By using a "trial" approach to confine the reform to one place, even if there are any serious consequences, they can be restrained within a controllable range, and the reform can be advanced and retreated freely.
This is indeed a good idea.
"In that case, how about using Jingzhao Mansion as a pilot project?"
His Majesty Li Er proposed.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Changsun Wuji was shocked and hurriedly spoke to stop him.
He finally wanted to understand why His Majesty came up with such a method of "reforming the state government". It may be true to strengthen the central government, but the most real purpose lies in this Jingzhao Mansion! Your Majesty is planning to deal with the Guanlong Group that exists in Guanzhong
Let’s start!
Perhaps His Majesty will not decide to uproot the Guanlong Group, which will definitely lead to turmoil in Guanzhong and affect the foundation of the empire, but it is almost inevitable to severely suppress the Guanlong Group!
Who said that the Guanlong Group always refused to stop and was always making small moves behind the scenes?
His Majesty Li Er looked hesitant: "Auxiliary machine, what's wrong?"
Changsun Wuji's mind was spinning rapidly, he must prevent His Majesty from establishing the Jingzhao Mansion!
Chang'an belongs to Yongzhou, and Yongzhou is directly subordinate to the Tang Dynasty. The highest official in Yongzhou, Yongzhou Mu, is personally held by His Majesty! But as an emperor, how can he have the leisure and energy to deal with the military and political affairs of a state?
?Therefore, the governance power of Yongzhou is actually in the hands of subordinate officials.
And most of these officials are from the Guanlong family...
After decades of political turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, not only the families in Guanzhong are still rooted in Guanzhong, but even several families from Longxi have huge family businesses in Guanzhong.
Your Majesty wants to firmly grasp the power of Yongzhou, which is equivalent to strangling the neck of the Guanlong family!
Changsun Wuji secretly swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Guanzhong is the place where the Tang Dynasty flourished, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is the foundation of the world. There is no room for any unrest. If Guanzhong is not peaceful, the world will not be peaceful!"
Your Majesty, please think again."
This reason is by no means far-fetched, on the contrary it is very powerful.
Throughout the dynasties, who dared not pay attention to the capital of the country, Gyeonggi?
Since Qin Shihuang unified China, the capitals and accompanying capitals of all dynasties have basically been administrative areas directly under the central government to strengthen management and control. Qin Shihuang divided the country into thirty-six counties, with the capital Xianyang and the "Neishi" surrounding the capital.
"Counties" are all direct jurisdictions directly subordinate to the central government.
The capital of the Western Han Dynasty was Chang'an, and some counties restored the feudal system. Some counties were directly under the central government. For example, the three counties near the capital, namely Jingzhaoyin, Fengyi on the left, and Fufeng on the right, were nicknamed "Sanfu" and were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was established
Luoyang, Henan Yin was added, and it was under the direct jurisdiction of the central government along with the "Three Assistants". The previous system was also followed from the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, the original "Three Assistants" were assigned to Yongzhou, and the emperor personally served as the pastor of Yongzhou.
Once the reform triggers turmoil in Guanzhong, the consequences will be disastrous!
His Majesty Li Er was silent.
He was extremely unhappy. He did not think that Changsun Wuji was thinking for the court or Li Er, but that he was deliberately seeking the welfare of the entire Guanlong Group. Everyone could see that the "Jingzhao Mansion" he established was for
If the power of Yongzhou is tightly held in its hands, the control of the Guanlong Group in the Guanzhong area will be greatly reduced.
Changsun Wuji is the spokesperson of the entire Guanlong Group!
But I am the emperor. When imperial power conflicts with your personal interests, shouldn't you, Changsun Wuji, stand by me without hesitation?
He was feeling tight in his chest, his face was gloomy, and he was suffering from a smoldering anger.
He has been my childhood playmate, my close comrade-in-arms, and the queen’s brother! I once made an oath in front of the queen’s bedside, promising to treat the eldest grandson’s family well. How could I break my promise to the queen?
Therefore, Changsun's iron factory once monopolized the entire pig iron market in the Tang Dynasty, and he let it go; Changsun Chong conspired to treason and tamper with it, but he was not even willing to pursue it, even if it made his most beloved daughter lonely all her life, he allowed him to hide.
Continue to be romantic and happy somewhere, enjoying the glory and wealth.
Therefore, even if Changsun Wuji is still fighting for power and profit for the Guanlong Group today, he does not intend to break up with him and bring down Changsun Wuji and the entire Changsun family.
After all, that is the Queen's family and her relatives...
Closing his eyes slightly, His Majesty Li Er took a long breath, then opened his eyes and glanced at Cen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen then said: "I beg your pardon for not agreeing with what Duke Zhao said."
Changsun Wuji was displeased: "Is what So-and-so said wrong?"
He didn't notice His Majesty Li Er's glance at Cen Wenwen, and he took it for granted that Cen Wenwen was going against him. This old guy was from Henan and had nothing to do with the Guanlong family. He must have wanted to suppress the Guanlong family to please him.
His Majesty……
Cen Wenwen smiled and said: "What Duke Zhao Guo said is right, but it is also wrong."
Changsun Wuji snorted: "I would like to hear the details."
Cen Wenwen said leisurely: "As Zhao Guogong said, the three auxiliary areas in Guanzhong are the foundation of the empire. People's hearts must not be turbulent and the society must not be unstable. Otherwise, it will be the source of the empire's disaster and the harbinger of the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. But now
The counties in Guanzhong are spending too much troops and public security is worrying. All the knights from all over the world have gathered in Chang'an City, shouting and fighting, kidnapping people, and killing women. It's shocking!"
Changsun Wuji thought about how to refute...
This is really not nonsense. As the largest, most populous, and most economically prosperous megacity in the world, Chang'an City attracts tens of thousands of people from all walks of life to come here every year to make a living.
Some of these people are studying, some are doing business, and some are buying real estate. Naturally, there are thieves, bandits, and bandits who commit crimes, kill prostitution, and plunder. These people often live in the homes of powerful people as knights, helping them run their industries and looking after their homes and homes.
, and do many illegal things.
Therefore, as the population of Chang'an City increases, social security will naturally become worse and worse.
Cen Wenwen continued: "Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor, the face of the country, and yet it is so dirty and filthy. How about the city of Xianyang? How about Sanyuan? How about Jingyang? How about Lantian? Needless to say, the situation must be worse. Since it is the most virtuous place in the empire, it naturally needs to be
It has the atmosphere of imperial civilization, but now Guanzhong is extremely ill. Serious diseases require strong medicine. If it is not destroyed, it cannot be established. Why not take this opportunity to reform the institution and add the Jingzhao Mansion to completely eliminate it from the root? Therefore, the veteran agrees to the establishment of the Jingzhao Mansion. Not only
I agree, and I also implore Your Majesty to establish the charter as soon as possible, sooner rather than later."
Changsun Wuji secretly thought it was not good!
How did this old guy get involved in public security?
It should be noted that almost all gambling houses, brothels, brothels, and wine shops in Chang'an City are the properties of the Guanlong family. And these properties are harbors of filth and evil, and are the source of disruption to social security.
Picking at the fault of the Guanlong family, Changsun Wuji wonders if he should continue to refute? After all, he is a member of the Guanlong Group and is the largest one...
His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied with Cen Wenwen's words. He looked at Fang Xuanling: "What do Xuanling think?"
Fang Xuanling simply said: "Jing Ren is aware of the subtlety of the writing, and everything he said is very relevant to the current situation. We cannot ignore it. In fact, not only the public security situation in Guanzhong is getting worse, but the grain tax revenue of the counties surrounding Chang'an has also been declining year by year in recent years. There are many
The rich and powerful enclose land wantonly, but the common people have nothing to farm and are either reduced to tenants or displaced. This not only makes it more difficult to manage social security, but also affects the empire's tax revenue. The veteran agrees with the establishment of the Jingzhao Mansion to eradicate these stubborn diseases."
The emperor has made up his mind to build the Jingzhao Palace, and it is indeed a good thing. Fang Xuanling would be stupid to object!
As for the forcible occupation of land by powerful people, this is something that has been unavoidable in all dynasties. The rich and powerful family does not need to pay taxes and grain because of the Lord, which will naturally affect the national tax revenue. However, Fang Xuanling once discussed this issue in depth with Fang Jun at home.
, if you want to completely solve the problem, it is definitely not just to add a Jingzhao Mansion. There is only one way, and that is for the court to vigorously establish business, divert the attention of powerful landlords from the land, and at the same time, let the emerging businesses absorb more landless farmers.
Achieve the purpose of two-way adjustment.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji lightly and said, "In that case, the matter will be settled."
Changsun Wuji felt desolate in his heart, which was instantly replaced by a deep fear.
