Chapter 1818 The contradiction must be known to His Majesty
This task was given to Liu Xuan, which naturally suited his taste.
Of course, the change of thinking is not a quick and direct process, it requires the subtle influence of each generation.
Therefore, Li Xingchen now only limits the battlefield to newspapers. In newspapers, literati can criticize and criticize with words and words, but in private no one is allowed to inspire people's hearts and minds.
Li Xingchen also had to see what the people of this era were thinking before he could decide what to do next. Otherwise, once public opinion got out of control, it would affect the rule of the Han Dynasty.
"I am willing to establish a newspaper for Your Majesty and promote His Majesty's ideas." Liu Xuan said solemnly.
Li Xingchen glanced at him, this guy was still ambitious.
Li Xingchen asked him to run a newspaper, but in this guy's words, it became "newspaper industry".
It's not his fault, after all, he had always been regarded as an alternative before, but now he suddenly met someone who needed and supported him, even the emperor of Han Dynasty. Liu Xuan, like Liu Zhuo, almost lost his mind with excitement.
It is reasonable to blurt out some things from your heart.
Liu Xuan realized that he seemed to have said too much, and smiled coquettishly for a moment.
His expression all fell in Li Xinchen's eyes, and Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile: "Just go ahead and do it, I will let the Ministry of Rites cooperate with you."
"According to the order!"
Li Xingchen stretched out and looked at the somewhat tense atmosphere in the imperial study room.
Er Liu was already happily doing what Li Xingchen told them.
The people who are staring at each other now are Jiang Mang, the Minister of Works, and Yuan Chengjia, the Minister of Personnel.
These two guys are here to rob people.
To be precise, they represent not only their respective departments, but also the forces behind them. There have been obvious divisions in the Han Dynasty's court. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce and the Taiwei Mansion stand together, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites,
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice stood together, and the Yushitai was in the middle to mediate. Now that the war is over, it is time for everyone to share the benefits, so it is reasonable for the two sides to suddenly have conflicts.
Conflicts, of course, do not occur in a day or two, and for the generals and businessmen led by the Taiwei Mansion, war means military exploits and making a fortune, while for the civil servants on the other side, war means that they have finally worked out a plan.
All development plans must be scrapped and started from scratch.
It's just that such contradictions and conflicts usually don't show up. After all, everyone is still trying their best to maintain the integrity of the big man. Li Xingchen also hopes to see such a confrontation. He just needs to maintain the balance in the middle. In this way, the big man can both
Achieve decentralization of civil and military power and achieve stable development. When it is really necessary to work together, no one will fall behind.
Now that the spoils have begun to be divided, naturally no one on either side wants to give in.
Talent is a very important issue.
This time, the Han Dynasty went all the way to the river. Many northern talents were conquered by the Han Dynasty. Few of these people were able to stay in office. Li Xingchen did not want to see the flowing water of the court and the unchanged parents and officials. Most of the officials had to go to the academy.
The centralized training is to strengthen their loyalty, and to familiarize them with the laws and policies of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, so as to prevent them from running counter to the political ideas of the Han Dynasty when they become parents-in-chief.
During this period, the local state capitals that had become inland were in charge of officials transferred from the south, while the state capitals on the front line were simply under military control. Li Xingchen had to admit that it was dangerous for the army to interfere in government, but temporary military control was indeed
More efficient and convenient for command and dispatch.
Although it will take some time for these talents to be appointed, both sides are naturally eyeing them. Everyone hopes that talented people can be used for themselves. This will not only reduce work pressure, but also make it easier to achieve commendable performance.
Sticking to old rules is not a good thing in the Han Dynasty. In this rapidly developing country, new ideas and new thinking are constantly emerging. If an official still adheres to the original dogma, nothing will be accomplished in the end.
Of course, the competition for talents is fierce, but it is far from fierce to the point where the two ministers stared at each other and even came to quarrel in front of His Majesty. Of course Li Xinchen understood what these guys meant.
At least now, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Punishment should be the two easier departments among the six departments heading north. The workshops in various places are fully operational. The Ministry of Works, as the central dispatching center, has nothing to do. After all, the workshops have already formed a
With its own industrial chain, the Ministry of Industry does not need to intervene too much. The market operation will naturally transport the products of the workshops to the places where these products are needed.
Similarly, after the Ministry of Punishment completed the reception of prisons in various places and cooperated with the Taiwei Mansion to complete the merit-based rewards for the Northern Expedition, it was naturally relatively free. After all, the implementation and publicity of the law was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment did not
It's easy to intervene. As long as the Ministry of Rites can properly publicize the law, the Ministry of Punishments has no additional requirements.
Therefore, these two guys who rarely have time to spare are naturally the representatives chosen by both civil and military parties. On the one hand, they strive for some benefits for themselves as much as possible, and on the other hand, they also express to Li Xingchen that, as His Majesty wishes, there is indeed a great deal between our two sides.
contradiction.
Checks and balances have always been a headache for emperors. No matter which side you win over, it may lead to an imbalance of power in the entire court. A dominant family will only lead to the birth of powerful ministers and the possibility of monopolizing power. Even if the two families take turns, it will
This leads to unbalanced and discontinuous policies. This was the case in the Northern Song Dynasty in history. The new party and the old party crushed each other. No matter who came to power, it would be a bloody storm and policy adjustments.
Regardless of small policy adjustments, this often means that the efforts of the previous generation are in vain. The most obvious one is that on the management of the Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty, the new party and the old party each held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. In the end, who proposed it?
The plans were all flawed but completely ignored the criticism from the opposite side, which led to repeated failures in Yellow River management. The Yellow River forcibly washed the entire strategic area of Hebei into a yellow flood zone, clearing the way for the Jurchens to move south.
Li Xingchen absolutely did not allow such a thing to happen, so he insisted on maintaining the separation of civil and military powers throughout the court and local areas, and established a separate Yushitai to supervise this separation of powers with the emperor.
Whether the military generals are stronger than the civil officials or the civil officials are stronger than the military generals, the world will eventually be in chaos. The Tang and Song Dynasties are the best examples.
Now, whether intentionally or unintentionally, these guys are obviously telling Li Xinchen, don't worry, old man, there are indeed conflicts between our civil and military forces.
Not only does the contradiction exist, but His Majesty must also be informed that this is a tacit understanding between civil and military forces.
No one needs guidance, everyone will do it.
Li Xingchen was definitely a hero of the previous generation. In front of such a hero, the founding heroes had to carefully weigh their own importance. Only if His Majesty realizes that a situation of mutual restraint has formed between them, will he not do anything to everyone.
