Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 357 Opening the Curtain of Reform Again
In Changle Palace.

Liu Heng was not in Changle Palace today, so Luo Jing also came here. The queen saw Luo Jing and said with a smile: "A few days ago, my younger sister came back to the mansion and said that Dong Ahou is like the gentleman written in the book. , as warm and moist as beautiful jade, I am relieved, the women in the family are like cattail grass, lucky to meet a gentleman like you, so they can grow."

Luo Jing saluted first, and then said with a smile: "Your lady is a talented lady, her virtue is like that of ancient women, but she entered the poor room of the minister, isn't this the blessing of the minister?"

When the two exchanged pleasantries, Liu Heng was reading the essay beside him, with obvious joy on his face.

After reading it, he sighed: "I heard that the ancient sage kings could not be surprised by favor or humiliation.

No matter in the face of praise or insult, I always just smile it lightly, and don't let the outside world affect my state of mind. I haven't reached such a state yet. "

Facing the essay presented by Luo Jing, Liu Heng couldn't help feeling complacent, and immediately began to self-criticize.

The superior has already voluntarily admitted his mistake, so the subordinate should not persuade him again. This is a very simple truth.

Luo Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are really too modest.

I heard that the ancient writing was far less than the present, and the ancient language was far simpler than the present. When the ancients praised the sage king, they would only say: "Your virtue, no one in the world can surpass you. This is beyond my reach, and I am willing to obey you. '

I praise you, but I use thousands of words, complex and beautiful words, and sincere emotions. I use the moon to describe you, and I use stars to describe you.

This is like porridge made of wild vegetables and exquisite meat. Would people who eat it feel the same?

It's not that you are inferior to the ancient sage kings, it's because the minister's praise can go deep into your heart, which makes you feel happy. "

Liu Heng laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said after laughing: "If you get praise but don't do it, you are a shameless person, I don't want to do that.

But I still can't deserve such praise now, I should work harder to make people in the world live and work in peace and contentment.

Last winter was very cold, Chang'an City did not freeze to death the refugees on the streets, so all the officials praised that it was my benevolence that touched the heavens, and it was my benevolent government that saved those lives.

But I know that in Shandong, which is far away from Chang'an and Guanzhong, many refugees must have died in that cold winter, and it was all my fault.

These refugees should have fields to live on, houses to shelter from the cold, and clothes to keep out the cold, so that they can survive every severe winter.

If benevolent government cannot spread to the living and the people, isn't it just whitewashing the peace?
That's not what I want. "

Hearing this, Luo Jing suddenly thought of his father. If he saw His Majesty today, he would be very happy.

Not only because Liu Heng ended one thing he hadn't done perfectly, but also because Liu Heng really became the kind of monarch he dreamed of.

He has thunderbolt methods, but he also has kindness in his heart.

Luo Jing bowed and said, "Does Your Majesty want to re-determine the land of the world?"

Liu Heng nodded and said: "A few days ago, Jia Qing wrote a letter saying that now is the best time to solve the land issue, and it will be difficult to deal with it later.

However, the equal land policy proposed by Confucian scholars is really too radical. If this is done, I am afraid that everyone in the world will oppose me, and I do not agree.

But a little cleaning is still very necessary.

I plan to do this in five to ten years.

It can not only alleviate the difficulties that the people may encounter, but also further fill the treasury of the imperial court. Today, the world is stable and free from disasters, and there is no danger of war. The people can even accumulate some surplus food. I will try my best to maintain this situation. "

……

A decree came out from the ban.

"The flowing water freezes, is it cold overnight?
I don't think so.

The thousand-mile-long embankment was washed away because of a small ant nest.

The troubles in this world all start from small things.

Doesn't this wake us up?
The people's anger is accumulated little by little, and their dissatisfaction with the court is hidden deep in their hearts. When the day becomes unbearable, they will rise up and destroy everything like a raging flood.

The tragic image of the end of Qin is vivid in the history books. Are there any nobles of the Qin Dynasty who survived?
The big man has been overthrown, can you all be alone?
Is the land I Qingzhang just for the little tax from the imperial court?

This is a policy of cutting off carrion and preserving the wealth of your family forever, and it is for your lives.

Propagate this decree to the four directions, so that all people in the world know it. "

The imperial court will start to check the land among the counties and states in the world. Those lands that are illegally plundered and that do not pay taxes must be punished according to crimes.

All of a sudden, the world shook.

Especially this decree, a typical emperor's style, first courtesy and then soldiers, although the emperor was benevolent, but in the past few years of reform, those officials who had different political views and improper conduct led to the law, and finally took their families to Lingnan.

And even so, Liu Heng is still the benevolent emperor, and those exiled officials have to thank Liu Heng.

But reform and restructuring are completely different, especially the reform that touches on the fundamental issue of land, which is even more serious than the reduction of the feudal clan. The essence of the reduction of the feudal clan is the collision between interest groups. On the side of the imperial court.

Clearing up the land will touch the interests of the vast majority of people, and even among those who support Liu Heng now, many people will oppose it.

But Liu Heng dared to do this, so he was sure of it.

Who were the founders of the Great Han Dynasty?
Except for the few people like Luo Yi and Zhang Liang, most of them are dogs and pigs slaughterers. There are also rural farmers, refugees, and county officials. This is already a group of quite low-level people.

In the era of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, some obscure Confucian scholars served as high officials of the imperial court after restructuring. Those from poor families jumped up and even served as Sangong Jiuqing. The imperial court’s nearly [-] imperial troops were all from Guanzhong small landowner.

What do these things represent?

It represents that the ruling foundation of the Han court is extremely broad. The Han court is not a regime supported by powerful families, but a dynasty supported by a large number of small landlords, free people, intellectuals, and military nobles.

With today's information transmission efficiency, Hanting's ruling foundation has almost reached its limit.

It is precisely because of such a broad ruling base that the Han court was able to enforce the mausoleum system, so that those powerful families with powerful powers would bow their heads obediently.

These people are Liu Heng's greatest confidence in reforms. As long as the interests of small landlords and free people are protected, and students and military nobles are given channels to rise, the court will be invincible.

The clearing of the land starts from Guanzhong. This is the basic area of ​​the Han court. Liu Heng has been sending warmth and welfare in the Guanzhong area all these years. He is extremely strict in the management and control of the officials here. discipline.

The saying "If you break the law in Guanzhong, the crime will be added to the first class" is widely circulated.

A large number of officials spread out from Chang'an to the entire Guanzhong. This sudden inspection of officials exposed many problems at once.

"Simply shocking!"

Liu Heng looked at the crimes presented, his hands were trembling, his lips were blue and white, he looked at Luo Jing and roared in a low voice: "Ah Jing, Guanzhong is the emperor's palace.

If Guanzhong is like this, will the land of Shandong be more peaceful?

Have there been civil upheavals?

When the rebels hit Luoyang and Hangu Pass, I will know that the world of the big man is on the verge of collapse.

It is so ridiculous that I am still complacent about the great cause of the prosperous age. "

The rule of the sage king that Liu Heng has been studying is perfect, and he thought that the same is true under his own rule, so for a while he couldn't accept that his people were also in dire straits.

Luo Jing bowed and said: "Your Majesty is serious.

The people in Guanzhong almost have a surplus of food, and the government is relatively clear, which is already very remarkable, and most of the history is not as good as your rule.

There are detailed historical records in the minister's family, the rule of Kang Wang and Zhao Wang Zhongxing during the Bang Zhou period are nothing more than that, you are a well-deserved virtuous king.

I think you should not belittle yourself, but you should be more energetic and extend the situation in Guanzhong to Shandong.

All the subjects in the world will praise your kindness, this is something that I can be sure of. "

Liu Heng forcibly restrained his anger, knowing that he was thinking too far. When King Luo Wen was in power, he could keep calm about everything, and said softly: "It's because I am too ambitious. Dazed.

Ah Jing, you are right, the situation in Guanzhong is already very good, Shandong is the key, but the officials and powerful people in Guanzhong, I can't let them go, they should be exiled to Lingnan.

I am angry that the King of Lingnan treats these people well with the emperor's seal. "

The most desperate news came to those officials, tyrants and nobles who were restless and deceiving.

"Guanzhong is the kingly foundation of the Han court, but I am angry when I meet these big rats like you, the foundation of the big man has been eroded under you.

Apart from exile in Lingnan, I really can't dispel the anger in my heart. Do I have other ways to explain to the subjects in Guanzhong? "

Lingnan!

This is simply one of the most serious punishments in the Han court law.

Areas closer to the south, such as Yuzhang County, Jiujiang County, and Kuaiji County, have not been fully developed, and there are still large areas of no-man's land.

Directly exiled to Lingnan, if exiled to Lingnan country, it is still good, if exiled to those barbarian lands outside Lingnan country, and build their own cities, the survival rate will be greatly reduced.

The premise is that Lingnan King Zhao Tuo will not take special care of him.

Many people wanted to ask for mercy, but in the face of the furious emperor, no one's persuasion was of any use.

Under such circumstances, the land of Qingzhang completely kicked off.
