sweeping the world

Chapter 517

Every time a country is established, there will be a new group of nobles, probably the group of people who followed the Taizu to conquer the country.

Xungui has been a big trouble in all dynasties. They will rely on themselves to shed blood, sweat, kill people, go whoring... and so on for the party and the country. It's just a thing to restrain ordinary people, it has no restraint on them at all, and then they will do some unscrupulous things.

Things include encroaching on people's fields, robbing women's women, oppressing people...etc. Victims should be honored and not considered a bad thing.

In fact, the first generation of nobles still had some integrity, mainly because they thought that if they went too far, they would be used as an excuse for cleaning by Taizu. They" are usually more daring.

Those "generations" will be bold and have something to do with their growth environment. Their grandparents basically established their own network after running the business. There is no strong concept of right or wrong, only two concepts of being offended and not being offended.

The establishment of the Han Kingdom was only nearly five years old. As long as most of the "second generations" of honorable nobles are over five years old, they have basically experienced hardships in childhood, and their conduct and concept of right and wrong should not be distorted.Therefore, the "second generation of Xun" in the Han Dynasty did not often cause trouble, and if something happened, it would also happen to the "first generation of Xun".

The country established by Liu Yan follows the route of titles determining treatment, and each level of titles has corresponding rewards.

The treatment of the title of title has regulations from what kind of house can be obtained to how many servants and land rewards can be in the family.Among them, the housing specifications are basically fixed with the title of title, and the number of servants is also strictly limited, but the land is not strictly controlled to the point where it cannot be exceeded, but the Han Dynasty did not open land sales.

What did Liu Yan hear?It was Xungui who started drawing the circle!

"There is no such thing as honorable blatantly encircling the land..." Wang Meng understood why Liu Yan had such a big reaction. He glanced at Li Tu who was listening with gusto with the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to meet Liu Yan's eyes. He looked at Liu Yan's nose, and then said: "It may be Xungui's relatives, or unrelated people in the name of relatives."

Liu Yan doesn't believe that someone is so courageous or bad-minded enough to pretend to be a relative of a noble family. It is almost certain that someone who has received direct hints or hints is doing that.

"I came to my court under the banner of honor and honor to ask for land allocation, and all of them refused without exception." Wang Meng was still wondering why Liu Yan didn't ask Li Tu to step down, and he was still able to talk when he was so single-minded. De Shunliu: "There are too many things and no one will come to find me. What I don't know is that I just encountered a similar situation, or it is like this in all parts of the country."

At this time, Liu Yan remembered that there was someone beside him who was not Li Tu, so he signaled Wang Meng to wait first, then turned to Li Tu and said, "Your Majesty, do as you please."

Li Tu really doesn't have any identity now, but she is looking forward to having some identity. After hinting many times, Liu Yan didn't respond at all, but she was not sent back either.Now that she heard Liu Yan's order to chase away guests, she didn't know if she would have the opportunity to follow Liu Yan today, not to mention how disappointed she was in her heart, and how much opinion she had on Wang Meng, but she still had to step down obediently .It wasn't too far away, she went to the thatched cottage not far away through Liu Yan's failure to make it clear.

"Jing Lue said a very good sentence, 'I only know the sacred laws of the Han Dynasty', and I was very relieved when I heard about it." Liu Yan saw Wang Meng's expression changed for a moment, and he knew why.He didn't care about Wang Meng's sudden panic. It's normal for the king to know the movements of officials, and it's even more natural to observe the officials who think they have a future. , and Liangzhou and Daiguo have many unsettled worries, how many old lands have not been restored, I really don't want to see some people think that the world is already settled, and they should lie on the credit book and do evil."

Wang Meng had served as Liu Yan's personal secretary. If he knew anything about the king's affairs, he would definitely know more about it than the prime ministers and other civil and military officials.He remembered very clearly that during his tenure as Secretary Lang, he had never discovered that the king had any agency to secretly investigate officials. He was not sure whether the king had set it up after he resigned.

It is almost common for rulers to control the activities of civil and military officials in all dynasties. The difference is whether they are made public or not. In general, secret institutions are doing similar things. Only the rulers who are arrogant will make similar institutions obvious. , such as Dongchang...

"In the past Qin Xiaogong's brother, son Qian, had his nose cut off and his face tattooed for violating the Qin law, so as to protect the Qin law." Wang Meng almost trembled every sentence, knowing that he would offend too many people with his next words, and he didn't know what to say. He is someone he can't afford to offend now: "I think that since the great man imitated the pre-Qin, he should have the determination of the pre-Qin to uphold the laws of Qin."

It just so happened that Liu Yan knew a lot about the pre-Qin period, and it could even be said that he knew much more than Wu Huluanhua.He knew about the pre-Qin period because of the credits of several serial dramas, such as "Fission", "Zongheng", and "Rise".As for his preference for several serial dramas, he has studied the history of the pre-Qin period. If Wang Meng is interested in talking about the pre-Qin period, he can talk with Wang Meng for a few days and nights.

"The great Han was established by the king himself, sweeping Shijie and having the land of Shiqing, Xu, and Yanzhou, the foundation of the great Han, creating the current pattern of the Great Han..." Wang Meng obviously didn't know that talking about the pre-Qin would win Liu Yan's favor. From the perspective of loyalty, he described the history of the Great Han's creation. When he talked about it, he followed Liu Yan's history of conquests, and his tone was frustrating and forceful. Later, he concluded: "What the king wants to create is an endless great cause, and it should not be destroyed by some small things."

Thanks to his experience as Liu Yan's personal secretary, Wang Meng helped Liu Yan hold ink more than once, allowing Liu Yan to freely draw the outlines of the seven continents on the earth on a large white cloth.

In fact, Liu Yan’s outline of the seven continents of the earth, except for Asia and Europe in the world island, the rest of the continents are just a vague memory. Don’t worry about whether the labels are standard or not. That's enough.It’s really just a few continents, like the islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean... In addition to the "pain of the first dynasty", Liu Yan remembers the few islands such as the Uriel Islands, Kangaroo Island, and Gentleman Island. indivual.

As one of the helpers, Wang Meng learned that there was a round ball under his feet at that time. For a long time, he has been thinking about issues such as why people stand on the ball without falling off. The "world" known to the world is so small, and it is inevitable to say to Liu Yan, "A man should sweep away all wastes and heavens and achieve endless great achievements" and so on.

Liu Yan was recalling something about whether Wang Meng was a disciple of the Legalist school.

Relying on Dong Zhongshu's great achievements, after Liu Che "dismissed a hundred schools of thought to only respect Confucianism", Emperor Han Yuan's brain twitched and refused to accept people other than Confucian scholars as officials. From then on, no matter what school wanted to have a place in the officialdom , all need to hang a "Confucian" sign.

There are no hundreds of schools in the world, and there are only all kinds of Confucian skins and legal bones. Even Cao Cao, who was a disciple of Legalism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, could only continue to hang the Confucian signboard, and the result was that he didn’t care what he really learned. What is it, as long as you are a scholar, you call yourself a Confucian scholar.

Liu Yan really remembered that Wang Meng read "Chunqiu Gongyang Zhuan" and "Xunzi" far more than the Four Books and Five Classics.

The so-called "Gongyang" is a school of Confucianism, which advocates revanchism and has a very distinct color of ethnic revenge.Listening to the core sentence "the hatred of ten generations can still be avenged", how obsessed with revenge should be.

Hundreds of schools of thought disappeared, and Xunzi's descendants were classified into the Confucian school. However, this school was regarded as the biggest traitor by Confucianists. It has always been an alien in the eyes of many Confucian scholars. They only have to put "We are Legalist undercover agents" on their foreheads. Label.

After becoming the king of a country, Liu Yan studied Confucianism more or less, and came to the conclusion that Confucianism other than "Lu Ru" is not without merit. Fighting, I surrender when the enemy comes" is disgust to the bone.

Liu Yan never thought of restoring the pattern of a hundred schools of thought competing for beauty, but he could only say that it was a conclusion drawn from the perspective of a king.

To put it clearly, at best, the contention of a hundred schools of thought can restore intellectual competition, but people's hearts will also change with the competition of schools. For a country that wants to expand outward, it is a bad thing for a country to have too many ideas rather than a good thing.

No ruler wants to use the power of the whole country to go abroad, but the internal situation is chaotic. Then it is understandable why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wanted to "depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism".And it seems that Liu Che's "sovereignty" was not really implemented, at least when he was alive, not all Confucian scholars were in the court, and he didn't even reuse Confucian scholars. It was a ridiculous thing done by unworthy descendants, and he almost let the empire play died.But the fact is, without Liu Xiu, the son of this plane, the Han Empire would definitely have been played to death by Liu Xi.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty once said to Emperor Han Yuan personally: "The Han family has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way, but why is it purely a moral education, and uses Zhou politics! Moreover, the vulgar Confucianism is out of date, so the past is not the present, which makes people dizzy. If you know the truth, if you don’t know what to keep, how can you appoint it.”

Emperor Han Yuan, who was brainwashed by Confucianism since he was a child, must have been brainwashed badly. All he wanted was to be a good emperor who conformed to Confucian standards. In the end, he really used the hands of Confucianism to lift the stones of the Wang family and smash the feet of the Han family. A "traveler" came out and established a "new dynasty" without any difficulty, but this "traveler" also collapsed, allowing the "son of the plane" to start Long Aotian's life journey, and only then did the Eastern Han Dynasty come into being.

Wang Meng didn't know where the king he was loyal to let his thoughts go. Seeing Liu Yan's long-term deep thought, he could only quietly stand aside.

Liu Yan, who had been wandering in his thoughts for a long time, finally came to his senses. He had already determined that Wang Meng was inclined to legalist rule of the world. He judged it based on Wang Meng's many judgments when he was the county magistrate and magistrate. "Xunzi" is absolutely right.

In fact, Liu Yan didn't understand the history of Wuhu Luanhua, and Wang Meng was really a legalist under the skin of Confucianism.It can be clearly seen from the fact that Wang Meng advocated "heavy codes in troubled times" before he became the prime minister of Fu's Qin State (former Qin).

As a king, Liu Yan stands tall. He can see far and at the same time ignore some details. For example, as a king, he upholds the sanctity of the laws of the Qin Empire. A scholar with a normal mind, who doesn't do everything possible to find some legalist books to study and study.

It was too cold on the mountain, and the wind was stronger where there were cliffs. Liu Yan had a peculiar physique and didn't feel anything. Seeing that Wang Meng was so cold that his nose was running out, he stepped forward.

The Miyagi in Xiangguo is large, and large means that the facilities are complete. Wang Meng came to a Zhangtai with Liu Yan's great kindness, and stepped into the warm house before he seemed to be alive again.

"It's hard for you." Liu Yan said that Wang Meng was still trembling like that, and seemed to have the idea of ​​loyalty and righteousness, and said those words that would be full of civil and military affairs if he offended.He ordered someone to cook thick soup, and later he said to Wang Meng: "I know that after this year's survey, Jing Lue will be the governor of Zhangwu County. I ask you, what is the main point of governing a county?"

Wang Meng is a little sleepy now, which is a direct reaction of his body to being choked by the cold and suddenly entering a warm place.He almost bit his tongue to stimulate and drive away the drowsiness, and he cheered up, and replied: "I think the first thing is to investigate the distribution of the people's leased land."

The nobles in the Han Dynasty had fiefdoms, no matter how big or small the fiefdoms were, the government would arrange official slaves to farm for the nobles, and the nobles could also arrange manual farming by themselves.The government arranges official slaves to farm for the nobles, and adopts a [-]-[-] national tax.If the nobles rent to the common people, the ratio of [-] to [-] is considered conscientious, and it is not impossible to go too far.

The government adopts a year-by-year profit strategy for the lease of the people. In the first year, [-]% of the output is given to the government because of the provision of farm tools and horses (cattle). In the second year, it is reduced to [-]%.If the common people want to obtain official land cultivation rights, they must first have a household registration.

"The war forced many people to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. The big man has been attracting those people to come out, but not everyone can understand the national policy of the big man under the notice..." Wang Meng wanted to offend people to the end, and said: "Some people use The common people don’t know the national policy of the Han Dynasty, pay the common people to farm for themselves, and the land tax is so harsh that the common people can only get [-]% of the annual farming, and they even owe huge debts unknowingly and are forced to become slaves.”

Liu Yan felt a little cold.He just stood too high. With Wang Meng, a person who likes to tell the truth, how did he suddenly realize that there are so many unbearable problems in the country under his rule?
