The reason why the Erzhu family was able to take over Luoyang in the first place was actually an important reason that was overlooked by people, that is, since the Tuoba family started their business, the Erzhu family has always been the watchdog here in Xiurongchuan, and by the way, they raised horses and raised horses. Livestock for military supplies.

The Erzhu clan built a network of official relationships in the Wei state through continuous marriages, which provided invisible but tangible convenience for Er Zhurong to eventually enter Luoyang.

It's a pity that the Yuan clan has lost power now, but the Erzhu clan has not completely filled this power vacuum.So Erzhurong's invisible loss is actually very clear: Erzhu's lost the political resources accumulated for a hundred years, and his reputation in Wei State became notorious.

No, it should be said that the original Wei State had already existed in name only.

"I didn't listen to Yi Shou's words at the beginning, and it was too late to regret..."

Er Zhurong was lying on the table, murmuring repeatedly.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Er Zhuzhao whispered in Er Zhurong's ear.

"What's the matter?"

Er Zhurong sat up straight, squinted his eyes, and asked, smelling of alcohol.

Seeing his dejected look, Er Zhuzhao couldn't bear it, but he still said in a deep voice: "Uncle, there is someone in the city who had an affair with that He Liuhun, and I caught him!"

Private news?Isn't this normal? It's not the first time!

Er Zhurong wiped his face, and sighed displeasedly: "People's hearts are like this, they seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, there is nothing to say, let's kill them together with the family."

Er Zhurong looked indifferent.

"Uncle, rebellion is not the point, the point is this letter."

Er Zhuzhao handed over the seized letter to Er Zhurong, and when the latter saw it, most of his drunkenness dissipated in an instant!

This letter was written in the name of Gao Huan, but it could be seen that it was not written by Gao Huan himself, Er Zhurong still knew Gao Huan's handwriting.The letter said that Hedouling Bufan, who is entrenched in Hexi, will come from the grassland in the north and attack Bei Xiurong.

Since you are sincerely relying on me, Gao, then cooperate with Hedouling Bufan to help capture Bei Xiurong.At that time, when it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, your share will inevitably be indispensable.

A typical nomination certificate, newcomers must stab the old owner in the back.

The literal meaning is actually easy to understand.However, there was another layer of hidden meaning in this letter, which Er Zhuzhao didn't understand.

Gao Huan has the appearance of a hero, with the heart of seeking the world.Hedouling Bufan is a Xianbei immigrant from Fufeng Pingling, and later brought a group of people to sit in Hexi, and has no background at all.What reason does Gao Huan have to help Hedouling Bufan?

More importantly, why should such confidential and important news be clearly stated in the letter?Wouldn't it be enough to send someone to dictate it?

"This is He Liuhun's plan to kill three scholars with two peaches."

Er Zhurong said in a deep voice.

Obviously, this letter does not even rule out that Gao Huan ordered people to make a noise in Xiurong County, deliberately exposing it to Er Zhuzhao.There is only one purpose, to let the people of the Erzhu family know that Hedouling Bufan is coming to attack.

So, you must be prepared, and you must not be successfully attacked by Hedouling Bufan!

This is probably what Gao Huan wanted to say.

Er Zhurong already felt Gao Huan's deep malice from this letter.

……

Although it was already late at night, and Liu Yishou called him just before he fell asleep, Cui Xian was not annoyed at all, and was even very excited.Of course, this may also have something to do with his sister giving birth to the "eldest son".

"I have read all the drafts of these famous laws and regulations, and only what you wrote wins my heart."

In the study, Liu Yishou handed the draft to Cui Xian, and nodded in satisfaction.

"My lord, the subordinates feel that the matter of the Eight Discussions cannot be simply abolished. This is an important means for the master to restrain many people. The Eight Discussions can not only reduce the punishment, but also increase the punishment!"

Cui Xian said calmly, he believed that Liu Yishou would understand what he meant.

"Is there an additional punishment?"

Liu Yishou was thoughtful and changed a word, and the meaning was completely changed.

If Ba Yi is only for reducing the sentence, then this is a tool of Wang Zha's level of oppression.

However, if the sentence can be increased while the sentence is reduced, it will be similar to the final ruling of the Supreme Court in later generations. At the same time, it has the power and procedure to review the case, which can reduce the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Well, this tool can actually be kept, although it will also carry a strong taste of power struggle at the same time.

Liu Yishou glanced at Cui Xian, who was somewhat expectant, and murmured in his heart: This little witty ghost, is it really more terrifying if an honest person takes it seriously?

"Well, what you said is reasonable. But eight discussions, lack of a master, who will discuss it? I think it's better to set up a special government office under my rule, called Dali Temple, to review those who need to review Case. You, come to be the Minister of Dali Temple, and take the lead in compiling the new law by the way."

"really!"

Cui Xian was so excited that she wanted to jump up!Liu Yishou is indeed a hero, even though he is living in the Liang Kingdom now, all he thinks about is the world, and he has absolutely no intention of idling.

If one force wants to replace another, maintain its long-term advantage, and finally change the dynasty, what is your core competitiveness?

Can fight better?To better discover talents?Can it accommodate the people better?These are all counted, but you can't be biased, and you can't just specialize in one of them.

"I think that this law should be divided into sub-sections such as famous regulations, military law, household marriage, unscrupulous activity, robbery, litigation, fraud, miscellaneous affairs, arrest and death, and prison sentence. There are three sub-subjects of guarding and stables. If you didn't expect it, you can fill it in.

After this law was compiled, it was first implemented in the Shouyang area, and then gradually spread to the areas under our rule.

As for the principle, both regulations and cases are given equal importance, and cases should be dealt with urgently, while judgments should be delayed.At the same time, we set up a school in Shouyang to train officials who handle cases. "

"My lord, all those things need money... Is it really necessary?"

Cui Xian smiled helplessly.

"The money that should be spent still needs to be spent, and it is not in a hurry now, let's compile a new code first."

Liu Yishou sighed, everything is difficult at the beginning, if a power only regards itself as a feudal town from the beginning, and does not think about what will happen in the future, then in the future, it will only be expected to be a feudal town.

Xiao Yan was able to replace Southern Qi in the first place because he actually took advantage of the "state machine" of Southern Qi. Those officials in Jiankang changed from officials of Southern Qi to officials of Nanliang in a sudden change.Of course, such disadvantages are also obvious. Shen Ke of Southern Qi was inherited by Nanliang and passed down from generation to generation.

Gao Huan was able to gain a foothold in Yecheng because of the Hebei family, which could provide them with enough talents!This is also an important reason why he was able to gain an advantage in the struggle with Er Zhurong.

"Although we are weak, pitiful, and helpless, but..."

Liu Yishou didn't know how to tell Cui Xian, he could only knock on the table with his fist and said: "But we have lofty ideals. The short-lived peace will not last long. Liang Guo is decaying step by step, and when it reaches a At the critical point, violent storms will blow. When Bodhisattva Xiao crosses the river, he really wants to see if he is a clay bodhisattva."

A lot of things have been said quite straightforwardly, Cui Xianshen nodded and said: "My lord's ambition, I know it. I just leave it to me to write the new law."

"No, let Chen Yuankang, Wang Wei, Yang Min and others help you together, but you finally decided to integrate it into a manuscript. Although this matter is not urgent, the sooner the better."

Legislation is a major event in the country. In the feudal era, the most important thing is to abolish the laws of the previous dynasty.Liu Yishou's worry is also natural.

Cui Xian rolled up his sleeves and bowed deeply to Liu Yishou.

"By the way, all cities, market towns and even villages under the rule have issued arrest warrants for Yuanxiu."

Liu Yishou said something that shocked Cui Xian.

"Master, didn't you ask Dai Zigao to send Yuan Xiu to Yecheng?"

Cui Xian asked suspiciously.

"It's his business that he went to Yecheng. I wanted him because he committed a crime. This is what I should do as the governor.

Is there any conflict between the two?

The law is clear and upright, and those who are guilty must be prosecuted. This is the most basic justice for a politician.It was my fault for not wanting him. "

Liu Yishou said firmly.

Cui Xian was speechless and could only salute and say goodbye.

Chapter 348 Working hard to make money while farming

In the study room, Liu Yishou had a thick stack of account books on the table, and he was holding a book in his hand, which was all the expenditures of his subordinates and the various incomes in his territory from last year to this year. His head was as big as a bucket.

Fatty Yang cautiously stood aside with a smiling face, not knowing what to say, as if saying anything was inappropriate.

"I said Zunyan (Yang Min's name)... Look at this, don't you feel a headache?"

Liu Yishou put down the account book in his hand and asked helplessly.

"My lord, no, just get used to it."

Yang Min said very "modestly".

"It's all written in black pen, it's too difficult to distinguish. The items of income are written in black pen, and the items of expenditure are written in red pen. Does this make it easier to see?"

Liu Yishou doesn't know if it's difficult to keep accounts, but he knows that in this thick account book, he must first check whether it is income or expenditure for every transaction, and if he is not careful, he will "serialize".Well, the writing habit of the account book is to write vertically from top to bottom.

Hearing this, Yang Min was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

Black pens come in, red pens come out. Liu Yishou kept the bookkeeping rules that ordinary people knew at that time. This era has not been figured out yet, and it is normal for Yang Min not to know.

"Also, Zun Yan, you are a great talent, so you can easily control many things. But..."

Liu Yishou paused, seeing Yang Min's humble face, he was too embarrassed to reprimand him.

"But many people are not as smart as you. Things that you can easily control may be difficult for them."

Yang Min nodded slightly. Liu Yishou was still very good at talking, so let's praise him first.

"Look at this column. If you buy mussels for [-] yuan, you won't be able to keep accounts like this."

Liu Yishou pointed to one of the columns and said, thinking to himself, Jia Sixie is really a big money burner.

"Then how do you remember?"

Yang Min was puzzled by the question. After all, everyone used to play like this, and their accountant Mr. Yang of Hongnong (called Dian Ji at this time) kept accounts like this.

"Two books, one records the purchase of [-] yuan of mussels, and the other records the expenditure of [-] yuan from the treasury. When reconciling the accounts, one by one is written off. Where did the money come from and where did it go in the end? It's all clear.

In this case, as long as a small official who is proficient in mathematics and literature can do such a thing.You don't have to work so hard to calculate the accounts.

By the way, recruit people who are proficient in writing from the family members of the army, set up a school, and teach them arithmetic and accounting.The money that should be spent must be spent! "

Now that the land is large, Liu Yishou deeply feels that it is difficult to find qualified low-level officials, and people from local aristocratic families are not at ease in employing them.Since there is no one directly available, take a crash course!

"My lord, everything is going well now. In fact, there is no need to be so anxious. My lord should pay attention to rest."

Yang Min calmly persuaded.

Liu Yishou's forgetting to eat and sleep has already attracted the attention of many of his subordinates. Judging from this "predicting the enemy's opportunity" habit, there must be something big about to happen.Therefore, what Yang Min and the others were concerned about was not to ask Liu Yishou to rest more, but to know what major event caused Liu Yishou to thorn in his back.

"You don't understand, the stable days are not long, I can't be in a hurry."

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

According to news from the north, the Gao Huan regime, with the help of the Hebei family, especially the grassroots talents of the Hebei family, has filled the shortcomings of Gao Huan's power in the country's governance, making the situation in the north rapidly stable.

Especially after the promulgation of the new version of the land equalization system, the people's hearts were stable, the bandits were disarmed and recruited, and the situation of "land to the tiller" was gradually realized.

Liu Yishou remembered that this period of time seemed to be ignored in the history books of his previous life, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty issued many new laws and regulations in order to restore people's livelihood.If not, how could Gao Huan, who was often defeated in battles with Yu Wentai on the western front, have so many family backgrounds to give him trouble.

You must know that in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, many places were in chaos, and Gao Huan's consumption on the front line with Yu Wentai was due to the peaceful production after the eradication of Erzhu's forces, not the legacy left by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Eastern Wei regime's efforts and achievements in restoring production were corrected by the "historical victors".If Liu Yishou ignores this point and thinks that Gao Huan is vulnerable, then he will be the only one who will cry.

Once Gao Huan got rid of the constraints of Er Zhurong's influence, Hebei, which needed people and money, could easily conscript [-] soldiers and horses to go south.

Liu Yishou knew that He Bayue's political ability was far inferior to Yu Wentai's, and that the Western Wei Dynasty in his previous life might not be able to establish a country smoothly.Or Gao Huan's pacification of Guanzhong a few years later is unknown.

All in all, you can't pin your own survival on the stupidity of the enemy.

"I don't think you have anything to do today. Why don't you go to Shaopi together? I heard that Jia Sixie is cultivating mussels. There is a lot of expenses in the account book. I also want to see where the money is spent."

Liu Yishou stood up. He had been in the study for a while, and his whole body was not feeling well. He really wanted to go out to exercise his muscles and bones.

"My lord, I also ate that mussel. Although it is delicious, is it necessary to breed it on such a large scale?"

While following Liu Yishou out of the yard, Yang Min asked suspiciously.Even if the rumors about the pearls from the river mussels are true, the proportion is too small, and it is an exaggeration to describe it as one in a million. I wish it was one in a million!

It’s fine for farmers to breed spontaneously, and they can do whatever they want. Is it necessary for “officials” to join in?

"Clams absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and produce pearls of rice grains. Even if you don't have pearls, it's good to eat some meat."

Liu Yishou said meaningfully, not wanting to explain too much to Yang Min.The two led the horses in the stables and went out of the city towards Shaopi.

……

Shaopi covers an extremely large area, even comparable to some smaller states and counties.When he came to the north of Shaopi, Liu Yishou found that on the bank of the river flowing into Shaopi, there were many small ponds separated by wooden fences, and the insides were densely packed with river mussels, and the big ones were even bigger than the palm of an adult. Big!

People with intensive phobia will definitely faint here.Liu Yishou also gasped, the scale of this aquaculture seems to be bigger than expected!

Soon, he and Yang Min saw a farmer carrying two buckets. The buckets were full of red bugs that were often seen in ponds, smaller than rice grains, and some of them were long strips like hair. of.

"Isn't this for feeding fish?"

Yang Min looked at the worms in the bucket and said thoughtfully.

Soon, they got the answer. Liu Yishou watched the farmer throw these spoonfuls into the isolated pool. Sure enough, a lot of big fish as long as a human's foot came around to eat the bugs.
