Governor please stay

Now Gao Huan is experiencing this kind of real constraint, and is at a loss what to do.

"Entrepreneurship is difficult, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done..."

Gao Huan let out a long sigh, and his back under the oil lamp was a little bent.

"Father……"

Gao Yang walked into the study cautiously, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.

At first glance, it was obvious that he was here to offer advice. In fact, Gao Huan has received similar things recently.He looked at Gao Yang with a slight nod and smiled and said, "If you have a heart, put it on the table."

Gao Yang put down the papers, then folded his sleeves and saluted without stopping, and exited the study directly.

Gao Huan suddenly felt that his second son seemed to be quite sensible.

He casually picked up the few pieces of paper and looked at them, then immediately sat up straight.After reading all the content, Gao Huan stood up and paced in the study, then suddenly pushed open the study door, and said to Liu Taozhi who was dozing by the door: "Go, call A Yang, I have something to ask he."

After a while, Gao Yang came to the study. Gao Huan stood up, looked down at the 13-year-old second son condescendingly, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you think about it?"

"Good father."

After Gao Yang saluted, he said to Gao Huan: "Father, my son thinks that a country should have the appearance of a country. With the system and majesty of the country, it is natural to restrain those ambitious people. The so-called core, but It's the word rules."

Gao Yang's words seemed to be all fake nonsense, but after careful study, he found that there was a lot of tricks in it!Other people's empty talk has only form, but Gao Yang's words just now have spirit!It's no longer a ignorance of the so-called rhetoric.

"It's interesting, let's go on."

Gao Huan nodded in relief.

"It is said that a thousand miles cannot be reached without accumulating steps, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Restoring the majesty of the country's laws and regulations does not happen overnight. You can start with the easy and then the difficult, starting from the smallest.

When you do one thing, you need to fix this rule, and start to implement small rules one by one, and the laws of the country will show their majesty little by little.

The boy knew that his father felt that the Hebei family was too big to lose.In fact, the child believes that things need to be looked at from both sides.The center has established a majesty, which can naturally suppress local resistance.This kind of suppression is not only relying on weapons, but also relying on laws, money and officials.

Some things are not easy to change now, but it does not mean that they will never be easy to change.We can start from the smallest and most basic place, so that the common people and wealthy families can realize the benefits and advantages of the central authority. "

Gao Yang's words were well-founded, which pleased Gao Huan.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Where does the breakup start?"

"Weights and measures."

Gao Yang spat out three words.

This made Gao Huan fall into contemplation, he never thought that the breakthrough point to break the game was here.

"Tell me in detail." Gao Huan encouraged Gao Yang with a slight nod.

"The adjustment of silk in various states is not in the same way, and the people are very distressed, and the orders are all made of forty feet. This is the benefit of weights and measures."

Gao Yang said slowly.

Although the Northern Wei Dynasty promulgated the land equalization system, it was destroyed again.After Gao Huan established the small imperial court in Yecheng, he re-divided the fields. Due to the rush of time, many places were completed hastily.

Therefore, when Juntian implemented it, there were many natural problems.

For example, the distribution of land was too sloppy at that time. The nobles and rich families chose good fields, and poor families could only get poor ones. what?

How to divide the fields of each class and how to convert them? Is there a standard?

Another example is the rent adjustment system, not to mention food, and other textiles such as silk.Now Wei State’s economy is in chaos, some places are narrower and some are wider, so is it calculated according to the length of the cloth or the weight of the cloth?

If it is by weight, there are cunning people who weave cloth with coarse linen, so as to reduce the labor time.If it is calculated by length, what should be the width of the paid cloth?

In the past, the Northern Wei Dynasty was not without standards, but after the Northern Wei Dynasty existed in name only, those standards have long been thrown into the sky. The reason is that the country has no laws without management, and without laws, there are no standards.

The so-called weights and measures need to be calibrated and constrained from time to time!

This question raised by Gao Yang seems insignificant, but it actually touches the soul.

"It makes sense."

Gao Huan nodded slightly and said.

"So, if the country wants to get back on track, it must first start with the basics of land tax, land tax, merchant tax, and unify weights and measures.

Rent collection must be the same, and officials must implement picketing.There must be a benchmark for the width and density of the rent-adjusted cloth, and the government cannot accept unqualified ones.

The size and materials of the Taihe five-baht coins circulating in the market are all different, so that the market is chaotic, and the coins need to be recast and the old coins should be eliminated.

There should be no objection to these measures. "

Gao Yang asked confidently. He and Zhao Yanshen had deduced it many times before, so Gao Huan should be able to accept it.

"Good! Good! Any more!"

Gao Huan patted Gao Yang's shoulder excitedly and asked.

"The water system around Yecheng is well developed, but it has been in war for many years and has not been repaired for a long time.

With Yecheng as the center, building water conservancy projects and expanding the fields, Dingkou, and taxation in the Gyeonggi area can naturally restrict other places in Hebei.This is the fastest way to regain strength.

Therefore, on the one hand, the next step is to garrison fields in the Hanoi area to prevent the soldiers and horses in the pass from leaving the pass. On the other hand, it is necessary to take the opportunity to rectify the river channels and embankments around Yecheng, and then check the distribution of acres around Yecheng.

If the area is not large, we can concentrate our forces to force rectification.When Yecheng is fertile, the country's strength will naturally recover, and there will be no fear of others. "

"Your suggestion is very good. It's getting late, so go back and rest. We'll discuss these matters tomorrow."

Gao Huan laughed, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

"By the way, father, in order to frighten Xiao Xiao, why not take advantage of the window when the autumn harvest is over, pretend to organize an autumn hunt near Linshui (Ci County), invite those people that father wants to frighten to participate in the safari, and then suddenly perform martial arts.

Only after the display of military power is it appropriate to implement reforms. "

Gao Yang suggested calmly.

This is a good way!

The Northern Wei Dynasty has always had the habit of the emperor organizing autumn hunting. Although the frequency of autumn hunting became extremely low after Emperor Xiaowen, this tradition has been preserved.

In the name of Qiushou, let's pretend to play for a while, get some prey and return it to the forest.Then attract those people from Hebei aristocratic families, or invite them to come and observe and participate.

After they relax their vigilance, they will suddenly attack and hold military exercises to show the strength of the army!

I believe it can have a good deterrent effect.

Of course, the military exercise cannot be started at the beginning, so that the "monkeys" who kill chickens and monkeys will be scared away.

"Very good, I am very pleased to be my father."

Gao Huan nodded, quite moved by Gao Yang's thoughts.

……

Zu Ting is nearly [-] years old and basically doesn't care about world affairs.Zu Hao is managing all the current affairs of the Zu family.Suddenly being promoted to the high-ranking position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, not to mention reaching the sky in one step, at least it is considered an extraordinary promotion.

Recently, Zu Hao has been trembling and not daring to slack off in the slightest.

On this day, he was invited by Liu Yishou to be a guest in Wu Wangfu. After the two had a cup of tea in the study and exchanged pleasantries with the recent developments in the Jiankang Center, Liu Yishou took out a thick booklet from the desk drawer. , and handed it to Zu Hao.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Zu Hao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Yishou wanted to do.

"Don't look at me, look at this."

Liu Yishou pointed to the booklet the other party was holding.

Zu Hao observed carefully, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.This booklet is full of weights and measures instructions, as well as simple pictures.

It contains the specific data of scales, rulers, five scales (steps), buckets, liters, and combined weights and measures.

"The Southern Dynasties have been inherited for more than a hundred years, just like patches on clothes, and there are patches on top of the patches. There are Song, Qi, and Liang dynasties. Many problems have always followed the Jin Dynasty (Eastern Jin Dynasty), and they are like stubborn diseases that linger.

The weights and measures on the market today are extremely chaotic, and even the width of two calf carts cannot be exactly the same, which is shocking.The time has come to reforge weights and measures.

Today I ask Mr. Zu to take a good look at these, and then manufacture a batch of standard weights and measures in the name of the Ministry of Industry. The imperial court will set up a new office called the Guanshi Division, which will be placed under the management of the Ministry of Households to supervise the approval of weights and measures and rewards and punishments.

Scales, rulers, five scales (steps), buckets, liters, and joints used by state and county government offices and private individuals must be regularly sent to the city management department for verification.

Agricultural tax rectification should not be drastic.If the big ones cannot be changed for the time being, first unify the small ones such as weights and measures, which is also to eliminate harm for the people.In order to avoid the endless story of big fights and small fights.

In the future, whoever will play small fights for this king, then don't blame this king for being ruthless. "

Liu Yishou said bitterly, obviously he was very familiar with the methods used by the aristocratic family to oppress the tenants, the most basic routine is to make small fights out of big fights.

When lending grain to the tenants, all the small dou is used. When you return the grain, hehe, I'm sorry, the big dou will serve you!This method is difficult for tenants to deal with when officials and gentry collude.

One of the majesties of the national center is to strictly control weights and measures, maintain national unity, and have officials regularly check the school, so that it will not become a rubber stamp.

Zu Hao's family has a long history, and he is not only proficient in mathematics, but also very familiar with engineering. When Zu Chongzhi was still there, his family had presided over many projects, and he also had a deep knowledge of mechanics and other subjects.

Liu Yishou asked Zu Hao to preside over the production of standard parts of weights and measures, which is indeed a good job.

"Please rest assured, King Wu, Zu will definitely do his best to do his best in such matters that benefit the country and the people."

Zu Hao bowed deeply to Liu Yishou, which was a respect from the heart.

People have a concept of right and wrong. Although sometimes they don't say it because of the suppression of power, the weather vane in their hearts often doesn't follow power.

Who is really doing things all day long, who is fishing all day long, and who is only thinking about fighting for power and profit all day long. The world may be deceived sometimes, but they will still see clearly after all.

After seeing off Zu Hao, Liu Yishou heaved a sigh of relief.

Zu Hao is a scientific researcher. Although he can do practical things, he is not very sensitive to political matters, and does not understand the difference between "the majesty of the royal family" and "the majesty of the country".

Liang Guo belongs to the Xiao family, but it also belongs to the people of the world.It is true that Liu Yishou rectified the law and brought order out of chaos, but his goal was not to establish the majesty of the Xiao family, but to recast the majesty of the country or political entity.

The laws and regulations have been smooth, production has developed, and the place has stabilized. These credits have nothing to do with Xiao's dime, but only with the people who hold the core power.

The core of power lies in the right to appoint personnel, the right to use wealth, and the right to make decisions about affairs.

Now these three powers are in the hands of Liu Yishou, so he is the beneficiary of the reform.The Xiao family is just a banner that is hung high, and this banner can be replaced at any time in the future.

Just as he was concentrating on his thoughts, Yuan Shikang hurried in and whispered in Liu Yishou's ear: "My lord, Princess Great Wall is about to give birth. It's just a few days away, maybe she's already born now."

"Go, hurry back to Shouyang."

Liu Yishou got up and left, and told Gao Ling that Shouyang had something urgent.

One day later, not long after arriving at the mansion, Mr. Liu, whose buttocks were still warm, saw the joyful Mrs. Wen walking out of the delivery room, cupped her hands and said to him, "Congratulations to the king of Wu for his daughter!"

It was another little padded jacket, Liu Yishou almost couldn't laugh out loud, probably this time Xiao Yujin was about to cry.

Sure enough, when the situation stabilized, Xiao Yuzhen leaned softly next to Liu Yishou's arm, sighed weakly and said: "Other women in the house have only one child in their lives, why do they only have daughters when they come to me?"

"It's great to have a daughter, she's as beautiful as you, I don't mind at all."

Liu Yishou touched Xiao Yuheng's face and said to comfort her.

"That's not what it said."

Xiao Yujing sighed, if Liu Yishou had not always doted on her, she really wanted to die now.

Forget it, after all, it was still his baby, only a little away from perfection.

Xiao Yuzheng said in his heart as if he was deceiving himself.

Chapter 538

Although Liu Yishou, who is in a high position, temporarily entrusts Chen Yuankang with all the affairs of Jiankang, and wants to spend time in Shouyang with Xiao Yujing who just gave birth to a daughter, but it is impossible for a top political animal like him Have real free time.Soon his peaceful life was interrupted and he fell into busyness again.

After staying with Xiao Yuzheng in Shouyang for two days, an earth-shattering news came from the south: Xiao Yuzheng's elder brother was dormant in Jiangzhou after being released by Liu Yishou. continued.Sudden death due to excessive drinking all day long!Only 35 years old!

And this one has no arrangements for the aftermath!

This news is really unexpected, but within reason.After a little inquiring about the inside story, Liu Yishou felt relieved.The so-called self-deprecation, one day's harvest, Xiao Xu's ending is not surprising at all, it is all done by himself.

Ever since Xiao Xu failed to raise troops and returned to Pencheng, Jiangzhou, he deeply felt that Liu Yishou had a strong army and his generals were brave and good at fighting, and he could not shake the righteousness of controlling the center of the court.

If the other party is serving the Son of Heaven to beg for disobedience, his chances of winning by raising troops again are almost zero. It is better to be in Jiangzhou, anyway, the court will not do anything to him for a while.

For vassals like them, they are definitely not aggressive enough, and they are more than enough to protect themselves for the time being.

In a word, Xiao Xu didn't have the confidence to fight for the throne after that battle, but he didn't want to hand over the half of Jiangzhou for nothing!

So he decided to let himself go, and started to completely lay down Xiao Xu, who spent all day drinking to drown his worries and ignore government affairs, thinking that every day is a day of energy, and indulged in a bottomless sensuality.

Accumulated over time, his bones were destroyed, his body was already hollowed out by wine and lust, and he was no longer the brave vassal king who was worthy of single-handedly fighting generals back then.

Although Xiao Xu's accidental death was self-deprecating, Liu Yishou was keenly aware that the great opportunity to cut down the feudal clan had arrived ahead of schedule.

The matter of the vassal king itself is not easy to handle, it is easy to make people think that he wants to usurp the throne, and it is easy to make the Xiao clan who are in charge of each other regroup again.

These will cause Liu Yishou to replace him in the future and bring unnecessary troubles.Now Xiao Xu's sudden death, for Liu Yishou, it can be said that he will be blamed if he does not take it.
