Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 979

Chapter 979

“At that time, this dynasty will be like Emperor Shizu Zhongxing, there will be many important things to be busy, Kong Ming will definitely work harder then, but this is also a good opportunity for the history of history, Kong Ming must grasp it.”

There are two main stages that can stay in the history, one is troubled times and the other is governance. Such as the struggle between the Chu and Han, the struggle for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms belong to the troubled times, while the founding and Zhongxing of the previous dynasties belong to the rule of the world. Along with the chaos and the rule of the world, a large number of capable ministers will naturally follow through the annals of history.

Zhuge Liang said excitedly: “The general can rest assured that Liang must be exhausted and utterly exhausted!”

“Kong Ming doesn’t have to work too much. If his life is alive, big things can be expected. If it is overworked, how can he do big things?”

Zhuge Liang was regarded as a model worker representative of the Three Kingdoms period. It was probably because Ma Di guarding the street pavilion was unbearable. From then on, Zhuge Liang was highly vigilant and could not believe others in everything. He had to do everything himself. Later, his death to Wuzhangyuan was not unreasonable and overworked. Naturally, he died early, and Liu Ye didn’t want Zhuge Liang to die too early.

Ma Jun couldn’t put it down after he got the profit and loss Liannu. After Liu Ye’s words were shared, there were many ideas in his mind, almost without thinking about it, and tirelessly launched the tireless research and development of the profit and loss Liannu. It took more than two months to complete the improvement of Zhuge Lianbow. The crossbow machine has been improved to a detachable type. Each crossbow machine has ten crossbow arrows, which will be disassembled and replaced immediately after firing. The new ones continue to be launched, so that they don’t have to be reloaded with much effort, which greatly improves the launch efficiency of the P&L.

Ma Jun immediately reported to Liu Ye with delight, and Liu Ye immediately gave Ma Jun a salary and ordered the mass production of Liannu for profit and loss. Because the crossbow arrows of the profit and loss continuous crossbow are also specially made and cannot be confused with different bows and arrows, all the blacksmiths in the army and even some civilian blacksmiths were temporarily recruited by the court to make Zhuge continuous crossbows and crossbow arrows.

The manufacture of Mu Niu Liuma and Zhuge Liannu is in full swing, and Liu Ye ordered the liquidation system. The unwinding system prevailed in the Tang and Song dynasties hundreds of years later. Because of the relationship between productivity, farmers depended on the weather for their food, and whether the weather was dry or humid determined the grain harvest that year. A bad one might not be able to eat.

But sometimes the year is very good, and farmers get a bumper harvest. It is reasonable to say that they can sell their grains and buy more land. However, some things are not so simple. It is said that demand affects prices. When there is more food, demand will naturally decrease, and prices will drop. This is the so-called low grain price hurts farmers and cannot be sold.

The so-called unwinding system refers to the establishment of government granaries. When farmers get a good harvest, they will buy grain and grass from farmers at a higher price and store them for use. In case of waiting for a disaster year, farmers really can’t get past this hurdle, and then sell them to farmers at a lower price, so that the disaster can be alleviated, which is a system of ancient society.

The reason why Liu Ye created this system was not only to establish a long-term system and stable rule to benefit farmers, but also to collect a large amount of grain and grass for military use. Because the army is about to be used against Cao Cao, the soldiers and horses across the country will be mobilized, and the food and grass that needs to be eaten in a day will be calculated at tens of thousands of stones, which is simply an astronomical figure.

It’s definitely not enough to use only the grain and grass stored by the government. In fact, when the grain and grass in the past dynasties were insufficient, they had to be collected from the people. It is said to be collected. In fact, it is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. The three officials of the poet Du Fu must have read it. The chaos during the Anshi Rebellion is naturally understood.

And Liu Ye is to prevent the slightest failure and prevent trouble before it happens. Instead of waiting for the war to start to grab food from the peasants, why not buy a lot at the beginning and win a good reputation?

After the implementation of the liquidation system, the results were minimal. After all, the people did not understand the government’s policies, so they did not dare to invest in it easily. However, under Liu Ye’s suggestion, many aristocratic families in various prefectures and counties soon rushed to buy food. Selling to the warehouse, and seeing the family and the big clans have done this, these people who don’t have any opinions naturally followed suit, so a large part of the grain was received in the warehouse.

However, it was not until the end of summer and early autumn that the liquidation really ushered in a big explosion. This year is a good year. Coupled with Liu Ye’s policy of 15 taxes and 1 tax, farmers have left enough food for the whole family. Selling the grain to the unwinding warehouse, I got tens of millions of stone, grain, and grass, which is really enough for soldiers.

In addition to the implementation of the liquidation system, Liu Ye also ordered the establishment of Xunxu in all parts of the country. The so-called Xuan is the name of the Zhou Dynasty school, and the Xu is the name of the Shang Dynasty school. Therefore, later generations will use the Xunxu to refer to the school. In “Three Kingdoms”, Hou Xu has been mentioned many times.

In any era, the most important productivity is talent. Even science and technology are essentially driven by human beings’ continuous learning and research. Education is the most important way of cultivating talents. Liu Ye did not ask for the establishment of higher education institutions in various places. Instead, he established elementary schools and hired teachers in various places. Their tasks were not multiple, mainly teaching books such as the Analects of Confucius, etc. It is to make children literate.

At this stage, with the national power of the Han Dynasty, it is very difficult to build schools vigorously. Liu Ye plans to solve the problem of illiteracy in most of the 13 states within ten years, and promote compulsory education within twenty years. As long as the culture becomes prosperous, one A great country will be born.

Revolution is bottom-up, although effective, it is extremely destructive; while reform is top-down, progress is slower, but not so destructive.

However, the introduction of these policies by Liu Ye inevitably met with resistance from the gentry from all over the world. The first point is the liquidation system. Many families have built docks to protect farmers. These farmers have become the country’s invisible household registration. They do not pay taxes to the court and are not recorded.

Now that the liquidation system has been introduced, the interests of farmers have been protected. Many farmers under the aegis of aristocratic families are ready to move and want to leave.

If the effect of the liquidation system on the noble family is still small, then the second point is that it has had a huge impact on the noble family!

Why can these aristocratic families be passed on from generation to generation for dozens of generations, and will not decline for thousands of years? The root cause is that they monopolized the culture, so the rise and fall of all dynasties, they can join the world to assist the emperor and make contributions.
