The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 105 One Year Later
Time flies, one year is over soon, the whole Dahan has entered a rapid development, with the popularity of the chamber of commerce, the economic circulation of the whole Dahan is getting faster and faster, Liu Hong also canceled the small five baht coin, and chose to use it during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Five baht to stabilize the economy.

The five baht coin uses a 24-base system. Although it is not convenient enough, it is the most suitable currency system for big men at this time. Everything must be done slowly. Although there are certain problems with the five baht coin now, the big man can only You can choose five baht money.

There is no way around this. Liu Hong returned all the coinage rights to the central government to give himself a certain amount of economic strength, and economic strength determines the superstructure.Under the leadership of Liu Hong, Dahan also began to get rid of the economic chaos of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, and everything was progressing in a good direction.

Under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce, prices throughout Dahan began to stabilize, without any large-scale increases, and basically remained stable.The entire court began to replace incompetent and corrupt officials on a large scale.Although there are currently more officials from aristocratic families, Liu Hong basically has one-fifth of his officials obeying his orders.

The new army has also undergone a year of training, and its combat power is excellent. It even has the appearance of an elite army, and its combat power surpasses that of the entire big man.The sheriff sent by Liu Hong also had good reviews.

The severe drought that occurred last year has also ended, and Dahan has basically restored the entire normal food supply.

It's just that in terms of land recycling, Liu Hong did not meet the initial requirements. As a farming country, land is a unique feeling.Once a person has money, he will choose to buy land to give a family property to future generations. Generally speaking, the money will be spent.But as long as there is land, it means that your descendants can live well with these lands.

This is the characteristic of an agricultural country.The land is always crucial, and only when people look away from the land can change be possible.

There is basically no change in the court situation. They are all going their own way, and all departments are closely cooperating. If the most important event this year should be the death of Hu Guang.

Hu Guang was Chen Fan's teacher. As a proper veteran of the three dynasties, the whole world grieved at his death, at least on the surface.

Chen Fan is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a cabinet minister. His teacher passed away and he must show some face. Therefore, Hu Guang's funeral was very beautiful. Basically all the ministers came to show face.

However, after the funeral was over, the empire began to operate again. The big man would not stop operating because of anyone, and it was impossible for the emperor to die. In the end, there must be someone to replace the dead person, so as to operate normally.

Because Hu Guang and Wang Chang were actually sick, Liu Hong only gave a vain post to a bachelor during the major reform, so their deaths did not have much impact on the political situation.So the whole empire remains stable.

It was only because of Liu Hong's support that Wei Zhongxian began to enter the cabinet and became one of the cabinet ministers, and his identity was the Zhongchang servant and the head of the internal servant's guard. This position held more power than Zongzheng Liu Chong.

Liu Chong is one of the cabinet ministers, so there is actually no problem for Wei Zhongxian to serve as cabinet minister.It's just that although they are all cabinet ministers, their positions are different. For example, the position of the cabinet minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the best, and then the cabinet minister of Yushitai, such as the cabinet minister of Zongzhengji, and the cabinet minister of the chamberlain. Their status is relatively different. Low, no right to speak at all.

The power in his hands is here, and Liu Hong doesn't want the royal family and the eunuch faction to be too ugly. He arranges a cabinet minister and has an explanation for himself.
What's more, Liu Hong can better balance the cabinet by adding a few of his own among the nine cabinet ministers.If they are all members of the aristocratic family, even though there are people from Liu Hong in the faction of the aristocratic family, if the other party is really against him, Liu Hong will also have certain problems.will be in a disadvantageous position.

Of course, Liu Hong and the royal family were at the stage of easing the relationship. Liu Hong used Liu Xiu, Liu Che, and Liu Bowen to get them involved in more important matters, and began to express his attitude. As long as you have talent, Liu Hong can use it.This is also to further win over the royal family.

When wooing the royal family, Liu Hong began to lose the influence of the older generation of the royal family. What he wanted was a young royal family, not a group of so-called elders who taught you, who had no talent, only knew how to rely on the old.Liu Hong is trying to rejuvenate the royal family, so that Liu Hong's interests can be better protected.

Also because of this reason, Liu Hong began to further promote the powerful and young people among the royal family, but Liu Hong found that he had failed. Except for the few people from the royal Beijing that Liu Hong summoned, Liu Hong couldn't find better ones at all. In the end, I can only try my best to promote, if it is not possible, I can't blame Liu Hong.He also doesn't want the royal family to be too powerful.

Now that the relationship between the royal family and Liu Hong has warmed up, the eunuch faction began to abandon some incompetent officials with Liu Hong's acquiescence. Of course, in return, Liu Hong promoted several officials who had been frozen by the eunuch faction.

Let Wei Zhongxian enter the cabinet so that he can participate in major national affairs, so that the eunuch faction basically acquiesced in their own losses.Start supporting Liu Hong.

There are currently 187 official members of the chamber of commerce, basically all the top families of the entire Dahan are involved, and Liu Hong can be regarded as winning them over.With their help, Liu Hong's chamber of commerce exists throughout Dahan, as long as there are people, there is this chamber of commerce. Of course, the control of this chamber of commerce is still in Liu Hong's hands.

He is a double-edged sword. If used well, he can increase the court's income. After all, in addition to the expenses of the new army, the entire court's income has more than doubled. It is easier to do things with money.The court was not short of money, and many projects that benefited the people began to be implemented, because there was a censorship station, and basically the officials in the court were officials with aristocratic family backgrounds except those from poor families promoted by Liu Hong.

So no one dares to embezzle, otherwise, one person's corruption will affect a whole family, and Liu Hong will directly kick him out of the chamber of commerce, not to mention that the chamber of commerce earns more money than those who are corrupt, so the cleanliness of the entire bureaucracy is good now a lot.

It's just that the whole big man has been in good weather for a year, and the derivative system has no response. Liu Hong feels a little weird. He always feels that something is going to happen. Liu Hong feels that some moths will appear in the derivative system.

However, the big man now has certain economic strength and military strength. Liu Hong is not afraid of the troubles from the derivative system, and of course he doesn't expect them either. Who would want troubles?
