Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Outside the hall, the generals gathered in twos and threes, Xu Feng leaned carelessly on the white marble railing, bragging for a while, which immediately attracted the generals to agree with him, laughing continuously.

"Why are you laughing so happily?"

At some point, Li Xiu appeared suddenly, and his sudden words made everyone's hearts tremble. Even Xu Feng, who was originally the happiest, didn't dare to say more.

"See Your Majesty!"

All the generals bowed and cupped their hands, shouting together.

"No need to be polite."

The emperor waved his hand, looked around at the generals, and finally glanced at Xu Feng who was dodging his eyes.

Of course he knew what this bastard was showing off. Shenyang City was broken, and the first thing this bastard did was to send troops to surround the Houjin Palace, and to put into practice the awesomeness he once boasted in front of Dorgon!

But at any rate, this guy still knows about reporting requests, so Li Xiu didn't bother to ask.

"The rewards and pensions have been implemented. Except for the North Korean garrison, the Beijing Imperial Army, and the reorganized guards, the rest of the ministries will gradually withdraw to their original stations according to the previous plan."

"Do not disturb the people along the way, and those who violate the order shall be dealt with strictly!"

Li Xiu didn't let the generals enter the hall to discuss, and arranged in an orderly manner outside the hall.

Now, nearly two months have passed since Shenyang was captured, and the recalcitrants from all over Liaodong have either been wiped out, or have fled to the wild, or have long been lurking.

Although it is still necessary to maintain heavy troops in Liaodong, there is really no need to maintain hundreds of thousands of heavy troops.

If it's just some remnants of the enemy, tens of thousands of troops, plus he personally sitting here, is enough.

What's more, the in-depth statistics this time have clearly shown that this land of white mountains and black waters has too few people. Although the small population has great disadvantages, at least it is undoubtedly much easier to establish an effective ruling order.

Today, the population distribution of Liaodong is almost all centered on various big cities.

In this way, the ruling order of Liaodong that is slowly taking shape today is naturally only centered on various cities in Liaodong to rebuild the order of prefectures and counties.

As for the imperial power going to the countryside, Li Xiu naturally thought about it, but it was too difficult to realize it.

For the imperial power to go to the countryside, it means that the number of officials must be expanded at the county level. Nowadays, a county magistrate comes in by air to manage a county, which is obviously difficult to meet the implementation of the imperial power to the countryside.

In order for the imperial power to go to the countryside, it is necessary to break the thousands-year-old model of the county magistrate and the local wealthy family ruling the same area.

To break this pattern, the number of officials at all levels must be expanded, especially at the county level!

In the past, it was not feasible to rely on a county magistrate to rule a place.

It is naturally impossible to rely on local subordinates.

Since ancient times, there have been iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers.

In the same way, since ancient times, the ruling mode of dynasties has mostly been iron-clad subordinates and flowing county magistrates.

The county magistrate has been around for several years, but the subordinate officials have always stayed in the county and passed down from generation to generation. When any county magistrate takes office, he must rely on the local subordinate officials and noble gentry to govern the county.

The most fundamental reason for the formation of such a ruling form is that the subordinate staff are officials, and they are not part of the ruling organization of the imperial court!

In the ruling sequence of the imperial court, there are no officials at the official level, and the imperial court will not pay salaries to officials.

The subordinate staff are just temporary workers, but this temporary worker, because of the needs of the ruling, has become a normal state outside the ruling sequence!

In order to get rid of this phenomenon and let the imperial power go to the countryside, first of all, the county magistrate must not rely on the subordinate staff, but let the subordinate staff become a member of the ruling class and become a floating official!

In this way, the county magistrate's model of relying on subordinate officials will naturally be broken, and they are all mobile officials!

Then increase the number of grassroots officials, so that the imperial power going to the countryside will naturally become a reality.

But to put it simply, it is undoubtedly difficult to achieve success in this matter!

It has long been the consensus of the world that subordinate officials are lowly, and if it is said that dignified scholars are allowed to become subordinate officials, the world is guaranteed to boil instantly!

He, the Son of Heaven, guaranteed to offend the scholars of the whole world in an instant!

It is extremely difficult to change the hearts of the people for a hundred years, not to mention the inertia of the hearts of thousands of years, and it still involves the hearts of the whole world.

What's more, there are also the interests of the world's gentry who are invaded by the imperial power going to the countryside, and there are also the financial and material resources needed after the imperial power goes to the countryside and the number of officials skyrockets.

It is absolutely impossible for the imperial power to go to the countryside, at least for now, even as the emperor, he can't even reveal his thoughts, otherwise, any reforms will be vain!

Daheng's national fortune, which has just stabilized, may soon become unstable again.

Although it is a reform now, although it is rebuilding the ruling order, in a sense, just like the military reform at the time, there are many places that have to be compromised due to the current situation.

"compromise!"

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help shaking his head. He never compromised in war, and he has compromised countless times in internal affairs. It had already been secretly poked and worn on his head by people all over the world.

The only fortunate thing is that at present, he does not completely rely on the scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world. His foundation is still the martial arts nobles. In this way, he still has some leeway for him to operate on the ruling class formed by the scholar-bureaucrats.

Until the ruling class composed of literati and bureaucrats is transformed into what he wants, he will let the world gradually transition from martial arts to literary. Otherwise, he will not hesitate to support the continued expansion of the power of martial arts, and even Completely overwhelm the world, thus supporting him to thoroughly cleanse and transform the entire world.

Then, he himself will suppress martial arts and balance civil and military affairs, but in this case, everything will not develop in a healthy way. Everything needs him, the emperor, to suppress and guide with his own authority.

Obviously, this is not a good thing for a country.

"Okay, let's all go back."

Li Xiu waved his hand, signaling the generals to back down, stepped forward, and then walked towards the palace.

The Houjin Palace of this era has not been repaired by several generations of Manchu emperors. It is undoubtedly extremely simple. Even, perhaps, the houses of many wealthy merchants and gentry in the Central Plains are probably no better than this in other respects except for the majesty of power. How inferior is the Houjin Palace.

The emperor strolled, Wang Wu and a group of eunuchs and maids also followed suit, walking respectfully behind the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent someone to send a letter asking when will you return to Beijing triumphantly?"

After hesitating for a while, Wang Wu made a sound slowly.

"In a month or two."

The emperor waved his hand and said casually.

Although Liaodong is about to figure it out, this triumphant return to Beijing is different from the past.

This time back to Beijing, there will be big changes!

Use Liaodong as a template to reform the world!

It involves tens of millions of people, and involves the entire northern provinces. The things involved, the people involved, and the interests involved are not as simple as Liaodong.

What's more, after the rebellion of King Shou, the government was empty. Even if reforms were to be made, the ruling institutions needed to be cleared up first.

Daheng has been established, he has become the emperor, and if he wants to set up various strange systems to gather power like before, the hidden danger will be great.

"Imperial examination!"

As thoughts flowed, these two words suddenly appeared in Li Xiu's mind.

Daheng was established for the first time, and the foreign enemies were repelled and wiped out, and the fate of the country was solidified.

It seems that it is also time to start the first imperial examination of the new dynasty, to benevolent to the world, and to attract scholars from all over the world, and at the same time, it can also add a little vitality to this corrupt ruling system.

Thoughts flickered in my mind one by one, and finally all of them were hidden deep in my mind,

The figure of the Son of Heaven, also surrounded by eunuchs and maids, walked aimlessly in this empty Houjin Palace...

Chapter 454 It's Suicide

"The land is state-owned, and any form of land sales is prohibited..."

"The common people come from the land, and report to the yamen according to the truth, and the tax should be levied according to the acre of the field..."

"Every five years to count the world's land..."

Wenyuan Pavilion, Lai Zongdao took the reform strategy sent by Liaodong, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He suddenly found that his previous strategy of avoiding reform was really out of play!

Under his deliberate avoidance, such a terrifying reform strategy was actually brought out!

Not to mention the hidden dangers brought about by such an outrageous one-size-fits-all policy, but this policy is aimed at the whole world!

Throughout the world, where is the wealthy family not looking for countless land!

Such a land reform policy,

It is tantamount to digging the roots of the gentry and landlords in the world!

It's the fate of the country that has finally stabilized after breaking Daheng!

It is to let Daheng once again cut himself off from the world!

"This is such an important matter, why don't you discuss it with me!"

Lai Zongdao raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at Liu Qiyuan, his voice trembling a little.

"In all dynasties and dynasties, which one of the founding emperors is not ambitious, can you and I stop it?"

"Besides, if this reform is successful, it will be a great thing for the country and the people!"

Lai Zongdao was angry: "Then do you know who the emperor relies on to rule the world?"

"The Son of Heaven rules the world by relying on the gentry and land of the world!"

"Even if we want to crack down on land mergers and redistribute land, we can only do it gradually, and we must not be so one-size-fits-all!"

"Cutting people's wealth is like killing their parents. This kind of reform policy is not only cutting people's wealth, it is digging people's roots!"

"When the news of Liaodong's reform comes out, the world will inevitably be in chaos!"

Liu Qiyuan shook his head: "The former emperor ruled the world by the gentry!"

"But our emperor, no!"

"Our emperor has never relied on us, nor the gentry and landlords of the world, but the martial arts forged by him!"

Lai Zongdao asked: "Do they have no land? Don't they need it?"

Liu Qiyuan handed a booklet on the table to Lai Zongdao's face, and then he said as if he was repeating the book:

"The Yasukuni mansion has 220 acres of land under it, the Liao mansion has 110 acres of land under it, and the Wei mansion

, with 320 mu of land..."

"Changninghou Mansion, 23 mu of land, Zhenluhou Mansion, [-] mu of land..."

Hearing this, Lai Zongdao immediately took over the brochure and took a look. Immediately, his brows were full of disbelief. After a while, Lai Zongdao murmured: "How is that possible?"

"Your Majesty has hinted many times, even made it clear, that all generals in the army are trained by His Majesty himself, how dare you disobey them!"

"Didn't you realize that the nobles who are now idle in the capital are not just as simple as losing battles and making mistakes, most of them immediately annexed the land when they got the power, and then were directly dismissed by His Majesty. Throw it in the capital for retirement."

"With such a lesson from the past, do you think there are any generals in the army who would dare to disobey the will of the emperor?"

"Besides, although the Son of Heaven does not allow generals to own too much land, there are many compensations from other aspects."

"The military's salary is so high that it is unique throughout history. Moreover, during festivals, His Majesty's House of Internal Affairs will reward generals with large sums of gold and silver."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has rewarded a lot of profiteering commercial firms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if they haven't received rewards, they still get a lot of dividends every year..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qiyuan was silent for a while, and finally sighed:

"Your Majesty has been preparing for this for a long, long time!"

"What do you think, now that the foreign enemies are pacified and the army is not chaotic, who can shake the fortune of Daheng?"

"Those landlords and gentlemen?"

"No matter how powerful they are, can they beat Mongolia and Houjin cavalry?"

"Besides, Jiangnan, where the problem is the most serious, is now mostly Nanming and Daheng's plate, and only the northern provinces."

"In the north, the provinces have suffered from wars for a long time. In many places, the order has been completely destroyed by the chaos, and then it is firmly controlled by His Majesty."

"As for the rest, His Majesty may still expect them to rebel!"

"Except for the Imperial Army and the Beijing Army, the rest of the ministries have already returned to various places one after another. I am afraid it is for this purpose."

"It is much easier to carry out policies from top to bottom by copying the family and destroying the family and making great achievements!"

"Besides, didn't you realize that from the early years of Chongzhen until now, His Majesty's money for raising soldiers has all come from family raids and extermination!"

Lai Zongdao was a little speechless, and just wanted to refute that the emperor had to rely on civil officials to govern the country, and most of the officials from all over the country, even the court officials, had countless acres of land at home, but soon, the civil department of the Wuyuan came to his mind.

The Minke, which was once forced to be established by their civil servants, has now become the second way besides the imperial examination.

As far as he knew, after the great victory in the Xuanfu, the Civil Affairs Department of the Martial Arts Academy was ordered by the emperor to expand its enrollment again. This time, among the hundreds of students, those with fame and fame accounted for the vast majority!

In this world, toads with three legs are hard to find, but people with two legs who want to be officials can be found everywhere!

The emperor really doesn't have to rely on them. There are many places in the northern provinces that are already beyond the reach of their civil officials.

As long as the army is still firmly in the hands of the emperor, everything in this world can be overthrown and restarted!
