Han Dao world

If it succeeds, Zhang Zhao will be more confident in assisting him in governing in the future.

If it fails, Zhang Zhao can also learn a lesson and avoid detours in the future.

And after suffering setbacks, Zhang Zhao's temper may be milder.

All in all, for him, regardless of Zhang Zhao's success or failure, he is profitable.

Seeing the emperor's peaceful attitude, Zhang Zhao became more courageous and calmed down a bit. "I dare to say that although saving the land is effective, it is unjust to rob the people's wealth after all. Seeking justice with injustice, is it? It is to save the emergency, not to be kingly. If your majesty grants permission, I would like to live in the Bohai Sea Recall the order to save the land, promote education, make the people feel ashamed, and then save the land, equalize the rich and the poor. The master said: The way is governed by politics, and the people are punished, and the people are free from shame; It's shameful."

"What if Bohai is not as developed as Hejian in four years' time?"

"The minister also said just now that he would like to write a letter to plead guilty, and he will go back to seclusion from now on, and he will never talk about politics for the rest of his life."

"No." Liu Xie shook his hand. "This is a dispute over governance, and it should not become a matter of personal loyalty, let alone let the tens of thousands of people in Bohai become your personal guinea pigs."

Zhang Zhao's face changed slightly, and then he said: "There are tens of millions of people in the world, how can they be His Majesty's test subjects?"

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. "I'm not going to do it overnight. First in Hedong, then in Guanzhong, then in Liangzhou, and now in Jizhou. This is the result of gradual progress. Is there a precedent for Qing's virtuous government, Wu Hui?"

Zhang Zhao's face was embarrassed, red and then white.

He was trusted by Sun Ce and governed by Wu Hui, but Wu Hui neither became Sun Ce's stable rear nor had anything to do with Wang Dao.If Wu Huiren were allowed to speak freely, perhaps more people would scold him than praise him.

"Although you don't have any successful precedents to follow except for the Ziyue poems in the books, I can still agree to your request, but there must be some adjustments to prevent the people of Bohai from suffering unreasonable disasters."

Zhang Zhao's face flushed red.

According to the meaning of the emperor, what he wants to do is not a virtuous government, but a chaotic one.

He was about to refute when Liu Xie stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth a few steps.

"First of all, after you return to Bohai Sea, ask the people for their opinions to see how many people support you and how many people oppose you. Those who agree to stay, and those who oppose, I will issue an edict to move to a nearby county."

Zhang Zhao was taken aback. "Your Majesty, after the war, the number of household registrations was lost, which is not much. If a large number of household registrations are moved out, the Bohai Sea will be empty..."

"Do you also think that there are not many people who agree with you?"

"Uh..." Zhang Zhao was speechless, hesitant to speak.

"But you don't have to worry, I have my own solution." Liu Xie said with a soft smile: "The world is so big, there are many people who oppose Dutian, you can lure them to move to Bohai Sea."

Zhang Zhao smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, since you are someone who opposes Dutian, how can you leave your hometown and move to Bohai Sea?"

"They can't avoid saving land even if they stay in their hometown. They may be willing to move to Bohai and follow your virtuous government. As for whether Bohai will pay for the same land or allocate it in proportion, it's up to you to decide, and the imperial court will not interfere. The imperial court may even not interfere in Bohai The appointment of the magistrates of the counties is all appointed by the Qing. The imperial court has only one requirement for Bohai, to pay taxes according to the household registration and the area of ​​cultivated land, and not to prohibit the people from moving out."

A smile appeared on Liu Xie's face again. "After four years, how about seeing whether more people moved in or more people moved out?"

Zhang Zhao frowned, weighed it for a moment, and felt that this was a good idea.

There are many people who oppose Du Tian, ​​and they are all big and powerful households.As long as they can be compensated accordingly, there must be many people who are willing to come.Once the news is released, what he has to worry about is not insufficient household registration, but too many people who want to come, and there is not enough land in Bohai to resettle.

Therefore, as long as the large households from the surrounding Hejian, Qinghe, and Pingyuan counties moved in, they could make up for the household registrations of the people who moved out.

"I would like to give it a try."

"Don't worry." Liu Xie waved his hand again. "As I said just now, this is not an experiment for you alone, but an experiment between different ways of governance. You have to draw up a plan and submit it to Situ's Mansion for deliberation by the Minister, and then publish the news on the mansion newspaper to inform the world , so that everyone who wants to move to Bohai knows the news. Finally, after four years, the results of the experiment will also be announced in the residence newspaper."

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath.

According to the method of the emperor, this is indeed not his personal victory or defeat, but whether it is feasible or not to rule the country with virtue.

If he can win, even if the debate on morality and punishment that has been disputed for hundreds of years does not come to a conclusion, the idea of ​​morality will be more convincing, and it will no longer be empty talk on paper.It may not be impossible to extend it in the future.

"What if Bohai is slightly better than other counties in four years' time?"

"Then I will set up ten counties to try it out."

Zhang Zhao frowned slightly, blood welling up. "What if these ten counties can also be governed?"

"Then these ten counties can be governed. If I object again, wouldn't it be going against the sky?" Liu Xie laughed twice. "For Confucianism and moral government, you should work hard."

Zhang Zhao raised his hands above his head, gave a deep salute, and said loudly: "I am not talented, and I am willing to prove the way with this body."

Chapter 946

Zhang Zhao was so happy that he almost lost his composure.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce were a little confused.

I have heard for a long time that the Son of Heaven is open-minded and tolerant, so no matter whether the ministers agree with the Son of Heaven or not, they seldom turn against the Son of Heaven.As stubborn as Zhou Zhong, because he opposed the emperor's opinion, he had been idle at home for nearly two years, but was finally moved by the sincerity of the emperor and gladly took over as Sikong.

However, the emperor promised Zhang Zhao that he would give up the Tianling in Bohai, which still surprised them.

Sun Ce has been with Zhang Zhao for four or five years, and knows Zhang Zhao's temper best.If it weren't for what the emperor said, Zhang Zhao would not be so excited, and even uttered the oath of "proving the Tao with his own body".

In an instant, all the previous suspicions were turned into smoke.

The breadth of the emperor's mind is beyond their imagination.They don't have to worry about the previous hesitation. They just want to preserve their strength and get out of the control of the emperor for their own safety.

"Your Majesty's demeanor, I admire you the most." Liu Bei stood up and saluted.

Sun Ce also stood up, expressing similar feelings.

Liu Xie shook his hand, but felt a little helpless.

The reason why he gave Zhang Zhao this opportunity was not because of his generosity, but because of his helplessness.

Relying on the morale of the army brought by Du Tian, ​​he triumphantly marched on the battlefield, conquering cities and land.However, the resistance of aristocratic families and Confucian scholars became more and more obvious and fierce.Xun Yu's presence in person was an obvious signal.

A city can be surrounded without attacking, or it can be forcibly broken through, but people's hearts cannot be controlled in the same way.

If it is said that Danggu was a forced breakthrough, and in the end he made a lot of chicken feathers, then Hedong was just besieged but not attacked.Judging from the effects of the past few years, it is really far from ideal.Those big clans occupy the land and at the same time enjoy the dividends of heavy sericulture and access to the Western Regions, living a very nourishing life.

After much deliberation, it may be the best policy to encircle the Three Ques.

Don't you guys doubt the benefits of Du Tian?Then let you see Du Tian's true power.

It’s okay if you don’t want to save the fields. You all move to Bohai and develop according to the way you want.Don't try to take advantage of the dividends of the times.Let's see how far you can develop, how long you can persist, and finally whether you can stick to your principles in the face of disparate interests.

Even if Zhang Zhao succeeds for a while and expands the pilot counties to ten, he doesn't have to worry.

Dahan has more than 100 counties and states, and taking out ten of them as a pilot will not affect the overall situation.

On the contrary, giving these diehards a chance to verify, preventing them from taking reckless risks, and alleviating the possibility of intensifying conflicts will do more good than harm.

Only by comparing can they be identified. At that time, their failure will further prove the significance of Dutian.

At this point, Liu Xie has enough confidence.

The history of 2000 has repeatedly proved this rule.

"Government should be lenient, and military administration should be specialized." Liu coordinates his emotions and smiles again. "The Han Dynasty has a vast territory and different customs and customs. It is not comparable to the three generations of Fangguo. It should be adapted to local conditions and different from time to time. It cannot be generalized. Under the condition of the same goal, different voices should be allowed to exist. Zhang Qing, what do you think? ?”

Zhang Zhao was in the right mood, and he didn't care about the emperor's nuances, so he nodded in agreement.

Liu Xie changed the topic. "Administering the army is not the case. When the army is discussing, it is true that you can speak freely and express your own opinions. When implementing it, you must be united as one, order and prohibit, and you cannot order multiple sects. Otherwise, it will be difficult to win even with a million troops. Do you think so? "

Liu Bei and Sun Ce glanced at each other and said in unison, "Your Majesty's words are true."

Liu Xie glanced at Zhang Zhao again. "What do you think Zhang Qing wants?"

Zhang Zhao was silent for a moment, then bowed and said, "The master said: There is a way in the world, and the ritual and music conquests come from the emperor. The important affairs of the country are only sacrifices and soldiers. Who can do it without the emperor?"

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction.

With your words, the pilot project in Bohai is half worth it.

-

When Zhang Zhao left the account, he left Sun Ce and went directly to Xun Yu.

The Son of Heaven agreed to dismiss Du Tian Ling in Bohai, but it does not mean that this matter will be done.According to the current system of the imperial court, he has to propose a trial plan and submit it to the Situ Mansion for approval, and it is likely to go through a process such as the imperial court.

He has never had any contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he speaks lightly. It is not yet known whether he can pass.If you can get the support of Xun Yu, the success rate will be much higher.

After the two were courteous, Zhang Zhao straight to the point explained the purpose of his visit.

He wanted to ask Xun Yu to cooperate with him to draw up a plan and persuade the three princes and nine ministers.

Xun Yu was surprised when he heard this, and then his brows became happy again.

Jizhou was pacified, the war in Liaodong was handed over to Xun You, and the war in Yizhou was handed over to Shi Sunrui. The focus of the emperor will inevitably turn to the government. How to carry out the land of Yanyu Qingxu has become a problem before him. .

What he is most worried about is that the emperor will forcefully spend the fields in the Central Plains in accordance with the Jizhou regulations under the prestige of victory.

He has no objection to saving fields, but forcibly saving fields is likely to cause bloodshed and even rebellion, so he can't help but pay attention.

Now that the emperor intends to let Zhang Zhao try it out in Bohai Sea, it is tantamount to opening a gap and expressing enough sincerity and patience.

If Zhang Zhao can succeed, not only can fierce conflicts be avoided, but it can also prove that saving land is not the only way to be kingly.

Xun Yu immediately expressed his willingness to support Zhang Zhao in completing the plan, and persuaded the court ministers.

The two hit it off and hated seeing each other late.

Xun Yu then reminded Zhang Zhao that you should contact Yu Fan and ask for his opinion.

Yu Fan is a rare genius who has won the trust of the emperor.Now presiding over the martial arts hall is also quite influential among the ministers and ministers.If we can get his support, the court meeting will go much smoother in the future.

Zhang Zhao heard this, but was a little embarrassed.

Although he once served Sun Ce with Yu Fan, they didn't get along very harmoniously and often disagreed.This time Yu Fan went to the Bohai Sea to assist Sun Ce in the military, and the two had little communication.Yu Fan didn't quite agree with the Dutian he promoted in Bohai either.

If you want to seek Yu Fan's help, I'm afraid you're just looking for a fish from a tree.

Seeing this, Xun Yu decided to come forward in person and talk to Yu Fan.

While waiting for the short break before the banquet, Xun Yu and Xun You chatted about this matter.

After listening to Xun You, he said to Xun Yu, "Uncle, there is no need to discuss it with Yu Fan, he won't support it."

"Why?"

"Because this is a doomed situation, and there is no possibility of success at all." Xun You whispered, "Uncle really thinks that the Zhou system can be revived, and ritual and music can lead to kingly ways?"

Xun Yu looked at Xun You in surprise. "Gongda, do you actually think so? Are you still a Confucian disciple?"

Xun You asked, "Which Confucian school is uncle talking about? The Confucian school of Master, the Confucian school of Mencius, or the Confucian school of my ancestor Xunzi?"

Xun Yu was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know where to start to answer.

Xun You sighed. "Uncle, the Confucian school has been fighting for hundreds of years. There are different opinions on modern Chinese and ancient Chinese, the teaching method, and the family law. There is no final conclusion on the specifics of virtue and government. It is not easy to realize the kingly way within four years? With all due respect, if it is true A large number of aristocratic families have moved into Bohai, and Bohai is a specific and subtle Tokyo. The rich wine smells bad, and the roads are full of hunger. The officials are abusive, but the government orders are not good. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is in power, and there will be no such thing as Dong Zhuo entering Beijing. You need to worry , just pirates."

Chapter 947

Xun Yu was helpless, but had to admit that what Xun You said made some sense.

If you really want to gather a group of aristocratic families together, how to raise enough money and food to support soldiers must be a big problem.

The aristocratic family tends to support the trilogy by itself, and is unwilling to hand over military power to the prefect—unless the prefect doesn't care about things and just sits and screams.

Will Zhang Zhao not care about anything?

Regardless of the matter, how to promote benevolent governance and revitalize the kingly way?

This seems to be a paradox.

Even so, Xun You's words reminded Xun Yu of relocating some Ruying people to Bohai Sea.

Zhang Zhao is upright and upright, and has taken on the important task of proving morality.Under this ambitious goal, he may go to extremes.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu's heart suddenly tightened.

The Son of Heaven entrusted this task to Zhang Zhao instead of him. Could it be that he took a fancy to Zhang Zhao?

The more Xun Yu thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but he didn't dare to say more.

Chang'an, Situ's Mansion.

Sikong Zhouzhong slowly walked into the atrium, came to Yang Biao, and smiled before saying anything. "Wen Xian, why are you in such a hurry?"

Yang Biao ignored him and told Mi Heng a few words.

Mi Heng nodded and got up to say goodbye.When walking in front of Zhou Zhong, he nodded his head.Before Zhou Zhong could respond, he left in a hurry.

"This scorpion!" Zhou Zhong was speechless, but he didn't take it to heart, so he sat down on the mat where Mi Heng was sitting just now, and poured himself a glass of water.

He is used to Mi Heng's arrogance, and he is too lazy to argue with Mi Heng.

Anyway, Mi Heng's bad temper was not aimed at him alone.

Yang Biao crossed his fingers and held it in front of his abdomen. Before he could speak, he sighed first.
