Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 457: Another way of the year

Another way in the year 4571644

3 silver dollars and 360 pennies are the only available funds for Wei Dongsheng, and every penny is useful for one penny, and even newspapers dare not buy one more copy. Previously, even in the poorest sixth generation, Wei Dongsheng could sit still and have a net profit of more than one hundred silver dollars per year for the small Weijia firm. If he wanted to repeat his studies, he would repeat his studies. How can he worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation like he does now? If you don't pay attention, Wei Dongsheng will be hungry.

The poorer, the less free.

If a lot of time is wasted on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and after work, I feel so tired that I want to collapse on the bed. How can I still have the energy to study further?

Of course, this can't be troublesome for Wei Dongsheng.

Wei Dongsheng VI has accumulated countless experiences through his experience, as if the founding emperor had traveled to a new troubled time, as if he had made a self-made rich and rejuvenated. Even if the protagonist does not know the golden finger of the future trend, they can easily solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

However, Wei Dongsheng's goal is not princes, generals, or billionaires.

Tenth reincarnation is a lesson.

The "tenth" of the tenth reincarnation divides the Wei Xia Empire into ten major classes according to social status; the "experience" of each reincarnation experience just hopes that Wei Dongsheng can personally experience the world in the eyes of the ten major classes. The same Weixia Empire, how did the emperor view it, how did the princes view it, how did the cabinet ministers view it, how did local officials view it, how did the industry elite view it, how did the successful people view it, how did the middle class view it, different There must be different perceptions of the instrument. Only by knowing the thoughts of the ten major classes can Wei Dongsheng see the true face of the Wei Xia Empire.

Perhaps this is the essence of tenth rebirth.

That being the case, you might as well take a moment to understand the living environment of the seventh life.

Eighteen years ago, Wei Dongsheng passed away at Weihe College of Lu Fan’s Qingdao House; 18 years later, Wei Dongsheng descended in a residential area not far from Weihe College of Lu Fan’s Qingdao House.

Speaking of the current situation of Wei He College, we must briefly summarize the changes in the Lu Fan system in recent years.

In 1631, Wei Shunhui succeeded Lu Fan, and the cabinet forced him to sign a peace treaty with Wu Fan. Wei Shunhui gave in at that time, but regarded the matter as a great shame. When the throne was slightly stabilized, he began to fight the cabinet, and the contradiction between the royal power and the cabinet became more intense.

During the Luyu Republic, Fan Bike promoted the "Examination and Success Law", requiring officials at all levels to "have a full-time job and complete the set limits; supervise at all levels and take their own responsibilities." When Wei Shunhui’s father, Wei Daogan, was restored, the cabinet’s authority was relatively strong. Wei Fan then continued the "Examination for Success Law", where the Ministry supervised the localities, the six provinces supervised the ministries, the cabinet supervised the six provinces, and transferred most of the power of the royal family to the cabinet.

Wei Shunhui hated this political reform the most, and repeatedly wanted to break through the restrictions of the "Examination Success Law" and appoint foreign relatives and ministers to supervise the six provincial ministries.

The cabinet naturally won't let Wei Shunhui succeed, and has repeatedly vetoed Wei Shunhui's appointment.

Stalemate until 1635, Wei Shun would simply tear his skin apart, not in the suburbs, in the temples, in the morning, or in the courts, or in the comments.

The cabinet system originated from Wei Dongsheng's creation. After more than 300 years of inheritance, it has become more and more mature. The cabinet's practice of cabinet ministers needs to be recognized by the royal power (imperial power) and the cabinet. If a minister is elected by the group and approved by the vassal, he can enter the cabinet; if the vassal wants to support a minister, the majority of the cabinet will be elected before he can formally enter the cabinet. Almost every minister is born from royal power. Compromise with the cabinet. Wei Shun would hate the cabinet regent, saying that if the cabinet refuses to allow his designated officials to join the cabinet, he will never approve the officials elected by the group to join the cabinet again.

The cabinet suddenly lost fresh blood to replenish.

Initially, this matter had less impact. But over time, when the elderly cabinet ministers died of illness but were unable to replenish the cabinet in time, the cabinet gradually realized that a crisis was coming. If all the existing cabinet ministers die of old age, how can the cabinet operate? Even if all cabinet ministers died of illness, the bureaucracy began to fall into a quagmire when the cabinet ministers were absent for four or five people.

Will the cabinet succumb?

The answer is never.

Coinciding with the climate of Little Glacier, natural disasters and man-made disasters immediately became a weapon of struggle between the royal power and the cabinet.

Beginning in 1638, Fan Lu suffered a lot of disasters. This month there was a drought in Jiafu, a locust plague in Yifu the next month, a windstorm in Bingfu the next month, and a drought in Yuedingfu again. At the same time, industry and commerce suddenly declined, taxes and banks fell sharply, expenditures soared, and incomes dropped sharply. Lu Fan's financial crisis became more and more severe. At first, the little court of Lu Fan would rescue him in every disaster, and he really loved the people like a child; when Lu Fan's treasury gradually became empty, the cabinet suddenly took trouble and asked the king Wei Shun to donate generously. It's a pity, don't you say whether Wei Shunhui can really pity the people, even if he really wants to rescue the disaster, how can he convert tens of millions of silver dollars and massive amounts of food?

Ever since, Lu Fan became troubled and troubled.

When a certain government encountered a natural disaster, the court was powerless to save, and the hungry people gathered for disaster; the court sent troops to suppress the civil disturbances, and the soldiers owed more and more salaries, and the soldiers became angry. The kings urgently imposed taxes and offended the wealthy businessmen of the world and turned their wealth. Transfer to other vassal states.

Soldiers have no intention of fighting, and the hungry people are fierce.

In April 1644, a group of hungry people invaded the capital of Jinan Mansion. Wei Shun would be killed by rocks when he escaped into the dry well.

In June 1644, Fan Lu made an emergency reorganization of his cabinet in Qingdao. All the famous ministers who were not approved by Wei Shunhui were selected. The new cabinet immediately became vigorous, and efficiently invited 30,000 paces from the ally Wu Fan to quickly calm down the hungry people and thieves who were weak in organization. After that, the cabinet used Lu Fan’s sovereignty guarantee to borrow from Wu Fan to solve the current embarrassment, and then borrowed from the Nanyang vassal states to buy food. In just a few months, Lu Fan turned from danger to peace.

The Lu Fan cabinet restored power smoothly, and Wei Shunhui became the famous faint king or faint king of the Wei Xia Empire.

It's normal to encounter refugees and make chaos, and it is not uncommon for them to invade the capital, but they can't escape until they escape. Wei Shunhui absolutely has limited IQ. You must know that under the enfeoffment system, every vassal country has the phenomenon of nobles or family members, and it is a life-saving knowledge that every vassal must learn to escape in an emergency. For example, Wei Shunzong, king of the Zhao Fan clan, was almost trapped in the circle of nobles, and he could still escape to Wei Fan on his own. Another example is Wei Shunhui's uncle, facing the elite Qingqi sent by Van Beek to intercept, he can still safely escape to the imperial jurisdiction. On the other hand, Wei Shunhui was so stupid that he could not imagine that he was besieged and killed in the capital by a group of hungry people who lacked Qingqi.

But would Wei Shun be so stupid?

I am afraid this matter is questionable.

If Wei Shun would really be so stupid, how could the cabinet be suppressed by him for 13 years?

Some Wei Shunhui who fled to its vassal confederacy believed in close ministers, angrily accused that all of this was a cabinet conspiracy, and there were many doubts about the chaos in 1644.

First of all, the natural disasters in the early provinces were not as severe as imagined, but the court controlled by the cabinet was desperately extravagant or corrupt. It is said that the so-called flood in a certain province was actually just a small river overflowing because the downstream was blocked, and at most hundreds of fields were lost, while the cabinet allocated five million shi for emergency relief. Of course, this batch of grain was not really distributed to the people. Instead, it was transported through this prefecture to the three places where the natural disasters were more severe, such as Jin Fan, Zhou Fan, and Tang Fan, and they were smuggled and resold. Afterwards, in the real disaster-affected prefectures and counties, the cabinet used the excuse of the emptiness of the national treasury to delay relief efforts, indirectly persecuting the local hungry people into chaos.

Second, the combat effectiveness of this group of hungry people is not strong. On the bright side, despite repeated battles and defeats, the actual losses of these troops were minimal, and it was suspected of deliberately indulging the hungry people into the capital. As for the direct line troops sent by Wei Shunhui, why were they also annihilated by the entire army? The answer is also very simple. According to some soldiers who were lucky to escape, the day before the battle, the warehouse for storing gunpowder suddenly exploded, and the gunpowder supplied in the logistics was all wet and unusable. Wei Shunhui’s direct troops were equivalent to carrying fire sticks and desperately hungry people. Defeat is normal. result.

Once again, a minister in the palace broke the news that shortly after the direct line of troops went out, Wei Shunhui was indirectly controlled by the cabinet in the palace. It wasn't until the hungry people attacked the gate of the royal capital that Wei Shunhui learned of the sad news of the destruction of the direct line. Wei Shun knows that there are many doubts about this Hungry People's Rebellion Party. Naturally, he will not guard Jinan Mansion stupidly, so he immediately wanted to ride out of the palace and flee to the nearby Zhao Fan. Unexpectedly, the gate guard was replaced by the cabinet quietly, and the gatekeeper shot Wei Shunhui back with hard-hearted arrows.

Again, this hungry democracy is the victims of disasters. They have hurriedly assembled into an army and should be unfamiliar with or proficient in artillery tactics. However, this Hungry People's Rebellion Party strangely possesses a team of elite artillery, which is more powerful than Wei Shunhui's direct line. Even, perhaps they were still afraid of the lack of combat power of the hungry people. When the hungry people attacked the gate of the royal capital and hesitated to cruise, someone secretly opened the gate and set them on fire. If this were not the case, how could Jinan Mansion, which has a complete fortress system, suddenly fall?

At the end, some people said that the hungry people did not catch Wei Shunhui. In fact, Wei Shunhui wanted to negotiate with the hungry leader in good faith. However, a small group of private soldiers who seemed to know to be elite soldiers rushed straight into the palace wearing the starving robe, and involuntarily pushed Wei Shunhui into the dry well, smashed to death.

and many more.

The fall of Jinan Mansion and the death of Wei Shunhui are all doubtful.

It is a pity that the Hunger and the People’s Rebellion Party was massacred by Wu Fan’s mercenaries and Lu Fan’s troops, and there is no reliable evidence; Wei Shunhui’s former direct descendants were also arrested and wanted by the cabinet on various charges. They were all corrupt officials who were morally indebted. A little rumors were impossible. Affect the political situation of Lu Fan.

In July 1644, the cabinet elected Wei Shengqing, the eight-year-old eldest son of Wei Shunhui, as King of Lu Fan.

Different from the succession to the throne in the past, the cabinet took the opportunity to carry out substantial political reforms and required the puppet king Wei Shengqing to fully accept the cabinet's constraints. The cabinet changes the cabinet supplementary system in a higher profile. The king still has the right to nominate an official into the cabinet, but the final result must depend on the election of the cabinet majority; and an official elected by the cabinet’s expanded group meeting can be supplemented without the king’s approval. Enter the cabinet; all military forces of the vassal state continue to be loyal to the vassal in name, but the cabinet restricts the vassal from setting up guards privately, and the appointment of all generals must be approved by the cabinet.

In other words, the prince has become a rubber stamp puppet, and the cabinet has since become the real supreme authority of the Lu Fan.
