In the late August of the eighth year of the Luhou and Song Dynasties, the atmosphere in the Yi Temple in Linqiu was rather solemn, and the Shuren had refilled the water several times, but no one took a sip.

Sitting in the first place, Dr. Zhao, who was wearing court clothes, had already begun to tap the case impatiently with his fingers, but the patriarchs of several Zhenyi families, headed by the Zhen family, still shrank their heads in their seats and did not make any decisions about this time. "New Deal" statement.

Conservative, hoping to continue the inherent system and customs, this is a common problem of all patriarchs, because only in this way can the interests of their respective clans be guaranteed, and the so-called "New Deal" is almost a subconscious rejection.

However, he did not dare to speak out against it.

Two months ago, Zhao Wuxi used a strategy to take Zhenyi without bloodshed, and he used the military threat of the Jin army to stabilize the situation in the city. After learning the truth, the clans had some strange thoughts. But then the battle outside the city made them tremble with fear, and they could only accept Zhao Wuxi's rule half-heartedly.

In the beginning, Zhao Wuxi adopted a policy similar to that of the former doctor of Zhenyi, Kong, who only used this place as a food town, and all government affairs were handed over to the local clan to control. Although Zhao Wuxi disarmed the clan soldiers of all ethnic groups in Zhenyi, he still adopted the strategy of attracting and maintaining their interests, so everyone's hearts gradually settled down, and he let the children of the clan serve as city officials to help Zhao Wuxi gain popular support. .

After a dazzling diplomatic game, Zhen Yi officially merged from Wei State to Lu State. Although he changed his nationality, ≌≌, ★x. The life here has not changed much. The patriarchs felt that, It's been nice to keep going like this.

However, after receiving the land granted by the Marquis of Lu to bestow the people, the doctor of the Zhao family entered Qufu, the city of Lu, to complete the ceremony and confirmed his name. But began to unhurriedly unfold the "New Deal".

The first step was to put forward "five grains and corn. The people's life is also the commander of the people."

When the Jin army passed through the border, it did not harm the local people's livelihood. Therefore, most of the fields are covered with corn, which is in stark contrast to the dilapidation of several Weiyi in the west. The people usually heard the propaganda from the officials from the city and towns that they were all thanks to the doctor of the Zhao family, and they all believed it and were grateful.

After half a day's busy work, the harvest of corn in various places has basically been completed. When the warehouse is full, both the Wei people from Zhenyi and the Qi people from Linqiu all showed happy smiles. The food and clothing in the coming year has fallen behind, and people's hearts have completely settled down.

So, after the clan chiefs ate the first bowl of new rice this year, Zhao Wuxi's new policy tightened gradually.

"The second and third sons can think about it properly? Now that Linqiu has agreed to implement the new policy, only the Zhenyi tribes have not made a statement, and I hope the patriarchs can cooperate."

Zhao Wuxi's majestic eyes swept across the crowd, and cold sweat broke out from their hair crowns. Some people could not stand the pressure and wanted to give in, and their eyes were fixed on Zhen Zhongxun, the leader of the old Zhenyi clan.

Zhen Zhongxun smiled bitterly. Today's title is a public meeting, but it's actually Doctor Zhao's speech. Whether it's allowed or not, the results won't make much difference.

In the past few days, the Zhenyi clan has also been working in secret. First of all, he wanted to find a breakthrough in Zhang Mengtan, the No. 2 figure in Zhao Wuxi's forces.

In the process of implementing the New Deal, Zhao Wuxi played a white-faced role, coercing and enticing the patriarchs who held the power of various ethnic groups to the extreme. Zhang Mengtan, on the other hand, has always appeared as a red-faced character, and sometimes came forward to comfort him. It is also considered that the official implementation in the future will require the cooperation of these Zhenyi patriarchs.

However, for the mastermind of Zhao Wuxi, who has always been gentle and elegant, but has long sleeves and dances. There was no way anyone could get a real word out of his mouth. Really pressing, Zhang Mengtan deduced that it was Doctor Zhao's decision. It's just foreshadowing and assistance.

"This matter is not harmful to your clan, and the doctor will definitely implement it. It is better for you to agree."

So there is today's final public consultation.

Although he was afraid of Zhao Wuxi's military power and had no intention of "returning to defend the country", Zhen Zhongxun still wanted to fight for the interests of his clan again.

After several months of observation, he found that although Zhao Wuxi was sometimes ruthless, he did not wantonly oppress and kill the clan people indiscriminately, and everything could be discussed.

So Zhen Zhongxun carefully asked, is this new policy really necessary?

"There are townships under Zhenyi, there are li, and there are officials and retainers of officials such as the governor of the city and the Sima of the city. It has been implemented for hundreds of years since Uncle Wei Kang built the city here. Why did the doctor suddenly change it?"

Facing this question that I don't know how many times I've been asked, Zhao Wuxi said solemnly, "Of course it's necessary to change it!"

"Second and third sons know that a few months ago, Zhenyi and Linqiu belonged to Wei and Qi.

The local administrative system of Qi State was the foundation laid by Guan Zhong. First, it was called "Three States", that is, the area of ​​"State" was divided into three types: industrial township, business township, and scholar township. Next is the "Five Qis", which divides the "wild" area into five administrative levels: genus, county, township, soldier, city, and home. Thirty families per town, ten towns per village, ten villagers per township, three townships per county, ten townships each

county. In this way, there are 90,000 households in each genus, and there are five genus in the whole country. In each genus, five chiefs are in charge of the administration, and five chiefs are in charge of the judiciary.

In theory, Linqiu belongs to the level of "township", so the position of Linqiu's doctor, Wuya Brigade, is "good man of the township", and there are pawns and towns under it.

However, the system of guards used by Zhenyi is a continuation of the Zhou system. Therefore, although Zhen and Linqiu are both the lords of Zhao Wuxi, the clan belongs to the Zhao clan, and the state belongs to the territory of Lu, but there are two sets of guards. , Qi grass-roots system.

This "one country, two systems" situation cannot last long, either in form or in substance!

"So it is imperative to change the government system at the grassroots level! Now all the clans in Linqiu have agreed after a public meeting, but Zhenyi wants to stick to the old system, is it difficult for me? Follow-up?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was horrified, Zhen Zhongxun was dumbfounded, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Before Zhao Wuxi went to Lu City, he uprooted Linqiu's most unstable power and the largest clan, the Wu clan, with thunder, and forcibly purchased all their properties. The entire Wu clan was sent to the state of Qi, and since then there has been no great clan in Linqiu. Zhen Zhongxun was called to Linqiu this time to participate in the public meeting. After I feel that the big family is missing, the streets and alleys are deserted a lot. The backbone of this city has become a Chinese who was frightened in the battle of Zhen, which is why he agreed to the change so quickly.

Zhen Zhongxun no longer cares about scolding the people of Linqiu for being weak. Now, the gate of Yi Temple is full of soldiers in Hejia. If there is no result in the public debate, he will never want to leave this city and return home. This is forcing. Let them express their opinions! If one does not agree, he will often be condemned here, and in the worst case, he may be deprived of fields such as houses, houses and shops. He was kicked out of Zhenyi by Doctor Zhao and sent to Weijing.

"The ministers are willing to attach the doctor's tail..."

Zhen Zhongxun, who saw the situation clearly, first chose to serve softly, and the final result was as expected.

Since both Linqiu and Zhen Yi formally passed the proposal of the New Deal, Zhao Wuxi quickly promulgated the general outline of the New Deal.

...

The next day, Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi, who were newly attached ministers of Zhao Wuxie, were in the Linqiuyi Temple and listened to Zhao Wuxie's passionate declaration with many other officials:

"The poem says: King Wen is above, Yu Zhao is in the sky. Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed."

Ran Qiu claims to be versatile. The poems and calligraphy of Zhou are well studied, and I know that the general idea of ​​this sentence is that King Wen of Zhou was appointed by Heaven and made it clear to the world. Although Zhou is an old state, its mission is to innovate.

"The inscription on the plate of the soup is also engraved with the characters 'Gou Rixin, daily new. And daily new', so innovation can never be stopped. There is no system that remains unchanged for a hundred years. There is no state that is not easy for all generations. Duke Wen and Duke Miao were rejuvenated, and Chu had Sun Shuao’s transformation. Today, Zhenyi and Linqiu have left the old country and become the new towns of the Zhao family and the new land of the Lu country. The old system must be reformed, and the new government must be established.”

After the first two months of tireless efforts to establish prestige, establish trust, and get enough food, the people of the two towns were determined and their support for Zhao Wuxi's regime was getting higher and higher, and it was time to stretch out their tentacles to the whole territory.

The end of the declaration is to ensure that it will not harm the interests of the clans and the people of the country, but instead will fix the profit and make it a policy.

The surrounding officials cheered and praised for a while, while Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi looked at each other, feeling a little fresh.

Once he shows up outside, the young Gong Xichi always wears the best clothes, and he will say: "If you want to say that the biggest difference between Zhongdu and this place is that everything in Zhongdu should be about retro, and here it advocates Weixin, Brother Ziyou, what do you think?"

Ran Qiu was silent. After coming to Linqiu, what he saw and heard in the past few days made him faintly worried.

Although his family is known as the descendant of Ran Guo, a prince of the Zhou Dynasty, but now it has declined and can only be regarded as ordinary people.

During his stay in Zhongdu, he had no specific duties. Sometimes he helped Confucius and Zilu handle government affairs, and sometimes he led a small number of soldiers to patrol against pirates. Zhao Wuxi took the picture, which was his first chance to be in power.

Ran Qiu did not pay much attention to the cultivation of virtue. After being proficient in the six arts, his focus was on how to manage government and military formations. "I don't know its kindness".

Although he was noncommittal about some of Confucius' teachings and thoughts, he still respected the teacher. But so far, Ran Qiu has more appreciation for Zhao Wushen's aggressive reform attitude. His creation of the spear formation is a manifestation of his willingness to innovate~lightnovelpub.net~ On this point, he and Zhao Wuxi Shirts do not coincide.

What's more, updating the system means that new positions will appear, and Zihua and himself will have a chance to become a high-ranking person!

So Ran Qiu said to his mother's cousin Gong Xichi: "Zihua, the master once said that the ruler should be courteous to his ministers, and his ministers should be loyal to the ruler. Dr. Zhao is already your and my master, and after he came to Linqiu, he gave him We have very high treatment. You can eat fish and meat, travel with carriages and horses, and dress with ornaments, so you should do your best to assist the doctor's new policy. The one in Zhongdu may not be applicable here. You and I should use Doctor Zhao's orders shall prevail."

Having said that, Ran Qiu was still very distressed. Although Zhao Wuxi had a good time with Confucius in Zhongdu a few days ago, he was sensitively aware that there seemed to be a huge potential difference between the master and the doctor of the Zhao family.

"If one day, the doctor and the master will not get along because of differences in philosophy, where should Zihua and I go? Should I follow the teacher? Will I follow the lord?" (To be continued...)

ps: Going out, the book friends who are rewarding will thank you again tomorrow, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone.
