Chapter 541 The Spring Breeze of Reform

The other side of the Yangtze River, where Jiankang is located, has always been the concentration of overseas Chinese in the Southern Dynasties. Not only is it located in a key point, but it also has a faint tendency to restrict Jiankang.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the aristocratic families in the Southern Dynasty to make troubles, Liu Yishou showed the enemy that he was weak, and then fought back, killing all the opposing forces in Jiankang City!The scale of house raids was no less than when he was in Luoyang.

Strike while the iron is hot, and soon he sent his descendants to Qiaozhi Qi County, Qiaozhi Langya County, and Qiaozhi Qin County on the opposite bank of Jiankang, and asked Cui Xian to lead a group of scribes under the protection of the army. The county government will conduct an inventory.

Checking the household registration and suppressing the local aristocratic families who tried to resist, the scene can be described as vigorous and exciting.

If the whole Liang Kingdom did this, Liu Yishou would still be powerless.But this time only the area on the other side of the Jiankang River was checked, and the scale was limited to a small area.

This time, many local big families in Jiangdong stood by and watched quietly.When Liu Yishou chose the point of breaking the game, he considered the situation in Nanliang as a whole. For the inside of the aristocratic family, there were actually trade-offs, and it was not like killing everyone with a stick.

It's not that the Jiangdong gentry are not up to date, but that since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, those who have held state power have always been the aristocratic families from the north to the south.Even the Lanling Xiao clan where Xiao Liang and Xiao Qi belonged was also a noble family who moved north.

Liu Yishou will beat whoever holds more local power.Obviously, in today's Liang State, the gentry who migrated to the north are still dominant, and the local gentry in Jiangdong are mainly clustered in the Sanwu area, and their influence on the center is very limited.

The total area of ​​these overseas counties that Liu Yishou intends to use is relatively small, but the absolute area is not large, and their political influence is disproportionately large.

This relationship can be compared to certain small internal organs (such as pancreatic islets) on the human body, but their irreplaceability to the human body is far from commensurate with its size.

And many of the big families of the Southern Dynasties who participated in the operation this time did not really want to take the risk, but could not bear the huge temptation of small cost and big profit.

As long as Liu Yishou dies and the government rests, won't all problems be gone?
If you don't kill this person, but choose to use various means to resist politically, the total cost will be too high!The success rate is almost nonexistent.

It's a pity that their plan didn't succeed, and they were backlashed after the failure. Between slow death and quick death, they chose the latter.

……

In the study of King Wu's Mansion on Jiming Mountain, Liu Yishou was writing a decree, and Yang Jiang was wearing a tunic, making iced red bayberry drinks for Liu Yishou, with a very gentle smile on his face.

The so-called "sleeping belly" is a waistless vest, a piece of long cloth with a hole cut in the middle, and the two sides are hung down, and the sides are connected with four ropes on each side.

Yang Jiang's white belly and shoulders were all exposed, which made Liu Yishou dizzy.

"I really can't do anything with you dressed like this."

Liu Yishou couldn't help complaining, and put down the brush in his hand.

It's too hot, it's inappropriate to have a shot now, but if he doesn't come, he will be seduced again.

"You think I think, it's not too hot! Look at you, you are a stingy guy, you can only use ice to make drinks, unlike my father, who puts such a big piece of ice in the bedroom, does Alang know how much it costs? "

Yangjiang put the finished bayberry introduction on Liu Yishou's table while thinking about it, and then drank another bowl by herself, and couldn't help asking: "I used to live on Mount Tai, and there were winter wines hidden in the cellar. It is not uncommon to eat ice cubes this summer.

It's just that there is little ice in winter in the south. Where did those big ice cubes in the cellar come from? "

The ignorant woman sometimes asks some very thought-provoking questions.

Liu Yishou sighed and said: "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. As long as the rich and powerful like it, there is nothing they can't get. Even if Jiankang is not easy to get ice, Liang Guo still has a place to get it.

Dig the cellar a little deeper, grab the time to move it in winter, and how can there be no ice in summer to escape the heat?From your father's point of view, coolness is yours, and you can just get it after you run out of money.He is a person who leads troops to fight, and he doesn't need to consider whether the firewood is expensive or not if he is not in charge of the family. "

Liu Yishou spoke the truth.

Everyone is born unequal, and the level of grasping opportunities is also different, resulting in the phenomenon that "people are incomparable".As a powerful winner in life, one should not despise and ridicule those "losers" struggling at the bottom of society.

You win is the result, but it's never just about your struggles.The existence of nobility is just a result, but it does not mean that whoever is born is naturally noble.

However, it is basically impossible for the rich and powerful in this era to have a thinking mode similar to Liu Yishou's.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to ensure the use of ice cubes in summer, the Zhou royal family set up a corresponding organization to manage the "ice policy".From December every winter, people are sent to dig ice cubes in the north, and they are transported to the ice cellar called "Lingyin" for storage. They can be taken out for the nobles to enjoy in the hot summer.

In a slave society with extremely underdeveloped productive forces, such behavior of working for the welfare of the class regardless of cost fully reflects what is called "nobility first".

Therefore, Yang Kan's behavior is very "earthly", but Liu Yishou seems to be more hypocritical.

If he, Liu Dudu, is really afraid of the heat, with his current power, status and financial resources.In summer, I build an igloo on Jiming Mountain, and it is not a problem to wear a padded jacket to work inside.

"Oh, that's why I always see you more pleasing to the eye, and it's not by chance that I'm with you."

Yang Jiang sighed, and gently kissed Liu Yishou's side face.

"I felt something was wrong when you came back last time. By the way, it's not the first day we met."

Liu Yishou wiped the sweat off Yang Jiang's face with a weird face. Recently, this lady has been so tender to him, whether it's in bed or in daily life, her attitude is obviously different from before. up.

"I just think it's not easy for you. That time I saw my father kill someone, one knife at a time, and the blood splashed on him... Thinking about this is your daily life, I can't bear it."

Yang Jiang recalled what she saw that night, and couldn't help feeling scared.

"Actually, Ah Lang has killed more people than my father. I think you always lead troops to go to war in the South and North, but my father has always guarded Taicheng. You have at least [-] lives in your hands." Bar?"

Yang Jiang asked in a low voice.

"I can't even kill a chicken. How can I kill someone? How about we compare our wrists?"

Liu Yishou smiled gently.

"Compare, compare, come!"

A few seconds later, Liu Yishou looked at Yang Jiang in astonishment, his wrist was pinned down by the other party and he could not move.

Liu Yishou was just joking, but he didn't expect that he couldn't compare to the other party's arm wrestling!Thanks to the kindness of this girl, she didn't want to strangle him when she was sent here.

Otherwise, if they really fight on the bed, it's not certain who wins and who loses.

She really deserves to be the daughter of Yang Kan.

Liu Yishou secretly rejoiced that he wasn't like Xiao Zhengde and Gao Cheng, who didn't have the habit of jumping at strange beauties.

"Hey, I learned long spears from my father when I was young."

Yang Jiang said triumphantly, Liu Yishou has been suppressing him in all directions, and now he has finally turned around.

"Three provinces and six departments? What is this?"

I accidentally glanced at something written by Liu Yishou, and this unfamiliar title caught Yang Jiang's attention.

"It's a boring thing, don't mention it."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, unwilling to say more, with a look of lack of interest.

……

A few days later, at Liu Yishou's suggestion, Shangshu ordered Chen Yuankang to write a letter to the imperial court, spewing out tens of thousands of words.

There are many contents in it, which probably means:

As a minister, I feel that the burden on me is too heavy, the responsibility is too great, and the power is too great, and I am deeply disturbed.This problem is caused by the power and responsibility of the Shangshuling. Even if someone is replaced as the Shangshuling, it is not enough to solve this problem.

Therefore, it is very necessary to clarify powers and responsibilities, check and balance each other, and assign dedicated personnel.In view of the current institutional setup of the central government, I have the following ideas, hoping to carry out drastic reforms to the central government system.

The center is divided into three major parts that do not belong to each other, namely Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province.Cut off other untimely departments, such as the Ministry of Book Collection and the Ministry of Secretaries, etc.Even the actual position of waiter was abolished.

In this regard, Chen Yuankang also made a special statement: the servant is the emperor's confidant, the government is out of the palace, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, and there is no supervision. Now in the new structure, the power has been dispersed and overlapped by the three provinces, and there is no need to continue to retain it.

This is also for the sake of smooth government orders and to prevent multiple parties from interfering with each other.

Among them, the Shangshu Province decentralizes power with the current power structure as the core, and is only responsible for the implementation of the edict, but does not intervene in other related matters of the edict.

The Zhongshu Province was only responsible for drafting the emperor's edict and handing it over to Menxia Province for review.It does not ask about the implementation of the decree.

Menxia Province is responsible for checking government orders, and has the right to send back government orders deemed unreasonable, and let Zhongshu Province re-draft the imperial edict.

The three provinces perform their own duties in the implementation of government affairs, and there will definitely be buck-passing and wrangling.Therefore, on top of these three institutions, another Zhongshu institution was established, named "Yizhengtang", which is responsible for coordinating various difficulties in the implementation of government affairs.

To the top, that is, the emperor, is responsible for dispelling doubts and communicating, that is, telling the emperor about the relevant decrees.For the following, he is responsible for organizing and coordinating, and even making a final decision.

To put it simply, the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province are the decision-making bodies, and the Shangshu Province strips away all kinds of privileges and becomes a purely executive body, and expands the personnel of the "six ministries" under it to increase the fineness of the execution of government orders.

In view of the need for a large-scale expansion of middle and lower-level officials in the center, Chen Yuankang proposed to relocate the Shangshu Province, which has a large number of officials, outside Taicheng, and the offices of various ministries are scattered.The Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province continued to remain within Taicheng.

This memorial did not say how to deal with the extremely critical central organization: Yushitai.It seems that the so-called system of three provinces and six ministries has a major flaw in it, that is, there are no clear management rules for the implementation of local government orders.

However, Menxia Province has limited execution power and can only correct mistakes before the government order is issued. Once the government order is issued to the local states and counties, it will be impossible to pursue accountability and supervision.But having said that, although Chen Yuankang is Liu Yishou's confidant, he is currently only serving as a high-ranking minister.

It's really not his turn to dictate many things, especially matters related to the implementation of local government orders.

Chen Yuankang's letter was like dropping a big stone in a pond, which instantly stirred up thousands of waves.The central courtiers didn't care about the twists and turns he said.

The real killer move lies in the three inconspicuous words in the memorial: Yizhengtang!

They understood very well that setting up a "deliberative hall" between the emperor and the three provinces, and the emperor had no right to participate in the deliberations, was a typical grab for power.

Moreover, in terms of the political system, there is no cover-up, blatantly grabbing the class and seizing power!

Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what government order you issue, but the big boss of the Yizheng Hall will take action. It is impossible for your government order to leave the palace without "going through the trial". I hope you will not bring shame on yourself.

It's not that I, Liu, deliberately disgusted His Majesty, but the state system is like this, I hope Your Majesty will stop jumping around!
To put it simply, it is to completely legalize Liu Yishou's actions that are as powerful as they are now!

Set up temples based on people and tailor clothes.Because Liu Yishou is such a strong political and military minister, a "deliberation hall" was set up as a legal cloak to put on Liu Yishou.

Otherwise, King Wu is only a local vassal after all. To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference in status from Xiao Yi and his like. Playing like this also paves the way for possible turmoil in the future.

In the end, the vassal king always interferes with the central government, and the influence is not very good, and the appearance is too ugly!

After learning of Liu Yishou's gang's plan, the attendant He Chen trembled with anger, and wrote a memorial to Xiao Huan overnight, saying that what Chen Yuankang said was all evil deeds to harm the country and must not be carried out!

Not to mention that it is for the sake of imperial power, if it is really carried out, even the position of "servant" will be cancelled, and it will not even be a false position.At that time, He Chen probably will be unemployed and go home to farm.

However, his objection was of no avail. Chen Yuankang's memorial, after a fierce debate at the Great Court Conference, all core propositions were preserved.

I just left a tail and asked the ministers to brainstorm and discuss the institutional composition and power distribution of Yushitai.And local bureaucratic reforms.

All these issues will be completed within this year.

And Liu Yishou personally wrote a letter to suggest that from next year, the year name will be changed to "Hongwu" to show martial virtues.Officially put the Northern Expedition to Wei State, return the old capital, and unify the country as a long-term goal of the country and put it on the agenda.

This long-term goal will be divided into many short-term goals, which will be brought up for discussion during next year's political discussions and implemented one by one.

Specifically, how many household registrations have been increased, how much military rations have been hoarded, how many armors and weapons have been manufactured, and how many elite soldiers and horses have been added.Implement the material preparations that are needed one by one.

The rubber stamp Xiao Huan accepted Liu Yishou's suggestion without any surprise, and then announced his withdrawal from the court.

All the ministers and bureaucrats inside and outside the court have only one very similar idea in their minds:
The sky in Liang Kingdom is probably about to change!

……

"Trash! Trash! What a waste!"

In the yard, Gao Cheng punched and kicked Lan Jing who was lying on the ground.As for why this is so, there is actually no reason, it's just that I feel upset.

It was Gao Huan who annoyed Gao Cheng, so he dared to show his teeth to Gao Huan?If you can't beat Gao Huan, you can only beat your own servants. From Gao Cheng's point of view, what's wrong with this?
"Rectify the administration of officials, eradicate corruption, reform the talent selection system, strengthen the supervision and impeachment of officials, what's wrong with this? Why don't you listen to me? You trash!"

Gao Cheng roared angrily while kicking and kicking Lan Jing who seemed to have passed out. The "trash" in his mouth did not know whether he was referring to Gao Huan or Lan Jing.

After venting, he felt dull, and walked towards the study on his own.

"Father is really old and useless."

Gao Cheng couldn't help but said with emotion.

He felt that compared with himself who was determined to reform, what Gao Huan was thinking was really outdated.Now those old brothers around Gao Huan are domineering one by one, extorting bribes is a common practice, and the influence is extremely bad!
Gao Cheng didn't think there was a problem with his thinking.

As for Lan Jing, it's just a sandbag. Gao Cheng doesn't think he needs to think about his thoughts.

　The fever went away at twelve o'clock, and there should be no positive. Thank you for your concern. I am still in the finals.
