Chapter 560 How to disrupt a political reform? !

The God Bless New Deal has caused the scholars of the world to boil, and this is what they want.

However, the tyrants in the counties and counties were naturally unwilling, and it could even be said that they suddenly changed their colors, and directly denounced it as "tyranny" and "evil law".

Some people who couldn't hold back even directly referred to Wang Mang as "the treacherous officials who have caused troubles in the world, and should be killed to thank the world."

Luo Qi tried her best to restore the land granting system among the traditional six counties in Guanzhong, hoping to re-grant land from Guanzhong first.

Because the power of the Guanzhong royal family is still extremely strong, especially with troops loyal to the royal family stationed, it can effectively put down the rebellion.

But this is not the case at all in Kanto. The situation in Kanto can be described as a mess.

As the edict was issued among counties and kingdoms, the reactions of all parties were different.

The officials in Donghai County are worried about this edict. If they don't implement it, the court will definitely be held accountable. If it is implemented, how can it continue to be implemented?
The number of officials in the Han Dynasty was very small, or there were not many officials in the ancient dynasty.

Especially as the population gradually increases, more and more officials are needed, but the finances will gradually deteriorate as the dynasty lasts. This two-way deterioration will cause any ancient dynasty to lose control of the grassroots.

Any decentralization of power is an act of necessity, a compromise of desperation.

Without the support of the powerful clans below, they would not even be able to go down to the county and township, let alone confiscate these powerful lands.

"The imperial court has always asked me to clear the land and take back the country, but how can I clear the land, how can I take it back?

The opposite side is doing things for us. This is handing a knife to them and making them commit suicide. Do you think the opposite side will directly fight back with a knife? "

In the end, I had to ask Cui Yi, the sheriff of the two thousand shi, who is the master of everything in the county.

"Shangguan, the imperial edict, what should I do?"

Facing the melancholy faces of the crowd, Cui Yi sat upright and calmly said, "What else can I do?
We are loyal ministers of the imperial court, so naturally we must carry out the imperial court's orders to the letter. Besides, Mr. Jujun, his character is like a saint. Could there be mistakes? "

Hearing Cui Yi's words, everyone in the room looked at each other a few times, with some surprise in their eyes, this was not the same Cui Yi they knew.

Cui Yi acted as if he hadn't seen the expressions of these people, and continued to speak loudly: "Pass the order, let the officials in the county move, don't slack off.

Strictly implement the Wangtian system and confiscate the land title deeds of the entire county, whether they are from the powerful or the common people, and confiscate them door by door.

Knowing that the county is short of manpower, the official first recruited those students temporarily from the county.

After the land is confiscated, the official must distribute it fairly, so that every commoner can get the land fairly and justly.

There is also a court decree saying that officials, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy families should all be more frugal. The wealthy family has a lot of fish and meat, but the common people can't eat enough. This is not what the sages expected.

This officer is also deeply saddened by this.

The imperial court said that the reason for this is that the powerful merchants profited from buying and selling, which made the people overwhelmed, and some money could not satisfy their hunger. Therefore, it strengthened the equalization of the quasi-level division, and the imperial court unified the business to ensure the food and clothing of the people. This official deeply agrees.

The order was passed on to confiscate the grain, cloth and other items in the county, and they would be allocated by the government in a unified way.

Ok.

Leave [-]% of the food for the people in the county. After all, it may take some time to deploy, and there is no shortage of food for the people.

There is also the decree to abolish slaves and maidservants, which is really the work of sages!

Immediately notify the various big clans in the counties and counties, let them release those slaves and maidservants free, the big men rule the world with filial piety, and the elderly over seventy, even if they are common people, do not need to kneel down to see His Majesty.

How many slaves and servants in the big clan who are over [-] years old still sell themselves, release these people first, let them live their lives and enjoy the family happiness, it is in line with my way of filial piety.

The merits of the imperial court should be known to the world. I am very worried that the merits of Your Majesty and Ju Jungong will be damaged because of some trivial hard work.

When you go down to do business, you must tell those common people and wealthy families that this is all the grace of the imperial court and the credit of the great monarch!

This officer absolutely dare not be greedy for credit! "

After Cui Yi's words fell, the hall was silent, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe, he frowned when he saw this, and said solemnly: "What are you still doing here?
Does the great cause of the imperial court dare to push three obstacles and four obstacles?
Finish it as soon as possible, the imperial court is still waiting to see the result of the official!
When you go down to do things, record clearly, how much land was confiscated and allocated, how much success has been achieved in the average loss, and how many slaves have been released, all for this official to record! "

Now all the people in the palace were just awakened from a dream, they only had a deep respect for the sheriff, and they all bowed and said: "Here!"

After everyone retreated, Cui Yi slowly took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Serving the government and serving the people is the way of the sages."

There are many counties and counties in Dahan, and the situation is different. Some county guards are able to secure their positions completely by relying on the local wealthy families.

In the face of the court's decree, these county guards dare not do nothing. After all, there are embroidered clothes, governors, and supervisors who will appear between the counties and countries at any time.

So it quickly evolved into the government using this decree to rob people's land, asking for redistribution.

When asked why it has not been allocated yet, the answer is that the land has not yet been confiscated, and the conditions for allocation are not yet met, just wait patiently.

But soon on the confiscated top-quality land, tenant farming by the wealthy clan appeared.

The most ruthless thing is not to confiscate the land directly, but to confiscate the grain, which is simply forcing the people to a dead end.

This time, the countryside was completely blown up, bloody conflicts formed almost instantly, and the flames of the uprising were instantly ignited.

In the county government, Cui Yi looked at the results of this period of time, and he was really happy. His political achievements are definitely among the best among the county guards.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he wantonly seized and scraped the best land, and the knife for distribution was with him. It wouldn't be too much to set aside the biggest piece of land for himself, right?

He didn't have the guts to really carry out reforms and turn against the big families in the county.

He didn't want to suddenly shoot an arrow from the dark when he was parading in the street one day.

But he has the guts to collect money in the name of reforms, and he can directly blame the court.

"I'm doing this by order!"

Cui Yi was thinking happily, as for the so-called Great Harmony ruling the world, he would probably believe it when he was young, just like those stupid scholars.

"Governor, there are thieves rebelling in many places in the county, tens of thousands of people have gathered in a short period of time, and the fierce flames are overwhelming, what should we do?

Do you want to report to the court? "

There was a flash of panic in Cui Yi's eyes. It would definitely be impossible to report to the court. Now that the reform has just started, and such a big thing happened, doesn't it seem that he is very incompetent?
How will he be promoted after that?

Some refugees in the area are armed and suppressed, but it is easy to suppress. Compared with the imperial court and the big clan, the combat effectiveness of these ordinary refugees is really too weak.

So he immediately said angrily: "These thieves, today's saints rule the world, rain down rain, and don't want to serve the country and loyalty to the king, but instead rebelled, and quickly sent the county soldiers to suppress it."

When the envoy walked out, Cui Yi paced and meditated for a while, and then said to his cronies: "You can't waste these lives, this matter still needs to be reported to the imperial court.

It is said that there are treacherous thieves who are unwilling to cooperate with the reform, and even conspired to rebel, and now they have been suppressed.

The reform in the county is proceeding in an orderly manner, and I will do my best to carry out the reform, so that His Majesty's grace will reach every corner of the county, so that every commoner will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and will definitely live up to His Majesty's grace.

Bring more gifts to the people around the general, gold, silver, jade, and beauties. A few days ago, didn’t a businessman send me beauties from the state of Wu?
Take him to Chang'an and say good things for me, but I don't believe it. The general himself is a saint, so are all the people around him saints?
And the eunuchs in the palace all sent gifts to me. "

The cronies left the court after hearing this. Cui Yi thought about it for a while, but still felt a little unstable. Then he thought of the Zhao family of the empress dowager, curled his lips and said contemptuously: "A family that suddenly rises because of women must be a group of nouveau riche. As long as I flatter you a little, I can manipulate it in my hands."

Psychological contempt, but action is very important.

After all, that is the Queen Mother.

Although it is always said that power comes from below, it is from a macro perspective. In a society with a stable order, fame and status naturally come with unlimited power.

Even the Luo family took the empress dowager's request for marriage seriously. Cui Yi, who was regarded as a high-ranking official's two thousand stones, was a grasshopper that would be crushed to death in front of the empress dowager.

Simply not worth mentioning.

Cui Yi may have the ability to do things, but he is unwilling to do it, because he doesn't need it, he just needs to write beautifully, and then use the benefits to bribe all the supervisors, and those who don't want to accept it will be taken away or die in an accident.

From a county magistrate to a county guard, they all did this, and they never missed.

"This is the way of the world!"

Cui Yi twirled his beard and smiled, with infinite coldness, he picked up a pen and wrote on the paper, "Chen Yi greets His Majesty the Empress Dowager..."

----

When laws and regulations prevail in counties and counties, the evil officials in the counties are fierce and relentless. They are afraid of the rich and hate the people. The more urgent they are, the deeper the invasion. ——"Hanshu Shihuozhi"
