Chapter 171: At least I have a stable meal.

[After dividing the territory, Yelu Deguang decisively began to make a major change in the official system: Yili Jin, who was promoted to the North and South Second Courtyard and the second room, was the king, with the chief register as the order, the order as the governor, and the governor as the festival. Du envoy, Erbu Tiliji is a Situ, Dalagan is the deputy envoy, Madu is the county magistrate, and Dalagan in the county is Ma Bu...]

[At the same time, Yelv Deguang also learned from the Central Plains, listened to the suggestions of many Han officials, and added a number of official positions that were not originally available in Khitan: Xuanhui, Gemenshi, Konghe, Kesheng, Yushi Dafu, Zhongcheng , Attendant, Judge, Wenpai Department...]

[It can be said that these measures taken by Yelv Deguang were in line with the Khitan itself. "The public ministers and officials all imitated China", "Having acquired six states in the Yan and Dai Dynasties, they used the Tang system to reestablish the three southern provinces and six tribes." , platforms, courtyards, temples, prisons, guards, and officials of the East Palace."]

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin smiled. He never thought that the foreign races of later generations would actually learn from their system of the Tang Dynasty again. Although they were learned by the foreign races, this also affirmed the perfection of their system of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty separated the official positions in the north and south, and governed the Han areas and the Khitan areas separately. This situation of implementing two systems of agency in one dynasty still sounds a bit unacceptable.

But if you think about it carefully, you can find that this is the most suitable method for the Khitan at present. After all, the Khitan tradition must be maintained, and the Khitan, which has just founded the country and has not yet completed its ideological transformation, cannot be allowed to suffer too much impact from the Central Plains culture. .

But the excellence of the Central Plains system is undeniable, learning is inevitable, and it is also necessary to consolidate the Yanyun region.

In the end, the one country, two systems strategy is the most appropriate.

During the Kaibao period of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangmei looked at the new official positions Yelu Deguang had added in the miracle, and then recalled the general situation of the Liao Kingdom.

But he discovered an extremely crucial word, "Privy Council"

There was no Privy Council in the Liao Kingdom at that time!
The Liao Kingdom is now under the emperor. The highest authority of the Liao Kingdom is the Privy Council. Although it is divided into the North and South Chambers, they only have different governance areas. There is not much difference in the core. The Emperor of the Liao Kingdom must discuss all major military and state affairs with them.

But I never thought that during the Taizong period of the Liao Dynasty, until the land of Yanyun was acquired, the Liao Kingdom had not yet established a Privy Council.

In this major change, the Liao Kingdom only changed the existing North and South Houses from Yili Jin to King. Xuanhui was also established at this time. It would take some time for the Privy Council to appear.

[The Khitan has sufficient experience in governing non-Khitan ethnic groups. During the period of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan began to attack many traditional nomadic and even non-nomadic areas. 】

[The most representative one is Bohai State. 】

[The lifestyles of the people in the Bohai Kingdom are quite different. People living in the north mainly live in fishing and hunting, and their lifestyles are relatively primitive, while in the south, relying on geographical advantages, they are more inclined to agriculture and farming, and planting is widespread. This way of life is very close to that of the Han people in the Central Plains. 】

[In addition, the number of Han people living in Khitan is actually not very small. 】

[On the one hand, the Khitan launched many attacks on the Central Plains, plundering resources and people and bringing them back to the grasslands. On the other hand, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains region has always experienced the separatist situation of vassal towns. Various regions attacked each other, the political situation was turbulent, and social productivity was affected. Serious damage was caused, and some local political rulers were extremely cruel and implemented many harsh policies on the people. 】

[The Khitan, under the governance of Yelu Abaoji, vigorously absorbed various populations and treated them equally. 】

[This is very attractive to the Han people who have suffered from the war in the Central Plains. Therefore, in order to avoid disaster or survive, there are not a few Han people who fled to Khitan. 】【The Khitan was naturally happy to see the results, and continued to improve and appease them in accordance with the original policy, eventually achieving a situation in which the Han people lived in peace and contentment, and there were fewer escapees. 】

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was very open-minded about the Han people in the Central Plains defecting to the Khitan. After all, the Central Plains region at that time was in chaos, wars broke out frequently, many local governments were not in the right position, and they themselves were extremely cruel.

For ordinary people and nobles, everything they do is just to survive, just to have a bite of food. They cannot be kidnapped by the national righteousness and forced to stay in the Central Plains to sacrifice their lives for the personal desires of the superiors.

Regardless of whether the Khitan had discrimination and prejudice against the Han people in daily life, at least the policies were not too harsh or suppressive. Instead, the Han people were allowed to survive according to their original way of life. At least they had a stable meal and no longer had to live in poverty. A precarious life.

This was enough to satisfy them.

You know, for ordinary people, it is a common form to move to another place to make a living due to local famine, and it cannot be considered treason.

Those who can really be regarded as treason are those high-ranking officials, nobles and military generals who want to seek more benefits and take the initiative to defect to the Khitan.

[With a large amount of previous experience and experience, coupled with the assistance of a group of Han ministers, and the fact that Yelv Deguang himself valued it extremely, the Khitan formed a unique governance system from the time it formally took over Yanyun, and It will continue to be used in the newly acquired land in the future. 】

[To put it simply, it means dividing the north and the south, and governing both the north and the south. The official positions in the Liao Dynasty were divided into the northern and southern courtyards. The north governed the affairs of the palace, tribes, and subordinate countries, and the south governed the Han prefectures and counties, renting taxes, and military and horse affairs.It is appropriate to govern according to the customs. 】

[This approach has great flexibility and operability, and many adjustments can be made according to actual needs.

It not only retains the original system of the Khitan people, but also takes into account the Han system, so that the original Han people can live in peace. At the same time, it is a system in a transitional stage and will not cause any harm to the original Khitan system. Excessive impact. 】

[Therefore, in terms of local administration, the Khitan and other northern nomadic peoples still implement the tribal system, and hierarchical methods such as "departments" and "accounts" continue to be used; while in the south where Han people live together and were originally part of the Han Dynasty, the system of prefectures and counties is implemented in accordance with the Tang system. system. 】

From a social class perspective, this set of core policies is to integrate the Han landlord class into the Khitan ruling circle without shaking the interests of the Khitan aristocracy, so as to accelerate the development of Khitan's basic productivity. This is a step that is beneficial to both parties.

Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Liu Xiu felt that the last few words in the miracle were the most critical.

They always hold the power of one party. If the group can give them the opportunity to participate in the distribution of interests again, how could he not understand this?

He sighed precisely because sometimes these forces in this era are so deep-rooted and too widespread that even the imperial power cannot easily eliminate them. Once both sides suffer, it will be difficult for the emperor's position and dynasty to continue, just like the Liao Dynasty.

They never gave up on themselves. The nomadic culture did not fully accept the Central Plains system, and always maintained the core of the Khitan aristocracy.

Tribes such as Yelu and Xiao are truly our own people.
