Chapter 2124: Pat the thigh(2/2)
Is it inconvenient? If you don’t give the order, the big man will stop moving forward and make no further progress!"
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no one has gone to the frontiers. The land in the frontiers is not valuable anyway. If you are doing business, you may be hacked by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty one day. It is better to buy it in a big city, bah, a large county.
Preserve and increase the value of land...
"Not only that, in order to plunder wealth, Emperor Wu set up more officials, breeding corruption..." Fei Qian shook his head, this is the scary thing about a naughty kid, especially a naughty kid who became the emperor, his destructive power is simply astonishing.
.
First of all, these policies of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the original bureaucracy more bloated. For example, in order to carry out the execution of sues and calculations, the position of cruel official was added. In order to carry out the salt and iron monopoly, special government-run departments were added, which also gave rise to
The group of officials and merchants was eliminated, and because of the opposition of the previous officials, more officials had to be added to be responsible for harvesting wealth. What was originally one thing was divided into two or three people to do it, and the redundancy of officials began.
Secondly, the wealthy people who were driven away from commercial activities were forced to transfer all the funds originally invested in business to land. On the one hand, they annexed the land of insolvent small farmers through loan sharking and other forms. On the other hand, in order to avoid lawsuits,
After all, the prosecution only targeted cash, not land and other assets. In this way, a large number of small farmers lost the land they relied on for survival, and then China was trapped in this cycle and was unable to extricate itself.
Finally, small farmers who had lost their land could have entered salt and iron or other handicraft industries to support their families in another way. However, after the big Han monopolized these industries, in order to obtain more profits, they naturally used
They are all free labor, or prisoners engaged in production, causing these small farmers to completely lose their living space and become refugees, and then naturally become prisoners.
"The current situation is a gift from Han Wu," Fei Qian said slowly, "If Han Wu is aware of it, but doesn't know what to say?" However, according to Han Wu's character, I'm afraid he will only roar and criticize others.
There is nothing wrong, it is the people of the world who are wrong.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came up with many measures, but he was unable to end the deteriorating situation. In the later stage, he simply slapped his thighs, and finally ran away, leaving the mess to his children and grandchildren to clean up.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once tried to use cruel officials such as Zhang Tang and Yi Zong to rectify the officials and businessmen, but after these cruel officials killed the powerful officials, they themselves became another group of powerful officials. Fighting corruption was nothing more than replacing one group of people with another.
Criticize people, and all government rectifications can only be effective temporarily. Once you relax your vigilance, the situation will immediately worsen.
The two emperors Zhao and Xuan after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried to make improvements within the existing framework, such as increasing judicial transparency, encouraging private economy, etc. However, these policies only straightened out relationships and did not adjust the structure, so the effect was not great. Wang Mang
After ascending to the throne, he once completely overturned this system and tried to return to the track of land to the tiller in the early Han Dynasty. However, he was resisted by many powerful officials and ultimately failed.
By the time of Guangwu and Liu Xiu, the powerful landlords in the eunuch system who had been cultivated during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were already so tyrannical that they had no friends. Even Liu Xiu's little friends were affected. After being targeted by some people, even
Yin Lihua must also give up her position...
That's basically what it means.
The social system of "imperial power, feudal bureaucracy, and small farmers" at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty reached a state of balance before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the originally streamlined central system of three officials and nine officials and the local two-level county system of bureaucracy
The system has expanded into many new groups, including cruel officials and the inner court. The original bureaucracy has also begun to divide. Some officials have branched out to become officials and businessmen, and the original wealthy businessmen have also separated from the common people, colluded with officials and businessmen, and become officials.
At this point, the reorganization of the new bureaucratic system has been completed, and its characteristics of being huge, profit-seeking, and violent are undoubtedly evident.
In order to feed the increasingly large bureaucracy, the imperial court could only continue to increase taxes, and these taxes would also be withheld by the bureaucracy, which would increase the burden on the people. At the same time, the bureaucracy itself, which does not distinguish between officials and businessmen, is profit-seeking.
They will use the power in their hands to crazily plunder the people's wealth, which adds to the burden on the people. Eventually, the balance of the social system is broken, the people are overwhelmed, the country is weak, the people are poor, but only the officials are rich.
"So my lord implemented the nobility system to criticize this disadvantage?" Zhuge Liang glanced at Fei Qian and said, "However, this system also has disadvantages... Oh, could it be that this time my lord..."
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Talking to smart people saves your worries.
After Feiqian had been implemented for a period of time, smart people in Chinese official circles naturally began to look for loopholes in it.
"Therefore, Kong Ming can return to Guanzhong in advance..." Fei Qian smiled, "Shi Yuan is in the Ming Dynasty, and some things may not be convenient... Kong Ming can use someone's order to check the things recorded in Zhiyin Prison, and communicate with Shi Yuan
Together, thoroughly investigate the flying squirrel..."
Zhuge Liang raised his hands and said, "Liang, take the order!"
