Now, for Liu Xie, he can gradually understand some problems.

Shandong Central Plains is the Han model that Liu Xie is more familiar with, and the Guanzhong style...

Liu Xie instinctively felt uncomfortable, so he said here that Cao Cao was "in the arms of the world", which was more like escaping and retreating than expressing confidence.

If he was in Shandong, Liu Xie could still do things according to his old cognition and habits and become an emperor, but if he followed the new model of Guanzhong...

After a moment, Liu Xie said again, "The Prime Minister is on the front line... I also believe in the Prime Minister, but... Although the Prime Minister is the leader of all officials, he still has to handle the war with full authority. At present, I am afraid that it is still a bit unreasonable. I want to give him an imperial edict to make his master famous. What do you think?"

Xi Lu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

『I have appointed the Prime Minister as the General, and given the Emperor Sword…』 Liu Xie said slowly, 『If the Prime Minister wins… there is an additional title…』

Speaking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but think of another "Son of Heaven"...

Xi Lu quickly knelt down and respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise! If the Prime Minister is so respectful to the Emperor, he will definitely fight bravely to repay the kindness of heaven!"

The emperors of ancient feudal dynasties knew that some ministers were ambitions, but they knew that the bureaucrats were corrupt and the court was dark, but they just didn't have the courage to make changes and completely break with the old bureaucrats.

The same is true for Liu Xie.

Although Liu Xie was not very clear about the operating model of Guanzhong's political structure and what was the biggest difference between it and the Central Plains in Shandong, although he was facing Cao Cao's political group and the bureaucratic system of the Xiahou family, although he felt a lot of dissatisfaction and hatred for Cao Cao, one thing was very interesting, that is, there was actually a little symbiosis of the power structure between Liu Xie and Cao Cao, and the two sides of imperial power and ministerial power.

The small peasant economic system is destined to be impossible to have any high-value-added products, so it cannot support more bureaucratic systems. This means that in fact, in ancient feudal dynasties, such as the current governance structure of the Han Dynasty, there are obvious flaws. At the county level, the administrative agencies are county magistrates, assisting officials, and then there are some clerks, Ding Yong soldiers, and the large counties can have three or four hundred, and small counties can even have dozens of people. Then, in a state of war, it is already amazing to be able to summon more village warriors and expand to thousands of digits.

Just a few officials often have to manage dozens of miles, hundreds of miles in a radius, tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 people, so they cannot control them at all. Most of the matters depend on cooperation between local gentry and outsourced to agents of the gentry's surname.

Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Cao Cao, but if he wanted to reform, improve, or just change, he needed manpower and money, and all his money could only come from local gentry and gentry, so in fact, any "reform" by Liu Xie would be limited to a very small range.

The most critical point is that the governance dilemma of ancient feudal dynasties, including the so-called dilemma faced by Liu Xie, is essentially the political transparency ceiling of agricultural civilization. It seems that there is infinite room for growth, and more fields will have more income and more population. However, in fact, when the complexity of society exceeds the carrying capacity of the centralized system, the solidification of vested interest groups, the soaring of governance costs and the lack of institutional innovation together constitutes a boundary that emperors find difficult to break through.

Only by expanding handicrafts and developing commerce on the basis of agriculture can this transparent ceiling be broken...

But Liu Xie felt fear and worry about this, because he didn't know anything about these aspects.

And now, Liu Xie has also found a reason and excuse for this fear and worry.

Fei Qian did not obey his edict!

Liu Xie felt a little painful on his face.

...

...

The news that the front line had to suspend the battle due to heavy rain also spread to Feiqian.

He did not urge him either.

The rain in Feiqian stopped here, but the road was muddy and had to wait for it to dry before continuing.

Marines and combat require the cooperation of objective conditions, and governance is also necessary.

To put it in a word, the soldiers of the military academy on the front line only need to fight and fight, and Fei Qian needs to consider the issue...

Ahem.

The issue Fei Qian is considering now is the possible changes in the next class ideology.

In the current window period of the late Han Dynasty, is there any possibility of going further?

Others can do other things on his behalf, but only this one can be done by Fei Qian alone!

Fei Qian knew very well that after "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" in the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's theory of "resonance with heaven and man" sacred the system of the emperor, and combined the theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements with the patriarchal system to form a governance framework of "the trinity of destiny, virtue and ritual system". Because of its self-consistent nature, this theoretical system has become an ideological shackle that is difficult to break through.

A triangle is the most stable structure.

This also led to the fact that after the Han Dynasty, the ideology of the upper ruling class basically did not change much.

The upper ruling class ideology of the triangle, coupled with the trinity of "county bureaucrats, major families, and local gentry" in the middle and lower ranks, changes each other and stabilizes each other's lower rank political execution system, basically, under the limitations of technical conditions, the limit of agricultural civilization governance has reached the limit.

This vested interest group's ability to maintain the existing order far exceeds the driving force of reform. Therefore, it can be seen that after the Han Dynasty, the emperor model became a fixed standard and there was no major change.

Fei Qian was thinking.

The current situation of the Han Dynasty is like the current situation of war, with enemy troops blocking it, wind and rain, and mud under his feet.

If everything remains the same, killing the dragon will be done, and then the dragon slayer becomes an evil dragon, it is actually very easy to deal with.

But...

So, what's the point of traveling through time?

Since the ancient tribe Yanhuang, China has been developing in its political system.

Xia, Shang and Zhou were a system. During the Zhou Dynasty, the feudal vassals were divided into princes and were among the first in the world. The system of titles such as Duke, Marquis, Bozinan and others followed the effective governance and feudal model for thousands of years.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was verified that the Great Seal Model was absolutely unsuitable in the vast territory of China. The war that lasted for more than two hundred years made China realize that only great unification can bring a sense of security.

Qin Shihuang was born.

The same car and the same text!

This is the greatness of Qin Shihuang and the greatness of China.

After all, there are so many languages ​​and words in such a small place in Western Europe...

However, after the Han Dynasty, there was no major change in the "Son of Heaven" model.

The Emperor's Model is the pioneering move of the Han Dynasty, but...

Fei Qian sighed.

After the Three Kingdoms, the periodic impact of the nomadic peoples actually strengthened the demand for centralization.

After the Five Barbarians Invasion of China and the Mongols and Yuan invasion, the rebuilt dynasty chose to continue to strengthen the "Son of Heaven" model rather than to innovate the traditional political class system.

If we say that China has no trigger point for change at all, it is not.

Perhaps the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty was once an opportunity?

However, the Tiankhan model of the Tang Dynasty was actually more like the Emperor model plugged in to the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system.

Emperor Taizong of Tang accepted the title of "Tian Khan", and indeed creatively combined the "Son of Heaven" of the Central Plains with the "Eternal Heaven" of the grassland. This dual legitimacy allows him to rule the Central Plains through Confucian etiquette, and maintain the grassland tribes through oaths, divine judgments, etc. However, the "Tian Khan" of the Tang Dynasty was more just about false names, and even the self-proclaimed in the Tang Dynasty's own Chinese region. Foreign envoys verbally declared that as for whether they had the name of "Tian Khan" in the foreign domain and whether they followed the orders of "Tian Khan", they were all doubtful.

At the same time, in the late Tang Dynasty, over-rely relied on foreign soldiers and generals. The Tang people did not use the Tang Dynasty to govern the Hu land, and planted the evil consequences of An Lushan. This "using barbarians to control barbarians" strategy was obviously not a long-term strategy. It may be effective when the central government is strong, but once the central government's sovereignty weakens, it will become a breeding ground for rebellion.

Moreover, in terms of the tribute system, the Tang Dynasty was also in a state of "silly people and a lot of money" in China for a long time. In order to maintain the tribute system, the Tang Dynasty implemented the "strong trade and weak relationship" policy, and lost its fortune in order to safeguard face.

Of course, Fei Qian felt that there might be some methods in which the Tang Dynasty gentry surname was similar to the "pirates and Japanese pirates" along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. However, there is less corresponding content in history books, which makes it difficult for Fei Qian to have a clear conclusion, and can only be a secret guess.
