Han Shizu

Chapter 1071 The Emperor's Confidence

Emperor Liu's appointment of Han Xizai, unsurprisingly, caused a lot of shock in the court hall in Tokyo, just like throwing a huge stone from a high altitude into a calm lake, the sound is loud and the waves are infinite, insects and birds on the water, fish under the water Shrimp are all shocked.

The problem is that, in the eyes of most people, His Majesty the Emperor has put too much emphasis on Han Xizai.Southeast pacifiers, one southeast, one pacifier, all need to be focused and worth pondering.

This is not only Jiangnan and Jiangxi, but also Wuyue and Fujian, which can be said to include the essence of the south.The appeasement envoy is a position with a long history. Although it is a temporary dispatch of the emperor in the current Han Dynasty, the power of any temporary dispatch is astonishing, just like the governor and patrol envoy set up by the emperor before.

Han Xizai was sent to the southeast, obviously under the imperial edict and was an imperial envoy.Such trust and reuse, how can it not make the courtiers of the big man have red eyes and acid in their stomachs?
Who is he, Han Xizai, but a descendant, although he has some fame, he is useless in Tokyo City. As for celebrities, they are famous only if they give you face.
However, generally speaking, the decisions made by Emperor Liu and the appointments that have been promulgated cannot be changed. Although the voice of discussion is heavy, it is difficult to change his will.Everyone from top to bottom could only stare at Han Xizai to see how he did and what the result would be.

At the same time, for Han Xizai, this heavy appointment also forced him to have no way out.As a vassal, bearing the orders of the king, holding great power, and enjoying the glory, once he makes a mistake, or does not do well, or does it too badly, and fails to achieve the expected results, then what awaits him, even if it is not forever, will certainly be Reputation ruined.

The government affairs in the southeast, the Liangjiang area, are temporarily handled by Fan Zhigua and Pingzhang, and Zan Jurun is in charge of the two Zhejiang provinces. Therefore, Han Xizai, the appeasement envoy, went south not to appease the government and appease the people. On the contrary, he went to make troubles.

Emperor Liu gave Han Xizai three tasks in total.

First, Qianhao.Move out those super-rich, wealthy businessmen, and big landlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to free up more living space for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, alleviate social conflicts, and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.There are three main destinations for migration, one is Hunan, the other is Northwest, and the third is Sanyang.

Second, crack down on lawlessness.This is a special attack to punish the evil. Those people or families who rely on their privileges and have a bad reputation in the fish and meat village will be dealt with the most severe blows.

Third, the redistribution of land.This is also the most important thing. Although it is not intended to be as "vigorous" as it was in Shu, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if a blunt knife is used to cut flesh, several methods are implemented together to break the original wealth pattern.

Of course, Emperor Liu knew in his heart that this was just a reshuffling of the cards to clear the old order, construct a new pattern, ease the conflict between land and wealth, and strengthen the rule.What's more, Liu Chengyou said bluntly to Han Xizai that the rich and the poor in Jiangzuo are not equal, but I equal them. Of course, this is just a private statement.

On the other hand, Emperor Liu's personal will was at fault. The economy and culture of Liangjiang and Wuyue had indeed achieved tremendous development under the governance of Li and Qian. Those with vested interests are not favored by Emperor Liu.

Perhaps Emperor Liu's mind is too small. Now that the world belongs to the big man, he doesn't want those people to continue to live a comfortable and nourishing life. He must change to make Emperor Liu feel suitable and feel the power of dominance before he can give up.

In fact, as far as Han Xizai was concerned, he was a little surprised by Emperor Liu's way of rectifying the powerful, and felt that it was too radical.After all, his reforms at the beginning belonged to conservative treatment.

If Han Xizai's policy at that time was only to restrict the powerful, big merchants, and big landlords, and to take food and flesh from their mouths, then Emperor Liu would have to cut the roots and start over.

If the means are too drastic, it will easily lead to chaos, stir up civil uprisings, and even mutinies. Never underestimate the influence of local powerful and right clans.However, when he noticed Emperor Liu's eyes as bright as a bright moon, and the faint smile revealed by the divine light, Han Xizai stopped thinking of admonishing him.

It can be seen that the emperor used him because he took a fancy to his little reputation and talent, and gave himself a chance to rectify his name.At the same time, what is needed is an executor. I can suggest specific matters, but it is not my turn to talk about decision-making matters.

Furthermore, even if there is a deviation from what I imagined, now that the opportunity is given, why not do it?After thinking about these things clearly, Han Xizai made a wise choice
That is to say, how can a hero like Emperor Liu, a unified monarch, and a strong style that has been cultivated all the time can be threatened by those old dignitaries and powerful rightists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and what capital do they have to bargain with him?

The only remaining consideration is perhaps that they do not want to cause the intact southeastern half of the wall to fall into war and suffer unnecessary trauma.However, what Emperor Liu did was what he thought was right and necessary.

If it is really because the policy is too arrogant and the means are too incentivized to stir up riots, how can Emperor Liu be threatened by this.To put it bluntly, the chaos in Shu was due to Emperor Liu's subconscious connivance to a certain extent. Since he was not afraid of the chaos in Shu, why would he be afraid of mere Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
Today's Emperor Liu, today's Han court, can be described in one sentence, all the heroes in the world can't compete with him, not to mention, all the "heroes" have been cut off, so why be afraid of Yu Yong?

Everything, no matter whether it is correct or not, no matter what the criticism is, can only be implemented and tried according to the emperor's will and ideas.If he does well and succeeds, then he is still a hero, and if he does not do well, he will be Emperor Sui Yang at worst, not to mention that Emperor Liu is still a "cheater".

Of course, Emperor Liu is not just a reckless man, he can calculate gains and losses, measure risks, and seize opportunities.As for the affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it was only after a few months of patience that they were ready to implement them.

In the past few months after the successful pacification of the South, the imperial court's work on the aftermath of the southeast region has never stopped.So far, the most important things are almost done.

First, the original bureaucrats in Jinling and Hangzhou basically moved north, sweeping away their upper-level politics.

Second, the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes formulated by the two countries will be abolished together, and the people in the southeast who have benefited may wait and see for a while, but at least they will not have more rejection of the Han court.

Third, the southern faction of capable officials replaced a large number of original southern officials. By February of the first year of Kaibao, the county and county governments in the southeast were basically in the hands of the imperial court and surrendered to righteousness, forming a de facto unity.

Fourth, the military has been completely reorganized. The original two countries' more than 30 troops were quickly digested and reorganized, and properly placed.Mentioning this, we have to praise Qian Hongchu for his profound sense of righteousness. In the land of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, there are not only millions of people, but also more than 140,000 troops.When the army is under control, Emperor Liu will have enough confidence to do anything.

More importantly, Emperor Liu's actions to rectify Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be regarded as standing on the standpoint of the masses and violating the interests of a small number of people, which has a basis in public opinion.Even if it doesn't, after the action is launched, it is enough to create public opinion.

As long as he doesn't stand in front of everyone and conflict with the interests of the people of the world, no matter what happens, he has enough confidence to face it and solve it.Speaking of which, Emperor Liu sometimes has his "willful" side.

Of course, Han Xizai was not the only one in the "working group" sent to Jiangnan, he was just in charge.Emperor Liu dispatched ten capable officials from various divisions in the capital, and the local government sent Wang Zhu and Zhang Yi (Zhang Ji's uncle), with the cooperation of Zhong Mo and a group of Nanchen officials.

At the same time, the local military and government also went to the edict and fully cooperated!
