Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1250

Yudu City.

Yudu, which is becoming more and more prosperous, has more and more population, more and more markets and roads, and more and more piers have been built one after another, and it has begun to become the central capital of the Southwest in a veritable name.

The prosperity of Yudu shows the prosperity of Minghou Mansion.

Ever since the New Deal gained a firm foothold, it was out of control. With Xu Shu, Wei Ji, Fazheng and others as the vanguard, it began to dislike a mighty revolution in the entire southwest.

This reform has involved Mu Jing's energy.

Because of the New Deal, Zhaoming Pavilion recently held a small meeting on three days, and a big meeting on ten days to discuss reform issues.

Changes don't happen overnight.

It doesn't change all at once.

The best policy is to adapt to the local policy. The policy is changing every day. The main thing is to see the news from the local summary meeting, so that Zhaoming Pavilion can make changes to the new policy.

"Fakao, Dali Temple, six gates!"

On this day, Mu Jing emphasized at the Zhaoming Pavilion meeting: "At present, it is still not enough. Recently, many cases have been reported from below. The Dali Temple is somewhat unable to support it, and the cooperation of the six sects is not enough. In addition, Facao must deal with Mingke. The new law has been further improved, and the punishments and crimes in all aspects must be clearly listed. Therefore, in this regard, we are relatively simple in terms of level and general direction. The law is the mainstay of the new policy. We must Improve as soon as possible. The core of the new policy is to establish a prosperous age under the laws and regulations. Therefore, the improvement of Mingke is the first. In addition, the judgment standards of Dali Temple must also be listed, and the law enforcement limits of the six doors must also be set. charter!"

He has always attached great importance to justice.

For thousands of years in Yanhuang, the feudal society was a society of human affection, and man ruled the world, which is true, but there is no rule without rules, and if human affection is placed above the law, problems will eventually arise.

This is what is wrong with Confucianism.

Confucianism pays too much attention to governing the world with benevolence, benevolence and righteousness can indeed make many people submit and respect, but it can't make those selfishness disappear, but all people have seven emotions and six desires, so there is no reason why everyone is a saint.

That's why Mu Jing has always believed that to rule the world, laws must come first.

The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. In this era and under this system, this sentence has always been just lip service.

What can be done are just individual examples.

Since he established the Dali Temple and the Six Gates, he was imitating some models of the later celestial dynasties to establish the judicial system.

Facao is the place where laws are established. As long as "Mingke" is maintained and perfected, "Mingke" is the foundation for the Minghou Mansion, and all laws and regulations are the foundation.

The Dali Temple belongs to the court and is the place where crimes are sentenced.

The six doors are law enforcement.

"Master, within the next three months, it is no problem to strengthen the system of Dali Temple, but every state must establish a Dali branch temple, and every county must build a Dali small temple. Is this too much? First of all, we don't have so many talents, and we don't have so many resources!"

Hu Zhao questioned and came to look at Mujing.

The law of the six doors can be applied layer by layer, but Dali Temple is only a place for sentencing. Isn't it easier to sentence them together?

The point is not that he is not willing to give up resources, but that the entire Minghou Mansion cannot find so many talents. The power of Dali Temple is not simple.

Before the New Deal, it was generally a matter for the county government to convict. The New Deal deprived this right from the county government and handed it over to Dali Temple, so the power it controlled was equal to half the county government.

It's not something ordinary people can pick up.

In today's Minghou Mansion, the new policy is rampant, which has angered many people. Many scholars dismiss it, and even reject Minghou Mansion, so there are not many talents that can be recruited.

Even in the headquarters of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, under the system of various ministries, there are many vacancies in positions. One person does the work of two people, and many officials are living in dire straits.

The lack of talent is a fatal flaw in the Minghou Mansion, and it may even be impossible to make up for it in a short period of time.

"Everything has its own priorities, and so does the conviction. We can't always expect all the cases to be handled in the Dali General Temple. This is not acceptable!"

Mu Jing analyzed: "In addition, we should not underestimate the system of Dali Temple. Dali Temple is a place for sentencing, that is, a place for interrogation. Ordinary minor punishments can be completed locally, but there is no place for major crimes such as murder and rebellion. The method must be the state temple, or even the Dali General Temple. As for the difficulties, there are difficulties everywhere, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. If there is a difficulty, go to overcome him. It is hard to find a three-legged toad, but there is always no shortage of people with two legs. , if it doesn’t work, I’ll push everyone in the academy up!”

This is a court.

I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running. The courts all have lower courts, intermediate courts, and high courts. This system is already mature, so it is natural to copy it.

This system must be implemented. This is the most important part of the New Deal.

"I agree with what the lord said!"

Liu Jin's local experience is even worse than that of Hu Zhao. Hu Zhao has been in the upper echelons for many years, but he has derailed from the lower echelons. He is too idealistic: "At any cost, we must build a Dali Temple in every county, so as to ensure our Mingke can be implemented among the common people, so that the New Deal will not become a joke!"

After thinking about it, everyone thought that Mu Jing and Liu Jin were right.

After discussing for a short while, this topic was considered to be withdrawn.

"My lord, the current population statistics have come out with some data, all of which are from the five prefectures of Jingxiang!" Qin Song handed a copy of the dossier from the report to Mujing, and also distributed a copy to everyone.

"The population statistics of the Jingxiang five prefectures?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "How likely is it true?"

In this day and age, it is not easy to do population statistics. After all, all wealthy families and gentry families have a lot of people from black households, and there are countless people without household registration.

"At least ninety percent!"

Qin Song replied: "The New Deal has two policies, which are to make the aristocratic families and the gentry and powerful families oppose us at any cost. One is to measure the land, and the other is to count the population. , and now the Jingxiang area has implemented the new policies in place!"

"600 people?"

This number still surprised Mujing.

Jingzhou has gone through so many wars, and it is not easy to maintain this figure now.

"Jingzhou was originally a large state with fertile land and a prosperous population. Before the war, it was estimated to have a population of 800 million. Over the years, there have been many wars, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the civil war in Jingzhou, and our battle with Liu Biao. It has lost a lot of Jingzhou's young and strong, and the war together has affected countless people, causing countless families to lose their homes and become homeless. Once wandering, life is not guaranteed, and countless people will starve to death.

Qin Song's analysis: "In the past few years, at least Jingzhou has lost at least 200 million people!"

"It's only been fighting for a few years, the loss of 200 million people?"

Mu Jing felt a slight pain in his heart.

War.

When they came, they showed their blood and ferocity, and they became heroes one by one.

When it was time to leave, there was only a mess left.

Whether it is a loss or a win, the final payment is the life of the people of the big man and the loss of the population of the Central Plains.

In history, how many lives were lost in the Three Kingdoms in one hundred years, and how many young and strong Han people were involved, the number is innumerable, so there was the worst result.

The rise of foreign races and the reduction of the Han people to two-legged sheep. Those tragic years were all because the wars of the Three Kingdoms were too fierce.

Just like the war of resistance in later generations.

If it wasn't for the fact that the warlords had been fighting for decades and had exhausted all the strength of the provinces, would that small island country have plunged the Central Plains into a full eight years of resistance?

Anyone who is bullied by outsiders.

It's all the result of too much internal fighting among one's own people.

This is the lesson of history.

No one can understand this lesson at present, even if he is as smart and wise as Hu Zhao, he would not have imagined that after more than a hundred years, the alien race he despises will shed the blood of the Central Plains and treat the Han people as two-legged sheep.

If Mujing told him this, it would undoubtedly be just a joke to him.

Although there are not a few nomadic peoples, no matter whether it is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, etc., they are not enough to put great pressure on the Central Plains, and they have never even been taken seriously.

"We must unify the world as soon as possible!"

Mu Jing made up his mind: "Ten years, within ten years, I must win the Central Plains, no matter the cost!"

He cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Let this world go through a hundred years of chaos, then let the Central Plains decline, and then let the Han people become the stepping stones of those nomadic peoples, he will never allow such things to happen.

"What about the land?"

Mu Jing took a deep breath, and calmed down his heart. It's enough for him to have an idea in his heart about these things, and it's not necessary to bring it up, it's just a joke, so he changed the subject and asked.

"At present, there is not much progress in this area!"

Qin Song replied: "My lord, the land is the bottom line of those people after all. Once our methods are too drastic, we can only drive them to nowhere. In the end, we will be the ones who suffer!"

"Why don't I know!"

Mu Jing said: "But this is not a reason. All things are done in one go, one after another, and three times. Now the new policy just suppresses all the remaining. If we can't implement it as soon as possible, I'm afraid Procrastinate, and it will be nothing in the end!"

The policy is like this. Once it is delayed, even if the above emphasizes it repeatedly, the people below can only drag it.

"I plan to take a trip to Jingxiang myself!"

Liu Jin suddenly said: "On the one hand, it is to forcefully push forward the decree on land measurement, and on the other hand, it is necessary to personally check the changes caused by our new policy in the local area!"

"also!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "It's time to go. We can't listen to what they say. If we don't go down and take a walk, we will never be able to see it with our own eyes. Now the five prefectures of Bashu are still in a stalemate. It's not that big, it's fine if you walk away, but hurry up and come back, don't delay for too long!"

"promise!"

Liu Jin took the order.

....................................

After the meeting in Zhaoming Pavilion, Mu Jing sat slumped on the futon under the desk.

Everyone left, except Xi Zhi.

This guy is holding back his last big move.

"I've compiled the news about Northwest's return, you have to read it yourself!" Xi Zhicai's solemn Mu Jing handed over a thick dossier, at least twenty or thirty sheets of paper.

"Xi Zhicai, didn't you talk about the Northwest matter, can the Beiwutang handle it?" Mu Jing gritted his teeth, he was already out of breath due to the tedious matters of the New Deal recently, and the backyard was on fire. Doesn't this guy have any discernment?

"Having said that, the war so far is about the future of such a vast land in the northwest, from Jishi Mountain to the entire Liangzhou, how can I make decisions so easily!"

Xi Zhi shrugged.

"So I want you to just eat dry food, what's the use!" Although Mu Jing complained, he picked up these files and looked at them. The summary is very careful, including the recent military movements and changes in the situation. in it.

"So, this battle finally fell on Ma Chao!"

Mu Jing flipped through for a while, then closed the file, and looked at Xi Zhicai.

"I can't help Zhang Wenyuan's strategic deployment!"

Xi Zhicai hangs high.

"Then how much do you think Zhang Wenyuan will win?" Mu Jing asked.

"Hard to say!"

Xi Zhicai said: "I don't know about Ma Chao. In addition, the Longxi Army has a Supreme Emperor. Ma Teng is the master of the Ma family. After all, Ma Chao is just an heir!"

"is it?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "I don't think so, Ma Teng has lost his vigor, he was beaten so badly by us, he lost his vigor, he is like a wolf without teeth, Xiliang is not other places, Xiliang is a pack of wolves In the galloping land, once the alpha wolf loses its deterrent power, it will be eaten, only the strongest wolf can be the king, and only in this way can the survival of the wolf pack be maintained, Ma Teng cannot hold back Ma Chao!"

"But Ma Chao may not be against Ma Teng!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Actually, if you want me to say, you shouldn't place your hopes on these odds. If you should fight, you still have to fight. If you can forcibly eat the Longxi Army, you can guarantee this battle!"

"Easy to say!"

Mu Jing said: "First of all, we don't know enough about the terrain and climate in the northwest, and we wouldn't even imagine that we would suffer a loss in a fight. In addition, Zhang Wenyuan was able to change his original strategic deployment at this time, which shows that he is deliberate. As for Ma Chao, if Jing Wusi doesn't have a little bit of self-confidence, Tan Zong and Zhao Xin are two little loach skaters, they dare to come out and take on this matter!"

"It is!"

Xi Zhicai nodded.

"Let Huang Shao's Yellow Turban Army advance to a position, go north, go straight to Tongguan, and go west along the line, guarding the entrance of the East River. Guanzhong will never allow soldiers and horses to appear in Xiliang, whether it is Cao Jun, Yuan Jun, or Bingzhou. Youzhou Army, come and fight one by one!"

Mujing pondered for a moment, then gave the order calmly.

"Will it cause Cao Mengde and the others to react violently?" Xi Zhicai was worried.

"Not afraid!"

Mu Jing smiled: "I didn't take the initiative to start a war, but just strengthened the defense. If they dare to attack, this is a gift for us. I don't mind a fight. I don't think they will dare to come out with all their strength!"
