Cultivation of immortals begins with the appearance of ancestors

Chapter 188 Answers
Emperor Jingwu looked at Zhang Jian with shining eyes at this moment, pondered slightly, and said calmly.

"Mr. is a great talent. If you think about it, you should be able to see the predicament of our country. I have worked hard to build a large country, and the people are prosperous. However, more than [-]% of the wealth is in the hands of the rich and powerful families everywhere. Instead, the people have lost their wealth. The land is displaced, so that every once in a while there will be refugees rebelling on the land, trying to overthrow the imperial court. For this reason, the imperial court must also open the treasury and take out treasury silver to try to quell the rebellion. And the poor state of the people cannot be changed, but the aristocratic and powerful families are getting bigger and bigger, I dare to ask you, what should I do to reverse this trend and make Daqian reborn!"

As soon as he came up, it could be said that Zhang Jian had a big problem.

This is a king bomb.

One answer is not good, the trouble is not small.

If it is an ordinary important minister, it is a proposition.

Zhang Jian looked thoughtful, and he was also considering the intention of the Emperor Jingwu.

In fact, Zhang Jian has naturally thought about this problem, and there are still many solutions in his mind, but no matter which solution, there will be a huge backlash.

Moreover, the Zhang family itself is now part of the gentry, and there is no reason to betray their own class.

But then again.

If Daqian Chaotang can solve the aristocratic family in advance, even if it weakens the power of the aristocratic family, it will be a good thing for the Zhang family to take power in the future.

Let Daqian bear the risk, and the Zhang family can harvest the results later.

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Zhang Jian pondered for a moment and then said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, aristocratic families are the cornerstone of the court, and catastrophes will be caused at any time. Please think twice before acting, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing Wu looked at Zhang Jian and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhang, there are only you and me here. You can talk freely. In the name of the Son of Heaven, I assure you that what I say today will never fall into the ears of the fourth person!"

"Please teach me sir!"

Zhang Jian glanced at Emperor Jingwu, and said in his heart that I believed your nonsense.

Zhang Jian still replied:

"Your Majesty, the way to govern the country is first of all to imitate the predecessors and innovate the existing laws and regulations. The most important problem for the imperial court at present is that land annexation is becoming more and more serious, wealth is lost, and national power is poor. The so-called poverty leads to change, and change leads to success!"

Needless to say, the harm of land annexation to the imperial court is not only that all the wealth has flowed into the hands of those aristocratic families. The aristocratic families have important people and money. Even the imperial court sometimes dare not take action against them easily.

The second is taxation. How many farmers were concealed by the rich and became black households, which led to the court's taxation and a sharp decline in wealth.

In fact, it is not difficult for Zhang Jian to suppress the aristocratic family.

Now the imperial examination system has been perfected.

The aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge has been opened up. Next, as long as we make good use of it, we can transfer the conflict between the aristocratic family and the imperial court to the conflict between the old aristocratic family and the new commoner family, and then seize the military power. Granting authority to those poor generals will naturally gradually dismantle the situation where the aristocratic and powerful families are in charge.

As for how to solve the problem of land annexation, this is the most difficult.

But there are precedents.

That is to no longer collect taxes based on the head, but to collect taxes based on the number of acres of land. No matter who owns the land, or what privileges the other party has, the tax can be customized according to the fertility of each mu of land.

When there is money in the treasury and the recruits are well trained, it is not like to punish whoever you want.

Zhang Jian made a brief outline of the idea of ​​spreading the household into the mu, which immediately made Emperor Jingwu's eyes brighten.

As for the specific measures, the Zhang family refused to answer because they studied hard all the year round and were ignorant of local affairs.

He was just guiding Emperor Jingwu to think this way, but he was not the one who initiated it.

No one except the imperial court could bear that huge backlash.

"In addition, Your Majesty can re-repair the clan records to enhance the influence of His Majesty's national surname. If you can repair the clan records and change the emperor's surname to the national surname, it will definitely make the Daqian royal family even more important!"

"This statement really touches my heart!"

Emperor Jing Wu had a smile in his eyes.

He looked at Zhang Jian, feeling joyful in his heart at this moment. The various measures mentioned by Zhang Jian can be said to be a timely help. He is not an emperor who does not know anything about local affairs. On the contrary, he is quite good at it and can have a keen insight into these few Great advice.

It can be said that every point is straight to the point.

Emperor Jingwu kept Zhang Jian behind and did not let Zhang Jian go until after lunch.

After Zhang Jian left, Emperor Jing Wu still habitually looked at Chao Mu, asking what the close palace man thought.

"Big companion, what do you think of what Zhang Xiuzhuan said?"

Chao Mu had already listened by the side, and said after hearing the words: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu wrote this to fight poison with poison, but there is also a great danger in it. If you want to collect land tax, you must go through a wealthy family. Your Majesty needs to get it." Suppressing places with iron and blood, but now is not the time!"

"Not to mention, we still need to investigate the fugitive households and black households later. This matter also involves the roots of many wealthy families..."

Chao Mu looked solemn, the solution is a good one, but don't act too hastily.

Otherwise, it would be a catastrophe.

Emperor Jing Wu also understood the pros and cons, and nodded slightly when he heard the words.

But soon after, a decree was handed down that Zhang Jian was promoted to be a lecturer of the School of Culture and Sports, which is a sixth-rank official position.

He is the deputy of Huang Liangzhong, a bachelor in attendance.

Serving the rank of bachelor's degree, but it is extremely noble!

Usually only the senior members of various ministries have the opportunity to hold such titles!
……

In less than half a year after entering the Institute of Culture and Sports, he has been promoted by half rank, which shows that Zhang Jian's official career is prosperous.

In the Institute of Culture and Sports, many editors, editors, and many officials clamored for Zhang Jian to treat guests to Zhuangyuan's residence.

Zhang Jian was a good follower, and took advantage of the situation to entertain many colleagues.

Huang Liangzhong, a bachelor's attendant, was also among the crowd. He was very optimistic about Zhang Jian. Seeing Zhang Jian's promotion, he was surprised and went happily.

……

champion inside
Many officials from the Institute of Culture and Sports gathered together for a while, and it was very lively, and they slowly dispersed until before the curfew.

Most of the many officials just tasted it, but some people got drunk.

Among them was Chen Xiuming.

The depression of Chen Xiuzhuan was noticed by many scholars of the Institute of Culture and Sports, but most of them pretended not to see it.

There is no comparison between people!
The same champion, one was promoted in half a year, and the other was still in place in four or five years, and the judges will be judged!

After bidding farewell to many colleagues, Zhang Jian finally walked out of Zhuangyuan Residence.

After walking a short distance, a familiar figure in a red robe walked out from the corner of the long street.

This is a middle-aged man with pale face.

Zhang Jian frowned slightly, but he heard the other party laughing.

"Zhang Langjun made me wait so long, I have been waiting here for a long time!"

"Who are you?"

Zhang Jian had already recognized the origin of the figure in front of him. Not long ago, he had seen this person in front of the three-eyed Zhensha well.

This is a strong man from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

"I am an iron-blooded Taoist." There was a faint smile on the face of this blood-robed figure.

"Your Majesty is so upright that you are approaching the sky. I am overjoyed to hear the news. I have come here to invite you to be a guest by the Blood River. I also ask you not to refuse. However, if I invite you in person, you cannot refuse!"
