Han family achievements

Chapter 55
Xun You looked at Liu Bian and was surprised.

He just said 'government order is unified', how come the abolition of the Sangongfu?
The "unification of government orders" he mentioned means that the "outer platforms" of the palace officials controlled the palace and confronted Shangshutai and Yushitai, which caused court battles, resulting in chaos and stagnation of government affairs.

Who said the Sangong Mansion was going to be abolished?
Although the Sangong Mansion has long been useless because of the development of Shangshutai, it is also the Sangong Mansion. How can it be abolished just like that?

Pan Yin didn't feel much after listening, suddenly became alert, and glanced at Liu Bian quietly.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the Sangong Mansion was abolished, and Dong Zhuo's Taiwei was gone!

Liu Bian looked at Xun You's startled expression, stood up with a smile, and said, "Come on, Qing family, let's talk in detail here."

Xun You quickly came back to his senses, thinking carefully about Liu Bian's words.

Liu Bian took Xun You to a tea table not far away, and sat down on one side of the tea table. Seeing that Xun You didn't move, he said, "Don't be cautious. I have many questions that I want to ask the Qing family for advice."

Seeing that Liu Bian was not lying, Xun You held his breath secretly, raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He stepped forward, knelt and sat under Liu Bian, bowing slightly.

Liu Bian poured tea, organized his words in his mind, and said: "I have been watching the state affairs of Emperor Wu, and now, I think that the Sangong Mansion has become useless, and the power and responsibility of Jiuqing has been encroached on by Shangshutai, and it is declining day by day. Also, the powers and responsibilities are unclear, and the functions are mixed, which is not conducive to state affairs. Simply, re-divide the powers and responsibilities of the Sangongfu and the Jiuqing, keep some, combine them, let them go, and reorganize the order of the court..."

Xun You didn't expect Liu Bian to have thought so much, he was surprised and couldn't help thinking.

The Sangong Mansion was developed from the Prime Minister's Mansion to disperse the power of the Prime Minister.

Later, the rise of Shangshutai invaded the power of the Sangong Mansion, and the Shangshutai continued to grow, and even the power of the Jiuqing was restricted. It can be said that now the Shangshutai is the prime minister's mansion of the great Han. , just the number of people.

Shangshutai, set up Shangshu Ling, then six Shangshu, divided into six Caos, and 36 ministers, basically covering all functions of the Sangong Mansion and Jiuqing, and all government affairs of the Sangong Mansion and Jiuqing are also decided at the Shangshutai .

The Shangshutai is already the central institution of the Han Dynasty!
However, the development of Shangshutai is a kind of "default", which is not legal and reasonable. Therefore, there are many conflicts with the Sangongfu and Jiuqing in terms of power. low.

Xun You thought and thought, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible, but it still needs to be considered in the long run and carefully planned. It can't be done overnight."

Although Shangshutai is already the de facto center, every move involves the power of the courtiers, and there are bound to be many constraints, and if one is not good, it will be dead.

Liu Bian nodded, picked up the teacup, and said, "The Qing family drinks tea."

Xun You hurriedly picked up the teacup, and when Liu Bian asked him a few words, he began to rethink his plan.

Xun You took a sip, put it down quickly, and said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task at the moment is to get rid of the bad government and establish the king's prestige. If the king's prestige is achieved, everything will be easy."

Liu Bian listened and said: "How to establish a monarchy, the Qing family will talk about it in detail."

Xun You straightened up, with a solemn expression, and said: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Huan, the eunuchs have run rampant, seduced the emperor, and misgovernment endlessly. For example, in Xiyuan, the courtiers ordered to go to Xiyuan to pay huge gift money, and the courtiers were poor. , then the appointment is blocked, the virtuous are hindered, and corrupt officials emerge in large numbers. The West Garden is like this, imitated by the upper and lower, and the imperial court and local governments are even worse.

Liu Bian's heart was shocked, and his expression was solemn. .

He knew some of these situations, but from Xun You's words, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

The emperor's greed for money is so blatant and aboveboard, to what extent will the officials of the big man be so rotten?
The most important thing is that the rich and powerful people are all those famous families and local tyrants. Isn't it true that the official positions of the big men are easily monopolized by them? !

Thinking about the local "real princes" again, even if there is no Dong Zhuo, the great Han in history cannot last long in the case of a weak court!
Liu Bian took a deep breath, looked at Xun You solemnly and said, "The Qing family is right, let's continue."

Xun You observed Liu Bian's expression, worried that what he said would make Liu Bian timid, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this is one. Two, the court must be self-reliant. There are barbarians outside, and yellow scarves inside. If we are depressed, we must increase income and reduce expenditure, enrich the treasury, recruit young and strong, and train strong soldiers, only in this way can we strengthen the country and secure the people, and make us a great man!"

'Internal affairs and foreign soldiers? '

Liu Bian already understood what Xun You meant, and it coincided with him.

The current situation of the great Han Dynasty is that the government is corrupt and extremely weak, while the tyrants outside Beijing are everywhere, and the separatist regime is initially appearing, which means that internal troubles and external worries have reached a very dangerous point.

"How to increase revenue and reduce expenditure?" Liu Bian asked.

This is the issue he is most concerned about at the moment. Although the confiscation of the eunuch's family property and the "savings" in the palace can support it for a short time, it is not sustainable. The Dahan treasury needs a stable financial source.

Without hesitation, Xun You said: "Your Majesty, according to my minister's opinion, first, regulate the land and appease the refugees. Second, abolish exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes and formulate reasonable taxes. Third, curb corruption and stabilize the people. Fourth, reclaim wasteland and use soldiers to farm the fields."

Liu Bian's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly he stretched out his hand, beckoned to Pan Yin, and said, "Bring a pen and paper."

Seeing Liu Bian's excitement, Xun You hurriedly said, "After I go back, I will write a detailed memorial to Your Majesty."

Liu Bian couldn't wait any longer, the big man's problem was not a matter of money and food, but the big man's problem needed to be solved with money and food!
Taxation is the most important part!
Pan Yin put the pen and paper on the table, Liu Bian brought it over, and wrote at his desk, casually said: "It is not easy to regulate the land and appease the refugees. Two, two, abolish exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, right? Well, this can be started immediately. Third, combating corruption, I want Yu Yushitai to discuss it carefully. Fourth, reclaim wasteland and use soldiers to farm fields, yes, that’s it, the Qing family will talk about it in detail.”

Liu Bian finished writing in a hurry, put down his pen, looked at Xun You and said.

Xun You saw Liu Bian's seriousness in his eyes, his heart was excited, his face became more serious, and he said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the biggest problem with my king's division is the food and grass, and the treasury is empty, so it has to be transferred from various places, which takes time Not to mention, whether it can be raised is two things. Therefore, if you station troops in a certain place and use them to reclaim wasteland, it will not only solve the problem of money and food, but also save a lot for the court. It will be transferred to the people in the future, which is also good governance... "

Get it in one fell swoop!
Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, and he remembered that this is what Cao Cao did in history!
And Xun You is Cao Cao's counselor!
'Big talent! '

Liu Bian was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Okay! Qing family, in this way, write down all your thoughts on state affairs, not only your own, but also the government and the public, and all the pros and cons of state affairs. I want to see it. Besides, Pan Yin, are there any official vacancies in Shangshutai?"

Pan Yin was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Bian had already got up.
