Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 365 Determination
Needle drop could be heard throughout the hall.

No one who can stand here is ordinary.

It can be seen at a glance that the New Deal is aimed at them.

The imperial examination is acceptable. After all, those who can study these days are not ordinary people.

However, the methods of applying talents according to their abilities and conducting evaluations are simply too obvious.

The subsequent removal of counties and divisions of states will directly reveal their old background.

Liu Qun, who is a minister, sighed, "Back then, Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, and He Yanzhi were just starting to reorganize the system, and they were exactly the same as your highness."

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Isn't Cao Shuang a famous incompetent idiot in history?To have such a forward-thinking vision.

Since ancient times, success means everything is right; failure means everything is wrong.

Cao Shuang implemented Zhengshi restructuring when the gentry was at its strongest, and when he met someone of Sima Yi's level, it was understandable that he failed.

And his failure also represented the failure of the entire Cao Wei's last self-salvation.

History enters a darker moment.

"Cao Shuang went against the will of nature, so he suffered this defeat. Your Highness is determined to forge ahead and innovate to become stronger, which is beneficial to the country and the people. However, the relationship between this system is too great. The country has experienced wars for a long time, and peace can only last half a year. If this system is implemented, it will only last for half a year." I'm afraid... something unexpected will happen here." Zheng Lang, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with his hands in hand.

The county was the lifeblood of the nobles.

Now that Li Yue wants to cut off their lifeblood, they will naturally not remain indifferent.

In their eyes, the previous suppression of the powerful was just a small fight. The powerful were scattered, while the nobles were entrenched in the prefectures and counties. They were powerful. Behind closed doors, they had knives, food, people, and craftsmen, enough to produce their own goods.

Zhan Shi Liu Yi cupped his hands and said: "The Han practiced Huang Lao's method and ruled by doing nothing, so it was as strong as the two Han Dynasties. The Qin's reforms, although they wiped out the six kingdoms, were destroyed in an instant. Your Highness must take this as a warning."

"I hope Your Highness will take this as a warning." Nearly half of the courtiers held their hands.

Even Shen Zhong, who always followed Li Yue's lead, fell silent.

If Li Yue only wanted to unify the Northern Kingdom and be a free and easy king for decades, everything he had done now was enough. With the dividends of suppressing the powerful, in a few more years, he would have the strength to unify the Northern Kingdom.

However, the root causes of disease left since the Wei and Jin Dynasties have not been eliminated.

After two or three generations, I am afraid that we will have to go back to the old path of Wei and Jin.

In a word, if you don't do it yourself, it will be impossible for the second and third generations.

And Li Yue's ambitions are by no means limited to an enhanced version of Cao Wei or Northern Wei.

"You only know that Qin II died, but you don't know that the Qin system has been implemented in all dynasties. If the Han Dynasty really ruled without doing anything, how could it defeat the Huns and penetrate the Western Regions? I really want to take a warning, but I take the warning of Wei and Jin. Pi How can General Mao be attached to him if he doesn't exist? If the country is not strong, how can there be a place for the nobles like you? Reorganization is imperative!" Li Yue slapped his hand on the table.

Originally, this court meeting was just to communicate with them and test things out, but not really listen to their advice.

Which innovation in history was not arbitrary?

What kind of innovation can we call harmony?
Hexagram 64 of the Book of Changes says: The sun is now prosperous, Yuan Henry is pure, and he regrets his death.

Revolution means reform. Water and fire interact with each other to make things more effective. If the king is ordered to correct the situation, he will change his attitude, so it is called reform!
To do big things, you must have the courage to do big things. It is definitely not okay to always think about being a coward in the back.

Li Yue needs to express his attitude to them so that he will have supporters.

"Your Highness has a grand plan. If the innovation is completed, everything will be solid in Daliang. I second your opinion!" It was Shen Zhong who was the first to stand up.

"I second the proposal!" Liu Qun followed closely.

Then the other half of the people in the court followed suit and said, "I second my opinion!"

"Our great beams are in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. If you want to surpass the previous generation, you must not rest on your laurels. You must work together with Gu Miaoli to move forward and create a magnificent and prosperous era!"

People must have ideals, and so must a country.

The Western Jin Dynasty basically had no external troubles, so there was constant internal fighting, and almost everyone who wanted to do something had their tribes wiped out.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty lay flat and settled on the left side of the Yangtze River. From time to time, they clamored for the Northern Expedition. When encountering some setbacks, they collapsed thousands of miles... The Liang Kingdom must not be like them.

"I would like to go with His Highness!" the young officials became excited.

Liu Qun, on the other hand, looked worried.

Li Yue knew that things would never be that simple. Judging from the posture of the court meeting, the resistance would definitely not be small.

But no matter how big it is, it must be implemented.

In a way, now is the best time.

Yan State did not have the strength to go south, and the Northern Expedition to Jiangdong ceased. Di Qin plowed deep into Guanzhong and was unable to go east. Dai Guo and Zhang Ping were just two troublemakers, which did no harm.

The powerful players in the country have also been suppressed, and new powerful players are still growing.

If you don't take action now, when will you wait?
Liang Guo's progress was not only in the territory, land and cities, but also in the system.

In the past, I had to help Ran Min to cross the river, but now I have to go forward by myself. If I don't move against the current, I will perish!

Li Yue directly ordered the Shangshutai to take charge of the division of counties and prefectures, and also placed several talented people from this year's imperial examination among them.

Half of these people came from Wang Meng's command.

There are also the common people from poor families that Li Yue deliberately selected...

Dongping County, Shouchang County.

The spring snow has not yet melted, and it is freezing cold.

However, Wang Meng still patrolled the place with hundreds of guards. He did not choose the county town or the county town, but a small village in Shouchang.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness Wang Liang and Wang Shijun, the little man can have enough food and clothing." An old man of 64 years old poured the chopped meat into the cauldron and cooked it with the corn porridge.

The two grandsons hid behind their legs, drooling uncontrollably, but looked nervously at Wang Meng and the tall and powerful Heiyun General beside him.

After a while, the aroma of meat and porridge mixed together, curling up, and the whole thatched house became warm.

Wang Meng glanced at the old man's tattered clothes, and then at the straw sandals with exposed toes of his two grandchildren. The look on his face did not relax, "Where are the children's parents?"

"Replying to the envoy, I went out to fish and pick. This year, the government will let go of the mountains and rivers. Taking advantage of the fact that there are no corvees in the winter, I can get some fresh mountain products."

"Very good, very good." Wang Meng finally looked happy.

Just as he was about to ask something else, he heard a noise outside the house.

"Is your Majesty here?"

Wang Meng hurriedly went out. The three messengers quickly dismounted and bowed on one knee in the snow. One of them held a letter in his hands, "Your Highness has a secret message."

Wang Meng was about to pick him up, but was suddenly stopped by Yang Lue beside him, "Which battalion are you brothers from?"

Secret letters must either go to the Su Wei Army or the School Affairs Office.

But these people were wearing scout clothes, and their faces were very unfamiliar.

Yang Lue is the captain of the school affairs office. He knows all the school affairs officials around Li Yue, but he has never seen these three people.

"The Suwei army has already set up camp and led Jingshun!" The man who believed in the letter lowered his head.

But all three of them tensed up like leopards.

Wang Meng has been traveling all over the world for many years with a sword in hand. He is by no means a scholar without the power to restrain a chicken. He also saw that there was something wrong with the three of them and winked at the guard next to him.

The guards moved slowly and surrounded the three people.

"Who are you?" Yang Lue pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and stepped closer to the two soldiers.

"General, why did you say this? We are...killing the thief!" The leader suddenly shouted and tore open the letter in his hand, revealing a gleaming dagger, with a faint greenish edge on the dagger's edge. .
