The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 81 Liu Han’s transformation ([-])
Execute and punish.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has not yet broken out, and it is too early to think about anything now. However, Liu Han's stated goal has not changed. With the help of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he must first consolidate his strength in Bingzhou; second, he must take the opportunity to dig out the blood-sucking blood attached to the big man. Third, let Zhang Jiao plow all the small wealthy families in several states. It is best to eradicate some large noble families.

As for other possibilities of fishing in troubled waters, you have to act by ear and act on your own because although the emperor brother can be unscrupulous at certain times, he must always be measured, otherwise it will be difficult for the emperor brother to do it, and a rift will arise between the brothers, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Liu Han continued to follow the same train of thought and thought about changing the system.

If you want to change the status quo, you must establish a new one in the social system that can allow the previously fixed means of production and social resources to flow.

Transfer social conflicts, the conflicts between the gentry and ordinary people. Although the gentry controls the means of production, the biggest advantage of the common people over the gentry is that they have more people.

If the monopoly power of the nobles is broken, the common people have the opportunity to contact and become new nobles, and the nobles are tired of defending the breakthroughs of the common people. Only by allowing the two to consume each other can we avoid the continuous penetration of the power center by the nobles.

"The imperial examination system."

Liu Han wrote three words again.

Obviously the imperial examination system is a good method, but can it really be done?

The imperial examination system was a kind of progress. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was implemented under the continuous high pressure of Tang Gaozu and Tang Taizong.This system has three key points.First, scholars can register for the examination on their own and no longer need the recommendation of current officials. Second, each examination must be held regularly. Third, a set of strict examination standards must be formulated.

The implementation of the imperial examination system in the early Tang Dynasty indeed curbed the number of elites and soldiers, but what the emperor did not expect was that those students who were born among ordinary people and became emerging elites would defect.

They did not choose to maintain their original class, but chose to unite with the established gentry and re-lock the imperial examination system.

The gentry could not set limits on the imperial examination system, so they set limits on the entire educational resources.Even if ordinary scholars study by themselves to participate in the imperial examination, they must first obtain the recommendation of local officials. Even if you are talented and intelligent, you must be recognized by the noble families. Only by marrying into these families or becoming their disciples and staff can you have a chance to advance. The threshold for entering the imperial examination.

Even if you are extremely lucky and pass the imperial examination by chance, you should choose to join any gentry family, so that you can know who your enemies are and who your friends are.

If you don't join, the entire court will be your enemy.

This is the conspiracy set by a wealthy family for the students all over the world.

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was successful because it did curb the growth of the gentry in the early stage, but it also failed. Once the gentry adapted to the game and relied on their innate advantages, they finally regained control of the court.

Eventually the Anshi Rebellion led to the collapse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, the number of officials in the court from gentry dropped to 56%. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the birth of new gentry once again favored the old gentry. The number of officials in the court related to gentry was as high as 89%, which was higher than that in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Even more so.

"When autumn comes on September [-]th, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom.

The incense in the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor. "

Huang Chao used blood and fire to cleanse the noble clans of the old era. Whenever a noble clan was found, he would kill the entire clan.

After the Huangchao Rebellion, the phenomenon of "regardless of family background in selecting scholars, and regardless of family background in marriage" appeared in the world.

Through history, Liu Han slowly sorted out his own thinking.

The noble clan must be cleaned up, and they must not be allowed to develop into a state where the imperial power becomes a decoration.

But the gentry cannot all be cleaned up, and they cannot be killed like Huang Chao, because then there will be no one to help govern the world.

privilege!

Production means and social resources!
In order to curb the gentry, we must find ways to cancel the privileges of the gentry and redistribute the means of production and social resources. However, doing so will inevitably lead to an all-out counterattack by the gentry. "chaos."

Only when there is chaos can opportunities be found, great righteousness can be achieved, crimes can be punished, and the nobles and nobles occupying the place can be eliminated. Only by destroying their vitality can they have no chance to hinder themselves from reforming society, and can the means of production be guaranteed. sloping downward.

At the same time, the privileges in the hands of the nobles were continuously taken back to the country, such as salt and iron and other strategic materials, such as land, and private soldiers and tenants in the hands of the nobles.

Skip the nine-level Zhongzheng system and directly implement the imperial examination system. At the same time, we will formulate laws to limit the privileges of officials, conduct supervision, and lock power in a cage.

Of course, all of this is a general direction, and the specific implementation will be discussed later. Moreover, there are so many things that you may not be able to do even if you spend your whole life.

"A long way to go!"

With deep exhaustion, Liu Han fell asleep in the room.

#
The next day, Jushou, Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, and Dong Zhao, who were worried about Liu Han, came early in the morning to ask for an audience, and saw Liu Han with two big black circles under his eyes.

"My lord, your health is important."

Tian Feng thought Liu Han had just taken over Bingzhou and had been handling official affairs all night.

"Don't worry Yuan Hao, I'm just thinking about some questions and have some ideas," Liu Han said, looking at everyone: "You guys came here together, why are you here?"

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Jushou stood up and said: "My lord, I know that my lord has great ambitions, but there are some things that cannot be rushed. My lord needs to know that we don't have that many people under our hands now to take over their work."

"Yes, my lord, the five counties in the north are easy to talk about. The south, especially Taiyuan and Shangdang, they have strength and prestige in the local area. If they get entangled, they can't suppress it with just the few people under their command. Even if they can suppress it, Our casualties will also be considerable."

"."

Several counselors under Liu Han did not take a good rest after the meeting. Instead, they gathered together to discuss that it was a good thing for the place to be bigger, but when it became bigger, more manpower was needed, and if they wanted to train a qualified person from civilians, It takes at least ten years to find a helper, but you can find a good helper from the nobles.

Last year, the lord's actions had caused dissatisfaction among the local nobles, but due to the great righteousness, these people had liaisons with foreigners. At this juncture, they were worthy of death, and the Bingzhou nobles had to endure it even if they were not happy.

But now, if they continue to act as they did last year, the nobles in Bingzhou are likely to gather together to disobey and rebel, and the originally peaceful Bingzhou will inevitably restart the war.

Too dangerous!

"I know the good intentions of all gentlemen, and I am very grateful to you. Not only are you willing to stand by me, but you also consider me in every aspect. After thinking deeply last night, I also know that it was indeed too radical before.

Therefore, I also plan not to be so radical, but to proceed step by step, find evidence and deal with all the nobles who oppressed the people. Those who have not committed any crime, if they want to cooperate with me, then accept my conditions. If not, we will For the time being, the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. "

"Here!"

Liu Han's words temporarily put down the stone hanging in the hearts of all the counselors. They were afraid that Liu Han would directly do something drastic.

(Good night means that I am closed and not open to the public. It has nothing to do with whether I sleep or not. I hope you know.

Good night everyone!

Today is Chinese Valentine’s Day!
I wish lovers will get married eventually! )
