I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 291 Prepare for the coming year
The doctorate of Taixue is one level lower in official rank than the six hundred stone flat order, but it is more noble. However, for Li Ru, who wants to pursue utility rather than fame, the two are not the same. .

There is naturally a reason why Liu Bian chose Li Ru.

There are no fools among the big businessmen of the Han family, especially those who dare to make profits by manipulating prices. There may be some kind of backer behind them.

Dr. Li Ru was born, a Confucian scholar who was accomplished in Confucian classics. He suppressed unscrupulous businessmen because of his natural status. In game terms, there was a damage bonus.

As for whether Li Ru has the courage to do this? The answer is self-evident.

Liu Bian's biggest doubt is about Li Ru's ability. This can only be seen in a wait-and-see manner!

After Li Ru became the Pingzhen Order, the Taixue discussion came to an end.

Many scholars saw the concessions made by the imperial court and were proud of their efforts. The emperor heard their voices and revised the national policy, and they were very excited.

Just so proud.

After the edict was issued, the price of wine in Luoyang increased.

In this way, scholars, especially young scholars with great ambitions, were naturally more willing to become officials.

A small number of them saw that Tai students started from small village officials and brought great prosperity to the countryside in Luoyang County, so they chose to follow suit. Luoyang, which is already in great control, does not need them, but their hometown does.

This was something Liu Bian did not expect. But this is also very reasonable. According to the Confucian ethos of this era, no matter what the reality is, it is Confucian political correctness to be friendly to the countryside and educate the countryside.

After discovering this trend, Liu Bian secretly used some means to praise this behavior. There are almost no scholars who can rush to Luoyang to participate in the Taixue debate. They either have family backgrounds or have knowledge. When these people choose to become the lowest-level rural officials they originally looked down on, those powerful and literate children are no longer the same. They are completely uncompetitive.

And these scholars who are willing to take the initiative to become rural officials will not do worse anyway.

Of course, there are also those who are dissatisfied because the equal loss law has not been completely abolished. But in the context of the overall celebration, this sound seems a bit unpleasant.

After all, the Salt and Iron Debate back then only abolished the liquor monopoly. Compared with this, the concessions made by Junfa today are too obvious.

It's obviously a win, right?

In this carnival of scholars, it is impossible for all the talents valued by Liu Bian to go directly to other places like Chen Gong.

Corresponding to Liu Bian's continuous efforts to attract talents into the bureaucracy, Liu Bian is often stuffed into the censor's desk of celebrities, and is often stuffed into the minister's desk of worthy talents worth cultivating. He is often... oh, just As a backup, the Visitor Platform lacked a sense of presence before...

Although these three stations were coming in and out, they were still full early.

To this end, Liu Bian also "invented" a new position for the extra talents, calling those who are not full of talents as Yuanwailang.

The reason why Liu Bian did not arrange these people in the more suitable Third Department to become Lang Guan was that he naturally planned to use them in the name of Three Departments. Among them, Shangshutai served as Liu Bian's external brain, but Yezhetai changed. Became the main force.

The visitor is the guest in charge who praises and accepts the matter, conveys it to the emperor, and reports questions in the previous chapter; there are also the visitor who is the main attendant of the season and majesty of the season, and the visitor Pushe who is responsible for management.

Each of these responsibilities is duplicated by other government offices, the most typical of which is Huangmen Shilang, whose responsibilities are very similar.

It's just that the Huangmen Shilang is subordinate to the Shaofu, and the Yezhe Terrace is subordinate to the Weiwei.

This is also a major feature of the official offices of the Later Han Dynasty, with duplication of powers and responsibilities and staggered checks and balances.

It will soon be the third year of Liu Bian's accession to the throne, and it will also be the last year in which he will be exempted from oral duties. After a year of silence, Liu Bian naturally wanted to send envoys again to see the situation in the place.

The second round of nationwide rectification of officialdom is about to begin.

In order to provide manpower for this large-scale inspection, Liu Biancai re-lifted the audience platform.

With so many manpower prepared, this time Liu Bian did not plan to send censors on a prefectural basis. After all, a prefecture was still too large, with different populations and areas.

For large counties like Runan and Yingchuan with a population of over one million, it is natural to send special personnel to take charge and go deep into the countryside to conduct detailed investigations. Of course, it is a matter of course to investigate the officials.

In this way, it is bound to be able to find problems better than the combination of a state's censor and a school official.

If in this third year, there are still people in the countryside who do not enjoy Liu Bian's policy of exempting oral taxes, then don't blame Liu Bian for being ruthless and killing people.

Internal reform is the same as fighting a war. The more money and food, the better. Liu Bian will never dislike the lack of money for confiscating homes.

This time, as long as the local situation is not too outrageous, at least at the county magistrate level of three to four hundred stones and above, there will be no need to worry about no one filling the gap.

Liu Bian can also attack corrupt officials without any scruples.

Otherwise, why would Liu Bian meet and remember the names and deeds of the talents one by one.

In the place where he rested in the Yuntai Hall, there were three screens with names written on them. One was the governor with two thousand stones, the other was the courtiers with more than six hundred stones, and the third was the talents who were going to the place on his behalf.

Whether the talented people are talented or not will be known next year.

……

In Wuwei County, Liangzhou, Huangfu Song organized the army to complete the last display of armaments before leading his army back to the army to scare Xiao Xiao secretly.

In Cangwu County, Jiaozhi Province, Zhu Jun collected evidence of the crimes of the wealthy Cangwu County family headed by the Shi family, and he actually discovered the slightest connection between the former and the Cangwu people, so he clenched his sword and continued to investigate.

In Runan County, Yuzhou, Tian Feng looked at the slaves being escorted in front of him. These people had numb faces and allowed themselves to be driven away by the county soldiers sent to assist by Runan Prefect Xu Wei.

With a slight sigh, Tian Feng looked at the account book in his hand again. This was the proceeds from the confiscation of the house. Even if the land, house, and slaves were not included, the goods hoarded by Runan, a big businessman who became a Junsu official, were worth more than 20 million yuan. . Tian Feng understood why this person dared to be so desperate. He knew that Jun lost the official position and was noticed by many people, but he still took the risk for no other reason than profit.

This also made Tian Feng's sense of these big businessmen lower again.

Tian Feng, who had presided over this matter in Jingzhou, estimated that the remaining proceeds from the confiscation, excluding the land and slaves, would total more than 60 million yuan. No wonder the emperor had considered what would happen after the confiscation before setting off.

Money and silk also move people's hearts.

Tian Feng made up his mind that although merchants had a low status in his mind, they were still common people after all. After returning to the court, he still had to advise the emperor. He could not take advantage of merchants without any reason, which would be detrimental to the governance of the country.

Of course, in Tian Feng's view, the more raids on homes like this, the better.

While Tian Feng was thinking, the slaves had already assembled.

He walked up to the highest platform and shouted: "From now on, you are no longer slaves!"
