Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Replacement of Shaodi

Qin Bin led his troops through Tongguan into Chang’an, joined Chen Qingzhi, and after some praise, Qin Bin appointed Chen Qingzhi as a guerrilla general of the royal palace and ordered him to lead a 2,000 white-robed army to take the entire Jingzhaoyin.

Judging from the map, there are a total of seven county-level jurisdictions under the jurisdiction of the commander of the division, namely Hedong County, Henan Yin and Hanoi County east of Hangu Pass, Hongnong County south of Hangu Pass, and Jingzhao Yin, Right Fufeng and Zuo Feng Yi west of Hangu Pass.

Chang’an, on the other hand, was the seat of Jing Zhaoyin.

Therefore, Chang’an City has the household registration of the entire Jing Zhaoyin on record.

After receiving Chang’an, Qin Bin checked Jing Zhaoyin’s household registration, taxes, and other records, and after checking, Qin Bin knew how decayed and rotten Jing Zhaoyin was now.

Along with Qin Bin were Lu Zhi and Wang Anshi who sorted out household registration, taxes and other files.

Lu Zhi looked at the record on the bamboo tablet, and also sighed a little, “These files were re-listed after the Liangzhou Rebellion last year, and they are reliable if you think about it, but people can’t imagine ah, the huge Jing Zhaoyin actually has a population of less than 300,000 at this time, there are many exorbitant taxes and taxes, and redundant officials and officials are flooded, I don’t know what it is!” ”

Saying that, Lu Zhi angrily threw the bamboo Jian in his hand.

Qin Bin also sighed and said, “Jing Zhaoyin is subordinate to the division, it is the center of the Great Han, and the land of Gyeonggi is still like this, and the other states and counties must not be much better, or even more rotten.” It is no wonder that in the past ten years, there have been continuous rebellions in Han, and the yellow turbans have risen one after another, and they have been eradicated endlessly. ”

Wang Anshi, who was sitting on the other side, also spoke at this time, “Lord, the political affairs and people’s livelihood have eroded to this extent, and the building is about to fall, if you don’t take a dose of heavy medicine, I may not be able to last long.” ”

Qin Bin and Lu Zhi both bowed their heads in agreement, and Qin Bin even said, “It’s time to change the law and innovate.” Since Emperor Guangwu, the law of the Great Han has not changed for more than two hundred years. ”

After a pause, Qin Bin said solemnly, “So be it.” In the future, the land tax will be tentatively set at 30 taxes and 10 taxes on commerce, and the labor force will be abolished and changed to a hired system, and the salt and iron grain will be officially operated, and the price must be bought by ordinary peasant households.

In addition, the population is counted and identity plates are issued, and the people must show their identity plates when purchasing salt and iron grain from the government.

Introduce it, and write it down, you will improve it later, and we will discuss it. ”

“Oh.” After Wang Anshi answered, he began to record.

Qin Bin added, “The official system and the military system must also change the law. The royal palace has a cabinet, similar to the position of Shang Shutai. There is one chief assistant, which is equivalent to the prime minister, and four second assistants, second only to the first assistant.

The Inner Branch has set up eight departments, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. The chief officials of each ministry are called Shangshu, and Shangshu’s deputy is the left and right attendants.

I will sort out a dossier on the functions of each ministry later.

There are also some functions that need to be subdivided, subdivided into divisions, with the chief officer of each division set up as a chief of the department, and the chief of the department set up left and right attendants.

There is also a staff department, which I personally manage. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Bin thought about it again, and then asked Xiang Wang Anshi, “Jiefu, you refine this official system, by the way, do you understand the nine-grade system of the official grade system?” ”

Wang Anshi fixed the pen in his hand and replied, “Your subordinates know very well, and they will be recorded in the new law later.” ”

Of course, Wang Anshi understood, and even the changes proposed by Qin Bin he knew very well, because these changes were a deepening of the three-province six-ministry system that developed to the peak during the Tang and Song Dynasties, but the functions of the ‘three provinces’ were summarized into the cabinet, and the six ministries were also refined into two departments, presumably in the future.

However, Lu Zhi had never heard of this new system, and was looking at Qin Bin with glowing eyes at this time.

Qin Bin nodded, “Very good.” By the way, the five-year system of the first assistant of the cabinet, the first assistant must be recommended by the vote of the secretary and attendant of each ministry after five years, and the first assistant will be re-elected after more than half of the votes, otherwise the first assistant will be re-recommended and voted, a new chief assistant will be elected, and the cabinet will be reorganized.

King Ben retains a veto.

The details are further explained afterwards, focusing on fairness and fairness. ”

Wang Anshi waved the pen in his hand and quickly said, “Junshang, I have written it down.” ”

Qin Bin said again, “Regarding the knighthood system, if you don’t see your origin, you can get a knighthood if you make meritorious achievements. The title was changed to the Spring and Autumn period of the seven grades of king, duke, hou, earl, son, male, and xun, each level is divided into three grades, and there is a inheritance system, when the descendants inherit the title of their ancestors, they are demoted to inheritance, the prince is demoted to a duke, and the duke is demoted to a marquis, until there is no inheritance of the title and then demoted to a commoner. ”

Wang Anshi said approvingly, “This is a very good move, it can reduce the appearance of redundant lords, and it can also motivate the subjects to improve.” ”

Qin Bin said, “That’s what I originally meant, and besides, the knighthood fief was changed to a fictitious fief, and the knighthood could only enjoy half of the taxes of the fief, and had no military power and governance power.

Officials of all ranks and knighthoods are based on high salaries and integrity, of course, severe punishment laws are indispensable as a warning.

However, now I am only the king of Hongnong and have no knighthood power, so the new knighthood law is temporarily sealed after it is perfected.

Introduction, for the time being, you refine and improve, we will discuss, if there is no problem, then this new set of laws will be directly trialed. ”

Wang Anshi replied, “Your subordinates take orders.” ”

Qin Bin suddenly looked up at Wang Anshi and said solemnly, “Jiefu, the status of hundreds of officials is the same, don’t make any heavy and martial arts.” ”

Wang Anshi paused for a moment, and hurriedly said, “Your subordinates understand that they will not disappoint Junshang. ”

Wang Anshi also understood what Qin Bin’s warning meant, he was a native of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he knew how big the drawbacks of Chongwen suppressed martial arts.

It’s just that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the idea of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts, using culture to control martial arts has become the custom, and even politics ~ governance is correct, he also wanted to change this in the Northern Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, in that environment, Wang Anshi could not do anything no matter how capable he was.

Fortunately, the Han Dynasty did not have this custom of self-abolition of martial arts, as long as the civil and military were divided and the imperial court controlled the food and pay of the garrisons in various places, it could greatly reduce the emergence of clan and town separation.

Lu Zhi on the side did not understand what Qin Bin meant, after all, in the Han Dynasty, the status of military attachés has always been very high, and the status of military attachés in special periods is higher than that of civil officials.

However, Lu Zhi did not make a sound, just continued to think deeply about the change proposed by Qin Bin, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he praised Qin Bin.

Finally, he said, “Your Highness, if this set of changes is implemented throughout the country, it may only take five years, and the Han will reappear in the trend of ZTE.” ”

Qin Bin smiled and shook his head, “It’s impossible to implement the whole country, don’t say that I’m just the king of Hongnong now, even if I am still the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to implement it.”

Most of this set of changes will touch the interests of those gatekeepers, and if the changes are promoted through the imperial court at this time, I am sure that the whole world will be opposed. ”

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement with Wang Anshi, and Lu Zhi sighed and said, “Alas, the Gate Valve Clan has forgotten the original meaning of ‘Shi’…”

Qin Bin shook his head and said, “That’s why I have to wait to set things right, to paraphrase Zhang Zihou’s words, I should set up my heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to study for the saints, and open peace for all generations!” ”

“Your Highness (Your Highness) is righteous!!”
