"Tell me, what does Aiqing think about this," Liu Che asked with a smile.
What can Chao Cuo think?
As a Legalist politician, Chao Cuo is different from Zhou Yafu, he will never fight the emperor At least, there will be no confrontation with the emperor on this matter What Legalism pursues is always to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
As long as this purpose is not violated, the politicians of the Legalists will bend to the will of the king.
Chao Cuo almost immediately expressed his position and bowed: "The minister is only the order of His Majesty" Liu Che waved his hand and said to Chao Cuo: "What I want is not blind obedience, I hope that Qing can understand the importance and urgency of this official reform."
"Since Emperor Gao, China's official positions have been based on the rank of Yulu" "And there is a rank and a fight for food" "Those who have rank are officials, and those who fight are officials" "Since I ascended the throne, I have often worried about this, fearing that something bad will happen in the future" "If the officials are not clear, the world will be in chaos" Liu Che took a breath and explained his reform intentions like a mistake.
Since his accession to the throne, Liu Che has realized that the Han family actually suffered from the same disease as the Ming Dynasty.
The name of this disease is called Official's Low Syndrome.
The bureaucracy is the most terrible and at the same time the most terrifying force in the world.
They can thrive a country, or they can easily destroy a powerful empire in an instant.
They are a collection of all the evil and squalor of the world.
Even the demons of hell, the devils of the underworld, may not be as dark as the bureaucrats.
Because, even if it is a demon and a devil, at least there is a bottom line and fear.
But the bureaucrats have nothing to fear, no bottom line.
Selfishness to the extreme No ruler or king should have any hopes or expectations for the bureaucracy.
Never be afraid to speculate on their actions and actions with the most malicious attitude, so that it is possible to make the country develop in a healthy direction, otherwise In any case, all those who have had hopes and hopes for the bureaucracy in history have died miserably.
For example, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and the old elder with his tongue sticking out There is also Guangxu, who probably doesn't know how he died until he died And against the bureaucracy, sticks, knives and guns alone are of little use.
Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless enough But are the bureaucrats honest Not really No matter how hard you wield the butcher's knife, corrupt officials and corrupt officials will always sing against you, and there will always be an endless stream.
History tells Liu Che that against the bureaucracy, relying on a butcher's knife alone will not work, and once you step down, their backlash and counteroffensive will bury all your efforts with unprecedented speed.
Even smearing, denigrating, and distorting all your actions.
A similar situation has happened more than once in the long history of China.
Qin Shi Huang, Wu Zetian, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongzheng all verified this.
There is no need for Liu Che to prove it again.
Yes, there are not many choices left for Liu Che.
Before this, Liu Che had already severely cracked down on and suppressed the bureaucracy, and several major cases had brought countless people to the ground.
A more emerging group of examiners cleared the way and formed a whole new interest group.
And similar suppression and purge, so far, has actually almost reached a critical point.
New bureaucracies are rising, old bureaucracies are leaving, the state order is being reshaped, and the rules of the game are being rewritten.
If Liu Che again kills these new bureaucrats and severely cracks down.
So, judging from the current situation, who can take over?
Before the rise of the newer bureaucracy, Liu Che could only cooperate with the existing bureaucracy.
And how to cooperate It is the lowly begging of them, for the world, for the country, for the nation, to put down the mustard, sincerely unite, and forge ahead together Well, that might touch a lot of people.
At least initially, Liu Che believes that the effect will be great but After a long time, not even ten years, Liu Che is sure that there will be problems.
And if something goes wrong, the entire bureaucracy will quickly decay and degenerate for decades.
As the story goes: the young warrior finally defeated the dragon and brought hope to the world, but soon, the warrior became the new dragon.
The story alludes to a seemingly unsolvable cycle.
And stubborn insistence on one's own views will only bring greater disaster.
Pinch the bureaucrats by the necks and want the bureaucrats to be honest and honest The corpse of the self-defeating alliance is the best warning to Liu Che If he wanted to prevent the Han family from becoming the self-defeating alliance, Liu Che could only choose to increase and improve the treatment of Han officials.
The main purpose of this bureaucratic reform is also to further buy and win over and unite the bureaucracy.
Again, unite the majority and strike at a handful.
And how to unite is, of course, dependent on tangible benefits.
It can't be just a fool of empty words Of course, how to give benefits also needs to be thought about.
Like Song Ming, kneeling on the ground and licking civil officials and bureaucrats, hoping that these uncles can raise their noble hands and help a group of emperors and the people of the world.
That's a fool's dream.

The bureaucracy will only keep asking for more.
Until you can't satisfy their appetite, or they feel it's time for a new master.
After thinking about it, Liu Che could only draw inspiration from Shang Jun's reform and the many successful experiences of later generations.
Moreover, the salaries of Han officials are indeed a little too low Let's take Jiuqing as an example.
The Jiuqing of the Han family, according to the system, belongs to the middle 2,000 stones, that is, the full 2,000 stones.
Their annual salary is 2,160 husks of corn, and their monthly salary is 180 hus.
The other 2,000 stone courtiers other than Jiuqing are really 2,000 stones, the annual salary is 1,800 hundred, and the monthly salary is 150 hundred.
The county guard and the county lieutenant are 2,000 stones, the monthly salary is 120 hundred, and the annual salary is 1,400 hundred.
Well, that is to say, a state-level leader like Jiuqing, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Han Empire, and a member of the cabinet, is only 30 taels of corn and 60 grains of corn at the ministerial level, and only 60 taels of corn and county level.
What's even more terrifying is that a slightly larger county order of the Han family costs 1,000 stones, which is equivalent to 75 taels of corn per month If you convert this money into money.
According to the current rice price, a Jiuqing, who has an annual salary of 2,000 stones, only has a salary of only 100,000 yuan His monthly salary is only nine thousand It is not as good as the income of a small merchant with a shop in Chang'an City And the county guard's salary, converted into money, is only five or six thousand a month The county order was even worse, only about 3,000 five baht was not enough for the salary of a slightly qualified carpenter.
Terrible, right?
A self-defeating alliance in later generations also ended up like this The salary of a national leader is not much different from the salary of an ordinary worker or professor.
And once this perception is recognized in the hearts of the bureaucrats, then they will definitely tell the world loudly: how can such a country not die The Han Empire also had such a disease.
Of course, Liu Bang can't be blamed for this.
After all, Liu Bang couldn't have imagined that there would be today When Liu Bang was alive, he, the emperor, might not be able to squander the five baht of one hundred thousand yuan, and at that time, the treasury was poor.
Moreover, the price of rice was particularly high at that time.
For a period of time in Guanzhong, the stone rice was 3,000 yuan.
Even in the later Lu period, the price of rice in Guanzhong maintained a high level of hundreds of dollars per stone all year round.
The decline in the price of rice in the world was a matter in the middle and late reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.
Therefore, in the later period of Taizong, corruption in Chang'an officialdom became commonplace, and even in the court, there were constant bribes.
There is almost nothing that is not greedy.
The hero of the reform, the most important politician in the Taizong period, and the prime minister of Beiping Hou Zhang Cang, also did things to fill his own pockets and give and receive privately.
During the Emperor Wu Dynasty, among the secretaries, except for Gongsun Hong, who adhered to his principles and did not accept bribes, all the other famous ministers basically took advantage of others.
The famous general Wei Qing even helped the ranger leader Guo Xie lobby.
But what can they do The imperial court opened so much money that he couldn't even support his family Gongsun Hong has been honest all his life, and the result is that he is a dignified prime minister, seventy years old, and the blankets he sleeps on are very old, and he can only wear patched clothes at home Therefore, after Liu Che ascended the throne, he tried to give benefits to officials.
Through various allowances and subsidies and other benefits, it is barely enough to maintain the income of imperial officials at a relatively reasonable level.
At the very least, with these allowances and subsidies, it is enough for them to support their families and provide their children with a relatively secure life But that's not enough Thousands of miles to become an official, in addition to ideals and ambitions, more people come for wealth and nobility.
As the old saying goes: learn literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family.
Since it is a sale, the level of the offer price directly affects the quality of the goods.
After all, you want the horses to run again, and you want the horses not to eat grass, where is such a good thing People work hard and study hard in the cold, not so that their wives and children can eat chaff and vegetables, live in dilapidated houses, and shiver in winter.
But it is impossible for any man to sit idly by and watch such a situation happen.
Therefore, Liu Che has been preparing for today's reform.
He wants to reverse this trend, let officials enjoy sufficient financial freedom, and let officials' children, wives and children get certain treatment and privileges.
Of course, Liu Che will not follow Song Ming's example, giving too many privileges to officials and scholars, which is looking for death The best way is to learn the essence of Shangjun's reforms, and then refer to the advanced and successful experience of later generations, cooperate with each other, and then implement them in the policy.
The reason why Shang Jun's reform of the law was successful was that it stimulated and encouraged the ambition and greed in the hearts of human beings.
The 20-level military merit lord famous field house system, as well as the supporting complete social status and treatment and the corresponding reward and punishment mechanism, shaped the unique tiger and wolf empire in history, Daqin And the successful experience of later generations also shows that bureaucrats belong to the kind of strange thing that fights and walks.
If you don't beat it and smoke it, you won't have a long memory, and you won't know what to do.
All kinds of haha with you, grinding foreign workers, and even yang and yin.
Of course, this is based on the fact that the status of an official itself is privileged and lucrative.
Otherwise, if the attraction is not enough, people will choose not to bend their waists for five buckets of rice at any time.
However, Liu Che couldn't talk too carefully about these things, and he couldn't even elaborate on his goals in detail.
He could only say vaguely: "Shuyun: For the seven rebellious ministers, indulge in morality, and not lose the world, and now the scholars and ministers are exhausted, sleeping, and I am the ruler of the world, and I can't make the monarchs have enough food and clothing, beautiful accommodation, serve their parents, and raise their wives and children, which is biased."
"I have great compassion for the corporal and the minister of the world, and I am willing to keep the poor, and I rule the world Yuanyuan, so I have a division to control the official system, reward his merits and reward his work" "Qing will be appointed prime minister, I hope that this matter will be presided over by Qing, discussed with Yousi, and determined the rank and treatment of officials" After listening to Chao Cuo, he probably knew Liu Che's attitude.
In general, the benefits are still the same as in the past However, in the past, most of the benefits of the Son of Heaven were given to princes, lords, and military meritorious men.

And now, the Son of Heaven has transferred the benefits to the civilian clique.
It seems that the Son of Heaven tasted the sweetness of using welfare to invite people to buy and unite people's hearts, so he became addicted.
Thinking like this, Chao Cuo bowed and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to instruct how to proceed" This is something that must be asked There must be no ambiguity Chao Cuo knows very well, the Son of Heaven should have his own ideas.
He called himself to come, just to let himself implement the relevant policies.
However, this matter is also very beneficial to Chao Mistake There is always a benefit to such a thing as welfare.
Especially judging from the tone of the Son of Heaven, this benefit is likely to affect the entire rank-ranked class, and even spread to the fighting officials.
So, Chao Tso pricked up his ears and at the same time concentrated, not wanting to miss a single word next.
But I heard the Son of Heaven say: "What I mean for the time being, there will be officials in the division, and they will be divided into nine ranks according to their rank."
"Fighting food is still called fighting food, and its salary, allowances and subsidies remain unchanged" This is natural, the eaters are handymen, temporary workers, and people outside the system, if they can also enjoy benefits, then Liu Che will not be enough to pay even if he finds Jinshan.
"However, if there is no fault and no sitting law, after the county order and the county lieutenant assessment, it is confirmed that he is really talented, and he is allowed to be promoted to rank, two hundred stones, with a bronze talisman."
Chao Mistake listened and hurriedly wrote down the matter.
In this regard, Chao Cuo has no opinion, and even thinks so.
Among the fighting officials, there has always been a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Xiao He Cao Shen's great cause even depends on the extraordinary performance of the group of fighting officials.
Even now, in the political arena of the Han family, there are many important ministers who were born as fighting officials For example, the big farmer Cheng Shangrong, the county guard Yan Xiong of Hedong County, and the rising supernova of the Legalist family, the county guard of Nanyang County, Zhang Tang, all started from fighting food officials.
In the Han Dynasty, in today's world, no one dares to despise these heroes in the midst of recklessness t1706231537:
