Night is gradually falling, and the noise of Weiyang Palace has faded.
Sitting on the throne, Liu Che looked down at the report that the embroidered guard had just delivered.
These reports are many, a foot high, and all of them contain information, deeds, and background descriptions of the officials and officials of the various counties and states of this great court.
Liu Che reviewed them one by one, and asked a few embroidered guards in front of him about some questions from time to time.
Since the sixth year of Yuande, factions divided by ideology and ideological tendencies began to appear in the political arena of the Han family.
Confucianism, Huang, Lao, Zai, and even the Mo family have organized their own small groups in the political arena.
They are inclined to each other, but they cooperate with each other.
If all goes well and this situation lasts for another hundred years, Liu Che has no doubt that on the basis of these small groups, a number of political parties or similar organizations with Zhuxia characteristics may be born.
Even now, the Mohists and the miscellaneous families are already evolving in the direction of modern political party organizations.
They even have some of the characteristics of a political party.
For example, the program of action, organizational discipline, ideals and beliefs, and action goals.
And this undoubtedly greatly increased the burden on Liu Che, the emperor.
Political parties or similar organizations have always been the greatest hidden danger and threat to imperial power.
It is necessary to monitor and monitor their every move.
Of course, Liu Che will not deliberately attack and suppress their development.
After reviewing these materials, Liu Che's expression gradually became solemn.
From the report and related information of Xiuyiwei, Liu Che saw that in the officialdom, the various factions of Confucianism, Fa and Huang Lao began to have their own basic plates and bases.
For example, the Ram Sect and the Chu Poetry Sect have now penetrated into all aspects of Qilu, Wu and Chu.
Up to now, they have not only absorbed and digested all the spheres of influence of the Lu Confucian family in the past, but also further used the powerful bureaucratic system of the Han family itself to infiltrate their influence into all local strata.
They not only have spokespersons in officialdom, but also have a large number of businessman supporters.
These merchants, by donating funds to various academies in exchange for the support and cover of the academic community, formed alliances with the official scholars.
Interest groups are formed in this intertwined network of relationships.
According to the report of the embroidery and clothing guards in the Qichu area, there have been signs of silk and linen eating people in the Qichu area, due to the continuous prosperity of the Han commodity economy, the demand for cloth and silk in various places is increasing day by day, and the profits of the hand-weaving industry are increasing.
Nanyue and Minyue alone import more than 500,000 horses of various colors of cloth from Qichu every year.
The market demand for cloth and silk in the Han family itself is more than millions of horses every year, and it is constantly increasing.
The profits of ramie cultivation and silkworm farming far exceed those of rice and corn.
As a result, the merchants, landlords, and bureaucrats in Qichu, driven by profits, began to encourage and even force the peasants to plant ramie, mulberry trees, and raise silkworms.
On the other hand, silk reeling and ramie weaving require a lot of labor.
Therefore, they began to use various means to force the peasants to go bankrupt and make them go into debt, and they had to work in their workshops to pay off their debts.
This made Liu Che look shocked.
Fortunately, this kind of sign has only just appeared, and it is only the beginning, so the local social contradictions are still manageable.
Moreover, these scum scumbags have scruples, they don't dare to look too ugly, and they don't dare to do things that are too inferior.
But with the passage of time, in the future, the matter of sheep eating people and cotton eating people will definitely intensify.
The only good news may be that the Han dynasty now has control over the Makunan and has established a firm rule in the area.
Therefore, it should be said, not to develop to the terrible level of the early days of the British Industrial Revolution.
And when it comes to it, it's also funny.
In fact, the reason why this happened to Qilu was because of Anton.
Anton's reclamation business has been feeding back to the Han family since last year.
In particular, the Qilu area has a fixed and frequent maritime connection with Anton.
A large amount of surplus grain produced by the Andong Tun Reclamation Regiment was transported to Qilu by building ships and civilian ships.
Anton's cheap grain poured into Qilu, so that even if Qilu carried out a large-scale transformation of rice to mulberry to hemp, it no longer had to worry about the lack of food.
Workers who work in the workshops can also use their salaries to buy enough food to feed their families.
Without worrying about the shortage of food, the mulberry hemp industry in Qilu and Wuchu has developed rapidly.
Whether it is for merchants, workshop owners, landlords or even farmers, mulberry and hemp and textile industries are more promising than agriculture alone.
You grow food in the field, not to mention the hard work, and the reward may not be enough to fill the stomach of the whole family.

After all, it is not yet the future after the opening of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal.
Qilu, Wuchu and other places south of the Yangtze River are not the land of fish and rice.
In particular, the Wuchu region has very backward infrastructure, few channels, and imperfect water conservancy facilities.
In contrast, planting mulberry hemp or working in a workshop is a lot harder, but the rewards are much stronger than farming The South is already beginning to see the beginning of capitalism.
In the north, the power of the Legalists, like an octopus, is deeply entangled in many counties.
Out of Guanzhong to the north, Taiyuan, Daiguo, Shangjun, Yunzhong, Longyou, Yunzhong, Beidi, and even Gaoque and Jiuyuan are basically in charge of the Legalists now.
One by one, the Legalist cadres spread from the grassroots level to the yamen of the county guard's mansion.
In these places, with the exception of retired servicemen and officials, almost all other positions are Legalist people.
And the Legalists themselves have close ties to the military.
Especially the generals and military nobles in the Daibei area, they are almost out of the same nostril as the Legalists.
In these places, the Legalists and the military have jointly woven a large net of using laws and systems as scriptures and military merits and military exploits as maintenance.
Here, all the people are soldiers, and every family is keen on martial arts.
Officials at all levels in counties, counties, and townships have actively organized and trained a large number of militias.
The policy of fake animals and fake horses has made almost every small and medium-sized landlord family in the north have a young man who is good at riding and shooting.
They stretched their necks, looking forward to the call from Chang'an every day.
The local military nobles, after being noble, not only did they oppress their neighbors, but also fished in the township.
On the contrary, they are the leaders of rent and interest reduction in the north.
In a township, if there is a school captain, then the whole township will hold a banquet to celebrate the three days.
Because it means that the burden on the elders in the village will be greatly lightened This lieutenant will definitely repay the villagers, and will become the biggest supporter for the villagers when they encounter problems or injustices At the same time, he will continue to bring a large number of young children to the army.
The current departments of the Han army are the most respectful of their soldiers This is the truth that has been recognized by the world since the time when Chu and Han fought for hegemony.
The king of Han relied on abundant soldiers to fight the world, and Xiang Yu also relied on the loyal 3,000 Jiangdong disciples.
The emerging military aristocracy is not exempt from vulgarity.
They need, and indeed hope, that they can have a loyal and brave soldier who fights tenaciously and never gives up as the backbone of the backbone Therefore, in the whole of northern China, the local order, customs, and habits are completely different from those in the south.
Walking into the north, you will find that you are not coming to a feudal society.
It is a militaristic society armed with the system and laws of the merchant monarch.
Every household is equipped with bows and crossbows, and every village has a militia organization.
As for the young men who are whistling by between the counties and townships, they will let you know that this place is by no means a place to be bullied.
Even those greedy landlords and powerful people who once knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow and did everything they could exploit are now trembling, and they can only hold their tails and be human beings, not daring to exploit them excessively. even had to respond to the initiative of local heroes to reduce rent and interest.
The pictures and scenes that Xunzi had seen when he entered Qin a hundred years ago have now reappeared in the north.
And more scenes and things that Xunzi has never seen are constantly appearing.
But what is interesting is that in such a place where the power of Legalism is absolutely superior, and there is a strict organization and order, the power and scale of the merchants are not smaller than those in the south.
Every day, thousands of people, pushing small carts or driving livestock, or forming large caravans, travel along the old Huichu Road and the Nakan Road to Makunan.
They brought Chinese grain, ironware, salt, medicinal herbs, spices, cloth, and copper coins to Makunan.
In exchange for a large amount of fur, livestock, dairy products.
The people of the crown belt and the nomadic people of the bow were the sworn enemies of the millennium.
But now, when the Han family ruled the grassland with unprecedented power, everyone was stunned to find that the room of the crown belt and the people of the bow were actually two poles that naturally complemented each other.
Nomadic herders herd and raise livestock, but they are in constant danger of survival.
In particular, the lower herders live a difficult and precarious life.
The lives of people on the grasslands are as fragile as grass mustard.
In order to survive, the people of the bow draw have to do everything they can to get food.
It is the law of evolution that has made their bodies thinner and shorter over thousands of years, and if the nomads of the bow cannot make themselves as short as possible, then they will not be able to sustain themselves.
And the people who cultivate the crown belt have cultivated the land for generations, digging food from the barren mountains.
Corn and soybeans are very nutritious, and only the children of small and medium-sized landlords can eat meat with high nutritional value to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, in the history books, the usual adjectives for evaluating the poor are: noodles have vegetables.
But now, everything has changed The cheese and livestock of the people of the bow were brought back to China by these merchants.

As a result of the victories in the wars, North China itself had a large stock of livestock.
Nowadays, although it is still a luxury for ordinary people in the north to eat meat, only the well-off families of landlords can eat meat from time to time.
But cheese and other dairy products have found their way into every household.
With the protein and nutritional supplements brought by cheese, the physical fitness of teenagers in the north began to improve.
The large amount of wool imported also feeds the related wool textile industry.
The Munan tribes also received corn, wheat, salt, ironware, and cloth from China.
It has also obtained China's advanced technology, especially animal husbandry technology and green storage technology.
The lives of low-level pastoralists have been completely transformed.
One stone of cheese can be exchanged for ten times as much grain.
For the first time in their lives, nomadic people can fill their stomachs without taking risks.
It's nothing short of a miracle The report of the embroidered guards clearly describes these facts.
Closing the report, Liu Che stared ahead, he knew that the world line and the history line had been completely subverted.
The Han family didn't even need to make any other efforts now, just to maintain the rule of the Makunan.
Within a hundred years, the Han dynasty was able to establish the first central empire in history that completely digested and ruled the grasslands. and, completely eliminate the threat of nomads Just like during the Yin Shang Dynasty Zhou, the biggest threat to the Central Empire was the barbarians from the south.
However, through the evolution and assimilation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period over hundreds of years.
Today, the land that was once barbarian and the east is China.
It's just that "I have to find a way to make the difference between you and the north and the south," Liu Che stood up and told himself in his heart.
He can already foresee the future, and if he doesn't intervene, then the Han family will definitely have a huge difference in the future, and the north and the south will be polarized.
The armed forces were in their hands, and the northern military generals and their landlords and small peasant economies were the basic society based on military exploits and military exploits.
There is also the wealthy Southern Merchant Capital landlord group.
If you are not careful, maybe a hundred years later, the Han family will have to fight a civil war and use your fists to resolve differences and contradictions.
That's not good Because, at that time, if there is a real confrontation between the north and the south, and it leads to war.
Then, the winning side will inevitably liquidate the loser.
The problem is that there is more to Chinese society and politics than Confucianism.
Anton's miscellaneous family, the Huang Lao faction in Qinghe, Hejian and Changshan, and even the Guanzhong Moshe were all important forces.
If it really wants to start, I'm afraid it will not only be the Civil War.
Most likely, it will turn into a scuffle.
After pacing a few steps, Liu Che had already made a decision.
He must establish a system and leave behind a force that will ensure that it works effectively.
This force must be sufficient to suppress everything, and to subdue others to abide by the system.
"Learn Kemal," Liu Che thought.
In later generations, although the local chicken was funny, the military system of maintaining the constitution left by its founding lord Kemal ensured the secularization of that country for decades. suppressed local stubbornly conservative radical forces for decades.
It wasn't until later that everything changed, the tide of the world went retrograde, and under the general trend, the military power was disintegrated and destroyed.
It's just that How to ensure that the military can maintain this system Wuyuan's education and ideological indoctrination can achieve this purpose.
But it's not enough It is necessary to link this matter to mission, honor, and faith It even has to be linked to the law.
Just thinking about this, Yan Yi's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, General Lou Chuan asks to see" Liu Che came back to his senses and immediately said, "Xuan" Lou Chuan's general Xu Han was arranged by Liu Che to enter the palace tonight to discuss matters.
Deliberation is not easy.
It is a discussion of the jurisdiction and legislation of the sea, especially the maritime frontier controlled by the Han dynasty.
To be precise, it is to discuss the final exchange and communication of the relevant provisions of the Haijiang Law that will be submitted to the third reading of the Great Imperial Council. t1706231537:
