Chapter 53: Assimilation Reform (II)


The next morning, all the ministers came to the council hall early, the news of the emperor's decision to reform everyone already knows, although the people below do not know the specific reform plan, but for the general content of the still know some, for Li Liangzuo's big money this time, these civil and military officials in addition to sighing are only helpless.

"Worship of the Ministers" "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" "Zhong Aiqing, let's get even," Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand; "Presumably all of you Aiqing know, in order to revitalize my Great Xia Kingdom, I have decided to eliminate maladministration and implement reforms" After some verbosity, the ministers praised Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty Shengming" "Xiao Fuzi, make a decree," Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Fuzi who was standing beside him.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom: In order to eliminate maladministration and revitalize our country, His Majesty the Emperor has decided to implement reforms throughout the country, and the reforms will be implemented in all aspects such as politics, economy, military, and culture, and the specific implementation plans are as follows: First: change the name of the year, and change the eighth year of the blessing of the Holy Chengdao to the first year of assimilation.

Second, the implementation of political reforms, the abolition of the prime minister system, the implementation of the separation of military and political affairs, the abolition of all major institutions of the imperial court, the implementation of new management institutions; In the imperial court, five major institutions were set up, including the Executive Yuan, the Military Affairs Yuan, the Judicial Yuan, the Finance Department, and the Supervision Department.

At the local level, a prefecture and county-level management organization was set up, and a prefecture was set up in the prefecture, with the Prefecture in charge of local government affairs such as administration, justice, and taxation, and the Prefecture in charge of local military affairs such as city defense, public security, and banditry; Establish a county magistrate in the county to take charge of administrative, judicial, tax, military service and other powers within the jurisdiction; All officials in prefectures and counties are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and all officials are evaluated once a year and rotated every three years; Those whose performance is the same as the previous year will be given a major demerit, and those whose performance will decline will be directly dismissed from their official positions Third, economic reform, abolishing the system of private ownership of land, nationalizing all land, and not allowing all land to be bought and sold; It was uniformly distributed to the people by the imperial court for cultivation, and the cultivators paid taxes according to the grade of the land, and the elderly over 70 years old were exempted from taxes; To encourage business, to enhance the legal status of businessmen, the national unified commercial tax law is not allowed to collect commercial taxes, tolls, etc. without permission Fourth, military reform, the first batch of 100,000 new troops will be organized and trained, and the specific training plan will not be announced if it is a military secret; The national army is divided into three classes: the Central Army, the New Army, the Border Army, and the Government Army; As the main force, the central army is the elite of our country, the border army is stationed in the frontier, the army is the second-line army, and the government army is the local army, and the garrison strength varies from 500 to 300 according to the needs of each locality.

Fifth, cultural reform, abolishing the difficult to write party script, and implementing new simplified Chinese characters; The imperial court set up Guozijian and Taixue as the highest educational institutions, and the local prefectures and counties set up state schools and county schools, and at the same time encouraged the establishment of private colleges, and all schools at all levels to educate students with loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, advocating literature and martial arts as the core, so children between the ages of five and fourteen must be enrolled, and all expenses are borne by the imperial court.

Tenth: advocate a reasonable animal husbandry industry and vigorously cultivate war horses; Eleventh: Reward military merits, all strata of agriculture and industry are treated equally all the way, and those who have made significant contributions will be personally received by the emperor and awarded knighthoods" Xiao Fuzi took the holy decree and read a lot of it, and the officials below heard it one by one, and many of them have touched the interests of the party and nobles, and although there are objections to the ministers, they dare not say it.

After Xiaofuzi finished reading, Li Liangzuo said to the ministers: "I know what you Aiqing is worried about about the land being nationalized, I will not treat everyone badly, all the land will be taken back by the court according to the way of redemption, of course, if anyone dares to object, then it is necessary to see whether my knife is fast or their neck is hard."

"The ministers obey Your Majesty's holy decree," all the ministers said under Li Liangzuo's obscenity.

"Xiao Fuzi reads another holy decree."

After the ministers got up, Li Liangzuo continued.

Xiao Fuzi took another holy decree and read it out loud: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom has issued a holy decree: appoint Wei Ge Ning Ling as the executive envoy of the Executive Yuan; Nuo was the military envoy of the Military Affairs Yuan; Gao Huaizheng is a judicial envoy of the Judicial Yuan; Chow Man-tai is the Director of the Finance Department; Mao Huaichang is the director of the Department of Supervision" After Xiaofuzi finished reading, all the officials were newly appointed, and the assimilation reform of Western Xia also began on this day, whenever and wherever there was a reform, there would be resistance, and the assimilation reform was no exception, but because Li Liangzuo had dealt with a group of party nobles, and had the support of the army and the ministers of the court, the reform was relatively smooth, and all the rebels were brought to justice, of course, there were not a few who were killed.

Three months have passed unconsciously, and the Western Xia has entered the end of May of the first year of assimilation, and the reform of the Western Xia has won the approval of a large number of people, and the entire Western Xia is being deposited in a joyful celebration.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the reform, please read it."

Wei Ge Ning ordered a copy of the recital to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo opened it and looked at it and said with great satisfaction: "Uncle Huang has worked hard during this time, and the agricultural reform in various places has been basically completed, so Uncle Huang will be much easier in the future."

"Everything is done according to His Majesty's will, how can Wei Chen say the hard work."

Wei Ge Ningling said with a smile.

"What happened to the 100,000 soldiers I recruited some time ago," Li Liangzuo asked Wei Ge Ning Ling.

Wei Ge Ningling immediately replied: "According to Your Majesty's intentions, the list has been posted in various places, and so far the number of people who have signed up and passed the screening has reached 80,000. ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "This matter is related to the combat strength of the new army in the future, and I also ask Uncle Huang to work harder and recruit all the personnel as soon as possible." ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."

Wei Ge Ning Ling replied.

After Wei Ge Ning ordered to leave, Xiao Fuzi asked Li Liangzuo in confusion: "Your Majesty, the slave has no idea, and I ask Your Majesty to show it." ” "If you kid don't understand anything, just ask," Li Liangzuo said as he watched the recital.

"Your Majesty's recruitment should be a matter for the Military Affairs Yuan, why did Your Majesty hand it over to the Government Affairs Yuan for execution" Xiao Fuzi asked Li Liangzuo curiously.

Li Liangzuo glanced at Xiao Fuzi with a gloomy face, and the frightened Xiao Fuzi immediately knelt on the ground, slapped his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is too talkative, and the slave should die." ” "Okay," Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Fuzi; "I ask you what the duties of the Military Affairs Department are."

"Of course, he is in command of the whole country."

Xiaofuzi opened his mouth and said.

Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "That's right, the responsibility of the Military Affairs Yuan is to manage the country's soldiers and horses, and command the dispatch of the country's soldiers and horses; If the Military Affairs Yuan has the right to recruit soldiers, then the power of the Military Affairs Yuan is a bit too great. ” Xiaofuzi suddenly realized, Li Liangzuo smiled and continued to look at his own twists and turns, in fact, after the assimilation reform, in the imperial court, Li Liangzuo was equivalent to dividing the power into five, and the administrative, judicial, military, financial, and supervision were all responsible to the emperor, which effectively divided the power of the emperor and strengthened the imperial power; At the same time, power can be decentralized, because of the decentralization of power, everyone performs their own duties, so the emperor is not afraid of the appearance of powerful ministers.

The same is true of local powers, because of the separation of military and political affairs, military and political officials at all levels can form mutual involvement, and in addition to the appointment and dismissal of local officials by the imperial court, and the rotation every three years, it prevents collusion between the clans and local officials, and also prevents the emergence of local warlords.

To put it simply, Li Liangzuo, who was the emperor after the assimilation reform, mastered the imperial court, and the imperial court had a mastery of the place; Therefore, both the court and the local government are within the control of the emperor, and Li Liangzuo is equivalent to the existence of integrating the military and political power of the whole country in Western Xia, and no one can shake it.
