Chapter 545: Estrangement


In an era of low productivity and lack of population, it is absolutely certain that having children is a credit to the country, and merit must be rewarded.

Ji Chang's great truth is very careful and clear, thanks to the military's continuous expansion to the outside world, the country's territory has been continuously increasing, but the country's population is too small.

The territory is large and the people are small, but anyone with a little brain knows what it means, the land laid is not enough manpower to develop, which is equivalent to only looking better on the territory map, and even many times the territory becomes a burden.

The dignified prime minister personally affirmed the merits of the military in front of the king and his colleagues at the court meeting, can it be regarded as a civilian system and considered himself to be under the military attache system Then again, it seems that the status of military generals in the Han State was lower than that of civilian officials, but on the contrary, because the Han State was in a state of war for a long time, the status of civilian officials has always been inferior to that of military attachés.

There were signs of a rise in the civil service in the last period, and the country almost entered the stage of recuperation, and the counterattack of the military generals was to plan the Northern Expedition.

At present, the Han State is engaged in a diplomatic war on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is engaged in the internal affairs of the country.

In fact, internal affairs are not only the affairs of the Prime Minister's Office or civilian officials, after all, the army's military resources come from the people, and the required grain and military equipment are also part of the internal affairs.

The country's population has increased, and the productivity has also increased, which is only good for the generals, and they are afraid that they will lose their usefulness.

Once the military generals are useless, let alone the glory of the ancestors with military merits, they will definitely be idle in ordinary times, and there may even be a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey cooking those bullshit.

It is conceivable that for various reasons, the most important hope of a military general is that there will always be a war to fight.

"The prime minister said this is very kind" Xu Zheng did not leave his seat, but stood up upright with a jade wat in his hand: "The minister agrees." ” Ji Chang touted the military a lot just now, what he was afraid of was that the military would have many twists and turns in such a matter, and he was slightly relieved to see Xu Zheng taking the lead in agreeing.

The two civil and military chiefs should reach a unified opinion, and it stands to reason that the issue of rewarding land for childbirth, if the king does not object, will be considered to be passed.

Sang Yu stayed quietly in his seat, watching Xu Zheng's performance first, and then Ji Chang's more gorgeous performance.

He has been relatively lonely recently, except for the work of the imperial envoy and doctor, he has not interfered in any official affairs, and he is privately integrating the family according to Liu Yan's wishes, and he has gone south to the southwest peninsula to open up many families that he persuaded to go.

The imperial envoy has the right to supervise the hundred officials, which sounds very powerful, but in fact, in terms of the politics of Chinese civilization, the hundred officials are not afraid of making mistakes, and they are afraid of the king's pursuit of mistakes, so the power of the imperial envoy can only be said to be an accessory of the king's will.

Originated from the fact that Liu Yan is not a mean and unkind person, Sang Yu, the imperial envoy, is very boring, and usually supervises the etiquette of hundreds of officials at large and small court meetings, in addition to this, his subordinates pay attention to whether the hundred officials are usually arrogant and domineering.

Of course, the Imperial Embassy's supervision of whether the officials are arrogant or not is only in some matters related to the people, and it is also an indulgent posture for officials to be dirty or conflicting.

Hundred officials are supervised by the Imperial History Office, and the nobles are supervised by the Imperial Governor's Office, and the officials of the Han State do not necessarily have titles, but they must be officials if they have titles, which leads to conflicts between the Imperial History Mansion and the Imperial Governor's Office in many law enforcement powers, in view of this, Sang Yu wants to ask Liu Yan for instructions, but there has been no good opportunity.

At present, the law enforcement power is not as clear as the modern one, and it is basically delineated according to the hierarchy which department is under management, and usually each department has both the right to supervise and the right to enforce the law, so it is indeed easy to cause conflicts in law enforcement, and there will also be some dirty law enforcement.

Liu Yan found the conflict in law enforcement power from the very beginning, of course he had the intention to plan, but the problem was that he felt that there was no opportunity, and it was not a trivial matter for a country to rashly change the rules formulated by his predecessors, and as a king, he had to be cautious and cautious when changing the country.

No one raised any objections to the birth reward, but Liu Yan couldn't make a decision immediately, so he should go through a process, such as the follow-up supplementary provisions are a very important thing.

The issue was not initially opposed, and the Prime Minister's Office should further refine it in the future, such as how much land should be rewarded for giving birth to a boy or a girl, where the land should be located, and then what kind of reward gap exists if you are willing to relocate or not.

"Xu Gong."

After the court meeting ended, Wang Ji followed his colleagues out of the hall and trotted to catch up with Xu Zheng in front.

He first saluted Xu Zheng respectfully, and then tried to ask, "Can you allow the official to speak?"

In front of the public, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching, Xu Zheng didn't know what Wang Ji wanted to say, so he nodded hesitantly.

"Captain."

Wang Ji changed his title, explaining that the next thing to talk about is the right thing: "Childbirth can be rewarded, and the officials who benefit the country and the people naturally agree with it very much, but the Taiwei does not feel that once he gives birth, he can also get a land reward, which is in conflict with the reward for military merits."

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Wang Ji deeply, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, but he walked straight down the avenue, and he didn't have the slightest desire to talk again.

Wang Ji watched Xu Zheng slowly walk away in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He is also a member of the military system, so he naturally wants to protect the interests of the military.

In his view, the reward of land for military merit is the greatest privilege and benefit, and once a hole is torn open this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the next civil official will not find a seemingly suitable reason to do it again.

According to reason, Xu is the first lieutenant, and he is the first person to be a military attaché of course, and he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the interests of the military "Kaichen is in a bit of a hurry."

Wang Luan looked at Wang Ji with a smile: "Although we are officials in the Han Dynasty, but" Wang Luan and Wang Ji are not related by blood, and the only thing they have in common is that in addition to their surnames, they both served as courtiers of Shi Le and Shi Hu.

The rule of the Zhao State in the Central Plains collapsed, and many officials who had been officials in the Shiqi Kingdom switched to the Han State, and Wang Luan and Wang Ji did things before and after the Battle of Xuzhou.

Those who switched from Shijiao to the Han Kingdom, each of them had their own circumstances, Wang Luan and Wang Ji were relatively well mixed, and more of them were either local officials, or they simply couldn't get an official position.

Wang Ji understood what Wang Luan did not say, it was nothing more than that although they were all officials, they also served the king, but there were still gaps, such as the difference between core ministers, ordinary ministers, and excluded courtiers.

There are not many people who can be regarded as the core ministers of the Han State, and the prime minister and the Taiwei must be among them, and officials such as Wang Luan and Wang Ji can only be regarded as ordinary courtiers, and it can even be said that they are slightly excluded because of their background.

Wang Ji was very close to Sang Yu before, and once followed him as Sang Yu's follower.

After Sang Yu was warned by Liu Yan, although Wang Ji did not clearly draw a clear line with Sang Yu, Wang Ji no longer followed Sang Yu's pace, and Wang Ji planned to take Xu Zheng's route after a little hibernation.

"Qichen, the Great Han is different from Hulu Shiqi."

Wang Luan himself did not know who he was closely following, he had observed for a long time and already knew what kind of country it was: "In Dahan, connections are naturally indispensable, but merit is paramount. ” Wang Ji was puzzled why Wang Luan was talking about that.

The two are old acquaintances, and the relationship can probably only be neither good nor bad, not to the point of digging out each other's hearts and lungs.

There were many officials who traveled together after the next dynasty, and they all had their own topics, mainly focusing on the birth reward system thrown out by the great court.

Most officials just feel that it is new to be able to obtain land for childbirth, and they cannot think of more, and the main topic is whether it will cause any damage to the military after childbirth can obtain land.

Generally speaking, the civilian system is mostly happy and excited about the new policy of giving birth to land incentives, and civil officials are not like military attaches who can go into battle to obtain military merits, and the credit is reflected in internal affairs, and one of the evaluations of internal affairs is the size of the population under their rule.

Some clever civil servants have thought more about the policies that have been preliminarily adopted, that land incentives are the core, that the people will inevitably produce more after owning land, and that taxes will inevitably increase.

In addition to the opening of land, the increase in population will also have many beneficial effects, such as the need for living materials will increase transactions, and the commercial tax will definitely increase.

In terms of the various effects of extension, the civil officials are very sure that the new policy will only be good for them, and some people who can speak up have already begun to brew some favorable additions to the follow-up provisions of the new policy.

At the end of the court, Sang Yu deliberately stayed behind, and he found that Ji Chang also had the same move, so he thought about it and took the initiative to go over.

"The king is the king of pioneering, and the prime minister must be deeply loved by the king" Sang Yu is still smiling all the time, and after the warning, the smile has a faint taste: "The follow-up is the dispatch of the land of rewards, but I have figured out how to operate" Ji Chang found that Sang Yu was obviously estranged, and he knew why it became like this, probably from the merger of the left and right prime ministers, and the internal affairs that originally belonged to Sang Yu's management came into his own hands "The people can't leave their homeland, so they have to do this."

Ji Chang didn't have any guilt about Sang Yu, and he couldn't talk about any opinions, but he wouldn't stick a hot face to a cold ass, and said with a light smile: "Before the Han Dynasty, only military merits could be rewarded with land, but not everyone could get military merits. ” "In the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was a policy of Juntian, and the prime minister never mentioned it to the king" Sang Yu patted his forehead after asking: "The king is well-read, so he naturally knows the past." ” Of course, Ji Chang mentioned Juntian, both privately and above the court, and the court immediately objected to it when the court said it, and Liu Yan did not respond when he spoke in private, so it can be seen that what the predecessors have done does not mean that it will be carried out according to the old practice.

"Juntian's policy destroys the military merit system, and the same is true of the policy of giving birth rewards."

Sang Yu clearly showed curiosity: "How did the Prime Minister's Mansion persuade the Taiwei Agency" Ji Chang had communicated with Xu Zheng, but the problem was that Xu Zheng didn't promise anything.

According to what he thought, after discussing with Liu Yan, it should be Liu Yan who found Xu Zheng behind.

The founding monarch of any country basically has a high right to speak, and many founding monarchs can even be arbitrary, and no courtier dares to disobey the will of the founding king.

Liu Yan is the same as the founder of the country, he has even a lot of differences because of some special circumstances, it can be said that if he wants to decide what to do, no one can stop him.

He just has quite a bit of self-knowledge, and what he doesn't understand is just monitoring and not directly interfering, and he won't take anything in the afterlife for granted.

Ji Chang didn't want to talk about that, and seeing that the hundred officials had already left the hall, he saw that Sang Yu was also going to see Liu Yan, and said: "The imperial envoy and doctor have met the king, but there is something contrary to the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Sang Yu still thought about it more seriously before replying: "No." ” The relationship between the two has weakened, even if it is really hostile, it can not clearly show hostility, Ji Chang asked those words are not difficult to hear, it is that all departments of the state originally have their own powers, and when discussing government affairs, especially when there are any suggestions, it is appropriate to meet the king separately if there is a conflict in terms of authority.

After the end of the court, Liu Yan stayed in the apse for a while as usual, in order to wait for any civil and military requests to meet.

Under normal circumstances, no one will ask to see the king after the small court meeting, but after the big court meeting, there will definitely be people who will ask to see the king, and the number of people who want to see him is not fixed.

Even, after the end of the great court meeting, it is often necessary for the king to summon some ministers to hold a small meeting.

"Let's talk about it here."

Liu Yan felt that it would not be calm today, and he did not plan to change places.

He asked Ji Chang and Sang Yu to sit separately, looked at the two of them, and said a very unnutritious opening sentence: "What is the speech?"

The apse is very empty, the furnishings are not fixed, at this moment is to put a table in the center of the hall, there are palace maids to make tea to wait, and the monarchs and ministers sit and talk.

Ji Chang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "There are many topics for the minister to talk about. ” At this time, it is up to Sang Yu to judge how much time it will take.

This is a technical job, and it is necessary to have a strong sense of time, and to have enough judgment on the topic to be discussed, and even to guess the attitude of the king.

"What the rulers have spoken is a matter of the law."

Sang Yu still decided to come first: "The Han Dynasty has the Imperial History Office and the Imperial Governor's Office, both of which have the right to supervise and enforce the law, and the supervision and law enforcement objects of the two overlap a lot."

Liu Yan's original posture was still a little relaxed, and when he heard Sang Yu's issue, he immediately became serious.

He knew better than anyone else the importance of the law, and the department responsible for its implementation was even more important, and there could be no sloppiness at all
