Chapter Seventy-Nine: Jia Xu's Advice


"I originally thought that this time to pacify Li Guo's two thieves, holding the military power in Guanzhong, and having the name of the Son of Heaven, how should these people give me some thin noodles and be more restrained, I don't want to" In the Chengming Palace, there are only Jia Xu and Liu Xie at this moment, Liu Xie did not detour around the corner, shook his head and sighed: "Although it is not said that it has become more severe, but the people's livelihood in this Guanzhong, if it continues like this, the luck of the Han family may be unsustainable."

Who these people were, Liu Xie didn't say, and Jia Xu didn't ask, but both of them knew in their hearts that there was no need to break it at this time.

When Jia Xu heard this, he also nodded in agreement.

This is a vicious circle, although Liu Xie's plan for Juntun can indeed solve some problems, and these families have at least made some concessions.

But the problem is not here, the taxes remain high, the people will naturally continue to lose, the same taxes, with the loss of the people, the taxes that can be collected are naturally less and less, and it is difficult to say whether the family will do something dry and fish in order to maintain interests, but the most important thing is Liu Xie's reputation.

This is the first decree made by Liu Xie since he took office, and it is reasonable, there is no problem, reducing taxes can attract displaced people, attract more displaced people, population in the era of cold weapons, it is definitely an important indicator to consider a country's comprehensive national strength, there are more people, and the income from taxes will also rise, gradually forming a virtuous circle.

Jia Xu believes that many people can see the power clearly, but few people are willing to give in, why is it nothing more than interests, human nature is greedy, and the benefits that have been eaten in the mouth, and then want to make people spit it out, but it is even more difficult.

"Your Majesty is young, although he has successfully ambushed the thieves, but after all, his prestige is still shallow, and now the court, according to what the ministers see, is still controlled by the family, whether it is Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan or Your Majesty, this has not changed."

Jia Xu groaned.

Don't look at Dong Zhuo's fierce trouble, if it has nothing to do with the support of the middle family gate valve behind him, where does Dong Zhuo have the confidence to be alone with the Kwantung princes After Li Dao, Guo Yan and others took power, Guo Yan didn't say, Li Dao's violent temper, how could he tolerate Yang Biao, Huangfu Song, Sima Fang and others to gain a firm foothold in the court, and even contradict them from time to time, all because of these people, representing the people's livelihood in Guanzhong, even if they have male soldiers, but they still rely on these people to eat, no matter how brutal they are, they still can't offend these people to death.

Now that Liu Xie wants to restore the people's livelihood, the first thing he has to do is to take the benefits out of the mouths of these people, the difficulty, to some extent, is even more difficult than overthrowing Li Dao and Guo Yan, but to revive the Han Dynasty, these difficulties are what he has to face.

"Of course, I know this."

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "It's just that now, there is no one around me to use, Wen He is unwilling to preside over this matter, Li Xiaoru is not suitable to appear in front of people, I really don't know who to send to take charge of this matter."

Li Ru is actually a good choice, when he was in Luoyang, the Luoyang family was bullied by Li Ru a lot, don't look at the elegance of people, but if you really want to do one thing, whether it is skill or courage, that is, Jia Xu is not as good as in radicalization.

It's a pity that if Li Ru is really pushed to the forefront, it will be easy for people to see the clues, and if he makes trouble, not only will he not be able to alleviate the situation, but Liu Xie's credibility will also be greatly tested.

But in addition to these two people, whether it is Xu Huang, Fan Chou, Fang Sheng, Zhang Xiu, these people are not capable enough to complete these things, whether it is vision or political sense, it is really difficult for them to let a group of generals find the tricks in this.

"There is one minister who can be recommended to His Majesty."

After Jia Xu pondered for a while, he said in a deep voice: "This person was born in a poor family, and later obtained the eighteen volumes of Han Feizi's Legalist writings, and he was deeply rooted in the essence of Legalism. ” Legalist After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was dominant, and the Legalist school gradually disappeared, but the idea of the rule of law did not disappear, but was absorbed into the system of Confucianism, both morality and punishment, but more often, it was a powerful tool used to maintain the landlord class, that is, the current family class.

"If it is the heir of the Fa family, it is indeed suitable."

Liu Xie bowed his head slightly, he had studied pre-Qin jurisprudence, and the concept was quite advanced, not to mention the feudal era, that is, in modern society, pre-Qin jurisprudence could still find some shadows in addition to some cruel criminal laws.

But this kind of thing is like a double-edged sword, if used well, it can effectively hit the family class, but if it is not used well, it will also hurt itself.

As for emulating modernity, thoroughly implementing the spirit of the rule of law, and returning the government to the people, Liu Xie never thought that half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman, and he doesn't know if he can live for a hundred years, but to break the strange circle of nearly 2,000 years in the feudal era, that is unrealistic, and everyone has selfish desires, Liu Xie never feels that he is a saint.

It is okay to implement the rule of law, but if you want to hand over the power in your hands now, let alone whether you want to or not, the current pattern of the times, doing so will only make the already chaotic world even more chaotic.

The most fundamental thing is that if Liu Xie is still in power with the people at this time, not to mention whether the people can accept it, at a time when knowledge is still monopolized by a small number of people, whether ordinary people have the ability to discern what is a choice that is beneficial to themselves and the country is a big question.

Thinking about the pros and cons in his heart, Liu Xie turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said, "But I don't know who can get Wenhe so much appreciation."

"This person's surname is Fa, his name is Yan, his name is Ji Mou, and he is a person who helps the wind."

Jia Xu smiled.

"Okay, it's him, Wen Hedang secretly wrote a letter and invited him."

Liu Xie nodded.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, did not leave, but groaned.

"Oh" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu: "Wen He, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ” "Whoa."

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "In fact, whether Your Majesty wants to reform the law or purge the rule of officials, the most important thing at the moment is not who will help Your Majesty. ” "Then with Wen and Guan, what should be the first step" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with some surprise, this seemed to be Jia Xu taking the initiative to make a plan, and smiled at the moment.

"Shocking the family" After Jia Xu spit out four words, he didn't say more.

Li Guo Fu Zhu, although it is very happy, and it makes Liu Xie regain power, but if you want to really gather the power in Guanzhong for a lifetime and implement the law, the first thing to do is not to purge the rule of officials, but to deter the family and make an example of the monkeys, only by suppressing these people, no matter what Liu Xie wants to do, it will be much smoother, after all, this is a troubled time, although the family is strong because of this, but it is also because of this, many things are much stronger than when the world is peaceful and the world is unified. t1706231537:
