A group of former generals and prime ministers were holding red wine and opening on the huge emperor's flagship deck, very happy and chic.
Although there are no young and beautiful kabuki dancers, it is not a lot of fun to chat.
These old cadres present pulled out any of them, and they were all characters who could stomp their feet and make Han Jing shocked.
Not to mention that he was in a high position in the past and had a high lord, and even no family had a third or fifth title, a few fiefdoms, and even a family that did not have hundreds of thousands or millions of family assets.
But being a high lord is not necessarily all a good thing, and a lot of money in the family sometimes makes people feel at ease.
Especially at the beginning of the founding of the country, everyone was always worried that one day the emperor would hide all the birds and hide them to avoid dead dogs.
Since the beginning of the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Jing has been saying that he has to recuperate at home because of his leg pain, why is it not because he has a bad relationship with the emperor, he has stood on the wrong side several times, but he has fought very well, he has made a lot of contributions, and he has been awarded a high official title, so occasionally Li Shimin comes to him and says that so-and-so sued you for rebellion, and I believe you.
Of course, such a smart person as Li Jing listened to the meaning of the words.
If you really have to believe me, even if others sue me, you don't need to tell me so much about it.
As a result, Li Jing could only call himself sick.
Li Shimin always has to talk to Li Jing every one or two years, repeating what I believe you will not rebel about, so Li Jing's leg disease can only get worse and worse, and when he gets to the back, he can't even go out.
In fact, at the age of sixty, Li Jing could still ride a horse and gallop hundreds of miles with thousands of light horsemen in the icy and snowy land of Daibei to raid the court of the Turkic Khan.
The wind and snow froze all his beard, and the whole person was like a snowman, he didn't have any, and when he reached his destination, he could jump off his horse like a tiger and pounce on the sweat tent of the khan.
But the more the emperor said that he believed him, the more serious the pain in Li Jing's leg could only be.
But in the Dahua Dynasty, Li Jing slowly discovered that he didn't have to pretend to be sick at all, because Zhang Chao sent the best imperial doctor to treat him, and clearly told Li Jing that he had cured all his old diseases.
And Li Jing asked the court to resign from the position of the first brother of the military boss, and the emperor also happily agreed.
The unofficial is light, and he still has a king's title and a taibao title on his body, but Li Jing has finally been able to sleep peacefully.
There are many old cadres like Li Jing, all of them are either prime ministers, scholars, bachelors, Jiuqing, or military marshals and generals, all of whom are princes and princes who are divided into feuds. is old, but he is not in love with power, but he is also worried about the future of the family.
Everyone has been retired for a long time, but even if they are no longer in a high position, their respective family interests have not been affected.
On the contrary, after retirement, the families have no constraints.
I can even feel that the Flying Cavalry Division, the Six Doors, etc., are not so closely stared.
Zhang Chao told these old cadres more than once that he wanted to share the peace, and there were indeed many cruel power struggles in previous dynasties, and even many founding monarchs liked to purge heroes, the reason was still the struggle for power.
But Zhang Chao felt that there was no need, now Dahua's system has been relatively perfect, and the tenure system implemented by the imperial court has better prevented the emergence of powerful ministers, and each position has a term limit and a recusal system.
There is even a strong monitoring system.
The cabinet is a group system, and those important ministers and important officials retire when they reach the age, and after retirement, they can also enter the parliament to exert their residual energy.
At the same time, the parliament is protecting their family's position of power.
After the ministers retired, they could continue to run their family fiefdoms and run their own family estates.
The situation in the court is clear, the emperor has already determined the crown prince and the grandson, the prince and grandson are all very good, and there is no heir dispute.
Of course, everyone can still be so happy after retirement, and the most important thing is, of course, the emperor's kindness to everyone.
The emperor supported the development of the family after the retirement of the old cadres, although most of them were bureaucratic capital, but Zhang Chao did not object.
As long as they are within the framework drawn by the imperial court, Zhang Chao will not prohibit it.
In this era, with the development of industry and commerce and the rise of capital, it is simply impossible to say that bureaucracy and capital are separated.
Even the royal family itself is also making a lot of capital.
The family of Zhang Zhongjian, the former commander-in-chief of the navy, is the largest shipbuilding and shipping tycoon after the royal family, and the former privy envoy Qin Qiong's family is even more powerful in winemaking, papermaking, and Yangtze River shipping.
The former commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater of Operations, Cheng Yanjin's family, is the largest shipping merchant on the East Canal, and their family is also the largest salt merchant in Hebei.
Basically, relying on their powerful position in the court, relying on their connections, and their respective capitals, which one is not doing well.
The gambling houses run by Shan Xiongxin's family are all big-name brands in the national chain.
Even Prime Minister Ma Zhou and University Scholar Fang Xuanling were also involved in the mining and operation of important minerals such as gold, silver, copper, coal and iron.
As long as he does not directly use his power for personal gain and makes normal use of some advantages to operate, Zhang Chao will also turn a blind eye.
Even if the imperial court forbade officials to do business, officials had a way to find an agent, just as in the past.
At the time of Zhenguan, the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong scholars were vigorously suppressed, but a new group of military aristocrats rose.
Now, four years after the revival of Dahua, the new aristocracy has become more and more powerful.
Not only does it have a strong position in the court, but it also has a fief and a knighthood, and even has a very strong economic strength.
A powerful new wealthy family has been formed, this is the combination of aristocratic bureaucracy and capital, Li Shimin was afraid of this emerging force and wanted to block it, but was finally overthrown by this force.
Now it's time for Zhang Chao to face this problem.

Zhang Chao had seen these and the formation of this powerful class, but he had no intention of going against them.
Dahua has come to this day, this situation is inevitable, and forcibly prohibiting control will only cause conflict and bloodshed, and even make Dahua collapse.
Sometimes, just put a cage in place and give the beast a carrot in front of them to guide them in the direction.
There's no need to wrestle with them.
At least for now, they're in this cage, and they're still following the carrot in front of them.
"Vietnam's Golden Chau has recently discovered a large gold mine, which is said to have an annual production capacity of more than 10,000 taels."
"That's in the fiefdom of the Eleventh Prince, the Eleventh Prince is really lucky."
"The Eleventh Prince has sent a message that he is recruiting partners and preparing to issue shares to raise shares, establish a large gold mine, and make every effort to mine the gold there."
The old cadres got together, drank fine wine, chatted in twos and threes, chatted and chatted about money and other things.
If you don't talk about that, there's really nothing to talk about.
Everyone is generally very interested in not talking too much about the government and military, after all, they are not in their positions and do not seek their own politics, they are all retired old cadres, and they can't help but feel that they are in love with the stack and don't go to the court, pointing fingers at the court, which is suspected of interfering in politics.
It's better to talk about investment or something, after all, it's a good opportunity to make money, who thinks about more money, make more money and invest it in your own fiefdom, and run the fief better, this is the long-term way.
This is the same as the old and rich landlords in the past who made money and immediately tried to buy land and annex it.
In the past, the field was a good investment.
And now, for the old ganbu, the fief is the family's longest-term inheritance.
"I heard that there are also a lot of gold streams found in Heihe, all of which are gold sand, which is more convenient to mine, just pan for gold in the stream, and there is no need to mine."
Another old cadre said.
The Heihe River is in the far northeast, which is the territory of the Heishui Ya people, of course, now the Heishui Ya people are nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yue, the king of Heihe, and the entire Heishui River basin is Zhang Yue's fief.
Although the actual control of this Heishui King is still in Fuyuan City, which is more than 1,000 miles upstream of the Heishui River, but nominally the entire Heishui River basin thousands of miles away is his fiefdom.
The seven brothers of the emperor directly divided the vast territory of the Northeast and the Murwei people, and the fief of any one person was thousands of miles.
However, it was indeed too bitter cold at that time, and half of the year was the ice and snow period, and at this time, there was nothing else to do except stay in the castle and sit on the warm kang for the cat winter.
But with the padded jacket and the warm kang, in fact, the days over there are also quite good, although the winter is very long, but once the winter is over, there are excellent resources there.
There is the most fertile black soil, and it is no problem to grow corn, potatoes, barley, sorghum, soybeans, and even rice.
Moreover, there are many rivers and fish over there, and you can catch a lot of them if you go down with a net.
Drying fish is all a table of drying.
As long as you can endure the vastness and loneliness over there, and the wolves, it's actually quite good there.
In addition to those, there are also excellent timber resources and minerals, all kinds of good timber, cut down and dried in the shade, and then discharged, and finally shipped back to the Central Plains.
There are even a lot of gold and silver mines of all kinds.
In recent years, Heishui has found gold sand in the tributaries, and the gold panning is simple and the harvest is high, attracting many people to go to the northeast to pan for gold, but it has greatly increased the population of Fuyuan City in recent years.
In addition, there is excellent fur over there, and now Fuyuan City has a population of nearly 10,000.
"What are the gold mines in Jinzhou and the gold sand in Heihe, do you know no, the new gold mountain in Australia, the gold mines there are good.
Now several large gold veins have been discovered, and their output can be compared with the Luzon gold mine, far exceeding the Yili gold mine, and even our Denglai gold mine is not as good as the gold mine, which can be called the first gold mine in Dahua.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested, you can talk about cooperation, my old Cheng is preparing to recruit shareholders, raise one million shares, and mine this first gold mountain.
Cheng Yanjin drank red wine with a red face, and said to a group of old friends who were talking about gold. t1706231537:
