I can't deal with the stupid nobles under Wei Jun, and I can't deal with the Chao Kingdom?
First practice with the nobles of Chao Kingdom. After getting familiar with them, then deal with Wei Jun's subordinates. It's perfect!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Kui's face: "The old nobles must be eradicated. This is a truth that even those Qi practitioners who do not understand politics understand, but many people pretend to be confused!"
"There are only so many positions in this world. If the old aristocrats are not eradicated, how will the new aristocrats come to power?"
"The system of Shiqing and Shilu must be abolished."
"In the past, nepotism was used. Whether a person was appointed as a county magistrate or governor did not depend on his ability, but on whether he was a relative of the lord, how close he was to the lord, and whether he was a hereditary noble."
"Now, what we have to do is appoint people on their merits and give low-level officials a hope, and they will give us a big surprise."
"We need to implement the legal system, formulate detailed legal provisions, and use these legal provisions to replace the past rule of man. This will establish prestige and convince the people."
"When the people all believe in us, they will be willing to die for us. With such people, we can win the hearts of the soldiers by training, and get twice the result with half the effort."
"We must select talents and appoint them, and reward and punish them strictly!"
"We must make sure that we have food and work, and we must be rewarded with merit. If we are capable, we must be rewarded, and we must be punished!"
"We want to seize the wealth of the silver people and the people from all over the world!"
"From now on, the nobles in the entire Hanoi County can only enjoy various tax burdens within the fiefdom. As for the power of governing the people, they will be directly transferred to the prefecture."
"From now on, there can only be one voice in the entire Hanoi County, and that is the Governor's Mansion!"
"All officials, regardless of origin, must abide by the provisions of the law!"
"Do your best, level the Dharma, and follow the Dharma Sutra..."
Looking at Li Kui who stood up to talk about his ideas, Gongzisi felt that his friend's eyes were shining at this moment!
Young Master Si has long known about these decrees.
When he was in Qufu Academy, Li Kui talked about his ideas more than once. Now he finally has such an opportunity to put it into practice. If you ask Gongzi Si what he thinks, of course he supports it!
While feeling happy for his friend, Gongzisi took notes silently with a pen and paper. He had already thought about it and would post these contents to the Baijia contending forum opposite, so that everyone in the world could take a good look at it, not just Qi practitioners. There are heroes, and we nobles also have real heroes!
Looking at his heroic friend, Gongzisi felt that as long as he continued like this, his friend would be able to break through by the time Hanoi County was reorganized. In this way, the trip would not be a loss no matter what!
As expected of the leader personally chosen by my young master, Si, he is amazing!
"The entire Hanoi County, if we use the standards in the Yancheng Journal to describe it, the area of the county is about 86,000 square kilometers, of which the undeveloped area of mountains, rivers and rivers is about 16,000 square kilometers, and the developed area is about 70,000 square kilometers. Square kilometers.”
"Among them, 26,000 square kilometers of land are directly in the hands of the nobles and are their fiefdoms. There are also 20,000 square kilometers of private fields, whose owners are also nobles, and...are really directly in the hands of Hanoi County. The land of the Taishou Mansion is only 10,000 square kilometers."
"This is obviously not enough!"
"If we could hold all the land in our hands, the theoretical limit would be 105 million acres."
"In reality, of course this is impossible. Taking into account various factors, being able to cultivate 80 million acres of land is almost the limit."
"If the 80 million acres of land can be fully irrigated, then introduce improved varieties from Yancheng, then learn the knowledge based on the latest agricultural journals published by Yancheng, and then spend money to hire people from Yancheng to teach us how to farm..."
Young Master Sizheng was listening with great interest, but suddenly Li Kui stopped. Because many people had doubts on their faces, Li Kui began to explain.
“It goes without saying that farming is a major subject, and the importance of agriculture goes without saying.”
"One acre of paddy field, according to the old farming method, would cost three to four stones of grain."
"But if we adopt Yancheng's improved seeds, local treasures (fertilizers), and farming methods, we can increase the yield to ten dan. This is a qualitative change."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I believe that you can use magic on a small scale and use the power of Taoism to clear out a few acres of land and make the yield reach ten stones. But you can directly cultivate the land and grow ten stones without relying on Taoism. Yield, this is bragging, didn’t I never farm when I was a kid?”
Li Kui didn't care about the other party's rudeness, because most people would think it was nonsense when they heard this kind of thing for the first time: "It's summer now. In fact, as early as last winter, large-scale attacks began on Dongning Island. Using struvite, the yields are amazing.”
"Today, Tubao has been invented in Yancheng, but not many people in the world know about it, because Tubao was only invented this spring. Yancheng plans to grow more types of soil to prove the effect of Tubao, and then expand it. .”
"The reason why I learned about this is that I have been paying attention to farming. If you don't believe it, you can go to Dongning Island to observe it in person. Seeing is believing."
"When the yield per mu reaches ten dan or more, the annual output of one thousand acres of land is ten thousand dan. We can use the leveling method to purchase unlimited amounts of grain at the standard of one hundred dan of grain. In this way, one thousand dan The total annual income from one mu of land is one million yuan."
"One million dollars a year is enough to support a Taoist soldier and enable him to live a relatively comfortable life with plenty of food and drink."
"Of the 80 million acres of land, 20 million acres of land can be dedicated to raising and training the army. This will result in 20,000 Taoist soldiers!"
"In order to allow the Taoist soldiers to train well without any worries, the 20 million acres of land will be cultivated directly by the prefecture. When the autumn harvest comes every year, the money will be paid directly to the Taoist soldiers on time."
"In this way, the Taoist soldiers can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the military camp and train hard every day. The direct jurisdiction of the prefecture can also ensure that no one will reach out randomly and ultimately damage the entire system."
"As for how to train troops, I leave it to Brother Pang."
Hearing this, a young man sitting nearby nodded proudly: "Brother Li, don't worry, I have learned a lot of military techniques from my master, and I also have a lot of experience in Taoist training."
"It's actually not difficult to become a yellow-level Taoist soldier, as long as you have enough soldiers and enough food."
"The most difficult thing in this is not the various training methods, but whether the prefect's mansion can always ensure that the soldiers have enough food."
"If there are really 20 million acres of land, and the yield per mu is as high as ten shi, then it will be 20 billion in military expenditures every year. As long as this much money is spent in place, it will not be difficult to train ordinary people into Tao soldiers."
Having said this, the young man hesitated for a moment and then continued: "However, the Taoist soldiers trained in such a short period of time have a poor foundation and will have difficulty making progress in the future. It is basically impossible to become a Xuan-level Taoist soldier, even if you want to It is also very difficult to become a stronger Huang-level Taoist soldier."
"One million dollars per soldier per year may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not spent at all."
"A set of high-quality iron armor costs tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and black armor sold on a large scale in Yancheng starts at several million dollars."
"Nowadays, if you want to train Taoist soldiers, it has become standard to give them a black armor."
"It is actually not difficult for ordinary people to become a qualified Taoist soldier within three years. There are more than one training methods, but they basically consume future potential. Once you become a Taoist soldier, it is over and it is difficult to continue. progress."
"And such Taoist soldiers are basically relatively weak. If you want to increase your strength, you can only think of ways to improve your strength through armor and weapons. A set of mysterious armor costs millions of dollars. If you add in the magic weapons, Like, a Taoist soldier starts with 10 million yuan."
"And if you want Tao soldiers to retain their potential, you must either extend the training time from three years to ten years, or carefully select suitable soldiers first. Everyone's foundation is different. Some people can, Some people can’t.”
"Either we invest more, a million dollars a year, it's still too little!"
"Essentially, after training, if you want to maintain it every year, one million dollars a year is enough, but training an army from scratch and preparing mysterious armor and magic weapons are very expensive."
"And if you want to train Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, it will be more difficult. It will cost more and take longer. Ten years is the minimum to start, and there is also the risk of failure."
"In today's world, there are only a handful of people who are absolutely sure that they can train a Xuan-level Taoist. Even I am not completely sure at this moment. It may not be until I reach the level of Uncle Changqing."
Listening to the professionals' words, Li Kui nodded to express his understanding, and then looked at Gongzi Si beside him.
Young Master Si coughed and said, "With this reform, we can stay in Hanoi County for at least twenty years, and if necessary, thirty years."
Mr. Si gave reassurance, and Li Kui continued: "Young Master has already said that we have thirty years this time."
"However, we can't wait until thirty years later to have a decisive battle with Taiping County."
"So, we can have a fight."
Having said this, Li Kui looked at the young man again: "Brother Pang, if you have enough soldiers and food, in three years, can you refine a yellow-level Taoist soldier with potential? Several thousand are enough."
The young man thought for a while and said, "No problem. There are still 1.5 million people in the entire Hanoi County. Among them, there are at least 150,000 mature men. Even if you only pick one out of a hundred, you can still pick out 1,500 people."
"If you have enough soldiers and enough food, you can pick one out of ten and train these fifteen thousand people from scratch."
"After one year, five thousand people will be selected from the fifteen thousand people for further training."
"After another year, two thousand people will be selected from the five thousand people for final training."
"In this way, it won't be a big problem to train two thousand yellow-level Taoist soldiers with good potential in three years."
"Then the first step is to block the Chao River, crack down on human trafficking, and deprive the feudal nobles of their land, so that they have no power to govern the people and can only benefit from taxation."
After hearing this, a noble finally spoke up: "Brother Li, we just deprive the nobles of their power to govern the people without any reason or excuse. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Following the sound, Li Kui saw an old acquaintance. His name was Gong Shucuo. He was a thousand-year-old prime minister and an old minister sent by the contemporary Wei Jun of Gongzi Si's father to assist Gongzi Si.
In fact, Gongshu Cuo does not feel that he is old. On the contrary, he has always felt that he is in his prime, still has a lot of future, and is still young.
However, when he came to Gongzisi, he found that compared with these young people who were already prime ministers under the age of 100, he was indeed old. Therefore, Gongshu Cuo has rarely spoken out. Once he speaks up, it must be because he really can't stand it anymore.
Just like at this moment, Gongshu Cuo felt that it was understandable for you to reform, but you couldn't do it by any means necessary.
"Political leaders should at least be reasonable and respectable on the surface."
"Brother Li, you have great talent, I know that."
"Brother Li, your reforms will be very beneficial to Hanoi County, and I know that too."
"However, at least on the surface, we cannot arbitrarily deprive the nobles of their power to govern the people. In any case, for so many thousands of years, the world has been governed by the nobles. Even if we want to replace the nobles with officials, it is justified, right? This is justified. This principle was highly praised by Confucius."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Kui's face became even brighter, and his father-in-law looked confused.
Regarding Gong Shucuo's doubts, Li Kuiba had no choice but to raise his eyebrows.
"It's very simple, depriving the nobles of their power to govern the people is not unreasonable, everything will be very reasonable."
"Next, the Lord only needs to declare that Yancheng is the enemy of Chao Kingdom."
"Before today, we don't care about the actions of the nobles, and we don't care whether they are traitors to the country."
"After today, it is forbidden to betray the country!"
"And these nobles have already made a lot of money in the process of doing business with Yancheng. It's impossible for them to stop."
"This is an aboveboard and aboveboard move, and no one can say anything."
"After those traitorous nobles are caught, the governor's office will definitely be determined to execute them or even deprive them of their fiefdoms. However, the prince is kind, and only a very small number of heinous people will be deprived of their fiefdoms. The rest will only be deprived of the right to govern the people, but they will still be deprived of their fiefdoms. Preserve tax benefits."
"As for those who were lucky enough to escape, it doesn't matter. The nobles here are closely connected, and everyone is a relative. Since they are relatives, they are also suspected of collaborating with the enemy..."
"Besides, even if nothing is really done, it doesn't matter. We will compile the Dharma Scripture next. After the Dharma Scripture is compiled, it will be published throughout the county. The nobles will definitely not be able to do it, because in the past, There is no law in their minds."
"There's no need to push the flames, just wait for them to make mistakes."
"A group of fiefs will be confiscated for collaborating with the enemy, and a group of fiefs will be confiscated for violating the law. Those who are left are truly honest nobles, and their number will definitely be small."
"For these nobles, you can just redeem Yancheng Guzhi directly."
"Yancheng has tried every possible means to send the county captains and county magistrates of the past dynasties to Dongning Island to cultivate immortality. These are the famous One Hundred and Seventy-Three Families of the East China Sea."
"We can send these few nobles to Wei Jun's fiefdom, or we can send them to Qufu Academy or Donghai Academy to serve as a cultivating family."
"In the small city of Yancheng, you can get the treasures that the nobles are interested in. The young master is the young master of the Wei family, so there will only be more good things."
