Chapter 199 Benefits
"First of all, I suggest that you launch the Mansion Newspaper and call on everyone to discuss whether this reform is good or bad. As long as you are a monk, everyone can discuss it, everyone can..." Zhou Xing felt a thump in his heart when he said this. Learn about the situation here.He originally wanted to say that everyone could submit a letter, but then he remembered that even though he had been in Shangluo for so many years, he had never heard of an ordinary monk submitting a letter.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel unconfident again, and when he spoke again, his momentum was not as strong as before.

"In short, try to get people who support this reform to unite and form a huge public opinion. With public opinion to open the way, things will come naturally."

Jordan listened carefully to what I said, pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "The mansion report is issued by the state capital, and all the people you can see are officials from the states and counties. It is not appropriate to use this. However, Brother Gao means that I mean Got it, I think I know what to do."

After Jordan left in a hurry, Zhou Xing sat on the sofa and meditated for a while, and then asked Du Chou to come over.

Although he didn't know much about this world, he was in the age of information explosion. From ancient times to the present, there have been almost no successful examples of reforms like Luo Shangqiaoden's.In the conversation with Jordan just now, he had gently persuaded Jordan a few words, but the other party didn't listen at all. He was just thinking about how to implement the plan according to the plan, and how to get the spiritual fields in various counties first. Re-measure to clarify how to make detailed statistics on the difference between the monks registered in Yizhou and the actual monks.

He remembered that a great politician in his world once said: Politics is to have more friends and fewer enemies, so that success can be achieved.

Although Zhou Xing can't think of carrying out such a reform for the time being, he can make more friends and fewer enemies at the same time, but what he can be sure of is that if Jordan does this, it must not be more friends and fewer enemies, even if he listens to his own method and strives for more people. poor monks.

"Bad idea!" Zhou Xing thought regretfully, "A monk from a poor family is just a piece of loose sand, unless he can just knead this piece of loose sand together through various transformations like that great figure in that world. But in these two worlds, apart from that figure, Who else has that ability?"

"My lord, why did you summon your subordinates?" Du Chou hurried in and asked.

"Mr. Du," Zhou Xing naturally wouldn't say that he just gave Qiao Deng a bad idea that he didn't think through, "What do you think of this reform implemented by Mr. Luo Shijun in Yizhou?"

"It's nothing more than a replay of the reform of Wang Ji at the end of the Shang Dynasty." Du Chou obviously had a plan for this, "This is the main reason why my subordinates have never let you, my lord, apply for the enlistment of Luo Shijun. 20 years, the reputation is unparalleled. But even so, after implementing this policy that seems to benefit the country and the people, within a few years, the world was full of soldiers, and he himself was decapitated. Although Luo Shijun is also worthy Not to mention him, the famous person on the other side is His Royal Highness King Qi, how can he have such a high reputation as Wang Ji back then. If you act too hastily, it’s too late."

Du Chou couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he said this, and continued: "Although the king of Qi advocated righteousness, he destroyed Zhao Wang Shenxiu and re-established the emperor's grandson as the emperor, but he shouldn't show off his power to alienate relatives, and he failed to leave CD Wang Daoyi as his assistant. Politics. Back in the day, Duke Yin’s relative was so virtuous, and assisting King Cheng was especially a disaster for Guan Cai. How can King Qi be compared with Duke Yin? Even his dead father can’t do it.”

"The Great Jin won the country by abdication, not by conquering the world." Du Chou watched Zhou Xing listen carefully, and continued to talk: "The advantage is that the political situation of the Great Jin is loose and inclusive, but the disadvantage is also the same. In the past, Emperor Wu of Zhou assisted the Later Shang Dynasty. After 2000 years of fighting, he only sealed [-] households. His generals ranged from more than [-] households to hundreds of households. Even so, people at that time were proud of it. When King Wen of Jin assisted the Great Zhou At that time, Zhong Hui was dispatched to destroy the Shu merchants. He made great achievements in destroying the country, and the reward was [-] households. Thousands of households, but the title is already the Duke of the county. Not to mention that Yang Jun conferred more than a thousand marquises in one day in order to secure his position as an auxiliary government. Why are there so many national treasures here! Since ancient times, there have been no such The number of changes in the Great Jin today is not as large as it is today. Ge Tai, as the king of Qi and long history, was also named the Duke of the county. , all heartbroken."

Speaking of this, Du Chou was heartbroken, "The top priority of the Great Jin Dynasty is not to equalize Lingtian, but to stop this trend of unreasonable rewards. Junhou, let me say a word of punishment, such unreasonable rewards are to encourage those who hold hands The confidant of the heavy army urged his lord to rebel. Shen Xiuge Tai is an example. If he succeeds, he can seal a county in one fell swoop. Compared with such a huge benefit, failure seems so insignificant."

"Hiss." Hearing this, Zhou Xing gasped. He hadn't thought about it so much at all. After listening to Du Chou's analysis of people's hearts, he realized the seriousness of the problem. "According to what Mr. Du said, Qi Will Wang Dingran be kicked out?"

"It's just an inevitable thing." Du Chou said firmly: "It's CD King Hejian who understands the righteousness and doesn't want to raise troops, but they have so many subordinates? Who doesn't want to be a prince and a duke? In the current situation, everyone just lacks one It's just an excuse to crusade against King Qi."

"Hmph," Du Chou said, sneered a few times, and continued, "I'm afraid it will be the day of chaos in Yizhou, and it will be the time when the Sifang vassals crusade against the King of Qi."

"I'll go!" Zhou Xingxin said: "I finally left the place of right and wrong in Shangluo, and Xindao came to Yizhou, a paradise to enjoy life, but I didn't expect to be able to escape. Moreover, listening to Du Chou's words, it seems that the world It's going to be a mess. Do I have to hide in Ningzhou?"

"My lord, I have the courage to ask you." Du Chou stared at Zhou Xing and said solemnly, "If there is chaos in the world one day, I don't know what the lord's plan is?"

"Yeah, the world is in chaos, what can I do?" Zhou Xing heard Du Chou asking him this way, and many thoughts came to his mind.

Fight for world hegemony?

I might be summoned back by those white coats one day, I don't belong to this world at all, and it seems that it has nothing to do with me whether I want to fight for hegemony or not.

Besides, what do you rely on to compete for world hegemony?
Without the aura of domineering, I don't know the direction of history.In terms of insights and abilities, are you top-notch?The only thing I can be confident about is my own cultivation.

Zhou Xing thought for a long time, and then he said solemnly: "If the world is in chaos one day, all I can do is to protect the people here, obey the destiny, and do what people do, that's all."

"Mr. Du, I also have a question." Zhou Xing paused after speaking, and then asked: "With Mr.'s great talent, why do you want to submit to my little Bo Daohou?"

"Nothing," Du Chou smiled slightly, "because my lord has a benevolent heart."

The two days at the end of each month are the days when the states and counties distribute their salaries. Every few days, every state capital and county will be crowded with people. The big furniture is full of laughter, some with bags of different sizes, some He even pushed the trolley to the treasury in the city, and lined up in a long line to receive the precious and unusual spiritual grain.

Of course, monks from wealthy families generally would not come to line up. Naturally, the servants of the family would do these things.And even so, these servants would usually take away the spiritual valley that belonged to their master a day or two in advance.Therefore, almost all those who came to line up to receive the granary salary these two days were poor monks.

Jordan just saw this opportunity.

He almost didn't adopt what Zhou Xing said to him, except Zhou Xing's thinking.After returning to CD from Bodao, he immediately wrote an article on the New Deal himself, which was printed countless copies.At this time, he stood at the door of the treasury and asked his subordinates to distribute it to the monks who came from all over Shu County.

"Fellow monks," Jordan first flew to stand on top of the huge stone lion at the entrance of the treasury so that everyone behind could see him, "I am Jordan, from Qiao's family in Shu County. Everyone has heard about some of the things that happened, and I, Qiao Deng, am here today to further explain the new policy of Lord Shijun."

Jordan was also very nervous at the beginning. He had never done such a thing, and he had never even heard of anyone doing such a thing.Since ancient times, everyone has followed orders.What policies and measures are there, the boss makes an order, whether the subordinate agrees or disagrees, the big guy executes it.As for those who are not even officials, they have no right to speak, and no one cares what they think.

No one would do such a thing, no one would even think so, except Zhou Xing, who was never lost in this world.

The chief official of a state or even a county is also called Mushou, who is the emperor's Mushou side.The common people are like those cattle and sheep, and the governor of the governor is like those grazing people.It's just that the cattle and sheep belong to the emperor, not the shepherd's own.But in any case, for the shepherds, do they care about the feelings of the cattle and sheep?Will you consider the ideas of cattle and sheep?

No one cares, including the former Jordan.

He mused over this question on his way back immediately to CD.Although Jordan is very proud, he has never been a rigid person. He is very smart and studious, otherwise he would not have such a reputation at this age.Zhou Xing said a lot, but apart from this train of thought, other ideas can be completely ignored in Jordan's mind.But it's this idea, which seems to solve the problems he encountered in one go.

He had no doubt that the poor monks supported this reform, even if there were oppositions, they were still in the minority.

The first thing he thought of was Wang Ji in the late Shang Dynasty.Didn't Wang Dang finally succeed in usurping the business by relying on his huge reputation accumulated over decades?
But even so, Wang Ji's supporters are all those who are well-known, wealthy or high-ranking officials, and they have never considered the ideas of humble monks.

Thinking of this, Jordan was very panicked.

What Luo Shang did was essentially the same as what Wang Dang did back then, only some improvements were made on the basis of Wang Dang.The main targets of Wang Teng's reforms were the honorable relatives of the former Shang Dynasty. Wang Teng relied on monks who gradually occupied the imperial court and even various states and counties.

"Who is your friend? Who is your enemy? This is revolution, no, ahem, this is the first problem that reform must face." In his mind, Zhou Xing solemnly said to him again. sentence.

He instinctively disliked this sentence.

Either friend or foe?

So my father is also my enemy?

This was his first reaction when he heard Zhou Xing's words.But at this time, when he recalled Zhou Xing's words again, he discovered with horror that Zhou Xing's words were correct, at least in terms of what he wanted to do.

My father is my enemy?

Who am I then?

He couldn't figure it out.He bypassed the question, he forced himself to stop thinking about it.

Yes, Wang Ji failed in the end.But his early stage was successful, which means that Zhou Xing's thinking is correct.

Regarding Wang Teng's failure, his great-grandfather once said this: "Although everyone said that Wang Teng was a national traitor, everyone knew in their hearts that Wang Teng wanted to change the situation that the former Shang Dynasty was about to collapse. Xungui's relatives occupy tens of thousands of acres of spiritual land at every turn, and continue to plunder. The monks in the world have long been unable to bear this situation. So when Wang Ji proposed his reform measures, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the monks in the world The fault of Wang Ji is not his reform measures, but that he should not have usurped the foundation of the merchants for more than 300 years. In view of the failure of the former merchants, the later merchants greatly restricted the occupation of land by nobles and foreign relatives, and this ushered in the later Shang Ming Zhang Shengshi, this allowed Liu merchants to continue for more than 200 years."

Yes, Wang Ji was wrong in that he shouldn't usurp the business's foundation, but now the person who implements this policy is himself a member of the Huangfu family.As Jordan thought this way, his fear slowly dissipated.

Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the spiritual fields of Xungui and even the vassal kings have been established from the very beginning. Whenever there is a robbery, the officials in charge of supervising the vassal kings and Xungui will report these things to the court. Cut households, and more importantly, cut nobles.But even so, in Jordan's view, it was not enough.

As long as the Lingtian is not surveyed for a day, then this kind of stealing will continue to happen.The Jin Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years. Although the occupation of land by vassal kings and nobles is not particularly serious, the occupation of land by those relying on vassal kings and nobles is still developing very rapidly.

In Qiao Deng's view, only when every monk's spiritual field is fixed from top to bottom, just like the one formulated by King Qi Huangfuyou, will this phenomenon not continue to happen, and the Great Jin will have long-term stability and peace in the world. Only then will there be long-term peace and stability.

It was this belief that supported Jordan, and supported him to speak eloquently in front of someone he never cared about, rather than in front of high-ranking officials and nobles.

"...Re-measure the spiritual fields, distribute them according to the number of people, and truly realize that every cultivator has his own land. This is a good thing. This is a great good thing. This is not only related to the long-term stability of Dajin, but also to every one of you present. People's interests. However, now, those who own a lot of spiritual fields resist and obstruct this policy, making it impossible for Mr. Shijun to carry out this reform.
