Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 112 Changing the method of selecting officials!

What Liu Jing said was actually not false.

Perhaps looking back at the Han Dynasty, among the eras of several other emperors, even the period of Emperor Wen of Han who was admired by later generations.

Another aspect of governing by inaction is that local governments do not have the manpower to govern counties.

Liu Che couldn't say that this method was bad, but he couldn't say it was good either.

Where there is no "strong dragon", there are local snakes.

Therefore, under the rule of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, local tyrants were also accelerating the expansion of their "territories", just like bamboo shoots popping up after a spring rain!

But after Liu Che ascended the throne, everything changed.

In addition to his "merits" in expanding territory, he also set a framework for the empires of later generations in terms of issuing government orders and exercising power. At the same time, in order to maintain this high-loaded national destiny, he launched several expeditions...

Whether it was respecting Confucianism or employing cruel officials, although the side effects were great, he actually achieved his goal.

The people of the entire Han Empire are like worker ants in an ant nest, dedicating every drop of blood and sweat to the Han Dynasty all the time!
Under their large-scale plunder, no matter whether they were "poor or rich, old or weak, wealthy and noble," all were "plundered and exploited."

Therefore, there are few emperors in the entire history who can match Liu Che's methods.

In his later years, he became completely extreme, violent, and suspicious... He even intensified his exploitation and used extremely bloody methods!
This is why Liu Jing said earlier that "the entire forest has been plucked clean."

Therefore, what we need to do now is to restore new life and resume production!

just.

To Liu Che and even his ministers.

Liu Jing's words were too shocking. Could such words as "draining the pond to catch all the fish and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs" be said at this time?
The joy on Liu Ju's face that had previously shown up seemed to be frozen.

After hearing Liu Jing's repeated words, he no longer knew when to be happy and when to be sad.

"Grandson of the Emperor Jing!" At this time, the Imperial Censor Bao Shengzhi said angrily: "You are more arrogant than the sky. Where did you get so much creation? Where did you create something from nothing?"

"If something like a saddle could be created at any time, the Han Dynasty would have destroyed the Xiongnu long ago, and the people would be able to eat and wear warm clothes without having to use the land!"

His words are full of sarcasm. Anyone can say those words, and who can't stand aside and criticize?
He vaguely remembered that Emperor Jing's grandson seemed to have resorted to his 'old tricks' again and began to take pleasure in contradicting His Majesty.

Do you like playing with fire and disobeying your superiors?
What a madman!

And just as he was cursing in his heart.

Prime Minister Liu Quti already sneered:

"Does Grandson Jing think that by creating these saddles, he can restore the forest?"

He was making a double entendre.

Taking advantage of Liu Jing's "pillar theory", he launched an attack!
He also discovered that this statement was very novel. It could avoid taboos while also achieving what he wanted to say.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt excited.

Previously, the ministers had "fought" with Emperor Jing's grandson, not because they were not good at verbal battles, but because the other party was too shameless and would talk about Your Majesty at every turn.

A minister will not point out the king's faults!

He dared to say it, but they didn't. Therefore, every time this happened, besides being horrified and dazed, they could only say things like "treason and deceiving the emperor".

How can we make him confess his crime if we tie his hands and feet?

Therefore, this gave him the opportunity to escape the "Witchcraft Disaster", and even allowed him to shine in Liangzhou, and even defeated Li Guangli today!
As a descendant of the royal family, it seems that he really needs to gain a foothold.

After all, when it comes to "military and national affairs", His Majesty is extremely "tolerant" towards anyone and can tolerate their insolence.

The former champion Hou Huo Qubing was like this.

Not to mention, this person is a descendant of Liu!

If he could really show his talent for "military strategy", and cater to His Majesty in the future and expand the territory... Thinking of this...

Liu Quti was simply horrified. Under such circumstances, His Majesty had previously treated the Crown Prince as "not like a father"!
If this happens to Emperor Jing's grandson, wouldn't it become "Grandson is too similar to me"?
By then, the previous arrogance and arrogance of Grandson Jing would probably be regarded as a kind of self-persuasion in the eyes of Your Majesty.

He has contradicted Your Majesty several times. In Your Majesty's eyes, should he also become a loyal minister like "Bi Gan"? No! Not a loyal minister, but a "loyal heir to the country" and a "loyal heir to the Liu family"!
If it really comes to this, then don't even think about it.

The past mistakes will be like a knife hanging around your own neck in the future.

Therefore, now, Liu Quti seized the opportunity and spoke boldly with the "pillar theory".

"If we follow what Emperor Jing said before, that the towering tree is stealing the vitality of the new trees around it, then is the owner of this forest also like this tree, stealing the vitality of the entire forest?"

The voice just fell.

The ministers who reacted looked at Liu Quti in a daze.

What is the other person doing?
Liu Quti's heart was also beating wildly. He quickly patched it up, "Your Majesty, I asked him according to what Emperor Jing said. If not, he has been disobedient several times, and I really don't know how to blame him!"

Liu Che's expression remained unchanged, only the emperor's majesty became more intense.

His gaze was intimidating as it moved between Liu Quti and Liu Jing. Anyone could sense the hidden anger within.

"Prime Minister, destroying the forest is intentional destruction. It can be corrected at any time. Even if the owner stops cutting down trees and starts maintaining them, it will eventually become a dense forest again!"

"And usurpation is unconscious usurpation and disorderly expansion. When necessary, it must be cut back!"

Liu Jing also used a double entendre.

At the same time, he felt that he could not continue to speak these "empty words", but should really start from one of the main threads, which could also be regarded as answering some of the questions he had previously raised.

"Before this, the owner of the forest had summoned a large number of loggers who only knew how to cut down trees. Sometimes, in order to achieve their goals, even new seedlings were cut down..."

"If this continues for a long time, all the people recruited will be lumberjacks."

“And now is not the time to cut down trees.”

Liu Jing said seriously, "It's time to maintain and grow the seedlings. Therefore, the standards set for recruiting lumberjacks before, such as measuring the distance of falling trees and sawing skills, will naturally be abolished."

"Next, we need to change the standards. For example, we need to learn how to fertilize the soil, how to breed and test the land, and how to make the trees bloom and bear fruit as soon as possible... We even need to divide the land. Which land should be used to plant fruit trees, which land can be used to plant wheat seedlings and corn, and which land can only be used to plant pillars..."

"This type of talent is what needs to be recruited as soon as possible!"

In an instant, Liu Che looked at his ministers.

But I don’t know why, they were peaceful words.

At this moment, all the officials around felt the chill penetrating deep into their bones!

This is because everyone knows that this is not breeding, but educating people!

And at the same moment.

Liu Che obviously understood what the other party was talking about.

His eyes were burning.

It is already clear that the other party has begun to answer the original question.

But...his goal, no! His ambition is too big!

Once these words are spoken, it will offend the entire county, vassal states, and even the current ministers!

Because, seemingly a small change of lumberjacks!
In fact, it is a method of changing the selection of officials!
