Lu Dynasty

Chapter 407 Restructuring (4)
Restructuring is a very simple matter. I just need to announce at the court that neither Liu Bian nor Guo Jia will object to it. What will really be resisted by them should be my plan to improve the status of craftsmen and merchants.After all, in ancient China, the order of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce was established by aristocratic families.In China until the Qing Dynasty, during these thousands of years, did no emperor realize that the combination of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce can make the country prosperous and strong?This is definitely impossible!But they were restricted by the aristocratic family.The founding emperors who can really change all these are often people with insufficient knowledge. Even if he is as wise as Tang Taizong Li Shimin, he is more military generals than scribes.Although they are determined to reform and hope to reform, due to the limitations of vision and knowledge, they can only listen to the opinions of their counselors and civil servants. It is a pity that these counselors and civil servants are either descendants of aristocratic families or students of descendants of aristocratic families. The rules their ancestors followed.

After leaving the court hall, I looked up at the sky, the time was close to noon, I thought Kong Rong and Mi Heng should have woken up too!I walked slowly towards the mansion, and before I entered the door, I heard someone calling me, and when I looked back, it was Liu Bian who followed.I smiled and said, "Why did Bian'er come here? Have you finished what you're doing?"

Liu Bian laughed and said, "Could it be that Brother Lu won't allow me to enter the mansion after I ascended the throne? Don't worry, I can have many things! Recently, Mr. Xi knew that I worked hard, so he gave me an exaggerated vacation! So I'm like Big brother Lu said, steal half a day's leisure!"

"Recently, my eloquence has improved a lot. I know I've been free for half a day! Let's go! Since you're here, join me for a drink or two and talk about how you feel about being the emperor again!" I pulled Liu Bian and walked towards the hall .

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw four old men, Kong Rong, Mi Heng, Cai Yong, and Qiao Xuan, drinking there.Because Liu Bian was walking behind me, and I was much bigger than Liu Bian, the four old men only saw me, not him.Cai Yong's old face was flushed, and when he saw me, he smiled and said, "My son-in-law, Mr. Qiao is back. He is very happy to hear that His Highness Bian has succeeded to the throne. These old fellows all said that we are saved! With you Lu Ba first assisted the emperor, that is, Zhou Gong assisted the king!" Cai Yong and the others were authentic loyal officials of the Han Dynasty, but they did not have the strength to help the Han Dynasty.Now Liu Bian has succeeded to the throne, and they are very clear about my ability, so they are very excited.

"Yes, yes! Bo Jie, you have found a good son-in-law! Why don't you let my daughter marry Baxian too!" Qiao Xuan also got a little drunk!

Cai Yong ignored Qiao Xuan, he laughed and said: "This old man has been dim-sighted all his life, and he hasn't done anything well. Even so, there are three things that I am most proud of! First, the old man's calligraphy is a big man Number one, number two, the old man gave birth to a daughter who is both talented and gentle and considerate, and the third is to pick a bully and be the son-in-law first!" Cai Yong, an old boy, said he was fat, and he gasped.

Liu Bian looked at these four old men behind me and was really speechless. You Heng saw me standing there all the time, so he smiled and said, "Ba Xian, we are friends for years, come and have a drink with us." Cai Yong And Qiao Xuan and Kong Rong started to growl after hearing Mi Heng's words.

"My lords, I brought a friend to drink with you!" I moved away abruptly, and Liu Bian stood in front of the four old men.

Mi Heng had never met Liu Bian before, so he smiled and said: "Ba Xian's friend is my friend, don't be restrained, come, have a drink first!" As he said that, Mi Heng picked up a glass of wine and was about to hand it to Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty" Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan, and Kong Rong turned around and saw Mi Heng handing a glass of wine to Liu Bian. Kong Rong hurriedly pulled Mi Heng to pay homage to Liu Bian, and Cai Yong and Liu Bian had a good relationship. It was just to say hello to him, after all, Liu Bian's mother and Cai Yong had already worn a pair of pants, and Cai Yong was Liu Bian's half father!Standing by the side, Qiao Xuan didn't know whether to kneel or sit!Liu Bian looked at the elders and said with a smile: "All are exempt from the ceremony. As I said, the big man is exempted from the kneeling ceremony! Master Kong and the two gentlemen should also sit down!" When Liu Bian came, the four old men immediately restrained themselves .

"Bian'er, let's go to Jimin Restaurant to drink! You are here, except for my father-in-law who has been with you for a long time, Mr. Kong and the others must not drink well!" Liu Bian is the emperor now, even if he is a puppet Liu Xieqiang!Kong Rong and Qiao Xuan are both rigid Confucians!Liu Bian nodded and left with me, and the four old men breathed a sigh of relief.

In the private room of Jimin Restaurant, I invited the shopkeeper to a banquet, and we had a drink with Liu Bian.Liu Bian sighed, and I asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Bian'er? Today is your first day as the emperor again. Is there anything wrong?"

"Brother Lu, you don't know. In the court hall, I called myself Zhen and called you to be Lu Qing, and suddenly I felt so lonely! To be honest, Brother Lu, you should be the emperor!" Liu Bian passed After a few years of happy life, he was afraid that he would go back to the past.

"What's so lonely! Silly boy, I'm still your elder brother Lu! If I can be the emperor now, why do I have to make things difficult for you? My reform has just begun, and I must have a strong identity to support it. Umbrella for the rain!" I smiled and said, "Don't tell me that Bian'er won't help me?"

"Of course not, but I see that Brother Lu's imperial court organization arrangement did not do anything out of line. Why do you need me to shelter from the wind and rain?" Liu Bian was very puzzled by what I said, and he also learned from Xi Zhicai. He can see a lot of things. The system I am talking about is not too much beyond the Dahan system. If it is different, it means that the division of powers and department names are different.In Liu Bian's view, it's not a big deal to change the name and redefine the functions and powers!
"This is the beginning. What I'm going to do next is what will be slandered. You have to be prepared!" Liu Bian didn't know what I was going to do, so it was normal for him to be a little worried.

"Brother Lu, what is your plan? Can you tell me, so that I can prepare myself!" Liu Bian saw the seriousness of what I said, and wanted to know the general idea first!
"Then I'll tell you! You must not tell anyone what I said!" Seeing my serious expression, Liu Bian nodded vigorously, and I said, "Next, I will raise the status of craftsmen and merchants to stimulate Economic and technological development, while restricting the confinement of Confucianism on Han people's thoughts, and even revising the Confucian classics, and allowing the thoughts of other schools to re-emerge on the stage of history, so that the great Han will once again open an era of blooming flowers. Finally, these thoughts Integrate, then integrate, and find a path suitable for the development of our great Han nation for thousands of years."
