Chapter 243 The Rebellion of the Counties
This year was another large-scale turmoil after 25 years of peace in Qinchuan mainland, which was called a historical event of the chaos of the counties by later scholars. * It was the crown prince of Qinchuan Emperor, and all the royal members were transferred to Tianyuan City. The management and control ability of the county guards was weakened, resulting in the formation of alliances between counties, requiring Qinchuan Emperor to decentralize five powers for the counties.
First, the common right of business between counties. Qinchuan Emperor learned from the experience of the previous dynasty and strengthened the control of the county business system. By setting up special projects in each county government, organizations such as bounty chambers and mercenaries need to be controlled as long as they involve financial interests. Therefore, the first thing Xu Geminchan wanted to establish a bounty guild was to need the cooperation of the local government.
Second, the upper limit of the counties' armies. In order to control the number of troops in the counties, Qinchuan Emperor set the upper limit of the army according to the area of each county. That is, large counties such as Tiannan and eastern Shaanxi can independently recruit 100,000 troops, and medium-sized counties such as Beiling can recruit 80,000 troops. Of course, decades have passed, and even Lin Jinhe knows that the counties below have long been more tolerant, but turning a blind eye and completely agreeing are two different things.
Third, counties have the right to appoint and remove officials. The most powerful power of the empire lies in the personnel power of the government that can control the counties. If this responsibility belongs to the government, it will undoubtedly weaken the control of the whole country again.
Fourth, the counties pay taxes and serve the dispatch. This request did not ** barely ask for complete tax reduction, but told Lin Jinhe several reasons why the taxes in the world are too high and it is difficult for the people to support, so he hopes that Lin Jinhe can reduce or exempt some taxes, including a small part of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and by-fishing.
Fifth, the organization of bounty guilds is opened between counties. From this request, it can be read that there is the figure of Beiling County behind the whole county rebellion.
A few years later, the historical review said that this may be the greatest change in the history of Qinchuan mainland, because on the one hand, it threatened the hegemony of the empire, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of the people (taxes), and more importantly, it was a banner of human rights liberalization (legalization of the bounty guild).
Lin Jinhe has no reason and can't disobey these five requirements. Although he and Cui Shan thought that although Zhujun had sent many people to participate in Tianyuan's edict, there was no county guard or a substantial local leader to surrender.
"I didn't expect that the seven emperors of Shuiyun would buy out those county guards!" Lin Jinhe threw the belated report to the ground fiercely. After so long, when the news came, the counties had issued a joint statement, and the report had become a dispensable complaint.
Cui Shan closed his eyes. He didn't expect that the woman to be so cruel this time. No wonder the seven emperors of Shuiyun are the people who know Cui Shan best in the world today. He is the most hurt by him, but he knows how to use methods to defeat him.
"Your Majesty, for today's plan, we can only send a letter to His Royal Highness Lin Yin to see if he can seize the two counties of Beiling and Xichuan in the northwest, and our focus should be on the two counties of Tiannan and eastern Shaanxi. From now on, all the disasters in the world can be solved. Only by solving these two places can the whole situation be saved.
Lin Jinhe knows that every decision of Cui Shan is right. Now this situation is completely the previous chronic disease and can't find the best way.
"I want to ask Master Ren to go out and win over people's hearts. Do you think this is okay?" Lin Jinhe brewed for a long time and finally made this decision.
Cui Shan shook his head and said, "Master Ren is not the time to come forward. If you really get to that point, it's not too late to come forward. Now Master Ren is preparing for a ten-year appointment with Tang Ran. At this time, he is distracted. If he loses to Tang Ran at that time, it will be really a big deal.
Lin Jinhe nodded. Ren Heng, the myth of heaven, can be said to be his ultimate magic weapon. It was because of Ren Heng's strong support that he was able to ascend to the throne. Over the years, although Ren Heng has always spent most of his time on cultivation, every important decision will still appear. For example, in order to understand the Zheng family of the four major families, one of the reasons was that Ren Heng acquiesced. Why is Ren Heng hostile to the Zheng family? The Zheng family has a close relationship with the State of Xiding. Xiding is the birthplace of Tang Ran. Even if the war between the two peerless masters is not involved in common things, if they can step on it, they will often not step on it.
"It is no longer possible to recall Lin Yin. She did not come back from the last royal edict. It seems that my decision this time did hurt her too deeply. Over the years, she has done a lot for this empire, and sometimes she has even abandoned some feelings. Lin Jinhe's face is still beautiful and enchanting, but Cui Shan somehow saw some old. He is a smart man. He knows that Lin Jinhe has lost his previous domineering spirit. I'm afraid it will take a lot of ups and downs to get out.
Cui Shan said, "Your Majesty's decision at that time was not good. Although Lin Yin had the talent for governing the country, she lacked the luck of governing the country. If Qin Chuan was handed over to her. She may be able to govern well, but she will never take the country to another level. Today's crown prince is different. Although his ability to govern the country is a little weak, his luck is on him. Cui Shan's words are not empty words. He is good at watching the luck. Nowadays, although the atmosphere of the whole Qinchuan mainland deviates, the purple and red atmosphere of Longyuan City is still very clear. Purple gas represents today's Qinchuan Emperor Lin Jinhe, and the red gas is the crown prince.
After listening to Cui Shan's words, Lin Jinhe was finally relieved. He had already learned Cui Shan's ability decades ago. Today's plan is to break through the three places quickly and crack the combination of counties!" Lin Jinhe's eyes flashed and restored the original king's posture. The previous decadence and lack of self-confidence were completely lost. "In two steps, you can start to do it now. First, let Mai He arrange people to help and contact the God-killing Pavilion, and do whatever it takes to kill the important members of eastern Shaanxi, Tiannan and Beiling. Second, let Tianyuan officials and soldiers ready to stand by. Third, third Divide into three groups of elite soldiers each with 100,000 troops and attack three places!"
Cui Shan took the order and, according to Lin Jinhe's temper, once he made a decision, he would be desperate.
"Your Majesty, I have a few more suggestions."
"Say it, what else can't we say?"
"First of all, we should be optimistic about the princes in the city now. Although they have left the fiefdom, they still have a lot of power in Tianyuan. If 300,000 troops go out, they will be afraid of civil strife."
"Secondly, we are optimistic about the merchants in the whole Qinchuan mainland. Once it becomes turbulent, I'm afraid that the economy will not recover for a while. The most important thing is to be afraid that those illegal underworld merchants will take this opportunity to gain wealth. Your Majesty also knows that now the underworld is almost controlled by the three counties, and a large amount of wealth is lost to them, which is very bad for us.
"Finally, it is necessary to do a good job in this expedition order, which can be regarded as a pressure on the three counties. Although the interior of these three counties is still solid, the pressure on them from other counties will inevitably give us a little advantage."
Lin Jinhe nodded, sighed and said, "Thanks for having you by my side, I'm afraid these things will be ignored. Those ministers only discuss some nonsense all day long, and they won't touch the key points at all. It's really annoying."
Cui Shan shook his head and said, "All counties have been bought out. How many of the ministers are clean?"
Lin Jinhe said no more, "Over the years, maybe I have really done something wrong. I really haven't done much in terms of the integrity of the management minister."
Lin Jinhe has always been unwilling to accept bribes from those elders, but indeed has no energy. He is a cold-blooded man and has killed many corrupt criminals, but the evil of human nature is often continuous. Over time, the sense of helplessness made him stop.
Cui Shan said, "Now the Minister of Control is useless. Arrange people and helpers to control the key people in important positions."
What Cui Shan said is a way to mend the sheep, but it is not an excellent time for the collapse of a country. If he had made a cruel plan a few years earlier, such a situation might not have happened.
Tired, Lin Jinhe walked into the inner hall.
