In an era of low productivity and lack of population, it is absolutely certain that having children is a credit to the country, and merit must be rewarded.
Ji Chang's general principle is very careful and clear. Thanks to the continuous expansion of the military, the country's territory has been increasing, but the country's population is too small.
The territory is large and the people are few, but anyone with a little brain knows what it means. The land laid does not have enough people to develop, which is equivalent to looking better only on the territory. Many times, the territory becomes a burden.
The prime minister personally affirmed the military's achievements to the king and his colleagues at the Grand Court meeting. Can it be regarded as that the civil service system considers itself under the military service system?
Then again, it seems that when the military generals of the Han state were lower than the civil servants, on the contrary, the civil servants were always inferior to the military officers because the Han state was in a state of war for a long time.
Civil servants showed signs of rising in the last period of time. They almost let the country enter the stage of cultivating students and recuperating. The counterattack of military generals was to plan the northern expedition.
At present, on the one hand, the Han state is at war with foreign countries, on the other hand, it is in the internal affairs of the country. The civil and military game can only be said to be half weight.
In fact, the internal affairs are not just the prime minister's residence... Or civil servants. After all, the army's sources of troops come from the people, and the required food, fodder and military equipment are also part of the internal affairs. After reaching their goals, the generals should not only make difficulties, but even cooperate to the greatest extent in some aspects.
The country has a large population and its productivity has also increased. It is only good for military generals, not bad. They are afraid that they will lose their place to use.
Glorify and illuminate the ancestors of the generals, and they will be very busy at ordinary times. They may even have a cunning rabbit to kill the dogs and cook the shit. It can be imagined that under various reasons, the most hope of the military general is that there will always be war.
"The prime minister's words are very kind!" Xu Zheng didn't leave his seat. He stood up with Yuhu in his hand: "I agree."
Ji Changgang did not praise the military less. He was afraid that the military would have more twists and turns on such a thing. He was slightly relieved to see Xu Zheng take the lead in agreeing.
The first of the two civil and military leaders should reach a consensus. According to reason, if the king does not object to the issue of giving birth to land, it is safe to pass.
Sang Yu stayed quietly in his seat, watching Xu Zheng's performance first, and then Ji Chang's more gorgeous speech performance. He has been relatively lonely recently. Apart from the work of the imperial envoy doctor, he has not interfered in any government affairs. Privately, he is integrating the aristocratic family according to Liu Yan's wishes. When he goes south to explore the southwest Peninsula, many families have been persuaded by him.
The imperial envoy doctor has the power to supervise all officials, which sounds very powerful, but in fact, in terms of the politics of Chinese civilization, all officials are not afraid of making mistakes, but are afraid of the king's investigation of mistakes. Therefore, the power of the imperial envoy doctor can only be said to be an accessory of the king's will.
Because Liu Yan is not a mean and ungrateful person, sang Yu, the imperial envoy doctor, is very boring. Usually, he supervises the etiquette of all officials at large and small court meetings. In addition, his subordinates pay attention to whether all officials are arrogant and domineering at ordinary times.
Of course, the imperial envoy's office supervises whether all officials are arrogant and domineering only in some things related to the people. It is also a kind of indulgent attitude for officials to waste or conflict.
All officials are supervised by the censor's office, while the nobility is supervised by the Tingwei office. Officials in the Han Dynasty do not necessarily have titles, but if they have titles, they must be officials. As a result, there are conflicts between the censor's office and the Tingwei office in many law enforcement powers. In view of this, sang Yu wants to ask Liu Yan for instructions, but there has been no good opportunity all the time.
At present, the power of law enforcement is not as clear as in modern times. It is basically defined according to the class. Usually, each department has both supervision power and law enforcement power. This is indeed easy to cause law enforcement conflicts, and there will be some dirty waste in law enforcement.
Liu Yan found the conflict of law enforcement power from the beginning. Of course, he was willing to plan. The problem is that he felt that there was no opportunity. It is not a small matter for a country to change the rules formulated by predecessors rashly. As a king, he should be cautious and cautious when changing the country.
No one raised any objection to the birth reward, but Liu Yan couldn't make a decision immediately. He should go through a process. For example, the subsequent supplementary provisions are a very important thing.
The issue was not opposed initially. The prime minister's office should further refine it in the future, such as how much land should be rewarded for boys and girls, where the land should be located, and what kind of reward gap exists if they are willing to move or unwilling to move.
"Duke Xu." After the court meeting, Wang Ji followed his colleagues out of the hall and trotted to catch up with Xu Zheng in front. He first respectfully saluted Xu Zheng, and then tried to ask, "can I have your advice?"
In public, Xu Zheng didn't know how many pairs of eyes were watching. Xu Zheng didn't know what Wang Ji wanted to say, so he hesitated and nodded.
"Tai Wei." Wang Ji changed his name and explained that he was going to talk about business: "fertility can be rewarded. The lower officials naturally agree that it is beneficial to the country and the people, but... The Tai Wei doesn't think that once fertility can also be rewarded with land, which conflicts with military merit...?"
Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at Wang Ji, hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled, but walked straight down the avenue, and had no desire to talk again.
Wang Ji watched Xu Zheng go away slowly in a daze. He didn't return to his mind for a long time. He is also a member of the military system. Naturally, he wants to safeguard the interests of the military. In his view, the reward of land for military merit is the greatest privilege and interest. Once a hole is torn this time, it is difficult to ensure that civil servants will not find a seemingly appropriate reason to do it again next time.
According to the truth, Xu is the first military attache of course. He has the responsibility and obligation to protect the interests of the military. After Wang Ji went to the court, he couldn't wait to talk. He wanted to be the first, but it seems that some things didn't follow the script?
"Qichen is in a hurry." Wang Luan looked at Wang Ji with a smile: "although we are officials in the Han Dynasty, we..."
Wang Luan and Wang Ji are not related by blood. The only thing they have in common is that in addition to their surnames, they have both been ministers of shile and Shihu.
The rule of the state of Zhao in Shijie collapsed in the Central Plains. Many officials who used to be officials in Shijie turned to the state of Han. Wang Luan and Wang Ji did something before and after the battle of Xuzhou.
Each of the people who transferred from Shijie to the state of Han has his own situation. Wang Luan and Wang Ji are relatively well mixed. More people are either local officials or can't even get an official position.
Wang Ji understood Wang Luan's unspoken meaning. Although they are all officials, they also work for kings, but there are still gaps, such as the difference between core important officials, ordinary ministers and excluded officials.
There are not many people who can be regarded as the core dignitaries of the Han state. The prime minister and the Taiwei must be listed among them. Officials such as Wang Luan and Wang Ji can only be regarded as ordinary ministers, or even slightly excluded because of their origin.
Wang Ji was very close to Sang Yu and once followed him as a follower. After sang Yu was warned by Liu Yan, although Wang Ji did not clearly draw a clear line with Sang Yu, Wang Ji no longer followed sang Yu's pace. Wang Ji planned to take Xu Zheng's route after a little dormancy.
"Qichen, the Great Han is different from Hu Lu Shijie." Wang Luan himself didn't know who to follow. After observing for a long time, he already knew what kind of country this was: "in the Han Dynasty, contacts are naturally indispensable, but merit is paramount."
Wang Ji wondered why Wang Luan said that. The two are old acquaintances, and the relationship can only be good or bad, not to the point of reaching out to each other.
Many officials accompanied the next Dynasty and had their own topics, mainly focusing on the birth reward system thrown out by the great dynasty.
Most officials just feel fresh about the fact that children can get land. They can't think of more. The main topic is whether it will cause any damage to the military after children can get land.
Generally speaking, the system belonging to the civil service is mostly happy and excited about the new policy of land reward for childbirth. Unlike military officials, civil servants can go to the battle to obtain military merit. The credit is reflected in the internal affairs, and one of the internal affairs assessment is the number of people under their rule.
Some smart civil servants associate more from the policies that have been preliminarily adopted. Land reward is the core. After people own land, there must be more output and tax revenue will increase. In addition to land, the increase of population will also produce many benefit effects. For example, the need for living materials will increase transactions, so the commercial tax will certainly increase.
In terms of various extension effects, civil servants are extremely sure that the new policy has only advantages and no disadvantages for them. Some people who can speak have begun to brewing, and some beneficial supplements should be added to the subsequent provisions of the new policy.
At the end of the meeting, sang Yu deliberately stayed behind. He found that Ji Chang had the same move and wanted to take the initiative to go there.
"The king is the king of development. The prime minister must be deeply loved by the king?" Sang Yu was still smiling all the time. After the warning, the smile had a faint taste: "the follow-up is the land of reward. Can you think of how to operate?"
Ji Chang found the obvious estrangement between sang Yu. He knew why it was like this. It was probably from the merger of the left and right prime ministers to the internal affairs originally managed by sang Yu?
"People can't leave their hometown, so they have to do so." Ji Chang didn't feel guilty about sang Yu. If he had any opinions, he wouldn't stick his hot face to his cold ass. he smiled and said, "before the Han Dynasty, only military skills could get land rewards, but not everyone could get military skills."
"In the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was a policy of equalizing land, and the prime minister did not mention it to the king?" After asking, sang Yu patted his forehead: "the king has read a lot and naturally knows what happened."
Ji Chang, of course, mentioned Juntian, both privately and above chaotang. Chaotang was immediately opposed by military officials. Liu Yan didn't respond privately. It can be seen that what predecessors have done doesn't mean that they will be implemented in accordance with the old practice.
"The policy of equalizing farmland destroys the military merit system, and the policy of giving birth rewards is the same." Sang Yu clearly showed his curiosity: "how did the prime minister's office persuade the Taiwei office?"
Ji Chang communicated with Xu Zheng. The problem is that Xu Zheng didn't promise anything. According to his wishes, after talking with Liu Yan, Liu Yan should find Xu Zheng behind him.
The founding monarch of any country basically has a high voice. Many founding monarchs can even be arbitrary, and no courtiers dare to disobey the will of the founding monarch.
Liu Yan is also the founder of the country. He even has many differences because of some special circumstances. It can be said that no one can stop him from deciding what to do. He just has quite a lot of self-knowledge. What he doesn't understand is just monitoring without direct interference, and he won't take anything of future generations as a matter of course.
Ji Chang didn't want to talk about that. Seeing that all the officials had left the hall, he saw that sang Yu was also going to ask Liu Yan and said, "is there anything against the authority of the prime minister's office when the imperial envoy doctor meets the king?"
Sang Yu thought it over carefully before answering, "No."
The relationship between the two became weaker. Even if they were really hostile, they could not clearly show hostility. Ji Chang's words were not ugly. It was that each department of the state had its own functions and powers. When discussing government affairs, especially when there were any suggestions, it was appropriate to meet with the King separately.
Liu Yan stayed in the back hall for a while after the Grand Court meeting, as usual, in order to wait for whether there were civil and military visitors.
In general, after the small court meeting, no one will ask for a meeting with the king, but after the big court meeting, there will be someone asking for a meeting, and the number of people asking for a meeting is not fixed. Even after the great court meeting, it is often necessary for the king to call some ministers for a small meeting.
"Say what you have here." Liu Yan doesn't think it will be calm today and doesn't intend to change places again. He asked Ji Chang and sang Yu to sit down respectively, looked at them, and said a very nutritious opening remark: "what's your comment?"
The back hall is very empty, and the furnishings are not fixed. At this moment, a table is placed in the center of the hall. There are palace maids cooking tea for waiting, and the monarchs and ministers sit and talk.
Ji Chang took a sip of tea, put down the tea lamp and said, "I have a lot to say."
At this time, it is up to Sang Yu to judge the time occupied. This is a technical job. We should have a strong sense of time, have enough judgment on the topics to be discussed, and even guess the king's attitude.
"What the minister says is a matter of the law." Sang Yu still decided to come first by himself: "the Great Han Dynasty has the imperial historian's office and the Tingwei office, both of which have the power of supervision and law enforcement, and most of the objects of supervision and law enforcement overlap..."
Liu Yan's original posture was still a little relaxed. When he heard sang Yu's topic, he immediately took it seriously. He knows the importance of the law more than anyone, so the Department responsible for the implementation is more important. There can be no carelessness at all.
