Chapter 720

Naturally, the "Lishan talks" did not talk about anything practical, but ended in an unhappy break-up.

Liu Yan learned about the records and general situation of the ministers' conversation in Lishan. He had long speculated about Jichang's sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. It was an accident that sang Yu and LV Yi tore their faces. What's more, Xu Zheng was too slow and ran min jumped out on behalf of the martial arts to stir up the situation.

"Who is giving Yongzeng advice?"

"Back to the king, it is Miao song, the Marquis of meiyang."

"Miao song?"

Miao song is one of Ran min's family ministers, one of the important groups that ran min is still begging for a living army, and a trusted think tank for ran min.

If the history had not been changed by Liu Yan, after ran min set up the ran Wei Dynasty, Miao song was appointed by ran min as an attendant.

It didn't matter what the official position was originally. After the Western Han Dynasty, he became a close Minister of the emperor. How close is it? You can go in and out of the palace city freely by virtue of your status as a servant. If the emperor trusts you enough, you can also go in and out of the harem freely.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were usually three attendants, who often made some "vegetation" for the emperor, but they raised a large green grassland. However, they generally did not dare to do anything about the imperial harem beauties with titles. At most, they did something they loved to do with palace maids and female officials.

Han Yan is the most courageous waiter. He and Liu Che often "play games" with palace maids. It is estimated that there are too many such things, and they play with the title of Jiali. According to historical records, Liu Che was not angry with Han Yan's behavior. Empress dowager Dou was so angry that she must kill Han Yan. Liu Che pleaded with Han Yan, but Han Yan was finally killed by Empress Dowager Dou.

Then again, the old Liu family didn't think it was anything to spoil the ministers, sleeping women, officials and palace maids. This habit began with Liu Bang, but Liu Bang was not the only one who seemed very open. It was the atmosphere at that time that was very, very open. For example, Chu has long had the habit of having sex on the spot during emotional movement, and things such as wild 1 combination are really common to disgrace.

When LV pheasant's sister LV Guai fell in love with Zhou Bo, she could also play love with fan Guai in the thatched house. When Zhou Bo met her personally, LV Guai didn't feel embarrassed. She felt that her feelings were with Zhou Bo and that she would play love with fan Guai for a while. The problem was that Zhou Bo seriously couldn't accept breaking up, As a result, LV Guai married fan Guai.

Before unmarried men and women get married, there is a love that they say and do when they are moved. Not only the man takes it for granted, but also the woman doesn't feel any moral burden. This kind of atmosphere was extremely normal in the ancient pre Qin period, and there was nothing wrong in the early Han Dynasty. It was after the Song Dynasty that Zhu Cheng's Neo Confucianism rose in an all-round way.

"The question is... Did Miao song guess the content of the Xiaochao meeting long ago?"

"I'll check it right away."

Having family officials is a habit in ancient times and pre Qin times, not only in the Central Plains, but also all over the world. This habit was maintained until the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the Central Plains, that is, Xia, Shang, Zhou, spring and autumn, Warring States, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Western Jin, Eastern Jin, Wu Hu Luanhua (Northern and Southern Dynasties), Sui and Tang.

Of course, not everyone can have family ministers. It is only qualified to establish the shogunate. For those who are not qualified to establish the shogunate, they use the name of "door guest". However, family officials and door guests are two different things. Family officials and home owners are really prosperous and lose. Door guests and home owners are more of a kind of interest.

Liu Yan will not underestimate anyone who can leave a name in history books, even if history has proved that Miao song's wisdom is not enough for ran Wei to exist. On the contrary, he was destroyed by Qianyan (Murong Yan state) within a few years.

If you have wisdom and ability, of course, it should be included in the national system, not for personal effectiveness... The above is a traditional saying. More clearly, the ruler does not allow any threatening person to be out of control.

"JINGLUE." Liu Yan waited for Cui Zong to leave before he looked at Wang Meng who had been watching his nose and heart: "can the governor order Jiankang get anything?"

In eight years, Liu Yan had three personal secretaries, lang. Wang Meng was the first, Xun Xian was the second, and Cui Zong was the third.

The so-called personal secretary Lang was actually the role of a waiter in the Western Han Dynasty, but there was a change in the name.

Being able to become the king's personal secretary Lang itself means being trusted by the king to some extent. Although the position is small, no one dares to offend the king's personal secretary because he is trusted by the king.

Wang Meng can definitely be regarded as one of the people who are "simple in the heart of the emperor". No one can deny his great future. After he was delegated by Liu Yan, he first went to Jizhou as the head of a county, then transferred to Sizhou, and finally became Jiankang order.

Jiankang is the main external window of the Han Dynasty and the city with the largest number of urban residents in the Han Dynasty (none). Although Jiankang order is still at the county magistrate level, it belongs to the county magistrate directly under the central government, and its political status is not inferior to that of the Sheriff of a county.

"When I return to the king, I dare not relax day and night. I'm afraid I will lose the king's love." Wang Meng was flattering and expressing his determination. He said, "minister Jiankang, got a lot."

Managing a city with a population of more than one million is not a simple thing. In particular, the city is the former capital of the defeated party. The personnel structure in it is extremely complex. Many of them belong to the remnants of the previous dynasty and may cause trouble at any time. In addition, the residents will not be close to the new dynasty naturally.

Jiankang was handed over to Wang Meng after nearly two years of military control. The number of Jiankang residents in Wang Meng's hands has decreased from more than two million to more than one million and the administrative level has changed from the imperial capital to a central "municipality directly under the central government". It's strange to say that Jiankang residents can be happy.

What is the most important thing to manage a place? First of all, people have to be willing to listen to the government! Before, military control was a high-pressure supervision and management mode. Those who showed hostility to the Han state were basically either killed or moved out of Jiankang city. Jiankang taken over by Wang Meng was a city where most people were scared to become rabbits, which reduced the difficulty of his management of Jiankang.

After Wang Meng took office, the first thing he did was to find a group of people to make an example of others. Those people must also have the way to take death. He cleaned up people first, and then used relatively mild policies, such as government funding to repair cities and engage in some public facilities, so as to win the hearts of the people.

It should be said that the strategy of taking a meal first and then giving sweet dates is applicable to any enemy in any era. The kindness after high pressure is also easier to force people to yield. It is far more suitable as a management means than continuous cruelty or kindness without any reason.

Wang Meng's greatest success is to make healthy residents re recognize the importance of being a Han. That is the face-to-face impression brought by tens of thousands of slaves as a typical example. With this profound comparison, who would think it's bad to be a Han?

"In response to the king's call, Yu Jiankang strongly encouraged manual workshops..." Wang Meng said a lot, mainly introducing the scale of workshops and what they produce. Later, he summarized: "people will feel at ease when they have income."

In a city with a population of more than one million, it is basically impossible for everyone to be farmers or businessmen. In fact, in any city with a population of more than one million, all its needs will be purchased from the outside, whether agricultural products or industrial raw materials, so some workshops will be very important, which also means that the handicraft industry in the city will be one of the dependencies for the survival of residents.

Of course, Liu Yan would encourage people to build workshops, which is one of the inevitable reasons brought about by the land policy of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, he is really not optimistic about the small-scale peasant economy, that is, a self-sufficient social system. He believes that that will only make the society rigid and will not make the nation too curious about the outside world.

"Small-scale peasant economy" is not the same in modern and ancient times either literally or in meaning. In ancient times, it was advocated that "small-scale peasant economy" should be self-sufficient in everything and should not be obtained from "outsiders". As a result, capable groups especially like to build huge manors, and their own small kingdom appeared.

Where is the room for progress in a society without communication? That is, without the premise of exchanging needed goods, the manor can basically not generate more taxes for the country except paying a fixed tax amount. The most harmful thing is that the immobilization of group thinking usually produces countless ambitious people. When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, they do not make much contribution to the country. Once they are caught, they will be "pioneers of the king" who roar that "princes will be kind".

The thinking of "small peasant economy" of Zhuxia civilization has always been the mainstream. Inconvenient transportation is one of the reasons. In addition, the authorities reject the flow of people. They like people everywhere to be born in Sri Lanka, grow up in Sri Lanka and die in Sri Lanka. Anyway, it's just to stay calm.

Liu Yan needs people to move, too many sparsely populated areas need to be filled by the population, and the Han state with strict land control does not give some groups room to build a small private kingdom.

"When a great man contacts with a foreign country, the first person from a foreign country is Jiankang." Wang Meng said that there was a kind of excitement that was hard to hide: "there were not many foreigners last year, but they have increased greatly this year, with the largest number of Persians and Romans."

Wang Meng's excitement was nothing but that crooked nuts did nothing else after they came to Jiankang. They just bought for a while, which not only contributed a lot of taxes, but also stimulated more people to buy workshops and absorbed more people as workers.

The number of idle people in society has always been planned into the political achievements of an official. If there are more idle people, social security will be very poor. Many vicious cases are made by those who have nothing to do.

Liu Yan has read the relevant official documents. Indeed, many crooked nuts came to the Han country by sea. They paid the toll in Malacca. When they came to the Han country, they were limited to Jiankang activities and were not allowed to wander around without permission.

"I have records that before I came to Chang'an, there were 2410 foreigners staying in Jiankang." Wang Meng had the above sentence only when he was asked. He answered Liu Yan's last question: "foreigners can't buy land. They rent houses and land from the government or the people. There are 172 shops in the government office and more than 3000 mu of warehouses."

Of course, the warehouse is calculated in Mu. After all, each room is large and small. At present, there is no skyscraper summer.

As the number of people coming from abroad has been increasing, Wang Meng plans to delimit an area for crooked nuts as a residential area. Considering that the number of ships from foreign countries has been increasing, he also plans to ask Liu Yan for permission to build a special port for foreign ships to dock at Jingkou.

"I won." Liu Yan has no reason to object. It is really more conducive to management. He asked, "are there foreigners making trouble?"

What's more amazing is that Wang Meng's answer is not that Wai Guoren dares to make trouble. On the contrary, Wai Guoren is very clever. If something happens, it's also that Wai Guoren doesn't understand some social customs of the Han country and has some disputes with the Han people,

Liu Yan thought it should be like that. It's not clear that the Han army killed crooked nuts in the direction of the grassland, but the Han army killed in the Indochina Peninsula and even in front of assamen, which has fully demonstrated the strength of the Han country. A strong country naturally wants people to think more when they want to do something. Only the rules of small countries are not rules.

"The land is Han soil, which is naturally subject to the Han law." Wang Meng talked about some cases in the event of disputes. Later, he said bluntly: "the people of other countries are not the people of the Han Dynasty. The Han people are protected by the Han law, and the people of other countries are not protected."

To put it simply, there is no dispute. Once a Han Chinese is involved in a dispute, it is definitely crooked nuts.

Liu Yanxi first said, "it should be so."

As for what kind of friends are surprised, it's not just that Liu Yan doesn't care. He has fully realized what country he is in. His army can teach any country how to respect the Han people at any time. No small people will care about any kind of friends, especially when he is on his side. Even if it's unreasonable, you should first ask if the army can fight in the past? If you can, it's not the key to be reasonable. The key is whether you can play well.

Such "truth" and thinking did not first appear in the Han state established by Liu Yan. It was the "truth" after Liu Che repeatedly defeated the Huns. In the world, only the Han people can fight and can't fight.

Liu Yan asked, "JINGLUE already knows Persia and Rome. Are you interested in going there?"

Wang Meng said without hesitation: "the king has sent, and the minister's liver and brain are painted to work."

"I don't just hope that JINGLUE is my Bo Wang Hou. It's no harm to go to a foreign country to increase my horizons." Liu Yan's Bo Wang Hou is Zhang Qian. His expectation for Wang Meng is that Wang Meng has proved his ability "as early as" in history, that is, the stage given to Wang Meng by the state of Han will be larger: "JINGLUE is still the order of Jiankang. I will appoint JINGLUE as Shaoqing."

Han inherited the Qin system and Liu Yan established the Han state. Many systems have changed, but a considerable number of official titles and responsibilities continue. What he said about Shaoqing is an official position in the Qin Empire. It originally belonged to a part of the bureaucratic system of "Qing", and the latter responsibilities have changed again and again.

Wang Meng breathed and became a lot heavier. He led a county magistrate with a million people and served as Shaoqing. He was the first special case of the Han state.
