Three Kingdoms: I Have Unlimited Gifts

Time flies like an arrow, time flies like a shuttle.

Liu Zhao reformed Dahan's internal affairs and rested with the people. Up to now, it has been Dahan Tianyou for five years.

Liu Zhao's ascension to the throne and the extermination of the Xiongnu happened in the first year of the Ping Dynasty at the beginning of the Han Dynasty. It was changed to Yuanyou a year later, and more than six years have passed by now.

The big man of today has undergone earth-shaking changes from the big man of the past.

First, Liu Zhao carried out the reform of the official system.

In fact, the official system reform is a matter of distribution of power. In other words, the issue of power struggle between the emperor and his ministers.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the first person under the emperor was the prime minister, and the third prince under the prime minister, who then led Jiuqing, formed the shelf of the imperial court. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the emperor felt that his power was too small and the power of the prime minister was too great, and gradually weakened the power of the prime minister and strengthened the power of the three princes.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor felt that the power of the Sangong was too great, so he established a bureau of ministers to take charge of the country's military and political affairs.

If the three dukes have the title of "Recording Shangshu Shi", they are the real power bosses of the imperial court. If there is no such title, it is a mascot without real power.

In the future, the power of this Shangshutai will continue to expand, forming a system of three provinces and six ministries in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor felt that the three provinces and six ministries were not easy to manage, and established a cabinet.

In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor felt that the cabinet messengers were not going well, so he established a military aircraft office.

All in all, the emperor naturally had a tendency to expand the power in his hands and establish an institution that was independent of the imperial court system but could control the imperial court.

These institutions, each time the initial operation is very good, after a long time, there will be many drawbacks. There are both reasons for ministers to seize power, and reasons for the emperor's mischief.

Liu Zhao thought about it and thought that it was not good for the power to be too concentrated in the hands of the emperor.

I don't want to be a model worker emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongzheng, and I will be exhausted by the military affairs.

Of course, like the previous Eastern Han Dynasty, the status quo of unclear powers and responsibilities between Sangong Jiuqing and Shangshutai Liucao must also be changed.

In the end, Liu Zhao adopted the group system and the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty.

The current prime ministers are Liu Kuan, Yang Ci, Wang Yun, Zhang Jian, Xun Yu and Fang Xuanling.

All six people are a one-time choice, Liu Zhao only needs to catch the general manager, and leave the specific affairs to them.

Moreover, Liu Zhao stipulated that the chancellor had a term limit, one for four years. For two consecutive terms at most, he must leave Beijing and become a local official.

The six people check and balance each other, coupled with the limit of the prime minister's term of office, the emperor does not have to worry about losing power.

Liu Zhao can not only enjoy in the harem with peace of mind, but also can lead his troops on an expedition with confidence.

Militarily, Liu Zhao decreed that most of the troops and horses in various states and counties in the country would be abolished, leaving only the elite backbone to deal with emergencies.

In this way, it can not only develop production, but also reduce the burden of the people and cultivate their health.

Of course, it doesn't mean that these sergeants are abolished by the court and it doesn't matter.

The disabled are supported by the imperial court for the rest of their lives.

Those who are in good health are given a certain subsidy by the imperial court and a month of training every year. As a reserve, ready to respond to the call of the court at any time.

The biggest change is the people.

No tax on salt!

This decree was issued less than a month after Liu Zhao destroyed the Xiongnu.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the monopoly system of salt and iron, the court did collect a lot of salt tax. However, the consequence is that the price of salt is seventy or eighty times what it was before.

Needless to say, the bulk of this was taken away by noble families and tyrants.

People can't even afford salt, how can they talk about a happy life? Even their health is a problem.

Liu Zhao simply pulled his salary from the bottom of the pot, stopped collecting the salt tax, and abolished the monopoly system of salt and iron. ,

Because Liu Zhao mastered the white salt manufacturing technology, and the white salt sold well all over the country, his internal treasury income exceeded the salt tax collected by the court before.

The court did not suffer!

In the past six years, the agricultural development of the imperial court has grown by leaps and bounds.

First, Liu Zhao provided excellent potato and rice seeds.

Second, Liu Zhao discovered a talent named Ma Jun, who improved farming tools.

Ma Jun was a leading craftsman during the Three Kingdoms period. In historical records, he restored the compass cart; improved the cumbersome weaving machine at that time; invented a keel waterwheel that diverted water from low to high ground; it is said that he improved the Zhuge Lianbo.

On the plane of Liu Zhao, Ma Jun doesn't need to improve the Zhuge Lianbo, and he doesn't need him to restore the compass car, just invent the keel waterwheel.

In addition, under the guidance of Liu Zhao, Ma Jun invented the Quyuan Plough.

The plough in the Han Dynasty was a long straight plough. A straight plough needed two oxen to pull it. This is the legendary "two oxen lift the bar. When ploughing the land, turning back and turning is not flexible enough, the soil is laborious, and the efficiency is not very high."

And this curved plough, as long as a cow is enough. Moreover, the steering of the curved plough is more flexible, smaller in size and lighter in weight!

Farmland efficiency doubles directly!

Moreover, due to the surrender of Xianbei and Tiele, grassland livestock continued to be sold into the mainland, and the production efficiency of agriculture was greatly increased.

Under the combined effect of several aspects, is it worth it?

After six years, the peasants of the Han Dynasty not only had enough food and clothing, but also had a large surplus of food, so they began to breed chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, seeking supplements for meat.

The scholars also felt that these years were the happiest time.

Not only is the world at peace, but there are no eunuchs in chaos. Moreover, the imperial examinations were fair and reasonable. The price of paper is decreasing year by year, and they are all about 20% lower than the previous year, which greatly reduces their burden of reading and writing.

When the scholars and peasants had spare money, business naturally began to prosper.

Businessmen find it easy to make money no matter what they do. Moreover, because the court is now politically clear, there are many less extortionate taxes and miscellaneous taxes!

.0

Not to mention the workers of the workshop, the demand for the products of the workshop has greatly increased, and skilled workers are scarce, and their income will naturally rise.

What pleases the workers most is that their status has risen.

Workers are no longer a cheap job.

Don't you see that Ma Jun was made a marquis because of his achievements in the waterwheel and the curved plough?

With the development of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, the total tax revenue of the imperial court was directly doubled. When the court carried out various policies, it also had more confidence.

All in all, in the past six years, Liu Zhao’s reform of the military, government, and civilians has not been too big like Wang Mang’s troubles. The reform has been carried out very smoothly.

Soldiers, civilians, and scholars, all want to continue like this forever.

And the guarantee of this beautiful day is Liu Zhao, the emperor of the great man.

However, this great man and the emperor are very good, but they are just as bad. To this day, no children have been born.

The emperor has no heirs, how can we guarantee everyone's good life? The people of the big man are really anxious.

For a time, almost everyone's eyes turned to Wuji County, Zhongshan County.

Because there is a saying that began to spread, the emperor is the emperor, and every move must be in harmony with the will of heaven.

Perhaps, the future great man and emperor can only be bred by the woman who is "indescribably expensive in the future".

This woman is Zhen Mi of the Wuji Zhen Clan!

Finally, in the expectation of the whole world, the three sisters Zhen Mi, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Dao left Wuji County and went to Luoyang, the capital of the great Han!
