Chapter 562: The Great Era(1/2)
After Chen Sheng was promoted to the Human Emperor, he began a series of drastic actions. Chen Chen
The essence of "resident emperor", "resident emperor" lies in the word "residence".
What is resident?
Having a high position but a low salary is called stationing!
The essence of high-level positions and low-level positions is authority beyond the current position and absolute control over the current position.
This is like asking the governor of a state to name the county magistrate of a poor county...
If a serious county magistrate wants to secure his position as magistrate, he must win over the wealthy gentry, balance the magistrates, know how to use emotion, and how to manipulate them for profit. He must peel off the cocoon and slowly figure it out.
If a serious county magistrate wants to do something practical in his position, he has to discuss projects with the big players in the county, and he has to go to various powerful departments in the county to seek help.
But no matter how diligent and hard he works, it is difficult for the county magistrate to have absolute power in the county.
There will always be people who are stumbling, there will always be people who are holding back, there will always be people who are doing things that are contrary to their will...
However, even if you know who is stumbling, holding you back, or acting in disobedient ways, you may not be able to do anything to win over them.
Because the person standing behind the person may be a high-ranking official in the county, or he may be a high-ranking official in the state!
But if the governor of a state comes to name the county magistrate.
Does he still need to spend a lot of time and energy to tease out a thread from the interest network at the county and county levels?
He doesn't need it!
He only needs to take a look at the county's information and then he can aggressively find projects for the county, invest in resources, and build connections.
As long as he is willing, in a very short period of time, this poor county can overtake others and become the leading wealthy county in the state!
As for the gentry and county officials in the county, are they satisfied or comfortable...
Is it important?
What, you said that there are senior officials from the county, state, or even the central government standing behind them?
So what?
You can ask them to support you and see if they are willing to go to war with me for your meager interests!
this……
This is the situation Chen Sheng is currently facing!
The level difference is so big that no one among the civil and military officials below can disobey his will.
The interests up for grabs are too small, and it's not worth it for the three pure and six emperors above to come and fight him to the death.
As a result, for the first time, Chen Sheng truly dominated the great Han Dynasty!
He no longer has to be constrained by anyone, and he no longer has to worry about anyone's interests. He can boldly build this huge empire that he created with his own hands according to his own ideas!
Coincidentally, after fifteen years of accumulation, many objective conditions have matured and can support him to make some big moves...
on the one hand.
He implemented the imperial examination system, further improved the imperial court's system for selecting officials, and completely destroyed the possibility of restoring the hereditary system, the secular official system, and other old systems.
And the concept of "six years of secondary education" was introduced, which was integrated with the previous "six years of elementary education" and Jixia Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Han Dynasty, to further improve the education system of the Han Dynasty.
He has been preparing for this matter for nearly twenty years, and now that he has reached this point, it can be regarded as a matter of course.
When the stall was rolled out, he encountered a series of resistances that were within his control, and did not cause any shock in the court.
After finalizing the imperial examination system, he immediately summoned many generals from the four major military regions to Beijing and held a large-scale military meeting that lasted for more than a month.
At this military meeting, three major issues related to the development direction of the Han army were decided.
The first thing is to reduce the number of elite troops. The more than two million soldiers currently on duty in the four major military regions will be reduced to about one million in the next three years, freeing up more productive forces to invest in the great cause of building the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, we will speed up the flow of soldiers, retain more outstanding soldiers, and improve the overall combat effectiveness of the four major military regions.
The second thing: the reform of hot weapons. Within twenty years, the Han Dynasty will slowly transition from fighting with cold weapons as the main force and hot weapons as the supplement, to fighting with hot weapons as the main force and cold weapons as the supplement.
This does not mean that the Han army soldiers will give up martial arts in the future. In fact, after so many years of running in, most Han army soldiers have understood a truth: there is no conflict at all between martial arts strength and hot weapon combat!
It's like the same soldier, a soldier who can carry a thousand-pound cannon on his shoulder, march at a speed of a hundred miles an hour, and fire cannons while running, and a soldier who can hold a several-pound flintlock gun and roll his eyes even if he runs for four or five miles.
The old soldiers are obviously not comparable in any way!
The third thing: The Han Dynasty’s pace of external expansion will never stop.
However, it will no longer use the previous expansion method of large corps pushing horizontally, but will transform into an expansion method based on small groups of troops infiltrating, beheading, and defeating.
The conquered territory will no longer be directly incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Instead, it will be used as a garrison colony to consume the local indigenous population and transform the local living environment. When conditions are ripe, it will be incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Finally, the Han Dynasty will establish the first navy in the East China Sea to prepare for future overseas expansion... The first admiral: Li Xin!
By the time this long military meeting ended, it was already the end of the year.
Before the arrival of the New Year, grocery stores called "Supply and Marketing Cooperatives" opened quietly at almost the same time in all cities with a population of more than 10,000 in the seventeen states of the Han Dynasty.
The colorful candy wrappers attract countless children everywhere to watch.
Many years later, people realized that those small grocery stores were actually the beginning of a big era...
On the other hand, sincerity
Chen Sheng released the power of the Han Dynasty entrenched in Jinling and patrolled the seventeen states of the Han Dynasty on his behalf!
Before he was promoted to the Human Emperor, his control over the national destiny of the Han Dynasty was actually very reluctant.
It feels like a child swinging a big hammer with difficulty, not to mention slowness and clumsiness, and even if the hammer is barely swung out, it is difficult to take it back... If not for this, he would not have lived there for a long time since the Mauryan Dynasty returned to the Han Dynasty.
There is no way out of Jinling.
After being promoted to the Human Emperor, his control over the fate of the Han Dynasty went from a child wielding a hammer to a swordsman wielding a sword. He could not only cut through the sky with his sword, but also take down the enemy's head from a distance of three thousand miles.
!
Under his control, the vast power of national destiny, which was originally entrenched motionless in Jinling City like a famous mountain, turned into a storm and turned into a tide, roaring out of Jinling and spreading to the seventeen states of the Han Dynasty!
Wherever he passed, all the heretics were as hasty as bed bugs in the gutter, suddenly exposed to the bright light!
Those who escape slowly will die violently on the spot! Chen
Those who escaped quickly were tortured by the ubiquitous sense of danger all day long and almost went crazy!
At the same time, all abnormal energy outside of human nature were annihilated and eroded by the vast power of the Han Dynasty's national destiny!
There are fewer and fewer evil spirits born in the deep mountains and old forests.
There are fewer and fewer evil spirits born in mass graves.
To humanity, these miscellaneous gas machines left over from the era of Emperor Ji Zhou are like the weeds and pests growing wildly in the vegetable garden!
When the master, the big man, wiped out all these weeds and pests...humanity finally flourished!
...chen
Under Chen Sheng's drastic and two-pronged approach.
The big man's development speed is as if he pressed the fast forward button all at once!
Geniuses of all kinds are springing up in all walks of life like mushrooms after a rain.
What kind of fifteen-year-old martial arts genius shows off his true energy?
What a 12-year-old virtuous Confucian child.
How come there are over a hundred masters in cultivating one's mind in one state?
How can one state have dozens of strong masters?
Lu Shu succeeded in improving taro, and the yield per mu reached 2,000 kilograms, greatly alleviating the food problem.
With the advent of yellow powder and percussion guns, the broadswords and spears installed in the four military regions began to be phased out in batches.
Mathematics, chemistry and physics were officially regarded as three separate subjects and settled in Jixia Academy, the highest academic institution in the Han Dynasty.
The first imperial examination was held simultaneously in all prefectures of Kyushu, with more than 100,000 candidates taking part.
The model of the internal combustion engine appeared, and a black liquid called "shizhishui" appeared in the vision of many master craftsmen of Meihua Villa.
Together with the birth rate, it has been rising year after year like a competition. Almost everywhere, there are anecdotes about multiple births and old clams carrying pearls...
Although the lives of the people at the bottom are still very hard.
There are still many people who cannot eat a few dry meals throughout the month, let alone see meat or fish.
There are still many people, and the whole family cannot afford to wear unpatched clothes. If the children have too many clothes, they even have to take turns wearing them when going out...
But everyone is full of hope for the future and believes that life will get better and better.
But everyone is full of enthusiasm for the future and is working hard to move forward with the pace of the times.
People cleared wasteland for farming, and more and more barren mountains and wild lands were turned into cultivated land.
People dug canals to divert water, turning areas of barren land into fertile fields.
People dug mountains and built roads, and the wide and flat roads connected villages and cities like blood vessels.
To be continued...
