Five hundred and ninetieth chapters loyal ministers(1/2)
Liu She spent three days and finally wrote out his plan for reforming the East and West Weaving Room.【
Then, he took some time and ran to Weiyang Palace happily.
"Your Majesty, with this, I thought that the east and west weaving rooms would have a completely new look!" Liu She said with a smile after handing over his reform plan with a proud face.
Liu Che briefly read Liu She's report and put it aside.
To be honest, Liu Che is most worried about something like today happening.
After taking office, the ministers couldn't wait to overthrow the previous bad government, racking their brains and making big news.
Are reforms necessary?
Of course it is necessary!
But as soon as you slap your butt, you must reform.
That's still fun!
Liu She's report is like this.
He proposed that it was too inconvenient for the east and west weaving rooms to be divided into two institutions. The two institutions should be integrated together, so that resources could be fully mobilized and the huge weaving room could be managed well.
Very good idea.
But it is seriously out of touch with reality!
The separation of the east and west weaving houses was determined at the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
The reason is very simple. The existence of the two-gong system made it necessary to set up the East and West Weaving Rooms to correspond to Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace respectively.
This can be known from the fact that the Western Weaving Room has been located in the North Palace near Weiyang Palace for a long time, while the Eastern Weaving Room has been located in the West Palace near Changle Palace.
Now, Liu She wants to merge these two departments, whether it is the East Zhishi Room merging with the West Zhishi Room or the West Zhishi Room merges with the East Zhishi Room, Liu Che can bet that as long as he nods, the East Palace will definitely be unhappy.
The older Empress Dowager Dou gets, the smaller her mind becomes.
Liu Che might not be in any trouble, but Liu She would have to bow down and go home to farm.
Less than a month after taking office, the new Shaofu was driven home to farm. The imperial court was about to lose its face to the Kingdom of Java.
The more important thing is: the status of the East and West Weaving Room in the future will be no less than that of the Yantie Yamen.
With the expansion of cotton planting area.
Cotton will inevitably gradually take over linen and become the most reliable and common cloth.
This means that in the future, the East-West Weaving Room will become a money-printing institution similar to the Federal Reserve, and their scale will inevitably continue to expand. In the future, it is very likely that they will become a behemoth with two to one hundred thousand employees, surpassing the examination room.
.
For Liu Che, two large-scale industrial entities are better than one.
However, these words cannot be said to Liu She, and there is no need to tell him.
For Liu Che, when he put Liu She in the position, he actually wanted to prepare for the future dismemberment of the Shaofu.
Just like how piglets dismembered foreign dynasties in history.
If you want to destroy a system, the first thing to do is to turn the brain of the system into a sculpture.
Therefore, after Liu Che thought about it for a while, he looked at Liu She and said, "I have read Taohou's opinion, and it is very good!"
Liu She's face immediately lit up with joy. He thought to himself: I have indeed not wasted my efforts. At the same time, his heart was filled with joy that his own ideas were in line with the emperor's.
For the Taohou family, the foundation of their survival and wealth came from the trust and favor of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
To maintain such favor, each generation of Taohou must use all their strength to think about how to synchronize with the emperor's ideas.
When the late emperor was here, it took Liu She ten years, starting from the time when the late emperor was still the prince, and he flattered and fawned over him to figure out the late emperor's thoughts.
Unfortunately, the late emperor died young, and the way of thinking and brain circuitry of the new emperor who came to the throne were different from those of the late emperor.
This made Liu She's hair turn gray due to worry.
"It's just..." Liu Che looked at Liu She with a smile. Liu She's chess piece was actually very useful. The memory of his previous life told Liu Che that this Taohou who once served as prime minister in history was a typical three-no character.
No wisdom, no talent, no team.
This guy has been prime minister for five years and has done one thing, which is to work with Wei Wan to determine the only legal use of flogging: only spanking!
This matter was actually done well.
Because before Liu She's reforms, flogging was not just as simple as spanking.
The so-called whipping and punishment are clearly written in the Han Code. This punishment is to make the prisoner understand that committing a crime is a shameful thing, and to create shame and fear of the law in his heart, so that he will not dare to break the law from now on.
So, now, when the government imposes punishments on the people, it is basically like this: spanks if you have a conscience, and slap on the back if you have no conscience.
The whole back of the prisoner was beaten with blood and flesh, and he even said proudly: This will make him realize his shame!
However, many prisoners did not wait until they realized that their behavior was shameful and felt ashamed, and then died because of the infection... And many more people became disabled due to one or other reasons.
This is definitely unacceptable for a feudal dynasty.
Therefore, the reform promoted by Liu She achieved miraculous results.
It was implemented in the world in a short period of time, and Wei Wan, who promoted this reform with him, was able to succeed as prime minister after Liu She resigned.
Even when Liu She died of illness, this matter gave him extra points.
The imperial court gave him the title of Tao Yihou, which is a very high-level posthumous title.
In the Han Dynasty, Yi and Mei were synonymous.
The posthumous title says: The most gentle and kind person is called Yi.
The Book of Songs praises: Goodness is a virtue.
Well, when the coffin was finalized, Liu She was considered a gentle, kind and good man.
Liu Che cannot deny this good guy card.
Because Liu She may have shortcomings of one kind or another, or may have various problems.
But he was indeed, without a doubt, a great loyal minister, the best scoundrel, and his loyalty to the emperor was almost unlimited.
In his previous life, he would do whatever the emperor asked him to do.
In the end, he took the blame for the emperor's father, lost the position of prime minister, and resigned on his own initiative.
Such a minister is really rare.
Therefore, Liu Che's attitude towards Liu She seems normal.
Loyal ministers will naturally receive preferential treatment!
Liu Che looked at Liu She and said: "It's just that I have been thinking about something recently. Taohou happened to come and gave me some advice: Should these three ministers and nine ministers, the pillars of the country, be set for a term? That's fine.
Can we allow our loyal ministers to have a happy death, and also prevent the monarch and his ministers from being suspicious?"
"Huh?" Liu She glanced at the emperor nervously and lowered his head.
As the most loyal henchmen of the old Liu family, the Taohou family has always been famous for their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances and change their faces quickly.
In other aspects, Liu She may not have much talent, but in terms of knowing the emperor's thoughts and quickly kneeling down to lick him, Liu She dares to say that he is second, and no one dares to say that he is first.
Therefore, he quickly understood what the emperor meant.
The emperor wanted to achieve his purpose of controlling the government by limiting the term of office of the three ministers and nine ministers.
In response, Liu She raised all his limbs to show his support.
the reason is simple.
Prime Minister Zhou Yafu is too young!
Not even sixty years old this year!
Judging from Zhang Cang's experience, he can be prime minister for at least thirty years. Even if he takes ten thousand steps back, based on the lifespan of Zhou Yafu's father, Zhou Bo, he can still be active in politics for at least fifteen years!
At that time, Zhang Cang served as prime minister for fifteen years.
He kept alive all the other people who were qualified to compete for the position of prime minister.
In the end, Emperor Taizong couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he had no choice but to select a general from the shortest and push Shentujia up. Before appointing Shentujia, Shentujia was only a Guannei Marquis, not a lieutenant...
If Zhou Yafu stayed in the position of prime minister for fifteen years...
The consequences are too terrible!
Anyway, Liu She felt that he might not survive Zhou Yafu.
And who doesn’t want to be the prime minister?
What's more, Liu She was once only one step away from the prime minister.
The prime minister's temptation made Liu She quickly throw the stuff and weaving room aside.
The Taohou family prefers power to making money.
Moreover, if you want to be the prime minister, let alone other aspects, your character must be upheld.
Public opinion and perception are still very important!
To be continued...
