Regarding the powerful class, Zhang Yan should be the most tolerant among the founders of the past dynasties.
Not to mention Han Guangwu, there was nothing he could do.
To disturb the powerful in the early days was to disturb his own foundation.
Later, when he wanted to move again, not only had he become a strong man, but he was also old and in the twilight years of a martyr, so he just opened and closed his eyes.
Zhang Yan is different. If he wants to touch these so-called powerful people, it is just a very simple matter.
Moreover, there are no tycoons in the country who are worthy of a big fight. Those small local tyrants in the countryside only need a team of guards or even a few Wuhou, and the police can deal with them.
However, since the establishment of Zhang Zhou, Zhang Yan has only done some things to restrict Wubao and release the people in Henan and Hebei, but has not touched the foundation of the powerful.
The reason is very simple. Zhang Yan, who came from later generations, looked at the problem from a different point of view than the kings at this time and before.
The kings at this time and before did not know the development of future generations or where the danger came from, but Zhang Yan knew it.
In his heart, he never believed that the Zhangzhou Dynasty could last forever, nor did he believe that it was his historical responsibility to create a dynasty.
It's just that at that time, Zhang Yan was busy swallowing up the Yinxia states and marching into Guanzhong. In addition, the Birds and Rats Tongxue Mountain was very large, so it was difficult for ordinary campaigns to be effective. Lu Sanlang also captured thousands of people and went down the mountain during the two campaigns.
There weren't many people still on the mountain, so I didn't take it seriously.
With the blessing of such a developed economy and education in later generations, the proportion of graduate students in the population is not high, and it goes without saying in this era.
At least for the foreseeable few hundred years, the sea will not become a dangerous place that destroys China's traditional oriental order.
Li Zun knew that there was no other way now but to win the saint's sympathy by begging.
In other words, if something major happens in Khotan that requires the central government to mobilize troops, it will take forty days for the news to be reported to the central government day and night. Ten days is not too slow for the central government to make a decision. After that, it will take another forty days to send an angel to Khotan.
.
"Saint, I and Shatuo'er have joined the great dynasty for hundreds of years. We have made mistakes but also shed blood.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yan's words stimulated Li Zun so much that he suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhang Yan in pain and asked.
The big reason for this is that Kong Yingda was involved in the struggle between Li Erfeng and the wealthy family, and his interpretation of the Five Classics was often biased.
After rewarding Dou Yi, Zhang Yan looked at Li Zun who was still prostrate on the ground and sighed.
He is indeed a saint born five hundred years ago!
"Who are you, Li Chunzhong?" Zhang Hao asked directly.
By the time they had established a foothold, the young tycoons of the Central Plains had grown up, and so had the children of these chieftain families.
Only when these two things are spread across the country can the central government be fully aware of what is happening in the local areas. That is the era when a comprehensive system of counties and counties can be implemented.
Sun Guangxian and others were ordered to organize and identify it, but they have only completed less than half of it now, which shows how rich the collection of books is.
There is a reason why this family can produce such brave heroes as Li Zun and Fan Changgong, and they are Han Chinese, but they are not very famous in Longyou, Hexi.
"Our hometown, after all, still lacks some culture. There are many brave and outstanding people, but none of them are erudite and Confucian."
This is the era when Buddhism and Chinese culture are completely integrated, this is the era when Confucianism is revived again, this is the era of millennium social changes, and it is also the beginning of the decline of classical China.
It's been ninety days since I came back. During these three months, anything can happen. Small things can become big, and big things can start a prairie fire.
"It must be your idea to go down the mountain this time, right? Learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. If you can't use your skills, it must be very uncomfortable."
Unexpectedly, the Li Zun family is quite resilient. After suffering continuous blows, the core members still survived.
It seems like a future generation of sheepherders will be admitted to Peking University.
What they think most about is that the central government recognizes their control over the local area so that they can dominate the local area.
Li Zunbai fell on the ground, but saw the emperor's eyes unreadable, and he felt cold in his heart. Could it be that the emperor was afraid of a wealthy man from a small county like his family?
From this, Li Zun thought even more, would the emperor regard their family as the chicken that was killed to show the monkeys?
Moreover, from the perspective of Zhang Yan, who was preparing for the Xia Jun Yimin, what kind of family could he drive out the Xia Jun Yimin and still get things done at the same time? Isn't it this group of people?
You dare to collude with all parties in the state capital where I have installed pro-troops and imperial troops, and ignore the government prohibitions. What do you want to do?"
"Are you Sha Tuo'er?"
Otherwise, it would be like today, from Khotan to Luoyang, it is a full eight thousand miles.
Li Chunzhong was the younger brother of Li Chunxiao, the patriarch of the Li family in Shatuo, Lanzhou. Li Chunxiao was killed and his head was presented to the court, but Li Chunzhong was never found.
In recent years, there have been big families with dozens of pro-army and imperial army generals in their families, but in the end they were all easily separated by Zhang Zhang.
As for the biggest sequela caused by this incident, it was the Zhang Zhou court's weak control over the border areas and the series of problems it caused.
Li Zun raised his head a little, his eyes flashing with light, "This is where our family's inheritance lies. Even though I'm in the wilderness, I can't forget to study."
"People say that Dou Yanshan is a kind gentleman and a good teacher. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
While working hard to prolong Zhang Zhou Guozuo's life as long as possible, Zhang Yan also had another goal, which was to reverse the conservatism and the culture of being noble but weak in military affairs that was about to come in history.
Hearing Zhang Yan ask him if he had read books, Li Zun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I lived in Longxi and served as minister for several years."
Li Zun's heart was pounding. He had already realized that Zhang Yan must know the ins and outs of their family, so he buried his head again and answered in a more docile manner: "Everyone is wise.
Zhuzhao, it’s true.”
Then we must not let all kinds of barbarians from all over the world tear them up and eat them. Those are not the barbarians of Xia Jun. They are allowed to die.
The imperial court will work with them to provide money and food and continue south. In one or two hundred years, they will defeat all the indigenous powerful people in the Indochina Peninsula and establish dozens or hundreds of Zhou chieftain states. Isn't this accomplished?
They are a threat to state centralization, but they are also a guarantee for the country's full mobilization.
Taking a step back, even if there will be feudalism and semi-feudalism everywhere in the future because of Zhang Yan, many rebels will be created. Some people may even be able to unite these forces and push them into the Central Plains to destroy the Zhangzhou Dynasty.
After a long while, Dou Yi replied to Zhang Yan and said: "This talent is quite good, but it is only for Longyou. Although it is not innumerable in China, it is certainly not a great talent."
This is also the biggest reason why he named his country Zhou.
But at that time, Zhang Zhang's Hexi Longyou group continued to prosper, and the population controlled by the Li family kept coming down to work for Zhang Zhang.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He, who was originally confident that he would win a high official position from the emperor, suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Zhang Gao also heard that there were people on the Bird and Rat Tongxue Mountain who were dissatisfied with Wang Hua, and sent Lu Sanlang to attack and suppress them several times.
This is indeed a talent. He is brave enough to chase wild bears and study literature in the wilderness, but he can be appreciated by knowledgeable people.
Because among the officials who followed Zhang Yan, as long as they were not stupid, they would have noticed that Zhang Yan looked very dissatisfied with Li Zun.
Because this is Zhang's private land, there can only be one powerful person in Longyou, Hexi, and that is the Zhang Zhou royal family.
Qionglin Academy is the royal library established by Zhang Yan, which contains a large number of rare books from various places, especially the Gao family of Nanping.
They were afraid of being conquered by Zhang Gao, so the whole family hid in Birds and Rats Tongcao Mountain. Later, they were even more afraid of being reported, and they were even more afraid to come down the mountain to seek refuge.
In the next few years, Zhang Gao used the excuse of wiping out the remnants of the Li family in Shatuo, Lanzhou, to aggressively conquer the disobedient forces in Lanzhou, Yuan, Hui, He, Wei and other prefectures and counties.
"It's not easy for you to study hard on the Birds and Mouse Cave Mountain, isn't it?" Zhang Hao asked softly.
In Zhang's view, the county system and a high degree of centralization require at least two things, telegraphs and trains.
According to common sense, Dou Yi should severely criticize Li Zun and say that he was worthless. As a result, Dou Yi not only told the truth, but also believed that Li Zun was enlightened and was willing to invite him to his home to read books.
If they don’t go, will the hard-working people in their hometown go?
"By decree, Dou Yujun has taught his son well, and he will be rewarded with three jars of Khotan purple wine and a fat sheep, and he will be allowed to enter Qionglin Academy to read books." Zhang Yan said to the chamberlain behind him.
And unlike the imagination of later generations that powerful people must want to rebel, most powerful people do not want to rebel.
Zhang Yan said this because what Dou Yi said to Li Zun was dangerous.
If given time and cultivated well, he will become a great talent!
Kong Taichang was Kong Yingda, a great scholar of the Tang Dynasty. As soon as he wrote Shangshu Zhengyi, he was criticized by many Confucian classics masters. The Five Classics Zhengyi, which included Shangshu Zhengyi, was almost all criticized at the time.
When cutting becomes a habit, and the benefits to Xiajun and Yi people begin to increase, this trend should be established.
Only by once again setting off the frenzy of the Xia monarchs and barbarians like King Wu of Zhou did we can save him!
Therefore, Zhang Yan was not a fanatical supporter of the county system. He had seen the difficulties he encountered after the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty were enthusiastic about the county system.
Dou Yi saw that Zhang Hao was thinking so thoughtfully, and looked at Zhang Shengren with red eyes, and just kowtowed to thank him for his kindness.
Zhang Gao was like a lion that had been intruded into his territory. He didn't care if he was powerful or not, but he couldn't do it in Longyou, Hexi Province.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Hao was in a good mood, stroking his hands and laughing.
Seeing that Dou Yi, who had always been cautious, was losing his composure, Zhang Yan smiled and said to Zhang Liecheng: "It seems that Dou Yanshan has been coveting my collection of books for a long time! Even Dou Kexiang became anxious.
The emperor's method of benevolence in front of him has reached the point where no trace can be found even if the antelope hangs its horns. A few words and a few arrangements can accurately hit the deepest desire in the heart of the recipient.
Therefore, it has almost become a consensus that at this time, the governance of Shangshu cannot only focus on Kong Yingda's justice as Shangshu.
As long as there are benefits, these powerful cutters, big and small, will probably rush out when the time comes.
But when the country went down, a thorough system of counties and counties and a high degree of centralization brought about a huge Huanghuang Empire. Once the center was lost, it was like a cat or dog being strangled by the neck.
Although he was happy to see the growth of the rich man, Li Zun in front of him still had to be beaten hard because their family was very courageous.
Nowadays, when we speak Tang pronunciation, wear Han clothes, practice Han rituals, and study Han classics, can’t we still be considered Han people?”
Zhang Gao immediately summoned Hanlin bachelor and Secretary Lang Douyi to come and take an exam.
Li Zun was silent for a long time, hesitating again and again before saying truthfully: "Li Chunzhong is my father!"
Twelve years ago, the Li family in Shatuo, Lanzhou resisted Zhang Gao's entry into Lanzhou, and were subsequently attacked and destroyed by Zhang Gao's sent Ma Zhaoyuan and Murong Nobunaga.
Li Zun's face was filled with joy and he said loudly: "There are more than 130 strong men in my family, all of whom are capable of riding and shooting. They can be sent by the saint anywhere in the world."
To govern a minister means that one has left the stage of studying the minister and has turned to studying. In later generations, he will at least be a graduate student in a certain direction.
Therefore, Zhang Yan, who had had these thoughts for a long time, did not look at the emerging rich people with a vigilant eye, but looked at them like leeks.
Dou Yi was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked Zhang Yan repeatedly. His Dou family was also famous for its rich collection of books, but it was definitely not as fast and rich as Zhang Yan who could use the army to cause "robbery".
When the time comes, one will be established in every county in Dali, and people with titles like Xuan Comfort Envoy and Inspection Envoy will be appointed as chieftains.
Other emperors cut the common people's leeks, but I, Zhang Shengren, came specifically to cut the powerful leeks.
After saying that, Dou Yi paused and seemed to think about it before continuing: "However, this Alang is a minister, and his understanding is indeed very good. However, when governing a minister, one cannot be too righteous in the eyes of the minister.
"Listen to your words and watch your actions. Have you read books?" Zhang Liecheng whispered a few words beside Zhang Yan before Zhang Yan made his decision.
Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows. The word "zhi" cannot be described casually. In terms of future generations, "zhi" does not mean study, but research.
The so-called 800-mile expedited journey takes ten days, but in fact it is not that efficient at all. If you can run 150 to 200 miles in one day, that is your limit.
It turns out that their Li family was the in-laws of the Li family in Shatuo, Lanzhou.
Therefore, when at home, Dou Yi's father Dou Yanshan often climbed up the big tree at home and looked at Qionglin Academy in the palace in the distance. He often said that if he could go in and see it for one night, his life would be in vain.
Because those who write and annotate books are all from their own family. If you want to cure it, you must study and read at the same time. I have a rich collection of books at home. If you can come to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, you can come to Dou's house in the north of the city to look for it."
But then, Zhang Yan raised his voice and reprimanded with a bit of anger: "Since you are a Han son, how come you don't know the laws of the Han family?
Why don't we good people do it to the end, and you choose a member of the Jinyi Guard who is good at riding and rush back overnight to deliver the message to Dou Yanshan, so that he can feast his eyes on it as soon as possible."
In a place like this, if you don't support a bunch of small powerful people to take hold in the area, then prepare to be like the Tang Dynasty and raise a big trouble that is extremely difficult to control like the Tuqi Shi Khanate.
As an in-law of the Shatuo Li family, the Li Zun family took in a large number of Shatuo people who were wanted by Zhang Zhao, the then Hexi Jiedu envoy and the Shanlan Hekuo and Weizhou observation and disposal envoy.
"That was what my father did. He passed away a year ago. The servant and the Li family only want to be the pure sons of the saint and ask the saint to fulfill his wish."
The sentence "our hometown" was not very fancy, but it made Li Zun feel a little excited, as if he and Zhang Shengren were really from the same hometown. In fact, their hometowns were far away.
Zhang Haozi looked at Li Zun carefully for a while and then asked: "Tell me, how are you going to be this innocent?"
He who is familiar with Shangshu knows better that an emperor who can say "I made a mistake" without any scruples is not someone like him, a country rich man, who can use any tricks to deal with it.
That doesn't matter. If the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the world would still belong to all the people of the country. It would be better than falling into a situation like that of later generations.
Li Zun watched all this silently from the side, feeling horrified in his heart.
Li Zun kept blaming himself in his heart. He shouldn't have been greedy in the first place. He should have known that the court would never allow a family like theirs to appear.
Huh? This is what Zhang Hao didn't expect. Damn it, just now you said that studying is the inheritance of our family, but it turns out that you are not a Han but a Shatuo.
Of course, this also shows that Li Zun is indeed talented. He was able to study Shangshu at Birds and Rats Tongxue Mountain, which can be regarded as a wild man. However, he was appreciated by Dou Yi.
When the country was on the rise, the system of prefectures and counties helped the central government seize the power of the whole world. It was certainly conducive to the rule of one family and one surname, and it was also conducive to long-term peace and stability.
"I made a mistake! A Shatuoer like you is indeed a Han Chinese."
This made Zhang Yan stunned for a moment, and he was right! The Shatuo people had long been integrated into the Han people, and the Han people and the Shatuo people were basically indistinguishable from each other.
Therefore, although he really wanted Zhang Zhou to be passed on forever and his descendants to be masters from generation to generation, he was not prepared to force it for the sake of the honor of his family.
In the end, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty almost couldn't bear it anymore and asked Kong Yingda to repair it again. However, Kong Yingda died of illness before he could start repairing it.
Zhang Yan estimates that he can live to be thirty years old, so he will continue to harvest leeks for thirty years.
As a result, he didn't expect that there were still people secretly taking advantage of him around this small bird and mouse cave mountain.
Regarding this shortcoming, Zhang Xian felt that it still depends on how you look at it. As long as the Liufa Sect that controls the grassland to the west does not have major problems, then the challenge to the central government will not be great.
For example, when Zhang Xiancun went to Dali, Zhang Yan planned to ask powerful people such as Li Congzhao's family, Han Baozheng's family, An Shuqian's family, and the Li Zun family in front of him to pay for the trip.
So that the Chinese people's vision will not be so short-sighted that they can only see the thirteen provinces of Han Dynasty, but will look at the deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, jungles and vast oceans.
Dou Yi's father was called Dou Yujun. Because he was from the Yanshan area, he was called Dou Yanshan. Dou Yanshan in the Three-Character Classic had a righteous prescription and taught his five sons, all of whom were famous. That's him.
"If you can give up such a huge family property, it can be considered as a serious act. Before noon tomorrow, let all the athletes in your family come to Tianshui Mansion to wait for selection.
You just stay with me, don't rush to the battlefield, and study for a few more years."
Li Zun burst into tears with gratitude, and at the same time he truly felt that Zhang Shengren had such a broad mind that he would dare to take a sinner like him with him in the future.
But he didn't see Zhang Liecheng behind Zhang Yan smiling mysteriously.
How could it be so simple to want to become the emperor's confidant without having to submit a group of guys like him to submit a petition?
