Chapter 1006 Extra Golden Five Years

After listening to Li Su's explanation, Liu Bei felt that he seemed to be quite an agent for a moment, and pointed out a path he had never thought of before, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Li Su continued to talk and elaborate in detail: "Your Majesty, before Emperor Wu, there was no year name from Qin Shihuang to Emperor Xiaojing. Qin Shihuang's dynasty to thirty-sixth year, and since he was the King of Qin, he did not count as the emperor. Before Emperor Gaozu's reign, the Taishigong's dynasty was also recorded in the "first year of Han" to the "seventh year of Han".

Your Majesty has now dismissed the evil saying of "Heaven and Man Response" and changed to "The Palace of Blessings", and then the celestial phenomena and disasters have no connection with the virtues of the monarch. It is better to abolish the method of frequently changing the year name, which can be regarded as the source of the original nature.

What's more, Your Majesty is the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, and the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. King Jing of Zhongshan was the brother of Emperor Wu. Your Majesty did not come from the lineage of Emperor Wu, nor did he need to be like Guangwu. Emperor Ming was as afraid of the "resonance of heaven and man" and directly changed back to the old system of Emperor Gaozu to Emperor Xiaojing. What's wrong?"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought it made sense.

The year name did not exist since ancient times, but was only found after Emperor Wu of Han used Confucianism and was in harmony with the heavens and man.

Now that the celestial beings have no response, it is also correct not to change it! This will also eliminate many superstitions of gods and ghosts, and compress the living space for demons to deceive the public and make auspicious prophecies.

However, Liu Bei soon realized that he had already used the year name "Zhangwu". At that time, the world had not been unified, and it was not convenient to do too many meaningless and innovative things. Li Su was seeking stability at that time, but he didn't mention it, but now he came to mention it, so it was hard to ignore the year name Zhangwu.

Liu Bei thought about it again and humbly asked for advice: "The prime minister is naturally proficient in the principles of the general principles and principles. But how should we deal with this matter? The year number is still needed?"

Li Su reported: "Therefore, I think that since things have come to this point, there are so many historical difficulties. The year name is inconvenient to be abandoned, but it is not convenient to change. The virtue of a man's monarch is only related to the man himself and has nothing to do with the number of days. The future year name is only for people, not for heaven. A monarch can only be one yuan for one life.

I suggest that in the future, the disciplines and laws of the "Records of the Grand Historian" will be restored, such as the period from the "First Year of the Han Dynasty" to the "Seventh Year of the Han Dynasty". At the same time, the number of years of the previous year will be recorded.

This year is the eighteenth year of Zhangwu, and then it is the '420th year of Han Dynasty, the 18th year of Zhangwu', and so on."

Liu Bei thought about it and nodded in permission: "This method is very good, but the principle needs to be explained in detail in the prime minister so that scholars all over the world can understand the truth and correct the source. So that ignorant people will not think that I am knowledgeable and do not know how to change the year name!"

Liu Bei may not change the year name, but the words must be made clear and the truth must be thoroughly promoted.

This is the original source, which directly inherits the advantages of Qin Shihuang, Emperor Gaozu of Han to Emperor Jing of Han, and improves the part of the flaws that Emperor Wu of Han began to be deceived by evil sayings.

Li Sushao had to pay the price for his talkativeness and wrote some book to prove it.

Fortunately, he is already the prime minister, so he can just give academic thoughts and modify the specific writing style and wording, so that his wife can write it on his behalf.

As for Li Su taking the opportunity to elaborate this theory, it didn't take much effort to do him.

Because these things are the basic knowledge he learned when he was studying orthodox theory courses in his previous life, and are bound to "The Palace is Blessed". He mastered them so strongly that he can still remember them decades later.

Many people know that from Emperor Wu of Han to the Song Dynasty, the emperors of the Central Plains dynasty often changed their dynasty names for more than a thousand years.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became the "one lifetime and one Yuan system", which means that an emperor had a year name in his lifetime.

This is why later generations used the term names to refer to the emperor, and there were such terms as "Emperor Yongle", "Emperor Jiajing", "Emperor Chongzhen", and "Emperor Qianlong".

But most people who have never learned orthodox theory only remember a conclusion about the emergence of the "one-generation and one-yuan system".

Even the history department candidates only take this concept and fact in the exam, and have never carefully examined the orthodox philosophical principles.

In fact, the "one lifetime and one Yuan system" just appeared when Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was highly bound to "the palace has good fortune".

After all, in history, the "Theory of Blessings in the Palace" was created by Liu Ji, Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru, and the three of them made by one lifetime and one yuan.

The system of one lifetime and one yuan means that the year name has changed from being responsible to the sky in the era of "Heaven and Man Resonance" to being responsible to people.

Because they are responsible for people, they will not change their year number before changing, which has nothing to do with whether "the number of days changes and the artifacts are easier" from now on.

Many ignorant people underestimate the theory of "the palace has blessings", saying, "It is only used in the Ming Dynasty. Why didn't the central court proclaim that the palace has blessings in promoting "the palace has blessings"?"

In fact, there are some things that are not deliberately and comprehensively promoted. After all, you promote the personal status of those scholars of the Ming Dynasty and have no direct benefits to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, you are using the most valuable part to him.

The emperor is not a charity person who provides benefits, so he just needs to take away the benefits, and he does not have to be grateful to his benefactor.

The Qing Dynasty inherited the one-year system of one-year system, which was to learn from the benefits of "recognizing the prosperity of the palace and opposing the resonance of man and man".

Therefore, you must not just read conclusions and events when reading history books.

The contributions of Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru at that time were far greater than those thought by later generations. At least they greatly weakened the constraints of the "supercreation of gods, ghosts, and gods" from Liu Che to Zhu Yuanzhang for more than 1,400 years.

It is not possible to erase the achievements of the deceased in orthodox philosophy just because Zhu Di later destroyed their family.

History has never been a simple right or wrong. There is no "the enemy of a good person must be a bad person." Even if Zhu Di has martial arts, it does not mean that the people he killed are bad.

Not to mention that just because of the general bad impression of Confucianism in later generations, the traffic codes that curse "large families" on the Internet can be ignored by all the efforts of those who are trying to improve and optimize.

As the creator of "The Palace of the Palace is Blessed" in this world, Li Su must not be ambiguous about the orthodox principles of major issues. We must firmly suggest that Liu Bei also implement the one-time one-yuan system.

Otherwise, if he neglected this matter and waited for other descendants to study academically, figured out the truth in the future, and then proposed it under his banner, then Li Su would not be able to afford this person.

As the creator and master of "The Palace of Blessings", how could Li Sheng make such a low-level mistake? A person's academic system must be logically self-consistent, which is the basic requirement for the canonization of saints.

...

After that, Li Su devoted himself to the improvement of this academic system and discussed with his wife how to figure out the article closely.

Then he handed it over to Liu Bei for a review, and then discussed it with some other academic officials to make a comeback.

This was the case for the Han Dynasty to establish the one-year system of one-year and one-yuan system from then on, and used the dual-track parallel chronology law of "How many years in the Han Dynasty" and "How many years in the year" at the same time, which officially laid the basis for the law.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the governance of the Han Dynasty has also entered a new stage, and after eliminating external troubles, it has resumed a peaceful development period of rest and recuperation.

In the next two or three years, everything was indeed under control and nothing major happened. However, the speed of repayment of government debt was slightly slower than expected, and it was delayed until the end of the 21st year of Zhangwu (216) before it was completely paid off.

The twists and turns are also expected normal adjustments: in those years, several natural disasters occurred. Large-scale locusts and droughts occurred in Bingzhou area, which made the land of a state unconquered for more than a year.

Fortunately, Bingzhou has a small population, and it can survive by relying on subsidies from Jizhou and Guanzhong that have recovered. It is just spending some money and food, and it is exempted from tax for two years.

Later, there was another flood and earthquake in Jingzhou.

These expenses, coupled with the final stage of Guan Yu's elimination, had to maintain a combat force of about 20,000 in northern Xinjiang, and were always in a state of attack. If there was continuous military operation, it would also cost.

Together, these two items will not take up an extra year's fiscal balance.

However, during these years of rest and recuperation, although the imperial court did not build a large-scale construction or make random construction, the development and spontaneous investment of private industry and commerce have ushered in a golden period.

The previous improvement of the canal network and the big river and sea transport network has enabled the entire country to enter the first golden period of unified large markets.

The people become richer and richer, and various social divisions of labor are becoming more and more refined.

Previously, the phenomenon that "people around big cities no longer grow grain, but instead plant perishable vegetables that are difficult to transport for long distances, and then buy food transported from other places to eat" was only in the three places near Chang'an, Luoyang and Yecheng. After years of development, the people spontaneously learned from the scriptures and learned advanced experiences to get rich, and have spread to at least half of the prefecture-level cities.

That is, Chengdu, Jinling (Jianye has been renamed back), Wuchang, Xiangyang, Wancheng, Jixian, Xiapi, Xiangping, and Jinan, all have more or less economic forms.

Such private economy has grown spontaneously and deepened social division of labor, which in turn has further fed back the implementation of the "rental, mediocre, transfer and export" method.

Because the "renting and transferring" method and the previous version of the "renting and transferring" method, the most critical gap is that the word "return" is to reduce transportation costs into the official price and tax calculation system, and to desperately encourage the public to spontaneously find ways to reduce transportation costs, give benefits to those who reduce transportation costs, and expand industrial and commercial circulation.

Now around the richest big cities in each state, people dare not even plant their own food, but instead buy food after selling vegetables. The level of development of this commodity economy is naturally changing with each passing day, far from being comparable to the self-sufficiency state of the year.

The court's industrial and commercial taxation has also become more convenient, the tax base collection system has been more perfect, and the collection cost has been easier to spread.

Because no matter how many people are engaged in business, there will definitely be no shortage of officials in the business and taxation system that every county needs to support.

There are too many taxes to be collected and the tax base is larger, which is of course beneficial to the "depreciation and amortization" of fixed collection costs.

The only disadvantage is that tax officials basically have no time to rest and have to work overtime every day, but this is what official fans should do.

He has worked hard to get into the tax system after taking the imperial examination, which shows that he loves this career and shouldn't he work overtime?

After the further strengthening of transportation and commercial circulation, another benefit gradually emerged: the "logistics companies" represented by Zhuge Family have gradually begun to expand their business nationwide. In recent years, Dahan has finally appeared a private logistics network covering the whole country, and the cost is still cheaper than the imperial station system.

Private logistics is better at saving money, but the coverage rate is not as comprehensive as that of state-owned enterprises, and the timeliness is not as good as that of state-owned enterprises. This is also a normal phenomenon and the natural law of economic development.

Therefore, in the future, the state-owned station system will mainly send documents and letters, and the consignment of bulk materials will save even more money when assigned to private enterprises.

Under complementary constraints, both parties have guaranteed efficiency, leaving some competitive space to prevent the other party from gradually losing their opponents and becoming completely degenerate.

In the end, the imperial post station became a similar postal service, and the private logistics of the Zhuge family became something equivalent to one connection (the Zhuge family's industry was finally handed over to Zhuge Jun. After becoming an adult, Zhuge Jun worked as an official for a few years, and finally abandoned his official position and went to business, helping his sister share errands to take over.)

With these logistics systems, in the two years of 214 and 215, Bingzhou and Jingzhou encountered large-scale natural disasters again, which played an unexpected role.

That is, the powerful families in the local area, which rely on land annexation, hoarding goods in the desert, and speculating on high grain prices to take the opportunity to merge more land for poor people who cannot survive, has been subject to certain restrictions.

Because of speculation on hoarding grain, things like hoarding grain have been achieved since ancient times when transportation costs are high and long-distance food transportation is not cost-effective.

The "quasi-equal average" method from Sang Hongyang to Wang Anshi solves this problem. It depends on where the grain prices soared. The government has to organize transportation and dispatch grain in the past to stabilize grain prices, or rely on regular settlement.

In the previous era of Sang Hongyang, it mainly relied on the position of Changquan until Li Su's new law, and also relied on the position of Changquan. In the original history, this system could basically rely on the position of Changquan until the Song Dynasty.

Now that the private bulk long-distance logistics of Zhuge Liang and other families is built, it is equivalent to adding another insurance method to combine the two methods of closing the warehouse and "long-distance crossing states and counties with low-cost transportation of grain".

Even if there is a huge famine, the extreme situation where a county or even a state can't stop selling short, it can still transport food from other counties and other states.

Moreover, after arriving in the local area, it is still cheaper than the speculative and counter-trading of the aristocratic family, which suppresses land mergers and lowers the profit expectations after successful land mergers.

In 214, several families in Bingzhou were not good at it. They thought they could join forces to monopolize most of the food supply prices in Bingzhou, but the food transported from Zhuge Liang across Jizhou collapsed.

The situation was exactly the same during the Jingzhou disaster the following year. After these two waves, the local poor were in a stable mood, and the Zhuge family made a small amount of money for nothing and was loved by the people.

Of course, Zhuge Liang is very good at being a human being, and dealt with all this as "the logistics company of the Zhuge family was only hired by the court and dispatched to do this. They collected the money, and the court was the one who initiated this idea."
