Chapter 511 Waiting for change(2/2)
The second thing is to amend the Nine-Rank Officials Law to allow local states and counties to elect virtuous people, and focus on people of lower origins such as poor people, powerful people, etc., which also weakens the influence of the great gentry.
The third thing is to re-count the household registrations in various counties. The current household registration statistics are simply a joke, far smaller than the actual population. In fact, this problem was very common in the Later Han Dynasty. Zhang Bin believes that even if only hundreds of thousands more people can be counted,
It was an improvement compared to before, and he was convinced of it.
Statistical household registration is the prerequisite for the issuance of fixed rents and taxes. If it can be implemented, then there will be no need to keep making excuses with the gentry.
The fourth thing is to delete the laws and regulations.
Shi Le knew this very well. Laws were harsh and complicated, and if people accidentally violated them, the price would often be unbearable. He felt that some unreasonable, inhumane, too complicated, and too harsh laws should be deleted, so that
The people can breathe a sigh of relief, which can also stabilize society in disguise and facilitate governance.
In addition to the four things, there is actually an exhortation to teach farmers to grow mulberry trees.
He has been doing this, but he has only done half of it, that is, allocating fields and houses to the more than 70,000 infantrymen who started with him, allowing them to sow and harvest by themselves, and practice fighting in their free time.
As for other than these people, he couldn't control them, and he didn't have the energy to do so for the time being. Instead, he entrusted them to the gentry to rule powerfully.
To this end, he ordered his sons, nephews and generals to marry the gentry in Hebei and Bingzhou to deepen their relationship with each other.
To be fair, if Shi Le is given a few more years to carry out these five things one by one and implement them in depth, he will really have a firm foothold in Hebei. The "Hebei League Leader" will be at his fingertips, just like the "Henan League Leader"
"Same as Shao Xun.
When doing things these days, you can't escape from these few things.
Countless people have helped sum up the experience. If you want to find another way, it will often be self-defeating.
Policies must be consistent with three things: first, the level of productivity; second, the traditions and values of the times; third, the external and internal environment.
If you don't do these three things, you won't know how you will die.
The five things Shi Le wanted to do were actually reliable, which may be one of the factors that contributed to his success.
But he doesn't have this time anymore because someone doesn't want to give him a chance.
That man is very cruel, and he keeps a close eye on those who have proven himself in history, and he will kill them quickly.
This is life, there is no way around it.
"Where is Shao Xun?" For a moment of emotion, Shi Le once showed some weakness, but now he sat up straight, expelling his inappropriate emotions, and asked in a deep voice.
"We can arrive in Changle County the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Zhang Jing put down his bowls and chopsticks and said first.
"How is Changle County?" Shi Le asked.
"It can't be stopped." Zhang Jing replied honestly: "Perhaps we can only think of a way in Anyang. Taobao sent thousands of people south to defend the city."
"Thousands of people?"
"Taobao doesn't really want to defend Anyang. He wants to fight Shao Xun in Yecheng." Zhang Jing glanced at Shi Le and said.
Shi Le was thoughtful, but now was not the time to care about such nonsense. He thought for a while and said: "This is not wrong."
"At the end of May, Shao Xunfu arrived in Fangtou."
"In the first ten days of June, it went down the Baigou, and then came to Huangchi. Ships swarmed into Huangchi, constantly hoarding grain and equipment."
"Now we have another army at Changle. If we can defeat it, we will head west towards Anyang."
"The army on the west route formed a camp step by step, defeated Chaoge, seized the stone bridge, crossed Changsha Valley, and headed north to approach Dangyin."
"The two groups are about to meet up. Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Bin also finished eating. After rinsing his mouth, he said directly: "Your Majesty, it's time to send another group of people to Pingyang."
When Shi Le heard this, he said: "Ma Jing and Zhu Ji's people only accept money and do nothing. It is really hateful."
Zhang Bin still looked at him.
Shi Le came to his senses and immediately smiled and said: "Don't be upset, Meng Sun. I will send someone to Pingyang right now."
"Over there in Anping..." Zhang Bin said again.
"Liang Zhenyuan doesn't dare to be cunning. If Shao Xun is allowed to capture Ye City, it will be difficult for him. His soldiers will come, don't worry." Shi Le said.
Zhang Bin nodded, and then said: "There is only one strategy now, which is to resist at the provincial level and wait for change."
"Meng Sun might as well elaborate."
"Dangyin can no longer be defended, so we can abandon it, but Anyang cannot be abandoned." Zhang Bin said: "Anyang is only forty miles away from Yecheng in the north, which can be said to be very close. There are Anyang Bridge, Hanling Mountain, Yema Gang, Cao Cao in the north of the city.
Bridges and other places that are conducive to garrisoning troops can be used to send infantry troops forward, set up strongholds on the road, and resist at every level. The longer the delay, the better."
"In Yecheng, the city defenses were repaired, supplies were widely stored, and soldiers were recruited to facilitate the defense."
"Choose additional cavalry and elite infantry, and dispatch brave generals to lead them. Your Majesty knows better than me what to do."
After hearing this, Shi Le pondered for a moment and asked, "What if Shao Xun refuses to leave, and we attack him step by step?"
"Delay and wait for change." Zhang Bin repeated it again.
Shi Le remained silent.
Zhang Bin believed that he could no longer resist Shao Xun on his own and needed help from the imperial court.
This strategy is not foolproof.
How long it can be delayed is the question.
What will be the consequences of procrastination is also a question.
Until the end, it was still a question of whether anyone would come to rescue.
There are too many problems, but there is no solution.
Even if there is a decisive battle with Shao Xun, it is better to delay it first and be more prepared.
As for the alienation of Hebei scholars because of this, that is a trivial matter.
If we cannot win this battle, everything will be lost.
If he wins this battle, the wallflowers will come back to support him and beat him up.
"What's going on with King Zhongshan?" he asked.
"We fought several battles with Tuoba, with wins and losses." Zhang Bin did not mention Liu Kun, because he did not have many soldiers, and most of them were new soldiers, so he could not play any role. He could only sit and watch Tuoba Xianbei and the Pingyang court.
The war, although this war was caused by him.
After Shi Le listened, he didn't speak for a long time.
Others did not interrupt and waited patiently.
"Bang!" Shi Le slapped the table and said, "In that case, let's just stop doing it. Send the order to send the crown prince to Pingyang. If his mother dares to make any noise, I will divorce her."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Bin, Zhang Jing and others, and said: "There are still some difficulties in this battle, let's go over them together."
