From the day he left Chang'an City, Suning knew that the world was completely different from the past. The world he saw was no longer a miserable world, nor a world where corrupt officials were rampant. Suning had always been worried that in ancient times, In the dynasty, no matter how determined the emperor was in anti-corruption, the result was always to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The emperor who killed the most ruthless officials in history was Zhu Yuanzhang. The punishments for dealing with corrupt officials are only those you can imagine, and he could not have invented them. However, corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty disappeared. Yet? If power cannot be restricted, corruption will be difficult to eradicate, but an absolute balance of power is impossible. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. How can corruption be eradicated? The so-called democratic system only limits corruption to a relatively small scope, allowing more people to supervise public power users and have the right to remove public power users. But can corruption be completely avoided? Even with the power of life and death in the hands of the emperor, corruption cannot be eradicated. No matter how iron-blooded the emperor is, he cannot do it. In many cases, the emperor will only turn a blind eye because strict anti-corruption will make his own life miserable. The throne is threatened. Suning thought of many ways, from expanding the number of imperial censors to amending laws. He tried everything he could do in this era and tried to do his best. However, during the era of His Majesty Li Er, three major events still happened In the corruption incident at the port, His Majesty Li Er went on a killing spree, killing nearly a thousand people, and abolishing the positions of hundreds of officials. The vigorous naval operation almost aborted. With Zhenguan¨N, imperial politics in the w¦æww. era If the level of clarity cannot suppress the occurrence of major corruption incidents, how can we talk about other eras? When His Majesty Li Er was in power, there were some things that Suning did not dare to say, and His Majesty Li Er would never accept. However, Li Chengqian, who had known him since childhood, was different. Compared with His Majesty Li Er, he had grown up and experienced amidst swords, swords, shadows and conspiracies. Li Chengqian received an orthodox education and was greatly influenced by Suning when he was growing up. In terms of behavior, compared to His Majesty Li Er, he was more inclined to use gentle negotiation methods rather than swords and swords to solve problems. This is Li Chengqian's advantage. So for a period of time after Li Chengqian ascended the throne. Every time when he was against Li Chengqian, Suning would instill his ideas into Li Chengqian bit by bit, telling him that top-down repetition would only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and the emperor's personal likes and dislikes could only have a temporary effect. It has a permanent effect, but it cannot have a permanent effect. If it wants to have a permanent effect, these provisions must first be determined in the form of law and become national law. Secondly, we must work hard on means and methods. In the past, Zhuge Liang's first step in governing Western Shu was to convene Fazheng, Huang Quan and other ministers to formulate a strict "Shu Science". Some people wonder whether this was too harsh and could easily harm the Liu Bei Group and Shu, which were still unstable at the time. The feelings between people, but Zhuge Liang said that in troubled times, tolerance is important, and in times of relaxation, tolerance is important. In peacetime, the threat of war is lost. Productivity increases, people's living standards improve, and when the level of food and clothing is reached, they will naturally pursue higher-level things, and corruption and crime will breed. At this time, if strict laws are not used to regulate people's behavior, then the people's morale will be corrupted. Morality will deteriorate. Liu Zhang's governance of Shu was called weak. That's it. Although the outside world is in turmoil, Shu is singing and dancing in peace. The entire Shu region was a hotbed of corruption. After decades of governance by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, the Shu region was captured by Liu Bei within two or three years. This was the reason why so many people surrendered and joined the enemy. But Suning gave an extended explanation of Zhuge Liang's words. Suning told Li Chengqian that our external environment is not stable enough, but internally, China is already quite stable and peaceful. The economy is developing rapidly and people's lives are getting better and better. It seems that the time has come to use Chongdian. time, but we must never forget that the people are our foundation. What we are most worried about is the rebellion of the people. And if there are no external factors, it is difficult to imagine that the people will take the initiative to rebel. Since ancient times, people have said that if the government forces the people to rebel, the government will not Come on, people have a secure life, so why do they want to rebel? It is not the common people who really need to use heavy codes, but the officials. The civil laws we enact can be tolerant and gentle. We should adopt more Huang Lao's techniques, rest with the people, and try not to disturb ordinary people. What really needs to be controlled and dealt with are local governments. Officials and local tycoons used Huang-Lao's techniques in the early Han Dynasty, which accumulated strong national power for the Han Dynasty in several decades and laid an economic foundation for counterattacking the Xiongnu. However, what followed was the rampant tyranny, and the government colluded with them. , so that the people did not know that there was a court or an emperor. Therefore, we need to use heavy codes and Legalist techniques for officials and powerful people, and use gentle Huang-Lao techniques for ordinary people, rest with the people, try not to disturb them, pay enough taxes, and commit no crimes, then That's it, let them multiply, have more children, accumulate manpower and material resources, and hide wealth among the people. When they are really needed, they will be grateful for the kindness of the court and will naturally serve. As for the powerful and powerful people who already have a lot of wealth and power, then To suppress, ?If we can make them fish and meat in the countryside, we must supervise the powerful government officials to prevent them from running rampant in the countryside and preying on the people. We must also be on guard against them joining forces with the powerful and covering the sky with one hand. To do this is easier said than done. We deal with businessmen very simply. Businessmen and their descendants are not allowed to be officials. One person does business, and the whole family and relatives within the three clans are not allowed to become officials. The main thing is to learn Legalism. Officials of Zhishu serve as local officials and officials of the Municipal Shipping Department to strictly guard against merchants. However, dealing with local powerful people and the government is a very serious problem. We need to be careful. If we are not careful, the government will force the people to rebel. We will suppress it. Or not suppress it? Although it sounds good to say that Legalist techniques and Huang-Lao techniques are used interchangeably, what happens in practice? There are too many uncertain factors, and it is difficult for court officials to control them. Therefore, this power should be delegated to the local people, and the people should be organized to elect highly respected people to serve as the three elders in the countryside. They do not have to be old or talented. If you are famous and fair enough, you can become the third elder, a representative of the people, and govern the local area together with the local government. Local people will always take care of local people, unlike foreign government officials. If the government makes a decision that is not conducive to local development, the three elders can refute it, just like the Menxia Province refutes the emperor's will, the three elders can refute the government decree. As far as impeaching county officials, or even state officials, directly complaining, the three elders can directly report to the emperor on behalf of the people, punish local officials, etc. This is the most original and oldest democratic supervision policy, and it is also the highest level that Suning can achieve at present. Suning didn't know if it was feasible to do this, and he didn't know whether such a decree would be thoroughly implemented and implemented at the local level. He also didn't know what problems would occur during the implementation process. So this time Suning left Chang'an City, by the way. He also brought Li Chengqian's instruction to "inspect the world on behalf of the emperor" and did not tell the officials the specific whereabouts in order to frighten the officials. The main legal changes made by the Chenghe Dynasty were aimed at officials, especially local officials. It is difficult to guarantee that local officials would often resist and obey the imperial decrees. Suning himself was also a little worried. Although he could no longer make any decisions in the court, he could still use his remaining energy. Du Ruhui chose to be a teacher to use his remaining energy. Li Jing chose to write military books and make teaching materials for the military university. Use the remaining heat. Suning also chose to travel around the world and inspect the world. Shock the world and use this to exert the remaining heat. More and more old people will retire and give up their power to young people so that they can use their abilities. However, there is no doubt about the experience and ability of the old people. Under the guidance of the imperial court's employment policy that pays more and more attention to practical ability. . It is unimaginable that in the future the imperial court will have many officials who only know how to talk but do not know how to do it. Everyone is very capable and has the warm-up to perform. It is not the best choice to die at home. Led by Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Suning, the officials of the Tang Dynasty also had an unwritten rule. Corresponding to the inheritance of the royal Zen position, once a minister is exhausted, he should take the initiative to resign to the emperor and give up his power to younger officials, and he should retreat to the second line, which does not mean to completely retire. , but you can choose to learn from Du Ruhui, Li Jing or Suning, choose to be a teacher, or write a memoir or your own experience to be passed down to future generations, or you can travel around the world like Suning, inspect the world, use your remaining energy, even if you leave If you go to court, you can also play a role. The actions of Li Jing, Du Ruhui and Suning unintentionally prepared another path for the officials of the Tang Dynasty to take. Suning didn't know how much impact his actions would have in the future. He only knew that his current approach was the most appropriate approach. He went south to the south of the Yangtze River, crossed the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, and entered the place where he had fought hard. Here he saw Arriving at the river where Xue Rengui once fought to the death, he saw the Battle of the River Bank where he once defeated the enemy. He arrived at the Lujiang River, and in front of the tombstone of Zhou Yu, who had been drunk more than ten years ago, he once again drank and talked with the deceased Governor Zhou. Governor Zhou met After Mingzhu, it was a pity that Mingzhu left too early. The succeeding master obviously did not have the mind and courage to accommodate Zhou Yu. Suning felt that he was very lucky to have met Li Shimin and Li Chengqian. There is no doubt that Li Shimin was talented and courageous. Even if he made mistakes, there was no doubt that he created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. It is also true that he did not kill the hero. There is no doubt that he has enough mind and courage to control the officials. Under his men, the heroes started well and ended well. This is extremely rare among the emperors in the past. It is almost a theorem to kill the heroes to determine the world. There are not many emperors. It can be avoided, and Li Shimin is one of the few. And he met Li Shimin, just like Zhou Yu met Sun Ce, and Suning was also very lucky. Li Shimin did not die early, and his successor Li Chengqian was not like Sun Quan. The city was too deep, generous on the surface, but short of breath on the inside; so he could I can live so coolly until nowSa, he could even not call Li Chengqian a minister in private, but still address him as a child. He was the only minister of civil and military affairs in the dynasty. He was very grateful to this family. A family that had been changed, he always knew that without him , this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen. He came to the mansion where he lived, met the people who fought side by side with him, inspected the people who settled here because of his policies, and the people from Jiangbei who settled in Jiangnan because of the land policy. They all lived a good life. No one beats them, no one tortures them. Policies are implemented very well here. The abundant funds brought by the big port have brought sufficient capital for the construction and development here. You can see the high spirits on the faces of the people here. Upward fighting spirit and expectations for the future. With expectations for the future, there is a future. Suning continued to go south, and at Meiling Pass he paid homage to the 500,000 Qin soldiers who had gone south to open up new territory, and to pay homage to Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who had opened up this precious land for China. Forget the majestic 500,000-strong Chinese Qin Army; no matter what other actions he did, his merits are merits and his faults are faults. They cannot be generalized. He opened up Lingnan and immigrated millions. The First Emperor's magnanimity and foresight cannot be said to be inhumane. I feel shocked and impressed. Turning to Guchaisang, Suning unexpectedly discovered that many people already lived around the monument he had erected. The people here believed that the inscription written by Lord Su could bless them, so they took it as the center. The refugees who moved south took the initiative to live here, clearing wasteland, farming, building houses, and recuperating. State officials naturally wanted them to open up wasteland here, increase county offices, and increase taxes. The people here asked for this new settlement to be established. The request to name the county "Ning" was also agreed to. Ning County, a new county with an initial population of 60,000 and an area of ??several hundred miles, gradually developed in the desolate southern country. Now, more than ten years later, in the third year of Chenghe, the permanent population has exceeded 300,000, with an area of ??several thousand miles. It is a famous county in the South. It connects the earliest developed Yangzhou to the north, and connects the counties in Lingnan that developed rapidly with the help of sea transportation to the south. It connects the previous and the lower and becomes a famous transfer station. The birthplace of Lord Su of Suning is also one of the most famous landscapes here. , the incense was endless. When Suning arrived here, the streets were empty, and people went to pay homage to Mr. Su Now it should be called the true appearance of Mr. Su Suning stood up generously and talked cordially with the people here. , I personally went to see the Suhou Monument, which is well cared for, and the Suhou Shrine, which is full of incense. I saw that my statue was so "powerful". The power of the Tang people seemed to be full of flesh and beards. His eyes widened with anger, shocking Xiao Xiao Suning was a little depressed. He obviously had red lips and white teeth. Even if he was not very handsome, he was still good-looking enough to gain a foothold in a court that had strict requirements on appearance Many, many years later, he originally followed Su Qingzhi, the youngest son by Suning's side, wrote a memoir describing how when his father arrived in Ning County, the excitement and heartfelt reverence on the faces of men, women and children had the first impact on him. From then on, this expression became his His longing for a man like his father was his longing Suning stayed in Ning County for two full months, where people built a courtyard for him. Suning happily accepted it and led the whole family to live in it. Before leaving, the two During the month, I traveled around the entire Ning County. Accompanied by the Ning County Magistrate, I inspected the surrounding terrain of the entire Ning County. Then I wrote a detailed development blueprint and gave it to the Ning County County Government, telling them how to plan Ning County next. , planned the development of the entire surrounding area, and also wrote a separate development blueprint for the entire surrounding area and handed it to the state government, telling them to proceed with caution. Your own blueprint has certain reference value, but don¡¯t stick to your own blueprint. Choose the most suitable method according to local conditions. Many officials here are hard-working talents selected by the new imperial examination, and there are also graduates of the University of Political Science and Law. Suning warned them, for Officials, remember to protect the environment and the people, make political achievements, and don't do things that make the people hate you. Heaven's way of reincarnation has its own destiny. If you don't want to bring trouble to future generations, don't do things that go against your will. If you don't believe me, look up and see God. Who to let go? Two months later, Suning left here and continued to the south. Before leaving, there was another send-off in front of an empty street. The county magistrate led all the county officials and people to see each other off for more than ten miles. Suning persuaded them to go back. Each cultivates the land and develops the local area. In the future, he will come again. He likes that villa very much. If possible, he will choose to be here with his family and accompany everyone here. In this place with his The place named after you will live your whole life
