    Night gradually fell, and the noise in Weiyang Palace also faded away.  Sitting on the throne, Liu Che lowered his head and looked at the report just submitted by the embroidered guard.  There are many reports, one foot high, and they are all related to the information, actions, and background descriptions of the planners and officials of each county and country who are involved in this great court meeting.  Liu Che reviewed them one by one, and from time to time asked some questions to the several embroidered guards in front of him.  Since the sixth year of Yuande, factions divided by ideology and ideological tendencies began to appear in the Han political arena.  Confucianism, Legalism, Huang, Lao, Za, and even the Mohists all organized their own small groups in the political arena.  They compete with each other, but they cooperate with each other.  If all goes well and this situation continues for a hundred years, Liu Che has no doubt that on the basis of these small groups, a number of political parties or similar organizations with Zhuxia characteristics will be born.  Even now, the Mohist and Zajia schools are already evolving in the direction of modern party organizations.  They even have some characteristics of a political party.  ?For example, action programs, organizational disciplines, ideals, beliefs and action goals.  And this undoubtedly greatly increased the burden on Liu Che, the emperor.  Political parties or similar organizations have always been the biggest hidden danger and threat to imperial power.  It is necessary to monitor and monitor their every move.  Of course, Liu Che will not go out of his way to attack or suppress their development.  Reviewing these materials, Liu Che's expression gradually became serious.  From the Xiuyiwei's report and related intelligence, Liu Che saw that in the officialdom, the Confucian, Legalist, and Huang Lao factions began to have their own bases and bases.  ??For example, Gongyang School and Chu Poetry School have now penetrated into all aspects of Qi, Lu, Wu and Chu.  Up to now, they have not only absorbed and digested all the influence of the Lu and Confucian clan in the past, but also further relied on the powerful bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty itself to penetrate their influence into all local classes.  They not only have spokespersons in the officialdom, but also have a large number of businessmen supporters.  These businessmen donated funds to various academic institutions in exchange for support and cover from the academic community, and then formed an alliance with the official scholar-bureaucrats.  Interest groups are formed in this intricate network of relationships.  According to the report of the Embroidery Guard in the Qichu area, there have been signs of silk and linen cannibalism in the Qichu area. As the commodity economy of the Han Dynasty continued to prosper, the demand for cloth and silk was increasing day by day, and the profits of the hand-weaving industry continued to increase.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  ??The market demand for cloth and silk in the Han Dynasty itself is more than millions of pieces every year, and it is constantly increasing.  The profits from growing ramie and breeding silkworms far exceed those from rice and corn.  Therefore, driven by interests, businessmen, landlords and bureaucrats in Qichu began to encourage and even force farmers to plant ramie, mulberry trees and raise silkworms.  On the other hand, both silk reeling and ramie spinning require a lot of labor.  Therefore, they began to use various means to force farmers into bankruptcy and make them into debt, and they had to work in their workshops to repay their debts.  This shocked Liu Che.  Fortunately, this sign has just appeared, and it is only the beginning, so the local social conflicts are still controllable.  ¡°Moreover, these scumbags are wary and don¡¯t dare to look too ugly or do anything too mean.  But as time goes by, the phenomenon of sheep cannibalizing people and cotton cannibalizing people will definitely become more and more serious in the future.  The only good news may be that the Han Dynasty now occupies Munan and has established a solid rule there.  Therefore, it should be said that it will not develop to the terrible level of the early stage of the British Industrial Revolution.  And speaking of it, it¡¯s also funny.  In fact, the reason why this happened in Qilu was because of Anton.  Since last year, Andong¡¯s reclamation business has begun to support the Han Dynasty.  Especially the Qilu area, because it has fixed and frequent maritime connections with Anton.  A large amount of surplus grain produced by the Andong Reclamation Corps was transported to Qilu by building ships and civilian ships.  Cheap food from Anton poured into Qilu, so that Qilu no longer had to worry about food shortages even though it had carried out large-scale conversion of rice into mulberry and hemp.  Workers who work in workshops can also use their wages to buy enough food to feed their families.  Without having to worry about food shortages, Sangma in Qilu, Wuchu and?Developed rapidly.  ??Whether it is for businessmen, workshop owners, landowners or even farmers, the mulberry and hemp industry and the textile industry have more prospects than pure agriculture.  If you plant food in the ground, you do n¡¯t say it, you may not be able to fill the belly of the family.  After all, this is not the future after the opening of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.  The places south of the Yangtze River such as Qilu, Wuchu, and Chu are not yet the land of plenty.  Especially in the Wuchu area, the infrastructure itself is very backward, with few channels and incomplete water conservancy facilities.  In comparison, growing mulberry or working in a workshop is a lot of hard work, but the rewards are much better than farming!  The seeds of capitalism have already begun to emerge in the South.  In the north, the influence of Legalism is like an octopus, deeply entangled in many counties.  Out of Guanzhong and heading north, Taiyuan, Daiguo, Shangjun, Yunzhong, Longyou, Yunzhong, Beidi, and even Gaoque and Jiuyuan are now basically governed by Legalists.  Each Legalist official worked from the grassroots level to the county governor¡¯s office.  In these places, except for the officials who were retired soldiers, almost all other positions are held by Legalists.  Legalism itself also has a close relationship with the military.  Especially the generals and military nobles in Daibei area, they are almost in the same breath as the Legalists.  In these places, Legalists and the military jointly weaved a large network based on laws and systems and based on military merit and military honors.  Here, all the people are soldiers, and every household is keen on martial arts.  Officials at all levels in counties, counties, and pavilions actively organized and trained a large number of militiamen.  The policy of fake livestock and horses has resulted in almost every small and medium-sized landowning family in the north having a young man who is good at riding and shooting.  They craned their necks, looking forward to the call from Chang'an every day.  The local military aristocrats, after becoming nobles, not only did not bully their neighbors, but also the fish and meat village.  ¡°On the contrary, they are the leaders in reducing rents and interest rates in the north.  If a school captain is born in a township, the whole township will hold a banquet to celebrate for three days.  Because this means that from now on, the burden of the elders in the village will be greatly reduced!  This captain will definitely repay his fellow villagers!  It will also become the biggest supporter for fellow villagers when they encounter problems or injustice!  At the same time, he will continue to bring a large number of young disciples to the army.  Nowadays, the various departments of the Han army respect the disciple soldiers the most!  This is a truth that has been recognized by the world since the time when Chu and Han fought for hegemony.  The King of Han relied on his abundant followers to conquer the world, and Xiang Yu also relied on his three thousand loyal followers from Jiangdong.  The emerging military aristocrats are not exempt from vulgarity.  They need, and indeed hope, to have a loyal, brave, tenacious, and unyielding army of soldiers as their backing and backbone!  Therefore, throughout northern China, local order, customs, and habits are completely different from those in the south.  When you walk into the north, you will find that you are not coming to a feudal society.  It is a militaristic society armed with the system and laws of Shang Jun.  Every household is equipped with crossbows and swords, and every village has a militia organization.  As for the young men whizzing past between counties and villages, they will let you know that this place is definitely not a place to be bullied.  Even those greedy landowners and powerful people who used to exploit people's bones and exploit them in every possible way are now too scared to do anything but keep their tail between their legs and not dare to exploit people too much.  They even had to respond to the initiative of local heroes and reduce rents and interest rates.  The pictures and scenes that Xunzi saw when he entered the Qin Dynasty a hundred years ago are now reappearing in the north.  And more scenes and things that Xunzi has never seen are constantly appearing.  But what is interesting is that in a place where Legalism has an absolute advantage and has strict organization and order, the strength and scale of merchants is no smaller than in the south.  Every day, thousands of people, pushing carts or driving livestock, or forming large caravans, head to Munan along the ancient Huizhong Road and Straight Road.  They brought Chinese grain, ironware, salt, medicinal materials, spices, cloth and copper coins to Munan.  In exchange for a large amount of furs, livestock, and dairy products.  The farming people and the nomadic people have been mortal enemies for thousands of years.  But now, when the Han Dynasty dominates the grasslands with unprecedented power, everyone is shocked to find that the royal family and the people who lead the bow are two poles that naturally complement each other. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?Raise livestock, but are always in crisis of survival.  ??Especially the lower class herdsmen, life is difficult and precarious.  The lives of people on the grassland are as fragile as grass.  In order to survive, the people who lead the bow can only try every means to obtain food.  Therefore, thousands of years of evolution have made their bodies gradually thicker and shorter. This is caused by the rules of evolution. If the nomadic people cannot make their heights as short as possible, then they will not be able to maintain their own existence.  . ????????????? People who are farmers have cultivated the land for generations and foraged food from the barren mountain land.  The nutrition of corn and soybeans is very limited. Only the children of the small and medium-sized landlord class can eat meat with high nutritional value to strengthen themselves.  Therefore, in history books, the usual adjectives used to describe the poor are: they have plenty of food.  But now, everything has changed!  The cheese and livestock of the Yi Gong people were brought back to China by these merchants.  And the victory of previous wars has resulted in North China itself having a large stock of livestock.  Today, although eating meat is still a luxury for ordinary people in the north, only landlords from well-off families can eat meat from time to time.  But cheese and other dairy products have entered thousands of households.  With the protein and nutritional supplements brought by cheese, the physical fitness of northern teenagers began to improve continuously.  The large amount of imported wool also supports the related wool textile industry.  The various tribes in Munan also received corn, wheat, salt, ironware, and cloth from China.  We have also obtained China¡¯s advanced technology, especially animal husbandry technology and green storage technology.  The lives of the lower-level herdsmen have been completely changed.  A stone of cheese can be exchanged for ten times the amount of grain.  For the first time in their lives, the nomadic people can fill their stomachs without taking risks.  This is simply a miracle!  The Xiu Yiwei's report clearly describes these facts.  Closing the report, Liu Che stared ahead. He knew that the world line and the historical line had been completely overturned.  The Han Dynasty does not even need to make other efforts now, it just needs to maintain the rule of Munan.  Within a hundred years, the Han Dynasty was able to establish the first central empire in history that completely digested and ruled the grasslands.  and completely eliminate the threat of nomads!  Just like during the reign of Yin, Shang and Zongzhou, the greatest threat to the Central Empire was the barbarians from the south.  However, through hundreds of years of evolution and assimilation during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.  Nowadays, what was once the land of barbarians and barbarians is now China.  It's just "I must find a way to differentiate between you and the north and the south" Liu Che stood up and told himself in his heart.  He can already foresee the future. If he does not intervene, then the Han Dynasty will definitely have huge differences and polarization between the north and the south in the future.  With force in hand, a society based on the northern military generals group and its landlord and small-peasant economy based on military merits and deeds.  There are also wealthy southern merchant capital landlord groups.  If you are not careful, maybe a hundred years later, the Han Dynasty will have to fight a civil war and use fists to resolve differences and conflicts.  This is not good!  Because, by that time, if there is a conflict between the North and the South and a war breaks out.  So, the winner will inevitably liquidate the loser.  The problem is that the current social and political forces in China are not limited to Confucianism and Legalism.  The Miscellaneous Family in Anton, the Huanglao Sect in Qinghe, Hejian and Changshan areas, and even the Guanzhong Mohist Society are all important forces.  If a war really starts, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t just be the Civil War.  It is very likely that it will turn into a melee among hundreds of families.  After taking a few steps, Liu Che had already made a decision.  He must establish a system and leave behind a force that can ensure the effective operation of this system.  This power must be enough to suppress everything and convince others to abide by this system.  "Learn from Kemal?" Liu Che thought.  ??????????????????Although local chickens are funny in future generations, the system of military maintenance of constitutional government left by the founding leader Kemal Kemal has guaranteed the secularization of that country for decades.  Suppressed local stubborn conservative radical forces for decades.  It was not until later that everything changed, and the world trend reversed. Under the general trend, the military power was disintegrated, and Fang was destroyed by others.  It¡¯s justhow to ensure that soldiers can maintain this system?  Wuyuan¡¯s education and thoughtIndoctrination can achieve this goal.  But it¡¯s not enough!  This matter must be linked to mission, honor, and belief!  ??Even, it has to be linked to the law.  Just as he was thinking about this matter, Yan Yi's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, General Lou Chuan wants to see you" Liu Che came back to his senses and immediately said: "Xuan!" General Xu Han of Lou Chuan was arranged by Liu Che to enter tonight.  The palace came to discuss matters.  The matters discussed are not simple either.  It is a discussion about the jurisdiction order and legislation of the Louchuan Jiangjun Yamen over the sea, especially the sea areas controlled by the Han Dynasty.  ??To be precise, it is the final exchange and communication to discuss the relevant provisions of the "Maritime Law" that will be submitted to the third reading of the Imperial Council.
