New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 761: The Politics of the Three Elders

In the blink of an eye, five days passed. The bulletin board in front of the Henan Yinguan Office finally posted Lu Bu, announcing that the imperial court would implement a new taxation policy, and the three things of sharing acres, returning fire to the public, and paying the government and the gentry together. I gave a very simple introduction. I don’t know which famous artist’s handwriting came from. They are all six to eight-character verses. The text is simple, almost in the vernacular, but it is captivating to read, and there is no obstacle at all. As long as the people who know hundreds of words can read it three or two times, they can get a rough idea.

In less than a day, in the city of Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the boys and virgins all over the street began to recite their songs with extremely clear and tender voices. "The soldiers and civilians are waiting to hear you really, and let me elaborate on the taxation from the beginning?????? Originally, the land rented and paid the valley, the men and women used copper coins, and the men were paid for military service. Nowadays, three times all the money is discounted every year. End of August money and food??????"

For the ordinary people, Da Sima’s new taxation policy is naturally a great thing. It turns out that the tax is paid, the grain is paid, the money is paid, the person is paid, and there is no trouble for ten and a half months every year, and I can't even think about it. It's all right now, at least one day, or as many as two days, it will definitely be completed. Coupled with the new collection of five baht coins and silver coins, the water cost for the silver coins is reduced by seven or eight. In addition, the fire consumption has been set at 25%, even if it is slightly increased, it is almost 70% to 80% lighter than before.

Suddenly, the whole Luoyang city became lively, and the civilians spontaneously set up a social fire, reported to the government, each took out food and drink, and gathered together to prosper and lively. The three elders, Lizheng, and the pavilion chief also had their beards up, sipping a little wine in their mouths, enjoying themselves with the people. When the people have reduced their burdens, it will be much easier to finish their money and food, and their messengers will be easier to handle.

The family law of this dynasty is to pursue Huang Lao politics, and the foundation of this Huang Lao politics is civil autonomy.

The civil organizations in the Qin and Han dynasties were the politics of the three elders, and the so-called three elders were the town officials in charge of education. During the Warring States Period, there were three elders in Wei, three elders in the township in the Qin Dynasty, three elders in the county in the Han Dynasty, and three elders in the county after Emperor Guangwu, and even the three elders in the country for a while. The reason why the three elders are so valued by the court is very simple, that is, the three elders actually shouldered 70% of the responsibilities of local officials in the dynasty.

The requirements of the three elders in this dynasty are very high, "Jumin is over fifty years old, has spiritual practice, can be good, and regards the three elders as the three elders in the township. Wei and Wei teach each other with matters, and don't go to war again. Give wine and meat in October." The Qin Dynasty had set up the "Three Olds in the Township", but Gao Di was the first person to set up the political system of the "Three Olds in the County". The three elders in the Gaodi period were mainly selected from the respected senior citizens. The advantage is that they do not need to perform military service and military service, and they are rewarded with wine and meat in October every year.

At the beginning of the country, the folk customs were still very simple, and the emperor's reward of wine and meat was regarded as a huge honor by the people. Therefore, most of the candidates for the three elders are highly respected seniors in the village. Therefore, seven or eight of the credit for Huang Lao's politics in the early years of this dynasty will fall on the San Lao. The imperial court ruled from top to bottom, regardless of whether it was big or small, and all government affairs were left to the three elders in the village.

It was precisely because of the combination of the upper-level Huang-Lao politics and the lower-level Politics of the Three Elders that in the early years of the Kingdom, the great governance of Wenjing Zhizhi came into being.

The Sanlao is the general term for the township officials. At the beginning, it referred to three positions, "ranked, husband, and wandering." According to the rule: "The rate is ten miles and one pavilion, and the pavilion has a long; ten pavilions have one township, and the township has three elders, ranks, husbands, and wanderers. The three seniors are in charge of education; Thieves and thieves. The county is generous with a hundred li, and its people are thick and thin, and thin and wide. The township and pavilion are like this. They are all made by Qin Dynasty."

"There are ranks, the county office, the ranks of a hundred stones, the hand of a villager; the small township, the county house husband and a husband. The master knows the good and evil of the people, the order of service, the rich and the poor, the number of gifts, and the equal Poor products. Three elders are in charge of education. All those who have filial sons and grandchildren, virgins and righteous wives, let the wealth help the suffering, and the scholars in the civil law style, all show their doors and act for prosperity. Pirates. There are also villagers, who belong to the villages, and the people collect taxes." "Ran" means "a husband with order", and is responsible for hearing litigation and collecting taxes. Afterwards, probably because of the more arduous tasks, the post of "Xiangzu" was added to assist the husband in collecting taxes. Therefore, the three elders should be: three elders, good husbands, and wanderers.

Among the three elders, the husband, the wandering husband, and the village elders are all paid salaries, but the three elders are "unranked", that is, they have no salaries, so why? According to the laws of this dynasty, a person with rank belongs to an official, and a person without rank is a citizen, and the three elders are citizens, not officials. Why are the three elders not officials? At the beginning of the establishment of the Three-Lao Politics, Gotti valued the identity of the Three-Lao as a private person, so he could speak freely. In fact, the civil society of this dynasty is dually managed, with the three old men representing the folks, and the husband, the wandering mistress, and the Xiangzuo representing the government. It was only because the politics of Huang Lao in the early days of the country made the prestige and civil status of the three elders very strong, so it was called the politics of the three elders.

Dual management will generate new contradictions and conflicts. The husband, the wanderer, and the village clerk are paid and represent the government, and they must take their own future into consideration. Under the threat of heroes and families in the rampant township, most of them will adopt a cooperative attitude. The three elders are not the case. They originally represented the people. Once they lose their foundation, they will become the laughing stock of passers-by. Gao Di was born in the folk, he knew this very well, so he treated the three elders with courtesy and always listened to their voices.

The emperors after Gotti obeyed the ancestral instructions and gave gifts to the three elders, which made the three elders much higher in status and prestige than the husband, the wanderer, and the village elder. As a result, the rural politics of the dynasty became as stable as Mount Tai. Take the cornerstone of existence. Regardless of whether the Emperor Gao put down the rebellion of kings of different surnames, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, or Emperor Wu's northern conquest of the Xiongnu, all he relied on was the stability of the folk village society.

In the politics of the three elders, the position of the pavilion chief is extremely important. After the first emperor unified the six countries, he set up pavilions all over the country. Shi You’s "Jijiu Pian" once said: “Fighting changes to kill and arrest neighbors, and the pavilion chief has a miscellaneous diagnosis.” The pavilion chief is responsible for arresting thieves. In this dynasty, the meaning of "thief" is very broad, and it is simple to explain. People who are considered by the government as "violating the law and banning". "Han Guan Yi" contains: "The pavilion chief is patrolling. The lieutenant, you, and the pavilion are all equipped with five soldiers... the pavilion holds a two-foot board to discourage the thief, and ropes to collect the thief."

The pavilion chief of this dynasty has a wide range of functions. It is the responsibility of the pavilion chief to pass documents to and from, receive officials at all levels, and send off corvee taxes. In a sense, the pavilion is another system independent of the politics of the three elders. After the three elders have finished their money and food, and the good husband arrested the thief, there would be nothing for them. The money, food and thieves were handed over to the head of the pavilion, and the mission was completed.

"The politics of the three elders at the beginning of the country, when the time came to Heng Ling, Tai Ban had already collapsed. Big and powerful, aristocratic families and large clans crossed the prefectures and counties, ran across the countryside, and acted arbitrarily. When Dasima was in charge of the administration and Liangzhou, the countryside The politics of the three elders has long since disappeared. There is a saying that goes well: the time of great chaos is the time of great governance. Therefore, Da Sima re-established the politics of the three elders, and it has been more than two years now. The next taxation new policy was implemented by Da Sima personally interviewing the three elders, and then resolutely implemented it after the trial."

In the residence of Situ Wang Yun, in a quiet room, Situ Wang Yun, Chen Qun in Luoyang County, and more than a dozen family heads in Luoyang City are listening to Da Sinong Zhao Qi and Shao Fu Xun You talking about And talk. The faces of Zhao Qi and Xun You were shining with ruddy light, their expressions were serious, they sat upright, and were always ready to deal with the arguments of these Patriarchs. They had already made up their minds.

According to the laws of the dynasty and the official system of the court, Shaofu and Da Sinong were the second of the nine qings, and their immediate superiors were Sikong Zhongfu. Even so, it was only in name. After Guangwu Zhongxing, the prime minister of Shangshutai was established in government affairs, and Sangong became a vacant post. At the time of the first emperor, the Sangong was sold at the Xiyuan Market at a clearly marked price. The Sangong ignored political affairs for a long time, and was only a respected official.

After Da Sima entered Luoyang, the Emperor Xiaohuai Liu Xi and the Empress Dowager Tang, who supervised the country, were both young and could not pro-cut the great government. Da Sima could only supervise the country on his behalf. Da Sima measured grandeur, and was very generous to the general former officials such as Wang Situ, Chong Sikong, Huangfu Taiwei, and often solicited their opinions. As a result, San Gongjun became a real position again, just regardless of the big things and the small things.

Sikong Zhongfu has long been old, and he has been jealous of evil throughout his life, and has always been a model for Qingliu. According to his thinking, this new taxation policy is a great good governance, which is extremely beneficial to the ordinary people. However, once the treatment is damaged, it is good for the common people, and it will naturally be bad for the noble families. The species has been floating in the ocean for many years, and has been accustomed to watching strong winds and waves, and has long been thinking about watching the excitement.

When Wang Situ asked him to summon the great Sinong Zhao Qi and the young man Xun You for questioning, Chong Sikong naturally declined. Not only did he decline, he gently unloaded the burden on Wang Situ. "The old man is old, just ask Wang Situ to do it for him!" Wang Situ summoned the two, his original intention was to give an explanation to the family. Wang Situ was born in the royal family of Taiyuan, his **** decided his head, so naturally his **** should be on the side of the family. Aristocratic families are the foundation of this dynasty, not the ordinary people.

Zhao Qi finally finished speaking. He is a big farmer and is in charge of the state finances. Compared with the Shaofu Xunyou, he naturally has more sewage. Like Ma Rixi, Zhao Qi belonged to a straight minister who was upright and upright, and had the style of an ancient minister. Even if Da Sima made a mistake, he would bludgeon it face-to-face, not thinking about official positions, not thinking about family, but just for the common people.

Patriarchs of dozens of aristocratic families have long been impatient to hear, they are eager to scratch their heads, but they are afraid of Zhao Qi's reputation, for fear that he will pick up the fluorene board and hit it directly. A clean old man looked at Wang Situ's face and coughed slightly before speaking slowly. "Dare to ask Da Si Nong, this new taxation policy will damage the annual income of the family family, what measures can the court have to remedy? Since Emperor Guangwu, it has always belonged to the Uli family family. When the family family is over, the court will not What are the good results."
