Spring and Autumn I Am King

Deng Xi, like Deng Fei, a servant from Qin, originally belonged to the Deng family.

Deng Xi's status in Zheng country is not high, but his reputation is extremely loud. Zhao Wuxi occasionally heard about it when he was in Xinjiang. After arriving in Song country, the sources of information were wide, and his ears would be surrounded by various deeds of this person from time to time. .

In that year, Zichan cast punishment books, which created a precedent for the feudal lords to write laws, and Zheng Guo also became one of the origins of later generations of legalists. Zichan's approach is already the first of its kind, and has been strongly criticized by Uncle Xiang, a doctor in the state of Jin. However, Deng Xi is more radical than Zichan!

Zhao Wuxi heard that Deng Xi wanted to reform the old system, and was very dissatisfied with some of the policies implemented by Zichan. Zichan is very tolerant of public opinion. He once "did not destroy the village school", so he did not use his power to silence the opposition Deng Xi forever.

After Zichan passed away, Uncle Zi was in power and continued to implement the policy of Zichan. Deng Xi was still very critical of the punishment books cast by Zichan, so he compiled a new set of written laws and engraved them on bamboo slips, known as "Bamboo Slips". punishment”, which is said to be better and more comprehensive than the childbirth punishment book.

Of course, there are also many negative comments about Deng Xi, and the old and simple people of Song country don't like Deng Xi's "talking about two things and setting up infinite words" and regard it as sophistry.

"I seem to have heard of Deng Xi's name in later generations. Judging from the current news, he can be called a legalist or a famous..."

Zhao Wuxi had the idea of ​​establishing a legal system in Zhen and Linqiu in Pubei, but he was extremely lacking in talents in this area, so he was very concerned about Deng Xi. But I heard that he is very popular in Xinzheng recently. I don't know if he can be attracted by the position of the division of Liangyi in this district...

Now that Uncle Zheng Guozi is dead, and Si Yi, one of the seven Mus, is in power, Deng Xi is also more and more happy.

He recently gave lectures at a gathering of people in Xinzheng, teaching people legal knowledge and litigation methods, and became a "lawyer" to help others litigate. The prison asked for a shirt as a reward. Small prison will need a skirt. Zheng's national style is open, and merchants are all over the streets, so there are many disputes.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi could only send someone to Xinzheng to inquire about the news. I got on the line with Deng Xi and tried to get a few volumes of "Bamboo Punishment" to watch and observe, but I couldn't lure him here immediately.

"What's more, Deng Xi once publicly declared that the former king of lawlessness did not act on propriety and righteousness. It is completely contrary to the foundation of Confucianism. If he came to Luxibia, the former king of law and Confucius, who valued etiquette, would definitely be extremely angry. My subordinates, Zigong, Ziyou, The three of Zihua will have concerns if they are not sure, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run..."

Zhao Wuxi did not have the great selfless idea that "the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty". The "law" he wants must serve the will of his ruler, at least for a few decades. If there is a rebellious thorn head and the people are shouting, he can only learn from Zichan as much as possible, and he can't bear to kill him.

...

In addition to the four positions of Yizai, Sima, Judges, and Elders, who each held the positions of official offices and assistant officials, Zhao Wuxi also adjusted measures according to local conditions. City gate officials, planners, warehouse officials, stable officials, farmers, medical officials, workers, city officials, etc. were set up, and their salaries ranged from fighting food to a hundred stones.

The mathematicians of Jiqiao applied what they had learned and worked as planners and warehouse officials. Xiaogongshuban's father, Gongshuike, was a laborer and ruled over the newly arrived craftsmen in the state of Lu, while Bian Que's apprentice, Leopard, was a medical officer. They are basically able to perform their duties and use their own strengths.

Many of Zhen's children who were taken away by Zhao Wuxi before were appointed, but they were basically concentrated in Linqiu. The children of the Linqiu clan were arranged to take office in Zhenyi. This way of serving in different places also made it difficult for the local clan to collude with the city officials.

The hundreds of Zhao family members and children left by Zhao Yang were also taken out by him and scattered in various duties as supervisors.

The framework for the New Deal has been set up, but this team can only be regarded as barely making it.

"Nowadays Zhen and Linqiu. It is a long way to go to combine officials of Wei, Qi, Jin and Lu with accents into a tight group. Let alone a year or two, it would take decades. Only then can their boundaries be erased! This is the case with a mere 30,000 people in two cities. Not to mention the land and population of Kyushu, which is a thousand times larger, so it can be seen how difficult it is in the world!"

Thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising why the Qin Dynasty fell apart more than ten years after its reunification.

Although it is difficult, it can only be done with gritted teeth. Who made Zhao Wuxi work so hard to get such an unbeatable starting place?

Creating the law and seeking Deng analysis are not the most important things at present. It can be operated slowly. The most important thing Zhao Wuxie has at hand is the item "from the fief to the township of Shiwu".

In fact, the early Western Zhou Dynasty was relatively centralized. The Liuxiang Liusui grass-roots system of Zhou Wangji was divided into "bi", "lu", "tribe", "party", "state" and "xiang". ", "two", "pawn", "brigade", "division" and "army" correspond one by one. The administrative organization of village residents and the military establishment of the army correspond to each other and are unified with each other. This is the ancient system of the integration of soldiers and peasants.

Wang Ji in the Western Zhou Dynasty was gradually divided, and the township and the well-field system collapsed together. In the later period, after the division of the southern kingdom was exhausted, it was only possible to rely on Wang Ji's lord to recruit private soldiers to defend against the invasion of the Quanrong. replace.

The fiefs of ministers at all levels are called fiefs. There are ten thousand households, one thousand households, one hundred households and ten rooms. They are all natural settlements. All these are scattered all over the Central Plains and belong to different fiefdoms or clans.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although Zhen and Linqiu implemented the two basic-level systems of Wei and Qi, they were generally a continuation of this fief system.

In this way, the administration will be scattered and inefficient. The meat eaters can rule and station in the big towns, but the control of other small towns can only rely on the cooperation of the clans in the towns.

If this problem is not solved, it will be impossible to make efficient use of the people's strength and resources in a region, and in times of war, it will have to face the situation of wrangling with local forces and making compromises with each other.

After the burning of securities in Yihe and the autumn harvest, Zhao Wuxi has now established absolute prestige in Zhen and Linqiu. The new duties of the two places are confirmed, and the new policy can be rolled out from top to bottom. In the small towns, the new grass-roots system has also begun to be implemented.

"We gather together in small towns, and gather them as pavilions and li, and in the middle of the li, there are shi and wu!"

Under the two towns of Zhen and Linqiu, Zhao Wuxi set up a pavilion and a li. The pavilion controls the road security. There is a pavilion chief who is personally appointed by Zhao Wuqi. To accept the kiosk's questioning.

The li is the basic unit, with about 100 households under its jurisdiction. There are lizheng who are concurrently held by the elders of various clans or elders, and there are "litians" that focus on farming. Residents regard five families as "Wu" and ten families as "Sh", and regard Shi and Wu as grassroots administrative units and combat units when they are recruited. The people in the regulations, regardless of the country, the wild, the noble, the concubine, are recorded in the household register according to their name, age, place of origin, identity, appearance, and wealth, and they are called "organized households Qimin".

Preliminary work such as "Liu Min" has been completed in the past two months under the auspices of Zhang Mengtan. Although this census method has been criticized since King Xuan of Zhou, it is now a common thing among princes. Also no wonder. If you want to understand the power of a state or city, you must know the geometry of the household registration and the number of acres of land.

"Li" in the non-sympathetic plan is a space for people to gather, the management of household registration and the organization of households are its core, and Lizheng and Shiwu are the grassroots units of governance.

"Ting" is the unit through which Zhao Wuxi's regime can penetrate to the grassroots level.

This one line has completely turned the grassroots of Zhen and Linqiu into a "net", a big net that Zhao Wuxi can capture the power of the two cities!

This is what he called "from the fief to the township of Shiwu"!

To put it bluntly, it is not only an imitation of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even the relatively centralized princes Qi and Chu, the integration of soldiers and farmers, and the integration of government and military.

Guan Zhong's reforms more than a hundred years ago, Li Kui's reforms in Wei Guo a few decades later, and Shang Yang's reforms in later generations are all like this. Sprinkle the centralization of power to the villages and villages, and try our best to increase the mobilization of the grassroots, so that the country can be prosperous and the army can be strong, and it will be able to come out on top.

...

When these slips were written and ready to be edited and sent to the pavilions, the young Gong Xichi asked worriedly: "The doctor has changed the system with such a big fanfare that he is not afraid of dissatisfaction and opposition from the clans in the towns. ?"

Zhao Wuxi smiled and asked, "Against?"

"Who dares to object!"

He looked at Cheng Tuan beside him and asked him to answer Gong Xichi's question.

Cheng Tuan's father, Cheng Wu, was gradually dying and could not travel far, so he stayed in Chengxiang this time. Zhao Wuxi didn't bother to pay attention to whether it was true or not. After all, Chengxiang was still a food town under his name within the Zhao family, so he let Chengwu, Dou Pengzu and others continue to operate. There should be no problem with the wealthy people in the township.

However, Cheng Tuan was a little apprehensive, and he was even more respectful to Zhao Wuxi.

However, Zhao Wuxi granted him the position of Linqiu fake judge~www.wuxiahere.com~, but it made Cheng Tuan feel a little at ease, so he analyzed: "The Zhen family is the head of all the clans in the whole city, and now she is serving in the city. If you are obedient, how can other small clans dare to take the lead? Before you feel dissatisfied, you have to think about the military pawns who train endlessly every day, as well as the spears like Lin. As for the Linqiuqi people, they were completely beaten in the battle of Zhen. Now, those who were strong in the past are now docile people."

"What's more, in the newly established lizhong, the lizheng is usually held by the local old clan patriarch and old man. The original power is not less, but it is more directly under the jurisdiction of the local officials. There is no reason to be embarrassed by the doctor."

After listening to Cheng Tuan's analysis, the young Gong Xichi's three views were greatly impacted.

PS: Although the rumor of "Zichan killed Deng Xi" is relatively popular, but you can know from Zuo Zhuan that Deng Xi was still alive and kicking until this year. (To be continued.)
