Chapter 632(1/2)
Lu Chuan turned back to the mansion after seeing them walking away.
This is no longer the National Master's Mansion. Not long ago, Lu Chuan also handed him a resignation as Shen Gongbao said, helping him resign from his position as National Master.
This national teacher is just an honorary title and has no real power, but if he can gain the trust of the king, he can still affect the decision-making of major events.
After that, Wu Geng decided to turn the National Master's Mansion into the Ya Prime Minister's Mansion and give it to him, but Lu Chuan refused.
The construction scale of this National Master Mansion is so grand that it is comparable to Wen Zhong's Grand Master Mansion, Bigan's Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Huang family's Wucheng Mansion, which is one of Chaoge's largest mansions.
As soon as Shen Gongbao resigned, Lu Chuan lived in such a luxury house, and he personally felt that it was too high-profile, which was not in line with his usual low-key personality and style.
Secondly, Lu Liang has to walk for a long time on the road every day. When the house is bigger, the distance between him and his family is even greater.
This was not what Lu Chuan wanted, so at his request, Wu Geng built an ordinary mansion for him to go east of the city.
Now that he has a home, he will no longer have to be empty, lonely and cold in Qishi Mansion.
In this way, the prefecture and county system was in full swing within the Shang Dynasty.
Three months later, although the Shang Dynasty retained the title of marquis, the later princes had no fiefs.
Except for the few who were Su Quanzhong of Jizhou and Chong Heihu of Beichong, the original princes were demoted to the prefect of a county or small officials like the county magistrate.
The world was completely divided into thirty-six prefectures, one prefecture governed by eight counties, and one county governed more than ten counties. There are townships, pavilions, and interiors below the county. In this way, it finally reaches the households.
At the Ya Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Chuan and Wen Zhong were drinking together.
Wen Zhong raised his glass and smiled, "It took three months to finally complete this step. Those princes lost their fiefdoms and power, and they were afraid they would hate their junior brother to death."
"If you hate it, hate it, I won't lose a piece of meat."
Lu Chuan smiled and waved his hand and didn't care. He laughed at himself, raised his glass and drank it all over and said, "It's a mediocre person not to be jealous, right, senior brother?"
Although the Jie Sect has disbanded, the two of them are still used to this title and have not changed.
"Yes!" Wen Zhong pulled his mouth gently and suddenly sighed: "By the way, I think your Taoism has been diligent again, and I have already achieved the Taoism. Haha, you can have this state of Taoism for more than 20 years. If I had never believed it before."
Lu Chuan curled his lips and said, "That's something you've never seen before."
A few years later, a monkey was born and studied Taoism in the school of Bodhi Patriarch for ten years. In seven years, he worked chores and became an immortal in three years.
His pleasure is because he has gained many opportunities in this great catastrophe, and the great catastrophe is also entangled with opportunities. For example, one of Kong Xuan's purpose of going down the mountain is to seek opportunities to break through the ancestral realm.
But that monkey is different. It’s three years. Such a cultivation speed is simply terrifying and unprecedented.
Except for that monkey, Lu Chuan never heard of anyone else with this speed.
Even a demigod like Yang Jian spent time practicing with him.
There are also innate great gods like Sanqing, Nuwa, great masters, or Bai Wei, and the four spirits of the sky and the earth that are nurtured by gods like the four spirits of heaven and earth.
"What, there is a faster one?" Wen Zhong said in surprise.
Lu Chuan smiled faintly and didn't want to talk about this matter. He stared at Jiuzun and said, "Who knows, now that the princes have solved it, it's time to change it to those powerful people next."
"Aristocrat?" Wen Zhong was uneasy: "You still want to touch them?"
"They are not me, why can't they move?"
Lu Chuan grinned: "I have heard a saying that if you don't have a diamond, don't take on porcelain work. Senior brother, now there are many more official positions, but these are all senior officials. Do you really think those children of aristocrats are really suitable?"
Wen Zhong was slightly silent.
As the Grand Tutor, he naturally knew the situation of the Shang Dynasty. Although only the nobles had the opportunity to read and write and enjoy education, there were still many idiots.
It would be fine if these people had idle positions, but if they were to become county magistrates and county magistrates, it would be a disaster for the people in that place.
"What do you want to do?" Wen Zhong asked.
For this junior brother, he has long recognized that he has the talent of heaven and man. His ideas are as wild as he can't keep up. Sometimes he can't keep up with it for a long time, but as long as he does it, it won't be a bad thing.
Lu Chuan's eyes flashed: "It's very simple, reform, our time on earth is limited, and we must speed up.
My king and I once made an agreement to build a world he ideally did. No, I will build a better one than he thought.”
"Change..." Wen Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly: "Where is your plan?"
"Okay, senior brother, everyone knows that I have done this."
Lu Chuan smiled and took out the bamboo slips from his sleeves and handed them to Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong opened it and looked carefully: "1. Abolish the officials of the world to govern the country; 2. Reward farming to enrich the country; 2. Reward military merits to strengthen the country; 4. Change customs and customs to correct the people..."
"Fifth, abolish slavery, state-owned land ownership, implement private land ownership, state recognizes private land ownership, and allows free trading; compile household registration, five companies are in the company, and ten companies are in the company, so they need to register their household registration and start collecting military taxes based on households and population..."
Lu Chuan just smiled, yes, this was the later Shang Yang reform.
This is also the new system that is most in line with the national conditions of the recession after the war in the Shang Dynasty. It can take advantage of this chaos to not be broken or established, completely abolish the old system, rebuild the new business, develop the combat effectiveness of the economy and the army, and allow the Shang Dynasty to develop the fastest development.
Unfortunately, Shang Yang's final outcome was not very good because he touched the interests of the nobles, but Mr. Lu was not Shang Yang.
Seeing the end, Wen Zhong looked at Lu Chuan in shock.
These systems are like brand new bones. This junior brother really wants to reshape the Shang Dynasty!
Wen Zhong said: "Junior brother, the benefits that will be touched by your actions are too great. I am afraid that all the nobles in this court will offend all the kings. And the king is young, so he may not understand what you do..."
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, and Wen Zhong's words were reasonable.
At the beginning, it was Qin Xiaogong who supported Shang Yang's reforms, but after Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Yang lost his support. After Qin Xiaogong's son ascended the throne, he killed Shang Yang.
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "What if I don't care, I will only do what I should do now. As for right and wrong, merit and demerit, I will leave time to comment with future generations."
Time and future generations prove that Shang Yang's direction is right, so Mr. Lu must not be wrong either.
Wen Zhong could only smile bitterly. This junior brother never fought a battle that was inconsistent. Even if he had written the plan, it meant that he had to do it.
"I remember that I had a ten-year agreement with someone. I had to finish this before going to meet the appointment." Lu Chuan said softly.
That time, under the East China Sea, he encountered the body of a prince of the ancient heavenly court. He made an appointment with his remnant soul and wanted to find a inheritor to go to the Jinwu Zudi Tanggu, and the other party gave him the sun wings.
The key is that he made an oath. It has been almost eight or nine years now. If he doesn't want to think his poisonous oath will be fulfilled.
Wen Zhong said to Lu Chuan: "Then you have to be prepared. Fortunately, your prefecture and county system has not touched the interests of the nobles, but if you want to reform, the first opponent is not someone else, but..."
"Old Prime Minister Bigan?"
Lu Chuan's eyes flashed: "He is indeed a problem, but don't forget that he is Wenquxing. I don't believe he can't see through what I said."
Needless to say, Bi Gan's identity is, the royal family, and the uncle of Emperor Xin and Wu Geng's uncle. He was smart at a young age, diligent and studious, loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
Previously, when he was in politics, he advocated reducing taxes and labor service, encouraging the development of agricultural and animal husbandry production, advocating smelting and casting, enriching the country and strengthening the army, and developing the Shang Dynasty after the Nine-generation rebellion.
It was precisely because Emperor Xin obeyed him that the Shang Dynasty allowed the Shang Dynasty to recuperate within more than ten years and accumulated strength to fight the princes.
From this point of view, his proposal basically coincides with Lu Chuan.
However, this time Lu Chuan also had the aborted officials, slavery, and aristocratic land that touched the interests of the nobles. However, Bigan has now been named a god and has a seven-pointed and delicate heart that is beyond the reach of people.
Lu Chuan believed that this old man was still very clear-headed and knew what he was doing.
"It's okay, tomorrow I'll be at a loss for junior brother, I'll have a fight with them."
Lu Chuan laughed and said, "Isn't it just a verbal battle? I can't say that my master is fine, are you still afraid that they won't succeed?"
The next day, Lu Chuan was ranked third in the civil service, among the civil servants.
"King, the old minister has a report!" Wen Zhong spoke.
Wu Geng said: "Please speak with the Grand Master!"
After being the queen of three months, Wu Geng became more and more like a monarch.
Wen Zhong said: "After the rebellion of the princes, our Shang people experienced the suffering of war and everything was in trouble. They urgently needed the method of enriching the country and strengthening the army. I would like to ask the king to discuss a good strategy with all the masters."
Wu Geng's expression was slightly condensed and he nodded: "The Grand Master's words are reasonable. What are your opinions? You might as well discuss a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army."
Bigan Road: "The king, the old minister thinks that after this war, taxes and labor service should be reduced, and agriculture and animal husbandry should be encouraged..."
He brought out his previous proposal.
In fact, if Bigan’s claim is adopted, it will really apply.
"But it is still not as comprehensive as the old businessman!" Lu Chuan thought to himself.
But if he moved out now, how could Shang Yang be in the future? Wait, will Shang Yang still be there?
"What the Prime Minister said is reasonable!"
"Master, let's do what Prime Minister Bigan said!"
All the ministers agreed, after all, it has been proven through practice before that this set works.
"The king, I will report it!"
Three months later, Lord Lu finally took out his killer weapon again.
Wu Geng was also ready to announce that he would do what his uncle had done, but Lu Chuan's words attracted the attention of him and everyone: "Master Lu, please speak!"
Lu Chuan took a deep breath: "I think Prime Minister Bi Gan is very right, but my great merchants want to enrich the country and strengthen the soldiers. I want to add a few more things, such as abolishing slavery and the world's official system..."
"hiss!"
When Lu Chuan finished speaking this time, all the civil and military officials took a breath and couldn't help but be stunned.
