1591 The transformation of officials to the people

Because Liu Pei is now nearly forty and is about to ascend to the throne, he is becoming more and more interested in his reputation! He also wants to leave a reputation as the emperor of the ages in history! After all, Kangxi has become a perfect old man in his dynasty that has been passed down by sweet potatoes, and he is also called the emperor of the ages by a group of people. Why can't I?

But he knew that his actions offended those scholars who controlled public opinion, and they probably would not leave any good records for him! Because he pushed Confucianism from the altar, he would dig out the foundation of the big family and cut off the official path of those scholars who were useless! How could these people leave any good comments to him?

At the beginning, Liu Pei thought that this was indifferent, and there would be public opinion hundreds of years later! But one day when he saw the intelligence agency's call and scolding from these scholars, Liu Pei was a little angry!

I wiped out the bandits and stabilized the world; if I repelled the Qing army, the next step was to completely defeat the Qing army, save your lives, and save your hair from being shaved into pig's tails! But you scolded me like this!

So Liu Pei kept thinking that you could praise me under the Qing Dynasty’s butcher knife, so it would be fine if you replaced it with my knife!

Another important reason why Liu Pei planned to implement this policy is that these scholars often control the lowest public opinion trend. Because in the countryside, most farmers donate land to these scholars! At the same time, they are also the source of farmers' understanding of external voices.

Now that Liu Pei does not have the strength to extend his tentacles to every village, he will not be able to grasp the public opinion in the countryside, which is very unfavorable to his rule! If you want to solve this problem, you have to wait until Liu Pei cultivates enough new scholars to go to the countryside to start teaching, so that he will have the strength to compete with these traditional scholars!

But now that these people are not enough, how could they send people to the village? So in the lowest-level rural areas, the window period for public opinion will last for a long time. So how could these scholars who suffered losses missed this opportunity?

They will definitely be four

It would be okay to arrange the story of Liu Pei and slander his reputation. What if they misunderstood the imperial court's decree and instigate the people to oppose the imperial court? To put it simply, their actions would delay the issuance and operation of government decrees.

To put it seriously, these scholars who have lost their interests may be bewitched by others, or they may be bewitched by others and rebellion!

Although Liu Pei is not afraid of such things, extinguishing fires everywhere is also annoying! So Liu Pei decided not to do it and simply forbidden these scholars from slandering himself and the court.

Moreover, Liu Pei had already made plans. Anyone who caught such a person would be sent to the frontier. The three generations must serve farmers and not be allowed to serve as officials! It just so happened that Liu Pei was ready to unify the country and then go out of seclusion to destroy the Qing Dynasty. At that time, both north and south, both north and south will need a large population.

If you like to curse people and slander the court, then go to the frontier to farm and curse while planting! These people just happened to be moved away, and the vacant fields can be handed over to refugees to cultivate, which can alleviate the conflicts of domestic land annexation!

Thinking of this, Liu Pei retracted his thoughts and said slowly: "Younger, do you think I am polite to these scholars, and they will be grateful to me? No! Because I have destroyed the monopoly they have formed over hundreds of years, they will definitely scold me to death! I guess it is light to call me a tyrant! And you also know, how do these people scold me now?"

Liu Jiang remembered the words in the report, and the troops shared the same hatred for the enemy! He said with a red face: "What do they know? The eldest brother has done so many things for the people of the world. They don't appreciate it, and it's fine if they don't thank you. How could he still try so hard to slander the eldest brother?"

Liu Pei sneered and said, "Youngest, you made a mistake! Those who slander me are scholars, local tyrants, children of aristocratic families, officials, but they are not ordinary people!"

Liu Jiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then reacted and said with a wry smile: "Brother, what you said is really right. They are really not ordinary people!"

Liu Pei said: "Although they are not ordinary people, they play double standards very neatly! When protecting their own interests, he

They claim to be the people! But when they exploit and smile, they are shepherds who serve as the emperor's herders, and the people are sheep! That's why they say the word "official" is open!"

Liu Jiang sighed and said, "It's true! They are so skillful in playing with their two-faced techniques, it's really difficult to deal with!"

Liu Pei sneered and said, "What's wrong with it? I want to see if their necks are hard or my knife is fast?"

Liu Jiang said carefully: "Brother, you won't be planning to kill all of them, right? Then you will really have the same evaluation as Qin Shihuang!"

Liu Pei said: "Everyone said that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, so was he really a tyrant? Is it a sin to kill the enemy country? What a joke!"

Liu Jiang whispered: "I have read a lot of books recently. The books say that Qin's laws are harsh and the people can't stand it! He also said that Qin Shihuang also killed many ordinary people after unifying the six kingdoms. Maybe it's because of this?"

Liu Pei smiled and said, "Qin's law is strict? But why are they all human beings? The people of Qin can bear it, but the people of the other six countries can't bear it? How is this possible! And how could ordinary people leave such records? I'm afraid that the nobles of the six countries think that the Qin law is strict? Because no one could control them before, they could do whatever they want and do whatever they want! But after having the Qin law, they felt that they were controlled and could not act arrogantly and do whatever they wanted. Naturally, they would say that the Qin law was strict!"

Liu Jiang blinked and said, "Well, you're right! Those who could read at that time were probably all nobles! Even if they were not nobles, they would not have a low origin!"

Liu Pei said: "That's right! And you don't understand anything? Why did the people in various places still stir up trouble after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms? And no matter how stupid Qin Shihuang was, he knew that it was the people who paid taxes on him. He killed all the people. Who did he give to the emperor?"
