The storm of the Chaozhou Festival night banquet spread quickly and caused a lot of sensation, but this was not an end, it was just a beginning. After the Chaozhou Festival, the Jinyang Palace issued five imperial edicts in a row, which caused a sensation in the world:

First, the emperor was in charge of the heavens and ordered the emperor to say, "After the court banquet, the kings petitioned, asking me to graciously take back the fiefdom and govern the power and promote the world. I have agreed and ordered the Kaifu Yi Tongshen and the three departments and royal family kings to hand over the power of governing the land, and the imperial court appointed officials to govern the land, and the local troops and horses were transferred to the defense, and all the documents of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were heard. Those who violated the law will be deemed to be considered as a conspirator."

Gao Wei has been planning this for a long time and is the first step to dealing with the royal family and the nobles at the top.

Second, Emperor Chengyun, the emperor of the Heavenly Reign, said: "Our dynasty has been followed by the previous dynasty. To this day, it has been decayed and cannot bear the importance of the country and the country. I want to streamline the institutions and lay off redundant officials. Therefore, from today on, the Shangshu Affairs Office will be abolished, the central part of the hall will be abolished, the Ministry of Works will be added, the Ministry of Revenue will be changed to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice will be changed to the Ministry of Justice, the Five Ministry of War will be called the Ministry of War, and the Provincial Department will be assigned to the left and right prime ministers. Originally, the Left Prime Minister will be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the examination will be held, the main title, the Hall, Yi Cao, the Three Dukes, the Temple Department, the Master Guest, the Left

The right central army, the left and right external soldiers, the capital officer, two thousand stones, the Du Branch, and the 17th households in the left and right households, and the other party affairs were in charge of Taichung. Those who violated the violations were also in charge of the army. The right chief was in charge of the stewardship department, Yu Cao, the military farm, the starting department, the capital army, the Bi Department, the Water Department, the Food Department, the Warehouse Department, the Jin Department, and the 11th Cao Cao. They also govern Taichung, but they are not responsible for impeachment. From today on, the six parts are in charge of the total of twenty-eight Caos under the name of the left and right ministers, the left prime minister is in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, the Right Prime Minister is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate...."

The power departments of the Shangshu were abolished and the power departments of the 28 cadres who fought with each other were collected into six ministries. The left and right ministers were in charge of the six ministries, but no longer had the power to impeach officials. The Dali Temple, which had the power to report, picket, and impeach, was divided into the Censorate and was responsible to the emperor alone.

Not only these departments, Gao Wei needs an efficient administrative unit, with the cabinet responsible for discussion and decision-making, and the six ministries responsible for implementation, which will undoubtedly make the efficiency much higher and further weaken the power of the ministerial power. In this way, the role of the Secretariat and the Secretariat will be infinitely close to zero, and these two departments are also abolished. At the same time, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat are also being cleaned up.

In addition, there are some relatively small departments: Shang Food Bureau, General Administration of Yuchen and Shang Pharmacy Bureau, General Administration of Imperial Medicine Affairs Bureau, General Administration of Imperial Medicine Affairs Bureau, General Administration of Imperial Medicine Affairs Bureau, responsible for laying and cleaning the Dushuitai, Zhujinqiao Journey Platform, in charge of all good and bad affairs, in charge of the court affairs of Weiwei Temple, in charge of the imperial guards and armored soldiers, in charge of the imperial guards and soldiers, in charge of the imperial guards and soldiers, in charge of the imperial guards and soldiers, in charge of the Dali Temple, in charge of the judicial and criminal chariots, in charge of the Dali Temple, in charge of the judicial and criminal chariots, in charge of the imperial guards and chariots, in charge of the palace construction of Zhaoxuan Temple, in charge of Buddhist matters.

These departments will undergo rectification in the near future.

Third, the emperor issued an edict to approve the Left Prime Minister and the Great Governor of the West, Huluguang, to report to the city, and ordered the Left Prime Minister to allocate civilian soldiers on the spot and build military towns in Fenzhou. In addition, generals and officials at all levels of Jinzhou Road followed Jinyang's dispatch, corrected roads and bridges, and redefined maps. Hebei, Shandong, and Bingzhou's food and grass stockpiled, allocated half of them to fill Bingzhou, Jinzhou, Luoyang, and frontier soldiers were mobilized, and followed the official documents of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.

Gao Wei built a storm on Jinzhou Road and a large number of military towns and defensive fortifications in Fenzhou, which was to prepare for the battle to destroy Zhou. Now it seems that Yuwen Yong's rise against the trend is unstoppable. Although he is willing to fight Yuwen Yong head-on, he will not act irritably after all. He really waited for Yuwen Yong to make the Northern Zhou national strength increase before coming to the west to fight. Now he must prepare for the war and build a storm in order to increase the number of troops and transport food and grass more quickly. Once the border is in a hurry, Jinyang can quickly dispatch troops to Fenzhou, Luoyang, and Heyin.

Everyone in the world knows that Wei Xiaokuan is good at defending, but he doesn't know that Wei Xiaokuan is still good at attacking. The reason why he was trapped in Yubi is because his opponent is Huluguang. Although Northern Qi still has the upper hand over the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Zhou can send troops to the east at any time, and Huluguang has to wait to break through Yubi. Therefore, after Gao Wei communicated with the ministers of the Privy Council, he still felt that it was more important to build more military towns and defensive fortifications. However, Gao Wei rejected Huluguang's suggestion to build a "Qi Great Wall" and ordered Huluguang to build a military fortress based on dangerous places for defense, station troops, attack and retreat, which is in line with the strategic purpose of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Fourth, the emperor issued an edict to remove craftsmen from slavery from slavery and change them to civilians.

If Gao Wei wants to promote trade between the north and the south, he must make the handicrafts in the Northern Qi Dynasty prosperous. The development of handicrafts is inseparable from skilled craftsmen.

During this period, the handicraft market was firmly held by the court. During the Western Jin Dynasty, two departments that manage handicrafts were established, "Shaofu" and "Weiwei" were established, which controlled most of the domestic handicrafts and skilled craftsmen. They firmly grasped the transactions in the hands of the court, including mining and smelting, weapons casting, gold and silver equipment, textiles, printing and dyeing, etc. This management model was even implemented in the local area, and there were also such handicraft management departments in prefectures and counties. The existence of this department facilitated the government's profits, but caused the lower-level craftsmen and craftsmen to suffer.

Most of the craftsmen under this system have complex identities and difficulties, or have been demoted as craftsmen due to crimes, or have been passed down from generation to generation. Some of them are temporarily recruited. Regardless of the reason, their identities are at the bottom, even worse than ordinary refugees.

They were under the strict control of the court, and their personal safety, freedom of marriage, and personal property could not be guaranteed. The shackles imposed on them were particularly heavy and were despised as "miscellaneous households" and "cultural slaves under the tent".

Although in the later period, the Southern and Northern Dynasties implemented the system of "taken service" and gave craftsmen a certain amount of autonomy and allowed them to work for themselves, which to a certain extent strengthened the labor enthusiasm of craftsmen and promoted the development and prosperity of handicrafts, many of the craftsmen did not control the government, but the wealthy families of aristocratic families.

The policy issued is very important and will become a decisive policy for the future of Northern Qi. Gao Wei's move has three purposes:

First, to promote the development of handicrafts, which has been mentioned earlier. In today's capital and industrial revolutions are far from coming, handicraft trade is an important component of the national economy. After Gao Wei restores the freedom of craftsmen, he can issue many preferential policies to encourage handicrafts, and at the same time recommend the "hired craftsmen" system. The craftsmen not only get personal liberation, but also enjoy policy bias. From then on, the court invites craftsmen to work in the form of employment, which will no longer affect the lives of craftsmen like ordinary people, and the development of private trade will be more active.

Secondly, Gaowei's original intention of starting a trade was to increase exchanges between the north and the south, increase fiscal revenue, and regulate the country's economy from a macro perspective. However, there are two points that Gaowei did not say, which can increase the central government's control and weaken the Wubao power of the aristocratic families.

Since ancient times, national stability has been closely related to national economy. When the people are full and wear warm clothes, they will not think about rebellion. But on the other hand, if wealth is in the hands of a few privileged classes, and the country's finances are unsustainable, it will not be able to ensure the stability of the country. In the time of national turmoil, the government has to overcome difficulties by exploiting the people. Once the exploitation is over, the people will have no way to survive, and it is time to change dynasties. This is an unsolvable cycle...

Nowadays, the wealthy families and nobles are strong. Although the hard power of the aristocratic families is not as strong as that of the nobles, their soft power is far beyond that of the powerful families. The strong position of the aristocratic families must be the rise of the economic growth of the aristocratic families. The private soldiers and farmers of Wubao, and the craftsmen were overwhelmed to join us. This made the power of Wubao continue to grow... The main body of the national economy is them, and the rulers cannot do without their support, which forced the emperor to favor the aristocratic families in terms of political tendencies...

The rise of aristocratic families will inevitably lead to land annexation and the collapse of the government military system. The country has to use cruel officials and recruitment systems to maintain stability.

As the economy of aristocratic families rises, the national finances will inevitably shrink further, becoming weaker, and relying more on aristocratic families until they perish.

To reduce the power of the noble families, we must start from two aspects.

On the one hand, start from a political perspective, open a vocational school to recruit scholars, support poor families to become officials, and dilute the power in the hands of aristocratic families. On the other hand, start from an economic perspective, not allow the state's finances to be dependent on the aristocratic families, but allow the aristocratic families to be dependent on the national finance. Over time, the country will naturally achieve the purpose of weakening and controlling the aristocratic families. At this time, Gao Wei's policy became particularly important.

In summary, we have returned to the reason why Gao Wei urgently wants to centralize the local government.

Gao Wei not only needs to control the country politically, but also needs to control the economy through the economy and take a two-pronged approach to achieve benefits. Since the Han Dynasty, the central government has been unable to directly control the counties and counties below. The power of the local county magistrates is unimaginable. All local military affairs, finance, and justice must be followed by local commanders. Local commanders are naturally more willing to associate with the aristocratic families entrenched in the local area. With the support of power, local trustees will naturally become bigger.

The entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, could be called "arist society". The court could not do without them and was inevitably undermined.

In order to get rid of this fateful cycle, Gao Wei was determined for so long that the time finally came!

Gao Wei’s fifth edict: On the second day of the second month, all three border cities will be opened!

On the second day of the first lunar month of the second year of Wuping, the year of Xinmao, the world is very happy.
Chapter completed!
