Chapter 1115 The urban management team traveling through time and space!

The Yuan family's human pigging incident made the world's wise people realize the necessity of controlling public opinion. Once public opinion is manipulated, the public opinion of the world can be manipulated, tearing mountains apart, moving mountains and filling seas, and there will be no disadvantage in any direction!

It was precisely because they realized the huge power and serious destructive power of "Zhenguan Weekly" that the Guanlong Group reacted so fiercely. If Fang Jun is not beaten to dust, who can bear it if something like this happens one day?

It is a pity that His Majesty is too determined to protect Fang Jun. Even with the combined efforts of the Guanlong Group and the encouragement of the Jiangnan nobles, Fang Jun's position of marquis was only removed, which was far from the expectations of the Guanlong Group.

At the very least, this kid must be driven away from the position of Jingzhao Yin. Otherwise, if he holds the power of Jingzhao Mansion and serves as a feudal official, the entire Guanlong Group will be like a grasshopper in Fang Jun's hands. The torment of defecation?

It's like a sharp sword hanging above your head and cutting it down at any time. It feels really uncomfortable...

Facts have proved that Guanlong Group's guess was correct. After several indifferent editorials, Zhenguan Weekly once again published a strange editorial.

The word "weird" is used because this editorial is somewhat incomprehensible, but the author is the Prime Minister and Minister Zuopu Shefang Xuanling...

This is interesting.

It's okay for a father to stand up and cheer for his son, but why did he come up with such an editorial in such a hazy way?

Han Ai immediately sent her servant to the street to buy a copy of "Zhenguan Weekly", took away the tea set, spread it on the tea table and read it carefully with Zhang Sunjun.

The title of this editorial is "Although Zhou is an old state, its destiny is renewed"...

This sentence comes from the first sentence of "The Book of Songs·Daya·King Wen": "King Wen is above, and Yu Zhao is in the sky. Although Zhou is an old state, its destiny is renewed."

The general idea is that King Wen of Zhou received the destiny and made it clear to the world that although Zhou was an old state, its mission was to reform.

Is this to advocate institutional reform?

Han Ai was quite puzzled.

When he was young, he was outstanding in conduct, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he was well versed in government affairs. He was promoted to head of the Ministry of War at a young age. This was not just due to the influence of the Han family in Yongzhou, but mostly because he really had outstanding abilities.

In his view, institutional reform is the pain that an imperial dynasty must go through when it reaches a certain period. The reason why every dynasty can rise is because it has a system that is in line with the times. However, no matter how perfect the system is, it will become riddled with drawbacks over time and breed rotten flesh, leading to corrupt officials and bloated institutions. We must be determined to remove the rotten flesh. , updated.

But now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, where is the need for innovation? Hasty reform will not only fail to make further progress, but may even shake the political foundation that is still considered perfect at the moment. It is really not worth the gain.

Fang Xuanling was able to become the chief minister, and his ability to govern was recognized.

You wouldn't be so hasty, would you?

Confused, he looked down.

As I watched, I became more and more confused...

Here Fang Xuanling quoted another famous saying: "If you want to benefit the people, you don't have to follow the ancient times; if you want to do things well, you don't have to follow the old ways..."

This sentence was said by Liu An, King of Huainan in the Han Dynasty. It comes from "Huainanzi·Si Lun Xun". The general idea is that if it can benefit the people, there is no need to follow the ancient rules. If you can do things perfectly, there is no need to follow the old rules. The rules of...

Changsun Jun asked curiously: "Is this a reform?"

Do you really want reform?

Han Yuan was thoughtful.

Since ancient times, reforms have always harmed the interests of a certain group and will be subject to strong resistance. This is inevitable.

If Fang Xuanling really wants to carry out reforms under the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, the first person to oppose is not the Guanlong Group, not the Jiangnan nobles, not the Shandong tycoons, but His Majesty Li Er!

Today, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and His Majesty Li Er is obsessed with pacifying the Western Regions and conquering Goguryeo in the east to become an immortal emperor. How could he allow Fang Xuanling to carry out reforms at this time to shake the political foundation and affect his achievement of becoming an emperor for eternity?

Moreover, Fang Xuanling's governing philosophy has always been relatively moderate, and he will never offend His Majesty the Emperor just for the so-called "famous mark and history"...

What is this going to do?

*****

The whole of Chang'an was made nervous and suspicious by this editorial in "Zhenguan Weekly"...

Is it because the imperial court wants to reform the official system?

There are moths in every dynasty, just a few.

In the Tang Dynasty, where aristocratic families controlled most of the political resources, there naturally weren't too many such moths. Moreover, the aristocratic families are the vested interests of this era, and they naturally hope that the government will be stable.

If they remain unchanged, they will be able to continue to live a comfortable life for hundreds of years, control political resources, and sit at the top of society to look down on all living beings.

If it changes, they will suffer losses...

However, Fang Xuanling's editorial quotes the classics and discusses the past and the present. The whole article is full of brilliant words and subtle meanings, making it impossible for you to refute it.

You can’t say that the entire Book of Songs is nonsense, right?

You can't say Liu An is talking nonsense, right?

Since you can't refute, you have to endure it.

Anyway, no matter what you say, doesn’t it have to be implemented in the end?

Then I will boycott you and impeach you...

All the aristocratic families and court officials paid close attention to the activities of the political hall.

If these people do not want reform or change, then naturally there will be people who support them!

The poor scholars and the landlord class everywhere were furious and excited!

Now the political structure of the Tang Dynasty has been finalized. If it remains unchanged, most of the political resources and social wealth will be monopolized by aristocratic families. Poor families and small landowners will be the targets of oppression, and there will be no chance to stand up!

However, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has become more and more prosperous. Poor families and small landowners have accumulated a large amount of wealth while continuously gaining political status. This has gradually expanded their ambitions, and they are no longer satisfied with being suppressed by the aristocratic family members. Year!

If they want to stand up, rise, and participate in the highest level of the empire, then they can only seek change!

The worst is to maintain the status quo, wouldn't it be better if there is an opportunity?

Under this kind of national attention, half a month later, Jingzhao Mansion finally took action.

Of course, just like that editorial, Jingzhaofu’s actions still leave people confused and unable to get a glimpse of what’s going on...

The laws of the Tang Dynasty were strict. In order to control the market order, not only management agencies such as the Municipal Bureau were established in the East City, but also agencies affiliated with the central center such as Changpingcang and Pingzheng Bureau were set up.

The Equalization Administration is a price agency. Through it, it controls the price leverage of people's livelihood commodities in the market. It constantly regulates the relationship between production, circulation and consumption through national transactions, promotes the development and prosperity of social economy, and plays a role that other agencies cannot. The role of substitution.

The function of Changpingcang is more specific than that of Pingzhengshu. Changpingcang is a grain depot used to adjust grain prices. The empire is backed by abundant reserves of grain and salt in the market, which can be used to stabilize grain prices at any time, thereby further stabilizing market prices and cracking down on unscrupulous merchants who hoard.

Since Chang'an City is entirely under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, the entire east and west cities are under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture's patrol room.

As a result, the patrol house, the leveling department, and Changpingcang became the actual managers of the east and west cities.

In the past few days, a group of people came in and out of several warehouses next to "Han's Jewelry Store", repairing doors and windows from time to time to purchase furniture, which puzzled all nearby merchants.

Is it possible that a store is about to open?

This is a prime location in the entire East Market, and the competition among peers is still fierce. The market is so big, and if one more person comes to grab food, everyone will lose a bite of food. Everyone is thinking that it must not be theirs. It’s better to be with peers...

A few days later, the warehouse was tidied up and looked brand new, and someone hung a sign at the door.

Market Management and Enforcement Agency...

What kind of yamen is this?

The merchants looked at each other, never heard of it!

I don’t know which department belongs to the three provinces and six ministries...

Not long after, someone set off a long firecracker at the door, and the roaring sound shook the entire East Market. All the merchants and porters came to watch the excitement. For a while, the crowds were so crowded that the entire street was filled with water.

The custom of setting off firecrackers when getting married or opening a business, which has just become popular in Chang'an City, is actually used here...

Is this a shop or a government office?

All the onlookers were speechless.

A young official stood in front of the door, posted a notice on the wall next to the door, and said loudly: "The East City Branch of the Urban Management and Law Enforcement Administration under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture has been officially established! From now on, this agency will be committed to the East City Branch." To ensure the prosperity and stability of the city, we will severely crack down on illegal activities such as bullying, price gouging, and disrupting public order, so as to better serve the majority of merchants. In short, if you have any difficulties... contact the urban management! ”

Wang Xuance touched the sweat on his forehead and cursed in his heart, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin, where did you learn these words?

It's really weird...(End of chapter)
