It is undoubtedly true that the incident of King Jin's enthronement will have a lasting and far-reaching impact on the central court of the Han Dynasty and the local forces in various states.

On the surface, the court first encircled Zhao Xing, Bingzhou, and appointed the third prince as the king, and was the defeated side, and the authority of centralization was naturally affected. But in fact, even if Zhao Xing was not encircled and suppressed, even if Liu Rong was not appointed King Jin, how much of the prestige of the court was actually left after the wanton squandering of Emperor Ling of Han and the trampling of the Yellow Turban Army?

The agreement reached by Wang Yun and Zhao Xing did not seem to have benefited much from the court, but it did win a lot of benefits. If other state forces thought that Jin had taken the lead in separatism, they could take it for granted the court and also created a King of Qi, King Zhao, King Shu, King Xiangyang, and King Wu, that would be a big mistake, or even outrageously wrong.

Who dares to learn from Zhao Xing and get a child to be the king and separatist? The prerequisite is to have the strength of Jin State, which not only refers to military, but also includes comprehensive strength. Without the hard bones that can handle all directions, it is better to wash and go to bed as soon as possible.

Although the three central army of the court failed to get sand in Bingzhou and suffered some losses, its vitality was still there. More importantly, Zhao Xing took the initiative to propose to help the court fulfill his obligations, and the subtext was that he could fight east and west under the name of the court's righteousness. As long as Bingzhou felt that there was a benefit, the court would seek reunion, and Zhao Xing, who had no excuse to start a war, could immediately lead the army to a certain sphere of influence on both sides of the Yellow River!

For example, if Dong Zhuo now announced to the world that the Fourth Prince was in his hands and asked the court to grant the Fourth Prince the King of Liang and use Liangzhou as his fiefdom. Then, Wang Yun would immediately suggest that the court issue an order to fight against Dong Zhuo to Jin State, and Zhao Xing would definitely happily lead nearly 100,000 troops to advance westward. Within a year, Dong Zhuo will be completely wiped out.

Of course, Zhao Xing's hand would not be able to reach out to the prefectures and counties far away from Bingzhou, such as Yizhou, Jingzhou, Wuzhou and other places. But if the prefectures in these states were dizzy and jumped out to support the descendants of the Han Dynasty to be crowned kings, the court could reach another agreement with Bingzhou, such as mobilizing the Central Army to suppress, while Jin State would intimidate the northern states.

In short, the current imperial court and Jin State are related to the eldest and second brothers. Although the second brother has the intention to establish a new mountain, the two brothers will never want to see the third younger brother appear and establish a mountain again.

When the State of Jin was first established, the reactions of other states were unclear, but a far-reaching political reform in Jin has begun.

As the Grand Tutor who assisted the King of Jin, he held the 180,000 "protective" commander of Jin State. In the future, Liu Rong's father-in-law, Zhao Xing's position in Bingzhou was actually more stable. In the past, he had to negotiate with the formal state and the final order had to be issued by the state and the government. After all, there were some detours and sometimes he was inevitably full of concerns. Now Liu Yu and Zhao Xing nominally ranked the civil and military factions of Jin State, but in fact Liu Yu became the general manager who worked for Zhao Xing. Many government orders could be issued in the name of Liu Rong.

The legal representative of the "newly listed company" of Jin State is Liu Rong, the general manager is Liu Yu, and the chairman is Zhao Xing. In name, Liu Rong is responsible for the matters negotiated with the central government and other states, but Zhao Xing is responsible for the direction; the management and operation of the company are responsible for Liu Yu, but if the chairman Zhao Xing feels that the general manager has problems with his political stance, he can change it immediately.

As a large country with a territory of one state or even several states, Jin State is fundamentally different from dozens of other counties and states of all sizes and small in the Han Dynasty. Within Jin State, all government orders, military orders, official appointments, and military deployments are all autonomous, and the court is powerless to interfere. As long as it does not leave Jin State, as long as it does not pose the banner of rebellion, Zhao Xing can do whatever he wants in Jin State. This is the huge political benefit brought by the "borrowing the corpse and resurrection" strategy.

The political reform directly promoted by Zhao Xing mainly includes the following aspects:

First, the issue of land ownership and application rights. In order to avoid the huge "sequelae" caused by "beating local tyrants and dividing land" caused by unifying the country, Zhao Xing planned to adopt a gradual and moderate approach to ultimately achieve the goal of nationalization of land ownership.

Zhao Xing stipulated that land between private people cannot be traded, and land with a dominant land can only be sold to the government, and then allocated by the government to farmers who need to use land to farm. Zhao Xing, who is about to control the economic trend of the world, is fully capable of realizing land mergers and acquisitions through a large amount of wealth. In other words, in the future, there will only be one big landlord in Zhao Xing in the entire country, and other landlord classes will find it difficult to survive.

Then someone will ask, if Zhao Xing does not impose land on his civil and military ministers in the future, how can he form a community of interests and win over the hearts of the people? Because the contradictions between Zhao Xing's power are not sharp at present, this issue is temporarily shelved. Zhao Xing dares to think so and do so, there will naturally be follow-up means. As long as everyone remembers that the most critical factor affecting the social development of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the low level of productivity.

The second is the issue of taxation and social wealth distribution. Jin State will continue to adhere to the policy of hiding wealth for the people and legalizing private property. Of course, wealth is distributed among the people, which is not conducive to concentrating financial resources to accomplish major tasks. After all, the people's vision is not that long-term, and they believe that overnight gold is not as good as copper. It doesn't matter, the "Bingzhou Agricultural, Industrial and Commercial Development and Construction Financial Bank" that will be opened will effectively solve this problem.

The third is the issue of official selection. Zhao Xing did not study or think too much about the issue of official selection in China, but he heard that the "imperial examination system" is China's "fifth invention" for the world, and the modern version of the imperial examination system is the college entrance examination. Although the college entrance examination was ill with many people, in the 21st century, the largest and most populous country with the oldest history still could not solve the balance between fairness and justice and selecting the best and selecting talents, so the college entrance examination was still firm. So Zhao Xing spared no effort to implement the "imperial examination system" and established an examination committee to specifically guide the methods of selecting talents from all walks of life through the examination.

One advantage of Jin State is that vested interest groups belong to emerging groups. Many families are only at the beginning of their development and are still at the bottom of society at the beginning. Therefore, there is not much resistance to the imperial examination system, which can reflect fairness and justice in the most likely way.

Fourth, vigorously promote the plan to increase production and income in agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery. Grain production has always been a bottleneck problem that limits the population increase and power expansion in Bingzhou. The combination of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery is to solve this problem. With the gradual concentration of land ownership, Zhao Xing will take more radical methods and measures to spare no effort to increase various outputs and ensure the solid foundation of Jin.

Fifth, the issue of vigorously promoting the development of manual manufacturing. There is no doubt that this is the key to Bingzhou's future prosperity. If there is no one, I have something, I have something, I have something, and I have a new one. As long as we always keep "Made in Shangdang" ahead of the world, will the yellow and white gold and silver not flow to Jin like water?

Sixth, we attach importance to the issue of improving the social and economic benefits of technical craftsmen. Zhao Xing's meritorious system implemented in Bingzhou in the early days had a motivation to solve this problem. Many dynasties in the feudal dynasty sneered at craftsmen and always showed an ugly face of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", but Zhao Xing knew that only science and technology are the ultimate decisive force to promote social progress.

To put it bluntly, improving the social and economic benefits of technical craftsmen is to take the path of a technologically strong country. Zhao Xing's absolute prestige and huge influence within Jin State determined that he has the ability to completely change the social and economic status of "craftsmen".

In addition to these aspects, Zhao Xing also has many ideas. He needs to wait until the strength of Jin State is further strengthened and his prestige is more prosperous, and then try it one by one. Just the above six points, no matter which one is firmly implemented, Jin State will move towards a path of prosperity and strength.
