Chapter 432
Liang Xiao’s plan was the order of grace proposed by the Lord’s Father Yan later.△↗,
Many people think that the order to promote grace is a key measure to weaken the princes and strengthen centralization. In fact, it is not. The freezing of three feet is not a day's cold. Many things are not a decision made by a genius suddenly having an idea or a slap in his head, but a natural result of history developing to that point.
The order to promote grace was proposed by the Lord's father, but weakening the princes and strengthening centralization was a clear policy orientation as early as when the Han Empire was first established. Liu Bang eliminated kings of different surnames, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing treated the kings of the same surname harshly, and finally even aroused the rebellion of the seven countries, which were all continuation of this national policy.
Even if it is a theory, Master Yan is not the initiator. If you have to say that there is a genius, Jia Yi is that genius. Master Yan just came to an accomplice and put this suggestion in time, and finally helped Emperor Wu of Han implement this suggestion. Moreover, it was not Master Yan who really played a key role, but Emperor Wu of Han himself.
Without Zhufu Yan, someone else would have made similar suggestions sooner or later. Without the powerful Emperor Wu of Han, it is a question of when this policy will be implemented. Now, Zhufu Yan doesn’t know where to look for a job, so Liang Xiao put forward this suggestion first.
Unlike the Lord Father Yan, the Lord Father Yan proposed the order to express grace only for personal interests, which is objectively beneficial to the court at most. Liang Xiao proposed the order to express grace to express grace to express grace to express grace to be far-reaching, and it is not just as simple as weakening the princes. He wanted to use all the conditions as much as possible to lead the trend of a generation, and ultimately influence the entire national policy.
Along the way, he was planning these things.
The emperor could not imagine how much effort Liang Xiao had put into this, but he was immediately attracted by Liang Xiao's suggestion.
This is simply a genius idea with irresistible reasons.
If the court wants to reduce the vassals, but the princes are not fools, how can they be tied up? Even if the court is more and more restrictive and the kings are more and more powerful, it is still a matter of being extremely cautious when it is not as good as Wu and Chu. Although there is no big country like Wu and Chu, there are many kings, and once the public anger is aroused, the court still has a lot of pressure.
Therefore, the court must find appropriate reasons to reduce the vassal states, so as not to be criticized or even arouse rebellion.
When the emperor ascended the throne, he was ambitious and full of energy. He wanted to do something immediately, so he accepted the advice of the ministers and used various reasons to find trouble for the princes and kings. He was ready to solve this chronic disease in one fell swoop. However, when the emperor took the opportunity of the court meeting, he attacked the local officials for bullying the kings, which was contrary to the way of being a relative. The kings responded at the moment and had a great momentum. Seeing that the emperor was not good, he had to temporarily suspend the act of reducing the vassals, and rewarded them greatly to appease the kings.
The reason why the kings opposed the reduction of the vassal state was that the way of kissing relatives was that the emperor could not refute it, so he could only endure it. Now Liang Xiao proposed the order to refute the favor. He followed the trend and turned the way of kissing relatives into the reason for the reduction of the vassal state, which made the kings unable to oppose it, and gained support from more royal children. While turning resistance invisible, he also turned those royal families without inheritance into supporters. It was a killing of two birds with one stone.
The emperor suddenly realized the essence of this suggestion, and couldn't help but applaud, and felt guilty for his doubts about Liang Xiao's loyalty. As Liang Xiao himself said, as soon as this order of grace was issued, Liang Xiao would inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of the kings. If he only thinks about his own interests, why should he offer this plan? It is undoubtedly the best way to marry the King of Huainan and marry Liu Ling.
Now, whether the King of Huainan can marry his daughter is a question.
"I can lead the marriage for you, but how do you propose?" The emperor smiled and his tone became relaxed, and he even felt a little gloating. "Aren't you afraid that the King of Huainan will beat you out?"
"I'm afraid. Therefore, I want to ask Your Majesty to suspend this plan. Let me wait until I will marry the Lord of the House."
The emperor smiled even happier, and felt like his friends were doing bad things together. "This is a good idea. However, when it really comes to that point, it will be more difficult for the Lord Weng to get caught between you."
"That..." Liang Xiao scratched his head. "I don't care about that for a while, let's talk about it then."
"Hahaha..." The emperor laughed. "Okay, as long as you can propose successfully, I will take the initiative to marry you."
Liang Xiao was overjoyed and bowed to retreat.
Liang Xiao left the palace and returned home. The house was very lively.
Liang Yu was very well-behaved. When he saw Mama Liang, he called him mother and fell to his knees.
Before this, Liang Xiao had sent someone to send a letter to explain the rescue of Liang Yu and thought that the sister-in-law was just that Liang Magazine had no impression of the village party who had lived at home for a while, and she was not moved by much. However, when Liang Yu knelt in front of her and Hao Tao cried, she suddenly accepted Liang Yu.
No matter how caring the son is, he is not as close to his daughter and his mother as his daughter. Liang Yu is beautiful and has the natural advantage of being the same surname and hometown. In addition, the sympathy caused by her father's tragic experience, he broke Mama Liang's defense with just a few tears and integrated into this family. Not only did she be extremely intimate with Mama Liang, but even Li Rongqing, Yueliang and others were aroused by her experience and she burst into tears.
When Liang Xiao returned home, she seemed to be part of the Liang family.
Liang Xiao was very satisfied. This woman was not only beautiful, but also smart, and better than he expected.
After settled down at home, Liang Xiao rushed to Huainan residence again to meet Liu Ling.
As soon as they met, Liu Ling teased and said, "I didn't bring my concubine back this time, but I brought back a sister with me back? It was also an accident."
Liang Xiao had no time to joke with her, and said the order of favor directly. When Liu Ling heard this, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. She frowned and stared at Liang Xiao for a long time. "What do you want to do? Do you dare to do anything to do the world?"
Liang Xiao smiled. Liu Ling did not accuse him of Meng Lang, but asked him about his true intentions, which was a mutually consistent trust.
"Think about it carefully, how much of your current wealth comes from the land?"
Liu Ling's eyes flashed and he understood a little.
To put it bluntly, the land is still to pursue wealth. At present, land is still the one with the least risk and the income is more. The less land acre is only a few dozen yuan, and the better one is hundreds of yuan. Even the best land is only tens of yuan, which is known as earth paste, but the land will not depreciate. If it goes well, the investment can be recovered in at most two or three years. Compared with doing business, there is almost no zero risk.
However, the profit of land is limited after all, and if the advantage of low risk is eliminated, the speed of accumulating wealth is far less than that of industry and commerce. Liu Ling has a personal experience of this. Two unique businesses, Double-sided Brocade and Liuli, have made her make money every day. It took only a few years to make her rich, and she is rich enough to compete with a country.
To her, the land in those two counties was not worth mentioning at all.
"The profits of land are limited, but they have two fatal shortcomings." Liang Xiao said frankly: "First, competing for profit with the people will endanger national stability. Without farmers, the occupation of a large amount of land by the powerful will inevitably lead to displacement of the people and the taxes of the court will be sharply reduced. In the long run, the foundation of the court will shake the court's foundation. The court will not sit idly by, either by mistake or by robbing. Otherwise, the people will be in chaos and worry about collapse."
Liu Ling nodded. Everyone knows the harm of land annexation.
"Secondly, land is a fixed asset and it is inconvenient to move." Liang Xiao blinked. "No matter how much land you have accumulated, once you lose power, you cannot take it away even if it is a piece of soil. Even if you want to take it off, you may have to sell it at a low price, which is far less convenient than carrying jewelry."
Liu Ling's eyes flashed. "Did you feel something and be ready to escape at any time?"
Liang Xiao knew what she said, and smiled and shook his head, nodded again. "As for now, there is no such danger. However, I can't be prepared at all."
"If so, I can understand your thoughts. But why do you involve all the princes and kings? Do you know how many people will be involved?"
"I'm afraid there are not enough people." Liang Xiao further explained: "The imperial power is supreme, and the power of the princes and kings is gradually weakening. If you fight alone, how can you be the opponent of the court? Only when everyone unites and checks and balances the court can there be a glimmer of hope."
"If you don't have the strength, what's the use of being able to unite?"
"Otherwise, what you can do, others can do it too. It's just that they are not as smart as you, and they are not as good as you. Even so, it's better to occupy the land and fight for the benefits that must be fought for with the court. You often say that Huang Lao's way is good, don't you know the principle of not fighting? Instead of opposing the court on the land, it's better to avoid the real and make the weak, and give up the small and the big."
Liu Ling laughed and his eyes froze. "Are you praising me or yourself?"
"It's both praising you and myself." Liang Xiao also smiled, with indescribable pride. "If I'm not outstanding, how can I win your favor?"
"You will coax people." Liu Ling gave him a blank look, feeling sweet in his heart. "Are you really planning to lie to my father?"
"I don't want to. However, I don't know if your father can understand my good intentions like this. If it really doesn't work, I can only marry you back first. To be honest, this matter is important. I have some ideas, but whether I can put the ideas into practice can also help you. I am afraid that I can't do it so thoroughly by relying on me alone."
Liu Ling smiled like a flower.
"Of course, I actually have another way, not to lie to your father, but to marry you home."
"What's the solution?"
Liang Xiao stood up, walked to Liu Ling, attached himself to her ear, and whispered a few words. When Liu Ling heard this, his eyes were red and he stretched out his hand to push him away. "Dengtuzi, you can say such shameless things, aren't you afraid of laughing at me?"
Liang Xiao looked at it for granted. "What's so embarrassing about this? As long as you are in love and I am willing, who can say no? Besides, as long as I can hold the beauty, I dare to cheat the emperor, and what else can't be done?"
"you……"
"Master Weng, why not..." Liang Xiao blinked. "Let's give it a try first?"
"Get out!" Liu Ling pushed Liang Xiao away, got up and ran away. Liang Xiao reached out and grabbed her, threw her to the ground, laughing. "Master, you just want to escape, are you a little too late?"—
