Chapter 644 (1/2)

In this way, Lu Chuan stayed in his study for almost a day.

In the evening, he will invite Wen Zhong to the house for discussion.

After Wen Zhong passed the mansion, he was surprised and said, ”younger martial brother, you came to me so late...”

Lu Chuan looked serious: ”elder martial brother, there is something you must support me now.”

”What's up?”

”I want to... Abolish the enfeoffment system!”

”What are you talking about?” Wen Zhong looked at Lu Chuan in surprise.

Lu Chuan shook his head: ”I'm not kidding. At that time, this system may be conducive to stabilizing the current situation and order, strengthening the king's authority and ruling the world, but the shortcomings are also obvious. You see, I've listed them. Have a look.”

He handed Wen Zhong a bamboo slip.

Wen Zhong took the bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them carefully. His expression became dignified a little bit.

”It is true that the king has absolute authority, but now the princes have too much power. In their fiefdoms, the power is too independent and no one can control it.”

Lu Chuan went to close the door and said, ”people's ambition will grow. It seems that there is no peace between princes. There will often be war. Elder martial brother, I ask you, why did you suppress yuan Futong in the north?”

Wen Zhongshen said, ”Yuan Futong did not obey the king's orders and launched a war to annex the surrounding princes. His heart can be punished!”

”Yes, that's what I said. The strength of the princes will be enhanced a little. Look at the growth of the four princes this time.”

Lu Chuan sighed: ”the power of these princes is too great, so we must take it back from the king.”

”If you want to abolish this system, you have to have something new to replace it.” Wen Zhong's eyes moved.

He was moved by Lu Chuan's proposal. He was not a fool. Lu Chuan analyzed the pros and cons so clearly. What else did he think?

The only point is that abolishing a system requires a substitute and better.

Otherwise, the abolition of the whole Yin Shang Dynasty will be a complete chaos.

Lu Chuan smiled and said, ”open the bamboo slips and look behind them.”

Speaking of this, he also has a plan. He chose to abolish the enfeoffment system first. In addition, for the time being, officials were appointed directly by the Central Committee.

Otherwise, if directly appointed, it would be tantamount to abolishing the current ”hereditary system of world officials” and moving the cake of these aristocrats. These officials dare to turn against him whether they have friends or not.

Under the current system, their official positions can be inherited, regardless of whether future generations have the ability or not.

But the world official system will be abolished. Can't future generations be officials directly?

Now Lu Chuan is afraid to move the aristocrats. When the state and county system is implemented and formed, it's not too late to engage in these aristocratic moths.

Huh?

He has a feeling like a woodpecker. He used to catch insects after teaching. Now he comes to big business to catch insects.

Wen Zhong opened the back and stared: ”state county system, state, county, county...”

Gradually, Wen Zhong's eyes lit up. The more he looked back, the brighter the light in his eyes: ”younger martial brother, what did you think of here? All right, you! ”

Lu Chuan coughed, ”I was inspired. Younger martial brother, I thought on the shoulders of giants.”

Whether it is county system or state county system, there are only county, county or state and county levels. However, this is an immortal and demon world!

Not to mention anything else, the whole China is too big. The Central Plains alone is vast and thousands of miles.

It is certainly not enough to use only two levels, so he integrated the two systems into three levels. Of course, there can be subdivided into townships, kiosks and Li below the county level.

Compared with the enfeoffment system, this state county system is of greater significance. It can strengthen centralization of power and local management, prevent local separatism, contribute to political stability and economic development, and unify Kyushu.

Then Wen Zhong hesitated and said, ”but now that the rebellion for many years has just ended and the world is settled, do you think it would be better to let the people stabilize for a period of time?”

”On the contrary, now those princes are defeated and afraid. Even if they resist, they have no power to resist. Therefore, it is time to abolish the enfeoffment system.”

Lu Chuan's eyes flashed and said, ”but waiting for a period of time is tantamount to giving them a chance to breathe. If we want to abolish it at that time, they will fight hard.”

”Good!” Wen Zhong nodded immediately, ”just do as you say!”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, ”well, I'll rely on my senior brother to support me tomorrow.”

The abolition of enfeoffment is very important. He must talk to Wen Zhongtong in advance, or it will be sudden and difficult for people to react.

The next day, early morning, although it was early spring, the weather was still slightly cold.

After the new king succeeded to the throne, the General Assembly began.

”This time, the Yin Shang Dynasty lasted 18 years and calmed the chaos of the princes. The solitary teacher, doctor Lu, has made great contributions.”

Wu Geng looked down and said, ”today, I will grant Lu Shi the position of sub phase. I hope Lu Shi will live up to Gu's expectations.”

Hearing the speech, all the ministers exchanged glances silently, nodded secretly, and an unexpected color flashed in their eyes.

Lu Chuan's credit was in their eyes, and among the civil servants of the big business, the grand master was the first, the prime minister was the second, and the sub prime minister was the second, ranking above all civil servants.

The grand master still Wen Zhong. He used to be a bad old man with white hair, but now he lives younger and younger, which makes them envy.

On the contrary, the prime minister is getting older and older. Now he is old and frail. He can't work for a few years, and Lu Chuan is now the Asian prime minister.

After a few years, Bigan will retire. Who else can be the prime minister except Lu Chuan?

”Thank you, King Ron!”

Also at this time, Lu Chuan played out of the class: ”report to the king, I have something to start!”

”What's up, Master Lu?” Wu Geng was stunned.
