"The sea is coming from the first line,
In front of the building, he pointed to the piles of Gu Xue.
From the current tide, the king must be up,
Look at the twelve times of Yinshan. "
Su Shi, "Five Wonders in the Evening Scene of Wanghailou"
—I am the dividing line —
In the Qiantang City of Hangzhou, Zhou Huaian finally began to receive representatives of local scholars and people, and made public appearances on specific occasions and activities to declare the corresponding power of governance and control.
How to quickly transform the military victories and achievements that have been achieved into political and economic gains and resource output bonuses is undoubtedly an important science. Such as deterring the enemy externally and suppressing the authority and influence of contradictions internally;
Another example is to fully mobilize and utilize the newly occupied land and population, and quickly transform it into a ready-made resource under the framework of the new system to support follow-up military operations and war potential. Then, this involves organizational construction and bureaucratic system training.
At least it is relatively easy to plunder wealth and population directly as a war bonus, and make it relatively easy to occupy a place to fear you with force. But any social change that wants to go deeper, just relying on traditional military conquer methods to become famous, the routine and speculative mode of the world will not be able to fully meet the corresponding needs.
However, most regimes and leaders in history have been able to develop to this point, and this does not mean that they have to make trade-offs and compromises in reality.
After all, poor people can mobilize and gather into a huge force that shakes the foundation of society, but it is relatively difficult to effectively manipulate it and transform it into a constructive force. Because their education level and knowledge level are generally too low, it is difficult for them to become the backbone force supporting the bottom of the regime.
The old officials inherited from the previous dynasty system, and the large and small landlord classes represented by the aristocratic families behind them, can provide the corresponding talents who have enough time to study and train off-the-job as candidates and candidates for the bureaucratic system of the dynasty. new blood.
Since ancient times, the emperors at the time of the change of dynasties have been weighing the two groups to maintain the corresponding constraints and balance. In addition, the survival pressure caused by the sharp decline in population/land mergers has been greatly eased, and finally created The so-called founding prosperity.
Therefore, any peasant insurgents/rebel forces that claim to be committing crimes against the civilians develop to the end and want to organize the political power and complete the transformation of a stable world, they must abandon most of their original intentions and ideas to absorb these old ones. Skilled bureaucrats and elites with systems.
So taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, for the Shandong noble clans headed by the five surnames and seven hopes, they basically have the basic national policy of wooing, suppressing and implementing them. On the one hand, these big clans who have great public opinion and language power on the ground are well-respected. The imperial power of the family is a natural threat and hidden danger.
However, due to the stability of the political structure, they have to rely on the so-called scholarly heirs that they have cultivated from generations to generations, and they have cultivated a large number of tribal children, old students, and corresponding influences that can call for more scholars to serve Li Tang. The political power fills the government organizations at all levels.
Therefore, during the ups and downs of the dynasty evolution in the first 100 years of Zhenguan’s rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the Tang dynasty was striving to divide and disintegrate the influence of these old family clans, while using the imperial examination system to attract more unfamiliar talents. As a force of restriction and confrontation.
So after the Mid-Tang Dynasty, this invisible national policy has succeeded in a sense, but it can also be said to have basically failed. As the dynasty needs to be suppressed and divided and disintegrated, the influence of the aristocratic families on the local level has been severely declining, and they have gradually given way to the local martial arts group in the separatist regime.
However, as a corresponding means of survival and change, these aristocratic families began to transfer to the power center represented by the two capitals, and penetrated into the imperial system from all aspects, and became a closely related important part of the Tang Dynasty regime.
But also because they have the central authority and have a higher starting point than ordinary people, they have more direct and indirect political resources and personal influence, which makes it easy for the children of these family clans to obtain the post of innocence or authority. .
After snowballing the advantages of these political resources and power positions, and further superimposing and stabilizing them, they will be inherited to their own children and tribes, and there will be no such thing as those of humble and humble backgrounds, or those of the poor family. The so-called many brothers, father and son on the same list, three generations of the prime minister's lineage was born in this way.
In the end, when the imperial power was used to confuse dissent and introduce competition and vitality, the imperial examination system also became a tool for the exchange of interests and political compromise between the high-ranking countries through "passing the list" and "progress". The Tang dynasty, unable to change anything, naturally ushered in his doomsday period.
Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, because the ascending passages have been gradually blocked and blocked, the poor scholars who have lost their normal way out have joined the shogunate of various feudal towns, and have become a boost to the local opposition center. Then, under the desperate situation of natural and man-made calamities, he devoted himself to the civil uprisings one after another.
In a sense, Huang Chao, a native of Yunzhou, who has never tried his best, is just one of the people who have emerged from time to time because of the grievances of generations; and the remnants of aristocratic families and clan politics have collapsed throughout the Five Dynasties and Ten States And recession can also be said to be a gradual product of this final backlash.
But it is also ridiculous that because these aristocratic families have been tied to the Li Tang dynasty too deeply and have the same interests, at the end of this dynasty, they want to save the nation and save the most important force, and a large number of loyal ministers have emerged in the future. Although there is still no egg to use.
But Zhou Huai'an obviously wanted to take another road, another road of revolution that would turn everything upside down more thoroughly, and was also full of thorns and hardships. Therefore, it is necessary to eradicate and eliminate as much as possible from the beginning, the residual influence and poison of various old forces.
The Qiantang City is no exception, but the situation is slightly different. This is because there are not only the well-developed water villages and river networks and irrigated agriculture in the inland cities like Dayi, but also prosperous commodity economy and river-sea trade activities like Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.
As the prefecture of Hangzhou and the leading city and famous town in Hangzhou, Qiantang City has Liupu and Wushan as the cores of the old and new cities respectively, constructing several sections of old and new walls with a circumference of about 36 miles and 90 steps.
And there are 47,000 households in the old and new 73fang in the city, with a population of more than 210,000. Almost one-third of the households are engaged in shipping, trade, or silk weaving, papermaking, gold and silversmithing and other industrial and commercial related businesses. Working.
The resulting wealthy giants are everywhere. Therefore, from a high place, you can see that in addition to the black shed gray tiles between the walls of the city, there are also the outlines of the high and low pavilions and gardens, scattered and lying on the low Wushan and the old and new city. Near the small inner city.
The owner is also a special group in Qiantang City that needs to be identified and distinguished. Among them, there are four surnames of Wuzhong dating back to the Sun Quan era of the Eastern Wu, Zhu Zhang Gulu, and Wang Xie Yuan Xiao, who was the Yuan Shu who was dressed in the south during the Yongjia period at the turn of the two Jin Dynasties.
Of course, after the years have gone through like a song, since the "old king Xietang Qianyan" all competed to "fly into the homes of ordinary people", the only ones who can stay here in Hangzhou are the families of many distant sects. For modern people, there is only a little bit of sentiment and curiosity that is dispensable.
Then there was Xu, Shen, Zhoufang and others, the Tuhu clans who only emerged from the surrounding areas in the previous hundreds of years. Chen Lin and Wu Huang, who came to take root from crossing the sea between Liangling and Central Fujian, are known as a group of regional merchants in Qiantang Sixteen because of long-term operations of sea trade and river transportation.
Of course, because of the ancients' tradition of "business to get rich and to buy land, to have a lot of land to pursue scholarship, and to learn to be good, most of them failed to get rid of the shit on their buttocks." In the end, through the preliminary selection and investigation, he was elected as one of the representatives of the scholars and people. Only a few companies came to Zhou Huai'an to petition.
And their performance and attitude will also determine the fate of many peers in the city. Was it a liquidation of the family’s ransack after trial, or ordering the family to relocate, or accepting on-site rectification and closed-door self-examination, or becoming the new partner of the Taiping Army at the local level and joining the economic system under the rule? Come.
The meeting was also arranged at the most famous banquet and viewing place in the city, the Wanghai Tower on the embankment outside the south wall used to watch the tide in Qiantang. It can even be traced back to the record of "Historical Records-The Book of Emperor Qin Shihuang" "The 37th year of the First Emperor's visit to Kuaiji, Danyang, Qiantang, and Zhejiang".
Then it is the fifth time that it has been repeatedly destroyed and built on the old site of Qin Guanchao Terrace. The most recent was the rebellion of Yang Baoying in Hangzhou, which was burnt ten years after the reign of Emperor Sui Dynasty. Then Chu Suiliang, one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty, called for reconstruction.
It can be regarded as one of the quite old buildings of the same name among the many Wanghailou buildings in the world. Clustered on a magnificent high platform with spiral steps on the edge of the long embankment, it is a pagoda-style building with eight ridges and five layers of gray tiles.
Starting from the hall at the lowest level, many fate pillars are also inscribed on the poems of famous masters of the past. "Tide Poem" by Zheng Gu:
"Zhejiang Qinglang went leisurely, Wanghailou blew sea sorrow.
It's no wonder that the heart of the hometown is broken, and he has been a guest in another state for ten years. "
And today there is no doubt that Zhou Huaian’s "new" will be added as a semi-couplet: "Wanghai Tower, Wanghailiu, Wanghailou, Wanghailiu, the fragrant beauty will flow through the ages." When he arrived here with his guards, the singer in the building was singing the widely circulated "Golden Cloth" under the accompaniment of pipa, 箜篌, and lusheng clarinet. Joint Election
"Persuade you not to hesitate the golden dress, and persuade you to cherish your youth.
There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, not to be folded without flowers.
The blue sky is cloudless and the moon is like a candle, and the pear blossoms are as white as jade.
Zigui screamed all night, and the beauty was alone in the vacant room.
The empty gift Luo Yi does not give grace, after a fragrance, a ecstasy.
Although the dance sleeves have never danced, they often have tears on the spring breeze.
If you don't wash the leftover makeup, you can embroider mandarin ducks with your female companion.
Stabbed back to Shuangfei, recalling Zhenghu's tears for several lines. "
And the representatives of the elders and the people of the city, who were gathered together in the city, also got up and bowed their hands and bowed down to Zhou Huai'an, who was climbing up the steps.
"Respectfully welcome the arrival of the governor..." (End of this chapter)
