Seeing Chen responding to the matter so happily, Chen Tang knew that even if the Chen family defeated the Xu family, they would have suffered heavy losses, and as the patriarch, he must die on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Chen Tang's courage suddenly became stronger when he knew that he was about to die. He saw him slowly standing up, first bowing to Liu Xie very seriously, and then said, "Since I am a dying person, I have a few heartfelt words to express to Your Majesty."

"speak."

"Your Majesty has the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers and benevolence and love the people. This is certainly a blessing for the people. However, as the saying goes, things will be defeated if urgent, and things will be smooth if things are slow. After decades of war, some of the powerful families like us have indeed died in name only, while others have become stronger and stronger because of the storage of refugees. Each state, county, and county have their own actual situation. However, Your Majesty has investigated the titles and lands and ordered a joint venture between salt and iron. So, the emperor, is it ruined by all the production and tools in our family? The people have been living with a noble family and powerful for hundreds of years. You will rashly use a tough way to attack the powerful. Is it really good for those ordinary people who depend on the powerful?"

"Or, is this really possible? Your Majesty, if it weren't for Lord Xun's death, how could you come to Runan in person? If you didn't come here in person, can you really implement your good governance with the strength of the local prefect? ​​After all, I don't know how many powerful people like our Chen family are in the entire Han Dynasty. Alas, our family is just unlucky."

"If the local prefect is not good, if the urging of the superiors is too tight, even in order to protect themselves, local officials will definitely find a way to transfer the consequences to the poor people, and deceive the superiors to explain. If there is any mistake, isn't this the recurrence of Wang Mang's disaster? Is it true that I have died, but please take the people as my thoughts after I die and make a slow move!"

What a good guy, he scolded him for being Wang Mang in front of Liu Xie, and Chen Tang was the first one.

Although many people in the world have already seen that the emperor is quite similar to Wang Mang, everyone just thinks about it in their hearts and talks behind their backs. If you say it in person, it’s really a bit of a quest for death.

To be honest, after listening to him, Liu Xie focused on one point: he was dissatisfied.

Most powerful people in the world must do this. Our Chen family is still loyal and kind for generations. Why do you just mess with us? If you didn’t come here in person, nothing would happen at all!

Because Xun You died? But we didn’t kill Xun You!

Hearing this, Guan Yu, who was sitting next to Liu Xie, silently put down the food on the plate, wiped his hands gently with a silk handkerchief, and then placed the sword in a place where he could be pulled out at any time, and gently narrowed his eyes.

However, Liu Xie was not angry, but nodded instead, saying, "You are right. I had already figured out some things yesterday. There are indeed some omissions in the new policies implemented by the court. Although the mid-term tax conference has not yet been held, I have indeed expected that the implementation of the localities will not be very good. Of course, I have to say that it is unlucky... Forget it, just think you are unlucky. Who made me the emperor? It is really good to be an emperor. When you don't want to be reasonable, you can ignore it."

“…………”

Chen Tang looked confused.

Liu Xieze spread his hands and said, "Look, I can ignore it when I don't want to reason, but you can only bear it, right? But I really don't understand your difficulties. I can't evaluate what Chen Fan did back then, but in general, it's always right to be a famous minister of a generation. Chen Dao and I have worked hard in the past few years. I don't want to be a reputation of being mean and polite, Chen Dao."

"I'm here."

"I have always clearly defined rewards and punishments. The Xu family now defines it as a rebel. If you win this battle within three days, not only will the merits and demerits be offset, but the enemy's head will be counted as the merits of your family. The twenty-level military merit system has been reiterated many times. If you can win in two days, I will promise you to be the throne of the marquis. If you can win in one day, I will also posthumously award the merits of Chen Fan. Your Chen family can steadily treat it as the family of the marquis, the honor fields, and the means of production that your family now have, and can be directly counted as shares according to the market price."

"Or just talk about it. If I want to establish a county-owned state-owned enterprise in Runan, I will take your production workshops as the foundation. Your family, your tenants and craftsmen, do whatever they do in the past. They are just not doing things for your family, but doing things for the court. They will follow the relevant treatment according to the regulations of the Shangshutai and the Yuzhou Salt and Iron Department. What kind of title can you get? Will your Chen family go up to the next level or from the destruction of the destruction all depend on your performance tomorrow."

Chen Dao looked confused when he heard this.

When everyone in the Chen family heard this, they were naturally shocked.

The emperor is...is this reward or punishment?

Of course, the Chen family had not reacted yet, and Liu Xie used their Runan Chen family as the experimental field.

After all, it has been several years since he traveled through time, and he has grown a little bit. She also knows that administration is a matter of different things. Orders and execution are two different things. A reform will only be smooth when it is in line with the interests of most people, especially most officials, and otherwise, it will be in a dilemma.

Killing can break the deadlock, but the side effects are indeed too great, and it is difficult to guarantee whether such a policy that is promoted by purely tough means will have another problem with time.

So Liu Xie thought of the public-private joint venture that the country where he was in his previous life was at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This was his first step in deepening reform this time.

It is indeed a pity to directly destroy these powerful means of production. If confiscation is made, this open robbery will be too great. The most important thing is that these workers and tenants, regardless of whether their surname is Chen or not, are temporarily tied to them. This production relationship will be directly interrupted, which will easily make these ordinary people lose food and clothing in the short term, which will lead to a series of social chain problems.

But, what if they were allowed to trade means of production for titles?

With a title, you can exchange shares in local county-owned enterprises. In this way, although the control of the workshop belongs to the court, the production and operation model will not be changed for the time being. In this way, these powerful people who have invested in county-owned enterprises will become the most active elements in cracking down on private workshops.

And we can further differentiate these powerful people, fight one after another, and be willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the court, economic interests will definitely be lost, but the political status of these powerful people has risen.

Put yourself in your heart, it’s like you worked hard to start from scratch or inherit a large enterprise from your ancestors. The court suddenly said one day that you should close the door and stop opening. You may really have to work hard, but if you sell 70% of my shares, I will give you a deputy department-level treatment.

Isn't it so unacceptable?
