As the Tian family of Qi Dynasty, Tian He knew the various methods of the nobles.

Twenty years ago, he was not the monarch, but the largest noble in the entire Qi State, so he knew the aristocrats clearly.

He was not a farmer who came from the lower class to revolt, so he might not know what the lower class wanted, but he must know what the nobles wanted and what they opposed.

In order to encourage the nobles to develop industry and commerce, or to prevent the nobles from accumulating power like their families back then, he also formulated the following policies.

One is to unify weights and measures.

The Tian family started out because of the inconsistent weights and measures to attract the hearts of the people. In the famine, they used big money to lend money and small money to return it, so that they legally and reasonably exploited the inconsistent weights and measures, and took advantage of the loopholes and shot the edge.

This was not what he thought of for the development of industry and commerce, but he thought of it based on the history of his family's fortune.

Of course, Tian He felt that this could also promote the development of Qi's industry and commerce, and would help him collect taxes.

Secondly, it is to publicly allow nobles to start industries such as smelting metals, but it must be declared public. Otherwise, once the investigation and punishment are completed but quietly opened without declaring, the fief is immediately divided by heavy punishment or even the fief is cut off.

This industry is also a good thing for all nobles to make a fortune. When the Tian family made their fortune, they mined gold and copper.

Since this is what the nobles do, he might as well allow the nobles to do so, as long as they pay enough taxes.

Insufficient manpower? The farmers on the fief are dominated by the nobles. If you are willing to do it, you can do it. If the people are resentful, you can kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, slow down the hatred of the people, and at the same time they are called the king of benevolence and righteousness by the people.

Insufficient technology? Industry and businessmen are allowed to start, and can be supported by industry and businessmen. As long as they are requested, the nobles can even be allowed to transfer the farmers on the fiefdom to the industry and businessmen to make their profits.

Insufficient funds? The treasury that is enriched under the "national track" and the official and sea policies can be provided with loans and support.

Even some "official" handicrafts passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period can be transferred to some wealthy merchants who want to support them.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, handicrafts in various countries were mainly run by the government, and with the development of the times, a large number of private handicrafts appeared.

However, the economic school of Qi believes that under the current premise of "the people think of changing careers", they will continue to restrict those who are "a hundred workers" from doing things by using official means, and they will be resentful.

For example, if you open a mine, if you directly recruit farmers to serve labor, it is easy for people to make trouble when they get together. Moreover, these farmers will inevitably have resentment and may turn against each other during the war.

In this case, it is better to hand over some official handicrafts to private individuals - as for whom are qualified to obtain these industries, they are naturally the people who support the economic school of Qi, and those who can gain benefits in this way.

In this way, wealthy merchants can operate the originally government-run handicraft industry, and merchants seek profit, so they will find ways to extract profits, and the monarch only needs to collect taxes.

Moreover, industries such as opening mines allow wealthy merchants to participate, and the organization is organized by them, and they are responsible for any incidents. The farmers can also kill a group of resentment, and the farmers will not resent the king.

As a monarch, you only need to "take three of the ten", get enough benefits to enrich the treasury, and recruit soldiers.

The officer is the son of the noble.

Because the Xia Dynasty was inherited by the eldest son, a large number of concubines had no chance to make a name for themselves, and gradually became officials from officials to scholars, and eventually became commoners from scholars to commoners.

Under the original feudal system, there were not so many feuds unless it was expanded to the outside world. However, now that Qi State has been established for hundreds of years, all the pits have been occupied.

A large number of nobles and concubines were eager to rise, the academic geometry of the Mohist school, and so on, have to be said to be very useful.

As the monarch, Tian He naturally liked the Mohist family's "respecting virtuousness", but the things that the Mohist family has done in recent years have made Tian He dare not "respecting virtuousness".

What if those wise men are the ink masters?

Therefore, the children of aristocratic families are more reliable, forcing a large number of noble children to learn useful cultural knowledge and act as military officers, officials, etc.

In other words, the aristocratic corpses still own fiefs.

But the nobles' small clans entered the standing army to serve as officers, gained an ascent and monopolized the candidates for officers, so that they would be keen on external expansion because they had to find "pits" for their own carrots.

At the same time, this upward channel is opened within the nobles, which can also make a large number of nobles and concubines think about studying hard, expand the number of grassroots officers and administrative officials, and adapt to the new military system and administrative reforms.

Tian He doesn't have to worry about the radical thinking brought about by popular education in Si Shang. If he doesn't take the initiative, there will always be a gap between the common people and the nobles. The aristocratic system remains unchanged and the nobles can always obtain knowledge more easily than the common people. In this way, the talents who are the basics are all nobles and commoners, and they will not revolutionize their own lives.

The "primary inheritance system" of Zhuxia itself ensured the existence of a large number of "scholars" classes, but this channel was blocked under the history of the feudal system for hundreds of years. Tian He only opened this channel, allowing scholars to have more opportunities to become officials.

Only by gathering the power of the nobles can there be a vacant vacancy. Otherwise, if the family and country are isomorphic, and the officials at the grassroots level are all retainers of the nobles, the power of the monarch is impossible to talk about.

Tian He estimated that if the reform was successful, the entire Qi State would become a powerful country where "monarchs, nobles, and wealthy merchants" united together. Only by expanding externally can the noble sons obtain merits, and only by expanding externally can the interests of those wealthy merchants cultivated.

In that case, it is probably outside the four realms that Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, Song and others all looked at Qi from the south.

After solving the problems of the upper-level military system, finance, administration, centralization, etc., we must consider military personnel and taxes in order to cooperate with the new military system.

The feudal system has a military system under the feudal system, with the officers as commanders, the scholars as brigade commanders, and the military system that combines peasants and soldiers is the most suitable.

However, since Tian He wanted to reform and to establish a standing army to deal with wars in the new era, it needed to reform the system.

On the one hand, the farmers on the noble fiefs needed to be provided to the monarch as the nobles' "military tax", which was considered a forced military conscript.

On the other hand, this time the Mo family did help the Duke of Qi a great favor. The aristocrats on a large area of ​​land south of the Great Wall were swept away, either fled or captured. The Mo family had already carried out the land reform of "opening the fields and breaking the well fields" south of the Great Wall.

Tian He felt that he could use it. If Tian Shan had this method, then the various changes he had imagined would really have a chance.

This time the coup was successful, Tian Shan must continue to purge the nobles. The Mo family wanted to kill a bunch of nobles with blood debt, so the fief could be recovered.

Now the one with real power is the nobles north of the Great Wall. As long as they are guaranteed to remain untouched, the changes south of the Great Wall can be implemented appropriately.

To admit that farmers own land, they only need to pay taxes to the monarch and have the obligation to join the army, and the problem of military personnel can be solved.

Moreover, this is equivalent to an expanded scope that the monarch can directly govern, providing more noble and commoners with space as officials and officers, and expanding the revenue of the treasury.

Of course, it is impossible to change everything, and some of the nobles' fiefs need to be returned. After all, the nobles are all relatives, and then it will be bad if the nobles are angry and resentful.

Then you need to pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and at the same time, clean up Tian’s political enemies.

With this calculation, if the Five-District System can be implemented, Pingyin and Linzi can be held in the hands of the monarch, using these two places as pilot projects to ensure that the soldiers can also form a tight structure of the upper monarch, nobles and wealthy merchants; the middle-level nobles and concubines serve as the pillars of the army, and the privileged franchise merchants serve as the cornerstone of the city economy.

This is the Qi State road conceived by Tian He, a different way from the Si Shang people and the common people are equal; unlike the Qin State's emphasis on agriculture and commerce and officials to run industry and commerce; unlike the feudal border of Chu State's border, the Western Zhou Dynasty; unlike the Wei State's Xihe River originated from blood taxes and self-cultivation... Of course, it is also different from the Zhou Li antiques to the Yan State's road to a strong country.

Tian He has planned this road for twenty years and has never had the opportunity to implement it.

Now, taking advantage of the situation of the Qi-Mo War, Tian He felt that Tian Shan could inherit his will and complete this path.

In terms of divine power, he followed Huangdi as his ancestor, and the battle of Banquan was the reincarnation of the Tian family.

In the regime, the Guanzi School of Qi was used as the skin, and the Guanzi School, which was local to Qi.

In terms of military system, using the experience of various countries in the past twenty years of war, the aristocratic military system was abandoned.

In fact... the Mohist school's battle is an excellent opportunity this time.

What happened south of the Great Wall... You can ask the Mo family for help.

Didn’t the Mo family want to benefit the world? Well, the blame for offending the nobles of Qi State, please take over the blame and rebel against the generals. Will your Mo family take the blame or not? If you blame the country, the Qi State will be strong; if you don’t, what’s the face to talk about benefiting the world?

The Chu State was able to try to reform because Wu Qi destroyed many Chu nobles in the Battle of Daliang. Several kings of Gui were captured or died in battle. A large number of noble children in Daliang City, which was blown up by gunpowder, were captured, and the King of Chu was able to use this to centralize power.

This is the meaning of making a country prosperous.
