Now, Zhuge Liang also respected Liu Chan.
It was not just because he was Liu Bei's son.
Instead, it was Liu Chan's ideas that popped up from time to time. His views and insights were truly admirable to Zhuge Liang.
"Military Advisor, please take a look!"
Liu Chan asked Huang Hao to bring over three to four carts of bamboo slips.""These are my views on the current Hanzhong, the selection and appointment of officials.”
Zhuge Liang was stunned.
Counting carefully, there were a total of six carriages.
Thick bamboo slips.
However, the contents of the bamboo slips were not written by Liu Chan himself, but by a servant.
If he wrote it himself, he would probably die of exhaustion.
He only gave a rough idea and asked the servants to sort it out. After sorting it out, they would take it out.
Zhuge Liang didn't stand on ceremony and continued reading seriously.
At this stage, Liu Chan had two main ideas.
One was to open up wasteland, and the other was to select talents.
The South now was not the South a thousand years later.
Poor, with a small population and little food.
To open up wasteland was to reclaim the land in the south and turn the forest filled with miasma into land that could be cultivated.
Liu Chan's idea was to let a portion of the old, weak, sick, and disabled be reorganized into a pioneering group to reclaim the wasteland.
At the same time, he called on the people to reclaim wasteland.
After taking over the land, the government gave them seeds, farm tools, and even cattle to plow the land.
After the land was reclaimed, all of it had to be registered. At the same time, the government had to be more generous and distribute it directly to these farmers. The tax ratio was not too harsh. 15% was enough.
If they wanted more food, the government would need money to buy it.
Following this train of thought.
Liu Chan still proposed a plan to raise cattle on a large scale. He wanted to focus on raising cattle and carry out large-scale concentrated breeding according to the habits of the cattle. He had a lot of ideas about breeding.
Zhuge Liang discovered a problem.
Liu Chan's thoughts were very scattered.
When it came to money, he proposed a currency reform.
At this moment, Liu Bei had already promoted the idea of direct money. Liu Chan's idea was to link direct money to salt and iron.
They could set up official shops.
The common people could buy salt directly with 100 yuan.
Following this train of thought, he made several suggestions for the development of the salt mine.
Also, how to set up an official salt shop and how to ensure that there would not be smuggling of salt.
Other than selling salt, he could also sell grains or farm tools.
However, on the whole, although Liu Chan raised many questions, he still wrote about the strategy of opening up wasteland.
Reclamation and distribution of fields.
At the same time, Liu Chan also raised a key issue. He had to collect land taxes and register the land properly to ensure that he could successfully collect taxes.
In this day and age, the great clans and tyrants would definitely hide their people.
Then he wouldn't collect the population tax.
Instead, they collected land taxes.
If they collected a population tax, the aristocratic families would hide their people.
When land tax was collected, the aristocratic families would hide their land.
When the Sima Clan destroyed Shu, Shu Han had a population of 930,000. However, in the second year of Taikang, the population of Shu had reached more than four million.
You said that these great clans didn't hide their people.
To fool ghosts.
The reclaimed land must be guarded against the great clans from devouring the fruits of victory.
Secondly,
The selection of talents was to select outstanding talents from the Humble Class. It could not simply rely on the selection of filial piety and honesty.
Of course, he couldn't follow Cao Wei's system.
Liu Chan's suggestion was the imperial examination.
The nine-grade system can be implemented, and the eighteen-grade system can be established.
The first grade, from the first grade, the second grade, from the second grade.
then
It wasn't a mature imperial examination, but a system specifically designed for the great clans.
He wanted to directly implement the imperial examination system, but most of the literate people were concentrated in the aristocratic families. It was not obvious that ordinary people could participate in the imperial examination.
However, Liu Chan didn't care even if it was an aristocratic family.
There are so many official positions. If your brother takes it, you won't have any role. If the eldest son takes it, it won't matter if you're born of a concubine.
However, it's different after you participate in the imperial examination. You, the son of a concubine, can also hold a high position.
The system of inspection and recommendation should be changed.
In the past, the officials, marquises, and county governors were the central and local officials stipulated by the emperor's edict. They would regularly or temporarily inspect and select talents within their jurisdiction and recommend them to the court. Now, they had changed the number of scholars in their jurisdiction to report to me and then conduct a unified examination.
Then, according to your examination results, you will be assigned an official position.
Don't be afraid if your results are low, even if you are just a small Ninth Pin. The central government will set up the Beijing Inspection System.
It's specially to assess your political achievements.
Set a benchmark, and if you do it, you'll be promoted.
It was not impossible for a minor official to become a high-ranking official in the central government.
It was not like the Cao Wei's nine-grade system, where there was no social class mobility.
At the same time, Liu Chan made a request.
He had to learn how to make paper on a large scale, as well as printing techniques.
He couldn't let the upper echelons of society monopolize culture. He had to make culture cheap.
Paper making and printing techniques had to be promoted on a large scale.
The bamboo slips had to be replaced.
Although paper had already been made in the Western Han Dynasty, it was not immediately widely used as the main writing medium. After Cai Lun improved the paper making technique, the quality of the paper could meet the requirements of writing. Only then did paper gradually move into the field of social writing. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was still in the process of promotion. In the Jin Dynasty, the popularity of paper was even higher.
Liu Chan proposed a large-scale paper-making process and printing.
In short, he had to make paper replace paper quickly and gradually. He had to make printing spread quickly so that it would be convenient to spread culture.
After that, Liu Chan still proposed an official school.
It was the government that promoted writing so that the people could read and write.
Secondly…
Liu Chan proposed to be an official in another place.
In other words, the officials of Yizhou would go to the nine counties of Jing and Xiang, and the officials of the nine counties would come to Yizhou. Of course, this was nothing new. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already used this trick.
Previously, Liu Bei's territory was too small, so he had no choice but to use the locals as officials.
But now, he had crossed the Jing and Yi states, which meant that he had the foundation to become an official in a foreign land.
If they were not local officials, there would be no conflict of interest. If they wanted to be promoted, they had to obediently listen to the orders of the central government. If they completed the KPIs, they would have the possibility of being promoted. If they failed, they would also have the means to punish them. In short, they had to tear down these aristocratic families.
