Chapter 1235
Looking down from above, the Taiping Dao's range is full of vitality, and it is almost rare to see any evil energy.
Obviously, in this troubled world, under the rule of the Taiping Dao, it is relatively peaceful and tranquil; that majestic luck seems to be gestating a true dragon, but this true dragon is a bit different from the previous true dragons.
Su Fan knows clearly that this is because the Taiping Dao's regime is not a feudal dynasty like the past.
If Zhang Jiao did not let him down, he had already made it clear from the beginning.
Although many disciples were very confused at the time, they still firmly executed it.
And the various talents who later joined the Taiping Dao were mostly admiring Zhang Jiao's choice; those people were all smart people and quickly understood that Zhang Jiao's idea was to explore a new regime and way out.
He was very impressed by Zhang Jiao giving up such great power.
After all, if the former chose the path of the previous emperors, then his family would be the royal family in the future, but choosing the current path, his descendants might still be qualified to sit on that supreme throne, but they would also have to compete.
This is different from the previous kind.
Previously, it was the royal family members competing; now, everyone in the world has the opportunity to compete.
From then on, the "family world" is gone; it will become the abdication system of ancient times; everyone does not know much about ancient history.
But during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the Human Emperor chose the successor, and the path Zhang Jiao chose was also similar to ancient times.
At the same time, the difference is that the Human Emperor is no longer the one who has the final say; he needs to decide with others in the team.
Many people don't know exactly how this system is, but at least in the more than a hundred years of implementation, whether in the center or locally, power has been relatively fair.
Especially locally, after the increase in administrative personnel, everyone performs their own duties; although the manpower has increased, it is much more convenient in handling government affairs, and various government orders are much smoother.
A government order can be responded to quickly from the top to the bottom, which is really much stronger than before.
Of course, power has been divided a lot; after all, in the local county towns before, there were three main officials: the county magistrate, the county assistant, and the county lieutenant, and the rest were the clerks in the county government.
Previously, the county magistrate was almost the one who had the final say locally; now the functions in the county have been divided into several parts; the county magistrate still exists, but there are several deputy county magistrates to assist the county magistrate in handling government affairs.
It is equivalent to decentralization; of course, with such restraint, the restraint on power also makes the local area relatively fairer.
Especially one of the deputy county magistrates is in charge of the power of investigating corruption, which can be the greatest vigilance against the excessive overflow of local power.
Such power dispersion and checks and balances can be seen by many smart people; of course, wanting to completely change corruption is naturally impossible.
It is just relatively, which can make the local area clear and government orders smooth, which can greatly improve the Taiping Dao's strength.
These government orders have great attraction for many small family disciples and poor family disciples.
They previously had five ways to become officials, but here in the Taiping Dao, because a large number of talents are needed to serve as local officials.
So although they were hostile by the great aristocratic families, the Taiping Dao still quickly absorbed Jizhou and the surrounding ten provinces in just a few decades.
At the same time, the Taiping Dao also attracted a group of talents with great ambitions, and there were more talents among the aristocratic disciples.
But it does not mean that the aristocratic families monopolized all the talents, and there were also some aristocratic disciples who did not identify with the aristocratic family's set.
There were also some disciples who "rebelled" against the aristocratic families.
Therefore, the Taiping Dao has been developing better and better over the years.
The land of twelve provinces is not the largest, but now after decades, the population has skyrocketed, almost reaching the peak among the several major warlords in the world.
The major warlords compete for the army, and the more people, the more troops.
The Taiping Dao's militia policy makes them have endless soldiers, because the Taiping Dao vigorously promotes agriculture, so that the common people under its rule no longer lack food.
In this way, in a certain period of time, the local common people, especially adults, will also have a period of training.
Militia training, although it is the most basic, is also very important; after all, with the foundation, they will quickly take shape after joining the army in the future.
In this point, compared to other warlords who directly forcibly plunder ordinary people into the army, the combat power is higher.
This is why the Taiping Dao was able to conquer the twelve provinces of the Central Plains so quickly.
The Central Plains aristocratic coalition led by Jizhou, although they had many elite private soldiers before.
But unfortunately, after all, it was just a coalition, each with selfish motives, unable to concentrate power in one piece.
Dealing with the Taiping Dao, which is very powerful in itself, is naturally useless.
Later, the fragmented resistance in the Central Plains was even weaker; most of them were peasant armies that had just joined the army, and even if they were armed with armor, they had no combat power.
The Central Plains warlords had no powerful army at all.
Nowadays, the elites of the several major warlords in the world are almost all in the north, especially the Yuan Prince's Mansion force that possesses cavalry, and Dong Zhuo's army in the northwest.
Of course, the Liu Han Imperial Court's heritage is there after all; centered on the Divine Capital Luoyang, the Sili region sits on five provinces, and because of the Taiping Dao's threat, many aristocratic families have to return to the Liu Han Imperial Court again.
It also allowed the Liu Han Imperial Court to reach a higher level of control over these five provinces.
Previously, the Liu Han Imperial Court's government orders might not even be able to get out of Luoyang.
Originally, the warlords were contending for hegemony, and after several local inspectors of the Liu Han Imperial Court were solved, it still declined.
After all, the current emperor is just a doll, and those Earth Immortal ancestors of Liu Han are just martial artists.
Most of the people in the court are people who fight for power and profit, and there is no hope.
But the emergence of the Taiping Dao made the aristocratic families feel a crisis; they did not want the Taiping Dao to succeed.
Once the Taiping Dao succeeds, their great aristocratic families will be unlucky in the future.
For this reason, they chose other warlords, but the twelve provinces of the Central Plains were continuously swept, and these great aristocratic families could only flee to other places.
The heritage of the great aristocratic families, especially those top-level aristocratic families, is still very deep.
Although their old homes were raided, it did not affect their strength; they still had enough manpower and financial resources.
The Yuan Prince's Mansion is one of their choices, and as the orthodox Liu Han Imperial Court, it is the choice of more aristocratic families.
After all, the Liu Han royal family's heritage is still very deep, as the veritable number one aristocratic family.
No one will refute it.
