Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 853 Solve all the problems in one night

Chapter 853 All problems solved overnight

Da Cang Palace, Zijin Pavilion.

Sitting in the pavilion, Ji Guang looked down at the memorial on the table, his brows were furrowed tightly.

Ge Xin stood beside him, looking at the memorial, looking at Ji Guang, also a little fascinated.

Everyone in the world admires the Nine-Five Supreme Being, but she is probably the only one who understands that the Nine-Five Supreme Being also has troubles.

She understands Ji Guang's troubles because of a conversation between Ji Guang and her...

More than a month ago, she inadvertently asked a question: "Your Majesty, why don't you like to work in the Zhengde Palace, but prefer the Zijin Pavilion?"

This is a fact, as long as His Majesty is not in the Great Dynasty, he is basically in Zijin Pavilion.

But no one dared to ask, and only Ge Xin dared to ask.

Ji Guang answered her: "Because I am in the Zijin Pavilion, I can feel my father staring at me, so I dare not act recklessly!"

This answer moved Ge's heart.

As the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, her husband has already reached the pinnacle of power in the entire Great Cang, and he is afraid of losing his heart.

How many emperors in the world have done things like punishing ministers and killing the queen mother in order to cut off the shackles?There is only Ji Guang, who obviously has no restraints, but creates a restraint by himself, using the illusory restraint of his father's spirit in the sky to alert himself.

Ge Xin didn't know how to comment, but she was very pleased.

In Zijin Pavilion, she saw Ji Guang's frown countless times, because the current situation is very difficult...

To be precise, this difficulty is also self-inflicted...

If Ji Guang chooses to govern in the same way as Ji Shang, and if he gets along, he can fly in style, just like what Lin Su said that day, we have to thank Ji Shang, he left such a mess, no matter how he messes up, he is better than him Well, even if you don't do anything, as long as you don't put in the effort to compete with Ji Shang, you will probably manage better than Ji Shang.

However, Ji Guang is unwilling to be lonely!

So is Lin Su!

Therefore, after a meeting in Xishan, the three major national policies were simultaneously implemented.

These three major national policies are a bottomless pit. Once implemented, Ji Guang's head will get bigger...

"Your Majesty, one of your three major national policies is more difficult than the other, and His Highness King Wen doesn't know where he has gone, and he didn't come to help His Majesty share his worries..." Ge Xin couldn't bear to see Ji Guang worrying there.

As soon as Lin Su was mentioned, Ji Guang's face relaxed miraculously: "He, this time he ran really far. The secret guard just reported back. He was in Guancheng of the buried state half a month ago."

"The dark guards report directly to His Majesty?" Ge Xin frowned.

Ji Guang smiled softly: "It was arranged by me. You are pregnant, so you should not work too hard. Therefore, I told them not to disturb the imperial concubine about the secret guard."

Ge Xin shook her head lightly: "The concubine can ignore other things, but the matter of the secret guard is related to the safety of your majesty, how can I ignore it? Your majesty, this matter has to be taken over by the concubine."

"Okay! Everything depends on you!" Ji Guangdao: "The thing that the dark guard is focusing on right now is the agreement with commoners on Dongting Lake. This matter is quite unusual. You need to choose capable generals..."

At this moment, the voice of the good man came from outside: "His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wen has arrived and has arrived outside the Zijin Pavilion."

Ji Guang's voice stopped abruptly, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared on his face: "This kid is back!"

Ge Xin chuckled: "Your Majesty, the concubine can't accept what you said, and the concubine dare not call His Highness King Wen... disrespectful."

"What's the matter? You are his sister-in-law!" Ji Guang stood up and walked to the Zijin Pavilion in a few steps...

As soon as he arrived, Lin Su's handsome figure also appeared in front of him...

"See..."

"No!" Ji Guang stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Su's shoulder: "Come in!"

The eunuchs outside were all dumbfounded...

Your Majesty is really different to King Wen. He even omitted a normal salute as much as possible.

As soon as Lin Su entered the Zijin Pavilion, he saw Ge Xin, who greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty mentioned the prince just now, and the prince has already appeared in front of His Majesty before he finished speaking. You really have a good understanding."

Lin Su laughed: "What did you say about me?"

"Said you were in the funeral state half a month ago." Ji Guang said together: "Brother, sit down!"

"As for your news, if you say you are well-informed, you are also well-informed, but if you say you are not well-informed, you are not well-informed!" Lin Su said with a smile: "It is true that I was in the funeral state half a month ago, but in the next half month, the place I will go is A lot."

"Oh? Where?"

"Entered the burial area, met the burial king, entered the temple, met the saint, went to the northern border, and traveled the three thousand miles of the past. Awake……"

Ji Guang was fascinated infinitely: "Don't tease me there, if you tease me again, I'll push you to sit in this position for a few days, and I'll travel the world on your behalf..."

Lin Su laughed loudly: "Do you look like a king?"

"How is it not like a monarch? Let me tell you, the position of a monarch is a bottomless pit..."

"What's wrong? Are you worried?" Lin Su stared at him.

"Does this need to be asked?" Ji Guangchang sighed: "Your three national policies back then were all troubles, and you still asked me if I had troubles, so I asked you, is there any reason not to be troubled?"

"Okay, okay, tell me, where are the troubles?"

Ji Guang hesitated for a moment: "I'd better let them come over, we are in Zijin Pavilion today, we have smashed all the problems encountered by the three major national policies, let's talk about it..."

About a quarter of an hour!

A bunch of people gathered in Zijin Pavilion...

Prime Minister Zhou Zhang, University scholar Zhang Juzheng, President of Bailu Academy Chen Geng, Zhang Haoran, Qiu Mochi, Li Yangxin, Huo Qi.

The row of bitter gourds that they were struggling on the same line that day, now together constitute the members of the Zijin Pavilion meeting.When everyone saw Lin Su, they all smiled happily, and even Zhang Juzheng showed surprise on his face.

Ge Xin hid, she only appeared in front of Lin Su, and it was inappropriate for her to show her face when the other important officials arrived.

Ji Guang said earlier that today's meeting is not a formal court meeting, so everyone should not be cautious and let go to discuss all issues.

Zhang Haoran reports first...

He is the minister of the Ministry of War, and he carried out the military reform. The military reform is relatively less difficult. The whole society values ​​civility over military affairs. For soldiers, the ministers of the DPRK and China do not particularly value soldiers. There may be a rebound in increasing the number of troops, but streamlining the army and simplifying administration will reduce the number of military personnel. Expenses, there is no reason to object.

Therefore, the military reform was passed directly at a large level.

However, in the actual implementation process, there are also considerable problems. The problems mainly focus on two points. One is that some generals can’t let go of the position of commander-in-chief and refuse to hand over military power. Under such circumstances, His Majesty did not relent, and ordered several commanders to be dealt with. Li Xiaotian, Nan Wang, Lin Zheng and other commanders told the whole army: If any army does not obey the orders of the Ministry of War, the Cangshan Army will be punished. , Flying Dragon Legion, and Blood Rain Pass Legion must be suppressed!

Under such iron and blood pressure, the armies did not dare to act rashly, and the policy level cleared the obstacles, at least no one dared to oppose it openly.

The second problem is the only problem, placement!

Tens of millions of soldiers, how to resettle them, some of these people are disabled, some have lost their hometowns, and their land is gone. If they are ignored and directly exiled, they may not be able to survive.

After finishing the first question, Zhang Haoran looked very serious: "Brother Lin, we are all people who have been on the battlefield, and we all know the dedication and sacrifice made by the soldiers. You also asked for compensation for [-] heroes in the past. If you let them Living on the streets like this, I believe you can't bear it either."

He didn't ask His Majesty, because he knew that His Majesty had nothing to do.

Lin Sudao: "Da Cang's 2000 million soldiers, at this moment, cut off 500 million or more, involving a wide range of areas. As Brother Haoran said, they have shed blood and sacrificed on the battlefield for generations. They cannot be allowed to bleed and cry. Veterans will be given enough resettlement allowances, disabled soldiers will be given disability subsidies, and those who have no home, we will give them a new home!"

Everyone looked at each other...

He answered the dilemma Zhang Haoran raised in a few words, and he was more straightforward than Zhang Haoran, the minister of the Ministry of War, but...

"Brother Lin, the treasury is really out of money!" Huo Qi said.

Huo Qi, the left servant of the household department, he saw that the topic turned to the issue of money, full of resentment, brother Lin, with a stroke of a pen, enough compensation, resettlement allowance, and disability, all of which require money Ah, the treasury is empty, how can I pay for it?

You are setting me on fire.

Everyone focused on Lin Su's face...

Lin Su smiled: "The state treasury just doesn't have money right now, but it doesn't mean it will never have money. Brother Huo, what will happen if the people don't have money for a while?"

"The only way is to borrow money!" Huo Qi said.

"That's right, the people have no money to borrow, and the country can borrow even if they have no money!" Lin Su said: "We can introduce a new concept called 'national debt'! We print and issue a batch of national debt, and agree on an appropriate interest rate. People with money can buy it voluntarily, and treat it as an investment. Faced with this group of soldiers who need to be resettled, they can also directly give this national debt. They can use this national debt to buy rice, noodles, fields and land, and no one is allowed to refuse it! "

Ji Guang's eyes brightened...

National debt?

new concept?

This seems...seems to work!

God can testify that his head has been getting dizzy these days, and the most worrying thing is money. If Lin Su said, wouldn't the most difficult problem be solved?

Zhou Zhang pulled his beard desperately: "The emperor borrowed from the common people, this... this seems a little out of place."

"There's nothing unseemly about it. Before the sages made their fortunes in the past, they used to borrow debts to survive. As long as they accept the debts and pay back the principal and pay the interest, this old man thinks it's a new way!" Zhang Juzheng said.

Chen Geng nodded: "I think it is indeed a new way. The people deposit their silver in the bank, and the bank notes issued by the bank are popular all over the world. No one doubts it. A country's dynasty is guaranteed by the reputation of the dynasty. Isn't it better than a bank? National debt , it should be harder than a silver ticket!"

The two big brothers made such a definite statement, and everyone agreed with it!

"Everyone agrees?" Lin Su said: "If you agree, then I have to explain in detail the key points of this national debt... First of all, the total amount must be controlled. The total amount should not exceed the total tax revenue of a year, and it is not suitable for one-time use. Enough, in batches and in installments..."

Ji Guang frowned slightly: "And why?"

Lin Su said: "This involves a profound knowledge called economics. If there are too many national bonds issued and too dense, it will cause the prices of various goods in the market to skyrocket. Therefore, we must act cautiously on this issue, and would rather be slow." A few, don’t hurry! Everyone, remember to remember!”

Ji Guang nodded lightly: "Everything is up to you, tell me, are there any other taboos?"

"In the matter of national debt, the second key point is anti-counterfeiting. At least one country's national debt has higher anti-counterfeiting technology than bank notes, right? If there are counterfeit products, it will really hurt the people and the foundation of the country."

Everyone nodded in unison. You can rest assured on this point. Bank notes are popular all over the world and can be controlled. Naturally, a country's national debt can be controlled even more.

Everyone has no objection to this, and the first problem is easily solved.

Lin Su's heart was pounding, damn it!I introduced the concept of currency. If the national debt is not signed and if it is negotiable, it is basically no different from currency.

Regarding currency, many feudal dynasties have tried it, and most of them failed. However, it is purely because the executives do not understand economics and finance. As long as His Majesty and the people in the Ministry of Finance have more common sense about the economy, the concept of currency can still be promoted. of.

Currency plays an unparalleled role in the feudal dynasty. Once this door is opened, the whole society will come alive.

The issue about military reform was satisfactorily resolved, Zhang Haoran was so excited...

It also stimulated Li Yangxin, he is from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his first priority is to grasp the water conservancy of farmland in various places...

He raised a question, and his question was about efficiency. Is there any good tool that can quickly promote the progress of cement production and farmland water conservancy transformation? It is only half a year before the rainy season next year. He is worried that when the rainy season comes next year, the progress will be slow. Keeping up will fail to realize his ambition of basically eliminating floods within a year.

When this question was raised, everyone rolled their eyes at each other. Shouldn't you ask the Ministry of Industry this question?

Ask him?

However, with Lin Su in hand, with a pen in hand, he drew a few sketches...

"This is a unicycle with a very simple structure, but when used on a construction site, it is at least three times more efficient than manpower!"

"This is a conveyor belt, which is mainly used to extract ore from mines. Although it is still human and animal power in essence, the efficiency of transporting materials is at least ten times higher!"

"This is a waterwheel. Haining has used it for more than two years. I don't think it's used anywhere. Please, I, Lin Suzhen, have no idea of ​​charging patent fees. If you can use it, use it..."

"This is a mountain-breaking hammer. In fact, it has no technical content at all. It is just a hammer, but this handle is soft. The soft handle is used to hit rocks, and it has a stronger impact than a hard hammer."

"This is a crane. With this thing, an ordinary person can lift a huge boulder. Brother Li, don't look at me like that. Believe it or not, you have to try it first..."

For the five sketches, Li Yangxin blinked and was completely stunned for a moment...

"Okay! Let's talk about the most difficult question!" Lin Su clapped his hands...

The most difficult question has always been the question of tax reform...

Everyone here has worked hard on this issue...

Chen Geng gave a lecture in Bailu Academy, from a historical point of view, he talked about the painful lessons of not treating the people kindly, and this tax system is to treat the people kindly.

Zhang Juzheng was discussing Taoism in Wenyuan Pavilion. What he focused on was a feeling, literary Taoism, the holy way, the holy way, and the way to help the people. Literati are respected by the whole people, and of course they should also become a model for the whole people. It is shameful to be a moth lying on the people to suck blood, and it is shameful to enjoy privileges and self-interest.

What about their arguments?

very successful!

Dao realm flowers bloom at the scene!

The literati sparked extensive discussions, and generally tended to agree.

However, the actual operation is a matter of another level...

Heavy resistance!

Most people are still profit-seeking, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but full of personal calculations in their hearts.

They can persuade others to be upright, but when it is their turn, they have other ideas.

They are not willing to let them give up their privileges over the years and pay taxes with real money. Therefore, the bureaucrats in the capital have ideas, and the bureaucrats in various places have ideas. ...

"The heavens have the bones of hate counselors, and the earth is silently undercurrents"!

These are the two poems that are widely circulated. What do they mean?

Da Cang is unconventional, pointing the finger at the scholar class, knocking out the bones, don't think that the scholars are easy to bully, there are voices of opposition everywhere, and undercurrents are surging all over the world!

Hearing these two poems from Zhou Zhang's mouth, Ji Guang frowned again.

If the issue of money added a few wrinkles to his forehead, the privilege of scholars was the reason why he had a few gray hairs.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, are social classes.

The doctor is the first.

Literati are respected, and in this special world, literati are destined to be a group that cannot be messed with.

Tax reform, pointing at all kinds of privileges, God testifies, privileged people are not to be messed with...

How to solve this set?

This is related to whether the world can truly enjoy long-term peace and stability.

Playing games with all kinds of privileged people, this may be his fate that he can't escape in his whole life...

Lin Su rested his chin on his hand, listening to what everyone said...

Finally, the audience was silent, and Lin Su slowly raised his head: "Since ancient times, revolution, it is easy to turn others, but it is extremely difficult to turn yourself, but it is not unsolvable!"

"Say it!" Ji Guang was excited.

Lin Sudao: "Scholars, who call themselves scholars, want privileges but are unwilling to take social responsibilities, are violating the holy words! Let us first look at the definition of scholars in the holy words: scholars, The way of yin and yang that connects the world, the way of the world is the way of the world, the law of the world is the law of the world, and the law of the world is the law of the world! Propagate for the sky, take the Tao as your own responsibility, forget your own selfishness, and become the public tool of the world... only know self-interest , who forgets the public interest, how can he be a scholar?"

Zhang Juzheng clapped his palms on the table: "Well said! Propagating for the heavens, taking the Tao as one's own responsibility, forgetting one's own selfishness, and being the public weapon of the world, one is a scholar, and the old man with the holy words will be engraved on the wall of Taoism immediately. , in the name of Wenyuan Pavilion, return the scholar's correct answer!"

"Wonderful! In the name of the righteousness of the holy words, return the righteous solution of the world! This is the right move!" Chen Geng said: "His Royal Highness King Wen should have a follow-up!"

Lin Sudao: "After the positive move, it should be a strange move... Facing tens of thousands of scholars, we can introduce a new concept called 'Shipai'!"

"What is Shipai?"

"Wenyuan Pavilion will determine whether this person is a scholar based on his behavior! Those who meet the conditions of a scholar will have a 'shiba' engraved, and the local government will inlay it on the gate, which is prominent in the village..."

At the beginning of his interpretation, everyone looked at each other and frowned, but as his interpretation deepened, everyone's hearts were pounding...

I rely on!

This is poisonous!

Who in the world does not yearn for the golden signboard of scholars?

On the door is engraved with a license plate recognized by Wenyuan Pavilion and inlaid by the government itself.

This seems to be a reward and value for scholars, but in fact, the real learning comes later.

If you want to be certified, you must abide by the holy words. You are selfish, you forget public interests, you resist tax laws, you do bad things, and you are in the fish and meat town. You can never get this certification...

In this way, scholars in the world must obey the law!

Even not only obeying the law, he also has to win the reputation of the people and the local government!

Of course, word of mouth can be whitewashed and deceived, but as long as scholars have such a restriction on their heads, they will restrain a lot, and they have to do a lot of performance work. so important.

Therefore, this badge is a conspiracy!

It is aimed at the sense of honor of the scholars!

Scholars rely on their special status to obtain privileges, and now they also need to pay for their special status.

This is called using the way of the other, and giving it back to the other!

This is called wanting to wear a crown, bear its weight first!

Zhang Haoran laughed: "Your Majesty, I don't know if His Majesty agrees with King Wen's strategy, at least I admire you so much!"

Ji Guang also laughed loudly: "Has a legend been confirmed today? Is there really no problem in the world that King Wen can't solve?"

Hahahaha...

Everyone laughed...

In the Zijin Pavilion, the portrait of the late emperor was also blowing in the wind, and it seemed that they had also sensed their joy...

"All my lovers, go down, and fully implement the arrangement of His Highness King Wen!" Ji Guang said.

Everyone knelt down and bid farewell...

Lin Su got up to see them off, and after everyone left, he sat back again...

"Now it's time to talk about another matter!" Ji Guangdao: "You used to make moves on the chessboard, is it time to lift the lid now?"

Lin Su smiled: "Here we are! You and I can go to Bailu Academy right now!"

Ji Guang didn't say it clearly, and Lin Su didn't say it clearly, but they both knew each other.

The matter they mentioned was the mass exile of senior court officials, including Prime Minister Lu Tiancong and the six ministers, from the State Affairs Hall that day.

Exile from the State Affairs Hall is just a pawn on Lin Su's chessboard.

Nor are they just exiled.

The purpose of this chip is to fish!

These court officials are very delicious bait!

If there are forces from outside the region, if there are separatist forces planning to make trouble, these high-ranking officials will definitely become their targets, because they used to be in high positions. In fact, they are still in high positions at this moment-first-rank and second-rank officials, Members of the State Council!The emperor would consult with them on important matters. Look, what kind of status is this?Of course, whether the emperor actually approached them to discuss matters, whether there is a reality of "indifference and indifference", is not considered.

They are valuable resources in their own right.

Each of them has a lot of resources at their disposal.

These things are coveted by all forces, and these forces can understand the meaning of putting them in the State Affairs Hall, and they can also read their soaring complaints!

A group of people who are full of resentment against the current dynasty and have great use value, how can they be reconciled if they don't use it?

Therefore, whether it is Ji Guang or Lin Su, there is a basic judgment that those people from the outside world will definitely come to them!

Ji Guang's idea at the time was: send secret guards to monitor.

Lin Su rejected it!

No matter how much you monitor, you won't be able to prevent the pervasive infiltration, but you will startle the snake.

It would be better to be generous and not monitor at all!

Just let them open the box and shake it!

Anyway, the more pleasing they hook up, the more they will earn when they close the net!

Today is the time to close the net!
