Chapter 261: Authority in the Firmament
"Huh-"
The corners of Ji Mingwu's pursed lips outlined a meaningful smile, and he said to himself, "Then I'm quite looking forward to this little guy." β
Actually, the meaning of this is very simple.
Youzhou's total of 1.4 million troops cannot be completely reduced, and it will definitely leave enough garrison troops for large and small counties, prefectures, and counties in the future, but even so, it will leave a maximum of hundreds of thousands of troops.
And......
There is a very serious problem here, that is, there are more monks and less meat, and there are countless large and small Jiangmen families in the land of Youzhou, forming a huge and incomparable network of interests.
If you can eat more, he will eat less.
On the premise that it is impossible to rebel,
At this point, in fact, everyone is prepared, and even many years ago, some people began to seek a way back for this, such as Yuan Qianhong, the eldest son of the Yuan family, who embarked on the path of a civil official under Yuan Fulong's arrangement.
Just as the Lord Bo said to Li Xian that night.
In the future, the system of political and legal departments dominated by the Spiegel Division will be completely at its peak, and the imperial court will recruit disciples of famous families or private masters to use the Spiegel Division on extremely favorable terms.
Cooperate with the head catchers cultivated by the real government to carry out civilian security work.
In the world of high martial arts, it is almost inevitable to use force to control force.
meantime
The status of civil officials will be infinitely elevated, and more literati will spread the ideas of Legalism and Confucianism to every corner of the Great Jin Dynasty, which is the most ideal political policy in the future.
Inner saint and outer king.
However, this does not mean that the status of military generals has become completely worthless, but its upward momentum is very narrow and limited in comparison.
Let's not talk about the other fifteen states of the Great Jin Dynasty, just take Youzhou as an example......
Ji Mingwu already had a series of plans in his heart, that is, to divide the military and government first, and then to divide the people concentrated in the big city and establish counties, prefectures, counties, and cities all over Youzhou.
At the same time, it is the pace of disarmament.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
Such a reform,
Of course, it is not an overnight thing, in the heart of this ambitious emperor, it will take at least ten to twenty years to make Youzhou look again.
Ji Mingwu thought very simply, and it was very clear, he did it first and then said.
Any praying mantis that dares to stand in the way of the wheels of the general trend will be crushed into powder, and there will be no bones left.
Of course
Reform naturally has advantages and disadvantages, not all of which are disadvantages, if there is really no benefit at all, how can it be possible not to rebel?
The real high-level military leaders in Youzhou are all elites, and everything here can be seen clearly. For the Maison, this is an excellent kind of branching.
As for Li Xian......
To put it bluntly, it is a faΓ§ade, the faΓ§ade pushed out by Lu Guangxin, and his performance in front of Ji Mingwu in the future will affect Ji Mingwu's reform of the Youzhou army to a certain extent.
This is where the name Tinder comes from.
......
......
Ji Mingwu stretched out his hand and brushed the song on the desk, a pure white flame ignited, the song was ignited, and then it was extinguished.
At this time, he looked at the black-clothed man who had been kneeling down on one knee at the foot of the steps, Wang Qinghua, the head of the Youzhou Sitian Prison and the ghosts, and said slowly:
"Are all the statistics clear?"
Wang Qinghua swallowed his mouth and spit imperceptibly, and said softly: "Back to the saint, the large and small families in Youzhou have been counted clearly. β
After that, Wang Qinghua took out an extremely thick book from his arms, which was as thick as a palm, and handed it to Wei Qing, who came forward.
Ripples rise and fall.
After Wei Qing stretched out his hand to take it, he stepped on the steps and handed it to Ji Mingwu.
Ji Mingwu said: "Open it." β
The thick sound floated in front of Ji Mingwu, and then like an invisible palm slowly pulling it apart, dense Dajin characters appeared in front of him.
Although the text arrangement is extremely full, if you look at it, you can find that each family has a fixed order, and there is no headache.
Ji Mingwu glanced at it a few times and bowed slightly.
Snap,
The song suddenly closed and landed almost respectfully in front of the emperor's case.
Ji Yunxi looked at Wang Qinghua from top to bottom, and said in a flat tone:
"Well done. β
In fact, this is only one of the more important parts, and there are more identical notes behind, which not only have the details of the personnel of the major families in Youzhou, including the land under their control, the population servants who do not report it, etc......
truly
His reforms will make it easier for some already large families to spread out, but ...... Whether it is allowed or not, who becomes the vested beneficiary of this military and political reform depends on whether he nods or not.
Wang Qinghua was frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head, his voice trembled slightly and maintained extreme respect:
"This is what a minister should do. β
"Click...... Click...... Click......"
Ji Yunxi stretched out his fingers and gently tapped the notes on the case, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bright and sharp, and he only said one word and made the head of the Youzhou Ghost Department collapse to the ground.
"The population of the Bai family doesn't seem to be right. β
Although it is a doubtful word, it is indeed a positive tone.
It's over, and it's revealed. β
Wang Qinghua thought desperately in his heart.
He knew that he was dead, even if there was a deeper force hidden in the Ministry of Public Opinion, which was an intelligence agency, it was completely loyal to Ji Mingwu.
The face was like ashes, and the middle-aged face under the black mask turned pale in an instant, and all the strength of his body disappeared with this sentence.
Bai family, Youzhou Bai family.
It can be regarded as the top Jiangmen family, and it is still the attention of the Jiang family, the hardcore little brother.
The radiation scope of such a family is huge, and coupled with the particularity of Youzhou's own military and political integration, the Spiegel Division and Si Tianjian themselves are extremely close.
Coupled with the fact that Ji Mingwu has always delegated power to Youzhou, even Wang Qinghua, who is the head of the Youzhou Ghost Department, will inevitably get very close to the heads of several big families.
Why is the population wrong, so that this high-ranking and powerful head of the public opinion ghost is so frightened that his face is bloodless, and he collapses directly to the ground.
In fact...... This is a dead question that the family and the emperor can never avoid.
The family is the one who owns the most land, especially in Youzhou, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, a large number of people who can't survive have become serfs of the family, and the lives of generations of children and grandchildren have been sold.
In this way, the census has become the biggest problem.
For it is very useful to find out which is of great use to the country, to know the exact number of people in the place, the ratio of men to women, the level of education, the distribution of employment, the age structure, the number of old people, and the number of young and able.
The most important issue is taxation.
It's almost an unsolvable dead question.
whereas
The Bai family exceeded the number of serfs owned by the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was far more than a hundred times.
In fact, every few years, the Ministry of Public Opinion conducts a census of the population in each locality at the same time as the Spiegel Division, and then conducts a proofreading to see if anyone bends the law for personal gain, shields and connives.
Wang Qinghua dared to do this because he was the head of the Ghost Department, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was his Yiyantang, and he was very close to the Spiegel Division.
Fraud in this area has also become extremely easy.
Maybe
The first time he was nervous, the second time he was terrified, with his wife and beauty, gold and silver treasures, and all kinds of pills that only the top factions had.
Next
The third time was much more indifferent, and the fourth time was already accustomed.
People are doing it, and the "sky" is watching.
Si Tianjian.
At this time, two black shadows suddenly appeared around Wang Qinghua, and a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair hit his body, and before the severe pain attacked, he was escorted down by the black shadow.
The so-called poison is simply to destroy the qi and qi and blood in his body.
If you want to die, it's not that simple!
He will spend the next period of time in a dark prison, how the ghosts will examine the prisoners, Wang Qinghua himself is very clear, he will pour beans to say the truth, after all, he is an important witness.
Until the remaining value is squeezed dry.
moreover
As the head of the Ghost Sect, he would suffer a death that was ten thousand times more painful than Ling Chi.
Since standing in this palace, whether it is suicide or desperate fight, it is not up to him to decide, which is why he is so desperate.
Ji Mingwu closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the soft collapse.
In fact, this point was not beyond his expectations.
This is the inevitable consequence of decentralization, the cause of what he planted in the day, and the fruit that he gets today.
The Great Jin Dynasty was founded for 500 years, and the emperors of the upper and lower generations are all Ming lords and male masters!
But he has always maintained the best attitude of trust in Youzhou, so that its military and political affairs are integrated, and it seems that both the monarch and the minister are suitable, but in fact, as early as the beginning, this knife has been prepared a long time ago.
When to cut it down depends on how the emperors of later generations decide.
"When will Yunxi arrive?" Ji Yunxi opened his eyes and asked.
Wei Qing arched his hand and said softly:
"Back to the saint, the second prince will arrive at the palace early tomorrow morning. β
Ji Mingwu bowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"This kid knows that he has disobeyed his will, and he dares to come to me, which is really pampered and arrogant. β
Wei Qing also smiled at this time, but did not answer.
Ji Yunxi is indeed the most pleasing to Ji Mingwu, not the kind of prince who is good at acting, flattering, and flattering, but the heart that has persisted for more than 20 years and is like his son.
The eyebrows and eyes are like, the appearance is like, and the original heart is also like!
Ji Mingwu got up, walked down the steps, and said with a smile: "Accompany me." β
"Whoa!"
Wei Qing waved his hand and pulled it horizontally, and a snow-white daze suddenly appeared in his hand and gently draped it on Ji Mingwu's body.
"What do you think...... Do I need this?"
Ji Mingwu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Wei Qing also smiled:
"This is a part of the minister's heart. β
If you were to be another courtier, you would be afraid that you would collapse to the ground immediately when you heard this, but if this sentence was said by Wei Qing, who had served two generations of emperors, it would be a real heart.
"Let's go......"
Ji Mingwu walked in front, and Wei Qing followed behind.
The palace gates open automatically.
Pacing in front of the steps,
This lord of the world stands on the top of the dome, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance.
This is Youzhou!
Countless Suzaku flags swayed in the wind and snow at his feet.
Hu Ben Zhonglang saw Han Li pacing out of Ji Mingwu and immediately knelt down on one knee.
At the same time, the sound of armor and iron pieces continued to be one.
The high-pitched and impassioned voice shook the world.
"My Emperor. β
"My Emperor. β
"My Emperor. β
Ji Mingwu just stroked his beard lightly, without the slightest fluctuation on his face, he seemed to be enjoying it, and as if he had long been accustomed to such a mountain voice.
His gaze retracted from the mountains and rivers in the distance, and looked at the palace complex hidden in the darkness below.
A faint flash of fire, flickering.
that
It is the place where Lu Taishou rested tonight.
