The advent of idleness Chapter 50 The Artifact of Statecraft
In the imperial study, it seems to be a small court meeting, the prime minister, the captain, the household department book, and the military department book are all there, and the only one who seems abrupt and redundant is Li Xipin.
Several people discussed and admonished, but instead of solving the problem, they quarreled with each other.
Naturally, the civilian officials supported the need to settle the inside before the outside world, while the military attachés were much simpler, clamoring vigorously to send troops to fight back.
For a while, the emperor's face was even more unsightly.
"Don't make any noise! Now that the territory of the Northern Star Kingdom has not been completely digested, coupled with the fact that the Three Kingdoms are attacking on a large scale, and there are three counties, millions of civilians have been affected, are you still in the mood to quarrel in my imperial study?"
The emperor sharply stopped the meaningless quarrel of several people, and leaned back on the back of the chair weakly, his expression full of helplessness and fatigue.
Li Xipin didn't want to say much about the affairs of the court, but when he saw the emperor like this, he couldn't help but speak.
"Is there enough food and grass in the treasury?"
Seeing that it was Li Xipin who opened his mouth to ask, Liu Shen, the head of the household, naturally did not dare not answer, and now Li Xipin is no longer just the simple identity of the "son's friend" at the beginning.
"Yes, but if you provide disaster relief to the three counties at the same time, millions of victims, I'm afraid it won't last long."
"Needless to say, grain relief is a top priority, and if we try to find a way in the future, we can't let people starve to death. How many people are there in the army of the Three Realms, and the existing forces are likely to resist, even if it is just for defense?"
After Li Xipin finished talking to Liu Shen, he then turned his gaze to the Taiwei.
Hearing this, the Taiwei said without thinking: "There are more than one million enemy troops on each side of the three realms, and the standing border army of our dynasty is only 200,000. It is impossible to resist the invasion of the three kingdoms at the same time."
"Since you can't resist it, don't resist it, increase the sacrifice in vain, retreat the border army to a safe place to garrison, and I will solve the invasion of the Three Kingdoms"
After Li Xipin finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds, don't blame me! I will briefly tell me what I think, you listen, whether it can be done or not is up to you."
The first is to immediately release grain for disaster relief and quell the internal turmoil; second, while gathering the border troops in one place, we should hurry up conscription, and the conscription policy can be appropriately changed compared with the past, for example, those who join the army at a time when the country is in danger will have their salaries doubled, and those who join the army will be given rations on a monthly basis, and so on.
I will send my men to temporarily contain the invasion of the Three Kingdoms, but in the end, it is up to you to solve the problem. I suggest that the forces of one country should counterattack the next country first, and I think that the food stored in one country will be enough to solve the disaster this time.
When the internal and external troubles are fully solved, just wait... Those people came to the door. If you want me to say, although the situation of the dynasty is dangerous this time, if it can survive safely, it is possible to advance to the empire within a few years."
Li Xipin's voice fell, and the imperial study fell into silence. Several people, including the emperor, frowned and pondered, obviously seriously thinking about the feasibility of the plan proposed by Li Xipin.
In the end, Cheng Yuan spoke first: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Master Li's words are feasible, and the old minister agrees!"
Tobe Shangshu is a die-hard fan of the emperor, so naturally he will not express his opinion before the emperor. And after the prime minister, the Taiwei also opened his mouth to express his approval.
In the end, the emperor also nodded and agreed, and a hint of ruddy finally appeared on his pale face, and the smile was on the corner of his mouth again, and even those eyes were full of joy.
A blessing in disguise!
A great crisis must be accompanied by a great opportunity.
If you can really survive this catastrophe safely, the dynasty's promotion to the empire is indeed just around the corner!
"Master Li, who do you think is appropriate to hand over the disaster relief to do?"
Li Xipin didn't know what the emperor's intention was by asking, but he quickly spoke.
Zhao Mingtang, the son of Zhao Zhongren, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, is a shrewd and flexible man, and should be the best assistant.
The two cooperate, learn from each other's strengths, and complement each other. These two people are my friends, and I am convinced of their character.
Also, I have recently researched and produced a new set of systems, and I will recommend them to Your Majesty before I have time, so I will give them to you today.
This new system is called the virtuous and virtuous general system, as the name suggests, it is to help His Majesty cultivate virtuous and virtuous generals.
The name of the virtuous and virtuous system is one, but it is actually two, so far, I can only make the virtuous and virtuous system, and when there are more bound officials, the virtuous general system can be made."
Everyone's attention was originally on the disaster relief candidates recommended by Li Xipin, but as the topic of Li Xipin changed, everyone was deeply attracted by this virtuous and good general system.
The emperor was naturally most interested, and couldn't wait to ask, "How does this system of virtuous ministers and good generals help me train officials?"
The four people in the audience also followed the emperor's question, and all their expectant eyes focused on Li Xipin.
"The system will force the bound officials to complete in the form of self-release tasks, and then evaluate the level according to the degree of completion of the task by the officials, and issue rewards, the level is one to five stars, and the rewards are also one to five stars, and the reward content is either cultivation, or life, or money and treasures, or... A good way to govern the country.
For example, if His Majesty randomly sends a few mediocre or corrupt officials who are bound to the virtuous and corrupt system, and the system also issues the task of disaster relief at the same time, then the actions of these officials will be monitored by the system, and finally, evaluated.
If a mediocre official is not good for disaster relief, he may not only not be rewarded, but will directly lose his life, and if those corrupt officials and corrupt officials are greedy for food and grass in the process of disaster relief, the result may only be one star, not only will they not be rewarded, but they are likely to be punished by confiscation of illegal income.
And if the mediocre official can do things seriously according to the step-by-step instructions of the system and complete the task, he is not necessarily weaker than the prime minister, and the settlement reward may also transform a mediocre person into a generation of virtuous ministers;
If that corrupt official is bent on the cause of the disaster, does his best, and does not be greedy for ink or bribes, he will not be rewarded for the settlement of the system, and he will be much more greedy for ink."
Li Xipin patiently explained, what he said was clear, after several people heard this, Gu's face changed greatly, the emperor's face was full of excitement and joy, and the prime minister and the other four were worried.
Everyone can compare with them, and their status is not precarious?
After the emperor was excited, he ignored the four people and asked Li Xipin again.
"I have always known that Master Li's system is rewarded only if it is paid, so I don't know this system of virtuous ministers and good generals, what should I or that official pay?"
The emperor can be regarded as asking the point, the two pseudo systems newly unlocked by Li Xipin rely on the several pseudo systems launched earlier to operate normally.
For example, the rewards, the spirit stones, cultivation, and life in them are all taken from the hosts of several other pseudo-systems, and those knowledge types are directly given in the form of indoctrination after the father of the system collects all the information in this world.
Such a powerful pseudo-system does not require any effort from the host.
At the beginning, Li Xipin felt unbelievable, but after the father of the system explained, he knew that what the host needed to pay was an intangible thing.
As for what it was, the father of the system never told Li Xipin, and Li Xipin had no choice but to give up.
It's just that Li Xipin won't say anything about this.
"The system of virtuous ministers and good generals is all for the service of His Majesty, and naturally this price should also be paid by His Majesty, but who said that our relationship is different now, and it is for the country and the people, so... I'll just pay for it at my own expense, and I'll take it as a dowry..."
If you don't take advantage of it, how can it be Li Xipin?
"Haha... Li Shi Gaoyi, the matter between you and Yao'er, after this turmoil, I will definitely call the shots"
When the emperor got this artifact of governing the country, he was happy in his heart and couldn't stop laughing.
Although the prime minister, Taiwei and others were quite uncomfortable and uneasy in their hearts, they had no choice but to endure and congratulate them.
Fortunately, the emperor saw through everything and made a guarantee in time.
"Rest assured, Aiqing, even if the abilities of everyone in the world are comparable to yours, I also value you more, after all, they are just relying on the power of the system, in the final analysis, it is still the work of Master Li.
All Aiqing will live up to me, I will live up to you, don't worry!"
After the emperor finished speaking, the four of them were happy, but Li Xipin looked thoughtful.
Since ancient times, the family has controlled the court in a day, and the intertwined relationship is too complicated, even this world and this country cannot escape.
Privileges, everywhere!
Sincerely for the country and the people, don't do too much, Li Xipin doesn't bother to pay attention to it!
What's more, the world is so big, Li Xipin's road is still very long, can he stay here for a lifetime?
