Fifth Qi was nervous, and suddenly an assistant came to report, and Doctor Qin asked him to see him immediately.

"What should come will always come, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on this experience!"

Gritting his teeth, Fifth Qi made a simple explanation to Yin Shiyi, he may now be trapped in a whirlpool and unable to protect himself, and of course he will not have the opportunity to protect and promote these cronies in the future. Moreover, Huang Jing's backlash made him very sad, and he has always spared no effort to promote these henchmen, who would have thought that he would immediately turn against him because of an unforeseen accident.

In the future, even if there is a day when the crisis is safely passed, I am afraid that the fifth Qi will only have a little more doubts and less trust in everyone around him in his heart.

It was already getting dark when he left the government hall, and the curfew had begun an hour earlier, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army who were in charge of patrolling the city carefully checked his pass and questioned him as he could, before the convoy of the prime minister was released. Due to the recovery of Chang'an not long ago, the security in the city is still in a state of unpeace, and in order to prevent accidents, the curfew is still at the highest level.

The carriage swayed northward, shaking the fifth Qi even more upset, even in the face of the Son of Heaven, the nervous state of mind is only like this. At present, the authority of the ministers is far greater than that of the Son of Heaven, and the fate of the Tang Dynasty is not something he can care about and influence, but now even his own fate has become like duckweed on the water in a storm, and he doesn't know where he is going to drift.

The short three miles had never felt so long, and it was like the most difficult three years for Fifth Qi, until the carriage suddenly stopped, and the loud inquiring voices of soldiers came from outside, and he knew that he had arrived at the place.

The Shuai Hall of the Shenwu Army was originally the temporary office of the Shenwu Army, and now it has become the center of Chang'an City and even the imperial court, and all government decrees and policies are derived from this.

Fifth Qi got out of the carriage with the support of his servants, and when he straightened his waist, he realized that the stars in the sky above his head were even more dazzling than the light of the torches jumping outside the gate.

"Doctor Qin has an explanation, the fifth minister can drive straight in when he arrives!"

In the past, of course, Fifth Qi would have swaggered and smug to accept this special treatment, but now he is in danger at any time, and the preferential treatment may become a shackle at any time, and he would rather walk in for the sake of caution.

However, after seeing Qin Jin, Fifth Qi's mood calmed down a lot. After all, he is the prime minister of the political hall, and he can barely control his emotions about gains and losses within the scope of reason. When Qin Jin met with ministers and officials, he was almost always immersed in disposing of official documents, not that he pretended to do so, but that there were so many official documents in the army that needed to be disposed of.

He was also pondering the idea of selecting some young and capable officials to help them deal with the complicated affairs, so that he could free up more energy to conceive the overall strategy.

"Come on, take a seat......

Qin Jin said casually without raising his head, his tone was very calm, and the fifth Qi couldn't guess Qin Jin's thoughts, so he sat down hard. As soon as he sat down, Qin Jin pointed to a thin stack of official documents on the public case in front of him and said:

"Look, the official document in front of you, what it says is true?"

Hearing this, Fifth Qi was shocked, and his intuition told him that what was recorded on this official document was definitely harmful and unprofitable to himself. In fact, this is indeed the case, the hand holding the official document is trembling, the more I look at it, the more frightened I become, and at the same time secretly scolding Huang Jing for being inferior to pigs and dogs, wolf-hearted dogs, and ungrateful......

Huang Jing not only explained all the illegal things in the fifth Qi, but also added a lot of oil and vinegar to the arrangement, and it is precisely because of this that he is extremely hateful, it is obvious that Huang Jing intends to drag him into the water in order to protect himself.

"Doctor Qin, this ...... Bloody mouth spews ......"

As for Huang Jing's accusations, Qin Jin knew that it was a mixture of truth and falsehood, but which of the officials in the court was clean? As long as Fifth Qi was not involved in colluding with Tibet or opposing the Shenwu Army, he was determined to protect this person.

Looking at the whole court, there are not many officials like the Fifth Qi who are as practical as the economy, and who are quite friendly to the Shenwu Army, and Huang Jing, who has a despicable character and average ability, will naturally not hesitate to choose between Huang Jing, who is inferior and capable.

"The fifth minister can rest assured, since he can see Huang Jing's confession here in Qin, it means that this confession will not be transmitted, not to mention that Huang Jing exposed the report in order to protect himself and intended to make meritorious contributions, there are many untruths in it, Qin will not listen to it and believe it!"

Qin Jin's words were like Huang Zhong Da Lu, and he immediately dispelled all the gloom in the chest of Fifth Qi, and with these assurances, although he survived this catastrophe, he still had palpitations, pointing to the confession and planning to defend it one by one, and even denying those false accusations one by one.

However, Qin Jin raised his head and waved his hand.

"Fifth Xianggong rest assured, Qin has a stick in his heart that he will not sway because of some words of some people, and let go to govern the economy, Qin is still waiting for your three-year contract to be fulfilled!"

Hearing this, Fifth Qi was greatly moved, and couldn't help but burst into tears, his mood fluctuated, and under the ups and downs, it was inevitable to be emotional, but he was more concerned that he finally didn't meet a boss who knew people and was good at it, and he could show his strengths. In the past, the intrigues and struggles in the officialdom far exceeded the political affairs, and in order to maintain the position of power, there was nothing that could not be sacrificed, and the corruption of the court situation was inseparable from this extremely bad atmosphere. Now, Qin Jin can give himself enough trust, and because of this, he has violated the previous principles and made a lot of compromises, so it is no wonder that Fifth Qi is grateful.

The three-year covenant in Qin Jin's mouth refers to the abundance of warehouses within three years, reversing the dilemma that the treasury has no money available. Fifth Qi dared to make these assurances, he had his own confidence, and in the later contacts and exchanges with Qin Jin, he found that this young martial doctor actually had some insight into the way of economy, and some aspects were even something he had missed or did not expect.

It is also because of this that Fifth Qi is even more cautious in his administration, because deceiving a knowledgeable boss is the most taboo for officials.

Qin Jin relaxed his robe, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"The fifth prime minister thinks about Huang Jing's case is complicated and serious, Zheng Xianli and Qing Xuzi's anger is understandable, but they are also aimed at the deduction of money and food, not against some people, and Huang Jing indiscriminately added fuel and vinegar in order to survive, this is his own death. ”

"Doctor Qin, I'm ......"

Fifth Qi wanted to say a few words to show his loyalty, but he felt that it was difficult to speak, Huang Jing was his negligence in employing people, anyway, he was a mistake at this point, and I am afraid that it would be laughed at by people if it was passed out, but it didn't seem to be a big deal in Qin Jin's mouth.

Qin Jin waved his hand again and said:

"Okay, don't dwell on Huang Jing's matter anymore, since you're here, let's talk about it, how are the county household registers organized?"

The most important thing in the world is the land of Henan and the land of Jianghuai, the land of Henan is the most affected by the war, and the population loss is five or six out of ten, while the Jianghuai place is limited by the size of the festival to make the yang and yin violated, and seven or eight out of ten counties are unable to count the specific number of people.

The household register is the foundation of the world's tax revenue, so the first step in clarifying the amount of income after the war is to clarify the population of each county.

At that time, in order to purge the remnants of Yongwang Li Yan and control the Jianghuai region, nearly ten jiedu envoys of all sizes were sealed in Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Huainan, and Huaibei, so that Jianghuai could be used as the foundation to respond to the imperial court's counterattack on the Luoyang traitors at any time.

Up to now, the Shenwu Army has completely mastered Gyeonggi Province and Dugi Province, the two core places of the Tang Dynasty, and the Jianghuai Jiedu envoys have naturally formed a group, and the court under the control of Qin and Jin Dynasty has been disobeyed.

Although the land of Jianghuai is not known for its military might, it has become one of the most important producing areas of grain and rice in the world since the opening of Yuan Tianbao, and if these places do not pay rent to the imperial court, the impact on the revenue of the government treasury will be extremely serious.

Fifth Qi believed that if Li Qing and the population of the Jianghuai region were to be completely destroyed, it was necessary to take action as soon as possible against those who were in favor of the yang and the yin and violated the temperance envoys, but he still had some different views and opinions on the governor system created by Qin and Jin, and at least for a few sections of the Jianghuai group, I am afraid that it would have little effect.

However, in the place controlled by the Shenwu Army, the governor and the jiedu envoy were in charge at the same time, and the two were orderly, but they checked and balanced each other, although they could not cure the root cause, but they could see immediate results.

Fifth Qi analyzed at length the various situations from the local to the imperial court, and finally concluded that the population loss of the imperial court was not small, but the population lost on the books was not necessarily all killed in the war, and a large part of them were taken in by the temples with strong local areas and a large number of land.

"The world has not yet been cleared, and the local heroes cannot move without permission, and the subordinates suggest that they first take the many temples all over the two provinces of Dugi and Gyeonggi to open the knife!"

The monks in the temple did not produce, but they owned a large amount of land, especially taking advantage of the frequent wars, annexing a large amount of land and population, and a large part of the population that disappeared from the register eventually flowed into the temple and became tenant farmers in the large amount of land in the temple. However, the production of these lands was due to the preferential policy of the imperial court, and there was no need to pay a grain to the government treasury.

"The subordinates suggested that the property of the temples in various places should be cleared, no, simply the Buddha statues should be destroyed, a large number of monks should be returned to the laity, and then the land should be redistributed and returned to those good families who have lost their land......"

The number of monks in various places is far beyond the imagination of the Qin and Jin dynasties, and the number of monks in Gyeonggi and Dugi alone has reached 500,000, and if these people are all retained, they can not only provide a large number of laborers, but also play a significant role in the recovery of the population.
