Chapter 363: The New Deal
Wang Yilong returned to the capital and settled down, Wang Yilong was the two important auxiliary ministers of the emperor Li Si, and the other was Yang Tong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Li Ju abdicated, the right to speak was not as powerful as when he was in power, but he also had a decisive weight, so the power of the northern kingdom was actually in the hands of the three of them.
Wang Yilong told the two of them the opinions raised by Su Man on the road, Yang Tong and Li Ju looked at each other, felt fresh, and brought Su Man himself to hear what she thought.
On this day, Li Ju asked people to invite Su Man, Su Man entered the hall in a sedan chair, and saw that Yang Tong Wang Yilong was also there, so he wanted to salute, Li Ju was anxious.
"Senior sister, don't scold us anymore, don't salute in the future!"
"yes!" Yang Tong looked at Su Man, his face changed, but he said: "When I see the emperor in the future, Miss Su Man doesn't have to kneel." The prince and I are courtiers, and no matter how old the elders are, they have to kneel in front of the emperor, but you are different, as the emperor's elders, if you don't serve in the court, you don't have to be courtiers! ”
Su Man saw Li Ju's purpose for recruiting him, so he said his thoughts without reservation.
The three of them looked at each other and made eye contact, and Li Ju asked Su Man, "Can you work like this?" Can the officials agree? ”
Su Man smiled and said to Li Ju: "If you want them to agree, it's harder than climbing to the sky!" Because it touches their interests! ”
"Isn't your idea impossible to implement?" Yang Tong said.
"Can't do it?" Su Man smiled, "If it starts with you and really does it for a month, I think, no one dares to object, the top and bottom dare not be crooked, as a implementation, it is not a discussion, but a compulsory implementation, the violator is dismissed, and the person who does not obey is killed!" ”
"Kill? Isn't that a bit ruthless? For the sake of the North, we can do it, or not? Will you try this? Yang Tong smiled and said to Su Man.
"Can the prime minister really do it?" Suman Road.
"I can really do it!"
"Good!" Su Man smiled and said to Li Ju: "You and the prince can also do it?" ”
"For the sake of the Northland, what is this?"
Both took a stand.
"Good!" Su Man said: "I should not come forward in this matter, or the emperor will promulgate it in the form of a law." ”
Yang Tong returned to the house, sat there, smiled, and thought to himself, Suman, Suman, I want to see what kind of ability you have to carry out this idealized law.
In order to make Su Man even more embarrassed, Yang Tong took the lead in implementing it when the ministers quarreled and opposed it one by one.
First of all, the Prime Minister's Mansion in accordance with the provisions of the law, thrifty, streamlining the redundant people in the house, the original Yang Mansion of 800 people, now there are 300 people left, every day, the master and the subordinate are the same, the main meal is one person and one dish, more than four people one soup.
Many courtiers opposed this law against officials, so they streamlined this part and some had to simply not enforce it.
A month later, in the morning, nearly twenty percent of the ministers were suddenly dismissed, and a small number of them were demoted, and the list of these people, even Li Juwang Yilong Yang Tong did not know, was completely drawn up by the law enforcement team ordered by the emperor, and Su Man did not let them look at it.
As early as the sun went up, one by one the officials were shocked, really?
However, the matter is far from over, and the public decree is announced.
"From now on, courtiers will come and go, no more than four dishes, no more than one soup, and those who violate the order will be dismissed from their posts and demoted at the least."
There is a courtier with a hard temper, and above the court, he took the lead in playing the emperor Li Si, and he was about to resign from his official position.
"I will play, Lord Li, after your officials retire from the court, they will immediately draw up new candidates, let me promulgate them at a glance, and take office the day after tomorrow!" Li sighed.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yang has been in office for many years, and he has fulfilled his duties, and the ministers can see it, the emperor must be cautious!" Some ministers came out and knelt on the ground to intercede for the negative official.
Li sighed: "Above the court, how can it be child's play? Since Lord Yang has the heart to resign, what is the benefit of staying? Retreat! ”
Above the court, looking at Li Si's retreating figure, the ministers were dumbfounded. Lord Yang opened his mouth even more, he was just talking, did the emperor really agree to his resignation?
The ministers knew that this was not what the emperor meant, the emperor didn't mean it, the emperor was still a child, this was what Su Man meant.
After the next court, some courtiers gathered and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Yang Tong, Yang Tong's face was solemn, this was promised by himself, in the implementation of the law, can he regret it?
Yang Tong said to these ministers: "Miss Suman implemented this set of laws, which was agreed by the King of Zhennan and the Emperor Taishang, none of us expected that she would come really, and so strictly!" ”
"How can it go on like this? We still collectively join forces to stop the implementation of such laws, what do the prime ministers think? "There is a minister.
Yang Tong shook his head, waved his hand, and said to them: "Everyone, it's useless, it's not me who has the final say, the king of Zhennan and the emperor will definitely suppress your joint name, you better do it yourself, don't make trouble for yourself, if it goes on like this, today's Lord Yang is your end, go back, the old man will not leave you to eat, four dishes and one soup, the old man really can't afford to lose this person, I hope you can understand the old man's suffering!" ”
One law after another was promulgated, the officials were streamlined, and the officials were streamlined.
Whoever has stolen a certain amount shall be killed, and those who gather a crowd to make trouble, and those who have robbed and deceived others shall be killed.
Those who gather crowds to make trouble in the countryside on weekdays will be killed if they are caught.
Some people are afraid, some people clap their hands and celebrate.
And that's not all, beggars from all over the country were repatriated one after another, and those who did not obey were killed, and those who returned to their places of origin were given public rations, and land was given to them to cultivate.
Immediately after that, another order was issued, the gold and silver treasures of the officials' families should not exceed a certain amount, and those who had more money should be handed over, and the past was not to blame, and once the violators were discovered, all the family property was confiscated and sent to the army.
The northern country was boiling, and after the deadline passed, some officials were raided, and for a while, the chickens and dogs jumped, and the people were panicked and complained.
Another law has been decreed that all official families are not allowed to engage in commerce, and those who do not obey can be dismissed from the official position and reappointed to engage in commerce.
Wang Yilong, Yang Tong, and Li Ju gathered, their faces were embarrassed, what did Su Man want to do? Now in the northern country, there is a lot of discussion, can it go on like this?
The three of them decided to have a deep talk with Suman in order to stop the implementation of such a ridiculous law.
"At the beginning, you agreed, why do you regret it now?" Su Man looked at each of them as if there was frost on his face.
"There is an old saying, called promotion and wealth, glory to the ancestors, although this saying is vulgar, but it can really make people forge ahead! But now, the officials have been stripped to the point that they have nothing left, and they are almost like the lives of ordinary people, and none of them have the confidence to continue. ”
Before Wang Yilong could finish his words, Su Man interrupted.
"Lord Wang, get promoted and make a fortune? Glory to the ancestors? Do you know how harmful such thinking can be? Why are there so many corrupt officials in various dynasties? It's a victim of such thoughts! Okay, the official doesn't want to do it, doesn't he want to try farming? Now, I'm going to try to let the officials work in the fields and let them taste the suffering of the people. ”
"Senior sister, you can't do this." Li Ju said: "Now you look at the chaos, the officials are complaining, if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be no government and no one!" ”
"Really?" Su Man smiled, "You've been talking about officials all along, why don't you go outside and listen to what the people have to say?" Nobody wants to be an official? Are you so sure? Do you know how many aspiring readers are eager to try it out now? Do you want to work for the welfare of the country and the people? I don't want to say anything more, so instead of some officials complaining about what they don't want to do, let's make a bet that if after the new law is implemented, more than half of the officials don't want to do it, I'll stop, how about it? ”
The three of them looked at each other.
Half a month later, an imperial decree was issued, all officials and errand workers should work in the fields for two days a month, eat and sleep with the people, and there should be no excuse.
I saw those officials who had taken off their official uniforms, under the supervision of a special person sent by the imperial court, gnawing on their nests, drinking porridge shining into the figures, tired and sore back, humming in Baixin's house in the middle of the night, and scolding Su Man in private and everything.
However, after a few months, no one dared to mention that the dismissal would not be done, and the emperor would be played to see if he could not work, and the backlog of cases in his hands would not be conducive to the people's grievances.
The emperor maybe, it must be executed! One by one, they wilted.
Officials in various localities were deprived of the land in their hands, gathered together, and the government leased it to the people to rent seeds, and the officials in various localities prescribed what to plant according to the quality of the soil in each locality, and uniformly paid for grain purchases.
In the event of a disaster and famine, the government will provide relief, and the people will not be allowed to flee for food, so that the land will be barren, and some people will starve to death, and the officials will not be held responsible.
One article after another is issued every month.
People don't know what new policies will be next month, but for the people of Yun, they are starting to be excited.
