Chapter 426 Government Affairs
Qin Wangfu.
In the study, Jiang Yi was standing below, bowing his head and shoulders, looking respectful.
Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slip and glanced at him: "Lord Jiang, this king knows your intentions, but this kind of thing is actually unnecessary, Son of Heaven, just let him stay in the palace, and this king doesn't care about these vain things." β
"Yes, that's what the king said, keep it in mind." Jiang Yi hurriedly said.
"In addition, the position of Imperial Court Lieutenant has been vacant, so you can fill it." Xiao Yuan said again.
Tai Lieutenant is already ranked as the third duke.
But when Jiang Yi heard this, he panicked all of a sudden, and knelt on the ground in horror, and said in a trembling voice:
"O king, the minister is loyal, the sun and the moon can be seen, if there is anything wrong, the king rebukes and punishes, minister, must remember the teachings......"
Speaking of which, he was already completely panicked.
It is conceivable that for Jiang Yi, what is the imperial court lieutenant, it seems to be quite high, but in fact, the bird in the cage is not as powerful as the county order of the Qin State!
This is the king who wants to degrade himself!
Xiao Yuan understood what he meant, and said with slight displeasure: "Lord Jiang is too worried, the position of Shaofu Ling is unchanged, but it is just for you to have a false name as a royal court lieutenant." β
Yes!? So it was, Jiang Yi was secretly relieved, and did not forget to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform, and then fell to the ground and said, "Minister, obey the king's order." β
"Alright, you go down first." Xiao Yuan waved his hand again.
"Yes, Weichen retired." The latter hurriedly saluted.
In fact, at this time, Xiao Yuan had already begun to gradually purge the ministers of the imperial court and slowly replace them with his own people.
After Jiang Yi left, it didn't take long for Liu Yuzhi to look for him.
Seeing him, Xiao Yuan was one head and two big, no need to ask, there must be a lot of official documents and bamboo slips hidden in the cuffs of his official uniform.
"Xiangguo, can we take it easy?" Xiao Yuan was deeply tired.
"King, there are some things that can be delayed, and some things that cannot be delayed."
Liu Yuyi said seriously, and at the same time, regardless of whether Xiao Yuantong disagreed or not, he had already pulled out the first roll of bamboo slips.
βγγγγγγβ
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan could only smile bitterly, took the bamboo slip, unfolded it, and cheered up.
Liu Yuzhi stood below and began to say: "After the king set out on the expedition, the number of soldiers in our country has been expanded again, and after all these years of recruiting troops from all over the country, it has increased to 650,000. β
"All of these need to be seen and approved by the king himself."
"In addition, to support an army of 650,000 people, the national strength is seriously depleted, and in the opinion of the ministers, the expansion of armaments should be suspended."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan said: "The foundation of our country's rear has long been solid, and the major military affairs cannot be abolished. β
"But in this way, the Ordnance Division, and the army, are a place where countless gold and silver are spent."
Liu Yuzhidao: "In addition, the Chuanjiangyan has been built, and the water conservancy of Sichuan and Shu has been improved, but in other places, it is still insufficient. β
"Did you approve it?" Xiao Yuan asked.
The prime minister has this right.
Liu Yuzhi shook his head: "There are some issues involved, Weichen did not dare to make a conclusion, and it needs to be considered by the king." β
"Is the Ministry of Industry suspected of corruption?" Xiao Yuan's brows jumped.
"Not really, it's something else."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan was helpless.
Liu Yuzhi said: "In addition, on the one hand, the king wants to vigorously expand the armament, on the other hand, he wants to build a large number of buildings, and also revitalize agriculture and education. β
"In the opinion of the prime minister?"
"These are all good policies, benefiting the army and the people, and strengthening the country, but with all due respect, the king, some are too anxious." Liu Yuzhi said truthfully.
"Wait, let me think about it." Liu Yuzhi's words made Xiao Yuan frown somewhat.
This prime minister is well aware of the current situation of the Qin State, the treasury money and grain, soldiers, horses and ordnance, and farmland and commerce.
So his words had to make Xiao Yuan think deeply.
After groaning, Xiao Yuan made a decision and said: "In this way, the three major policies of the army, agriculture, and education will be implemented first, and some other problems will be pressed for the time being, and after the four counties of the flame are completely stabilized, we will solve all the problems." β
"In particular, some unnecessary constructions of the Ministry of Industry will be rejected."
"If you don't have a strong military, you will be looked down upon by your neighbors, and you will have no right to speak in the world hegemony; Without agriculture, the people would not have enough to eat, the people would be full of grievances, and the grain and grass would be sluggish; Without education, talent will wither, and it will be impossible to strengthen the country. β
After listening to this, Liu Yuzhi thought for a while and said: "What the king is very worried about is that these three major policies are indeed the top priority. β
"Okay, is there anything else?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"Of course." Liu Yuzhi will be polite, and then smoke bamboo slips.
In this study meeting, he is Xiangguo, it is conceivable, what he said is all state affairs, there is no small one, Xiao Yuan can only discuss it seriously with him.
And this discussion lasted all afternoon, until it was nearly evening.
After finally finishing the important government affairs, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but get up and stretch.
Liu Yuzhi said with Shi Li: "After the political report is completed, Weichen retires. β
"The prime minister is slow." Xiao Yuan stopped him.
"What else does the king command?" Liu Yuzhi stopped and bowed.
"Go and inform the Qinzhou battalion, tonight, this king will reward the three armies."
"Yes, Wechen will do it." Liu Yuzhi took the order and left.
The Qinzhou camp is not far from the city, and the soldiers who went out this time are also stationed here after they return.
During the war, the soldiers could not drink and have fun, but when they returned, they should hold a celebration banquet.
Xiao Yuan, the king, has always been unstingy with rewards in the army.
Clear rewards and punishments are also the basic way of governance.
That night, when the moon was in the sky, Xiao Yuan wore a royal robe, went down to the barracks, and had a good time with the soldiers.
At the open-air feast, there was laughter and laughter, and the soldiers ate meat and drank wine in large bowls, which was so lively.
Without them shedding their blood and opening up territory for the country, there would be no Qin State today!
And Xiao Yuan also behaved very pro-soldier, and from time to time came to the middle of the soldiers sitting in groups of three or five, picked up the wine bowl, and bumped into the ordinary soldiers.
With such a king, the mood of the soldiers can be imagined, it is a feudal dynasty, and many soldiers are excited and their faces are red, and their emotions are high.
After walking around casually, Xiao Yuan returned to the position directly above, holding the wine bowl and shouting:
"Soldiers! Done! β
"Respect the Kingβ"
Everyone stood up, holding wine bowls in both hands, and shouted in unison.
When this celebration banquet was over, Xiao Yuan was also a little dizzy, so he didn't go back to the palace and rested in the military camp for one night.
This is a real monarch on the horse, and his military career has always made the soldiers and soldiers all know their own king, and they can think of prestige.
