At dusk, almost stuck in the time of eating, Li Shaoyou entered the palace to meet him, and Liu Chengyou invited him to have a meal.

The candle flame flickered, releasing a soft light, warming his eyes, Liu Chengyou was sitting behind the imperial case, holding a list and carefully examining it.

This is the group of "Soviet Party" officials that Yang Wei exonerated from questioning, perhaps it is too much to call it a party, this is not a political force with much influence, it is just a simple interest transaction, as soon as Su Fengji fell, Yang Wei took the lead in solving all of them. Yang Wei's murderous intent was not so great, and more than 30 people, except for a few who committed the most heinous crimes, all saved their lives.

"This Yang Xianggong, things have been done in front of the official family." Li Shaoyou was on the side and said: "The above people have not all been subdued, and there are some local officials who have not been arrested and disposed of, and the ministers have all been marked. The ministers expected that when they learned of the changes in the court situation, they would abandon the officials and flee and hide from the people. ”

Liu Chengyou made a simple evaluation: "From this point of view, the execution ability of the imperial court needs to be improved, and there are so many fish that have slipped through the net." Out of Tokyo, it is difficult to reach the whip, this is still the world of the big man? ”

Liu Chengyou's words clearly implied dissatisfaction with Yang Wei and the lack of authority of the imperial court.

"Of course, this world is the world of the Great Han!" Li Shaoyou spoke out and took the initiative to ask for his life: "The official family is powerful, illuminating the world, there is no reason for the other generation to get away with it, and the minister is willing to pursue the death for the official family." ”

"That's it." Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "I set up the Wude Division, but I didn't use it to take over this chore, and the matter of approving the arrest and recovery is a natural state and county official." Besides, I can't give up on chasing after me. ”

Putting down the list, Liu Chengyou also put down the matter and asked instead: "What is the situation of the forbidden army?" ”

In fact, Liu Chengyou's establishment of the Wude Division, to a large extent, is to spy on and monitor the state of the army, and half of the officers and soldiers under the Wude Division are absorbed officers and soldiers. As for the investigation of the people's situation on the surface, the prison officials are the second-class target.

Mentioning this, Li Shaoyou subconsciously lowered his voice and said to Liu Chengyou: "The armies in Beijing are generally stable. It's just that Uncle Huang's side ......"

"Tell me, what happened to my imperial uncle again?" Liu Chengyou seemed very calm.

Li Shaoyou's expression was very cautious, his voice was very steady, and he said: "Uncle Huang can't stand the boredom in the camp, and openly takes his concubine into the army to drink and have fun. The day before yesterday, when patrolling the Holy Protector Army, the war horse was shocked and rushed, and angrily captured the stableman and the groom, and broke his foot. ”

"Official. The emperor's uncle is evil and unscrupulous, forbids the army, is greedy and fierce, and has no justice at all. The school guards committed crimes, did not follow the law and discipline, judged things according to their preferences, dealt with them harshly, and used cruel methods......" Saying, Li Shaoyou had a trace of obvious anger on his face: "During this period of time, the officers and men of all armies have been quite resentful. In the long run, I'm afraid he will change! ”

Listening to his narration, Liu Chengyou's expression was calm to numbness, but the hand under the dragon's sleeve slowly clenched, and if it was accompanied by a sound, there would definitely be a sound of bones.

Liu Chengyou has always heard of Liu Xin's situation in the army, and he has already mentioned it with his tyrannical behavior before, and of course he also gave him a little bit of face as an imperial uncle. But obviously, looking at its recent situation, instead of reining in, it has intensified.

Trying his best to stabilize his mood fluctuations, Liu Chengyou sighed leisurely: "I know about this!" ”

The answer is the same as last time, but this time the situation has changed dramatically. Earlier, Liu Chengyou still needed Liu Xin to check and balance Shi Hongzhao, but now, Shi Hongzhao has been left in Xijing by Liu Chengyou, so Liu Chengyou has no intention of putting up with Liu Xin anymore.

Just like Li Shaoyou said, if Liu Xin is tossed in the army, sooner or later there will be trouble. Liu Xin, the imperial uncle, not only failed to appease him, but lost the face of the royal family and consumed the army's patience with the Liu family.

Although he had considered it in his heart, Liu Chengyou didn't say what he meant, and seeing this, Li Shaoyou didn't ask much. took the initiative to change the topic, and asked: "Official, after this month's organizational adjustment, the operation of the Wu Desi is gradually on the right track, but it is still insufficient to supervise Tokyo. Ministers, please recruit more detectives. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou glanced at Li Shaoyou, blinked his eyes slowly, thought about it for a while, and said, "Supervision and detective affairs, there are not many in the essence." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shaoyou lowered his head, and his expression could not hide his disappointment. However, Liu Chengyou followed up and added: "At present, the structure of the Wude Division is still simple. You go back first, draw up a statement, sort out the upper and lower institutions of the Wude Division, and then make adjustments! ”

"Yes!" Li Shaoyou came down to his senses.

At the beginning of its establishment, Wu Desi was only a grass platform team, although Li Shaoyou had his ability, he was also immature, and he was still crossing the river by feeling the stones. As for Liu Chengyou, even though he knew that the Imperial City Division and Jinyiwei could imitate it, he could not provide "nanny-style" guidance for its development. He is not omniscient, as the emperor, he only needs a result, and put a rope on this secret agency, and the end of the rope is pulled by his hand.

......

On the second day of returning to Beijing, after a little fatigue, Liu Chengyou held a court meeting in the Guangzheng Palace to share his thoughts and gains from the western tour with the ministers. And announced some things at the time, setting the focus of the court's next work.

First, continue to persuade farmers to reel, promote reeling and weaving, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and at present, Liu Chengyou is not afraid of lack of money, but of lack of food.

In order to reduce the burden on the peasants, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to abolish the overdue cattle rent. Since the Later Liang Dynasty, the imperial court has rented ploughing cattle to use with the people, collecting rent, and over the decades, many ploughing cattle have already died of old age, but the tax has not been reduced. Liu Chengyou made this trip to the west, and when he heard about it, he resolutely gave up. Of course, in the first battle of Luancheng, a lot of cultivated cattle were captured, which were rented to promote farming, and this part should be collected.

In addition, the remnants of the "old camp field affairs" in various parts of the Central Plains were abolished, which were institutions under the direct management of the government, and after several decades, the government had long since ceased to act, and the field affairs were rotten to the roots, which not only restrained a large number of people, but also frustrated their enthusiasm for production, and the output was not much. It's a pity to discard it.

Liu Chengyou issued an edict to reward the people with all the land, houses, and farming tools. In this era, there is no shortage of land, only people, Liu Chengyou only wants to make people live in their houses and cultivate their fields. Similarly, the part of the tuntian that the imperial court built in the Central Plains and Hebei had to continue to be developed. In the short term, that will be a large part of the tax revenue of the imperial court.

At the same time, Liu Chengyou issued an edict that officials in all prefectures and counties in the world should not collect miscellaneous taxes in addition to regular taxes.

No matter how well these policies are implemented in the end, there will always be positive results in persuading the peasants. As before, for the edict of the imperial court, if there is a violation of the yang and the yin in the locality, the account will be settled after the different day, and this is the basis.

Second, urge all prefectures to suppress bandits. The government of the king, do not rush thieves, bandits are endless, and the threat to the stability of local production and order is too great. In this regard, the courtiers were actively in favor. In accordance with Liu Chengyou's intentions, within the first year of Qianyou, the public security situation in various localities was taken as the second most important evaluation index for the relocation of officials. The first indicator is, of course, farming.

Third, with the new structure of the Han Dynasty and the shortage of talents, Liu Chengyou decided to reopen the scientific examination, select materials and raise energy, and replenish fresh blood for the imperial court. Since the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the tribute has been stumbling and has been abolished several times. It is preliminarily set, and it will be restarted in the next year, giving the world's readers some time to prepare. However, considering that Liu Chengyou was very anxious to seek talents, it was proposed to hold a system in Tokyo in the autumn and July of this year.

Fourth, when the old criminal laws are used for a long time, the words of the laws and decrees are ancient, and it is difficult for the reader to explain them in detail, and there are many entries in the edicts, and those who read them thrifty may have doubts. In remote places, greedy people are traitors because of this, and they are immersed in evil. Fang belongs to the luck of Shengming, it is advisable to draw a rule, so that the people will not be punished, and the officials will know what to abide by. Under the door of the Chinese book, it was deleted and re-edited in order to be concise and easy to understand, and dozens of clerks of the Criminal Division were compiled by Fan Qian, who was a member of the Chinese Scholar's house.

Fifth, the history of the country was supervised by Su Yuju, a scholar of Zaichen and Hongwenguan University, and the third hall and the bachelor of Hanlin Wenchen Sijia Enlu.
