The empire is virtuous.

He said to the old emperor on the right: "Holy Lord! Nowadays, there are many displaced people everywhere, and profiteers buy and sell grain and firearms. Weichen thought that those displaced people should be resolutely controlled and the businessmen should be punished. ”

In the past few years, the court has changed many old people.

Back then, the brilliant right minister squatted in prison, and the left minister was corrupt and killed.

The right minister of the empire is no longer the right minister at the beginning, and even the power has weakened a lot.

The old emperor had heard too much of this kind of talk, and he continued to handle the official documents in his hand without raising his head, and approved one thing after another.

The right minister continued: "Merchants can be killed at any time, but the real ones who are in charge are the homeless, if these people can't stay in the territory and cultivate well, it will be a bad thing for the country. ”

"The state treats people everywhere preferentially, and it is precisely because of the long-term preferential treatment that many people gradually forget the majesty of the imperial court and do not know gratitude."

"The minister looked at the grain output and tax revenues in various places, and thought that many people had enough to eat over the years, and their families had enough food to stockpile."

"This is not possible, the people will not be of the same heart with the state when they are full, and it is not easy to be driven by the state, which is not conducive to the management of various places."

"The minister advocates a tax increase! Increase the land tax and poll tax for the people everywhere, and prohibit people other than merchants from leaving their hometowns, so that the people can cultivate the land diligently through taxation, so that the country will be rich and strong! ”

It's been a few months since the right minister came up, and now is the time when he needs to make some political achievements, so for himself and for the sake of this empire, he is conscientiously trying to find a way.

The old emperor was still indifferent, he continued to give instructions on the documents, and there was not a single word of the right minister's words that convinced him from beginning to end.

Where is there a shortage of food? Well? Which one?

Except for a few places where there is no grass or ice, where is there not enough food?

Even if you have little grain, you can find your own way according to the local environment, either fishing or farming.

The imperial court will also send grain to those places, and anyway, there is a surplus of grain every year in all parts of the country.

In many places such as Longzhou, Tongzhou, Shanzhou, Yanzhou, etc., there are reserves of grain that can be eaten for many years.

Longzhou has the largest granary in the country, which can support the country's population with only one state.

Neither tax increases nor grain collection can solve the immediate problem.

The old emperor didn't think that this person could solve the problem, and listening to him talk here, the main reason was that he was used to having someone talking next to him when he was working.

Except when he was sleeping and resting, the old emperor preferred to be lively, but it was difficult to calm down and deal with things when he was particularly quiet.

The right minister did not know what role he was playing, and after seeing that the emperor was indifferent, he continued: "The minister has nine strategies to govern the country and secure the people!" ”

"First, the household registration system is divided into prefectures, prefectures, counties, counties, towns, townships, and villages, and below the county level are not allowed to engage in livelihood other than farming, except for what they eat, they must pay a share of grain as a land tax every year, and they are not allowed to sell grain and poultry, and they are not allowed to work elsewhere to do chores."

"If these people make money from elsewhere, then they will not be grateful to the court."

"If these people receive favors and protection from others, then they will despise officials."

The old emperor's nine policies for governing the country on the right minister are just to listen.

In the eyes of the old emperor, this right minister is not a fool, but he is not a talent, that's it.

The talents who graduated from the Longzhou Official Academy have higher grades than Wang Lanling in all aspects, and they are more concerned about national affairs than Wang Lanling, and they get up early and are greedy for the Jiang family to ponder the art of controlling the people.

However, just listen to it, how could the old emperor not know about this?

He knows it clearly, and this thing itself exists in human nature, but it is better to say that it is an instinct, a social rule, and what is known makes knowing, and what is not known will not be known.

It was probably when I was looking at the sky when it was raining and I heard someone next to me say, "It's raining today."

While the old emperor was listening to the voice of the right minister to deal with official business, a eunuch wearing an officer's uniform walked in.

"Holy Lord, Jiang Zhenhai asked to see him, saying that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he thought of a proposal that would be beneficial to the country, and he wanted you to review it."

The old emperor still had an impression of Jiang Zhenhai's name, after all, he was one of the few capable people among his grandchildren.

It's just that many places are too naïve, and after following him for a while, there are problems in many places one after another, so he can study in the official school with peace of mind.

"Did you find me directly?" The old emperor didn't care about red tape, nor did he care about the rules and regulations, how simple and how to come.

The guard said, "Yes, I didn't go to see the rest of the officers. ”

When the old emperor heard this, he said, "Since he is full of confidence, let him in, and I will see what good things he can come up with." ”

Towards his own family and outsiders, the old emperor's attitude is naturally different.

Soon Jiang Zhenhai walked in, and he still had a piece of paper like a contract in his hand.

"Meet the Holy One!" Jiang Zhenhai respectfully greeted this ancestor.

The old emperor said directly: "Show me something." ”

The guards next to him quickly transferred the things in Jiang Zhenhai's hands to the emperor.

The right side is standing on the side, and his eyes are not squinting.

For smart people, a glance at many things is enough.

In the eyes of the right minister, the relationship between this Jiang Zhenhai and the emperor is not good, as can be seen from the fact that the other party needs an intermediary to pass things to the emperor.

Jiang Kedi in the early years, but he could directly hand over the documents to the emperor!

It's only occasional, but this trust represents a right!

Just as Wang Lanling thought, many people in the empire, 80 percent in Longzhou, 90 percent in Longcheng, and 99.9 percent in the Manchu Dynasty, were all concerned about the health of the old emperor.

The old emperor and his men have been engaged in a race to see who can survive.

These smart people were always observing and figuring out the emperor's thoughts and performances.

The first emperor couldn't play this group of people, but he had a long lifespan, plus he was Emperor Wu, and the talents below were not too presumptuous.

The old emperor is different, he is not as good as his father in martial arts and military affairs, but his ability to guard the house is definitely stronger than his father.

The empire is rotten like this, it really has nothing to do with the old emperor, and what the first emperor left behind is a bunch of hidden dangers.

If the old emperor didn't clean up the heroes and nobles of the first emperor, there would only be more problems now.

The state-owned assets were recovered, and the Jiang family and the royal family all owned the imperial estates, inns and other livelihoods were established, and at the same time, the territories and treatments of some nobles were reduced and gradually recovered, and taxes were not raised.

But in any case, just because this man killed so many ministers, after he died, he would be evaluated as a tyrant by the literati.

The old emperor quickly became serious, and raised his head to look at Jiang Zhenhai when he was halfway there.

"This is what you came up with?"

Jiang Zhenhai's legs were a little weak, but fortunately, this kind of thing was not done at one time.

"Yes...... That's what I thought! Jiang Zhenhai admitted his own thing.

The old emperor asked, "Have you ever consulted with others?" ”

Jiang Zhenhai didn't dare to hide it, and said: "I told my father and my husband about this, but they just said that they could and didn't provide much advice. ”

The old emperor also knew something about Jiang Zhenhai's father, a waste who spent his time fishing all day long.

Just thinking of this, I want to press his head and let him go to the fish pond to sober up!

But just think about it, the old emperor is not so cruel, and his waste son is not just this one, now he is out of sight, not upset, and sent to the place indiscriminately.

If it weren't for Jiang Zhenhai, the old emperor wouldn't have let that kind of waste come back.

"I'll look at it again, the school is indeed a good place, and now you think about things more thoroughly than before."

The old emperor was very satisfied with this grandson, and the Manchu Dynasty couldn't think of a way for more than a month, he thought of it!

"Yes!" Jiang Zhenhai endured the excitement in his heart and tried to agree calmly.

The right minister looked at Jiang Zhenhai's expression of trying to suppress his excitement, and felt that this person's performance in etiquette class must not be good, and he couldn't even hide this emotion.

The members of the court must first be dignified, or not smiling, even if they encounter big things, they can't laugh, they are all professionally trained people.

But what is it exactly?

The right minister is very curious about what this Jiang Zhenhai has shown to the emperor, and what things will be discussed tomorrow.

If you know the problem in advance, you will have enough time to consult the information and solve the problem!

It's just that the emperor didn't mean to let the right minister know, but after Jiang Zhenhai left, he said to the right minister: "You go on." ”

Seeing that the old emperor was very concerned about his opinion, the right minister said respectfully: "Yes! ”

"The second strategy, Liuguan! Officials are not only the cornerstone of maintaining the majesty of the imperial court, but also the fundamental problem that shakes the imperial court. ”

"The people love the local officials and miss someone because they feel that the court treats them badly."

"The people hate an official, and they will also think that it is the reason for the imperial court."

"Therefore, the minister believes that the rights of local officials should be limited, and only rely on the governor to rule by others, and some problems are likely to arise, and the rule of law should be used to regulate the scope of the rights of local officials."

"Establish a promotion mechanism so that some sages can be promoted elsewhere before their reputation improves, and they will be replaced to take over and disrupt the original changes."

"After some people are evil, they have their own inspection department to deal with things."

"In this way, the good man brings order and good name to the imperial court, and solves the problem of not falling away, and solving the problem of punishing corrupt officials is also conducive to the establishment of the prestige of the imperial court."

The Right Prime Minister has spoken out his suggestions for this country, and his nine strategies are all solutions to the various problems that exist in the empire, and solve them from various angles.

It sounds very powerful, not to mention the nine strategies, but one strategy can make a place like Wang Lanling hurt the muscles and bones.

But that's it, the old emperor understands more than this man.

It can't be implemented.

The order to kill is very simple to carry out, and it can be done 200 percent.

However, it is very difficult to implement any of these nine policies, and a group of departments dedicated to this need to be implemented.

Compared with the nine strategies of the right minister, the old emperor still cares more about Jiang Zhenhai's proposal for this toll road.

This proposal is simply an innovation!

Toll roads, what bandits do, legitimized as what officials have to do!

Checkpoint fees, tolls, and entrance fees are available in many places, but the old emperor still thinks that this toll road proposal is an innovative feat that is better than that of toll public toilets!

Ordinary people really can't think of this!

The old emperor looked at it and thought of Wang Lanling.

The old emperor casually asked the eunuch beside him: "I think of Wang Lanling in Heishui County, how is the paid toilet built by that person?" ”

Jiang Zhenhai's body was shocked, and his eyes opened suddenly.

Many people have forgotten that Wang Lanling started as a big dung division.

Many people have also forgotten about the paid toilet proposed by Wang Lanling.

Jiang Zhenhai forgot about it, so that at this time, his back was cold, and his mind was full of toll toilets and toll roads!

The eunuch said cautiously: "I don't know this, I'll let someone check it." ”

"No need." The old emperor looked at Jiang Zhenhai, "You go and check this matter, and include the matter of the toll toilet into this toll road, I think these two are very suitable, what do you think?" ”

The old emperor still asked Jiang Zhenhai's opinion, and he felt that the suggestion of the toll road was too good!

"Yes! It's very suitable......" Jiang Zhenhai's mind is a little weak now, he is in a state of shock at this time, like a primary school student who has not done his homework and is cared for by the teacher.

The old emperor nodded, where can people outside rest assured that their own family members can use it, so he didn't ask Wang Lanling to come back to do this, but directly asked Jiang Zhenhai to take care of this.

Wang Lanling is just a courtier, it doesn't matter if he makes meritorious service or not, Jiang Zhenhai's meritorious service is what should be done.

The old emperor couldn't see it, but the right minister next to him looked at Jiang Zhenhai's performance and had only one idea in his heart.

Problematic!
