Chapter 544: The Heads Are Big!
In the next time, the Wujin camp and the northern camp of Jinbei sharpened their knives and prepared all the preparations before the war!
Twenty days!
February 5 of the twentieth year of the Holy Qin, Chenshi, the Great Jin Empire, the Jinling Imperial Capital, the Imperial Palace, and the Chengtian Palace!
Chengtian hall is resplendent in gold, carved beams and painted buildings, there are nine big blue pillars standing in the hall, each big blue pillar is engraved with a lifelike blue dragon, and on the left and right sides of the center of the main hall, it is full of civil and military officials, civil and military officials are all dressed in blue court clothes, and wear blue official hats inlaid with precious stones.
The expression of each minister is extremely solemn, which makes the Chengtian Hall full of solemnity, and also makes everyone feel solemn, and on the high platform of the main hall, Emperor Min Zilu of the Jin Dynasty sits firmly on the throne of the lacquered gold carved dragon in a blue dragon robe, and a pair of majestic eyes look around the civil and military officials in the main hall!
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"
At this time, a minister with frosted temples came out of the civil official queue, this minister was named Li Mi, and the official worshiped the head of the household department!
Emperor Min Zilu of the Jin Dynasty subconsciously moved his gaze to Li Mi, and then replied softly with an expressionless face: "Quasi-play!" β
"Your Majesty, from the twenty-third year of Zhaode to the twenty-sixth year of Zhaode, the Qin Empire has absorbed a total of 40,000 Jin people and more than 1,000 teaching masters, resulting in a serious loss of population from my Great Jin Dynasty, and private schools in various places are facing the point where there are no masters available!"
"Please ask Your Majesty to supervise the officials in all parts of the country, if one person under his rule absconds from Jin, he will be fined one hundred taels of silver, if ten people under his rule absconded from Jin, he will be removed from his post and investigated, and if there are 100 people under his rule who absconded from Jin, beheaded, only strict law can stop the loss of population!" The head of the household, Shangshu Li Mi, said with a solemn expression.
The twenty-third year of Zhaode corresponds to the seventeenth year of Shengqin, and the twenty-sixth year of Zhaode corresponds to the twentieth year of Shengqin!
In fact, he is only in his forties, but his hair is already gray, and he is sad because of the population loss, don't look at the 40,000 people who are only losing now, but the rate of loss is getting faster and faster.
And the people also came out of a new industry, specifically to help people abscond out of the Jin industry, due to the defects of the law, so that this industry is not suppressed by the law, now this line of development is very fast, almost every county has it, even the Jinling Emperor has people to do this line.
Li Mi played this matter, that is, let the Jin Emperor Min Zilu legislate, and supervising officials everywhere is only the first step in legislation!
Emperor Min Zilu of the Jin Dynasty frowned, and the rest of the hundred officials were also worried, and the hundred officials were weighing the pros and cons, thinking about whether it would be feasible, and whether it would make officials everywhere feel the harshness of the imperial court, and Emperor Min Zilu of the Jin Dynasty and Prime Minister smiled and thought that if the legislation was specifically enacted for this matter, would it offend the Qin Empire, and would it make the Qin Empire think that the Great Jin Dynasty was targeting the Qin Empire?
The current Qin Empire, the Great Jin Dynasty can't afford to provoke it!
The hall fell silent, silent, and after a short while, Zong Xian, the secretary of the military department, walked out of the civil official queue, Zong Xian was the oldest minister in the Jin court, in addition to Qiu Yixiao, the oldest minister in the Jin court, he was sixty-eight years old this year, and it was not an exaggeration to call himself an old minister.
Zong Xian Zhengxing walked the wooden body to the center of the main hall, and bent down to face the Jin Emperor Min Zilu with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded Lord Li's words, and asked Your Majesty to enact legislation to shock the world and severely punish those who absconded from the customs!" β
"Master Zong was surprised by this!" Ding Chunqiu, the secretary of the ministry, immediately stood up and refuted!
Zong Xianzheng glanced at Ding Chunqiu, and replied softly with an expressionless face: "How can Lord Ding say this!" β
Ding Chunqiu looked at the Jin Emperor Min Zilu on the high platform, and bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, there are two reasons why the ministers oppose the legislation and oppose the legislation, one is that officials from all over the country should not be controlled by this strict law, you know, a county is very large, and there are many people, just with the manpower of the government, how to supervise the people of the whole city?" β
"If the people really abscond, how can the government manage it, and it will be difficult to close the city every day? The meaning of Master Zong and Master Li is that they want to use strict laws to suppress officials, and then officials suppress the people, this will definitely not work, and the reason why it will not work is still that sentence, the government has too few people, and it is impossible to stare at the people of the city all day long! β
"With this method, it is definitely the officials around the country who are in great pain, not the people who have absconded from the customs, and it is impossible to cure the problem of population loss at all, it will only make the officials around the country feel the harshness of the imperial court, and the second is, if my Great Jin legislates for this, will the Qin Imperial Court think that my Great Jin is targeting the Qin Empire, and my Great Jin has a deep hatred with Qin, but fortunately, it has eased down recently this year, if this trivial matter angers the Qin Empire, what should I do in the Great Jin?"
Ding Chunqiu's last sentence can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of Emperor Min Zilu and Qiu Yixiao of the Jin Dynasty, the two of them are afraid of this, and the civil and military officials also woke up when they heard the last sentence, yes, if it is legislated, wouldn't the Qin Empire think that the Great Jin is targeting them.
"The Qin Empire absorbs the population of my Great Jin, shouldn't it be targeted? Could it be that because of Qin Qiang, I'm going to bend over to be a dog? Hubu Shangshu Li Fan said angrily, staring at Ding Chunqiu with a pair of angry eyes!
"You...."Ding Chunqiu was speechless, he was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, in desperation, Ding Chunqiu chose to remain silent and not argue with Li Mi, because if he continued to talk, he would inevitably end up with a reputation of fear of Qin.
"Your Majesty, let's legislate, there is no need to be afraid of Qin, my Great Jin national strength has been restored, there is no need to be in Juqiang Qin!" The military department Shangshu Zong showed a firm expression and saluted.
"Your Majesty, legislate!"
"Your Majesty, legislate!"
A large number of civil servants knelt on the ground, all of them were ministers who supported the legislation, only a small number of ministers remained silent, such as Qiu Yixiao, who was not busy expressing his position, and the military attachΓ©s in the military attache queue also remained silent, with an indifferent attitude.
Emperor Min Zilu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw this scene, his head was big, why didn't he want to legislate, but legislation would offend the Qin Empire.
Yes, after nearly ten years, the national strength of the Great Jin Empire has indeed recovered by more than half, the population has recovered to 4.5 million, and the labor force is also 300,000, and the labor force of 300,000 means that 300,000 soldiers can be conscripted, plus the 200,000 standing army that the Great Jin Empire currently has, there are 500,000 troops, and the annual finance is no longer a financial deficit, and there is even surplus money into the treasury, but compared with the national strength of the Qin Empire, the national strength of the Jin Empire is not enough to see at all!
Emperor Min Zilu of the Jin Dynasty really didn't want it, the vitality of the Great Jin Empire that had finally recovered was lost by the Qin Empire, and he still wanted to recapture Fangshan County and Fengtai County, not only he thought so, but Qiu Yixiao also thought so.
