The words of the third prince Ying Ho made Yun Xiaoshui startled, and he thought that he only cared about talking to Han Xin, and the third son Ying Ho was angry with himself! Hurriedly said: "I want to hear about it!" Please teach Childe! ”

"Well—it's not a lecture, it's a reminder! The changes of the National Teacher and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have touched a lot of courtiers and local officials, so please ask the Lord and the Prince to pay attention to their personal safety! ”

"The minister obeys the prince's orders! When I go back, I will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truthfully! ”

"Could it be that what the third prince said came true so quickly? …… Not right either! What are you doing without attacking me as a person and attacking my wealth? It's just that the money is too unproductive, right? …… Not yet! Precious medicinal herbs were robbed and burned! So...... Is this the 'cat and mouse, play first' approach? Hum! If labor and management are regarded as little mice, then labor and management will be reversed, and the little mouse will eat the cat! ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Yun Xiaoshui was about to go back to the house to find a way to deal with it, when another messenger came, but it was a eunuch in the palace, who came to pass on the message of the first emperor.

"Master Guoshi, Your Majesty's dictation, recruit you into the palace!"

"Immediately?"

"Right now! Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Study! ”

"What's going on here, today?" Yun Xiaoshui couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart and followed his father-in-law into the palace.

As soon as I saw the first emperor and there was a shadow on my face, I felt that it was not a trivial matter, and there should be a major event that was not good for me. Yun Xiaoshui mainly asked: "Your Majesty is so anxious to summon Wei Chen, I don't know what admonition there is?" ”

"What is the admonition? I will punish you! Are you guilty? ”

Yun Xiaoshui shuddered, looked at the First Emperor quietly, and turned over the river and sea in his heart to find the memory of what he had done, and said in his stomach: "Damn! You're scaring me, aren't you? Your Majesty! Where did I sin? I've been working hard for Great Qin's strength all the time! ”

Then, with sharp eyes, he said, "Weichen doesn't know!" Wei Chen is only doing his best and planning deeply for the strength of Great Qin, but he really doesn't know what kind of crime he has? ”

"Hahaha...... I don't know what your sin is! I only came to ask you, when will the plan of the second Great Wall be ready for the construction of this second Great Wall from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River in the east, through the Yanran Mountains in the middle, to the foot of the Ortai Mountains in the west, and to start to be implemented? ”

"It is a condition for the people to be rich and the country to be strong, and now it has just been revealed that the people are rich, and the country is still a little strong. The strength of the country is manifested in the strength of the army, which has not yet been achieved, but it is not far from the goal, at most two years, at least one year to start a large-scale expansion operation on the northern border! ”

"It's going to be another year or two! Look at these! ”

The first emperor threw Yun Xiaoshui a bunch of chapters, all written on silk, obviously all of them were official documents! Yun Xiaoshui flipped through them one by one, and immediately divided the combinations in his mind after reading them, and then speculated about the purpose and reason for the writing, or the possible background when writing the music.

There are a total of five copies, two of which are from the Beijing battalion army, neither of which is Zhang Han's own handwriting, but it is the commander's seal. The first thing that happened was that the military budget was insufficient, and the second was that the soldiers were exhausted. The other three were county guards from three counties, and the first thing they did was that there were not enough men to cultivate the land, and the old and young went into battle; Second, the government is poor, and the treatment of officials is low.

"Are there any other twists and turns in these aspects? Your Majesty! ”

"In the previous stage, there were four county wardens or county officials who handed me a message about the shortage of labor in farming. Rejoice! ”

Sui Xi immediately agreed: "The old slave is here!" ”

"You go and bring it to Xiao Aiqing to see!"

After Yun Xiaoshui memorized the starting place and the initiator of the nine parts of the recital one by one, you said to the First Emperor: "Has Your Majesty discussed these recitals with the left and right sides?" ”

"They have not yet made up their minds before they have all handed it over to me, and I have not consulted with my ministers. I just want to ask Xiao Aiqing if there is a solution? ”

"Your Majesty! With all due respect, the five things that were played in these nine compromises were a shortage of men in cultivation, a scarcity of men in military service, a depletion of soldiers, insufficient government funds, too low official salaries, and an empty treasury. Merging the repetitive, in fact, there are three things. There is a shortage of labor, there is a shortage of soldiers, and the salaries of officials are low. It's not at all like what they said, look at it with a micro minister, don't discuss countermeasures with the ministers first, the countermeasures can be solved.

First, send people to go deep into the grassroots to make secret visits, is this the actual situation? Weichen always feels that this is not the case, if this is the case, the people are not chaotic, can the people not sue? When we took military service, we had already done a thorough survey of the population and the number of men in the whole country and opened up the military service initiative that young women could also enlist in the army, but this statement of insufficient soldiers is not only exaggerated, but also has ulterior motives, which is secretly sending a signal to hostile countries abroad! ”

"Huh? Little Aiqing! Don't be sensational, can all these officials collaborate with the enemy? ”

"Not really! It is true that they are spreading rumors for their own benefit! Weichen thinks that there is only one thing, that is, the funds in the government are not abundant, and the officials have no oil and water to fish, and they are all rich to the common people's homes! ”

"Just as you say, send an unannounced inspector to go deep into the people!"

Coming out of the first emperor's study, Yun Xiaoshui couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity. I thought: "This is the revenge that the third prince reminded of!" The destruction of labor and management business should be in the nature of pure commercial warfare! ”

Yun Xiaoshui called Chasing Feng and Gu Yang and ordered them to send out a group of commercial spies. The murderer of the Southeastern Transport Detachment was investigated.

"Eun Gong! The subordinates have already been arranged, let Gu Yang take people to investigate secretly, and the subordinates will investigate openly as the government and civil security police, so that the light and the darkness, together with the merchants of various industries who can compete with Yun Xiaoshui's 'Divine Spirit Herb Hall', we have not washed the business deck, and this cleaning is not much! ”

"Good! Those who know me, chase the sheriff too! ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... Eun Gong praised! Did the subordinates retire and do things? ”

"Go ahead! Also arrange your people to be careful at all times and everywhere! ”

"Yes!"

The results of the investigation on the First Emperor's side came first, and after the First Emperor got it, he immediately called the crown prince and Yun Xiaoshui. As Yun Xiaoshui said, the actual situation is that there is no such situation as the exhaustion of soldiers, the shortage of labor, and the shortage of military and government funds, and the so-called shortcomings are all insufficient for their own greed, taking, and occupation, and the public service funds are absolutely sufficient.

It is true that when the farm is busy, the old and the young are dispatched, and the strong labor is insufficient. In response to this situation, Yun Xiaoshui immediately proposed to the First Emperor a way to solve and alleviate this phenomenon: to encourage young women to join the army, and also to encourage women to participate in labor, go out of the house, go down to the fields to help plows and pull rakes!

"Little National Teacher! Another situation is also basically true, that is, the pockets of the government treasury, the state treasury, and the officials, while the common people are rich, do not rise with the abundance, but on the contrary, they are empty! What can I do? ”

The situation that the prince grasped was true, and Yun Xiaoshui also knew something from the letters of individual local officials, and he had a strategy to deal with it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! The minister has already planned a countermeasure to this situation, but he just wants to kill two birds with one stone and has not asked His Majesty for a long time! Now His Royal Highness has already proposed, let Wei Chen tell His Majesty and His Highness in detail! The reason why there is a temporary situation in Daqin where the people are rich, the country is not rich, and the officials are not rich is mainly because the government gives more money and collects less. The policies are strict with the officials and loose with the people.

There is also commerce, especially foreign trade, which is underdeveloped, so to speak, we are not doing business with foreign countries now. We produce a lot of things ourselves, but they only flow and consume internally, and what can't flow and can't be consumed is destroyed! How can a country be rich?
