On that day, Zhang Yongde stayed with Li Zhongyi for a long time, and did not turn around until he had a supper in the evening.

In the following days, Li Zhongyi moved his mouth, and Park Wanyang moved his legs, intensively handling the matter of the new princess of Goryeo entering the door.

The Kingdom of Goryeo, known as Little Huaxia, has a system of rules and regulations, as well as official documents, all in Chinese characters.

The article written by Park Wanyang does not need to be conveyed by a translator, and Li Zhongyi can directly read and understand it clearly.

"My lord, the ministers have checked the old rules, in the past, when the king married the princess, he had to be carried in from the main gate......" Pu Wanyang bent down and respectfully reported the various details of the wedding preparations, "The edict of the princess is ...... to be written."

Pu Wanyang realized that he had said the wrong thing and committed a big taboo, and before Li Zhongyi could get angry, he slapped himself twice, "Slap...... Smack......"

"The villain should be damned, it should be ...... with seals" Pu Wanyang peeked at Li Zhongyi's face with fear, lest the wrath of thunder pour out on his head, it was definitely an unbearable weight.

Li Zhongyi glanced at Pu Wanyang lightly, the successive lords of the Goryeo Kingdom liked to be clever, and most of the folds presented to the monarchs of the Central Plains Dynasty were ministers, in fact, relying on the advantage of the emperor of Tiangao, he became the emperor himself behind closed doors.

Only the emperor can use seals, treasures and other special seals, the little Goryeo lord actually has a complete set of seals and treasures exactly the same as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the format of the edict and the words and sentences are almost the same, which is definitely a proper transgression.

It's just that the Chinese monarchs of the past dynasties, including the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, always felt that the land area of Goryeo was small and belonged to the category of poor mountains and bad waters, so they kept turning a blind eye and were too lazy to worry about the Goryeo sticks.

Li Zhongyi was a Goryeo Tong, and when he conquered Goryeo, in addition to looting the treasury of Kaijing, he also swept away the official information and household registration files of the entire Goryeo Kingdom.

When it came time to make a comeback, Li Zhongyi instructed the Senate to formulate a detailed plan for making a fortune in advance, and after completely defeating the last resistance of the Goryeo Kingdom, as soon as he entered Kaijing, he launched a carpet raid, uprooting many century-old wealthy families in Kaijing City, and making a lot of money.

Park Wanyang came to Li Zhongyi, seemingly discussing the entry of the Goryeo princess, but in fact, he came to Li Zhongyi to ask for the wedding expenses.

This time, Li Zhongyi absorbed the disadvantages of the last reuse of Jin Zinan, but did not fully grasp the disadvantages of the Goryeo treasury, and all the treasures were caged into his private treasury.

Even if the Koreans wanted to use an eldest son, they had to get the consent of Li Zhongyi, and the inner study issued an official document for expenses.

"Lao Pu, the landlord's family has no surplus grain." Li Zhongyi shook his head and sighed, "Although the army also received three melons and two dates after entering the city, no one can stand it and eat the empty mountains." ”

After the Li Jiajun entered the city, he was like a wolf who had been hungry for more than ten days, not only moved the Goryeo treasury completely, not even a penny of copper money left, but also completely ransacked hundreds of wealthy families in Goryeo, eager to dig three feet into the ground.

Last time, Pu Wanyang accidentally discovered that the grain truck sent to the barracks broke a bag of rice, which was all high-quality rice with white flowers.

In the face of Li Zhongyi's pretending to be poor, Pu Wanyang didn't have too many good ways, so he had to hang his head and say dejectedly: "That villain goes back and thinks about it, how to save better?" ”

Li Zhongyi nodded with great satisfaction, and praised Pu Wanyang fiercely: "Old Pu, the world is difficult, you and I can get through the difficulties together." ”

After Pu Wanyang saluted, he took three steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the door, who would have thought that as soon as one of his feet crossed the threshold, he heard Li Zhongyi say, "Curry is empty, those empty official positions, if they can be exempted, raise a lot of waste snacks, except for empty money and food, and a large number of vampires, it is useless." ”

What the? Large-scale redundant layoffs? Pu Wanyang's feet were weak, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the guard in front of the door gave him a hand, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot.

Pu Wanyang held the door frame with his hand, pondered carefully, and then understood Li Zhongyi's deep meaning.

The reduction of redundant officials has certainly reduced the pressure on the treasury expenditure, but what is even more worth recalling is that there are fewer officials, and the life of the common people is better.

The life of the common people of Goryeo is much better, so they will not worry about the conquerors' rampant conquests, and the logistics and supply of the Li family army do not need to worry too much.

Pu Wanyang knows very well in his heart that the cost of marrying a princess in the royal family actually hides a lot of inflated and cumbersome etiquette. Li Zhongyi's request for frugality was only a conscious deletion of some aspects of the Goryeo royal family's original transgression, and in fact, he could not save too much money.

Reducing redundant officials is a big difference, and Park Wanyang is also an old bureaucrat who has climbed up from the bottom, and he knows very well that if there are fewer officials, the burden on the grass people will be reduced by more than three times.

Reducing officials and reducing burdens, for Li Zhongyi, it is a good thing that there is no harm in all benefits. However, for Pu Wanyang, it is an extremely hot soldering iron, and he is afraid to avoid it.

As the saying goes, blocking people's financial and official fortunes is more hateful than killing parents!

Park Wanyang knew very well in his heart that Li Zhongyi forced him to come forward to preside over the reduction of redundant officials and redundant personnel, which was tantamount to deliberately sending him into the sea of anger of officials, forcing him to follow Li Zhongyi with all his heart after offending the magnates of Guanggoryeo.

But the problem is that Pu Wanyang knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the tiger mountains.

Based on Pu Wanyang's speculation about Li Zhongyi's temper, as long as he dares to pick a son or flicker, Li Zhongyi will definitely not be soft, and the disaster of extermination is close at hand.

"Dare to ask the lord, which yamen to start with?" Pu Wanyang came back slowly, cautiously testing Li Zhongyi's attitude.

Li Zhongyi said coldly: "Why, you have been mixed in the officialdom for decades, which yamen have many redundant officials and need to be reduced, do you still need to ask me if I can't?" ”

These words are not good words, Pu Wanyang shivered with fright, and hurriedly explained: "I was dizzy when I calculated the accounts just now, and I am still a little dazed. ”

"I said Lao Pu, you don't want to think about it yourself, others still have the possibility of stepping on two boats, can you?" Li Zhongyi glared at Pu Wanyang angrily, and reasoned with me bitterly, "I heard that you are familiar with the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and I think that at the beginning, Cao Agui raised troops to the south, and the people of the Dongwu Gate were unstable, and Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan: Everyone can surrender to Cao, but the general cannot surrender to Cao. Lao Pu, you are a person who understands, you should know the truth very well, right? ”

Under Li Zhongyi's beating and pulling, coercion and temptation, even if Pu Wanyang was reluctant, he had to carry it out.

Li Zhongyi reminded that it is true, there is indeed only one way left for Pu Wanyang today, except for his loyalty to Li Zhongyi, the rest are dead-end.
