Chapter 33 Handling Political Affairs
"Master, master."
Xiao Guizi saw that he couldn't wake up the master, and after scratching his head, he stood on the side and waited for the master to sleep until he woke up naturally.
The master slept late last night, so let's sleep more.
The emperor could sleep until he woke up naturally, but the civil and military officials did not dare to sleep until he woke up naturally, and he waited on the Fengtian Hall early.
However, this time, everyone's mood is much calmer, and it is not surprising.
The hundred officials are headed by Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan, and even the military attachΓ© is no exception.
The military attache is still headed by Yuwen Invincible, but he is now also Fan Zhongyan's 'little brother', and everything is based on Fan Zhongyan's horse.
β¦β¦
It wasn't until the sun rose that Ji Jing rubbed his eyes, and then he went to Fengtian Hall with Xiao Guizi.
Seeing that the emperor had arrived, the courtiers bowed and officially ascended to the court.
"Your Majesty, please play if you have something to do." Fan Zhongyan stepped forward.
"Quasi-play." Ji Jing looked at Fan Zhongyan condescendingly.
"Recently, the Blood Lotus Sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in turmoil, and countless innocent people have been victimized, so I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order the defense of all counties to make every effort to eradicate the Blood Lotus Sect and maintain the peace of the world!"
"Cao Yu listens to the order!"
Ji Jing looked at Cao Yu among the courtiers and said loudly: "Xuan! β
Cao Yu immediately stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order.
Xiao Guizi immediately stepped forward and picked up the holy decree that Ji Jing had prepared yesterday.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
The blood lotus is in rebellion, and the people are harmed, so they should be eradicated and uprooted. The county defenses are trying their best to arrest the Blood Lotus Cultists, and there is no mercy for killing them! Officials and the common people shall not shield them, and those who harbor them shall be guilty of the same crime.
This matter is in charge of Cao Yu of the Investigation Division, Qin this! β
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
After Cao Yu saluted, he got up and took the holy decree handed over by Xiao Guizi.
γDing~~γ
[Side quest: Order to eradicate the Blood Lotus Cultists, the task is completed, and 100 quest points are obtained. γ
[Mission Point: 100.] γ
The system dingdong suddenly sounded in his mind, Ji Jing's expression remained unchanged, but he had some contempt in his heart.
Such a big thing is only a hundred task points.
In fact, Ji Jing can already roughly guess the reason for how many task points there are, and the more you pay, the more you get.
Just like now he just issued a holy decree, just a matter of a few words, and the task points are naturally few.
If he personally went to eradicate the Blood Lotus Sect, it was estimated that he would get a lot of task points.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." Fan Zhongyan asked to play again.
"Exactly."
"The floods in the three counties south of the Yangtze River have just leveled, the people are living in difficulty, the scholars have suffered huge losses, and many fertile fields are unable to be cultivated in spring. Please allow your Majesty to withdraw 200,000 taels from the state treasury to help the people of the three counties through the difficult period, and then return to the state treasury after the autumn harvest. β
"In addition, the minister wants to issue a decree, and the officials and people of other counties will work together to open up the wasteland, reclaim more fertile land, and increase the income of the national treasury."
This question, Ji Jing had already thought about it last night, land reform is the foundation of a country, and if it is not good, the country will be in turmoil, so the best way is to take it step by step.
"Fan Zhongyan listens to the order." Ji Jing said in a deep voice.
"The minister takes the order." Fan Zhongyan knelt down to receive the order.
Xiao Guizi picked up a copy of the decree again, stepped forward, and read it aloud.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
The three counties in the south of the Yangtze River suffered from floods, damaged scholars and farmers, and suffered hardships for industry and commerce. The state treasury allocated 200,000 taels to purchase fertile land and lease it to the people for cultivation, and all expenses were borne by the imperial court, and the rent was paid after the autumn. The acquisition of fertile land follows the principle of voluntariness and shall not be forcibly expropriated.
Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan is in charge of this matter, and he is here!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After Fan Zhongyan saluted, he got up and took the holy decree.
But there are still many doubts in my heart, and the lord's meaning seems to be different from his.
Ji Jingke didn't care what Fan Zhongyan thought, this was the best way he could think of to solve the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
The benefits are numerous.
1. Take back a part of the fertile land to the state, and then sow the 'Nanyou No. 2', so that a large amount of grain can be harvested in the autumn harvest, which will be used to supply the army and expand the territory.
Second, it is possible to hire a large number of people to help them tide over difficult times and resolve civil unrest that may be caused.
3. Ninety percent of the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of the scholars, who occupied a dominant position in society. Reducing the land of the gentry is equivalent to cutting down the rights of the gentry, which is conducive to reducing the resistance of various government decrees in the future.
Ji Jing has already accepted his fate, or he will not give up the throne until he gathers a hundred dragon power pills.
Only when he was the emperor could he gather a hundred dragon power pills as quickly as possible.
γDing~~γ
[Side quest: Imperial decree, quest completed, 100 quest points obtained.] γ
[Mission Point: 200.] γ
β¦β¦
The early dynasty ended.
Fan Zhongyan came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Minister, meet the lord." Fan Zhongyan bowed.
"Flat, give a seat." Ji Jing said with a smile.
He knew that Fan Zhongyan must have a lot of questions, but what?
Fan Zhongyan just listened, if he wanted to pit him, there was no way, it was his turn to pit Fan Zhongyan.
"The lord's practice of buying back fertile land is really wonderful!" Fan Zhongyan praised, he had already figured out Ji Jing's intentions.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and taking 200,000 yuan for disaster relief can only solve the urgent need, but it cannot really let the people of the three counties live and work in peace and contentment.
However, the return of some of the fertile land to the state will not only allow the people to have land to plant, but the risk will be borne by the state.
And the gentry clan lost a part of the land, so they naturally cherished the rest of the land even more, and did not dare to bully the tenants at will.
A virtuous circle will lead to a more stable country in the long run.
Ji Jing felt uncomfortable with a missed punch, and originally wanted to ridicule Fan Zhongyan, but he didn't expect Fan Zhongyan to 'obey'.
"Then let it go, remember that I will give you a maximum of 200,000 taels, and the remaining 100,000 taels I will eat." Ji Jing had no choice but to smile.
Speaking of the emptiness of the treasury, Fan Zhongyan was also melancholy.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, he has a lot of plans in his heart, but he can't do anything without money.
"In addition, I will give you another 10,000 catties of high-yield grain seeds, remember that this grain must not be wasted, and this kind of grain will be promoted in the Dazhou paddy field in the future." Ji Jing explained.
Ji Jing gave Fan Zhongyan a high-yield waterway that Yuan Da researched on the earth, which can reach a yield of 1,000 catties per mu.
Although he didn't know where the lord got the rice seeds, Fan Zhongyan didn't ask.
"Minister, obey the order." Fan Zhongyan said in a deep voice.
"As for the imperial examination, I will do what you said, and I will find some business talents, and I plan to develop business."
"Lord, businessmen seek profits, and it is not appropriate to support." Fan Zhongyan shook his head and objected.
"If you could fill my treasury, I wouldn't be able to support commerce." Ji Jing smiled.
"This ......"
Fan Zhongyan scratched his head and said cautiously: "Lord, the treasury is more or less full. β
"If you don't say it, it's worth ten thousand taels."
Ten thousand taels is not a specific number, but refers to many, many people.
Fan Zhongyan suddenly wilted.
"The ministers will announce the world and look for business talents." Fan Zhongyan gritted his teeth and said.
Commerce must be carried out, and a country cannot become rich by relying on agriculture alone, and if it cannot afford to become rich, it will not be able to expand its territory.
And among the heroes he drawn, it seems that one of them is a business talent, so he should come to report.
