Taichu Palace, Wucheng Palace, Wuhou Chang Dynasty.

Since Quan Ce took office as the waiter of Luantai, he held his first court meeting.

From the county duke of the second grade, from the official position of the Luantai squire of the second grade, among the Chang Dynasty, there are very few people who are present before him.

The prime minister's class has been engaged in government affairs in turn, and the year is nearly halfway through, and the affairs are becoming more and more complicated, and the focus is still on the issue of financial endowment.

At this time, the imperial court levied taxes, followed the Sui Shi formulated the rent system, is to tax the people, each Ding Nasu two stones, silk two zhang, Mian three taels, the same as the government military system, based on the people and the land system, with the gradual increase in households and land annexation intensified, so that the original each adult Ding granted a hundred acres of land is difficult to continue, but the tax is unchanged, the self-cultivated farmers often get the land for one person, to pay the tax of several people, the burden is heavy, can bear, but also difficult and hard, unbearable, then compete to flee from production.

Therefore, although everything is stable this year, there are no major natural disasters, and there has been no large-scale use of troops in the territory, the spring tax released by various provinces and prefectures is only a little more than in previous years, and it is much worse than the peak period in the past.

However, this sign did not arouse the vigilance of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and they only thought that it was a normal fluctuation affected by the legacy of last year, and the focus of attention and discussion was on how to distribute the financial endowment.

Quan Ce sat firmly on the couch, listened to the talk of Wu Sansi and Doulu Congchang and other prime ministers, then frowned, lost the interest of listening to it again, Gong Gong Zhugong, although he was in power, but in the face of such a major matter, he only cared about his own interests, and was no different from the old woman who bought vegetables in the vegetable market.

It's just that this seems to be a good opportunity for him who has just entered the center.

Prime ministers and high-ranking officials, you sang and I appeared, and when I heard the martial arts, her brows furrowed, and she snorted lightly, "Shut up, this matter is the responsibility of the local official yamen, Wei Qing, according to the priority, draw up the degree branch Chen Shang"

"Obey the order" Wei Xun bowed down to receive the order, his face was sad, as the younger brother of the Wei family, the princess of Luling, he won the blue eyes of the martial queen with his unique trembling style, which was also an outlier.

Here is another prime minister's class, Luantai Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi Wang Fangqing walked out of the queue in all directions, and generously stated, "Your Majesty, the great politics of the country with wealth, the affairs of the local officials and yamen are heavy, but at present, only Lu Shangshu and Wei Shilang are in charge of their own affairs, and Wei Shilang is also in charge of Taifu Temple, which is quite cramped.

"Well, this matter is not false, Wei Qing is indeed hardworking" Empress Wu glanced down at him, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Does Wang Xiang have the right talents to be qualified for this position?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no recommendation for the time being" To everyone's expectations, Wang Fangqing actually broke the conventional routine, only planted trees and did not take advantage of the shade, provoked the conversation, bowed and saluted, and Shi Shiran retreated.

Empress Wu seemed to be smiling, and she didn't think she was angry, so she waved her hand and said, "You can recommend and speak freely."

The voice fell, and a Lang official in a light brown robe jumped out of the back row, "Your Majesty, Li Ba thinks that the heart of the local official Yamen court, especially at this time when the wealth is tight, should choose the people of Mao Qin, who are familiar with financial management, and recommend the king of Hanoi to serve as the local official waiter, although the king of Hanoi was convicted of dereliction of duty in leading the army, but he has considerable economic ability, and he thinks that he should not be wasted because of choking."

"Hehe" Empress Wu chuckled, noncommittal, "Speaking of leading troops and the economy, I think of something."

"Quan Ce" Empress Wu opened her mouth, her eyes rounded, and she soon found Quan Ce's figure, her expression was cold, "I have given you time to take charge of the heavy training of the left and right leading guards, how is the progress now?" ”

Quan Ce got up and left the couch, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, under the auspices of Wu Yanji, the king of Nanyang, the left and right leading guards have cut more than 25,000 posts, and only 11,000 people remain, completing the first step to eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and the next step will be step-by-step, with the method of training the right jade guard, to reorganize the army, in a short period of time, there is no gap in military funds"

Hearing this, the courtiers were in an uproar for a while.

The left and right leading guards are the barriers of Chang'an, the western capital, more than 30,000 people, cut down with a knife, cut off two-thirds of the posts, and support one person with three people's money, so naturally there will be no gap.

"Quan Shilang, the reduction of posts can certainly save money, but how can the generals and officers at all levels in the army involved settle down and divert them? Do you have a big plan? Xia Guanshangshu Liu You begged to come out and question, this princess of Taiping's head horse, has been a little bit against Quan Ce recently, in the Turkic case, Quan Ce sent the right Yu Xuan Wei death group out of the fortress, pretending to fight hard with the Later Turks, and he is also an opponent.

"The generals and the officials, etc., do not move for the time being, wait for the retraining to begin, twice a month, the colonel, the last official will either be dismissed, or find a place to go, and the left and right leaders and guards will not be left" Quan Ce did not look back at him, and responded by himself.

"Quan Shilang's move, although the reason is legitimate, but if it causes the army's morale to be unstable......" Liu Youqiu also noticed the coldness of Quan Ce, but he still said it head-on.

"In the army, outside of law and discipline, strength is respected, and this officer will also personally participate in the colonel, if anyone has objections, he will come out and talk to me with his own ability" Quan Ce interrupted him with a flick of his robe sleeves, turned around, and his eyebrows were sensitive, "Liu Shangshu, you are the military commander, if you are interested, you can also take the lead"

Liu Youqiu's breath stagnated, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he gave up his hand again and again, and returned to his shift in embarrassment, not daring to say anything more.

"Uh-huh" The corners of Empress Wu's mouth curled slightly, and she coughed lightly, "The exercise and training have been quite successful, but it is impossible for me to use only these 11,000 people in the Western Capital, and in the future, there will still be a gap in military funds, so what should I do?" ”

Quan Ce made up his mind, "By His Majesty's grace, the ministers from the Shaofu called for ten thousand yuan, gathered the gentry of the divine capital to donate, got three million yuan of money, and went to sea in February to trade with the Japanese country, and everything is going smoothly at present."

"According to Luo Wucheng's report, in about two or three days, the first batch of proceeds will be transported to Beijing, which will be more than enough to support military training."

"In time, the copper needed by Du Shangshu, the ordnance supervisor, can also be solved"

Empress Wu nodded slightly, closed her eyes slightly, and stopped talking.

The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee had different expressions, and there was silence.

The impeachment of the queen of the Japanese kingdom is well known, but no one has taken advantage of the topic, and it is true that the aftermath of the Turks, Western Turks and Tibetans has not subsided after the power is cleaned up, and no one is willing to fight against him in the field of foreign domains.

Seeing this, Quan Ce was not stage frightened, anyway, he held the reason, and simply preemptively, "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the queen of the Japanese kingdom, Lu Ye Zanliang, Li Ling Zhizhi was dizzy, disregarded the law, treacherous, and plotted the land and mountains that the Great Zhou caravan had purchased, and there was no one to be a minister, so I asked Your Majesty to send an envoy to admonish and uphold justice."

"Huh? There is such a thing" Empress Wu looked slightly surprised, and turned her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, "I seem to have heard of this Cormorant Zanliang?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Sonno Zanliang played the national letter, impeached the Quan Shilang for conniving at the ferocious and robbing the vassals" Shangguan Wan'er acted very cooperatively, "The concubine is also Nahan, and the caravan of the Quan Shilang brought a huge amount of money to the sea, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he went to loot"

Wu Sansi listened to the whole scene, observed the words and looks, and already had a score in his heart, and immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the two sides are in dispute, they should be ordered to send officials and subordinates to investigate thoroughly, and in order to ensure safety, you can send more border troops to accompany you."

"In this way, will others think that Da Zhou is bullying the weak?" Empress Wu hesitated.

Wu Sansi was even more determined, and Chong Quan Ce smiled, "Your Majesty, you might as well get closer and let Goguryeo and Silla send envoys to go together as a witness."

"Ministers seconded the proposal", Di Renjie and others came out to agree.

"Okay, just think twice" Empress Wu slapped the table case and made a decision.
