Chapter 64: The New Cabinet
Ye Tong was shocked when he heard it! Astonished! Just kidding! On the basis of 2 million dollars, it is increased by a hundred times, how much is that! It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked after calculating, a hundred times is 200 million dollars. If you still have the above, then you will grab it directly, so why not distinguish between the treasury and the royal treasury.
Hehe!
"Your Majesty, how dare you speak! Do you know what the concept of 2 million dollars is and then 100 times? Don't be funny, Hanzhong County, Shu County, and Ba County can't collect so much money in a year, not to mention that the people who moved from Guanzhong and Luoyang are also exempt from tax for five years.
The taxes paid in the jurisdiction are not enough for His Majesty to use alone, Your Majesty, you know, ordinary people only have an income of two or three thousand dollars a year; The prime minister's salary is only 1 million yuan a year, and His Majesty is twice as much as the prime minister, and he is not satisfied, pull it down! ”
The emperor's face was red with shame, and he still argued: "General, I have a lot of money to support. Does the general know how much money is spent in the palace in a year? ”
Hahaha!
Ye Tong glanced at the emperor with contempt, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, who asked you to raise so many people, don't those people have hands and feet, and they need relief."
Besides, even the prince and grandson should be paid according to their work, and the people are not obliged to help Your Majesty raise their children, if you want to be rich, Your Majesty, go and make money yourself! Don't hit the idea of the treasury, that is owned by the people of the world, whoever fights the idea of the treasury will cut off whose hand.
Also, even if His Majesty goes to make money and open a commercial enterprise such as a property or a royal estate, he must pay taxes according to the regulations. If Your Majesty wants to build an imperial village, you have to spend money to buy it, not to occupy any place you want, if someone wants the same place, then you have to bid, and the one with the highest price wins. ”
"That...... That, general, there are a large number of palace maids and eunuchs in my palace, and those people always have to be supported and paid. There is still 2 million yuan is really not enough, so many princesses, and there will be children in the future, how can it be enough! ”
Hehe!
"Your Majesty, if you have the ability and money, you can marry a few more concubines, no one will interfere, and if you don't have money, you will marry less, in the draft of the Constitution of the Qin Empire, there is no provision that the emperor must have three palaces and six courts, and how many wives he must beg. Moreover, in the future, it is not allowed to draft girls, talented women and the like.
The emperor, the prince, and the grandson want to ask for a wife, and they go outside to get acquainted, and the other party is willing to marry. If the other party is unwilling to marry, the royal family cannot rob it, let alone occupy it, otherwise it will break the law and touch the criminal law, which will be criminally responsible.
Also, by the way, tell Your Majesty that anyone who is a descendant of Yan and Huang cannot be enslaved. All the servants and subordinates of the big households, palaces and other families, as long as they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, must be unconditionally released, and the contract of slavery must be lifted, and those who violate it will be killed.
In the future, if you enslave a foreigner, you must go to the yamen to notarize the contract, and the private person signing it is invalid. One more point, Your Majesty, remember that whoever is willing to work in a large household or in the palace must perfect the employment contract.
Whether it is the palace or a large household, the salaries of palace maids, eunuchs, subordinates, and servants must be paid at least according to the minimum salary standard prescribed by law, and there is no upper limit on overpayment. Therefore, Your Majesty, if you can't afford to raise so many people, you will release the eunuchs and palace maids home.
By the way, Your Majesty, let's talk together, after Xianyang is recovered, Afang Palace is too big, and it is estimated that His Majesty has no money to repair it, and he will not be able to live in such a big palace.
The grass people are going to list the Afang Palace as owned by the state, build a tourist attraction, open it to the subordinates, and enter the Afang Palace to visit, so that the people can see how the emperor enjoys the luxurious palace and how he lives luxuriously.
People who enter the Afang Palace to visit, each person charges an admission fee of ten yuan, and this income is the maintenance fee of the Afang Palace, which is earmarked for special purposes, and when the income is long, you can consider building the palace again. ”
As soon as Ye Tong's words were finished, in the emperor's palace, the eunuchs and palace maids in the distance applauded. If it weren't for the emperor's presence, it is estimated that long live Ye Tong and long live the general would have been called.
"General, what you mean is that in the future, the children of the royal family must do things to support themselves, and the state is not responsible for the raising of the prince, grandson, and daughter."
"Your Majesty, you are quite right, the prince, the grandson, and the daughter are also human beings, not gods, and the people have no obligation to help the emperor raise his children. You have to do it yourself, and you have enough food and clothing. To put it bluntly, princes, grandsons, and princesses are the same as ordinary people, they have to work and can't sit back and enjoy their success. If His Majesty has the money to support, it's okay if he doesn't work, anyway, the country doesn't care. ”
The new emperor has only now discovered that the draft constitution of the Qin Empire is a law that specifically restricts imperial power, and with this constitution, it is too difficult to make trouble.
"Your Majesty, are there any more questions? If you don't have it, please sign it and issue an edict. ”
The emperor's son was unwilling and unwilling, but he did not dare to resist, so he could only obediently sign his name, cover his private jade seal, write an edict, and stamp the jade seal.
After Ye Tong took the draft of the "Constitution of the Qin Empire" and the edict signed by the emperor's son, he handed it to Wei Yu casually and let the old man take a look.
"Your Majesty, there is another matter, if the Black Ice Platform in your hand is not handed over to serve the country, it will soon be classified as a terrorist organization and a cult, and it will be destroyed devastatingly. Please inform all members of the Black Ice Observatory that they must report to the relevant departments within three months, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. ”
"Alright! I will order the members of the Black Ice Observatory to report to the relevant departments, and announce the disbandment of the Black Ice Terrace. ”
Hehe!
"Well, now that Your Majesty has signed it, the edict has been issued. Then today, in front of the emperor, it was announced that the first cabinet of the Great Qin Empire would be formed. Because of the extraordinary period, it was impossible to improve various systems, parliaments and other organizational structures at once, so the members of the first cabinet of the Great Qin Empire announced it themselves. ”
Cabinet: Prime Minister - Xiao He, Deputy Prime Minister - Qin Hui. The secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Forestry is temporarily concurrently served by Xiao He; The secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation is temporarily concurrently served by Qin Hui; Chen Ping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wei Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Shangguan Wan'er, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Huang Yueying, the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Bai Lixin, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Cheng, the secretary of the Propaganda Department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites are temporarily empty.
Bingge: Ye Tong is in charge, with the General Staff Department, the Operations Department, the Intelligence Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department, the Officer Department, etc., and the members are: Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Jiang Song, Hua Mulan, Peng Yue, Zhang Han, Dong Peng, Zhou Bo, Li Shuo, Lin Xiao, Chen Qi and others.
Goshikaku! Cheng Yu presided, and his subordinates were then deployed.
Finally, one more point is that those who have a military post cannot hold a civilian position, and they can only engage in civilian employment after three years of retirement from the military. This is an iron law, and it is also stipulated in the Constitution of the Qin Empire that no one shall violate it.
As soon as Ye Fairy Tale ended, the applause was thunderous, and the entire palace resounded in the sky. In addition to the emperor's son and baby, whether it was the military officials under Ye Tong, or the eunuchs, palace maids, and soldiers in the palace, they all applauded and supported.
"Alright, a new page is turned, and everyone work hard! For the rise of the Great Qin Empire, in order to promote the process of civilization to dedicate their own strength! ”
Under great pressure, the emperor had no choice, pinched his nose and agreed to the cabinet members announced by Ye Tong, covered the jade seal, and issued an edict. The emperor Ziying knew that no one could help speak at this time, and even the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were facing Ye Tong.
"By the way, is the historian there?"
A handsome old man walked out and said respectfully: "General, the lowly position is a historian, and his name is Sima Shiyu, may I ask the general what to explain?" ”
Hehe!
"Master Sima, don't panic, General Ben just wants to ask, has what happened just now been recorded truthfully?"
"General, it has been recorded truthfully, does the general want to take a look?"
Ye Tong shook his head and refused to look at the historian's records, joking, he was not Li Shimin, doing the kind of thing to revise the historical records. Speaking of which, the authenticity of the Chinese historical records has been greatly reduced since Li Shimin's wanton revision of the historical records.
Li Shimin made a very bad start, so that later emperors followed suit, and they would inspect the records of the historians, revise them if they were not satisfied, and record them completely according to the emperor's intentions, so what is the authenticity at all.
"No, you did a very good job, the historian is to record the events that happened, not afraid of power, not afraid of the emperor, to ensure the authenticity of history."
After getting the edict and other documents, Ye Tong did not stay in the emperor's palace, but took his military officials and returned to the general's mansion to celebrate.
As soon as he returned to the general's mansion, Wei Yu came to him and asked: "Little guy, when did the old man promise to go out of office, and what kind of military secretary did he serve, the old man told you, don't dream, the old man won't do it." ”
Alas! Another old stubborn.
"Old lady, if you don't do the military department, then who will do it? The Constitution of the Qin Empire stipulates that soldiers do not participate in politics, and if soldiers want to work in the administrative department, they must leave the military department for more than three years. This general's subordinates are all soldiers, no one is the secretary of the military department, the old lady is just a temporary substitute, and if there is a suitable candidate, he will be replaced immediately, so it's good! ”
The old man squirmed for a few minutes, and finally said: "Little guy, it's okay, when someone replaces it, it will be done immediately, and the old man will only be temporary for a while." ”
Hehe!
If you are all in office, you have to unload your burden, don't dream about it. Ye Tong must have grabbed Wei Yu to the death. Just kidding, the top strategists, everyone in the art of war, can let him be idle and retire, God does not tolerate it.
"Alright! Do whatever you want. He turned to the internal guard and said, "Call Xu Ying, General Ben has something to explain." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Xu Cheng came in, he was full of smiles and said with a smile: "General, what are you looking for?" ”
Shame!
It sounded weird, as if it was going to do something bad.
"Xu Negative! General Ben called you here to get you to publish the Constitution of the Qin Empire and various laws in Focus magazine. One issue must not be published, you can consider publishing it in multiple issues, the number of printing can be increased, and it is necessary to ensure that each village in the jurisdiction has a copy. ”
"Okay!" Xu Cheng thought for a while and said, "General, if you can't issue it to the village, what should you do?" ”
Hehe!
"Secretary Xu, won't you hand over the printed "Focus" to the cabinet for processing, that is to publicize the principles and policies of the Qin Empire for the cabinet, and the cabinet will definitely give it its full support."
"Got it."
At this moment, Mulan ran in and shouted: "Brother general, everyone has officials to do, why didn't my sister catch anything!" ”
Ye Tong's face was black.
"That's... That Mulan! You are already the commander of the division, and only Jiang Song and Han Xin are at the same level as you in the military cabinet, and no one else is as high as you. Isn't the division commander an officer? Is it good to be an officer? You must know that in the same rank, the treatment of officers is several levels higher than that of civilian officials. ”
Hee-hee!
"Brother General, that's it! Does it mean that my sister is also an official? ”
"Of course, it's a high-ranking officer!"
"Brother General, thank you!"
Sweat!
What did General Scheben do? It's your own hard work to be promoted, and it has nothing to do with Ye Tong. Ye Tong himself can't control the system, when the merit is reached, the system will automatically promote him, if he can't reach it, it is impossible to be promoted.
Han Xin walked in and reported: "General, how to deal with the capture of 10,000 emperors' soldiers and horses?" ”
"I worked hard for three years, and I was released when I was done. As for the captives of the Black Ice Platform and the Assassin Gate, they will be detained first, and will not be released for the time being, and will wait for the emperor to publicize the disbandment of the Black Ice Platform. If within three months, the Black Ice Platform and the Assassin Gate do not come to report, they will all be wiped out according to terrorist organizations and cults. ”
"Yes!"
