Chapter 1822: The heat is almost over
Within two days, Cheng Chuliang and Li Siwen led the 500 forbidden army out of Chang'an, ready to go along the canal to suppress bandits, mainly because the canal generation is more chaotic, but the problem is that this generation is the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, the population is concentrated here, so the tax revenue is also concentrated here, so the robbers are also concentrated here, this is the north-south artery, the radiation range is very wide, who has nothing to run to Lingnan to rob, half a day can not find a person, the orchard in Guangzhou, you don't need to rob, you pick as much as you want, how much can you take.
But the imperial court claimed to the outside world that it was a 5,000-strong forbidden army, anyway, bragging is not illegal, Han Yi is not blowing to death, and at the same time he asked these forbidden troops to carry a large number of Datang Daily newspapers, anyway, just spread along the way.
This issue of Datang Daily is to officially announce the reduction and exemption of taxes in most states and counties next year, and the original delaying tactic only said that the government is not allowed to collect taxes, but it is not said that it is officially reduced or reduced, but Han Yi announced that it will officially reduce taxes for one year, and Li Zhi has no opinion, because it cannot be collected.
In addition, it is necessary to crack down on those robbers and smugglers, who are bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Of course, the main thing is to brag about yourself, Chang'an has been stabilized, the crisis is about to pass, Han Xiaoge is all kinds of mighty and domineering, handsome and unstoppable, just ask you who are traitors and criminals are afraid.
.....
Officials!
"Excuse me, what are you doing?"
Han Yi came to the ministry, and without saying a word, he questioned Cui Jiji, Lu Shigua, and Di Renjie.
Di Renjie wondered, "Didn't Shang Shuling let us streamline our officials?" โ
"Streamlining, that's just the official term." Han Yi looked at him with a dark face, "I have repeatedly told you that you can draw circles, just because you are in a hurry, you can draw hundreds of circles, I can do it alone for an hour, so many of you have been doing it for so long." โ
Wang Xuandao was a little speechless and said: "It's really a circle!" โ
Han Yi smiled: "Do you think I have the kung fu to joke with you at this time?" โ
Ren Zhigu said aggrievedly: "But it's only been a few days. โ
He now sleeps two hours a day, and he really works day and night, and you are still not satisfied.
Han Yi asked, "Do you know how many people have died in the past few days?" Do you want me to give you a number? โ
Di Renjie argued: "Could it be that if we finish it in an hour, we won't die?" I think these are two different things? โ
Han Yi snorted, "Who told you that these are two different things? Now that the policy of streamlining officials has been announced, this list is not out, which official is in the mood to work, and now that the imperial court is employing people, do I have to do everything, I can't do it even if I have three heads and six arms! Moreover, the state needs money at the moment, and I have to collect the officials' jobs and properties, are you sure that these are two different things? โ
Di Renjie was silent.
Now that you're the boss, you have a point in what you say.
Cui Jijian looked at Han Yi with a little confusion, and said secretly, why is he in such a hurry to streamline officials? Oh... I understand, he made these things out, he must have a way to end it, but he hasn't taken it out, he is afraid that if he saves it, when the queen and they all come out, this matter may turn yellow, so he is in such a hurry. So he said, "Give us three more days, and within three days, we will be done." โ
"That's what you say, if it's not done within three days, circle your name. Oh, don't say goodbye to me, I don't have time. โ
Han Yi glared at them, then turned around and went out, leaving them with a very powerful and domineering back.
After coming out of the ministry, Han Yi went to the household department again.
"The data you want has already been counted."
As soon as Han Yi arrived, Zhang Daxiang immediately handed over the workshop information about the imperial court.
"It's still your work that reassures me, just those young people who are Cui Ji's blade, it's really unreliable." Han Yi took the information and felt very comforted.
Zhang Daxiang couldn't help but remind him: "They all seem to be older than you." โ
"If they want to compare with me, then why do they live in the world?" Han Yi snorted.
Zhang Daxiang's face froze, he was older, and it was very unpleasant to hear it!
Han Yi took the information and flipped through it, and after half an hour, he took out a pile of materials from it, put it on the table, and said: "You hurry up and let people draft a notice, if anyone is willing to take over these workshops, as long as they are guaranteed to be able to operate at full capacity for a year, then this workshop will be given to them for free, and we will send professionals to guide them and help them sell goods." โ
As if he hadn't heard clearly, Zhang Daxiang whispered: "Send --- to them?" โ
Han Yi nodded.
Zhang Daxiang hurriedly picked up the information and looked at it, although they were not all small and medium-sized workshops, but they were all money, and then said: "How can this be done, this is what the imperial court bought with money, and some are newly built, and now the imperial court is so short ......of money." โ
Han Yi said: "I know, but now that these things are vacant there, what can they do to help, if you don't even have to eat, do you care if this house is built with money?" Moreover, we cannot stop if we do not think of a way to fundamentally solve these problems, we must continue to release good news, give the people confidence, let the people believe in the imperial court, and wait until they come up with a way, the people will obey our arrangement. โ
Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it." โ
.....๏ผ
Feng Fei Lou!
"Comfortable! It's so comfortable! Use a little more, oh--- this is it, ah--- cool! โ
Han Yi was lying on the recliner, closing his eyes and moaning, while behind him stood a stunning beauty with slender jade hands, kneading on his shoulders.
This beauty is Gu Qingcheng.
"Allure, you are really omnipotent, you are better than the maids in Xiao Mansion, you are professional!"
Han Yi praised it.
Gu Qingcheng said expressionlessly: "You say this because the maid of the Xiao Mansion is not here. โ
Han Yi opened his eyes and said, "Women should be stupid, so that men's lies will make women happy." โ
Gu Qingcheng said lightly: "Women think the same way. โ
Han Yi laughed.
Gu Tingcheng asked again: "Do you still have to write those articles later?" โ
"Of course you have to write, this can't be stopped!" Han Yidao.
Gu Qingcheng was curious: "Why?" โ
Han Yi said: "Can I trust you? โ
Gu Tingcheng said: "I don't count it." โ
"Alright! Believe in you once. Han Yi sighed: "Actually, I also know that you feel sick when you blow like this every day." โ
"Nope!"
"Your maid said you couldn't even eat."
โ......๏ผโ
Han Yi smiled and said: "But I can't help it, this is actually just my delaying tactic, I really have no way to solve this problem at the moment, but if I don't do anything, the people will lose confidence in me, which will make things worse, I can only brag about the court, so that the people will have confidence in us." โ
Gu Tingcheng asked, "You are so smart, you really can't do anything at all?" โ
Han Yi sighed: "I'm very smart, I agree with this, but the problem, Li Yifu is a little too big, the central government has no money, the local government has no money, and the local government is closed, even if I want to collect taxes, no one will help me collect them, and I won't change money, alas... I'm so exhausted! โ
Gu Qingcheng said: "But I think you seem to be very relaxed." โ
Han Yi smiled bitterly: "That's all for others to see, if I am sad every day, then everyone knows that I have no idea." You're so smart, do you have an idea? โ
Gu Tingcheng said: "I'm a woman, where did I get the idea!" โ
Han Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said, "Then press it for a while, maybe it will give me inspiration." โ
......
But no matter what, Han Yi's policy still plays a positive role.
After the household department posted the notice, those small workshops were immediately robbed by many merchants and landlords.
After all, now that the wind has changed, Han Yi is back, and Li Yifu and they are under house arrest. And everyone knows that Han Yi's consistent policy is mercantilism, then this workshop doesn't need money, as long as you recruit people and give a bite to eat, then this workshop will be given to you, this is a low-cost investment, it is definitely worth a gamble, not only businessmen, even landlords and some officials have begun to take action, because these workshops are small workshops with less than fifty people, and they can afford it, especially officials, they are facing an unemployment crisis.
This is actually betting on the future policy direction, and in the current situation, it is not cost-effective to acquire a workshop.
It means that there is one less circle of unemployed displaced people in the city, and the people are more confident.
At the same time, the work of streamlining officials has all ended, and the military side is actually faster, because Li Ji took the lead in canceling all the official positions of his grandsons, and all the benefits were also waived.
Because the military is to lay off those son-in-law soldiers, that is, those second-generation, the real merit has not moved, because these son-in-law soldiers are all under their control, and Li Ji has laid off his grandson, and the parents of those people are not good to say anything, and they will not lose the hearts of the people, if those generals who have made contributions in the army are cut, then the army's morale may be chaotic, I am here to help you fill the gaps, you also laid me off, no one will try their best to do it.
Of course, the highlight of this is Wenchen, because the increase in officials in recent years is mainly from Wenchen, and Wu Meiniang's variegated inflow has increased by thousands of officials at once.
But there is still a mountain high, this Han Yi is more ruthless than Wu Meiniang, and thousands of officials were cut in an instant, which is something that has never been done before. Li Shimin was not so arrogant at the beginning, Li Shimin streamlined the officials at that time, it was a very long process, all kinds of assessments, and the best were selected, and Cui Jijian They completely relied on their own impressions to select the officials who stayed in office, and they didn't need any assessment, so they were all doing things with a guilty heart, because it was absolutely unfair.
But now that tens of thousands of people have been displaced, that's fair in comparison.
Han Yi didn't look at it himself, anyway, the number of people was right, so he asked Cui Jijian to show Li Zhi the list, and Li Zhi just glanced at it and allowed it, and he didn't know who he kept, in fact, there were people in the Xiao family and the Yang family who were laid off.
Anyway, Han Yi let them draw circles, which means that they can cut whatever they want.
Although the Xiao family felt unhappy, mainly because they couldn't get over their face, they didn't go to Han Yi to make trouble, after all, Han Yi was Shang Shuling, the first person in the dynasty, and his power alone was greater than Li Ji, because there were many generals in the military, not Li Ji alone had the final say, in terms of administration, Han Yi alone had the final say, and some of their grandsons were sent to the northwest by Han Yi to be officials, and they were not implicated, they were also waiting at home, and they would talk about it later.
Li Zhi doesn't care about any talent now, so many talents have turned out to be like this, he is already disheartened with talents, and he is not afraid that Han Yi will take the opportunity to consolidate his power, because Han Yi has a confidant in the DPRK, and he has laid off so many people in such a short period of time, if he wants to take the opportunity to win people's hearts, he has no time, and Han Yi has not seen it at all.
Moreover, Han Yi is an official below the fourth grade, an important minister, and it must be the emperor who is in charge, Han Yi still has this bit of proportion, but almost all the ministers of the third rank are under house arrest.
When this notice was posted, the entire officialdom suddenly wailed!
This is comparable to a political atomic bomb.
Many people complain about grievances and feel very wronged, I am so conscientious, fulfill my duties, serve the country loyally, get up early and be greedy for darkness, you actually laid me off, this is really unfair.
If you hit this stick, then whether you are a capable minister, a loyal minister, a traitorous minister, or a minister, you will definitely be hit, and it is impossible not to be hit, the area of the blow is too wide, and it was completed in a very short time.
Luoyang is even more terrifying, Luoyang is to return to the Zhenguan period, to be calculated according to the proportion, the proportion of Luoyang officials increased, in fact, it is higher than Chang'an, because Wu Meiniang originally hoped to make Luoyang her base camp and transfer the administrative center to that side, but she did not transfer the officials of Chang'an to the past, so the number of officials increased a lot.
As a result, Han Yi burned it clean as soon as he set it on fire.
Because Wu Meiniang was promoted just now, the official position is definitely not high, and the Luoyang Big Three, Han Yi is not moving, but those people are not Wu Meiniang's people, they are all Li Zhi's people, and Li Feng is Li Zhi's imperial uncle.
It is equivalent to posting this notice, and almost all the entire outer court forces that Wu Meiniang has worked so hard to build up have been swept out, and those who have not been swept out are all under house arrest at home, and what they will face is not as simple as being laid off, then they have to take off a layer of skin if they don't die.
Li Zhi is now enduring, stabilizing the country first, and then going to them to settle accounts.
Han Yi completed the reversal of Wu Meiniang in an instant, why did Han Yi plan to go home to keep filial piety, that is, he also knew that he couldn't play Wu Meiniang, the power gap was too big, and he was not a god, but now, Han Yi is in an absolute advantage.
As for all the things that were there, they were all erased, and they did not mention it, and they took back all their jobs and fields.
This caused extreme anger among the officials, and they all blocked the officials' headquarters and demanded an explanation.
Han Yi said that the treasury has no money and can't afford to support so many people.
You guys make a fuss as much as you want, I don't care, anyway, it's already chaotic outside, there are not many more of you, and there are no fewer of you. Moreover, at the entrance of the official office, there are all people standing there with knives, and you may not dare to do it.
These officials are very pitiful, because they dare not go to the streets to make trouble, instigate the people, and put pressure on the imperial court, because Han Yi wrote in advance in the Datang Daily that the reduction of officials is to reduce the pressure on the people, and officially announced that most states and counties will be exempted from taxes next year, including Chang'an.
Although many of these officials have high prestige among the people, do they dare to jump now?
The people's idea is very simple, if the officials are not reduced, they may have to pay taxes next year, we have no food, you just have no official positions, or everyone will change it.
Although Han Yi didn't care about them, this didn't mean that the court would just let them go.
Because the emperor has not yet settled accounts with them, Gyeonggi is blocked, and the officials can only make trouble, and he can't leave.
......
......
As soon as Han Yi returned to the North Lane that evening, he saw Peng Jing standing at the entrance of the alley, because the North Lane was blocked, and he couldn't get in.
Han Yi took Beixiang directly to the Women's Federation Bureau.
When he came to the second floor, Han Yi said, "What's the situation outside now?" โ
Peng Jing said: "Since everyone learned that the proprietor returned to the imperial court, the situation has been immediately eased somewhat, coupled with the recent Cheng Chu Liang led the forbidden army south to suppress the bandits, as well as the Datang Daily sent by the proprietor, the situation in various places has not continued to deteriorate, and many people are looking forward to the proprietor being able to rescue them." โ
"Are you being sarcastic about me?"
"Don't dare."
Peng Jing said busily.
"What are you doing so nervously, I'm just talking about it." Han Yi smiled, and said with a straight face: "What about the land annexation?" โ
Peng Jing hurriedly said: "About this matter is as the proprietor expected, since everyone learned from the Datang Daily that Chang'an has stabilized, many people think that the proprietor can help the imperial court through this crisis, at the beginning of the merchants of Muzhou and Yangzhou, they have made a fortune in recent years, but now the business road is not passable, and their trading is not very easy to do, but they have a lot of grain in their hands, so they sent people to the states and counties along the way to buy land, plus we instigated it, landlords from all over the country, The gentry also began to merge land in a frenzy, and many of the common people were forced to become tenant farmers of the landlords, but in doing so the countryside became stable. โ
Han Yi asked again: "Those smugglers, robbers, what is the situation now?" โ
Peng Jing said: "Because Cheng Chuliang is menacing with the forbidden army, they are all a little afraid, so they don't dare to act rashly, and now there are fewer people blocking the road and robbing them." โ
Han Yi asked, "What about the money and food they get?" โ
"It's all hidden, who dares to take it out at this time, not to mention our people, even those landlords who have helped us smuggle, are hiding money and grain everywhere, for fear of being caught. But the proprietor, that Cheng Chuliang led 5,000 forbidden troops to the south and arrested people everywhere, if it goes on like this, our own people are in danger, whether it is smugglers or robbers, but there are our people. โ
"Five thousand people, five hundred people in total, that's all scary, and I made them do it." Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "Because this situation won't last long, you ask Tan Dong to prepare all the money and food for me, and wait for my order, and then I will launder all this dirty money in one fell swoop and see the light of day again." โnt
