Ang listened to the terrifying figures, his brows furrowed, Guan Wenxuan said that after the expenditure of various localities in the prefecture, county and county, he would pay the taxes to the central government, he could not have imagined that in less than thirty years, the number of officials would increase eightfold, and Yulu would account for half of the annual income, and if this continued, the country would be dragged down by a huge bureaucracy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Supervision Yuan also did a survey, except for Chang'an, Bianjing and other big cities, the people of our dynasty spend two gold baht a month can be regarded as a medium-sized family, and the smallest official in my dynasty, a month of two gold baht to three gold baht, if you count the local subsidies, their monthly salary is about five gold baht, you can think about it, according to this algorithm, in fact, our dynasty is actually 600 million gold baht per year on the official salary."

"In addition, the expenditure of various localities in the prefectures, counties, and counties is several times higher than that of 30 years ago, and many of the officials I have increased over the years are actually superfluous, and the work done by a small official is done by two or three people, and if this goes on for a long time, the country will not be a country." Guan Wenxuan looked at the civil officials in the left hall and said in a deep voice.

Li Ang looked at the military faction, only to find that every general looked at those civilian officials, all of them had a gloomy face, in the past thirty years, these Confucian faction officials shouted that the wealth was insufficient, the people's livelihood was poor, and it turned out that the money had gone into their pockets.

"Your Majesty, the minister has finished speaking." Guan Wenxuan looked at the emperor on the throne, turned around and bowed.

"That's it, what else? Why don't you say it! The emperor looked at the courtiers in the center of the hall, and the light in his eyes was cold.

"Then the minister will be bold." Guan Wenxuan met the emperor's gaze. Turning to look at the civil officials in the left hall, his eyes swept over this group of Confucian officials who believed in self-cultivation, Qi family governance, and peace in the world. He spoke.

Li Ang looked at the right governor Yushi who almost pointed at those officials and told them about the crime of bribery, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the intelligence ability of the Supervision Yuan, and in the end, among the civil officials present, nearly thirty percent were on the list of the Supervision Yuan, and there were other people. Although it is not explicit, it is obviously inseparable.

On the officialdom, there are few people with clean butts, looking at those officials with pale faces, Li Ang couldn't help shaking his head, this time it seems that whether it is the emperor or the family, it is determined to carry out a purge of these Confucian faction officials, Li Ang dare not imagine that after letting these Confucian officials master the army. What will happen to the country, the interest groups formed by these officials, large and small, are far more terrible than those from the family.

The Great Pilgrimage. Unconsciously, it completely turned into a criticism of the Confucian faction officials by the Supervisory Yuan, and under those strings of figures, the self-defense of the Confucian faction officials seemed weak and pale, and no one would sympathize with them.

"That's enough." The emperor, who had been silent, finally spoke again, he could not imagine that these Confucian officials he had supported were so useless. Thinking that Emperor Taizu should not reuse the Confucian testament, the emperor felt that it was too late to regret it, and what he could do now was to correct his mistakes.

"The literati mislead the country, mislead the country!" The sigh that came from the emperor's mouth made the Confucian faction civil officials in the left hall bow down in fear, everyone knew that from today onwards, the era they called the world of cultivating literature would end, Confucianism would be driven out of the court again, and Legalism would regain control of the court.

looked at the officials who were bent down one by one, sincerely afraid. The Emperor was no longer interested in looking at them more, but only looked at the Inspectorate. "Why didn't you show me these sooner?"

"If the minister had presented it to His Majesty before, ask Your Majesty how much he can see." Guan Wenxuan met the emperor's questioning gaze and replied without flinching, since the founding of the Great Qin, the court has always been dominated by Legalist officials, and it was not until thirty years ago that the emperor personally supported Confucianism, and Legalism gradually weakened.

"You're right." Looking at the courtiers who answered indifferently, the emperor suppressed his anger and looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, "I will issue an edict to sin, go to the Taimiao Temple to confess to Taizu Taizong, and the government will be temporarily controlled by Longyuan Pavilion." After saying that, he stood up, no longer looked at the officials who were lying motionless and did not dare to move, and retreated straight to the court.

In the singing of the inner attendants, Li Ang stood up with the military generals beside him and walked out of the Weiyang Palace, for the military, it is a good thing that those Confucian faction officials were purged, but the resulting turmoil in the court will take at least one to two years to completely eliminate, although the expansion of the army was approved by the emperor, but at the moment, I am afraid that only after three years, can the real expansion of the army begin.

Walking on the palace road, Li Ang and Guo Nu walked side by side, frowning, with the current bureaucratic scale, at least two million must be removed to restore the country to normal, he doesn't know what the Legalists who have returned to the court will do.

"What are you thinking?" Looking at Li Ang, who was frowning, Guo Nu also frowned and asked.

"I was thinking that 30 years ago, almost one official had to manage 350 people, and I don't know how to do it." Leon replied, "I remember back then, when I was still at war with Rome, right? ”

"Although the officials of the Legalists sometimes seem to be unkind, they are much more vigorous and resolute than those Confucian officials, and they will never drag their feet." Guo Nu is a little nostalgic for the old days, "The biggest difference between Legalist officials and Confucian officials is that they don't have so much officialdom, and although they do things rigidly, they don't like to have relationships like Confucian officials. ”

"Those literati of Confucianism, let them have the most powerful ability to scold their mothers in the people, and really let them govern the country, that is, their eyes are black, and they are no different from blind people, in the past 30 years, Confucianism has produced a few slightly better officials, which is the Confucian one, not the Confucian one, the Confucian one is not bad, the one used to cultivate the Qi family is not bad, and the country is level, that is to blow big words."

"Will the Legalist officials return to the control of the court?" Li Ang thought for a moment and asked, he didn't know much about the Legalists.

"Since the time of Taizu, the Legalist officials have never dominated the court in the court, among the three provinces, the province must be a great family, six departments, the Ministry of Industry belongs to the Mo family, the Ministry of War belongs to the soldiers, and the Ministry of Rites belongs to Confucianism, they are only in charge of the remaining two provinces and three departments, and departments like the Ministry of Households, they usually find people from the 'miscellaneous family Lu Buwei', which is much better than Confucianism." Guo replied angrily. Then he laughed mockingly, "There are only Confucians." Regardless of whether they understand it or not, they wish that the court was full of their people, but as a result, there were few gentlemen, almost all of them were villains who tended to be inflammatory. ”

Listening to Guo Nu's complaint that it was not a whin, Li Ang also laughed, Confucianism

That set. After stripping off the great unification, it seems that there is nothing unique except for using it for self-cultivation and Qi family. Out of the gate of Weiyang Palace, after Li Ang said goodbye to Guo Nu, he rode to the military hall.

In the quiet room of the White Tiger Festival Hall, after listening to Li Angdi's reply, Guo Ran looked at him and smiled, "You don't have to worry about the Persian princess, it's just that someone wants to meet her." ”

Looking at the somewhat unfathomable smiling face, Li Ang was stunned. He thought that the Persian princess was taken away by the families involved, but it seemed like someone else.

"Alright. Let's get down to business! Guo Ran looked at Li Ang, and ordered the staff officers of the outer hall to take it into the sand table in the Western Regions and the river, and after they withdrew, he pointed to the sand table, bordering Wanzhou in the Western Regions, and said, "Presumably you should know the whole plan of going to Persia." First, he assassinated the crown prince with assassins, blamed Lower Persia, and when we had beaten Lower Persia to the same extent, we provoked a rebellion in the small country in the river, and when we returned to the army to quell the rebellion, we ate the whole of Lower Persia and re-established a unified Persian dynasty. ”

"It's a good idea." Guo Ran's eyes fell on the Hezhong area, which was called Tangzhou by Daqin, and he was a little cold, "The domestic family involved in this matter, Dongchang is already starting to investigate. You don't have to worry about it, the task given to you by Juntang and I is to eliminate the people in the six princely states of Tangzhou who have colluded with the Persians. ”

"Whoa!" Li Ang looked at the chief with a murderous face. He replied calmly that the Dark Cavalry Battalion, as a secret force directly under the military hall, was originally used to do these things.

"I heard that you are going to get married after the New Year, so hurry up and get things done." Glancing at Li Ang, who looked calm, Guo Ran patted him on the shoulder, "Remember to send a post to me and the old sleepy bug when the time comes." ”

"The last general knows, if there is nothing to do, he will retire first." Li Ang replied that he decided to spend more time with Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang during this time, and he didn't know how long he would go to Hezhong and when he would be able to return to Chang'an.

"Go ahead, it's good to spend more time with your family." Guo Ran sighed, looked at the figure of Li Ang leaving, and said quietly.

After the Great Dynasty Meeting, the cabinet was dissolved, and the Longyuan Pavilion, the staff office directly under the emperor, took over the government in an all-round way, followed by a large number of capable children of the Taixue Li Legalist Society and the Mo family, and the students of the Bingjia family and the Huang Lao School were transferred to the three provinces and six departments. A large number of officials of the original Confucian faction were dismissed from office, and the Supervision Yuan, with the assistance of the local army sent by the military hall, together with the Jinyi Guard, began to conduct an inventory of the assets of those officials and sent them to prison for questioning.

The 60,000 Black Cavalry Army, which was originally going to be sent to the river, was mobilized by the military hall to arrest the local officials together with the local inspectors of the Supervision Yuan, and escorted a new group of local officials to take up their posts.

The Spring Festival of the second year of the Qin calendar was spent in such a great turmoil, relying on the huge talent reserve of Taixue, the Great Qin completed the change of officials in Gyeonggi and the Central Plains, and the emperor's edict was also issued to the world, and the newspapers sent to various places made all the investigations of the Supervision Yuan in the past 30 years open to the people, which directly led to the second split in Confucianism.

"Fundamentalist Confucianism." Looking at the Confucian teachings reinterpreted by those young Confucian scholars in the 'Beijing Daily', Li Ang shook his head, the ideas of these young Confucian scholars are no different from extreme racism, and they even asked the emperor to send troops to destroy all barbarian countries that do not speak Chinese, do not write Chinese characters, do not wear Han clothes, do not learn Han etiquette, and do not use Han customs.

"Impractical." Putting down the 'Beijing News', Li Ang walked out of the study and looked at the vast sky, under the sky of Daqin, how many people had such thoughts, he couldn't help frowning.

"What are you thinking?" In the courtyard, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang walked towards Li Ang, their eyebrows and the corners of their eyes were full of joy with a smile.

"Nothing." Li Ang smiled at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, and suddenly said, "It's sunny today, let's go to Shuiyun Embroidery Village to have a look and make the clothes." ”

"Well, you just have an idea." Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang are both heroes among women in front of people, even people like Miss Zhuge have to convince them, but in front of Li Ang, they are just obedient and happy little women.

The three of them went to the street together, at this time Chang'an City, has recovered from the previous turmoil in the past prosperity, the crowded streets, everywhere is a prosperous scene, the elegance is peerless, the bright and moving Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang have attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, but as long as they are not blind, they can see that their hearts are all tied to the black-clothed officer who looks a little cold beside them.

It's just that there will always be people in this world who don't open their eyes, and there are many people who are timid, when Li Ang, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang walked to a street with fewer people, several sons and brothers surrounded them with domestic servants, and they saw that Li Ang had two silver dragon emblems pinned to his neckline, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, but he was entangled and said that he wanted to invite the three of them to drink together.

Feng Siniang looked at those boys with a smile, but there was a bit of coldness in her eyes, Lin Fengshuang beside her had a frosty face, and there was a lot of evil between her eyebrows. Looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, who would make a move at any time, Li Ang suddenly stood in front of them, looked at those boys and said, "Neiko doesn't like to drink with strangers, you better go!" ”

Seeing Li Ang speak, the boys were stunned, to be honest, they were a little afraid of this cold officer, but they looked at the entourage with the knife beside them, they were a little bolder, and they were still entangled, and they wanted to invite them to drink.

Li Ang saw that these boys still didn't know what to do, he couldn't help frowning, and suddenly pulled out the sword on the waist of one of the boys, he shot as fast as electricity, and when those boys came back to their senses, the sword was already in his hand.

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do?" The sword was snatched by the son's face turned pale with fright, if the cold officer in front of him just now wanted to kill him, I am afraid that his life would have been lost.

Looking at the entourage with nervous faces and hands on the waist knife, Li Ang smiled, and in their shocked eyes, he took the sword and folded it off one by one, only to see a few sons and brothers' faces like earth, and their bodies trembled.

"Do you want to invite Uchiko to drink?" Throwing away the bare hilt of the sword in his hand, Leon asked with a smile. The boys looked at the several sword bodies on the ground, and said again and again, "Don't dare, don't dare." Then he flew away, like a rabbit frightened by an eagle.
