An insignificant little official, who can be greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels, no matter what, it is shocking, as the Son of Heaven, Chai Rong can't be calm for a long time.

"Ye Qing, the greed of people's hearts is so much?"

Ye Hua sighed, "There is no strict legal process for imperial court procurement, how much grain is bought, how much steel is entered, a deputy director nods, and it can be put into the warehouse, and the merchant can get the money, even if it is rotten grain and inferior steel, there is no hindrance." Just report the loss. Anyway, as everyone knows, transporting grain to the Western Regions, in one stone, is only two or three buckets at most! ”

"But that's not the case!" Li Yu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's investigation, because for many years, the Great Zhou has been building roads, and the people have tried their best to use livestock and horses. A stone of grain, transported to the Western Regions, no accident, there should be three to four buckets, and when you are lucky, you can even have half of it! ”

Chai Rong nodded slightly, that's the way it is.

To report less is two buckets, if it is reported truthfully, it may be five buckets, the difference in the middle is very far, millions of stone of military rations, how much has been greedy for ink, it is really not clear!

It seems that since Guo Wei captured Youzhou, Da Zhou has been plagued by this problem.

Every time there is a war, the imperial court spends a lot of military spending, and less than half of it can really be used on the blade...... If it weren't for the Great Zhou's successive victories, he really couldn't afford such a big loss.

"Officials, finance and taxation!" Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Qing, Ye Qing, and Li Qing, you have to take care of all these for me!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

The three important ministers agreed together.

With Chai Rong setting the tone, the next big week entered an unprecedented period.

Wang Pu first rectified the official ...... The speaker is like the white blood cell of the human body, the first line of defense, the past speech official paid too much attention to private morality, and because of the rumors, the speaker is not guilty, gradually, the speech official has become a thug for some people.

Wang Pu deposed all the officials in one go...... Then, from among the local yamen, select people with outstanding political achievements, shrewd and capable personnel, and serve as imperial historians.

At the same time, he recruited a group of people with expertise from various schools, and he also found some old officials, as well as retired soldiers from the army...... The newly formed imperial history team must have experience, combat effectiveness, and professionalism.

The main focus of the audit temple is on economic issues, whether there are discrepancies in various expenditures...... The imperial history is more comprehensive, corrupt officials and corrupt officials cannot be let go, and mediocre officials who do nothing must also be impeached.

In this round of rectification, there is a situation that is very gratifying.

In the past, every rectification had a temporary effect, but after the rectification, because there were no suitable officials to fill the position, it would not be long before the old state of affairs would relapse and even become more severe.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, father and son, killed hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials, but the result has not stopped corruption, and the problem is here.

The situation of Da Zhou cannot be said to be perfect, but the talents accumulated over the years have played a role.

The younger generation, retired soldiers, teachers and students trained by new education, and financial talents from banks...... Wang Pu recruited talents and enriched these people into the officialdom.

The composition of the officials of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty has undergone a complete earth-shaking change.

What is Shinong Industry and Commerce?

Officials who do not do a good job will immediately step down, and other agricultural and industrial and commercial personnel, as long as they are talented, will have the opportunity to start as officials and become middle and high-level civil officials step by step.

To be honest, Wang Pu is much bolder than Ye Hua in employing people.

Don't talk about others, in Hedong back then, there was a small official named Zhao Yusheng, who was originally born in the army, and later became a petty official. Wang Pu was stunned and promoted him to the position of the prefect of Jinyang.

It stands to reason that this is already overpromoted, but Wang Pu is not satisfied, this time he directly transferred Zhao Yusheng to the capital, took over as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and was in charge of criminal names.

The current officials all have a feeling that they have fallen into the hands of their stepmother.

Shoufu Wang Pu is jealous and hateful, Li Yu of the audit temple does not show favoritism, plus Zhao Yusheng, who does not enter oil and salt. As long as you make a mistake, don't think about a good end.

Hundreds of officials want to cry without tears, but Ye Hua is quite happy, it is much better to let the officials cry than to make them laugh.

Seeing that no, at least the efficiency of the officials has improved a lot, and they don't dare to procrastinate, they are all cautious and trembling, for fear of losing their officials and resigning and losing their heads.

"Is this the Prosperous Age?"

Some people ask such questions.

The Son of Heaven is sage, the country is prosperous, the territory is vast, the officials are diligent, and the people dare not say how good it is, but few people are hungry...... It seems that the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties is just like that.

"Master Hou, have you heard that Your Majesty is going to be disarmed!"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know where to get the news, so he ran Ye Hua here to ask for advice.

"Disarmament?"

Ye Hua frowned, "I can't figure it out, how come you are all better informed than me...... Your Majesty, do you seem to be someone who can disarm? ”

Zhao Da smiled and scratched his head, "Master Hou, I also heard that when someone climbed Mount Tai, he saw the golden light, and there seemed to be a golden dragon flying in the air...... They say it's a prosperous age. Since it is a prosperous age, it is necessary to put the horse in Nanshan and put the knives and guns into storage! ”

"Fart!"

Ye Huacai didn't bother to listen to this set of rhetoric!

Since the year of Qin Shi Huang, there have been people who have been repeating the same story, whether it is prosperous or not, it is not to look at the glow in the sky, nor to see the fire burning the clouds!

"You're also an earl, care about something useful, don't be like a long-tongued woman all day long, spreading news everywhere!"

"How can I spread it everywhere?" Zhao Da was wronged, "Master Hou, the brothers below are indeed quite worried, for fear that the imperial court will disarm, and the big guy will not have a good life." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the saint won't cut off his arm, you see, it won't be long before Your Majesty will make a big move!"

Ye Hua didn't have any news, but he knew Chai Rong, as long as the treasury allowed, His Majesty the Emperor would not stop making progress!

"Jin Qiuzhen wants to order troops at the Jingxi University Campus, and the number of people must exceed 150,000!"

Chai Rong officially announced in the early dynasty, "After reviewing the three armies, these horses will go to the north in batches, and there is still an enemy, I can't let go!" ”

What His Majesty the Emperor is talking about is the Khitan!

Although he took back Yanyun, burned Dading Mansion, and severely damaged the Khitan, Chai Rong felt that it was still not enough, he wanted to completely erase the Khitan from the map, and then incorporate the land of Liaodong into the territory of the Great Zhou.

If all goes well, he is also preparing to capture Goryeo.

Chai Rong thought about this in his heart, the reason is very simple, the Great Zhou has restored most of the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and now the rest is Liaodong occupied by the Khitan.

As long as Liaodong and the grassland are in hand, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty will surpass that of the Tang Dynasty.

Chai Rong's attitude was extremely resolute and not negotiable at all.

Fortunately, at present, the DPRK and China are also dominated by the main battle faction, and no one will jump out and touch the mold.

"Looks like we're going to fight again!"

Ye Hua said helplessly: "Eighty percent of me still has to go out with the army, and the three of you must be obedient at home!" ”

Ye Xi rolled his eyes, the little guy's movements were very similar to his father's.

"It's okay, anyway, it's the same with you at home without you, we're used to it!"

"Say what?" Ye Hua sank his face, "Your father and I are the head of the family, how can it be the same?" ”

Ye Lan hurriedly said: "Dad, the eldest brother can't speak, how can it be the same?" When you're at home, you have to cook more every day......"

"Bunny! Treat your dad like a rice bucket, huh? ”

Ye Hua stretched out his hand and grabbed it, Ye Lan was clever, and he slid down from the chair as soon as he turned his head, avoiding her father's clutches. Ye Xi also jumped down from the dinner table and shouted: "Dad is leaving, I am the biggest in the family, you all have to listen to me!" ”

After speaking, the little guy rushed out of the house, and the six or seven-year-old child was the most naughty time, so energetic that he had nowhere to vent, and soon the house was full of laughter and excitement.

Ye Hua enjoyed the warmth of home very much, he stared at the child intently, looking greedily, he couldn't see enough...... It's really amazing, when I left the capital, it was still a little bit, and when I came back, it was a lot taller, just like a leek, and it grew too fast.

When I come back next time, I might all become little adults.

Ye Hua was thinking about it, when someone suddenly ran in and whispered in his ear, "Master Hou, Your Majesty went to the school to test ride the imperial horse, and unfortunately was injured!" ”
