Chapter 60 asks the people
Compared with the huge corruption, these petty officials have more numbers and more contacts, and they seem to collect two or three dollars each time, but over the years, the impact is far-reaching, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are moths of the country. Moreover, these people came into contact with merchants, withheld money and grain from merchants, and fattened themselves, but affected the reputation of Yan State.
"Rest assured, since the problem has been raised, the imperial court is bound to solve it." After being silent for a while, Lin Feng shouted to Makino: "Makino, immediately go to the Criminal Law Department, take two officials in charge of criminal law, go to the Finance Department, find the official in charge of taxation, explain it clearly, and be fast." ”
The questions raised by these three people were very small, but they involved all aspects, which had exceeded Lin Feng's own expectations, rather than asking the people themselves, it was better to let the officials in the court personally experience the difficulties of businessmen.
The businessmen present guessed that Lin Feng's identity was not low, but they did not expect that he would recruit officials on the spot, in the consciousness of everyone, this matter was groundbreaking for the first time in the history of Yan Kingdom, and their hearts were hot, everyone put forward their opinions one after another, and with little effort, Lin Feng summed up four drawbacks, heavy taxes, corruption of small officials, bullies bullying the market, collusion between officials and businessmen, among the four, taxes have been mentioned many times, obviously this matter involves various industries. Secondly, bullies are very common in bullying the market, and there are markets everywhere. Even the merchants of the Yan Kingdom are miserable, and the situation of the merchants of the neighboring princely countries can be imagined.
Soon, Yuan Ye came with four officials, and when the four of them saw Lin Feng, they looked startled, and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads, but Yuan Ye explained on the way here, and the four of them didn't dare to make a mistake, and shouted in unison: "Lord Lin, please give me direct orders if you have something." ”
Lin Feng waved his hand and said sharply: "I'm fine, the businessmen and hawkers sitting here have something, call a few people today, presumably Yuan Ye has already told you the meaning on the way, the four adults must know what to do." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The emperor personally asked the government and the people, how could the four bureaucrats dare not do their best, besides, Lin Feng and Lin Xiao cleaned up the redundant officials of Yan State, beheaded Han Fang and others, and most of the remaining officials were officials of Yu Zheming's generation, and they were quite reliable.
Lin Feng immediately looked at the merchant next to him and said: "Who has something in the criminal law, such as the deduction of small officials, bullies and bullies, etc., find the two adults in charge of the criminal law, feel that some taxes are excessive, or too heavy, find the adults in charge of finance, but if it can be solved immediately, within two days, it is guaranteed to be resolved." ”
After speaking, Lin Feng picked up the chopsticks and ate the delicacies in front of him, there are too many problems in the Yan Kingdom, not three or two days can be solved, once the recent military problems are solved, the two phases of Enke are held, and he has enough time and energy, it is very necessary for the court to hold a change, whether it is to follow the Tang Dynasty to set up the Zhongshu Province, or to follow the Ming Dynasty to set up the six-part system, it is necessary to change the current chaos in the court.
As a result, many merchants began to put forward their own suggestions, some advocated reducing taxes, some advocated the elimination of corrupt officials, and some suggested that the Luoma Market should expand its business scope, and so on.
Lin Feng was eating and listening to the side, although he felt that some of the suggestions were very harsh and would hurt the interests of many people if they were implemented, but what the other party said was all the truth.
When the food was almost finished, Lin Feng got up and walked to the four officials who were surrounded by the merchants, and said, "Today's matter, be careful, be serious, don't let go of any details, and send it to the emperor tomorrow." ”
The four of them were sincerely frightened, and nodded again and again, until after sending Lin Feng away, someone breathed a sigh of relief and quietly wiped the cold sweat from their heads.
However, even if they are not brave and loyal, they are also loyal to the Great Yan Kingdom, and the emperor personally traveled to inspect, which shows the concern for governing the country.
Walking out of Xiangjuyuan, Lin Feng turned around and looked up at the plaque of Xiangjuyuan, turned to Yang Hu and said: "Yang Hu, after I go back, I will find you three shrewd and reliable people in the iron group, stationed in Xiangjuyuan, before the end of the year, but if the merchants and people have any suggestions, record them all and present them directly to me." ”
"Don't worry, Childe!" Yang Hu took the order.
Walking on the street again, Lin Feng continued: "Yang Hu, from today onwards, you will set out to form a leading iron regiment, the number of which will be controlled at about five hundred, and you must be loyal and elite. Yuan Ye, Mu Yan, the two of you set out to set up a black-clothed society of about 5,000 people, responsible for beheading, assassination, probing news, and purging corrupt officials below the sixth grade, yes, I remember that Han Fang and others raised the dead, and they were surrounded and suppressed by the Marquis of Dingguo before, and the 40,000 people were not all killed, but some of them were locked in prisons, right? ”
"Well, there are almost more than 20,000 people, and General Lei was personally responsible for it!" Makino Road.
"These people, since they are dead soldiers, they must have some combat effectiveness, and they waste food in prison, and when they go back, they can be incorporated and all these people will be recruited, and those who can't be incorporated will be sent to Cangyan Mountain to work as coolies, after all, the military camp still needs to be expanded."
"Your Majesty, most of them will definitely serve the emperor, he is also from a poor background, loyal to Han Fang and others, and he is also trying to eat!" Mu Yan said, after all, he was also born in poverty and understood the suffering of the people better, but he couldn't guess what the emperor's purpose was in recruiting these people: "Your Majesty, after the incorporation, how to deal with it?" ”
"All handed over to Zhao Hongru to form a heavy armored infantry, he is also a lieutenant general, and he has the ability to command the army, it is a pity to command two thousand ironclad infantry!"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and immediately received the order. They were all from Yu Linwei, trained by Lin Feng himself, and personally participated in the strangulation of the Han people, knowing that the young emperor in front of him was ambitious, and at this moment, being entrusted with a heavy task was a good thing for the three of them, both public and private.
Temporarily making a big move in Hunan Juyuan, Lin Feng was by no means messing around. The Iron Regiment is undoubtedly responsible for its own safety, and the Black Clothes Society is equivalent to the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and when the foreign battle started, all of them were sent into the enemy country to behead, destroy, and spread the news. The internal power is cleaned up of the petty officials and the lawbreakers are monitored. As for Zhao Hongru's ironclad infantry, Lin Feng owed the other party tens of thousands of new troops, which would be repaid to the other party.
At present, when the Iron Group and the Black Clothes Society are formed, and there are sufficient financial resources to support them, the two must be expanded.
Settle down on political affairs, and don't spend his mind on official affairs, Lin Feng felt much more relaxed, looked at An Heng, who was chasing after him not long ago, and asked, "The three queens, are you okay?"
"No harm, three mothers, are skating in Jinyang Lake." An Heng responded, Yan is located in the north, not to the south of the river, Yan has a natural lake only Jinyang Lake, in Yan is very famous, in the summer and autumn on the lake boating play rich children are not a few, however, in winter, after the Jinyang Lake is frozen, it has become a natural skating place, which will attract many people every year.
Ice skating, Lin Feng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yanjing to have such a custom, Lin Feng nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go and see, I think it should be a fun place." ”
Seeing that Lin Feng was interested, An Heng hurriedly explained the wonders of Jinyang Lake for him. Since Lin Feng changed, An Heng's status has not changed, but he feels that he has become more and more of a sense of existence in front of Lin Feng, he can't write texts, he can't kill martial arts, he can only try his best to serve Lin Feng happily.
The group came to Jinyang Lake, and before they got close to the lake, Lin Feng noticed that this place was wonderful, there were many vendors, there were many rich young women, and the main thing was that the lake was frozen and crystal clear, and it was indeed beautiful, and many young men and women were skating on it. However, a cold wind blew and caressed the body, but it carried a chill, but the people who skated on the lake did not seem to be aware of it.
Due to the difference between men and women, the lake was divided into two areas, the queen and the others, in the place dedicated to women's skating, took a few steps forward, looking at the swaying on the lake, the cheerful figure, the lively scene, Lin Feng couldn't help but envy, he used to fight in the jungle, but he had never been treated like this, and couldn't help but say to An Heng: "The three queens are there, take me over." ”
An Heng didn't dare to be sloppy, and pointed to a place in the center of the lake that was not gorgeous, but very exquisite, and said, "Childe, look, the concubine is there." "There is a difference between men and women, it is for ordinary people, Lin Feng, as the master of Yan Kingdom, is not bound by these frameworks.
Raising his eyes, Lin Feng saw that Su Guifei was skating on the lake, with a beautiful and slender figure, her strong outfit fluttering in the wind, with a bit of heroism, and Xiao Shufei was supporting the queen, as if she was teaching the queen to skate, and when she looked up, she seemed to be looking in her direction, as if she happened to see herself, helping the queen, Xiao Shufei raised her finger, pointed in her direction, and Su Guifei supported the queen, and quickly approached the shore.
Seeing that the three queens were approaching quickly, Lin Feng glanced around the shore of the lake, there were many private rooms set up on the shore, which were extremely gorgeous, and many rich sons were drunk and singing, chanting poems and paintings, and the singers were blowing away and singing, all of them were wanton and happy, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly, Yan Country was poor, only the lower class people suffered, but the upper class nobles still enjoyed a luxurious life.
These people do not pay taxes and do not have military exploits, but they occupy a lot of wealth in Yan Country and enjoy a comfortable life, and even some wealthy families, according to the advice of the Eight Great Lords, do not care about the situation of Yan Country at all, and go against themselves, Lin Fengjue's bloody soldiers are very unfair.
While pondering, the three queens had already sailed to the shore, took off their skates on their feet, and Su Guifei ran down, threw herself into Lin Feng's arms, and shouted happily: "Xianggong, I'm done with business!" But he didn't care at all about the strange gaze coming from next to him when he was dressed in men's clothes.
Lin Feng hugged Su Guifei, the light fragrance came to his nose, and he took two deep breaths and said intoxicatedly: "What? After being separated for a while, I want to get along. ”
"Well, Sister Xue'er has been praising Xianggong all morning, she didn't expect Xianggong to be so powerful, she only heard that the concubine's heart was overjoyed, and she naturally hoped to see Xianggong earlier." Leaning on Lin Feng's arms, Concubine Su said in a loud voice. Maybe it was too moving, she didn't want to confuse Lin Feng, it made Lin Feng unbearable.
The queen and Concubine Xiao Shu walked up, Concubine Xiao glanced at Concubine Su Guifei, and guided Lin Yan into the private room prepared in advance, there was a painting on the table of the private room, which seemed to be newly made, and the person in the painting was just like someone Lin. Looking at the painting, and looking at the three beauties in front of him, Lin Feng secretly sighed that he was too lucky, and he was not shallow.
