When only the emperor and Yang Yaozong were left in the palace, the emperor said: "Yang Yaozong, come closer." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yang Yaozong took a few steps forward respectfully.

The emperor seemed to look at Yang Yaozong carefully for a moment and said, "Yang Yaozong, who are you Yang Shou?" “

Yang Yaozong said in his heart: "It's coming, it's coming." The emperor's first question is this question, but the emperor should know his own details. I still have to ask this question, and I don't know what I will do to myself after I confirm it, so I can only take one step at a time. He couldn't hear any of the emotional elements contained in the emperor's words. still maintained the posture that he was standing in just now, and did not avoid the emperor's gaze, and said: "Back to the emperor, Yang Shouzheng is the father of the grass people. ”

Seeing that Yang Yaozong was calm and calm, the emperor nodded calmly, and his eyes showed appreciation. Then his expression was serious, there was a murderous aura in his eyes, and he said in a stern tone: "Do you know that your father is a criminal minister, and he was also sent to Shu by my decree, and he cannot be reused for the rest of his life?" ”

Yang Yaozong's heart was pounding, but his face was still calm, and he said unhurriedly: "The grass people know. ”

The emperor raised his voice a little and then said, "Then do you know why your father was punished so severely by me? “

Yang Yaozong replied: "The grass people don't know, my father has never talked to the grass people. “

Seeing that Yang Yaozong's expression didn't seem to be lying, the emperor nodded, returned to his previous somewhat tired demeanor, sighed, and said, "It seems that Yang Qing is not to blame. “

"Yang Qing? It must be referring to Yang Shouzheng. The emperor also called the criminal minister Yang Shouzheng Yang Qing, it seems that there must be a hidden story in the events of the year. Yang Yaozong said in his heart.

The emperor continued: "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai. The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. Did you write this poem? “

Yang Yaozong said: "Back to the emperor, this poem was written by the grass people. “

The emperor nodded and said with appreciation: "It's rare that you have a heart to worry about the country." His temperament is a bit like your father's. Yang Qing gave birth to a good son! “

The emperor seemed to recall what happened before, his brows were furrowed, and the eyebrow-cutting sword in the middle was even more profound, and he said slowly: "When Yang Qing was still the secretary of the ministry, it was found that there were many unusual transfers of local officials in prefectures and counties. After further investigation, it was found that in these places with high grain production, there was a serious deficit in the grain depot! Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes showed anger. The breath is also a little heavier. It seemed that his mood had calmed down a little and continued: "Yang Qing did not immediately investigate those officials, but continued to investigate secretly, and found that the person behind the mobilization of these people turned out to be King Qin!" When it came to King Qin, the emperor showed hatred, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes, but at this time he was staring at Yang Yaozong. Yang Yaozong knew that the hatred and murderous intent he showed was not aimed at himself, so he also felt a little numb. "Yang Qing knew that this was a major time, so he reported it to me at this time. King Qin is scheming, and he has a snake heart. Before, because of some things, I saw him as my younger brother, and I couldn't bear to punish him. But then he did something that hurt me deeply! I... I... Speaking of this, it may involve some internal matters of the royal family, he did not explain in detail, the matter has passed for so long, but his hands are clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands are prominent, it can be seen how angry and hateful the emperor was by what King Qin did later. After being quiet for a long time, the emperor spoke again: "I want to use Yang Qing's investigation of this matter to punish King Qin and his henchmen together. But I don't know where the news leaked, when Yang Qing united with the ministers and held solid evidence to impeach King Qin, he didn't want King Qin to be on guard. Prepare everything in advance and overturn the evidence in Yang Qing's hand. In turn, King Qin forced me to punish the ministers who impeached him, and Yang Qing took all the blame for all the crimes in order to protect the ministers who participated in the impeachment of King Qin with him. At that time, King Qin prefabricated Yang Qing to die, but fortunately, your father-in-law Nangong Zhan and now Qin Zheng, the secretary of the household department, and Zuo Qiutang, the secretary of the military department, and some ministers such as Zuo Qiutang, the secretary of the military department, are protected. King Qin could only agree to let me send Yang Qing to Shu, and promised King Qin that he would not reuse Yang Qing for the rest of his life, so the matter was stopped! After speaking, the emperor sighed deeply, looked at Yang Yaozong with guilt in his eyes and said, "It's me who is sorry for Yang Qing, sorry for your father!" And Yang Qing has never held a grudge against me, I... The emperor's voice couldn't help but be a little infarcted.

When Yang Yaozong heard what the emperor said, his heart was also full of shock and sighing. I didn't expect that the father of the owner of his body was so upright and responsible, and he was so loyal to the emperor. Yang Yaozong couldn't help but admire Yang Shouzheng, and at the same time felt sorry for Yang Shouzheng's ending. His face was sad and his eyes were red.

When the emperor saw Yang Yaozong's appearance, he looked at Yang Yaozong with pity and said, "From the moment you entered Nangong Mansion, I knew it. At that time, I also investigated you, but I didn't find any outstanding talent in you, and as far as I know, you were not in good health at that time, and you were still a poor person. And Nangong Zhan made you rich, but he wanted to protect you, thinking that he was afraid that I would hurt you! This Nangong battle! The emperor couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and said: "You and that girl are your parents have been engaged to you since you were a child, if I knew that you were so talented, I would definitely not allow you to enter the Nangong Mansion." But it will also make you marry a love memory. It's just that in order to protect you, Nangong Zhan has made me lose a good courtier! “

When Yang Yaozong heard the emperor say this, he understood Nangong Zhan's good intentions in his heart. Nangong Zhan dared to protect the son of a criminal minister like this without knowing the emperor's thoughts. is not only to fulfill the promise in the marriage letter, but also for Yang Shouzheng's friend. I can't help but have more admiration for my father-in-law who I have never met.

"I've heard that you're still researching what new plants to plant? The thing called tomatoes that Jing Sheng brought back yesterday is the fruit you planted and harvested. I also tasted one and it tasted good. But even though you are a son-in-law, don't put your mind to these things. If you have the ability, you still have to help Nangong Zhan and love memories, after all, you are the uncle of Nangong Mansion. The emperor had some appreciation and some felt that Yang Yaozong's relaxed mentality was a little annoying, so he reminded.

When Yang Yaozong heard what the emperor said, he took the opportunity to carefully inform the emperor of the benefits of planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as his idea of promoting planting.

The emperor listened to Yang Yaozong say that potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used as staple foods, and they have high yields, are easy to plant, and have fewer pests and diseases. If it is popularized, the domestic grain reserves can be greatly increased, and the people's living standards will also be greatly improved. The look of exhaustion in his eyes was replaced by surprise and excitement. Sit upright. People also seem to have spirits. Xin Dao said, "It turns out that Yang Yaozong did these things for the people of Da Zhou, I really misunderstood him!" Looking at Yang Yaozong standing below, the more he looked, the more comfortable he felt, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Yang Yaozong's talent and ability were extraordinary. But thinking about Yang Yaozong's identity as a son-in-law, he couldn't let him come out to do things. He was angry with Nangong Zhan, and scolded in his heart: "Nangong Zhan, you old horseman, let me lose a good courtier." “

Yang Yaozong saw that the emperor was in a good mood at this time, his complexion seemed to be much better, his expression became kind, and his eyes were also appreciative, so he said more boldly: "The grass people have an idea in their hearts, and they can help the emperor to supervise the granary reserves, armament reserves, local taxes, and soldiers' salaries. Yang Yaozong's words are plain, but these problems are the main problems affecting the development of Dazhou. It can be said that it affects the lifeblood of Da Zhou.

Seeing that Yang Yaozong's eyes were clear, the emperor calmly and resolutely said those key issues that affected Da Zhou, and a look of excitement that could no longer be concealed appeared on his face, and the volume of Long Mu also increased a little: "Tell me your thoughts quickly!" “

Yang Yaozong said: "Today's Da Zhou mainly relies on the supervision of the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Officials for the four things I mentioned above, but if there are people involved in corruption in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be able to play a supervisory role. The idea of the grass people is that the emperor will set up the secret inspection yuan, and the people who can join the secret inspection yuan are only known to the emperor himself and his administrators, and the people of the secret inspection yuan do not have the right to punish, but are only responsible for collecting evidence in all aspects and the right to secretly investigate and inspect, and generally only wear civilian clothes and do not wear official clothes when investigating and collecting evidence. If you wear official clothes, you will be ordered by the Son of Heaven, and you must wear a mask, and you have to show your true face. The Decree of the Son of Heaven must be approved by the emperor or those in power, and at least three people must be executed at the same time when acting, so as to facilitate mutual supervision internally. And the personnel assigned to carry out the mission are not fixed. However, the number of personnel carrying out each task must be at least three, and the person in power will arrange to exchange tasks on a regular basis. This is also to facilitate internal mutual supervision. lest there be people who have been bribed inside the secret inspection court. There are not necessarily many people who can enter the Secret Inspectorate, but they must be fine, they all have a certain ability, and the monthly salary for the people of the Secret Inspectorate must be high. It's also a defense against them being easily bought. Of course, the emperor can reconfirm the matters investigated by the secret inspection institute, and he can't let them all go. There are also personnel of the Secret Investigation Institute and those in power whose rank cannot be determined too high.,Well.。。。 The third and fourth grades are the highest. Because when investigating and collecting evidence for even high-ranking officials, the emperor still has to control it personally. The Secret Inspectorate cannot be given such high powers. That would make the people of the imperial court panic. There will also be a fear of doing things. The supreme leader of the establishment of the Secret Investigation Yuan is the emperor, and in the first few years or even more than ten years, the Secret Investigation Yuan will definitely make a lot of contributions to the Great Zhou, of course, there may be many problems within the Secret Investigation Yuan slowly, but as long as the emperor can insist on not giving the Secret Investigation Yuan too high rights, then the reform or management of the Secret Investigation Yuan can always be controlled. “

The emperor got up and slowly stomped back and forth in front of the dragon collapse, thinking about what Yang Yaozong said. Suddenly stopped, staring at Yang Yaozong with burning eyes: "It's not difficult to set up a secret investigation institute, but the Gao Yuefeng you mentioned is not a small expense." Now when there is a war at the border, it is money that is fighting. How can there be any extra money to support the expenses of the Secret Inspectorate? ”

Yang Yaozong said: "Silver is naturally the most important, and the silver expenses of the Secret Inspection Yuan are best managed from the emperor's inner treasury. In this way, through the circulation of money, the emperor could supervise the activities of the secret inspection court. As for how to enrich the emperor's inner treasury, the emperor can accurately verify the land of the current gentry and register it. The decree then restores the land that has been registered as private persons, and any land that is reclaimed or used for the construction of houses is owned by the State. All are the property of the state. The people were then encouraged to reclaim the land, which could be used by first clearing the land for cultivation and then paying the state rent after harvest. In this way, the people will have their own fields, and the treasury will have income. It is also useful to promote the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes. If there are people who are willing to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, then if they are allowed to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in addition to the crops they want to grow, then the state will encourage them to try to plant them by charging less rent. Until the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes is officially completed. Now there are 600,000 troops stationed at Yanmen Pass, and I don't know how long the war will last. However, if the soldiers are reasonably arranged to adopt the rotation system to reclaim the land to grow food, this can also reduce the burden on the country in terms of military rations. Moreover, if the soldiers were to try to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes first, it would be more effective in promoting the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Of course, the state ownership of land will affect the interests of some people, but it is good for the people. Moreover, the foundation of the state is the people, and the interests of the people are the interests of the majority. If the interests of the majority of people can be satisfied, then the country can develop steadily. Of course, this is a relatively long reform process, and it will take at least five to ten years to see the impact and effects of the reform. ”

Yang Yaozong frowned, thought about it, seemed to have the courage to stare at the emperor's burning gaze at him, and said: "The grass people have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, and I ask the emperor to pardon the grass people first." ”

The emperor was already shocked by Yang Yaozong's proposal at this time, so he smiled and said: "You say yes, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Yang Yaozong pondered for a while and said: "There is a folk saying that the Qing Governor's Mansion is three years, and there are 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Yang Yaozong continued: "Most of this money comes from the concealment of the actual amount of grain and the false report of fire consumption. If there is the overt supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then cooperates with the covert supervision of the Secret Procuratorate, then the emperor can set a maximum number of fire consumption to the local government to limit the false report of fire consumption, and adopt the method of returning fire consumption to the public to manage the problem of fire consumption. In this way, the treasury can be quickly filled, and the emperor's inner treasury will also be filled. Yang Yaozong originally wanted to put forward a proposal to lift the sea ban and start maritime trade, but now he has said a lot of suggestions that shocked the emperor. Moreover, the issue of the ban on opening the sea is of a different nature from the above issue. That's why I endured it and didn't say it. Some things can't be rushed. You have to wait for the right time. Yang Yaozong said in his heart.

The emperor frowned, stared at Yang Yaozong with a serious and majestic expression, and said: "Secret Inspection Academy, the land is state-owned, new crops are promoted, and the fire is returned to the public." The tone was slow but powerful. After a while, he said: "Yang Yaozong, I will hand over to you this errand to undertake the Secret Investigation Institute and manage the Secret Investigation Academy, do you dare to accept it?" Since this is the solution you proposed, then let you manage this secret investigation, and your only boss is me! ”

Yang Yaozong pretended to be frightened and refused: "Your Majesty, how can this be, the grass people are the son-in-law of Nangong Mansion. Yang Yaozong had already expected that once he made this suggestion, there was a good chance that the emperor would entrust this errand to himself. It's just that his current identity is still an obstacle, but if the emperor wants to use himself, then let the emperor find a way to worry about this problem.

The emperor said seriously: "I only ask you if you are willing to do it, and you don't need to think about other things!" ”

Yang Yaozong pondered for a moment and knelt down respectfully and said: "Yang Yaozong, a grass citizen, is willing to share the emperor's worries, even if his liver and brain are smeared, and he will not hesitate to break his bones!" Yang Yaozong's words were convincing.
