Chapter 1197: Chang'an News

Today's dynasty is extraordinarily long, and it didn't end until noon, the crown prince Zhang Ting was sent back to the inner palace by the guards, ready to read in the afternoon, and Zhang Xuan returned to the Heavenly Pavilion, that is, his imperial study, just arrived at the imperial study, Yu Shinan, the imperial historian, and Shi Fang Xuanling, the head of the military aircraft, had already waited for him in the heavenly pavilion.

Although Fang Xuanling's qualifications are slightly shallow, he has a military background, and he actually represents the military in the cabinet, so his momentum for the new prime minister is quite strong, which completely makes up for the lack of qualifications.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

As the guards shouted, Yu Shinan and Fang Xuanling stood up at the same time, Fang Xuanling smiled: "I can wait a little longer, Doctor Yu has seen the Son of Heaven beforehand!" ā€

"But the head of the house Shi came first."

"There shouldn't be anything about this, first-come-first-come, first-come! It's okay for me to wait. ā€

Yu Shinan smiled, "Then I'm welcome." ā€

At this time, Zhang Xuan walked up the spiral staircase, and the two stepped forward and bowed, "See Your Majesty!" ā€

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "I thought I was going fast, but I didn't expect the two of you to be faster, please go up to the third floor and talk about it." ā€

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Weichen wait a little longer, let Doctor Yu see Your Majesty first." ā€

Zhang Xuan nodded, walked quickly to the third floor, and after a while, he entered the council hall, Yu Shinan also followed, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Doctor Yu, please sit down and talk." ā€

The term of office of the first Xiangguo will end at the end of September, and there are still two months to go, Yu Shinan is still continuing to serve as the imperial historian, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and advising the Son of Heaven, Zhang Xuan asked with a smile: "How does the dynasty feel today?" ā€

Yu Shinan praised sincerely: "This kind of situation of 100 officials discussing politics has not been seen for many years, up to the first rank of the Taiwei, down to the seventh rank of the staff of the Wailang, everyone has the right to express their opinions, it can be seen that everyone is very serious, especially when discussing the salt law, the debate is fierce, the insights are profound, breathtaking, this kind of deliberation is very conducive to the consensus of the hundred officials, I believe that after the introduction of this salt law, it will take care of the interests of all aspects, frankly speaking, Weichen feels that this is better than the Ziwei Pavilion Xiangguo deliberations, of course, Ziwei Pavilion is a matter of national affairs, and it cannot be weakened too much. ā€

Zhang Xuan nodded, the Great Dynasty Deliberations have gradually become a consensus, and Yu Shinan also praised him unabashedly, but Yu Shinan also reminded himself at the end that the Great Dynasty Deliberations cannot be used to replace the Xiangguo Deliberations, Zhang Xuan of course understands the relationship between the two, in fact, the reason why the Great Dynasty Deliberations are popular with the hundred officials is that Zhang Xuan decomposed part of the power of the Prime Minister to the hundred officials, so that the hundred officials have tasted the taste of being the Xiangguo, of course, it is very popular.

But this is by no means a whim of Zhang Xuan, this is his deliberate decision, he first weakened the monarch's political power, except for major or urgent government affairs, generally Zhang Xuan basically does not ask, but this undoubtedly makes the power of the prime minister be sharply improved, which will form a small decision-making group, too centralized power is not necessarily a good thing, so use the great dynasty and the middle dynasty to divide the power of the country, which is also the imperial means since ancient times.

The key is to institutionalize and use the system to make the distribution of power clear, which things belong to the affairs of the country, which things need to be discussed by the great dynasty, which things need to be discussed by the Chinese and North Koreas, and which things need to be decided by the emperor, and then which institution will decide the classification, and the details will be decided, and the system will be formed.

This is the next thing Zhang Xuan will consider, and he plans to spend three to five years gradually improving the power distribution system, and then fix the situation with an iron monument to warn future generations that they must abide by it.

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with Doctor Yu?" ā€

Yu Shinan took out a scroll and presented it to Zhang Xuan: "This is the supervision report of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, although the overall situation is okay, but the local problems are still very prominent, almost every county or even every county has problems. ā€

Both the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Military Aircraft Station report directly to the Son of Heaven, independent of the imperial court, Ziwei Pavilion can't see the report of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Zhang Xuan unfolded the report and looked at it roughly and asked, "What's the problem?" ā€

"Back to Your Majesty, the problem lies in the Yicang that we were worried about before, the accounts are chaotic, it is difficult to check, the peasants have far more bills in their hands than the warehouse receipts, once there is a famine, the peasants cannot redeem the grain, there will be trouble."

The so-called righteous warehouse, which is equivalent to the provident fund of later generations, after the peasants pay the tax in the harvest year, they take out part of the grain and deposit it in the special community warehouse, which is managed by the government in a unified manner, and when it encounters a famine year, it is taken out to survive the famine, which is implemented from the fifth year of the emperor, and the effect is quite good, and it is gradually destroyed in the later stage of the great cause, resulting in most of the righteous warehouses being robbed by bandits, or stolen and sold by the government.

Since the beginning of the previous year, the imperial court decided to restore Yicang, but this year Xuzhou and Qingzhou encountered a spring drought, and many farmers had problems when they asked to extract grain.

"What is the reason for the lack of food in Yicang?" Jang Hyun asked again, preferring to listen to the report face-to-face rather than the lengthy report in front of him.

"The general reason is that the accounts are chaotic and it is difficult to check, but specific to the county, there are all kinds of reasons, some counties are because of too much loss, resulting in insufficient inventory of grain, and some counties are chaotic in management, and they can't find the reason, but there is a reason why Weichen feels that it must not be ignored, many farmers take the documents of the Sui Dynasty to exchange food, which is also an important reason for the failure to check."

Zhang Xuan was stunned, and took the documents of the previous dynasty to ask for food, how ridiculous this sounded, Yu Shinan smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of which, they also have a certain truth, our Yicang was set up in the Northern Sui, and the farmers think that the Northern Sui is the continuation of the Sui, so we should honor the Yicang grain of the previous dynasty, and this part of the grain alone in Qingzhou and Xuzhou has as much as 90,000 stones." ā€

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "This is not a matter of how much food is available, but a matter of principle, once we recognize the account of the previous dynasty, then all kinds of unkind and immoral things of the previous dynasty will be planted on our heads, which is not conducive to our separation from the previous dynasty, my attitude is very clear, if the righteous warehouse is not done well, then it will be suspended, and it will be thoroughly cleaned up, and all those involved in the corruption of ink will be held accountable, and the documents issued by us will be recognized, but the grain of the previous dynasty has nothing to do with us, this must also be clear, this matter will be jointly handled by Yushitai and Ziwei Pavilion!" ā€

Zhang Xuan picked up the pen and commented his opinions on the scroll, and then forwarded it to Ziwei Pavilion, and said to Yu Shinan: "I will transfer this scroll to Ziwei Pavilion, please ask Dr. Yu to copy another copy to me, I will read it again when I have time." ā€

Yu Shinan stood up and saluted, "Weichen obeys!" ā€

Yu Shinan saluted and said goodbye, Zhang Xuan felt a burst of anger in his heart, although he hoped that his officials were honest and honest, but in fact it was difficult to do, but from a historical point of view, the dynasty that had just been founded was relatively honest, but the more corrupt it became, and finally the corruption perished, and now the Yicang incident happened at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou, how can Zhang Xuan not be annoyed, he must thoroughly investigate this matter, catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed, and must be given an iron fist to erect a model for officialdom.

At this time, the guards reported at the door, "Your Majesty, the head of the house Shi asks to see you!" ā€

Zhang Xuan turned his train of thought back, nodded and said, "Please let him in!" ā€

After a while, Fang Xuanling walked into the council hall and bowed, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ā€

"Changshi, please take a seat!"

Fang Xuanling's military aircraft station chief history is one of the highest positions of the military aircraft station, and there is also a highest position is the military aircraft platform sacrificial wine, which is currently held by Du Ruhui, Changshi is in charge of daily affairs, and the sacrificial wine mainly exercises the right of supervision, and there are more than 200 officials in the military aircraft station, and they maintain the operation of the 700,000 troops of the Great Zhou Empire and more than 100,000 local county soldiers together with the military department.

Another responsibility of the military aircraft station is to preside over intelligence, at the beginning of the Northern Sui set up a total of five intelligence agencies, Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu, Taiyuan and Chengdu, the most important of which is Luoyang and Chang'an, but now the four intelligence agencies have been abolished, only Chang'an is left with an intelligence agency, and the military aircraft station mobilized all the elite soldiers to gather in Chang'an.

Fang Xuanling sat down and said: "I just got the latest information from Chang'an, Li Yuan is comprehensively purging the Guanlong nobles, it is very tragic, Dou Wei and Dugu have committed suicide one after another, all the families who participated in the rebellion have been deprived of their titles, Hou Mo Chen Duo's title and the position of Shangshu have all failed, and they can't afford to be sick, even Dou Jin and Dou Lukuan have resigned from the position of Xiangguo." ā€

"Li Yuan won't even let go of the Dou family?" Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned.

Fang Xuanling nodded, "The Dou family, the Dou Lu family and the eldest grandson family only retained their titles and family property, but the land and food were still deprived, which was a little bit better than other families, this time Li Yuan was quite vicious and ruthless, completely eradicating the foundation of the Guanlong aristocracy." ā€

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Yang Jian seized the rivers and mountains of the Northern Zhou Dynasty under the Guanlong nobles, and he himself was the same, with the support of the Guanlong nobles, he seized the Sheji of Sui Yang, so he will definitely not allow this scene to happen again, besides, against the Guanlong nobles, he can also get a lot of money, grain, land and soldiers, which can greatly boost the strength of the Tang Dynasty, in the final analysis, Li Yuan was forced by us and had to make a desperate bet." ā€
