Chapter 694: Good Means
Seeing the surging emotions of the crowd, and even the implication of taking Xu Chongguang off the horse, Lu Chengqi was a little relieved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoMaybe this is a common problem after becoming an emperor.,Always suspicious.,You have to hold power tightly in your hands to rest assured.ć Now it seems that even the civilian clique is not of one mind. With this temptation, Lu Chengqi was relieved.
What is Imperial Mind? This is the emperor's mental technique, inadvertently sowing discord, playing one faction and pulling another, and then neutralizing one faction, so that a three-legged stand will be formed, and there will be no dominance, and another Yang Taishi will be created. However, even if Yang Taishi was in the court, he didn't do whatever he wanted, the deputy minister had Wen Yanbo, and there was also Ji Xiang, that is, six, and Yang Taishi only controlled four. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights, and the same is true of the rivers and lakes, and the same is true of officialdom.
Lu Chengqi felt that he had achieved his goal, and then said slowly: "Everyone seems to be dissatisfied with Xu Shoufu's plan, but why? ā
Isn't this a lice on the monk's head, obviously! The little emperor is clearly pretending to be stupid, these courtiers don't dare to pretend to be stupid, if they retreat now, it will be difficult to win this "welfare" in the future, why can even beggars reclaim five acres of land for their own use, but they can't be officials? Isn't this engaging in class treatment!
Of course, these ministers do not know what "class treatment" is, but this does not prevent them from rising up and "fighting back".
Taichangqing Wei Yunfeng made the most trouble, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xu Shoufu is too harsh on the officials of the imperial court. Not to mention the geometry of the imperial court's officials, the market price of things is rising, and the price is not rising, but it is no longer news that an official cannot support a large family. Now that the imperial court has reclaimed the south of the Yangtze River, it has excluded the court officials and relatives, isn't it benevolent? Inhuman? Indecent? ā
Wei Yunfeng didn't give Xu Chongguang any face, because he was not Xu Chongguang's student, nor was he Xu Chongguang's party, and he had nothing to do with Xu Chongguang, so he naturally made the most trouble and attacked the most unscrupulously. In fact, Wei Yunfeng is Wen Yanbo's person, and he has always been, which Lu Chengqi has known for a long time. Wen Yanbo has never concealed this, and of course he will not be stupid enough to make it public.
In addition, Wei Yunfeng is too often a person, too often is the official who is in charge of the heaven and earth, gods, human and ghost gifts, auspicious and murderous military gifts, and jade silk, bells and drums and other powerful cultural relics, ranking first in Jiuqing in the Han Dynasty, with a very lofty status, and is in charge of culture and education, Lingxian administration, and also governs doctors and Taixue. But in Dashun, the power has been reduced a little, and it has become a noble yamen, but it should not be underestimated. People who can do Tai Changqing are skilled in etiquette and have excellent "business ability", and they are criticized one by one, quoting scriptures and classics, and talking endlessly. Now it seems that Wei Yunfeng was still afraid of annoying the little emperor, so he restrained himself a little and did not say anything "excessive". During the Yuan Shou period, the officials attacked each other, spread rumors and expose the shortcomings, and other means were all used to make people embarrassed. Now it's different from the past, and Wei Yunfeng also knows to be cautious. It's okay to attack people, and if he attacks people, then he himself will be unlucky.
As soon as Wei Yunfeng's words fell, the officials in his faction also stood up and shouted for him. Even some wall grasses jumped out and accused Xu Chongguang of "lack of consideration".
Is Xu Chongguang really inconsiderate? Or is Lu Chengqi really inconsiderate?
Not. You must know that Dashun exempts incumbent officials, whether they are Jilu officials or incumbent officials, from taxes. For more than 100 years, Dashun has become increasingly redundant, and it is no wonder that the treasury is gradually empty. It is because these officials are too "smart" and too "Chinese-style smart", and they vigorously exploit the loopholes of the imperial court, and pull the clansmen's fields and the fields in the village into their own names.
There are so many people like this, all of them are thinking of ways to exploit the loopholes of the imperial court. The system of partiality is the "welfare" of being an official, who dares to risk the world's condemnation to expose him? As a result, this cancer has always existed, getting bigger and bigger, knocking on the bone and sucking the vitality of Dashun.
Lu Chengqi also wants to reverse this trend at once, because not only agricultural taxes, but also commercial taxes. If it was just an agricultural tax, Lu Chengqi would have turned a blind eye. But once the business tax is evaded, how much money will the court lose every month? With this money, Lu Chengqi can train stronger forbidden troops, make stronger weapons, and promulgate more policies that benefit the people.
Today, through Xu Chongguang's temptation, the crowd was really turbulent, and he almost didn't give Xu Chongguang a charge of "great disrespect", so it was best to knock him down and replace him with someone as the first assistant. Why did Taishi Yang raise his arms and shout, and the Manchu Dynasty responded? It is because he "conforms" to the interests of the majority of officials that he is embraced. After Lu Chengqi knocked off Taishi Yang's wings, he could only beg for bones. People are in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, they are in the court, how is it different from the rivers and lakes?
Originally, Lu Chengqi still had a certain hope for these officials who were full of benevolence and morality, but now it seems that as soon as their interests are touched, they jump up, and the villain's face is revealed.
"Hmph, let's make you proud for a while, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see!"
After Lu Chengqi made up his mind in his heart, he said slowly: "Wei Qing has some truth, Xu Qing really has little consideration. In this way, let the household department consider it and add some money."
Salary? Who is rare! Wei Yunfeng's eyes flashed with disdain, this is because if the officials rely on Yulu to eat, they will really starve to death, and they can still maintain such a decent life?
It must be known that in addition to the children of the poor family, who is an official in the court, which family does not have a hundred acres of fertile land and a few shops? If not, I can't afford to read a book! Of course, this shop has only been opened in the past two years, and in the past they relied on tenant farmers for food. Now the income from farming is not as good as trading, and there is no need to pay taxes, so these officials naturally flock to it.
At this time, Xu Chongguang looked at the little emperor's smiling face, and realized in his heart: "I see, good means, good calculations!" ā
Xu Chongguang woke up early, while Wei Yunfeng was a fan of the authorities, and he couldn't see through what Lu Chengqi was calculating, so he said self-righteously: "Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty treats you equally, it is okay to give the officials of the DPRK and China the same treatment for cultivating the fields in the south of the Yangtze River. ā
It is high-sounding, but in fact, the purpose is obvious. Lu Chengqi sneered in his heart, and did not expose him, because now is not the time to see the dagger.
After pondering for a while, Lu Chengqi said: "Well, the treasury is indeed in some difficulty, so let's play it!" ā
Wei Yunfeng was overjoyed: "Your Majesty Shengming! ā
Xu Chongguang looked at Wei Yunfeng's style with pity, and said in his heart: "It's really stupid, I can't see through this!" ā
Lu Chengqi not only tested the bottom line of the DPRK and Chinese officials, but also took the opportunity to suppress Xu Chongguang, and he was extremely satisfied. After looking around the court, he said loudly: "Do you still have a plan to play?" If not, then retreat! "To be continued.
