Chapter 63 sets the tone

"Yingzhong, why did Zhao Yu do it today?"

Liao Yingzhong smiled: "My lord, Yingzhong thought that the emperor was using the power of the queen mother to establish an imperial image for himself, implicitly implying that the lord is the king, and the minister is the minister; Second, he is also testing whether the adult wants to be Meng Shuai or Shi Miyuan. ”

Jia Rudao said: "Reasonable, then according to Yingzhong's meaning, what should we do next?" ”

"My lord, we can't figure out the emperor's intentions at the moment, and the emperor's reputation has increased greatly since the celestial phenomenon, we can only see the move for the time being, and then counterattack when we have the opportunity, so as the lord said before, show a little weakness in etiquette, and secondly, Meng Shuai will do it, and Shi Miyuan will also do it."

Jia seemed to be puzzled: "Why is this?" ”

"Adults are in it, and it only takes a little thought to know." Liao Yingzhong did not say it directly, and continued, "My lord, I just thought of a plan to spread the remarks inside and outside the imperial court, saying that the emperor is about to promote the public land law in various places. ”

"Yingzhong, this matter is not possible, only me, Zhao Yu, and the Queen Mother know about this matter, in this way, wouldn't it be easy for Zhao Yu to guess that it was me who said it?"

Liao Yingzhong said unhurriedly: "My lord, it shouldn't be." The emperor has just expressed his attitude towards the Gongtian Law, and the courtiers will naturally guess that the emperor has this idea, Yingzhong thinks that the emperor will not think of the adults who support the Gongtian Law, but will guess those fierce opponents, and then the adults will think of adding fuel to the fire, intensifying the contradictions between the two sides, and achieving the goal of dividing the queen mother's party. ”

Jia Rudao thought for a while and said, "Yingzhong, this plan is feasible, let's arrange someone to do it." ”

"Yes, sir. The current situation is in a tentative stage for both sides, and Yingzhong suggested that adults must not be like before, and need to be a little sharper. ”

Two days later, the Great Dynasty will meet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will continue to discuss the economic issues of our dynasty today." I first said, "There is news from Mongolia that Kublai Khan has quelled the civil strife and is currently preparing to move the capital to Yanjing, and at the same time, he is also preparing to raise troops and hoard grain and grass, and once it recovers its vitality, it will invade our dynasty in the south at any time, I estimate that it will only be two or three years at most, so there will not be much time left for my dynasty." ”

When these courtiers in the palace heard this, they began to whisper in private, "Mongolia, southern invasion? ”

Weng Yinglong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, our dynasty must seize these two or three years to develop its economy in order to deal with the invasion of Mongolia. ”

It's hard to see if this Jia Rudao party actually spoke for me.

Ma Tingluan said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not familiar with military affairs, he also knows the saying that a rich country and a strong army are said, as long as my country is rich, I can strengthen the army, and naturally I am not afraid of the invasion of the Mongols." ”

Ye Mengding also played: "Master Ma is reasonable, although the minister does not know when the Mongols invaded the south, but as long as my soldiers are well fed and the army and the people work together, we can be invincible." ”

"Well, what the three of them said is very reasonable. Before I do that, I would like to announce two things. First, I intend to set up a special department in charge of the economy (except agriculture) of our DPRK in addition to the six ministries, called the Ministry of Commerce, Jiang Wanli. ”

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to be the first secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and to receive the third rank."

Jiang Wanli hesitated slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

I knew that Jiang Wanli didn't understand the economy, and when I saw his hesitation, I didn't break it and continued: "Liao Yingzhong." ”

Liao Yingzhong knelt down and bowed: "Minister Liao Yingzhong sees my emperor, long live." ”

"Liao Aiqing is flat."

Liao Yingzhong is in her thirties, with a moderate build, and looks gentle and elegant.

I looked at Liao Yingzhong and said, "Liao Aiqing, I have appointed you as a waiter in the Ministry of Commerce, and I will temporarily receive the fifth rank." ”

"Thank Your Majesty for your grace, and the ministers should do their best to serve our court."

"The second thing is that I promoted the former Guantian Office to the Guantian Division, which is directly under the Ministry of Commerce, and is no longer under the jurisdiction of the local government. Liao Yingzhong concurrently served as the first official field supervisor of the Guantian Division. ”

Liao Yingzhong came out again and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Well, okay, let's talk about this open source and reduce expenditure." I looked at the crowd, "I will talk about this throttle first, I saw a note from the first emperor in the study of the first emperor, which said that the ministers must control the king first, and if they are for the king, then the ministers and ministers, that is to say, the upper can be imitated." I have read the various expenses of the court and the central government last year, and the first is the expenditure of the inner courtyard of the palace, which accounts for 50% of the entire cost, so I decided to start with myself, and this year's budget of the inner courtyard of the palace will be reduced by 50% on the basis of last year, and it will be reduced year by year. Ministries, courts, and provinces re-examine this year's budget, starting with the DPRK and the central government, and then moving on to the state capitals. In addition, the Criminal Department will strictly investigate all kinds of corruption cases, and from now on, all officials and participants will be punished by one degree, and they will not be tolerated. ”

"The ministers obey."

"Now I'm going to focus on this open source thing. We are based on agriculture, and we will increase our investment in agriculture, and the household department will obey the order. ”

"The minister is here." Ma Guangzu, the head of the household, responded.

"I ordered the Ministry of Households, together with the Department of Officials and Fields, to start re-measuring the land, strictly prohibiting false and false reports and omissions, and first concentrating manpower and material resources, starting from Guangdong and Fujian, all the measurements must be completed within three months, and I will implement a new policy in agriculture according to the condition of the land, and encourage farmers to cultivate. At the same time, I am more in favor of the coexistence of a variety of economic methods, the development of commerce and trade in various places according to local conditions, you have all heard Lu Xiufu talk about the practice of Yangzhou Li, Yangzhou's salt industry recovery has led to the recovery of the entire Yangzhou economy, this is a good example. The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is to change the current single agricultural model, and I plan to use Lin'an as a pilot and promote it in various places after half a year. As with agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce must register all the businesses in Lin'an City within three months at the same time as the establishment, issue a certificate of commencement of business, exempt from any taxes during these three months, and set a tax rate after three months according to the harvest of each bank, and then act according to the regulations, and take measures to prohibit the operation of merchants without certificates. The specific measures will be formulated together with the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Household to which Jiang Aiqing and Liao Aiqing belong. ”

"The ministers obey."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the tone of my future economic development is to operate along an economic model based on agriculture and parallel commerce and trade. Under this principle, any good ideas and suggestions can be submitted directly to me. From now on, this new economic model will become the main mode of our dynasty's economy, and this is also the main business of the imperial court in the future. ”

China has always been based on agriculture, although in the Ming Dynasty there was a germ of capitalism, but with the destruction of the Ming Dynasty also disappeared, the later braid dynasty is even more ignorant, just like returning to the slave society, until the guns of foreigners wake up.

I know that there are almost no people who can understand the economy in this era, and it is also a helpless move for me to appoint Jiang Wanli as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, so I can only slowly cultivate new people.

Fortunately, there will be another imperial examination next month, and there has never been a shortage of young people who have the courage to innovate in history. I have already thought of the examination questions for the imperial examination, which is called the economy of the country, and there is no need to follow a fixed format, and all students can play on their own.

Ma Tingluan said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”

"Please."

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Commerce is a new department, and the original departments should support it, and the minister proposes to select people who know how to recommend them to Lord Jiang from all departments, so that the Ministry of Commerce can be run as soon as possible."

"Yes, on the go-to-be."

Ma Tingluan continued: "Your Majesty has upgraded the Guantian Office to the Guantian Division, and re-measured the land, do you want to promote the Gongtian Law in various places? ”

Jia Rudao glanced at Liao Yingzhong, and said in his heart, "This is really fast." ”
