Chen Xu reported according to the truth, and the orthodox emperor nodded while listening.
The emperor delegated power to Chen Xu, which can only be said to make the best use of things and make the best use of talents. The orthodox emperor ruled by the arch, except for the ministers who made a big fuss in the Jinluan Palace and panicked because they were caught off guard, everything in the world was clear.
Chen Xu's actions since taking office in the military department are like placing a magnet on the scattered iron filings on the table, without drastic reforms, he is like spring rain to moisten all things, in a silent and silent way to set things right, the chaos into a pot of porridge at all levels of the court officials from the panic to stabilize down, the huge machine of the imperial court gradually run as before.
Recommending talents, dispatching troops, rushing to make weapons, and raising grain and grass, everything he did was for one ultimate goal -- to prepare for war and meet the enemy.
If he knew about the actions of the imperial court, would he not be able to shrink out or drive straight in? Looking at the development of events from the perspective of the art of war, we will never give up this God-given opportunity to stay in the Central Plains.
Of course, this is just an assumption, and although he is brave and good at fighting, but the way of thinking of the "mountain cannon" cannot be considered by common sense, and it is best that he can't shrink back, but what if he chooses to go south to herd horses? Are the reserve troops collected by the imperial court the opponents of the Warat Iron Cavalry?
The orthodox emperor was not sure at all, but now that he heard about Chen Xu's orderly arrangement, he gradually gained confidence in his heart.
On the second day of his return to the dynasty, he tried his best to hand over the military and political power of the country to a milky young man, and now that he thinks about it, his decision is correct.
Although Chen Xu has not been in the military department for a long time, the so-called beginning of everything is the most difficult. The fact that he was able to put the initial preparations in order is a true manifestation of a person's ability. There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the imperial court, and I am afraid that no one will do better than him.
The orthodox emperor looked up at Chen Xu, who was reporting to work, if such a talent could not be used by the imperial court. This is definitely a great loss for the country; He looked at Princess Sirou who was standing beside Chen Xu again, this brother-in-law he was going to decide.
"The matter of transporting grain, Zhun Qing played. Qing does not hesitate to lose his family wealth and devotes himself to the country, and I will not treat the Qing family badly. After a pause, the orthodox emperor said, "Wait for the world to be decided." I should keep my promise, and on the day of the royal sister's marriage, a rich dowry will be indispensable. ”
The imperial treasury was empty, and the orthodox emperor was unable to make up for Chen Xu's "losses" immediately. His reward is only for the future. This kind of thing is not uncommon, most of the enterprises with commissions in modern society adopt the same strategy, commissions, bonuses will be issued at the end of the year, as long as they can persist until the end of the year, the promise will be fulfilled.
This is still true for modern private enterprises. Not to mention the king of a country? As long as Chen Xu doesn't make too much trouble, the emperor will always fulfill his promise. Of course, Chen Xu's first reaction was not joy but worry, if Si Rou's action of pulling his hand just now fell into Meng Yao's eyes. The consequences can be imagined.
How could Princess Sirou think that Meng Yao would disguise herself as a man and visit the palace? The royal brother mentioned her marriage in person, and the little princess was happy and her face was hot. She couldn't help but bow her head and steal the fun.
Chen Xu glanced at Sirou in horror, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said the idea of issuing treasury bonds.
"National debt?"
The Orthodox Emperor thought about a term he had never heard before. He doesn't know if it's good or bad for the country. The court needs to borrow money from the people, how can such a court win the trust of its subjects? It is about the face of the imperial court, and he knows that once it is put into practice, the impeachment of the officials will be overwhelming.
Speech officials are doing the work of "finding faults", and they are very happy to do things that harm others and themselves.
You said that they were led by the court, eating the court and wearing the court, not only did they not know how to sing praises, but they liked to nagging and asking this and that, and you couldn't ignore him. How can such a court be harmonious? They should really be re-educated by the poor and middle peasants.
"Your Majesty, the minister also knows the state of affairs strictly, but this is also a way out of the way, fighting a war is a job of burning money, if there is no solid logistics support, victory or defeat is self-evident."
There is a sentence that Chen Xu did not say, the people of Dayan have no human rights and no freedom, the court wants them to live, and the court wants them to die. The court could not pay military salaries, and the most direct way was to use the most barbaric and violent means to increase exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Of course, this method is not advisable, and when the land of Wanghua encounters a tossed magistrate, the tax is estimated to have been received in 2012 A.D. in the Western calendar, and there is no oil and water to scrape; As for those barbarian lands, if you take a share of their land, they will dare to play with you, not to mention the money, and of course they have no money.
In addition, there are only "big eaters", rich families, even if they are suspected of being rich and unkind, Chen Xu does not agree with such a method, of course their wealth will not be blown by the wind, it is all the accumulation of several generations of a family, or even more than ten generations, that is a legitimate income, even the imperial court has no right to use violent means to disperse their family wealth.
For Chen Xu, not to shock the people, not to disturb the people, and to solve the problem of military salaries in the name of the imperial court, this is called level. Otherwise, even if you win by luck, the territory of Dayan is already full of crises, how can the country be stable for a long time?
"Won't the imperial court mint copper coins solve the problem?"
The orthodox emperor thought about it and said, although Chen Xu was thoughtful, he was young after all, and the imperial court dominated the issuance of currency, so why bother to seek the near and far?
Princess Sirou didn't understand the trick, she just listened silently. In the major affairs of the court, it is not her turn to point fingers, as the eldest princess of the royal family, she should have this awareness.
Chen Xu looked at the emperor as if he didn't know him, he originally thought that the emperor was deaf except for Tumubao, he should also be regarded as the king of the Holy Ming, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid he is a little overestimated.
The IQ of the orthodox emperor is an order of magnitude higher than that of Feng Che.
Of course, Chen Xu would not declare these words and slander the Son of Heaven, his crime is not small. He just repeated what he had said to Meng Yao and Feng Che. Compared with the first time, Chen Xu laid out the facts, reasoned, made one hypothesis after another, and gave the consequences that these assumptions could induce.
Destroying the country and breaking the family is not a problem.
The orthodox emperor was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he did not doubt that Chen Xu's words were not blindly trusted, because he could not find an argument that could be refuted. The wealth of the imperial court was fixed, and the only result of the indiscriminate issuance of currency was inflation, and what used to be a penny may need five or even ten wen in the future.
Chen Xu's words were like a slap in the face, and in a cold sweat, the orthodox emperor couldn't help but blush, thinking about the chapter of the household, he couldn't wait to drag those old things out of the noon gate to ask for beheading, there was no more rancid idea than this.
"Aiqing is worthy of being a pillar of the country."
Chen Xu had read "The Death of Yang Xiu", and he knew that if he was able to do so in front of the leader, the result could only be that the rafters rot first. Chen Xu decided to give the emperor a step that could go downhill.
"Weichen is ashamed and doesn't dare to be, His Majesty has good intentions, and the minister can only bow and die."
The Orthodox Emperor didn't speak, his face was a little uglier than before. Chen Xu continued unconsciously, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can you not know the consequences of indiscriminate currency issuance? The minister is young and virtuous, and if he does not have His Majesty, he will never be in such a high position; If you don't have a sharp spirit, I'm afraid you will also have the trust of your majesty. His Majesty pretended to say this, but he didn't want to mention one or two of the micro-ministers without a trace. The emperor's grace is vast, how dare the ministers take credit? ”
A smile appeared on the corner of the orthodox emperor's mouth, and he was comfortable to listen to. Suddenly, he heard Chen Xu's belly "cooing" and learned that Chen Xu had not yet lunched, so he instructed Chang's father-in-law to bring tableware for Chen Xu to accompany him to eat.
Chen Xu patted his ass in exchange for a lunch, and while he was "flattered", he thought of Meng Yao again, and his daughter-in-law was still hungry...... (To be continued......)
