Seeing Chu Fengle, Wang Mang smiled secretly in his heart.

This city management administrative law enforcement bureau is not a good unit, the famous chengguan in later generations is the abbreviation of this unit, such an open public opinion environment in later generations, chengguan can let the spray die, not to mention this time.

The head of this chengguan is not something that can be done casually.

Originally, before Chu Feng jumped out, Wang Mang was still thinking about who to let jump into this pit, but he never thought that Chu Feng, who was unwilling to give up his power, actually jumped into the pit by himself.

After everything was done, Deng Yi shouted loudly: "Ministers, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat from!"

Of course, the ministers have nothing to do, and even if there is something, they will not start again today, and everyone has to go back and digest the information revealed at today's court meeting.

There are also some ministers, especially the officials of Taichang Temple, who are thinking about how to operate to a new yamen to continue to live happily at the moment.

Not surprisingly, Shang Yang stayed.

Looking at Shang Yang, Wang Mang nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Shang Yang, you did a good job today, I am very satisfied, tell me, what reward you want, as long as it is about the same, I will promise you." ”

Shang Yang kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is Shang Yang's honor to do things for Your Majesty in this life, Shang Yang does not dare to ask for any reward, as long as Your Majesty is long live, long live Long live, long live Long live, long live Daqin, long live Long live." ”

Wang Mang laughed and said, "When did you kid learn to be afraid of sycophants!"

"It's not learning, it's about learning. Shang Yang smiled: "It's just that the minister's sycophant is generally not patted, and the minister's sycophant is only patted by the saint." ”

"Haha. Wang Mang laughed heartily, everyone likes to listen to good things, and Wang Mang is no exception, let alone a big talent like Shang Yang.

After Wang Mang finished laughing, Shang Yang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear. ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Mang said.

"According to what His Majesty told the minister before, that Taichang Siqing Chu Feng is going to sue the old man to return to his hometown this time, why did His Majesty appoint him to be the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau. Shang Yang looked at Chu Feng suspiciously.

Shang Yang is a smart man, although he has doubts, but he will never openly question the emperor in the court, but he has to ask about this matter, the Law Enforcement Bureau is the first yamen set up by the reform he presided over, which has an extraordinary meaning, such a yamen, let an "old bureaucrat" to lead, in Shang Yang's view, this is a manifestation of incomplete reform.

Wang Mang knew that Shang Yang would ask like this, and said: "That Law Enforcement Bureau seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it is a trap step by step, this position cannot be done by ordinary people, since Chu Feng has thrown his face to join me in the court, I naturally can't help but show something, give him the position of director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, on the one hand, let him explore the way, if he makes a mistake, he can easily change people, and on the other hand, it is also to give them some thoughts, so that they will not give Shang Yang too many obstacles to your actions." ”

Shang Yang's eyes flashed, he felt that things were by no means as simple as Wang Mang said, but Wang Mang had already explained to him, if he continued to get to the bottom of it, it would be too blind.

So, Shang Yang put down the topic very interestingly, and directly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, after today, I am afraid that the ministers of the imperial court will stay in Shangshutai, and Your Majesty can instruct you." ”

Shangshutai is the current location of the office of the Daqin Law Reform Leading Group, and is the central organ of the entire law reform work.

The leading group for the reform of the Great Qin is led by Wang Mang, the deputy leader is a prince of the clan, Zhang Jian, the secretary of the ministry, and the head of the Imperial Palace, Yu Shi Haifeng, and the heads of other ministries and the heads of the main yamen are members.

These members of the leading group, according to their job duties, have the power to inquire about matters related to the change of the law, but because these people did not take the change of the law seriously, they ignored the role of Shang Shutai.

After today's court meeting, it can be imagined that the bigwigs of these leading groups will definitely stay in Shangshutai and really care about the matter of changing the law.

"Nothing indicated. Wang Mang shook his head and said with a smile: "Everything is done according to the work responsibilities of the leading group for law change. ”

Shang Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is the True Saint Son of Heaven!"

One of the duties of the leading group for law reform is that the leading group implements democratic centralism, and important matters involving law change are organized by the leading group for law change, and a meeting is organized and convened by the leading group to study and vote on decisions, and all members of the leading group have one vote, which is called democratic voting, but all decisions must be reported to the group leader for approval, and at the same time, the group leader also has the right of veto, which is called centralization on the basis of democracy.

Under this system, no matter what the ministers tried to do, there was a final result, and the emperor made the final decision.

This is the system that can make the imperial power more concentrated, and it is the prelude to the cabinet system that Wang Mang will introduce in the future.

Shang Yang, as the specific handler of the law change, has long been familiar with the responsibilities and requirements of these law change work, and at this moment, just seeing Wang Mang's expression, he understands what he should do in the future.

It's easy to talk to smart people!

Wang Mang looked at Shang Yang's expression, and knew that Shang Yang understood what he meant, and chuckled: "Shang Yang, I heard that you don't have a house in the capital at present, and it just so happens that I have a set of annexes here that I obtained from the previous raid of Fang Xizhi's house, and I will reward you with this set of courtyards." ”

Shang Yang looked stunned, and immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

The capital is big, it is not easy to live, Shangyang is not a rich man born, he is still renting a house in Chang'an, and now Wang Mang has given him a house, which has indeed solved his biggest problem at present, but it is the emperor's grace.

What's more, who is Fang Xizhi? The famous big corrupt official that the Great Qin Dynasty has publicized in recent months, and the courtyard of this kind of big corrupt official is definitely a first-class courtyard.

With this unexpected joy, Shang Yang took the key handed over from Deng Fang, hummed a little song, and walked briskly towards his new home.

Looking at the back of Shang Yang leaving, Wang Mang's eyes narrowed, and at this time, Wang Mang had another idea.

The capital is big, and it is not easy to live.

At present, many officials of the imperial court in Chang'an, especially middle and lower-level officials, rent houses, and the monthly rent is a very big burden for these officials.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Jian has repeatedly reflected in the court that officials are living in difficulties and are unwilling to work, and now Wang Mang is thinking about solving this problem.

Public rental housing.

This is a word that comes to Wang Mang's mind, this system introduced in later generations in order to solve the housing problem of low- and middle-income people in the city, and the state came forward to build a number of houses and rent them to low- and middle-income people at a lower price.

And now, Wang Mang feels that it is time to introduce this policy, he wants to reform and develop, Chang'an City wants to expand its scale, Daqin wants to be stronger, there will only be more and more people in Chang'an City, and the housing prices in Chang'an City will become more and more expensive.

Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment.

The lessons of major cities in later generations made Wang Mang clearly see that if the housing prices in Chang'an City soared, it would directly lead to a result, that is, forcing people to leave.

Talent is the first resource for development, leaving talents, we must first solve the house of talents, otherwise such a talent as Shangyang will sooner or later be forced out of Chang'an City by Chang'an's high housing prices.

This is definitely not what Wang Mang wants to see.

If you want to bring down the housing prices in Chang'an City, you can't wait for the housing prices to rise and then suppress them, because there are too many vested interests at that time, and the pressure will only be counterproductive.

Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the soil of high housing prices from the very beginning! Wang Mang said in his heart.
