Chapter 283: Return to the Dynasty
Once the people's hearts are scattered, then the country is also scattered.
The people's hearts are well gathered, and after some reforms that are beneficial to the people, they can always slowly bring the people to their hearts.
But I am afraid that if it is not handled in time, it will cause a mutiny.
Once there is a mutiny, then the order of the country will be chaotic.
The chaos of the country is not something that can be remedied in a short period of time, and those mutinous people are troublesome to deal with, and if they are not careful, they will cause the people to hate the imperial court, and the country that has lost the support of the people, what can we talk about fighting in all directions and expanding the territory?
Glancing at Ximo behind him, Yueyan showed a soft light and asked, "What is the easiest to write, but the most difficult?"
"Little sister doesn't know. Ximo shook her head and said with a smile on her face.
"People!" Yueyan said lightly: "The word "person" is very simple to write, only a skimming and a pinch, but the word "person" is difficult to write, because people are complex, at different times, in different places, and even in different weather, people are different, and it is extremely difficult to see through a person." ”
Yue Yan didn't say these words to Tu Shan Wuji, the other party was a rough person, even if he said it, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to understand the meaning.
But Ximo is different, Ximo has always been quite smart, from just now, although Ximo did not express an opinion from beginning to end, Yueyan could see that Ximo was looking at it with his heart, not like Tu Shan Wuji, only seeing some things on the surface.
Indeed, some people see the wind and rudder, see people talk about people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish which of their words is true and which is false. Xi Mo nodded in agreement, when she was in the Xiaohuang Secret Realm to lead the army before, she had encountered this situation many times, if the high-level was confused, she would be easily blinded by the people below.
Yueyan smiled, reached out and touched Ximo's hair and said: "This world is very big, so big that you can't imagine it, my strength alone is limited after all, so I need you to help me manage this world together in the future." ”
Thanks to my sister's affordability, my little sister will definitely live up to my sister's high expectations. Ximo was a little moved when she heard this, if she didn't trust herself, how could Sister Yan be so heartfelt and say these heartfelt words.
She secretly swore in her heart that in the future, she must follow her sister to learn how to govern the country, so that she can share her worries.
"I'm the same!" Tu Shan Wuji couldn't deny.
It is not enough to understand the lives of the villagers, and the thoughts of the people in the cities are also crucial.
The status of the villagers is already at the bottom, and their hard life can be attributed to the exploitation of the local tyrants, after all, the countryside is high and the emperor is far away, and there is actually no government intervention, unless someone reports to the official, or something big happens.
Entering the city, it changed the depression in the countryside, and the hawkers on the street were constantly shouting, and the appearance on the surface was no different from before.
But things can't just be seen from the surface, so Yueyan asked Tu Shan Wuji to do it.
First of all, Tu Shan Wuji randomly found a pleasing hawker on the street and asked directly how much the business tax is today.
Agriculture has agricultural taxes, business has commercial taxes, this is an important part of a country's fiscal revenue, if these two things go wrong, the treasury is bound to be empty, once the treasury is empty, then the country can still be strong?
At first, the peddler was reluctant to talk about it, after all, it involved the interests of some elites, and it could be said that the disaster came from the mouth, and if it accidentally spread, he would suffer.
But Tu Shan Wuji has a violent personality, and after some coercion and temptation, the hawker did not dare to deceive, so he had to tell the story in 1510.
"Damn! It's only been a year since I left the court, and the court has become corrupt like this. Hearing this, Yue Yan couldn't help but be very annoyed, and after a few understandings, the commercial tax of Tianfeng Country is not much better than the agricultural tax, and the real money among the merchants is those who are supported by the powerful, such as these weak hawkers on the street, they naturally become the target of oppression, in addition to the cost problem, it is difficult to make a living with the money earned in a day.
However, the appearance of another incident almost made Yue Yan directly screw off the head of the high-level of the Tianfeng Kingdom.
Yue Yan unexpectedly learned that there were already several relatively strong bandits in the territory of Tianfeng Kingdom, and they had a posture of overthrowing their own rule.
Regarding the issue of taxation, Yue Yan can leave it aside for the time being, but the bandits who disturb the peace of the country can make Yue Yan a little angry.
Seeing that the country she worked so hard to build was made like this by those corrupt officials, Yueyan's heart could be described as mixed, she originally thought that the deterrence of the Heavenly Dome Country could play some role in them, but now it seems that she still underestimated the courage of those officials.
There are indeed very few honest officials in the world, so Yueyan doesn't ask them all to be diligent officials, but everything must have a degree, and once this degree is crossed, then you can only say sorry to them.
If it weren't for her coming back in time, maybe there would be some more moths in Tianfeng Kingdom.
Don't dare to delay outside, Yue Yan went to the capital non-stop, the disadvantages of Tianfeng Kingdom are imminent, and the court is bound to undergo a reshuffle.
......
Yue Yan's figure quietly appeared in the court, which made several high-level executives who were in routine deliberations suddenly break out in a cold sweat, fortunately, several high-level people still remember Yue Yan's appearance, otherwise, they would really collide with the people who decided their future and fate, but I am afraid that they don't even know how they died.
It's just that, looking at Yue Yan's gloomy face, several high-level people were always a little apprehensive in their hearts, for fear of suffering an unwarranted disaster.
"Minister, Kang Wei (Gu Fangping, Fang Qin, Wang Mingyang) see Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a long life, happiness and health. ”
"Hmph!" Yue Yan snorted coldly, but he didn't give them a good look.
"This..."Kang Wei and the others looked at each other, not understanding what they had done wrong, and they actually disgusted His Majesty.
"This king has been away for more than a year, what is the current situation of Tianfeng Kingdom?" Yueyan's eyes were like torches, and he didn't feel in a circle with a few people, so he asked directly.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the Tianfeng Kingdom is in ruins, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the two countries, which have been eyeing each other from the outside, have been forced by the power of the army, but they have converged a lot. "Kang Wei naturally won't tell the truth, he can only stabilize His Majesty temporarily, and then make plans, if something goes wrong in Tianfeng Kingdom, it will be his dereliction of duty as a prime minister.
After all, when His Majesty left, he handed over the administrative power of Tianfeng Kingdom to him, even if he was clever and eloquent, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the involvement.
