Chapter 111: The Ruthless Emperor
Xiao Rou is now relying on her grandfather to be a great hero in the harem, but Ye Qiu is unwilling to indulge her.
"If you are sick, you can ask for a doctor, and I won't see a doctor, so what's the use of asking me to come over?"
Father-in-law Shun has also figured out Ye Qiu's temper in recent years, at this time, he knows that his tone is not good, but he will not punish people, but in his opinion, it is also Xiao Guifei herself who is too uninteresting, even if she sends someone to invite her five times, His Majesty may not necessarily go to Ganquan Palace once, but she is still happy.
"Hey, the minion is going to reply to the people of Ganquan Palace."
After the subordinates were retreated, Ye Qiu began to think about the matter of shipping, since the period of Gaozu, internal and external troubles, the Japanese and the Japanese were rampant, the Hong Dynasty closed the shipping, and so far only opened up a port in Quancheng.
But even if there is only one port, because of the reason that the Japanese often rob, there are not many people who go to sea, and so far they have not been able to bring considerable tax revenue to the Rainbow Dynasty, and now the northern Xinjiang has gradually calmed down under the trade exchanges, and the land reform has also begun to bear fruit, and his next goal is the shipping of the Rainbow Dynasty.
Closing the country is not a long-term solution, the profits of maritime trade are very considerable, for the development of the Hong Dynasty, it is imperative to eliminate the Japanese invaders, and then with the drive of maritime trade, it will be very easy to implement the commercial reform of the whole country.
After having a general plan in his heart, Ye Qiu summoned the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the household department and the secretary of the ministry of industry on the same day, and sent a secret letter to the governor of Fujian and the governor of Liangguang.
Within a month, Ye Qiu promulgated the holy decree of opening the port and clearing the Japanese pirates, and at the same time, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry also went to Fujian and Liangguang to start a large-scale selection of sites to build ports and ships.
Ye Qiu's action made the nobles in the capital see hope, the land reform forbade the landlords and nobles to annex land, which undoubtedly cut off their financial routes, but now, they saw a new way to get rich, and the Holy Lord did not prohibit them from doing business.
It was recorded in the travelogue that there were gold islands full of gold and pearl islands full of pearls overseas, and even if there were exaggerated elements in the travelogue, from the commercial prosperity of the previous dynasty, shipping was indeed a lucrative industry.
These days, there have been several groups of idle noble disciples who have come to Ye Qiu to ask for advice, even if they know that the operation to eliminate the Japanese is dangerous, but they are still willing to fight, not only to get a piece of the prosperous shipping pie, but also to leave a good impression here in Ye Qiu.
Judging from the past few years since Ye Qiu succeeded to the throne, in the hearts of everyone, he is undoubtedly a Ming Jun who wants to do practical things, and he will definitely leave a heavy pen and ink in the history books in the future, and what about the courtiers who followed Ming Jun, will they also be remembered by future generations?
Just think about it, those noble children who have always taken pleasure as their personal goal are enthusiastic, which young man has no blood? It's just that no one had inspired them before.
Seeing that there were more and more people asking for help, Ye Qiu had another idea in his heart, there were many noble children in the capital, and there were naturally advantages and disadvantages among them, and how to select the talents among them was the key.
Ye Qiu wanted to build an official school, unlike other academies that were only used for reading and exams, he wanted more comprehensive or partial talents in one subject.
After all, there are only a few people in this world who can read, and being able to read does not mean that he can be an official, Ye Qiu just wants to build an official school that subdivides talents.
For example, if you are good at arithmetic, go to the household department, if you are good at handiwork, go to the Ministry of Engineering, and if you are good at martial arts, go to the military department...... Starting from the capital and slowly pushing to the whole country, it's time to change the rotten promotion mechanism.
And in this way, he can also slowly disintegrate Xiao Cheng's influence on the court without moving the country, and the matter of official learning was proposed by him, and the people who came out of the official school were also protégés of the Son of Heaven.
He can also set up a scholarship system in the government school, so that ordinary students can get bonuses through their studies to reduce the burden on their families, and the children of the nobles will also have a bright face because of the scholarship, and when there is competition, they will work harder.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Qiu immediately summoned King Qing into the palace to discuss At this time, most of the early students must be the children of the nobles, and ordinary people really can't suppress those guys who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they must have respected nobles to suppress them.
"Your Majesty, what is there to summon you! You are not young at this age, and Your Majesty is not considerate and considerate of you. The old princess sorted out the court clothes for King Qing, and couldn't help but be worried.
King Qing's gray beard trembled, and he smiled: "Your Majesty is ambitious, how can I not support him, they all say that our old Ye family has a lot of sins, so there are not many heirs, you see which of these things he is doing now is not for the benefit of the people?" Maybe, our old Ye family can still be prosperous for hundreds of years! ”
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you." The old princess said helplessly.
King Qing entered the palace and listened to Ye Qiu talk about the construction of the official school, he was also excited, there are not many children and grandchildren of their old Ye family, and they are all lazy, give them a little motivation, let them fight with the foreign surname Xungui and the children of the common people, naturally it can stimulate their blood, how can the people of their old Ye family be inferior to others?
Moreover, in order to successfully carry out the official study, Ye Qiu is also ready to put the crown prince and the second prince into it, the prince is twelve years old today, Ye Qiu has put him by his side and taught him carefully over the years, and he already has the demeanor of a prince, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, he is better than his peers, and the second brother is worse, the two brothers are one strong and one weak, which can not only motivate themselves but also inspire others.
At the same time, this will also be of great benefit to the crown prince in the future, the first batch of people to enter the official school, either the family is strong or they are outstanding, they will definitely have a place in the future officialdom.
"Have faith?" The next day, after the father and son sweated like rain in the martial arts training ground, Ye Qiu said what he meant to Ye Huaijin and asked.
"Yes." Ye Huaijin's eyes were shining, and he was loud.
"Take good care of your second brother, and don't let him stay too far away from others, so as not to lose the face of our old Ye family." Ye Qiu patted his son, who was already shoulder-high, and ordered with a smile.
"Father, don't worry, I'll go back and supervise the emperor." At this time, the second prince, who was still playing in the Qingyu Palace of his mother, didn't know that his day of suffering was about to start today.
The second prince has always been a little transparent in the palace, not as much as Ye Qiu attaches importance to the prince to teach him, nor as much as the queen mother cares about him as the third prince, Concubine Liu is a concubine who is not very favored, all these years she has devoted herself to the second prince, but she only cares about pampering and not teaching, but fortunately, the second prince himself is a character who does not fight or grab, and he can have fun all day if he has to eat and play.
But after all, he is a prince, so naturally he can't be worse than others, and when the time comes, what he will lose when he enters the official school is the face of the emperor and the prince, so from today on, the palace people don't know if they can see the carefree second prince.
