Chapter 362: The Royal Mill Kills the Donkey (Ask for Subscription)
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's another three years!
The eldest lord became the first assistant of the cabinet, and the Rongguo Mansion was extremely dazzling for a while, compared to the heyday of the previous and subsequent generations of Rongguo Gong.
Three years is enough for all the officials in the world to see the strength and madness of the great master.
The anti-corruption storm set off by the eldest lord has arrested thousands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in three years, and these are all particularly serious circumstances, and the less serious ones have not yet had time to be targeted.
After such a toss, the atmosphere of the entire Daqi officialdom was clear, and no one said anything nonsense about '100,000 snowflakes and silver in the Qing prefect' in three years.
The eldest lord is not polite at all, and today he has maximized the power of the General Administration Department and the embroidered clothes guard, and all the officials who have a huge amount of unknown property in the family have all fallen into bad luck, no matter what background they have behind them.
The salt tax reform was launched, and the energy-consuming and time-consuming salt boiling method was replaced by the salt drying method, which directly led to the collapse of the salt merchant group of the two Huai generations, and the salt farms in the coastal areas of various provinces were blooming everywhere, and the price of salt that annoyed the people plummeted.
Most of the official roads between provinces, provinces and prefectures, and between prefectures and counties have been repaired or consolidated, making the land transportation in Daqi speed up by more than 30%.
The canal has also been repaired in sections, and the canal traffic in Daqi has also been greatly improved.
The dams of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Huai River have all begun to be strengthened and repaired, and private capital forces have been involved in them, which has significantly improved both the speed and efficiency of the project.
The imperial court also vigorously encouraged agricultural innovation, rewarded the existence of new grain varieties and new grain crops with the ability to breed, and at the same time vigorously planned nationwide farmland and water conservancy projects, and came up with more effective soil fertilizers and other measures, so that the grain production of the entire Daqi has been significantly improved.
At the same time, the purchase of grain from all over Nanyang has caused the price of grain in Daqi to drop again and again, and even the poorest people who live the most miserable life can feed their families as long as they are willing to work hard.
Not to mention that the problem of food and clothing has been completely solved, and the contradiction of eating in Daqi has been greatly improved, the situation in Daqi is as stable as a waterhole, even if there are waves from time to time, it has no impact on the overall situation.
In just three years, Daqi has entered the prosperous era that the ancient feudal scholars diligently pursued!
The eldest lord is the founder of the prosperous era, and even today's prestige has been suppressed.
It is also because of this that the momentum of Rongguo Mansion has reached its peak, that is, the so-called princes of the clan, as well as the kings with different surnames who hold military power, have to stand aside, and even today's limelight has been overshadowed.
The old lady smiled all day long, and the house was filled with a cheerful atmosphere all day long.
The subordinates of Rongguo Mansion trembled again in the circle of subordinates in the capital, and they were more arrogant than when they were the most rampant in the past.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
has that long-term existence, and in a word, as long as the eldest master works in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet for another five years, the entire Great Qi will enter a real peaceful and prosperous era!
It's just a pity......
"Uncle, why be so aggressive!"
In the study room of the east courtyard of Rongfu, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng sat upright, the eldest man leaned lazily on the back of the chair, Lin Ruhai's face was not very good, and he asked with a wry smile.
"Hehe, since you have reached this position, you naturally want to make a career!"
The eldest lord didn't care, and chuckled: "Is it possible to be indifferent because you are afraid of offending the interests of others?" ”
"But, uncle, you don't leave a way back by doing this!"
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "As far as I know, there are not a few forces that want to remove you from the position of head and assistant of the cabinet, and even today ......."
After a pause at this point, his face became extremely solemn, and there was a great deal of disappointment.
That's right, the eldest master single-handedly dominated the prosperous scene of Daqi, but unfortunately his actions were too big and too intense, and he violated the interests of too many forces, which has caused a shouting and killing.
Also, the momentum of the eldest lord is too strong, which also hinders today's eyes, and there is also the idea of suppression today.
This made Lin Ruhai very dissatisfied and disappointed, the current prosperity of Daqi, but the eldest master single-handedly contributed to it, didn't he benefit from it today?
The eldest lord did not take all the credit, but put the present first everywhere.
At present, the people of Daqi, today's prestige has overwhelmed Taizu Taizong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the lord of Daqi is at its peak.
In this world with ancestral spirits and the Yin Earth Dragon Court, it is no exaggeration to say that with the current merits and popularity, when you reach the Yin Earth Dragon Court a hundred years later, you may become the Optimus Pillar of the Yin Earth Dragon Court!
It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for today's special status, as long as he accumulates popularity for another ten years or so, he may even compete for the position of the son of heaven in the underworld!
And the eldest lord is naturally immeasurably meritorious, the ancestral spirit of the Lin family had a dream before, indicating that the upper realm heavenly court had noticed the existence of the eldest lord, with his massive merit and luck, it was enough to stand on the ground and become a god after a hundred years, and it was still a god with real power and amazing authority.
With the help of the eldest master, there are countless benefits that can be obtained today, but as a result, I just saw the signs of prosperity and wanted to kill the donkey, and the appearance was too ugly!
"Big brother, how should we choose next?"
Master Zhenger, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, his face full of anxiety and worry.
"Nothing to worry about!"
The eldest master waved his hand, squinted his eyes and smiled: "There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master!" ”
He didn't care about the current situation at all, seeing that Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng's faces were very ugly, he waved his hand and said leisurely: "I really can't stay anymore, I'll go!" ”
Stretching out his hand to signal the two of them not to speak, he continued to laugh and said: "Go overseas to expand your territory and become a king yourself!" ”
Lin Ruhai's expression eased, and he said with a smile: "If it really comes at that time, the eldest brother doesn't mind taking me with him, and let me be a prime minister or something in the kingdom built by the eldest uncle!" ”
"Hahaha, Ruhai has been aggrieved for so many years, it's time to show his strength and fight!"
The eldest lord laughed, his expression was full of joy, he glanced back at the shocked second master Zhenger, and said leisurely: "Second brother, when the situation on Daqi's side is over, it will be supported by you and Lian Er!" ”
"Big Brother ......"
The second master of politics was speechless, and he was so confused at this time that he didn't know what to say.
With the ability and ability of the eldest master, as well as the strength of the Jia family at this time, it is not difficult to build a country overseas, but it is just a barbarian land overseas, how can it be compared to the scenery of being the first assistant of the cabinet in Daqi.
This guy's brain is still too stiff, which is the main reason why the eldest master didn't mention to him that there are too many overseas things.
If he knew that even Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong had gone overseas to establish a country, he would have been stunned and speechless.
The eldest lord is still strong, his methods are becoming more and more ruthless, and there are more and more forces that have been offended and violated their interests.
In the next three years, Daqi became more and more prosperous under the governance of the old man, especially the emergence of various high-yield crops, which made Daqi's grain production have developed greatly, and the price of grain has been outrageously low.
With the strong pressure of the big man, the commercial exchanges between various places have not been greatly affected by the government and local powers, and they seem to be more and more prosperous.
The accumulation of contradictions is getting bigger and bigger, so big that almost every discerning person now knows that the situation of the eldest master is not good, it depends on when to do it now.
It wasn't until the eldest lord pointed the finger at private lending, that most of the sect's channels for fishing for gray oil and water were cut off, and the contradiction finally broke out completely.
In other words, private lending, also known as usury, is definitely an unscrupulous and illegal act that harms the people's strength and hurts the country's capital.
It's a pity that the benefits are too huge, especially in the capital, there are not a few clans who make a lot of money and water, and they have mastered a lot of lending channels either openly or secretly, and almost monopolized the lending business in the capital.
The eldest lord aimed at the low-level lending business, the usury directly for the common people, and as for the lending business for the rich and noble, he did not move lightly.
In fact, the method is very simple, that is, to divide the civilian areas into districts, and let private money lenders who have been investigated and are more reasonable and have some conscience set up special small money lending banks, and the money bureau under the direct control of the cabinet is responsible for supervising and managing them, and the interest rate on the loans is stipulated, and the lending institutions are protected by the government.
This directly exterminated the rest of the money lenders who targeted the common people, causing quite a stir.
Originally, with such a wave, it had no impact on the head of the cabinet like the eldest lord, but unfortunately this time the incident was like a spark, which directly exploded the contradictions that had accumulated for a long time.
For a time, the recital of impeachment of the eldest master in the court was sent to today's desk like snowflakes, and the clan also exerted a lot of pressure on today.
If the past example is followed, these impeachment petitions will be dismissed in their entirety, and at the same time, the clan will be severely reprimanded for interfering in the government's affairs.
But this time, today's behavior is very ambiguous, and it is only a snowflake impeachment recital.
After accumulating to a certain extent, let the eldest master defend himself at the court meeting today!
The wind direction has changed, and Jia Enhou, the first assistant of the cabinet, is going to be unlucky!
The hearts of the courtiers were in shock, they didn't have much hope, but they didn't expect to think about it even today, it seems that the lord is going to finish this time.
Shame of the naked!
Today's move is the greatest humiliation for the chief cabinet minister.
The eldest lord looked around, did not rush to defend himself, and had a faint smile on his face, but none of the courtiers dared to look at him, and he felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable when he was swept over, and at the same time, he had the sad thought of a rabbit and a fox in his heart.
"Your Majesty, do you want to kill the donkey?"
The eldest lord chuckled lightly and said what many courtiers thought in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.
