278 Iron fist policy
Out of the city, I have been walking along the official road for a long time, and a few people suddenly rushed out of the small hillside on both sides of the road.
"Sister Yun."
Sister Yun successfully made her collect her weapon, and quickly dismounted and saluted, "Owner." β
Wan Chaoyun in the carriage immediately lifted the curtain and looked at it, and saw a girl dressed in red, with a slender posture, but a heroic girl sitting on a horse, and the horse was the one she was familiar with.
According to the age of the horse, when Song was really getting the day by day, it was not long after he became an adult, but now although a few years have passed, it is just a long period of prime, and it looks more and more robust and majestic.
And the girl on the horse, after years of precipitation, plus learning from several big stewards, well-informed, and confident, has long faded into youth, and has become a young owner who can scare away a large number of thieves with a raised eye, making people dare not peep at the face of the city.
"It's Sister Zhen, why are you here?" Wan Chaoyun asked in surprise.
"Uncle Wan sent me a message, saying that you are going to Tianmu Mountain, and I will come out to pick you up, you guys stop and go, I have been waiting for several days." Song Shizhen hit the horse and came to the carriage, and looked through the door to see Chen Qian lying inside, he was pale and weak at the moment.
"What's wrong with Lord Chen?"
"It's Sister Zhen, I just wanted Lan Qi to go for a trip, now that you're here, you can go for me, there is an old doctor in the city, and his medical skills are not bad, you go and help me take him to give Mr. two injections."
Chen Qian's appearance could last for a while, she thought that she would go to the place first, decoct the medicine according to the previous prescription, and then take the old doctor out at night.
Song Shizhen laughed when she heard this, and she didn't say anything, but just glanced behind her, and a woman behind her rode over and bowed: "Owner, what's the matter?" β
"Show it to Master Chen." Song is the truth.
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
Seeing that she was shocked, Song Shizhen smiled, "The business house has its own medical hall, and our villa should also have it, don't worry, Su Huai is the doctor I have been looking for for a long time to find, and I have tried it with the now famous Yuyuan Doctor Yu, Yuyuan narrowly won, but Su Huai's medical skills, Yuze is not as good as himself." β
"Yes, it's really sister, after leaving me for two years, you will be able to do things in a decent way." Wan Chaoyun praised from the bottom of his heart.
"It should be, it should be." Song Shizhen was not modest in front of her, and showed a rather smug smile, as if to say that he had lived up to your cultivation.
Su was pregnant with the carriage, first checked the pulse, then looked at Chen Qian's eyes, then took out the silver needle, and pricked two needles, "This is my special tranquilizer, take it temporarily, with the condition of adults, you need to find a quiet place to recuperate, you can't hurt your spirit, and you can't be stimulated anymore." β
"Is it okay?"
Su Huai was silent for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes, it's just a little difficult, if he doesn't just ask about political affairs from now on and doesn't worry about hard work, he shouldn't relapse after being cured." β
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult, Sister Yun, you don't know, the emperor didn't know what wrong medicine he had taken, but he completely restored the old law, and ordered those who concealed the population to pay all the taxes, and some families needed to make up dozens of taels of silver, isn't this going to force people to death? Riots began in many places. β
"Not only that, but many local officials are no longer in office, and if something happens, no one cares."
"Why aren't you in office?" Even if you are transferred, you will not be able to leave until the new official arrives.
"The imperial court first issued a decree to restore the old system, transferred all the officials back to their hometowns, and then issued an order to appoint officials, and finally found that no one was available, and I heard that His Majesty was going to prepare Kaienke to select talents."
Wan Chaoyun: "......" Isn't this messing?
"Who came up with the idea?" She was speechless, Emperor Chengtian had been the emperor for all these years, why was he so ignorant?
"King Yu."
"Huh." Wan Chaoyun snorted coldly, she knew that it was this deflated calf, the dog had been a dog for so many years, and finally when the dog reached the time to show his might, he would never give up if he didn't collapse Daxing, but the speed of Emperor Chengtian's mediocrity was too fast.
"Won't the ministers persuade?"
"Persuaded, they persuaded Your Majesty to show comfort to the local wealthy clans and clans, after all, you have been wronged during the New Law period, and Your Majesty has issued dozens of holy decrees."
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
"Forget it, it's not our country anyway, go to Tianmu Mountain, and immediately send someone to pick up my father, my mother and my grandfather, if it goes on like this, the iron cavalry who left the country will soon step into the territory of Daxing and approach the imperial city, but it doesn't matter, the dynasty, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come."
Su Huai and the others saw Wan Chaoyun for the first time, in the Wuxu Trading House, she had been rumored to be a god, but what she didn't expect was that the god was so down-to-earth.
After feeding Chen Qian a pill, the carriage drove slowly, and he did not take the water route, but secretly left by land.
In the capital, the majestic palace, between the red walls and green tiles, from time to time there were two lamentations from Emperor Chengtian, "Isn't there any news from Chen Qing yet?" β
"Your Majesty, Lord Chen was originally going to return to his hometown, but he didn't expect to go to Songyang County but went with Miss Wan, Miss Wan, you also know that the means are all over the world, the slave and maid are really useless, the secret guard followed all the way, and followed to Xiaoqin Village but was put on a position by the people of Fallen Leaf Villa, and lost it."
"Chen Qing is cold to me." Emperor Chengtian lamented again.
Just when Lu Xin didn't know how to comfort him, the little eunuch guarding the door came in and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, King Yu asks to see you." β
"Xuan." Emperor Chengtian immediately said, one after another things were reported to the front of the palace, he was under a lot of pressure, many things could be discussed with Chen Qian before, but now he can only carry it by himself, and he urgently needs one person to share it for him.
King Yu strode from outside the palace and said, "Brother and I see Your Majesty." β
"You came just in time, eight hundred miles of urgency, the Western Xinjiang tribes are making trouble, the iron cavalry that left the country has appeared again, Xiliang City has fallen, the imperial sister means to send more troops, what do you think?"
When the king heard this, his face was as usual, but he was ecstatic in his heart, "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, and the military department wants military salaries, we can't take it, and we can increase the troops, but the issue of military salaries must be solved first. β
"How's that going to be? What do you eat? He was immediately annoyed, for the weather had been good all these years, and although there had been disasters, they had only been small, and there had been no major droughts or floods.
King Yu was full of sorrow, "Your Majesty, this can't be blamed on the household department, Daxing originally had a population of less than 100 million, but now there are as many as 300 million, more than 200 million do not pay taxes, how can the treasury have silver?" The top priority is to let those people who deceive the king pay taxes first, and the taxes of more than 200 million people are enough to support us to fight in the capital of the country! Even the city of Atana is no problem! β
"The people may have difficulties...... "Emperor Chengtian is kind after all, although he is not good as an emperor."
King Yu snorted coldly in his heart, and he looked down on this emperor quite a bit, "Your Majesty, a person is only a few taels of silver, and a family is only twenty taels at most, many of them only need to make up a few taels, and a cake is hundreds of taels, and a few taels of silver, is it difficult?" No! They are contempt for the court! Defy the Regal! β
Emperor Chengtian is not the founding emperor, he doesn't know the hardships of life, and he doesn't know how much silver a pound of food is, how much silver a pound of rice, he only knows hundreds of taels of cakes, and only knows that some rare items such as agate and mutton fat jade are worth a lot, and he feels that his people's lives are very easy.
Seeing that he was somewhat relieved, King Yu said again: "Your Majesty, the most ordinary guys in Wuxu Commercial Bank can earn more than ten taels a year, and at least four people in a family have the ability to earn silver, that is, an income of almost sixty taels, and they can't afford to pay a tax of ten taels?" Your Majesty, you are so kind that you let those Diao people act so boldly and recklessly, and even bully the king! β
"What does the royal brother think? Didn't you make a decree before? "Emperor Chengtian still can't bear it.
"Your Majesty, even if you have made an order, the local officials do not dare to take a tough attitude, and the courtiers think that at this moment of crisis, an iron-fisted policy must be implemented!"
"This matter ......"
"Your Majesty! The Western Xinjiang tribes have been in chaos, and if they are subdued by the country, the consequences will be unimaginable, Your Majesty! You have to think about the century-old foundation of Daxing! Thou shalt not be a woman's kindness, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty can't bear it, let your brother do it, and your brother is willing to be a wicked person for the sake of Daxing and Your Majesty! If you are hated by the subjects of the world, then hate! β
He looked like he was at home, righteous and awe-inspiring, and instantly suppressed Emperor Chengtian.
However, Emperor Chengtian still didn't make up his mind, after all, the four words of iron-fisted means sounded too terrible, which meant that cool officials and bloody, all these years, under the guidance of Chen Qian, he had been ruling the country with benevolence.
At this moment, the eunuch guarding the door came again, and brought a palace maid, as soon as the palace maid entered the hall, she immediately knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, the lady concubine Niangniang heard that Diao people were in turmoil and left the country to invade, so she made a vow to exchange herself for peace in the world, and she has gone on a hunger strike, Your Majesty, the little prince is still young, and he can't live without his mother, Your Majesty." β
"Isn't that nonsense?" Emperor Chengtian was angry, "Where is she now?" β
"It's in the small Buddha hall." The palace maid replied mournfully.
"Your Majesty, even a weak woman like Concubine Niangniang can think so much about Daxing, what are you still hesitating about? Do you want to wait for the national railway to step into the land of Daxing, burn, kill and loot the people of Daxing?! "The king of the servant put on a look like he was open-minded, he was really loyal to the country.
Emperor Chengtian sighed when he heard this, "That's it, you can handle this matter." β
"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, my brother will never live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" The king succeeded, and his voice was much louder.
Speaking of the word trust, Emperor Chengtian took a deep look at the king who bowed to him, he suspected him at the beginning, and finally ended up with no evidence, and then he was also very obedient in the next few years, and never did anything out of the ordinary, although the murderer of the year has not been found, but he does not want to doubt his blood relatives.
If Wan Chaoyun is again, he must die speechless, the emperor thinks it is like this, it is also the best.
When Wan Chaoyun and the others came to Tianmu Mountain, a new round of tough measures was promulgated, and the entire Daxing fell into chaos almost at the same time.
Looking at the information that came, Wan Chaoyun only said: "Once the order is chaotic, it will be difficult to restore it, and even if it is restored, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and I am afraid that the Zhongxing of Daxing will be destroyed by the hands of Emperor Chengtian." β
In the words, there are pity, and there is also hatred that iron does not become steel, and I finally understand why Emperor Chengtian was picked up by a eunuch in his previous life to go to the royal conquest, he deserves!
When he was captured, he was very injured, Chen Qian finally moved back, and after he successfully restored, he immediately killed people.
In this life, if you don't drive the expedition in person, you can change the law at the beginning, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can't stop, because once you stop, everything will be chaotic, and he didn't hold on, and the clan and the wealthy family sold a little badly, so he stopped.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, one word - the!
"Is the gentleman awake?"
Su Huai shook his head, "Not yet, maybe he doesn't want to face it, his body is actually half better, and it stands to reason that he should regain consciousness." β
"That's it, even if you don't want to wake up, you don't have to force it, it's uncomfortable for anyone."
Su Huai saw that her face was not upset and she was depressed, so she went down with the medicine box.
After a while, Song Shizhen came in, picked up a place and sat down at random, and then threw over a pot of wine, "Have a drink?" β
"You also learned to drink?" Wan Chaoyun glanced at it, the wine pot was made of bamboo tubes, and the three characters of bamboo leaves and green were carved on it, which was a spirit.
"I've learned it a long time ago, but I don't know if you dare to drink it, this wine is strong." She said that she took out another jar like a trick, opened the stopper and took a sip, and said cheerfully, "Good wine." β
"You're drinking like this, but it's because the business house is losing money?"
"It's not as simple as losing money." She shook her head, and then scolded angrily, "This dog emperor! I'm so angry, now the government is leviing and expropriating! The people are full of grievances, there is no need to operate normally, there are tens of thousands of losses every day, Sister Yun, in a year, the income of our commercial bank will shrink by more than half, or thirty percent of it will not be able to keep. β
"Money is something outside the body, you can earn it again if you don't have it, let's build Tianmu Mountain first, it's been two years." Wan Chaoyun glanced at the unfinished palace in the distance, "Build such a luxurious building, I don't know that I think you want to be the empress." β
"This is just the faΓ§ade, there is still one behind, I will take you to see, there are a total of thirty-six peaks in Mu Mountain this day, the main peak naturally has to be built in style, by the way, there is a hot spring in the back mountain, I have just asked someone to clean it out, do you live in it yourself, or move Lord Chen over?"
"Move Mr. over, I have nothing to do when I am idle, inspect what the thirty-six peaks look like, I heard that Tianmu Mountain is the most beautiful mountain range in Daxing, wouldn't it be a pity not to take a look?" In order to buy this mountain range, it cost a lot of money!
"Okay, I'll take you." Song Shizhen got up immediately.
Wan Chaoyun picked up the wine, walked out of the house side by side with her, and went straight to the other peaks.
Tianmu Mountain is a magical existence, two of the three peaks have lakes on the summit, and the area is quite large, enough to supply the domestic water and irrigation needs of the 36 peaks.
In addition to the lake, there are also waterfalls, and the river is abundant all year round, giving people the feeling of the Milky Way hanging upside down no matter when you go.
There are lakes, waterfalls, not surprisingly, and stone pinnacles, which form a unique natural barrier, and set up mechanisms in the pinnacles to resist foreign invasions.
