"Reverse the chaos, go against the chaos!"

Ling Hu Su didn't care about these people, and under the guidance of Fei Qing and Wen Zhong, Ling Hu Su sat on a seat on the left side.

The four princes did not have seats, and Ling Husu had a seat because he was now the emperor's spokesperson and his identity was different.

Although the emperor was not there, the ceremony was as usual, and Xu also announced the beginning of the early dynasty, and the courtiers shouted long live.

After the regular ceremony was completed, some ministers proposed the content of the recital, led by Fei Qing and Wen Zhong, assisted by the four princes, and the ministers began to discuss.

The first problem is taxation, there are two states in the northwest that have not paid all the taxes, and it has been verified that the prefecture is deliberately seizing them.

According to the law, the governors of the two states need to be dismissed and investigated, but the problem is that these two states are the territory of the Han king Chen Yi, that is to say, the taxes of the two governors may be handed over to the Han king.

Although the king of Han did not admit it, the ministers on his side were excusing the two governors with various excuses.

"Yizhou and Jingzhou have suffered a severe drought this year, and the unpaid part of the tax has been issued to the people, and Your Majesty has already been consulted on this matter."

"However, Your Majesty has not said that the seizure of so many taxes as disaster relief money is obviously a clever use of the name to enrich your own pockets. There is no famine in Hezhou, if this is the case, the country will not be a country. ”

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, for the survival of the people, not to mention part of the tax silver, even if it is all of it."

"Lord Chen, your words are particularly heartbreaking. Taxation is the foundation of the country, and if it is as you say, how can the country's finances be maintained? Local officials are all using this as an excuse to seize tax money, is it possible to let it go? ”

A group of ministers quarreled, and the question was whether to punish the two governors, each with its own reasons, and it all made sense.

The four princes and the two prime ministers have not yet spoken, but as time passes, Chen Yi's faction, which is inferior in numbers, gradually can't resist, Chen Yi can't stand still, and takes the initiative to ask Wen Zhong: "Wen Xiang, what do you think of it?" ”

Wen Zhong said unhurriedly: "The people are affected by the disaster, and the matter is urgent, and it is not impossible to use taxes and silver. ”

Chen Yi's face was happy, but Wen Zhong didn't finish.

However, tax money is the foundation of the country, but it cannot be disposed of at will, and it is not appropriate to seize it privately. As for how to deal with it, what does Master Fei think? ”

Wen Zhong played Tai Chi well and threw the question to Fei Qing.

Fei Qing said: "Because there is an order from His Majesty, it cannot be considered a private seizure, the problem is the amount of seizure, if it is too much, it will be suspected of embezzlement." ”

After speaking, Fei Qing looked around, trying to find someone to continue to play Tai Chi, and saw Ling Husu.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know what your opinion is, I heard that you have been experiencing the suffering of all beings this year, and you should know a lot about the affairs of the people."

Linghu Su was about to take a nap, and when he heard someone calling him, he immediately shook his spirits.

"Do you want me to have an opinion?"

"Exactly, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to give me advice."

Linghu Su smiled and said, "Okay! I'm not stingy. Well, I want to think about it, your question is whether to deal with the two governors, isn't it? ”

"Exactly."

"Huh? You don't see the focus of the problem right, right? ”

"Princess, please."

"The two governors both said that the seizure of tax silver was for disaster relief, so what about the account books, what kind of victims were rescued, how many people were there, what things were done, whether the silver was spent in practice, and so on, do you have any information?"

The ministers looked at each other, how could there be this.

Wen Zhong and Fei Qing glanced at each other, their eyes were shocked, and Wen Zhong asked: "There is no relevant information, may I ask Your Highness, how to deal with it?" ”

"It's easy! Sending officials to investigate on the spot must be honest officials, and it is not good to investigate the issues we just said before discussing them! ”

Fei Qing said: "But Your Highness, sending central officials to the local area can't achieve much results. ”

Ling Husu understood that in this dynasty, the local power was extremely great, and the rights of the central officials were often inferior to those of the local officials, so the imperial court rarely sent central officials to the local area to investigate, at most the emperor sent eunuchs to supervise it.

Linghu Su replied: "Your Majesty has selected an official as the minister of the Imperial Mission, with the Imperial Sword, who can behead the officials and kill the mob, so that the local officials can only cooperate, otherwise, the Minister can punish him." ”

The ministers were shocked, and some ministers exclaimed: "Doesn't this give the so-called ministers the right to make decisions?" ”

"It's not arbitrary, it's just to make things more convenient and less obstructive. Although the Imperial Sword can kill an official, it cannot be killed unjustly, unless the person's crime is revealed to be harmful to others. In addition, the ministers represent His Majesty and are not subject to any constraints, not even the two prime ministers. ”

After listening to Ling Husu's description, the court suddenly turned into a vegetable market, and the ministers discussed a lot, they were very interested in this matter, after all, they could increase their own rights.

A lot of time has passed, and Wen Zhong concluded: "This matter is temporarily suspended, and this official will summarize the results and report them to Your Majesty." What's next for who's going to happen? ”

A minister said: "There are rumors in the market that the Qin State has a large army to defend the country and wants to destroy our country, which makes the people everyone in danger and panic all day long. In the long run, there is a fear of civil strife. ”

After this person finished speaking, a minister soon took over the topic: "Dingzhou captured a lot of rumor-spreading mobs a few days ago, I'm afraid they come from one place, maybe it's an enemy conspiracy." ”

The market reopened, and the ministers expressed their opinions, making Fox Su yawn and he wanted to sleep.

"This official thinks that this is a trivial matter, and there is nothing to worry about, but now, the stability of the court is a big thing."

"No, water can carry boats and capsize boats, and it is a major matter that involves the people, and if this problem is not handled well, I am afraid it will become a disease."

"Lord Zhou is alarmist, it's just rumors, we just need to clarify."

"How to clarify, the rumors are all over the country and out of control."

"In my opinion, every state and county should send people around to read that the country is stable and that there is no crisis, so as to dispel the fear of the people."

"It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do, and to preach to the people, the consumption of manpower and material resources is no longer bearable. In order to prepare for a possible war, most of the silver in the treasury had to be set aside and could not be wasted. "It was Tobe Shangshu who said this, and he was right.

Wen Zhong didn't say anything this time, and asked Ling Husu directly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you have a way?" ”

Ling Husu rubbed his sore eyes and asked, "The question now is that there is no way to let the people know the situation of the country?" ”

"Exactly."

"It's simple, use the media to publicize it, just run a newspaper."

Many parts of this world seemed to Ling Husu to be chaotic, like a mixture of dynasties in the original world, some did not, and some things that were very ahead of their time did. Paper, for example, is very common in this world. It stands to reason that the world's level of technology should not be developed on paper.

"What is a newspaper and how to do it?"

Ling Husu explained it in detail, down to every small point, and the ministers listened to it with relish, and they couldn't wait to do it immediately.
