June 7 of the second year of Fan Jiyuan

According to tradition, in the twenty-first year of Changzhi, Fang Xin ascended the throne, although the Yuan was determined early, but it did not officially start until January 1 next year, so the seventh day of June in the second year of the Great Fan Jiyuan has actually passed a full three years

The spring rain is coming, everyone is happy, three years on the throne, there is no major event, not long ago, the three-year national funeral of the Changzhi Emperor is over, thinking of this, Fang Xin, who was taking a walk, smiled lightly, turned around and asked: "Empress Dowager Anci, and Empress Dowager Jiaxi, how is the situation?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the two queen mothers are in the Jingyang Palace."

After Fang Xin ascended the throne, his biological mother was the Empress Dowager Anci, and the original Empress of Changzhi was the Empress Dowager Jiaxi. The queen mother of the two palaces got along with each other and was quite harmonious, as for Fang Xin's younger brother Li Dongde, he was also named the king of Renting County, but it was not hereditary, and the hereditary position was inherited by the eldest son of the original prince, who was the king of Wenyuan County

This disposition was reasonable and satisfactory to the court and the public

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin asks to see you." At this moment, a eunuch stepped forward and spoke.

In the past three years, Fang Xin has not moved the cabinet much, and Qin Haozhong is still the prime minister

Speaking of reality, the fourteen-year-old emperor, even if he is the emperor, as long as there is collusion between inside and outside, a decree of the queen mother can abolish him, so in the past three years, Fang Xin has been firmly on the throne and studied the story of King Chuzhuang - "King Chuzhuang ~ three years of government, no order, no government!" ”

Fang Xin's young man ascended the throne, facing the intricacies of the government and the opposition, in order to stabilize the situation and control the artifact, for three years, he watched and listened silently, and he did nothing on the surface, but in fact he was secretly waiting for the opportunity.

Of course. It's not about doing nothing. In fact. The most fundamental schemes. It's settled down again.

Don't say anything else. Let's just say Gao Shiming. Gao Shiming. Originally, he was the commander of the Fang Xin Palace. Six-rank officer. Now it's only one product. He is the general of the Wupin Wujie Festival. Take charge of the camp and a guard

According to the emperor's pro-army establishment. In addition to the imperial capital, there are three battalions. The Inner Palace Forbidden Army is a total of twelve guards. 1,500 people per bathroom. Gao Shiming is quite dry. Hold this camp firmly

Why didn't you simply promote him to the commander of the forbidden army? That's a member of the three grades. One promotion is not good. Again. Fang Xin actually doesn't think so. Gao Shiming is more loyal than others in this position. Now this location is just right

And within the forbidden army. There are also Ouchi guards. That's not a lot of people. There are also about 1,500 people. It is also controlled by the old man in Fang Xin's mansion. Now it's almost safe

King Chuzhuang reigned for 22 years. To use a man according to his ability. Recruit talent. Recruited a large number of loyal ministers and good generals. for the use of the imperial court. Rectify the dynasty. Water conservancy. Heavy agricultural business. The country is getting stronger day by day. He successively destroyed Yong, attacked Song, attacked Chen, and besieged Zheng. Chen Bing is in the suburbs of Zhou. Won the Zhou Dynasty. Make the state of Chu one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Since he wants to emulate King Chuzhuang, he has not made a sound for three years, and he is a blockbuster, of course, he has taken precautions in other aspects, but there is no need to say much now, I saw that the order went down, and soon, Qin Haozhong came up

Strictly speaking, according to observation, Qin Haozhong is still a loyal minister, where does this come from?

That is, he has been the prime minister for many years and has mastered the real power of the cabinet, but in terms of employing people, he knows how to exercise moderation, especially not to touch the military power and the military power of the emperor's inner palace

To see the Prime Minister, Fang Xin returned to the imperial study

Qin Haozhong stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the will is." ”

For three years, the emperor had been very polite to the cabinet, but seeing the emperor's face, he suddenly felt a little uneasy and restrained his smile

Sure enough, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, gave Qin Haozhong a flat back, and drank a cup of tea, and he suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, there are no more than three hundred national lifespans in the past dynasties, and Dafan is now two hundred and sixty years old, you say, how many more national lifespans are there?" ”

Receiving this question, Qin Hao's center was shocked, and he knelt on the ground intuitively, and cold sweat suddenly oozed out: "Why did the emperor say this?" His Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, every word and every move is a matter of anger, the old minister is frightened, please ask the emperor to retract this statement. ”

Fang Xin didn't say anything, just drank tea

In the imperial study, you can listen to the needle, only the subtle sound of tea

Kneeling on the ground Qin Haozhong, a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, in the past three years, although he was respectful, he was really a little condescending in his heart, and regarded the emperor as a child, but at this time, with this action, he knelt on the ground, and felt a terrible pressure

After a while, Fang Xin said: "Get up, I summoned Mr. Qin to come today, just hoping that Mr. Qin can come with me to take precautions and get through the three-hundred-year mark!" ”

Qin Haozhong shuddered: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister Meng Changzhi Emperor Jian Ba, and by His Majesty's kindness, there is nothing to repay him, and he is willing to follow the power of the horse and die for Dafan." ”

Fang Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Qin is the pillar of my great fan, so let me talk about my great fan's troubles!" ”

As he spoke, he put down his teacup and closed his eyes

"The old minister should do his best to share the emperor's worries."

Qin Hao hesitated a little, saw Fang Xin close his eyes and did not move, gritted his teeth, and said: "If you talk about Dafan's troubles, the first thing is, of course, the rule of officials, the emperor cannot manage the place, and he must fake his hands on them, so half of the rise and fall of the country is on this official, Your Majesty, when Dafan arrives at this time, the rule of officials is indeed going to be rectified." ”

Fang Xin seemed to be smiling, and said: "Thousands of miles to be an official, great power, glory to the ancestors, how can Mr. rectify the rule of officials?" ”

Qin Hao moved in the center, he has been in power for many years, and he knows the shortcomings of it, so he was silent for a moment: he was ready to conduct a world examination - check the yellow book, clarify his rights and responsibilities, and evaluate his political performance.

"Oh, this is the responsibility of the cabinet, and since the gentleman has a heart, he will do it!" Fang Xin said nonchalantly, paused, and asked again: "This is a political matter, besides that, is there anything else that Mr. has?" ”

Qin Haozhong listened and tasted, and felt that the emperor's tone was wrong, so he said lately: "In addition, the world has been peaceful, and although there are some small commotions in various places, it is not a climate. ”

A large-scale uprising failed, the people failed, and tens of millions of people died, and of course the world will be in good health for a few years

"What about finances?" Fang Xin finally asked

"Back to the emperor, the land tax is 10,000 silver yuan, and it has not increased much over the years."

In the year of Fang Xin, he issued the "apportionment into the mu, and the government and the people pay the grain system in one", which was implemented after a massacre, so it has this scale.

"The imperial court salt and iron franchise 15 million silver yuan!"

"Annual income from commercial tax revenue is 10,000 silver yuan!"

"At the end of the above year, the officials paid 350,000,000 silver yuan, and the military expenditure was 15 million silver yuan, and every year the household department always allocated 10,000 silver yuan for the clan to raise the lord, as well as the money for large and small projects and river control and water conservancy, as well as the necessary accumulation of warehouses in various places, so that the household department still has 10,000 silver yuan, and 000000 silver yuan is served in the royal treasury every year!"

Speaking of this, Qin Haozhong gradually gained confidence and said: "Your Majesty, the court is profitable every year, there are savings in the local area, the society is stable, the emperor doesn't have to worry, according to the old minister, there will be no problem within a hundred years!" ”

Indeed, all expenses are profitable every year, even if it is a clan, it is not a problem

Taizu set the world, divided the kings, gave them titles, and gave them money, but it was stipulated that there was only one iron hat king in each generation, and the other princes all started with the county king, and the son-in-law (born to the queen) was one generation minus one, and the prince who was not born to the queen was subtracted from the second class in one generation, and below the viscount, he could enter the office

Therefore, although the population of the clan is multiplying, they all set up their own doors, do business, farm and farm, and there are not many Jinshi who really eat the court, and there are only seventeen iron hat county kings so far

It is completely different from the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when there were 2,000 kings in the country and millions of people to be raised by the state.

All of the above, according to the traditional officials, although there are many troubles in Sheji, it has not yet dried up, and it is no wonder that Qin Haozhong disagrees

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Fang Xin smiled

On the earth, during the Kangxi period, the Qing Dynasty's income was 300 taels, but after the Westernization Movement, the Qing Dynasty in 19111, the financial income of 100 million taels of silver, and the expenditure was only 2 silver, and the annual profit was 100 million taels of silver

You must know that although the silver yuan is equivalent to one or two silver to the outside world, it is actually only eight cents of silver, that is to say, the profit is at least 100 million silver yuan, but this is it, the Qing Dynasty is still over

When it comes to the transformation of this society, it is not only determined by the financial income, but also by the comparison of social forces, so he said: "Mr. Qin said that the land is good, if you are honest and seek the country, come to the people, and reward Mr. with a volume of Analects." ”

Qin Haozhong was born as a traditional scholar, originally had 200 acres of land in his family, was smart since he was a child, and was known as a prodigy.

1. Xiucai in the examination, 15 years old in the middle lift, 211 years old in the Jinshi, was elected as a Jishi.

Later, he served as the secretary of the Guozijian Division, the bachelor of waiting, the bachelor of Hanlin, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and finally entered the cabinet, and was a cabinet scholar (the title of a cabinet member), and he was naturally familiar with the four books and five classics

What does the emperor mean by suddenly coming and rewarding a copy of the Analects?

At that time, I didn't have time to think, so I had to kneel down and thank you: "Thank the emperor for the reward!" ”

Fang Xin said casually again: "What happened to those lifters?" ”

What Fang Xin said is that this year, Sun Baoya led thousands of people to Beijing to take the exam, and jointly wrote to the emperor, proposing "On the Coup D'État of the Times", according to Fang Xin's investigation, this is a person with a background of the times

These people have more or less embraced the progressive ideas of some of the time-travelers

This is similar to the Kang Youwei on the earth back then

However, Fang Xindi's decision was also thunderous, and after the letter, Fang Xin immediately summoned the cabinet, and all those who wrote the letter were all sent to reprimand them, and if they formed a party again, they would be removed from the qualifications for the examination that year, and the cabinet would be further disposed of

At this time, Qin Haozhong replied: "Back to the emperor, Sun Baoya colluded with the party, discussed the government in vain, and reformed his reputation, and the other sixteen people were also guilty of this crime. ”

"Sun Baoya's sins are not forgiven, and he will never be hired in the future, the other sixteen people, it is not easy to study, it is not easy to work, scold, and he is not allowed to take the exam again for six years, that is." Fang Xin said flatly.

If all this core is degraded, they will form a party instead, but only ask Sun Baoya to blame, and the other sixteen people will be exempted, so that this core will die in the bud

"Yes, this is the emperor's benevolence, they will definitely remember it, and they will not dare to be so bold in the future." This is a trivial matter, Qin Haozhong responded casually.

Seeing that the emperor had nothing to say, Qin Haozhong took this thin printed Analects, which was only worth half a silver yuan, and he asked with a full stomach, saying, "The old minister retires!" ”

Qin Haozhong slowly withdrew from the imperial study, from that moment on, he no longer dared to treat the emperor as a child, the emperor rewarded this book, there must be something the emperor had to say in it, which required him to think carefully.

Fang Xin watched Qin Haozhong leave, looked at his figure, and a hint of a smile appeared (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidiancomm, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
