Chapter 168: The Situation in Southern Xinjiang XII
Zihuixing, in the palace in Luoyang City, one by one courtiers followed Li Taibai into the political hall, and the imperial prime minister Li Taibai in front frowned slightly, obviously thinking about something, in fact, the court meeting is not held often, and it is normal to sometimes not once a month, usually it is mainly a small-scale meeting between Andrea and a few military and political dignitaries.
The Han and Tang Empires fully learned the lessons of redundant government personnel in the land era, and made all-round adjustments to streamline the staff. The current civil servants are tired in one word. Although tired, it does not affect the popularity of this profession, and the reason is simple---
Imperial civil servants, can enjoy high salary, high welfare treatment, do ten years of free welfare housing, can be said to be the most comfortable job, but there is a premise, that is, don't be corrupt, of course, there are always some people who will defy the law, for corruption, Andrea has always had zero tolerance, more than 100,000 star yuan, directly do not need to judge, click to finish, although some so-called experts and professors questioned the empress's move against the Constitution, but the Han and Tang Dynasty people only when these experts and professors are full of support, put P, The people's wish is actually very simple, that is, to live under a blue sky.
However, the recruitment examination is also very strict, and it is a national unified examination, and the candidates who are admitted are directly assigned to a certain position, and the administrative units below have no right to recruit any civil servants, which also completely cuts off the corruption that breeds therefrom. There is no redundant post, and every civil servant on duty must complete his work on time, and in the administrative service center of Luoyang City, there is a large plaque written by Andrea herself - to serve the people wholeheartedly.
"Your Honors, Saint Ann."
"Flat, no courtesy."
Andrea said with a smile, obviously she was in a particularly good mood today.
Seeing the smile on Andrea's face, Li Taibai smiled bitterly twice in his heart, secretly thinking about how to cooperate with Her Majesty the Empress for a while.
Li Yinglian next to her pulled the duck's neck and shouted, "Please play if you have something." ”
Sure enough, Ye Mingkun was the first to jump out,
"Begin to play Your Majesty, congratulations, under the blessing of Your Majesty's Heavenly Authority, yesterday the Dawning Army regained Ye Zhongxing, and the minister implored His Majesty to reward the front-line soldiers, and allow me to go to the front line to recover the stars of the southern Xinjiang of my Han and Tang Empire."
Before Andrea could speak, Meng Zide, the Minister of Foreign Affairs next to her, jumped out,
"Never, Your Majesty. Recently, there have been a series of changes in our armed forces, which have aroused the attention of Western countries, and under the premise of developing cosmic peace, we should not use too much force, and we must rely on diplomatic means to resolve everything. As for commending front-line soldiers, this matter should not be too high-profile. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"Seconded by the Minister"
Jiang Yuan, Minister of Commerce, and Pyle Likens, Minister of General Armament, stood up in unison.
Ye Mingkun glanced at Meng Zide, he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, seeing that the other party ignored him, Meng Zide's face suddenly turned a little purple, and he looked at the old man in front of him, the other party sighed, stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, the country is so big, the belligerent will die, please think twice. Jiang Wei's son, this time he acted too recklessly. ”
This old man is Andrea's teacher when she was the crown prince, and now the dean of the Purple Emblem Academy, 120 years old, after the saint, Kong Zhen. Although he is only a dean, only Huai En and Ye Mingkun can sit on an equal footing with him among these ministers here, even if it is Prime Minister Li Taibai, he must respectfully call him a teacher, as the teacher of the Son of Heaven, the queen of the saints, and the leader of the world of literature, although Kong Zhen does not hold any real position, but his influence is very great, not to mention anything else, at least half of the civil officials in this hall are from Zihui Academy and are his students.
"I said, Old Man Kong, do you mean that our territory is gone? Do you know how much blood the ancestors shed in exchange? Do you know how much pressure the Wolf Tooth Independent Division withstood this time? ”
Hearing Ye Mingkun's words, Kong Zhen frowned,
"Naturally, the territory must be recovered, but not by force, but by diplomatic means."
"Your diplomacy is too slow, it's been decades, and I haven't seen you get one back, and you know all day long that I protest and I condemn. If the protest is useful, do you want us soldiers to do it? It's like taking off your pants and putting P. ”
"You, you ......"
Kong Zhen was speechless by his anger, so he simply ignored him and looked at Andrea.
"Teacher, Ye Shuai, don't be angry, Taibai, what do you think."
Seeing that His Majesty kicked the ball to himself, and sensing the teacher's hot gaze looking at him, Li Taibai said stubbornly,
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is impossible to fully recover the stars in southern Xinjiang for the time being, but he can send His Royal Highness Lanling to Ye Zhongxing to reward the three armies, and the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies must not be chilled. Although Commander Jiang acted a little recklessly this time, his loyalty and courage were commendable, and he successfully recovered the two stars, which can be described as a high level of hard work. ”
After hearing Li Taibai's words, Kong Zhen was a little angry, but seeing the disciple's bitter expression, and looking at Andrea's smile and listening, he also understood something, obviously, this is Andrea's meaning, without her signal, Li Taibai would never have said so. He knew very well in his heart that although Andrea sincerely respected him, he really didn't have much respect for the Confucianism he represented, and it could be said that he didn't agree with this set of theories at all, thinking of all the lessons he had taught her before, he sighed and didn't say anything.
"Well, yes, the prime minister's construction coincides with me. Teacher, Ye Shuai, what do you think? ”
In fact, Andrea did not have the will to fully recover southern Xinjiang at this time, just now she just borrowed Ye Mingkun's mouth to see the reaction of the ministers in the court.
"The minister seconded the proposal." The two said in unison, one smug and the other lost.
------
"Legionnaire, those Pennsylvania residents are collectively asking to return."
"Of course we can return, but we have to settle this account first."
"Huh?"
Hearing Jiang Wei say this, Ding Hou was a little dumbfounded, what kind of account is it? Including Ning Liheng and Shui Hanbing around him, they were all looking forward to his next step.
"Cough, brothers of the Harun tribe, more than 20 years ago, in order to escape the war, they migrated to Yezhongxing and became residents with the right of permanent residence in our country, our residents have been brutally exploited and oppressed by these Pennsylvan for 20 years, and now they want to pat their butts and leave? How can there be such a good thing. ”
"Legion Commander, it looks like they haven't applied for a resident card? Besides, the UN mediation team is about to arrive in Yezhongxing, so we can use this excuse to ......"
At this time, Maria came over heroically and handed him a text, and he smiled slightly after reading it,
"Look, this is twenty years ago, when the patriarch of the Harun clan just entered Ye Zhongxing, he submitted an application to the immigration office of the Han and Tang Empires, according to the imperial constitution, the patriarch has the right to apply for the residence permit of the whole clan on behalf of the clan, and if it is delayed due to force majeure, the resident status will be counted from the date of delay. Therefore, they are the residents of our Han and Tang Empires, and we have to talk about the law. ”
Shui Hanbing looked at the so-called application form from twenty years ago in Jiang Wei's hand, although the paper looked very old, but she wanted to complain a few words, Legion Commander, the ink on it has not dried yet, but this trick is ruthless enough. She also took a high look at Jiang Wei, martial arts cultivation is high, and she can fight, but she didn't expect that politicians are also familiar with this set.
"So what do we do?"
He smiled slightly and said lightly,
"When the mediation organization of the United Nations comes, let the Harun brothers hold a grievance meeting, speak their minds freely, find out the wicked people who have oppressed them for a long time, and compensate the Harun brothers for their losses over the years."
As the news of Jiang Wei's contribution to the Harun tribe spread, the entire Harun camp exploded, and the leaders of various villages gathered here to the patriarch of Buffy, looking at the eagerness on the faces of the surrounding tribesmen, Buffy stood on the table with difficulty and shouted:
"Brothers, don't worry, now we have to invite Master Jiang to speak."
Immediately, everyone applauded.
After Jiang Wei helped Buffy down, he stood on the table in the middle and whispered apologetically:
"Brothers, I'm ashamed. As an imperial soldier, I feel deeply guilty that I have allowed my brothers to live a life of oppression for more than 20 years. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hearts of the people below were warm, this young Master Jiang was not at all as arrogant and unreasonable as those Binglu Fei soldiers, and called them brothers.
"Yesterday I applied for resident status for everyone, and today I have received the approval of His Majesty, you are now residents of the Han and Tang Empires, and you can live in this land forever."
Hearing this, everyone cheered loudly, and the heads of many villages cried, they were finally not rootless duckweed, they finally had an identity.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty has issued an order, and will appoint Princess Lanling to personally bring your respective resident certificates, and the next step is to vigorously develop and build Ye Zhongxing, at that time, as long as you participate in urban construction, you can get resident points, after reaching sixty points, you can become citizens of the empire, enjoy medical work-related injury insurance, you can get your own land, you can grow whatever food you want, and you don't have to pay a penny of tax. Of course, self-employment is taxable. ”
Hearing this, the crowd below exploded all of a sudden, and they could actually get their own land? Growing food without paying taxes? They looked at Jiang Wei undoubtedly, and after seeing the latter's firm eyes, they cheered, wave after wave, and the good news spread quickly among the tribes, and countless clansmen wept silently.
Jiang Wei waved his big hand, and everyone turned their attention to this young man again.
"Recently, the illegal residents of Pennsylvania wanted to return, but I didn't agree, because I know that over the years, the brothers have suffered a lot of grievances and even been persecuted by them, and we should not let these crimes be buried, we should expose and report their crimes, let the sinners receive the punishment they deserve, and let the victims get the compensation they deserve, everyone said, right."
"Yes."
The shouts of the crowd were deafening, they were human beings, not cats and dogs, and the anger in their hearts boiled when they remembered the oppression they had been subjected to, and after the rally, they went to the reporting points set up outside, and presented them with some evidence of persecution, the names of the perpetrators, and so on.
