Chapter 674 The Three Counties Wang's Family
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ye Yuanlang, the king of Wuwei County, and Mengjin, the king of Wude County, still walked with Ying Chong. No one dares to approach www.biquge.info around the pen, fun and pavilion, and can only watch from afar.
The four kings and seven dukes in the court, except for Lu Wenjin, the king of Jingbei County, who moved to Fangzhou and was in a state of semi-retirement, these three county kings are now the top military ministers in the court. Even if the Privy Council envoy Lu Zhengen may be equal to the three of them in terms of power, or even half of the winner, but in terms of status, he is still a few points inferior.
"What does it mean to look at you, it seems that you don't agree with the Seedlings Law?"
Ye Yuanlang asked with a smile as he walked: "You have always supported all the law changes proposed by Wang Anshi. It's rare to hesitate this time. β
"There are too many things to take for granted, and too unrealistic. β
Ying Chong's expression was indifferent: "Just one point, if I am a local official, and I have the right to distribute the seedling money in my hands, then which one will distribute it and which one will not issue it, doesn't it all depend on me? Every six months, I need to repay the seedling money and then borrow new money, and the time is too short." And what if the localities are passive and slack off and are unwilling to distribute the green seedling money? Do they have to make a stipulation that a certain amount must be reached every year? I am afraid that this will not help the people, but will affect the people. β
"Well, I remember that the old man heard you say that the more concise and easy the implementation of the court law, the better. β
"Not bad!"
Ying Chong bowed slightly: "Whether it is the inventory of the hidden households in the fields, or the apportionment into the mu, or the official gentry to pay the grain in one, it is all a matter that can be seen at a glance." But like the seedling method, it is too complicated. And the more complicated the decree, the easier it is to give people the opportunity to engage in favoritism. β
"It doesn't make sense to be a bad minister?"
"Since it's all awkward, how can we easily pull it over? Kou Xiang and I argued with him several times, but we couldn't convince him. β
Meng Jin also saw a little Yingchong's thoughts at this time, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I see, I don't want to agree with the Qingmiao Law, and I am worried that after vetoing, it will damage the prestige of An Shigong and cause a counterattack by the courtiers? β
Ye Yuanlang also came to his senses, and shook his head slightly: "This king doesn't think that there is anything wrong with the Nine Rank Official Law." Although there are many drawbacks, the officials who can be selected are generally competent. β
He knew that Yingchong was not worried about the countercurrents in the court. Even if the Qingmiao Law is rejected, as long as the Northern Sect Party and the New Party join forces, no matter what kind of turmoil, it can be suppressed. The reason why this is the case is actually because he is worried that the veto of the Qingmiao Law will affect the reform of the imperial court's township evaluation and inspection system.
"Take your timeβ"
Ying Chong's expression was very calm, although the king minister was stubborn, he only needed to make him realize the shortcomings of the Qingmiao Method, and that one would naturally be able to be as good as a stream.
He planned to carve out a few territories near Xianyang first, so that the prime minister of the king could try out the Qingmiao method, and then talk about other things after success.
The only thing to worry about is His Majesty, who seems to be a little impatient lately. According to his thoughts, it is best to stabilize for a few years at this time, wait a few more years, and wait until the situation in the imperial court is a little more stable. It's just that Your Majesty, but he has been impatient recently, and he has sharpened his sword against the nine-grade official.
But now, even his subordinates and allies are afraid of this reform.
"By the way, when it comes to adjusting the salaries of local clerks today, the old man seems to have known about you in advance?"
Ye Yuanlang asked about the last thing that happened in the court today, and his eyes flashed with strangeness: "This is actually a good thing, but you don't seem to be reluctant." β
This was what puzzled him the most. Ming Ming Yingchong has been in Taoguang for the past three years, pretending to be crazy and stupid. But today, in front of the eyes of the DPRK and China, they put forward such a strategy to invite people to buy people's hearts.
-- At this time, most of the people who were officials in the court were children of the world. And most of the poor families who entered the court through Taixue and Songyang Academy also had rich family backgrounds. Therefore, he is not very sensitive to the amount of salary of the imperial court, and does not live on this salary.
But the unruly scribes, and even the officials, etc., are indeed in dire straits.
This time, Ying Chong robbed this opportunity to envelop the low-level scholars, which must have made many people's hearts congested.
Long before the dispersal of the dynasty, Ye Yuanlang had already seen several princes, and Ying Chong's eyes were wrong. There are also dozens of ministers attached to the prince of the party, and their eyes are a little green.
Ying Chong silently didn't answer, the jade gui he used today was stuffed into his hands by Xie An before the last dynasty, so he didn't know it.
Knowing that it is inappropriate to propose an increase at this time, he may encounter the jealousy of the new king in the future. But when he read the content on the board, he thought that this move would be beneficial to the country. In the end, he couldn't suppress the influence of the Great Freedom Xuangong and played it directly.
As the head of the Wu'an Palace, shouldn't he think about the long-term plan of the Wu'an Palace?
In fact, Ying Chong already has the answer in his heart.
In the past, he personally created the monster of the Northern Sect and used its help to crisscross the court. But as this monster grows and has a will of its own, he will feel more and more difficult to control-
Ye Yuanlang wanted to ask again, but Meng Jin had already seen that Ying Chong was in a bad mood, so he changed the topic with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Wu'an has been in my Liangzhou and Hezhou recently. A large amount of wasteland has been acquired, and the amount has reached 30,000 hectares, but what is the purpose? Is it that he plans to move his family business to Liangzhou?"
-- This is a joke, of course, because almost all of the wasteland acquired by Yingchong this time is a wilderness and no one cares about it. And the price of that acre of wasteland is less than three taels of silver.
Originally, Meng Jin didn't care, until he found that the land that Yingchong had collected had reached more than 30,000 hectares, and it was still growing, which made him feel strange.
I thought to myself, what use can these fields be? Even if they are cultivated into dry fields, the yield per mu will be less than one stone. Counting the cost of manpower, you have to lose money.
"What else can it be for? Naturally, it's to make money!"
Ying Chong laughed, he actually guessed that Meng Jin would ask him about it sooner or later.
"I'm going to plant some cotton over there and raise some melons. β
"Melon?"
Meng Jin's brows frowned slightly, and his eyes were confused. In recent years, some people have mixed cotton between two layers of linen to keep warm and even make bedding. But after doing this, it is not comfortable and the effect is not very good. So even in the north, very few people do that.
As for the melons, Meng Jin can't figure it out. He has also eaten melons, which are full of deliciousness, which is not as good as the fairy melon spirit fruit cultivated by immortal cultivators, but for civilians, it is also a delicacy.
But it is not easy to transport those melons that are planted, and the people of Liangzhou and Hezhou, that is, they grow them for themselves to eat, have never planted them on a large scale.
Ying Chong did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "King Wudejun, you should have heard that under my command, there is a Gongcao named Zhang Heng joining the army?"
"Zhang Heng?"
Meng Jin's gaze was fixed, the name of 'Zhang Heng', he was like thunder. This person's reputation may be unknown in the Great Qin government and the opposition, but at this time, several generals in the Great Qin army have already attached great importance to him.
This person is from the Jizhou scholar family, and his family rank is not high, and he was only rated as a fifth grade when he was evaluated by the township. Later, he was appreciated by Yingchong and recruited into the shogunate, first as a general to join the army, and then promoted to the Ministry of Industry to join the army.
And what made this famous in front of His Majesty was three months ago, Zhang Heng cooperated with Yang Lin, a craftsman from Wu'an Palace, to create an ink armor 'Thunder Fire'.
