0160 Improve the system
The trial is over, but the effects are just beginning to be felt.
First of all, from the dignitaries to the ordinary people, they all felt the authority from the lord of the country for the first time, and they were in awe of Wen Yiduo.
Secondly, the people love this lord even more, especially the last words have gained a large number of hearts for him.
The effect is more effective than any bittersweet memories and any brainwashing propaganda.
In the end, the officials finally knew what it meant to be a monarch and a minister, and they knew what rules were, and they were much more restrained when doing things.
And Wen Yi himself also understands a truth, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
From the day he stood in this position, he was no longer himself, but the monarch of a country.
His preferences and words and deeds will affect the fate of countless people and the direction of the country.
The king has no selfish affairs.
From that day on, there was a lot less smile on his face, and he no longer put his thoughts on his face, and he began to talk to people in a tricky way.
The effect is also remarkable, the foreign minister has become respectful, conscientious and conscientious and does not dare to make mistakes. The people in the palace were also cautious and did not dare to exceed the rules slightly.
The consequence of this was that he had a lot less fun, but the whole Tang Kingdom became more orderly.
Faced with this result, he smiled bitterly and bitterly.
No wonder Li Shimin said that the king is selfless, so he can serve the heart of the world.
This sentence is also true in reverse, if you want to serve the heart of the world, the king must be selfless.
……
Gan Xian finally seized the opportunity for reform, but it will not end with just one book.
Not long after, he wrote a request to determine the system of the court meeting and the work system, such as what time to come to the court, who to attend the court meeting, what rules are there at the court meeting, and to rest once a few days.
When the country was founded, everyone patronized and discussed important matters, and there was no time to take care of trivial things like this, and now they can take time to perfect the details.
After discussion, everyone decided that the morning court time would be eight o'clock in the morning, and the court meeting would end and go back to their respective yamen to work. If you don't go to the court, you must go to the yamen at eight o'clock and get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon.
If you leave your post in the middle, you have to ask your boss for leave. Even if you go out on an errand, you have to say hello to your immediate boss.
The rest time was changed to once every seven days, and the people in the yamen were divided into two shifts, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, so as not to let everyone rest and no one in the yamen.
Compared to the ten days off one day abroad, this is already very relaxed.
In addition, there is also a sacrificial system that must be improved.
Which festivals hold sacrificial ceremonies, who are sacrificed, and the rituals of sacrifice...... In fact, these are easy to say, there are corresponding rules left by the predecessors, and he just needs to follow them.
The Spring Festival is naturally the most solemn, and on this day it is necessary to sacrifice to the God of Haotian and the ancestors.
Speaking of sacrificing ancestors, Gan Xian accused Wen Yi of being unfilial.
You have established a country, but you have not built a temple, is there anything more unfilial in the world than this?
What else can Wen Yi say, quickly admit his mistake and build a temple to offer all the ancestral tablets.
It's just that his family has been tenants for generations, and when he dies, he can only be buried in a mass graveyard, and he has never seen a genealogy or anything.
The only things he could think of were his grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, and he didn't know anything else, so in the end, there were only these four tablets in the temple.
Chinese attach the most importance to filial piety, and in order to make up for their mistakes, Wen Yi proposed to establish a new festival called Birthday.
This 'birthday' is not to celebrate one's own birth, but to celebrate the child to his parents, thanking his parents for giving birth to him and giving him life.
After the age of 16, children will celebrate their parents' birthday on the day they are born to thank them for their kindness.
This festival is simply in line with the appetite of the ancients, not only the readers, but also the common people.
So Wen Yi forgot that the matter of establishing the temple was immediately ignored, and then a hat of filial piety was buckled on his head.
There are even small stories like Wen Yi tasting medicine for his parents and warming the mat for his grandfather.
This reminded Wen Yi of the legend of the American president and the cherry tree in his previous life. According to incomplete statistics, at least thirty-eight presidents of the United States have cut down cherry trees as children.
In addition to cultivating the temple to worship the ancestors, there is also a need for a place to worship the god Haotian.
So Wen Yi personally designed an altar called the Temple of Heaven.
After the end of summer ploughing, the requisition of people began to build.
Well, this year's summer harvest of 910,000 grains in the three places of the Tang Kingdom, Xue Dayuan and Mo Jun finally realized what it means to be happy.
There's nowhere to put so much food.
Selling grain was put on the agenda.
It just so happened that Kim Rusan and the Baekje people had returned from their second transaction, and this time he brought back more money and goods, as well as good news that Wen Yi wanted to hear.
"The people of Baekje really started to sell porcelain and glass to other countries."
"Their hearts are very dark, and the price they sell is at least twice as high as ours, and the price of glass is several times higher, and they make a net profit of more than three times the difference just by turning it upside down."
Many of them showed angry expressions, obviously unhappy with Baekje's behavior.
If it was before, they would have scolded a long time ago, but now no one dares to scold. Even if someone raises objections, they must be justified.
This is the result of the last rule-making.
Jin Rushan has long known what has happened on the island, and he has a seven-trick heart and knows what he should do.
Always be respectful, don't say a single superfluous word, and don't dare to hang people's appetites.
I heard someone say that the Baekje villains should not do business with them or something, so he explained:
"We want to use the hands of the Baekje people to let the people of the world know about the porcelain and glass of the Tang Kingdom, and the unprofitable Baekje people will not help us make a name for ourselves in vain."
"The more they earn, the harder they will work to resell our goods to other countries, and the sooner our Tang Kingdom will become known."
Hearing this, Wen Yi said: "What Jin Lang said is very true, if you want to take the first, it is unprofitable, why should the people of Baekje work hard to help us become famous. ”
"A few days ago, the secret agents of the Jin Kingdom came with news that blue and white porcelain and glass have become famous in Huiji County and Jiankang, and are known to many powerful people."
"I believe that two or three more deals will make us famous all over the world, and then we will be able to trade directly with other countries without being exploited by Baekje."
The crowd was silent.
After that, Wen Yi asked the topic that everyone was most concerned about: "How is the matter of grain trading?" ”
Jin Rushan said: "The people of Baekje themselves are short of war horses, and at first they did not agree to the plan of exchanging grain for horses. ”
"But I got accurate information from Li Guang that their country is even more short of food, to the point that even the front-line army is short of food, and I heard that their monarch has begun to cut back on his diet."
"So I insisted on exchanging grain for horses, and eventually they had to regress and agree to the plan, and we agreed that the next deal would take place on August 1."
"Because it was the first trade, for safety reasons these transactions were for a hundred horses. Among them were thirty foals, fifty mares, and twenty stallions. ”
