Once again, I met the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian, and the latter was particularly enthusiastic about Gao Jingfei.

The reason why there is such an attitude is because the words of this Huashan Taoist made Jiuqiansui taste the sweetness.

"The real person's plan has really come true, and now my old Wei is also praised by the people, this is really a little lady sitting in a sedan chair, the first time!"

Gao Jingfei certainly understood what Wei Zhongxian meant, and said with a smile and a modest compliment:

"This is also the high ability of Duke Wei, and his subordinates must also use it, otherwise if you change it to some people, I am afraid that good things can also become bad things!"

Wei Zhongxian was even happier when he heard this.

When he returned to the capital this time, Gao Jingfei found that the changes he made to this world were also beginning to bear fruit.

For example, at this time, the streets outside the city in the Daming Jingshi City were already clean and tidy, and they were all due to some of the reform measures that Gao Jingfei had mentioned when he talked to Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian last time.

At that time, his advice was to start from a small and grassroots level, and not to touch the sensitive nerves of those with vested interests at the beginning.

Now it seems to be working well.

As the first good place, Jingshi originally had special personnel who were responsible for cleaning and pouring night incense, but the number of people was small and not standardized, but the environment was still much better than the so-called famous cities in the West at this time. It was not until two or three hundred years later that the latter cities would get rid of their identity as dung cities one by one and carry out large-scale clean-up reforms. Eight Chinese Net

According to Gao Jingfei's idea, Wei Zhongxian's subordinates set up the Beijing Division Sweeping and Sprinkler Bureau, and on the basis of the original, they selected some honest poor people and displaced people outside the city to carry out systematic cleaning and dredging projects inside and outside the capital.

This can be regarded as a complete good governance, and has been unanimously praised by the civil and military officials, the people of the capital and foreign traders.

Even those people who oppose it for the sake of opposing it cannons can't say anything bad about this policy proposed by Wei Zhongxian, at most, there will be some petty officials such as Qingliu Yushi who want to waste money and food, and there will be no waves.

This is a good thing for everyone, and whoever tries to stop it will inevitably be punished by the majority of the population.

Moreover, the Jingshi Sweeping Bureau is a new yamen under the East Investigation Factory by Wei Zhongxian, which is essentially a subordinate of the royal family, and the cabinet and the six ministries cannot intervene at all.

This is the first time that his own governance has not been opposed by a large number of civil officials, and Wei Zhongxian has more time with a smile on his face these days than in the first few decades of his life.

And Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, also saw the true ability of his partner, the reason why he did not do well in many places in the past, and was always impeached by civilian officials, now it seems that most of them are caused by political disagreements and conflicts of interest.

At the suggestion of this Huashan Taoist last time, the emperor also quietly asked Wei Zhongxian to arrange for the palace to open several more imperial shops in the city, selling brocade yarn, balm and fragrance in the name of the royal family. Because of the characteristic manufacturing method provided by the Taoist, the sales of these new stores are much better than those of the previous imperial stores, and the emperor's internal money has also entered a lot for a while.

In fact, Gao Jingfei has understood that the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty is money, but it is not money, the lack of money is due to the fact that the civil officials and doctors are too large, lying on the Ming court to suck a lot of blood, embezzling most of the land, as well as salt, iron and tea taxes and foreign maritime trade interests, but not paying taxes, so that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, which eventually led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

That's the fundamental reason.

As for the question of the clan that some people say, how many people can there be in the clan? Except for the Zhu family, who has a prince, the other idle clans that are basically reduced to civilians are not as good as commoners, and the poor who can't open the pot abound.

Just look at the fact that King Fu was so favored during the Wanli period, and almost became the prince, but don't look at the scenery, he was given so much land in Yu Province by Wanli, how much land can King Fu really get? The money and food received even had to be stripped by the local government!

Even the emperor's most favored own son is like this, let alone other clans!

And how many kings are there in the clan? Can it compare with the tens of millions of gentry and landlords in the world? It adds up to a fraction of what people are not as good as.

Originally, many of the policies of the Ming Dynasty were good, such as the social welfare policy proposed by Taizu to relieve the orphans, widows and disabled people, but the bureaucrats were played crookedly, even so, in the case of being deducted money and grain or some institutions were completely rotten, there are still many welfare institutions in various parts of the Ming Dynasty that are not counted, and this alone, Emperor Taizu is immeasurably meritorious.

Later, the Later Jin Dynasty fully inherited the policies of the former Ming Dynasty, and did not do better, but became worse.

That is, in the years of Yonglaosi's reign, many policies were much more rigorous, and as soon as Yonglaosi died, the people below continued to return to their old ways. And after the death of Yong Laosi, he was also arranged by those people to make all kinds of jokes, but his father Kang Mazi, who was so happy, was blown as "the first emperor of the ages", and Qian Long, who was greedy for enjoyment and opened many literary prisons, was praised as the "Holy Lord".

Through his own observation and Wei Zhongxian's introduction, Gao Jingfei also understood the changes in these subtleties in the capital during this time.

In the eyes of civil officials, the biggest incident that has occurred in recent months is the release of the six gentlemen of Donglin.

But what made them feel uncomfortable was that the six gentlemen of Donglin were able to get out of prison because of the nine-thousand-year-old advice of Wei Zhongxian, the head of their sworn rival eunuch party, in front of the emperor.

For Wei Zhongxian to kindly intercede for the Donglin Party, the first reaction of most officials is that something is wrong, and even their own concubines who don't study can know that something is wrong, there must be something greasy in this!

But they couldn't use this as a reason to continue to attack the eunuchs as usual, which made many Qingliu feel panicked.

In addition to the news of the pardon of the six gentlemen of Donglin, which was most valued by the Qingliu civil officials, the Liaodong war situation in the northeast made Gao Jingfei feel a little unhappy.

Although Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian both got round comments from Gao Jingfei's mouth, but this person's performance was too deceptive, in modern terms, he was very good at showmanship, so whether it was within the Donglin Party or other factions in the DPRK and China, they all felt that this person might not have a good temper, but he should be capable.

Therefore, Yuan Dudu is still like in history, and Ning Yuan was retained to preside over the battle. It turned out that everyone was blindsided.

However, at this time, these have not yet happened, and the Houjin side is the best at doing it, Gao Jingfei's memory has an incident in August not long after, Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan recommended by Sun Chengzong, mistakenly believed the words of Liu Boqiao, saying that Houjin Sibeile Huang Taiji was stationed in Yaozhou, and the number of soldiers in hand was less than 300 people.

Shilong was overjoyed, sent troops to cross the Sancha River from Niangniang Palace, intending to attack Yaozhou, and first left Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian two generals to lead the way, at this time, due to the guerrilla Jin Guan, Yao and Xian stationed on Juehua Island did not come to respond, until the 25th the boat still did not arrive, Li and Lu led 800 people to force the Sancha River through seven fishing boats, resulting in the leakage of traces, resulting in the rout of the Battle of Liuhe, more than 400 people were killed and wounded, Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian were killed in battle, and Qian Yingke of the Chinese army fell into the water and died.

Afterwards, the official handed over the impeachment, Shilong was impeached and resigned, Sun Chengzong lied that Li and Lu were "defeated by the river patrol post", and they were still deposed at the same time as Yu Anxing, and Gao Di was appointed as the governor of Liaodong.

This is a far-reaching change in Liaodong, although the Ming side was only a small defeat, and the loss was not much for the entire Liaodong, but it lost Sun Chengzong's overall situation, and replaced it with Gao Di, who was good at money and food but did not have any outstanding ability in military affairs, and it was difficult to suppress the many generals gathered in Liaodong.

Fortunately, Gao Di was very discerning, and after the "Ningyuan Victory", he resigned one after another, completely getting rid of the whirlpool of Liaoshi.

One of the purposes of Gao Jingfei's trip was to change the outcome of this skirmish, so that Sun Chengzong could sit firmly in his position and continue to supervise Liaodong.

After all, the problem now on the Liaodong side is that it is best not to move, and to maintain stability until the Ming side is prepared enough. The more anxious he is to get things done, the easier it is to break his muscles and bones, so that Nurhachi can continue to grow.

Sun Chengzong understands this, and some discerning people in the court also understand it, but those who want to use Liaodong's military spending to profit don't understand it, or they don't care if they understand it.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
