Chapter 126: The Chicken Calls the Emperor in the Middle of the Night
Late at night, after a simple full treatment, Jia Liu started to work.
The young emperor liked to work at night, because he felt that being quiet at night could make his mind more open, his brain cells more active, and his thinking dimension could become higher, so that it would not be easy to make wrong decisions and affect the development of the country.
Work can never be done, so many times Jia Liu starts to sleep when he hears the sound of chickens.
How can there be chickens in the Forbidden City?
It's not interesting to ask this, there are still bears in the Old Summer Palace.
In order to increase the intake of meat protein, but also to reduce the burden of the people, under the special call of Jia Liu, the lady group headed by Ruxiu and Yuanyuan raised chickens, ducks, and sheep in the palace.
Jia Liu likes to take his children to play in a sheep cart.
It has been two years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the country has also restored its great unification, but Jia Liu's heart is always in trouble, and he always thinks that there is something wrong with this country, because the unity of the country is only a superficial unity, and it is a compromise unity.
Specifically, many old and young relics of the former Qing Dynasty still hold official positions from the governor to the small county.
This also led to the fact that the national policy of the Restoration implemented by Jia Liu is currently only carried out smoothly in Zhili, Shandong, Sichuan, Hubei and other places, and the rest of the provinces are still like a pool of stagnant water.
Of course, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and of course Jia Liu hopes that the empire will enter capitalism overnight, but it is not good to take too big a step, and it is easy to cause disasters.
Therefore, it is only right to implement it in an orderly manner.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, as of July this year, Beiyang Commerce has increased the tax revenue of more than 13 million taels to the national treasury, which is obviously less than the annual income of more than 50 million yuan in Nanyang Guangdong, but it is still a huge fiscal revenue for the new government.
When it was placed in Qianlong, it was equivalent to the annual financial income of four Zhili.
With the improvement and maturity of all aspects, the trade sector is bound to develop at an unimaginable speed.
With money in the treasury, Jia Liu is naturally easy to do.
Whether it is the improvement of the environmental appearance of major cities, or the promotion of road hardware facilities, or the development of the industrial field, or the popularization of education and medical care, they can all begin to get on the right track little by little.
In terms of the level of governance, Jia Liu thinks that he is definitely a wise and martial artist.
But the existence of conservative forces has made him feel like a fish in his throat.
Force, long since been ruled out by him.
Because this will only hurt the vitality of the country.
So how to solve the conservative forces in the country, as well as the hidden hostile forces.
When returning to Beijing from Nanjing after sacrificing filial piety, Jia Liu said to Hao Shuo, the governor of Jiangsu: "Ideas are more powerful than weapons." ”
Hao Futai was in a state of excitement at that time, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will not give the enemy weapons." ”
Jia Liu was unhappy: "Do you want to give the enemy thoughts?" ”
"Ugh"
Lao Hao didn't know how to deal with it, but fortunately, the Sixth Emperor didn't make it difficult for him, and went to the bow of the boat to enjoy the river view.
At this time, the prime minister and vice minister of the cabinet, Asiha, who accompanied the southern tour, glanced thoughtfully at the emperor on the bow of the ship, and then said to Hao Futai, who was stunned to recall what the emperor said: "Go back to Jiangsu, move first, and comprehensively organize officials and gentlemen to study His Majesty's diary, as well as His Majesty's poetry and selected works, essays, essays, and experiences in recent years. It is important to have a firm grasp of the weapon of thought. Only when the thinking is unified and consolidated can His Majesty's great plan for reform become a century-old cause. ”
Lao Hao Rudai was empowered, and hurriedly said: "Understand, understand, organize and implement it as soon as the official goes back!" ”
Although he was a notoriously corrupt official, he was praised for being the first to support the Restoration on behalf of Jiangxi and helping His Majesty the Emperor to elevate and solve the problems of his boss, the Governor of Liangjiang and Prince Zheng of Heshuo.
There is a loss of virtue, but there is more than enough.
"The land south of the Yangtze River has the most prosperous literary style since ancient times, we must take the lead in mobilizing to set an example for other provinces, we must eliminate the poison of Aixin Jueluo, we must let the Jiangsu gentry deeply understand that only the Restoration has a future, and at the same time, we must also let them understand that the things Your Majesty is doing now are all major events that are meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future, and let them actively participate in the new atmosphere of the country, have money to contribute, and some people to contribute people, and to learn from the advanced experience of Zhili in an all-round way, and to build Jiangsu into the first new province in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River."
Lao A explained a few words to Hao Shuo for the first time, pointing out the top priority of his governor's work.
There is no other reason, the main reason is that as soon as he accompanied the emperor to get off the ship to the Xiaguan Wharf, Hao Futai put 30,000 taels of silver tickets into his account.
After a few more words, Lao Ah came to the emperor's side.
Jia Liu asked him casually, "What did you say to Hao Shuo?" ”
Lao Ah hurriedly said: "After the minister goes back, he will mobilize the officials and gentlemen to do a general ideological rectification, so that the people of Jiangsu can know what the Restoration is, why the Restoration, and what are the benefits of the Restoration." ”
After Jia Liu heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "Among my shares, you are the only one who is the most sassy." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"
Lao Ah has a straight waist, and his face can't stop overflowing.
This dialogue between the monarchs and ministers of the river boat made Jia Liu firmly believe in the importance of rectifying his thoughts, so he did two major things after returning to Beijing.
The first is to issue an edict to let the National History Museum rebuild the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and the second is to rectify the "Siku Quanshu" and revise the "Restoration Canon".
These two things should be able to sweep away the poison before the past, and open up a prosperous world for the imperial literary style and history.
Among them, Shanxi Governor Funia asked for the establishment of a large state-owned coal mining group in Shanxi's Dakai Coal Mine, and asked the emperor for approval to set up a steel plant in Shanxi.
This is undoubtedly the overall progress of the Shanxi bureaucracy headed by Funihan, and they have found the key to being promoted to an official position and making a fortune.
Jia Liu happily put pen to paper and approved, "Agreed, the cabinet, industry, and transportation departments will work together with Shanxi Commercial Office." ”
After that, I looked at the Ministry of Communications' Shangshu Michelin's recital, in which Mi proposed to build a railway road from Tianjin to Beijing, saying that according to the spirit of the work conference on the introduction of steam engines in November last year, the Ministry of Communications organized Chinese and foreign scientific and technological experts to confirm that His Majesty the Emperor's genius idea of using steam engines to drive carriages and transport goods was true, so he was preparing to establish a railway.
Jia Liu thought that the steam locomotive should not be fast, but the idea of the railway was very good, so he gave instructions and agreed, and asked the Ministry of Communications to send personnel to the Zhonghua Steam Engine Factory to invest funds, talents and all resources to ensure that the steam locomotive can be rolled off the assembly line before July next year.
At the same time, it is necessary to send personnel to explore the route of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, and properly resolve such matters as expropriation and demolition, so as to benefit the people as much as possible, rather than harm them.
The Admiralty had already made two steam engines on board the ship under the influence of His Majesty's genius idea, and I don't know if this would lead to a toss-up result.
Jia Liu planned to let Vice Admiral Zamur, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, report to Beijing and report to him in detail on the progress of the work on the steam engine on board.
At this time, Ding Qing of the Internal Affairs Committee asked to see him.
"Your Majesty!"
Ding Qing, who was dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, entered the office and saluted His Majesty the Emperor.
Due to the particularity of the Internal Affairs Committee, the gold thread embroidered on the left side of Ding Qing's lieutenant general's uniform collar badge is the word "Internal Affairs", and the word "loyalty" is embroidered on the right.
Jia Liu himself also has a generalissimo uniform, and he did not award himself the rank of marshal, mainly because he was embarrassed.
But the medals and all that are complete.
They are all of the highest quality, all made of gold, there are more than 30 pieces, and they are not only shining gold, but also very energetic.
Jia Liu put down his pen and looked up at Ding Qing: "Have you cleared up the idle matter I picked up at night?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's clear!"
As the director of the Internal Affairs Committee, how could Ding Qing, who was privately called a big spy by many courtiers, not know about His Majesty the Emperor's meddling in the Imperial Procuratorate, so after His Majesty the Emperor left, he immediately took the two sisters away for secret interrogation, and basically found out what the two sisters had complained.
"This matter should be true, I will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow, I want to see how this case cannot be handled locally."
Jia Liu's tone was obviously displeased, but he was called Jia Qingtian by the people of Zhili, where could he rub the sand in his eyes.
Ding Qing hesitated and put forward a possibility, whether to follow this case and put Henan in order.
Although Xu Yucheng, the governor of Henan, was loyal to the emperor, Henan, as a province that joined the big family of the Restoration only after the Restoration, had hardly rectified the officialdom from top to bottom, so not only was corruption rampant, but corruption and perversion of the law were also endless, and it was necessary to use this case to teach Henan officialdom a lesson.
"Huh?"
Jia Liu seemed to think of something, "Yang Naiwu and the little cabbage?" ”
"Your Majesty?"
Ding Qing didn't know who these two people were, so he couldn't help but look suspicious.
Jia Liu didn't answer, and tapped on the table.
Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage were one of the three strange cases in the late Qing Dynasty, and Cixi's wife used this case to purge the Hunan military system that controlled Zhejiang, and took off the top of more than 100 officials.
Now it seems that it is very feasible to get rid of all the officials in Henan officialdom who are not loyal and progressive enough.
And it is not easy to cause a backlash, and it will not give those newly descended governors and governors a handle.
Because, this is a normal way to redress unjust cases, not His Majesty the Emperor's deliberate suppression of Henan officialdom.
It belongs to the people.
"You start and assign some capable personnel to Henan tomorrow to secretly investigate and ensure that the evidence is conclusive."
Jia Liu didn't let Ding Qing go directly, because Ding Qing was a big spy after all, and it would not be good for him to go to Henan to directly intervene in the case, so the Internal Affairs Committee could only do it secretly.
On the surface, he wanted to send a minister of the court.
Who will you send?
Jia Liu thought of Wang Jie, the champion who always wanted to kill him.
After Ding Qing stepped back, Jia Liu took out Wang Jie's resume from the personnel file, looked at it for a long time, and drew a small red circle in his file.
This means that it can be appointed.
After the painting, he ordered someone to send Wang Jie's file to the cabinet and hand it over to Queenie on duty to receive.
Then a few more official documents were approved, and at this time, the bolt pillar knocked lightly on the door and entered, looking at the young master with a little distress and said, "Young master, it's time to rest." ”
Jia Liutou didn't raise his head and said, "How late is this?" Why don't you stop so soon, don't you see me have so many things to deal with? It's not that you don't know that unless the rooster crows, I won't stop, young master. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a rooster crowing outside.
One, two, three.
"Is it almost dawn?"
Jia Liu was a little puzzled, shook his head, put down his pen and drove to Yuanyuan, the second lady of Yongshou Palace.
After the young master left, the bolt pillar hurriedly came to the corner of the outer wall of the East Warm Pavilion, asked a few eunuchs to take the rooster away, and took out the pocket watch given by the Westerners and looked at it, it was 1:20 in the morning.
There are still four or five hours until dawn.
The rooster crows in the middle of the night is a bit excessive, but there is no way, who let the young master become the emperor and serve the people wholeheartedly without regard for his personal body as before.
