Chapter 209: Improving People's Livelihood Starts with the Imperial Palace
Li Yuanfang nodded immediately.
He walked outside the Xuanzheng Palace, grabbed Tang Renjie's trouser leg, and dragged him back to the Xuanzheng Hall like a dead dog.
Tang Renjie's face was covered with blood, and his face was full of unwillingness and anger.
"Tang Tingbai, what did I do wrong?"
"Why are you kicking me inexplicably? I'm also royal, I'm still your cousin, why are you? β
At this moment, Tang Renjie was extremely angry.
He even felt a little inexplicable, and in the court, he was kicked out without saying a word.
His face was full of confusion.
I don't even know why I was beaten.
The most important thing is that in front of the court's civil and military officials, he Tang Renjie doesn't want to lose face?
Although Tang Tingbai is the emperor of Dayan, his status is noble.
But he is also a relative of the emperor.
"Bold !!"
Li Yuanfang shouted violently, raised his leg and kicked directly on Tang Renjie's back.
Bang β
However, Li Yuanfang did not use all his strength.
just kicked Tang Renjie to the ground.
On the dragon chair, Tang Tingbai's face was a little ugly, "Tang Renjie, as the secretary of Dali Temple, drove dozens of innocent people out of the palace, causing dozens of people to freeze to death at the gate of Dali Temple, are you guilty?" β
Tang Tingbai's voice was cold, and he tried his best to restrain his anger.
What?
Hearing this, the civil and military officials were all stunned.
Although they didn't care about the lives of dozens of people, they knew that Tang Tingbai, the Great Yan Emperor, cared extremely much.
Obviously, this Tang Renjie touched the scales of Tang Tingbai, a tyrant.
At the same time, they also wanted to know how Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, would deal with the royal family's disregard for the lives of the people.
"Your Majesty, you just kicked me for dozens of untouchables, didn't you? I'm your cousin, I'm the Dayan royal family, you just beat your cousin for such a trivial matter? β
"Tang Tingbai, you ...... Are you human? β
"Just for a few untouchables, you beat me, you must know that even my father has never hit me on a finger!"
Hearing this, Tang Tingbai sighed, and his heart was full of disappointment at the moment.
This is the Great Yan Imperial Family.
The dignified Yan royal family actually said such a thing.
Tang Tingbai sighed, his eyes were like electricity, staring at Tang Renjie deadly.
"Today you will die."
"But before you die, I will make your death clear!"
"The people of Dayan pay taxes reasonably, hand over the money to the imperial court, and then the court will use the money to do other things, if one day Dayan has no people, or no people pay taxes, how long do you think Dayan can exist?"
"From ancient times to the present, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, our civil and military officials in Dayan, especially the Dayan royal family, should put the people first, you just said a sentence that is very right, whether it is the Qipin County Order or the Yipin Prime Minister, or I am the emperor, they are all public servants of the people."
"Since you are a public servant, you must do your duty, otherwise why do the people spend so much money to raise a group of dogs who bully them?"
This......
Tang Renjie's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang.
"Yuan Fang, take Tang Renjie of Dali Temple down, tie him to the gate of the Yamen of Dali Temple, and strip off his clothes until he freezes to death!"
"In addition, all the officials of the Yamen of Dali Temple did not save them when they saw death, and they were all demoted to commoners, and each of them was beaten with a hundred military sticks!"
What???
Hearing this, the faces of the civil and military officials changed.
"Your Majesty, calm your anger, this matter must not be allowed, Tang Renjie should be killed, he should be killed, but those officials of the Dali Temple Yamen are not guilty of death."
"Yes, and Tang Renjie is the secretary of Dali Temple, covering the sky with one hand in the yamen, even if the officials under him want to help those innocent people, they don't have that power, please take back the emperor's life, just kill Tang Renjie alone, all the officials of Dali Temple have a big demerit, please give them a chance to make meritorious contributions!"
"The old minister seconded the proposal, the officials of Dali Temple are guilty, but the crime is not to death, please ask the emperor to withdraw his order!"
ββ¦β¦β
All the officials spoke in unison, their faces anxious.
You know, there are hundreds of officials in Dali Temple.
Tang Tingbai demoted all these officials to commoners, and beat them with a hundred military sticks.
What is the concept of a hundred military sticks?
Few people survived the 100 sticks.
Even if he survives, he will inevitably be disabled.
It can be said that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, didn't want these officials of Dali Temple to live at all!
On the dragon chair, Tang Tingbai looked at the civil and military officials in the court with a calm face.
"Tang Renjie deserves to die, and the officials of Dali Temple deserve to die if they don't save him, even if they come out overnight to find someone to help, or take these dozens of people to arrange for other yamen?"
"Dozens of Dayan people were frozen to death at the gate of Dali Temple, if I don't kill them, how can I explain to the people of Dayan???"
After speaking, Tang Tingbai directly snorted coldly: "Li Yuanfang go and do it, don't show mercy to your subordinates, if you let me know, you should know the consequences!" β
Hearing this, Li Yuanfang hurriedly nodded: "Please rest assured, the emperor doesn't dare!" β
With that, Li Yuanfang dragged Tang Renjie out of the Xuanzheng Palace.
Tang Tingbai sighed: "Zhou Guangkun of the Ministry of Officials immediately selected officials to supplement Dali Temple, and the rest of the people should go to the court, I am tired, retreat from the dynasty!" β
This......
The officials looked at each other and sighed!
"Wait for the resignation!"
Soon, the officials left, busy with the heavy snow relief.
And Tang Tingbai returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
He now has to find a way to change the living conditions of the people of Dayan.
Although Dayan Kyoto is developing rapidly, most of the people live in thatched houses, which leak rain in summer and wind in winter.
At the same time, even the homes of dignitaries and nobles are built of adobe bricks, and the quality is not very good.
The palace is made of stone, and of green bricks.
But the production of this thing is very small, and it is impossible to spread it to the homes of ordinary people.
Tang Tingbai touched his chin.
He picked up the brush and began to write and draw again on the blank paper.
An hour later, Tang Tingbai finally put down the brush, and he shook his wrist.
It's finally finished.
In front of Tang Tingbai, there were three blank pieces of paper.
One is the firing method of red bricks, the other is the firing method of glass, and the other is the firing method of cement tiles.
These three things are simply not available in this day and age.
And these three things are relatively simple to make, so Tang Tingbai decided to give priority to the manufacture of these three things.
Red bricks can build a house and are extremely strong.
Cement tiles can be used as a substitute for the current tiles.
As for the glass, Tang Tingbai plans to use this to make windows.
Now Dayan's windows are basically wooden and papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
The lighting is not very good, and it breaks at the touch of it.
Even the windows of Tang Tingbai's Heart Hall were papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
There was a strong wind last night and many windows were blown out.
After doing all this, Tang Tingbai handed over the three drawings to Zhao Zibed, the eldest of the five good generals: "Zi Bed, you personally go to the imperial supervisor of the palace, find Wu Le, the imperial supervisor palm seal, personally watch the craftsmen to make these three things, and tell them that I only gave them five days, and they made it, and each of them was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver!" β
"My subordinates understand!" Zhao Zibed nodded hurriedly!
Tang Tingbai sat on the chair and touched his chin.
Five days should be enough.
Tang Tingbai picked up the map of Kyoto City beside him, and he wanted to see now where to start construction.
β¦β¦
Kyoto, Penal Department Yamen.
Now many people are displaced, and the Criminal Department is a place to work, even if some houses can be vacated, it will not be enough for these people to live.
Cang Lei, the head of the Criminal Department, had a gloomy face.
Now there are more than 1,000 Dayan people gathered at the entrance of the criminal department, although there are not many but they are not a lot.
This morning, Jinyi Wei stripped everyone in Dali Temple of their official clothes, and at the gate of Dali Temple, they tortured hundreds of officials of Dali Temple.
Of the 255 officials of Dali Temple, none of them survived.
In the face of a hundred military sticks, this group of weak scholars can't bear it at all!
And this matter, under the deliberate publicity of Jinyiwei, can now be said to be known to everyone in Kyoto.
The people of Kyoto applauded, and even the people who were clearing the snow next to the criminal department were talking about it.
And the officials of Dayan Kyoto trembled in unison, this time they really took the people to heart, because they knew that Tang Tingbai, the tyrant of Dayan, cared about these people, if they didn't care, or if some people froze to death, Tang Tingbai would really kill people.
Thinking of this, Cang Lei sighed and looked at the right attendant of the Criminal Department: "There are so many people, the Criminal Department can't be placed, what do you say?" β
This......
The right attendant of the criminal department was stunned, and he was also a little embarrassed.
After a long time, his eyes lit up: "Ministry, many of our prisons are empty, why don't you let them live in the cells first?" Although the conditions there are a little worse, there is a shelter from the wind and rain so that you don't freeze to death, don't you say? β
Jail?
Cang Lei hesitated.
"Okay, let's do it."
"Let the officials of the prison of the Criminal Department clean up the prison, and then order the carpenter to build some single beds."
"The prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department will be uniformly detained in the deepest part of the prison and strictly guarded."
The right attendant of the Criminal Department hurriedly nodded: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will do it!" β
