Chapter 90: Land Nationalization!
After sitting and thinking about it for a long, long time in the Xuanzheng Palace, Yuwen Shihong couldn't let go of it in his heart for a long time, and finally got up and left silently.
About seven or eight days went on like this.
The work of the officials in Yangzhou City was slowly implemented.
The Judicial Hall has also slowly stepped on the right track, done a lot of good things for the people, and also used the power of the Judicial Hall to pull down a lot of corrupt officials in Yangzhou City, and completely set a position in the hearts of the people.
Originally, the people didn't know much about this new judicial hall that they hadn't heard of, and they didn't dare to take it seriously, thinking that it was something that the people above made out for people to see.
But as soon as the judicial hall began to operate, it was a knife straight at the big corrupt officials in Yangzhou City, and after getting down countless people, the people began to slowly come back to their senses and completely changed their perception of the judicial hall!
Although Xu Suna was born as a beggar, as Yuwen Shihong expected, he knows very well about folk affairs, and those corrupt officials almost have to peel off a layer of skin when they come to him, and they will only be let go if they honestly explain the pickled things they do.
The entire Yangzhou city has also slowly become thriving under the joint governance of all parties, and the happiness of the people has also improved countless times, and some people even began to spontaneously build ancestral halls for Yuwen Shihong.
Completely worship Yuwen Shihong as a god sent by God to save the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
The smiles of the ministers have not been broken every day, and Yu Wenhao, who is guarding the imperial capital, has no teeth to smile when he receives daily letters, and he is extremely relieved.
However, under such conditions, Yuwen Shihong couldn't laugh.
Every day he would look at the bright moon in a daze, and sit outside for half an hour.
For Wei Feifei's love, in such a situation, not only did not ease in the slightest, but became deeper and deeper, and even made him a little unable to swallow!
Yuwen Shihong repeatedly wanted to force himself to forget Wei Feifei, but to no avail!
It's another morning.
Early in the morning, an official in charge of river transportation stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, now because my Northern Zhou Dynasty has beaten down Wangzhou City north of the Huai River, there are many more ships coming and going than in the past, but it is precisely because of this that many robbers who have fallen into the grass have started to make a living as water bandits on the Huai River, and many merchant ships have ruined their poisonous hands, and many traders have also come to redress their grievances recently, and asked the emperor to order troops to suppress the bandits!"
In this era, it has always been the people who can't eat enough to eat, especially when the dynasty is not unified and the troubled times are in full swing.
Yuwen Shihong frowned when he heard this, thinking of the fact that the first batch of fire control troops that he had carefully cultivated during the previous war were buried in the Huai River, and that matter had not yet had time to be settled, I didn't expect these water bandits to dare to be so rampant!
He also asked Qin Kun and Hou Mo Chenqiong and others about the bandits on the Huai River, and they only saw a little bit of fame when they opened fire that day, but they didn't see it very clearly, so they still didn't know much about each other.
Yuwen Shihong believes that these water bandits dare to do such a thing as sinking the ships sent by the army to the front line, it is absolutely impossible for them to be ordinary water bandits, and there must be a big name in it!
At least there are people standing behind these bandits!
At first, he suspected that Wang Wei was behind the ghost, but now that Wang Wei is dead, these water bandits have no intention of stopping, obviously not Wang Wei.
But who else could it be besides Wang Wei?
When Yuwen Shihong was thinking about this matter, Xu Dong had already taken the initiative to stand up and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the last general has experience in marching on the water before, and I also ask the emperor to send Weichen to suppress the bandits!"
He used to be the guard army of the outer city who followed Wang Wei to do things, Wang Wei's army is very watery, of course he is no exception, let him lead the army to suppress bandits, of course, it is the best choice at present.
But Yuwen Shihong was secretly calculating in his heart, if he really exterminated those water bandits like this, would he really be able to find the people behind them?
However, if these bandits are left alone, it will not only have a great impact on the commercial exchanges between Yangzhou and Wangzhou, but also pose a threat to the safety of the people in the two places!
After pondering for a moment, Yuwen Shihong nodded and said.
"Okay, since that's the case, then send General Xu to lead the troops to exterminate these water bandits!"
Although it is also very important to investigate the people behind the scenes, compared with the people's livelihood, it is still the most important at the moment!
The two places of Yangzhou City and Wangzhou City have been harassed by war and the oppression of corrupt officials, the people are not living, and the people are miserable, and now the Northern Zhou Dynasty needs to drive the economy of Yangzhou and Wangzhou as soon as possible!
Especially the people of Wangzhou City! They had been ruled by the Northern Qi, and if they wanted to fully trust the Northern Zhou government and have a sense of belonging to the Northern Zhou, they had to do something that made the people feel comfortable and at ease!
The official in charge of river transportation was suddenly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He is in charge of Yangzhou City's river transportation, although it seems to be a good errand, but he doesn't have too much power under his hands, and there is no one to take care of this kind of thing, these bandits are becoming more and more arrogant, but he can only sigh helplessly, unable to clean them up.
If Yuwen Shihong doesn't care about this matter, it will cause a lot of his follow-up work to be greatly affected, and there will never be much progress, and there will be no chance to make merits!
Yuwen Shihong glanced around and said.
"Do you have anything else to tell you?"
No one spoke anywhere.
Now that all the ministries have slowly started to get on the right track, everything is in order, and I don't want to have a lot of things waiting to start like before.
Yuwen Shihong saw that no one came out to start playing, so he waved his hand.
"Since no one has said anything more, then I will tell you one thing."
"I have recently painstakingly drafted a new land charter, which I want to hand over to all of you to implement one by one!"
Yuwen Shihong paused and said.
"The first one is about the system of confiscating land for state ownership!"
"Starting from Yangzhou City, and then slowly rolling it out to the whole country, the first step is to collect all the land into the state!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials below all looked shocked, their eyes widened in shock, and they didn't dare to say more!
What is the concept of nationalization of land? This is equivalent to starting to move the interests of those feudal kings and big landlords! I didn't expect the emperor to open his mouth to shake things like this!
