Chapter 147: Three Fires for the New Official

This time the King of Jin rebelled, and there were still some princes in the world who were extremely stable and escaped a catastrophe.

But with the Grace Decree, these princes will also be gone in the future.

It is impossible for the imperial court to use a knife against a prince who has no evil deeds.

These princes also sent congratulatory gifts and letters this time.

After Guo Tianyi canonized the officials of his prince's mansion, he immediately launched a purge operation.

According to Jin Yiwei's investigation information, the Xie family, the Gong family, the Qi family, etc. all have empirical evidence of corruption and perversion of the law.

Even if they didn't have the name of murdering the imperial concubine and prince together with Concubine Shu, these incriminating evidence were enough to clean them up.

Guo Tianyi has long been prepared for both.

Only as a last resort can the scandal of Concubine Shu be shaken out, but that kind of blow to the royal face is irreparable.

Xie Zhida and the others were already in a panic.

When he saw that the prince's forbidden army surrounded the mansion, his suspended heart finally sank.

Guo Tianyi is not a great sage.

How can Guo Tianyi forget the matter of settling accounts after the autumn?

His mother is crazy, his uncle is abolished, and he has an inseparable relationship with these people.

Among them, Qi Feng is also a supporter of the Wei Wang Party.

After Guo Tianyi's imperial decree was issued, the Criminal Department immediately cooperated.

All those who participated in framing Concubine Shu and Wang Zhen before were arrested one after another.

Family property was also confiscated.

In this purge, Guo Tianyi's order was to raze the three clans, and more than 700 people were killed before and after.

Among them, Jin Yiwei found Song Shijie.

Song Shijie's father and daughter were escorted out of Beijing by a special person, and they bought them a house, leaving enough money for them to live for decades.

Guo Tianyi can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

The Queen Mother didn't dare to tell the matter of Concubine Shu, and King Zhou'er was in the palace for the time being.

When they are older, they will be exiled.

When the three families were cleaned up.

King Wei finally couldn't sit still.

He came to the East Palace and wanted to ask to see Guo Tianyi.

Guo Tianyi did not make it difficult, and met with King Wei generously.

King Wei was playing the family card, and at the same time he showed loyalty to Guo Tianyi, and even knelt down.

However, Guo Tianyi didn't pay attention to these performances at all.

Just said, "In the future, you are so self-sufficient".

Since then, the life of King Wei has been full of gains and losses.

Next.

Guo Tianyi went to the court and issued an edict in the court, which immediately won the support of civil and military officials.

This incident is that Guo Tianyi unconditionally sent all the papermaking technology and agricultural technology in his military factory to the Ministry of Industry.

Ge Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was overjoyed, and even called His Royal Highness the Prince Shengming.

With these technologies, the Ministry of Industry was able to order local workshops to produce their own products on the state roads.

Everyone knows what role blank paper plays in the progress of an era.

The progress of agricultural technology and equipment is also the progress of productivity.

This played an extremely important role in the feudal society of the agricultural state.

Guo Tianyi's first order made hundreds of officials look at Guo Tianyi with admiration.

In this way, the price of white paper will also be democratized.

The promotion of agricultural tools is also the well-being of the people.

Guo Tianyi contributed these things to the country, so there would be no money to make?

Not.

On the contrary, Guo Tianyi put forward a requirement to the Ministry of Industry to collect 1 percent of the gross profit every year.

Don't underestimate the one percent.

Once it's rolled out throughout the world, one percent is enough.

Of course, the ministers have no opinion on this.

Guo Tianyi's own things, it is already kind to be able to contribute to the country, if they are replaced, they may not be as open-minded as Guo Tianyi.

"Your Highness, do you still have a royal decree?" Prime Minister Yan Xiliang was extremely happy and looked at Guo Tianyi and said.

After His Royal Highness took office, the atmosphere in the court was different.

The old lady had to ask the old lady for everything before, which made their group of old ministers extremely uncomfortable.

"Whoever knows me, so is the prime minister." Guo Tianyi smiled slightly, and immediately said loudly, "Great unification is something that this prince must complete, what is great unification?" ”

"Naturally, the book is the same text, the car is the same track, the weights and measures are unified, and the currency is unified."

As soon as Guo Tianyi's voice fell, he was immediately seconded by the ministers.

The civil and military officials, except for a very few people, all disagreed.

Now the powerful vassal kings have almost been wiped out.

The imperial court wanted to unify these, and there was basically no obstacle.

For example, the former king of Jin was able to mint money by himself in his fiefdom and had his own currency.

The rest of the vassal kings also had this phenomenon.

Weights and measures should also be unified.

In the past, the bigwigs of some schools of thought have always pursued a principle, that is, as long as the people do not rebel, they can develop whatever the people want.

But it's certainly not going to work.

If a country does not have great unification, how can it prosper and prosper?

There is also the matter of minting money, which must be controlled by the imperial court.

Moreover, if Guo Tianyi ascends the throne in the future, he must set an era name and release new money.

So no official will object.

"There are several kinds of copper coins in my Dafeng now."

Although this copper coin is beautiful, the copper content is too high, and the "difference" between the silver and copper exchange ratio of the court and the market price is too large. ”

"So when criminals take copper coins, they will melt bronze casters for profit."

"Officials can also make a fortune using the difference."

"Ordinary people pay taxes and pay copper coins according to the official price, and they exchange them for silver, which is double the huge profit in minutes."

"Copper money is related to the livelihood of the people, and it must not be turned into evil money, so in addition to fattening corrupt officials, it is harming the people."

"You will quickly execute and return the coinage workshops of the princes and vassal kings of the various state capitals to the public."

"Prince Ben, I don't want to see such a thing happen again."

Guo Tianyi looked at the hundred officials and said word by word, "Among you, some of you have unclean buttocks, and this prince knows, but this prince hopes that you can reform your ways, and don't miss your future." ”

"Prince Shengming!"

After Guo Tianyi's voice fell, the civil and military officials bowed down one after another.

Some people have already covered their foreheads with cold sweat.

In their hearts, it is tantamount to setting off a monstrous wave.

Is the crown prince really the reincarnation of a god?

How is everything clear?

These things, even Emperor Fengjing doesn't understand?

How did they know that Guo Tianyi was a traverser, and Guo Tianyi had seen a lot of such tricks.

There are only a few ways to embezzle.

Minting money is the most risk-free and lucrative thing.

As long as the imperial court firmly holds the right to mint money in its own hands, and then divides it layer by layer, it will be extremely easy to check if someone mints money privately in the future.

"His Royal Highness's policy is really admired by the old minister." Taiwei Wang Yuan stood up and said, "Unified weights and measures can make the measurement of acres of land unified, and it can also avoid the situation of deceitful officials in various state capitals, but..."

After a pause, Yan Xiliang continued, "If we are in a hurry, I'm afraid it will affect the interests of some gentry of the noble clan?" ”

The unification of currency and weights and measures is indeed a prerequisite for unification.

But don't forget, the essence of ancient society was that the Shi royal family and the scholar clan ruled the world together.

There is another point, that is, the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

After the orders of the imperial court are conveyed layer by layer, the county towns in various places may not be able to give you a strong implementation.

This is also a problem.

In addition, there are many gentry in the world, and once their interests are excessively affected, there will be some drawbacks.

"It doesn't matter."

"How can this prince not know the drawbacks?"

"The countermeasure, Prince Ben has already thought of it."

Guo Tianyi smiled calmly, looked at Wang Yuan and said confidently.
