Chapter 109: Opinions, Disaster Victims
But although this strategy is good, but now the barbarians are ready to move, and stability is still the priority.
The left and right squires, the ministers of the six ministers, are also at war with the heavens and men in their hearts.
They were able to sit in this position because of the efforts of one person, there are many big families behind them, and thousands of people support them.
Cut off the flesh of his own family to feed Daqian, who can be so loyal.
Being an official is nothing more than living a good life for yourself, where is there anyone who is really a big worker.
After Emperor Qianqing watched the folds several times in a row, he immediately set his eyes on his eight confidant ministers, "Minister Tsuto, you are the head of the household department, in charge of the taxation of the people in the world, how much do you think the treasury will be abundant once this plan is implemented." ”
Tsuta Bushi immediately bowed and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, if this policy is really implemented, the tax revenue of the great cadres can be increased by five times, or even more than eight times, exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars." ”
At present, the tax revenue of the great cadres is only 38 million yuan a year, which is less than a quarter of what it was in its heyday.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars, if the treasury can increase by hundreds of millions of dollars every year, then why are the barbarians afraid."
Emperor Qianqing sighed, and then frowned, "Ministers, tell me, can this policy be implemented?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is even more difficult."
"The policies of the imperial court are all sent by the bureaucrats, and this policy directly opposes the bureaucrats of the family, how can they compromise."
"And once this policy is implemented, there will be not only external worries, but also internal troubles."
"When the time comes, what I am most afraid of is that these bureaucrats will rebel and put the cadres in a dilemma."
"There are pros and cons to everything, there are huge benefits, and there are huge risks."
The ministers of the six ministers held opposing opinions one after another, and they all spoke out the advantages and disadvantages of it.
Emperor Qianqing's face became darker and darker, "Zuo Shilang, what do you think." ”
"This policy will benefit the country and the people, and if it is implemented, it will surely make Daqian prosperous for a hundred years."
After An Lushan struggled for a while, he clenched his fists, "If Your Majesty continues to implement it, the ministers will write a letter to the family and ask the whole clan to support it." ”
"Aiqing has a heart."
Emperor Qianqing praised it, then turned his head and continued to ask, "Right Squire, what do you think?" ”
"This policy was issued 20 years earlier, and the minister will fully support it."
Liu Yu solemnly explained, "Now that the strong enemy is in the pass, if this policy is carried out, the ministers are afraid that the officials in the world will be discordant, and when the barbarians invade, there will be internal troubles, and the cadres will fall into a dilemma." ”
"Uh-huh."
Emperor Qianqing nodded, this was also what he was most worried about, thought about it and said in a deep voice: "If this policy is abandoned, it must not be discussed in the court, so as to avoid turmoil in the official mood and make a big mess." ”
An Lushan frowned.
The emperor wanted to be stable, but now that the strength of the great cadres is gradually fading, even the barbarians are no longer opponents.
Now, if this strategy is launched, it can still be fought.
If it is a few years later, it will not be possible to implement it by that time.
"Yes."
Everyone clasped their fists and bowed.
Emperor Qianqing was about to leave.
An Lushan immediately stopped: "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, and the people can't pay taxes, since it can't be promoted, then you can let the peaceful area implement the grasshopper policy, so as to increase taxes, and even if there are poisonous people to death, there are still people in the fringe states, and they can resist it, please agree with Your Majesty." ”
"Exactly."
Emperor Qianqing thought about it.
Now that the treasury is empty, if you don't get money, you really can't maintain the Daqian Dynasty.
Liu Yu, the right attendant, looked at it expressionlessly, while the head of the third department frowned slightly.
They have discussed this strategy many times, and their faction has always opposed it.
Now that His Majesty has agreed, it will inevitably crush them, and then those ministers will hesitate to take sides.
But it's not okay to oppose it, after all, there is no money to run the government, and when the time comes, you will really go home.
The other two ministers were excited, and this time they won!
"Your Majesty is decisive!"
An Lushan took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Jiang Guomin has made meritorious contributions, can he be transferred back to Kyoto to take office?" ”
Emperor Qianqing frowned, "Let's discuss it in the Inner Imperial Palace." ”
Obviously, I don't agree with this, what else can I discuss in the Inner Imperial Palace?
An Lushan seized the opportunity and continued to admonish, "Your Majesty, please send someone to hire this scholar Mu Shaoyou exceptionally!" ”
"Cut, a little scholar, hired exceptionally, what is the world's talent?"
Emperor Qianqing looked disdainful, "If he is really capable, then he will pass the palace test to enter the court." ”
When he returns, he will let Jinyiwei investigate, find the master behind this scholar, and then transfer him to Kyoto.
As for the scholar who passed the word, he didn't even bother to look at it.
"Yes!"
An Lushan did not dare to continue admonishing.
According to Jiang Guomin's temperament, the promotion of talents must be well thought out.
Now that His Majesty has an opinion on it, it is natural that he will not believe this little gentleman.
It would be too unkind to recruit Mr. into the Shilang Mansion and be a staff member.
But if you want to let him take the palace test, it will take a few years to be able to enter the court as an official.
Alas, for the sake of the great work, it is better to write to ask this gentleman to come out.
Early the next morning, outside the city of Lanzhou.
"Master, please give me something to eat."
"Long live you, sir, please give me a cake."
"Master, my girl is very beautiful, as long as two pieces of silver, you can take it."
"Master, I am willing to sell myself as a slave, just to give me food."
...
A group of victims stopped Mu Shaoyou's carriage, all of them were unclothed, thin as a match, crying and begging.
In winter, they were all dressed in ragged clothes and barefoot.
They looked at the moist eyes.
Two months ago, they were just like these victims, not even better.
Mu Shaoyou looked at these victims and fell silent.
Huang Ximeng persuaded in a soft voice: "There are too many people, son, we can't control it." ”
After walking out of Dayin Mountain, the number of victims increased dramatically, and Mu Shaoyou also gave alms all the way, throwing away three-quarters of his family resources.
Even though we can feed these victims, it is really difficult to keep them alive.
"If you are incompetent, you will take care of yourself, and if you are capable, you will be courteous."
Mu Shaoyou closed his eyes lightly, not looking, "Let's go into the city." ”
Huang Ximeng looked at the melancholy young man in front of him, and the light of admiration continued to flicker in his beautiful contacts.
Along the way, the two didn't talk much.
But the road was rough along the way, and when I got used to bumping and bumping, I felt strange.
Lu Bu took out the business documents issued by Lancheng, and there was also a sword holding certificate.
The chief soldier defending the city glanced at it and said lightly, "Five taels of silver into the city." ”
After Lubu handed over five taels of silver, Mu Shaoyou and the others walked into Lanzhou City.
The general soldier hurriedly said, "Go and follow them, they are from Lan City." ”
