"Your Highness, in terms of agriculture, there are quite a few early harvests this year."

Zhang Jian reported, "According to the futures price, it may be lower, but after the end of the summer, there will be no continued grain planting, and I am afraid that many farmers will be vacated in the autumn." ”

The matter is classified and is not suitable to be said in the General Assembly.

"Hmm...... In the autumn, you can see how the farmland is arranged, and you can grow two crops of grain. ”

"Early spring and late spring or even early summer, divided into two quarters."

Ye Yu thought about it and said, "Let's try it, after increasing production in this way, we will still collect it at the original price, and farmers can continue to choose the circulation market and futures prices." ”

After discussions on issues other than the General Assembly, a round-table dinner was held as was customary.

It's the New Year's Day of this year.

Ye Lie is also ready for reform.

Due to the unremitting efforts of the propaganda department and the newspaper, during this time, the entire Jia Dynasty had a branch of the newspaper.

Through the official announcement of the propaganda department in various places, the enthusiasm of the literate people in the entire Jiachao was brought into play.

Because they knew that Ye Lie was caring about them and thinking about them.

Of course, the Bureau of Commerce, also relied on Gongsun Ce's secret help to establish it in winter.

All merchants participated in the registration and began to move towards standardization.

Ye Lie was surprised to find that after the merchants were standardized and paid taxes in a unified manner, he had more and more money in his hands!

In the past, he never imagined that business could make so much money!

Of course, the agriculture of the Jia Dynasty is actually developing slowly by relying on Ye Yu's agricultural tools.

It's just that without Ye Yu's futures system, the enthusiasm of farmers is not very high.

Relying on the money collected from commerce, Ye Lie could send people from the Commerce Bureau to set up some factories on the periphery of Beijing to produce some daily necessities on a large scale.

It's finally time for the Chinese New Year.

One day before the Chinese New Year, Ye Lie called the black tiger to the study.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter with calling the ministers here?"

After the black tiger knelt down and saluted, he looked up and saw that the white bird was beside Ye Lie.

"Black Tiger, I know you like money, you like to collect, and so on."

Ye Lie said slowly, "But there are some things I also know, you did it behind my back, right?" ”

"Your Majesty...... This ......"

"The minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned!"

The Black Tiger spoke.

"I know you're loyal, otherwise you won't come back when you come to King Gong."

Ye Lie nodded, "White Bird, say it." ”

Then Shiratori took out a booklet and began to count them one by one.

After the Black Tiger came back, there were two green houses, three restaurants, and three pawn shops......

The money I earn is about an extra 1 million taels a month.

"Shiratori, are you checking me?"

The black tiger frowned, he didn't expect that the white bird who cooperated so well with him would actually check himself?

"That's what Your Majesty meant."

Shiratori opened his mouth and bowed his head.

"I want to know how much you've done behind my back."

Ye Lie spoke, "Of course, what you controlled behind your back before leaving, I also felt something. ”

"Your Majesty, is this going to let the minister die?"

The black tiger was silent for a moment and slowly spoke.

"No, I give you two choices."

"First, you continue to be the head of the secret guard, and you can continue to control these shopkeepers, but these things must be told to me, I didn't stop you from making money, right?"

"The second way, you can choose to continue to do these things behind my back, but you can't continue to be a secret guard."

Ye Lie said slowly.

"This ......"

The black tiger was stunned.

If Ye Lie had known these things before, he would definitely die!

"You heard me right, I won't kill you."

Ye Lie nodded and said, "I won't stop you from making money, whether it's a little industry, or whether it's a stronghold for the secret guards, the secret guards need money to act, it's no problem." ”

"Minister......

The black tiger knelt down and lowered his head very low, "The minister will inform Your Majesty of all this." ”

He didn't want to keep the position of the secret guard, but he wanted to continue to work under Ye Lie.

This is the monarch he recognizes, the lord he recognizes!

"Okay, that's the matter today, and Shiratori won't check on you again."

"You get up first."

Ye Lie nodded and said, "Now, the secret guard is going to take the second step. ”

"Step two?"

The black tiger raised his head, a little puzzled.

"Group Three."

Ye Lie said slowly, "Although the secret guards are for me to do things, supervising hundreds of officials to supervise the entire Jia Dynasty, there is no guarantee that the inside of the secret guards is completely reliable. Others...... The human heart is unpredictable. ”

"But Your Majesty, according to the rules of the secret guards, all the secret guards will be strictly vetted."

Black Tiger nodded.

"People can change, they can follow me for a long time, and there are only a few people who are loyal."

"I'm going to form a third group."

Ye Lie slowly spoke, "White Bird, you give him something." ”

As he spoke, Shiratori handed a booklet to Black Tiger.

This is the construction of the last part of the Secret Guard, and of course it is an absolute secret.

"The third group, responsible for reviewing the secret guards, these people must be kept absolutely secret, so that the secret guards do not know about their existence, they must be the top people."

Ye Lie saw that the black tiger was reading the booklet and explained.

In fact, it is to use the original version of Ye Yu's words.

"The third group, only I, you, and Shiratori know, and no one else knows about the existence of the third group, and the people you choose must be absolutely secret."

Ye Lie frowned, looking very serious.

Only then did Black Tiger understand why, at this time, Ye Lie wanted to make everything transparent.

He is also glad that he chose to be honest.

It is precisely because of the importance of the third group that he must be transparent to Ye Lie and let Ye Lie know everything.

In this way, you can be completely trustworthy.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

Black Tiger said excitedly.

"Okay, prepare slowly, I'll let you do it. But in between, you have to report to me. ”

Ye Lie nodded, "The third group is completed, and after thoroughly investigating the secret guards, I will carry out the next step of reform." ”

"Your Majesty means to start clearing up = getting rid of the diehards?"

The black tiger nodded, and his heart was even more excited.

During the Chinese New Year last year, he went to Ye Yu's court.

Although his own body was limited, he also felt the clarity and rapid development under Ye Yu.

Ye Lie wants to follow Ye Yu's example and finally merge, then the entire Jia Dynasty will also become the ideal appearance!

"It's not a purge, if they want to stay, they have to accept change, if they don't want to stay, I will give him enough treatment and return to his hometown."

Ye Lie explained, "The Jia Dynasty is going to start to have big changes. ”

After all, after this period of secret guards' inventory, coupled with the standardized collection of taxes in commerce, the treasury of the Jia Dynasty was not short of money, and there was no shortage of food.

Although the two years of war have consumed a lot, the previous grain stocks can at least hold on.

That's why Ye Lie was able to do this, he knew that he needed to have a foundation to do more!
