Graceful homecoming.

It soon spread to several nearby counties.

His appointment as the county lieutenant of Yu County for the imperial court, with the issuance of the official document of the imperial court, also caused a sensation in the surrounding counties of Xianyang.

There is an endless stream of people visiting every day.

But in addition to congratulations, these people want to ask how they did it? What experience can you impart? Regarding his success, Yu Ke only said modestly, it was because he was impulsive and chose to enlist in the army, which happened to seize the reform of the imperial court, so as to soar.

He also suggested that those who came to inquire should send their children to the army.

The army is indeed the best way to climb up at the bottom of Great Qin.

Not one of them.

It's just that it's very clear.

His success has nothing to do with hard work.

It's all up to the nobles.

If it weren't for Ji Heng's guidance, how could he have seized such an opportunity to fly yellow? But how can most people in the world have access to noble people? It is good to be able to solve the problem of food and clothing, and if you want to stand on the wind, you can only rely on luck.

In these days.

In addition to dealing with the people who came to congratulate him, he also took the time to go to the homes of other colleagues, sent the letters from the three of them, and also informed them of the situation in the barracks, so that they did not have to worry.

He didn't stay in it for long.

There is a vacancy in Dangjun, and they are urgently needed.

Therefore, when the matter at home was almost explained, the family also embarked on a long journey.

Before stepping on the road to the east, Yu Ke asked the coachman to stop the carriage, got off the carriage alone, looked in the direction of Xianyang, took a few careful looks, and bowed respectfully to the west position in the city.

The people who traveled with him looked puzzled.

They all thought that they were saluting His Majesty.

Only Yi Ke himself knew that he was kowtowing to Ji Heng.

His achievements today are all the fulfillments of Ji Heng.

After bowing, he retracted his mind and resolutely stepped into the carriage.

Heading towards Dangjun Yu County.

In the direction of the kowtow, in a cold courtyard, there is a loud sound of reading.

It's just that the sound of reading didn't ring in the courtyard for long.

Because footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

Ying Sinian listened to the sound of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, and quickly straightened his posture, and the sound of reading loudly was also reduced, and at the same time, his eyes looked at the closed courtyard door from time to time, and he naturally heard whose footsteps it was.

It's his father's.

Creak.

The courtyard door was pushed open.

Fusu's figure appeared at the door.

Ying Sinian hurriedly got up and ran to greet him, not daring to be rude.

Fusu looked at Ying Si Nian, who was almost up to his shoulder, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, touched Ying Si Nian's head, and said with a smile: "Do you study seriously on the master's side?" Is there any slackness? Did you make the master angry? ”

Ying Sinian hurriedly said: "The child is studying seriously again, and he has never slackened, let alone made the master angry." ”

Fusu smiled and strode into the courtyard.

The courtyard is different from what it used to be.

In the past, the west side was an open space, and the east side was a vegetable bed, but now there are some more stone troughs in the west, and there are all kinds of bamboo objects, which are different in appearance, and they are scattered on the ground and do not do any covering.

Fusu glanced at it a few times, then withdrew his gaze.

He looked at Ying Sinian and asked, "What about the master?" Where is it now? ”

Ying Sinian skimmed the door of the closed house and said, "Just now, Uncle Twelve found it, saying that it was made of wood pulp, and he couldn't make the paper that the master said at all, and now he is arguing with the master." ”

Hear the words.

Fusu couldn't help but laugh.

He said helplessly: "Your uncle, you still have the temper of the past, you can't bear it, and if you do something a little, you will be sad, but he is the only one who can get along with your master for so long, I am also very curious, how did Hu Hai's paper go." ”

Ying Sinian smiled awkwardly.

The paper didn't come out, and for a few months, whether it was grinding with a stone mill, or beating with a wooden hammer, or beating with a wooden stick, the final 'paper' was stuck into a ball when it came out of the water, not to mention the ink, even if it was held in the hand, it felt awkward.

It's no wonder that Hu Hai has such a big temper.

This is all done by him, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

That's the result?!

Just as the father and son were chatting, Hu Hai had already come out of the house in a huff.

Seeing Fusu, Hu Hai was also stunned for a moment, then arched his hand, and said coldly: "I've seen Your Highness." ”

Fu Su bowed his head.

Hu Hai obviously didn't have the idea of chatting with Fusu, and after taking a look, he went to the west side of the courtyard again and began to pound the stone trough wood pulp.

Looked at.

Fusu shook his head helplessly.

Hu Hai really has a child's temper at all times.

He let Ying Sinian continue his studies, and he himself entered the house.

Then.

Hu Hai beckoned to Ying Sinian and asked, "What is your father doing here?" There's nothing going on in the DPRK lately. ”

Ying Sinian shook his head.

He has been staying here, how can he know this, Fusu didn't tell him.

The two of them muttered, and then went back to their respective halves.

in the house.

Ji Heng and Fusu sat facing each other.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng and said softly: "I came here this time, why did I come, I guess Mr. has already guessed." ”

Ji Heng nodded and said calmly: "It should be a follow-up to Kanto." ”

Fusu said: "Meng Yi has completed the cleanup of Dangjun, and the major local officials have also been shocked by Meng Yi's thunder, and they have sent the salt and iron required by the imperial court to the corresponding warehouse. ”

"The Northern Imperial Court has also made peace with Maudun."

"In a short period of time, the north will be in a stable situation, but there will be some local conflicts."

"But it doesn't matter anymore."

"The twelve gold men have already been smelted."

"More than 600,000 coins were minted, and now they are in the treasury."

"And the construction of Afang Palace and the Great Wall in various places has also sent most of the people back in the past few months, leaving only a small number of people who have not yet arrived, still doing the most basic maintenance and construction, and the imperial court has also saved more than two or three million Qin half taels."

"Meng Yi's purge in Dangjun has also yielded a lot of results."

"Just by copying the corrupt officials and local tyrants in Dangjun County, the value of the money and grain collected has exceeded one million and half taels."

"The imperial treasury is much fuller."

Ji Heng nodded.

Under this wind of 'opening up sources and reducing expenditures', Qin Ting did save a lot of money and food.

A lot of money and grain were also collected through the rectification of officialdom.

But it can't last.

Moreover, the system of the Qin court is very large, which also means that just to support this group of officials, the imperial court will have to invest a lot of money and grain, not to mention that there are nearly a million troops to support, as well as the rewards to be given by military meritors.

Ji Heng said: "Can all the junior schools in various places be built?" ”

Fusu said: "The construction has begun, and some of the classrooms have been completed, and it is estimated that after the autumn, there will be the first batch of students to enroll, but there are not too many scholars in the world who are willing to take the initiative to teach, and the masters in the local townships are also resistant, but there are not many new classrooms at the moment, and it is not too much of a problem." ”

Ji Heng bowed his head and continued: "The school room is the foundation of Great Qin's future prosperity. ”

"There can be no slackness."

Fusu nodded.

He knows that too.

It's just that in the past, the school was taught by lawyers.

In this regard, what the imperial court can do is to try to invite some local literate and hyphenation people to teach, but most of the corporal in the world are light on Qin, and it is not easy to let these people come forward.

In particular, the imperial court has already offended Confucianism.

But Fusu didn't care too much.

If it really doesn't work, let the local officials replace it, or the court will give a certain reward.

Under the heavy reward, it may not be unattractive.

Ji Heng said: "Through 'opening up sources and reducing expenditures', the imperial court has indeed left a lot of money and grain, but these money are temporary, not long-lasting, and cannot last long, so if you want to go long, you need to start from other aspects." ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to take back the economic power of the Kanto region."

"At least the imperial court wants to know how the Kanto economy is working."

"Now that the salt and iron are in storage, most of the Qianshou who served have returned to their hometowns, the local people's hearts are a little stable, and the deterrent effect of the first emperor's patrol still exists, and now is indeed the time to continue to deal a heavy hand with the Kwantung government, but as I said before, any measures taken by the imperial court must be reconsidered."

"If there is too much movement, it will only attract opposition from the entire Kanto, and then the opposition will be too great, and the resistance will be great."

"A lot of things can't be pushed forward."

"Co-opting, dividing, and suppressing are the right way for the court to operate."

"Co-opt the majority and suppress a handful."

"This is what the imperial court will do next."

"And this is also the purpose of Meng Yi's trip to Kanto."

"The relevant decree has been promulgated, and the local government may have noticed something unusual, but it is still unbelievable that the imperial court will really make such a big move in Kanto, so most people are still in the wait-and-see stage, once the imperial court begins to tighten, the local government will gradually be unable to hold back."

"After all, as officials and officials, most people want power and profit."

"Once the economic power is controlled by the imperial court, it is undoubtedly in the hands of the imperial court that it will be its lifeblood."

"They can't be willing."

"Therefore"

"All changes in the world are driven by interests."

"Now that the imperial court has a surplus of money and grain, it can appropriately give some money and grain as a reward to local officials."

"As a reward."

"It's really out of order."

"It's not very accepted by the imperial court."

"But the world's pursuit of profit, even if it is just a Qin half tael, it can greatly appease the low-level officials."

"This is to win over low-level officials."

"Of course, it doesn't really matter whether you do it or not."

"The key thing is that once the imperial court makes up its mind to tighten the economic power of the Kanto, it will inevitably face the obstruction of the local government, and the central court and the local government have always been playing and competing behind their backs, and if it is not handled well, it may cause a catastrophe."

"So we have to be very cautious."

Fusu was silent.

How could he not know?

But there are things that have to be done.

What's more, this time the matter has already been done this far, how can it be possible to give up halfway?

He was not allowed to give up halfway.

Ji Heng said coldly: "The governance of the world has always been to unite the majority and crack down on a handful, and the decree you issued before has intended to make the people of the Kwantung government divide into a small handful, but this is a manifestation of the differentiation, and it cannot achieve the goal, once the court starts, the local government will definitely oppose fiercely, because they are essentially one, one loses, and one prospers." ”

"However, it is impossible for the imperial court to give up."

"Therefore, if you want to properly handle this matter, you can only give up greater benefits."

"Let the local government waver, or even be willing to give up this part of the people in exchange for greater benefits."

Hear the words.

Fusu smiled bitterly.

Now that the imperial court is rushing to 'shrink food and clothing' and 'open source and reduce expenditure', it may take out greater benefits than recovering the right to operate salt and iron in Kanto?

If there really is, how could the officials of the Shaofu not think of it?

Fusu said: "It's not that Fusu questioned, but Fusu really couldn't think of it." ”

"The huge profits of salt and iron are already known to the world, otherwise after the 'official mountains and seas', the imperial court and the local government will benefit so much, but today, in addition to the fields, salt and iron, there are only a few things left, which can make huge profits, but these things are all strictly managed by the imperial court, how can they be distributed to the localities?"

"In addition."

"If there is such a benefit, why doesn't the imperial court handle it itself?"

"Instead of pretending to be someone else?"

"It doesn't make sense, it's not logical."

Fusu looked incredulous.

What's more, what the imperial court wants this time is to tighten the economic control of the Kanto, salt and iron is just the beginning, and after the imperial court really tightens the salt and iron in the future, the economy of the Kanto region will almost always be under the supervision of the imperial court.

This is also the purpose of the imperial court.

Where can the local government make up for the loss of so many benefits? Can you make up for such a big loss?

It's simply not possible.

Ji Heng smiled faintly.

He could understand why Fusu didn't believe it.

Fusu is no longer the past, has an understanding of the world's economy, since it is clear about the source of the world's economy, and now the industries that can produce money have basically fallen into the eyes of the Qin court, and the imperial court has long set up a corresponding tax system.

Ji Heng took a deep breath and said coldly, "Your words are not wrong. ”

"There is really no increment in the world."

"But there is stock."

"And there are quite a few of them."

"This time, Meng Yi confiscated a large amount of money and grain in Dangjun, and these money and grain fields are stocks, and now the way for the imperial court to think is to put forward these stocks, or directly confiscate them, so as to feed the world."

Hear the words.

Fusu couldn't help but gasp.

Looking at Ji Heng's gaze, he was full of solemnity and puzzlement.

Is this the method that Ji Heng can propose?

If the imperial court really did this, wouldn't it be a direct chaos in the world?

This is almost naked snatching money from the world, how can the place sit still?

Fusu shook his head: "You can't do this." ”

"If you do this, the world will do the opposite."

"If the imperial court really does this, it will undoubtedly force everyone in the world to the opposite side, and then not only the local government will oppose it, but the ministers of the court will also oppose it, after all, if you can seize local money today, you may be able to rob other people's money and food tomorrow."

"No, absolutely not."

Fusu's head shook like a rattle.

He still knows the pros and cons.

Daqin is short of money, and he really wants to make money, but he will never go to the opposite side of everyone in the world, that scene is too terrifying, and he is afraid that the internal chaos will be himself.

Ji Hengda laughed.

He smiled and said, "Looting money is indeed a robbery." ”

"But what I mean by 'robbing' is not the same as 'robbing' as you understand it."

"I am robbing the rich and helping the poor!" (End of chapter)
