Chapter 287: Reform
Yu Zizhen doesn't care what other people think, the person she likes is finally willing to put aside all her worries and be with her, of course she has to seize the opportunity.
This is the only person she has ever been tempted by in her two lives, and it is rare that this person is also tempted by her, and she will hesitate and procrastinate when she is stupid.
The others had complicated thoughts, but Xiao Yuanjin was shy and couldn't raise his head, only Yu Zizhen, who was happy, and the smile on his face didn't go down all day.
After the wedding of Yu Zizhen and Xiao Yuanjin, Yu Zizhen began her official road of governance.
According to what she agreed with several important ministers before she ascended the throne, when Yu Zizhen was in power, she only thought about how to improve people's livelihood.
It is necessary to pay light taxes, unreasonable laws must also be revised, and land reform is even more imperative.
In addition, Yu Zizhen also needs to improve the country's education and medical level, improve the speed of information dissemination, open up trade routes, build water conservancy, and introduce favorable policies to promote the development of all walks of life. It's a lot of confusion.
In order to speed up the progress, Yu Zizhen decisively assigned some daily affairs to her freshly baked imperial (bitter) husband (force) Xiao Yuanjin.
As for herself, she is much busier than Xiao Yuanjin, in order to open up business routes, she has been exchanging information with the little milk sound system one after another these days.
She has to read the exchange information, and after reading it, she has to analyze it with the small milk sound system, and strive to pick out a few relatively safe trade routes, so that she can trade with neighboring countries.
Whether this trade makes money or not is still secondary, Yu Zizhen mainly wants to enrich the crop varieties of China little by little by opening up trade routes.
What kind of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other high-yielding crops, she wants to get some back to cultivate.
There are too many things to do, too few people can be used, Yu Zizhen is busy every day and even dreams about how to better develop agriculture and economy, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, and live a relatively stable and happy life.
She's already busy like this, let alone the important ministers under her command.
You must know that Yu Zizhen is only responsible for determining the general direction and providing relevant information, and the specific planning, implementation, supervision, acceptance, feedback and improvement are all responsible for her henchmen.
Everyone is racing one by one like spinning tops, but some people who enjoy wealth and leisure, which are so leisurely that people are jealous, have no interest in rushing to trouble them when they are busy.
The first to make trouble for them was the eldest princess Xiao Yuanjiu's biological mother Zhang Meiren, when Lu Tong launched the palace change, this lucky one was not in the palace, she was sent to the temple by the then queen Xiao Lu to pray for the then queen mother Da Lu.
When Yu Zizhen left Beijing, the eldest princess did not leave with the private soldiers she sent, but went to her biological mother Zhang Meiren, and watched her stay in the temple honestly, so as not to cause any trouble on her whims.
Zhang Meiren is a strange character who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and she is quite honest in front of the queen, the powerful palace people and even the vast majority of monks and nuns, but in front of the eldest princess, she is very good at messing around.
Since Yu Zizhen returned to Beijing, Zhang Meiren's heart has been like weeds, she has been persecuting the eldest princess almost every day, forcing her to have a friendship with Yu Zizhen and ask for benefits.
Princess Celestia disagreed, and let people look at her openly and secretly.
Zhang Mei was so angry that the mother and daughter quarreled and fought countless times because of this, but no matter how she coerced and seduced, the eldest princess never refused to step out of Huangjue Temple in person or let her go.
The eldest princess who couldn't help but eat the scales and had an iron heart, Zhang Meiren was angry, but she could only find another way to find a helper among the palace people, monks and nuns who were in charge of staring at her in a luring way.
Not to mention, Zhang Meiren did a smart thing this time.
Those palace people who came to Huangjue Temple with her in the name of praying for blessings, who is willing to continue to stay in Huangjue Temple to survive?
There are also those monks of Huangjue Temple, as one of the members of the Daqi Royal Temple, their current situation is actually very embarrassing.
In particular, Yu Zizhen, the current emperor, did not give some privileges to the likes of Buddhism and Taoism like the rulers of the previous dynasty at all.
In Daqi, temples, nunnery, and Taoist temples not only do not have to pay taxes, but also do not have to serve conscription and military service, but are also treated preferentially in the law. The law of Daqi clearly stipulates that monks, nuns, and Taoist priests are crowned with a reduced ransom if they are guilty.
And here in Yu Zizhen, no one, as long as they live under her rule, should not want to engage in privilege for her.
She advocates that the law is above all else, not to mention the female crown of monks, nuns, and Taoists, even if they are honored for meritorious service, she will not give them other privileges in addition to the Danshu iron coupon.
The most important thing is that she has not issued a Danshu iron coupon to any of the heroes so far.
Of course, this is not because Yu Zizhen picks on the door and she doesn't send it, mainly because no one under her command is eligible for this thing.
As a powerful monarch with her own plug-in, Yu Zizhen's important battles during the founding of the country, even if she did not personally participate in the battle, were definitely her contribution to the excellent strategy and secret weapon, and then everyone could use various unexpected ways to quickly take it down with minimal casualties.
In addition, before the war began, she made all kinds of preparations, and laid a solid foundation for the founding of the country by herself.
If the total contribution of her courtiers to the founding of the country is 2, then the contribution of her monarch to the founding of the country can not be 1.
There are so many of them who share a 2, but she can monopolize the entire 1, but who dares to be proud in front of her if she has a little success in her heart?
These people don't dare to be proud of their achievements, how can those monks who have not contributed anything to Yu Zizhen dare to sing against her when Yu Zizhen's momentum is at its peak?
Yu Zizhen issued a policy to encourage monks to return to the world, and ordered temples, nunnery, and Taoist temples in various places not to do anything to obstruct them for any reason, and they silently endured it.
Yu Zizhen asked the temples, nunnery, and Taoist temples in various places to become a member of the tax-paying army in accordance with the revised laws of Huaguo, and asked them, like others, if they were not willing to serve conscription and military service, they would directly follow the corresponding standards and give food and silver money to redeem them.
Yu Zizhen asked them to abide by the law, and if they broke the law, they would no longer be allowed to rely on the status of "monks" to redeem, although they were not very happy, but they thought that they had ceded greater interests before, so in the end they endured it silently.
