Emperor Jiaqing sat down on the dragon chair dejectedly, the information in the light curtain was too terrifying, the national fortune of the Qing Empire was only a hundred years, and then the master of the country was changed, after all, it was still the Han people who were in power, and said in a hoarse voice, "Liu Yong, you come to tell me, is it true that the Qing Dynasty's country has really reached such a point, and the imperial court has been corrupted to the root." ”

"This~" Liu Yong is over eighty years old at the moment, upright, law-abiding, honest and honest, his father Liu Tongxun is a generation of famous ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty, his grandfather once served as a political envoy in Sichuan, and his great-grandfather was a Jinshi during the Shunzhi period. Liu Yong grew up in a famous prime minister's house, and his family members have been officials for generations, which can be said to be a family education and has received a good education since childhood.

He had just been named the crown prince and was ordered to handle the case of Wenhua Dian's scholar and Shenzhi party's private and unauthorized bribery.

Emperor Jiaqing frowned, "What, you still want to deceive me with lies?"

"Then forgive the minister's bluntness~" Liu Yong saw that he couldn't hide, organized the language in his mind, paused, and continued, "Nowadays, the Manchu dynasty is up and down, and most of them are officials and elders, and they are shameful and degenerate, and goods and profits are trending. The prefect of the county gave generous gifts to the prefect, and the prefect flattered the prefect, and the upper and lower ministers were blinded and protected, acting recklessly, and doing many illegal things, which is the norm. ”

"But~" Speaking of this, Liu Yong looked at He Shen who was the tiger head, "These officials have more or less been under the door of Lord He before, and Lord He knows this matter best." Although he was old, he was as light and healthy as ever, his eyes were blazing, the cold light was terrifying, and there was naturally a pressure of human beings between his words.

He Shen suddenly laughed, this old man Liu, and kicked the ball back to him as soon as he spoke. "The things of the previous life are already clouds and smoke, and a certain income is all in the treasury, so why bother to pursue it. It's just that he has been an official for 30 years, and he still has some experience in corruption. ”

"Oh?" Suddenly, the monarchs and ministers in the palace became interested in He Shen himself for provoking this topic.

"I know that a certain provincial political envoy undertook the secretary, but a small clerk, in a few years, he embezzled a full 300,000 taels of silver, after the incident, he privately begged to my house, offered 200,000 taels, I let him live, and transferred him elsewhere. ”

Jiaqing straightened up and became nervous, "How did this person embezzle? A small clerk actually embezzled as much as a lot of silver taels?" In his opinion, if a small clerk in a province can embezzle so much money, then the yamen of the provinces are all holes, and the supervision mechanism is useless, not to mention the hard-hit areas such as salt roads and rivers.

"Very simply, he privately engraved a complete set of official seals of the political envoys to participate in politics, senate, experience, take care of the grinding, reason, treasury envoys, and warehouse envoys until the inspection of the school, and when needed, aim at the opportunity, forge documents, arbitrarily collect and spend, and fill his own pockets, and that's it. ”

He Shen's words made the monarch sweat like rain, a small clerk privately engraved the official seal, forged documents, and even deceived the officials of a province, and the central court did not know about it, which shows how rotten the local officials are, if it were not for He Shen today, no one in the Manchu Dynasty would know about it.

"In addition, since the first year of Jiaqing, the Yellow River has broken almost every year, and every year the imperial court has allocated nearly a quarter of the treasury revenue in the first year to the huge amount of funds for governance, but it has achieved little effect, why is this?"

When Emperor Jiaqing heard He Shen's words, he was almost enchanted, and asked through gritted teeth, "Why?

He Shen didn't care about Emperor Jiaqing's attitude, in his opinion, the Qing Empire must use fierce medicine.

"Because most of the silver taels you have allocated have fallen into the pockets of these officials, they can openly drink and sing in the river governor's yamen, and a table of wine and banquet will cost a thousand taels. As for the important river control project, it is to cut corners everywhere, and the place where granite and material should be used is mixed with a large amount of sand. Where the straw stack should be filled with stones, the straw stack was built, but the stones were not put into it at all. As soon as the flood comes, it will break everywhere, since it is decided every year, then it will be repaired every year, so that they can make a fortune~"

Emperor Jiaqing yelled at several ministers, "Is this really the case? My money was so greedy by them in vain? It was my hundreds of millions of people who suffered?!" He kicked like an ox, and couldn't help kicking the incense burner next to him, and suddenly the incense burner turned over, and the incense ashes were scattered in the starry sky and disappeared, leaving the incense burner in place. At this moment, a eunuch immediately came over to help support the emperor's chest, and Emperor Jiaqing slowly calmed down.

Several ministers looked at each other, and then nodded secretly, don't make trouble, now you are under the fence, you must bow your head.

He Shen got out of the cage, how could he care about this, "The imperial court has 60 million taels of silver in the treasury a year, do you know that the taxes paid by the common people are double that of it? Why has the White Lotus Sect not been extinguished for a long time?

"How did you do this?!" Jiaqing heard a big news again, his body and the palace, the world's major events rely on the paper, and the people's livelihood and everything depends on the ministers, what others say, what he listens to, how does he know the real situation?

"Without him, silver and copper are cheap, and officials are rampant in corruption, and all this money is taken into their private pockets, resulting in less and less silver circulating in the market. He Shen paused, "However, this silver can't reach the hands of the people, and most of them still use copper coins." In the early days of the first emperor, 1 tael of silver could be exchanged for 700 copper coins, but now, 1 tael of silver can be exchanged for 1,500 copper coins. But the taxes paid by the people are calculated according to silver, and the amount remains the same, which means that the people need to spend nearly twice their income to pay the taxes.

"My world ~ my people ~" Emperor Jiaqing heard this, and he was already a little tearful.

"So, the real person shows that it must be reformed!" He Shen said here, and only then did he say his purpose.

"How to change, how to change, and move the whole body, it's difficult!" Ji Xiaolan touched his beard.

He Shen smiled and turned back into a human body, and suddenly the Jinluan Palace returned to the Forbidden City, and the original palace walls and golden tiles were back, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace felt much safer.

"This matter needs to be explained in detail~ That day, I was in the galaxy outside the sky, and I rode the Tianhe River on a giant ship......" He Shen understood people's hearts, he pulled and dragged these monarchs and ministers, and even scared and coaxed, and finally made them realize the crisis of the country's destruction, so that their plans could take advantage of the void. There's no way, who calls himself a Manchurian, the Qing Empire is a Manchurian, if you can't do a good job, I'm afraid that the Jianyu of the Earth Nu Xingjun World will be an example for the Manchus of the Qing Empire.

As He Shen slowly elaborated, the monarch and the ministers understood what the Earth Prisoner Xingjun was talking about and what the unity of the Three Realms meant.

One is the Chongzhen Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty one hundred and fifty years ago, when the country was shaken, and the great eunuch Wang Chengen of the dynasty was loyal and was named the Emperor of the Earth Slave Xingjun; The Ming Dynasty doesn't have to think about it, think about it with your ass and know that the people over there can't wait to swallow themselves alive, and there is still a little hope for future generations.

"On the side of Dizhuang Xingjun, how many people are there in our Manchurians? How many Han people are there?" Emperor Jiaqing asked a real question, once the Three Realms are opened, there will be a large number of Han people pouring into other realms, and it is too much to say that he can only enter and exit here.

How could He Shen not know the careful thoughts of the Qing Emperor, "Dizhuang Xingjun said that at this moment, he has a population of 10 million, a Han population of 1.3 billion, and the rest of the 54 ethnic groups, large and small, with a population of about 90 million, and a national population of more than 1.4 billion. ”

"Hiss~" Emperor Jiaqing gasped, when the Eight Banners entered the customs, they were incorporated into the Mongolian and Han armies, and the three clans together were only worth a million people, and now the number of Han people under his rule has exceeded 300 million, and I can't imagine that the population will be so much more in two hundred years.

"Can you send some landless rebels to take some Manchu and Han businessmen over to develop?" Jiaqing said quietly, his idea of governing the country was still at a very low level.

"Come here, come here, keep that ugly tail, are you a fool for someone else?" He Shen said sarcastically. "If you want to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, you must first remove the hair-cutting order, so as to attract talents to come and work for the imperial court. ”

Only then did everyone notice that He Shen had already abandoned the manchurian money rat tail, his head was full of black hair, coiled high, and there was a hosta, they thought that this was a must for the cultivation of the Immortal Dao, it seems that things are far from so simple.

In fact, in the late Qianlong Dynasty, the people had already thickened and lengthened the ugly money rattail in private, and the local government did not stop it, and it was quite suspected of letting it go. Nowadays, the folk hairstyle is already as thick as a pig's tail, and in another hundred years, it will evolve into a half-shaved and half-retained oxtail hairstyle, which is still ridiculed in the history of foreign bullying.

"The law of the ancestors is immutable~" Emperor Jiaqing said weakly.

"Immutable? The Qing Dynasty has come to the present, and the problems encountered have never been seen before, can the Chinese dynasties have such a large land? Can there be such a large population? Later generations have already had a solution, why not use it? The ancestors have become immortals if they have not changed the law?" He Shen said sharply. He understands what kind of person Jiaqing is, and he also knows why he has become what he is now, everything is because of Qianlong.

Jiaqing is the successor elected by Qianlong, and as the successor, the most important point is "safety first".

The tragedy of the Tang Dynasty's seizure of the throne is well known, and it is clearly written in the history books.

And Emperor Qianlong himself was a suspicious person, and Jiaqing's two brothers died because of this.

First of all, the eldest brother Yonghuang, because of his age, and not smart enough, after the early death of Qianlong's sister-in-law, he did not show enough grief, so Emperor Qianlong denounced it as "plotting for a big position" and "gloating", so he was overly worried and died of a serious illness at the age of twenty-three.

Although he scared his eldest son to death with one sentence, Qianlong also felt guilty, but his determination to prevent the emperor's sons and grandsons from peeping into the emperor's power was not eliminated because of this.

In the forty-first year of Qianlong, he learned that his very beloved emperor Sun Miande and a Beijing official exchanged gifts, and he immediately cut off the prince of Miande and punished him to guard the Tailing. In July of the same year, a small Shanxi official sent a letter to the fourth elder brother who had gone out and was executed by Ling Chi, and the fourth elder brother also carried a black pot because of this, and died of fear a few months later.

In this way, Emperor Qianlong continued to prove to everyone through tough actions that any crooked ways and conspiracies were self-defeating.

For a successor, it is more important not to make a mistake than to do a hundred things right. The tragic fate of countless princes in history reminds Jiaqing that he must grind out any anger in his temper and restrain any wayward impulses in his character.

The long career of "successor" has caused irreversible damage to Emperor Jiaqing's character. In more than 20 years of storage career, Emperor Jiaqing has developed a stable and comprehensive character in everything, and his creed is to put safety first, not make mistakes, and not keep braids. The style of life is mediocre and peaceful, not new, not innovative, and not out of line. In other words, always look ahead and be afraid of wolves and tigers.

Any slightest disturbance in the political arena will make Emperor Jiaqing nervous for a long time, and Emperor Jiaqing will consider and weigh the attitude of any political force. "Steady", Emperor Jiaqing thinks that it is his greatest strength, and in fact it is also his heaviest shackle.

"Do you believe it or not? If you don't reform today, a month later, the Three Realms will be one, and if the development of this world is left far behind by other worlds, maybe the immortals will personally take action and destroy the entire Manchu clan of the Qing Dynasty?! Even now, I am sure that I will shoot it myself~" He Shen dropped the last bombshell, which injured Emperor Jiaqing.

"You, you traitor to the Qing Dynasty!" Emperor Jiaqing stretched out his finger and pointed at He Shen in the hall, he didn't dare to try, he didn't dare to say, he knew in his heart that even if he didn't care about anything else, just relying on the immortal skills shown by He Shen before, not to mention killing others, it was more than enough to kill the monarch on the spot.

"Lord He is presumptuous!" Ji Xiaolan was so smart that he could see that He Shen was coercing Emperor Jiaqing to reform, and if he didn't reform, the Manchus would have to finish playing, which was a good thing for the Han people anyway, and indirectly showed that the life of the new prisoner Xingjun was not easy. It's not easy! Everyone has to discuss!

"Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and the Lord has been in charge of the Military Aircraft Department for 20 years, how can it be compared with the eunuchs and ordinary people, please rest assured. If you are born here, you will definitely not let your hometown suffer, I think, I am right, right?" Ji Xiaolan looked at He Shen with a smile, looking confident.

It's no wonder that when He Shen went to the palace just now, a few axes came at once, and the monarchs and ministers present were panicked, and then I remembered that the Lord He Shen in front of him was not good at stubble, if it weren't for the death of the first emperor, as the leader and minister, he was trapped in the palace, and the monarchs and ministers took him off guard, and everyone really had no way to take him.

This person has always been a plan and then move, everywhere for the camp, cautious, although flattering, but this business and talent are the best choice since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Thinking of this, Emperor Jiaqing's face changed for the better, and he bowed to He Shen, "Please also ask Xingjun not to give up on my people of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Alas~ If I really want to give up, I won't come to the Forbidden City, just pick up my family directly. I was born here, and if this place is divided and disintegrated by other realms, then won't I become a loner?" He Shen smiled, "To tell you the truth, if a real person wants to seal the seventy-two Earth Demon Star Monarchs, and then the seventy-two different worlds will all be connected, you can't imagine this kind of scene. We don't take the lead at the beginning, but we are afraid that we will become someone else's fish later. ”

"What does Xingjun mean~" Emperor Jiaqing has slowly accepted the immortal statement, since it can't be changed, then accept it calmly, anyway, it's not my fault, I just obey the will of heaven.

"My family was entrusted with an important task by the door, and the supreme master gave the immortal family exercises 8,000 pieces, all kinds of classics, 200,000 scriptures, and wanted to establish a branch of the immortal gate outside the sky, as long as you behave well, you can also be recommended by me to be honored in the immortal gate and practice the immortal law. ”

"Moreover, since I am ranked among the Earth Prisoner Star Monarchs, of course, I also have some supernatural powers that others can't match, I will teach the Dharma disciples here for 3,000 disciples, glorify the master's sect, make people's hearts turn from evil to good, the world is naturally peaceful, and the foundation of the world can be opened. ”

The news that came one after another made the monarchs and ministers in the palace dizzy, and He Shen actually said that he would teach the world immortal law and spread the law to the world, so shocked that Emperor Jiaqing couldn't care about it a lot, and stood up suddenly, "I don't know what kind of immortal art Xingjun can transmit?"

He Shen smiled, "How about turning mud into stone and turning stones into gold?"

Suddenly everyone was stunned.

These two kinds of immortal arts are very famous, and it is said that the Tang Dynasty immortal Lu Dongbin will do this immortal technique, and I can't imagine that the adults will also pass on this kind of immortal law, and the world will not be greatly changed? Everyone felt it, a general trend rushed to the face, and it was unstoppable, and the rebels were only afraid that they would be mantis arms as a car, and they would die on the spot.

What will become of this world?
