"Just sent away?"

When the captain Hao, who was born in Jinwuwei, sent all the bone strength away, Li Xu asked again.

"Huh?" Li Shen couldn't react a little, could it be that the emperor still wanted to see how he asked for bribes.

"Mink and otter skins are expensive right now. Li Xu said: "You don't want to give it to me." ”

Looking at the crying and laughing expression on Li Shen's face, Li Xu understood that his subordinate couldn't keep up with his work ideas.

"I've always been shameless in asking for money. ”

Li Shen nodded, pretending not to hear it.

"I heard that you have been living a good life lately, and you have a lot of money, have you ever thought about bringing your wife and children to the capital?"

"That's not true, they are still in their hometown in Wuxi, and a few days ago I wrote a trust to Lu Xiang to help me take care of them more. ”

"You're afraid of something happening to you at home now, right?"

Li Xu knew that Li Shen was living a luxurious life now, and bought a big mansion, which also raised all kinds of concubines with fat and thin concubines, and had nothing to do to hold a literary meeting or something, the fragrance of books and powder incense melted into one furnace, ink marks and eyebrows danced together, and the young man was ambitious, and his life was much happier than his own.

There are often ministers who impeach him for corruption, but Li Xu never takes it to heart, because Li Shen's money was originally given to him by himself. It is my consistent belief that you will benefit as much as you risk. Li Shen is now not only using himself as a knife in the court, but also all kinds of halls in Bai Yujing, and all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, are all stared at by him, risking great pressure and risk.

It's too unfair for such a good cadre who dares to take risks and is willing to take the blame for letting him eat bran vegetables.

"In a few days, Yuan Zhi and Li Deyu will come back, let's go to your place to get together. Li Xu thought for a while and then said: "Lu Zhen will return to the court soon, and let your wife come with you when the time comes." ”

"Is Lu Zhen going back to the court?" Li Shen looked at the emperor. After the fall of Cheng Qili, the emperor had the final power in the imperial court. Han Gang and Pei Du have both made mistakes, and it is the right time to introduce others into the political hall at this time.

Although Lu Zhen was driven to western Zhejiang, although it was said that it was done by the Wen Party, after all, there was still the shadow of Han Gang's faction fueling the troubles, although in the end Han Gang left Lu Zhen a little dignity, but it is difficult to say what kind of actions this Lu Xiang will make after returning to the dynasty.

"Come back and continue to be his Chinese scholar. The emperor held his chin in his right hand, not knowing what he was thinking: "After a while, Li Linfu will also come back and serve as the right servant of Shangshu." ”

The Zhongshu Order of Zhongshu Province is Han Gang, the left servant of Shangshu Province is Pei Du, and Lu Zhen and Li Jifu enter the political hall to serve as the chief executive, which will naturally divide the power of these two people, and will also improve the operational efficiency of the political affairs hall.

"What about Victoria?" Li Shen thought of Victoria, which made the emperor and Cheng Qili completely turn their faces, Lu Zhen and Li Jifu entered the court at one point, and the vacated positions of the observer envoy of western Zhejiang and the envoy of Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu, who was the emperor going to fill in. As for Li Jifu, if he leaves office, who should preside over Victoria's affairs anyway?

Li Jifu will not move for a while, and wait until the end of Victoria's life is over. Li Xu raised his head.

Looking back now, my handling of the Victorian affairs was indeed a bit hasty, but the wood is already in the boat, and after all, I still have to wait for Li Jifu to deal with it there. As for who will be in charge of the Jiannan and Sichuan West Jiedu envoys, Li Xu's heart belongs to Li Congxian.

Yizhou is originally the country of abundance with fertile fields and thousands of miles, and the handicraft industry is very developed, and it is known as "Yang Yi Yi Two", and Shu Jinchuan tea is famous all over the world.

Among the ministers of the DPRK and China, their loyalty has really been tested, and their titles are appropriate, and only Li Congxian and Han Rui are enough to serve as envoys to the festival. Han Rui is now the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, and when the Shence Army is over, he will let Li Congxian serve as the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival, so that from Sichuan to Guanzhong will be faintly connected, and they are all ministers that they can trust, and they can be regarded as laying a back road.

As for western Zhejiang, according to Liu Ziyue, although the current Jiangnan is rich, it is actually a powder keg that is about to explode.

However, these thoughts are not suitable for Li Shen to say.

"There are a lot of voices in Beijing now," Li Shen said, adding that one of the important tasks of the prison envoy was to detect public opinion and then report it to the emperor. Although everyone didn't say anything and didn't dare to participate in the impeachment, most people were dissatisfied with Li Jifu. ”

After all, the recovery of Victoria actually harmed the interests of the vast majority of court officials, so that their fields and family properties may suffer losses due to the conflict with Tibet, and now although the hundred officials dare not speak out because of the emperor's obscenity, their resentment against Li Jifu and his son has fallen into place.

"We can't make everybody happy, Gongzhu. If you want to do something, you will always offend people. Li Xu said: "As for those who don't understand my intentions and can't keep up with the pace of the imperial court. I didn't have the strength or the energy to convince them one by one, to explain my strategy to them, to make them understand my intentions, and I would take a big stick and knock them in the direction I wanted. ”

Li Xu remembered that the revolutionary mentor commented on Peter the Great: "He subdued Russian barbarism with his own barbarism. ”。 Today's Yu Dynasty has no barbarism that needs to be subdued by itself, but those bureaucrats who can't see the future direction, Li Xu doesn't mind using leather whips and sticks to make them run.

Li Shen nodded, he knew in his heart that the emperor was well aware of the opposition of the people below, but the reason why he had nothing to mention was to let the emperor remember the pressure on Li Jifu and Li Deyu, father and son, in order to implement the emperor's will.

Li Yuanjun wants to make great achievements in the DPRK and China in the future, and it is indispensable for these two fellow sects to help him. The real-life example bloodily reminded Li Shen that without the support of the party, the elders of the Three Dynasties such as Lu Zhen would be easily knocked down and leave the capital in disgrace.

"Mention that the prison envoy will change it in the future. Li Xu told Li Shen about his new ideas. "The structure should be changed, at least there must be four independent agencies, the first agency is responsible for the collection of various intelligence, there is no need to use any secret spies and the like, mainly the changes in the price of materials in various places, disaster weather, at least once every ten years. The network will be roughly set up in the Guanzhong area first, and then extended in all other directions. ”

"The second is responsible for accepting the people's lawsuits, no matter where the people are, as long as his case happens in Bai Yujing, they can appeal to this yamen, whether it is pots and pans, business disputes, or separate fights, they can sue this yamen. Li Xu continued: "If the judgment of the magistrate is contrary to the judgment of this yamen, the judgment of this yamen shall prevail, and I will transfer some imperial history from the imperial history platform to enrich this yamen." ”

Li Xu paused: "But as long as the people come to sue, they will have to pay the money, and if it involves a lawsuit involving a large amount of money, they will draw him half of it." ”

According to the normal logic in the past, the imperial court should love the people as children, and if the children have disputes, the parents can still collect money for justice? But when the normal truth comes to Li Xu, it will change. The intervention of any public power is not free, since the imperial court is expected to administer justice, then pay the money first.

"This ...... Something is wrong. Although Li Shen was prepared for the emperor's consistent policy of "asking for money without shame", he even had to collect money from ordinary people to fight lawsuits, which was too much.

"Also, all the contracts of their people must be stamped and approved by this yamen, otherwise they will not be regarded as evidence. To stamp, but also to pay for it. The emperor's train of thought made Li Shen stunned, when the contract signed by the two sides was not sealed, it would not count.

What surprised him even more was yet to come.

"Each county in Gyeonggi Province also has a roving imperial history of this yamen, which accepts various lawsuits. However, the common people are willing to go to the magistrates who don't want money, and they can do it. ”

The yamen set up by the emperor, in addition to making Li Shen sigh at the emperor's ability to scrape the ground, also means that the judicial power of Jingzhao Mansion is basically completely deprived of himself, and it seems that Niu Monk and Yu are out of favor with the emperor.

"Then there are those gates of Bai Yujing, aren't those gatekeepers all sent by you? You also have to let them collect taxes, and large quantities of goods entering and leaving Bai Yujing must be taxed, but the same batch of goods in Bai Yujing only needs to be paid once, and the specific amount is also half of him, and the third department is responsible for tax inspection, and whoever does not pay this commercial tax will be punished for him, and he will be closed when he should be closed, and he will be sealed when he should be sealed. Hire a few more bookkeepers and check their accounts as you like. ”

"The last one is to patrol the yamen, these thieves who are traitors and criminals in Bai Yujing, the evil young people who do nonsense, as well as those witches and gods who are gods and ghosts, and yin and yang warlocks, they will not let go of any of them. Monks and Taoists, if there is no degree, they will all be arrested, especially to check these temples and Taoist halls around Bai Yujing, bald donkeys and miscellaneous hairs are the seeds of the natural traitor department, if you catch it, you will punish me, and if you should copy it, you will confiscate it. ”

The emperor's greed for scraping gold with a Buddha face made Li Shen unable to come back to his senses for a long time, but he reluctantly wrote down the emperor's request.

"I'll ask Bai Lotian and Yuan Zhen to come and help you when I turn around. Da Yu did his best to support Bai Yujing, but it was not just for them to talk about the court and joke with the ministers, this was a cornucopia. Li Xu hated that iron could not become steel and said that the wealth of the city is much easier to make than scraping oil on the heads of small farmers, because there is already more money here than the countryside. Every day, he calculates the one-third of an acre of land for small farmers, and in the end he can only fall into the vicious circle of annexation.

"The Uighur mission is coming, and I think most of the Hu merchants in the capital are going to have a change, so you don't have to worry so much, check who didn't lend money to the imperial court, and then pick a few fat people to raid their homes, the crime is to collude with the Uighurs and believe in the demon religion. ”

Li Xu gritted his back molars and said, "Don't the Uighurs want to attach it?"
