Chapter 531: Winter is coming
As for the six hundred cities other than Wushuang, in fact, no one can completely control them, which was actually equal to the fiefdoms of all clans in the past. If there is a fief, there is the concept of a lord, and from the big one, the rights of the lord are sacred, and they are only a small number of royal powers.
Since the time of Changkong Fei, she has done a lot of things, not only to establish the concept of the state, but also to establish the concept of the so-called "province" after having the concept of the country. That is, the male lord of a secular dynasty in the mouth of Miss Bao, from the feudal lord system to the transition of the county system, which represents a concentration of royal power and further weakens the clan power.
His Royal Highness Changkong Fei has indeed done a lot, and it has not caused too many problems and conflicts, and there is a province. However, in the end, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the bad climate of Jialan, the traditional system, and the inability to easily introduce foreign people, so that the provinces are still mostly inhabited by people of various ethnic groups, and it is still a kind of fief in disguise. The advantage is only that it has become the royal land from the "legal point of view", and it is not the private land of various tribes.
The biggest difference between a fief and a royal land is that the fief is the lord's, and the lord manages it himself, and then pays a protection fee to the royal palace. And the royal land, which belongs to the royal palace, is entrusted to the governor of the province to manage, so that the province takes a part of it as a reward, and the rest is the treasury of Wushuang.
Then the king's land is full of royal ministers, and after having this concept, it means that theoretically, the royal palace can intervene in the affairs of the province, but in fact, this is also a disguised interference in clan affairs.
Of course, the theory is so, but Miss Bao has commented in private, it is impossible to do it in one step, there is a process in any matter, and when the royal power interferes with the province, it needs to have a degree, find a balance, and cannot be blindly forced. Therefore, the appointment of the prime minister is the top priority.
Miss Bao once said that many times who is appointed is a prime minister, which directly reflects the mentality of Changkong Fei at that time. The reason for appointing Wei Wuya as Zhongcheng is because when it comes to influence, the Wei clan has the greatest prestige among various ethnic groups, and it is impossible for the weak to set rules and stipulate that the strongest people can formulate them, so that there will be less opposition among the remaining people, and they can be implemented.
Therefore, Wei Wuya's only role is to coordinate all parties, which means that Changkong Fei is benevolent and tries not to use force to solve affairs.
The appointment of Mu Rifeng as the Minister of the Interior, firstly, because the Mu clan has strong financial resources, can help the palace solve some special affairs to a certain extent, and at the same time, Mu Rifeng is a corrupt official, since he is a corrupt official, he can balance with the following provinces in a special way, so as not to give birth to a big mess.
Therefore, the appointment of Mu Rifeng shows that Changkong Fei is merciful and willing to compromise and tolerate some, otherwise there is still a way to solve provincial affairs.
According to Miss Bao's evaluation, the deficit of the provincial treasury is the norm, with the prestige of His Royal Highness Changkong Fei at that time, if he is willing to investigate and cut off 100,000 to 200,000 heads, it is not impossible to rectify the law.
However, His Royal Highness Changkong Fei was unwilling to be disgusted, so as not to damage the virtues of heaven. Then there is no need for force, there is only pacification and buffer, so Mu Rifeng is out of the picture, and there is an explanation.
Huang Zhongchang came out because of the reputation of the Huang family, which can be relatively convincing to the public, and it also reflects that His Royal Highness Changkong Fei has compromises, but he is unwilling to let the tumor of Wushuang expand indefinitely, and he is unwilling to abandon the law, so that the people of the major forces occupy all official positions as if they were trading, so Huang Zhongchang can step onto the stage of power and pinch the opening of the arbitrary appointment of officials.
In short, there are important reasons behind the appointment of each Xiangye, according to Miss Bao's explanation. Starting from Mu Rifeng's resignation, and then Zhang Ye guarded the north, Miss Bao felt that His Royal Highness had seen the road behind and knew that the catastrophe was imminent, and the national war was imminent.
In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Bao talked eloquently: "His Royal Highness's various actions are actually equivalent to paving the way for the Prime Minister to take charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the end." The fierce national war, the catastrophe of heaven and earth, is not far away. ”
Zhang Ye said: "Even if you want to fight a big war, what does it have to do with my tenure as prime minister?"
Miss Bao said: "Of course it matters, who is used as the prime minister represents the national policy." Xiang Gong has always been a ruthless character, and if you become the prime minister, it is equivalent to the last will of His Royal Highness Changkong Fei: purge, anti-corruption, reserves, power, cold winter is coming, and we will go to the national disaster together. ”
Zhang Ye didn't have time to respond, and someone outside said loudly: "Lord Neitai has arrived." ”
When Julie walked in quickly, her attitude was completely subverted, different from the past. She knelt down respectfully and said, "Xiaguan Julie, see the night phase." ”
"Get up. Zhang Ye hurriedly lifted this sturdy beauty up.
Miss Bao didn't say anything, but summoned Bao, and rode away on the big bird, "Xianggong is busy, I'm going to play, if there is anything undecided, Lord Julie can help you." ”
After Miss Bao left, a large group of people came in, and they all knelt down and said, "See Xiangye." ”
Zhang Ye was stunned and said, "Who are you, who let you flow in." ”
Julie almost fainted when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "They are my people, and the account books in each of their hands are the wealth of the peerless family, and I specially brought them here to prepare you to understand the treasury." ”
Zhang Ye even had a headache in the face of the account books of the Beiyan clan, and when he saw that these were basically about to hit the street, he immediately waved his hand and said, "These are in charge of you, I just asked." ”
Seeing that he trusted himself so aggressively, Julie was also quite happy, but she also asked, "Then why did you call me here?"
Zhang Ye said: "You only tell me that the treasury in your hand can support our great matchless, how big a battle will it be?"
Julie's beautiful face twitched, and after a long time, she shook her head and said, "No." ”
"What!" Zhang Ye immediately jumped up, walked down three steps and glared at Julie.
Julie has never been afraid of him, but she also said with a sense of guilt: "I haven't done a good job in this accounting room, I'm sorry Xiangye, our treasury is not only out of money, but also owes a huge amount of national debt." ”
Zhang Ye almost fainted when he heard this, and shouted: "I have countless spiritual fields, countless ore veins, the mall has created a trade myth, and there are six hundred cities under my jurisdiction, where did all this money go?"
Julie said: "The income of Lingcheng, Xiangye used to be in charge of Lingcheng, you know better than me." Before you reformed the planting method, Lingcheng's income seemed to be a lot, but it was nothing to Wushuang with hundreds of millions of ministers. Of course, after Xiangye entered the Lingcheng reform, there has been a great change, this is the reason why His Royal Highness loves you, and it is also the reason why I chased you like a mad dog back then, and paid your treasury. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ye's complexion softened slightly, and he nodded: "I blamed you before, and I apologize to you now." ”
Julie looked at him strangely and said, "Between us...... Do you need to be so outward?"
At this time, someone suddenly came in and knelt down and said, "Xiangye, someone asks to see you." ”
Zhang Ye said angrily: "The prime minister said a long time ago, no one will see you, get out of me!"
"She, she's ...... Your wife who has not passed through the door, Mu Zhaojun. "The subordinate is submissive.
