Five hundred and fortieth chapters vomiting blood
The atmosphere in the Military Aircraft Department has always been very good. Everyone here is talented, and their words are measured and pleasant. The emperor likes it here very much.
Young man, if he made a mistake, no one would blame him.
Moreover, they are just the secretaries of the seventh rank. They usually just follow orders, but they cannot implement them even if they discuss them.
However, in the political affairs hall, it was different. The prime ministers all spoke righteously and followed the rules. They had to consider a sentence over and over again. Li Jia often thought about it for a long time before Li Jia understood the meaning.
They are all a bunch of old foxes.
Li Jia was in a rather cheerful mood. He knew how to write about military affairs, which was very good.
The Secretary-General of the Military Aircraft Department is here to look at talents so as to prepare for the renewal of the imperial court. Only when the base of good talents is large can they be deployed in the future.
Li Jia didn't know much about politics in his previous life. He only read a few novels, a few history books, and some miscellaneous books. He actually didn't understand the governance of the country.
Especially in this ancient time, during the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, the ideas of modern people are not clear.
For example, if you carry out a reform, the simplest way is to abolish the oral calculation, that is, the Ding tax. Even if you explain it in detail and clearly, the local government will still act in disorder. They know what to do, but they still can't control themselves.
I have to make a fortune with my hands.
The investigation by the Sound Department clearly revealed that there are still some places where Ding tax is still being levied. The local transit envoys colluded with local officials to increase the Ding tax from 21 to 5, and the court did not get a penny.
The behavior is extremely bad.
It can be seen that before a policy is released, there must be a clarification of official governance. In the final analysis, China has been ruled by people for thousands of years.
When Shang Yang carried out reforms, he started by dividing county governments and personally selecting county magistrates to serve. After political reforms, he carried out economic reforms.
Wang Anshi's reform was mainly about economic reform. Officials changed the name but not the medicine. They changed several names and merged institutions. How could this be successful?
Zhang Juzheng is even more amusing. He is just restoring the old system of the Hongwu and Yongle periods. That's it, people will be gone after death.
So, why do you think Zhu Yuanzhang went on a killing spree against officials? This group of corrupt officials inherited from the former Yuan Dynasty had no choice but to kill them and replace them with Jinshi every year.
Being an emperor must have a certain balance.
Moreover, officials who are close to the people must be paid attention to. Bailihou like the county magistrate must be carefully reviewed.
"Report, Your Majesty, please send an urgent letter to the Secretary!" At this time, a guard broke in and shouted loudly.
"Bring it here!" Others were extremely unhappy. This was destroying their relationship with the emperor. If they were delayed for even one minute, they would miss the chance of promotion and wealth.
Li Jia knew that the military situation was urgent, and the only one who could go straight to the military aircraft station was military reports, and they were important urgent reports about Jinling.
Others also realized it and carefully looked at the emperor's face, wondering whether they could win.
After all, we have been preparing for this victory for several months, and we cannot let it fall by the wayside!
After receiving the letter, Li Jia looked at it carefully. As time went by, his expression became more and more cheerful. In the end, he could not restrain the joy in his heart and laughed endlessly:
"Everyone, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty and thousands of people, Jinling City has been captured!!!"
Hearing the emperor's words, everyone instantly beamed with joy.
As the prime minister, Wang Ning just smiled reservedly, his chest trembling constantly.
The secretaries in charge were all cheering for joy, completely losing their etiquette in front of the emperor, and their faces turned red.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!!!" It's no wonder they were so disrespectful, mainly because the news was too shocking.
As soon as Jinling was reached, the Southern Tang Dynasty became a thing in the palm of one's hand. Then, with most of the south in one's hands, could Wu and Yue be far behind?
The situation of North-South confrontation will become a reality.
Soon, the news came to the political hall, and several ministers were fully aware of it.
"It's been like this a long time ago!" As the Prime Minister, Cui Quan has always been scheming and indifferent to emotions and anger, but at this time, his face was shocked and somewhat disbelieving.
But Zhao Cheng and Sun Zhao were overjoyed and couldn't hold it in anymore: "I'll go to the military aircraft office to have a look!"
"How can you be so impatient as a prime minister?" Cui Quan shook his head, sighed, then stood up calmly, sorted out some memorials, and followed him away.
This piece of good news spread quickly, as if it had grown legs, and the entire Changsha Prefecture was in an uproar.
"Hahaha, there is only one Tang Dynasty in this world!!"
"Once the puppet country was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty was revived!"
The common people half understood it, but it was an indisputable fact that the emperor destroyed another country and won the battle.
What they are happy about is not the destruction of the country, but victory. The price of food will not rise, and the price of salt will not rise either. This is gratifying.
After a sip of wine and a few words, the tea stall and tavern were packed with people.
"The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely prosperous and the output is extremely large. Our business can become bigger again!"
"It seems that Jiangxi's tax cards have also been reduced, but I don't know what happened to the water thieves?"
The merchants were talking a lot. They couldn't help but salivate over such a huge market in Jiangnan. It was extremely important.
"Hahaha, my son-in-law conquered another country, it is my son-in-law's place in the world!" When Zhou Xingwu heard the news, he couldn't help but beam with joy. He waved his arms and jumped around, quite like a monkey, which was very funny.
"Go, bring something to the palace, donate it to the queen, sprinkle a few hundred coins, go to the Buddhist temple to hold a few rituals, and pray for the prince and the queen!"
Zhou Xingwu was very happy and even more generous with his money. The Zhou family ruled Hunan for many years and left power honorably, accumulating countless wealth.
The printing office of the newspaper.
"Quick, print another batch of Di newspapers this issue!" The official in charge of reviewing the manuscripts at the Di newspaper institute was sweating anxiously. We need to hurry up to get the news that just came out, but we can't afford to delay it.
"Master, there is no need to rush. If there is a typo, I cannot bear the responsibility. I would rather be slower than make a mistake!"
The master who was doing the text typesetting slowly moved the bronze characters in his hand and spoke softly.
Block printing could no longer keep up with the printing frequency of Di Bao, so movable type came out. Since Di Bao Yuan had abundant money, it was natural that it could afford bronze type.
"This is a big deal. At least 10,000 copies need to be printed. No, 50,000 copies. Each copy costs ten dollars, which means five hundred thousand..."
Jinling was defeated, and such important news was published, which would definitely make Di Bao famous and make a lot of money.
Lin Renzhao, who was hurrying and hurrying, finally got rid of his pursuers after paying the price of thousands of deaths, and arrived at Qianzhou, where he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Pfft-" However, perhaps bad news spread quickly, but in just two days, Jinling was captured. Lin Renzhao was so angry that he vomited blood.
