Episode 88: Sweaty
West Garden, Qinzheng Hall.
Twenty-two adult princes and the prince attended the court meeting on April 1st, 24th year of Yuanwu.
Looking at the officials in the court who were almost completely unrecognizable, the prince still felt a lot of emotion.
I also have a deeper understanding of the seven words "The Holy Emperor is governing with his pride".
I think that those who were happy and sagely known for these seven words in the past have now regretted their intestines. What's more, they have lost their intestines, only bones...
It's also ridiculous. How could those people believe that the Holy Emperor who shakes the universe with his own strength will be at their mercy?
As far as they know, Jia Qiang has been showing up in the court less and less. Not to mention ordinary officials in Beijing, even officials of the third rank or above, it is difficult to see a few saints in a year, but this does not hinder the Tian family's control over the court, the world's borders and even the officials at all levels of the prefectures and prefectures and counties have reached an unprecedented level...
Like the crackdown on the nine major families, which eradicated countless inbreeding cases in government offices at all levels, few people dared to do it in the past dynasties.
After that, the imperial court's self-censorship, which had almost never subsided, also kept the mainstream officialdom still in a moderate and honest manner.
However, Jia Qiang still seems to be unsatisfied...
In three years, he spoke about government affairs for the first time, which naturally shocked the military officials and civil and military officials led by Yu Wanzhou:
"Any time, as long as the center has a self-pride and negligent mind, thinks that the current situation is the best, or for the sake of so-called stability, you can turn a blind eye, then it will definitely be the beginning of the downward trend, breeding corruption, and indulging the cancer to quietly erode the foundation of the dynasty!"
"The total number of officials and officials in the world who eat imperial grain has exceeded one million, and there will only be more and more in the future. If the rules and regulations are a little looser, the problems that arise below will inevitably be shocking!"
"It's not just about manipulating power, but also using power to seek personal gain. Are there any green-skinned bullies on the market? Are there many rich gentry who bully people for wealth and unkindness? Are there any brothels, gambling houses, pawn shops, cars, boats, shops, feet, teeth, and other matters involving gangs and bullying the people?"
"I believe that there will be, and there will be no small number!"
"There is one thing that I want to mention. Over the years, the three-year-old nerd boy in the market has also known the importance of science of studying things. Many radical officials even wrote to me, asking the court to abolish the imperial examination system, at least not take the articles on the eight-part classics, and all of them are replaced by the science of studying things. I did not agree because I insisted that the imperial examination can be reformed and the science of studying things can be added, but the classics cannot be deposed. Why?"
"Because the Four Books and Five Classics teach people to know etiquette, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and to teach people to be kind and understand the great way of loyalty and righteousness!"
"I have always believed that if the folk customs are not upright and the world's morals are corrupt, then even if they can be strong for a while, they will never escape the path of self-destruction!"
"My emperor's wise!"
All officials kneeled down and bowed devoutly.
The Holy Emperor did not speak for three years, and it was important to the people's livelihood. They were extremely respectful to them.
Yu Wanzhou went out and bowed and said, "I have received the words of gold and jade from the emperor. In fact, in the past few days, I have also talked about this with my colleagues at the Military Affairs Office. In the past, due to the inconvenience of transportation, the territory of Dayan was too vast, so many things were not very good. There is also a proverb among the people that a strong dragon cannot defeat a snake. But now the trains from north to south have been connected, and a thousand miles away has become a smooth road. If you mention the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is impossible to say."
When Jia Qiang heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "I can trust you to do things. Yes, the North-South Railway has been opened, and even the Yangtze River chassis will be paved with steel bridges! And from now on, countless railways will connect every province of Dayan, and even the main roads and palaces. It is a thousand miles away, and it will arrive in one day. Since this is the case, not only the censors in the capital, the officials of the Ministry of Justice, the officials of the Dali Temple, the officials of the military officials, and the officials of the six ministries can often go downstairs and check them out. If you don't understand the people's conditions, how can you know the suffering of people's livelihood?"
Yu Wanzhou smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll disturb the local area. The Beijing officials are still poor, once they go out..."
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Yu Aiqing dares to tell the truth, but aren't Dali Temple and the Censorate used by all the officials? If the supervision is not good, it means that there is a problem with the Dali Temple and the Censorate and there are loopholes. Since there are omissions, we must find a way to solve the problem. If it really doesn't work, there are still embroidered yarn guards..."
Yu Wanzhou hurriedly said, "What the emperor said is very much, but there is no need to send out the embroidered ward. Only when the national safety is endangered, can the embroidered ward be sent out. In fact, as early as the third year of Yuanwu, the court was ordered by the emperor and constantly sent out the imperial censors. It was just because the Great Yan was really vast, and the censors set off from the capital and had not yet arrived at the place. The news had long been passed, and the significance was not great. Now it is different, and it should have miraculous effects."
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, let me listen to you. I also believe that working together among the various departments of the court will solve this problem. However, I will say a few more words in the end. In my opinion, the court can send inspection teams to various provinces from time to time, and the government can send inspection teams to each province from time to time, and the teams can be divided into two teams of light and dark. Those who are bright will listen to the accusations of the people. But it is obvious that many people may not dare to come forward due to their fierce power, so there must be a secret team to inspect in secret.
I am not good at government affairs, and there are only so many suggestions I can make. The rest depends on the ministers and workers in the court to continuously improve with their unparalleled talents and love the people.
My husband once told me that Yu Aiqing is a rare genius. If all the famous names in history are ranked in the order, he believes that Yu Aiqing can rank among the top three..."
As soon as these words came out, both the prince and the civil and military officials in the hall were in an uproar.
This praise is really too amazing.
Moreover, if it only came from Lin Ruhai's mouth, it would be fine. Everyone knows that Yu Wanzhou could be transferred directly from the vassal state to the capital to become an official, and three years later, he went straight to the military aircraft, and Lin Ruhai's strong recommendation.
But Jia Qiang said this in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, which obviously agreed with this statement.
However, although Yu Wanzhou has done a good job in recent years, especially before taking over the heavy burden left by Zhang Chao who died suddenly, he had already used his super skills to promote the compulsory military service system, which enabled Dayan to export millions of conscripts from the local area to the vassal land every year, and other provinces to export millions of conscripts.
The biggest function of these conscripts is to establish a production and construction corps, develop fertile land from vassals and other provinces, which greatly accelerates the development of the four major vassals and other provinces.
This is not a simple job, it is not just about sending people out. There are countless lines involved in all aspects, and it is as messy as it is.
However, Yu Wanzhou was able to use calm and resolute means to sort out all aspects, and in one fell swoop, the proper operation of the national compulsory military service system.
but……
Is this evaluation still too high?
As for political achievements, Lin Ruhai, Han Cong, Zhang Chao, Li Su, etc., were not mentioned, nor were they below Wanzhou.
Yu Wanzhou himself was obviously very surprised, and his face, which never looked moved, was quite moved. He was excited and blushed. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, I am a poor family of crows, but I don't want to be valued by the emperor. I am celebrating the grace of ancient and modern times. Even though I am heartbroken, how can I repay it? What I do is only loyal to my duties and duties. How dare I get such praise from the emperor and Lin En? I am ashamed of it, but I can only devote myself to my whole life and die!"
The ministers looked complicated. They thought that today the emperor would meet the officials with the princes, and wanted the officials to do some effort to go to Qinzhou to serve the princes...
Unexpectedly, it was a meeting of the monarch and ministers...
Just one event today will be worthy of the past ten thousand continents.
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "In fact, in my opinion, Yu Aiqing has the opportunity to become the number one prime minister in history. As long as you can continuously improve the various systems of the court, especially the ability to reform and correct mistakes in the next ten years, so that I and the kings of later generations can do it, and the Holy Emperor will rule the world. Then, you will be the number one prime minister in ancient and modern times!"
These words made the cold sweat on Yu Wanzhou's forehead surge out in an instant, sweating profusely...
...
“Woo~”
"Ku sneer sneer sneer ~"
A royal train was running on the land of Zhili. The green fields on both sides of the railway were endless, and the distant mountains were green everywhere.
Half of the sunset has set in the west, and the afterglow even the clouds in the sky are dyed with a bright fire...
Jia Qiang sat in the carriage by the window, with a thick and soft high-altitude cashmere carpet under his feet. Not far away, a group of three or four-year-old children sat together, playing and playing with each other.
Daiyu sat opposite Jia Qiang, looking at the frosty whiteness on his temples and looking out the window with a deafening expression. She wanted to say nothing, but she didn't say anything after all.
Although she felt sorry for Changle, she felt even more sorry for the man in front of her.
He is the first person in history to manage such a huge empire. How much energy he should have spent on his mind and blood...
Twenty years ago, Daiyu would never believe that Jia Qiang would have turned gray in her hair so early.
She was only worried at that time that when she grew old early, Jia Qiang was in her prime...
"What are you sighing? Could it be that Changle's girl came to rub you again? The water that the married girl poured out. Before she got out of the house, her heart turned to the other side. It can be seen that my favor was in vain..."
Jia Qiang pretended to be displeased, but he could not hide it from the eyes of the person next to him?
Daiyu said angrily: "You just whispered in front of us, why don't you say it in front of Qinglan?" After a pause, he said softly: "A few days ago, the words the emperor said in front of all officials caused a great storm. Yu Wanzhou was almost criticized as the most powerful traitor in ancient times. Prince, how do you think in your heart?"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Qinglan asked you to come to my side to talk?"
Daiyu's eyebrows were as cute and charming as before, and looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Who dares not be afraid of what you said? Not to mention Changle, even my father and the girl from the Han family said her grandfather, they were all worried. The emperor was too. He said it well, but the last sentence drove a man from the sky into the abyss. That is, Yu Wanzhou's heart was hard. If someone else had changed, he would have been begging his bones to beg for punishment for the crime."
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "What I said is clearly what I said, but people in the world misunderstand me. However, I believe Yu Wanzhou would not, and he will understand my thoughts after all. Why do you think I took the Tian family out of Beijing at this time? I will make room for him to show off. In the past three years, he took over Zhang Chao's unfinished position. Most of the people in the Military Affairs Office and officials of the various ministries were old ministers of Zhang Chao. In the past three years, he used all his skills to gather these people together and used them for their own use, but that was all the same. If you really want to achieve great achievements, you still need his own staff to form a cabinet.
The talent of Wanzhou is far from being shown. Sister Lin, please watch it. The next ten years will be the beginning of the real rise and growth of the Great Yan!"
Daiyu said in surprise: "We still want to grow and take off? We are already in such a prosperous era, how can we still want to grow and take off?"
Jia Qiang reached out and hugged her in her knees, hugged her, and looked at the distant mountains and the sunset outside the car window, and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. The days before passed too quickly. Now I can finally steal some leisure time and slowly appreciate the great changes that have not been seen in thousands of years with my sister!"
When Daiyu heard this, her eyes melted. She gently leaned her head against Jia Qiang's shoulder and reached out to caress her. The grayness on her temples...
