After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the new policy lasted for three years, and the world was completely renewed.

In these three years, Emperor Lu worked hard day and night, and led his ministers to govern the world conscientiously. The entire Chinese land was like a withered dead tree, and it was rejuvenated.

The court first protected people's livelihood, encouraged agriculture and sericulture, and let the people engage in breeding and planting.

In short, let the materials be enriched first, so that the people can live a good life.

Through the Ministry of Households, encourage and mobilize merchants first. It is still the same as the previous Pingzhou set. After the preferential policies are issued, merchants go first, and let the activities of merchants drive domestic demand, thereby stimulating the enthusiasm of farmers from the front and side, so as to revitalize the local economy.

At the same time, Emperor Lu asked the Seven Engineering Institutes to cooperate and study various fertilizers, methods of improving soil, and various scientific planting and breeding methods to increase the yield of crops and livestock and poultry.

Then there is processing, product processing, and transportation, which involves road construction, etc. Anyway, it starts with food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that all people can participate in this economic cycle.

In three years, Daming achieved very good results in planting and breeding, and the lives of the people were gradually getting better.

In these three years, due to various power and interest disputes, the court of Daming Xin Dynasty gradually divided into three factions.

When the Qin-Lu Alliance first sought survival space, it pushed Lu Desheng to the front, Lu Songli assisted in the dark, and the Lu family was in charge of the government and the Qin family was in charge of the army.

During this period, the Qin-Lu Alliance continued to absorb various talents through Lu Songli's planning.

After Pinggang's uprising, Lu Songli came to the front and took charge of the government.

With the development of Pingzhou, the Qin-Lu Alliance gradually introduced famous officials such as Xue Xu and Guo Chong and famous generals such as Yue Shu and Sun Ming.

The power structure of Pingzhou also changed accordingly, forming a situation of "in government affairs, famous officials are the main, and the Lu family is the auxiliary; in military affairs, the Qin family is the main, and other famous generals check and balance".

However, after the establishment of Daming Xin Dynasty, after three years of development, due to the changes in power, interests and personnel, the initial pattern was also quietly changing.

Today, the three major factions of the Ming Dynasty are: the military generals led by the Qin family; the Lu family and the famous officials who joined in the middle period; the aristocratic families and the old ministers of Dali who joined at the end.

As time went on, the contradictions between the three forces became more and more acute.

Finally, at the end of the third year of Tianxi, during the accounting period, the contradiction broke out.

Faced with the huge military expenditure in the coming year, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was fine, but Xue Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, couldn't stand it and proposed to cut the army and reduce military expenditure.

His proposal was a hornet's nest.

The army made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the world is peaceful and there is no war to fight, is he suggesting that Emperor Lu kill the donkey?

Moreover, at the beginning of Emperor Lu's accession to the throne, he cut the army once in the name of rewarding the three armies. At that time, Emperor Lu sent the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army back to Zhangxiangli and returned to his hometown to develop. Now there are only young and strong people left in the army. If the army is cut, it will be cut to the thigh root.

Xue Xu naturally couldn't admit this. He only said that now that the new dynasty had just been established, the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty had been plowed by the army and was very stable. Now the court was struggling to support so many soldiers, so it would be better to lay off some of them to reduce the burden on the country, and then the court would have more money to develop the economy better.

Both sides held their own opinions, and the court suddenly quarreled.

Facing the court that was as lively as a vegetable market, Lu Songli knew that they couldn't listen to anything now, so she simply let them quarrel, and then retired and discussed it another day.

...

Xue Xu returned to the Xue Mansion a little later because he was pulled by his colleagues to talk for a while.

When he returned, he unexpectedly saw Xian Feng there, "Why are you here?"

Xian Feng only said, "Second uncle, I heard about the morning court."

Xue Xu waved his hand, "Don't worry about me."

"Okay." Xian Feng was not surprised at all by his second uncle's actions.

I still remember that on the third day of August in the first year of Tianxi, which was the day of enfeoffment of meritorious officials, he and Zhang Cheng accompanied the chieftain to wait outside the palace.

To be honest, when the news of the second uncle being named Marquis of Annan and appointed as the Minister of Personnel came out, the chieftain breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the chieftain's heart had finally settled down at that time.

The second uncle was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and had a title.

The Marquis of Ten Thousand Households! From then on, their Li people had a fiefdom!

He was also very uneasy at the time. The Li people have always been regarded as barbarians and were not treated well.

The second uncle had tried hard to help the Chen family, one of the six major families in the south, in order to find a place for the Li people.

It's a pity that the Chen family broke their promises!

At that time, it was also the critical moment for Emperor Lu to fulfill his promise. They were also afraid that Emperor Lu would turn his face and refuse to admit it, or even kill the donkey after he had done his job.

Fortunately, everything they worried about did not happen. The second uncle and their Li people got a good reward and a good result.

Therefore, the second uncle and their Li tribe are loyal to Emperor Lu.

So he was not surprised at all that the second uncle made such a proposal in the court today.

"By the way, second uncle, Uncle Ji is here." Xian Feng suddenly remembered this and reminded him.

But his reminder was a little late, Xue Xu had already seen his friend coming over aggressively.

"Why did you say that to Emperor Lu during the morning court?" Ji Wuyin was really mad at him.

He had been feeling unwell for the past two days, so he took a sick leave. He didn't expect that the old man Xue Xu would cause him such a big trouble just after he stopped going to court.

Who among the discerning people doesn’t know that the Ming Dynasty spent huge amounts on military expenditures? But this issue involves the Qinlu Group that conquered the world together, and it involves the old man. Who said it?

Xue Xu snorted coldly, "This issue is very serious. If you don't mention it, and I won't mention it, who will? Besides, I can't be intimate with the generals of the Qin family."

Emperor Lu treats him kindly and he protects Emperor Lu's interests. Is there any problem? He is the only one who is confused, what's the problem?

"You, you, you - I can't speak to you!"

"Don't say it if you can't. It doesn't matter today. I'm thinking that if Emperor Qin doesn't wake up, I'm going to persuade Emperor Lu to accept the concubine."

When Xue Xu said this, he didn't expect that Qin Sheng would wake up not long after.

Hearing what he said, Ji Wuyin was stunned, "You are so brave! Are you not afraid of offending the Qin family?"

Xue Xu snorted coldly. Did he offend the Qin family in many ways?

During these three years, Emperor Qin did not wake up, and Emperor Lu was alone, unable to sleep alone at night. How miserable was his life?

In that room, after Lu Songli went to court, he rarely reviewed the official documents, but went to see his daughter.

After leaving her daughter's palace, she did not immediately return to the palace in the dragon chariot, but walked along the road back to the palace.

Halfway along, she saw the frozen lake and stopped to watch the snow falling on the world.

Alice held an umbrella for her, Li Jieying motioned for everyone in the palace to stand aside, and Hongluo handed Lu Songli a hand stove.

Lu Songli ignored the palace people and thought about what was going on in the court.

Today Xue Xu suddenly got angry, and Lu Songli understood what he meant.

What he means is that there are no enemies outside, and there is no need for so many dogs to guard the house. As the saying goes, "when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits die, the lackeys are cooked."

But Lu Songli knew that the Ming Dynasty could not emphasize literature over military affairs.

Moreover, Lu Songli felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Although Xue Xu protects her and is a die-hard royalist, but now he is directly facing the military forces headed by the Qin family, there may not be any instigation from family members.

Three years after taking the throne, with her conscious or unconscious push, the power in the court now forms a tripartite force, which is quite stable.

In just three years, the country has gone from working in a unified direction to having internal conflicts.

How to resolve these conflicts and balance the forces in the court depends on her skills.

In "Shang Jun Shu Quqiang Chapter", if the country is strong but does not fight, the poison will be lost internally, and the officials with rituals and music will be born, and it will be destroyed; if the country goes to war, the poison will be lost to the enemy, and the country will be strong without rituals and music, and the officials will be born.

In fact, it is not terrible for a country to have internal contradictions. They can just transfer the contradictions away. If the contradictions are transferred to the enemy, the country will become stronger.

It is not scary to roll in, but to roll in. We don’t want to roll in, we want to roll outside. External rolls are the last word. As long as you roll it out, everything will be there.

From a historical perspective, "Shang Jun Shu" is the foundation of China. Because no matter the Qin, Han or Tang dynasties, they all perished by force.

If you can't fight out, you will inevitably fight among yourself. This is what Shang Yang has already stated.

She was lucky enough to read an explanation. The commentator asked, did the Qing Dynasty destroy the foundation of China?

She remembered that the commentator immediately replied, it was not the Qing Dynasty that destroyed the foundation of China, so it deserved it? Then he said that it was Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin who really destroyed the foundation of China.

Zhao Kuangyin bullied orphans and widowed mothers, Chen Qiao rebelled, and won the country unfairly. Later, in order to ensure that he was not threatened, he was afraid that the generals would follow their own old path, so he abolished his martial arts and forcibly castrated the Chinese martial arts.

Because there was an enemy outside the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were also in the hands of the Liao people, as well as other complicated national conditions, the Song Dynasty could only raise troops but could not fight. Afraid that military generals would take the lead in rebellion, they did not give support to military generals, and then seriously emphasized culture over military affairs. This is tantamount to destroying the foundation of China...

In the original work, Xie Zhan became the regent of the new dynasty through Zhao Yutan. Because the Qin family was so small, what happened next could almost be predicted.

Xie Zhan and Zhao Kuangyin are so similar.

She has said before that people who are not in the right position will do many tricks because of their guilty conscience.

Generally speaking, the dynasty when Xie Zhan was in power certainly did not pay attention to military generals. After all, the Qin family started their country with military force.

Military generals have no right to speak in the court, and they are squeezed out by civilian officials. Their status can be imagined.

As for the literati, there is serious internal strife.

Such a national system limits the potential for war and the combat effectiveness of the military. Coupled with constant internal high-level struggles, weakness is inevitable.

Not to mention that there is a big enemy like Xianbei outside...

She understood what Xue Xu meant. He wanted her to take this opportunity to cut off the wings of the Qin family so that her imperial power would not be restricted by the Qin family. But Xue Xu didn't realize that there was someone behind this matter.

Once it starts, it becomes difficult to control the severity.

Moreover, this matter was obviously beneficial to her, but secretly, it was causing endless harm.

Xie Zhan would make such a choice because of the limitations of the times.

But she can't do this. She can't destroy the foundation of China just for a little lust for power.

Moreover, the army is the minions of a dynasty. It can be used occasionally, but it must be kept sharp to ensure that when used, it can kill the enemy with one blow. How to maintain the strength of the military and ensure its vigor is a difficult problem.

Lu Songli felt that it was time to contact King Jin so that she could fulfill her promise back then.

In addition, Lin Shan must be summoned.

Lü Songli was thinking about what to do next, and Qin Sheng woke up at this time.
