The strongest Marquis in history

"What's more, when the imperial court evaluates an official, political performance is never the only criterion. Because political performance must be combined with the living standards of the people and the people's livelihood."

"The people under your Eastern Commandery, because of your exorbitant taxes and your reckless administration, the people's life is difficult, and even many people are facing the threat of being kidnapped and going to mine at any time."

"The lives of the people can only barely survive. Safety is even more at stake. For a prefect of the East County like you, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you talking about taxes? All your taxes are deducted from these people. Good development."

"When you leave Dongjun, you don't leave behind a rich family, but a pile of feathers."

"Arguing in front of me, do you think I don't understand local governance? If you rule, the people's family is well-off, and everyone praises you, I have nothing to say. However, you rule even People’s life is difficult, you talk about political achievements? Even the people can’t live, what are you talking about political achievements?”

Wang Qi's intention to kill Yang Xiong is even more serious.

Up to now, he still doesn't want to repent, and still looks angry.

Yang Xiong stiffened his neck and shouted: "Your Majesty, they are just a group of untouchables. If these untouchables live too well, they will rebel and rebel. You can't give too much to local untouchables."

"Once you give too much, these untouchables will take an inch and become a disaster. So in Dongjun today, it is enough for them to have enough food and clothing to survive."

"Bastard!"

Wang Qi gave a low snort.

His eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "You have never repented until now. Under the rule of Qi, I have been committed to improving the lives of the people, developing the people's livelihood, and letting the people live a better life. But you talk about the untouchables, Disregarding the life and death of the people, you are in vain as an official of your parents. You have failed the ardent hopes of the people."

Yang Xiong said: "But I have made contributions to the imperial court. I have paid countless taxes."

Wang Qidao: "The imperial court needs taxes, but it doesn't rely on officials to exploit the people. You are still stubborn and deserve death. Come."

One command.

Then a servant entered.

Wang Qi ordered: "Drag Yang Xiong down and execute him immediately. The Yang family ransacked his house, and all members of the Yang family were exiled to Lingnan. The rest of the people involved in the case will be executed and exiled together."

"Here!"

The soldiers responded, carried Yang Xiong and went out.

Yang Xiong is not reconciled in his heart, he still has not pleaded guilty, shouting that he has been wronged, thinking that he is not at fault.Under such a premise, Wang Qi was even more angry in his heart.

Officials like Yang Xiong have too much influence on the localities.

Chen Qinglong stood below, but said nothing, he could feel the emperor's anger.

The emperor was furious this time.

Wang Qi ordered: "Come here, send the cabinet members to discuss matters."

The servant went to deliver the order, and not long after, Zhu Shanchang, Lan Yu, Yuan Cang and others entered.

Everyone was a little apprehensive.

Wang Qi returned to Chang'an before, and when he met Zhang Yannian, he pleaded guilty one after another.But Wang Qi didn't deal with it for the time being, and everything remained as usual.But now, everyone has heard that Chen Qinglong is back, and they all know that there is news.

They were all worried that Wang Qi would get angry.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "In the case of Zhang Yannian in Puyang County, Dongjun County, I executed Yang Xiong and other people involved in the case, and ransacked the rest of the family. Do you have any objections to this matter?"

Zhu Shan said: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The rest of the people all spoke one after another.

Everyone has no objection.

Yang Xiong's problem is very serious, Wang Qi did not punish them severely, which is already the greatest gift.

Wang Qi continued: "The matter reported by Zhang Yannian has already been investigated. How should Zhang Yannian be settled here?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yannian is a man of integrity and fulfills his duties. This man is capable. I suggest that Zhang Yannian be promoted to be the prefect of Dongjun to rectify Dongjun. On the one hand, he is capable. On the other hand, he is familiar with Dongjun. The situation in the county. It is the most suitable person for him to rectify Dongjun."

Lan Yu said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Yuan Cang and others also expressed their opinions one after another, and they all recognized Zhang Yannian's position in the local government.After all, before Zhang Yannian, he was a county magistrate with quite a lot of political achievements.After suffering so much, it is barely feasible to give compensation now and directly promote him as the prefect of Dongjun.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Since you agree, let's arrange it like this. In addition, Yang Xiong's matter should be published in newspapers and distributed throughout the country. We must let everyone know the consequences of Yang Xiong. We can learn from the past and learn from it. The court does not need such people. What is needed are virtuous and capable people.”

Zhu Shan said: "The minister will make arrangements later."

Wang Qi said: "Don't follow up, tomorrow's newspaper will be published."

"Here!"

Zhu Shanchang answered directly.

After a pause, Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, I dare to play. The territory of Qi State is far away from the east, west, south, and north. If it is not for the existence of trains and the speed of travel, it is bound to be extremely difficult to control such a vast territory. The governance of the Qi State is even more difficult. I implore Your Majesty to suspend the attack and go all out to rectify the country."

"Your Majesty's martial arts are far superior to those of the kings of all dynasties, and can be regarded as the best in the world, and can be regarded as the best of the kings of all dynasties."

"In the current imperial court, although sweet potatoes, potatoes and other grains are being promoted, the people do not worry about food. However, the issue of the administration of officials cannot be resolved overnight, so I suggest that Your Majesty, organize the country."

Zhu Shanchang stood up, cupped his hands and said: "One generation has its own affairs. If His Majesty has finished all the tasks, what will the descendants do? I implore Your Majesty to postpone the war. Minister, speak out boldly, and ask Your Majesty to punish you."

Lan Yu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Yuan Cang and others also followed suit.

This is something everyone in the cabinet has already agreed upon.Because before, they all thought that the country was too big and needed the emperor to sit in charge.If there is no emperor in charge for a long time, it is easy to cause problems.

After hearing this, Wang Qi lowered his eyes and thought carefully.

There was no immediate answer.

Chapter 1128

Wang Qi's role in the governance and development of the country is mostly a guiding role.Because Wang Qi is extremely powerful, his existence has stabilized the martial arts situation in Da Qi, and the martial artists in the entire Da Qi territory no longer dare to act recklessly.

Especially with the existence of Zongmen Administration Bureau, all warriors from all over the world are included in the management, and even used by the imperial court.Under this premise, the fighting and fighting in the local area has been minimized.

In terms of science and technology, although Wang Qi has never personally studied it, he has written many scientific classics, especially mathematics, medicine, mechanics, physics, chemistry, etc. The existence of these books has increased the number of people who study them.

The entire Qi State's science and technology, as well as the Qi State's academics, are flourishing and have achieved unprecedented development.

Up to now, Qi State has gradually begun to industrialize.

But for Wang Qi, what he cares most about is Xing Education's opening of the imperial examination, changing the situation of poor families in the world, so that the local people can study.The foundation of the entire state of Qi is no longer based on aristocratic families, but a steady stream of humble scholars who continue to emerge and become the new force of the imperial court and the mainstay of the imperial court.

Expansion of territory is what Wang Qi has been doing.From the connection of the Western Regions, to Goguryeo and other places, then to the Wa Kingdom, then the Saduo Kingdom, the Baixiang Kingdom, and now the Qi Kingdom is already a giant.

But now, the Haixi Empire has never killed them.

This is Wang Qi's surprise.

Wang Qi's original plan was to continue westward, attack the Haixi Empire, and continue to expand the territory.But after listening to what Zhu Shanchang and others said, he had to admit that what Zhu Shanchang and others said made sense.

Qi State needs stability.

Qi State needs to digest everything.

Even for the Qi State to truly stabilize, it cannot be accomplished overnight, it needs sufficient time to completely stabilize and digest everything it has obtained.Otherwise, no matter how tyrannical Qi State is and internal instability, it will be useless.

It is different when the emperor sits in the court.

It is equivalent to having Dinghaishenzhen.

Seeing that Wang Qi was still in deep thought, Zhu Shanchang waited for a long time, and seeing that Wang Qi still hadn't made a statement, he said again: "Your Majesty, it has been almost ten years since the establishment of Qi State. I have been following Your Majesty for more than ten years."

"Although Qi State has been developing at a high speed and people's livelihood has been continuously improved. However, there are still many problems in Qi State, even in all aspects."

"For example, a wealthy family, although these are greatly weakened, they have not been completely resolved. For example, in the establishment of education, the prosperous and prosperous places have been promoted very well, but the barren places, especially the mountainous areas, are very poor."

"Another example is transportation. At present, the main cities are connected by trains and concrete roads, but the rest of the places, especially the county-level places, and many mountainous areas, are advancing very slowly."

"For another example, there are prostitution priests in many places, and even witchcraft are rampant. These customs and habits are also subject to constant change, and they have not been implemented yet."

"Even corruption, as long as there are people, there will be unsatisfied people. Corruption cannot be eradicated at all, and we need to continue to promote the eradication of corruption."

"One pile, one piece, all need His Majesty to sit in charge of the Qi State to stabilize the universe."

Zhu Shanchang talked eloquently, and continued: "If your majesty feels that he is not used to being in Chang'an all the time, or even detained, he can patrol the world and visit various places in private."

"In this way, we can understand the current state of Qi, and we can also picket the place. Your Majesty is here, and we have a backbone. In fact, I have another biggest consideration, that is, the prince is getting older now."

"The teaching of the prince is very important. The current guidance for the prince, apart from the officials of the Middle East Palace, is that the Taishanghuang leads the prince to practice martial arts, and the prince learns from the side of the Taishanghuang."

"These external influences have an influence on the prince. However, in order to make the prince more talented, I implore your majesty to teach the prince himself. Only in this way can our country of Qi have a successor."

Zhu Shanchang said: "It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to control the country. It is even more difficult to govern a country."

"Even apart from these, there are still His Majesty's knees, and the lack of heirs is also related to the fact that His Majesty has often gone out to fight these years. The royal family needs to spread its branches and leaves, and needs to have enough people."

"The royal family needs enough people."

"The royal family needs His Majesty."

"Your Majesty dares to speak out, please forgive me."

He directly lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, because Zhu Shanchang is now handling state affairs, he has always been conscientious, but he is already a little tired, after all, he has too much responsibility.

Zhu Shanchang is not very old, but his temples are already gray.

Already had the color of wind and frost.

Wang Qi looked at Zhu Shanchang who was kneeling on the ground, noticed Zhu Shanchang's gray temples, and sighed.

Thank you Zhu Shan for your hard work.

These years, it is indeed Zhu Shanchang who has been supporting the government.

If it weren't for Zhu Shanchang, Qi would not be what it is today.

Wang Qi walked to Zhu Shanchang's side, helped Zhu Shanchang up, and comforted him: "Shanchang, thank you for your hard work."

When Zhu Shanchang heard Wang Qi's words, he felt Wang Qi's respect, and burst into tears.

These years, Zhu Shanchang has not been easy.He is in charge of the government, although Wang Qi has given him full trust and support, allowing him to act arbitrarily, but it is not an easy task to rule the government of Qi.

No, everything can be settled with one word.

It seems that he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Qi allows him to be arbitrary.The problem is that he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he cannot be arbitrarily arbitrary.Once this is done, it is to give someone a handle, and he has to deal with many things.

But these are very exhausting.

In particular, governing a region seems to be a simple matter. It is said that governing a big country is like cooking small fish.In fact, this is inextricably linked, involving all aspects.

In a word, it is not easy.

That's why Zhu Shanchang burst into tears when he heard Wang Qi's words.

Wang Qi patted Zhu Shanchang's shoulder lightly, with a look of relief on his face, he turned and returned to the dragon chair.He glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "What you said is reasonable. For the time being, I will not start a war lightly. In the next few years, I will devote myself to governing the country. However, the matter of external expansion will still be carried out. The footsteps will not stop here. Internal governance must also be carried out."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Shanchang immediately spoke.

It is already very good to make Wang Qi step back and continue to govern the country for the time being, but if he asks for more, he will be a little bit farther.Once the emperor is angered, it is not a good thing.

The rest also joined in.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wang Qizai has a lot of pressure, compared to the past, the pressure is actually less.

This is something everyone is happy to see happen.

Wang Qidao: "Is there anything else?"

Lan Yu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have this performance."

Wang Qi said: "What's the matter?"

Lan Yu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are not many concubines in the palace. Counting the ones brought back from Satuo and Baixiang, there are only a few of them. It is still far from enough to spread branches and leaves for our country. Your Majesty , His Majesty, please select Naxiu girls so as to enrich the harem."

"No need!"

Wang Qi directly refused.

He said in a deep voice: "The concubine in the palace is enough for the time being, the matter of choosing a concubine is shelved."

For Wang Qi, the few women in the harem are enough for him to toss about, and any more are just decorations.

Seeing this, Zhu Shanchang didn't say much, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm fine now."

Wang Qi waved his hand, and the crowd retreated.But Wang Qi has never been idle. Now that he returns to Chang'an, he not only needs to get started with government affairs, but also needs to adjust and inspect the army.

So Wang Qi specially took a group of people from the staff department to inspect the situation of Xiao Qingzhi's troops in the Chang'an Military Region.
