After taking the imperial examination, he got a ranking, not only got an official position, but also had a backer. Even if Wang Jujun's official position is not high now, he still has a teacher in the same year. Sending a few letters, even if he can't severely punish the dude in front of him, can still make him feel uncomfortable.

"Kneel down."

"You, what did you say?"

"I'll make you kneel!"

As an official in Beijing, I have seen many dudes, but Wang Jujun has never seen such arrogance.

"Haha, I am an official of the imperial court, you want me to kneel down? Do you regard yourself as the current emperor?"

As expected of being a scholar, the moment he opened his mouth, he would lead the matter to conspiracy, and it would be wrong for the other party to take it up no matter what.

"Stop talking nonsense, you will definitely kneel today, and kneel willingly."

"Joke! I, Wang Jujun, kneel to heaven and earth, kneel to the king's parents, what are you, let me kneel? If I kneel today, I, I, I will write the word 'king' upside down!"

"The other way around, you're still the 'King', and I won't make it difficult for you. It's over if you kneel down to Zhang Mancang and admit your mistakes."

"Okay, let me see how you can make me kneel down."

After speaking, Wang Jujun gave the small officials winks, if Li Wei used force, they would have to act in time, and they must not let themselves lose face.

With a light cough, Li Wei slowly took out the imperial decree he had just finished writing, "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, let's accept the decree."

Looking at the Minghuang imperial decree, Wang Jujun was stunned, "You, you dare to forge the imperial decree?"

"You bastard! Forging imperial edicts is a death penalty for punishing the Nine Clans! How dare you talk nonsense!"

After speaking, Chen Yuzhou directly showed his waist card.

There is an imperial decree, accompanied by palace guards, no one dares to doubt it anymore, no matter how upset Wang Jujun is, he can only kneel obediently to accept the decree.

"Ahem, Fengtian undertakes...the grain collection needs to be reformed, and Chen Yuzhou, the internal guard, will be in charge of it. A pilot site will be selected in the suburbs of the city. After passing the test, it will be available all over the world."

"End?"

"Otherwise? You still want to see for yourself?"

Li Wei asked sideways.

Li Wei, who came from later generations, has never read the Four Books and Five Classics. Usually, someone specially assigned to translate his vernacular into elegant sentences. Today, Li Wei temporarily wrote an imperial decree.

Although the content is weird, the imperial decree cannot be faked, and Wang Jujun can only accept the decree.

After winking at the real Chen Yuzhou, Li Wei said, "My official, Chen Yuzhou, came here today to implement the pilot project of the imperial decree, and return Zhang Mancang's grain to him, and collect it again according to His Majesty's orders." grain."

"What orders does His Majesty have?"

"Bastard! What are you, worthy of listening to His Majesty? Do it!"

The Qianzhuang Alliance and the emperor were in the same situation. Lin Qianru led Li Wei out of the city. Naturally, the inner guards did not dare to neglect. The surroundings were already full of guards. Seeing Li Wei's anger, they drew out their waist knives one after another.

Seeing the situation, the officials and small officials did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly poured back Zhang Mancang's grain.

"On business, do you want to collect food now?"

"Wait a minute, you won't forget the bet we made just now?"

"My boss, I am an official of the imperial court, how can I admit my mistake to a common man named Dousheng! I have to kneel even more, it's an insult to gentleness."

"The clothes on your body, the food in your stomach, the house you live in, and the various utensils you use, which one is not provided by the people of Dousheng? Even your salary is all the fat and anointing of the people. You eat others and use others. , you still want to be so contemptuous of others, have all your books been read into the stomach of a dog?"

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan would rather die than obey!"

"You don't need to die, just kneel down, if he refuses, then help him."

Chen Yuzhou nodded, and kicked Wang Jujun's leg. Wang Jujun, who couldn't lift his shoulders, had never been beaten since he was a child. He knelt on the ground and wanted to resist, but with the knife on his neck, he immediately became honest.

Just being pulled in front of Wang Jujun by the guards, Zhang Mancang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Wang Jujun.

He had never met a few officials in his life, and now that an official knelt down to apologize to him, Zhang Mancang would be considered an idiot if he wasn't directly scared to death.

"Get up, Wang Jujun made a mistake, he should admit his mistake to you, stand up!"

"No, I, I dare not."

"If you don't dare, stand up straight!"

After speaking, Li Wei ignored Zhang Mancang's objection and directly pulled him up from the ground.

After Wang Jujun was forced to kowtow three times by Chen Yuzhou, Li Wei said, "Now collect the grain again, bring the scale."

After listening to Li Wei's order, a guard drew a knife and carved a series of knife marks on the scale beam.

After working for a long time, the guard put the scale beam into Dou Ji's hand.

"Weigh again!"

Even the officials in charge were forced to kneel down, and Dou Ji didn't dare to talk nonsense, and obediently re-weighed, but he soon discovered the problem.

"Sir, this..."

Nodding his head, Li Wei said loudly to the onlookers: "That's right, this is the emperor's first measure to reform the law of harvesting grain. The rope cannot be moved easily, and the common people can see clearly how many catties are on the scale beam even if they are far away.

From now on, no one can report the number casually after weighing it. This is called public weighing! "

As soon as the voice fell, the common people applauded, and even Lin Qianru's eyes lit up. She has never lived in later generations, and naturally she has never seen a double-sided electronic scale that can be seen by business customers. Due to her thinking mode, she can't think of it. Let the common people see the method of Jin Liang.

It was beyond her expectation that Li Wei could come up with a solution in such a short period of time.

"How much does it weigh?"

"Seven, seven hundred."

Dou Ji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

"Next step!"

When several officials were about to pour food into the official hu, Li Wei stopped them, "I just asked someone to find a hu, use this."

"My lord, this is Minhu. When the government buys grain, it should use Guanhu."

"Is your Guanhu accurate? Just use this, I am an official, I say this is Guanhu, it is Guanhu."

Dou Ji can only act according to Li Wei's will.

"How many?"

Turning his eyes, Dou Ji smiled and said: "My lord, wait a minute. The food is a little uneven. If you record it rashly, it will inevitably make the court suffer. It will take a kick."

"Isn't it okay not to kick?"

"No, the food is high in some places and low in some places. How do you measure it? Where it is high, the court suffers, and where it is low, the people suffer. It is not appropriate. It is also a rule to step on fairness. Unbreakable!"

Dou Ji directly refused.

The county magistrate might as well take care of it now. Li Wei was on a mission with an imperial decree in hand, but he left after he finished his work.

"It's better to avoid this kick. Find a wooden board and scrape it flat?"

Dou Ji said stubbornly: "My lord, the rules are the rules, you can only kick with your feet, not with a scraper."

"Is it necessary to kick?"

"I have to kick!"

With Li Wei's backing, the people became more courageous, shouting and cursing one after another. Everyone knew that with this kick, a lot of food would go down, and every time they sold food, they would suffer a lot.

"Okay then, let's do it!"

Dou Ji thought that the superior officer was going to do something to him out of embarrassment, but just as he was about to escape, he found that the guards around Li Wei started to take off their clothes.

In order not to expose Li Wei's identity, the guards put on their robes after putting on their armor. Now that the emperor has ordered them, several guards took off their armor and wrapped them on the official dendrobium.

"What, what does this mean?"

"Your Majesty has two other measures. First, from now on, all official dendrobiums will be made of pig iron, with anti-counterfeiting patterns engraved on them, in case someone steals the beams and replaces the pillars, and replaces the big with the small ones. It is too late to make pig iron official dendrobiums temporarily, so use this instead." Second, all grain collectors are not allowed to wear shoes, let’s do it.”

"Take off your shoes?"

"Why, do you want to resist the decree?"

Dou Ji, who was so upright just now, almost burst into tears. The official dendrobium made of pig iron may not be able to be kicked even if it is kicked, let alone barefoot.

"I, I...do I need a scraper..."

"Kicking is the rule. You are right, are you deceiving the imperial envoy? Do you know what crime it is?"

Dou Ji, who had never read the book, looked at Wang Jujun suspiciously. Even now, Wang Jujun couldn't keep him. He explained: "The imperial envoy is responsible for the emperor's envoy, representing the emperor. To deceive the imperial envoy is like deceiving the emperor."

"Bullying! No, I, I dare not."

"Don't dare, then kick! It must be hard enough to level the food."

For the lives of his entire family, Dou Ji could only grit his teeth and kick down hard.

Li Wei's inner guards are equipped with cold-forged armor, which doesn't look thick but is extremely heavy. In addition, Chen Yuzhou insidiously asked the inner guards to put more than a dozen pieces of armor on the little official Hu. It didn't make Guan Hu tremble at all, but instead he lay on the ground with his feet hugged and screamed.

After finding a plank to level the grain, Li Wei said loudly, "Record, seven hundred catties! Collect grain at the market price and give me money."

Hearing Li Wei's words, the surrounding people cheered, and Zhang Mancang even knelt in front of Li Wei and kowtowed to thank him.

"Listen up, everyone! The previous three articles are the three chapters of the agreement between the emperor and the people of the world. From now on, the government will implement these three laws in collecting grain. Anyone who dares to violate it will be dismissed and investigated!"

Chapter 597 The Great Strike in Chang'an

"Emperor Shengming!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"The emperor is the best emperor!"

Amidst the cheers, Li Wei walked up to Lin Qianru with a proud face, "How about it, is my brain enough?"

"It's just clever."

"Solved a bad government in one shot, how can you be smart?"

Lin Qianru said with a look of disdain: "You only think of a solution to the bad government, but you don't think of the price you have to pay. What is it if you are not clever?"

In fact, this is Lin Qianru's real purpose. To abolish the two and change the yuan to make the fire consumption disappear. Li Wei has already offended the officials all over the world. Now he wants to reform the grain collection system.

Li Wei succeeded, but he also lost. Officials in the world will never allow Li Wei to continue to act mischievously. The bureaucratic group's counterattack is coming.

"I understand, they are nothing more than corrupt officials sucking the fat of the people, do you think I will be afraid of them?"

"Have you thought of it? Dare to do it?"

"Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there. I have said that I want to give the people a peaceful world. I will kill anyone who dares to prevent the people from living a good life!"

I have been in contact with Li Wei many times, but Lin Qianru only saw the strong murderous aura displayed by this emperor today, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright.

"You, you can do it yourself."

Lin Qianru wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Li Wei's wrist, "Lin Qianru! You help the evildoers and trap the people of the world in misery, won't your conscience hurt?"

Faced with Li Wei's questioning, Lin Qianru's expression changed drastically, "I, what I do, it's not your turn to take care of me!"

Looking at Lin Qianru's somewhat embarrassed back, Chen Yuzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that you are a king's subject on the coast of the land, but she openly questioned your majesty's authority, she should be killed!"

"This is a beautiful woman... right, she is a talent, she cannot be killed."

If Li Wei hadn't shamelessly sniffed his palm, Chen Yuzhou might really have thought that the emperor was a pity.

The three chapters of Li Wei's contract were officially promulgated soon. As Lin Qianru expected, the bureaucratic group that had been molested twice immediately began to counterattack, and a frenzy of strikes broke out in Chang'an City.

In name, Li Wei is the lord of the world, but to manage the world, he must rely on the officials below.

The county magistrates are not as good as they are now. The merchants are afraid of the emperor, but they are even more afraid of the officials who directly manage them.

As soon as the news of the strike came out, Tian Ce realized something was wrong and entered the palace immediately.

"Your Majesty, in the city of Chang'an, all merchants are on strike, every store is closed, and workers from all walks of life are on strike. Even the day laborers who used to gather at the root of the city are no longer seen. On the way to the palace, I encountered a robbery. Case, this is a sign of chaos!"

The guard in black had reported these things to Li Wei before Tian Ce, not to mention other things, just because of the dung workers' strike, Chang'an, which has no underground sewage system, will become a dung city full of filth tomorrow.

Seeing Li Wei's ugly face, Tian Ce bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been no law that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. What is the purpose of the reform? To make the country rich and the people strong, but if the steps are too big, it will be a disaster for the country and the people, wouldn't it? Running counter to the purpose of the reform?"

"Tian Ce, you have changed."

"Your Majesty...what do you mean?"

"In the past, we used our energy to focus on one place and our hearts to think together, but now, that is no longer the case. No wonder people say that we can share adversity but not share wealth."

The world is bustling and bustling, nothing more than the word profit. In the past, whether it was for fame or success, Tian Ce and Li Wei were on the same boat. Minister, rich and powerful, everyone has a common goal, so naturally stand together.
