I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]

146. A hole card for the ministers

The miraculous scene of the enthronement ceremony set off a frantic discussion among the people.

Although compared with those tribal people on the prairie who believe in gods without reason, the people of all countries do not have such foolish faith in gods, but they are still in the era of feudal society, and they maintain an instinctive awe of gods. The sight is so amazing that it's hard not to be admired.

And with the help of the system, Tang Yu even made the scene of the grand ceremony appear as a mirage in various parts of Qin State, and helped the tyrant establish the holy name of "destiny belongs to" with lightning speed, and consolidated the prestige of the new monarch .

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, no matter how unwilling the ministers in the court are at this moment, they have to submit honestly.

What's more, Yin Yu was not a good-tempered person. It wasn't just the patriarchs of the noble families who were killed at the enthronement ceremony, but all the officials who opposed him and threatened him lost their lives at the ceremony. Tianqi's official position was immediately replaced by a confidant he had cultivated over the years.

With such a thunderous method, such a cruel temper, and such a backhand who has already prepared to clean up the mess, what room do you have to resist?

At this time, no one dares to be stupid enough to touch Xinjun's bad luck. With repeated thunderous and bloody methods, everyone deeply understands that the best choice now is to behave honestly with your tail between your legs!

The ministers in the court were finally honest, and Yin Yu and Tang Yu felt a little relieved. Although they were prepared to act later, they didn't want to change all the people in the court if it was not necessary.

Although these courtiers have all kinds of problems, they still have real skills in the end. Otherwise, it is impossible for Qin to be as strong as it is today with the old King Qin alone.

Temporarily no worries of civil strife, strike while the iron is hot, the imperial policy promulgated at the grand ceremony must be implemented immediately, the first condition is to solve the people's food and clothing, this cannot be sloppy at all.

Fortunately, preparations have been made for this matter. Before taking the throne, they have already started to prepare for the enthronement. The sweet potatoes and potato seeds that have been saved in the past two years have already been dispatched to various parts of Qin State. At this moment, it is only necessary to let people Just hurry up and inform local officials to organize the planting.

At this moment, after hearing the specific details of Yin Yu's promulgation of the imperial decree, the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee realized that the so-called deliberation by the new emperor was nothing more than throwing stones to ask for directions!

Everyone was very depressed, but at this time they did not dare to show dissatisfaction and protest.Besides, if sweet potatoes and potatoes are as Xin Jun said, the yield per mu is several thousand catties, and they are planted without picking the soil, and are resistant to cold and drought, then it is indeed a good thing for the country and the people.

You must know that letting the people really fill their stomachs is the top priority for the unification of countries at present.

Thinking about it this way, the courtiers felt much better, and they also had some expectations. After all, who doesn't want their country to be stronger and more prosperous?

As for the matter of the public private school, although the courtiers did not dare to protest the tyrant too much, due to the limited financial resources of the treasury, they also euphemistically put forward a lot of opinions. In short, it can be summed up in one sentence: ... We do not disagree, The treasury really has no money, my lord!

At this point, Yin Yu was not angry after seeing the state treasury's financial resources. The ministers did not lie. Over the years, the old king of Qin has been focusing on developing military power. More than half of the state treasury's financial resources have been invested in the army. There is indeed not enough funds to support other infrastructure operations. .

However, they had already expected this kind of situation, so Yin Yu already had countermeasures for the money to open the government-run public private school.

"At present, the main task of public private schools is to literate the common people. They don't need too many teachers. They are only preparing to promote the ancient Qin script. This has been practiced in Licheng. The implementation of the ancient Qin script is very effective, so the teachers are very strong. We need to worry. It is mainly for the construction of public private schools, and the money needed... comes from the confiscated gold and silver of the three noble families of Guo, Qu, and Liao. It is taken from the people and used for the people, what do you think?"

That is of course good!The three major gentry clans were cleaned up, but a lot of gold and silver treasures were copied out, so it is good not to use the national treasury.

It's just... "These treasures are only enough to support the opening of public private schools. If the private schools mentioned by the king want to run for a long time, the national treasury will still need to invest a huge amount of money every year in the future. For my state of Qin, it is still a big burden. "

The moths in the court were basically killed, and the remaining courtiers, not to mention other problems, at least have the advantage of "doing practical things", and they have thought a lot about the new monarch's policies.

Although Qin is very powerful on the surface, in fact it is still very poor. The Seven Kingdoms have been fighting for hundreds of years. Naturally, the economy and trade between each other cannot be too developed. Therefore, most of the main sources of income for the national treasury are taxation. The ability is really limited.

"Your Majesty, let me wait and see. This public private school can be opened, but it cannot be completely free. Although Your Majesty is benevolent for the people, our national strength is limited after all. Please think about it a lot. Don't rush everything, it is better to take it slowly. .”

The ministers respectfully suggest.

Yin Yu was very satisfied with this attitude, and finally all those left now are not just eating and not working, and they are still usable for the time being.

Yin Yu nodded to Tang Yu, motioning for him to speak.Although Tang Yu is a male empress, it is reasonable for the harem not to interfere in politics, but the rules are determined by people. Now Qin has the final say, so naturally Tang Yu will not be allowed to stay in the harem and stare blankly.

Moreover, the public private school was proposed by Tang Yu, and he will explain the details more clearly.

Seeing Yin Yu's actions, although the officials disdain Tang Yu in their hearts, they are still very respectful on the face, and look to Tang Yu for help.

Facing everyone's eyes, Tang Yu didn't hesitate, and directly signaled the guards around him to send each minister a detailed plan about the private school, as well as the financial accounting and the revenue generation of several treasury items.

The ministers didn't know why, but they still watched patiently after getting the information, and their movements were a little cautious.

Just because the carrier for writing the plan is not the cloth and bamboo slips they usually use, but the paper that has become popular in the past two years, this kind of paper has only been handed down from the merchants of the Jiang State to the Qin State not long ago. The price is very expensive, and currently only the nobles are using it , and the quantity that can be purchased is not much.

Mr. Yu actually used paper to write such a one-time thing?The hearts of all the ministers were bleeding, and they secretly thought that this male empress was an unprecedented luxury!

It's just that when everyone roughly read the content of the information, their expressions changed from complaining to excited.

"Your Majesty, this, this is all true? Are these paper and glass products really the business of our Qin State?"

The faces of all the ministers glowed red, and they trembled a little when they spoke, all of them were excited.

In this regard, Yin Yu and Tang Yu smiled and nodded together.

Although the use of military power to suppress courtiers is effective, it is only temporary. To truly secure the throne and make people submit and be honest, the best strategy is to use ability.Don't look at the fact that they only have paper and glass products in their hands in the past two years, but the benefits and income they bring are shocking.

At the beginning, they did not do business directly in the name of Qin State, but made a detour, even sacrificing part of their interests to let their staff go to "seek refuge" with Jiang State for cooperation, not only to hide and not attract Qin King's attention, but also to follow up with Qin State Prepare not to be the target of the Six Nations.

"...Although Jiang Guo is now 'doing' the paper business, although we can't get all the benefits, but giving them [-]% of the benefits will make Jiang Guo a shield for our Qin State, which is also a good deal The methods of making paper and glass were all provided by Empress Tang, so Empress Tang will deal with the financial resources of the treasury. You don’t have to worry about it, as long as you use your skills to do things for Gu, and build our Qin State.”

Yin Yu did not hide that the business of paper and glass was controlled by Tang Yu. This was also indirectly telling the courtiers about the status of the "Queen of Tang", not just a vase in everyone's eyes.

The ministers were horrified when they heard the words, and their eyes on Tang Yu changed instantly.

Everyone knows that the paper and glass ornaments that have appeared in the past two years are all precious existences. Jiang Guo has gained the limelight and envy among the Seven Kingdoms because of selling paper. At the beginning, the old Qin King was even in a bad mood because of this. For a long time, because there is a strategy to make money, their situation of Qin and Jiang fighting for hegemony will be broken.

This turned out to be the prescription provided by Young Master Yu?Not just paper, but glass too!No wonder the king attaches so much importance to it, so it is!With such income in the national treasury, they can not only run some public private schools, but also have money to support more soldiers. Qin Guorong will be promoted to the first place in the Seven Kingdoms, and it is just around the corner!

Seeing the changed expressions of the ministers, Tang Yu nodded. Although he doesn't care what others think of him, he is not a masochist. It is naturally better to be respected by everyone.

"It's good for everyone to understand the matter of paper and glass. The king's ambition is not only to be strong in Qin, but to unify the six countries. Now that the situation in the six countries is tense, Qin is the object of attention, and the arrow is the first bird. Please remember: From today onwards, the development policy of our state of Qin is to 'pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger', not to compete for the glory of the day and night, but to seek great achievements for the future."

"Pretending to be a pig...eating a tiger?", the expressions of all the officials were weird for a moment, and they suddenly remembered that when their king was the king of Li, these words are not too appropriate to describe it!

Tang Yu couldn't control the weirdness in these people's hearts, so he just continued to order,

"Public private schools are free only for the most basic literacy courses. Later, deeper learning needs to be completed like ordinary private schools. However, the state will subsidize the cost of such repairs so that the people can afford them. The purpose of private schools is to popularize education. , instead of making money..."

"I won't say much about the benefits of improving the people's cultural and literacy levels. In short, you can see it in a few years. If you want Qin to develop, you must not only pay attention to military strength, but culture is also very necessary. A country needs the protection of soldiers. The construction of cultural and literary talents is needed."

"So here I would like to say hello to everyone. In the future, you can safely and boldly raise any questions about the ideas proposed by the king. The king will not be angry, but the premise is that we don't have ulterior motives. Our goal is to make Qin strong. If anyone If you dare to have any crooked thoughts about civil strife, don't blame me and the king for being cruel and sending you to reunite with the patriarchs of several great noble families."

Tang Yu's faint voice carried a strong chill.

The hearts of all the ministers trembled slightly, and when they met Yin Yu's cold gaze, they could no longer resist at all, their knees softened and they knelt down, responding in fear,

"Keep in mind the instructions of the Empress Tang, I will understand."

147. Qiao Yuchun's recommendation

Witnessing Xinjun's methods and seeing Xinjun's hole cards, the courtiers were terrified and could no longer think.

The power of the new monarch is far more unfathomable than everyone imagined. To be honest, if it is not for the sake of justice and court military power, Yin Yu would not have to fight for the throne at all, and it would not be possible to directly occupy the mountain as the king and establish another dynasty.

But even though he was frightened, the stronger the new monarch's ability, the better the future of Qin State. The ministers relaxed their minds after thinking about it for a while.They are not a few big gentry who are peeping at the royal power. They are attached to Qin and the king. As long as the king is not stupid, it is a good thing for them.

Including those well-known old ministers who were left behind, although they were not happy with Yin Yu's overly iron-blooded methods, and Tang Yu, a male queen, had a dislike, but seeing what Yin Yu said and thought were all for the future of Qin State, in his heart It's all joy and joy.

Since there is no need to worry about financial resources, the matter of opening a private private school is not a problem. All the ministers began to act in a hurry, each doing his own thing. The new king is in power. Everyone wants to perform well and strive to show their faces to gain a better future.

Groups of imperial envoys set out from Wangcheng to spread the news of the imperial edict to all parts of the country.

Tang Yu also took the opportunity to let the imperial envoys bring the eggs laid by the Fengchi beast to towns all over the country for local officials to raise them.

Although the wind owl in his hand has just hatched not long ago, it has tenacious vitality and is hermaphrodite. Its reproductive ability is different from ordinary spirit beasts cultivating immortality. It can lay eggs at any time as long as it is full, which does not affect it. Originally, it was a disguised version of the "mobile phone" specially researched by the immortal cultivators to facilitate the communication of mortals.

He didn't disclose the specific function of the Fengzhi beast. Anyway, the local government is only allowed to raise it first. It will not really play a role until the Qin State is solid and multiplied. Otherwise, the role of the Fengzhi beast will be known to the six countries. If so, Qin will become the target of public criticism...

After the decrees were promulgated one after another, Qin State officially entered the famous era of reform in current history.

However, due to the efficiency of handling affairs in ancient times, it will take at least a few months to see the specific effects of these policies.

But before that, they still have one thing to arrange, and that is—to seek compensation from Zhao Guo!

That day, the seizure of the throne finally pushed the deaths of the princes and King Qin to Zhao Guo. It was not a tyrant's whim. Who made Zhao Guo himself greedy enough to swallow an elephant, wanting to do porcelain work without diamonds? With Zhao Guo's national strength, he has the guts Peeping at the Qin State, and being impatient to live, he was sent to the head, how could they Qin State not grasp this handle?

At this time, after Tang Yu discussed with Yin Yu, he planned to hand it over to Jiang Hanyi.

Although they can't guarantee whether Jiang Hanyi will regain his thoughts on the throne, Jiang Hanyi has one advantage that can make people feel at ease, that is, in Jiang Hanyi's heart, he will keep in mind King Qin's wish of "unifying the six kingdoms" He will not collude with other countries in order to sit on the throne like the second prince, and harm the interests of Qin.

The envoys who went to Zhao to claim compensation must also have enough status to speak. Jiang Hanyi, as the only second prince of Qin, was resourceful and resourceful, so he was the best candidate.

Jiang Hanyi himself has no opinion on this task. Now there are only him and Brother Wang left in Qin State. Brother Wang's ability is in front of him. He doesn't mind being a small assistant to Brother Wang to fulfill his father's wish to unify the six kingdoms. ...

"Yuchun hasn't woken up yet." He was worried!

In order to make Jiang Hanyi reflect on himself, Tang Yu has never given Qiao Yuchun the antidote of feign death pills, so that Jiang Hanyi has been guarding the 'corpse' every day to reflect on it. If Qiao Yuchun's body hadn't rotted, he would have suspected that Tang Yu was fooling him. That's right, after all, bringing the dead back to life is too mysterious, and he also knows how cheating Tang Yu is.

Facing Jiang Hanyi's suspicious gaze, Tang Yu was very helpless, "Brother Jiang, at least we met once, and now we are a family again, can we have less suspicion and more trust?"

"cannot!"

Jiang Hanyi shook his head resolutely, he believed in this 'Brother Yu' too much, that's why he ended up in this situation.

Yin Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Where's Gu?"

Jiang Xijing said in seconds, "Brother Wang, you have the final say, you arrange the departure time!"

"Then leave tomorrow."

The tyrant was inhumane, and kicked out his stupid brother.

Tang Yu watched happily from the side, and sent people away gloatingly. After Jiang Hanyi left the next day, he gave Qiao Yuchun the antidote of the fake death pill to wake him up.

After Qiao Yuchun woke up and knew that Jiang Hanyi had really given up the throne for him, he couldn't help crying with joy, crying and laughing for a long time before he calmed down.

This time he was really taking a big gamble, but in the end he won the bet, his efforts were not in vain, and Jiang Hanyi did not let him down.

"Although women have been miserable and sad since ancient times, and there are countless people who betray their hearts, there is no absolute in everything, and there is always something good. No matter what the result is, as long as you try it, you will not regret it..."

Tang Yu patted people to comfort him. He actually admired Qiao Yuchun. As an ancient man who grew up under the edification of class, or an eunuch who was raised as a "slave" thought, Qiao Yuchun was able to boldly resist and work hard to pursue what he wanted. What you want, this kind of heart and courage is really admirable.

Perhaps it is this special quality that can make Jiang Hanyi, who is the proud son of heaven, be moved.

Qiao Yuchun's smile became relaxed for the first time, shed the previous disguise, and smiled brightly, "I have always had a good eye, and I can't misjudge people. I knew it from the moment he saved me. People in the royal family of Yin are not emotional. , the emotion is the deepest."

Tang Yu agrees with this, and the same is true for tyrants, if you don't move, you will be fine, and if you are emotional, it will be engraved in your bones...

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

"My husband sings and my husband follows. Since he is willing to do things for you, I will also do what he wants." Qiao Yuchun smiled, "Besides, didn't Mr. Yu have a plan in mind? After so much effort, didn't you plan to let me and him For the king of Li, no, it is used by the king now."

Tang Yu rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly. He didn't really like to plot against anyone, but he was in his position to plot against others.

Qiao Yuchun can die for Jiang Hanyi, and he will do everything he can to plan for the tyrant. In this world, no one is right or wrong, just stand on different positions.

"Whoever understands me, brother Qiao also."

Tang Yu also smiled, "I won't give up on talking to Brother Qiao. You are good at collecting information. I still plan to let Brother Qiao continue to work on newspapers. But there is no rush. When Uncle Lu and the others arrive in Wangcheng Besides, to wake you up at this moment, I want to ask Brother Qiao to recommend some people for me."

"who?"

"A person who is good at the law." Tang Yu said solemnly, "As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. Family rules are the foundation of governing a family, and the law is the foundation of governing the country. Now that the Qin State is powerful, it lacks a good law. I want to find someone to perfect the compilation."

"Aren't there ministers in the court?"

"The thinking of those ministers is too fixed, and they are basically from the gentry. The laws will definitely be biased towards the gentry. And the master's policy of governing the country is based on the people. There is a conflict between the two. I need to find someone from a poor family with upright conduct. Brother Qiao knows the news of Wangcheng like the back of his hand, so I wonder if there is anyone suitable to recommend him?"

Qiao Yuchun's face gradually became serious when he heard the words. Although he didn't have great talent, he still had something to see after he had been in the palace for a long time. The underlying meaning of Tang Yu's words seemed to change the current inherent class. It was simply a huge reform.

He came from a poor background, so he agreed with Tang Yu, but he couldn't help worrying, "My son's actions may be difficult, and I'm afraid it will inevitably lead to fire."

"The soldiers will block the water and cover them with earth. As long as the master believes in me, those people in the court will not be a problem."

Tang Yu is firm. For future development, it is imperative to overthrow the gentry hierarchy.

Qiao Yuchun was silent for a long time before nodding, "Okay, since the young master is not afraid, Yuchun has a suitable candidate. The other party is familiar with the law and has an upright character. He used to work in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, but later lost his official position because he offended someone. It's just... ..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the other party is upright... a bit too much, and very unreasonable."

Qiao Yuchun smiled helplessly.

Obviously, for someone who can make Qiao Yuchun show such an expression, such a description is definitely a bit euphemistic.

But Tang Yu was very interested, "It's okay, Brother Qiao will take me to have a look."

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Qiao Yuchun has no reason to refuse.

But he didn't take Tang Yu to meet people directly, but first gave Tang Yu the information of the person he recommended, and asked Tang Yu to send someone to investigate, and then talk about the meeting.In terms of being cautious, Qiao Yuchun was impeccable.

Tang Yu was very satisfied with this. When he got the information, he not only asked Ah Liu to investigate, but also asked 003 to use the system energy to help.After all, writing the law is a big matter, and it is better to be careful in everything.

In the end, the investigation results of the two did not differ much, and the suitable candidate Qiao Yuchun mentioned was indeed very good.

The character of the other party is indeed a standard of uprightness, and more importantly, the other party used to work in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and is very familiar with the law.The only shortcoming is that he doesn't understand the world, and his uprightness is almost too much.

To that extent, let's take a simple example:

The wife of the chief of the Ministry of Criminal Justice received a basket of eggs from a neighbor, and was accidentally seen by this man, and then this man ran to the old king of Qin to file an imperial complaint, saying that his boss had accepted bribes and should be beheaded...

That's right, it's just so upright, brave and tough!
