◇
Three years (three in one)
Yan Yunhe had planned to find an ally before, and he thought that the conflict between himself and the little emperor was not irreconcilable.
Even if there are conflicts, it is not at the early stage of development, but it is only because it is still far away from the little emperor's own administration.
As for the conflicts surrounding the imperial power, as long as he proves that he is not interested in the imperial throne, I believe it can be reduced a lot. Before that, he had been worrying about how to prove himself, but the day Chu Jingan confessed madly gave him an idea.
And this idea is one of the reasons why he invited everyone to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Your Majesty, you are being polite. Today, Gu and everyone are gathered here just to solemnly express Gu's position. Gu knows that there have been many misunderstandings between the left and the right relatives. Today, I am here to untangle them. Both the left and the right are the mainstays of Dazheng. We really shouldn’t be separated from Gu because of some unwarranted misunderstandings, we should work hard and work together for the development of Dazheng.”
After Yan Yunhe said a few high-sounding words, he didn't look at the faces of the people, and continued: "Since Gu took office as the regent, everyone in the court and the opposition thought that Gu would steal the throne. When I first entered Luo City, I acted in a public manner. Today I apologize to you all, and please don’t worry about Gu’s mistakes before."
All the people present, except Chu Jing'an, could say something wonderful about their faces, but no matter what their expressions were, Yan Yunhe could see distrust from the slight changes in their expressions.
"As for Jixun, I have a clear view of the situation in the court. If this continues, the entire court will only be polarized and develop in completely opposite directions. At that time, who will seriously work for the people? , will you take Dazheng's future into your heart?"
Yan Yunhe glanced at Lu Zhiyan, "At that time, the right minister still had the people of his family and country in his heart? Even if we don't talk about the time, but only now, what is the right minister thinking?"
Lu Zhiyan's expression was extremely complicated. He felt ashamed and embarrassed at being pointed out at the moment, resentful and suspicious at the moment, and wanted to question the purpose of Yan Yunhe's words, but in the end he restrained his emotions and said respectfully: "The minister now only wishes His Majesty to be safe and grow into a wise master."
He said this in front of the queen mother, obviously expressing his loyalty to the queen mother and the little emperor behind the queen mother, but kept silent about his previous thoughts.
Yan Yunhe ignored him, and asked Chu Haide again: "Where is Lord Zuoxiang? If I hadn't quit the court at that time, how things would develop in the future, what do you have in mind?"
Although Chu Haide knew that what Yan Yunhe said was reasonable, but the habit of opposing each other was still there for a long time, he did not agree with Yan Yunhe's statement, he only said: "The future has not happened yet, so I dare not jump to conclusions. "
And Yan Yunhe didn't need their verbal approval, his previous words were only intended to wake up the few present, and the next words were the key.
"I know that it's hard to gain your trust no matter what I say now. I said before that today is to show myself. You don't need to listen to what I say, but please watch me do it."
Yan Yunhe got up and walked out of his seat, knelt down facing the palace door, and just made an oath to the sky: "I, Yan Yunhe, King Zhong of Zheng Zheng, made this oath today under the witness of the emperor's ancestors, I, Yan Yunhe I will dedicate this life to the people of Dazheng, and I will never marry a wife or leave any children in the future. If I violate this oath, I will be divided into five horses, and my soul will be destroyed. After death, I will not enter the ancestral grave or the family temple.
His shoulders are straight, and his words are powerful. Even if you can't see his expression clearly, you can see his sincerity from his words and actions.
"You..." The queen mother exclaimed, knocking over the wine cup in hand, Yan Yunhe's oath was too shocking, no one would make fun of their own descendants, not to mention that breaking this oath would cost too much up.
People in the world may not believe in ghosts and gods, but they will not disrespect their ancestors. The oath of death without a burial place is not something ordinary people can say.
Not only the Queen Mother was so shocked that she was speechless, even Chu Haide and Lu Zhiyan were speechless for a while, they also never thought that Yanyunhe could make such a poisonous oath, how can there be such a court struggle in the past and present?
Only Chu Jing'an, after a moment of silence, got up and walked to Yanyunhe and knelt down, he did not swear to the sky, but said to Yanyunhe: "I, Chu Jingan, swear here today, I will live by Yanyunhe in this life." The oath is my own oath, and if I violate it, I am willing to bear the same consequences as the Yanyunhe oath."
Yan Yunhe didn't expect Chu Jing'an to do such a thing. After being surprised, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "What you said doesn't count. I only need to be responsible for my vows, and it's none of your business."
However, Chu Haide was furious. He was intimidated by Yan Yunhe's oath before, and he never paid attention to Chu Jingan's actions. It was too late to stop him, so he let Chu Jingan say those words.
He stood up abruptly, unable to suppress his anger, he yelled at Chu Jing'an, "Nizi! Get out!"
Chu Jing'an ignored Chu Haide's anger, took Yan Yunhe's hand, stood up with him, and said to him: "Is this the reason why you don't marry a wife and have children? But these are not important, no matter what you want to do, I will will always be with you."
Seeing Chu Haide's furious appearance, the queen mother was worried about her father's body, so she also stepped down from the high seat, supported Chu Haide's arm, and said in a low voice: "This is not the time to talk about this, first settle the important matter before we talk about it."
The oath Yan Yunhe made before was "not to marry a wife in this life, and to have no children". If it is nothing to say that not to marry a wife, then it is not so simple to have no children.
This oath is obviously as Yan Yunhe said, to show himself, he is using this method to explain that he has no interest in the throne, and will not pose a threat to the little emperor's throne, because no emperor will be cut off from his heir.
Chu Haide calmed down very quickly. He would only take advantage of the words of Lu Zhi next to him if he had an attack at this time. .
He snorted coldly and said, "What is the purpose of the regent's oath before?"
Yan Yunhe temporarily put Chu Jing'an aside, and said to Chu Haide: "That's what you think, I want to show that I am really not interested in going further. I only have one wish in this life, and that is I can see that the people are living a good life, and I have been working hard for this. Today, I made this oath from my heart. In order to prevent everyone from doubting my sincerity, I am willing to hand over the full power of Jingbei military affairs to the Ministry of War, and I will not interfere again. Everything about the Jingbei Army."
The reason why they are afraid of Yanyunhe is that the Jingbei Army is the most important link. Only when Yanyunhe delegates power will they let down their guard.
But everyone here is also a scheming person, so they naturally know that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, Yan Yunhe is willing to give up the Jingbei Army, there must be something he wants to plot.
Lu Zhiyan was always vigilant, and at this time he was the first to ask: "Then what is the prince asking for?"
Yan Yunhe almost sighed helplessly again, why can't these people remember no matter how many times he said it?Is the brain affected by the setting of the original work?
"The only thing we want is Dazheng's country, prosperity and people's safety. If we want to say it again, it is "development." It is not the only goal to make Dazheng move forward, to go backwards or to stagnate. "
Lu Zhiyan keenly noticed that Yan Yunhe's self-proclaimed had changed. Thinking about it carefully, Yan Yunhe always referred to himself as "I" before and after taking the oath, and there is obviously a deep meaning in it.
"If you say that, then I also have the same purpose. May I ask, who in the court doesn't have this ambition?" Chu Haide didn't vent his sulking anger, and it was inevitable that he spoke in a strange way.
Yan Yunhe didn't take it seriously, "Does Prime Minister Right and the Queen Mother think the same way?"
Of course, Lu Zhiyan and the Queen Mother would not deny that Yan Yunhe's goal was to stand on the side of righteousness, and they used to put righteousness first.
Yan Yunhe smiled and rolled his eyes, took out two pockets in his arms, and took out a stack of papers, "In this case, our goals are completely the same, there is nothing to say, here is a development plan, please read it, after I will invite you to build Dazheng together with Gu.”
The three of them took the plan, and Yan Yunhe's unexpected behavior obviously made them startled. When they read the plan, they were very serious, as if they wanted to get a glimpse of Yan Yunhe's real purpose.
This plan is very detailed. It is Yanyunhe's development plan for the next three years, from agriculture to road construction, from handicraft industry to land planning. Although it does not specify how to take each step, it has delineated the direction.
If this plan is really followed, several people can imagine that after three years, not to mention that Dazheng will change the world, at least it will be able to fill the stomachs of many people.
"This..." After reading the plan, the queen mother looked at the two prime ministers on the left and right, as if she wanted to hear their opinions.
Both Lu Zhiyan and Chu Haide were silent. They did see Yanyunhe's ambition from this plan, but this ambition was not aimed at the supreme position.
At the same time, they also saw that if Yan Yunhe was allowed to complete the implementation of this plan, what kind of prestige would he gain? By then, Yan Yunhe would still be as he said, and would not expect to go further?
"Several of you should have finished reading. I would like to invite all of you to participate in the grand event and build the future of Dazheng together. These plans cannot be accomplished by one person alone. They must work together and unite as one."
Yan Yunhe looked at the faces of several people, and said again: "I think I have said all I need to say, and I don't want anyone to hinder Gu's development of Dazheng. If someone dares to do so, then don't blame Gu for not being sympathetic." If you still don't believe in Gu, we can also sign a contract, and Gu guarantees that the throne will only belong to His Majesty from the beginning to the end."
Without waiting for the two prime ministers to speak, the queen mother took the lead and said: "Okay! Since the emperor is so happy, the Ai family is not a person who is indecisive. I will sign this contract with the emperor today. The Ai family and His Majesty will fully support the emperor's construction of Dazheng. determination."
"Haha, Your Majesty is really a hero among women, and she is determined not to be under the right and left." His expression turned serious, and he said firmly: "My Majesty, don't worry, Gu will not let you regret today's decision, Your Majesty is mine. Darling, my love for him is no less than that of my mother."
The empress dowager's eyes were slightly wet, as if she had finally let go of her tense heartstrings, "With your words, we will always be a family. From now on, I will ask you to take more care of your nephew."
Yan Yunhe said: "If one family doesn't talk about two families, His Majesty is very intelligent and will become a wise king. I can't think of anyone else who can compare to Your Majesty."
The two have already entered into mutual flattery mode, and only waited to discuss the specific terms of the contract later. The Queen Mother figured it out that this plan was beneficial to the country and the people, but Yan Yunhe almost made it clear that he would not monopolize the work and invited everyone Participation is obviously to share credit.
And as long as Yanyunhe handed over the control of the Jingbei Army, the sword hanging over the palace would also be removed. If you don't take the opportunity to agree to such a beneficial thing, you will regret it later. How much work will it take to achieve the goal.
Although there were still doubts in their hearts, Lu Zhiyan and Chu Haide were obviously moved by Yan Yunhe's concession. They had no position to refuse the queen mother's promise.
Yan Yunhe picked up the jug, filled wine for several people one by one, then raised the wine cup, and said loudly: "Drinking this glass of wine, the previous grievances and grievances will be wiped out. From now on, we will work together to realize the beautiful vision as soon as possible. Please !"
All of them agreed with each other, drank the wine in the glass, and then drafted the contract. After several discussions, they finally settled on the final terms.
Chu Jingan started the writing on her behalf, and four copies were handed over to four people to sign. This matter took nearly half a month. I just want to roll up my sleeves and do great things.
And Zuo Xiang was finally free to teach his son a lesson.
Chu Jing'an knelt in the ancestral hall, Chu Haide decided that he could no longer allow his son to be lawless, and asked to become a monk to punish this rebellious son.
Although Mrs. Zuo Xiang was heartbroken by her son, her feelings for her son were not adulterated. Seeing that her husband was going to be serious, she rushed to the ancestral hall worriedly, lest Chu Jing'an really suffer any harm.
As soon as Mrs. Wu arrived at the ancestral hall, she saw bloodstains on Chu Jing'an's back. She exclaimed, stepped forward and took Chu Haide's hand that was holding on to the stick, and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't beat me any more. It hurts."
Chu Haide waved his hands away from the Wu family, and said angrily: "If I kill this rebellious son today, I will just pretend that I never gave birth to this son."
Seeing that she couldn't hold her husband back, Wu opened her hands to protect Chu Jing'an and Chu Haide, choked up and said, "Jing'an is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. I suffered so much to give birth to him. How can I let him The master said that if you kill him, you can kill him, if you kill him, you can kill me first, so that I won't be heartbroken later."
Chu Haide wanted to pull Wu Shi away, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Wu Shi hugged him upright. Wu Shi's eyes turned red from crying, and he called out sadly: "Master."
Seeing his wife's tearful eyes, Chu Haide couldn't bear to push away her entangled wife, and could only say angrily: "Do you know what this rebellious son has done? You know how to protect him!"
Wu said: "How can I, a mother, not know, but Jing'an is already like this, and finally there is someone I care about, how can I have the heart to let him go back to the way he was before? Master, you are pitiful Have pity on our son."
Even though Chu Haide beat her with a stick, Chu Jing'an never made a sound, but after hearing Wu Shi's words, he couldn't help calling "Mother" in a low voice.
He pressed his chest, and there was an emotion growing there. For the first time in his life, he seemed to understand the feeling of being loved by his mother. The ice that wrapped his heart seemed to have melted. Looking at Wu Shi who was protecting him, he He felt ashamed of his mother.
Although Wu's nature is weak and obedient to her husband, Chu Haide also loves his wife very much. Since Wu's birth to Chu Jing'an hurt her body and made it difficult to conceive, she insisted on not taking concubines. The two have been married for more than ten years. Wu naturally knew how to persuade Chu Haide to calm down.
"Just let Jing An try it. He is still so young, so he can't live like this for the rest of his life. Maybe if he continues to try, he will gradually get better? I don't want to see him the way he was before." Wu pressed on Holding Chu Haide's arm tightly, she has always strictly demanded herself in front of people, never making any intimate movements with her husband, and now she can't care about that much.
Thinking of Yan Yunhe's poisonous oath that day, Chu Haide let out a long breath, "Forget it, don't cry any more, I, a father, can't control this son anymore, let him go, anyway, those who lose their children and grandchildren can't do it anymore." It's not just me."
"Master, it's all my fault. Don't blame Jing'an. I'll arrange a few concubines for you tomorrow. You won't be so sad if you have a son." If you want to give Chu Haide a concubine.
Chu Haide hurriedly explained: "Ma'am, I'm not talking about you, what kind of concubine do you want? I'm already so old, if I say it, people will laugh at me, Madam, let's stop thinking about it."
"Woooo, I caused the master to have no children and grandchildren. I am ashamed of the master."
"Stop crying, what's the big deal? Tomorrow we will go to the clan to hold a baby. I don't know how many people want to be my son, Chu Haide. They are all better than this Nizi."
The two went out of the ancestral hall while talking, Wu Shi winked at the big maid beside her, and pulled Chu Haide back to the room, and after the two of them disappeared, the big maid hurriedly ordered a few servants to carry Chu Jingan away. It hurts.
Yan Yunhe didn't see Chu Jing'an for a few days, and didn't know what happened to him, so he sent someone to pass on the news, and soon he learned the news that Chu Jing'an was beaten, he found the best wound medicine, and sent the imperial doctor to see Chu Jing'an's injury.
Although he was worried, he really couldn't go to the Chu Mansion with the cheek, so he could only care about Chu Jing'an in this way.
"It would be great if Zuo Xiang's stick can wake this kid up." When there was no one around, Yan Yunhe murmured to himself, thinking of the scene when he made the oath that day, his heart skipped a beat.
As far as he is concerned, a poisonous oath is nothing. He has been educated in materialism for more than ten years.
Even though I have traveled through time, I still don’t believe in ghosts and gods in my bones. I only think that some high-tech or mysterious power must have caused me to wear it.
But Chu Jing'an is a native of the country, and he obviously takes this poisonous oath seriously, which makes Yan Yunhe feel at a loss. Emotional infection.
"He's still young now, just wait a little longer, maybe when he recovers, he will fade away." Yan Yunhe could only leave everything to time.
And this waited for three years.
Ji Yun hugged the book in his arms tightly and entered the study room. He put the book on the desk, and on the cover were the two big characters "Truth", and all the words on the cover were in simplified characters. He couldn't wait to open it and read it from the beginning.
"This is the reason why the magnifying glass can ignite the fire. The next article is about the refraction of light... well, the last article is about the diffuse reflection of light." Ji Yun said to himself, and then he bit his index finger and began to read carefully .
When he was concentrating, he always made this small movement unconsciously. Although he was corrected several times by Teacher Su Mo, he couldn't usually see it anymore, but when he was fully absorbed, he still couldn't control himself.
"Truth" is a monthly magazine launched by Los Angeles First Technical Institute two months ago, and it is only circulated within the academy.
But because Ji Yun is Su Mo's disciple, before the new issue was released, he asked someone to leave a copy for him in advance, and others were willing to do this kind of favor for him, and from the first time he read it, Ji Yun deeply Fascinated by the truth contained in this book.
Now this "Truth" is wildly sought after outside, many people do not hesitate to be admitted to the technical college in order to see the content inside, and the first technical college, which was originally criticized as destroying the style of study, has also become a pointer to Gewuyiyi .
And "Truth" has only come out to the third issue so far, but its content covers all aspects, such as machinery, biology, mathematics, etc., which are reflected in the first three issues.
The authors who published these contents are different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they used to be the judges of the Tiangong Competition, and they all currently live in the New District of Los Angeles.
Following the publication of the article in "Truth", their fame spread widely, causing the price of house prices in the new district to drop every day, and housing construction around the school district was put on the agenda again.
Others don't know why "Truth" has so many capable people and strangers writing articles for it, but Ji Yun knows some of the inside stories. The regent Yan Yunhe gave these people a wonderful book, and they are exactly Based on this wonderful book, I opened up my mind and achieved today's achievements.
Los Angeles No. [-] Institute of Technology was established under the auspices of the Prince Regent. He wanted to launch a publication in a new form. How could these people not support it?
Ji Yun didn't know what this strange book was before, although he was a little curious, he was not moved.However, as soon as "Truth" came out, he was "shocked by heaven" at the first sight of it, and since then he has read it without sleep and food, so that Su Mo warned him several times, so when he reads it now, Ji Yun came here secretly.
"I caught you, and you're reading miscellaneous books again." Shu Xing's voice rang in his ears, and Ji Yun, who was addicted to reading, was startled to realize that someone had entered the study.
"I just glanced at it, and after reading it, I will study hard. Brother, please don't tell the teacher." Ji Yun pretended to be begging, and looked at Shu Xing pitifully. The young Shu Xing said senior brother.
Shu Xing has grown into the appearance of a young boy. When Ji Yun called him a senior brother, he put his hands behind his back and taught him a lesson: "It's not that the teacher is unreasonable. You will have a science exam next year. How can you be distracted at this time? The teacher has said that Now, after you finish the exam, you can look at it as you want, how can you be so uncontrollable? Don't let down the teacher's good intentions."
Ji Yun is very talented. Although he had thought about such a performance before, the stable life of several years has finally dispelled a lot of his hostility, and Su Mo is patiently guiding him. Now he is about to become a talent. The exam became famous in one fell swoop.
After the death of his father Ji Xun, the appearance of Su Mo undoubtedly filled the vacancy in Ji Yun's life.
Therefore, Ji Yun respected and loved Su Mo very much. Hearing what Shu Xing said, he couldn't help being ashamed. He reluctantly closed "Truth" and handed it to Shu Xing.
"It's my fault, I won't be distracted again in the future, please return this book for me, little brother." Ji Yun patted Shu Xing's shoulder, as if entrusting him with a big responsibility.
Shu Xing said solemnly: "Don't worry, just hand it over to me, I will not let it get hurt at all."
Leaving behind Ji Yun who was studying seriously after confessing, Shu Xing carried "Truth" out of the study room, but he did not return the book, but found a corner, opened the book with great interest and began to read.
When he looked at it, he saw the sun fading to the west, and he didn't feel the passage of time, until he was hit on the head, and when he looked up, he saw He Nian standing beside him. He hurriedly covered the book with his sleeve, as if trying to hide.
He Nian said: "You still read some books outside at such a late hour, and you hurt your eyes carefully, maybe you also want to wear a pair of glasses?"
Shu Xing was not afraid of He Nian, and said with a smile, "Just this time, Mr. He, don't tell the teacher, I've been paying attention."
"Little slick." He Nian flicked Shu Xing's forehead, and pulled out the "Truth" that Shu Xing hid under his sleeve, "Didn't the academy say that it had already been borrowed? When did you borrow this book?"
Shu Xing rubbed his forehead, and didn't betray Ji Yun, he just said: "I went early, and the people in the library recognized me, so I asked him to keep a copy for me."
"Oh." He Nian closed the book and tucked it into his big sleeve, "You are still young and it is time for you to study seriously, don't read this kind of book to change your temperament, I will confiscate this book. "
Shu Xing was dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed He Nian's sleeve, "Mr. He, I have to return this book. You confiscated it, how can I explain to others? Don't let the disciple become the one who broke his promise."
He Nian pulled back his sleeve, "Don't worry, I will return it for you."
"But..." But the one who borrowed the book wasn't me!
Before Shu Xing could say anything, He Nian had already left shaking his hands, leaving only Shu Xing scratching his head, who didn't know how to explain.
When He Nian found Su Mo with "Truth" in his arms, Su Mo was reading at night with the lamp on. He was reading none other than the book "Truth" that has become popular in Los Angeles recently.
"Like a teacher, there must be a disciple." He Nian sighed.
Without raising his head, Su Mo casually pointed to the chair beside him, signaling He Nian to sit by himself, but He Nian was not polite, and after sitting down, he also took out "Truth" and began to read.
After a long time, Su Mo closed the book, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed slightly.
He Nian said: "It's too early to sigh at this time."
"Could it be possible to wait until you really can't catch up with others before sighing?" Su Mo bent his index finger and tapped "Truth" on the table.
He Nian didn't take it seriously and said: "Everyone has their own special performance, and you don't study hard, so why compare with others?"
Su Mo picked out the wick, and replied: "It's not about comparison, but about endless learning. The knowledge contained in "Truth" is so detailed that even a speck of dust can have a saying.
Even if someone marks it as a miscellaneous book, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for it. If it continues to develop, it will definitely be comparable to the current classics, and it may even have an impact on various classics. "
He pointed to the word "truth" on the cover, "In the past when we talked about truth, it was the words of saints, but now the word truth contains not only the words of saints, but everything in the world. Isn't the truth of saints also learned from the world? Yes, this "Truth" follows the way of a sage. If I don't think about making progress, I will waste all these years of reading the book."
He Nian said: "I thought you had already seen the situation clearly. Now is the time for a new day. This "Truth" is just a part of it. Go out now and see what the people eat and use. Now What you do for a living, you should know what the change of the times the Regent speaks of."
Su Mo recalled the appointment with Yanyunhe under the pavilion, and now the latest version of the dictionary has been compiled.
But the agreement between him and Yan Yunhe has not stopped yet, the dictionary is under preparation, the workload of this is much larger than that of the dictionary, and it will take more than three or two years?
At that time, the regent was still young and immature, and he was forced to withdraw from the court voluntarily. Today, he is much more mature. In the early days, there were still problems with government orders. Now he is the same in the court, and his reputation among the people is exactly the same. At the height of the sun, this is another layer of Su Mo's hidden worry.
He didn't know how Yan Yunhe twisted the court up and down, but when his personal reputation surpassed the emperor's, it was undoubtedly a time of turmoil in the court. I don't know if the regent is aware of this, but I just hope he doesn't forget his own. original intention.
Of course, Yan Yunhe never forgot what he was going to do. It was the dead of night, and he opened the message area again, looking for the message from his junior.
Soon he found his goal, "Encyclopedia of Poultry Breeding".
Over the years, he has devoted himself to filling people's stomachs. Now wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes have been promoted. After enriching the staple food, it is time to add color to the recipes for the people.
The first farm is already under construction, and of course the preparations must be done well. During the day, he is entangled in various things, and only at night is he free to copy them.
This year's autumn harvest has just passed, and the grain production in various places will be reported in a few days. Judging from the experience of the past two years, this year's production will definitely hit a new high.
But at the same time, food prices will also be at historical lows, which is definitely not good news for farmers.
Therefore, the next step is to solve this problem and improve the living standards of the people. In addition, tax revenue should also be reduced.
Since ancient times, there are only exorbitant taxes that go up, how can there be a court that actively lowers taxes?He just slipped a little bit, and many people rushed to object.
It's nothing more than touching their cake, but Yan Yunhe's determination to reform the tax system is also unstoppable, and he is currently in a stage of tension between the two sides.
Yan Yunhe had seen many officials these days, and it took him some time to deal with it. Therefore, at this stage, he only wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
After the morning meeting the next day, various ministers plus the left and right ministers and Yan Yunhe gathered together, and Yan Yunhe also formally proposed the idea of reforming the tax system at this small court meeting.
The household department was in charge of this matter, and Shang Shu Zou Jintong had no choice but to say: "The confidant of the prince who cares about the people is also grateful, but our court's expenditure has increased a lot in recent years, and the reduction of taxes may not make ends meet."
In the past three years, countless cement factories have been built in various places. The road construction alone has cost almost half of the tax revenue of the Ministry of Households, and there are other miscellaneous new projects. What are the benefits of lower taxes?
Yan Yunhe said: "In recent years, the output of several new grains has repeatedly hit new highs, leading to frequent drops in grain prices, and low grain prices hurt farmers. We must solve this problem.
Therefore, Guzheng plans to prepare a grain processing factory and build a Dazheng grain depot, so that the imperial court can purchase the grain from the common people and control the price of grain. "
Several ministers were shocked, and Zou Jin said, "The prince wants to punish the grain merchants?"
Yan Yunhe said: "It's another thing to talk about rectification. Gu just wants to build a national granary. What's wrong with that? Are you willing to hand over the lifeblood of Dazheng's life to a profit-seeking businessman?"
"Then the prince said to control the price of food, is there any specific regulations?" They have worked with the regent in the past few years, and they have long been accustomed to come up with a plan or a feasibility report when doing something. Taxation is the key to the country. It is a big event, and I believe that the regent will be no exception this time.
Yan Yunhe didn't come up with any plan, but only summarized two sentences: "Controlling the price of grain is nothing more than buying grain from the people at a reasonable price when the price of grain is too low. When the price of grain is too high, Then sell the grain at a low price and regulate the grain market so that no matter how high or low the grain is, the common people can afford it.”
This kind of market adjustment method is the most basic. There have been open warehouses to release grain before, but this is the first time someone has proposed that such a loss-making thing should be done, which is surprising.
"Is this a matter for the imperial court to handle merchants?" Fu Chengmiao, Minister of Rites, frowned and questioned.
Yan Yunhedao: "How can regulating the market be simply summed up in the four words "business matters"?Mr. Zou, can you hear the energy contained in what Gu said just now? "
The Ministry of Households is the department that deals most with money and food. When Yan Yunhe first mentioned this idea, he already understood Yan Yunhe's idea. It has to be said that this idea is very bold and risky.
Comrade Zou Jin said: "If Dazheng is used as a chessboard, the prince's idea will undoubtedly become the hand that holds the chess, but excuse me, our imperial court is not rich, and this hand cannot hold chess unless it is a rich family. "
Yan Yunhe agreed: "Therefore, Gu also proposed to build a grain processing factory. On the one hand, it will not cause hoarding of old grains, and on the other hand, it can also open up new sources of income. In the past three years, Dazheng has built a flat road that runs through the north and south. It is time for the goods to The circulation is up, and as long as it moves, there will be a steady stream of wealth accumulation.”
He turned to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and asked: "Master Qi, I heard that the tires are already finished, when can I take Gu to see them?"
Qi Yangshu hurriedly said: "You can do it at any time. The finished product this time can still run after three months. The wear and tear is not serious. I believe it can meet the prince's requirements."
The author says:
I offer my liver, thank you little angels for your support, I love you——
Three years (three in one)
Yan Yunhe had planned to find an ally before, and he thought that the conflict between himself and the little emperor was not irreconcilable.
Even if there are conflicts, it is not at the early stage of development, but it is only because it is still far away from the little emperor's own administration.
As for the conflicts surrounding the imperial power, as long as he proves that he is not interested in the imperial throne, I believe it can be reduced a lot. Before that, he had been worrying about how to prove himself, but the day Chu Jingan confessed madly gave him an idea.
And this idea is one of the reasons why he invited everyone to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Your Majesty, you are being polite. Today, Gu and everyone are gathered here just to solemnly express Gu's position. Gu knows that there have been many misunderstandings between the left and the right relatives. Today, I am here to untangle them. Both the left and the right are the mainstays of Dazheng. We really shouldn’t be separated from Gu because of some unwarranted misunderstandings, we should work hard and work together for the development of Dazheng.”
After Yan Yunhe said a few high-sounding words, he didn't look at the faces of the people, and continued: "Since Gu took office as the regent, everyone in the court and the opposition thought that Gu would steal the throne. When I first entered Luo City, I acted in a public manner. Today I apologize to you all, and please don’t worry about Gu’s mistakes before."
All the people present, except Chu Jing'an, could say something wonderful about their faces, but no matter what their expressions were, Yan Yunhe could see distrust from the slight changes in their expressions.
"As for Jixun, I have a clear view of the situation in the court. If this continues, the entire court will only be polarized and develop in completely opposite directions. At that time, who will seriously work for the people? , will you take Dazheng's future into your heart?"
Yan Yunhe glanced at Lu Zhiyan, "At that time, the right minister still had the people of his family and country in his heart? Even if we don't talk about the time, but only now, what is the right minister thinking?"
Lu Zhiyan's expression was extremely complicated. He felt ashamed and embarrassed at being pointed out at the moment, resentful and suspicious at the moment, and wanted to question the purpose of Yan Yunhe's words, but in the end he restrained his emotions and said respectfully: "The minister now only wishes His Majesty to be safe and grow into a wise master."
He said this in front of the queen mother, obviously expressing his loyalty to the queen mother and the little emperor behind the queen mother, but kept silent about his previous thoughts.
Yan Yunhe ignored him, and asked Chu Haide again: "Where is Lord Zuoxiang? If I hadn't quit the court at that time, how things would develop in the future, what do you have in mind?"
Although Chu Haide knew that what Yan Yunhe said was reasonable, but the habit of opposing each other was still there for a long time, he did not agree with Yan Yunhe's statement, he only said: "The future has not happened yet, so I dare not jump to conclusions. "
And Yan Yunhe didn't need their verbal approval, his previous words were only intended to wake up the few present, and the next words were the key.
"I know that it's hard to gain your trust no matter what I say now. I said before that today is to show myself. You don't need to listen to what I say, but please watch me do it."
Yan Yunhe got up and walked out of his seat, knelt down facing the palace door, and just made an oath to the sky: "I, Yan Yunhe, King Zhong of Zheng Zheng, made this oath today under the witness of the emperor's ancestors, I, Yan Yunhe I will dedicate this life to the people of Dazheng, and I will never marry a wife or leave any children in the future. If I violate this oath, I will be divided into five horses, and my soul will be destroyed. After death, I will not enter the ancestral grave or the family temple.
His shoulders are straight, and his words are powerful. Even if you can't see his expression clearly, you can see his sincerity from his words and actions.
"You..." The queen mother exclaimed, knocking over the wine cup in hand, Yan Yunhe's oath was too shocking, no one would make fun of their own descendants, not to mention that breaking this oath would cost too much up.
People in the world may not believe in ghosts and gods, but they will not disrespect their ancestors. The oath of death without a burial place is not something ordinary people can say.
Not only the Queen Mother was so shocked that she was speechless, even Chu Haide and Lu Zhiyan were speechless for a while, they also never thought that Yanyunhe could make such a poisonous oath, how can there be such a court struggle in the past and present?
Only Chu Jing'an, after a moment of silence, got up and walked to Yanyunhe and knelt down, he did not swear to the sky, but said to Yanyunhe: "I, Chu Jingan, swear here today, I will live by Yanyunhe in this life." The oath is my own oath, and if I violate it, I am willing to bear the same consequences as the Yanyunhe oath."
Yan Yunhe didn't expect Chu Jing'an to do such a thing. After being surprised, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "What you said doesn't count. I only need to be responsible for my vows, and it's none of your business."
However, Chu Haide was furious. He was intimidated by Yan Yunhe's oath before, and he never paid attention to Chu Jingan's actions. It was too late to stop him, so he let Chu Jingan say those words.
He stood up abruptly, unable to suppress his anger, he yelled at Chu Jing'an, "Nizi! Get out!"
Chu Jing'an ignored Chu Haide's anger, took Yan Yunhe's hand, stood up with him, and said to him: "Is this the reason why you don't marry a wife and have children? But these are not important, no matter what you want to do, I will will always be with you."
Seeing Chu Haide's furious appearance, the queen mother was worried about her father's body, so she also stepped down from the high seat, supported Chu Haide's arm, and said in a low voice: "This is not the time to talk about this, first settle the important matter before we talk about it."
The oath Yan Yunhe made before was "not to marry a wife in this life, and to have no children". If it is nothing to say that not to marry a wife, then it is not so simple to have no children.
This oath is obviously as Yan Yunhe said, to show himself, he is using this method to explain that he has no interest in the throne, and will not pose a threat to the little emperor's throne, because no emperor will be cut off from his heir.
Chu Haide calmed down very quickly. He would only take advantage of the words of Lu Zhi next to him if he had an attack at this time. .
He snorted coldly and said, "What is the purpose of the regent's oath before?"
Yan Yunhe temporarily put Chu Jing'an aside, and said to Chu Haide: "That's what you think, I want to show that I am really not interested in going further. I only have one wish in this life, and that is I can see that the people are living a good life, and I have been working hard for this. Today, I made this oath from my heart. In order to prevent everyone from doubting my sincerity, I am willing to hand over the full power of Jingbei military affairs to the Ministry of War, and I will not interfere again. Everything about the Jingbei Army."
The reason why they are afraid of Yanyunhe is that the Jingbei Army is the most important link. Only when Yanyunhe delegates power will they let down their guard.
But everyone here is also a scheming person, so they naturally know that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, Yan Yunhe is willing to give up the Jingbei Army, there must be something he wants to plot.
Lu Zhiyan was always vigilant, and at this time he was the first to ask: "Then what is the prince asking for?"
Yan Yunhe almost sighed helplessly again, why can't these people remember no matter how many times he said it?Is the brain affected by the setting of the original work?
"The only thing we want is Dazheng's country, prosperity and people's safety. If we want to say it again, it is "development." It is not the only goal to make Dazheng move forward, to go backwards or to stagnate. "
Lu Zhiyan keenly noticed that Yan Yunhe's self-proclaimed had changed. Thinking about it carefully, Yan Yunhe always referred to himself as "I" before and after taking the oath, and there is obviously a deep meaning in it.
"If you say that, then I also have the same purpose. May I ask, who in the court doesn't have this ambition?" Chu Haide didn't vent his sulking anger, and it was inevitable that he spoke in a strange way.
Yan Yunhe didn't take it seriously, "Does Prime Minister Right and the Queen Mother think the same way?"
Of course, Lu Zhiyan and the Queen Mother would not deny that Yan Yunhe's goal was to stand on the side of righteousness, and they used to put righteousness first.
Yan Yunhe smiled and rolled his eyes, took out two pockets in his arms, and took out a stack of papers, "In this case, our goals are completely the same, there is nothing to say, here is a development plan, please read it, after I will invite you to build Dazheng together with Gu.”
The three of them took the plan, and Yan Yunhe's unexpected behavior obviously made them startled. When they read the plan, they were very serious, as if they wanted to get a glimpse of Yan Yunhe's real purpose.
This plan is very detailed. It is Yanyunhe's development plan for the next three years, from agriculture to road construction, from handicraft industry to land planning. Although it does not specify how to take each step, it has delineated the direction.
If this plan is really followed, several people can imagine that after three years, not to mention that Dazheng will change the world, at least it will be able to fill the stomachs of many people.
"This..." After reading the plan, the queen mother looked at the two prime ministers on the left and right, as if she wanted to hear their opinions.
Both Lu Zhiyan and Chu Haide were silent. They did see Yanyunhe's ambition from this plan, but this ambition was not aimed at the supreme position.
At the same time, they also saw that if Yan Yunhe was allowed to complete the implementation of this plan, what kind of prestige would he gain? By then, Yan Yunhe would still be as he said, and would not expect to go further?
"Several of you should have finished reading. I would like to invite all of you to participate in the grand event and build the future of Dazheng together. These plans cannot be accomplished by one person alone. They must work together and unite as one."
Yan Yunhe looked at the faces of several people, and said again: "I think I have said all I need to say, and I don't want anyone to hinder Gu's development of Dazheng. If someone dares to do so, then don't blame Gu for not being sympathetic." If you still don't believe in Gu, we can also sign a contract, and Gu guarantees that the throne will only belong to His Majesty from the beginning to the end."
Without waiting for the two prime ministers to speak, the queen mother took the lead and said: "Okay! Since the emperor is so happy, the Ai family is not a person who is indecisive. I will sign this contract with the emperor today. The Ai family and His Majesty will fully support the emperor's construction of Dazheng. determination."
"Haha, Your Majesty is really a hero among women, and she is determined not to be under the right and left." His expression turned serious, and he said firmly: "My Majesty, don't worry, Gu will not let you regret today's decision, Your Majesty is mine. Darling, my love for him is no less than that of my mother."
The empress dowager's eyes were slightly wet, as if she had finally let go of her tense heartstrings, "With your words, we will always be a family. From now on, I will ask you to take more care of your nephew."
Yan Yunhe said: "If one family doesn't talk about two families, His Majesty is very intelligent and will become a wise king. I can't think of anyone else who can compare to Your Majesty."
The two have already entered into mutual flattery mode, and only waited to discuss the specific terms of the contract later. The Queen Mother figured it out that this plan was beneficial to the country and the people, but Yan Yunhe almost made it clear that he would not monopolize the work and invited everyone Participation is obviously to share credit.
And as long as Yanyunhe handed over the control of the Jingbei Army, the sword hanging over the palace would also be removed. If you don't take the opportunity to agree to such a beneficial thing, you will regret it later. How much work will it take to achieve the goal.
Although there were still doubts in their hearts, Lu Zhiyan and Chu Haide were obviously moved by Yan Yunhe's concession. They had no position to refuse the queen mother's promise.
Yan Yunhe picked up the jug, filled wine for several people one by one, then raised the wine cup, and said loudly: "Drinking this glass of wine, the previous grievances and grievances will be wiped out. From now on, we will work together to realize the beautiful vision as soon as possible. Please !"
All of them agreed with each other, drank the wine in the glass, and then drafted the contract. After several discussions, they finally settled on the final terms.
Chu Jingan started the writing on her behalf, and four copies were handed over to four people to sign. This matter took nearly half a month. I just want to roll up my sleeves and do great things.
And Zuo Xiang was finally free to teach his son a lesson.
Chu Jing'an knelt in the ancestral hall, Chu Haide decided that he could no longer allow his son to be lawless, and asked to become a monk to punish this rebellious son.
Although Mrs. Zuo Xiang was heartbroken by her son, her feelings for her son were not adulterated. Seeing that her husband was going to be serious, she rushed to the ancestral hall worriedly, lest Chu Jing'an really suffer any harm.
As soon as Mrs. Wu arrived at the ancestral hall, she saw bloodstains on Chu Jing'an's back. She exclaimed, stepped forward and took Chu Haide's hand that was holding on to the stick, and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't beat me any more. It hurts."
Chu Haide waved his hands away from the Wu family, and said angrily: "If I kill this rebellious son today, I will just pretend that I never gave birth to this son."
Seeing that she couldn't hold her husband back, Wu opened her hands to protect Chu Jing'an and Chu Haide, choked up and said, "Jing'an is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. I suffered so much to give birth to him. How can I let him The master said that if you kill him, you can kill him, if you kill him, you can kill me first, so that I won't be heartbroken later."
Chu Haide wanted to pull Wu Shi away, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Wu Shi hugged him upright. Wu Shi's eyes turned red from crying, and he called out sadly: "Master."
Seeing his wife's tearful eyes, Chu Haide couldn't bear to push away her entangled wife, and could only say angrily: "Do you know what this rebellious son has done? You know how to protect him!"
Wu said: "How can I, a mother, not know, but Jing'an is already like this, and finally there is someone I care about, how can I have the heart to let him go back to the way he was before? Master, you are pitiful Have pity on our son."
Even though Chu Haide beat her with a stick, Chu Jing'an never made a sound, but after hearing Wu Shi's words, he couldn't help calling "Mother" in a low voice.
He pressed his chest, and there was an emotion growing there. For the first time in his life, he seemed to understand the feeling of being loved by his mother. The ice that wrapped his heart seemed to have melted. Looking at Wu Shi who was protecting him, he He felt ashamed of his mother.
Although Wu's nature is weak and obedient to her husband, Chu Haide also loves his wife very much. Since Wu's birth to Chu Jing'an hurt her body and made it difficult to conceive, she insisted on not taking concubines. The two have been married for more than ten years. Wu naturally knew how to persuade Chu Haide to calm down.
"Just let Jing An try it. He is still so young, so he can't live like this for the rest of his life. Maybe if he continues to try, he will gradually get better? I don't want to see him the way he was before." Wu pressed on Holding Chu Haide's arm tightly, she has always strictly demanded herself in front of people, never making any intimate movements with her husband, and now she can't care about that much.
Thinking of Yan Yunhe's poisonous oath that day, Chu Haide let out a long breath, "Forget it, don't cry any more, I, a father, can't control this son anymore, let him go, anyway, those who lose their children and grandchildren can't do it anymore." It's not just me."
"Master, it's all my fault. Don't blame Jing'an. I'll arrange a few concubines for you tomorrow. You won't be so sad if you have a son." If you want to give Chu Haide a concubine.
Chu Haide hurriedly explained: "Ma'am, I'm not talking about you, what kind of concubine do you want? I'm already so old, if I say it, people will laugh at me, Madam, let's stop thinking about it."
"Woooo, I caused the master to have no children and grandchildren. I am ashamed of the master."
"Stop crying, what's the big deal? Tomorrow we will go to the clan to hold a baby. I don't know how many people want to be my son, Chu Haide. They are all better than this Nizi."
The two went out of the ancestral hall while talking, Wu Shi winked at the big maid beside her, and pulled Chu Haide back to the room, and after the two of them disappeared, the big maid hurriedly ordered a few servants to carry Chu Jingan away. It hurts.
Yan Yunhe didn't see Chu Jing'an for a few days, and didn't know what happened to him, so he sent someone to pass on the news, and soon he learned the news that Chu Jing'an was beaten, he found the best wound medicine, and sent the imperial doctor to see Chu Jing'an's injury.
Although he was worried, he really couldn't go to the Chu Mansion with the cheek, so he could only care about Chu Jing'an in this way.
"It would be great if Zuo Xiang's stick can wake this kid up." When there was no one around, Yan Yunhe murmured to himself, thinking of the scene when he made the oath that day, his heart skipped a beat.
As far as he is concerned, a poisonous oath is nothing. He has been educated in materialism for more than ten years.
Even though I have traveled through time, I still don’t believe in ghosts and gods in my bones. I only think that some high-tech or mysterious power must have caused me to wear it.
But Chu Jing'an is a native of the country, and he obviously takes this poisonous oath seriously, which makes Yan Yunhe feel at a loss. Emotional infection.
"He's still young now, just wait a little longer, maybe when he recovers, he will fade away." Yan Yunhe could only leave everything to time.
And this waited for three years.
Ji Yun hugged the book in his arms tightly and entered the study room. He put the book on the desk, and on the cover were the two big characters "Truth", and all the words on the cover were in simplified characters. He couldn't wait to open it and read it from the beginning.
"This is the reason why the magnifying glass can ignite the fire. The next article is about the refraction of light... well, the last article is about the diffuse reflection of light." Ji Yun said to himself, and then he bit his index finger and began to read carefully .
When he was concentrating, he always made this small movement unconsciously. Although he was corrected several times by Teacher Su Mo, he couldn't usually see it anymore, but when he was fully absorbed, he still couldn't control himself.
"Truth" is a monthly magazine launched by Los Angeles First Technical Institute two months ago, and it is only circulated within the academy.
But because Ji Yun is Su Mo's disciple, before the new issue was released, he asked someone to leave a copy for him in advance, and others were willing to do this kind of favor for him, and from the first time he read it, Ji Yun deeply Fascinated by the truth contained in this book.
Now this "Truth" is wildly sought after outside, many people do not hesitate to be admitted to the technical college in order to see the content inside, and the first technical college, which was originally criticized as destroying the style of study, has also become a pointer to Gewuyiyi .
And "Truth" has only come out to the third issue so far, but its content covers all aspects, such as machinery, biology, mathematics, etc., which are reflected in the first three issues.
The authors who published these contents are different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they used to be the judges of the Tiangong Competition, and they all currently live in the New District of Los Angeles.
Following the publication of the article in "Truth", their fame spread widely, causing the price of house prices in the new district to drop every day, and housing construction around the school district was put on the agenda again.
Others don't know why "Truth" has so many capable people and strangers writing articles for it, but Ji Yun knows some of the inside stories. The regent Yan Yunhe gave these people a wonderful book, and they are exactly Based on this wonderful book, I opened up my mind and achieved today's achievements.
Los Angeles No. [-] Institute of Technology was established under the auspices of the Prince Regent. He wanted to launch a publication in a new form. How could these people not support it?
Ji Yun didn't know what this strange book was before, although he was a little curious, he was not moved.However, as soon as "Truth" came out, he was "shocked by heaven" at the first sight of it, and since then he has read it without sleep and food, so that Su Mo warned him several times, so when he reads it now, Ji Yun came here secretly.
"I caught you, and you're reading miscellaneous books again." Shu Xing's voice rang in his ears, and Ji Yun, who was addicted to reading, was startled to realize that someone had entered the study.
"I just glanced at it, and after reading it, I will study hard. Brother, please don't tell the teacher." Ji Yun pretended to be begging, and looked at Shu Xing pitifully. The young Shu Xing said senior brother.
Shu Xing has grown into the appearance of a young boy. When Ji Yun called him a senior brother, he put his hands behind his back and taught him a lesson: "It's not that the teacher is unreasonable. You will have a science exam next year. How can you be distracted at this time? The teacher has said that Now, after you finish the exam, you can look at it as you want, how can you be so uncontrollable? Don't let down the teacher's good intentions."
Ji Yun is very talented. Although he had thought about such a performance before, the stable life of several years has finally dispelled a lot of his hostility, and Su Mo is patiently guiding him. Now he is about to become a talent. The exam became famous in one fell swoop.
After the death of his father Ji Xun, the appearance of Su Mo undoubtedly filled the vacancy in Ji Yun's life.
Therefore, Ji Yun respected and loved Su Mo very much. Hearing what Shu Xing said, he couldn't help being ashamed. He reluctantly closed "Truth" and handed it to Shu Xing.
"It's my fault, I won't be distracted again in the future, please return this book for me, little brother." Ji Yun patted Shu Xing's shoulder, as if entrusting him with a big responsibility.
Shu Xing said solemnly: "Don't worry, just hand it over to me, I will not let it get hurt at all."
Leaving behind Ji Yun who was studying seriously after confessing, Shu Xing carried "Truth" out of the study room, but he did not return the book, but found a corner, opened the book with great interest and began to read.
When he looked at it, he saw the sun fading to the west, and he didn't feel the passage of time, until he was hit on the head, and when he looked up, he saw He Nian standing beside him. He hurriedly covered the book with his sleeve, as if trying to hide.
He Nian said: "You still read some books outside at such a late hour, and you hurt your eyes carefully, maybe you also want to wear a pair of glasses?"
Shu Xing was not afraid of He Nian, and said with a smile, "Just this time, Mr. He, don't tell the teacher, I've been paying attention."
"Little slick." He Nian flicked Shu Xing's forehead, and pulled out the "Truth" that Shu Xing hid under his sleeve, "Didn't the academy say that it had already been borrowed? When did you borrow this book?"
Shu Xing rubbed his forehead, and didn't betray Ji Yun, he just said: "I went early, and the people in the library recognized me, so I asked him to keep a copy for me."
"Oh." He Nian closed the book and tucked it into his big sleeve, "You are still young and it is time for you to study seriously, don't read this kind of book to change your temperament, I will confiscate this book. "
Shu Xing was dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed He Nian's sleeve, "Mr. He, I have to return this book. You confiscated it, how can I explain to others? Don't let the disciple become the one who broke his promise."
He Nian pulled back his sleeve, "Don't worry, I will return it for you."
"But..." But the one who borrowed the book wasn't me!
Before Shu Xing could say anything, He Nian had already left shaking his hands, leaving only Shu Xing scratching his head, who didn't know how to explain.
When He Nian found Su Mo with "Truth" in his arms, Su Mo was reading at night with the lamp on. He was reading none other than the book "Truth" that has become popular in Los Angeles recently.
"Like a teacher, there must be a disciple." He Nian sighed.
Without raising his head, Su Mo casually pointed to the chair beside him, signaling He Nian to sit by himself, but He Nian was not polite, and after sitting down, he also took out "Truth" and began to read.
After a long time, Su Mo closed the book, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed slightly.
He Nian said: "It's too early to sigh at this time."
"Could it be possible to wait until you really can't catch up with others before sighing?" Su Mo bent his index finger and tapped "Truth" on the table.
He Nian didn't take it seriously and said: "Everyone has their own special performance, and you don't study hard, so why compare with others?"
Su Mo picked out the wick, and replied: "It's not about comparison, but about endless learning. The knowledge contained in "Truth" is so detailed that even a speck of dust can have a saying.
Even if someone marks it as a miscellaneous book, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for it. If it continues to develop, it will definitely be comparable to the current classics, and it may even have an impact on various classics. "
He pointed to the word "truth" on the cover, "In the past when we talked about truth, it was the words of saints, but now the word truth contains not only the words of saints, but everything in the world. Isn't the truth of saints also learned from the world? Yes, this "Truth" follows the way of a sage. If I don't think about making progress, I will waste all these years of reading the book."
He Nian said: "I thought you had already seen the situation clearly. Now is the time for a new day. This "Truth" is just a part of it. Go out now and see what the people eat and use. Now What you do for a living, you should know what the change of the times the Regent speaks of."
Su Mo recalled the appointment with Yanyunhe under the pavilion, and now the latest version of the dictionary has been compiled.
But the agreement between him and Yan Yunhe has not stopped yet, the dictionary is under preparation, the workload of this is much larger than that of the dictionary, and it will take more than three or two years?
At that time, the regent was still young and immature, and he was forced to withdraw from the court voluntarily. Today, he is much more mature. In the early days, there were still problems with government orders. Now he is the same in the court, and his reputation among the people is exactly the same. At the height of the sun, this is another layer of Su Mo's hidden worry.
He didn't know how Yan Yunhe twisted the court up and down, but when his personal reputation surpassed the emperor's, it was undoubtedly a time of turmoil in the court. I don't know if the regent is aware of this, but I just hope he doesn't forget his own. original intention.
Of course, Yan Yunhe never forgot what he was going to do. It was the dead of night, and he opened the message area again, looking for the message from his junior.
Soon he found his goal, "Encyclopedia of Poultry Breeding".
Over the years, he has devoted himself to filling people's stomachs. Now wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes have been promoted. After enriching the staple food, it is time to add color to the recipes for the people.
The first farm is already under construction, and of course the preparations must be done well. During the day, he is entangled in various things, and only at night is he free to copy them.
This year's autumn harvest has just passed, and the grain production in various places will be reported in a few days. Judging from the experience of the past two years, this year's production will definitely hit a new high.
But at the same time, food prices will also be at historical lows, which is definitely not good news for farmers.
Therefore, the next step is to solve this problem and improve the living standards of the people. In addition, tax revenue should also be reduced.
Since ancient times, there are only exorbitant taxes that go up, how can there be a court that actively lowers taxes?He just slipped a little bit, and many people rushed to object.
It's nothing more than touching their cake, but Yan Yunhe's determination to reform the tax system is also unstoppable, and he is currently in a stage of tension between the two sides.
Yan Yunhe had seen many officials these days, and it took him some time to deal with it. Therefore, at this stage, he only wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
After the morning meeting the next day, various ministers plus the left and right ministers and Yan Yunhe gathered together, and Yan Yunhe also formally proposed the idea of reforming the tax system at this small court meeting.
The household department was in charge of this matter, and Shang Shu Zou Jintong had no choice but to say: "The confidant of the prince who cares about the people is also grateful, but our court's expenditure has increased a lot in recent years, and the reduction of taxes may not make ends meet."
In the past three years, countless cement factories have been built in various places. The road construction alone has cost almost half of the tax revenue of the Ministry of Households, and there are other miscellaneous new projects. What are the benefits of lower taxes?
Yan Yunhe said: "In recent years, the output of several new grains has repeatedly hit new highs, leading to frequent drops in grain prices, and low grain prices hurt farmers. We must solve this problem.
Therefore, Guzheng plans to prepare a grain processing factory and build a Dazheng grain depot, so that the imperial court can purchase the grain from the common people and control the price of grain. "
Several ministers were shocked, and Zou Jin said, "The prince wants to punish the grain merchants?"
Yan Yunhe said: "It's another thing to talk about rectification. Gu just wants to build a national granary. What's wrong with that? Are you willing to hand over the lifeblood of Dazheng's life to a profit-seeking businessman?"
"Then the prince said to control the price of food, is there any specific regulations?" They have worked with the regent in the past few years, and they have long been accustomed to come up with a plan or a feasibility report when doing something. Taxation is the key to the country. It is a big event, and I believe that the regent will be no exception this time.
Yan Yunhe didn't come up with any plan, but only summarized two sentences: "Controlling the price of grain is nothing more than buying grain from the people at a reasonable price when the price of grain is too low. When the price of grain is too high, Then sell the grain at a low price and regulate the grain market so that no matter how high or low the grain is, the common people can afford it.”
This kind of market adjustment method is the most basic. There have been open warehouses to release grain before, but this is the first time someone has proposed that such a loss-making thing should be done, which is surprising.
"Is this a matter for the imperial court to handle merchants?" Fu Chengmiao, Minister of Rites, frowned and questioned.
Yan Yunhedao: "How can regulating the market be simply summed up in the four words "business matters"?Mr. Zou, can you hear the energy contained in what Gu said just now? "
The Ministry of Households is the department that deals most with money and food. When Yan Yunhe first mentioned this idea, he already understood Yan Yunhe's idea. It has to be said that this idea is very bold and risky.
Comrade Zou Jin said: "If Dazheng is used as a chessboard, the prince's idea will undoubtedly become the hand that holds the chess, but excuse me, our imperial court is not rich, and this hand cannot hold chess unless it is a rich family. "
Yan Yunhe agreed: "Therefore, Gu also proposed to build a grain processing factory. On the one hand, it will not cause hoarding of old grains, and on the other hand, it can also open up new sources of income. In the past three years, Dazheng has built a flat road that runs through the north and south. It is time for the goods to The circulation is up, and as long as it moves, there will be a steady stream of wealth accumulation.”
He turned to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and asked: "Master Qi, I heard that the tires are already finished, when can I take Gu to see them?"
Qi Yangshu hurriedly said: "You can do it at any time. The finished product this time can still run after three months. The wear and tear is not serious. I believe it can meet the prince's requirements."
