Cannon Fodder's Humanoid Plug-in

From nerd to emperor

Restructuring, it seems very simple to say.

However, if it really wants to be realized, there are always various resistances.

Aristocratic families and merchants have worked hard for many years, and finally established a foundation. How can it be so easy to be slaughtered casually?

Don't you see that in the past dynasties, among those old countries that made drastic changes in the system and reform, which one did not collapse in the middle way, or even directly destroy the country?

Then why did the old emperor insist on reforming the system?

——The good thing about the Jing Dynasty is that the founding of the country is not too long, and it has only experienced the second emperor until now.

No matter how much a building on a tall building is eaten away by termites and becomes decayed, it is still a behemoth.

As long as the foundation is not damaged and those termites are removed, the building can still stand and even glow with new vitality.

During the days when Yanchen taught the little prince the water control policy, the emperor, the royalist party and his subordinates had already paved the way for the reform.

Now the most joyful dancers in the court, one is King Anwu who holds the military power, and the other is the third prince who has the support of the right minister.

King Anwu had troops stationed at the frontier, and it was too late to stop the reform.

The Right Prime Minister behind the third prince and Concubine Min's mother's family are all extremely rich, and they are the main targets this time.

Comparing the industries of these two companies, the emperor joined forces with the Royalist Party and started a price war with each other.

Whatever you sell, I will lower the price of something.

The drop is not much, but it is always a little cheaper than you!

So who will the customer buy from?

After half a month, the royalists even made a small fortune, and their confidence swelled.

Officials and businessmen are not vegetarians either. After discovering that someone was making trouble, some of them were silent, and some of them fell into the trap.

The two largest ones are even more generous, directly buying countless raw materials at high prices, trying to solve the problem from the root.

then--

On the fourth day of May, the emperor came up in the early morning, and asked people to send a small book to each of the ministers.

The Prime Minister on the right opened it and took a look: improving the imperial examination system for business registration will make it difficult for businessmen to become officials.Raise taxes on some goods...

Well, a large part of these commodities overlap with those operated by his shop.

The right minister's eyes are like copper bells, and his old hands are trembling.

He was so angry that the muscles in his neck were criss-crossed, he closed the book with the details of the restructuring, and reopened it.

After looking carefully for a long time, Prime Minister You could see the words between the words.

There is no need to change the system, it is clear that there are four words written all over the book to "eliminate dissidents"! ①

The right minister took a deep breath, and the other officials in the DPRK and China were not much better.

Soon, someone plopped and knelt down, crying and begging: "Your Majesty, think twice!!"

The right minister is not so naive.

Reform, if it is an ordinary reform, the emperor should first get it to the court, discuss it with the ministers, and then slowly implement it.

Now in this book, the elements are complete and full of details. The old emperor is obviously determined to use the knife.

Sure enough, the old emperor didn't change his expression when facing the minister who was knocking his head loudly, ordered the guards to force him up, and announced his downfall.

Someone wiped their foreheads just now, and they are ready to perform skittles.

Once the emperor left, the stage collapsed.

The royalist party went back to their homes indifferently, leaving the rest of the ministers looking at each other in blank dismay: what should we do?

Don't wait for them to come up with one, two, three.

This series of decrees flew all over the capital like wings, and spread to various places at a terrifying speed.

No matter which dynasty you are in, if you chop capitalists with knives, ordinary people can only applaud.

It is the same today.

The increase in business tax may suppress the prices of raw materials for many merchants.

The emperor added regulations to this: Once the price of some raw materials rises or falls by more than a certain amount, the common people can go to the government to report, and there will be rewards for reporting.

From now on, Shangji can only directly take the entrance examination for children. If you want to continue to take the entrance examination for scholar, you need to pass the special assessment, and the academy has to randomly select teachers and classmates to evaluate it...

Anyone who bribes or cheats is also welcome to report, and there will be rewards for reporting.

In addition, although the business registration is restricted, the household registration has the opportunity to be converted into a good registration, for example, to make outstanding contributions in a certain area...

——This is the plan given by Yanchen: In ancient times, science and engineering were backward, and merchants had more spare money than ordinary people to fiddle with these things.

Although the world is as dark as crows, conscientious merchants are not extinct, and the roads can't be so blocked.

To the top officials and businessmen, it was as if they were being tortured by Ling Chi.

The key is that every cut seems to be stepping on their bottom line, and the roc spreads its wings.

Whether it is the increased business tax, or the road to the top that is not closed.

——Of course, except for some people who hoarded raw materials at high prices before.

Regarding this, the emperor said: I have to thank the elder sister of Yan Xiuzhuan.

Without the data she provided, the depth cut by this knife would definitely not be as accurate as it is now.

So in the end, the result of the reformation became:

Top officials and businessmen wailed at the loss-making books.

The middle-level staff look to the future with melancholy.

The lower classes should eat and drink, and even many people were inspired by it and began to try new paths.

The turmoil lasted for more than half a month.

Almost every morning, there are people who want to force the emperor to take back his order.

However, the old emperor, who had been content with being conservative almost all his life, was particularly stubborn this time.

If you don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.

The only thing he responded to was one thing: "The changes to the imperial examination system for business registration will be supplemented in the future, and it is only a trial implementation now."

This is also what Yan Chen thought about early in the morning:

Instead of worrying about whether businessmen will bribe or cheat after figuring out the rules, it is better to lay the foundation for fine-tuning every once in a while so that they can get used to this flexible and changeable system as soon as possible.

Simply put, it makes them want to cheat and they don't know how to do it :).

Adding this news is also to reassure the people at the bottom - it has little to do with the problems of officials of various departments in the DPRK and China.

The officials became even more angry.

Especially the right minister, his family is also a member of hoarding raw materials, and this time he suffered a heavy loss.

After finally getting relieved, he was about to make trouble for the old emperor.

As a result, the next day, the servant of the Ministry of punishment wrote a letter.

Two of the Three Princes' faction and one of the Anwu King's faction, a total of three ministers were found to be corrupt and plundering people's fat.

The emperor didn't fly into a rage, or even raised his eyebrows, and quickly ordered the house to be ransacked.

If it were said that he didn't know what he was doing early in the morning, the others wouldn't believe it.

The emperor has implemented benevolent government for decades, and once he showed his fierce minions.

The courtiers who were carried away before, just now know what regret is.

The heads of several chickens that were used to scare monkeys fell to the ground, and the ministers who had opposed it before fell silent and trembling, fearing that they would be the next one to be unlucky.

In this way, a month passed.

The New Deal is a foregone conclusion, and the morning light shines on the earth.

Today happened to be the Great Court Meeting.

Yan Chen put on his official uniform, wearing a plaque, and walked up to the court after a group of courtiers.

Honglu Temple officials led them into the hall.

The emperor sat on the dark golden dragon chair, and the little prince was beside him, both of them were in court clothes.

All the officials saluted.

After the ceremony, the emperor said first: "I feel that the implementation of the New Deal is not easy, and I want to reward the ministers."

Prime Minister on the right cursed secretly, followed by all the officials nodding.

So the old emperor sat on the dragon chair and began to promote officials one by one.

Yan Chen stood bored, looked around, and unexpectedly met a familiar face.

Standing not far away, Shi Huaiguang was overjoyed when he was promoted to the Ministry of Punishment just after he received the seal.

When Yan Chen saw him, he subconsciously raised his hand, as if wanting to say hello, but quickly suppressed it and withdrew his arm.

To Yanchen's surprise, besides Shi Huaiguang, another person also received the award.

The son of Shunyuan, Chang Huai'an.

He recalled it for a while before he remembered: Duke Huai also held military power, his rank was slightly lower than that of King Anwu, and he was a royalist.

As the son of Duke Huai, Chang Huai'an was indeed on the prince's side on the surface at this time.

After walking away for a while, Yan Chen soon heard his name.

"The Hanlin Academy edited and wrote Yanchen, and sealed it as the second-rank prince's young teacher..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, all the ministers stared wide-eyed, looking in the crowd, which one is this Yan Xiuzhuan?

The editor is from the sixth rank, and suddenly promoted to the second rank of the prince's master, is this still worth it? ?

One must know that even the servant of the Ministry of Punishment has been promoted from the third rank to the second rank!

Who is the sacred author of this Hanlin Academy?

The others were still looking, but Wei Xitang was standing not far behind Yan Chen.

His eyes were red, he was so angry that he wished he could breathe fire on the spot, and stared at Yan Chen's back: Why should he be named Yan? !

Wei Xitang could only feel impotent and furious in his heart, while some people saw it more clearly.

The group of people promoted by the emperor, except for a few bastards who deceived others, are obviously people who have made outstanding contributions to this reform.

However, even the servant of the Ministry of Punishment did not have the same surname as Yan, who could jump as high.

Why else?

——The questions of the imperial examination are still vivid, and many people have read Yan Chen's test paper.

Both the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites were close to the emperor.

But it's not that there are no trash like Wei Xitang, or big mouths that can't keep secrets.

Many people have the impression of Yan Chen's name.

When he calmly walked out from among the officials to thank him, more people would think of it:

This, isn't it this year's top student in high school who is the top student in the new department?

The violent family raids a few days ago are still vivid in my memory, and for a while, no one stepped forward to interrupt the emperor.

After Yan Chen thanked him, he returned to the emperor's side and smiled at the little crown prince who frowned at him, then walked back to the queue.

Wait until the emperor confers rewards.

The section of "playing things" started, and only then did someone bow and walk out: "Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

This is an old official who is over half a century old, with peacocks embroidered on his red robe, and a pair of old triangular eyes staring at Yan Chen involuntarily:

"Your Majesty, I think that Yan Xiuzhuan is young and has little experience, so he is not good enough to take on the important task of educating the prince."

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to say!"

Several people came forward one after another: "Your Majesty, Yan Xiuzhuan was conferred by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only at the beginning of the year. As far as I know, he hardly made any achievements during his tenure in the Imperial Academy."

"Your majesty, you appointed him as a young teacher, this, this is unreasonable!"

You waited for a long time, but didn't see them talking about the point, and secretly reprimanded them as trash.

He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also have something to play."

The old emperor glanced at him coldly: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty." The Prime Minister on the right pointed at Yan Chen: "The old minister dared to guess that the Emperor just listened to Yan Xiu's suggestion for this restructuring."

"Yanxiu's answers to the imperial examinations were written by the old officials who admired them."

"Now the whole country is in chaos. As a son of a merchant, this son scolded the merchant during the palace examination. This is an act of grandstanding and unfilial piety!"

The right minister is determined to regard the restructuring as a failed reform.

He did read Yan Chen's answer, but because it was not written in detail, and Yan Chen was busy with cotton before, he didn't pay attention to it.

Unexpectedly, a mistake would cause eternal hatred.

Prime Minister on the right glared at Yan Chen angrily.

Apart from him, there are many ministers who don't know about this matter, and they all stood up after hearing the words: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

"Your majesty, I do not agree with this matter! The reform proposed by Yan Xiuzhuan has shaken the foundation of the country..."

A group of courtiers uttered their voices one after another, the prince couldn't sit still, he looked worriedly at the emperor, then at Yan Chen.

The old emperor sat on the dragon chair calmly.

He didn't answer the words either, just waited for each person who sang against him to say something, and he had nothing to say.

Only then did the old emperor chuckle: "All my loves, you have misunderstood."

What does this mean?Pairs of eyes stared at him hesitantly, and he suddenly turned cold:

"Restructuring is what I want to do."

"Why do you think that this matter has something to do with Yan Aiqing?"

"Even if there is, Yan Aiqing still obeys me and offers her advice to solve my problems."

"The courtier obeys the king's order and does what he should do."

"Could it be that all the loves think that this is wrong?"

"what?"

The old emperor questioned loudly, the blue veins at the back of the ears were bulging between the neck, and the majestic eyes were carrying a trace of sullenness, and he patrolled his courtiers coldly.

The air in the hall seemed to be frozen.

The prime minister on the right avoided the old emperor's sight, and the rest of the ministers bowed their heads and knelt on their knees, with cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.

At this time, Yan Chen stood up.

In the deathly silence, his movements were particularly conspicuous, as soon as Fang took two steps, countless gazes were projected over him.

After seeing the expressions on the faces of the young officials, these people were taken aback.

Yan Chen was concerned first: "The emperor calm down!"

Then his face was full of emotion: "The emperor is right, it is the bounden duty of our subjects to eat the king's salary and share the king's worries."

"The ancestors said: Heaven and earth are united, all things are born, and the monarch and ministers are in harmony, so the country is peaceful. The emperor remembers the merits of the ministers and others, and rewards them, which is the proof of the emperor's benevolence!"②

"The ministers are grateful, and will not slack off in the future, and behave as a minister."

The right minister couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

We are all protesting that you are not worthy of being a junior teacher. Is it useful for you to express your sincerity at this time?

If you have the ability, let's talk about it together!

However, the ministers soon discovered that this Yan Xiuzhuan seemed to be really moved by the emperor's protection of him, so he came out to express his emotion.

After finishing speaking, he even nodded and smiled at them, and stood back again.

Just now, he looked like he hadn't woken up, but now he looked as if he had been injected with chicken blood, with an expression of "the emperor is so kind to me, I want to work hard and share the emperor's worries".

Ministers: "..."

Is this person out of his mind?

The enemy was too weak, and the minister who opposed it just slandered a few words in his heart, and was about to ignore this paragraph and strike while the iron was hot.

Xiang Zuo walked out slowly.

As an old antique, he said he was a royalist party rather than a neutral party, and generally he would not stand in line.

However, at this moment, he stood up.

Alarm bells rang in the right side's heart.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Zuo was speaking to Yan Xiuzhuan: "Everyone should be a virtuous person, Master Yan, although he is young, his talent is outstanding, and he has learned about the past and the present."

"The veteran thinks that Young Master Yan is fully worthy of the position of Young Master."

"I think so too!"

Another royalist party stood up: "Young Master Yan is a man of integrity and integrity, with his teachings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely excel!"

"Cough, cough," Yan Chen pressed his fist to his lips, not sure if he was coughing or laughing, "Everyone is absurd."

As soon as he was humble, he ushered in a new wave of praise.

This wasn't an entrustment arranged by the emperor in advance, it's just that Yan Chen made contact with these people before making a new policy.

They also knew something about his temperament.

Including Shi Huaiguang, what they said for Yan Chen was from the bottom of their hearts.

The smiles of the officials represented by the right prime minister gradually disappeared: After working together for a long time, they are the only bad people, right?

A small editor surnamed Yan, why do so many people talk to him? !

A group of officials were very angry, but the situation has already collapsed.Of course, the emperor did not accept the rebuttal, and waved his hand to ask if there was anything else to do, and then retreated.

After the court, Shi Huaiguang caught up with Yan Chen.

It was only then that Yan Chen learned that after Shi Huai Guangwu got a good grade in the test, he worked under the former servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

It can be regarded as taking off with the east wind.

Shi Huaiguang didn't know much about the restructuring, so he naturally didn't know that he was the one who proposed this policy.

The other party just congratulated him on becoming the prince's junior teacher, and then reminded him: "I see that the right side is a little hostile to you. You must be careful in your actions in the future."

"Especially when you go to court, if you can keep quiet, don't talk."

After entering the Ministry of Punishment, Shi Huaiguang calmed down instead.

Yan Chen thanked him for sharing the secret, and returned to Zhuangyuan Mansion to wait for the imperial decree from the official.

Along with it, there are new court clothes.

Crimson, with a golden pheasant embroidered on it.

Seeing that he sent the eunuch away, Wang Ji frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, is there anything wrong with this official uniform?"

Yan Chen shook his head: "It's nothing."

I can't tell Wang Ji that he thinks the golden pheasant is a bit ugly, but the white crane is more in line with his temperament, right?

Not proper, not proper.

After Yan Chen skipped a grade and was named a junior teacher, some people were happy while others were worried.

Of course the crown prince is the one who is happy, but he has been looking forward to Yan Chen being his grand teacher, and he has been looking forward to it for a long time!

Those who are worried are Wei Xitang, who overturned a table of jade chess when he returned home the same day.

Others secretly remembered the name Yan Chen, and blamed him and the emperor for the losses they suffered during the restructuring.

But for the time being, they haven't been able to find an opportunity or an excuse to remove Yan Chen from his position as a young master.

The so-called giving a sweet date with a stick, happened to be the Empress Dowager's birthday not long after the restructuring turmoil.

The emperor ordered to celebrate with all the people and amnesty the world.

The officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who could be seen from time to time on the street also temporarily stopped.

The emperor's move is tantamount to telling them:

The opportunity to survive by docking the tail, I put it here, if you are sensible, turn yourself in, I don't have to absolve you of the crime.

For a while, those who pay taxes pay taxes, and those who give benefits to the people get benefits.

The common people can be regarded as truly understanding what it means to "celebrate with all peoples".

The money from the previous house raids was also sent to Jiangyou early, successfully making up for the funding loophole for the dam repair.

The dam on the right side of the river was repaired, and a new canal was dug. From then on, the flood on the right side of the river was not to be feared. The prince wrote a letter to commend the young teacher.

The emperor was overjoyed, and made Young Master Yan the Grand Master.

Ministers: "..."

I don't know why, but I suddenly had a thought of "No wonder I didn't directly confer the Grand Master before, so I was waiting here".

bah bah bah!

In mid-June, the Empress Dowager's birthday finally kicked off.

In the morning of the banquet, all civil and military officials all wore court clothes and presented congratulatory gifts to the Empress Dowager.After that, the eunuchs sang the list of gifts from merchants from all over the country.

Gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin flow from one end of the hall to the other like flowing water.

Yan Chen stood behind the prince, narrowing his eyes slightly under the strong sunlight.The white crane on the crimson robe is stepping on the auspicious clouds, which sets off his ethereal aura.

Finally, Yan Chen saw Yan Lingchuan's figure.

Thank the little prince, otherwise he would have clairvoyance, and his eyes would not be able to see through the crowds of people and see the people around Yan Lingchuan clearly.

Wen Luoqing?

Two women walked side by side, holding a wooden tray in each hand.After glancing at Yan Chen who was sitting behind the crown prince, he saluted and presented the cloth to the empress dowager.

Yan Lingchuan held brocade in his hand: "This brocade is woven with silk and gold threads. It is so named because it is as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. It matches the empress dowager. I hereby offer a tribute."

Both the first emperor and the emperor were frugal, and there were not many brocades in the palace.

However, which woman does not like good-looking things?

The empress dowager nodded happily.

The old emperor looked at Wen Luoqing and frowned slightly: "What cloth is that in your hand?"

Wen Luoqing suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took a step forward: "Return to the emperor, this is an improved cotton cloth!"

She specifically asked Yan Lingchuan to let her take the cotton cloth, just for this moment, Wen Luoqing couldn't wait to introduce: "Cotton cloth is made of cotton, after improvement, it is not only softer and more comfortable, but also the cost is extremely low... Once cotton becomes popular, Everyone can afford it!"

Xu Shi was too excited, her words were half in vain, which made the Empress Dowager frown somewhat in surprise.

The emperor was very happy, subconsciously glanced at Yan Chen who was sitting down, and asked, "Is this true? Can ordinary people afford it?"

Wen Luoqing nodded firmly: "Exactly!"

"Okay, okay." The old emperor clapped his hands and laughed, and asked the names of the two—he had been distracted just now and didn't pay attention to listen.

"Minister Wen Luoqing."

"Minister Yan Lingchuan."

The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, it was indeed Yan Aiqing's elder sister.

Yan Aiqing said before that his elder sister was trying to improve cotton cloth.

The one next to her is their maid?He looks good, but his manners are bad.

The old emperor waved his hand: "Not bad!" A series of awards followed.

The plaque of the imperial pen, the new weaving shop, which only sells cotton cloth, cotton clothes, and quilts... Yan Lingchuan, she has become an imperial merchant!

Wen Luoqing's heart beat faster, and his palms were sweating.

She looked longingly at the emperor, waiting for him to reward her in the same way.

However, after the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Seeing this, the eunuch next to the empress dowager sang loudly: "Next!"

No, wait, isn't that right? ?Wen Luoqing's mind went blank, why?

She raised her head abruptly to call for a stop, but her eyes fell to the cold light on the waist of the guard with a knife under the sun.

The sound of life-like footsteps approaching behind him, Yan Lingchuan looked over strangely, gently held her hand, and pushed her forward.

Wen Luoqing was powerless to resist and left the front of the hall.

She bit her lower lip with a circle of marks, and she couldn't help shedding tears when she left the palace.

Yan Lingchuan was about to comfort her, so someone came to invite her to attend the palace banquet in the afternoon - since she was granted an imperial merchant and the sister of a minister in the court, she could naturally go to this palace banquet.

Wen Luoqing was impressed and followed her.

However, at the palace banquet, the male and female relatives are seated separately.

Yan Lingchuan was accosted by a group of officials and ladies whom he didn't recognize, and he couldn't see his younger brother, so he was very annoyed.

After the Empress Dowager had spoken and left, she also said she was unwell and planned to leave.

Wen Luoqing was also very regretful, this palace banquet was useless.

The banquet of the officials is just opposite, and the emperor is also in it, but so what?She can't even get in.

Mo Xiang remembers the road and walks ahead to lead them away.

The three of them hadn't left the hustle and bustle of the palace banquet behind when Mo Xiang bumped into one person—it was the other person who was wearing black clothes, and the surrounding was pitch black, so she didn't see it.

Mo Xiang took two steps back, bowed in fear and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Wen Luoqing saw the face of the visitor, and immediately lowered his head to hide behind Yan Lingchuan, but the other party had already seen her.

"Miss Wen." Chang Huai'an smiled slightly: "Long time no see."

The author says:

①Everyone understands, Brother Xun;

②When the heaven and the earth unite, all things will prosper; when the monarch and ministers unite, the country will be peaceful.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
