Chapter 99: The tree falls and the hozen scatters
To judge whether a person is guilty or not, it can only be judged by the law recognized by the whole people.
Determining whether a person is a good person can only be measured by morality.
To judge whether a society is good or not, it depends on whether the rights of a few people are protected.
As for whether a regime is good, one must look at its service efficiency, and the other must look at its fairness.
There is no doubt that the Lantian Dynasty cannot do the above points now.
In Yun Zhao's view, the laws of the Lantian Dynasty are undoubtedly full of loopholes, and the government of the Lantian Dynasty is undoubtedly old and corrupt. However, he can only do this, at least to ensure that interests of the majority.
We did not let the Lantian Dynasty become a tool for a small number of people to exploit the majority of people.
The current policies of the Lantian Dynasty are very unfriendly to the rich, but they are very beneficial to the newly emerging wealthy households. However, after these people become super rich, they will immediately There are many shackles around their necks.
It is almost certain that people with greater abilities are more dangerous and more ambitious.
When encountering such a person, the court must break up this small dynasty like a giant. The more piecemeal it is, the better. It is best to evenly distribute the wealth among a safe control line. Inside.
Otherwise, even vegetarian animals will try to eat meat after they grow into giants.
Yun Zhao hates people like Lu Buwei very much, and also hates people who want to grab more power just because they have more money.
If a businessman is unwilling to give up his wealth and completely enter the political world, then he should not be tainted with government affairs. He must not be tainted with any government affairs. He must be an ordinary citizen who accepts the jurisdiction of the district chief.
In fact, the attitude towards the super rich has been like this in all dynasties. It can even be said that it has been like this at all times and in all countries. From Shi Chong in ancient times to Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is a little bit of concern for power, Interest, what awaits them is the emperor's shining butcher knife.
He did this with confidence.
Because no matter how wealthy the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were, they had to stay in the Ming Dynasty. As for the transfer of property to other countries, it is almost impossible to happen. If it happened... this would be very important to the Supervision Department under the Ming Dynasty. Said it was an excellent opportunity to make a fortune.
In fact, where can the rich go?
For now, the only place to choose is - Japan!
The problem is that the Japanese shogunate also lived in fear under the shadow of the emperor Yun Zhao.
The Ming Dynasty's foreign policy is obviously not very friendly, and it has always been simple and crude in dealing with affairs with the neighboring countries. In many cases, the neighboring countries disappear while dealing with them.
This is the case in Mongolia, the Qing Dynasty, North Korea, Annan, and even the distant Junggar and Manlaga.
WhereTherefore, the Ming Dynasty was very simple when dealing with outsiders. It had rich experience in destroying the country, so much so that the heroes who launched the war to destroy the country were not even qualified to be praised by the emperor after returning to the country.
Only the Ministry of War and the Department of Civil Affairs will record it on their resumes. If the country being wiped out is larger, it may be published in the "Lantian Daily" and nothing else.
The most difficult things to deal with are all at home.
The main reason is that the army cannot be used when dealing with domestic affairs, and team training cannot be used. Only in the most extreme cases will the police be dispatched!
That’s how people are. Guns are always more convincing than words.
Changes in the nature of the imperial court's structure naturally had to go through the congress. Yun Zhao talked with these people first to prevent them from adapting. After all, it was much more comfortable to be an old bureaucrat than a new official.
Fortunately, the fire in these people's hearts has not been extinguished. After mobilizing their emotions, it is easy to make certain changes.
The person who has changed the best is undoubtedly Qian Duoduo!
Yun Zhao is about to fall in love with this wife who is sometimes stupid, sometimes tricky, sometimes ignorant, and sometimes unreasonable.
When she learned that her husband was worried about the falling food prices in the world, she took the initiative to summon all the available forces under her command and began to consume food crazily.
The self-combed women in Hunan and Hubei have long since become famous merchants in the Ming Dynasty, playing an important role in textiles, embroidery, and breeding.
With Qian Duoduo’s order, these unwanted women in the past acted quickly and made a decision within a month to expand their breeding farm more than ten times. For a time, Hunan , Hubei's corn, sweet potatoes, millet, potatoes, and other crops that can be used as feed prices have increased by more than 30%.
The reason why they did this was purely because Qian Duoduo placed a huge sausage order with them.
Similarly, under the instigation of Qian Duoduo, breweries all over the world have also begun to stockpile grain. The grain they hoard is not for eating, but for making wine.
Of course, businessmen are all driven by profit. The only reason why they take the initiative to raise food prices and increase costs for themselves is that they want to use more money to influence His Majesty the Emperor and completely open up. Brewing Management Regulations.
In this regulation, there is an upper limit on the output of the brewery when making wine. This regulation was made by the Lantian Dynasty when it first took over the world in order to prevent too much food from being used for brewing. Restrictive regulations.
Now, times have changed, and brewers hope to abolish this regulation.
To this end, they have made great efforts.
At the same time, Qian Duoduo also ordered the caravans belonging to the Yun family to try to use grain as the settlement unit when trading with people on the grassland.
What she did had a great impact on the Yun family, but when it comes to the whole worldThe world has little impact on the price of food. However, as long as Qian Duoduo does this, businessmen all over the world will follow suit and finally give His Majesty the Emperor a perfect price for food.
What makes Yun Zhao most satisfied is that the soaring price of food all comes from the market, not from government orders.
When men and women are together when they are young, it is basically the woman who accommodates the man. When they are middle-aged, it is basically the man who accommodates the woman.
So, last night, the couple had a lively exchange, and Yun Zhao performed very well...
In the morning, Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao visited together.
Yun Zhao received these two important guests in the greenhouse. Before they could exchange greetings, Zhang Guozhu and Xu Wuxiang also came.
Seeing the four people despising each other, it was destined that nothing could be discussed today.
I originally thought that the four of them would discuss the order of the conversation, but seeing the four of them competing with each other, Yun Zhao simply led the four of them to change into ordinary clothes and go to Yanjing City for a stroll.
Nowadays, there is a dispute between the Ministry of Supervision and the Prime Minister's Office, which Yun Zhao likes to see, so of course he will not act as a peacemaker between them.
Since the Ministry of Law, represented by Mr. Haizhi, has made a clear separation from the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Supervision, the only channel for communication between the Ministry of Law and the Prime Minister’s Office and the Supervision Department is through the secretary and supervisor. .
Today, the Ministry of Justice is its own system, commanding more than 96,700 judges in the Ming Dynasty. They are only immersed in the trial work of cases. They are leisurely and contented in the Ming Dynasty, and they can no longer be carefree.
Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao, the two bosses of the Supervision Department, were naturally unconvinced when they saw Mr. Haezhi living so comfortably. They also wanted to break away from the supervision of the Prime Minister's Office. , self-contained system.
When Haechi launched his attack, he caught Zhang Guozhu off guard. He thought that Mr. Haechi did this purely to clarify the independence of the law. However, when he found out that Mr. Haechi actually changed the law After all the connections between the Ministry and the Prime Minister's Office were severed, Zhang Guozhu understood what Mr. Haezhi was going to do.
Unfortunately, what he discovered was too late. After the representatives voted by a show of hands, the Ministry of Justice was completely separated from the Prime Minister's Office, and there was no longer any upper-lower control relationship.
No one is willing to give up the power in their hands, not even Zhang Guozhu. Since the separation of Fabu, people's name for Mr. Haezhi has become - Faxiang!
Under such circumstances, how can he allow the Ministry of Supervision to be separated from the Prime Minister's Office?
You must know that once the Ministry of Supervision withdraws, the Prime Minister's Office will no longer have any way to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Supervision.
The main targets of supervision by the Supervision Department are officials of all sizes in the Ming Dynasty. Losing this power will make Zhang Guozhu feel that he is completely ignored.
A prime minister’s office that can only do things will, in the future, be responsible for some important tasks.The right to speak on the occasion will be greatly reduced.
This is a power struggle. Neither Han Lingshan nor Zhang Guozhu can back down. No matter how deep the friendship between them is, they are mortal enemies at this time.
Xu Wu wanted to understand that after building the railway, he would definitely join the Prime Minister's Office as the First Deputy Prime Minister. Therefore, in this matter, he stood in the same trench as Zhang Guozhu, He has no intention of making peace with Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao.
The Yanjing City in late spring finally has something to see, mainly because there are so many locust trees planted in this city. At this moment, it is the season when the locust flowers are fragrant, and the whole city is full of flowers. They were all enveloped in a faint fragrance.
The main roads are impassable. These roads were dug everywhere by Zhang Guozhu, who also served as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Fortunately, there are small roads extending in all directions for people to pass.
Every time he went to a construction site, Yun Zhao looked at it very carefully. Judging from the site, the officials' planning was quite reasonable, and the craftsmen and laborers were also diligent in their work. This is the case for this construction. Too many people are employed on the water supply and drainage construction sites.
Zhang Guozhu saw Yun Zhao frowning and immediately said: "This is all to speed up the progress of the project."
Yun Zhao saw the food piled up in the work shed and said again: "This time Or use grain as wages?"
Xu Wu thought: "When His Majesty came to Yanjing in winter, the minister was worried that Yanjing had not enough grain, so he specially transported 500,000 tons of wheat from Shandong. , and another 500,000 tons of rice were transported through the canal.
As a result, Yun Yang, who was responsible for His Majesty's safety, refused to use the food prepared by Yanjing and brought a large amount of military rations with the army. Yanjing had too much grain, so they took advantage of the opportunity to build the city and released some." After hearing Xu Wuxiang's words, Yun Zhao smiled strangely and whispered: "Yun Yang. If I weren't suppressing them, do you think their Ministry of War would still be under the control of the Prime Minister's Office?
Let's see how long your broken window can last.
Hold on, yes. If your ability can’t stand it, that’s a sign of your lack of ability.”
