I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 895
Behind all these incidents, there is a faint figure of Wang Yun.

As for why Wang Yun wanted to kill Dong Zhuo later, it was probably because Dong Zhuo was too perverse, but also had the intention of seizing the power of the government!
Of course Zheng Xiaoming couldn't keep this kind of person who had a deep relationship with Dong Zhuo.

He directly regarded Wang Yun as Yuan Kui's party, and together with the Yuan family, he enacted the canonical punishment.

At the same time, Zheng Xiaoming asked Huangfu Song to kill Dong Zhuo in the name of the court.

However, a few days later, Dong Zhuo, who fled into the pass, was killed by troops sent by Huangfu Song, and his head was sent to Luoyang.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaoming finally felt relieved.Huangfusong's attitude shows that he will not rebel.

Now what Zheng Xiaoming is most afraid of is the Huangfu Yizhen who leads the army in Guanzhong!
Once Huangfu Yi really had other thoughts, he mobilized the army to fight Zheng Xiaoming in Luoyang.Although Zheng Xiaoming is not afraid, he also knows that this battle will never be easy!
Facts have proved that Zheng Xiaoming is simply unfounded.

In the history of the original time and space, Huangfusong has always been the center of awe.Don't dare to obey the orders of whoever controls the central power.Probably because he wanted to keep his name behind him.

So that after Dong Zhuo took power in Luoyang, he asked Huangfusong to hand over military power, and Huangfusong obediently handed over power.

Even later, he was sent to prison by Dong Zhuo. Although he was rescued by his son, he had to worship Dong Zhuo in public, and he lost all face in his life.

Of course, in the end, after Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun asked Huangfusong to lead troops to copy Dong Zhuo's hometown.Huangfusong killed Dong Zhuo's family completely, even the eighty-year-old mother, that's another matter!
In short, this Huangfu Song Huangfu Yizhen only obeys the orders of the center, and now Zheng Xiaoming occupies the center and wants to kill Dong Zhuo.Huangfu Song naturally sent Dong Zhuo's head to show his loyalty to the court.

Zheng Xiaoming was very satisfied with this, because at this time Huangfusong was only General Zuo, and Zheng Xiaoming promoted him to General Chariot and Cavalry.To reward!
At the same time, Zheng Xiaoming began to rectify Luoyang's government and military affairs.The snowflake-like recruitment flew towards the counties and states all over the world.

Celebrities from all over the world received recruitment letters one after another.After most of the consideration, he still came to Luoyang to serve the imperial court.

Of course, there are still a small number of people who either have no intention of being an official, or who are dissatisfied with Yuan's party and Zheng Xiaoming and refuse to come to Luoyang.

Zheng Xiaoming was not reluctant, and began to rectify the government.

The first thing he faced was the situation of lack of money and food...

Since General He Jin was killed, the situation in Luoyang has changed.Many local officials have already begun to have different intentions, sitting on the sidelines, and the tax, money and food sent to Luoyang have begun to be delayed, or even not sent.

This is also the reason why Dong Zhuo was forced to issue small coins later, and even asked the sergeants to excavate the emperor's tomb to collect money and treasures!
In the original historical time and space, when Dong Zhuo was in power, there was a period of time when he sincerely wanted to do something well.During that time, he used celebrities with courtesy and managed the government with his heart.

But the place was disobedient, and there were a lot of people making trouble in the court.Yuan Kui and his two nephews, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, opposed him everywhere from the center to the local area.

With all kinds of constraints, a martial artist like Dong Zhuo quickly lost his patience, and he simply smashed it.

In addition, there is no money and food to maintain the soldiers and horses under them, so they simply let these soldiers and horses go looting by themselves, and even steal the emperor's tomb.

Now, Zheng Xiaoming is facing Dong Zhuo's situation!
But what Zheng Xiaoming is better than Dong Zhuo is that he still has Xuzhou as his base, and he controls the wealthy Qingzhou and Yuzhou, plus the support of Jingzhou.

Most of the most affluent places in the Eastern Han Dynasty were under his control.

So it can barely maintain it for the time being, but it is difficult for the troops who followed him to Luoyang to maintain it.

Fortunately, the Eastern Han Dynasty originally had a recruitment system. When fighting, soldiers were recruited.Disbanded and returned home after the war.

This is already a common practice, and it's not like Zheng Xiaoming crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

However, before disbanding these troops, the military salaries of more than [-] troops must be paid in full, and there will even be a bonus at the end.

This is a huge amount, at least hundreds of millions of dollars are needed.

Zheng Xiaoming took the opportunity to reduce court expenses and limited the number of eunuchs in the inner palace to two hundred.

While raising money and food from all aspects to pay these soldiers as severance pay.

Of course, Zheng Xiaoming can also play hooligans and dismiss him directly without giving money.It's just that this kind of thing will only bankrupt his political reputation.

Next time if you want to use soldiers, it will be difficult for those who want to recruit soldiers!
So even if Zheng Xiaoming sold all his underwear, he still had to make up enough money.

The money of these soldiers is indispensable, but the rewards for those officers and the like, are much more convenient.

Just appoint an official position directly!

A group of middle and low-level military officers who followed him into Luoyang were appointed by Zheng Xiaoming as local military officers, BR county lieutenants, robbers, pavilion chiefs, etc. in all states in the world.

These military officers who followed Zheng Xiaoming to make a fortune will naturally become the basis for maintaining Zheng Xiaoming's rule when they go to the place.

In the case of lack of money, Zheng Xiaoming made a plan, and re-introduced the government-operated policy of salt and iron, and brought Hadong Yanchi back to the court.Conduct salt and iron monopoly!
During the time of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was able to raise an army of [-] and fight against the Huns for a long time.A big reason is to monopolize the sale and purchase of salt and iron and carry out official operations.

The quality of this salt and iron official seal must be very poor, and the efficiency is very low.But it can generate a lot of income for the court.

This is an indirect collection of taxes from the people, and the resentment and dissatisfaction will be much less.

The Eastern Han Dynasty had abolished the policy of salt and iron official camps... er, not the abolition of salt officials and iron officials.

In fact, the government continued to run these businesses.

However, it opened the door to the people and allowed them to privately operate.

To put it bluntly, local clans are allowed to get involved in these industries.

Because Xiaomin's family can't play with these high-tech at this time... It's still a large-scale enterprise!
As we all know, in a fully competitive industry, the government-run industry will definitely not be able to compete with the private sector.

This also reduced the court's salt and iron income.

Otherwise, the finances of the Eastern Han Dynasty would not be so difficult!
Now, Zheng Xiaoming intends to restore the government monopoly on salt and iron business, and prohibit private operation of salt and iron business.

No, in other words, he intends to let go of private operations in the iron smelting industry.And completely monopolize the government's monopoly on the salt industry.

Because with the continuous diffusion of technology, the folks have more and more control over the iron smelting industry.What's more, Zheng Xiaoming also hopes that these people can improve iron smelting technology.

This kind of thing must be more energetic among the folks!
And because the origin of table salt is easy to control, it must be firmly grasped in the hands.

We all know how big the profit of the salt monopoly is!
From later generations until the Qing Dynasty, the salt monopoly was still an important fiscal revenue for the country.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaoming is going to grab the salt and put the iron in it.

Although this will face considerable resistance, it is better than other reforms.

Of course, other reforms are certainly needed.But it's time to wait until later!
