Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 706 Best of the Year Award
Now, Datang has actually been able to send people to the grasslands and reclaim the frontiers, and it is already doing it, but the movement is very small.The main reason is that too many people died at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the population of the Central Plains has not reached saturation at all. In addition, Li Zhiyun himself feels that there is no need to act too hastily, and that the people do not want to leave their homeland, which is why they did not do anything.

In border states such as Lingzhou, Shengzhou, Youzhou, Pingzhou, and Yingzhou, the imperial court was actually organizing the people to reclaim land.

However, there are not enough people.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was too hurtful.To recover, at least twenty years.As for surpassing, I am afraid it will take longer.

However, Li Zhiyun believes that he uses the grasslands as stepping stones, and implements the implementation of the division of land into acres, and sooner or later the population will increase rapidly.

If potatoes and corn can be found, the growth rate will be even faster!

But right now, it is still good to support the people honestly, so that they can come out of the trauma at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the natural disasters in those years.

If the population of the Central Plains is not large enough, it will affect the taxation of the court, which in turn will affect many aspects up and down.

After all, people are fundamental.

This is true of the grasslands, and so is the Central Plains.

This night, the emperor and empress settled their accounts overnight.Although they were very tired, the two of them were full of energy, because this was their own money!
You can spend whatever you want, without worrying about the meaning of the court ministers.

But, the more you earn, the more you spend.Because Li Zhiyun wants to engage in scientific research, it is necessary to burn money for research and development.

Cultivating craftsmen requires money, building workshops requires money, and making equipment requires money. In short, a lot of money is needed in all aspects.

For example, the artillery developed before is quite expensive.

In addition, there are other consumption and so on.

Research is really expensive.

After all, this was done by Li Zhiyun in private, without the hands of the court, so all the expenses were allocated by Li Zhiyun from internal funds.

The next day, Li Zhiyun presided over the convening of the last great court meeting in the five years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.At this court meeting, the courtiers fully affirmed His Majesty's actions this year, deeply reflected on their own problems, and reported on the work of the provinces, ministries, temples, roads, Dudufu, prefectures, and counties for a year.

Two hours later, following the impeachment of a few officials by Yushitai, they finally entered the final summary link.

Li Zhiyun got up, stroked the sword in one hand in front of the emperor's couch, and looked at the ministers of His Royal Highness.The jade pillars on the dome in the hall, the dragons and phoenixes around, and a clear pool of water, coincide with the way of Fengshui.

"In my insignificant body, I have to inherit the great rule. I have been sleeping all night long, lest I have failed the great trust of the late emperor, the expectations of the princes, and the hearts of the people. In recent years, there have been bandits outside and natural disasters inside. I have tried to think about it." In other words, is it because of my inappropriate behavior that I provoked military disasters and natural disasters, and tired my people. Now that the world is getting better, I dare not slack off a bit, and I only hope that you can join hands with me to create a prosperous world."

"The ministers are with Your Majesty." The ministers clapped wat boards one after another and bowed long.

Li Zhiyun went on to say: "In the past five years of Zhenguan, there have been many good ministers who have been my arms and managed the affairs well. After thinking about it, I decided to set up a selection award. It is called the Best Official of the Year Award. This award selection , there is no reward, only a false name. However, I will inform all states and counties of the result of the result."

Ok?
The eyes of the ministers brightened. Although there was no reward, the name can be notified to all states and counties in the world. Isn't this the biggest award?
Famous, are you afraid that your qualifications are not strong enough?
"Your Majesty's order is yours to obey."

Although the award for the best official of the year sounds weird, but after careful consideration, it is quite straightforward, even ordinary people can understand it.

What is the best?
The best is the best!
Doesn't winning this award mean that he is the minister with the best performance this year?

Heartbeat, must heartbeat!
Don't you just use the picture name now? Who would give up such a good opportunity to become famous?

Yang Gongren asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to select."

To be honest, he felt that this so-called 'Best Official of the Year Award' was probably a product of His Majesty's whimsy, and it had no practical significance.However, he thinks this kind of verbal reward is not bad, mainly because it doesn't take much effort.

"This year, the ministers in the palace will vote by secret ballot, and the one with the highest number of votes will be the best official of the year." Li Zhiyun said.

Anonymous?
Everyone nodded, that's okay, no matter who you choose, anyway, no one knows, so don't offend anyone.

"You can also choose yourself." Li Zhiyun added with a smile.

It's not necessarily true that this award came out of his head, and he was just learning from it.

If the effect is good, the selection system will definitely be improved next year.

Moreover, he also hopes to use this to put more pressure on these officials to roll them up.

Not long after, Gao Liangzhong took his servants and went down to distribute paper and pens to the ministers.

Du Ruhui sat on his knees, holding a small piece of paper, and couldn't help but laugh.In fact, in his opinion, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor did this was because he wanted to promote some good ministers.

Thinking of this, he thought for a while, and wrote down the words 'Fang Xuanling'.Then he folded the paper and put it into the box held by the waiter.

On the other side, Fang Xuanling thought for a while, then wrote the words 'Du Keming' on the piece of paper.

In his opinion, the ministers of the DPRK; Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is cruel and upright; Minister of Rites, Zhao Cijing, is mediocre; 'Officer of the Year'.

Among the six phases, first of all, Li Shuliang, the order of Zhongshu, was not mentioned, secondly, Chen Shuda was not mentioned, and lastly, Wen Yanbo, the servant, was not mentioned.For the rest, only Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren, the left servant of Shangshu shot Du Ruhui, and the right servant of Shangshu shot Xue Shou.

Among the three, he felt that Du Ruhui was better.

After a stick of incense, the counting of votes officially began.The method is fair and open, and the counting of votes begins in front of all ministers.

Gao Liangzhong sang: "President Du Gong has one vote."

The servant hurriedly drew a circle behind Du Ruhui's name on the canvas.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment has one vote for Fanggong."

"Military Minister Li Gong has one vote."

After two incense sticks, the results came out, and the highest vote was Zhongshuling Yang Gongren.

Li Zhiyun chuckled, his eyes looked slightly deep.

"In this case, the next day, send a fast rider to notify the states and counties."

"According to the order."

At the end of the great dynasty, Li Zhiyun did not leave the ministers to eat, and let them go home to solve it by themselves.

Du Ruhui put on the big mink fur hat, two 'big ears' fell from the brim of the hat, just covering his ears, very warm and comfortable.

Holding hands, he and Fang Xuanling walked together.

"Where have you been chic these days?"

"Why does Keming have to tease me? It's not like you don't know how busy the Ministry of Criminal Justice is when it clears the prison at the end of the year."

"Haha." Du Ruhui sighed: "You are too serious. Your Majesty often tells me that Fang Xuanling is serious and responsible in his work, and considerate, but he plans too much, and sometimes he hesitates to make a decision."

Fang Xuanling smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, look at me. I don't want to think about it too much, but if I do things without thinking thoroughly, there will inevitably be inconsiderations. If you face the enemy in battle, you won't win. , think about defeat first. Only in this way can we remain invincible."

Du Ru nodded with a dark smile, "You're right, if everyone can think things through as you do, then things won't be complicated."

"Oh, this is you?" Fang Xuanling looked at him.

Du Ruhui pouted forward, then smiled.

Fang Xuanling followed his gaze, and saw not far away, Xiangguo Yang Gongren was surrounded by a group of officials.

"Ha ha."

He smiled and said nothing, raised eyebrows with Du Ruhui and walked away together.
