Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 347
Bianjing.

Compared with Luoyang, which is less peaceful, Bianjing is more stable.

Even if Pan Mei and Gao Huaide had different intentions, they would not dare to mess around.

Coupled with Luo Youdu's accumulated reputation in Kaifeng Mansion, the people still have certain expectations for the new dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that the two big men who can influence the military are fishing in Jiangling.

Having seen the scale of the six connected cities in Jinyang City, Luo Youdu felt uncomfortable when he returned to Bianjing.

Bianjing is really too small...

It's just that Luo Youdu has no plans to move the capital, at least not in the next ten years.

No matter how small Bianjing is, it is also one of the Central Plains in the sense of this era.

It is not without reason that the princes of the Five Dynasties entered the Central Plains, and most of them invaded Bianjing and began to spread the word to the world, inviting the Quartet to return.

This is a symbol, the emperor of the Central Plains, if he is not in the Central Plains, what else is he called the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains?
After moving the capital, the world will be unified, and the four directions will be stable, so the choice can be made.

Of course, the key point is that there is still no money.

No matter how small Bianjing is, its advantages in water transportation cannot be replaced by any place.

The Bian River runs across China, the first to inherit the great river, divert the rivers and lakes, and benefit the South China Sea. Half of the world's wealth and department stores come from this road.

The capital of the country is in Bianjing, and the money saved by transferring in is astronomical.

The current Central Plains cannot stand the toss, and if there is money to move the capital, it is better to fight north and south and unify as soon as possible.

After all, being an emperor is not for pleasure.

Luo Youdu hugged Fu Qing'er, thinking wildly.

Fu Qing'er was discussing with him about bringing Emperor Zhou E into the palace, thinking about it.

Luo Youdu has the same problem as Guo Rong: too few heirs.

When Fu Qing'er was in Luo Youdu's expedition, she learned a lot about being a queen from her sister, and she even taught her children about it.

Luo Youdu said: "Everything is under the Queen's command."

After spending some time with Fu Qing'er, Luo Youdu went to Yanhe Hall to handle government affairs.

Looking at the memorials one by one in the meeting hall, Luo Youdu had one head and two big ones.

This expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty was a last resort, in order to get away with one punch and avoid a hundred punches.

The effect is significant, but the economic pressure on the country is also predictable.

Nearly 20 troops were mobilized this time, and [-] logistics servicemen.

The reason why the blitzkrieg was unexpected was because it was contrary to common sense.

It is not empty talk that the three armies went ahead without using food and grass.

When the food is not ready, I want to start a big war.

The result is the need to mobilize manpower, material and financial resources exponentially to support.

Regardless of the fact that this battle lasted only 27 days, and the army only went back and forth for more than a month, the financial and material resources spent by the court even exceeded the Northern Expedition to Youzhou.

The imperial court had been preparing for the Northern Expedition to Youzhou for more than a year, and many things came to fruition.

However, for this surprise attack on the Northern Han Dynasty, the imperial court had to suspend a lot of preparatory work, and everything was compromised for military dispatch, which had a great impact.

Luo Youdu's fight here is really fun, and the political and strategic goals have achieved good results.

Sitting down this time, looking at the "impulsive result" in front of him, Luo Youdu felt as if he wanted to hit a wall.

This is the difference between being prepared and not being prepared.

"It's really a cannon shot, golden ten thousand taels!"

Luo Youdu looked at the silent resistance of the big bosses in the conference hall, patted his cheeks, and said to himself: "Nan Tang, Ding Nan must bleed a little. They are the most escaped, not a little blood, too bad gone."

"Go to the meeting hall and invite the three gentlemen to discuss the matter."

Luo Youdu greeted him.

The three ministers are Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and Song Qi.

Luo Youdu took Wang Pu as the prime minister, Wei Renpu as the second prime minister, and Song Qi entered the council hall as a political adviser.

Among the three phases, when it comes to ability, Wei Renpu is the leader, but in terms of reputation, Wang Pu is the highest, and Song Qi is in between.

For the sake of the stability of the temple, Luo Youdu is not going to change his appearance in the short term, but will step by step arrange Dou Yi and Zhao Pu into the council hall in the name of participating in political affairs, and use his confidantes to control the administrative power of the temple.

Luo Youdu has already thought about the future of Wang Pu and Wei Renpu.

The former has the same name, Luo Youdu will give him a decent way to leave in the future and earn enough fame.

This is a compliment for him standing in the right place.

Wei Renpu, Luo Youdu likes his talent and ability so much.

But the prime minister can't give such a person to him. He is bestowed with the position of the three princes, and he can stay in the temple to make suggestions and use his brains. The matter is left to Song Qi, Dou Yi, and Zhao Pu.

During this period of time, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, and Song Qi were all councilors in the council hall.

After being summoned, the three of them walked into the hall together.

"I just read the memorial, and it is true...the finances of the new dynasty are a little tight. I have to take the main responsibility...just ask me for money, don't think about it, I am poorer than you, and the treasury of the Northern Han Dynasty is not as good as mine Confiscated the income of Xiao Siwen's family. But I thought of a way to get it back. The enthronement ceremony has to be held some time, and it should be a little bit bigger, and invite the surrounding princes to send people to participate. Participating in the enthronement ceremony, you must not come empty-handed. Collect some gifts, expand some treasury, and deal with the urgent situation."

Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and Song Qi looked at each other.

The truth is this truth, if you put it so bluntly, I'm afraid Luo Youdu is the only one.

Wang Pu coughed, relieved the embarrassment, and said: "A few days have indeed been fixed, and it is up to His Majesty to decide. The first day of the Lunar New Year, the second day of February, the third day of March, and the sixteenth day of March are all good days."

Luo Youdu thought for a while and said, "Then book February [-], the first day of the new year. It's too late, and we have to give them time to prepare gifts. After March, it's too late. On February [-], the dragon raises its head, which is considered auspicious. "

Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and Song Qi had no objection.

"Besides..." Luo Youdu said, looking at His Highness and everyone, and said: "Since Zhao Kuangyin's conspiracy, the whole palace has no way to deal with it. It can be seen that the palace system has a huge loophole. objection?"

When he said this, his tone was very severe.

Make it clear that it is not a negotiating attitude.

Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, and Song Qi were not very happy, but they also understood that with the lessons learned by Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi, if the palace policy system does not change, no one who becomes the emperor will be able to sleep well.

Nor did he offend Luo Youdu's brow at this moment.

Whether Wu Desi will change its name will be discussed later, but the immediate need is to get the organization out first.

The emperor must have eyeliner, and he must also have a murderous knife.

In the next period of time, the new dynasty will gather around the Jianzong Temple and hold the enthronement ceremony to prepare for these two major events.

Luo Youdu also began to transfer the positions of officials step by step, promoting those who are capable and close to him, and those who are capable of not being close to him continue to endure. This is called experience.

Because those who climbed up through the previous dynasty's network, there will naturally be a wave of liquidation.

If you want to govern the people, you must first govern the officials.

Luo Youdu's heart for governing officials is not just talking.

Cui Yan, Luo Youdu's old boss, had already retired due to his age. Luo Youdu allowed him to transfer to another official to become an official, and allowed him to receive half of his salary to enjoy his old age.

As soon as he retreated, the position to be made in Kaifeng Mansion was vacant.

Luo Youdu did not continue to arrange for someone to replace him, but asked Xue Juzheng, the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, to be transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a servant, promoted Kou Xiang, and granted him the right to serve in Kaifeng Mansion.

Here's an order.

All the dignitaries and nobles in Gyeonggi have a feeling of cold feet.

Kou Xiang has been officially called Judge Kou after Yan Wangluo.

With this fair-faced judge around, anyone who commits a crime should take it easy.

The Confucian family in Qufu.

Kong Yao looked at the yamen servant at the door and said angrily, "Lieutenant An, what are you doing?"

An Kangshun smiled wryly and said, "The county magistrate asked me to collect grain taxes. Mr. Kong is a great sage of the day, so don't make things difficult for him."

Kong Yao looked at the ferocious yamen servant, and said angrily: "It's not that I won't hand it in, there's no reason to force it!"

An Kangshun sneered from the bottom of his heart, and thought to himself: If he hadn't been born well, I would really have come to snatch her, and forced her to fight against you.

As far as the aristocratic family is concerned, no matter what Wang Xie's five surnames are in this world, compared with the Kong family, they are just a passing cloud.

For a long time, the Confucius family has received preferential treatment from all dynasties and generations because of the birth of Confucius, a saint, and even awarded dukes and princes.

However, during the Five Dynasties period, there were many warlords and warriors were in power, so the nightmare of the Kong family came.

A group of warriors who kill without blinking an eye, they only recognize the knife in their hands, it's not your surname Kong.

The Kong family, which had always been treated preferentially, was almost wiped out during this period of time.

Fortunately, there was a Kong Renyu who continued the blood of the Kong family. The status of the Kong family was located in the past few decades of the Five Dynasties, and it was undoubtedly at the bottom of the feudal era.

It wasn't until Guo Wei established the country and established the Zhou Dynasty that he went to Qufu to worship Confucius, summoned Kong Renyu at the same time, rewarded five-rank official uniforms, silverware, and miscellaneous colors, and even allowed the descendants of the Confucius family to be exempted from paying land taxes. Only then did the situation of the Kong family improve.

But when Guo Rong came here, the good times of the Kong family came to an end again.

Guo Rong directly canceled the privilege of the Kong family in Qufu to be exempted from paying rent and tax, and paid rent and tax as ordinary people.

This blow hit the weakness of the Kong family. How can a saint be like a commoner?
But facing the mighty Guo Rong, the Kong family dared not say anything.

When Guo Rong was seriously ill, the Confucian family wrote to Empress Fu to exempt the Confucian family from taxes, but Empress Fu did not approve and ordered to refuse.

Since then, there have been some unfavorable remarks about Empress Fu from various places in the Central Plains.

But before it fermented, Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny.

Kong Yao reluctantly asked people to pay the food and wages, and suddenly his heart moved, this country has changed hands, and the new emperor ascended the throne, doesn't it happen that they need the praise of the Kong family?

If you make the new emperor comfortable, won't the welfare benefits come?

Where do you need to pay taxes like ordinary people?
The more Kong Yao thought about it, the hotter his heart became, and he strode towards his uncle's residence.

Kong Renyu, the direct patriarch of the Kong family, died of illness three years ago. His eldest son, Kong Yi, is not as young as the weak crown, and is studying hard. Kong Yu, a branch of the Kong family, is responsible for everything.

Kong Yao respectfully met the elders of the Kong family, and explained his thoughts in detail: "The current sage is not Guo Rongna Wufu, who has the demeanor of a benevolent man. Uncle, it is better to sing the praises of the above table and restore the glory of the Kong family."

Kong Yu twisted his beard and smiled: "Among the juniors, you are the only one who mentioned this. It's not bad. Haha, Your Majesty should have received the letter from my Kong family by now."

This kind of thing, wait for your junior to bring it up?
Shit can't keep up with the hot ones!

　I have something at home recently, the update is a little unstable, sorry!
