System, help me be an empress

Chapter 45
"Wala has retreated!"

"Wala also sent someone to send back the Supreme Emperor!"

"It didn't cost half a tael of silver!"

……

These few pieces of news spread crazily throughout Shangjing, and the entire territory of Dagan was having a carnival for this matter. This is the credit of the new emperor!

【Dead capital (progress bar): 0/100】

[The progress of the dead capital has been reset to zero, the reward prestige value is 5000000, the halo of the empress*1]

Different from the carnival of the people outside, the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this time is not peaceful.

"The great gifts given to Wala by the saints are also too heavy. If Wala relies on these objects to accumulate strength and make a comeback a few years later, how can I guarantee the safety of my work! At this moment, I am at peace, but I just want to be safe! "Give Zhong Kang Baoguo a bold remonstrance, and there is a faint look of sadness on his brows.

"Kang Aiqing's words are reasonable. I seem to have seen in you the lofty sentiments of Fan Zhongyan when he said, 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later'." Xu Youxi did not discourage the enthusiasm of the officials to advise, but encouraged them This kind of behavior, "Since Kang Aiqing is worried, I will tell you a story for you."

"I know an old man who accidentally found a very special rice plant in the field. This kind of rice grows better than ordinary farms. Isn’t there nothing to worry about in the world?”

"Many years later, the old man did it. The yield of the rice he researched was astonishing. When the old man was the most successful, he did something that everyone couldn't understand. He was willing to share this rice cultivation method for free. To teach the whole world, that is, all countries. At this time, someone asked him why he did this?"

Yeah, why?

The court officials listened patiently.

“The old man said, why not?

"I just gave Oala the sweet potato vines that I occasionally obtained. It can't be compared with the old man's life-long painstaking efforts. This behavior is just a tribute to the ancestors, and it can't compare with the righteousness of the ancestors. I just want to seek some blessings for my people. "Xu Youxi spoke sincerely.

At this time, smart people should follow Yuan Lao's thinking and try to study hybrid rice.

Sir, Qiangu.

……

At this moment in the court, some officials couldn't help admiring the righteousness contained in the new emperor's behavior, but there were still a few people who felt that the saint's behavior could not be more stupid. With such a good thing, shouldn't it be quietly developed in the country, why is it cheap? Enemy country?
Xu Youxi didn't continue to explain. This is actually a matter of vision. Among the five-level theory of Marlowe's needs, the bottom level is the physiological needs.In the eyes of many people, the amount of food is the only issue for the survival of the country, but what they see is the multiple industrial revolutions, steam, and electrical ages in the future.

Xu Youxi couldn't explain it too carefully to the court officials. The three points she promised to Wala were all after her own consideration.

As for the second point of trade, it is inevitable.Dagan not only needs to do business with Oiratia, but also establishes ties with overseas countries. It must "go out" and "bring in". In the future, Dagan will have the absolute right to speak all over the world.

Xu Youxi felt that it was not worth talking about the third gift of firearms.Whether the Wala people are willing to learn how to use firearms is another matter. Even if they are willing to learn, can they have enough copper and iron and skilled craftsmen to realize "firearms freedom"?

Even if they met all the above conditions, could it be that Daqian's Shenji camp could only stand still?

As the firearms of Shenjiying continue to improve, if Wala is thinking about it, she will definitely invest in the purchase. At that time, there will be another profitable way to make money. Now her behavior is just learning the businessman's routine and sending some trial products in advance.

When the neighboring countries see that Oirat has it, don't other weak and small countries want to have it?So what to do?Naturally, I'm going to buy it from Dagan!

At that time, Daqian can completely sell goods while receiving younger brother countries at the same time.With basic economic accumulation, we can continue with the industrial revolution. Wait a few years and see, which country can still be compared with me? !
People in the court have different opinions, so Xu Youxi won't say too much, just point to the end; what will happen to her life's merits and demerits, just wait for the final conclusion.

After explaining the matter, you can continue with the just-interrupted discussion of meritorious deeds and rewards.

The person who contributed the most to resisting the Battle of Oirat this time is Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of War.

When Xu Youxi was about to add the title, Meng Zhiqian voluntarily declined.

"Nowadays, everything is going to waste, and the minister is unwilling to increase the burden with the court. Meng does not need any reward."

"Your Majesty Meng doesn't need to decline." Xu Youxi could see Meng Zhiqian's sincerity, but she was also serious about wanting to increase the salary of the court officials, "Since the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have made an oath to resist the Oirats, then the Manchu Dynasty will reward them all! I have decided to increase the salaries of officials starting this year, and specific regulations will be issued next month."

Corruption in officialdom is serious, and one of the most serious reasons is that officials' salaries are too low. Without corruption, many people would not even be able to support themselves.But this shouldn't be an excuse for some officials to act mischievously. This year coincides with the Beijing Chase Year, so Xu Youxi can take this opportunity to make a reckoning.

The next person who wrote the letter was He Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was reporting the time of the examination.

It was only then that Xu Youxi remembered that the imperial examinations this year seemed to have been postponed for a month.

Xu Youxi intends to reform the imperial examination system, the eight-legged essay system, and most of the candidates selected are theoretical talents.However, judging from the current trend, "improving the law" and "filling the national treasury" are the most important things at the moment.

"The matter of this year's test will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites."

"There is one more thing. The "Dagan Law" needs to be repaired. This matter is jointly in charge of by Shi Miao Wenzheng, the left governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Huishi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Shangyun, Minister of Dali Temple. The Ministry of Rites is also responsible for the literacy of the whole people. The common people can recognize common characters, regardless of men and women, within a year, the basic laws must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

In two years, almost all the people in the church were literate? !

This is simply an impossible task!

The Minister of Rites, He Liu, seemed to have heard some fairy tales, and his face turned pale with fright: "Your Majesty, it takes a lot of effort to learn to read and write. I think..."

Xu Youxi directly interrupted He Liu's words: "I don't want you to think, I just want me to think. Since He Shangshu thinks that he is not capable enough and this matter is difficult, then I will point you to a talent."

"I passed on the order that Chong Jiunian Tanhua Rong Yingran was transferred to the post of Minister of Rites to assist the Minister of Rites in the important task of promoting literacy for all. Does He Shangshu have any other doubts?"

Xu Youxi remembered that Rong Yingran's intelligence and efficiency were both high.When he was the magistrate of Jingzhou, he had a very good reputation among the people. Xu Youxi was also surprised that he would suddenly resign and come to Beijing to become an ordinary teacher of the Imperial College.

Xu Youxi knew that this person was a talent, and just found an opportunity at this time, so he decisively pushed Rong Yingran away.

"I...will do my best." Minister of Rites sighed silently in his heart, what evil did he do.

　There are no recommendations for next week...
