Monument Yangmen

Chapter 922 Delaying time is also a way to solve the problem

Hundreds of middle and upper-level officials were abolished in one go, such a skill is unheard of.

Lu Mengzheng was startled, he said in shock: "Your Majesty, for the sake of a monster, you have to depose hundreds of important officials, is it worth it?"

"Ah!"

Yang Qi said coldly: "I hate being threatened by others. If you dare to take the power of the common people and threaten me, you have to be prepared to be punished by me. You ask me, is it worthwhile to depose hundreds of important ministers for the sake of a human devil?" ?

I tell you, it's worth it, it's worth it.

That demon in your mouth has expanded thousands of miles for my country of Yan, and let my country of Yan add two new lands.

That demon in your mouth has added millions of people to our country of Yan.

Many of the salaries you eat are bought by that demon with blood and sweat.

The salary exchanged by the blood and sweat of the devil can support you and other people.

But there are only a handful of people and monsters who can help my country of Yan expand its borders and add new lands. "

Lu Mengzheng said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, resorting to military force is the way to subjugate a country. The lessons learned by strong men are before us. Do you want to follow suit?"

"Militarism?"

Yang Qi smiled mockingly, called out his name and said, "Su Yijian, tell him, am I a warlike warrior?"

Su Yijian stepped forward slowly, cupped his hands, and said lightly: "Su Mou is the head of the Yan State's civil affairs, and there are not many people who are more familiar with Yan State's civil affairs than Su Mou.

Su can tell you that my country, Yan, has never practiced military tactics.

My country of Yan only practiced the law of inner sage and outer king. "

Su Yijian paused, and continued: "As of the end of last year, our country of Yan has built as many as 48 granaries in various places, and each store of grain is enough for the local people to eat openly for more than three years.

In addition, under His Majesty's strong advocacy, in the past two years, new agricultural tools have been used and new crops have been grown in various places.

Yield per mu is increasing rapidly.

In Yan State, no one suffers from fasting.

And sweet potatoes and other things that were hard to come by before, are now used to support livestock. "

After Su Yijian finished talking about agriculture, there seemed to be no sign of stopping, and she continued: "And the business of our country of Yan, with the support of His Majesty, is also very prosperous.

In addition to the rich income from going to sea every year, the inherent industries of silk weaving, porcelain, shipbuilding, papermaking, salt and iron, metallurgy, etc., are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the tax revenue is increasing day by day.

The reason for this is that in addition to the commercial law promoted by His Majesty, the four great schools also contributed a lot.

Since His Majesty rewarded the craftsmen, craftsmen from all over the world have presented strange things one after another.

And these wonders are rapidly promoting the prosperity of Yan's business.

At present, there are as many as one million merchants in Yan State.

A month ago, Su Mou had already asked His Majesty to allow the establishment of a commercial management yamen.

Because the tax revenue of commerce has exceeded that of the former Song Dynasty by more than [-] times, it is no longer something that Su can easily control. "

"In terms of education, the basic education in my country of Yan has been implemented in every village and every village. By the end of last year, the number of literate people in my country of Yan had broken through to nearly [-]%."

"Government..."

"Maritime..."

"In terms of foreign country management..."

"Military..."

"..."

Su Yijian counted the development of Yan Kingdom piece by piece.

Every item that came out of his mouth exceeded the highest expected value in the minds of the officials.

The four words of militarism, in terms of these values, are like a joke.

The four characters of internal sage and external king are more in line with today's Yan State.

They are in a trance.

Unknowingly, the country of Yan has become so powerful that they can hardly imagine it.

Out of date.

This sentence is more appropriate for them.

Lu Mengzheng took two steps back, and sat down on the ground with a pale face.

All the officials were sweating coldly on their faces.

Yang Qi has no mercy for these people.

Lu Meng is the exception.

In Yang Qi's heart, Lu Meng is still a talented person.

Yang Qi originally thought that his edges and corners had been smoothed, but he didn't expect that Lu Mengzheng's edges and corners still existed.

Looks like it still needs to be polished.

As for the others?
Yang Qi didn't care at all.

They can no longer keep up with the development of Yan State, and staying in the court will only be an eyesore.

Under the protection of Yang Qi, the new generation of officials of the Yan Kingdom has begun to make their mark in the court.

Yang Qi deposed them in one breath, not only would it not cause any harm to the Yan State, but it would clear many important positions and allow the new generation of officials to shine.

Driven by Chen Lin, Yang Qi's ox cart slowly passed by the officials and plunged into the bustling city of Yanjing.

Kou Zhun, Su Yijian and others sneered and followed Yang Qi's ox cart into Yanjing City.

Xiang Minzhong hangs at the end, when he passed by Lu Mengzheng, he let out a long sigh, and said: "Brother Lu Xian, my brother has already reminded you not to oppose His Majesty, why didn't you listen?

Your Majesty is like the scorching sun in the nine heavens, his majesty is only in his mind.

He doesn't care what anyone thinks, let alone let anyone stand in his way.

Anyone who disobeys him will end badly.

You have been with His Majesty for many years, don't you even know this? "

Lu Meng was sitting slumped on the ground, gritted his teeth with a livid face, and said: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are a coward, but I don't want to. Humans and devils must be punished, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's reputation, not for myself, so I have nothing to fear.

Your Majesty resigned from our official positions today because of demons, and the people will definitely not agree. "

"Hey~"

Xiang Minzhong sighed, and looked at Lu Mengzheng with pity, "Don't be stupid, the people's opinion is powerful, that was before. Before the enlightenment of Yan State was implemented in the villages, we were the mouthpiece of the people. What we said, what the people believed. .

But now?

All the people are literate, even if there are illiterates, there are also literate people in the family.

In front of the meritorious deeds of opening up the territory, the appearance of a human monster will only cause some waves in the hearts of the common people, but it will not make them criticize you along with you.

Nearly half a year has passed since the birth of the monster.

The warmth in the hearts of the people has long since disappeared.

His Majesty is convinced of this, so he hid in the Yalu River for more than two months in the name of governing Xintu, and then spent three months on the road.

Look back, besides you people, who else followed you today to force His Majesty to kill Shang Qingzi?

Those people who are relied on by you have already stood on both sides of the avenue in Yanjing City to see His Majesty's true face.

In their hearts, seeing His Majesty is more important than fighting demons with you. "

Lu Meng was staring wide-eyed, with an expression of disbelief.

But Xiang Minzhong ignored him, shook his head, and trotted to catch up with Yang Qi's frame.

As soon as Yang Qi's ox cart entered Yanjing City, he saw people dressed like the bridegroom standing on both sides of the street.

They put red and colorful on the shops on both sides of the street, and they also wore flowers and colorful, a joyful scene.

Yang Qi was sitting on the bullock cart, which surprised the common people.

But after being surprised, the people not only didn't think there was anything wrong with Yang Qi's behavior, but felt that Yang Qi was not as fierce as imagined, but was very close to them.

The common people clenched their fists excitedly, their faces flushed, but apart from looking at Yang Qi, they didn't know how to express their joy and excitement.

In the past, when people encountered this kind of scene, they were either driven to a few streets away, or they knelt on both sides of the street and shouted 'Your Majesty's Holy Ann'.

Now that Yan State has canceled the kneeling ceremony, they really don't know how to express their excitement.

Chen Lin, who was driving, seemed to see the embarrassment of the people.

He flicked the long whip in his hand, and shouted in his sharp voice: "Yan Kingdom is victorious! Your Majesty is victorious!"

The people seemed to have their mouths opened, and they all followed suit.

The reason why they gathered here was not only to witness Yang Qi's true face, but also to celebrate the addition of new lands to the Yan Kingdom.

The slogan of Yan Guo Wan Sheng naturally fits their appetite.

"The Kingdom of Yan is victorious!"

"Your Majesty Wansheng!"

"..."

The people roared hysterically.

They are using their roars to express the excitement in their hearts and the arrogance of a powerful country.

Yang Qi on the bullock cart, when he heard the shouts of the people, he couldn't help puffing out his chest, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Looking at the excited people, Yang Qi really wanted to shout something like rewards.

Such as tax exemptions, rewards...

Su Yijian, who was following him, seemed to see his thoughts, trotted forward, and reminded Yang Qi in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the state owns the state law, and this is the rule you set. Those people in the Fuxing Mansion are now wealthy. It has already caused dissatisfaction among the people in many places..."

Yang Qi opened his mouth, glared at Su Yijian, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Although he hated Su Yijian for disturbing his pleasure, he listened to what Su Yijian said.

Back then, when Yang Qi founded the Four Northwest Mansions, he successively exempted the people of Fuxing Mansion from taxes. Later, because of the merits of Fuxing old soldiers who died in the battle in Haoshuichuan, he exempted Fuxing Mansion from tax burden.

Not only that, whenever the imperial court has new policies, and whenever there is a way to quickly become rich and powerful, it will first be tested in the Fuxing Mansion.

In addition, there are many military households in Fuxing Prefecture, and there are many fertile fields in every household.

As a result, the people of Fuxing Mansion became upstarts at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In today's Fuxing Mansion, every household is rich.

Even Jinling Mansion, which is said to be full of wealthy businessmen, is not as good.

Within the territory of Yan State, only Yanjing City and Gang City are comparable to Fuxing Mansion.

Because of this, the people in other prefectures around Fuxing Mansion were dissatisfied.

They also want to be rich, and want to have a lot of money in every family.

You tell people that the reason why the Fuxing Mansion has such treatment is that the old soldiers of Fuxing paid for it with their lives.

Then the people will definitely fight back against you.

Trade your life for wealth?So can we.

There is a battle there, you say, we are absolutely unambiguous.

The whole family is fine!

My 80-year-old mother can kill two enemies with a cane.

As long as it can make us rich, let alone go out to fight the enemy, even let us be a wall of flesh.

These are the people of Yan today.

Not afraid of death, not afraid of war.

Not to mention those men, even the old and the weak, women and children dare to carry a knife into battle.

They just want to be rich!
Scared of poverty!

Losing the power to reward the common people, Yang Qi became a mascot with a smile on his face.

He only needs to smile and wave to the people from time to time.

Then accept the cheers and salutes from the people.

In order to let the common people see the emperor more, Chen Lin, an old fellow, drove very slowly.

Not only did he not drive the pulling old cow to rush forward, but he repeatedly grabbed the rein to stop the old cow.

Ever since, when Yang Qi returned to the palace, it was already dark.

Yang Qi dispersed the officials who followed him and asked them to go to court to discuss matters tomorrow.

Wait until the officials leave.

Yang Qi kicked Chen Lin's ass.

"You old man definitely did it on purpose."

Not only did Chen Lin not get annoyed, but she got up from the ground with a smile and said, "It's rare for the common people to see Long Yan, and if they have the opportunity to get close to His Majesty, it is natural that the common people should get close and close, and they must not be disappointed."

Yang Qi glared at Chen Lin, rubbed her smiling cheeks, and threatened viciously, "Next time, I will tie you to the bull's head and let you walk around the city."

Chen Lin was happy, "That's a good relationship. Your Majesty is helping the servant to make a name for himself. Maybe the servant can go down in the history because of this."

"You old man, you are becoming more and more unruly in front of me."

Yang Qi cursed, raised his legs and entered the palace.

Chen Lin just smiled cheerfully and did not speak.

After serving Yang Qi for a long time, Chen Lin has figured out Yang Qi's temperament. He knows when to joke with Yang Qi and when to obey his duty as a slave.

It is precisely because of this that his position as the number one eunuch beside Yang Qi has never been shaken.

After Yang Qi walked into the palace gate, he stopped suddenly when he was passing by a side hall.

Chen Lin bumped into Yang Qi's body, and was about to exclaim when Yang Qi covered her mouth.

Then I saw Yang Qi pulling Chen Lin, hiding in the dark of the side hall like a thief.

Chen Lin followed Yang Qi's gaze, and saw two little men sneaking under the pillars of the side hall saying this.

Of course, these two little people are actually not young anymore.

It's just that Chen Lin watched them grow up, so no matter how old they are, they are still small people in his eyes.

Chen Lin lowered her voice and said softly, "It's the First Prince and Mu Guiying..."

Yang Qi reminded him to shut up, and said lightly: "I know..."

Yang Qi's gaze fell on Yang Zongwei and Mu Guiying, and said in a low voice, "In a flash, both of them have grown up..."

The two former little fellows have grown to the age when Yang Qichu fell into Tianbo Yang's residence.

Yang Zongwei inherited the excellent bloodlines of Yang Qi and Cao Lin. He is handsome and handsome, with a thin body and a noble air.

Mu Guiying has grown into a big girl. She has delicate features and is extraordinarily beautiful, but she doesn't have the delicateness of her daughter's family, instead she has a heroic spirit.

After hearing Yang Qi's words, Chen Lin echoed her words.

"Yes!"

"Shut up! Listen to what they say."

Chen Lin rolled her eyes helplessly, it was obviously you who started the conversation.
