Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 787
"Your Majesty, Su Wei has been writing to see you."

In the Hall of Yanying, Shangshu's left servant Shehou Mo Chen Yi was wearing a purple robe and jade belt, and he wore a jade unicorn amulet unique to Yuanmou heroes on his waist. His face was full of red light.

Now that Da Qin has replaced Da Sui, he is no longer a courtier of the Sui Dynasty, but has become the founding hero of Da Qin and the central prime minister.

Because Luo Cheng had served as Shang Shu Ling, Nei Shi Ling and Zhong Shu Ling before he came to the throne, so these three high-ranking officials are currently empty.

Hou Mo and Chen Yi served as Zuo Servant, which is actually equivalent to the head of the Shangshu Province. Although the power of the center has been gradually transferred from the Shangshu Province, which opened the dynasty, to the Zhengshitang since the Daye Dynasty, the Zhengshitang is still located in the Shangshu Province. Of course, Shangshu Province is still the main one.

His left servant is equivalent to the prime minister.

"Su Wei is getting old, why don't you go home and take care of yourself, why do you want to come out?"

Yanying Hall is not an outer court, nor is it an inner court of Zichen Hall. It is only a place where the emperor and the prime ministers discuss matters. Therefore, there are no guards, censors and ceremonial supervisors here. It is convenient.

Luo Cheng admits that Su Wei is talented.

This guy was able to become one of the four nobles of the Emperor Wen Dynasty, and one of the five nobles of the Yang Guang Dynasty. He went through the Sui Dynasty and the two dynasties, with a total of five ups and downs. It has to be said that he is very capable.It's a pity that this person also has many problems, such as greed for money, like cliques, cliques and dissidents, and such as not having the backbone of a loyal minister, and likes to flatter the emperor.

It has to be said that he was also responsible for a large part of Yang Guang's defeat.

Thinking of Su Wei's cooperation before, Luo Cheng gave him a second-rank Doctor Guanglu Dismissal this time, and retained his title of Duke of Pi. position.

But Luo Cheng was unwilling to use him.

First of all, I am too old, in my 80s.Secondly, there are many stains on this person, especially the reputation of treachery in the past cannot be washed away, and using him again will not be good for the reputation of the new dynasty.

"I won't see Su Wei anymore, send someone to reward him with some money and silk, and then let him return to his hometown to retire."

The matter of Solvay is hereby pressed.

The right servant of the Shangshu, Du Ruhui, said that the new dynasty was established, and a thousand wastes were waiting to be revived. The most important thing now is to appease people's hearts, so an imperial edict should be issued to implement amnesty, and at the same time, the people of the world should be exempted from rent and transfer for one year.

Luo Cheng nodded.

"In the past, the master's faint and treacherous ministers caused turmoil in the world, and countless people were in dire straits. Now we have the responsibility to restore peace to the world and relieve the people from hanging upside down."

The voice of the young emperor echoed in the hall.

After thinking for a while, Luo Cheng continued, "Although we haven't pacified the whole world yet, I think we should start in Liaodong for the areas we have already controlled, including Lingnan, Annan, Daibei and other places that were entrusted to the table. The two-tax system that has been promoted has been changed from taking Ding as the basis of national taxation in the past to taking the family's wealth and the size of the land as the basis for tax collection. At the same time, the taxation of industry and commerce must also be seized. Now the country is waiting for jobs, and even There is still more than half of the world that is not yet unified, and there are still wars, all of which require money, we can't put these burdens on the people, we have to find ways to increase revenue."

Several prime ministers have no objection to Luo Cheng's two tax laws. After all, this is a policy that has been implemented in Liaodong before, and the effect is still very good.

"Your Majesty, now you should call me Zhen instead of me." Wei Zheng reminded the emperor.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I don't or not, there is no one else here anyway."

"Turning the fields must continue. At the same time, we must step up the promotion of land equalization in Shandong, Huainan, Fanyang, Daibei and other places. Let the local governments clear up the land and appease the refugees. No matter where the people are from, as long as they want to Let them settle down as soon as possible by distributing the land and granting land."

"Wei Zheng, you are in charge of taking the lead and starting to draft the laws of our Great Qin Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, please give the new law a name, and at the same time, please tell me whether the new law should be loose or tight?" Wei Zheng asked.

There were two laws in the Great Sui Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it was the Kaihuang Law, which was revised several times. After the Emperor Daye succeeded to the throne, he revised the Daye Law.Generally speaking, the Daye Law is looser than the Kaihuang Law, and the Kaihuang Law is also looser than the previous laws, abolishing many corporal punishments.

"Although heavy codes should be used in troubled times, but now that the world is in turmoil and the people are in danger, I think it's better to be more relaxed. The new law should be called the Great Qin Kaiyuan Law."

After Yanying's performance was over, Luo Cheng returned to the inner court.

Qianqing Palace.

This is the bedroom of Emperor Luo Cheng, and also the head of the inner court.

Shan Binbin brought Mrs. Li and Mrs. Cui and others over to meet the emperor.

"His Majesty!"

All the concubines saluted Luo Cheng.

"Why are all the concubines here?"

When Luo Cheng went to that stop, some court ladies came over to help the emperor take off the robes he wore when meeting the prime minister, and put on casual clothes.

After taking off the bright yellow Yanlong robe, the palace servants put on a black robe for the emperor.

Shan Binbin said that the Forbidden City was originally the Linshuo Palace of Emperor Sui Ming. Although it was built with a lot of manpower and material resources, and it was only a few years old, it is still a small palace after all.

In addition, there are relatively few eunuchs and palace people in this palace, and many of them are very old. At the beginning, many palace people were taken away or fled during the war.

"The concubine wants to ask His Majesty to issue a decree to recruit a group of young beautiful women from all over the country to enter the palace, and at the same time release those old palace people from the palace."

In the past, when palace people were selected to enter the palace, they would not be released under normal circumstances. Only after the new emperor succeeded to the throne would some palace maids be released from the palace. If the emperor stayed for a long time, the palace people could only stay in In the palace.

"The matter of the harem should have been managed by you, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, some rules have not yet been established. I thought that the local government can recruit beautiful women, instead of recruiting, women of the right age can voluntarily sign up. The selected ones will give their families a settling fee, and these beautiful girls will be sent to the palace. After training, they will be assigned to work in various palaces. Those who have reached three years can be released back to their hometowns. Terrible thing."

Moreover, changing recruitment to recruitment can also prevent the local government from taking the opportunity to harass the people and make them fly.

Anyway, this beautiful girl was chosen only to be a palace servant, not to choose a concubine for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this concubine thinks this is a virtue, but if this is the case, this concubine thinks that we should choose some more virtuous and virtuous women to enter the palace to enrich your majesty's harem."

"Let's talk about this later." Luo Cheng interrupted Shan.

"I just remembered, now I should also canonize you as a queen."

The first year of the Great Qin Kaiyuan, October.

The emperor issued an edict to confer the titles of Shan's empress, Li's noble concubine, Yan's concubine Shu, Cui's concubine De, and Zheng's concubine Xian.

One empress and four concubines, the titles of these four concubines are fixed numbers, one empress and four concubines are each titled and one person.

Below the fourth concubine, there are nine concubines including Zhaoyi, nine Jieyu, nine beauties, etc., basically each has its own quota.Right now, the emperor entrusted one concubine and four concubines, and conferred several concubines. The six concubines born in Goguryeo were the third-rank Jieyu, but the position of the second-rank nine concubines was still vacant.

Under the emperor's one queen, four concubines and nine concubines.

Jieyu, beauty, and talent each have nine, making up 27. They are generational wives.Baolin, Yunu and Cainu are 27 each, totaling 81, and they are Dai Yu's wives.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary emperors to have so many concubines and beauties, such as Yang Guang, the emperor actually has very few concubines and beauties in the harem.
