I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 582, Wang Xietang Qianyan in the Old Times
Li Ru's words made Xiangkai and Jia Xu fall into deep thought.Because they suddenly discovered that what Li Ru said was true.

Dagan has developed extremely fast these years, but they just think that it is Xu Weitian's arrogance, and that Dagan will develop so fast under his leadership. It wasn't until Xu Wei that he got his current status.

Just like Yuntai 28 of the Later Han Dynasty, he met the emperor Liu Xiu before he made contributions and became the founding hero.

But now that I think about it, it might not be because of Xu Wei’s elimination of the powerful clans in the locality. Without these people, the obstacles to local development will be reduced by 9%. Famous ministers and officials passed down the history.

This era is indeed the most suitable era for doing things.

Xiang Kai sighed and said: "I was born decades earlier, if I can be 30 years younger, I will definitely create this new world with the ruling party."

Xiang Kai must have political ambitions in his heart, otherwise, he would not have found a way to enter the palace to explain the Taiping Sutra to Emperor Heng a few decades ago. It is a pity that he would rely on the Taiping Sutra to govern the country. His enemies were too powerful, and he was driven out of Luoyang in despair.

Then during the period of Emperor Ling, he joined forces with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, to mutiny overthrow Emperor Ling, and elected Bohai King Liu Li as emperor, but was betrayed by the powerful clan and failed again, and he himself fled to Taihang Mountain in despair, relying on Zhang Yancai Gou Quansheng, he has done so many things, is it because he wants to promote his ideas.

But in the end, he did not expect that his old friend Zhang Jiao's ideas would be passed on.Now look at the booming new world of Dagan.Xiang Kai had no choice but to sigh: "Sure enough, only by smashing the old world of the big man can we build the new world of my Taiping Sect. From this point of view, I have lost to Zhang Jiao."

Then he looked at Jia Xu and Li Ru and said: "Now the world is about to be unified, and you can't get much credit in the army. Do you two want to take advantage of this good time to do something practical so that you Your name is also passed down in the history, and I still have a bit of face in the ruling place, so I am willing to recommend the two of you to be the prefect."

After Li Ru completely wiped out the power of the Yuan family, because he had already helped Dong Zhuo to avenge, he also let go of his obsession in his heart, now when he heard what Xiang Kai said, he immediately said: "With the help of the master, this junior can't wait for it! "

Seeing that these reckless people can establish a new system, Li Ru really wants to do some practical things.

Jia Xu has military merits, and this time when the military ranks were evaluated, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel and an annual reward of 10 yuan.

But he also knows that this should be his limit. He does not belong to the Rattan Armored Army system, nor is he from the Yellow Yellow Turban Army. A staff officer, but when the world is about to settle down, he seems to be almost useless as a staff officer. It may not be a good thing to transfer to the civil service system now. In terms of how to govern one side, he is confident that he can compete with Huanglong and Zhang Baiqi these people.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Then ask Master for help!"

He knew that Zhang Ning was Xiangkai and his niece, and with Zhang Ning blowing the pillow, there was a high probability that this would happen.

Xiang Kai nodded in satisfaction. Inside Dagan, the Rattan Armor and Yellow Turban military factions are huge, no matter whether it is the military or the government, but relatively speaking, the strength of these two factions in the government is still slightly weaker. Now that the world is about to be pacified, it is clear that in the future the center of gravity of the world will definitely be concentrated on governing the world in this way, and the status of warriors will be lowered. If they start to develop from now on, they may not be able to make great achievements in the court.

Li Ru, would Jia Xu lose to Niu Gui and Zhang Baiqi? Now that Niu Gui can be prime minister, Jia Xu can't.

But Li Ru and Jia Xu may not have this possibility, only they will work hard from now on, and it is a lucky thing to see these two juniors become prime ministers.

After the meeting, Niu Gui immediately returned to his prime minister's mansion, summoned all his subordinates and said, "I just finished the governor's meeting of Dagan, and the ruling found that the development of the states and counties is extremely unbalanced. Many states and counties are sucking the blood of poor states and counties, so the government hopes that our prime minister's office will take more care of these poor states and counties, so that the development of Daqian will not be too unbalanced. When you formulate policies, you must find a way to Those poor states and counties should devote a little more resources."

Dagan is a big government, and when Xu Wei delineated the scope of authority, it was also a prime minister system. In Dagan, the prime minister Niu Gui is really under one person and under ten thousand, and Dagan is number two, so Niu Gui, the prime minister, is also a great prime minister, with greater power than the prime ministers of the Han Dynasty. There are few things he can't manage in the Dagan court, so he has a lot of subordinates. There are hundreds of leaders.

But at this time, these hundreds of people are also very busy. They have to deal with the government affairs of various places, and they have to find a way to formulate the entire development plan that Xu Wei said, especially since there is no example for this kind of thing, and they have nowhere to copy it , can only find a way to come up with a big development plan from Xu Wei's few words.

What happened at the governor's meeting has already spread, after all, such a big thing spreads quickly, and all these subordinate officials know it clearly.

But the prime minister's office is under the greatest pressure for such things, because all the documents for support and projects will be collected to them. It's just that this time all the feudal officials from 10 states and counties are concentrated in Jixian County, so this kind of thing is troubled. become so big.

Cao Li Qianzhao felt embarrassed: "The pressure on our prime minister's mansion is not small. Originally, we have to pay back billions of debts every year (debts are addictive, and we finally paid off the 800 billion debts through the stock market, but Because there have been so many wars in the past two years, especially the most recent one when Xu Wei launched an army of 80. This war seemed majestic and shocked the world, but the consequences were also extremely serious. The war in less than half a year took a lot of effort 150 billion, and then it cost tens of billions of money to retire the soldiers, that is to say, the cost of this war exceeded 250 billion. In addition to the previous accumulation, Dagan now owes another 25 billion in debt , the annual interest repayment on these debts alone exceeds [-] billion yuan.)
Now more than 30 billion meritorious rewards are pointed out every year, and it is still [-] billion a year. This alone reduces our financial resources by [-]% every year if we don’t do anything. "

Xu Wei bestowed awards on meritorious officials, and the entire army was elated. Even in the civil service system, there were many high-ranking officials who were extremely happy, because they also had a share.

But in the big money court, the officials of the prime minister's mansion and the Cao officials of the household department are the most helpless. They have such a big extra expense, and they don't know how to make up for it. It can be said that it started from this reward , These Cao officials have been working overtime for more than a month in a row, just to remake the financial plan, tear down the east wall, and make up for the lack of more than 30 billion yuan.

But now Xu Wei's order makes it difficult for Cao officials who have worked hard for more than a month to accept. Everyone knows that money can only be returned quickly if it is invested in rich states and counties. It is possible to lose all your money if you lose money.

So from the heart, these officials hope to invest funds in the coast, build a dock and build a shipyard, whether it is fishing in the sea, whaling, or digging bird droppings on the island, these can be done Projects that pay back their capital within 3-4 years can greatly increase Dagan’s financial revenue, but if the money is used to build rails, canals, and even roads in Sili, it may not be seen in decades hope of return.

It’s like Xiliang’s track project, which sucked up Zhen An’s funds and almost made them bankrupt. You must know that Zhen An and the others enthusiastically said that they wanted to build a track for tens of thousands of miles, and let the track run from Chang’an to China Unicom. The Western Regions, but this track has not gone out of Xiliang, and they almost exhausted them. Later, they took over, so that the track can continue to be built, but even if it is accepted by the imperial court, it will only be repaired until Dunhuang can no longer bear it. .And the payback is even far away. The tolls collected on this track are not as good as the annual consumption of the track. If it weren't for the military advantages of this track, they would rather waste this track than spend money on it. This money is for maintenance.

Xiliang is also a big money-consuming household. Every year, Xiliang's finances are not only used locally, but the Dagan court also subsidizes billions of dollars. The people of Xiliang are extremely happy, feeling the warmth of the Dagan court.However, Xiliang sucked more than 150 billion blood from the Dagan imperial court. The military expenditure of the big man who fought in Xiliang for more than ten years was no more than that.

This means that only the imperial court can afford such a subsidy. If they were in the Han Dynasty, they would have lost Xiliang long ago.

Hearing this, Niu Gui said solemnly: "Businessmen care about gains and losses. We are the imperial court, and we are an imperial court that seeks to benefit [-] million people. There are some things that we must do even if we lose money. If you are like a big man If you say that you want to abandon the land of your ancestors at every turn, it seems that the big man is about to end!"

"When you make plans in the future, reduce investment in projects in wealthy states and counties such as Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. If they really want to carry out this project, let them find ways to raise funds by themselves. As for Xiliang, Sili, and Yanzhou, Find a way to help them develop, and use more funds to build infrastructure such as roads, canals, bridges, and rails. As long as the infrastructure is well constructed, businessmen will naturally invest in these places, and the places where businesses are prosperous will naturally prosper. If they can make money in their hometown, these people will not go to live in a foreign land thousands of miles away.”

Then he looked at the crowd and said: "What our prime minister's mansion wants is not one or two prosperous cities, but the prosperity of the whole city."

After hearing this, Cao Li of the Prime Minister's Mansion could only say helplessly: "No!"

They can only continue to run and break their legs if they open their mouths. They want to work overtime this year until the end of the year.

Niu Gui also knew the hard work of his subordinates during this period, so he said: "I also know everyone's hard work, I will report to the ruling, and this year everyone's year-end bonus will be tripled, so everyone will have a good year."

This remark finally made everyone cheer. The benefits of officials at the bottom of the big cadres are not bad, not to mention the three times the year-end bonus, which is almost their annual salary.

On the other side, Wang Lei hosted Xuzhou councilors and businessmen in his mansion.

These businessmen and councilors were not in the mood to eat at all, and after eating a couple of casual bites, they asked anxiously: "Inspector Wang, has the ruling party agreed to increase investment in us until Xuzhou?"

If they increase investment in Xuzhou, they will naturally earn more money. After all, only places with a lot of money will prosper, and blood transfusion in any place is the fastest way to speed up local prosperity.

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "The administration asked Xuzhou to do a good job in the construction of various infrastructures first, and then find ways to develop industries. Judging from the situation of this meeting, I am afraid that the imperial court will increase investment in the poor and troublesome western regions in the future."

Chen Deng said strangely: "Our Xuzhou is poor and white now, and the war has been over for less than a year, so we fully meet the conditions for being in power!"

This world is so unpredictable. The Chen family was originally a second-rate noble family in the Han Dynasty. The family has produced 2000 stone prefects for generations. In Xuzhou, they are not only powerful, but they are also powerful.It stands to reason that such a family should be the focus of the big strike.

But things in the world are so wonderful. When there was a drought in the world, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Cao Cao decided to eat up the rich and powerful families in Xuzhou at the same time, using the financial resources of the rich and powerful in Xuzhou to save their own power.

Therefore, under the joint attack of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Chen Deng's family declined instantly. Wubao, land, shops, houses, food, and money were all robbed.

The Chen family declined in an instant like this. All the former students and officials were exiled by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the core children of the family were also scattered and fled under the blows of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. His father, who supports himself by teaching, lives in Xuzhou.

But last year, Cao Cao's influence was uprooted by Dagan, Xuzhou became Dagan's territory, and Dagan didn't have to clean up the aristocrats and clans at all this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had already helped him.And it's done cleanly.

However, Chen Deng's household registration has unexpectedly changed from a wealthy family to a poor peasant, because the father and son have no land and only rely on Chen Deng to support the family. They are out-and-out poor families. In the system, even subsistence allowances are required.

So when Chen Gui found out that his household registration had become a poor peasant, he laughed loudly and said, "Good poor peasant! Yuanlong, you have to thank Cao Cao, the eunuch. If it weren't for him, your career would be hopeless. The hardships of the past few years That's great, we can keep the family inheritance after a few years of hard work, and we've made a lot of money."
