Iron gun Yang Tiexin

() "Women meddling in politics is the way to bring disaster!"

The morning court was over, Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie, surrounded by a group of guards, rode back to the mansion, walking on the road while thinking about it.Before he knew it, Wanyan Honglie's young face was filled with concern for the country and the people.

The current emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Honglie's father, Wanyan Jing, is generally a good emperor.

In the early days of his accession to the throne, Wan Yanjing forged ahead and made great efforts to govern. He tried his best to follow the example of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and carried out a series of drastic reforms.

Among them, the most important thing is to completely overthrow the Jurchen slavery system represented by the existing Meng'an Mouke system and the two-tax system, carry out comprehensive Sinicization reforms, and continuously improve various economic and political systems.

After more than ten years of hard work, the Kingdom of Jin finally basically got rid of the shadow of the slave society and entered the era of feudal society.

However, perhaps due to excessive Sinicization, this Wanyan Jing has also acquired many of the bad habits of the feudal emperors of the Han family, such as lust, literature and art, and soft ears.

Wanyan Jing's original partner, Wanyan Honglie's old lady, the Pucha clan, had passed away long before Wanyan Jing became emperor.

In the year when he ascended the throne, Wanyan Jing was just in his early twenties, and it was at that time, so naturally it was impossible for the palace to be so empty.

Following the rules of the Han family, Wan Yanjing filled his palace with 72 concubines and 3000 beauties.Among them, the daughter of a prison household named Li Shi'er was the most favored by Wan Yanjing.

Wan Yanjing once wanted to make Li Shi'er the queen, but under the Jin Kingdom's ancestral system, the queen must come from the direct line of Jurchen, and she must also have a common surname such as Tudan, Tang Kuo, Pucha, Pusan, and He Shilie.

Li Shi'er is just the daughter of a prison household, and she was born as a slave and maidservant, so she is naturally not qualified to be a heir.

Therefore, even though Wan Yanjing loved Li Shi'er very much, facing the unanimous opposition of all the ministers, this proposal had to be abandoned in the end.

If you can't make a queen, then make her a concubine!

Wan Yanjing made Li Shi'er the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, who actually exercised the power of the queen and enjoyed the honor of the queen.

Not only that, but Li Xier's elder brother, Li Xier, who was originally just a rascal and a gangster, was actually appointed by Wan Yanjing as the military governor of Anyang; Li Xier's younger brother, Li Tiege, was originally a member of a gangster. He was actually promoted by Wanyan Jing to be one of the Nine Ministers, the Shaofu Supervisor.

The Li family brothers colluded with Li Shier, bought and sold officials everywhere, took bribes, and brought the Dajin Dynasty into a mess.

But Wan Yanjing didn't know this, and still relied on the Li family brothers as his right-hand man.

It was summer and July, when the Yellow River flooded, and millions of people along the banks suffered disasters.

The state capitals reported the situation of the disaster to the court, and Wan Yanjing attached great importance to it, ordering all regions to open warehouses for disaster relief, and at the same time recruiting migrant workers to repair the water conservancy of the Yellow River.

Wanyanjing is a person who does big things and is very bold. This time, in order to build the Yellow River water conservancy, Wanyanjing conscripted nearly 500 million civilians in one go.

Compared with the total population of the Jin Kingdom of nearly 6000 million, the expropriation of 500 million civilian husbands is barely within the range of national power.

Moreover, the floods of the Yellow River have been really serious in recent years.

Just in the more than ten years since Wanyan Jing ascended the throne, there have been three floods!There are more than 500 million people directly affected by the disaster!If you count those indirectly affected by the disaster, there are nearly ten million people!

If Wan Yanjing could remediate the Yellow River with 500 million strong men, it would be considered a good deed with immeasurable merit!

What's more, the Jin Dynasty recruited young men to build the Yellow River water conservancy, not for nothing, they had to be paid!And the salary is not low, 150 Wen per person per day.When it came to specific payment, it was changed to [-] wen per day, plus one and a half liters of rice.

Calculated in this way, every day Jin Guo has to pay more than 7 shi for rice, and 25 guan for money.

The construction of the Yellow River water conservancy project is complicated and the construction period is extremely long. It is often measured in months, or even a year and a half.

Moreover, since Wan Yanjing ascended the throne, he has rectified the water conservancy of the Yellow River more than once!But just this one item almost wiped out the little wealth accumulated by Wanyanjing's predecessor, Jin Shizong Wanyanyong!

What's more, the current Dajin Dynasty is in trouble at home and abroad, and the situation is very bad.

Inside, there is a group of corrupt officials headed by the Li brothers and sisters, who are rampant and lawless, and those degenerate Meng'an Moukes are also causing trouble everywhere and exploiting the village;

It can be said that the Dajin Dynasty has really reached the point where internal and external troubles are precarious!

The hateful thing is that Wan Yanjing still doesn't know it at this moment, but still sings poems and paints with that Li Shi'er in the inner court every day, and entrusts Li Xi'er and Li Tiege to the pair of thieves with important affairs of the country!

For example, the construction of the Yellow River water conservancy project was the responsibility of that thief, Li Xier!

Although this Li Xi'er is greedy for money, he is not so bold as to be greedy for the construction funds of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Project. Presumably this guy also knows that once His Majesty finds out about the wages owed to migrant workers, there will be no good fruit!

But this guy has done something even more heinous than defaulting on the wages of migrant workers, that is, to give an IOU, no, to send a child!

In fact, Li Xier cannot be completely blamed for this matter. His Majesty the Emperor wants to build water conservancy projects on the Yellow River. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people.

His Majesty the Emperor once again said that the hearts of the people are like water, which can carry a boat or capsize it!

Therefore, as officials, we must win over those migrant workers brothers, and we must not default on their project funds!

However, the Great Jin Dynasty has no money now!

Over the years, the Great Jin Dynasty has conquered all directions, making enemies everywhere!

Ever since Wanyan Jing ascended the throne, the Jin Dynasty has never been peaceful!

The Xixia in the west dared to harass the Jin Dynasty at every turn; the Tatars and Mongolian tribes in the north could not bear the oppression of the Jin Dynasty and rose up to resist at every turn; Instigated by a literati named Han Yuzhou, Nian brazenly launched an attack on Qiang Jin.

Although in the end, the Jin Dynasty beat the Southern Song Dynasty to shame, forced the Southern Song Dynasty to cede land for compensation, and dug the dead Han Yuzhou out of the coffin and beheaded him!

But this incident also gave a warning message to the insightful people of the Jin Kingdom represented by Wanyan Honglie, that is, the Jin Kingdom seems to have begun to decline!Even fleas dare to bite Jin Guo!

Vigilance belongs to vigilance, but if you want to prepare your army, you need money!

As for the treasury of the Kingdom of Jin, what is most lacking now is money!

Not to mention the money for military expansion, even the wages for the construction of the Yellow River water conservancy cannot be paid in full and on time!

Wan Yanjing loves the culture of the Han family, is good at calligraphy and painting, and is quite good at composing poetry. She can be regarded as a high-level intellectual, or the kind of intellectual who has a particularly good face!

But Wanyan Jing's elder brother Li Xi'er is not an intellectual!Although this guy's family opened a printing factory to print books and sell them, he himself is an ignorant and ignorant rascal.

After handing over the construction of the Yellow River water conservancy project to Li Xi'er, Wan Yanjing let it go and went back to the inner court to recite poems and paint with Li Shi'er, and have sex with Yinle!Wan Yanjing didn't even care about the lack of project funds, but insisted that Li Xi'er must not deduct the wages of migrant workers!

Isn’t it embarrassing to ask me to pay migrant workers wages in full and on time without giving enough money?It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

However, this Li Xier is indeed smart!Knowing that she couldn't go to her face-saving and cheap brother-in-law for this matter, Li Xi'er was so cruel that she transformed and upgraded her own book printing factory to print money for fun!

At this point, the cornerstone of the Great Jin Dynasty has been hollowed out again, and it is still a very important piece!
