Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 240
He Lianyu nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.

Yu Moying paused slightly, and then said: "The removal does not necessarily mean that the prefect of Yinzhou must be dismissed directly. The prefect of Yinzhou and the big families in Yinzhou are working together, if they want to be removed directly, there will be a riot."

"His Royal Highness can adopt a method of stepping on one another. After the plague is over, His Highness can use this time to say that the prefect of Yinzhou has made meritorious service and praise him. As for the big families in Yinzhou, not only do not commend them, but They need to contribute to subsidize the people of Yinzhou City."

"As for this task, I will leave it to the prefect of Yinzhou to do it. Your Highness just declares to the outside world how great the prefect's achievements are, and will take part of the assets contributed by the big households as a reward for him."

"In this way, the big households in Yinzhou City must have complaints about the prefect of Yinzhou. They will not swallow their anger. If there is a commotion, His Highness can take this opportunity to punish the prefect of Yinzhou for a crime of bad governance, and replace him with a new one. A capable person takes office."

As she spoke, there was a sparkle in her eyes.

The other counselors present were already looking at each other with admiration.

However, the way she said still has follow-up problems. Even if the prefect is changed, how can we prevent the collusion between the government and businessmen.

Even if He Lianyu can trust the character of a capable person, but after a long time, no one can guarantee that people's hearts will not change.

"After the new prefect took office, did similar problems arise? Is it the same as dealing with the current prefect?" Some people asked, "If that's the case, how much energy should His Highness put on this matter? This way , after all, it cannot cure the root cause.”

He Lianyu's eyes flickered while listening to their conversation, and he didn't say much.Only occasionally gave Yu Moying a few positive looks.

Yu Moying took a deep breath, and said confidently: "This really cannot cure the root cause. Therefore, the key point is how the new officials will be appointed. Each magistrate should not be in office for more than three years in each prefecture or county."

"With a period of three years, the prefects of each state can be transferred. The three-year period is neither long nor short. It takes a certain amount of time for each prefect to get acquainted with the local big households. And the local big households , will take into account the prefect's tenure time."

"They will hesitate and calculate how much benefit they will get from the cost of making friends with each prefect under the new appointment and removal system. At this time, it is necessary to install an inspector for each state to supervise The behavior of each prefect during his term of office."

"In this way, the collusion between government and businessmen will be much less. I can't say that there will be no future troubles, because this thing cannot be eradicated in a short time."

This time, everyone looked at Yu Moying with brighter eyes.

The corners of He Lianyu's lips curled up slightly, and he praised: "It seems that this king brought you out this time, and the harvest is not small."

Gradually, there were voices of admiration from the audience.

However, at this time, someone questioned: "Miss Nayu, is there any other disaster relief measures? What you just said is just one of them. The disaster relief project is huge, and we need to start from all aspects."

In fact, it wasn't that they didn't have any ideas in their hearts, but that this girl made them curious, and they wanted to hear what else she could say next.

Yu Moying glanced at everyone present, and said with a slight smile: "My other two thoughts are that after the plague is cured, the agriculture in Yinzhou City and several other plague-stricken states has withered, and there is still a need A long time to recover."

"His Royal Highness may wish to consider exempting these states from taxes for three years and giving them enough recovery period."

"In addition, on our way to and from Yinzhou, we saw the shadows of the old grass market in the area along the river. After the plague, these states also urgently needed more gold and silver. The local people can earn a living. Add one more."

"Delineate specified commercial areas for several states, encourage merchants to enter, and improve their status. When agriculture has not yet recovered, commercial transactions will be temporarily regarded as the focus."

Yu Moying swallowed, and finally finished speaking.

In the end, she added: "I'm using these ideas as a pretense. Everyone here probably has a better idea."

Fortunately, this is in Beiming country, if it is in Huaxi country.It's useless for her to talk about encouraging business activities.

The Huaxi Kingdom has always looked down on merchants. The status of merchants is very low, and their food and clothing expenses will be restricted by the court.

Although the various princes and nobles have their own properties, they are all hidden, and outsiders can only guess about it.

And these days when she came to Beiming Country, she observed it.Although Beiming Kingdom also puts the most importance on agriculture, it did not suppress merchants like Huaxi Kingdom did.

It may be due to good relations with countries in the Western Regions. In the Beiming Kingdom, the imperial court only kept several industries such as coinage, copper smelting, and salt and iron in its hands.For other commercial activities, compared with Huaxi Kingdom, it will be much more free.

On the streets of Beiming Kingdom, merchants can swagger and ride in the most luxurious carriages.In every restaurant and Chu restaurant in the capital, experts can tell who is the boss behind the scenes.

In the room, it was quiet for a long time. Most people had changed their original views on Yu Moying.

They felt more and more that, in addition to status, this girl was worthy of He Lianyu in terms of appearance and intelligence.

Moreover, she will not show her sharpness, steal their limelight, and leave room for them to continue to play.

This kind of advance and retreat is appropriate, even they have to obey.

He Lianyu glanced at Yu Moying knowingly, and then he smiled at the others, "Everyone can speak freely, as long as your suggestions are useful, I will give you a credit. "

He followed Yu Moying's words, and he couldn't think that Yu Moying wanted to take credit out of nowhere.

As a result, the atmosphere became active again, everyone talked about each other, arguing happily.

On that day, there were indeed several measures that were easy to implement and had immediate results.

However, no one had forgotten that Yu Moying, who was a woman, proposed several measures that even they were ashamed of.

They all forgot that Yu Moying was originally just Huaxi Kingdom, a humble concubine from the prime minister's family.

A few days later, with the efforts of He Lianyu and others, the plague in Yinzhou City was quickly brought under control.

The methods Yu Moying mentioned were soon implemented, and the effect was even better than expected.

From then on, in the hearts of the people of Yinzhou, He Lianyu and Yu Moying were mythical beings.

The day He Lianyu and his party returned to Beijing, all the people in the city came to see them off.

On the canopy carriage, the goose-yellow curtain fluttered in the wind.

The wind lifted a corner of the curtain, and He Lianyu, who was on the horse, caught a glimpse of the grand scene of the people of Yinzhou seeing off in a row, and lightly held Yu Moying's hands, with waves of warmth rushing through his heart.

After so many days, he found that it was not without reason that Yu Moying could make him fall in love with her.Many of her ideas can be matched with his. Moreover, Yu Moying is not as cold-hearted towards others as she has shown in the past.

He didn't know if she had changed, or if it was just her true nature.

She has feelings, and she will be moved by the people infected with the plague.Maybe she can have a kind of compassion for all beings in the world.

The front and rear of the carriage were full of court guards.Outside the carriage, the people cheered happily, and the entire Yinzhou City was swept away from the haze brought about by the plague a few days ago.

"Aying, would you like to guard this vision of the world with me?" He Lianyu turned his head and asked with a smile.

His smile, in the early autumn season, seemed to blow a warm breeze in spring.

Yu Moying was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, but she firmly held his hand instead.

Her performance has said her answer.

However, in Yu Moying's heart, she always thought that she was a selfish person.

If it wasn't He Lianyu's wish, she wouldn't be willing to think about the world.She prefers to be a free person who roams around Kyushu after revenge.

However, since He Lianyu takes her seriously, he has carefully planned their future.Then she will work hard.

From the very beginning, she understood how deep the gap between the two of them was.They always have to make some compromises to be together.

Both sides of the road were full of people, and the see-off team lined up from the city to the outside.

On that day, while they remembered He Lianyu, they also remembered a woman named Yu Moying.

Yu Moying said that the blooming light continued from Yinzhou to the capital of Beiming Kingdom.

At this time, Helian Yuyang, who was far away in the capital, dreamed about the past in the middle of the night, and sat up from the dragon couch in shock.

He wiped his forehead lightly with his hand, and when he took it off, he saw sweat stains on his hands.

The maid who waited on her personally, hastily held the lamp, and came to the side to listen to the order.

Helian Yuyang passed them and called the most trusted father-in-law.

"A few days ago, Dugu Tianshi told me that he would return to the capital in a few days. Has he sent any other news in the past few days?"

In the past few days, he has had a severe headache, and there are not many things he can take care of.That night, it was a little better, he remembered about Dugu Yun.

The father-in-law bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Celestial Master Dugu has already returned to the capital today. He also went to the palace, but he was worried about your health, so he didn't let the servants inform you."

"I see." Helian Yuyang nodded slightly.

But just when the father-in-law thought that he was going to lie down and go back to rest, Helian Yuyang got off the couch and asked the maids to change his clothes for him, then strode out of the door.

To the father-in-law and guards who followed closely, he waved his hands and said, "You don't have to follow."

No one dared not to follow his words.

In an instant, Helian Yuyang took a few steps outside, and suddenly felt much quieter.
