The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

Chapter 860 Lin Pingzhi's Confidence

Chief envoy, the full name is the chief ambassador of the world's martial arts affairs. It is a new yamen established by the imperial court in the last two years, and the chief envoy ranks as a fourth-rank official, which can already be regarded as a high-ranking official.

The country has been in power for a hundred years, expelling Tartars from outside and punishing national thieves from inside. Now that the country has been around for a hundred years, it is the time when the country is at its peak.

The emperor talked about the greatness of the world in the temple, but his heart was gloomy. What is gloomy is the Jianghu sect in this country.

In the former dynasty, foreigners ruled the world, and they got the wrong position and lost the hearts of the people. Many people in the world have people with lofty ideals who learn martial arts in order to overthrow foreign rule and restore the orthodox dynasty of the Han people.

Later, the world was in chaos, and more and more people learned martial arts to protect themselves. By the time the Kingdom was established, martial arts in the world's rivers and lakes had become a climate.

Since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the country's management and control over the countryside was up to the county level. If you want to extend the tentacles of the imperial court to the countryside and establish government offices in the villages and towns, it will cost a lot of money and food. Even in today's official system, the emperor feels that there are too many officials. It has already formed a burden on the court's finances.

If the imperial power goes to the countryside, the number of officials to support will more than double. Therefore, local self-government is a tradition that has been formed for thousands of years by the state and even the entire nation.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, but most of the Jianghu sects are located in the countryside and mountains. Most of the managers of these rivers and lakes sects also became squires and sages, and they themselves became managers of rural self-government.

Taking the Qingcheng faction as an example, besides being the head of the Qingcheng faction, Yu Canghai is also the Lizheng of the country gentry in Yu's hometown at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. At the same time, it has an extraordinary appeal in Shilibacun.

Every year when the county comes to collect the imperial grain, it has to communicate with Yu Canghai, and ask Yu Canghai to organize people to go door-to-door to pay the grain and tax.

Because there are not so many people in the county yamen to go to the countryside to collect from farmers in each village. There are only so many people in the county yamen, if you want to pay the imperial rations on time, and if you want to get the countryside to go out on time, you have to rely on the squires.

The gentry undertook the actual management of the government's rule in the countryside. At the same time, the squires and sages also undertake important tasks such as building bridges and paving roads, establishing righteous villages, and building ancestral halls in the countryside.

The gentry class is an important class to maintain the rule of the country. If the country is not at the moment of corruption, it is generally not easy to mobilize the gentry class on a large scale.

A large part of the actual managers of those schools in the martial arts overlapped with the gentry class.

In addition, the court's understanding of Jianghu martial arts is not deep enough. As a result, the country's jurisdiction over the rivers and lakes is extremely loose.

In the countryside, if someone is killed and no one reports to the government, the government will not care.

The fighting between the sects of Jianghu was bloody and bloody. When the two factions fought, hundreds of people might be killed or injured in the fight. It's just that no one reported it to the government, so the government didn't bother to take care of it. After all, if hundreds of people were killed or injured under his jurisdiction, would he still need the black hat on his head in the year-end evaluation? Anyway, if no one reports the case, it will be treated as if nothing happened, and the major incident will be turned into a minor incident.

Because of the protection of the gentry class and the blind connivance of officials.

Therefore, the Jianghu sect gradually grew into a force that cannot be lost in the country.

And all this was clearly written in Lin Pingzhi's political commentary three years ago.

At the same time, Lin Pingzhi also described the ills that the martial arts sects monopolized various industries and caused to the country. Including tax reduction, unprovoked fighting caused a lot of casualties and so on.

The most critical point is what Lin Pingzhi wrote in his policy theory that many of the operations of Jianghu sect itself are tax evasion. The tax missed every year may be as high as one million taels of silver. Moreover, due to the struggle between the rivers and lakes, a large number of male population has decreased, which has also led to a decrease in the number of local people who serve as soldiers.

These are major events that shake the foundation of the country. It's okay if the emperor doesn't know, but when he knows, he will be furious. Make up your mind to get rid of the ills.

The emperor ordered Jin Yiwei from the East and West factories to manage the Jianghu affairs, but Jin Yiwei was good at dealing with officials, but not enough to deal with people in the Jianghu.

Raising the banner and pulling the tiger's skin, Jinyiwei can intimidate officials, but it can't scare people in the world. They are all gangsters on the road, and everyone is hob meat, who is afraid of whom.

In the final analysis, people in the Jianghu look at the real kung fu of their hands. How dare they go to Liangshan without two or three?

The so-called good fighters in Jinyiwei are those who deal with ordinary Jianghu people. If they really fight against those masters, they will lose their lives in less than three moves.

The Songshan faction even dared to kill Liu Zhengfeng, who had won the post of general, how many Jinyiwei would ordinary people dare to kill? Anyway, there are plenty of ways to make you die without seeing your body. A group of court eagle dogs died when they died.

Jin Yiwei was disgraced in less than two months after being sent out by the emperor, and even the commander suffered a lot. Pulling the big flag and pulling the tiger's skin is not easy for people in the rivers and lakes. The focus here is on the simplest and crudest primitive rules, and the one with the bigger fist makes sense.

Unless the emperor can make up his mind to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress 100,000 people from all corners of the world. Otherwise, small fights won't work at all. But mobilizing a large army to encircle and suppress 100,000 people in the Jianghu is to stir up a popular uprising. At that time, if the government forces the people to rebel, I am afraid that it is not about changing the sun and the moon to a new sky.

At this time, Lin Pingzhi, who had already won the favor of the emperor, said that he could help the emperor share his worries. So I went to the study for a night of in-depth talks, and the next day Lin Pingzhi got the official post of ambassador in charge, and the emperor set up a middle factory besides the east and west factories. Lin Pingzhi is the factory supervisor.

This middle factory is directly under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and is in charge of major affairs of the martial arts.

Everyone in the court wanted to see what benefits the young minister who was favored by the emperor could gain, but the result was very dumbfounding. The emperor never sent troops from the East and West Factory to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi has now become a polished general, with a reputation but no one under his command. The East and West factories are all waiting to see the joke.

However, not transferring people from other yamen also cut off the possibility of other yamen going to Zhongchang. Lin Pingzhi directly selected a group of eunuchs who had no ambition, no power, and no interest group from the eunuchs in the harem. Another group of eunuchs who were still young but talented were selected.

Seeing that Lin Pingzhi was going to rely on a group of eunuchs to act as thugs to manage martial arts people, even the cabinet ministers who had always supported the emperor couldn't stand it anymore.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Cheng, approached Lin Pingzhi and asked, "Rely on a group of eunuchs to control the murderers of the martial arts world? Even Jin Yiwei can't do it."

Yang Cheng is not optimistic about these people selected by Lin Pingzhi. Because none of these eunuchs can fight at all. In the final analysis, rivers and lakes depend on force.

But Lin Pingzhi said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, it only takes one year for the middle factory to train a group of masters who can compete with martial arts people!"

Lin Pingzhi has the confidence, because others don't know, but he himself knows. In my own hands, I have a unique set of "Evil Resisting Swordsmanship" that can turn eunuchs into martial arts masters!
