But he didn't dare to ask more questions after being criticized by his father just now, and he couldn't figure out where the problem was, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

  Finally, Zhou Chao saw a young man with disheveled hair sitting in a cell in front of him at a glance. Although he looked bad, Zhou Chao immediately recognized that it was his son.

  "Han'er!" Zhou Chao shouted excitedly.

  The young man turned his head to see Zhou Chao and his group, and wiped his eyes in disbelief. When he was sure that it was his father and brothers, he shouted with tears in his eyes: "Father! You finally came to save the child. out."

  Zhou Chao walked to the door of Zhou Han's cell in three steps and two steps. He could see the haggard expression on Zhou Han's face even more closely. He couldn't help asking distressedly, "Han'er, are you feeling better?"

  Although Zhou Han was excited, Zhou Chao was clueless about what he said, so he still asked strangely, "What does the illness my father refers to?"

  At this time, Zhou Chao was already standing in front of the copper fence of the prison cell, Wang Meng intentionally turned away from Zhou Han in response, shook the handle of the copper door and said, "Oh, this copper door is broken again, I'm afraid I have to kick it hard. Only two feet can be opened, this old man doesn't have the strength."

  Zhou Chao's attention was really diverted by Wang Meng, and he didn't notice his son's answer. Instead, he turned around and signaled to a servant of the Zhou family, "Come on, why don't you help the adults open the door?!"

  At this moment, Zhou Shan, who was standing behind, suddenly had a flash of light in his mind. He remembered the situation when he asked Zhou Chao's disease just now. All of a sudden, everything was strung together in a line in his mind, and then a terrifying trap came to him. woven.

Chapter 57 Convicted

  "Father, no, don't open the door!" Zhou Shan shouted with all his strength, and everyone turned around in amazement.

  But it was too late, it was too soon, the servant assigned by Zhou Chao didn't care what Zhou Shan said, but kicked the copper door with all his strength!

  Zhou Chao and Zhou Han looked at each other happily and were about to embrace each other, but Zhou Shan behind him had closed his eyes in despair.

  Sure enough, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "Who dares to break into the prison!"

  So there was only a cannon shot, and a white-robed general led hundreds of heavily armed soldiers to surround the Zhou family and his party. Who was it if it wasn't Zhao Yun?

  Zhou Chao was shocked when he saw this, but he said calmly, "General, this fact is a misunderstanding. I have been authorized by Your Majesty to come to the prison to bring people home!"

  Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "How dare a thief make such mad words? If you have the authorization of Your Majesty, how can you stay in black all your life, sneaking around!"

  Zhou Chao was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Rui, who was beside the incident, shouted: "This black suit was put on by the warden who brought us in just now. What are the rules of the prison!"

  "Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Chao reacted to this incident and hurriedly looked for Wang Meng's figure everywhere, "As long as you ask the warden, General, everything will be clear."

  At this time, everyone discovered that Wang Meng and the soldiers were already lying in the cell, and there were a few more bruises on their bodies!

  At this time, Wang Meng got up from the ground and said to Zhao Yun coldly: "General, don't listen to these people's nonsense. Just now these people broke into the prison all the way to save the heavy criminal Zhou Han. The lower official is afraid of causing trouble. , send someone to urgently transfer some prisoners!"

  "You, you! Blood sprayed, obviously it's you..." Zhou Chao pointed at Wang Meng's nose and cursed. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start. In front of Wang Meng's testimony, everything seemed to be incomprehensible.

  At this time, Zhao Yun swung a silver spear at Zhou Chao's head: "thieves, the evidence is solid, what else can you deny. Trespassing the Heavenly Prison is a capital crime, I think you are tired of living!"

  "Injustice, injustice!" Zhou Rui knelt on the ground and said with snot and tears: "General, wait a minute, everything is His Majesty's will, if you don't believe me, you can go to His Majesty and ask! Yes, you Just send someone to ask His Majesty, he agreed to release Zhou Han!"

  "Brother, don't be confused anymore, haven't you figured out, is all this your majesty's plan?" At this moment, Zhou Shan's voice came from behind.

  The expressions of all the Zhou family members changed drastically.

  Zhou Shan said: "Please think about it carefully. From the beginning to the end, we came to Tian Prison to bring the second brother home. Are there any public witnesses? Is it the emperor who is aloof? Or is it Lord Tingwei? Lord Warden who turned his face?"

  "This, this..." Zhou Chao was speechless for a while, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

  His Majesty's imperial decree was passed down by Tingwei, and the whole process of arresting people was only guided by Wang Meng, and the black clothes they were wearing and the iron door of the Tianjing prison were kicked open.

  It was caught by Zhao Yun.

  If the three did not provide evidence against them, they would have jumped into the Yellow River and could not be washed away.

  "Father, you've been fooled." At this time, Zhou Han also understood, the reason why he didn't bow his head in prison was because he felt that his father had the energy to save him.

  I didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless this time, and directly set up an unbreakable dead end.

  "Han'er, why are you pretending to be sick when you're not sick!" Zhou Rui said angrily.

  "I've never pretended to be sick!"

  "That Tang He Yue..." Zhou Rui asked.

  "Brother, do you see Tang Heyue still here?" Zhou Shan said with a wry smile.

  As soon as Zhou Rui turned around, Tang Heyue had disappeared without a trace. At this time, the kid had already taken the benefits promised by the emperor and flew away.

  So the matter of the Zhou family trespassing in the sky prison has been confirmed and can no longer be changed.

  Do you expect the emperor or Lord Tingwei to reverse the case for them?

  Zhou Chao's face was ashen as he slumped on the ground.

  Wang Meng stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

  With his resourcefulness, the entire Zhou family was so confused, it was like playing a game.

  "Lord Zhou, considering your Zhou family's reputation, I will detain all of you for the time being. The punishment will be decided by His Majesty!"

  With a wave of Zhao Yun's hand, all the soldiers stepped forward and tyrannically tied up the Zhou family.

  "Duanjun, Huanjun! Not only did you do things backwards, but you even set a trajectory to murder a world-renowned scholar like your father, Shunjun, you will be ridiculed by the world!" At this time, Zhou Han was completely hysterical. He was originally imprisoned by himself. Forget it, I didn't expect the whole family to be served in one pot now.

  You can imagine how angry he was, but it didn't help.

  Dan Tu Zhou, all of them are in prison!

  "Hey, did you hear that, in the Zhou Family Jietian Prison, the whole family has been arrested!"

  In a certain academy in the capital, scholars were talking a lot.

  "Which Zhou family?"

  "Dan Tu Zhou!"

  "How could it be them? Lord Zhou Chao is a great Confucian famous in the Wei Dynasty!"

  "Hey, Lord Zhou Chao is wise and confused for a while. In order to save his son Zhou Han, he actually took the whole family on board. It's really not worth it!"

  "Who said it wasn't, Shilin was criticized all over the place, and the memorial to save Zhou Han flew to His Majesty's table like snowflakes. It was only a matter of time before His Majesty released Zhou Han. Now it's better..."

  Similar discussions were staged in academies, restaurants, and teahouses in many parts of the country. The unanimous opinion of everyone was that the Zhou family was too impatient.

  After all, no matter what the emperor did wrong, trespassing in the Heavenly Prison is an unclean charge. With this charge in hand, who else would dare to speak for them?

Chapter 58

  On the Golden Palace.

  Yan Ge sat proudly on the dragon chair, the annoying Zhou family was finally taken over by him, and the group of arrogant and arrogant Confucians also kept their mouths shut, and his ears finally became much clearer.

  Of course, the ethos of this Shilin is to be treated once and for all, but before the time is right, the matter of the Zhou family is in front of us, and this group of people will always be more restrained in the future.

  No one dared to point at the emperor's nose and shout a few words.

  In addition, after cleaning up the Zhou family, he also gained 3 points of fainting because he became the first emperor in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty who deliberately framed his subjects, which is also an unexpected joy.

  And now, it's time for the items he exchanged from the system mall a few days ago to show up.

  Yan Ge cleared his throat and read out several plans he had prepared to the ministers according to the written script.

  The first is to announce the establishment of the Municipal Yifu, and transfer Ge Jianzhang to serve as the Shiyi Shangshu Tongping Shangshu Pushe.

  The Shiyi Mansion is on the same level as the Sinong Mansion. Originally, the Si Nong Mansion was in charge of all walks of life in the world. Now the Shiyi Mansion and the Sinong Mansion are divided into responsibilities.

  The Municipal Yifu was mainly responsible for commerce and handicrafts, while the Simongfu was in charge of agriculture.

  In addition to the Yifu and Situ's Mansion, Yan Ge also announced the reorganization of the Situ Mansion. The former Sagong Linsong was transferred to the Situ Mansion. The Situ Mansion was responsible for managing the household registration and taxation of the whole country.

  In this way, the functions and powers originally mixed under the jurisdiction of the Sinong Mansion were clearly divided into three categories.

  Situ Mansion, Shiyi Mansion, and Sinong Mansion stand as three pillars, and are in charge of household registration and taxation, commercial handicrafts, and agriculture. The three jointly control the national treasury.

  In this case, the highest economic power of the Great Wei is jointly controlled by the top officials of the three houses, Situ Lin Song, Da Sinong Zhang Feng, and Shi Yi Shang Shu Ge Jianzhang.

  Nominally set up three government envoys, in charge of financial power, but this position of extreme power is temporarily vacant, because there is no person with enough prestige and ability to serve.

  In terms of official rank, Situ was originally on the same level as Sikong and one rank higher than Da Sinong. After this reorganization, the original minister Ge Jianzhang and the former Da Sinong Zhang Feng are equivalent to an official promotion, while the former Situ Lin Song Although there is no promotion in the official position, Situ has more power than Sikong, so it is equivalent to going further.

  These three have thus become the hottest figures in Dawei politics at present.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty, Ron!" The three of them lay on the ground and kowtowed loudly.

  Although Lin Song was dissatisfied with Yan Ge's actions during this period, he still very much agrees with Yan Ge's decision this time.

  In fact, some of the previous financial problems of Dawei were also blamed on financial management.

  System chaos.

  Dawei started his country with agriculture, and when he started, he only focused on agriculture. Therefore, he was in charge of the world's finances as a Dasinong. Now that all industries are prosperous, it is no longer the era when a Dasinong can lead the overall situation. Therefore, it is of great benefit to make this reform now, and it is very conducive to the implementation of power and positioning in promoting economic development.

  Not only Lin Song, but other ministers also saw the potential of Yan Ge's reform of the financial sector system, and they all applauded in their hearts:

  I didn't expect His Majesty, who was ignorant in the past, to have such a sharp mind.But His Majesty has never been in charge of local governments or managed finances. Why is he so familiar with the drawbacks of the current Great Wei's economic management system?

  Not only in my heart but also a layer of admiration for Yan Ge.

  Just as the ministers praised Yan Ge's foresight, Yan Ge continued to instruct Ge Jianzhang, the newly appointed Minister of the Municipal Yifu, on the next work plan.

  "Ge Aiqing, our newly established Municipal Yifu must do these things well."

  "First, open the sea ban. Great Wei has closed the customs since the founding of the Taiwu Emperor, so that the rare treasures of the Great Wei cannot be circulated to foreign countries in exchange for real gold and silver, and the rich overseas products cannot flow into the territory as a supplement. Closure means backwardness, backwardness. We will be beaten! Therefore, from now on, Da Wei will completely lift the sea ban, and encourage domestic merchants to go to overseas countries for overseas trade!"

  "Second, policies support commerce. Certain security protections are given to those engaged in commercial circulation in various places. The local officials maintain an encouraging attitude towards commercial development and open as many fields as possible to businessmen. We must cut off any form of discrimination against businessmen."

  "Third, improve business management. Establish corresponding market institutions in various places to regulate business order and maintain fair trade."

  "Fourth, establish government-run handicrafts and commercial departments. Maintain the government monopoly on salt, weapons and copper coins, but set up more professional departments for management. Other industries are not allowed to be monopolized by the government, and government-run handicrafts are equal to private handicrafts. Participate in market competition. At present, the government-run handicraft industry takes textiles and tea as pilots, establishes a textile bureau and a tea bureau, and continues to explore other fields.”

  "Your Majesty Shengming!" Ge Jianzhang said sincerely.Although Ge Jianzhang was a jinshi, he has never been the kind of person who can't learn from the past, and he often takes over the country's economic practice.

  But other ministers in the audience seem to have a lot of opposition.One of them came out and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that the policy of opening the sea ban needs to be considered. When Taizu founded the country, the coast of our country was often harassed by Japanese pirates and pirates, and the foreign ghosts selling goods at the port even disturbed the market order. I The kingdom of heaven is rich in products, so why should we trade with foreign countries and bear the risks that come with it?”

Chapter 59

  Hearing this, Wang Meng, who was beside him, couldn't stand it any longer, and also came out and said, "I want to ask this person, although Dawei is vast and rich in resources, how is it compared to the vast Mengyuan Continent, and compared to the vast and endless ocean? how?"

  "Of course not."

  "Then why do you dare to say that our country does not need to exchange with foreign countries?"
