The System Made Me a Fool

　　Yan Ge took his wife and concubines and knelt in front of the queen mother and said.

　　"Oh, get up, get up, my old lady's Cining Palace is rarely so lively!"

　　The queen mother laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, she hurried over to help Yan Ge and the others up one by one.

　　"Oh my emperor, apart from Xiao Peiyao and Xiao Daji, when did there become so many more beauties like angels in this palace?"

　　Surrounded by a group of peerless beauties, the old lady exclaimed.

　　To say that the relationship between women is really unclear, with more and more beauties in the palace, the previous hostile relationship between Queen Lin Peiyao and Concubine Yan Daji has been completely lifted.

　　As for the queen mother, seeing that there are more and more women of various identities in the palace, Daji, whose identity is still relatively innocent, has become less obtrusive, and the relationship between the three people is very harmonious.

　　During the banquet, the Queen Mother looked to the left and looked around, and wanted to chat with any girl she saw.

　　The tall Bao Si was quickly noticed by her: "How cold this girl is, is she being bullied by Hao'er, tell Ai's family, Ai's family will help you clean him up."

　　"Qi to the queen mother, the emperor is very good to me, please don't worry about the queen mother."

　　When Bao Si saw that the Queen Mother came to her, she immediately.

　　He frowned slightly.

　　Since that day, Yan Ge and Bao Si became close to each other, but in front of other people, she still always looked cold.

　　This also led her to be a maverick in the palace, what a friend.

　　"This little girl does look like a country, but her temperament is a bit too cold. You must cultivate it well in the future, Emperor."

　　"Yes, mother."

　　Yan Ge replied, while rubbing Bao Si under the table, a red cloud flew up on Bao Si's face and glared at Yan Ge.

　　"Oh, this little girl is the one... She sings very nicely, and it looks like she's very pretty."

　　The queen mother said to Ran Yingying again.

　　Ran Yingying said quickly: "Don't dare, thank the queen mother for her love, I'm still far behind my sisters."

　　She considered herself to be of low birth and cowardly by nature, so she was always cautious in the palace.

　　"Why should my sister be humble, my sister also thinks that she has some talent in singing, but she feels far behind her!"

　　At this time, Tong Su said aloud.

　　"Sister Tong Su, don't belittle yourself, sister was also the known gold in the hands of the late emperor.

　　Bailing, it's just that I may be older now, and my voice is not as good as before, but the foundation is still there."

　　Daji said with a smile.

　　But Tong Su's face changed when she heard her words.

　　Daji's words seem to be complimenting her, but anyone with a little brain can hear the implication.

　　Da Ji's words first mentioned that she was the woman of the previous emperor, and then mentioned that she was older than the other concubines. These two points have both poked into the heart of Concubine Chen! Tong Su has not yet attacked Daji, but Qi Yun spoke first: "Sister Yan, don't patronize and praise others, you are also the first in the harem of dance skills, and they all say that your dance has the shadow of a fox."

　　Qi Yun took Daji and was said to be a fox spirit to stab her, and Daji's face turned pale.

　　Lin Peiyao doesn't have a cold with Tong Su, so the two of them are somewhat targeted towards Tong Su.

　　At the same time, Tong Su and Qi Yun are relatively older than the others, they usually walk closer, and they bring a Ran Yingying who has a good relationship with Tong Su. The three of them basically form a small group, which means that the two sides are confronting each other. .

　　Coupled with Bao Si, who is not close to anyone, and Gu Nianxin, who is half inside the palace and half outside the palace, the layout of the palace is more complicated than before.

　　At this time, the empress dowager was a little embarrassed to see the atmosphere, so she quickly changed the topic: "Hey, emperor, at this time your favorite silver phoenix deer antler soup, you should eat it while it's hot, you also eat more, this is the best thing. nourished."

　　Only then did the concubines withdrew their expressions and put on their meal with smiling faces, but the smell of gunpowder could no longer dissipate.

　　Yan Ge couldn't help but feel a little pain in the ass. Now the main beauties in the palace are no more than these seven or eight, famous, and even so, if more beauties are accepted in the future, the banquet is halfway through, and the queen mother suddenly tapped on the table: "Everyone, the old lady can I have some things to ask of you."

　　Yan Ge and several beautiful concubines looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously.

　　Lin Peiyao asked, "What is the Queen Mother's order?"

　　The empress dowager said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, that's all, the Aijia also wants to hug the grandson."

　　As soon as these words came out, the faces of the concubines all turned red.

　　But it is really strange to think about it, the dragon is fierce and fierce, but there is no sign of pregnancy.

　　"Oh mother, don't rush this matter."

　　Yan Ge smiled bitterly.

　　Only he himself understands the principle, and this can be regarded as a small drawback of the body strengthening card.

　　After listening to Yan Ge's words, the queen mother said dissatisfiedly: "What is the emperor talking about, the issue of the emperor's heir is no less than any major event in the world! The Ai family announced that the concubines present here were the first to become pregnant, and the Ai family named her as a noble concubine. If the queen is pregnant, you will be given an extra rank, and the Aijia will ask the emperor to confer the title of the king!"

　　As soon as this statement came out, the little stars in the eyes of the concubines all lit up! Mother is precious by the child, this sentence is not... a joke.

　　Especially now that no one of the concubines in the harem is pregnant, and the queen mother is rewarded with a lot of money, the child born first will definitely be loved by thousands, and the mother's identity will rise accordingly.

　　On the other hand, if there is no pregnancy, even if this concubine is favored for a while, there are countless beauties in the palace, and there will always be new people joining, no one can guarantee that they will be favored forever, and what they can really rely on is that they can give birth to a dragon child.

　　Otherwise, even if you are a queen, your status will inevitably be threatened one day, not to mention the beautiful young women who are already slightly older than Qi Yun.

　　On the surface, all the concubines showed their expressions to the Queen Mother's words, but secretly, they all rallied and geared up.

　　Of course, the final effect of human creation can only be seen after a while.

　　Soon after the year, Fan Li submitted to Yan Ge the financial report since the implementation of the economic reform after taking office, which greatly pleased Yan Ge.

　　征收的新税中,改革后的所得税,产业税和田产税总计达到212万两白银商业流转税等合计也有221万两白银而关税一项则更加恐怖,总计超过了400万两白银!新税总征税超过800万两白银!超过前年财政收入的总和!要知道,新税还仅仅只征收了半年而已!然而新税所得还仅仅是财政盈余的一部分,此外还有官营手工业收入进账国库超过300万两,国人员编制革缩减开支超过100万两!此外,由于严歌把皇家代理商人的分成收入也全部计入国库,这部分宁克给的200万两白银分成也计入国库.

　　Therefore, in the more than half a year after the economic reform last year, the national fiscal increase exceeded 1.

　　4 taels of silver.

　　Even after two large-scale wars against the Xiongnu and the rebels against the northwest in the past year and several military reforms, the equipment has been updated, and there is a huge military expenditure.

　　Coupled with the extravagant consumption of Yan Ge's construction of wine pond, meat forest, Lutai and summer resort, the current surplus of the treasury is still more than 400 million taels! You must know that Yan Ge has just taken over this mess, and the treasury has lost 500 million taels of silver! Feilu reminds you : Three things to read, collect, push

Chapter 98

　　This time and again, the changes that Yan Ge's New Deal has brought to the entire country is clear at a glance.

　　So far, no one doubted Yan Ge's New Deal policy, Fan Li's administrative ability as the chief financial officer was obvious to all, and the court and the public were excited by the fact that Wei's wealth was increasing day by day.

　　Although Yan Ge still has many flaws in the minds of many people, such as being greedy for pleasure, destroying Confucianism, and often coming up with ridiculous ideas, but at least in the point of governing the country, he must not be allowed to be a prosperous country and a strong soldier. Call it a fool! As for Yan Ge himself, he cares not only about the country's income, but also the income from points.

　　As the treasury became more and more full, the construction of Buddhist temples and Lujiang Mountain Resort in various places went unexpectedly smoothly.

　　Although a large number of Buddhist temples have been built, the architectural requirements of the Buddhist temples are not as stringent as those of the Summer Resort, and the scale and decoration are all simple, so the progress is faster than that of the Summer Resort, only more than two months have passed. "Ten Temples"

　　The project is officially completed! [-] points have been successfully obtained.

　　The 2 points rewarded by the Four Hundred and Eighty Temple Missions plus the remaining points, as well as the stupor value accumulated by Yan Ge’s playing games during this time, now the number of points in Yan Singer has exceeded 3 points. Finally, we can start to make up for the previously planned points gap.

　　He first spent 2 points in exchange for a sufficient number of soldiers, and successfully converted a large number of spearmen with strength.

　　Then use "Silver Gun Effect Festival"

　　Banner, and upgrade all these spearmen to rank silver spear guards.

　　The number of Silver Spear Festival was successfully expanded to 1! Then he spent another [-] to upgrade the Roaring Tiger Guard Talisman to "Tiger Ben Army"

　　banner.

　　Since the Roaring Tiger Guard is a rank of special forces, the use of the Tiger Ben army flag only requires the soldiers to reach rank.

　　Although class-level taxis are already very useful veterans in the military, they are generally not difficult to find.

　　Moreover, since Zhao Yun was in charge of the Guards, Li Jing, Li Cunxu and Dian Wei have been arranged to come to the Guards for regular training. Therefore, the training level of the Guards has improved rapidly. Finally, there are still many soldiers who are skilled in the use of shields and halberds. , Therefore, the number of Hu Ben Army's expansion has exceeded the previous plan, directly reaching 7000 people and [-]! Now Yan Ge's highest level of combat power has three arms: Black Armored Dragon Cavalry, Silver Spear Effect Jiewei and Jade Jian Ji, in order to keep the Hu Ben army with the largest number of people from falling behind, Yan Ge deliberately used all the remaining points to purchase a blueprint of a popular heavy halberd weapon in the system mall.

　　Generally speaking, the improvement effect of light weapons on a class is not very huge, so the price of its drawings is not over [-].

　　But then... it also depends on what kind of troops are targeted.

　　The Roaring Tiger Guard itself is a powerful class of arms, suitable for defense and rushing. After strengthening the weapon, it is the icing on the cake. Therefore, the current strength has completely surpassed the level. Yan Ge estimates that it should be rated as + level between the level and the level.

　　In addition, out of the [-] million taels of silver surplus in the national treasury, Yan Ge also spent [-] million taels with a big hand to completely update the weapons, armors, horses, battlefield, defense and siege weapons for the Praetorian Guards, including the previous ones. The thunderbolt shot in the tomb of Liang Taizu also provided large-scale equipment to the Imperial Guard.

　　Therefore, the current Praetorian Guard can be described as armed to the teeth, and its combat effectiveness is not what it used to be.

　　Yan Ge also invested heavily in the Black Armored Dragon Rider, spending a lot of money to expand to [-] people.

　　In this way, the defense of the capital and the reorganization of the Central Army have been completely completed. The [-] Guards + [-] Black Armored Dragon Cavalry, [-] Silver Spears + [-] Tiger Army can be regarded as strong and powerful! Shortly after the completion of the adaptation of the defenders of the capital, Wang Meng also presented his first new year strategy to Yan Ge: "cutting the vassal"

　　The central government of the Great Wei is suffering from the vassals. Those princes, kings, and ministers who support their own troops not only harm the people of one side, but also ask for huge sums of money from the court every year, even when Yan Ge has clearly ordered the reduction of annual rewards last year. , still have to take nearly [-] million taels of silver from the imperial court.

　　In addition, the reforms in the areas controlled by these vassal towns cannot be implemented, so the actual loss of fiscal revenue exceeds [-] million taels! It can be accepted, the vassal town system has developed to the point where it is completely sucking the blood of the imperial court! Of course, the vassal town system needs to be changed, Everyone knows that it is imperative to cut the vassal, and everyone knows it, but how to cut the vassal has become a big problem.

　　If the policy of cutting down the vassal is too strong, it will only arouse large-scale resistance of the vassal, and it is easy to cause unrest in the whole country! But if the policy of cutting the vassal is too light, those vassal towns will not honestly hand over their military power to the court. , because they are used to being arrogant in the local area, how can they be willing to give up the power in their hands and give up their own tigers in the mountains

　　Therefore, Wang Meng thought about it again and again, and finally came up with a relatively balanced strategy for reducing the vassal. Generally speaking, the implementation should be firm, but the tone should be soft.

　　After all, these vassal towns were people who made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty at the beginning of their establishment. Even today, the vassal towns on the border bear the burden of defending against foreign enemies and barbarians, and some vassal town leaders still maintain their respect for the imperial court. Heart.

　　Therefore, these people must not be beaten to death with one stick, and they must be tactfully and softly appeased in their posture.

　　In view of this, Wang Meng's edict to cut down the vassals read out in the courtroom is also very skillful: "Recalling back then, when Emperor Taiwu established his kingdom, all the vassal kings and troops made great contributions to the vassal, and they have worked hard for many years to guard the rivers and mountains for my great Wei. , The credit is unparalleled, I can hardly count it.

　　However, to this day, He Qinghaiyan, all industries are prosperous, I really can't bear to see all of you Aiqing still taking this great responsibility, suffering from their hardships, painstaking efforts, and dedication."

　　"Therefore, I hereby issue this decree, determined to abolish all the vassal towns in Wei, and to restore the leisure of all the nobles. All the abolished vassal towns, the leaders will be increased by officials and nobles, and they will treat each other generously. I will also hold a banquet in the capital for the sake of You all take the wind and wash the dust"

　　The meaning of this imperial decree can be summed up as follows: the emperor knows your merits and is sympathetic to your hard work, so he ordered the abolition of the vassal towns and gave you a leisure time. If you don’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, just obey! Although the imperial decree’s tone was gentle, Yan Ge’s plan to cut the vassal in the court was very harsh, and he was fully prepared to deal with the “decree to cut the vassal”

　　consequences.

　　First, all parts of the country went into a state of alert completely secretly. Chen Lei instructed the Privy Council to deploy the local army of the Wei Dynasty to be on high alert, to investigate all suspicious persons, to expand the scope of investigation, and to pay attention to every move of the vassal towns. What kind of change, the local defenders will not be caught by surprise! Second, the military aircraft department must also be highly mobilized, analyze the national report on the withdrawal of the feudal lords every day, and regularly report it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for Yan Ge to review.

　　The Military Aircraft Department must be ready to dispatch the Central Army to help the place at any time.

　　The third is that the upper and lower levels of the imperial court have a unified voice and issued a death order. This time, the withdrawal of the vassal will be carried out to the end, and it will never be changed due to any personal will of anyone, or the vassal's intercession, cheating, etc.

　　These measures have summed up the experience and lessons of the failure of the withdrawal of the feudal lords in the past few dynasties, and if they can be implemented, they will be very helpful to the withdrawal of the feudal lords.

　　But this time, what made Yan Ge gratified was that almost no courtiers raised objections, but they were united, united, and determined to get this matter right.

　　This shows that the withdrawal of the feudal vassal is also well-received. Yan Ge can make this decision so resolutely in the third year of his ascension, which fully shows his wiseness and martial arts, and also ushered in a cheer! In the process of cutting down the vassal, the resistance encountered is far beyond the previous imagination.
