Moreover, the establishment of such a cabinet is not the same as in history.

In the cabinets in history, the decision-making power rests with the emperor, but Xia Ji's set up is centered on Cao Changqing.

It has the power to implement policy on his behalf.

As for the remaining cabinet ministers, although Xia Ji asked these ministers to recommend them, they actually planned to adopt the form of election from the people.

The reason for this is because the brain drain in Daxia is too serious now.

Although it is more risky to do so.

But with Cao Changqing's suppression, nothing would go wrong.

But when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they couldn't help looking at the six ministers.

Presumably, the establishment of the cabinet is small, in fact, it wants to weaken the power of the six ministers.

This can be seen from Li Si's imprisonment.

Moreover, everyone knows it well.

If you want to change the current court, you must take back the power from the six ministers.

He Shen's face changed slightly, but he didn't say much.

He had long discovered that Renhuang Xia was extremely difficult, and today a sword god appeared out of nowhere.

It made him tremble to the extreme.

Not to mention, look at the attitudes of the other six ministers.

Perhaps it was already subdued by Xia Ji.

"As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Bao Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, will take over for the time being."

...........

The court will end soon.

Although it was the first court meeting, most of the people were silent.

Not only because of Xia Ji's display of power.

They also had some braids that Xia Ji took advantage of.

After discussing these major events, everyone also began to report the disasters that occurred in the places under their jurisdiction.

Xia Ji, on the other hand, came up with many solutions in an orderly manner.

For a while, all the ministers refreshed their understanding of the Emperor.

only.

Only one thing remains undecided.

That is the newly established cabinet, except for Cao Changqing, who is also the prime minister and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Except for the left and right ministers, the rest of the cabinet ministers have not yet made a decision.

Among most people's guesses.

Instead of Xia Ji wanting to establish a new organization to take back the power in the hands of the six ministers.

It's more like wanting Cao Changqing to completely control the court.

Outside the palace gate.

Many officials walked towards the mansion.

He Shen frowned: "Your Majesty wants to weaken the power in the hands of the few of us, but there is no need to concentrate all the power on Cao Changqing."

The six Shangshu can still check and balance each other.

If the power is taken back, these powers can only be controlled by the emperor.

Rather than Xiangbang.

This is also the reason why Daxia has not had a Xiangbang since a hundred years ago.

Because Xiangbang is the head of all officials, if he is loyal, he can naturally be used by the emperor.

But if you have two minds.

Just like today's great Qin Lu Buwei, he was in charge of the court and led to the fall of imperial power.

"Your Majesty's decision is naturally justified. Don't underestimate Cao Changqing with your lord."

Pei Ju spoke lightly without explaining too much.

Although he is insane.

But when he is awake, his thinking is meticulous and his observations are meticulous.

Whether it's a human cat, or Cao Changqing, or Li Chungang who defeated the sword demon with one move today.

Everything is like water without roots, as if it appeared out of thin air.

Pei Ju guessed that it was very likely that the emperor brought out the person from the arsenal.

But he couldn't know whether there was such a background in the arsenal.

but.

These things are not what Pei Ju is worried about.

According to Xia Ji, as long as he can complete the allocation of money for this disaster relief, he will be able to obtain the essence of the dragon vein to cure madness.

"Let's go quickly, I have to revise the latest bill." Bao Zheng quickened his pace a little.

"My lord He, Your Majesty is not as simple as you imagined. Now that Dongchang has the power to supervise all officials, don't have any other thoughts." Yu Qian looked at He Shen, but he spoke earnestly.

Hear this.

He Shen's eyes widened: "I was the first to show my loyalty to His Majesty, and you all came to beat me up?"

Hearing this, Wang Anshi also laughed: "It's not because I'm afraid that Mr. and I won't be able to change our previous habits."

He Shen snorted coldly and quickened his pace a little.

He was indeed a big corrupt official before, and even most of the corrupt officials in the imperial city were traced to him in the end.

But nothing happened to him.

Because of this, He Shen already had no other thoughts.

Since Emperor Xia Ji wanted to revive the Great Xia, how could He Shen be a stumbling block?

"I'll show you, Shen and I are also two-sleeved!".

Chapter 36 The people of the family are all charming

The first pilgrimage ended soon.

But Xia Ji was still above the main hall.

But there are still some things that have not been dealt with.

It is those families.

Don't think that the aristocratic family has no power, so they can dispose of it at will.

They control almost all the economic lifelines of Daxia. If they cannot be persuaded, then the situation that Daxia will face is still very dangerous.

After dismissing all officials.

Only then did Xia Ji say: "Go and bring those people from the aristocratic families."

Since the start of the coronation ceremony, they have been watching the ceremony from one side.

Now that the court meeting is over, they are still waiting outside.

soon.

Under the summons of the guards, those from the family were brought up.

Zhao Shen, the head of the Zhao family, Jia Changyi, the head of the Jia family, Lu Qian, the head of the Lu family, and Qian Tongtian, the head of the Qian family.

These four people are the heads of the four largest families in the Great Xia Imperial City.

"Grassmen see Your Majesty." All four of them saluted respectfully.

Whether it is the power and influence displayed by the Emperor, or the background behind him.

are enough to earn their respect.

But most importantly, the Human Sovereign agreed to their request.

This shows that everything is still under discussion.

"You guys came here because of the law that was promulgated last night." Xia Ji said lightly, explaining the reason for their visit.

Zhao Shen, Jia Changyi, Lu Qian, and Qian Tongtian were all taken aback.

Then nodded.

Zhao Shen said directly, "That's right, we are here just for the law promulgated last night."

"Your Majesty now wants to bring Daxia back to its heyday, I can see that, but is it too much to target the aristocratic family?"

"After all, taxes alone account for [-] to [-]% of net profit every year."

Speaking of which.

Jia Changyi, Lu Qian, and Qian Tongtian also all said: "That's exactly the case, if things go on like this, we will have to live in exile."

The reason why the aristocratic family exists is that it has hooked up with many officials.

Unexpectedly, the officials they relied on before were all arrested by Xia Ji with thunderous means.

Now it has lost its reliance, coupled with increased taxes.

After a while, the power of the family will be greatly weakened.

At that time, it will be impossible to control many commercial firms and the economic lifeline of Great Xia.

"Do you think the current tax is too heavy?" Hearing this, Xia Ji chuckled lightly.

It seems that they did not realize their true thoughts.

It is true to weaken the power of these aristocratic families and bring back the economic lifeline of Daxia.

But more, they still want to use this to break the dominance of the family.

To know.

Today's officials in Daxia are all from aristocratic families.

This is a very bad situation.

After the court is monopolized by the aristocratic family, it will only lead to the growing power of the aristocratic family, and later it will start to interfere with the court.

After weakening the economy controlled by the family.

Xia Ji planned to start implementing the imperial examination system and open schools on a large scale.

But before that, the problem of empty treasury must be solved first.

Otherwise, there is simply no energy left to do these things.

Xia Ji looked at the people at the bottom of the steps.

He said lightly: "Right now, that's just a tentative draft, and it will be changed later."

"In my plan, the tax that the aristocratic family will bear will be [-]% of the total income."

[-]%? !

Hear this.

Zhao Shen, Jia Changyi, Lu Qian, and Qian Tongtian all turned pale.

Thirty percent of the tax is already tantamount to digging their flesh.

[-]%, and [-]% of the total income.
