Chapter 35 Buying People's Hearts(1/2)
"Um?"
"Why did I harm you?"
Guo Tianyi was puzzled. Is this old guy out of his mind?
"Your Highness, do you know that the veteran has advocated reducing the vassal status for a long time?"
"I know, so what?"
"Your Highness, do you know that all the princes in the world hate me deeply?"
"Oh, you mean, if the vassal reduction fails, these princes will attack you, right?"
"Exactly." Wang Yuan said helplessly, "Your Highness, I have gone out of my way to cut the vassal status, and you come here again. If those princes don't dare to offend you, Your Highness, why don't they dare to offend the old minister?"
"Haha." Guo Tianyi smiled faintly, patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Master Wang, your idea may be right, or it may not be right."
"did you know."
"You are an official of my Dafeng."
"I promise you that the princes in the world will not do anything to you."
"Because my desire to reduce the vassal status is ten times and a hundred times stronger than yours!"
"I even kill relatives of my own mother's clan. Do you think the princes in the world hate me more or hate you more?"
Hearing the sound, Wang Yuan fell silent.
Yes, he mainly wanted to express his dissatisfaction.
He also admired Guo Tianyi's policy and theory very much, it was indeed much better than his policy and theory.
It can be said that the princes can be disintegrated from within without a single blow.
Another point is that Guo Tianyi really even took action against his own relatives, and the Ministry of Punishment directly sentenced him to life imprisonment.
This also made Wang Yuan couldn't help but admire him.
"Your Highness, this old minister is stupid."
"I will definitely assist Your Highness in the future."
Wang Yuan bent down and his voice became more sincere.
This is a complete statement.
He is a minister who is die-hardly loyal to the imperial power. As a legalist leader, he naturally has to serve the imperial power.
It was precisely because of Guo Tianyi's recent performances that Wang Yuan made up his mind.
"Master Wang, there is no need to be polite." Guo Tianyi supported Wang Yuan and said enthusiastically, "I will ask you for advice on many things in the future. If there is anything that I cannot do well, just mention it."
"I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Wang Yuan was so flattered, how could he withstand the cordial greetings of a polite and virtuous corporal like Guo Tianyi?
Besides, I can only give Guo Tianyi some political advice.
As for other places...
His Royal Highness the King of Han is a man who can speak well and compose five hundred poems in one breath.
You don’t dare to give advice in other aspects at all?
"Okay." Guo Tianyi patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "You can do whatever you have to do. I will just hang around here and learn by myself."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Many ministers saluted one after another and then returned to their respective posts.
Immediately, Guo Tianyi started strolling around the cabinet.
Occasionally, I also read memorials from various places.
Most of the unimportant ones are approved by the cabinet and can only be passed after a consensus vote.
For some important documents, the cabinet ministers will write out their suggestions and hand them over to the imperial study room, which requires the imperial pen to approve.
If all the information was handed over to the emperor, wouldn't the emperor be exhausted to death?
This model looks good.
But there are also disadvantages.
Not long after, Guo Tianyi sat in front of a desk and took out a blank bamboo sketch and started writing.
When Wang Yuan saw this, he was curious and came behind Guo Tianyi to watch quietly.
But the more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened.
Just because what Guo Tianyi wrote was not about state governance, but about irrelevant things.
For example, the cabinet's office hours, office mode...
What's even more outrageous is that he also wrote his name in it, saying that his work is cumbersome, bloated and inefficient?
"Your Highness, what do you want to do by writing this?" Wang Yuan couldn't help it and asked aloud.
"oh?"
"Lord Wang."
"I want to optimize the cabinet and improve your office efficiency."
"For example, I just saw that each of your poems needs to have something in common, but many of them are trivial matters. Why not classify the poems from various places into A, B, C, D and so on...?"
"Also, you must balance work and rest."
"You are my great ministers. As a king, you should also be considerate of your subordinates. You have been working for an hour without getting up and moving around. Do you know that sitting for a long time can easily cause disc herniation in the waist...?"
"And..."
"Yes, and this. After optimizing the work content, you can get off work earlier, and you can go home and rest earlier..."
"And here..."
"Huh?"
"Master Wang, are you listening to what I am saying?"
Guo Tianyi looked at the stunned Wang Yuan beside him and waved.
"Your Highness, please accept the courtesy of this veteran."
Wang Yuan's eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground with a plop and bowed to Guo Tianyi.
The same goes for other officials.
After listening to Guo Tianyi's words, they were completely moved.
A king should be considerate of his subordinates.
Just this sentence moved them to the extreme.
I have been an official for many years, and I only know that those who eat the emperor's salary should share the emperor's worries. I have never heard of the saying that a emperor should be considerate of his subordinates?
Although they don’t know what lumbar disc herniation means.
But it's really hard on the waists of old men like them after sitting for a long time.
Every now and then I have to see a doctor for acupuncture...
Originally, Wang Yuan didn't know what Guo Tianyi meant by writing these irrelevant things, but now it seems that he was trying to find something for them?
Is His Highness, who is so benevolent and decisive, and even hates evil so much that he refuses to recognize his relatives, the model of a wise king?
"Get up quickly."
"You are all my loyal ministers."
"Be nice to you, this is the only thing I can do now."
"I will send someone to His Majesty for this plan later. If you follow my instructions from now on, you will definitely improve your work efficiency..."
"Yes, yes, I obey the order..."
........
The sun is about to set.
Guo Tianyi first went to the imperial study, and then was escorted out of the palace by a team of guards.
In half a day today, Cao Dechun and Mo Feng selected a place.
Many equipment for paper making was also purchased.
When Guo Tianyi arrived at a remote manor outside the city, he saw everyone still busy.
"Mo Feng meets His Highness."
"See Your Highness..."
There were many new faces in the manor, but they were all extremely excited when they saw Guo Tianyi.
To be continued...
