Chapter 881 drink poison to quench thirst and solve the dilemma
Everyone watched the prince come out, and each looked different.
The eyes of the officials of the prince's group were full of expectations and admiration. They were the totem they followed, the target of their worship, and the ideal saint in their minds.
The officials of the Fourth Prince's group had extremely complicated eyes. On the one hand, they hated the prince because the prince had been promoting administrative reforms, which touched their fundamental interests. On the other hand, they had to admit that the prince was indeed more like a great wise ruler than the Fourth Prince.
He has a straight and upright personality, is lenient to others, and is strict with himself. He is diligent in government affairs, frugal in the family, and loves the people as much as his son. From every performance he showed when he was a child to every action he had after his reincarnation, he was the best successor to the huge empire of Daqi.
However... his attitude was to defeat the Qiankun God Cult and reform the tax system of scholars and officials.
All of these inevitably angered the two largest interest groups in Daqi, which inevitably led to the division within Daqi.
After the prince came out to kowtow, he stood up and said, "Father, I, Da Qi, are indeed internal and external troubles now."
There is a confusion in the emperor's words. If the prince said that what Ning Tongyi said was true, then the prince had an unshirkable responsibility. If the prince said that it was not true, then Ning Tongyi was a witch that confuses the public and would be immediately questioned.
But the prince is not a good-looking lamp. He did not admit it, but he pointed out the key point: what Ning Tongyi said is true, but he did not say how many are true.
Moreover, before the other people attacked, the prince immediately submitted a memorial and said, "This is the record of experiences and experiences written by my son after visiting everywhere these days."
The eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor went down to take it respectfully and presented it to the emperor. When Zhao Bairen saw it, he found that it was a thick booklet. It opened with dense words inside, and I am afraid there were more than 100,000 words.
Zhao Bairen only looked through the previous pages and threw it aside, saying, "You are the governor, what should you do now?"
The prince said confidently: "Now the income of Daqi is tightening, but the expenses are increasing. Outside, there are Puppet Kingdoms and Dijon Kingdoms in the southeast all year round. Nine Nether Kings are ready to move and are eyeing the northwest. Inside, there are confidant troubles such as the civil unrest in Lingzhou and the corruption of the government. The son thought that the foreign policy must first be to calm the country and should first concentrate on solving the problems of civil unrest and corruption of the government. Only by refreshing the government, reforming the tax system, and increasing the income, can we have more money to pacify the people! The people are safe, and the world is safe, and the world is safe! After the child finished speaking, I hope the father and the emperor can understand it."
"Hmph! The third brother is probably talking about this insane!"
There was no one else who dared to interrupt at this time, only the fourth prince Zhao Liexian. He walked up to take the initiative to fire, which meant that the fourth prince and the prince began to fight barely and fight in person.
The fourth prince walked forward, he kowtowed to Zhao Bairen, and then said to Zhao Hanqing: "Dare you ask the third brother, concentrate on solving the civil unrest? How to solve it? Where is the money? How to refresh the government, how to refresh? How to reform the tax system? How long does it take to solve these problems? After solving these problems, the daylily will be cold! At that time, there is still time to suppress the civil unrest and deal with the devil?"
Zhao Hanqing said with a cold face: "It is important to do things, and it is better to do nothing."
The fourth prince sneered and said, "The situation is urgent now. As the saying goes, it is said that if you are urgent, you should take special measures at special moments!"
Zhao Bairen asked, "Oh? Why are you in a hurry to follow the power?"
Zhao Liexian obviously had done his homework. He talked happily: "The treasury is empty at the moment, and if you want to raise funds, you must find a way to raise funds."
Zhao Bairen was happy and said, "Okay, this method is good!"
Zhao Hanqing said coldly: "My son has objections!"
Zhao Bairen said: "What are the third brother's objections?"
Zhao Hanqing said: "Father, we should take a two-pronged approach at this time. On the one hand, we should rectify the administration of officials and increase revenue and reduce expenditure. On the other hand, we should remeasure the land and eliminate the bad policies of land subsidizing it!"
After saying this, everyone was in an uproar.
What is the bad policy of land delivery? Simply put, in order to pay less rent, tenants send land to the disciples of practicing sects and noble officials who do not need to pay rent. This is equivalent to blatant tax evasion. What does it mean to measure land? Everyone's hearts are like a mirror. Every official has some land under his or her clever robbery, and the origin is unknown. As long as one person pops up in the street to shout for justice when he or she is thoroughly investigated, the fun will be great. Once the name of robbery is verified, it will be light.
And who is the prince in front of you? This is the selfless Holy Prince! He even dares to go to the prince’s mansion even if he pleads with him!
Why?
The prince ate the simplest three dishes and one soup every day. He doesn’t change his robe once a year. If it is broken, the princess will repair it by hand!
Such a prince, how dare you go to his house to plead with him?
I'm afraid I'm not going to investigate immediately, I'll chop it and feed it to the pig!
Such a prince is very popular with the people and middle and lower-level officials, but many wealthy nobles regard the prince as a devil!
Before Zhao Bairen could speak, Zhao Lie sneered first: "Okay, the enemy is in front of you. It seems that the third brother wants to make us make a fuss before we can give up!"
As he said that, he said to Zhao Bairen: "Father, this is a way to kill yourself, and you cannot do it!"
Zhao Hanqing knelt in the hall, and he said in a deep voice: "Father, the king of the king will never come tomorrow. The heavenly tribulation will come, and it will not be in the present. We still have some time. This little time is the time for us to solve internal problems. But if we don't seize this little time, if we miss it, it will be too late to regret it. At that time, the accumulated problems will be difficult to return, and the Great Qi... is in danger!"
Zhao Lie immediately stepped forward to fight the ring, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "Father! Now we should raise a large amount of money first, first provide relief to the victims, to ensure the hearts of the people in the world, and then we should abolish the reforms to ensure the hearts of all officials! In this way, the people in the world are at peace and the officials are at peace, so that we can unite and fight against the devil together!"
Zhao Bairen was excited when he heard this and said, "Oh? Where did this fundraising money come from? Those rich merchants, hum, they are all iron roosters, they should be killed without any penny! However, if you want to rob, that's not OK, otherwise the world will be in chaos!"
Zhao Lie said confidently: "I have a plan to solve the crisis of the emptiness of the national treasury!"
Zhao Bairen said, "Oh? Let's hear it."
Zhao Liexian said: "There are no rich people in the world, many sects of cultivation. They enjoy their achievements and collect wealth. This people's change comes with them, and they should be allowed to pay!"
Li Chengfeng gasped: Is this fourth prince really in the same group as the cultivation world? Has this Qiufeng hit the head of the cultivation sect? Is the leader of the sect going to blow up this guy's head?
Zhao Bairen also took a breath, and hesitated and said, "This matter...isn't it done?"
Zhao Hanqing stared at Zhao Liexian and said coldly: "If the fourth brother can convince the cultivation sect to pay for disaster relief, the third brother is willing to compensate you!"
Zhao Lie snorted first, and he said proudly: "Even ordinary people are unwilling to let them pay for money for nothing. As the saying goes, if you want to get it, you must give it first. The word "will be willing to give" in the world, and only with giving can you gain!"
Zhao Bairenqi said: "What does the sect of cultivation want?"
Zhao Liexian said: "Simple! Two words: Autonomy! The sects of cultivation have their own spheres of influence. They divide their spheres of influence and give them to their sects for autonomy. In this way, if there is a civil unrest, they will handle it themselves. The court has less expenditures and has gotten rid of a big burden. Why not do it?"
After saying this, the Fourth Prince and his group of officials all applauded and responded continuously.
But all the officials of the prince were furious!
Prince Zhao Hanqing looked at Zhao Liexian in shock. His eyes were like a knife and his voice was as iron as iron. He said word by word: "Fourth brother, is this your way?!"
Zhao Lie said proudly: "Not bad! As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be untied! This method can ensure that my Daqi will be worry-free for a hundred years!"
Zhao Hanqing was furious, and he said furiously: "Fart! Fart! Fart!! You are treasoning the country! You are throwing the people of the world to the sects of cultivation. They regard Daqi as their parents, but you regard them as a burden?! Is this what people say?"
As he said that, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Zhao Bairen, and said angrily: "Father, this plan must not be done! This will reduce the burden for a while, but in this way, each sect will be like warlords, and countless independent small kingdoms will be everywhere overnight! The people depend on each sect, and after a long time, they will only know the sect but not the court! At that time, the binding force of the court on each sect will completely disappear, and each sect will definitely attack each other to obtain more land and population! From now on, there will be no peace in the world!! This is a strategy to dig your own grave, the father will make a clear understanding! A clear understanding!!"
Zhao Bairen's face was gloomy and hesitant for a moment.
A fierce quarrel began again in the court, and Li Chengfeng watched coldly. Although he was a practitioner, he knew that if he implemented it according to Zhao Liexian's plan, Da Qi could indeed solve his own problems in the shortest time.
But this is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst. This is not solving the problem, it is throwing the problem to the sect of cultivation, and it is also throwing the power to the sect of cultivation.
The fourth prince’s plan was not to slash at the practice sect, but to send a knife to the practice sect. No, to send a Shangfang sword to the practice sect!
Although each faction has its own sphere of influence, the government is doing taxation and local governance, and even some of the businesses that each faction does have to pay taxes to local governments.
But if all sects are independent and autonomous, then the government will become a lackey of all major sects.
And since then, the main measure of the strength of each faction has become land and population, because as long as each faction continues to expand its sphere of influence, their land and population will naturally continue to expand.
As long as you think about it, you will know that at that time, all factions will definitely attack each other and fight each other. There will be no inch of land in the world, and every place with people will be in war!
This will be the end of the Great Qi Dynasty, and it will inevitably be the disaster day for the people of the world!
This...is a disaster that is more terrifying than the devil coming to the world!
