Three things, it doesn't matter what happened to the Confucius family. If they are dishonest, they will be killed. Including those officials who strongly oppose it, there is no problem in directly confiscating their homes. Maybe there are honest officials who serve the country and the people because they don't understand Wang Yan's talents and strategies, but they do it for the Confucius family.

Zhang Mu. But more of the opponents are large groups for their own vital interests because of their right to speak. Such people dare to represent the world's scholars and Wang Yan when Wang Yan has a hundred thousand troops stationed in Bianjing.

Dialogue is really audacious. It is necessary to cut off a few leaders and then focus on a group of responsive people to carry out infrastructure construction.

The civil servants rebelled in ten years, and they were nothing. After the court was half empty and Bianjing was almost paralyzed, there were no civil servants in the whole north who clamored against the rebellion. As for those who are easy to get into trouble, they cannot withstand agitation.

The passionate scholars no longer resorted to bluffing and making desperate remonstrances. It is true that Wang Yan did not kill many people, but he ransacked many people's homes.

If the family is really poor, then that's it. Just dismiss them and let them become civilians and work for a living. If something is found, then there will be a problem. The family property will be confiscated, the servants will be disbanded, and all the male members of the family over the age of fifteen will be demoted to the throne.

The laborers were placed nearby. The originally majestic officials of the imperial court were basically building the city in Luoyang and moving bricks. It was difficult for them to die even if they wanted to.

As for the remaining two matters of state-owned land and commercial taxes, it is actually not that difficult, but there are enemies everywhere.

He has an army of 100,000 in Bianjing, nearly 50,000 in Shandong, and another 100,000 in Hebei. The Northern Army has 200,000 including the Weiwu Guards, which is 450,000 troops. The Western Army as a whole has become a vassal, although there are also many landlords in the army.

, but the upper echelons of the Western Army have made up their minds to resolutely support Wang Yan's leadership and target anyone who opposes. At the same time, he also sent 5,000 people to train the new army and purify the team. Even if some rebels, they will be killed by the Zhong family and others.

High-level suppression. The number of the Western Army, including Xiang soldiers, rural soldiers, and Fan soldiers, totaled 400,000.

There are a total of 850,000 troops. According to the current exaggeration of military strength, an army of one million is an understatement. With such a military strength, suppressing the north is not a big problem.

This number is definitely false. What is false is not the 150,000, but the original armies of the Song Dynasty except for the Fubei Army and the Weiwu Guard. It is not for any other reason, but because they are eating empty pay, and the establishment of many troops is false.

Awesome. The number of people will definitely not reach 850,000, but around 600,000 should not be a big problem.

The key to the problem is that there are not enough people to implement it. This is a big project that requires a huge number of people. This problem has been solved by the Song Dynasty’s scholars for more than a hundred years. Wang Yan directly recruited students over the age of seventeen and cooperated with them.

Officials from all over the country who have never been successful went into the countryside to measure land and conduct the first tax collection work on merchants in the city.

Of course, if you want people to work, you must have corresponding incentives. If you want to motivate people, you must know what people want. Needless to say, what those students and local officials want is to become an official and make a fortune.

It is impossible to get rich, and whoever gets rich will be punished by the king, but his salary can be increased, which is enough for them to live a decent life. As for becoming an official, he is reforming the official system and will open up a path for promotion for those officials. In addition to their official status, plus

If a person does a good job and is promoted or appointed, he will just do it.

However, in order to prevent officials from taking root in the local area and colluding with local wealthy families, land inspections and tax collection were still carried out in other places. In case of resistance, troops were directly dispatched to suppress and confiscate the houses, and all the men were still used as laborers. This is a precious labor force and cannot be used.

Just kill them all. Even the old man who is dying has to lift two bricks before he dies.

The fastest progress in these two areas is of course Shandong, Hebei and the Gyeonggi region, followed by the northwest region. Due to the contraction of the Western Army's defense line, it withdrew 100,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the local areas. The destination was Luoyang.

This was to quickly pacify the north and carry out reforms with a strong fist. The other point was to go south to fight a unification war. At this point, he thought that moderate reforms were no longer possible, and the only way was to suppress the border with a large army.

As for the hidden dangers brought about by these, Wang Yan is not afraid. It's nothing else. He lives a long life and can ensure that the results of the reform will not be repeated. According to the three hundred years of the ancient dynasty Guozuo, he can take advantage of it.

Nearly one-third. So one generation is dissatisfied, two generations are dissatisfied, and three generations are dissatisfied?

So there is nothing to worry about, just press hard.

The matter has been explained. Although there are basically no officials who are sincere to him, Mr. Wang, and are serious about his work, the goal is there and the means are there. If it is done well, it will be a problem. If it is not done, it will be a problem. And he is not

Without his own channel to obtain information, the emperor was insecure and did not trust others, which was a common problem. Although he was not insecure, he did not trust anyone. Therefore, he still had an intelligence agency in his hands, and this time he directly opened

The government builds teeth.

The agency is that agency, and the name is just a code name, Tingwei, Huangchengsi, etc. It does the work of a spy, so his spy agency is called "Jinyiwei". Mainly because I think this name sounds better, and he used to

He went to such a world again. Even though he didn't do anything related to that world, it didn't stop him from admiring the name.

As for other government structures, the changes are still quite significant.

The three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu were abolished, and Dali Temple was raised to become a separate law enforcement agency. Yushitai was raised and merged into the Metropolitan Procuratorate to become a separate supervisory agency. The Ministry of Household Affairs continued to manage financial affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs became a legislative body.

The Ministry of Personnel still manages the appointment, promotion, and relegation of officials as usual. The new Council Office is the highest administrative agency, which has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Education, the Imperial College, generals, etc., as well as the administrative affairs of various local governments.

The above ministries, in addition to the chief and deputy chief officers of the Council Office, together with the chief officers of other ministries, have a total of seven people. They form a cabinet, led by the chief officer of the Council Office, to jointly handle national affairs.

Because the Board of Governors has been merged into most other departments and involves a huge amount of matters, everything is handled by them, and the government affairs are complicated. Therefore, a group of academic and talkative experts from the Hanlin Academy were brought over to act as think tanks.

The cabinet makes suggestions. Those in the Hanlin Academy are all Jinshi. Although they lack practical experience and many of their opinions are deviated from the reality, their brains are still sufficient. They have no decision-making power, so it is not a problem to act as a think tank. If there are good ideas, they can be used as think tanks.

After the highest authority has seen it, it can be used.

In addition, he merged the Ministry of War into the Privy Council and renamed it the Governor's Office. This was not an official position in the Republic of China, but the highest authority of the military that supervised the leadership of the world's troops. It was only responsible for national military operations and did not have much involvement with the civilian group. Only civilian officials

Is it responsible for logistics supplies, or is it the central government that controls the local army?

Those who govern the country only manage the country, and those who fight only fight the war. In this way, as the emperor, Wang Yan directly controls the legislative power, law enforcement power, financial power, personnel power and the most important military power. With the five powers in hand, he can sit back and relax.

In addition, a police force was also established, which was under the command of the Council Office. It was equivalent to the later Ministry of Public Security. It did the work of the police, which is equivalent to the current government officials and police officers. They are all formal civil servants with high grades.

, now they are still filled by those government officials, but in the future, veterans will gradually take up the positions after being trained.

The administrative divisions still follow the original road, prefecture, county, township, and Bao. The other administrative systems are reformed around the existing structure. After all, is it vertical management? If there are yamen at the top, there are departments below.

As for the most basic administrative unit, this time the Bao Zheng is no longer held by wealthy households in the countryside, but instead is appointed by the government. Several positions have been added, responsible for the public security, people's livelihood, taxation, etc.

Getting rich, etc., these people can also be promoted, can see the future, and work hard.

As for the dissatisfaction of the rich households, there is absolutely nothing. Whoever dares to shout loudly will have his whole family build roads and dig canals on the spot. It is so hard. With a million-strong army in hand, even though half of them are waste, they can control some rich households.

Still easy.

The three redundancies of the Song Dynasty, redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses, were solved by Wang Yan regardless of the fact that everyone in the world would rebel.

His official system and administrative reforms, coupled with the large-scale arrests and demotions, vacated many seats. So many useless yamen were abolished, and the situation of multiple people working in one job was also solved. Government functional departments were streamlined and detailed.

Functional departments are organized and staff are distributed across various places. Even now there are not enough officials, and there are vacancies in many places. This solves the problem of redundant officials.

The Northern Army and the Western Army are currently training at the same time, as well as the 200,000 troops promoted to the central government from Hebei, Shaanxi and other places will also be trained. Those who pass will continue to serve as combat soldiers, and those who fail but have a correct attitude will be allowed to return home.

Joined the police and armed guards. The Xiang army composed of refugees was abolished and became free citizens. However, it was attached to the Ministry of Industry and became a construction team to work and earn money. In this way, the problem of redundant soldiers was solved.

When both of the above are solved, even though there is no longer a clan of Zhao and Song Dynasty, no tribute to the Liao Kingdom, and other things, the expenditure may be greater than originally. After all, these are necessary expenditures. No matter what, when

Officials and soldiers must ensure their military pay.

The salary of civilian officials is already very high. He has maintained the original salary without increasing or decreasing it. However, he has streamlined the army and improved the welfare benefits of the remaining professional soldiers. The number of people has decreased, but the expenses have to be higher.

A lot. Adding the two together, the cost is much higher than before.

But there is a saying that goes well, as long as it is a matter of money, it is not a problem.

He has ordered that "treasure money" be the official currency throughout the country. Although gold, silver, and copper are still in use, they are gradually decreasing. Of course, he cannot force people to use banknotes, but he can control it. After all, he issues people

All are paper money, so it is inevitable that those gold, silver, and copper currencies in the past will become less and less with consumption. What they have to do is to continue to print money.

He is not afraid of currency depreciation. After all, even if he pays too much, it is still within the acceptable range. Moreover, his homes are constantly being searched, and various farmland, grain, grass and treasures are constantly being put into the warehouse. So much of the wealth of the gentry and landlords has been harvested by him, and he has spent two or three dollars on it.

There is no problem at all in the past two or three years. But after two or three years, everything has been basically sorted out, and it will definitely not collapse. It is very safe...

Luoyang is a large construction site, not counting Ziwei Palace. Various infrastructures in the city, such as drainage, hard roads, etc., are all being renovated and constructed to make it look like an imperial capital.

With Luoyang as the capital, the people who are most unhappy must be the people of Bianjing. On the contrary, the people of Luoyang are the happiest. They don't even mention the other policies that Wang Yanxin implemented, and they support this good emperor.

Luoyang has returned to its status as an imperial capital, and the resulting rise in housing prices is good news for the people of Luoyang.

Not to mention the major renovation of various infrastructures and the re-planning of the city this time. Although Luoyang was originally an imperial capital and nothing was bad, it was still not as good as it is now. It felt completely brand new.

Snow is falling in the sky, and it will be New Year's Eve in a month, but the hustle and bustle of Luoyang City has not weakened at all. Although the weather is cold, the energy is still high. People are still in full swing with smoke on their heads.

In the grand and magnificent Wanxiang Palace, there are officials wearing cyan robes, white jade crowns on their heads, and a layer of red patches sewn on the left shoulder, with golden auspicious animals embroidered on the patches. They line up in front of the ministers, facing

In the distance, someone sitting on a pure gold dragon chair with his legs crossed raised his hands and said, "I would like to inform my emperor that the Sheji Altar and the Ancestral Temple have been built, and the enthronement ceremony has been prepared. Please give me your permission."

It is said that it is cold at high places, and emperors are the most lonely. Wang Yan felt that it was impossible not to be lonely. This fucking boss was in the All-Xiang Palace. He was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform. If he had bad eyesight, he wanted to see the one who was talking.

Everyone works hard, and it would be strange if they are not alone. He can also understand that this is for the sacredness of the emperor, but to be honest, among the thousands of ministers below, there are not many fools who believe in this sacredness.

, all they think about is how to make the fool on the high platform believe in this kind of holiness.

To put it simply, whether it is the emperor or the ministers below, whoever believes the other is a fool, and they all want the other to believe.

The speaker was Zong Ze, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was also a famous figure in the history of fighting against the Jin Dynasty, and promoted Yue Fei to the position. He used to be a county magistrate in Shandong, especially the magistrate of Dengzhou. What is Dengzhou? It is the mouth of the sea.

.There used to be a lot of business there, and ships came and went frequently, either going north or south. As one of the top leaders of Dengzhou, Zongze couldn't possibly not know about those things. No matter how well he hid them, they were right under his nose. This is not the Wang family.

Those Imperial City Secretaries in the village, after all, the things in Wangjiazhuang are what Wang Yan wants people to see, and there are many things elsewhere.

Zongze was dissatisfied at first, but later sadly discovered that the whole of Shandong was someone else's territory. If he lifted this lid, he would immediately separate Shandong. Considering the external situation and Wang Yan did provide a lot of support to various parts of Shandong

, leading the people to live a good life, he could only grit his teeth and admit it. Later, he retired directly, out of sight and out of mind. After all, everyone from top to bottom was Wang Yan's people, and he was not happy at work.

Now that Wang Yan is in power, he doesn't have to be so verbose. He directly reports to Zongze and is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and is in charge of the national infrastructure. And the Sheji Altar is wonderful. It was built outside the city. Its function is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Similarly, one worships the grains of heaven and earth, and the other worships distant ancestors, and joins the group.

"Follow the original plan."

He was so angry that his Dantian was filled with anger, and he used the generation technique. His voice spread in this magnificent highest hall, with great majesty and the air of a great emperor.

Zongze bowed to accept the order and continued to stand back in the team.

After waiting for a while, no one said anything. Wang Yan stood up with a swing of his dragon robe, turned around and left. Behind him, the eunuch said angrily, "Retreat from the court".

This is a meeting held on the first day of every month. It’s nothing else. It basically summarizes the work of the past month and makes a report. Of course, I pick out what I can say. There are many hidden things in an empire, and there are many things that are impossible.

They all met at the Great Court Meeting. After all, so many people, Wuyang Wuyang, may have wanted to solve the problem at first, but later it became a battle between different opinions. Therefore, what was discussed at the Great Court Meeting was the work of each department.

progress, and approximate data.

The purpose of this is to let those officials know how far the empire has developed. At the same time, every imperial meeting will be recorded by a dedicated person, compiled into a newspaper, printed, and sent to the hands of local officials. On the other hand, it is also because some things are indeed true.
To be continued...
