Chapter 411 Impeachment (2)

Based on the analysis of the trends of the Voss Kingdom after the establishment of diplomatic relations, Hu Hengqiu came to the conclusion that the newly appointed Zuoxian King Suo Nanjia has always maintained a good relationship with the caravans of Chu and Qing Dynasties, hoping to achieve economic independence through trade and get rid of the control of the royal city.

This poses a great threat to Guli Wang Pazhuo, who has always relied on exporting cotton as his main source of income.

Because as the tribe that provided war horses to the Voss Kingdom, it was the strongest in combat and the leader of other tribes. Fortunately, the previous Zuoxian King was not good at economics, so his tribe was often constrained by other tribes.

Therefore, no matter how optimistic King Vos is about him, the tribe's overall strength still cannot develop.

But now, the new Zuoxian King Suonan has stepped up his efforts to develop the economy, and the tribe has become more united. The population growth has also increased significantly in recent years, and the number of newborns far exceeds that of other tribes.

If this continues, in just ten years, Suo Nanjia will not have to wait for the throne of King Voss, he can directly enter the palace and unify Voss.

For Pazhuo, the leader of the Tuhuerte tribe, this is an intolerable thing. After all, Pazhuo is the cousin of King Vos and has the same bloodline. If Sonamjia succeeds, won't his family suffer? Disaster?

King Voss doesn’t care, but he does!

The sons of King Voss had the same idea, but they were suppressed too much by their father. His father was wary of them more than he was wary of outsiders.

Only the fourth prince stood out among the brothers. He tried his best to support all the decrees of his father in order to be reused, with the purpose of replacing his uncle, King Zuoxian!

Hu Hengqiu looked at the crumpled secret report:

The fourth prince of the Voss Kingdom, Kelidi, instructed his staff, the former Donglun nobleman Ge Taijing, to contact some bureaucrats of the old Donglun Kingdom in New Lun State, and prepared to follow the Yushitai to impeach Chu Qing, so as to cut off the relationship between Chu Qing and Qing Dynasty. All financial dealings with Sauter.

"Are you just cutting off the financial path to Sote? Don't spread it all over the place! If you kill Chu Qing, do you think Emperor Daxuan will turn against you? Can't you figure out whose financial path you are cutting off? "

Hu Hengqiu almost said it out loud.

The officials’ impeachment has entered the second stage——

Zhao Yushi said: "Your Majesty, when I impeach Qi Zhizhou, I am only impeaching his actions, not the person. After all, Qi Zhizhou is also considering the state's economy;

But the main reason why he did this was because of soybean oil. It should be said that if no one bought soybeans on a large scale and the price of soybeans was comparable to that of grain, Qi Zhizhou would not have made such a bad move;

Now the drought has caused the growth of rice seedlings to be unfavorable, and grain production is bound to be reduced this autumn. National tax revenue will also be affected. The key is that the people will not have enough to eat;

Therefore, the court should punish those who disrupt farming!"

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Yushi, which means: Zhang Yushi, you think so? It's your turn!

Zhang Yushi took a step forward and affirmed: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhao said is true. Today's urgent task is no more important than making the people concentrate on farming;

In order to get people to engage in agriculture, they must pay more attention to farming and mulberry farming. Food is the foundation of the country. If people don't have enough to eat, how can we talk about rejuvenating the family and the country?

Any behavior that induces the people to reduce their numbers or even give up farming is digging into the foundation of Daxuan! Their intentions are to be punished!"

Tao Daren, the censor's chief minister, frowned more and more as he listened. He felt more and more that there was something strange about today's court meeting. To be precise, it was the strange behavior of his subordinates.

They are talking about soybean oil and soybeans, who can say that?

Impeaching one person through another person is a routine practice for officials, but it is always done after a meeting at the Yushitai.

After all, every official has a mysterious and powerful connection behind him, so this method cannot be used lightly.

This time, Yushitai had no plans to impeach these people, at least as a senior leader, he had not arranged these matters.

Listening to the pronunciation of these people's words, it turned out that the target of the attack was an unknown agricultural official?

"Cough...cough!" Tao Daren couldn't help but cough twice, signaling these people to restrain themselves.

It's a pity it's useless.

Sun Yushi had already stood up again: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao and Lord Zhang are right. I am doing the wrong thing by impeaching the magistrate of Xinlun Prefecture;

What I am impeaching is his emphasis on animal husbandry and neglect of agriculture. In the current drought, instead of finding ways to ensure the harvest of food, he changed his mind and developed livestock breeding. This is clearly putting the cart before the horse;

However, if there is no malicious guidance, Song Zhizhou will not develop the local economy in this way. It is inevitable that he has just taken over Xinlun Prefecture and tried various methods to increase local income."

The impeachment of Song Tingshan must be handled with care. His cousin is Concubine De, and she is quite favored.

The impeachment targets of these people are already very specific, and some people might as well say it directly.

Zhao Yushi stepped forward again and said: "I still want to impeach Chu Qing, the minister of cotton affairs!

The mission given to her by the emperor was to find land suitable for planting cotton in various places, but she hindered local farming and ordered the people of Yibin Prefecture to raise chickens and ducks!

Not only that, but the specific number must be limited, and each household must not be less than fifty!"

This is the news that Yushi Zhao just received last night, so it is just right to use it now!

As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court. The voice was not loud, but almost everyone was participating:

A minister who understood the people's livelihood made a calculation: "Fifty? Isn't that too much? An ordinary family only has five or six people, and if it has more children, it can only have a dozen or so children.

There are only two or three adults, and the farmland is less than five or six acres. How much food can these acres produce? After paying the tax, there won’t be enough food for everyone, right? How many chickens and ducks can we raise?”

There are also officials who don’t know much about people’s livelihood, but understand human nature: “If you can’t eat two meals a day, you will starve, and if you can’t afford clothes for a whole year, you will be cold;

Then, if you are hungry and have no food to eat, and you are cold and have no clothes to wear, even a loving mother cannot keep her son. Wouldn’t such a forced order force the people to sell their land and houses in order to obtain children and grandchildren?”

A minister who is well versed in the advantages and disadvantages of officialdom said: "How can she, a 'Scott official', give orders to the head of a government? Who is the prefect of Yibin Prefecture? How can she be allowed to do whatever she wants?"

Hey, let me tell you, you officials, you are impeaching and impeaching every day, but why can't the impeachment be on point? Why is no one impeaching Magistrate Yi Bin for his inaction?"

Seeing that Zhang Yushi had finally picked up the rhythm, but except for Yushi Yanguan, the others were not very enthusiastic. They had to go further and immediately began to "fill in the gaps":

"Yes! I also want to impeach Magistrate Yi Bin. He only considers promoting cotton cultivation. If the people can't wear cotton, they won't die. They can still wear linen, but if they don't have food, they will starve to death!

He was impeached because Si Mian Yuanwailang was a woman and it was difficult to communicate with him more, so he just let it go!

This year's drought affects a wide range of areas. If the people have been busy for a year but have no harvest in the end, what will the people eat? Can they not complain? How will they view the government and the court?

It’s true that Chu Qing is a woman, but she is still an official after all, so the Prefecture should still communicate with her more and explain the pros and cons!”
