Chapter 189 The national policy of unifying Zhongzhou! The national policy of the Wei Dynasty is revealed!
Ten major terms and conditions for inn peace talks.
This matter has spread completely, and the people of Wei are very excited and excited.
Each of these ten clauses is extremely harsh, especially the last one, which is a tentative treaty that will be slowly negotiated based on the different situations of each country.
The meaning is very simple. If one day I see that you are unhappy, I will add another line to you, and then I will be happy. As for whether you are happy or not, it doesn’t matter what happens to Da Wei.
Xu Qingxiao's peace talks at this inn made the people of Wei feel happy.
Since the Northern Expedition, when had the Wei Dynasty been so tough? And when had it been so happy?
Everyone really didn't want to fight this battle at the beginning, but with Xu Qingxiao's miraculous means, they won all the battles in less than a month.
This is a rare victory.
Da Wei won this time. Not only did he win, but he also stood and collected the money.
Of course, Xu Qingxiao also treated the terms differently this time.
It is similar to the fact that he did not participate in the war at all, or that when he participated in the war, he also actively responded to the foreign countries of the Wei Dynasty. Xu Qingxiao was not too harsh and gave certain benefits.
It's just that these benefits are not monetary benefits, but benefits for the development of some countries, such as dividing certain places to these countries, increasing their land area, and suppressing the strength of enemy countries.
In order to achieve a balanced state.
But there are three points that Xu Qingxiao treats equally.
Garrison merchants, garrison troops, and enjoy privileges and preferential treatment.
These three points require all foreign countries to treat each other equally.
The benefits of garrisoning troops need not be mentioned at all. They are equivalent to directly controlling every move of the foreign country. If they dare to cause trouble, they do not need Wei to send troops. The garrisoning troops will directly take action and kill these people.
What Xu Qingxiao really cares about is resident businessmen.
Yes, garrisoning merchants was more important than garrisoning troops. After all, the enemy of the Wei Dynasty was not a foreign country, but the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty.
Even if you are garrisoning troops in a foreign country, if you really want to rebel and sneak around, you might actually succeed in rebelling. Moreover, when it comes time to break up, do you still care whether you garrison troops or not?
The merchant residence was the real big deal. Everything from daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, to living expenses and clothing were all single-handedly contracted by the merchants of the Wei Dynasty.
Once the war breaks out, okay, the merchants will evacuate, you don't care about living and living, right? Do you want food?
I don't need to send troops to fight you at all. I'll just surround you and kill you. The Tuxie Dynasty will send you food, right?
Okay, send it, I won't stop you, just eat every day, sit in the city, don't dare to do anything, just eat, just eat, eat hard.
After a year of eating, will the Tuxie Dynasty still provide you with food assistance? Help you raise people? Are you going to eat it?
And it's not just that simple, because it is based on a falling out.
What if you don’t fall out?
All foreign countries are working for the Wei Dynasty.
Merchants earn silver from the people of the foreign country, and the money circulates in the Wei Dynasty. The foreign people must work honestly for the merchants of the Wei country in order to earn new money.
Moreover, merchants who go to foreign countries will definitely receive preferential treatment, plus 30% of the tribute from foreign countries.
Tsk tsk.
This is no longer blood-sucking, but skin-peeling, serious skin-peeling.
Of course, there is a certain limit to peeling off skin. Xu Qingxiao will control it to a reasonable amount to ensure that the people of the foreign country can have enough to eat. With such a little money, the limit is to be well-off.
But do you want to make a fortune or show off your power?
impossible.
As a defeated country, Wei allowed them to think about it, just think about it.
As for the privileges and preferential treatment, it is purely to enhance the country's national self-confidence, which is also of great significance. It allows the people to truly straighten their backs and see that the foreign countries are not empty.
Not convinced? If not convinced, fight!
These three points must be implemented in every foreign country.
After Xu Qingxiao came back, the main thing was to determine a few goals and policies.
The economy of the Wei Dynasty will develop qualitatively after this battle is won.
It's not how much money you can receive, but the appearance of the dragon of public opinion.
This means that the people of the Wei Dynasty will usher in a new era of prosperity. They will unite as one and the whole people to build. In this way, the productivity of the Wei Dynasty will be greatly improved.
You can't see it now in the past two years, but in three to five years, it will be back to its peak, just around the corner.
And when you are in a high position, you are never planning for the present, but planning for the future. You must have a long-term vision and never be limited to the present.
The prosperous age of the Wei Dynasty will come sooner or later. You only need to fine-tune what has happened in recent years. You don't need to be too concerned about it, because the people will do many things by themselves.
What we need to prepare for now is the future, the longer-term future.
Inside Shouren Academy.
Xu Qingxiao put pen to paper on rice paper.
[Five Policies of the Great Wei Dynasty]
Well, Xu Qingxiao is conceiving five future policies for the future of the Wei Dynasty.
Xu Qingxiao started writing seriously, writing all her thoughts and plans on rice paper.
Page after page of policy discussions were written by Xu Qingxiao.
Time also passed little by little.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
70% of the foreign countries of the Wei Dynasty accepted their fate, and the kings rushed to the Wei Dynasty one after another. Civil and military officials from various countries also went home to prepare for the funeral. Some people ran away, but the fate of those who ran away was even worse, and they were directly dealt with internally.
Wei's order is there, if anyone runs away and dies together, there will be no chance of peace talks.
Sacrifice a small number of people in exchange for the survival of the majority of people, as long as normal people know how to choose.
In fact, it can only be said in one sentence: the battle is defeated.
If we win, all the officials of the Wei Dynasty will die. But now we lose, the principle of success as king and defeat as bandit is basically understood by that level.
You may cry or make trouble, but the result will not change.
The king with some backbone sacrificed his life for the country in order to save the people, but he also gained a good reputation. The king without backbone begged for surrender and was willing to agree to all kinds of requests, wishing he could give the country to the Wei Dynasty.
But this kind of begging was beaten back even before it was sent to Wei Dynasty.
Xu Qingxiao's meaning and attitude were very direct. At this point, the purpose of killing was to intimidate. If there was no substantial punishment, no one would be afraid of Wei.
These kings were not afraid of the Wei Dynasty, but they were afraid of death.
Xu Qingxiao is not a ruthless person, but an ideology of the general trend.
Again, if the Wei Dynasty loses this battle, then the one who will die will be Xu Qingxiao, the empress, and all the officials of the Wei Dynasty.
Just like after the failure of the Northern Expedition, did you see anyone helping the Wei Dynasty? If Xu Qingxiao hadn't come, the Wei Dynasty would have become more and more decadent, and once a first-class warrior died.
Then the end of the Wei Dynasty will come.
Therefore, killing is for the sake of not killing! Not killing for the sake of future generations.
However, in the eyes of scholars, this kind of behavior has become unkind, and there are calls for impeachment and curses from all over the country, but now Xu Qingxiao is at the height of his power.
Although scholars from all over the country were scolded and scholars all over the world were angry, it did not affect Xu Qingxiao at all. The lack of organization and leaders gave this group of scholars no room to express their anger.
The remaining 30% of the foreign countries rejected this clause. They wanted to fight to the death and resist, but were unwilling to accept this clause.
When the news reached the Wei Dynasty, the Ministry of War did not let the Wei army take the field at all, and directly asked the surrounding foreign countries to take action. The conditions were also very simple, and there were conspiracy and conspiracy.
If that foreign country dares to cause trouble, its prince will exterminate his relatives out of justice, or the princes, royal family, or even the common people will do it. Whoever destroys it will be in charge. From now on, just listen to the Wei Dynasty.
This is a conspiracy, an unsolvable conspiracy.
The plot is also very simple. Whoever kills this group of people in the surrounding countries will gain the territory of the other country.
It is also an unsolvable conspiracy. Knowing what the Wei Dynasty is thinking, letting the foreign country fight without spending a single soldier will consume the strength of the foreign country. And to the Wei Dynasty, it does not matter who is in charge of the foreign country.
Anyway, you have to pay 30% of the tribute to the Wei Dynasty, and you have to agree to the ten major terms, that's all.
Indeed, after the edict was issued, the foreign countries began to fight among themselves, and various groups raised troops to fight against the rebels. These foreign countries that clamored for rebellion were destroyed without even shouting for a few days.
Some foreign countries were even worse. One prince exterminated his relatives for justice, and other princes also joined in the internal fighting. The foreign countries nearby saw an opportunity and began to raise troops again.
This situation lasted for seven days and was finally stopped by the Wei Dynasty.
The Wei Dynasty did not need them to suffer too much internal friction, not because they were afraid that they would not be able to protect themselves, but because the people who died in the war must be the people.
And these people are the foundation for the future rise of the Wei Dynasty, even if they are alien people.
Dawei asked to stop, and the foreign countries also stopped. Now to the foreigners, Dawei is their father, and they will do whatever they are told.
After this trip, all foreign countries have become completely honest, and the dishonest ones are gone.
The only thing I want to talk about is one place, Silong Country.
King Si Long committed suicide. At his level, no matter where he ran, it would be useless. However, everyone in the Si Long Kingdom knew that they were mainly responsible for this matter. The death of the king was not enough, nor was the death of all the civil and military officials.
Da Wei's idea is very simple.
Everyone in the Silong clan must die. In addition to the common people, the royal family has implicated the nine clans. This is the fate of the Silong Kingdom.
Therefore, the royal family of the Silong clan fled to the land of the barbarians. According to intelligence, the barbarians were also hesitant to accept it, but in the end, for unknown reasons, the barbarians chose to accept it.
After all, they were just some royal nobles of the Silong Kingdom, and the main ones had committed suicide. But even so, the Wei Dynasty warned the barbarians, and at the same time let the surrounding countries occupy the Silong Kingdom and eat away at the Silong Kingdom together.
Da Wei also received corresponding benefits.
At this juncture, there is no need to start another war with the barbarians. The Wei Dynasty has already obtained everything, and it is not afraid of what the royal family of Silong Kingdom can do.
What the Wei Dynasty has to do now is to completely end this war and then start to develop the country. It is impossible to delay the pace of progress because of the Silong Kingdom.
[Wuchang first year, November 25th]
The peace talks between the Wei Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty ended, and the two dynasties reached a consensus. The Tuxie Dynasty had misunderstandings due to being deceived by foreign countries, and was willing to assist the Wei Dynasty with one hundred thousand taels of silver to attack the dependent countries.
[Wuchang first year, November 27th]
All the vassal states within the Wei Dynasty signed treaties to quell the rebellion in the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
At this point, the war ended.
[Wuchang first year, December 15th]
Your Majesty has decreed that this war will put an end to the chaos, all because the officials of the imperial court work together, and also because the people of the Wei Dynasty share the same hatred of the enemy and work together to put an end to the chaos.
Xu Qingxiao, the young minister in charge of the country, turned the tide when it was falling, helped the building before it collapsed, and repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats. He conquered Tibet in one day, pacified the Tang Dynasty in three days, and stopped the war in half a month. This is his first achievement.
Therefore, Xu Shouren, the Shaoqing of the Great Wei Supervisor, was conferred as a prince of the Great Wei. He was given the title of quelling the chaos and was hereditary. He was given a salary of one hundred thousand dan at the end of his life. On December 30, he was canonized by the capital of the country.
The Ministry of Etiquette customized all kinds of clothing and ceremonial guards. Xu Shouren was given seven white horses, a Marquis Mansion, and the school was expanded.
Respecting the benevolent mind is the orthodox scholarship of the Wei Dynasty and is included in the imperial examination examination of the Wei Dynasty.
Admire this!
The first year of Wuchang, November 30th.
With the announcement of an imperial edict, the Wei Dynasty at the end of November set off a storm.
Xu Qingxiao was granted the title of Marquis, which was not a shocking thing. After all, in this battle, Xu Qingxiao did not save the Wei Dynasty from disaster.
But Xu Qingxiao built up the prestige of the Wei Dynasty, which is what any emperor or minister wants to do throughout the ages.
Therefore, for the powerful people of the Wei Dynasty to be granted the title of marquis, this was a reasonable matter.
But what really shocked the common people and the powerful were two places.
Hereditary, disregard of substitution, respect for learning.
These two places are truly terrifying places.
Hereditary nobility means that Xu Qingxiao's title can be inherited indefinitely from generation to generation. Even among the nine princes today, only three are hereditary nobility.
Xu Qingxiao was so young, not only did he become a marquis of peace, but he was also a hereditary and irreplaceable marquis.
In the future, the powerful people in the Wei Dynasty will definitely have a Xu family.
A title that is not invalidated or replaced from generation to generation will be inherited as long as the Wei Dynasty is immortal.
But if compared to the second one, this one is nothing.
The Great Wei Dynasty respected the study of mind and included it in the imperial examination examination. What is this concept? In other words, in the future, scholars in the world must read books on the study of mind if they want to be officials.
You don’t want to read, right? If you don’t read and you don’t know anything about the Xinxue test, you can go home.
You're not convinced, right? If you're not convinced, fine. When the Wei Dynasty is in danger again, you will come to take command.
Of course, you must also complete several achievements at this time.
【Unification of Civil and Military Affairs】
【Emperor's Trust】
[Public opinion is like a dragon]
【Speak for the people】
[Great Confucian who wrote books]
As long as one of the conditions is missing, the copy cannot be activated. If all the above conditions are not met, the copy cannot be activated.
Therefore, this act of the empress almost pushed Xu Qingxiao to a new level, not only giving Xu Qingxiao the title of Marquis in terms of status.
More importantly, the empress has already taken sides. In front of Wen Gong and Xu Qingxiao, the empress chose Xu Qingxiao.
This had a huge impact on Wen Gong.
Why do scholars in the world study? For justice in their hearts? For all the people in the world? No matter what the reason is, how many of them don’t want to be an official? Even if they no longer want to be an official, they want to benefit the people of the world, right?
Then you have to be an official and seek your position. If you can't be an official, how can you benefit the people of the world?
But one of the requirements for being an official is that he must devote himself to studying the mind. It can be said that just because of this, Xu Qingxiao will be able to step into the realm of great Confucianism in the world within half a year.
Canonization is also very close.
This is why Da Wei was shocked.
If Da Wei is the biggest winner this time, then Xu Qingxiao is the second winner.
Become a prince and worship a prime minister, and be orthodox in mind.
This is really an infinite benefit.
People were shocked, word of mouth spread, and they were the first to collect Xu Qingxiao's famous quotes.
Shouren Academy was almost packed with people who came to enroll.
But all of this has nothing to do with Xu Qingxiao.
It lasted nearly a month.
Xu Qingxiao has been studying five policies, and has written hundreds of policy papers.
Set goals, develop goals, and achieve goals.
This is the theme of the policy discussion.
It's just the first draft, and Xu Qingxiao hasn't finished it yet because there are so many things to write.
Ten days later, it was December 25th, the first year of Wuchang.
There are still five days left before Xu Qingxiao canonizes himself in the main hall.
During this period of time, the Wei Dynasty has been much quieter. The war in the subordinate countries has ended for more than a month. The whole Wei Dynasty has been busy during this period of time, which is liquidating profits.
The various trophies and various benefits taken from the subject countries, including mountain ranges, land, and some important resources, need to be carefully accounted for and included in the Wei treasury.
And on this day.
Mao Shi.
Xu Qingxiao finally put down the pen.
call!
He exhaled a long breath of white mist. In the past few months, apart from eating and sleeping, Xu Qingxiao had devoted himself to writing the five policies for the future of the Wei Dynasty.
And now, these five policies have been completely determined.
Soon, all the drafts of policy papers were compiled, and Xu Qingxiao walked out of the school with a thick stack of manuscripts.
It was already midnight, the sky was still dark, winter was approaching, the cold wind was biting, and some fallen leaves were rolled up.
As a seventh-level warrior, Xu Qingxiao is naturally not afraid of the cold.
He was still wearing plain clothes and walked towards the Wei Palace.
The plan has been written, and I just need to discuss it with His Majesty. If these things can be implemented one day early, it is best to implement them one day early.
If a person is lazy for a day, he will lose some money.
But for the country, any incident will affect countless people.
Walking on familiar streets.
Everything seemed extremely quiet.
Except for a few people who have woken up to light their lamps, most people are still sleeping.
The sky was dark and the wind was biting.
The earth dragon has been burned in the palace of the Wei Dynasty, and outside the palace, there is also an earth dragon official road to keep the civil servants and scholars away from the cold and warm.
The soldiers on both sides even held torches to illuminate the official road.
As Xu Qingxiao appeared, the soldiers on both sides suddenly looked surprised and spoke to Xu Qingxiao one after another.
"I have met Lord Xu."
When they opened their mouths, they shouted sincerely. Normally, these garrison troops did not need to salute and just did their job well.
Perhaps Xu Qingxiao is now more than just a Marquis. During the war with the vassal states, Xu Qingxiao's prestige in the military has been greatly improved.
These soldiers all knew about Xu Qingxiao's iron-blooded methods of conquering cities and conquering them, and they did not know whether they were benevolent or not. What they knew was that Xu Qingxiao respected and recognized the soldiers.
He is a scholar with backbone and blood. For those scholars who have no backbone and blood, they prefer people like Xu Qingxiao.
So when they saw Xu Qingxiao appear, the garrison troops opened their mouths and bowed to Xu Qingxiao. This was respect from the bottom of their hearts.
"Commanders, you are welcome."
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly, nodded towards the garrison troops on both sides, and then walked quickly outside the palace.
And at this time.
Not many civil and military officials came, but the six ministers and several princes came first.
They were chatting about something, but suddenly they saw Xu Qingxiao's figure. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao.
"Shouren, why are you here?"
"Tsk tsk, it's rare, it's rare."
"Why are Shouren here today?"
"Hahahaha, Shouren, I just mentioned it, but I didn't expect you to come. Shouren, what are you doing here today?"
When they saw Xu Qingxiao appear, everyone spoke out one after another, Duke An Guo laughed heartily, and the six ministers were also full of curiosity.
Chen Zhengru's eyes were even more curious and fell on the rice paper in Xu Qingxiao's hand.
"Shouren, what have you been doing these past few months?"
Chen Zhengru asked.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao's hands.
"Shouren, don't talk about it for now. Let me guess. Is this a new money-making plan?"
Gu Yan then spoke, looking at the thick stack of rice paper, he couldn't help but look very excited.
"Gu Shangshu, you are so focused on money, can't you say something else? Shouren, let me take a guess, this should be a new tool, right?"
"With so much rice paper, it must not be a simple thing, it should be a drawing, right?"
Li Yanlong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, spoke, his eyes full of expectation.
"You are all wrong. In my opinion, this should be the Northern Expedition, right? Shouren."
Duke An Guo also spoke.
Everyone was really full of expectations and very curious about the rice paper in Xu Qingxiao's hand.
Hearing what everyone said, Xu Qingxiao smiled bitterly.
"I don't know how to answer this. To be more precise, this is Wei's future development plan."
Xu Qingxiao smiled bitterly.
At that moment, the six ministers and the two princes looked shocked.
"The future development of Wei Dynasty?"
Chen Zhengru immediately wanted to watch, but Gu Yan got there first, but An Guogong, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, stopped the two of them.
"Two ministers, Shouren brought it here today just to present it to His Majesty. Everything will be known to the court later, so why fight over it now."
"If it gets damaged or scattered, I'll need to rearrange it when I go to court. Isn't it a bother?"
An Guogong spoke, somewhat annoyed.
The two ministers didn't think anything of it, but Wang Xinzhi, the minister of rites, spoke up.
"Shouren, you are really the treasure of our Wei Dynasty. We have been discussing the development of the Wei Dynasty every day these days."
"You probably don't know clearly yet."
"The subject countries are in war, and the Wei treasury has increased to three million taels of silver. Among them, swords, armor, war horses, and various benefits are countless. Let's do some calculations, and we have tens of millions of taels of silver."
"This time our Wei Dynasty really has money, but Gu Yan, a stingy man, refuses to take out the money. Logically speaking, if the Wei Dynasty has money in its treasury, it should improve the state of the country, right?"
"I asked him to give me some silver as a reward, but he refused to give it up. Three million taels of silver, let alone ten million taels of silver. Even if it is ten million taels of silver, he would not give it out."
"I have to say that the Wei Dynasty wants to develop, and the Wei Dynasty wants to develop, but I ask him how to develop it, but he can't tell you. Shouren, do you think there is something wrong with Gu Shangshu?"
When Wang Xinzhi spoke, he was a little angry.
Since the liquidation of the loot was completed, the entire Wei Dynasty was very happy, and the civil and military officials were also extremely happy. Now that the Wei Dynasty is rich, it is a good thing for everyone.
Liubu thought he could finally live a good life for a few days, but he never thought that Gu Yan would still go his own way. No matter who asked him for money, he would not give it out.
You can understand that I didn't have money before, but now that I have money, everyone finds that this old bastard Gu Yan is really stingy.
Let’s not talk about the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Rites must give some money, right? Xu Qingxiao’s canonization hall, the princes plus the Duke, and after the victory of the Wei Dynasty, you must do something, right?
He also discussed with the empress that it wouldn't be too much to repair the palace, right? Now that the country's prestige has risen, if you don't repair the palace, after a few years, when people come to Wei again, they will find this?
Isn't this embarrassing?
As soon as Wang Xinzhi said his words, all the officials nodded, even Chen Zhengru couldn't help but nod.
There's nothing wrong with that. Gu Yan's skills were perfected.
They don't give you anything, they don't give you anything if you don't have money, and they don't give you money even if you have money. Letting such people control the money is good, but it's just irritating.
But as soon as he said this, Gu Yan couldn't help but speak.
"Hmph, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive when you are not a family member. Even if the national treasury has so much money, if you really think about it, how many years can it last?"
"In this war, do you need to pay military pensions? Is it money to reward the three armies? The Wei Dynasty still needs to develop, so where can I have so much money for you?"
"Shouren, I have been holding on to my money for a long time, just for you to arrange. I don't have any other skills. I can't make any money, but I can keep the money for you."
Gu Yan doesn't care what people say about him.
Anyway, he had to keep the money. It was not that he was afraid of poverty, but that Wei was afraid of poverty. If he finally got the money, he should cherish it even more and remember the hardships and remember the sweets.
Seeing the quarrel among the ministers, Xu Qingxiao quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Gentlemen, please stop quarreling."
"I have been thinking about this matter these past few days. After I go to court, we will discuss it slowly. How about it?"
Xu Qingxiao stepped forward to smooth things over, but the officials didn't say anything. They didn't have to give anyone's face, but they had to give it to Xu Qingxiao.
After all, Xu Qingxiao earned this money.
"Okay, I'll give Shouren some face."
"Shouren, if others say this, I will ignore it. But if you say this, I will admit it."
Everyone spoke and agreed.
That's it.
About two-quarters of an hour passed, and all the civil and military officials had already arrived.
At this moment, as the eunuch's voice sounded, Xuan Baiguan entered the palace.
Xu Qingxiao followed the officials into the procession.
He was still standing next to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now that the war was over, although the position of Shaoqing Supervisor had not been removed, Xu Qingxiao would not use chicken feathers as arrows.
He is still the Minister of Household Affairs. As for the title of Marquis, the canonization has not been completed yet. Everyone calls him "Hou Ye", which is actually polite. After the canonization is completed, you have to go to the left to go back to the court.
When walking towards the main hall, Gu Yan lowered his voice and pulled Xu Qingxiao.
"Shouren, I'm telling you."
"This time the treasury is not three hundred, to be precise, it is four hundred and two. However, some of them are treasures and need to be sold off slowly."
"Furthermore, I asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to make an arithmetic calculation. According to the treasury income of the subordinate countries, it can bring 60,000 taels of silver to the Wei Dynasty every year. Counting the 10,000,000 taels of silver for the Wei Dynasty itself, plus other miscellaneous income,
Da Wei now has a fixed income of 80,000 taels per year."
"If the waterwheel project can bring good news, the annual income of the Wei treasury can reach one hundred million taels of silver. I also plan to retire and return to my hometown for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so I want you to come."
Gu Yan said that he would tell the truth only to Xu Qingxiao. Of course, the empress already knew these amounts.
Four hundred and two?
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but click her tongue. Before the war, the Wei treasury had about one million taels, and this was obtained by selling officials. After the war, it quadrupled.
Four million taels.
This is really an exaggeration. At least it is enough for the Wei Dynasty to squander it casually for twenty years. Of course, it cannot be invested in some big things, such as nine-year compulsory education. It is really a waste of nine-year compulsory education. Four million taels is enough, but it cannot withstand
Twenty years of squandering.
However, when she heard that Gu Yan was about to abdicate, Xu Qingxiao quickly spoke.
"Gu Shangshu, you are getting better and better now. You are talking about retiring and returning to your hometown. You can continue to sit in this position. I won't sit down. I would rather be an idle marquis than the minister of household affairs."
Xu Qingxiao said, he was not being pretentious. Being the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, wouldn't he have to come to the morning court every day?
Wouldn't it be better to be an idle prince?
Hearing this, Gu Yan was slightly startled, but he quickly nodded and said: "I understand, you are dissatisfied that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is not enough, and that's right. With your talent, it is really not good to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
"
"Okay, after the court, I will go talk to the other ministers, and also talk to Chen Shangshu, and ask him to abdicate in favor of you. If he is not willing, we will impeach him."
"Don't worry, Shouren, leave everything to me."
Gu Yan said this, mistakenly thinking that Xu Qingxiao looked down on the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
But when he said this, Xu Qingxiao was even more stunned.
Prime Minister of the Wei Dynasty?
He doesn't want this position even more.
Just when I was about to explain a few words, a voice sounded.
"Hundred officials enter the palace."
As this voice sounded, everyone fell silent, and Xu Qingxiao had no choice but to go in first and explain later.
next moment.
Everyone stepped into the palace.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
As the familiar opening words sounded.
All the officials bowed to the empress on the dragon throne.
At this moment, on the dragon throne, the empress' eyes couldn't help but fall on Xu Qingxiao.
Indeed, the empress did not expect that Xu Qingxiao would go to court today.
However, the empress's gaze instantly retracted, replaced by calmness.
The meeting begins.
As usual, officials began to discuss national affairs.
Xu Qingxiao was thinking about the words.
For some reason, today's court meeting was completed in half an hour, which was faster than usual.
Maybe it was because of what Xu Qingxiao had in his hands.
All the officials were looking forward to seeing what Xu Qingxiao had done this month.
However, the general content and meaning of this half-hour court meeting revolved around these three things.
How to spend money!
How does the country develop!
What do we do next!
These are roughly the three meanings.
After talking about national affairs, everyone became quiet, and many eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao did not delay anything, but walked out and bowed to the empress.
"Your Majesty, my minister, Xu Qingxiao, would like to offer you some advice."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and presented the manuscript in her hand.
"Oh? Xu Aiqing, what are your suggestions?"
The empress was a little curious and glanced at Zhao Waner. The latter immediately came to Xu Qingxiao, took the strategy and handed it to the empress.
"Return to your majesty, the strategy of the Wei Dynasty to unify Zhongzhou."
Xu Qingxiao spoke calmly.
As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
Even the empress was stunned.
Good guy, I know that Xu Qingxiao is not an easy person, and I also know that Xu Qingxiao has been working hard for several months, so he must be a good person.
But opening your mouth is the strategy to unify Zhongzhou?
Do you want to be so tough?
But what shocked everyone even more was that when Xu Qingxiao said this, no one questioned or sneered. Instead, they were curious and inexplicably excited.
this moment.
The empress took over the strategy, and with just one glance, the empress' beautiful eyes flashed with shock, and then the hall became silent.
The empress reads very quickly, but she reads every word carefully.
After reading the entire strategy, the empress's voice rang out.
"good."
"This policy should be regarded as a national policy."
The empress's voice resounded throughout the hall.
This made everyone even more curious.
This empress has never been like this before. What kind of strategy did the Empress of Wei value so highly?
They became more and more curious. If the other party had not been of high status, they would have snatched it up and read it now.
Sensing the curiosity of the officials, the empress didn't waste any words. She threw the policy out and it floated in the air in an instant.
For all officials to see.
[Strategy for the Strength and Strength of the Wei Dynasty]
1. Vigorously develop the strength of the Ministry of War
2. Vigorously develop agricultural production
3. Vigorously promote merchant trade
Fourth, vigorously enhance national public opinion
Five, vigorously select outstanding talents
This is the content on the first page, and the content after that is extremely detailed, which makes all the officials mesmerized. Even at the end, the eyes of all the officials are full of excitement and excitement.
Yes.
This is the policy guideline written by Xu Qingxiao this month.
The focus is on developing the strength of the Ministry of War, and this development of the strength of the Ministry of War puts aside basic recruitment and training, and focuses on "weapons".
During this battle, Xu Qingxiao realized that the war machine must be brought out as soon as possible. Although the Wei soldiers were brave, the price they paid in the battle to defend the city was still too high.
If it weren't for the ruse, more than 200,000 people would have been killed in this battle, perhaps millions of people.
Moreover, this was a fight against the tributary countries, not the Northern Expedition, nor was it a fight against the Tuxie Dynasty or the Chu Yuan Dynasty.
What's the use of relying on numbers alone? The effectiveness of war machines far exceeds numbers.
One artillery piece is far better than three thousand dead soldiers.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao focused the power of the Ministry of War on weapons, so the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was extremely excited.
In agricultural production, Xu Qingxiao focused on "seeds". The Wei Dynasty needed new seeds, and these seeds required the Wei Dynasty to do its best to find them, even across the oceans. Of course, the basic production within the country also required
It couldn't stop. The imperial court allocated funds to buy seeds and cattle for free use by the people of the Wei Dynasty. It also needed to recruit various talents for research and training.
Merchants and trade are also extremely important. The future war will definitely not be a sword war, but an economic war. Use the economy to block the opponent's lifeline. Whether to fight or not is one thing. The economic and trade aspect has unlimited benefits. Facing a powerful
If a country wants to win without fighting, economic warfare is the most effective.
As for improving public opinion, this requires the joint efforts of the six ministries of the Wei Dynasty. Xu Qingxiao's meaning is very simple. To increase manpower, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Personnel are the most critical. The Ministry of Punishment is used to stabilize national security issues so that people can farm and live with peace of mind.
Crack down on all lawless elements, the little ones, punish them severely, uproot them, and restore a bright future to the Wei Dynasty. The official department is people-oriented and solves all the fundamental needs of the people. There is no small matter for the people, no matter what.
We must help the people do well.
As for the final vigorous selection of outstanding talents.
This selection of talents is not the selection of imperial examinations, but all kinds of talents. As long as they have talent, it doesn't matter what they are.
For example, agricultural talents, industrial talents, intelligence talents, and economic talents need to be selected from the private sector.
Give salary and official position.
Break the immutable and solidified class.
In this way, the Wei Dynasty can let a hundred flowers bloom and become truly strong. Otherwise, what is the use of having only military and ideological talents?
A lengthy discussion of national policy.
The civil and military officials who saw it were shocked.
Fully half an hour passed.
Everyone watched for half an hour before finishing all the content.
The main hall is quiet.
Falling into deathly silence.
Xu Qingxiao's national policy simply helped the Wei Dynasty become stronger.
As long as you follow Xu Qingxiao's plan, don't be stupid, don't seek death, it will be difficult for the Wei Dynasty to become strong or not.
The officials were shocked.
I really don't know what to say.
Finally, the empress spoke.
"Everyone loves you!"
"I want to make this policy the national policy of the Wei Dynasty."
"What do you think?"
The empress spoke.
Facing these five directions of development, how can the empress be picky?
This month, civil and military officials have been quarreling, and the content of the quarrel is actually just one point.
Everyone wants to participate, whether it is the Sixth Department or the military attache, everyone wants to participate in the development.
No one wants to fall behind.
But there is only so much money, and there is only so much manpower, how can we get even rain and dew?
But what I didn't expect was.
Xu Qingxiao did it.
His national policy involves six parts!
The strategy to strengthen a country requires everyone to work together, and the plan must be extremely detailed and clear.
As the empress of the Wei Dynasty.
How come she can't see it?
So she had almost no hesitation.
I want to make this policy the national policy of the Wei Dynasty.
Everything the Wei Dynasty will do in the future will be done around this national policy.
this moment.
As the empress asked.
The officials also gradually came to their senses.
"Wait, my lord!"
"No objection."
When the officials spoke, they had no objections.
Because there is no problem with Xu Qingxiao’s policy.
Anyone who dares to object can go home.
Now.
The empress looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Xu Aiqing!"
"This strategy still needs to be supplemented with details. I'd like to trouble Xu Aiqing."
"You will continue to hold the position of overseeing the country's young minister."
"Also, the imperial examination is coming soon, and you will be the examiner for this Wei imperial examination."
"Select talents for the Wei Dynasty."
The empress continued to speak.
Another matter was handed over to Xu Qingxiao.
During the Wuchang period, the first imperial examination was held.
For a moment, the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
Next chapter, before twelve o'clock.
My whole body hurts! I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for acupuncture.
The neck, shoulders and neck are about to break.
I can't bear it anymore. The second update will be updated before 12 o'clock in the morning.
