Chapter 177 The prime minister asks about political conduct
After Yu Yan left Xianyun Inn, he still sent a flying message to Jiang Yao.
Originally, in order to deliberately make Jiang Yao miss her, she would not contact Jiang Yao easily.
"That Lady Luo, who are you? She came to the Central Territory, and I just happened to find her, haha."
It was obvious that the little girl still wanted to test her.
"Fairy Luo" in the inn's cave quickly replied to Feixun:
"She's my nephew. Did you discover her so quickly? Did you discover her spaceship? I lent it to her. You have to take care of her secretly... Did she give you the longevity pill?"
Yu Yan was completely relieved and replied: "Don't worry, I will take care of her secretly like I take care of you? This child should be less worried than you..."
"Okay, I won't contact you unless it's a big deal. Just take care of yourself and take your medicine..."
Jiang Yao: "..."
In fact, ginger medicine can tell Yu Yan the truth.
But he didn't dare.
He did not regard himself as Yu Clan's uncle. In his eyes, Yu Kuan was always a little girl.
How can it be related to the relationship between men and women?
He is not a pervert.
Jiang Yao cannot guarantee that Yu Yan will not change when he grows up.
There is no guarantee that he and Yu Clan will always be friends rather than enemies.
He can be nice to Yu Kuan, but it's hard to trust Yu Kuan completely. At least not now.
"Illusion" is a lost advanced magic skill, and it is also an important means for him to save his life. He will not tell anyone easily.
Otherwise, if one day he and Yu Clan fall out, it will be troublesome.
If a person doesn't know the city, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Even Yu Kuan must have some secrets that he has not told himself.
This is right and understandable.
Outside the cave, Jiang Yao hung a sign saying he would be in seclusion for ten days, intending to whet other people's appetites and refuse to see any guests.
Then, she changed from Fairy Luo back to her true self, changed her clothes, and inspired the jade pendant to teleport back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Qinghuang City in the Western Region.
The government affairs meeting held once every ten days in the Prime Minister's Office is about to begin.
Anyone who wanted to visit Fairy Luo in Shengong Tiancheng was rejected and could only return in despair. They planned to wait until Fairy Luo came out of seclusion before coming back.
They never dreamed that the quiet room of "Luo Fairy" was empty, and that "she" herself had long gone back to the Qing clan of the Western Regions to become the prime minister.
………
"Prime Minister!"
"Master!"
As soon as Jiang Yao came out, more than a hundred people had gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They were either subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion or Hanshi officials promoted by Jiang Yao.
Today is the prime minister's government meeting held every ten days, and of course they have to attend.
It has been more than half a month since the Qing clan established the Yuan Dynasty.
Jiang Yao wears a jade crown on his head, a purple robe with a cloud pattern embroidered with a phoenix, a nine-section jade belt around his waist, and a seal on his body. He looks like a big shot in the imperial court and is very dignified.
Some of the subordinate officials and courtiers were wearing purple, some were wearing crimson, and all of them had an air of demeanor that was very similar to that of ancient Chinese officials.
"Where is Chief Registrar Chu Heng?" Prime Minister Jiang asked, sitting firmly in the Mingyue Hall, in the middle.
"I'm here." Chu Heng, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood up.
"Dianmao."
"I sincerely comply with Prime Minister Jun's decree." Chu Heng accepted the order.
These procedures and terminology were all prescribed by Jiang Yao himself and were part of feudal etiquette.
This pomp is even more exquisite than that of a slave-owning aristocrat.
A small, second-class martial arts lord is actually building a dojo inside a snail shell, trying to create some new political strategy.
That's right, the feudal movement of the Qing clan has been called the "Ginger Medicine Reform" by wealthy families and casual cultivators.
The majority of casual practitioners and poor families, after reading "Da Qing Lu", have a positive attitude towards the "Ginger Medicine Reform". There are more and more supporters, and more and more people are demanding the reform.
However, the nobles and wealthy families, including big business owners, opposed Jiang Yao's reform. Many people whose interests had been damaged hated Jiang Zhongda with gnashing of teeth.
Among the retainers, less than 10% supported the reform.
Even those with high official positions in the new imperial court looked on with cold eyes.
At this time, the chief clerk Chu Heng saluted Jiang Yao and said:
"Information to the Prime Minister, all 16 officials of the Prime Minister's Palace have arrived. From the 168 court officials of the fifth rank and above, the number has reached 132, and the number has not yet reached 36."
Of course, all the officials selected by Jiang Yao from the new imperial court, as members of the Jiang Party and the reform faction, were present.
But thirty-six of the retainers who served as court officials did not arrive!
Not even Han Cang, the Minister of War, who had a relationship with Jiang Yao, arrived. Neither did Fengji, the Minister of Hubu, and others.
None of the six ministers gave him face.
It's not surprising. It has only been a few years since Jiang Yao became an official member of the Qing clan. And these people are all veteran vassals and local wealthy families.
How should you take ginger medicine seriously?
You are a young boy, a foreigner, and you come from behind to become the prime minister. You want us to be your subordinate officials and participate in the political meetings you preside over?
Dream on you.
Jiang Yaoxiang's official appearance suddenly became ugly.
"Hmph, I, Da Qing, established the Yuan dynasty, implemented reforms, and strengthened our power. That is the lord's imperial edict. If they dare to disobey, then they are disobeying the edict."
"Resist Gu, Gu will not care about you. You can resist the Lord's imperial edict, but you must not tolerate it."
Prime Minister Jiang put a big hat on him.
Resistance and disrespect.
Originally, there was no crime of disobedience and disrespect in the entire Divine Continent. Major matters were always discussed between the feudal lord and his relatives and retainers, and it was rare for the lord to make a decisive decision on major matters.
Even if relatives and retainers are generally opposed to something, the clan leader cannot insist on it.
It seems very democratic, but in fact it is not that way.
In Jiang Yao's view, this is nothing more than slavery democracy. It is the worst kind of democracy.
The aristocrats, mainly members of the Qing clan, and the aristocratic families, mainly retainers, formed a rough and simple governance structure, controlled power from the central to the local level, and monopolized the vast majority of resources.
Moreover, it does not provide basic public services to the general public. It is an out-and-out slavery regime.
No matter how "democratic" this system is, it is still a game played by a small group of nobles and wealthy families. It is destined to be extremely reactionary. It is much more reactionary than feudal autocracy.
But according to Jiang Yao's "Da Qing Law", there is already a crime of resisting the decree and disrespecting the emperor.
Disobeying the order of the Valve Master is disobeying the decree!
This made the nobles and noble families very angry.
When did the words of the Valve Master become an imperial edict? What is an imperial edict? A rule of heaven?
All major affairs are left to the control of the bullshit imperial court and officials, and those humble and casual cultivators are allowed to participate in major affairs! Then who do they think they are? Aren’t they in chaos?
"Where is the Minister of Dali Temple?" Jiang Yao said with a serious face.
"I'm here!" Yan Xin, the minister of Dali Temple, stood up.
Jiang Yao asked knowingly: "What is the crime of resisting the decree and disrespecting it?"
Yan Xin said: "Prime Minister, in accordance with the "Da Qing Law", the king follows the law as he says, and the principles are arbitrary. Anyone who resists the decree and disrespects it will be beheaded!"
Jiang Yao nodded: "Okay, considering that it was their first offense and not long after the new law was promulgated, they were given a lighter sentence and dismissed from their posts."
As Jiang Yao spoke, he wrote a dismissal order domineeringly and stamped it with his photo seal.
He even used the excuse that thirty-six retainers refused to come to the meeting, and all of them were dismissed from their official positions in the new court!
Han Cang, Feng Ji and other six ministers have all been masturbated!
Then, without stopping, he promoted all the six ministers he appointed to acting ministers.
The food phase is not only ugly, but also very crude.
"Prime Minister." Chief Secretary Chu Heng said, "According to the official system of prime minister, the six ministers are the second-rank officials. The appointment and dismissal of ministers is really a big deal. Should I ask your Majesty to deal with it?"
As a trusted subordinate of Jiang Yao, Chu Heng's words were of course considered for Jiang Yao.
He was worried that the prime minister's actions would cause dissatisfaction among the emperor. If the emperor was dissatisfied with the prime minister, things would be difficult to handle.
How did he know that Lord Qing had already taken the sixth poison and his trust in the Prime Minister was even stronger?
We have reached the point of unconditional trust.
Jiang Yaodao: "If you don't believe in me, how can you be willing to entrust all the power of a clan to me? Just do as you are told, and there is no need to trouble you."
"To tell you the truth, your Majesty has succeeded in cultivating Taoism and understood the great secrets of martial arts. However, for the next few years, you had no intention of dealing with government affairs. Your Majesty told me to do it boldly."
After hearing this, Jiangyao's gang members were all relieved.
"Okay, let's start the discussion now. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will tell you first, how is the recruitment of county government officials in various places?"
Jiang Yao first asked about personnel matters.
Xu Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up and reported: "The Prime Minister is informed that more than 800 candidates for county government officials have all arrived in Juncheng. Three days later, they will conduct centralized examinations according to the regulations decided by the Prime Minister."
"After ten days, the best will be admitted based on merit and released to the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar and other officials."
"These candidate officials all have qualifications of level C or above, and cultivation levels of Martial Master or above, and most of them are casual cultivators."
Jiang Yao was very happy: "You did a good job and acted quickly. After they are admitted, I will personally meet them and the prime minister will give them a banquet."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs, prepare a batch of resources and advance salary in advance to solve their worries."
Personal recruitment, banquets, and salary advances are important means for Jiang Yao to cultivate private individuals.
When the county-level yamen are established, the imperial court and the prime minister's office will be able to fully control the local power of the ten counties.
The content of Jiang Yaoding's exam is actually asking for advice.
How to change the problem of resource scarcity, how to treat mortals, how to improve public security, how to improve the problem of rogue cultivators in caves, how to collect taxes, improve the situation of rogue cultivators, etc.
Very practical.
"The Hu Bu continued." After Jiang Yao asked about the personnel, he asked the Hu Bu.
Ding Hui, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and reported:
"Information to the Prime Minister, according to the Prime Minister's new law, the spiritual veins, mines, manors, horse farms, tea gardens, orchards, wineries, medicine gardens and other resources of the new ten counties, as long as they are level two or above, will be returned to the imperial court. According to the Prime Minister's decree
It shall be handled according to the laws of state-owned and government-owned enterprises.”
The State-Owned Government Enterprises Law is one of the most important measures in the new law.
"However, so many properties that should be returned to the imperial government are now divided up by the royal clan and various aristocratic families, and are privately owned. They refuse to return them and use force to resist them."
"The local county governments are newly established, but they lack the prestige and power to recover the resources they have occupied. What should I do if I ask the Prime Minister for instructions?"
Jiang Yao stood up and paced back and forth.
After a while, he said: "This matter requires resorting to force. Don't rush. Send an order to the governor's office of each county and let them first put up notices to denounce the aristocratic families who disobeyed the imperial order, were greedy and occupied public property."
"First create enough public opinion and publicize the state-owned official business law. When the time is right, then take it back to the imperial court."
"I sincerely obey the decree of Prime Minister Jun!" the Minister of Household Affairs respectfully accepted the order.
Regardless of the fact that he is a martial arts master, Jiang Yao is just a martial arts master. But Jiang Yao is a great pharmacist, a poison master, and a prime minister, and he has been kind to him, so how could he be disrespectful?
Jiang Yao is actually very anxious. He also wants to quickly promote the new method, benefit the majority of casual cultivators and more mortals, and gain a steady stream of will power.
But this matter cannot be rushed.
While the Prime Minister's Mansion was discussing politics, the retainers were coming to the Qinghuang Hall in the King's Mansion to once again admonish the Qing Lord.
In addition to retainers, there are also relatives of the Qing clan, totaling more than a hundred people, all of whom are powerful people.
"Lord! We can't let Jiang Zhongda make any more changes!"
"My lord, I, Daqing, have finally built up the foundation we have today, so we can't let it be destroyed in one day."
"My lord, Jiang Zhongda's move is rebellious and shocking. It has been spread to other martial arts clans. If my lord does not order the abolition of the new law, I am afraid that other martial arts clans will regard me, Daqing, as a traitor and raise their troops to attack me!"
"Please, my lord, kill ginger medicine and calm people's hearts!"
The law does not punish the public, and the public sentiment is fierce!
PS: Those friends in white helmets and white armor, please come to Qidian and watch the commercials to support me, okay? I cried and fainted in the toilet.
