Chapter 323 What kind of matter are you talking about?
After Xuan Yue left.
Qin Yu was still sitting on the stone bench, thinking about the whole incident.
Since he established Xiaoyu Tower, he has attacked Yueying Tower twice, but he has made a lot of gains, killing a total of six top killers of Yueying Tower.
Perhaps because Yueying Tower suffered heavy losses one after another, or was restrained by Xiaoyu Tower, Qin Yu never suffered revenge from Yueying Tower.
But Qin Yu knew that Yueying Tower was by no means a good man and a woman of faith. They would retaliate and would never allow anyone to challenge their authority.
Therefore, Qin Yu felt that the sudden news must have been deliberately released by Yueying Tower in order to lure you into a trap.
Qin Yu was always cautious in doing things, and he didn't want to think about Yueying Tower's ways.
...
The next day.
early morning.
Royal Palace, East Palace, Greenhouse.
Qin Yu looked at the luxuriant sweet potato seedlings and felt very happy.
As long as sweet potatoes are cultivated well, the Wei Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food in the future. This is complementary to the advancement of land reform.
Xiao Nan was also very happy when he saw it, "Brother-in-law, that one sweet potato has grown such a large seedling?"
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "Don't underestimate this sweet potato seedling. It can harvest at least seven or eight kilograms of sweet potatoes."
Xiao Nan listened and said, "I'll go, there are so many!?"
But he thought so, after all, one acre of land can produce more than two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.
While the two of them were talking, Fu'an, the chief steward of the imperial family, came in from outside the shed and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Consort, Your Majesty is waiting for you at Huide Hall to discuss matters."
Xiao Nan hesitated and said impatiently: "What kind of thing are you talking about?"
In the past few days, they have been responsible for building the greenhouse in the Imperial Garden, and they have no time to listen to music.
Fu'an said hurriedly: "Your Majesty said that it is better for you and the Prince Consort to prepare for the affairs of the county."
Qin Yu stood up and said, "Let's go, this matter really needs to be discussed carefully, otherwise even if we go, it will be in vain."
Afterwards, Qin Yu and Xiao Nan, led by Fu An, headed towards Huide Palace.
Huide Hall.
Wei Huang, Qin Wenyao, Zhang Zian and Chen Zhen, among others, have been waiting for a long time.
Now, the most important thing in the court is to send Qin Yu and Xiao Nan away.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan just entered.
Emperor Wei hurriedly greeted him: "You two are seated, our time is precious. To make a long story short, I have studied the reform plan for the imperial examination system submitted by the prince today with all your beloved ministers. So far, there are no major flaws."
"But if you want to implement it, you still have to wait until you have eliminated local officials, deepened land reform, and solved the people's worries before implementing it."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Consort, what do you think?"
Qin Yu nodded and agreed: "I agree, the current imperial examination system is indeed unable to meet the upcoming vacancies of officials in the Wei Dynasty in a short period of time. It is completely okay to postpone the trial, but we still need to get the news out first to win over the hearts of scholars all over the world.
"
Emperor Wei frowned slightly and asked: "Then what do you think, how should the news be released?"
All the humeri also looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu said slowly: "It can be done this way. The imperial list will be posted. The day when the land reform of the Wei Dynasty is completed will be the time when the Wei Dynasty abolishes the imperial examination and establishes the imperial examination."
"Land reform is originally a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it has won the hearts of the people. If this news is released again, scholars all over the world will side with the imperial court."
"With the support of the people and scholars all over the world, if we use thunderous means to rectify the government and promote land reform, it will be much smoother. After all, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."
Qin Yu felt that governing the country and managing the people boiled down to "putting the people first."
As long as we put the people first and gain the support of the people, many policies will be implemented much more smoothly. The power of the people is infinite.
Emperor Wei listened and nodded in agreement, "It makes sense. What the prince-in-law said is very reasonable. This is indeed a good medicine for me on the road of reform in the Wei Dynasty. I am sure."
Qin Yu's suggestion is very good.
Although it will not be implemented yet, it can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and scholars.
Scholars in this era are still very fierce in their verbal and literary criticism.
After hearing this, everyone in Zhang Zian also expressed their agreement.
Qin Yu's ideas are generally very mature and can be used directly after picking them up.
Since Qin Yu joined politics, the pressure on the officials of the three provinces and six ministries has been greatly reduced.
For major matters that are generally difficult to deal with, just approach the Prince Consort directly.
There was a pause.
Emperor Wei continued: "This is the end of the discussion on the restoration of the imperial examination system. We have solved the shortage of officials that occurred after the purge of officialdom."
"Today we will talk about the issues related to corvee and taxation after the land reform."
Exorbitant taxes and heavy corvee taxes are always a big mountain on the shoulders of the people, and they are also the reasons for peasant uprisings in the past dynasties.
Who would be willing to revolt if they could have enough food and clothing?
Who would be willing to revolt if they were not suffering intolerable oppression?
Fortunately, the people in the palace and the powerful officials of the Wei Dynasty had a common understanding of reducing the corvee taxes on the common people.
Zhang Zian looked at Emperor Wei and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think there is another point that needs to be balanced in terms of eliminating local officials."
Seeing Zhang Zian speaking, everyone looked at him.
Emperor Wei nodded, "It doesn't matter what Zhang Aiqing said."
Zhang Zian responded: "I believe that from now on, the military and political power should be separated at the state and county level, and then the state and county generals, governors and prefects should be regulated."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what Zhang Zian meant.
Emperor Wei was even more delighted and said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing, you really came with me. I believe that the military and political power at the state and county level must be separated, especially the post of governor."
This governorship system caused great harm to Emperor Wei.
Which of these states that want to be independent did not arise because state-level governors hold military and political power?
Especially military power!
Qin Yu nodded secretly as he listened.
He also agreed with what Zhang Zian said.
It's really difficult to deal with a governor who combines military and political power.
Qin Yu still knew everything about the position of governor.
During the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars broke out frequently, so in order to deal with emergencies, political power was tied to military power, and governors came into being.
Later, the post of governor also posed a great threat to the centralization of power. The "Three General Managers Rebellion" during the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was caused by the governor.
Today, Xiao Wenmao, Yu Mingxuan, and Miao Xiangyang, the then governor of Qingzhou, are independent of the imperial court because they have overall military and political power.
