Chapter 197 In the entire Wei Dynasty, only Qin Yu can do it
The next day.
In the morning, the sky is bright and bright.
Jinling City.
The news that Bai Jiangheng was captured and imprisoned is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the old-school officials.
Although it is not said that everyone is in danger, there are many people who ask for help from superiors and subordinates.
Even so, most people are not terribly worried.
After all, the law does not punish everyone, let alone a group of court officials.
If Emperor Wei was serious, it is estimated that most of the officials in the three provinces and six ministries would be arrested.
The imperial court must be in chaos, and the children of aristocratic families from all over the country will definitely not do it.
It would be of absolutely no benefit to the current imperial court to go to war.
Royal Palace.
Huide Hall.
After the morning session.
Emperor Wei met Qin Yu and Xiao Nan in the palace.
In the palace, Emperor Wei was holding a futon and looking at Bai Jiangheng's confession letter.
Xiao Nan's actions yesterday caused Bai Jiangheng's psychological defense to completely collapse and he explained everything.
Although Emperor Wei knew about the crimes committed by Bai Jiangheng and others.
But when I saw Bai Jiangheng's confession with my own eyes, I couldn't help but get angry.
"Bastards! These people are all bastards! I thought they had the power to serve as dragons, but by treating them like this, they have done all the evil to the imperial court! I wish I could kill them all!"
The veins in Emperor Wei's hand that was holding the letter were bulging out.
Although here are just some of the crimes of old-school officials.
But there are many such officials among the new officials.
In fact, this is nothing new for many new dynasties.
Historically, the new dynasty's nobles occupied land, and the behavior in the fish and meat township was the most common.
There was a pause.
Emperor Wei turned to look at Qin Yu and said thoughtfully: "What can you do about this matter?"
Qin Yu shook his head slightly, "There is evidence. People must not move at all, otherwise the whole court will be in chaos, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Your Majesty, you must arrange the people in advance, one carrot after another, otherwise there is no point in arresting these people."
"Bringing them to justice can be done at any time. The ultimate goal is to build the officialdom of the imperial court well. To forge iron, you need to be strong."
Emperor Wei nodded, "You are right, this is also a question I have been thinking about."
Emperor Wei felt a little uncomfortable.
In the past, I didn't dare to touch these corrupt officials.
Now he dared to move, but he couldn't move, which really annoyed him.
Sudden.
Xiao Rou looked at Emperor Wei and said slowly: "Father, I have a suggestion."
Emperor Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Let's talk about it."
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan also looked at Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou raised her eyebrows slightly and said in deep thought: "Nowadays, our biggest problem is simply the lack of candidates who can fill these important positions. As long as we can find people to fill these positions one by one, and the ability and appeal of these people are better than these
If people are strong, this matter will be easier to handle."
Emperor Wei frowned and sighed: "This is easy to say. How can it be so easy to find people? We need to conduct background checks and review the people we promote. Otherwise, if they are sanctimonious people, our efforts will be in vain."
A good minister who can definitely be promoted in the court.
However, Emperor Wei had been unable to deal with internal and external troubles in recent years. Officials from both the old and new factions formed cliques for personal gain. He never thought about secretly selecting people.
When people come to use it, there really is no one to use it.
Xiao Rou looked indifferent, "Why not? Zhang Zian, the great scholar, is the best candidate. He is fully qualified to serve as Zhongshu Ling, and with the appeal of Zhang Zian, the great scholar."
"Those loyal old ministers and some great scholars who resigned from the previous dynasty can all join the dynasty as officials. In terms of clean foundation and ability, there are no suitable candidates except them."
Hear this.
Emperor Wei's eyes brightened and he patted his thigh, "Hey! Rou'er's words make sense! I've forgotten all these ready-made people."
As he said that, he turned to look at Qin Yu with a smile on his face.
Qin Yu: "......"
Emperor Wei's smile was indeed a bit malicious.
"Good son-in-law, you are really the only person who can help me now. You don't want the civil war in Wei Dynasty. Your family will live in dire straits by then, right?"
"Only when the Wei Dynasty is prosperous can you enjoy life well, otherwise all the girls in the Jiaofangsi will be kidnapped."
Emperor Wei persuaded him earnestly and sincerely.
He already knew Qin Yu very well and would never seduce him with high-ranking officials and generous salaries. It was completely meaningless.
He knew that Qin Yu's goal was to enjoy life.
Qin Yu felt a headache, "Now, this is the only way. If things come back halfway now, all my hard work will be in vain."
"Then I'll go talk to Zhang Zian, the great scholar, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree or not."
Emperor Wei smiled and said: "He will definitely agree. What we are doing now is to purge the officials. This is what they want to see most."
Emperor Wei was very happy.
He is really lucky to find such a good son-in-law like Qin Yu.
Every crisis and difficulty in the Wei Dynasty was overcome by Qin Yu.
Just like this time Zhang Zian was invited to the court.
In the entire Wei Dynasty, apart from Qin Yu, the Emperor Wei really didn't know anyone else who could please him, including him, the emperor of Wei Dynasty.
The matter hit it off immediately.
Qin Yu did not delay any longer and took Xiao Nan and Shen Binglan from the outer hall out of Huide Hall.
After Qin Yu left.
Emperor Wei looked at Xiao Rou and said thoughtfully: "I heard that Qi State is going to hold a cocktail reception early next year? For the winner of the reception, the Qi State royal family will purchase the formula at a high price or cooperate to open a brewery?"
Xiao Rou nodded and responded: "Yes, I have also heard about this."
Emperor Wei frowned and stood up, "Qi State and Wei Dynasty are allies by agreement, and trade with each other is unstoppable. If they are allowed to hold a cocktail party and produce some good wines, they will definitely punish our Wei Dynasty wine industry.
The impact is not a good thing for fiscal revenue."
In the previous Wei dynasty, wine could be bought and sold freely without any interference from the court.
However, after the founding of the new dynasty, due to the turmoil in the country during the last years of Anhe's reign, the national treasury was empty, the financial resources of the Ministry of Household Affairs were not as good as before, and there were famines and food shortages in various places.
In order to increase household tax revenue and cope with food shortages.
Qin Wenyao proposed to restore the wine tax system. Businesses that make and sell wine need to report and have a license issued by the court before they can make wine and sell it. They must pay a part of the tax on the wine sold every month.
Businesses without a brewing license are not allowed to brew wine privately, let alone sell it.
The promulgation of the wine tax policy greatly solved some of the financial gaps in the imperial court.
But in recent years, many aristocratic families have begun to secretly make wine and sell it, which has plunged the Dawei wine market into chaos and caused the Ministry of Household Affairs to lose a lot of money.
Emperor Wei was also thinking about reviewing wine, no longer allowing private winemaking, and changing all winemaking to official winemaking.
In this way, the imperial court's fiscal revenue can increase a lot.
But before Emperor Wei had time to discuss with Qin Wenyao, something unexpected happened in Qi State.
