In the Chancellor's Desk, many servants had arrived to pay homage to their new boss. Zhuge Liang sat on top and looked at the many colleagues in front of him. He had dealt with these people when he was formulating the law, and the relationship was still good.
Now that he has become a minister, these people have nothing to dissatisfy, and their congratulations to him are extremely sincere.
Zhuge Liang chatted with everyone for a while and explained some things. Unlike Xun Yu, he naturally had different requirements for each servant. Zhuge Liang said: "From today on, the Shangshutai will hold discussions with the ministers twice a month.
Everyone must not only summarize the gains and losses of their own houses within one month, but also set goals for the next month, and must make improvements at all times..."
"In my case, no merit is just a fault. You are all outstanding people in this world. I don't believe that you can't do this. Therefore, I hope that you will not spare your efforts. If you have a small merit, I will write to the emperor.
, Please give a big reward, and for those who have made great contributions, I will win the position of Zhonglie Hall for them!" Zhuge Liang said seriously, but everyone was shocked and looked happy.
It is still very difficult to enter the Zhonglie Hall. In the past few years, only the three princes of the past dynasties and even some generals with great military exploits can be among them. Most of the ordinary temple ministers are not qualified to enter. Entering the Zhonglie Hall
The hall represents the eternal name and the sacrifice of future generations, which is definitely a huge attraction for them.
Most of those who can stay in a position like Pu She have reached the core of the temple. No matter money or family fortune, it is nothing to them. Only leaving a name in history is worth pursuing.
What's more, they are not mediocre people. They are not afraid of Zhuge Liang's high demands. The old Xun Gong can't be said to be bad, but he still lacks Zhuge Liang's spirit. Zhuge Liang has just taken office as the minister, and he demands
They tried their best to do it, and even said that no result is worth the effort. Isn't this an opportunity for them to display their ambitions?
"The next discussion will be held in six days. I hope that everyone can come up with some suggestions by then..." Zhuge Liang looked at these people with a smile on his face and said gently, but if he can't
After finishing it, I wonder if he will still look like this. Everyone resigned and left the place, but his brother Zhuge Jin still stayed.
"Kong Ming..." Zhuge Jin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth since he found out that his younger brother had become a minister. It was really scary for this old-fashioned, early-born servant to look like this. However,
Everyone also knew why he was so happy, and they all visited him one after another to get close to him. Zhuge Liang seemed to have just seen his brother, and asked doubtfully: "Does Zhuge Pushe have anything else?"
Zhuge Jin was stunned, and instantly returned to his original appearance, with a straight face, became solemn, and said: "I want to ask, has the memorial I originally given to Duke Xun been approved?"
"This will have to wait until the next court meeting. Pu She can mention it again and I will deal with it."
"Okay...", Zhuge Jin nodded, and then said: "Then I will take my leave. If your husband has free time, you can come to my house. Your nephew and sister-in-law miss you very much.
..."
"Here." Zhuge Liang bowed to him, and then Zhuge Jin left. In the minister's desk, the two of them were addressed by their official status. Zhuge Jin also understood and sent everyone away. Only then did Zhuge Liang pick up the
Looking at the memorials they originally gave to Xun Yu, I have to say that few of this group of temple ministers were mediocre. The memorials they had previously given to Xun Linggong also contained many good suggestions.
.
However, on the one hand, Xun Linggong was old and could not do it himself and was unwilling to take risks. On the other hand, Xun Linggong was busy with important matters of law and land all day long, but he had somewhat neglected these matters. It just so happened that he could take over it himself.
, Zhuge Liang has confidence in himself. He can definitely carry out these things perfectly. If he gives himself a year, the empty treasury will definitely be piled up again.
In the next few days, he spent the next few days in his mansion thinking about the improvement of the eighteen mansions under his command and the good strategies that each mansion could implement, without going out. Fortunately, he took Princess Raoyang and her daughter into the Shangshu Taiwan.
With his wife and children as companions every day, he is not as tired as before. As for Zhuge Zhan, he was left in the original Zhuge Mansion. In one month, he will participate in the assessment, but Zhuge Liang has no sympathy for him.
There is no hope.
Just when Zhuge Liang was about to hold the second group meeting, Huangmen came to the door and asked Zhuge Linggong to go to Houde Hall. Zhuge Liang quickly put down what he was doing, got on the carriage, and rushed to the palace. Su Wei did not dare to stop him.
, let him go all the way, Zhuge Liang quickly arrived outside the Houde Hall. After the announcement at the Yellow Gate, Zhuge Liang reported his name, and then walked into the Houde Hall.
According to his status as the Third Order, there was no reason to act like this. However, Zhuge Liang did not dare to trust him. Even as a minister, he still maintained the most humble courtesy and walked into the Hall of Houde. However, he just walked in.
Entering the Houde Hall, Zhuge Liang was stunned, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared. The emperor was sitting in front of the Houde Hall, looking a little decadent and listless.
The whole person seemed to be much older, and his back was slightly bent.
Is this still the domineering emperor he knew?
"Your Majesty..." Zhuge Liang spoke slowly, and Liu Xi raised his head. His eyes were a little dark, and his face was as pale as snow. He forced a smile, "Kong Ming, are you here? Come on,
Sit down." After listening to his words, Zhuge Liang slowly sat in front of him. The two were silent for a moment, and then Liu Xicai asked: "What you said in the Chancellor's Desk has been transmitted to me, Xun
Your Majesty, did you say that you acted too hastily?"
"Your Majesty, times have changed. In the past, Duke Xun Ling did not dare to take drastic measures in governing the country, but he was worried that the national treasury could not bear too many policies to be implemented at the same time. But now, it is completely possible to implement them..."
"Oh? Isn't it more empty now than in the past?"
"Your Majesty, we have paper money now. Paper money is different from copper coins. You can make as many as you want. I even have the means to come to Kushan and other foreign countries to shoulder the economic pressure of the Han Dynasty..." Zhuge Liang slowly said
He said that he and Liu Ba had a great plan. As long as trade can continue, the Han Dynasty can let foreign countries pay for the Han Dynasty. Many policies of the Han Dynasty can be carried out at the same time without being hindered. The only difficulty is food.
However, after the implementation of the Yankang Law, the increase in grain production in the Han Dynasty once again reached a period of leaps and bounds. Countless grains continued to flow to Luoxian County from all directions and from the desert overseas, which was able to support it.
"In this way, by next year, the national treasury will be free from the crisis caused by the enforcement of the law, and even, within a few years, it will be able to surpass the original scale. The minister is not talented, but he still dares to issue a military order with His Majesty, one year
After that, the treasury will be returned to its original state. After three years, the grain production of the Han Dynasty will be increased three times and the taxation will be increased two times. There will be no more lonely refugees in the Han Dynasty. If one person dies of hunger, I will resign.
Resign!" Zhuge Liang was full of confidence.
Liu Xi looked at the documents in front of him blankly, but did not speak.
"His Majesty?"
"His Majesty??"
"Oh..." Liu Xi suddenly woke up, looked at Zhuge Liang, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Very good, just do what you said. Alas, I have been a little tired these days. Don't blame Kong Ming.
..."
"I don't dare. I just hope that your majesty can take good care of yourself. Your majesty is the backbone of the man. If your majesty falls ill, it will have the greatest impact on the man. Your majesty not only belongs to you, but also to the people of the world.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself..." Zhuge Liang persuaded him a lot, and then left the palace. Liu Xi naturally promised him that he would have a good rest for a few days.
Watching Zhuge Liang leave, Liu Xi shook his head.
"I belong to the people of the world, to the harem, to the Eastern Palace...but I don't belong to myself..."
After seeing off Zhuge Liang, Liu Xi hurried to the harem. When he walked into the harem with the potion in hand, he saw Hu'er hugging the queen. The two of them were crying together. Liu Xi felt a little anxious.
, put the medicine in his hand aside, walked up and hugged the two people. When they saw Liu Xi coming, the two of them snuggled into his arms and continued to cry.
"What's going on here?"
"Father, I miss Yeah... I want Yeah... Just bring Yeah here... I miss him so much..." Hu'er cried with tears on his face, Liu
Xi couldn't speak, and the queen on the side didn't speak when she heard it. She just kept crying. Liu Xi hugged someone with one hand and said slowly: "Hu'er, don't be anxious, Ye Ye hasn't gone anywhere, I know
Well, he is in heaven..."
"He is watching you. When you fall asleep, you can see him in your dreams... He doesn't like to see others cry. Don't cry. Think about him seeing you cry.
, can’t even come down to comfort you, how painful it will be in your heart! Can’t you think of him?”
"Queen, you are still pregnant, I beg you... don't cry anymore..."
Liu Xi persuaded the queen for a long time, and their cries gradually became quieter, but they still sobbed from time to time. He persuaded the queen to take some medicine and coaxed her to sleep. Then Liu Xi sent Hu'er away who had been sobbing.
In the East Palace, holding Hu'er's hand, Liu Xi said seriously: "Your mother misses you too. If you don't want her to cry sadly, don't mention it when you see your mother in the future."
Yeah, tell me more interesting things to make your mother happy..."
"Your mother's health is getting worse and worse, and you are already a man. No matter what, no matter how painful it is, don't cry!!"
"I, a big man, cannot shed tears, do you understand?"
After walking out of the palace, he hurriedly walked towards Houde Hall. Many yellow gates followed the emperor. As soon as he reached Qiongyuan, the emperor paused and collapsed!
"nation!!!"
ps: I offer a book written by my fellow countryman. Between us, he and I seem to be the only ones writing history. The title of the book is "The Grumpy Little Marquis". The old wolf poisoned a lot of seedlings to death. I can't figure out why. There are still people who ask the old wolf to sacrifice, well... don't blame him if he is poisoned to death.
