Liu Zhien obviously knew nothing about the current situation of Wu Desi.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Wude Division is a formidable spy agency. Once it is messed with, their families will be destroyed immediately. But in the eyes of top officials like Wen Junshi and Wang Wenchuan, what is the Wude Division?
If Wude Si dares to cause trouble for Wen Junshi, hundreds of officials will immediately attack him, and he will not be able to survive.
After all, Wude's power comes from the emperor, and even the emperor himself is still wary of these important ministers.
In fact, when Liu Zhien was promoted as the Secretary of Military Affairs, he already knew that a group of important ministers, including Wen Junshi, had impeached him over and over again.
But he had no choice but to endure it silently and continue to do his stupid things.
But Wang Wenchuan's attitude at this time obviously made him confused.
What do you mean?
Is it possible that the Prime Minister wants to stand up for me?
How is this possible...
In Liu Zhien's view, no matter how hard Wang Wenchuan and Wen Junshi didn't deal with each other, they were actually the same kind of people.
Literati and officials with character cherish each other.
The reason why there was such a quarrel was simply because the two sides had different political views.
No matter what, he is at the bottom of the chain of contempt for his promotion of military virtues.
But immediately afterwards, Wang Wenchuan's actions confirmed Liu Zhien's suspicion and shocked him.
Chu Ge smiled slightly: "Liu Tiju, what if I promise you that these people can be eliminated so that your Wude Division can exist stably for a long time?"
Liu Zhien couldn't help being shocked: "Wang Xiang, be careful! Wu Desi is directly under the official family, how dare you..."
Chu Ge interrupted him: "Liu Tiju, why do you think the officials asked you to come to me? This matter is not only my intention, but also the officials' intentions."
Liu Zhien's eyes widened and he couldn't accept it for a moment.
Obviously, he never imagined that his Wude Si could one day play such a huge role...
Chu Ge couldn't help but feel proud. It seemed that this step of the plan was successfully completed.
The conflict between Takeshi, Wen Junshi and others is obviously irreconcilable.
When the Wude Division was founded, it was a spy agency directly under the emperor. For Wen Junshi and others, as a bureaucratic group, they themselves were afraid of such a spy agency that monitored them all the time.
In addition, due to poor management, Wu Desi went crazy and violated the law, and his discipline was lax, which was even more unacceptable to these scholar-bureaucrats who claimed to be clean.
In short, I hope the emperor will abolish Wu Desi as soon as possible.
For those in the Wude Division, once the Wude Division is abolished, they may not only lose their jobs, but may also be liquidated for previous violations of law and discipline.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Can these people not hate Wen Junshi and others?
The contradiction between the two sides is inherently irreconcilable.
Originally, Wude Si didn't do anything because the strength gap between the two sides was too big. The emperor couldn't do anything to these scholar-bureaucrats, so what could Wude Si do as the emperor's minion?
The original Wang Wenchuan's attitude towards Wude Si was the same as Wenjun's.
He doesn't like to see this secret service either.
But since Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, has made up his mind to be a powerful minister, Wude Si is an excellent helper for him.
He wanted to tie the emperor and Wude Si firmly to his own ship.
For the emperor, he could use his power to bribe him; for Wu Desi, it was easier to bribe him.
Chu Ge was sure that if his appearance were photographed at this time, he would definitely look like a traitorous minister.
Because what he said to Liu Zhien would make anyone tremble with fear after hearing it.
He asked Liu Zhien to secretly collect evidence of all officials' illegal crimes. This included not only evidence of corruption and bribery, but also work style issues, all materials that could legitimately bring down this official.
And it is emphasized that it is all officials.
Including the old party and the new party.
All these materials will be sent to the emperor in full copy.
Because Chu Ge was very sure that Liu Zhien was ultimately on the emperor's side, and it was impossible for him to let Liu Zhien selectively report to the emperor.
In this way, sending all the materials to the emperor has at least three advantages.
One is to prove to the emperor that he has no other intentions and strengthen the emperor's feeling that everything is under control;
Second, the new party and the old party were given dirty materials together to further dilute their impression of being in the party struggle;
The third is to let the emperor know the taste and become unable to extricate himself. When the emperor realizes that he can actually control the life and death of many officials, it will become easier for Chu Ge to influence him.
In addition, Chu Ge asked Liu Zhien to find a way to restrain his subordinates, whether it was to eliminate those who broke the law or to conduct internal rectification, in short, to find a way to arrest Wude Si for illegal crimes within a period of time and arrest people without evidence.
Suppress these shortcomings.
Because Chu Ge knew very well that the old party would not sit still and wait for death. They would use more severe means to attack Wu Desi and ask the emperor to ban him.
But if Wude Si's butt was cleaner at this time, the emperor could easily save them.
At least it won't fall into too much passivity.
Chu Ge knew very well that Liu Zhien had this ability.
Of course, Chu Ge didn't intend to let Liu Zhien work in vain. He had already thought about what kind of benefits he would give Wudesi.
First of all, he told Liu Zhien that he would apply to the emperor to increase Wude's salary and various benefits.
Secondly, he drew a pie and told Liu Zhien that as long as this matter went smoothly and the emperor was happy, Wude Si's power would become greater and greater in the future.
Finally, he explained the pros and cons: after passing this village, there will be no such store. He wants to regain his position in front of Wen Junshi and other important ministers, and this is the chance.
Chu Ge said that it was a rare chance for a prime minister to help Wude Si like him. If it were anyone else, he would only work with Wen Junshi to suppress Wude Si to death.
By then, these people in the Wude Division may have to go to jail, not to mention losing their official positions.
This time Chu Ge did not use his talent for making impassioned speeches, but instead used his talent of "keeping a low profile".
But after some rhetoric, Liu Zhien was completely convinced.
Because Chu Ge's analysis was so right, almost every sentence spoke to his heart. In this case, he didn't need the blessing of the orderer's talent at all, and he would be completely devoted to Chu Ge!
Not only did Liu Zhien have no reason to refuse, but he sincerely wanted to do his best to help Wang Wenchuan and get this thing done.
…
After Liu Zhien left, Chu Ge smiled like a villain and continued to immerse himself in the new law plan on the table.
Although he has put party struggle first, the new law still needs to be pushed forward symbolically.
The first is official law.
This is something that the emperor cares deeply about, and of course it must be put first. Even if all other laws are discarded, this one must be retained.
The second is the green seedling method.
This was the core of Wang Wenchuan's reform, but it was also the most controversial one. Judging from the subsequent results, it did bring a lot of revenue to the national finance, but it also caused great controversy and caused the bankruptcy of many farmers.
Chu Ge thought for a moment and crossed out the Green Miao Law.
It is not suitable to implement the green seedling method at the moment and will be discussed later.
The equal loss method and the market change method.
On the surface it looks good, but in the eyes of the old party, this is an act that competes with the people, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect in the social context at that time. In the end, it did not bring much fiscal revenue to the country.
.
Don't think about it yet.
The Baojia method is of little significance and should not be considered.
The exemption law is the one that Wang Wenchuan is most confident about, and many conservative ministers actually support the exemption law, but they have different opinions on some details of the exemption law.
Except for Wen Junshi, a weirdo who demanded the repeal of the exemption law within a few days in his later years, many other members of the old party turned to support the exemption law.
Moreover, the exemption law is the one that brings the most fiscal revenue to the country among the new laws.
Therefore, after Chu Ge thought about it, he decided to retain the exemption law. However, some adjustments needed to be made to the details.
According to Wang Wenchuan's original plan, the exemption law would collect money from everyone, but some people in the old party believed that the exemption money should only be collected from wealthy households.
After some consideration, Chu Ge decided to compromise and no longer charge exemption money for some special groups such as single-person households, orphans and widows. Although this would reduce some income, it at least made a "love for the people"
This gesture can also win over some people in the old party.
Of course, Chu Ge also knows that the execution below is likely to go wrong. But it doesn't matter, at least in the initial stage of "debating scriptures", it can give himself a great advantage.
The Farmland Water Conservancy Law is a law that benefits the country and the people, and is not controversial, so it should be retained.
The Disarmament Law and the Ordnance Supervision Law are aimed at the military. The former stipulates that soldiers must retire after the age of fifty. Those who fail the test will be demoted to the Xiang Army.
Weapons, improve the quality of weapons.
These two items are considered successful by the standards of future generations and should be retained.
The tribute examination law abolished the Ming Dynasty Classics Examination, and the Jinshi Examination was mainly based on the classics and policy theory, which improved the practical ability of selecting talents after the imperial examination. This can be considered a success, and it is more useful, so it should be retained.
Finally, Chu Ge summarized the contents of the reform from the beginning.
The official system law, the exemption law (some lower-level groups are exempted from tax), the farmland water conservancy law, the disarmament law, the weapons supervision law, and the tribute law.
It is certainly impossible to implement all these contents at once. Chu Ge’s idea is to try to push the control law, the labor exemption law and the farmland water conservancy law first, and then slowly push forward the other ones.
Judging from the plan before Wang Wenchuan's reform, this new plan seems to be painless.
It is true that the opposition caused will be much smaller than before, but even if all these plans are successfully implemented, they will not be able to save the Qi Dynasty, which is gradually becoming terminally ill.
And this is exactly what Chu Ge wants.
His primary purpose now is not to reform, but to eradicate dissidents.
This plan not only allowed the emperor to see that he was actively working for the reform, further strengthening his good impression in the emperor's mind, but also effectively increased the treasury surplus, allowing the emperor to determine the effect of the new law, and could also temporarily moderate and remove Wenjun.
The contradictions between conservative officials outside the actual situation have a paralyzing effect on them.
Chu Ge would even take the initiative to show weakness to the old party and agree with their views in certain aspects.
But secretly, Chu Gehui sent Wude Division, and began to collect clues on the old party officials, and found various reasons to send them out of the power center of the court, or demote them to the barren land of Lingnan, or dismiss them and imprison them.
.
This process will take at least five years.
After he used this method to drive away all the old party officials, including Wen Junshi, he would use the promoted new party officials to make clear arrangements for the reform.
…
After finalizing the details of the reform, the fog in front of my eyes gathered and then dispersed.
Chu Ge discovered that Wang Wenchuan, whom he played, appeared in the court again.
But compared with the previous several situations in the court, there are obviously some differences.
When he appeared in the court before, he was scolded almost unilaterally. Although he also used his gift of impassioned speeches to make a speech, it actually had no effect.
The final result was to be dismissed.
But this time, Chu Ge found that his measures regarding the new law had been sent to the ministers including Wenjun Shi by the eunuch beside the emperor.
The two sides did not start scolding each other immediately. The old party, represented by Wen Junshi, was looking at the new plan seriously and had different expressions.
Chu Ge knew in his heart: There has indeed been a change!
The game "Dark Sand" is quite smart. It will automatically skip some meaningless cutscenes, but once there are some changes in the performance of the current historical slice, it will cut to nodes that may have an important impact.
Before, Chu Ge only had a verbal spat with these officials in the court. This was because after the plan was finalized, how the people below would implement it and what the final outcome of the new law would be had been largely determined.
No matter what he says in court, the outcome will not change drastically.
But this time, his behavior in the court will obviously have a great impact on the subsequent game process.
Taking this opportunity, Chu Ge glanced at Wen Junshi from the corner of his eye.
It can be said that this man and Wang Wenchuan were in love with each other. Both of them were extremely talented and learned, and they were both gentle and elegant. They were role models for literati. However, their political ideas were completely different. One was too radical, while the other was too conservative.
Wen Junshi is only two years older than Wang Wenchuan, and they both look like middle-aged men in their forties.
The corners of his eyes are raised, and his five-willow long beard floats on his chest. He has a sense of oppression as a scholar and a doctor who sets an example for others, and he also has a magnanimous and knowledgeable demeanor.
Wang Wenchuan's temperament is different. He is slovenly and careless about personal hygiene. On the surface, he is easy-going and reserved, and seems to be easy to talk to. But when his stubbornness comes up, even nine oxen can't pull him back.
Judging from the evaluation of later generations, Wang Wenchuan was scolded from the beginning of his life and continued to be scolded for hundreds of years; while Wenjun was actually criticized from his current life and continued to be scolded for hundreds of years.
It was not until modern times that the reputation of the two people reversed.
From a personal perspective, Chu Ge certainly didn't like Wen Junshi, but he had to admit that Wen Junshi was a respectable and very difficult opponent.
If conventional methods were used, even Wang Wenchuan might not have any chance of winning.
Therefore, such an opponent is worthy of Chu Ge's unscrupulous methods to defeat.
Soon, all the important ministers in the court had read the new reform plan.
They just looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Not only the old party is confused, but other people in the new party are also confused.
What's going on?
Has the relationship changed?
These people in the court obviously knew Wang Wenchuan's character very well, knew his stubborn temper, and also knew about the new legal plans he originally planned to implement.
But the new law they saw at this time was obviously very different from the new law they knew before.
Originally, the biggest target of these officials was the Green Crops Law, but now it turned out that the Green Crops Law was gone?
Suddenly it felt like a punch on cotton.
The emperor also smiled slightly: "Gentlemen, would you like to share your views on the new law?"
