The first day of December in the fifth year of Daxia.
Chang'an ushered in the first snow of the year.
During this year, the weather in the Great Xia was smooth and the government was clear and clear. Under the governance of the three prime ministers and ministers, the country was generally peaceful and the people were safe.
The Emperor Wu Tianci of Great Xia changed a lot in the next half year. He began to actively participate in state affairs, and even put forward some very insightful ideas.
For example, using business to feed agriculture!
Business in Daxia is now extremely prosperous, creating a huge amount of tax revenue for Daxia. This has led to a problem. Many farmers are more willing to work in those workshops and give up the farmland that was their life in the past.
Although agriculture is still not a problem, its output can fully meet the needs of Daxia's population growth, and its exports have even reached new heights.
But Wu Tianci believes that if things continue like this, especially after those young and middle-aged people go ashore and do not return to the countryside, the abandonment of farmland may become more serious, and a food crisis is very likely to occur in the future.
After discussing this idea, Yan Xiwen and others all agreed, so the Ministry of Finance issued a new policy-the Basic Farmland Subsidy Law.
This new policy was approved by the cabinet, and Emperor Wu Tianci signed an order for nationwide implementation. This move was appreciated by hundreds of millions of people in Daxia.
Yan Xiwen and others were naturally pleased, feeling that Fu Xiaoguan's letter should have played a role, and felt that the emperor had finally begun to put state affairs first and consider the people.
What they didn't know was that the person who proposed this idea was not Wu Tianci, but a staff member of the inner court named Gong Huanyu.
Because of this idea, Wu Tianci gained an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, so Gong Huanyu became Wu Tianci's most important staff member, no one!
In Wu Tianci’s view, Gong Huanyu, who is only thirty years old, is resourceful and has the style of a national scholar. However, Wu Tianci still cannot completely control him in the outer court, and can only feel wronged that Gong Huanyu still stays in the inner court. That’s all.
"Your Majesty, it is my honor to have your Majesty's trust. Besides, it is also my duty to make suggestions for Your Majesty. I am a commoner and work in Huiyang. Fortunately, I have Tuoba Wang, the Governor of the Xixia Autonomous Region. Only by recommendation can one come to the emperor."
"I always remember what the Supreme Emperor once said: This is a humble house, but I am kind to my virtue. Therefore, what I seek is not for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but I just cannot bear that the great and prosperous age created by the Supreme Emperor will be defeated by villains. That’s it! ”
Yangxin Hall.
Gong Huanyu bowed and said these words in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
Wu Tianci sighed in his heart, how great it would be if the three prime ministers and assistants could have this understanding of Mr. Gong!
"Mr. Gong, I...you are my national scholar, but you have to feel aggrieved for the time being."
Wu Tianci sat by the stove and warmed himself by the fire. The firelight reflected his face. His eyes slowly narrowed and he said: "According to your plan, I have chosen some people this year... They are all These young people from ordinary families have now gone down to various places to serve as officials... I naturally hope that they can grow up faster, but I am afraid it will take three to five years before they have a chance to enter the center."
"But I am still young, and you are in your prime. Just wait, you can always wait until that day!"
A glint flashed in Gong Huanyu's eyes, and he bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor's reputation for founding Great Xia is extremely high, and all the civil and military officials in this dynasty are the Supreme Emperor's former friends. The Emperor will feel aggrieved by this. It is inevitable that there is no good way, because the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are indeed working conscientiously for Daxia."
"So I think... Your Majesty, don't think too much about anything. You just need to secretly accumulate strength... This power lies in people. Please be sure to grasp the personnel changes in Daxia."
"As the Emperor said, the Emperor is still very young and has a long way to go in the future. When the Emperor cultivates a group of people of his own, and these people grow up with the Emperor, sooner or later they will be able to go When we get to this temple, the emperor will naturally be proud of himself!"
Wu Tianci was convinced, "Mr. Gong still understands me. Besides... didn't Mr. Gong say that there is another strategy that will be of great benefit to my reputation?"
Wu Tianci raised his head and looked at Gong Huanyu, his eyes full of expectation.
Gong Huanyu smiled and said: "I do have another plan, and that is... military reform!"
Wu Tianci was startled, "How to reform?"
"Great Xia is at peace all over the world. The generals and soldiers of the former Great Xia Army, they have been working too hard to expand the territory and guard the border with the Supreme Emperor in the south and north for so many years... Therefore, I wonder, is it possible? Let those generals and soldiers retire?"
"Give them a sufficient sum of money as their post-retirement expenses, and let them return to their places of origin, either doing business or farming."
Wu Tianci frowned, and now the First Army of Daxia left the Daxia expedition. Daxia originally had eight armies, and his father changed the seventh and eighth armies into the Daxia Engineering Corps. They put down The guns in hand were used to build roads and bridges, so now there are only five armies with a total of 500,000 people left in Daxia.
He naturally understood the meaning of Gong Huanyu’s words, and his heart suddenly became excited——
The military reform is justified. In fact, the soldiers of these five armies have served for a long time, and many of them have even delayed the opportunity to start a family.
I asked them to go back and start a family and live a peaceful life. The three prime ministers and the cabinet had no reason to refuse, because the retirement of these people does not mean that the Great Xia Army is gone.
I can then appoint Minister of War Zhuo Bielie to recruit new troops. These soldiers are my soldiers!
Even the garrison of Chang'an City...Wu Tianci touched his chin, and he could take this opportunity to take the garrison into his own hands.
"What Mr. Gong said... I will consider it carefully. Speaking of which, those warriors followed their father in the north and south, and they really worked hard and made great achievements. Now that the world is at peace in the Great Xia, they should also have a good rest. ”
"Exactly!"
Gong Huanyu said again: "But I think that if this matter is to be brought up, it would be more appropriate for Zhuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War to raise it. After all, Zhuo Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of War. After all, he has no conflicts with the ministers in the court. The conflict will not make those ministers think that there is any little thought on your part.”
"I know that the emperor doesn't have any small thoughts, but those people...those people are already somewhat separated from the emperor, so I don't think they will think too much about it, so I feel that the emperor doesn't know about this matter. I will wait for Zhuo Shangshu Mention it, it will be safer to wait until the three prime ministers come to ask you for your opinion."
"Yes!" Wu Tianci thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled. He suddenly asked Gong Huanyu another question: "Mr. Gong, my internal funds are short of money. I want to ask you how to control the household department!"
"...The Ministry of Household Affairs is under the single-handed control of Yunxi Yan Yun Shangshu. This Yun Shangshu was appointed by the Supreme Emperor and has close relations with the three prime ministers... If you want to touch him, it will be a serious crime!"
"Then give him a big crime!"
"Your Majesty, please do not act too hastily. You must plan this matter slowly!"
