Dading Prefecture, Far North Road Prefecture.
Ning Yuchun has been here for more than a month, and he has lost a lot of weight.
This time Fu Xiaoguan did not give him any orders, and he had to handle everything alone.
What he faced was a Tao that was about the same size as the former Yu Dynasty!
This Tao is very poor due to continuous wars, and the business of this Tao is far from comparable to any Tao in Daxia!
He had already thought about various possibilities on the way to his appointment, but when he set foot on the Far North Road and learned all the way to Dading Mansion, he realized that he had thought too much about it in the past.
The spring plowing is not even half done, and more than half of the fields are abandoned.
With no food or clothing, the peasants lived a life inferior to that of pigs and dogs.
Nine out of ten households were captured by the strong men, and in many villages only a few old people, women and children were left.
The government agencies are cumbersome and lazy, with a lot of salary but few people who actually do anything.
The numerous exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were like a mountain pressing on the heads of the people, leaving them gasping for breath and unable to straighten their waists.
So when Daxia overthrew the Liao Dynasty, although there was no praise among the people, there was no harsh criticism either.
Not to mention the common people, even the merchants of the Liao Dynasty were watching quietly. They did not want to pull up the fallen Liao Dynasty again, nor did they show much goodwill to Daxia. They were just like Watching like a bystander.
The first thing Ning Yuchun did when he took office was to directly exempt farmers from all taxes without the approval of the three provinces. This move caused quite a stir among the people of the Liao Dynasty. Then a glimmer of hope seemed to be restored.
However, this move caused huge repercussions in the officialdom and shopping malls of Far North Province.
Immediately, Ning Yuchun ordered that officials from the three prefectures and twelve states under the jurisdiction of Far North Road be summoned to gather in Dading Mansion on August 20th.
Sitting in the official office of Zhongshu Province, Ning Yuchun frowned as he looked at the former Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. After a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at Ning Zhiyuan, the former Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue:
"Every year, more than six million taels of silver are spent on official salaries alone... How many officials were there in the Liao Dynasty?"
Ning Zhiyuan sat on the left side of Ning Yuchun and said casually: "My lord, there are more than 30,000 officials in the Liao Dynasty."
Ning Yuchun's brows instantly furrowed even more. There used to be only more than 10,000 officials in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, but there were more than 30,000 in the Liao Dynasty...!
He looked at Chen Baiqiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, on the right, "Can you bring the list of officials of the Ministry of Personnel with you?"
Chen Baiqiu held a box and handed it over cautiously. Ning Yuchun did not accept it, but said extremely seriously: "Your Majesty is kind and wants to use you Liao people to govern the Far North Road, just like Cilechuan. policy.”
"But! What I want to tell you is that there are thousands of students in Daxia waiting to enter the officialdom. I don't know any of the officials in this list. There is only one thing I want you to do. ——"
"Select three thousand people from these officials!"
Ning Yuchun emphasized his tone, "Remember, I only need 3,000 people! The entire Far North Road, including this government agency, only needs 3,000 officials from top to bottom!"
"So these three thousand people must be useful and capable people!"
"This..." Chen Baiqiu was shocked. The number of people was reduced from 30,000 to 3,000, and one guy had to kill more than 20,000.
The intertwined relationship between these officials is extremely complicated, and many high-ranking officials in the DPRK are involved, including himself. Who can be killed?
"Master Ning," Chen Baiqiu took a deep breath and whispered: "The officials here are not easy to kill."
Ning Yuchun laughed and said, "In this case, you, the official minister, are of little use."
These words startled Chen Baiqiu, and he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, sir, I will do it right away!"
"Stop!"
Ning Yuchun stopped Chen Baiqiu who was about to leave very sternly, "You probably don't know that there is a special department in Daxia called Yuli Tai. Its duty is to supervise all officials, including you and me. Any one Officials, even small county magistrates, are under the supervision of the jailer's station."
"Mr. Chen, if the person you elect cannot make achievements that are praised by the people in the corresponding position... then I will not be the one who will cause trouble for you."
"I was invited to Guanyun City for tea by the warden's station. Master Chen, the tea is not delicious!"
When Chen Baiqiu, who was still thinking about small calculations in his heart, heard this, he immediately swallowed his saliva. He hugged the box anxiously and heard Ning Yuchun say:
"This is no longer the Liao Dynasty, this is the Far North Road of Great Xia! You have to understand the current situation. You don't need to cling to anyone. You just need to seek political power in your position, and all your actions You only need to serve the country of Daxia. As for other interferences, just come to me!"
"I make the decision for you. If anyone dares to obstruct it, I will kill his entire family!"
This sentence was like a reassurance that made Chen Baiqiu feel much more at ease. He naturally understood how many of the more than 30,000 officials were vegetarians.
He was originally worried about retaliation from all sides, but now after listening to Ning Yuchun's words, he truly understood that the world of Liao Dynasty had changed.
Yes, why should I be afraid of their revenge?
I am now an official in Daxia. This Taoist looks quite young, but he is very courageous in doing things these days. He is someone outside the old forces. He is here to break the old forces. And now if I want to keep this official position, I naturally need to submit the most perfect letter of nomination to him.
Chen Baiqiu hugged the box and bowed, "Please don't worry, sir. I will hand this register into your hands in the evening."
"Very good, go ahead."
Chen Baiqiu stepped back, and Ning Yuchun looked at Ning Zhiyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs:
"The remaining three thousand officials, including me, will have their salaries reduced by half according to Daxia standards for two years! What the Ministry of Finance has to do next is to take the fourteen million taels of silver from the treasury. Half of it will be used for the construction of the Far North road network so that people can earn some money, otherwise they will not be able to survive this year. ”
"All the other money must be kept. The next thing the Ministry of Household Affairs will do is census. I want detailed population and field data for each village! Within two years, the grain production of Far East Road must be increased. At least be self-sufficient."
"In terms of business, I believe that businessmen from all over Daxia will arrive soon. I have brought all the laws on business. Minister Yunxi Yanyun from the Ministry of Commerce is also on the way, and everyone from the Ministry of Household Affairs Be sure to understand business laws."
"You all must remember, throw away everything in the past!"
"All officials from top to bottom must relearn Daxia's policies, laws, and ways of doing things. If you are a conservative...I will give all of you half a year, if you can't keep up with the situation, Then you’ll be eliminated!”
The former civil and military officials standing below all took a breath. They looked at each other but no one said a word.
Ning Yuchun’s meeting lasted for two hours. He initially explained to these officials the operating system and relevant rules of the Daxia court. Finally, he said:
"A new era has arrived, and the era of riding on the heads of the common people and dominating others has passed. You must keep one thing in mind: all officials in Daxia must serve the people wholeheartedly!"
"Anyone who violates...should be judged by the law!"
