Age of mythical princes

Chapter 192 Working with such a group of idiots, how can they achieve dominance?
君府
After becoming the emperor, for Jiang Hua, the changes in all aspects are actually not that big, that is, the prefect's mansion has been changed into the emperor's mansion, and there are not many major changes in other places. He still goes to the virtual world to handle government affairs every day, sitting in the I deal with important government affairs in the study, and occasionally go out to bask in the sun and go fishing.I have to study the latest journals every day. If there is something I don’t understand, I just call someone to come over and explain it to me.

Yes, many Taoists are sometimes invited to go to the prefect's mansion to explain to Jiang Hua the principle of a certain spell, or the concept of a certain supernatural power or a certain magic weapon, so that Jiang Hua can continue to learn and improve.

In the past, this matter was mainly explained by cabinet members, but now that Jiang Hua's cultivation base is high, the cultivation base of cabinet members is not enough, so Taoists are often invited to give lectures.

Handling government affairs is very important, and improving strength is also very important.

Even in a sense, the latter is often more important than the former.

As long as you are strong enough, you can completely rule under one roof. If the governance is good, the governance will be rewarded. If the governance is not good, then the governance will be cut off and replaced.

In the study, Jiang Hua was checking the latest issue of the yellow-level periodical.

Nowadays, there are more and more types of yellow-level journals. In addition to official journals, there are also many journals issued by unofficial groups after filing and review.

For example, the one in front of me is a yellow journal run by the Academy itself.

The contents inside are all new ideas born by the magicians and Taoist priests in the academy.At the beginning, these new ideas would be submitted to the yellow journal sponsored by the cabinet, but after a long time, the cabinet was short of manpower, and the review process was too slow. After discussing with the people in the academy, they decided to start a journal by themselves. Got it.

Then, Jiang Hua agreed.

After agreeing, a certain Jijiu in the academy who was in charge of the gold industry also started to make a report, saying that in order to better develop the gold practice, he wanted to set up a journal dedicated to the gold practice. Prominence is also conducive to everyone's research progress.

Jiang Hua saw the report and approved it.

In this batch, more and more people began to report.

Up to now, there are more than 40 yellow-level journals, and there is still a growing trend.

"Nowadays, people are gradually publishing periodicals and newspapers privately..."

"Many ministers, some suggested that periodicals and newspapers be fully opened, and some suggested a comprehensive investigation..."

Speaking of this, Feng Yi took a stack of documents, which were all about the discussions of the ministers on this matter.

Those who agree with openness are placed on the left, those who agree with investigation are placed on the right, and those who are neutral or sloppy are placed in the middle. There are hundreds of copies in this release, and Jiang Hua was taken aback for a while.

"Are these ministers so free? There are so many government affairs every day, they should be very busy..." Jiang Hua asked directly.

I've been with Jiang Hua for a long time, and I know what style Jiang Hua likes, so Feng Yi said straightforwardly: "Many of these letters are following the trend, and they are all taking the opportunity to show their face in front of the lord."

"As for what happened to this matter, in fact, many ministers don't care. What they care about is whether they took this opportunity to show their faces in front of the lord, and whether they let their names be remembered by the lord."

"For many courtiers who haven't seen the lord for many years, writing a letter is also a way to strengthen the memory of the lord."

Hearing this, Jiang Hua remembered the memorial between a certain official in the Qing Dynasty and the emperor Lao Tzu in his previous life, which can be called a wonderful work.

Minister: How are you, Emperor?

Emperor: I'm fine!

A few days later, the minister continued to write: How are you, Your Majesty?
Your Majesty: I am fine!

A few days later, the minister continued to write: Your Majesty, how is your food today?
Emperor: I am very well, and the food is also very good!

A few more days later, the minister continued to write: Your Majesty, today is a beautiful day, how are you?
Emperor: I am very kind!

At first glance, it may seem that the minister is doing nothing and is wasting time, and the monarch is also wasting time.

But in fact, isn't this a way for the monarch to trust the minister and make the minister feel at ease?

If one day the monarch thinks that you are really annoying, don't write any more letters to me, then the minister will probably feel that he has lost the trust of the monarch, and his heart will beat when he does things in the future.

Jiang Hua flipped through these memorials, and it was really like what Feng Yi said: "Your Majesty, recently I heard that there is a discussion on whether to release periodicals and newspapers."

"I feel that this matter is not simple. There are probably people from other countries secretly contributing to the flames behind it. We can conduct a strict investigation from this angle."

"Now our Yancheng is on the cusp of the storm, and there are many people who pay attention to our Yancheng. At this time, there must be people from other countries who are interested in this."

"Once it is opened, people from other countries can take advantage of this and use Yancheng to smoothly spread what they want to say to the whole world."

Then, the above content is only the first half of the letter, and the second half is like this: "Your Majesty, the county where the minister is located is a county under the rule of Chunmu County. The planning of this county is not reasonable. Thousands of years ago , this county is developing very well, and in the end, because the nobles competed for interests, the county was divided into two, for better development..."

After reading the memorial, Jiang Hua changed it to another one. The first half was to express his opinion, and the second half was to ask how Jiang Hua was feeling today.

"Also, now that Huangtian World is open, many county magistrates have found an obsession in Huangtian World for various purposes, opened it up as a small dream world, and work in the dream world every day."

"In most dream worlds, there is still a time flow rate of [-]:[-]."

"In this way, one hour in reality is ten hours in the dream world. After enough time, county magistrates can devote more time and energy to handling government affairs, and many things can be handled more delicately. It works better too.”

"As far as I know, some county magistrates have already started to take advantage of this, and have frequently interviewed the village chiefs in the dream world."

"During the interview, there are often only the county magistrate and the village head in the dream world. The county magistrate asks the village head to answer. Using this method, many county magistrates have effectively and quickly grasped the counties under their control after taking office, and have become A county magistrate worthy of the name, not a county magistrate who was emptied by the village head."

What is power?
Some people say that it is personnel and financial rights.

Others say that it is to make the other party fear you.

Others say that power is the power to get others to do things for you.

And this county magistrate, through a very simple and very simple interview method, thoroughly understood the entire county and each township. When the county magistrate himself had first-hand information, the township leaders tried to deceive him becomes very difficult.

Many so-called stupid kings in history, in fact, have no problem with IQ, but lack of common sense, do not understand a lot of key information, and then do some things that seem like big fools.

Just like in the Jin Dynasty, there was an emperor who might have real intelligence problems. When the people suffered from famine, he asked his teacher: Why not eat minced meat?

In the end, I don't know which wicked guy actually spread this conversation, and then everyone thought that the little emperor had something wrong with his mind, and he was probably a fool.

As for whether the little emperor himself is really stupid or fake, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, after this incident, everyone treats him as a fool.

Essentially speaking, the little emperor's ability to ask this sentence shows that he still cares about the disaster victims.If you don't care about the life and death of the victims at all, you won't ask why the people have no food and don't eat meat.

The little emperor's mistake was that he didn't know what the real life of the people at the bottom was like. No one told him, so he could only blame himself and others: can he drink meat porridge when he doesn't eat.

This is actually the fault of the ministers, the civil servants who educated the little emperor.

However, after the news got out, the little emperor himself became a foolish emperor, an emperor with mental problems.

"It's pretty good, but I don't want to post a special award. What is the county magistrate's name? How is his cultivation?" Jiang Hua asked directly.

"This county magistrate was born as a commoner. The Chen family name is Yin Yang. It is said that he was ordinary at first. Later, he was enlightened by an old man in Xitou and directly entered Taoism. He became a Taoist priest overnight. It is also a great story."

"Before the Dao Extermination Order was issued, he had been living in seclusion. After the Dao Extermination Order was issued, he joined our Yancheng. In terms of merit, a prefect of a county can also do it."

"It's just that on the one hand, he still lacks a little strength, and on the other hand, he himself doesn't want to be a county guard, so he finds it troublesome."

Hearing this, Jiang Hua nodded slightly.This Chen Yinyang, he still has some impressions.

When the order to exterminate Taoism was issued, Taoist priests were the most advanced combat power in Yancheng.

Then, Chen Yinyang, who originally lived in seclusion in the mountains, did not have an official position in Yancheng. It stands to reason that he could just run away at such a time, but he chose to stay and share the difficulties with Yancheng, and he also took the initiative to join the Yancheng Academy at that time. Work for Yancheng.

It's just that Yancheng has changed too much now, and Taoist priests have changed from high-level to middle-level.

Even from the perspective of remuneration, he can do something for a prefect, but Chen Yinyang is not very interested in officialdom.Seeing that nothing happened in Yancheng now, he even thought of resigning from office and living in seclusion, but it was Jun Chengyu who persuaded him to stay.

"This method is very good. It is necessary for Gu to learn it. It just so happens that there is a serious shortage of prefects in various counties..."

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why these county magistrates wrote letters frantically.

In the past, before Jiang Hua became Lord Yan, more than 100 counties were directly under the administration of the prefect.Now, he has just become Lord Yan, no matter how he looks at it, he will appoint ten prefects next.

As for Jun Chengyu, he can definitely be in power and be responsible for the overall government affairs of Yancheng.

It is a troublesome thing to decide who is not to decide who!
Just when Jiang Hua was immersed in government affairs and was having headaches for various political affairs, Fu Chai also welcomed the first son of a great nobleman: Si, son of the Wei family.

This son didn't come here alone, he brought his classmates with him.After eating, drinking and communicating with Fu Chai for a few days, Young Master Si brought his classmates to Hanoi County on the edge of the Chao River.

"What do you all think?"

"Let's come here. Let me set a tone. We are not here to win. Of course, victory is also very important. However, the most important thing in this trip is to find opportunities for breakthrough. If one of us can take this opportunity to become the first generation Monarch, then even if you lose this time, you still win.”

"If two of us become the first monarchs this time, then this trip will be a win!"

"If two or more people take this opportunity to become the first monarch, then they should write a letter of thanks to the other side, and then donate some supplies and people to help them go further."

Sitting on the main seat, Young Master Si said with a smile.He didn't seem to be under any pressure at all, so sunny, giving people an extremely strong sense of affinity.

His classmate is also his confidant and friend, and he is also the future ruling Li Kui who he found for himself. He cupped his hands and said, "Next, let me talk about the current situation of Hanoi County and our future development strategy."

"The goal of this trip is Taiping County on the other side of the river. Taiping County was the first to start reforming, and it also received the most attention. The Taoist Taiping's strength is also the strongest below that of the first monarch. There is no doubt that this is a powerful opponent. .”

"In today's Taiping County, there are already six towns under the rule, and each town has a population of about [-]. It is said that there are six towns, but it is actually six small counties!"

"Let's talk about our Hanoi County. This county has a large area. Thanks to the past water transportation business, the population of Hanoi County was originally large."

"However, since savages can be sent directly to Yancheng to exchange for various supplies, a large number of savages have been arrested and sent directly to sell."

"I heard that the total population of Yancheng is about to reach 900 million now..."

"Although these savages are not recorded, according to my estimation, there were 300 million people in Hanoi County last year, but now, it is estimated that there are only 150 million people. The remaining 150 million people may have already reached the river by now." On the opposite side, maybe some are training in the big camp, and after half a month, they will become the population of the land of ten counties."

"Even if it is the remaining 150 million, there are still about 50 people. They have been secretly settled by the nobles. Wherever they belong, they have been regarded as their own wealth by the local nobles. They are secretly supported. Some nobles even Started to plunder the population at regular intervals, and raised them in captivity on time..."

"Working with such a group of idiots, how can we achieve hegemony? Even if we can't achieve hegemony, how can we achieve the great cause of unification?"

These stupid nobles, according to Li Kui's standards, one counts as one, and they all have to be killed!
Anyway, it is the nobles of Chao State, not the nobles of Wei State. Li Kui has long planned to carry out reforms and completely abolish the Shiqing Shilu system!
Stupid sir!
Stupid aristocrats!
Kill them all!

Not to mention, Li Kui really did reform like this in history, and the content of the reform was still fruitful.

However, Li Kui's success in history is inextricably linked to the support of the young master Si who sits on a high platform.

In this era, behind every outstanding minister, there is an unknown lord who supports him!
Behind Guanzi is Duke Huan of Qi, behind Shang Yang is Duke Xiao of Qin, behind Li Kui is Marquis Wen of Wei...

　In history, Li Kui advocated the abolition of the Shilu Shiqing system, and then he started to sell grain in bad years and harvest grain in good years, and he also rewarded meritorious ministers.

　　It can only be said that Chen Sheng's words were not uttered all at once, but the foundation was laid since the Warring States Period.
