Lord of Time!

Chapter 276: Emperor Jiujiu, the whole army marches north

"Your Majesty, please think twice. After this policy is implemented, the world will be in an uproar and everyone will be disloyal."

Tong Taiyuan knelt on the ground, his white beard and white hair trembling uncontrollably, and he cried out in pain.

Chen Ping sat high on the throne, resting his hands on his hands. He looked at the former head of the Cabinet of Academicians and now the Minister of Personnel in a funny way. He thought to himself, this old guy finally couldn't bear it anymore. But, don't worry, slowly. Come on, there's still a hurry later.

"In an uproar? Who would be in an uproar? Why, with words or knowledge? If everyone is alienated, who is alienated?"

He glanced at the officials in the palace and asked softly: "If anyone else thinks this policy is not good, please tell them."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of all the officials in the palace, both civil and military, changed drastically. They all had thousands of words in their hearts, but they did not dare to say a word.

Tang Wenzheng gritted his teeth, suddenly stepped out of the queue, bowed and said: "Your Majesty's move is the first of its kind in thousands of years...

Since ancient times, all dynasties have always been prosperous and prosperous when the country was founded. The national destiny only lasted a few hundred years, but it immediately prospered and declined. This was due to rampant corruption, unclear governance, and repeated prohibitions...

Once the ninth-grade 36th level salary is released, it means that the Holy Emperor is alive, all people live in peace, and their blessings last forever. "

Just as the ministers in the palace were looking at Tang Wenzheng with strange, even contemptuous eyes, and could no longer control their superficial expressions, Tang Wenzheng changed his voice and said with a smile: "Human nature is precious and private, even if it is the ninth grade 36 How can we supervise the world and intimidate all kinds of people from all over the world if we clearly define the incomes of officials at all levels and the common people?"

After hearing this, everyone understood that Tang Wenzheng was worthy of being the leader of the thirteen aristocratic families. Although he had given away a huge amount of wealth after surrendering, he did not necessarily have to retreat to the end and destroy the foundation of his family. .

The number of officials in the palace is now reduced by half compared to when they were away.

Most of the people left behind are just some guys who look a little good-looking.

But no matter how good-looking they are, these officials from aristocratic families and business schools are born to eat human flesh and drink human blood. From birth to growing up, they will naturally have their own stance. They may surrender, but they will never I will sincerely support some political strategies that dig into the fundamentals.

Just like Chen Ping's "nine-level 36" salary proposed by Fengyuan Tu, and those who are greedy for more than ten taels of silver, they will be dismissed from office, punished with hard labor, and repair bridges and roads. Depending on the seriousness of the case, the punishment Five to ten years, even decades to a lifetime of hard labor.

As soon as this strategy came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the officials.

They never expected that the first knife would be swung at their heads.

If I had known this, why would I have surrendered? It would still be decent to fight directly.

Can't fight?
let it go
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't. Once this policy is implemented, there will be no peace in the world."

"Your Majesty, please do not insist on going your own way. If this continues, all living beings in the world will have no intention of progress, and will easily become lazy and perfunctory. The national power will be greatly reduced. If a foreign invasion occurs, it will be defeated thousands of miles away, the army and the people will be exhausted, and the consequences will be far-reaching."

Your Majesty, this must never happen..."

Dozens of words of admonishment sounded.

These people have probably figured out Chen Ping's temperament at this time. As long as they don't do anything wrong, there is no need to worry too much about minor verbal offenses.

It's one thing to be brave or not, but this Emperor Taihe is just like his title. When he is not killing people, he has a peaceful and peaceful temperament.

Feng Yuantu listened on the side without interrupting, but with a slight smile on his lips.

Sometimes, he always felt that His Majesty's words and deeds seemed to be playing the piano randomly, thinking about things that no one had thought of before. Some of his ideas were simply unimaginable, and there was absolutely no trace of success in advance.

However, he was able to do it.

In hindsight, it worked out pretty well.

Just like when he shared his family with a young man, Feng Yuantu thought that the game was over now, and he had offended all the aristocratic and wealthy families in the world, making him his enemy all over the world.

Even if the world is taken down, it will not be managed well and no one will respond at all.

How can we manage the world well if we expect those mud-legged people who cannot read a few Chinese characters to manage the world?

Watch again after a while.

Weird.

He actually carried it out.

Those wealthy families were more afraid of death than they imagined, and their resistance was not as fierce as they imagined.

When the Daewoo Dynasty's army went around and killed some of the people who started making troubles, most people could only hide their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts.

As for whether a mud-legged man can be an official if he is a good steward?

That's a good question.

Feng Yuantu has seen some stupid people who can't recognize a single Chinese character and can't count numbers with ten fingers. Once they become officials, they immediately burst out with great enthusiasm and manage some things in an orderly manner.

It's easy to handle even if you don't know how to read. There are a lot of poor scholars, so just recruit them to help.

No matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter if you can't even write a document. You can draw a picture to convey it, or convey it by mouth.

In addition, grain and salt are controlled and no private sales are allowed. They are all purchased by the government and then distributed according to population.

Each person is given a few small pieces of paper each month and a fixed amount of rations. Even if you have a treasure trove of gold and silver at home, you cannot buy an extra pound of coarse grains.

This move almost drove some wealthy families to death.

They have been wearing silk clothes since they were born, and their rich families have the smell of meat. How can they live in such embarrassment?
As a result, another vigorous rebellion took place in all prefectures and counties across the country.

This time, not many people participated.

At the beginning of Fengyuan Tu, I was a little confused. It was only later that I figured out the taste.

Chen Ping's strategy of monopolizing purchases and sales, and allocating rations according to head count, may seem extremely vicious to some people, but to the people who are as big as the ocean, it is a blessing to survive.

In the last years of the Great Li, natural disasters were frequent, including snowstorms, droughts, locusts, floods, landslides, and ground cracks...

As soon as it appeared, it affected several states and displaced millions of people.

Moreover, this kind of disaster has become more and more intensive in recent years, and its duration has become longer and longer, which has completely exhausted Da Li Tianxia's luck.

It’s not that there’s no food.

When the weather was good a few years ago, the world's granaries and wealthy merchants still had enough food for disaster relief. It might be a bit difficult to spread it out evenly and feed everyone in the world, but to feed them, it would not be a problem. What a difficult thing.

But then again.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to give up good wealth...

In years of great calamity, there are many places to make a fortune. Those who donate their wealth to help the world are as rare as a feather, and it is difficult to see even one.

I won't do anything to benefit the world by plucking a hair.

This is generally the idea.

Therefore, those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from flood will die from waterlogging.

The former is really mortal.

The latter was overjoyed.

Under such a situation, Chen Ping discovered that the speed at which his fortune was gathering in his new dynasty was actually not very fast. After thinking about it carefully, he soon understood.

"This is because the war subsided too quickly. In the battle to destroy the country, the enemy's leader was directly beheaded, and the soldiers and civilians were not lost at all."

"From a population perspective, it saved people's lives the most, but from a dynasty's perspective, this is actually not a good thing."

He received a lot of information in his previous life, and his mind was not very sharp at that time, so he did not think carefully about some things.

Now I am successful in my practice.

Some knowledge, naturally, suddenly understand the true meaning.

Why does every dynasty usher in a prosperous age immediately after the change of dynasty?

Why, after hundreds of years, the world will be in chaos again.

In essence, it means that productivity cannot keep up.

We can't afford to feed so many people.

What manifests itself is land annexation, the law of the jungle and the strong, rampant corruption, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide.

Just as Tang Wenzheng said.

Human nature is precious.

It is in human nature to want to live a good life.That is the idea of ​​pursuing happiness.

Whether rich or poor, this is true.

Then.

What is a good life, even, what is happiness.

In fact, it is compared.

I can eat meat, but you can only eat chaff. I am happier than you.

I have ten thousand a month and you have three thousand a month. I am happier than you.

I have paper when I go to the toilet, but you don’t have paper. I am happier than you.

I lie down and enjoy it, while you work hard like an ox or a horse, never stopping day after day. I am happier than you.

This is what ordinary people think of as a good day.

Of course, there are some people who don't think so and won't compare. However, even if there are such people, unless their enthusiasm has been wiped out by life and out of helplessness, they are one in a million. They are saints and born moral gentlemen.

In this case, as long as the constraints of the system are lost and everyone is allowed to unleash the beast in their hearts, the world will naturally collapse.

"Essentially, it is a lack of productivity, which cannot allow everyone to live a good life with no worries about food and clothing. This is especially true in years of disaster. People's desires are endless, and everyone wants to make their lives better and better. Then, we can only squeeze others and let others die?" Therefore, Chen Ping deeply understood that due to his own reasons, this dynasty change had preserved too much population vitality and damaged the country's destiny.

We can’t feed so many people anymore, what should we do?
According to the concept of humanity, it is to let most people die, save a small number of people, and let them live a better life.

This is the real reason why the founding of a country in every dynasty must lead to prosperity.

When the war started, the population was almost wiped out. There were only a few people left, and the accumulation from the previous dynasty was enough to keep them fat.

A superior person can live a good life, and a subordinate person can share a mouthful of soup without starving to death.

This is the prosperous age.

But if we do it according to the concept of heaven, it will be different. If we bring everyone to the same starting line, it will not make me fat, and it will not starve you to death.

Everyone drank porridge and diarrhea and ate bran-thick vegetables to tide over the difficulties together.

If there is no gap, there will be no comparison. No one is happy, so everyone is happy...

All that needs to be done next is to increase productivity and make supplies abundant until there is no shortage of flowers.

As for how to increase productivity?

This is a difficult problem.

Chen Ping had many ways to improve food crops in his memory, but it was a bit difficult for him to do it alone.

The next step is to gather the wise people in the world, especially experienced farmers and craftsmen, to copy bits and pieces of precious knowledge in their own memories.

Presumably it won't be long before, even if natural disasters persist, there will still be a bumper harvest.

Chen Ping is confident about this.

Of course, the biggest resistance at present is not the improvement of productivity, but the resistance of people's hearts brought about by the transformation of the system.

Don't be afraid, the swords and guns in your hands are sharp enough, and you have enough cronies. As long as you can't create death, you will create it in death.

After all the people who resisted went to farm, build roads and dig ditches, this strategy was implemented.

……

Thinking about some things that happened in the past few months, Feng Yuantu sighed secretly in his heart. Until now, he still couldn't believe it.

Can you believe that as His Majesty the Emperor, Chen Ping has even set his own salary.

Even the emperor is paid, can you believe it?

It's only 99 taels of silver.

Now people are going crazy...

The first guy in history to be called the 99 Liang Emperor, therefore appeared in the mouths of some mud-legged people, and also appeared in the ridicule of civil servants, military generals, and hermit masters.

But no matter what, as long as anyone mentions 99 taels, they have to say "convinced".

When the emperor treats him like this, what else can Fengyuan Tu say?

All we can do is to devote ourselves to death and die.

He turned to look at Tang Wenzheng and said with a smile: "Wen Zhenggong doesn't know something. It is actually not difficult to monitor all kinds of people in the world. Please look at the sky mirror and observe the sky and the earth. There is nothing to hide."

As he spoke, Feng Yuantu bowed to Ji Mingyue.

The little girl walked down the Dan steps from Chen Ping, smiled, stretched out her hand, and a mirror light appeared in the hall, rippling like water waves, and gradually stabilized, and the subtitles brushed across the light screen...

Only the handwriting displayed above is visible.

[Tang Wenzheng, the thirteenth grandson of Tang Yongyuan of the Tang family in Xilin, ranked fifth by direct lineage, nicknamed Tang Wuer, was smart when he was young, had a photographic memory, and was deeply loved by his father and ancestors...

When I was 12 years old, I had my first love affair with my maid Qiaoer, but my aunt caught me and she was so furious that I ordered her to kill my maid Qiaoer with a cane...

In the third year of Yuanheng's reign, I was closed to study books. I accidentally obtained the secret manual of Xuanzhao from Shilin's Miscellaneous Notes. I was so excited that I practiced according to the law...]
"Stop, stop, stop, I am guilty, Wei Chen is guilty. Our Tang family fully supports the new deal and will never stand in the way. Wei Chen will change his ways, devote himself to the king's affairs, and treat the people well..."

Ji Mingyue glanced at Chen Ping, received the signal, waved her hand, and the mirror light disappeared in mid-air.

"Who else wants to take a look at their life, or in other words, wants to try to hide the truth from the Tian Guan Bao Mirror. The Situ family used this mirror to establish the famous list, but it was overkill.

In fact, the most useful place for this mirror is to reward good and punish evil, and to regulate the world. "

Seeing Ji Mingyue's gaze, the civil servants and generals in the palace quickly lowered their heads.

She was afraid that this girl would make her the target of testing the precious mirror.

In this world, there is no one who is selfish and who has not done a few shady things.

Once the past is exposed, how can you see people without being able to die on the spot?

Tang Wenzheng was nowhere to be seen. This Wen Zhenggong was already as red as a monkey's butt, and he didn't dare to raise his head to see anyone.

"It seems that everyone agrees with the law that if you greedy ten taels of silver, you will be punished... Very good, they are all public-minded. In this way, if everyone is united and the seas and rivers are clear, why worry about the people not being rich and the country not being strong? "

Chen Ping laughed.

Acts of God are natural disasters.

As long as there are no man-made disasters, everyone tightens their belts and suffers, the days will pass.

As long as people don't starve to death, and tens of millions of people in various places are mobilized, and there is a bumper harvest of food and abundant materials, then the treatment can be improved.

Not for now.

Retaining these civil servants and generals who came from aristocratic families was actually a temporary measure.

The world is so big and the territory is so vast, I can't do everything myself, I have to ask for help.

However, in this era, the knowledgeable "talents" basically come from aristocratic families. Even the poor children who have studied and traveled are actually mostly from these forces.

Either they have been cultivated by others, or they have been tripped by some people's kindness. There are very few truly wild scholars.

Without these scholars, there would not be many people who could understand even the issued orders, let alone the government orders.

Those poor people can manage some specific things, but it is not feasible if they are expected to manage a prefecture and a county and be responsible for macro-control.

If you expect someone who has never had contact with a few taels of silver in his life to take charge of a county's finances, distribute salaries, and determine rewards and punishments, isn't that making things difficult?

Therefore, even if you know that these people's buttocks are all crooked, you still have to use them.

However, as he implemented one new policy after another, no matter how crooked his butt was, he had to sit up straight.

You will be given fifty kilograms of rice every month. If you have the ability, how many people can you feed? Will you starve to death?

"Ha ha……"

Chen Ping laughed and waved away.

……

"Can it really increase your luck?"

Chen Ping fell into deep thought.

It seemed that a certain pattern had been followed. Chen Ping discovered that as the new policies were implemented one by one, although the people in the world were not living a very good life, within the scope of his family's control, their fortunes were rising. Like a pot of hot water being boiled, this luck gradually transformed into a dragon, from white to red, from red to green...

Flow it into the mosaic dragon seal and refine it into dragon essence mana. Seeing that the sixth level of Shenwu is already in sight.

"So fast, half a year, only half a year has passed, it is almost as good as the nearly ten years of luck when the Ji family controlled the Dali Dynasty. What kind of mechanism is at work here?"

Chen Ping had a vague judgment.

It should be the reason for "countless living people".

"So, the next step is to ban martial arts?"

Chen Ping was hesitant in his heart. He copied the scene from the Dharma Ending Age, as if there was great terror in it.

He didn't know whether this path was right or wrong, so he could only try it first.

However, one thing is at least true.

The people are happy, and their morale must have greatly increased. Seeing that the sixth breakthrough is imminent, they can start to overthrow the Northern Zhou Dynasty forces.

After the breakthrough, Long Yuan's mana, body and soul essence can be increased by another [-]%.

The art of "Flower in the Mirror, Water and Moon" has also been practiced to the level of mastery...

Basically, it is enough to resist the Black Lotus Sect's power to influence people's hearts and drive negative emotions.

However, it is still a bit unsightly to rush into the other party's lair.

Might as well lure the snake out of its hole.

Chen Ping pondered for a while and summoned Ji Mingyue: "Send the order, the time has come. All the Shenwu Realm and Heyi Realm rushed to the Xiaoshan area. Their troops marched five hundred miles and approached Dragon City.

Also, tell Zhuo Yunfei that this time, let him let go and let me see what he is capable of. "

"Yes, Brother Qi, they can't wait for a long time."

Xiao Mingyue happily agreed, her body swayed, the mirror light flashed slightly, and she was already far away.
