13.36 Temporary ending, the general trend of the world

Receive the chaotic [-] troops, mobilize manpower from Jinling to fill the vacant vacancies of the imperial court, mobilize food and grass to relieve the victims, rectify law and order and restore order in the capital, and most importantly, completely wipe out the main force of slavery who fled. The time has entered October.

Imperial Palace, the front hall of Fengzao Palace.

"Master Hou, this is an overview of the recent situation, you." Han Chu, former Minister of the Ministry of War and current civil servant representative of the current dynasty, respectfully placed a stack of materials on the table in front of Wei Xu.

"Let's just say it, I don't have time to read it now." Rubbing his temples, Wei Xu waved his hand to dispel the confusion in his mind, and said, "Let's talk about the important ones, and you can arrange some small things."

"The original new army in the capital has been sorted out, and most of the unqualified ones have been paid severance pay and dismissed. At present, only less than 4 people have been retained, and they will stay in the Miyun camp for unified training.

Your Majesty, well, Yongzheng’s purge almost emptied the entire Wuxun side, except for a few fish that slipped through the net, such as Chen Ruiwen, Shui Mo, Mu Xian who are currently on the front line of Wusheng Pass, and Liu Dong, Niu Ben, and Han Qi who are working outside. , Chen Yejun and others, all the well-known Wu Xun lineage in the capital were killed.

Therefore, although there are a large number of troops, they did not encounter much trouble in the process of receiving and sorting out, and the remaining highest positions in each department are only at the level of commander and envoy, and they are very cooperative in this regard.

In order to enrich the backbone of this army, according to the list given by Lord Hou, the lower officials recruited some people from the fallen nobles in the capital to serve as military posts, and integrated the elites drawn from the Jiangnan Army. "Han Chu said respectfully.

"Is it for the sake of the money?" Wei Xu shook his head helplessly, feeling helpless against the feudal army's atmosphere of "soldiers get paid and carry guns to eat food". Why bother raising your head and making trouble?"

"Master Hou, the affairs of the imperial court are complicated now. Although there are many people to supplement them, they are still too few in general, resulting in a backlog of many things." Han Chu wisely avoided the topic, "There are still many people in the capital. A young Jinshi who is poorly conferred is not as good as."

"No need." Wei Xu never thought of using these so-called "talents" who were completely cultivated under the imperial examination system. "These days, you have also used a lot of people transferred by the Marquis. How do you feel?"

"All of them are talented (prefect) of thousands of miles away." Han Chu said with admiration, "I don't know where the Lord Hou got so many young talents, but I have to say that when they deal with various affairs It’s really handy.”

"This Marquis trained himself in Jinling." Han Chu almost choked to death with one sentence, "The next batch of about a thousand people of the same type will be added soon, and only half of them will be used to replace the vacant quota of the imperial court, and the other half will be It’s post-workout preparation for devolution.”

"." Han Chu didn't know how to answer the question at all, and turned to another topic after a while, "Master Hou, this anti-corruption cleanup has lasted for nearly a month. Most of the court officials are involved, and a few are not involved. They were also temporarily dismissed for inspection.

Now that the entire capital is in panic, everyone must have respected Lord Hou. For the stability of the world, can it be announced that it is over and some personnel will be restored to their posts at the same time? "

"I'm not going to use them again." Seeing that Han Chu's expression suddenly changed and he was about to speak, Wei Xu waved his hand to signal him to shut up, "Do you really know how much money I got out of this cleanup?
5000 million taels!Mr. Han, this is just cleaning up less than half of the civil servants in the capital. I haven’t moved on Wu Xun’s side. If they are all cleaned up, do you know how many there will be? "

"Master Hou!" Han Chu couldn't hold on any longer, and shouted out in disbelief, "You"

"Master Han, let's have a cup of tea." Xu Qingyan came from the inner room, carrying a tea tray himself, and put two cups of tea in front of the two of them, "No matter how big it is, you must take care of your health."

"Thank you." Han Chu didn't care to speak, and quickly took the tea bowl with both hands, but got stuck on the address.

"Call your empress." Wei Xu made his attitude clear. In feudal society, anyone who was a concubine or above could call her empress, and it was not exclusive to empresses.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Han Chu's face brightened, knowing that this meant that Wei Xu was about to proclaim himself emperor, "Your Majesty has great ambitions, humble ministers and honors, but this world has been passed down from ancient times, and you need to know that 'the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world' 'ah!"

"It is true that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but my understanding of 'people's hearts' is different from yours." Wei Xu smiled and said, "You can choose my side, I must have heard it when you were in Jiangnan. After the father-in-law's introduction, right?
Since you have seen the wealth in Jiangnan, you should also be able to see what is different between it and other places?In other words, without the so-called "people" in your mouth, have you found that development there is better and the people are getting richer? "This" Han Chu didn't know how to reply at all, or with his way of thinking, he didn't understand why. Not only him, Lin Ruhai had been in Jiangnan for many years, but in fact, he could only be said to have just started to understand Wei Xu's policies.

"The world is so big that it is more than ten thousand miles away, and the number of people has exceeded [-] million." Wei Xu could only give him a simple science, "What you call 'people's heart' actually only includes 'officials and people', or the power of the gentry .

Ninety-ninety percent of the people in this world are excluded from the imperial court by you. Is it normal? "

"Your Majesty will rule the world in the future and add power to the world." Seeing that he couldn't understand Wei Xu's way of thinking at all, Han Chu decided to change his direction, "Since ancient times, the world has been ruled by the royal family and the gentry.

Although it is said that the Hunjun has been killed now, it has not changed much the general situation of the world. Everywhere is either in chaos, or it will be the same as before, if Lord Hou makes a big move."

"Han Aiqing, there is one thing you may not know. The so-called 'White Lotus Sacred Army' in Jiangnan has always belonged to Lord Hou." The queen smiled gently, and said the fact that Han Chu could not fully understand, "Where did you go early?" I just tried it, Lord Hou’s strategy works, and it works well.”

"This..." Han Chu's face changed suddenly, and even his voice was trembling, "Master Hou, you reuse women, kill gentry, officials and people, and buy the hearts of ordinary people. This is completely a way to bring disaster!"

"Master Han might as well go back and think about it first. If we can figure it out, let's talk about the next thing." Wei Xu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he can leave.

Han Chu: .
"How is Lord Hou going to solve the problem Mr. Han just mentioned?" Looking at the back of Han Chu who had already left and was a little staggering, the queen was also very confused. After all, most of the so-called "government affairs" were hers. in processing.

In other words, she is actually a beneficiary of the feudal political system, and can even be said to be one of the highest beneficiaries. In a sense, she is actually the real and unnamed emperor of the Dashun Dynasty. Some disgusted.

"I have already prepared enough manpower and enough troops to ensure that all places in the country can send county-level leaders. I just want to be the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and county magistrate, plus the supervisory censor and the garrison academy. It is estimated that it will take another three to five years to cover Weiquan.

The officials dispatched from each place have corresponding armed forces, and the main force composed of elite field troops ensures that the main force reaches the government level. Anyone who has the courage to disobey, whether it is the original officials or the so-called gentry, will go It's good to die.

This method is definitely not going to be smooth sailing, and it is even possible that there will be a lot of losses, but as long as it is carried out firmly, the world will be ruled in at most five years. " Wei Xu said lightly.

"." The queen was so blocked that she didn't know what to say. It took a long time before she managed to say, "Master Hou, have you ever thought about how it will be evaluated in the history books a hundred years from now?"

"When the whole world is sorted out and stabilized according to my requirements, I plan to promote education for all, so that all people can read and read." Wei Xu smiled, and once again resorted to the big killer, "When the time comes, the so-called 'history books' , I'd like to see what the residue of those big turbans can write."

"Master Hou, do you mean that even ordinary people can read and write?" Before the queen could speak, Zhiqiu asked in a trembling voice. After all, she was born at the bottom.

"It is impossible to do it completely. It will take at least 20 to [-] years to get school-age children and teenagers into education. If we want the whole world to be free of illiteracy, it may take two to three generations." Wei Xu smiled. Said.

In real history, the Red China implemented compulsory education in an all-round way, but it was not possible to enroll all school-age children until the end of the 80s. It is already a matter of the 21st century that there is basically no illiteracy in the whole country.

"But, where are there so many teachers in this world?" The Queen finally came up with a reason to retort, "And all the people who can read and read in the world today are scholars, you want to kick them out, and you can still count on them to be honest and obedient. ?”

"Just kill a few more batches." Wei Xu snorted coldly with disdain, "and there are many scholars, but very few of them really get up, and most of them are poor at the bottom. Seeking refuge, and, have you heard of 'Normal School'?"

Empress and Zhiqiu:
