After hearing Liu Xin talking about himself, Liu Ye stood up and knelt in front of Liu Xin.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Liu Ye said with his head on the ground.

"Liu Cabinet, where is the crime?" Liu Xin asked. No one could hear the emotion in Liu Xin's words.

"I favored the Sun family, Cao family and other chambers of commerce and fought for their interests. I failed to be fair and equitable!" Liu Ye said.

"Haha! I wanted to hear this for seventeen years, but I didn't want you to say it today. You think you have not been fair, but those are insignificant in my opinion. You think that as a cabinet minister, you can give your loved ones

It's not too much for a friend to seek some benefits, but do you know why I suppress the family?" Liu Xin asked.

No one knew that Liu Xin was very angry. Liu Xin rarely got angry in so many years. It can be seen that what Liu Ye did made Liu Xin very dissatisfied. Everyone knew that Liu Ye would not easily get through this hurdle.

"Your Majesty believes that the aristocratic family has taken power and taken away too many resources in the world and the benefits of ordinary people." Liu Ye said calmly.

"And you are above Gaotang, but you are fighting for power and profit for the Chamber of Commerce, those big families that used to exploit the people. If I don't come back, will I, the great man, enter the era of warlords again?" There was already a trace of Liu Xin's words in his words.

With murderous intent, no one else present dared to speak out.

"Since your Majesty said so, I will risk my life to say a few more words today. Your Majesty is not wrong in loving the people, but aristocratic families are also common people. Why does your Majesty have to have trouble with the aristocratic family?

Nowadays, most of the many chambers of commerce in Dahan are supported by former aristocratic families. The development of Dahan cannot be separated from the chamber of commerce. If the chamber of commerce is strong, Dahan will be strong. Isn’t it what our cabinet should do to support the development of chambers of commerce?" Liu Ye said with a righteous air.

Others were sweating for him.

"Liu Ye, you are a capable person. You are the best person in the cabinet. This is your advantage. However, your understanding of country and family is completely insufficient. Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, you would have been famous in the world.

Minister, right now you are the guilty minister of the Han Empire." Liu Xin said.

Liu Ye remained silent, obviously dissatisfied with what Liu Xin said. Some of the things he did were within his rights and were not considered violations of any laws at all. However, as a cabinet member, some of his words outside could seriously affect the behavior and choices of officials.

.

"You don't accept it, right? It just so happens that everyone is here today, so I will explain to everyone why the aristocratic family cannot survive and why I have to suppress the aristocratic family.

Since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, our country has been governed by families. It has been two thousand years. However, with the development of time, the population of China increased greatly during the Spring and Autumn Period. Ruling the country by families can no longer meet the needs of society. Constant conflicts between countries have begun.

During the reform, any king who delegates power to other aristocratic families in the country will have a rapid increase in national strength, which is why it is said that the aristocratic families and the king will rule the world together." Liu Xin said this, no one expected it, but Huaxia Xiangxiang is indeed the case.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family decentralized power and eventually became stronger.

"In the past, there were few people, poor cultural background, and backward information exchange. It was difficult to highlight conflicts. A certain powerful person had exclusive access to advanced technology and resources and forcibly controlled others. But when he had too many people under his command, he needed help from others.

."

Everyone listen carefully, this is indeed the truth. All emperors give power to their officials. What does this have to do with aristocratic families!

"In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen carried out a series of reforms, which made the strength of the Han Dynasty skyrocket. Everyone knows the content of Emperor Wen's reforms. In fact, they took back some interests from the aristocratic families, and threw away some of them in order to unite the interests of the royal family. This also contributed to the later development of the Han Dynasty.

The big man planted the seeds of the problem.

By the time of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had reached a new level in terms of culture, science and technology, and the royal family's management of the world had to be improved. However, the royal family was weak at that time. Instead of giving benefits to the people of the world, it allowed the aristocratic families to exploit them together.

Common people, finally there will be chaos among heroes.

History tells us that in social development, the power structure must be from the bottom up, centered on the common people at the bottom, and make up for the stratification of rights from the common people to the emperor according to social needs, so that this dynasty will become stronger and stronger.

Our Han Dynasty has developed rapidly over the years. You say it is the Chamber of Commerce and the aristocratic families, but I say not. The aristocratic families do not want to do business, and there are many people who do business. There is no threshold for doing business. Nowadays, most of the people in our Han Dynasty are literate, so why can't they do business and make money?"

Liu Xin looked at Liu Ye and asked.

"People don't have much money, so they can't shoulder the logistics and transportation of our big country. Everything requires capital." Liu Ye said, but his tone was not as firm as before.

"Capital? This is the simplest. Aristocratic families can hire people, but the people can't do it themselves? They don't have much funds to raise money. The income of our Han people is getting higher and higher. If a town forms a chamber of commerce based on its own specialties, then

The scale should not be small, one county after another!" Liu Xin asked.

Liu Ye frowned and said nothing on Sunday. If the people have all the cultural knowledge, the family will only have the advantage of capital, and the chamber of commerce has strong capital, which is incomparable with the local government.

"To make money for aristocratic families, what do they do when they have more money? How much money can they use for food and drink? Instead of continuing to use money to make money, when their money is so much that it is just a number, they must want to gain power.

When most people have more money, they buy big and good things to improve their lives, and the trade of Han Dynasty will increase, tax revenue will increase, and national strength will increase." Liu Xin said, everyone here nodded, as long as

As long as the aristocratic family doesn't interfere with power, everything will be fine, but if it interferes with power, it will be harmful to the big man.

"Therefore, as the population of our Han Empire increases, we must enrich the management level and establish various laws and regulations so that more people in our Han Empire can be under restraint, including me.

If I hold Liu Aiqing's idea and let aristocratic families and capable ministers help me manage the world, I only need to manage the ministers well. The officials will not say whether the people are good or bad. They cannot see more real things. The people can only

I was oppressed, but I acted like a comfortable emperor, gave power to the middle-level people and let them do whatever they want, and in the end!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The power of the aristocratic family is getting bigger and bigger, and the people who rule the area do not know that there is a court. The aristocratic family fights for power, and everything that goes wrong can be blamed on the emperor. In the end, the suffering is

People, the emperor has no choice but to look at the officials below, is that how it should be?" Liu Xin looked at Liu Ye and asked.

"I... didn't think so much, I'm ignorant!" Liu Ye didn't have any excuses, he lowered his head and confessed.

"What about you! What you have done is not evil, but it has caused chaos in the official circles of many states in the south. You will definitely not be able to stay in the cabinet. You will be suppressed and put in jail first. You will not be convicted until the officials in Jiaozhou and Yangzhou have completed their examination.

." After Liu Xin finished speaking, the two guards escorted Liu Ye down.

Liu Xin's punishment for Liu Ye was not too serious, but it was enough to let everyone see Liu Xin's attitude. No matter how powerful the cabinet power was, it was given by Liu Xin. This Han Empire soldier Liu Xin, he is the master of this country.

.

There were two other people in the cabinet who made mistakes in the official year-end review and local financial summary. They worked with Liu Ye to facilitate the Family Chamber of Commerce. The problem was smaller than Liu Ye. Liu Xin asked him to go home and think for himself.

If something goes wrong, go to him again.

Later, Liu Xin talked to the cabinet members about the major armies and divine generals of the Han Dynasty. These problems were not a problem with Liu Xin, but it was not easy to find a once and for all solution to prevent such things from happening again in the future.

.

Liu Xin can deal with all the divine generals at will, but the entire Han Dynasty is composed of all walks of life. The divine generals are the top combat power of the Han Dynasty, so it is normal for Liu Xin to favor them.

The power of the cabinet cannot be tested by anyone. All officials who disobey the orders of the cabinet must be punished. Even if they are gods and generals who exist above the mortal realm and refuse the orders of the cabinet, they are going against the entire Han Dynasty. Liu Xin first made it clear that the Han Empire

Criteria and bottom lines.

"You have issued an order to all counties in the 43 states. Before the end of this year, all officials who have violated our laws and regulations, committed corruption, perverted the law and abused their power will go to the state pastoral office to accept their crimes. The cabinet will deal with them leniently.

If you do not surrender before the first day of the first month of next year and are found out, then everything will be dealt with severely," Liu Xin said.

In this way, Liu Xin was still unwilling to let go of the officials who had disobeyed the court's orders in the past eight years. His doing so was likely to cause internal turmoil in the Han Dynasty. It was difficult to issue court orders in the past eight years, and many people would be involved if investigated.

If you really ask questions, half of the officials may be at fault.

"Yes, Your Majesty! There are now a lot of chambers of commerce in Yangzhou and Jiaozhou areas, and the development speed there is faster than that in the northwest of the Han Dynasty. Many governments have sold a lot of land to chambers of commerce. This prosperity minister feels that there is a big crisis, but he doesn't know how.

Deal with it!" Zhuge Liang said.

"The southern region is developing rapidly. Who says it must be the Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber of Commerce will investigate violations and officials will deal with problems. There is nothing to consider.

It is not wrong to be afraid of dragging down the economy of the Han Dynasty and going down the wrong path. The people of Yangzhou are living better and better because of the development of the Chamber of Commerce there. However, the fundamentals of the country must not be changed. Anyone who dares to take that step will be punished.

It is said that the coastal areas develop rapidly, but the tax revenue along the coastal areas is not much higher than that of the inland states. This is very abnormal. The cabinet issued an order to the states, counties and counties that all land in the Han Empire belonged to the emperor, and the people only had the right to use it, but there was no

Right of disposal.

I ordered the government at all levels in the Han Dynasty to only lease land to the Chamber of Commerce for a maximum of forty years, including housing construction." Liu Xin said without thinking.

Everyone did not expect that Liu Xin would be so determined, and the development of the Chamber of Commerce would inevitably be restricted. Liu Xin already had an account of Dahan's development in his heart. No matter what problem he encountered, he could always tell the solution, and it was a reasonable solution.

Method, this may be the reason why Liu Xin was able to subdue all the officials and generals!

"Another thing is that the Dahan Chamber of Commerce has established large bases in the Luzon Islands, the Kingdom of Java, and even the Australian mainland in recent years. They buy equipment from Dahan to build factories there, and then transport it back to Dahan to earn profits.

Having avoided a lot of factory taxes, should we deal with these chambers of commerce?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Regarding the huge commercial and trade rules and systems, even the smartest Zhuge Liang sometimes hesitates to pay attention. Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can Liu Xin know what to do. He saw that other people in the cabinet were serious.

Looking at herself, wondering how she would solve this problem, Liu Xin just thought for a breath before speaking.

"This problem is actually not difficult. Chambers of commerce pursue profits. It is inevitable for them to take risks in order to obtain more profits. It is not necessarily how serious the crime is. However, this matter has indeed had a great impact on our Han court. We can divide it into six steps.

to solve this problem.

First, strengthen customs inspections, restrict some goods entering Dahan Port, or impose too high tariffs on some goods. When the tariffs reach a certain level, the chamber of commerce will feel that there is no profit from setting up overseas bases, and they will inevitably give up.

Second, intensify the preliminary investigation of smuggling and establish a credit assessment system for chambers of commerce in the Han Empire. If any chamber of commerce violates court regulations and harms the interests of the Han Dynasty, its credit rating will be lowered. Chambers of commerce with different credit ratings will have different bank loan amounts.

The interest rates are different. To support the development of the Patriotic Chamber of Commerce, the Cabinet will discuss this with the Ministry of Commerce.

Third, establish the Dahan Coastal Patrol Team to protect the offshore security of our Dahan Chamber of Commerce while combating smuggling, check the situation of the islands in the Dahan offshore, and report to the navy when encountering island strongholds and let the navy handle it." Liu Xin said here, everyone knows a lot.

The life of the Chamber of Commerce is going to be difficult. Some Chamber of Commerce fleets are powerful and sometimes dare to confront the Han Navy. Now whoever wants to act recklessly overseas will be recognized as a pirate. If the Han Dynasty takes it seriously, who among them can withstand it.

"The fourth point is to severely punish chambers of commerce that collude with pirates. Once discovered, all the assets of the chamber of commerce will be confiscated and all senior officials of the chamber of commerce will be responsible for the disposal. Now the cabinet is preparing to come up with a set of bills. Early next year, I hope that Dahan will supplement the law in this regard.

Done.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fifth point, the Navy has increased inspections at various trade points on the sea, and all passing fleets have their credit ratings checked. If the credit rating is not enough, large ships exceeding the regulations will be opened, and all ships will be impounded.

The goods were seized and the person in charge of the chamber of commerce was questioned.

Sixth, in order to protect the overseas interests of our Dahan Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Military Affairs listed the number of strongholds that need to be built overseas, and cooperated with the Qilin Chamber of Commerce to establish exploration points on major islands and uninhabited continents around the world, including the cold Arctic and Antarctic regions.

Only by increasing our exploration of the world can we better understand our world and make good use of our world. There has been a problem with the cabinet in the past few years. The problem lies in the lack of people who can identify the problem. This is a serious dereliction of duty on your part.

When I established the Political and Legal Yuan, I required that people from all walks of life in all parts of the country must have it. They are elected by the grassroots people and can best see the problems that exist in society.

In the past few years, the Political and Legal Yuan has been ineffective. The main reason is that your cabinet rarely interferes with it. Everyone just gets a little subsidy of their own and holds a formal meeting every year and that's it.

You may say that most of these people only speak to the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no problem with listening. How many people are there in the Dahan Political and Legal Yuan? Two hundred and seventy thousand, all from the Chamber of Commerce? If that happens, the cabinet will be dissolved, and the business association will be allowed to manage Dahan.

Wouldn't an empire be better?

Only by listening carefully to the needs of the people at the bottom can you understand where your current problems lie. When you stand in this government affairs office and think about overseas affairs, the solutions you come up with are all wrong. Exercise your rights! I am here for you.
