West Garden, Qinzheng Hall.

After Jia Qiang sat down on the imperial throne, he dismissed all officials and then smiled with Lin Ruhai: "Sir, the national affairs are heavy, and the natural disasters and the disasters of the border and the people have caused the common people to suffer for a long time. Although these two years have been considered as good weather, the people are still suffering too much. Officials at all levels do not care less. The disciples' intentions are that this ceremony of ascending the throne is simpler and simpler. I didn't expect a ceremony to make all officials devoted themselves and loyal..."

Lin Ruhai was already a little used to Jia Qiang's words that deviated from officialdom rules, but he still advised: "Your name is just right, and you can speak according to your words."

Lu Jia was most enthusiastic about this. As soon as Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he said in a true voice: "Although the emperor cared for all the people and cherished all the officials, he should also be sympathetic to all the people and the officials' respect and love for the king and father!"

Li Su was strong and honest by nature. When he heard Lu Jia's words, he almost couldn't help but punch him hard. After snorting coldly, he spoke: "Prince, what Yuan Fu said is extremely true, and the name is just right. If he ascends the throne silently, he will only ascend to the throne, and others will only say that the prince is guilty."

Cao Rui, in front of Li Su, looked at the straight man sideways, feeling a little convinced.

You should know that what Jia Qiang has been most annoying in recent years is this kind of straightforward minister.

The iron-bone loyal ministers fell into his hands, not one or two.

Being an official can achieve this level, naturally he will not be a fool, but he still dares to do this, which shows that this is true in his heart.

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "If you are guilty or not, it is not something that can be solved by a grand ceremony. The public opinion is the heart of heaven, like a furnace. Whether this king can withstand the fire burning, the knife and axe are cut by a knives, and in the final analysis, it depends on whether this king can withstand the test of the heart of the people, and not in a holy scripture.

And now I really have to do it in a big way, I am afraid that I will empty the treasury. I haven't saved up much money in the past two years. The deficit of owing royal money houses is about to expire? This account is vague.

So it is better to do more practical things than to spend so much energy, material resources and financial resources.

After three to five years, the treasury will be abundant, and it will not be too late to hold another national celebration."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and smiled and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind?"

Jia Qiang nodded and smiled, "There are too many serious things, and the disciples stay in Beijing until the New Year at most, so there is not enough time."

Lin Ruhai reminded: "The prince has done a lot of big things in the past two years, don't be too anxious. Take a break and your body is important."

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "I am only in my early twenties, and the things I manage are far less heavy than those of my husband and all the court officials. Furthermore, I only have a beginning in the government affairs. How to manage them depends on the court after all. I also understand the principle of governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food, but there are two things... In fact, it is one thing, and I cannot be delayed anymore, it is a matter of fire consumption.

In the past two years, I have visited countless private visits to explore the local people and understand the sufferings of the people. I found that the person who is most criticized by the people is the fire and waste of money, which is really unethical. Most of you come from prefectures, counties and cities. What is the name of this fire and waste of money? I don’t need to mention it at all.

Of course, some people will say that the emperor is not too hungry for soldiers. The court needs officials below, and officials need clerks. But the court does not pay salaries to clerks. Cerks need the county government offices below to support them. If there is no fire and money, what will they use to support them?

This is simply fart!”

Hearing Jia Qiang suddenly made a rude statement, the Qinzheng Hall was silent.

Jia Qiang stood up and frowned and said, "The disaster of the clerks is the second thing. How much tax is the court? You go to the people and ask, how much tax do they actually have to pay? Because the clerks have no salary, they rely on the money they rewarded by the officials, which is not enough for a meal of wine. But why do people want to make a clerk? Just because they put on that layer of skin, they can reach out to the people and find ways to squeeze out oil and water!

This king remembers that the court stipulated that the county-level government offices could recruit twenty clerks. However, in the past two years, the minimum number of county government offices that the king experienced was 200, and it was not an exaggeration to have a larger county government office.

Those clerks are very prosperous and enjoyable. Whether it is a disaster or a disaster, they are like holding an iron rice bowl...

But they don’t do anything about giving birth, so who do they eat and drink?

This is by no means a trivial matter, it is a serious disease! This is a poisonous carbuncle that grows on the people!

All of you hope that I can rule with you, so don’t interfere in your governance and government affairs.

But why don’t you rule the people?

It has only been two years since I have only been to several places, and there are 368 cases of deaths that have nowhere to complain!

This is not counting the county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family!"

Seeing Jia Qiang, who was getting colder and angry, the officials could not stand there. Lin Ruhai, all the leaders knelt down and apologized: "I deserve to die if I am guilty of the crime!"

Jia Qiang stood there, looked around with a stern look, and slowly said, "Everyone is up. You can't blame you for this. Nowadays, such a huge empire is full of holes and a lot of things to be done. But this matter is definitely not a trivial matter. Everyone says that the King of Hell is easy to mess with, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. There are too many little ghosts in this world. I asked someone to check it. There are at least 500,000 clerks in Dayan, which is not all. Can ten people afford to support the delicious food and drink of a clerk?

I will not ask you to kill this matter immediately, and it is impossible for the world to be peaceful in one day. But you must know what you want, and take it as a big thing!

Not all of this king was thrown to you, I also thought of a way, please listen to it..."

After pausing, Jia Qiang glanced over the hall, and his voice was deep, saying, "It has been two years since the sea was opened. The people who went to the Qin vassal states and the Han vassal states were about 800,000. This number is not much. A large area of ​​fertile and fertile land deeds overseas are waiting to be reclaimed and abandoned in vain. I asked someone to check it. Most people were afraid of leaving their hometowns and were afraid of going to sea and did not dare to take this step. At this time, the government should take one step first. Abolishing fire and spending money, countless people will curse behind their backs. Cutting off their wealth is better than killing their parents. I understand this principle, so I allowed government offices at all levels to go to the Qin vassal states to open up land and use it as public land and daily use of government offices for thirty years. Thirty years later, the mature fields will be collected and renovated, and the government office will then go to the new land..."

As soon as this statement was made, Li Su frowned immediately and said, "Prince, this matter needs to be discussed again. Once this case is relaxed, government agencies at all levels will find ways to arrange for the people of prefectures and counties to go out to sea to cultivate their lives, so as to make their own interests..."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Qiang waved his hand and said, "In the specific process, how to protect the rights and interests of the people from being harmed, the central court will issue specific measures. But in any case, it is better than the people being extorted and exploited by clerks.

How can we ensure that the people benefit to the greatest extent depends on your court officials. I don’t care about these things, only the results.”

...

Taiye poolside.

Jia Qiang gently supported Lin Ruhai with crutches and walked along the willow embankment.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and smiled and said, "In the end, it's still about opening the sea."

It was a big thunder, but it finally got around to the sea.

Jia Qiang shook his head and sighed: "The speed is too slow. In the past two years, except for the Delin shipment of 1.2 million people from the decayed provinces, the remaining national strength is only 800,000. These 800,000 were sent by those officials to cultivate honest fields. This is not enough, it is too slow. The Qin and Han vassalms combined have more farming and farming acres than the Big Yan. This is not included in the Mughal side... Now that we only occupy the land and no one goes to plant it, the vast majority of the people in the Big Yan are suffering, and there is not enough fertile land. We can't just look at the price of grain in the capital and Jiangnan, and think that the world is already prosperous and is still too far away."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "You know what you said. But governing a country is ultimately about governing people and officials."

After sighing, he said, "The difficulty of administration is not good for thousands of years. It is hard to say whether it can be managed well in the future. Many problems are not that the court turns a blind eye to the court, but that there is no good way to solve them. The method you gave... let's try it."

Jia Qiang said with a little ashamed: "It is difficult to govern the country, so the disciples are self-aware and dare not dive in and point fingers around. After all, the prime ministers who have risen from the prefectures and counties should take good care of the national affairs."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's not bad. If you do it for another three years, I will come down and let Cao Rui go for five years. After Cao Rui, there will be Li Su. After that, it depends on how the successor will arrange it. As long as you hold the military power tightly, you will do it well in the court affairs. If you don't do it well, you will change the cabinet ministers."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Sir, I misunderstood. The disciple is not that sinister. If you really do something bad, it may not be that the prime minister is not good, and there may be natural disasters and accidents. The disciple can tolerate mistakes. As long as you are not arrogant and lose yourself in power, you can forgive ordinary mistakes."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai smiled, leaned forward with a cane, looked at the vast lake and the white tower on Wansui Mountain not far away, smelled the clear air of willow leaves on the embankment, and said slowly: "You always have a way to simplify the complex. As long as you hold the military power tightly, these are indeed not a big problem. With the Qin vassalms and Han vassalms, the lives of the people of Dayan will eventually get better and better. If you open the sea more and more, new land will be included, and these problems will become increasingly different. Just one thing, I am still worried about my teacher. Qiang'er, I am not asking you to eliminate all evil, but some people who obviously have hatred, why bother to let the tiger and wolf return to the mountain? Even if they are bound to be difficult to accomplish great things, if you send a dead soldier to attack and kill you, you should consider the children at home..."

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "I understand this matter. But it is not appropriate to kill in China. Why did you release them? The disciple is just waiting for them to take action."

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "Since you have plans in your heart, that's all. But if they don't take action and really accumulate strength step by step, what should you do? Qiang'er, luck cannot be on one person forever, and Feng Shui will take turns."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Sir, tomorrow you will ask Mr. and Zhu Jun to go to the West Mountain to take a look. After seeing it, Mr. will understand that by farming, you can never surpass your disciples!"

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a tender and crisp laughter coming from the front.

The two looked up and saw a dozen babies running staggeringly on Liudi Avenue. From a distance, they saw Jia Qiang more and more joyful, and their calves kicked quickly. Children often fell down and didn't cry. They stood up and laughed and continued running.

Nearly a hundred maids followed behind him, and they followed closely with fear.

"Dad!"

"Father!"

"Dad!"

"Father!"

The biggest one is the girl in the lead, Xiao Qinglan.

He is three years old this year, and his small body is particularly strong, looking one head taller than a group of younger brothers.

Brother Li Zheng looks much thinner and half a shorter.

Compared to Queyue's sisters and younger brothers, Li Zheng is much quieter.

Lin Anzhi was standing next to Li Zheng.

He is the best at this uncle...

The eldest maid who followed Li Zheng was holding a book in her hand, which was used to coax Li Zheng to sleep...

After Jia Qiang taught his children to greet Lin Ruhai, they had sex with each other for a while before they let the maids and nannies continue to play.

Lin Ruhai looked at the bodies of a group of children leaving, and his face was full of loving smiles, but his eyes finally fell on Li Zheng and said to Jia Qiang: "Look at the age of three and look at the age of seven. Zheng'er, a child, is calm and will accomplish great things in the future."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Since he is so capable, the matter of going out to Malacca and fighting against the Western Barbarians will be left to him. If you can do it, go out to explore more. If you can't do it, you can just enfeoff all over the place and be a master of success. If you really can't even be a master of success, it's the fate that cannot be forced. However, this kind of thing should not happen within three generations."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Yes, after all, you are only in your early twenties. OK, that's great!"

The April wind is warm and gentle, and the willow leaves are whispering gently.

The Taiye Pool is endless and the waves are rippling.

Wansui Mountain in the distance is full of strange stones, and white clouds are floating...

The country is like a picture.

"Dad..."

Just as the master and apprentice were exploring the magnificence of the mountains and rivers of Xiyuan, they saw Daiyu coming over in a colorful auspicious cloud suit embroidered with Jia Qiang's cousin, Liu Daniu.

After the ceremony, Daiyu and Jia Qiang said angrily: "I said that my uncle's family will visit the palace today and let you leave and come to the breakfast home. You agreed neatly."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "My uncle's family is not an outsider. I can't eat lunch together, so I can eat dinner together."

Daiyu said: "You are not in a hurry to eat, so don't you eat it?"

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about being a father. The old god advised him not to eat after noon. After noon, just eat less refreshments when you are hungry. I have been doing this for the past two years, and my body is indeed much lighter."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Eat less and eat more, there are benefits."

Seeing Daiyu glaring at the two of them with a fierce look, Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Since there are guests at home, you can go first. My mother and uncle are the ones to say hello to you. There are still many memorials to be submitted in Wuying Palace, so I will go back to the palace first."

Lin Ruhai didn't give Daiyu a chance to keep him, so he left.

After Lin Ruhai left, Liu Daniu regained some energy and complained to Jia Qiang: "After my parents returned to Beijing, they ran back to Qingta. When the old neighbors saw it, they kowtowed, and it was useless to let them persuade them. After kowtow, they just flattered and wanted to get an official. At this moment, my parents were so annoyed that they wanted to go back to Xiaoliuqiu. There, they were more comfortable and happy in farming and doing things."

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "It was expected, but there is no hurry. We will talk about it after the New Year."

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Wait until the New Year, can we still go back to Xiaoliuqiu?"

Jia Qiang stroked his chin and said regretfully: "I'm afraid it's difficult... Going south, at most, you can go to Yuezhou and Fuzhou, and you can only go to Yangzhou... Hangzhou is also a good place. Let's talk about it then, and let's talk about it later!"
To be continued...
