Chapter 194 The leader of the four states
"Item 5: Establish a 'criminal land' system, and use land as a substitute for crime. Anyone who commits a crime can obtain corresponding reductions and exemptions as long as he pays enough land."
"Since the implementation of this project, more than 300 officials and nobles have been punished, and a total of more than 30 million acres of farmland of all levels in the "criminal land" have been confiscated."
"Your Majesty, the crime farm system has been in effect for five years, and the treasury has enough cultivated land. Moreover, this punishment is too severe and has been resisted by many people, and many officials have secretly discussed it."
"Now that the world is in chaos, can we postpone the discussion on the silver system or replace it with gold and silver..."
"No!"
Before Lu Xiangqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Yi.
"I created the criminal land system in order to seize the world's land and fight for a living for the people of the world."
Zheng Yi said coldly: "In addition to the crime fields, after the imperial army suppresses all the rebellions in other states, the national land property will reach an astronomical figure."
"At that time, Dayu will usher in real stability!"
"If people have fields and food to eat, they will not rebel!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Lu Xiangqing smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the abolition of the crime field system was not feasible with His Majesty.
We can only wait until later.
Discussing crime fields is really too harsh for big officials, big landowners and others.
Although it allows them to escape Dayu's law, it is digging up their roots!
He calmed down and continued: "Item 6: Establish the Beiyang Navy..."
"This matter is under the control of the Ministry of War, Mr. Li should know better."
Li Changfeng on the side said immediately: "Your Majesty, the Beiyang Navy has been built."
"Among them, there are more than a thousand large and small warships and more than 100,000 troops. They are stationed in Binzhou and can support the operations of various states from the sea at any time."
"But now the navy is suppressing the rebellion in Jingzhou, and General Meng Guang is also suppressing it in Jingzhou."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "I already know about the navy. After the Jingzhou rebellion is quelled and the governing officials are assigned, Meng Guang will lead his army into Jiangzhou to suppress Yunmengze!"
Yunmengze!
This is one of Zheng Yi's biggest purposes in creating a navy.
The area of Yunmengze is so large that it is almost equivalent to an inland sea.
Only with a navy of one hundred thousand people can we slowly uproot the Tuoba family that is stuck in Yunmengze!
"No!"
"That's right."
Zheng Yi suddenly asked: "What about the rebels in the world now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, now most of the rebels in Yongzhou, Shuzhou, Jingzhou, Binzhou, Yuezhou and other places have been pacified. Now only Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Jiangzhou and other places are still under the control of the rebels."< br>
Li Changfeng said: "However, the Ministry of War has received the latest news. In order to resist General Xu, the rebels from the four states want to join forces. The number of rebels exceeds one million!"
"Now most of the rebels have arrived in Xuzhou and other places, intending to intercept General Xu in Xuzhou and resist the imperial army."
"Are there four states left..."
Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Who are the rebel forces in these four states?"
"Your Majesty, the number of rebels in the four states is extremely large, and because they are all located in the south, they are where the rebel forces are strongest."
"There are a large number of rebels in every state."
"As little as two or three shares, as many as hundreds of shares."
"But in every big state, there are the strongest among them, who are already united."
"The strongest among the Qingzhou rebels is undoubtedly the White Lotus Sect."
"It is rumored that this religion has been passed down for thousands of years and has penetrated deeply into the people. Ordinary methods cannot eradicate it."
"During the sixth year of Zhengyong, General Miao Xiu once wiped out the White Lotus Sect in Qingzhou. Unfortunately, in just a few years, the White Lotus Sect revived and its power increased greatly!"
Li Changfeng said: "The most powerful person in Yangzhou is the Yunmengze Tuoba family."
"This family is located deep in Yunmengze, and Yunmengze is at the junction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, stretching for thousands of miles and occupying a huge area."
"And the Yunmengze Tuoba family is also stuck in the two states due to the terrain. It is difficult for the imperial army to break through."
"But thanks to His Majesty's sage wisdom, he founded the navy. Now that General Meng Guang is stationed in Jingzhou, the military peak is already close to Yunmengze, and the day of annihilation is just around the corner."
Yunmengze, Tuoba family.
In Zheng Yi's opinion, this family is the strongest in this rebellion.
Behind it, there must be monks secretly controlling it.
The reason is simple.
Of the ten innate spiritual energies, there is still one located deep in Yunmeng Ze, which has been thinned by less than half.
Zheng Yi wants to pacify the world, and the Tuoba family is his biggest enemy!
Li Changfeng continued: "Xuzhou is the power of Chen Wang Zheng Zongkai."
"King Chen and the late emperor are brothers. They have been familiar with military books since they were young. They are rare military talents in the royal family."
"During Tianqi's reign, he and General Xu Mujun attacked Nanyue County together. He also had a very good relationship with the late emperor, and he was also regarded as a leader by General Xu."
"But for some reason, Chen Wang Zheng Zongkai also raised his troops to rebel. This is strange."
Zheng Yi asked: "Oh? What's so weird?"
Lu Xiangqing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I also know about this."
"The world has been in chaos for two years. The imperial army has been overwhelming and has recaptured several major states and counties one after another."
"But in the land of Xuzhou, King Chen has never shown his presence in public since he issued the proclamation, and no one has seen His Highness King Chen."
"Until now, the rebellion in Xuzhou has only been presided over by Zheng Yuanfa, the son of King Chen."
"Zheng Yuanfa?"
Zheng Yi murmured: "Who is this person?"
"Zheng Yuanfa, twenty-seven years old. I heard that he disappeared for several years when he was a child. When he came back, he lived in seclusion and rarely showed anyone."
"But for some reason, when the world was in chaos, he took charge of major events in Xuzhou and started a rebellion."
"Nowadays, among the many rebel alliances in the south, Zheng Yuanfa has been recommended as the leader by many people!"
"Zheng Yuanfa? Interesting..." Zheng Yi murmured: "I disappeared for several years when I was young, and then returned. My temperament changed drastically... Could it be that I met a fairy fate?"
If it can change an ordinary person's temperament and lifestyle, there is only one answer, and that is immortality!
It seems that Zheng Yuanfa, the son of King Chen, also pays great attention to it.
Zheng Yi asked again: "Where is Jiangzhou in the end?"
"Jiangzhou..."
Li Changfeng said: "Jiangzhou is the headquarters of Tianlong Temple. More than half of the entire state is controlled by the monks of Tianlong Temple, which is extremely powerful."
"Although the top management of Tianlong Temple has lost one or two people, the loss is not very big for them."
"There are rumors in Jiangzhou that a huge roar of beasts came from the direction of Tianlong Temple in the dark night a few months ago. Some people even said they saw intense Buddha light and gods!"
"Buddha's light? Immortal?"
Zheng Yi frowned slightly, what is going on in Tianlong Temple?
At first, there was the self-taught Tianlong Temple who presided over Fayuan, and later there was Fajiang who intercepted and killed Xu Mujun.
Now there are many things happening again. Could it be that there are monks behind Tianlong Temple? !
Zheng Yi took a deep breath and was already prepared for this matter.
Taiyi Dao has Zhao Xizheng, a monk in the late stage of Qi training, and he once said that there are also many monks living in seclusion in Dayu.
If the world is in chaos, these reclusive monks will always take action.
And there are also those ten innate spiritual energy factors.
"Pass the order."
Several people bowed and waited for Zheng Yi's order.
"With Cui Xiawu, Meng Guang, Miao Xiu, Guan Shan, Tang Zhengkou and others, go to Xuzhou together, follow the orders of Xu Mujun, and jointly destroy the rebels!"
"No!"
"Gentlemen, now that the rebels in the world have gathered in Xuzhou, as long as the Xuzhou rebels are wiped out, the entire rebellion in the world will be put down."
"You, too, will be our ministers for the great resurgence of Yu, and your names will go down in history!"
"I obey the order!"
"Lu Qing, you continue."
"No!"
Lu Xiangqing opened the memorial again and said:
"Item 7: The Ministry of Rites will establish a 'Propaganda Department', and a dedicated person will print news transcripts of documents and political information transmitted by the court every week. They can also print other content to promote the court's thoughts."
"This project has been completed a long time ago. There are now more than 40 official positions in the Propaganda Department, and many officials have been trained."
"After the world is calmed down, he can be sent to many counties and counties to form branches of the Propaganda Department and control the world's mouthpieces."
The remaining items are all simple policies, which were quickly completed with Zheng Yi's full support.
"Item 8: The Taiyuan Hospital and the Ministry of Rites will establish a 'medical school' to recruit students who are interested in medicine to enroll and study, and will be taught by dedicated personnel from the Taiyuan Hospital to spread medicine."
"This strategy has also been completed, and a total of more than 3,000 qualified doctors have been trained within five years."
"These doctors have mastered preliminary medical knowledge and surgical treatment methods, and more than two thousand of them have been placed in the armies to ensure the safety of soldiers' lives."
"Item 9: Military merit system."
"After this policy was issued, it was supported by all the soldiers of our Dayu army."
"Soldiers are not afraid of death and must take the lead in every battle. This makes our Dayu army invincible and suppresses the rebellion with overwhelming force!"
"Of the more than 30 million acres of farmland that were previously conquered by the Sinian Land, more than 5 million acres of farmland have been awarded to many meritorious ministers."
"This policy is a policy for establishing a country, and it must not be abandoned now."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "My dear friends, it can be said that more than 70% of the first five-year plan has been completed. There are also several policies that have not been completed due to various reasons."
"I wonder what you guys think about Dayu's second five-year plan?"
"I would like to propose one thing first. The crime field policy cannot be abolished."
"At least, it cannot be abolished now!"
Several people were silent for several seconds, and finally Wang Anshi took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the New Deal cannot be abolished."
The New Deal mentioned by Wang Anshi was the reform he presided over.
It includes many policies such as land, population, commercial tax, official tax, etc. It has been two years now.
Lu Xiangqing gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty!"
"My country is in chaos now, and it's all because of Mr. Wang's reform!"
"In order to stabilize the world, I would like to change some of these laws."
"Otherwise, even if I, Dayu, settle down again, I will rebel again for many reasons!"
Wang Anshi said calmly: "Lord Lu, the reforms and new policies implemented by Xiaguan are beneficial to the present and will last forever!"
"There may be some difficulties in administration before, but as long as we persist, we, Dayu, will surely prosper because of this!"
"The merit lies in the future?"
Lu Xiangqing gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for your majesty's sage, the loyalty of the soldiers, and the loyalty of all the officials, how could we have survived through the ages!"
"To protect the general trend of the world, I sincerely request your Majesty to change the new policy after the world is settled!"
Zheng Yi asked: "I wonder which new policies Lu Qing wants to change?"
"Official tax!"
Lu Xiangqing gritted his teeth and said: "In the more than 300 years since the founding of Dayu, there has never been any mention of official taxes."
"Moreover, many colleagues are familiar with the books of sages and regard money as dirt, so why bother imposing taxes on officials."
"As far as I know, the salaries of some local officials are not high enough to support their families, and they have to pay taxes!"
"This... Your Majesty, is inconsistent with the teachings of the saints!"
