Chapter 106 Zhang Yuelu’s Reform
Just as Qi Xuansu went to the ocean to make waves behind the enemy, Zhang Yuelu was not idle either.
After all, Xiao Yin had sneaked out, so Zhang Yuelu didn't care about it, which shows that Zhang Yuelu was really busy.
What is Zhang Yuelu busy with?
She mainly targets internal issues.
Although Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu were all wiped out by Qi Xuansu, when Qi Xuansu was in power, the entire Nanyang was filled with a clear and peaceful atmosphere, but it would be a bit different if it were Zhang Yuelu.
The reason is also very simple. Why should Qi Xuansu have prestige? To put it bluntly, it was Qi Xuansu's killing, and both the Wang family and the Sun family were defeated. Who would dare to fight against Qi Xuansu? That was because he thought he had lived a long life.
Now, Qi Xuansu has left, replaced by Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu didn't kill her like Qi Xuansu. She was normal. The difference was like the emperor who immediately won the world and the emperor who inherited the throne must have different prestige.
In addition, Qi Xuansu's three years in power was mainly to stabilize the situation internally, make up for fiscal deficits externally, seek stability and be gentle, so the situation was naturally relatively stable. However, after Zhang Yuelu took office, the situation became stable, so she began to implement some improvement policies and carry out internal reforms.
Don’t forget that when discussing how to deal with Nanyang United Trading Company, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu had a disagreement.
Zhang Yuelu means that such a large company cannot be managed in private hands. To prevent illegal incidents such as slave trafficking, Taoist sects must also hold shares, preferably 51% of the shares and have absolute control.
Qi Xuansu held objections, one is that after two wars, the Dao Sect's finances did not support the Dao Sect's participation too much. The second is that the Dao Sect's intervention will inevitably lead to a series of personnel problems, which may not be a good thing.
In the end, the two reached a compromise in their opinions, and could bring in the Taoist sect, but they did not occupy absolute shares, did not directly participate in business management, but only sent representatives to exercise supervision rights.
From this we can see that Qi Xuansu was soft when he involved in a huge vested interest group. Zhang Yuelu was much tougher and was not afraid of offending others. If Zhang Yuelu was asked to preside over the restructuring of Nanyang United Trading Company, it would never be you, I, and everyone.
At that time, Qi Xuansu was the chief of the Borneo Taoist Government, and Zhang Yuelu could only suggest that she would not do her own politics if she was not in her position. Now that Zhang Yuelu has become the chief of the Borneo Taoist Government, people and affairs can remain unchanged, and she should follow her policy in her position.
Internal reform will inevitably touch those who have vested interests. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, and someone will inevitably jump out to oppose it.
The heart in it
The reason is very simple. Chief Qi’s contribution is so great that he didn’t do this when he was in office. Chief Zhang has no size and has relied on his family background to do so, so how dare he do this?
Oppose! Must oppose!
Zhang Yuelu couldn't give in. She wanted to change the Taoist sect, and she couldn't just shout, but she always had to put it into practice. If she couldn't even promote Nanyang, how could she talk about promoting the entire Taoist sect?
In a sense, Nanyang is a pilot.
So the two factions met like this.
The nature of this is different from that of Wang Jiaohe. It cannot be said that he is disloyal to the Taoist sect, nor can he betray the Taoist sect.
Human nature is always complicated. If foreign enemies come, most opposition parties dare to fight against foreign enemies to the death. Many of them are even meritorious Taoists who participated in the war in Posa Forum. However, the benefits they invaded must not be missing.
They are loyal to the Taoist sect and have made great contributions to the Taoist sect. They are also greedy and think that everything they deserve.
There are no good people in the absolute sense, nor are there any bad people in the absolute sense.
It is precisely because of this that it becomes complicated and difficult to deal with.
It is difficult for Zhang Yuelu to use violent means to crush him. Jinque would not agree, Yao Shu would not agree, and even Lan Da Zhenren would not agree. But every time Zhang Yuelu did things, someone would interfere with it, and the progress was slow and there were many obstacles.
Zhang Yuelu had no choice but to join forces with Xu Jiaorong to counterattack. This move was not to adjust personnel and rebuild power balance on a large scale like Qi Xuansu, but to take down whoever blocks the way within a small range.
This is also a necessary means. Zhang Yuelu has never been the kind of person who blindly pursues moral flawlessness.
Some female Taoist priests always attach too much importance to the power of rules, which is also their biggest limitation. They always believe that power is from top to bottom, as if they can do whatever they want with an empty name. They often have the wonderful idea of "the puppet emperor seizes the evidence of the powerful ministers and then kills the powerful ministers with an edict."
A powerful minister who does not use force and is sentenced to death with an edict is not called a powerful minister, and such an emperor is not called a puppet emperor.
The Li family silenced all the way and eliminated the evidence of crime because Zhengyidao and Quanzhendao do have the ability to sanction the Li family. The Li family does not want to be passive, so they have to silence the words. When the two sides are evenly matched, the laws, rules, righteousness, and principles are meaningful. Instead of the Li family fearing the so-called rules
and the law.
If these two companies are not rivals of the Li family, the Li family can say that you can modify them on the spot, see which law I have violated. What crime do you want? I will write one for you now.
Zhang Yuelu unintentionally investigated whether these people have any difficulties or difficulties. She only has one place, you block my way, and if you are not clean, then take you off and go to the prison to repent slowly. Even if you are clean or the problem is not serious, I can transfer you away and go to other places to shine and heat, and don’t block my way here.
This kind of struggle cannot tolerate any slight slut. If you don’t touch others, others will touch you.
In a sense, Zhang Yuelu's ruthlessness is not inferior to Qi Xuansu. .??.
So, under the influence of the two, even Xiao Yin knew that "you have caused me a lot of trouble."
During this period, Zhang Yuelu has won four main Taoist priests in a row and handed over to the court. Because the case handling speed of Beichentang Branch and Fengxiantang Branch was too slow and there was a deliberate delay, she changed to another auxiliary, and replaced Lu Yuting himself to supervise the case, striving to close the case in the shortest time.
For a moment, many people were saying that Chief Zhang was persecuting.
Early this morning, as soon as Zhang Yuelu arrived at Tianfu Palace, she saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard waiting in front of the door.
This old man is named Zhou Hegang. Although he is not as good as Sun Heyu, he also retreated from the position of a second-rank Taiyi Taoist priest. He used to be the chief deputy head of the Borneo Taoist priest in Du Yuhuan and Wang Jiaohe, and later went to Yujing to be the chief deputy head of the hall. After Sun Heyu was taken down and Du Yuhuan was silent, he became the leading figure among the Borneo veterans.
Zhang Yuelu naturally knew what Zhou Hegang was doing here, but she still didn't want to tear her face and said with a smile, "Old Zhou, you are not going to enter the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, I wonder what advice?"
Zhou Hegang had a stern face, "I dare not take the advice, I am here to meet Chief Zhang."
Zhang Yuelu didn't seem to hear the resentment in Zhou Hegang's words, but said, "Let's go in and say. Mr. Zhou is coming, and don't inform him in advance, so I can have someone to welcome Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Hegang said coldly, "Chief Zhang has a lot of things to do every day. I, a bad old man, dare not delay Chief Zhang's precious time, so I came here. If Chief Zhang has time to see me, then meet me. If Chief Zhang has time to see me, then I will stand here and wait until Chief Zhang has time."
When the Five Dynasties' chief clerks personally led a large army to land on Xiposa Forum. Not only were the ancestors of the Wang family among them, but Zhou Hegang, who was still very young at that time, was also in the army.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Hegang is already old. Zhang Yuelu respects his past experience. Even though the smell of gunpowder in his words is very strong, he still refuses to tear his face. "Since Zhou is old, there is time no matter whether he has time or not."
After all, this is an old senior who has been through life and death for the Taoist sect. Zhang Yuelu is willing to give him the greatest respect within the allowed scope.
After entering the reception room, Ke Qingqing arranged it, and Zhang Yuelu and Zhou Hegang sat down respectively.
Zhang Yuelu took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhou, you can point out any wrong things about what I did. I will accept it humbly and correct it seriously."
Zhou Hegang was not polite, "I heard that Chief Zhang and Chief Qi have made a marriage, which is a good thing. Chief Qi recommended Chief Zhang to come to the Borneo Palace as the Chief Vice-President. The meaning is very clear. Borneo carries Chief Qi's efforts. He is afraid that others will ruin his efforts, and he is also afraid that others will leave the political situation. So he recommended Chief Zhang to take over his position. But what did Chief Zhang do? I remembered that one time came, and he regarded Borneo as a place where you were messing around."
"You are not afraid of ruining the good situation that Chief Qi has created after three years of troubleshooting. How can you be worthy of Chief Qi? Qingwei Zhenren is the same. Xiao Qi did a good job, why did he change him? Now that it is this situation, what are you still saying here to accept humbly, and why are you correcting it seriously, and who are you fooling?"
The smile on Zhang Yuelu's face gradually faded away, and she ordered, "Qingqing, write down all Mr. Zhou's words, let's discuss matters in the future."
"Mr. Zhou, what are you still dissatisfied with? Just say it together. Don't be so general. It's better to be specific about something or someone. I am the least afraid of being serious, and I am also afraid that you are not serious."
Zhou Hegang was not afraid of this, "Don't do this. Before your father was born, I was born and died with the Five Generation Masters. I crawled out of the sea of blood in Xiposa Prefecture. I am not Wang Jiaohe. I will be loyal to the Taoist sect all my life. I am not afraid of being a crooked shadow. Are you afraid of you, a junior?"
