Chapter 404: New Deal Chaos
On the eighth day of the winter lunar month, after several days of preparation, on this day, Lin Fei finally moved from her residence outside the palace to the General's Mansion. At the same time, the female officials who were originally affiliated with the palace were also moved to the mansion. They were nominally responsible for taking care of Lin Fei's daily life, and in fact they were also supervising Lin Fei's daily life to prevent her from doing anything that would damage the reputation of the emperor.
To put it bluntly, these female officials came to the mansion to supervise Liu Wenyan to have sex with their mother-in-law.
The Zhenqiu General's Mansion was full of joy. Qier and her mother were reunited, and the family was happy for her. After all, Xu Xuanzhu lost his mother since childhood, and the mother of the Han sisters had already died. Now that there are relatives around her, it is as happy as a family.
In the past few days, a trend of denunciation of Liu Wenyan has emerged in the officialdom of Chang'an City. From civil officials to official schools, and even students from the Imperial Academy have joined the condemnation. Articles that scold Liu Yu for being arbitrary and arbitrary in Chang'an City have been flying all over the sky. For a time, Liu Wenyan seemed to have become a sinner for the ages and everyone was punished. However, the criticism of Liu Wenyan was only a condemnation, because the court did not take any measures to punish Liu Wenyan, and even if he scolded the dead, Liu Yu would not lose a piece of meat.
The court did not encourage and condemn, nor did it prohibit it, so that people from all forces could not see through the position and intention of the court, especially the new emperor.
After Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, he was completely unemployed.
When a person stays at home without leaving the house, there are signs of a few guests occasionally. Sui Yu and Han Sheng are regular guests of Liu Yu's mansion. Both of them have been classified as Liu Yu's faction. After Han Sheng was promoted to the right prime minister, he did not hesitate to go to the vanguard General's mansion at all. At first, it made people feel that this old guy may have never been an official and is not familiar with some of the unspoken rules of the court. Over time, after Han Sheng handled several decent things in the court, people knew how strong this unknown old guy was.
The first thing Han Sheng did was to replace the former right prime minister Yuan Bolang.
He has always been a minister of the emperor, but in ancient times when the power of the prime minister expanded, the prime minister also covered the minister of the emperor. Taking Yuan Bolang as an example, after he took office, he gradually promoted some old subordinates. Some of the originally inconspicuous old ministers could call on the wind and rain in the court and take charge of key departments such as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. The appearance of these people is actually a manifestation of bureaucratic politics. Han Sheng's first thing he did when he took office was to assess the officials of the Six Taiwan Yamen and the Six Ministry. In a few days, he took down some mediocre officials and caught some old factions such as Yuan Bolang off guard.
Among the people Han Sheng removed, there were both mediocre officials from Yuan Bolang's faction and some newly emerging young and strong sects, which meant that Han Sheng was fighting against the old civil servants and the emperor at the same time, without any face. However, because Han Sheng had a faction in the court, he had no old subordinates to help him. Therefore, after the court conducted an assessment, Han Sheng not only made an incitement, but also promoted some capable officials who were depressed but were depressed because they did not understand the world, which made him gain a good reputation in the court.
In this way, no matter whether it is an old faction or a new emperor, Han Sheng cannot find out the fault of Han Sheng. After all, Han Sheng is very fair in this matter, which makes people see the vitality of the court. The new emperor also hopes to introduce new things to complete the implementation of the new policy at once, so he recognizes Han Sheng's new assessment system, which also makes the court full of energy for a while. No one wants to be dismissed from office. In Han Sheng's words, if you don't have the ability, don't occupy the position, and there are still many people queuing up.
Han Sheng's assessment system offended some people and also won over the trust of some people. Han Sheng maintained a very delicate relationship with these people and did not accept any gifts. Han Sheng was even the first official to "disclose property" in the North Korean country. Han Sheng also clearly stated that how many maids and servants there were in his family acres of land, and how many were left by his ancestors, it was obtained from business. At the same time, he also told the world that I had enough so much, and I would not accept it if I gave it to me. It was a completely honest style. Even some officials who were promoted by him wanted to take the opportunity to invite him to have a meal and contact him, but were rejected by Han Sheng.
A new court, a new atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, the court began to implement the new policy.
Because the new policy began under the leadership of the young and strong faction, it was difficult for old ministers from the old faction in the court to get closer to the implementation of the new policy. However, Han Sheng and Lanhe, who trusted the right prime minister, were appointed as supervisors of the implementation of the new policy because of their high position and power. Supervision means that they do not need to participate, but just observe from the side to see what gains and losses are, and then report them to the emperor in a unified manner.
Since the emperor announced that the new policy had officially begun trial implementation at the court, Han Sheng has been running towards Liu Yu's mansion. Many people also realized that he was actually asking Liu Yu for his opinion. One of the reforms of this new policy is that the Trade Department is divided into six small departments, which are affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue, which is equivalent to breaking up the original Trade Department, which is convenient for management and weakening the role of the Trade Department's manager's yamen.
After all, the position of Shaoqing, the manager of the yamen of the Trade Department, was taken into account by Han Sheng, who was the right prime minister, and this is the most important department of the court today, and even more authority than the six ministries. The initial point of the court's reform was the Trade Department.
So Sui Yu also visited Liu Yu's mansion almost every day.
Many people believe that if Liu Yu had a quarrel in the court, his relationship with the emperor must have been quarrel. If Liu Wenyan was ambitious, he would definitely take action as soon as possible and use Han Sheng and Sui Yu's hands to put pressure on the new emperor to prevent the implementation of this new policy.
However, in terms of implementation, although Han Sheng and Sui Yu often went to Liu Yu's residence, they did not criticize the implementation of the new policy. Like Liu Yu, they only demonstrated what kind of chaos would occur in the Commercial Bureau and Chang'an City after the reform, what would be the remedial measures to be taken after the reform, and what would be the remedial measures to be taken afterwards.
There are several items in the new policy that made Liu Yu feel eye-catching. From the beginning, Liu Yu felt that there would be chaos.
One is that the bank account has expanded its lending authority. In the original case of bank account in Chang'an City, merchants must have sufficient mortgages and guaranteed by the guarantor. The procedures are very complicated, and the repayment period is also very strict, so borrowers are not allowed to default. Winding situations will occur at any time, which is also to avoid bad debts from bank account. However, in the new policy, changes to the loan terms have been made, so merchants need to borrow more conveniently. When the money supply is tight, they cannot issue additional currency, which can easily cause chaos in the merchant's economy.
The second is to establish the Military Affairs Department and implement military affairs reform. The original situation of the Ministry of War commanding troops was changed, but the Military Affairs Department and the Ministry of War controlled each other and unified the adjustment.
