The people below were talking lively, but Xia Yan was a little unhappy. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and something bad suddenly arose in his heart.
Not good, it seems not good...
[Dududu, here I come, the task of putting people first (2) has been completed, the details will be displayed later]
….
Xia Yan had a feeling that he would be able to successfully burp his brain after having a cerebral hemorrhage with just a tiny bit left.
But he still managed to carry it through.
Xia Yan lit a flower and took a deep breath.
Where did I go wrong?...
Obviously, this is not the place to think.
"Retreat!"
Eunuch Luo was good at observing words and expressions. When he saw Xia Yan acting like this, he ordered Xiao Haozi and Xiao Kaizi not to review the memorial today.
A group of ministers looked at Xia Yan and began to continue their heated discussion.
"It seems that we have all misunderstood His Majesty. These small scenes are all under His Majesty's control!"
"Oh, yes, we are still saying that His Majesty is a foolish king, and the clown is actually me?! His Majesty must have been under too much pressure to become unwell. We can't slander His Majesty in the future!"
"Yes, our national strength has not been strong for two hundred years before the Great Xia Dynasty. As a result, Your Majesty now needs to work hard to survive."
"That's right, that's right. I, the minister, have been fishing before. Now that I'm approaching retirement age, it's time to pick myself up again."
"It makes sense, I will refuse to fish in the future!"
…
On the other side, Xia Yan, who returned to the room, continued to light a flower and began to smoke.
Where did I lose?
[Task settlement details]
[Task name: People-oriented (2)]
[Is it completed: Completed]
【Dynasty: Daxia】
[Popularity: 8 (People’s trust increases after finding a national treasure)]
[Economy: 4 (flat)]
[Military: 2 (equal)]
[Culture: 10 (increased by finding national treasure culture)]
[Territory: 1 (initial)]
[Dynasty strength: 25 (increased by 15 points in this issue, overfulfilled)]
[Reward: Get system item selection x1 (please complete the drawing within 12 hours)]
Looking at the system panel, Xia Yan's face was stern, but slightly relaxed.
After just that, he had already reflected on the problem this time.
In general, it can only be said that Di Renjie caused the accident.
If it were not for Di Renjie's outstanding crime-solving ability and his ability to find the former national treasure, the Divine Sword, there would not have been such an improvement in people's hearts and culture.
Although it failed, it proved that his strategy was no problem.
Such a situation is just an accident and cannot happen at any time.
[Receive new mission: Business prosperity]
[Task details: Within the settlement period, increase the strength of the dynasty by 50 points (to 75 points)]
[Task cycle: two weeks]
[Completion reward: Draw x1 for civil servants and generals, x1 for prop selection]
【Tips and Tips】
[Top three tips for governing the country: Promote commerce]
[Detailed explanation: After testing, the commerce and trade of the Daxia Dynasty was lagging behind. It is recommended to issue policies to enhance trade vitality, provide convenience for the gentry clan and wandering merchants to do business, and enhance the commerce and trade vitality of Daxia. (It is expected that the economy can increase by 35 points, the public support can increase by 5 points, and the remaining
At 10 o'clock, the host needs to find a solution on his own).】
[Update cycle of clever ideas: fourteen days later]
I have to admit that the feasibility of the solutions provided by the system is quite good.
Following its instructions can increase the strength of the dynasty by 40 points, and the remaining 10 points can be obtained casually.
The simplest thing is to use the money earned to make armaments or print books.
In this way, there will inevitably be an improvement in military or culture.
But that was someone else, and I was the one who wanted to go back and enjoy that small goal all to myself!
So, Xia Yan thought silently, thought clearly about all the matters to be announced tomorrow, and then silently turned his attention to the system panel.
[System props are drawn, the number of remaining times is one, and the remaining time is twelve hours. Please choose one of the three props below.]
[1: Playing card production plan, exquisite and explosive. 】
[2: High-quality flying divine claw schematic diagram, which can be used to produce flying divine claws in batches (it can climb the mountain wall to ensure that it will not fall off)]
[3: One ton of refined cold iron can be used to make the head of a red tassel gun (using this cold iron to make a gun head will be extremely strong). There will be a ray of cold light on the tip of the gun, which will increase the combat power of the army several levels)]
Do you still need to choose this?
That must be playing cards!
Choose the last two to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army?
Then I'm not a pure fool.
After making the selection, an exquisite scroll appeared in Xia Yan's hands.
Xia Yan opened it slowly and found that the notes were very detailed.
What ingredients are used and how much is needed are explained very clearly.
On the second day, Xia Yan couldn't wait to take out the schematic diagram of the playing cards, and asked the people below to produce and distribute them, and give priority to providing troops.
As for whether the people below him could learn it, Xia Yan didn't consider it.
This scroll has clearly explained everything that can be annotated, and any craftsman can complete it.
At that time, you only need to wait a few days to find someone to copy a few copies before formal mass production can begin.
I am simply a genius!
Likewise, all the ministers looked surprised after seeing the drawings of the playing cards.
Zhuge Liang looked at the production drawing and nodded deeply.
"This playing card seems inconspicuous, but there are many mysterious levels hidden in it. I admire it!"
"Yes, just looking at the fifty or so cards on the schematic diagram makes me yearn for it. If it really comes out, I will have to try it out first."
"Exactly, the gameplay is ever-changing, good things, good things."
Xia Yan looked at a group of people who had never seen the world and tried not to laugh, then showed a serious face.
"Okay, hurry up and mass-produce these playing cards. We must let the soldiers in the army be the first to use these playing cards!"
"By the way, I have one more thing to announce."
"That is, starting today, the court will focus on cracking down on those clan gentry who bully the common people. Their fields will be owned by the state, 70% of their family property will go to the national treasury, and the tax on business will be increased by 30%!"
"What?"
The group of people all looked at each other, and no one understood what was going on.
Zhu Ming was the first to speak, with worry in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, these gentry and squires hold a lot of money and silver in their hands, and many big families are protected by many experts. If they are pushed into a hurry, they may cause some trouble..."
Zhu Ming's meaning is very clear, if people are pushed into a hurry, they will rebel.
It's okay if it's one family or two, but if the families in the city unite, this regime will really be overthrown!
Obviously, Zhu Ming's words were very restrained, mainly because he just said yesterday that he no longer doubted Xia Yan's decision-making.
But Xia Yan's words today still shocked him.
However, Xia Yan above just laughed.
"These are just small things, you just have to implement them, and you don't need to think about the rest."
Are you kidding, they want to rebel? Then let them rebel.
After all, isn’t this what you want?
A group of old men want to cry but have no tears. What kind of broken policy is this?
Every fool knows how much wealth the squires control. If they are forced into a hurry, it is really possible to raise an army.
I wouldn't be afraid if there were tens of thousands of troops in the court, but what's the situation in Daxia? Less than ten thousand!
If people want to rebel, they are simply yuppies.
"You are a fool! This person is simply a fool!"
"Yes, if this continues, Daxia will be destroyed!"
Soon, two people couldn't help but speak. Their voices were not soft, and they directly reached Xia Yan's ears.
But after hearing this, Xia Yan's face didn't show any anger at all, he just smiled calmly.
I thought to myself, how could I not know this? If it were a good policy, I would come up with it. Do you think I am stupid?
But obviously, he couldn't say it out of his mouth. He just continued: "I said it, no need to say anything more."
As Xia Yan spoke again, the two old men who had just spoken also fainted.
An inexplicable feeling of sadness arose in their hearts, but just when they raised their heads, they saw Zhuge Liang standing calmly beside him.
It seems... Zhuge Liang didn't panic at all.
Suddenly a doubt arose in my heart, could it be that we are worrying too much?
Thinking about it again, it seems that His Majesty's previous two instructions were difficult to understand, but they had immediate effects.
Could it be that I am on the first level and His Majesty is in the atmosphere, so my height is not high enough?
Today, Di Renjie is still dealing with matters regarding the Divine Sword, and Zhuge Liang is the only one present in the court for the time being.
Even Zhuge Liang didn’t express his opinion, which means it’s feasible!
Thinking of this, the old men felt much relieved and stopped trying to persuade me. This chapter has been completed!
