Compared with Luoyang, which is less peaceful, Bianjing is more stable.
Pan Mei and Gao Huaide are in charge, so even if they have different intentions, they don't dare to mess around.
Coupled with Luo Youdu's accumulated reputation in Kaifeng Mansion, the people still have certain expectations for the new dynasty.
Of course, the most important thing is that the two big guys who can influence the military are competing for fishing in Gangneung.
After seeing the scale of Jinyang City with six connected cities, Luo Youdu felt uncomfortable when he returned to Bianjing.
Bianjing is really too small...
It's just that Luo Youdu has no plans to move the capital, at least for the next ten years.
No matter how small Bianjing is, it is still one of the Central Plains in the sense of this era.
It is not without reason that the princes of the Five Dynasties came to dominate the Central Plains, and after most of them invaded Bianjing, they began to spread the word to the world and invite all parties to come back.
This is a symbol. If the Emperor of the Central Plains is not in the Central Plains, what else would he be called the Emperor of the Central Plains?
Moving the capital is a choice that can only be made after unifying the world and ensuring stability in all directions.
Of course, the key point is that there is still no money.
No matter how small Bianjing is, its advantages in water transportation cannot be replaced by any place.
The Bian River runs across China, carrying the great river at its head, channeling the rivers and lakes, and benefiting from the South China Sea. Half of the world's wealth, as well as the department stores of the mountains and rivers, all come from this road.
The capital of the country is in Bianjing, and the money saved by just transferring it in is astronomical.
The Central Plains can't afford the trouble now. If we have the money to move the capital, we might as well fight from the north to the south and unify it as soon as possible.
After all, being an emperor is not about pleasure.
Luo Youdu hugged Fu Qing'er and thought wildly.
Fu Qing'er was discussing with him the matter of bringing Emperor Zhou E into the palace, thinking about it.
Luo Youdu and Guo Rong had the same problem: too few heirs.
When Fu Qing'er was on Luo Youdu's expedition, she learned a lot about being a queen from her sister Qian Fu Hou, and she even taught her heirs in this regard.
Luo Youdu said: "Everything must be obeyed by the queen."
After being affectionate with Fu Qing'er for a while, Luo Youdu went to Yanhe Hall to handle government affairs.
Looking at the memorials one by one in the council chamber, Luo Youdu raised his eyebrows one by one.
This expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty was a last resort, in order to get away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches.
The effect is significant, but the economic pressure on the country is also foreseeable.
This expedition involved nearly 100,000 troops and 200,000 support workers.
The reason why the Blitzkrieg was unexpected is because it goes against common sense.
This is not an empty talk for the three armies to move forward before using food and grass.
They want to start a war without food preparation.
As a result, manpower, material and financial resources need to be mobilized exponentially for support.
Although this battle lasted only twenty-seven days, and the army came and went for less than a month, the financial and material resources spent by the court even exceeded the Northern Expedition to Youzhou.
The imperial court had been preparing for the Northern Expedition to Youzhou for more than a year, and many things fell into place.
However, this surprise attack on the Northern Han Dynasty required the court to suspend a lot of preparatory work and give in to military arrangements, which had a great impact.
Luo Youdu fought well here, and achieved good results for both political and strategic purposes.
Sitting down and looking at the "result of impulse" in front of him, Luo Youdu felt like he wanted to hit a wall.
This is the difference between being prepared and not being prepared.
"It's true that one blast of a cannon can bring a thousand taels of gold!"
Luo Youdu looked at the silent resistance of the big guys in the meeting hall, patted his cheeks, and said to himself: "We have to let Nan Tang, it will be difficult for them to draw some blood. They are the most likely to escape. If they don't draw any blood, it would be a shame."
Already."
"Go to the meeting hall and invite the three princes to discuss matters."
Luo Youdu greeted.
The three ministers are Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and Song Qi.
Luo Youdu appointed Wang Pu as prime minister, Wei Renpu as secondary prime minister, and Song Qi entered the council hall as a political advisor.
Among the three figures, when it comes to ability, Wei Renpu is the leader, but in terms of reputation, Wang Pu is the highest, and Song Qi is between the two.
For the sake of the stability of the temple, Luo Youdu is not planning to change positions in the short term, but will step by step arrange Dou Yi and Zhao Pu into the council hall in the name of participating in political affairs, and use his confidants to control the administrative power of the temple.
Luo Youdu had already thought about the future of Wang Pu and Wei Renpu.
The former has the same name, Luo Youdu will give him a decent way to leave in the future and earn enough fame.
This is a compliment for standing in the right position.
Wei Renpu, Luo Youdu likes his talent and ability so much.
But the Prime Minister cannot give such a person the position of Three Officials, and he can stay in the temple to make plans and use his brain. The matter will be left to people like Song Qi, Dou Yi, and Zhao Pu.
During this period, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, and Song Qi were all directors of the Council.
After being summoned, the three of them walked into the hall together.
"I just read the memorial. It is true that... the finances of the new dynasty are somewhat tight. I have to bear the main responsibility... Just ask me for money. Don't think about it. I am poorer than you, and the treasury of the Northern Han Dynasty is not as good as mine.
Check the income of Xiao Siwen's family. But I thought of a way to get back to the original. I have to find a time to hold the enthronement ceremony. Make it a little bigger and invite the surrounding princes to send people to participate. If you participate in the enthronement ceremony, you won't come empty-handed.
Collect some gifts, expand some treasury, and meet the immediate urgent needs."
Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and Song Qi looked at each other in confusion.
This is the truth, and it can be said so straightforwardly by only Luo Youdu.
Wang Pu coughed to relieve his embarrassment and said: "We have indeed set a few days, and it is up to your Majesty to decide. The first day of the coming year, the second day of February, the third day of March, and the sixteenth day of March are all good days."
Luo Youdu thought for a while and said: "Then it will be February 2, which is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is too late and we have to give them time to prepare gifts. After March, it is too late. February 2, the dragon raises its head, is also auspicious.
"
Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and Song Qi naturally have no objections.
"In addition..." Luo Youdu said, looking at His Highnesses and everyone, "In view of Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion, the palace has no way to deal with it, which shows that there are huge loopholes in the palace system. I want to open the Wude Department, can you guys have any ideas?
objection?"
When he said this, his tone was very stern.
It was made clear that this was not a negotiation.
Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, and Song Qi were not very happy, but they also understood that Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi had learned from the past, and if the palace policy and system were not changed, no matter who became the emperor would not be able to sleep well.
He didn't offend Luo Youdu at this moment.
Whether Wude should change its name or not will be discussed later, but the immediate priority is to get the organization out of the way.
The emperor must have an eye liner and a murderous knife.
In the next period of time, the new dynasty made preparations for the two major events of building the ancestral temple and holding the enthronement ceremony.
Luo Youdu also began to transfer the positions of officials step by step, allowing those who were capable and close to him to be promoted, and those who were capable not to be close to him to continue to endure. This is called experience.
Those who have climbed up through the network of connections from the previous dynasty will naturally have to be liquidated.
If you want to govern the people, you must first govern the officials.
Luo Youdu's desire to govern officials was not just a matter of words.
Cui Yan, Luo Youdu's old boss, had already resigned from the official position due to his age. Luo Youdu allowed him to transfer to another official position and become an official. He also allowed him to receive half of his salary and enjoy his old age.
As soon as he retired, the position to be appointed in Kaifeng Mansion became vacant.
Luo Youdu did not continue to arrange for replacements, but asked Xue Juzheng, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, to be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as a minister, promoted Kou Xiang, and granted him authority over Kaifeng Prefecture affairs.
Give this order.
All the dignitaries up and down the Gyeonggi Province have a feeling of coldness in the soles of their feet.
Kou Xiang has been officially called Judge Kou after King of Hell Luo.
With this fair-faced judge around, anyone who commits a crime must be more relaxed.
Qufu Confucius Family.
Kong Yao looked at the government servant at the door and said angrily: "Anxian Lieutenant, what are you going to do?"
An Kangshun smiled bitterly and said: "The county magistrate asked me to collect grain taxes. Mr. Kong is a great sage of our time. Don't embarrass me."
Kong Yao looked at the ferocious government officials and said angrily: "It's not like we won't turn it over, how can there be any reason to forcibly collect it!"
An Kangshun sneered in his heart and thought to himself: If he hadn't been born well, I would have come to rob him, and I would have forced you to do anything.
When it comes to aristocratic families, no matter what the five surnames in this world are, compared with the Kong family, they are just passing by.
For a long time, the Confucius family has received preferential treatment from various dynasties and generations because of Confucius, a saint. They were even awarded dukes and royal titles.
But during the Five Dynasties, there were many warlords and warriors were in power, so the nightmare of the Confucius family came.
A group of warriors who kill without batting an eye. They only recognize the sword in their own hands, whether your surname is Kong or not.
The Kong family, which had always received preferential treatment, was almost wiped out during this period.
Fortunately, there was a Kong Renyu who continued the bloodline of the Kong family. The Kong family's status was in the decades of the Five Dynasties, and was undoubtedly at the low point of the feudal era.
It was not until Guo Wei founded the country and established the Zhou Dynasty that he went to Qufu to worship Confucius, summoned Kong Renyu, rewarded him with five-grade official uniforms, silverware, and miscellaneous colors, and even granted the descendants of the Confucius family no need to pay land taxes. Only then did the situation of the Confucius family improve.
But when it came to Guo Rong, the good days of the Kong family came to an end again.
Guo Rong directly canceled the privilege of the Kong family in Qufu to receive preferential treatment and be exempted from paying taxes, and paid taxes as common people.
This hit the weak spot of the Kong family. How could a saint be the same as the common people?
However, facing the powerful Guo Rong, the Kong family did not dare to say anything.
When Guo Rong was seriously ill, the Kong family wrote to Queen Fu to exempt the Kong family from paying taxes, but Queen Fu did not give her permission and ordered the rejection.
After that, some unfavorable remarks against Empress Fu spread throughout the Central Plains.
But before it fermented, Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny.
Kong Yao reluctantly asked people to hand over the food and salary, and suddenly something moved in his heart. The country changed hands and the new emperor ascended the throne. Didn't he just need the praise of the Kong family?
If the new emperor is made comfortable, benefits and benefits will come, right?
Where do I need to pay taxes like the common people?
The more Kong Yao thought about it, the hotter his heart became, and he strode towards his uncle's residence.
Kong Renyu, the direct head of the Kong family, died of illness three years ago. His eldest son, Kong Yinian, was not as good as Xianguan and was studying hard. Kong Yu, a branch of the Kong family, was responsible for everything in the Kong family.
Kong Yao met the elder of the Kong family respectfully and elaborated on his thoughts: "The current sage is not a martial artist like Guo Rong. He has the demeanor of a benevolent man. It is better for my uncle to sing praises and restore the glory of my Kong family."
Kong Yu twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Among the juniors, you are the only one to mention this. It's not bad. Haha, your majesty should have received the letter from my Kong family by now."
Are you waiting for your junior to mention this kind of thing?
Even shit can’t keep up with the heat!
