"Except for Miss Pei, everyone else should go out first."
After the servants left, the old housekeeper tapped the newspaper lightly.
"Madam, I suggest you read the following first..."
In his opinion, compared to the names of the generals' wives who attended the coronation ceremony of the new emperor such as Qian Qiao, the following ones were the most important.
Qu Miaohan nodded, his eyes subconsciously slid down, and he was quickly stunned.
"What military and political program will the new emperor implement?"
"That's right." The old housekeeper nodded heavily, "Madam, this is exactly what I said."
Qu Miaohan nodded.
The voice was full of seriousness and dignity.
A few days later you received a reply from your husband who was far away in Xiliang.
"Madam, this old slave is ashamed. He thinks he doesn't read much, but he knows some history."
"Madam, every time a soldier goes to the battlefield, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable, but we are also human beings, and we worry about ourselves and our families. We worry about how we can take care of ourselves before we are injured; we worry about who will take care of our families before we die."
But seeing that the master was not only not pleased but listening attentively, was a small comfort in my heart.
Speaking of which, I chuckled,
Qu Miaohan took a deep breath, and the light in her eyes danced wildly.
"Madam, I have nothing to say. Do you know your wish or are you willing to listen?"
The empire is short of people. Steward Tian can figure it out, but no one in our other government can figure it out.
I smiled bitterly, "First of all, the national treasury seems to be short of money now."
"Madam, as the saying goes, everything without its advantages has its disadvantages, and vice versa."
Speaking of this, the old housekeeper shook the newspaper in his hand with emotion.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and as the saying goes, you can make jokes. Now I will publish all the military and political affairs that will be implemented in the newspaper and accept the supervision of the people in heaven. This means that whatever will happen in the past will be implemented one by one."
"Our new Majesty..."
Anyone who doesn't want to know can't get the details from newspapers at any time.
"At the same time, Your Majesty is also trying to win over the morale of the army. Because the injured soldiers will remember your Majesty's bad deeds, and those who have not been injured will also remember your Majesty's bad deeds. To a certain extent, although Your Majesty has not gone to the frontier
Or the army may station fewer imperial envoys or supervisory troops, but it can still firmly control all the troops that the empire does not have."
While she was reading, the voice of the old housekeeper rang in her ears.
Before the long ceremony, amid the loud congratulations of the ministers, the Zongling of the Zongren Mansion held the emperor's crown in his hand and put it on Ren Ning's head, officially becoming the 80th emperor of the Yunchui Empire.
Qu Miaohan was silent for a while.
At the end you let out a long sigh.
The old housekeeper glanced at Qu Miaohan.
"Speaking of which, you have really thought about the role of newspapers. Now that Uncle Tian said it, it really doesn't make much sense. It's just that..."
laugh.
"From your point of view, the departments newly established by Your Majesty seem to have no use other than a waste of money from the treasury."
"It is indeed lacking."
I will no longer be afraid of my husband or son on the border as before.
For a time, except for the hundreds of central army generals' mansions that were guarded by the Forbidden Army and Jinlin Guards, everyone in the other mansions gave instructions and silently leaned towards the new emperor.
Qu Miaohan's eyes widened after hearing this, and he nodded heavily after a while.
"It doesn't matter, the empire has declined. At least the barbarians of the past seven weeks dare to twirl the tiger's beard again. Those of us who are military subordinates can sleep more peacefully at night..."
In the letter, Tian Hongyan reminds you that you must listen to and consider the opinions of the old housekeeper when making a decision.
Now that Ren Ning is in power, his life story and the program he plans to implement are even directly printed in newspapers and spread throughout the world.
It seems that the current state treasury is full, but not even part of the contribution of our general's palace.
Of course, these private meetings are a big deal to win over people, so they have to be put away quietly.
well.
The two of them expressed their feelings about the treasury, and the old butler continued.
"Uncle Tian," Qu Miaohan looked up from the newspaper, her expression less confused, "What exactly does he want you to read?"
At the same time, the Temple of Prayer to Heaven.
Yunchui had been fighting in those years, and the number of veterans who were injured, disabled or died was extremely small.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
"And... once the programs under the newspaper are realized, the empire's national and military strength and national cohesion will probably reach an awesome low point."
Era: Taixi
"Another example is the abolition of corvee..." The old housekeeper then elaborated on the other plans in the newspaper.
Another example is that Jia Zhen abolished the corvee that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years in one fell swoop. In the past, whenever we requisitioned the common people and the court, we had to pay us real money.
"Madam, do you want to say that your Majesty's move seems to be cutting off your own path?"
"Now as long as Your Majesty spends money carelessly, even if the Ministry of Household Affairs collects annual taxes in the past few years, I am afraid that Minister Qian will easily be able to come up with a small amount of money."
"Now that His Majesty has promised in the newspaper to take care of all the injured, disabled and dead soldiers, it will save us from worries in the future. The soldiers on the front and rear lines will be more courageous in fighting the war and fight against the enemy."
However, the empire has a vast territory, and there are countless various projects built every year. All of them must be paid for, and it is probably a bottomless pit...
"Tian Bokuang, help the young general. Your feelings for the general's mansion can be learned from time to time. There is nothing to say, but it is harmful to say it."
"What Uncle Tian said is absolutely true. Those silver coins are worth it."
The old housekeeper dared to agree, but the other party was the master, so he had to sigh secretly in his heart.
The Imperial Medical Department was established, the Management Office for retired and deceased soldiers was established, and...
"In the past, every time a new emperor ascended the throne, most of the military and political arrangements to be implemented were issued through imperial edicts or six ministries. However, the empire was vast and communication was blocked, and often only a few people could see it. The vast majority of the people never knew the name of the new emperor throughout their lives.
And the title of the reign, not to mention its policy agenda..."
"Madam, the ancient sages did not say that if a person has faith, he will be established, if an industry has faith, it will prosper, and if a country has faith, it will decline."
————
For example, the wounded enter the Death Soldier Management Department.
"For example, what you just said about the empire supporting disabled and sacrificed veterans and their families has nothing but a waste of money. The old slave does...not everyone has the same view."
"What Madam said is absolutely true."
Jia Zhencong was stunned and stared at the newspaper for a long time before nodding slightly.
A rough calculation shows that the amount of silver required is probably an astronomical figure.
The clear sky reflected the solemnity of the palace above.
She knew that the housekeeper would not make random mistakes, so she quickly read it carefully.
The old housekeeper nodded slightly.
"Uncle Tian, let's talk carelessly."
"Thank you, Madam," the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the support of the soldiers at the bottom, even if these young army generals or guarding generals have no other ideas, they may have to think twice before moving forward.
Qu Miaohan frowned, but nodded eagerly.
After saying that, I hesitated slightly.
"Madam is right." The old housekeeper also sighed.
Not to mention the dead, these disabled veterans are of no use except eating and drinking Lazarus, yet Your Majesty is actually prepared to support us and our families until we die.
"But from the old slave's point of view, Your Majesty now has the entire empire in his hands, and there is no need to worry about whether those programs can be implemented."
What he did is to dare to say that there are those who came before him, but there are definitely those who come after him.
Qu Miaohan's face did not stiffen, and she nodded with a wry smile.
