"It's just that at such a young age, Jia Heng is such a talented person?" Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Facing Emperor Chongping's "eager" gaze, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, thinking about what he could say, how far he could go, and how he could say it.
Don't look at the "arrogant" look of the emperor in front of you, "You are a young man and your childish words are unbridled", but if he really believed it, he would be the most foolish man in the world.
Emperor Chongping did not urge him, he just looked at Jia Heng quietly, but even so, he exerted some kind of silent pressure on Jia Heng.
Jia Heng collected his thoughts, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please step aside."
At this point, if we don't throw out some useful information, Emperor Chongping may not be able to get through.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his expression paused and he looked at Dai Quan.
Dai Quan, the internal minister on the side, glanced deeply at Jia Heng, and waved to the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing respectfully behind the beams and curtains. For a moment, the palace maids and eunuchs retreated one after another. In the huge palace, only Emperor Chongping and Jin
Princess Yangchang and her daughter, as well as Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace.
Of course, there is no need to ask whether there is someone escorting you secretly.
As soon as Jia Heng entered the palace, he felt at least two eyes staring at him. They must have been people like Ouchi's bodyguards.
Even though he was searched when he entered the Daming Palace, did he have any weapons with him?
Seeing that Jia Heng was silent, Emperor Chongping thought again, raised his cold eyes, glanced at Dai Quan, and said: "Dai Quan, go out and have a look. If someone from the Queen comes to invite me for dinner,
Said I would be there later."
Dai Quan: "..."
A smile appeared on Old Dai Quan's face, calming the turbulent waves in Xiaxin Lake, and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave is retiring."
Emperor Chongping then looked at Jia Heng. Under his rugged and thin eyebrows, his eyes were quiet and he was about to speak.
The eldest princess of Jinyang on the side suddenly smiled and said: "Brother, is it easy for my sister to avoid you?"
Of course, this was more like a joke. In the tense atmosphere of the conversation, only Princess Jinyang, who was Emperor Chongping's sister, dared to joke with Emperor Chongping so calmly.
Emperor Chongping smiled softly and said nothing, but looked at Jia Heng with a pair of cold and calm eyes.
Although he didn't know what shocking words the young man opposite was going to say, he still asked everyone to stand back, making it so serious that it undoubtedly aroused curiosity.
Jia Heng said loudly: "Your Highness Jinyang is the eldest daughter of my Han clan. There is no need to avoid it and you should not avoid it."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the serious-looking young man with a face like a flat lake. Her heart seemed to tremble slightly, she smiled, her eyes rolled, and she finally said nothing.
Qinghe Princess Li Chanyue raised her eyes and glanced at Jia Heng, then glanced at her mother, pursed her lips, and there was a dark look in the depths of her eyes. This person... was too dangerous.
Facing Emperor Chongping's aggressive gaze, Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said in a clear voice: "There are three troubles in the country, one is the trouble from the nine sides, the second is the trouble from natural disasters, and the third is the trouble from the administration of officials. The first two are the waste of money.
There are tens of millions of them, like termites on the pillars, corroding the beams and pillars. For this great hall, no external disasters, no natural disasters, but wind, rain, frost and snow, which may come and go, make the pillars strong and stand tall despite strong winds."
When he mentioned the use of finances just now, Emperor Chongping's eyes brightened slightly, and then he started to think. Therefore, he still had to start with the lack of money.
The four words "finance and use" are nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, thinking about Jia Heng's words in his mind, but his face was noncommittal, and he said in a deep voice: "You can elaborate."
Obviously, Emperor Chongping had just regarded the young man as a prime minister who could discuss matters, so his requirements for the prime minister had naturally increased.
Therefore, although my heart is moving, my face is indifferent.
You must not only see the lesions, but also prescribe medicines, and speak to the heart of the emperor. Otherwise, you will be a useless scholar who only knows empty talk and has no understanding of affairs.
Jia Heng sighed inwardly. In fact, he really didn't want to talk about practical matters because he was not yet in a position to put forward his own political opinions.
But put aside the actual practice, in the eyes of Emperor Chongping, he was no different from those ministers. Of course, this perception was already remarkable, and it could be regarded as simplicity in the emperor's heart.
only……
Should we stop when things are good, or should we give out some useful information appropriately?
Facing Emperor Chongping's gaze, Jia Heng said loudly: "In case of troubles on the nine sides, we should prepare our troops and strengthen our armor; in case of natural disasters, we should accumulate grain reserves to prepare for famine, build water conservancy projects in counties and counties, and concentrate on crops."
The art of official governance...This is the loss of people's hearts. Extravagance is rampant, the legal system is not strict, and disciplines are not strict. Therefore, the official administration collapses, getting worse day by day. Only refreshing the official administration, strict disciplines, punishing corruption, advocating frugality,
Denouncing extravagance."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he looked at the young man across from him, his heart moved slightly, and he nodded and said, "I will take your words seriously."
Since he took office, he has deeply realized the difficulty of these three things.
Side affairs, natural disasters, and official governance are like a mess, mixed together, and the whole body is affected by one hair, and it is impossible to know where it started.
Jia Heng actually retained a lot.
It doesn’t even involve the gentry’s clearing of land and how to expand the tax base, because... it’s useless to talk about it.
In the current Chen-Han Dynasty, under the background of two-day suspension, Emperor Chongping managed to secure the throne with the support of the civil servant group and part of the Wuxun group.
How is it possible to launch an all-out war against the civilian clique?
The civil servant group is the members of the three parties that fill the court. Which one of them is not from a small or medium-sized landowner? Which one of them does not have thousands of hectares of fertile land at home?
There may be individuals who betray the class, but there is absolutely no class that betrays the class!
Reform and reform, without the courage and force of bloodshed and sacrifice, don’t even mention it!
Things have to be prioritized. Now Chen Han is like an old man who is full of diseases and entering his twilight years. Shock therapy can only make him die faster.
When can the law be reformed?
As far as Chen Han was concerned, a huge military victory was needed to protect the reform.
Start by reforming one province and one region, gathering elite soldiers, strong generals, capable ministers and officials. After the reform has achieved results, the new forces based on the new system will grow rapidly like a snowball, and then use the system to fight the system.
There is no doubt that the new system will defeat the old system like a torrent. This is an objective law.
If we attack from all sides, like spreading a huge pie, there will be only a few reform leaders, and there will be speculators mixed in to seek fame, wealth, and power.
Such a handful of dozens of people were parachuted into an old system composed of a huge old bureaucracy. If they wanted to change the law, they would either face heavy constraints or violate it.
Moreover, judging from the current impression given to him by Emperor Chongping, he is more of a paper framer, moving around.
Of course, if we cannot start over from scratch, establish a new system, and dry out the old system, there is nothing we can do except paper it.
Emperor Chongping thought of many things at once. Looking at the young man across from him, he could feel that he had many things to say, such as how to straighten the army and appease border affairs, and how to rectify the administration of officials.
Of course, if I ask again, it would be a bit harsh and would be contrary to the way of a monarch and his ministers.
These should wait until later.
Jia Heng's expression was silent and his eyes were dark. He naturally had a comprehensive plan in mind for what he said, but now was not the time to tell the emperor.
Are there soldiers in the army and soldiers in strong armor?
Since then, we have trained a new army and developed military technology.
How to build water conservancy, cultivate crops, and deal with natural disasters?
This requires utilizing the talents of a country and concentrating manpower and material resources on agricultural research.
As for rectifying the administration of officials and building a centralized, unified, authoritative and efficient supervisory system...
These are the best steps the emperor can take to integrate the resources in his hands.
Emperor Chongping looked silent and said nothing for a long time.
Seeing that Emperor Chongping was silent, the eldest princess of Jinyang took a look at the sky and said softly: "Brother, the sky is getting late, it's already midnight, and the palace gate will be locked later, why not let Jia Heng"
Emperor Chongping also recovered his thoughts, smiled, looked at the young man in green shirt, and wanted to say, "Pass the meal.", but his lips moved and said: "Let's stop talking here today, Jinyang, you take Jia Heng back.
.”
The eldest princess of Jinyang glanced at her royal brother in surprise. She originally thought that the royal brother would leave food. This was the case when she brought Chan Yue into the palace in the past.
Could it be that Jia Heng's response was wrong just now, which led to the call to the emperor's brother, but the emperor's brother was clearly smiling just now.
Emperor Chongping walked to the desk, put the manuscript of the Three Kingdoms into a wooden box, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said a few words: "This manuscript... is very good, Dai Quan."
"This servant is here." Dai Quan bowed in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty."
"Jia Heng has contributed greatly to writing the book. I will give you twenty pieces of Su Jin of various colors to commend him." Emperor Chongping raised his eyes and glanced at the young man in a straight green shirt, and said to himself, I will not reward you for giving you such a family fortune.
What, a few pieces of cloth, go back and make some nice clothes.
