"Unsustainable?" Huang Song raised his head in surprise (Read the full text of The Legend of Time Traveler).
Huang Yuandu leaned back in the chair again to make himself more comfortable, and then said, "You took over Dark Eagle for a short time, and you just focused on a few actions. I didn't let you handle the expenses. There are some things
Of course you don’t know."
"The Jiangnan family's support of me and Dark Eagle is not free. I have given them many benefits over the years. I handed over the rights to Daqi's salt mines and let them run them. When promoting officials, we must also favor them."
To be honest, even though I hold the position of prime minister and have unlimited glory, sometimes I feel like a puppet, kidnapped by these people and become a tool for their profit." Speaking of this, Huang Yuandu was both angry and helpless.
Huang Song looked very horrified. He also knew a little about his father's relationship with major families, but he didn't expect his father to speak so straightforwardly and thoroughly.
"The loss of wealth and power is not a good thing for Daqi. In recent years, the hands of everyone have been stretched longer and longer, from the initial salt mine to now grain, silk, banks, wine, tea, etc.
, the appetite of these big families is getting bigger and bigger, and they want to control Daqi
They also thought that I could reduce their taxes and use their people. I had little room for resistance, so I could only appoint some officials according to their requirements and formulate corresponding national policies." Huang Yuandu looked very lonely, "I am not willing to do so.
In order to suppress these big families, I
Although many officials were promoted, they also used Dark Eagle's information to punish many low-level corrupt officials. Most of these corrupt officials were from wealthy families or were trained by wealthy families. However, these low-level corrupt officials were only limited to counties.
Order, the highest
I am the governor of a governor, but I dare not act rashly towards the ministers or even the central officials of the imperial court. Why is this? It is not to avoid completely turning against these people! Fortunately, there was no big trouble along the way. But this
After all, it’s not a long-term solution!”
For some of his father's methods, Huang Song used to be like seeing flowers in the fog, but now he has become clearer. In the first two years of Pang Ying's accession to the throne, his father took advantage of the crisis of the prime minister to clean up the center and straighten out the local affairs, which made some political opponents
He left the field sadly. After that, he disappeared.
The actions he took to depose were only some minor officials such as county magistrates. Dealing with these corrupt low-level officials also helped my father gain some reputation, and he was even hailed as a bright prime minister by both the government and the public. In fact, my father was taking advantage of his own
Means to compete with the big families.
As for the major families, Huang Song also thought about it secretly in his mind (the latest chapter of the Guardian's Journey).
The Huang family was just an ordinary wealthy family in the countryside. Huang Yuandu could barely afford to go to school. However, after high school, he married the daughter of the Bao family, a big family. The Bao family was also one of the big families in Jiangnan.
Lu owns land with a radius of hundreds of miles and also operates the tea industry. More than half of the tea industry operations north of the Yangtze River are controlled by the Bao family.
Other large families should include the Ji family represented by Ji Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Xu family represented by Xu Yinshun, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Zhu Zhihua, the supervisory censor, is the son-in-law of the Dong family, and naturally represents the Dong family. Hou Wenxian, the pacifier of Shandong Road
The Hou family represented is the Wei family to which Wei Buzhou, the former chief professor of Jiangning Academy of Literature, belonged, and so on.
In the industry and commerce of the scholar family, merchants have always been at the bottom of the business and are often looked down upon by the scholars. However, business profits are huge, especially the low business tax rate in Daqi, which allows merchants to make money. Therefore, several big families all own thousands of hectares of fertile land.
And control the business
Industry. The many officials in Da Qi are represented by these big landowners and big merchants. Salt and iron have been monopolized by the state since ancient times. In Da Qi, although it is still government-run in name, it is actually controlled by big families.
This resulted in the economic "Tai'a reverse".
Of course, there are more than just these big families. These big families are intertwined, with both fighting and alliances. Huang Yuandu also used the conflicts between these big families to check and balance them. Otherwise, just killing a few low-level officials would not be enough to deter them.
Live in these wealthy and powerful families.
Huang Song was thinking secretly when he saw his father leaning his head on the back of the chair and rubbing it constantly, looking exhausted both mentally and physically. He quickly said, "Father, it's getting late. You might as well have someone pass the meal over. Let's use it first."
Some food."
"Okay, you can have someone pass it over. We'll eat here today. By the way, add some meat and vegetables and a bottle of wine."
Huang Song responded quickly and turned around to go out. Since the conversation between father and son was too confidential and there was no one around to wait on him, Huang Song had to do it himself.
After a while, several vegetables were put on the table. Sisters Huang Yue, Huang Song, and even Huang Ping and Huang Ting lived a luxurious life (the latest chapter of Bad Eight Road). But Huang Yuandu himself was very simple. A plate of tender milk tofu
, a plate of shredded pork and green bamboo shoots, a Changchun fish that was more than a foot long, and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. As for the additional meat and vegetables, it was a plate of stir-fried beef. Huang Yuandu was very careful and took his son into consideration, so he added another one.
This plate.
The wine is a sunken flower carving, and the tin jug is put into a jar filled with hot water.
Huang Song knew that his father had not finished speaking, so he kicked out the maid who was serving the meal, and personally arranged the dishes and chopsticks for Huang Yuandu. He also tried the lid of the tin pot with his hands and found it was a little hot, so he took out the wine pot.
I filled my father's glass with wine, straightened his chopsticks, and then carefully sat down at his desk.
Eating together with his father is not an easy task. Huang Yuandu was the prime minister and was extremely dignified. When everyone in the Huang family saw him, they did not dare to breathe, let alone eat together. Fortunately, Huang Yuandu was busy with state affairs.
He rarely dines with his family. Even so, the eldest brother Huang Yue rarely goes back to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Instead, he spends the night in two courtyards near the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After everything was ready, Huang Yuandu opened his eyes. He first ate a piece of soft tofu, and then drank a glass of wine. He took a deep breath and his face became rosier.
Huang Song stood up and filled his father's bowl, then sat down again but did not move the chopsticks.
"You can also use some. You and I, father and son, can eat and talk as you please!"
Huang Song said "yes" again, then picked up a bamboo shoot and put it into his mouth.
"Having said so much to you, you also understand the current situation. Our Huang family has foreign beetles and juniper tigers watching covetously, and many people inside are pressing closer. On the surface, everything is calm, but secretly, there is a turmoil. How can we do this under such a situation?
Don't do it carefully. As the Dark Eagle is a great weapon of our Huang family, we should think before and after everything and be considerate."
Huang Yuandu's words were serious. Huang Song knew that his father was trying to beat him up. However, he still stubbornly believed that commanding two groups of dark eagles to chase Song Zheng was reckless, but he did not regret it.
"The current Holy King is already fourteen years old. In a few years, he will be in charge (the latest chapter of Wasteland). Looking at it now, although the Holy King is not an unparalleled king, he is definitely not a mediocre person. In this dynasty,
There are still some deep-rooted forces between the Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace, and neither supports Pang Hui.
, do not support the Prime Minister's Office, but are only loyal to the Emperor. What they are waiting for is the Emperor's personal administration. By then, the situation will be more complicated. In the past two years, Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Division have been fighting endlessly. Why has it not been the case in the past year?
Stop? It’s not because Pang Hui is aware of this just like the rest of us.”
Huang Yuandu spoke very clearly, purely because he wanted to clear his son's mind. Huang Song is a smart man, and he still doesn't know who his father is talking about.
The current emperor Pang Ying is of course the grandson of Huang Yuandu and the nephew of Huang Song. However, he is also the nephew of Pang Hui, and was even adopted by Gaozong to Pang Hui. Why did Pang Hui become the most powerful prince in the history of Qi? More
Does he enjoy the title of prince exclusively? It’s not because the emperor treated him as his son!
The emperor was close to Pang Hui, and he was also close to Huang Yuandu. If he was close to both his enemies, he would not be close to either of them.
Thinking about the chaotic and complicated situation, Huang Song had a headache and felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire. If he didn't move, he would sink down, but if he moved, he would sink faster. He couldn't help but look up at his father, trying to figure out what to do.
He will find the answer there.
After Huang Yuandu drank another half of the cup, he said, "I had anticipated today's predicament earlier. Do you know why I advocate Neo-Confucianism so vigorously? Neo-Confucianism pays attention to the destiny of mind and takes it as the way. Who is the destiny? Only the Holy One,
Only the emperor
The empire is where destiny lies. Whether it’s a soldier or a scholar, if everyone believed in Neo-Confucianism, there would be fewer duplicitous traitors, and even those who covet the country’s weapons. Neo-Confucian scholars are actually a good way to govern the country!” Huang Yuandu’s voice gradually became a little louder.
Got taller.
Huang Song looked like he was thinking. It turned out that his father strongly advocated Neo-Confucianism, a kind of Neo-Confucianism, not only because he believed in it, but also because he saw in it a potion that could eliminate the hidden dangers of Daqi.
"Serving the country loyally to the emperor and serving the emperor Yao and Shun is what we should do." Huang Yuandu patted the table, "However, the redundant army of the Qi Dynasty cannot be defeated, and there are treacherous sycophants who peek at the treasure. This is a big trouble. All the big families compete with the country for profit.
, competing for profits with the people, amassing wealth, and not caring about the people, this is a serious trouble. If these two troubles are not eliminated, how can we be worthy of Daqi and the position of prime minister and assistant (read the full text with the wind)."
Huang Song was stunned. He didn't expect his father to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words. If this was the case, why did he help Wanyan Yudu in the first place in order to lure the enemy south? Why did he join forces with Pang Hui to kill the late emperor and the prince? Is this right?
Is it an act of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country?
Did his father mean to say that in front of him? Huang Song secretly shook his head again. It seemed that there was no need for his father to do this to each other as a father and son? Suddenly, Huang Song remembered the incident four years ago.
At that time, Huang Song brought back the first part of King Lu's secret collection from Maling Lake, and reported it to his father Huang Yuandu, verifying and killing the former princess and the former head of the inner palace Gao Ling. Huang Yuandu was silent at that time and was not very happy. In the end, Huang Yuandu
He just praised himself for doing a good job in dealing with Song Jue.
With Huang Yuandu's decisive character in killing, the Song family should be exterminated to completely eliminate the danger. Huang Song also thought about it repeatedly and decided that Song Jue did not know about it, so he kept him. Huang Yuandu only praised Huang Song for preserving the Song family.
, but never mentioned the matter of raising Ling and the former princess, which is really strange.
Huang Song was completely confused by this, but Huang Yuandu turned to another side.
"To deal with major or serious dangers, the only way to break the situation is to extend military power. Only by controlling most of the military power can Pang Hui not make any changes, and can he successfully dismantle a large number of sergeants. Similarly, only by holding military power can we
Break away from the fetters of everyone in the south of the Yangtze River. Jointly promote Neo-Confucianism in the world and gather scholars, we can straighten out the government, make the country rich and the people strong!"
"By then, we can raise troops and gold, march into Guanzhong, and annihilate the Shu Kingdom. We can hope to do so!" Huang Yuandu clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in mid-air!
(It turned out to be very confusing and confusing. Although Lao Gu did not do a good job of burying pitfalls, he still filled in a few pitfalls in these chapters, not only to clear up confusion, but also to clarify the context of the book. In addition,
