The new dynasty was first established, and everything was in trouble. There were so many things that needed to be dealt with in the face.

The army was reorganized, the official system was rectified, the new laws were formulated, the currency was unified, the price was settled, the land was cut off and households were cleared, the yellow book was reorganized, the production was resumed, and agriculture was developed... Every piece needs to be solved urgently, and no one could be delayed.

However, it has been nearly half a month since the various edicts were issued, but the implementation of the new policy still has little effect. Han Duan found that it was indeed a wrong decision to appoint a large number of officials from previous dynasties.

Officials are corrupt and do not do practical things but only talk about simple talk. If they do not eliminate these accumulated corruptions drastically, the prosperity of the country will always be a delusion.

"Corruption and abuse of power, and commit favoritism and fraud! Once you take responsibility, you will do your best to shirk responsibility and excuses. If you make a contribution, you will rob him. If you make a mistake, you will reject the interests of the people. If this continues, the country will not be in power!"

"The words are mysterious and not pragmatic, the officials are elegant and far away from doing things, the person is open-minded and unpretentious, and the mysterious is false, and the matter is not pragmatic, this trend cannot be long!"

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the trend of pure talk has spread almost the entire officialdom. Most upper-level officials do not do anything, but are in high positions but have no place to eat, only seeking pleasure but not taking responsibility, and pushing all political affairs to the minor officials below to handle. These minor officials have real power and no one supervises the above, so you can imagine how they act.

"A clean talk will ruin the country, and hard work will make the country prosperous!" Han Duan's loud voice resounded throughout Tai Chi Dongtang. "From today, anyone who is not diligent in his duties will be eliminated no matter how many ranks he holds."

"As soon as officials who are corrupt and abused and privately taught to others, they will be immediately handed over to the Ministry of Justice to punish them. Mr. Chu and Mr. Fan, you will first formulate the relevant laws."

The scholar Chu Jie and the minister of the Shangshu deleted Dinglang Fan Quan presided over the revision of the new "Da Ming Law". When the two heard this, they immediately left the list to agree.

Han Duanhe said: "The Shangshu Province also needs to come up with relative regulations, and the Ministry of Personnel will re-evaluate officials. Those who are capable will go up, those who are mediocre will go down, and those who violate the law will never tolerate them."

"Shu Yan Zhongshu, you will preside over this matter. Be sure to make the administration clear and clear in the shortest time, otherwise there will be a backlog of political affairs. I will only ask you at that time."

"Whether matters involving the law are involved, Jin Tingwei must cooperate with all the ministers and do not slackew!"

Jin Shi bowed and said.

"I obey the order!"

Yan Youyuan stepped out and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have been checking the three provinces and the Jingzhao prefectures during this period and found that there are quite a few officials who have been in the position of corpses, but if they are all removed, the Caofu Office of each department will face a situation where no one can be available."

"It will take some time for the imperial examination to be selected, and the newly enrolled students cannot be used immediately, but the duties of Cao Cao in each department are indispensable for a day."

"So, I would like to draw some generals who know the text and write from the army to enrich the departments to ensure that the new policy can be implemented smoothly!"

The Han family's army led the middle and lower-level generals can basically read and write documents. There is no problem with being a middle and lower-level official in various ministries. After Han Duan pondered for a moment, he nodded and agreed to Yan Youyuan's request.

"Jizhi, Changtai, you will assist the Secretary of the Central Committee in this matter." Han Duan called Bu Sengnian and Zhang He's words, "In addition, the government army cooperated with the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the population matters. We must also come up with a plan together by the Minister of the People's Republic of China, and make sure that there is no problem!"

Both of them came out and bowed, and Han Duan asked again: "How is the defense change in Xiakou, Hedong and other places along the river going on now? Did the Zhou army on the other side have any actions?"

Zhang He also worked as the Minister of the Five Soldiers, and the army was mobilized, the deployment of defense and replacement were all within his jurisdiction. At this moment, Han Duan asked a question, and he quickly replied: "The defense has been changed, and it turns out that the soldiers garrisoned are being reorganized."

"The Zhou army transferred thousands of troops from Xiangzhou to Jiangling, and there was no abnormal movement."

Han Duan said in a deep voice: "As long as they go beyond the river, I will ignore it for the time being."

This time the Ming Dynasty was founded, Han Duan ordered people to send letters to Qi and Zhou according to the etiquette, and invited the two countries to visit the ceremony, but the two countries did not send envoys to congratulate him, which made Han Duan quite angry. If it were not for the country's stability, he would have wanted to launch an army to fight the northern expedition immediately.

When it comes to domestic affairs, things are not smooth sailing.

After Han Duan ascended the throne, he issued an edict to Jiang, Ba, Ying, Feng, Xiang, Wu, Cheng, Guang, Gao, etc., the prefectures and counties under the former Chen Dynasty ordered them to surrender. However, so far, only Jiangzhou, Yingzhou, Bazhou counties and Hedong County submitted their support.

Remote prefectures and counties such as Fengzhou (now Fuzhou, Fujian), Guangzhou, Chengzhou (now Fengkai County, Guangdong), Gaozhou (now Yangxi area in Guangdong), and it is understandable that they failed to submit their concessions in time, but Wuzhou and Xiangzhou counties have not heard of their response so far, and their thoughts are self-evident.

"The Secretariat issued another edict, ordering the prefects of Xiang, Wu and the county magistrates and magistrates to come to Duzhong to attend the Zhengdan ceremony before January. If the expiration is not reached, the troops will be sent to Hunan and Wu immediately after the beginning of next spring!"

After dealing with the most important matters of administration, selection of talents and reorganization of the army, Han Duan then asked about the matter of minting coins.

The chaos and inadequacy of coins have had a great impact on commercial trade. It has become an urgent task to uniformly issue new currencies, replace various bad coins and barter.

What's more, minting coins is an extremely profitable thing.

"Your Majesty, the newly cast coins have come out." Niu Xin, who had just been promoted to the Minister of Works of the Minister of the Ministry of Works, took out a gift from his arms, stepped forward and presented it with both hands.

Han Duan took the tip and poured more than ten sample coins in it onto the table, then picked up a gold coin to watch it carefully.

Copper coins are not suitable for bulk transactions. As long as they involve more than 100,000 yuan in transactions, the required coins must be carried by a car, which greatly restricts the business. Therefore, this time, Han Duan specially asked Niu Xin to mint gold and silver coins.

Due to insufficient copper materials, he also prepared cast iron coins and replaced the copper coins of a penny. All the copper coins were cast as five major coins, which could save copper materials and make a profit from them.

Emperor Wu of Liang used iron to mint coins at the beginning of the founding of the country, which led to the rampant private minting of "scarce coins" among the people and soaring prices.

The key reason why Han Duan dared to use money to mint coins is to use hydraulic stamping technology.

The coins stamped with models are blurred and have poor texture and are very easy to forge, while the coins stamped with hydraulic presses are clear and look very exquisite. There is a big difference between the two at a glance, and counterfeit coins have no room to survive.

The newly minted coins have clear and exquisite handwriting, which makes people love them at a glance.

A newly minted gold coin weighs eight coins (about twenty-five grams), and is used as ten thousand coins, and the silver coin weighs nine coins, with a face value of two thousand coins.
