"Your Majesty is very harsh to himself in the inner palace. No matter how harsh he is, he can't make much money. Why don't he put all the officials home together? Then the salary saved in a year will be quite considerable."

"No." The little emperor was a little fainted. If the official didn't want it, what did that turn out?

"Then why did Your Majesty deal with everything in detail? If that is the case, what would the prime minister and the officials of the various ministries do?" Zheng Lang pointed to the memorial as high as a hill and said.

"Li Longji handed over government affairs to Li Linfu in his later years. The country was corrupt, so I have to do it carefully?"

"Your Majesty, as the king of a country, it is wrong to stay away from government affairs. But everything is fine. Can Your Majesty handle it? Do better than officials of various ministries? I once talked to Cui Zhizhou and said that Bingji did not ask about the fights, but asked about the cow. This matter is a bit controversial. However, Cao Shen was a famous prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. Why did he drink and have fun all day long? Why was he still called a virtuous prime minister? He dispatched talents from various ministries and governed the country with Xiao He's system, so the country was safe. Your Majesty, please think about it twice, that is, Your Majesty does not consider his own body, but the people of the world need His Majesty's physical safety. It needs to be asked, but it is not what Your Majesty asked about it like this. If you go over it, I will say too much. The moderate severity is where the degree lies."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the dragon robe you are wearing is actually numb. What do the eunuchs in the palace do?" Seeing the little emperor's attitude calm, the aunt finally said boldly.

Yan Wenying felt very wronged. It was not because we didn’t persuade him or the emperor refused to listen. Does he force the emperor to put on new clothes every day? Who dares?

"Auntie, it has nothing to do with the eunuch, it's because I want to set an example."

"This..." The aunt was stuttering and unable to answer, which completely subverted her understanding.

Zheng Lang did not persuade him again. If he insisted, it would attract strong criticism from the gentlemen. They could have dozens of beautiful girls. It would be better for the emperor to have sex. They could eat delicacies and the emperor would not even eat food.

Skip again and said: "The national finances are becoming increasingly tense. If you want to resolve the national financial problems, there are only two points: one is to reduce costs and the other is to open up the source."

The little emperor liked it very much. He was about to implement some plans to reduce expenses, and said, "Tell me, what is restriction and what is open source."

"Salary saving is saving in all aspects. Not only the inner palace, but also how much can the inner palace save? One million yuan in a year can save a year, so the cost of the inner palace is very tight. But what can this million yuan be done in the Song Dynasty when this is a big Song Dynasty? However, if you want to reduce expenses, you must pay attention to the interests of all aspects, otherwise it will cause a big uproar in the world. But I have thought of several things, such as the imperial examination, where the imperial examinations come to the capital every year, and the state provides expenses, but because the country has something to do, it is often interrupted, causing a lot of waste. Can it be made a customization, one in two years, or one in three years. Except for big events, small matters must not be interrupted."

It may not be all bad things. A large number of scholars came to Beijing and the economy was more or less prosperous. However, in the future, the Song Dynasty would be very short of money... The income was not as good as losing. Therefore, from now on, we must save a lot.

"This is a good idea," Zhao Zhen said.

"Our dynasty has overlapping institutions, and officials have various divisions of rank, dispatch, official positions, titles, and food and titles. They are often subdivided into a certain official position. Some officials have more than a dozen ranks, with overlapping salaries and overlapping official positions. Not only are they redundant officials, but they are also redundant in government, which is also a waste. It was originally a good thing, but it is because of overlapping and overlapping that no powerful ministers harm the country. However, it is too corrected. But if this is not very active, and immediately slaughter them, the officials in the world will be in turmoil. But from now on, they can gradually control it and cannot continue to increase the overlap. If it is not revealed for a year, it will save another expense and improve the efficiency of political affairs."

"It's also a good idea, let's talk about it."

"For example, the rent of the host and the guest to the tenant farmers is heavy. Some tenants meet a good host and Hakka who works hard for a year, pays the rent and pays taxes after a year. Some host and the guests are harsh and the tenant farmers live a difficult life. Although the court cannot help but the population flows, most of the tenants are helpless. When they settle down, they can use their savings for a year or two years. It is inconvenient to move. In addition, there are better host and guest around, and they are far away from them, so it is impossible to farm for a while. They go around and farm for more than ten miles away. They don't have to farm, and they have to go back and forth, and they have to farm for a day. So in the end, there are refugees with nothing, and these refugees in the court cannot ignore them, which is also a waste."

Zhao Zhen was not Emperor Hui of Jin, so he would ask why he didn't eat meat. After hearing this, he frowned and asked, "If the law is established, what is the amount of forced land rent?"

"Your Majesty, you must not. The host and the guest are both good and bad. Once the law is established, in order not to arouse his host and the guest, even the good host and the guest will increase the rent. Bad host and the guest have advantages in the local area, and it is really easy to deal with regardless of the court's laws? There are too many, Your Majesty, this force is not something that Your Majesty can do."

"What should I do?"

"So I say that Confucian benevolence and righteousness are righteousness. Righteousness is based on benevolence and is the basis of benevolence. Many things rely on the Legalists will only cause more disturbances. In fact, it is not difficult to improve it. For example, like Your Majesty, a few empresses who receive ministers will receive a few or more kind-hearted hosts and guests in a year, and then ask literati to write a few articles to praise them, so that they can become role models. Once it becomes a moral standard, the world will not only be unrest, but will improve many contradictions between the host and the tenant farmers. Reducing refugees will make the country more stable and a kind of restraint. This is exactly where justice lies, and the law is the end of righteousness. It is a pity that when I said benevolence and righteousness, many people think that the minister misinterpretation of it has ruined the benevolence of Confucianism."

It was really not too much. Zhao Zhen was happy again and said, "Yes, this is the true righteousness, let's talk about it."

"The other ministers have not thought clearly yet. There are many things to think about, including the way of establishing themselves, the way to reduce expenditure and increase resources, and the troubles caused by the ministers. Therefore, I also need to think about "The Doctrine of the Mean". Now I need to take the scientific examination..." Zheng Lang rubbed his head, even if he had a cheating device, it would not work.

"Oh, take your time," Zhao Zhen said apologetically. He was still young and could not put too much pressure on him. It is not easy to be able to say these things.

"You are taking it slowly. This is a big deal. If you make a mistake in one move, you will lose all the game. Rong Chen spent several years thinking about it." Then he said, "Then I will say goodbye."

People have seen it, and they have given it to others, so it is hard for the little emperor to force him to stay.

But when Zheng Lang left, he said to Yan Wenying: "Yan Du knows that Your Majesty is a human being. If you work too much, you should be in the inner palace and serve Your Majesty with more advice. If there is really something wrong, it is too late to deal with the national affairs, and make some midnight snacks for Your Majesty to eat. Can you save clothes? Can you save them? How much can Your Majesty eat?"

The aunt pulls Zheng Lang's clothes, and they still use you to fuck him when they eat.

But it's a very problematic to eat just this one.

However, Zhao Zhen felt even warmer, and watched them go away and said, "Yan Du knows, where will I accompany me to the little lady?"

That is the Queen Mother Yang's place.

When she saw the little emperor, Empress Dowager Yang was surprised. Because of an imperial decree by Liu E before her death, Empress Dowager Yang almost took away the power of the little emperor. The little emperor was worried and was a little afraid of this little adoptive mother and rarely came to visit Empress Dowager Yang.

"Empress, today I met Zheng Juzi of Zhengzhou and several of his mothers in the imperial study."

Empress Dowager Yang understood, and only came to visit her after being touched. She sighed: "The Ai family has also heard about that son. He is a pure minister."

"Empress, I don't know the rest of my life, but I only know that his concern for me is from the bottom of my heart. He said something just now before leaving."

"What?"

"He told Yan Duzhi that if I deal with the country too late, let Yan Duzhi forcefully dissuade him. If there is really something wrong, let Yan Duzhi prepare a midnight snack and I can't let me get rid of my body."

"This is your Majesty's blessing."

"Yes," Zhao Zhen scratched his head, so gentle, but not charming. The country is wrong and he is wrong. He also advised him, but even the advice made people feel like spring breeze and warm. He also said, "It's a pity that he is too young."

I can't do anything if I want to be very useful. If a 17-year-old child is not allowed to serve as prime minister, wouldn't it be like a bigger hornet's nest?

"Zhener, don't worry, having such a minister is already a blessing, and you can't be extravagant anymore. The Ai family is worried that he will think too much and will miss the test."

"It probably won't..."

"There is nothing that can't be seen. Unexpected things often happen from time to time, so the word "accident" is the word "unexpected".

Zhao Zhen was going to scratch his head again. He could open a small back door for the palace examination and take care of it. It would be impossible to save the examination. Could it be that he would ask the examiner’s test questions at that time and notify him of the test questions?

Little Emperor, it would be a big bad thing to do this!
