Chapter 1822 The heat is almost over(1/2)
Within two days, Cheng Chuliang and Li Siwen led 500 imperial guards out of Chang'an and prepared to suppress bandits along the canal. The main reason is that the canal generation is relatively chaotic, but the problem is that this generation is the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, the population is concentrated here, and taxes are also concentrated here, so the robbers are also concentrated here, which is also the main road in the north and south, and the radiation range is very wide. Whoever goes to Lingnan to rob for robbery for no reason can find a person in a long time. You don’t need to rob the orchard in Guangzhou. You can pick it to your heart's content. How much can you get?
However, the imperial court claimed to be five thousand imperial guards. Anyway, bragging is not illegal, and Han Yi doesn't even brag to death. At the same time, he asked these imperial guards to carry a large number of Tang Daily newspapers, and anyway, they would just scatter along the way.
This issue of the Datang Daily officially announced the reduction of taxes for most prefectures and counties next year. The delaying plan at the beginning was just saying that the government was not allowed to collect taxes, but did not say that it was formally reduced. Instead, Han Yi announced that it would officially reduce taxes for one year. Li Zhi had no objection because it could not be collected.
Also, we must crack down on those robbers and smugglers, and these people are harming the country and the people.
Of course, the main thing is to brag about yourself. Chang'an has stabilized and the crisis is about to pass. Brother Han is full of mighty and domineering and unstoppable. I'll ask if you who commit crimes are afraid.
Ministry of Personnel!
"What are you doing?"
Han Yi came to the Ministry of Personnel, and without saying a word, he questioned Cui Jieren, Lu Shi Gua, Di Renjie and the others.
Di Renjie wondered: "Isn't the Shangshu Ling asking us to streamline officials?"
"That's just the official statement." Han Yi looked at him with a dark face, "I repeatedly remind you that you can draw circles, but because I'm in a hurry, I can draw hundreds of circles, and I can only do it for an hour by myself. You have been working so many of you for so long."
Wang Xuandao said speechlessly: "It's really a circle!"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Do you think I have time to joke with you at this time?"
Ren Zhigu said aggrievedly: "But it's only been a few days."
He only slept for two hours a day now, and he was really working day and night, and you were not satisfied.
Han Yi asked, "Do you know how many people died in the past few days? Do you want me to report a number to you?"
Di Renjie argued with reason: "Can we not die if we complete it in one hour? I think these are two things?"
Han Yi snorted: "Who told you that these are two things? Now the policy of streamlining officials has been announced. This list cannot be released. Which official is in the mood to work? Now the court is employed. Do I have to do everything? I can't do even if I have three heads and six arms! Moreover, the country currently needs money, so I have to collect all the officials' land and property. Are you sure that these are two things?"
Di Renjie stopped talking.
Now you are the boss, you can make sense no matter what you say.
Cui Jieren looked at Han Yi with a little confusion and thought to himself, why is he so anxious to streamline the officials? Oh, I understand, these things were all done by him, and he must have a way to end them, but he has not taken them out. He was afraid that if he rescued them, and when the queen and the others came out, the matter might turn yellow, so he was so anxious. So he said, "Give us another three days, and we will definitely finish it within three days."
"This is what you said. If it is not completed within three days, you can just circle your name. Oh, you don't need to say goodbye to me then, I don't have time."
Han Yi glared at them, then turned around and went out, leaving them with a very majestic and domineering back.
After leaving the Ministry of Personnel, Han Yi went to the Ministry of Revenue again.
"The data you want has been counted."
As soon as Han Yi arrived, Zhang Daxiang immediately handed over the workshop information that the court had.
"It's better for me to do things to relieve myself. Just those young people like Cui Jieren are really unreliable." Han Yi felt very comforted with the information.
Zhang Daxiang couldn't help but remind him: "They seem to be older than you."
"If you want to compete with me, then what are they doing in the world?" Han Yi snorted.
Zhang Daxiang's face froze. He was older and felt very uncomfortable!
Han Yi took the information and searched it. After half an hour, he took out a stack of information from it and placed it on the table, saying, "Hurry up and ask someone to draft a notice. If someone is willing to take over these workshops, as long as they are guaranteed to operate for one year, the workshop will be given to them for free, and we will send professionals to guide them and help them sell goods."
Zhang Daxiang seemed to have not heard it clearly, and he tilted his ears: "Send it to them?"
Han Yi nodded.
Zhang Daxiang quickly picked up the information and looked at it. Although it was not all small and medium-sized workshops, it was all money. He immediately said, "How can this work? This was bought by the imperial court at the beginning, and some of them were newly built. Now the imperial court is so short of money."
Han Yi said: "I know, but now these things are empty there, how can they help? If you don't even have food to eat, will you still care that this house is built with money? Moreover, we cannot stop without thinking of a way to fundamentally solve these problems. We must keep releasing good news, giving the people confidence, and letting the people believe in the court. Only when we find a solution will the people obey our arrangements."
Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it now."
.
Feng Feilou!
"Comfortable! It's so comfortable! Use a little more, oh--it's right here, ah---it's great!"
Han Yi was lying on the lounge chair, closing his eyes and moaning, while behind him was a stunning beauty with delicate hands, kneading his shoulders.
This beauty is Gu Qingcheng.
"Qingcheng, you are really omnipotent. You are better than the maids in the Xiao Mansion. They are very professional!"
Han Yi praised.
Gu Qingcheng said expressionlessly: "You said that because the maid from Xiao's house is not here."
Han Yi opened his eyes and said, "Women should be stupid, so that men's lies will make women happy."
Gu Qingcheng said lightly: "Women think so too."
Han Yi laughed.
Gu Qingcheng asked again: "Will those articles be written later?"
"Of course I have to write, I can't stop this!" Han Yi said.
Gu Qingcheng said curiously: "Why?"
Han Yi said: "Can I believe you?"
Gu Qingcheng said: "I don't have the final say."
"Okay! I believe you once." Han Yi sighed: "Actually, I know that you feel disgusted when you blow like this every day."
"No!"
"Your maid said you can't even eat."
"!"
Han Yi smiled and said, "But I have no choice. This is actually just my delaying strategy. I really have no way to solve this problem at the moment. But if I do nothing, the people will lose confidence in me, which will make things worse. I can only brag about the court so that the people will have confidence in us."
Gu Qingcheng asked: "You are so smart, you really have no way to do it?"
Han Yi sighed: "I am very smart, and I agree with this, but the problem is that Li Yi Mansion is a little too big. The central government has no money, and the local governments are closed. Even if I want to collect taxes, no one will help me collect it. I won't change money. Oh, I'm so exhausted!"
Gu Qingcheng said: "But I think you feel relaxed."
Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "That's all for others to see. If I look sad every day, then everyone knows that I have no idea. Are you so smart, do you have an idea?"
Gu Qingcheng said: "I am a woman, where did I get the idea!"
Han Yi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then press it for a while, maybe it will inspire me."
But no matter what, Han Yi’s policies still play a positive role.
After the Ministry of Revenue posted the notice, the small workshops were immediately snatched by many merchants and landlords.
After all, the trend has changed now. Han Yi has returned and Li Yifu and others have been under house arrest. Everyone knows that Han Yi's consistent policy is to value merchantism, so this workshop is not money. As long as you recruit all the people and give them a bite of food, then this workshop will be given to you. This is a low-cost investment and is definitely worth a bet. Not only merchants, but also landlords and some officials have begun to take action, because these workshops are small workshops with less than 50 people, and they can afford it, especially officials, who are facing an unemployment crisis.
This is actually a bet on the future policy direction. With the current situation, it is not cost-effective to acquire workshops.
It means that the unemployed refugees in the city have been missing again, and the people are more confident.
At the same time, the work of streamlining officials has been completed, and the military is actually faster, because Li Ji took the lead and canceled all his grandsons' positions and all their benefits were exempted. Qi Bi He Li and the others also did this. They knew that as long as the country recovered, their descendants would still have a chance to come back.
Because the military has laid off those young men, and even those second generations, no one who has made any contributions has been moved, because these young men are all controlled by them, and Li Ji has laid off his grandson. The parents of those people don’t say much, and they will not lose their hearts even if they lay off them. If all the generals and officials who have made contributions in the army are laid off, the morale of the army may be in chaos. I am here to help you make up for the leaks, and you have laid off me, and no one will do their best.
Of course, the highlight of this is the civil officials, because the increase in officials in recent years mainly comes from civil officials. Wu Meiniang was involved in the varied world, and thousands of officials were added at once.
But there are still mountains high. Han Yi is even more cruel than Wu Meiniang. He instantly cut thousands of officials, which is unprecedented. Li Shimin was not so arrogant at the time. It was a very long process for Li Shimin to streamline officials at that time. He was a very long process, and he took the best in various assessments. Cui Jieren and others rely entirely on their own impression to select officials who remained in office. No assessment is needed. Therefore, they are all doing things with guilt because it is absolutely unfair.
But now that tens of millions of people are displaced, this is fair in comparison.
Han Yi himself didn't even look at it. Anyway, the number of people was right, so he asked Cui Jieren to take the list to show Li Zhi. Li Zhi just took a look and agreed. He didn't know who he had left. In fact, there were people in the Xiao family and the Yang family who were laid off.
Anyway, Han Yi asked them to draw circles, which means they can cut it.
Although the Xiao family was unhappy, mainly because they couldn't get over the face, they did not go to Han Yi to make trouble. After all, Han Yi was the Shangshu Ling and the number one person in the dynasty. The power alone was greater than Li Ji, because there were many generals in the military, and it was not Li Ji who had the final say, but Han Yi alone had the final say in administrative terms. Moreover, some of their grandsons were taken to the northwest by Han Yi to be an official, and they were not implicated. They were also waiting at home and would talk about it later.
Li Zhi no longer cares about talents. So many talents have become like this. He is already discouraged by talents, and he is not afraid that Han Yi will take the opportunity to consolidate his power, because Han Yi is only Zhang Daxiang in the North Korea, and he has laid off so many people in such a short time. If he wants to take the opportunity to win people's hearts, he has no time. Besides, Han Yi has never seen it.
Moreover, Han Yi cut off officials under the fourth rank and the important ministers must be the emperor. Han Yi still has this measure, but almost all the third rank ministers were under house arrest.
When the notice was posted, the entire officialdom suddenly burst into wail!
This is simply comparable to a political atomic bomb.
Many people complain about injustice and feel that they are very wronged. I am so conscientious, dedicated, loyal to the emperor and the country, and get up early and go to bed late, you actually laid off me. This is really unfair.
If you continue to hit this stick, no matter whether you are a capable minister, a loyal minister, a treacherous minister, or a slander, you will definitely be hit. This is impossible to be hit. The attack area is too wide and it is completed in a very short time.
Luoyang is even more terrifying. Luoyang is going to return to the Zhenguan period. It must be calculated according to the proportion. The increase in Luoyang officials is actually higher than that of Chang'an, because Wu Meiniang originally wanted to build Luoyang into her base camp and transfer the administrative center there, but she did not transfer the officials from Chang'an to the past, so the number of officials increased a lot.
As a result, Han Yi burned it clean with a fire.
Because the official Wu Meiniang promoted just now must have a low position. Han Yi, the three giants in Luoyang, did not move any of them, but those people were not Wu Meiniang's people, they were all Li Zhi's people, and Li Feng was Li Zhi's uncle.
This notice was posted, and almost all the external forces that Wu Meiniang had built up with great effort were wiped out. As for those who had not been wiped out, they were all under house arrest. What they were about to face was not as simple as being laid off, and they would have to peel off even if they didn't die.
Li Zhi is now enduring it, first stabilizing the country, and then going to settle the score with them.
Han Yi instantly completed the reversal of Wu Meiniang. Why did Han Yi plan to go home to mourn? Even if he knew that he could not play Wu Meiniang, the power gap was too big, and he was not a god, but now, Han Yi has an absolute advantage.
As for salary and other things, they were erased and they did not mention it, and they were all reclaimed.
