Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 357 Your Majesty, The Empress Is Back
Now that Wu Yong has agreed, there will be less resistance to the next reform.

"Since the grand master also agrees with my opinion, then I will leave the affairs of the school to you."

Wu Yong nodded and said, "I am willing to serve His Majesty, but the new school must have textbooks and someone who understands natural science and technology."

For this point, Wu Tian had already thought of it.

He smiled slightly and said: "I have already ordered Brother Tang Long to cultivate materials, textbooks and teaching talents. Where are you going, tell Brother Tang Long, and I will tell you to choose the teacher of the new school. know what to do."

Wu Yong nodded and left.

Soon, the new school opened, but not many people were willing to come to learn.

Seeing this phenomenon, Wu Tian frowned slightly, and then disguised himself to mix among the scholars.

During the conversation with them, I learned that this group of scholars only wanted to be officials, and they were not interested in studying natural science at all.

To learn these things is at best to be as skilled as a craftsman, which is nothing compared to being an official and honoring one's ancestors.

After understanding the thoughts of the scholars, Wu Tian returned to the palace and issued two edicts overnight.

An edict is that anyone who has learned natural technology in the new school will be awarded a corresponding official position according to his contribution to the railway and the number of years, up to the first rank.

Another edict states that the candidates for admission to the new school are not limited to scholars. Anyone who has reached the age of [-] and aspires to serve the court, regardless of gender, can enter the new school to study, and all expenses will be borne by the court.

As soon as these two edicts came out, the entire Liang Kingdom exploded. Those who had previously dismissed the new school now wanted to enter the new school.

Those children of peasants who lived at the bottom and reached the age of [-] received the news, immediately saw hope and signed up enthusiastically.

However, since there are only a hundred teaching talents, it cannot satisfy the tens of millions of students in Liang Guo.

In the end, 3000 people were selected comprehensively from thousands of people to study in the new school.

However, as time went on, the number of people entering the new school increased year by year, and finally exceeded one million.

Since then, a complete set of economic development system of Liang State has been completed.

In order to ensure the smooth and healthy operation of this system, Wu Tian is determined to reform the administration of officials.

If any good system does not have a corresponding monitoring system, loopholes will easily appear after decades, allowing people to take advantage of loopholes.

Liang Guo's current bureaucratic system is almost copied from the Song Empire, so it can be said that there is nothing new.

In order to maintain Liang Guo's excessive stability, he didn't correct some potential things too much.

The biggest flaw in the old bureaucratic system was that the clan held an important position in the imperial court.

In Liang's country, most of the officials in the Liangshan series occupy the first and second ranks.

But not all of these official positions are in charge. For example, the grand master is an honorary official position.

Wu Yong is still the prime minister who holds the real power.

Among the third-rank and fourth-rank official positions, the number of Liangshan clans is not as large as that of the clans left over from Liang Guo.

For example, the Li family in Tokyo occupies nearly half of the official positions among the third-rank officials, and most of them are in charge of Liang Guohuang's merchants.

After Wutian established the bank, the Li family didn't seem to come out to oppose it, but they secretly colluded with private banks, even underground banks, and competed with Wutian's bank for interests.

The Xu family in Tokyo mainly occupies the fourth-rank official and is in charge of iron mines.

The iron ore on Liang Guo's books is far lower than the reality, and the Xu family relies on this to resell the iron ore to illegal private businesses for profit.

Relying on their deep network of connections in Tokyo, these families opposed the court of the Liang Kingdom openly and secretly to seek huge profits.

Wu Tian didn't have much energy to manage them due to the attack of Liao and Wa.

Later, because of their eagerness to develop Liang's economy, they turned a blind eye to them.

Now, Liang Guo's economic development has returned to normal, far exceeding the power of the clan, Wu Tian decided to do it.

On that day, Wu Tianxia issued an imperial decree to invite the heads of the powerful clans Li, Xu and Wang in Tokyo to a banquet in the palace.

When the three masters heard that Emperor Liang invited them to the banquet, they were not to mention how happy they were. They happily changed their clothes and went to the palace.

After entering the main hall, the three masters felt that something was wrong.

He said he was inviting them to a banquet, but there was nothing in the court hall.

Just when the three masters were puzzled, many soldiers rushed in outside the door and surrounded them.

"What are you doing?"

The three masters were surprised and called out loudly.

Wu Tian walked into the court.

Seeing Wu Tian, ​​the three masters immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake I made, how will Your Majesty trick me to come here?"

Wu Tian stared at the three masters, and sneered: "You still dare to ask me. Don't you know how much money you have embezzled from Liang Guo all these years?"

The three masters glanced at each other, and the next moment they seemed to understand that Wu Tian was going to clean up their clan!

"The Li family colluded with private banks to fight against me, and the Xu family secretly sold iron ore for huge profits. As for your Wang family, you even secretly communicated with the Wa country and betrayed the information of the Liang country. You are all damned people who betrayed the interests of the country. In the past, it was because of state affairs, and there was no way to let go of it. Now that the Liang Kingdom is booming, I will never allow your clan to interfere with my grand plan and great cause."

The three masters bowed their heads and remained silent.

"But don't worry, I'm not a bloodthirsty person. Killing you and exiling your family is for the sake of our monarch and ministers, leaving behind for you."

After finishing speaking, General Wu Tian waved his hand, and the three masters were pushed out and killed.

Afterwards, Dong Ping led the Yulin Army to quickly surround the three families of Li, Xu, and Wang, and took down all their families.

Before the three major families could react in time, they were taken away by Wu Tian and exiled to Annan.

As for the properties of the three major families, all their properties were confiscated and entered into the national treasury.

The family confiscation officials counted the properties of the three major families, and there were a total of 3000 million taels of silver.

When seeing this number, Wu Tian was stunned.

These three big families actually have so much money!

If they hadn't been eradicated earlier, when they became stronger, Liang Guo might be in danger.

Now that the three major families are gone, and they got 3000 million taels of silver for nothing, Wu Tian can continue with his next plan, to transform the army!
Just when he was about to proceed, a little eunuch ran in, knelt down in front of Wu Tian, ​​and shouted happily: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is back!"

When Wu Tian heard that the saint had returned, his face was full of joy. He hadn't seen the saint for a year.

The last time there was news about her was half a year ago, when Mu Guiying sent a letter back from a pigeon to say that the saint had given birth to a boy.

At that time, he wanted to go to Zhenbei City to visit the saint immediately, but because the economic policy had just started, Wu Tian couldn't leave here no matter what.

It took another half a year like this.

"Where is the imperial concubine now?"

"We're about to enter town."

Wu Tian left the little eunuch and hurried to the city gate.
