People are in the court, and the queen is a faint king

Next year will be the year of founding foundations, but it will also be eventful.

Qu Hu is a precedent.

Enemy countries that have a gap with Daluo will not sit idly by.

I am very upset, now that the incident in the northwest has not passed, there is another earthquake [earthquake], if there are other disasters, she will really have a headache, maybe she will really commit a crime, if If you really have committed a crime, you will lose your face. With rare crops and refined salt, His Majesty is still powerless. If you have committed a crime, you will be incompetent and responsible. It is recorded in the history books, which is even worse than letting him go. Regardless of this kind of thing, the Northwest is still so stupid.

The dog thing brought her good news, but it also brought her corresponding troubles.

Apart from these, the only good news at present is that after a series of trials, Wei Ge, the two old men, also understood her bottom line, stopped using small tricks on her, and finally started to worry about state affairs, otherwise she would be even more annoying.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??

At this moment, the more she thinks about it, the more annoying she becomes. She wants to retreat, and doesn't want to deal with other things anymore.

"Your Majesty, I have something to play." Mu Yu stepped forward and spoke.

However, as soon as he came out, all civil and military officials' eyes lit up.

The empress's heart beat faster, her small face was expressionless and she said: "Aiqing, what do you want to play?"

"Your Majesty, I read the file of the Ministry of Industry at night, and think that the fire consumption is extremely harsh on the common people. Please reform it."

As soon as Mu Yu said this, all the officials in the court fell silent for an instant.

I understood in a blink of an eye.

How could they not know about this matter?

Just never brought it up.

This has nothing to do with the high officials of the dynasty, but it involves the interests of small officials from all over the world. Want to reform?

Difficult to get to the sky.

Is it possible to use a knife to force those ordinary officials not to do these things?This is an unspoken benefit, even the capital city has such an unspoken rule, the six-door ransack will keep some privately, other officials also have all kinds of incidental benefits, and all the officials in the world, it is a waste of money...

If Bachelor Mu dared to bring it up, wouldn't he be afraid of arousing the wrath of officials and causing the hatred of officials all over the world?

"Huo consumption? Ai Qing, let me hear it." The empress has really ignored these things in the past few years, and she has some thoughts in her heart.

 …  

"Your Majesty, I believe that if the fire consumption is assigned to the people, it will cause officials from all over the country to report more fire consumption and plunder the people, which will increase the pressure on the people and cause unspeakable suffering, which is not good for the stability of the world." Mu Yu said here, Said: "Your Majesty, you don't know what fire loss is, do you?"

"How could the lonely king not know!" The empress wanted to lose her temper at that time, this bastard really thought she was so stupid.

The face turned cold little by little, and the empress said angrily: "Wang Aiqing, is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, but this matter is difficult to control. Your Majesty, I have issued repeated orders to prohibit excessive collection, and I have cut off many heads, but... I am incompetent. I have disappointed you, Your Majesty. I can't control it." . " Dang Chao Shoufu's words made the empress's face sink slightly, and she sighed slightly in her heart.

"Since this is the case, do you have any good plans?"

"Your Majesty..." Mu Yu spoke again.

Baiguan's heart skipped a beat, there's nothing Shoufu can do?Could it be that Bachelor Mu has a solution?

It's incredible in my heart, but when I think about it carefully, the latter is a genius, so what if he has a way.

Wang Shoufu was also surprised, then smiled, and looked at the surname Mu expectantly. This, was a knot in his heart, a knot that couldn't be untied.

"What's the best way to love Qing?" The empress was delighted, the more she looked at the dog, the more she liked it, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Wang Shoufu's failure to suppress the fire consumption is not the fault of Wang Shoufu, but that this matter has been going on for a long time, not only the first assistant, but also the talents of the world. The method is wrong, no matter how much you do Nothing can be done."

Hearing what Mu Hou said, all the officials felt at ease, and couldn't help but think, Master Mu Hou is really good at talking, it's not that Wang Shoufu can't do it, but it's basically impossible, and it can only be done if there is a way to deal with it, and... ...Today, Bachelor Mu's way of thinking is different, who doesn't know?

If it was a different idea proposed by him, it could not mean that Wang Shoufu was incompetent, but that his surname Mu was too awesome, and Wang Shoufu was capable.

This made all the officials want to laugh and be convinced, because the latter is really capable and smart.

This explanation not only solves the problem, but also praises and elevates himself, without offending Wang Shoufu, and the officials are more fond of it.

"Ai Qing, what good recipe is it?"

"The ministers are also curious." Wang Shoufu smiled. He didn't care about Ben, but he didn't expect Mu Yu to consider his feelings.

"Your Majesty... I believe that the matter of fire consumption should be cut from the source, otherwise it will be useless to kill people's heads. The best way is to return the fire consumption to the public."

"Huoxiao... Guigong?" Wang Shoufu was shocked at first, and then thunder flashed through his mind.

PS: Thank you [My sword is more important than anything else] for the monthly pass, thank you Qi.

Chapter 52

"Huo consumption, return to the public..." The empress's face was slightly stiff, and she reacted suddenly, her breathing was slightly rapid, and she murmured in her heart: "So it is, so it is...Huo consumption is returned to the public, the strategy of breaking the bottom, so it is, the lonely king Why didn't you think of it before?"

Not only the empress, Wang Shoufu also sighed in his heart, why didn't he think of it before?Instead, he put all his energy into stopping and warning... instead of breaking the bottom like this.

The idea is wrong.

Sighing in my heart, fire consumption was originally intended to allow officials to have more meager income, but it has been seen for a long time that people's hearts cannot stand the test. After cutting the root, this is indeed a different way of thinking.

Baiguan also stared, as if he understood instantly.

"It doesn't seem like it's anything special... After hearing it like this, it's just like that..." A young official who had just entered the court murmured in a low voice, and then he was glared at by the old minister next to him: "What do you know, you bastard?" ? When Xueshi Mu said it, you just said that, but let you bastard go, I’m afraid you don’t even understand the matter of fire loss, and you don’t even understand the hidden disease that exists on it, so you’re still like this ..."

The old official kicked him with hatred: "You bastard, this is the thinking of the chief minister. The problem that the present chief minister can only notice at the beginning. Don't think it's a simple problem. The grand duke of the dynasty can only learn from the dossier. , guessed by clues, do you think they are the common people below? You know it well."

The young officer got it.

There are so many things in the world, and there are so many affairs. It is necessary to find out from countless complicated problems and situations. Paying attention to this problem is itself an incredible talent.

"The solution is even more inconceivable. It's nothing to say, but before you say it, who thought of it? You bastard, talk less and listen more in the future, so as not to lose your head."

The young official just didn't react, and it wasn't that he didn't understand. At this moment, his heart was already overwhelmed, and his face was shocked when he thought about it.

"Aiqing, how to cut the roots, how to return the fire to the public, you can tell Aiqing's thoughts one by one." The empress was excited in her heart, but her small face was calm and pretended not to care. Can't be too happy.

Especially in the face of someone surnamed Mu.

His heart is for the world, and he is more concerned about him than Wang Shoufu and Wei Ge. If he can't give him a little hope, if he gives him hope, he must persuade himself not to make alchemy. She must take good care of the speed of this. He will be mad at him, and he will be mad at him if he ignores him too much. You must give him some hope, but you can't let him despair of the lonely king and give up on the lonely king...

"Your Majesty..." Mu Yu didn't hide his teasing, and he was not afraid of offending all the officials in the world, causing notoriety and disaster, and said directly: "Excuse me bluntly, the fire comes from the people, causing most officials to fill their own pockets , False reporting of fire consumption and excessive tax collection have caused a heavy burden on the people. If your majesty returns the fire consumption to the public, you will demand that all future fire consumption be counted on the court, and the collection of fire consumption silver should be made public and rationalized. Turning dark harvests into clear harvests, changing chaos into regular harvests, can reduce the burden on the common people and prevent corruption of local state and county officials. It can also establish the prestige of the imperial power and weaken the local financial power."

Mu Yu made it clear that the faces of countless officials in the court were pale, and he thought that this person is really not afraid of death. How many officials would be offended by saying this, but Lord Muhou is really not afraid of death. If he is afraid of death, he will It's not Lord Mu Hou, let alone dare to scold the current sage.

And the next moment, Baiguan's eyes lit up.

Governments all over the country, secretly collecting fire consumption, only dare to secretly collect, secretly overcharge, the people complained, but the pot was all carried by the imperial court, but now it has become a clear collection, which is classified into the finance, led by the current imperial court, and made public Rationalization, rationalization, as much as it should be, the people will understand at a glance, hey, only pay so much, will not pay more, officials have no chance of corruption, if they really want to be greedy, the people will drown them in their saliva , and even complained to the capital.

The second is that the fire consumption is returned to the public, and it is useless for officials to be greedy. If they collect more, they have to be handed over to the court. There is no benefit for themselves, so why should they harm the people with no conscience?Persecution of the people, in the final analysis, is still a benefit that moves people's hearts.

"The way to love Qing is very lonely." The corner of Her Majesty's mouth is now smiling little by little, and she can't hold it back.

Because I think a lot, for example, if this matter is done, the people all over the world will breathe a sigh of relief, and they will call her Mingjun, and be grateful to her. Except for the surname Mu, who will get half of the credit and reputation, she will also get half. The disaster in the northwest, the disaster of the earthquake, all the rumors caused by His Majesty's anger against the world will all be self-defeating.

"Your Majesty, you can try it out in one place first, and then implement it all over the world. Ten percent of this will reduce the pressure on the people by thirty percent... In addition, part of the silver taels returned to the public will be taken to make up for the deficit of the national treasury, and then other public expenses will be deducted. Then give it to officials from all over the country as extra income besides the salary." Following Mu Yu's words, all the officials in the court were really convinced at this moment.

He also took a deep breath and served from beginning to end.

In the final analysis, it is not that officials are greedy for fire consumption, but the original reason is that officials from all over the country are working hard, and fire consumption is just a subsidy, and then they are greedy for taxation. The fire consumption silver subsidy that Mu Hou mentioned is, to put it bluntly, Use the fire consumption silver collected by Mingmianhua to raise wages for all officials in the world.

If it is tried out, officials from all over the country will benefit. This plan is feasible and can be easily implemented throughout the world.

Bachelor Mu, the idea is too perfect.

What they don't know is that Mu Yu is not perfect, but inevitable.

In the complementary memory given by the system.

At that time, Yongzheng was trying it out in Shanxi.

In that year, Shanxi handed in a total of 43 taels of fire consumption silver: 20 taels to make up for the shortfall, more than 9 taels as public expenses, and the rest as government-supported clean silver.Among them, magistrate-level officials received 500 to 1500 taels of Yanglian silver.

As long as it is [-]% of the trial, the officials will benefit, the court will make up for the deficit, and the people will reduce the burden. This kills three birds with one stone, why not do it?

The eyes of all the officials in the court lit up.

At this time, Mu Yu described all the details one by one, how to deal with it, how to arrange it, how to try it out, and how to distribute the benefits of the officials behind.

The more the officials listened, the brighter their eyes became.

"This plan is wonderful, and it's extremely perfect...Master Mu is really an incomparable resource, so he turned on the lamp to read at night, and after a few days of hard thinking, he became so clear. I feel ashamed." The person bowed his head to indicate.

"Wonderful...Master Mu, amazing."

"This method is good, and the people of the world have the gospel again." All the officials were very happy, and they were very happy in their hearts, and they did not hide their praise.

Mu Yu laughed, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, but then he thought about it, isn't my uncle also studying the files in the Ministry of Industry and giving tirelessly day and night?Anyway, I have done my best for Baixing in the world, so what is there to bear?The method of system rewards is not in vain.

"The fire consumption is returned to the public, so that's the case... Aiqing's way of thinking is really unique." At this time, the current empress spoke.

All officials were silent.

A smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yu's mouth.

But at this moment, the empress frowned again and said, "However, I feel that something is wrong."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Mu Yu frowned, it shouldn't be, there are no details!Could it be that the Empress really has peerless talents and can perfect this law of governing the world even more perfectly?

However, in the next second, Mu Yu knew that he was thinking too much, the dog emperor was the dog emperor, he thought too much.

Because what the dog emperor said was: "Aiqing, the lonely king thinks that it is good to go anywhere, but it is not appropriate to use surplus silver to subsidize officials. If you have this silver to take out, it is better to stay in the treasury..."

Mu Yu's eyes turned black at that moment.

The face is also black.

"It's better to keep it in the treasury and use it for the lonely king..."

As the empress talked, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she dared not speak anymore, because she saw that Lord Hou had already covered his chest below, as if he had been pissed off by her words. .

It was okay at the beginning, Lord Hou seemed to be looking forward to her, but when she was about to finish speaking later, Master Hou's handsome face had completely darkened, and she really didn't dare to say a word said.

What would she do if he really pissed him off if he continued talking?

Mu Yu really almost died of anger.

He also thought that His Majesty has some good ideas, so it turns out that the fuck is reluctant to take the money out, and you still want to save the money to make alchemy in the treasury?

Mu Yu really wanted to growl and ask, what the hell are you thinking, can you tell me, I'm really in a difficult situation...I'm just a fourth-rank member...Why are you so... ...Mu Yu, I really want to growl...

The more Mu Yu thought about it, the angrier he became.

Immediately, he couldn't help covering his chest...

Fortunately, before he came, he wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Tianjun when the empress was happy after the method of fire consumption was over, to see if the empress could persuade her to come back. Now it seems that he thought too much, and the dog emperor has not When he persuaded him, he immediately played an astonishing move, directly killing all his heart of persuading the emperor, surnamed Mu.

You advise me to be barren? You advise me! !

"Your Majesty, you can't... What Lord Mu Hou said is reasonable, the fire consumption belongs to the public, and some should be divided..." The court officials were shocked when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, it is best to deal with this matter according to Lord Mu's words..."

"Your Majesty, think twice..." All the officials persuaded him, and he was speechless. Your Majesty, you can do well and be a human being. Don't be a Bachelor of Qimu anymore. He has worked hard for Daluo, and he has spent countless efforts. I vomited an untold amount of blood, it was not easy, the moment you opened your mouth, you really wanted to piss me off to death, Scholar Mu didn't die on the exhausting road, he was pissed to death by you.

"Aiqing, you seem to be very angry..." The current empress looked at Mu Yu and said weakly.

"Your Majesty, you, please be Your Majesty!!" Mu Yu said every word, implying His Majesty!You, be a human being.

Normally, the empress would have been furious, but today she couldn't get angry, and said weakly: "The lonely king listened to Aiqing...before the lonely king just asked casually...It's fine if Aiqing disagrees, and the lonely The king will not go his own way..."

It's no wonder that Mu Yu was not angry, but hearing that the Empress was so subdued, she forced herself down and said, "Your Majesty, you know that the king makes the boat, the people make the water, and the officials make the oars. This is for the water, for the oars, and for your Majesty."

"The lonely king understands, yes, the lonely king agrees, yes." The empress said.

You know what a fart, Mu Yu was so angry, he didn't care at all when he saw the empress's appearance, but he agreed because he was afraid of being scolded because of his bad face.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Mu Yu had been planning for a long time before. He originally planned to use the words prepared in advance to persuade His Majesty to spend a little more time in the early court. If the empress could not come back, he would just twist it bit by bit. He didn't believe him. Don't come back, this stupid gentleman.

You want to make alchemy, okay, I will let you do it first, I have paid so much, you can give me a morning morning, okay, the request is not high, change from the previous half an hour to an hour.

Twisting a little bit, I don’t believe that I have the talents to govern the world, I’m extremely smart, and I’m a fourth-rank official, a transmigrator, and I’m close to the system. .

However, it was really his surname Mu who was thinking too much.

The empress's stupidity is really the kind that is rare, indescribable, indescribable, and unprecedented. She is the kind that can make Mu Yu speechless with anger.

The rare kind.

She is not a tyrant, but her stupidity has reached Mu Yu's unimaginable level, and her coquettish operation has completely surprised Mu Yu, feeling desperate, and his hands and feet are weak.

That's how stupid she is!
