Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"Your Majesty's imperial conquest, let Mr. Shoufu handle the government affairs. Is this how you handle the affairs of the Shoufu?"

"Humph!"

Lai Zongdao snorted coldly: "Now that His Majesty has made a decision to reform, this assistant summons officials to discuss the matter of reform. Does this also require Jin Yiwei's consent?"

"Of course not!"

Li Ruolian suddenly smiled, and changed his aggressive attitude: "Okay, since the chief assistant arranges the reform, then I won't disturb the state affairs!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Lai Zongdao's livid face, Li Ruolian waved his hand, and at the same time as he stepped out, all the Jinyi guards also walked out of the cabinet in an orderly manner.

But at this time, Lai Zongdao's expression was extremely gloomy. He knew that this was definitely not Li Ruolian's own will. No matter how courageous Li Ruolian was, he would never dare to bring people into the cabinet!

Otherwise, even if it is intended to interfere in political affairs, this alone is enough to make him irreparable.

It is not his will, whose will is obvious.

Obviously, it was the emperor who was warning him to choose to stand in line!

Otherwise, the shit pot will be on the head, it's either shit or shit!

"The matter of reform is personally decided by His Majesty. As ministers, we must follow the will. If you have any opinions, you can report to Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Lai Zongdao looked around the group of officials, paused for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "My colleagues, please remember that this is the Daheng Dynasty, not the former Ming Dynasty!"

"Don't use the laws of the previous dynasty to rule the world today!"

"At present, all systems are only tentative and have not yet been established. If you worry about the country and the people, I understand it, but don't do bad things with good intentions!"

"Okay, let's step down for now. The new dynasty and the new system have been like this since ancient times. When you go back, think about it!"

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end, none of the courtiers said much, or retreated, or snorted coldly, and walked away, or left silently.

Seeing the posture of the officials, Lai Zongdao's expression became more and more gloomy. He knew that with this statement, he had completely stood on the opposite side of everyone!

Since ancient times, no matter whether the ministers of the reformation are successful or not, they have never had a good end!

Shang Yang of Qin, Anshi of Song Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng of Ming Dynasty, that one escaped the tragic fate again.

Liu Qiyuan was indifferent, he took a sip from his teacup quite comfortably, and then said slowly: "Okay, the reform was decided by His Majesty, and it was also implemented by His Majesty himself. Pushing you as a target, just let us do things."

"The sky is falling, and His Majesty is supporting it. What are you worried about?"

"They're not going to let it go."

Lai Zongdao glanced at Liu Qiyuan, who was calm and composed: "You are still in the mood to drink tea!"

"It's about to break the sky!"

"Look, as long as His Majesty still decides to carry out the reform, it won't be long before the prefectures and counties will lose control and the world will be in chaos."

"No mess."

Liu Qiyuan shook his head: "Didn't you see that many people, knowing that they can't be changed, resigned and then sold their properties, most of them went south."

"It's because they know that the emperor has already carried out the reform policy in Liaodong, and it is impossible to change things. If they resist, they don't have the courage."

"Look, in the future, there will be a large number of resignations, and a large number of people will sell their land and property and flee to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Even if it's chaotic, it's only temporary. His Majesty probably has already sharpened his sword and waited to slaughter a group of people. Today's Daheng is just a few provinces in the north. Jiangnan, which is the most difficult to reform, has now become Nanming. Reform is not as scary as you think."

"Kill a group of people!"

"You put it so simply!"

Lai Zongdao glanced at Liu Qiyuan angrily: "Do you know how many people will die?"

"There are so many prefectures and counties in the northern provinces. Where is the gentry not rich in wealth and owning tens of thousands of acres of land?"

"If this knife is cut down, even if everything is completely suppressed and nothing major happens, the whole world will be completely overthrown, and everything will have to be restarted. Do you know how many years it will take to recover?"

"So what if you know, and what if you don't know?"

Liu Qiyuan was still calm and composed: "Your Majesty has decided so, how can you and I change it?"

"It's fine if it's overturned. At least, the treasury won't be like before. It doesn't matter if you don't see a few taels of silver all year round. You have to pay a big debt every year."

"The treasury, the treasury, you know your treasury!"

Lai Zongdao seemed a little angry.

"I am the Minister of the Household Department. I don't worry about the treasury. Who will worry about the treasury!"

"Your chief assistant's salary is also paid by the treasury!"

"Without money in the national treasury, life is hard for anyone!"

"Don't forget, the Hou Jin Liao thieves have just been put down now, Mongolia is still alive and kicking, and Nanming is still rioting. In this world, there are many places that need money!"

"Only by reform can the world enjoy long-term peace and stability. Those who obstruct reform are those who hinder the country's long-term peace and stability. They should be killed and punished!"

Liu Qiyuan said it bluntly.

"you……"

Lai Zongdao was extremely angry, but in the end, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them out.

He doesn't know that the country has reached the point where it must be changed, and even that it will perish if it is not changed, which is not empty talk.

He has never opposed reform, and even raised his hands in favor of reform.

However, looking at the history, there are too many reform methods that can bring the world back to life, so why bother to implement such a reform strategy that is destined to force the world to rebel, and the number of people is rolling.

The most vicious thing in the world is the pen of a literati.

So what if Shihuang's meritorious deeds surpassed the world, the name of the eternal tyrant was firmly worn on Shihuang's head.

Yang Guang has great ambitions, held imperial examinations, suppressed the door, and built canals. Isn't that the same thing that will last for thousands of years?

The merits of this reform strategy are in the present, so what if the merits will be in the future?

But this is risking the disgrace of the world!It is against the whole world!Without suppressing all opponents in the world, it is impossible to carry out this reform.

Defeated, it is a sin for the whole life, and a sin for thousands of years!

If it succeeds, it is also a sin for the whole life, and a sin for thousands of years!

"Up to three days, there will be rebellions everywhere, and there will be hoarding of goods, and there will be people sitting on the sidelines in the government, and even deliberately indulge, or even join forces!"

"There must be corruption in political affairs in various places, and the order in the northern provinces will inevitably get out of control!"

"Although there are many officials in the world, how many people are there who really dare to risk the displeasure of the world and who dare to cut themselves off from the world?"

"Your Majesty can only use martial arts and civil science subjects thoroughly, then we orthodox officials from the imperial examinations will inevitably be more and more excluded..."

"Not to mention the turbulence of the reform, I am afraid that the imperial examinations will be abolished because of this, and turmoil will be the norm!"

After uttering these words, Lai Zongdao didn't stay, and walked out of the cabinet, leaving Liu Qiyuan alone, standing in the hall with a cloudy expression...

Chapter 458

drive!drive!

Among the mountains and forests, iron cavalry galloped, soldiers bent their bows and set arrows, and the arrow clusters accurately sank into the body of the panic-stricken wild beast.

The Son of Heaven is dressed in armor, like leading an army on an expedition, bowing his bow and setting his arrows, and the arrow clusters are already aimed at a roaring big worm.

stop!

In the next second, the cluster of arrows flew, almost as quickly as lightning, directly into the tiger's neck, and finally penetrated out. The cluster of arrows sank into the ground, the shaft of the arrow trembled, and drops of blood dripped.

And that mighty big worm let out a shrill roar before collapsing into a pool of blood.

"it is good!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Great!"

This arrow immediately attracted applause from all the generals.

"No matter how good the archery is, no matter how good the martial arts are, they can't compare with guns. Guns are the future, and martial arts can only be supplemented..."

The emperor reined in his bow and reined in his horse, feeling a little emotional. The system panel appeared in front of his eyes. Looking at this familiar system panel, Li Xiuzhi's emotion became more and more intense.

In this life, when he first heard about martial arts and was born with the Heaven-Defying System, he thought that he would eventually be able to reach an unprecedented peak in martial arts and pursue the illusory dream of success.

And the facts also gave him endless courage. From the moment he came into contact with martial arts, he reached the pinnacle of the world in just two or three years, and even reached a pinnacle that can hardly be found in records.

But just when he was full of confidence and wanted to go further and pursue the illusory dream of eternal life, he suddenly discovered that this peak seemed to be really the peak!

For so many years, from the humble to the peak, searching the world's martial arts and sage classics, searching for countless treasures that are hard to find in the world, he himself has also pondered countless methods!

Countless martial arts and the wisdom of the sages have been integrated, countless precious medicines have been accumulated, and countless methods have been tried, but martial arts have always stopped at this so-called peak, without any progress at all.

Even though he is already invincible in the world, he is only a body of flesh and blood, he will still be injured, and he still cannot stop the power of guns.

And the current guns are only in the initial stage of development...

The martial arts that he pinned so much hope on seems to be really just worldly martial arts, and if he wants to transcend the world, it seems that there is no hope at all!

If things go on like this, martial arts can obviously only become an aid to the booming guns.

It's just that he is not reconciled after all. In this life, he originally wanted to pursue the emptiness while at the same time calm down the world, change history, and change the regrets in the hearts of future generations.

But now, his personal illusory dream seems to be really illusory, and he can't see the slightest hope. He wants to pursue it, but after so many years of wasting, he can't find the slightest way forward.

But this official business for the country and the people has become everything to him. Under the influence of good fortune, he is still as good as martial arts, and he also stands at the pinnacle of the world.

I thought it was a life of longevity and long-term vision, and a life of being free and easy in the world, but in the end it turned into what it is now, governing the country and the world!

Good luck, what a fool!

Such a heaven-defying system brought him to this world of secular martial arts!

Between sighs and emotions, Li Xiu looked around at the generals, but smiled: "Okay, don't follow me anymore, it's rare to be free today, if you should relax, relax, go!"

Li Xiu waved his hands, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and then rode his horse into motion, surrounded by a group of soldiers from the imperial front battalion, and rode away.

All the generals rode their horses to stop at the same spot, or laughed, or were eager to try, and it didn't take long before they all rode their horses and disappeared into the forest.

"Your Majesty, more than [-] officials from various ministries of the court have resigned. According to statistics, more than [-] prefects and county magistrates have either resigned or left their posts directly..."

"The prices of grain and salt in various places have also risen in a straight line, and many grain stores have directly closed their doors."

"Jin Yiwei came to the door to investigate, but either the grain store closed down directly, or there was a fire in the granary..."

"Right now, people in the government and the public are almost in a state of panic, and rumors are spreading that your majesty wants to take the land of the people all over the world for yourself, and you want to beat the people of the world into slaves for generations..."

The Son of Heaven rode his horse to the top of the mountain, and when he reined in his horse and stood there, Jin Yiwei, who followed closely, also slowly reported.

Jin Yiwei was trembling with shock at these outrageous words, but Li Xiu also looked calm, without any emotional change at all.

These were all things he had expected.

This is the limitation of the times.

The reason why the great man of the future can successfully carry out the land reform is because under the leadership of the great man, there is an extremely lean and effective organization that can convince the public, reassure the public, and even allow the public to follow, and can go deep into the most basic and organize the public .

And he, apart from the barrel of a gun, doesn't have any conditions!

From any perspective, this reform is not a wise choice.

But he has no choice.

Don't take advantage of the establishment of Daheng, when the military honors are booming, the system is still undecided, and the original corruption has not completely penetrated into his newly rising system, and the new system is still relatively pure. , he really has no chance.

At least for now, even though the sword fell on him, at least it wasn't about the seriousness. Landlords and gentry were not the real foundation to support Daheng.

In the future, when the system is sound and completely stabilized, the landlords and gentry will really be the foundation of the rule.

At that time, no matter how ambitious he is, he will not be able to dig his own grave and break his own roots...

In fact, he doesn't have much to do with the current chaos.

Normally, this kind of reform naturally needs to be implemented from top to bottom, and requires officials to preach to the people to stabilize the hearts of the people.

But now, the main body of this slashing is the gentry and landlords headed by officials.

The preferential treatment of literati in the previous Ming Dynasty led to the formation of land mergers. In fact, most of them were literati landlords. In fact, the commercial and tax reforms, in fact, were inseparable from the relationship with these people.

Under such circumstances, natural and normal policies are difficult to implement.

He can only choose, the simplest and rude way, which is to exchange blood for the ruling class of civil servants...

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help chuckling.

It seems that the existence of Nanming has become his arm to a certain extent.
