The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 479 Are You Willing to Serve His Majesty?
Almost all officials were able to be promoted to a higher level, so it was strange that these people were not happy. They could not have imagined that they could encounter such a good thing without causing trouble with the two prime ministers.
Some were happy while others were unhappy. The officials under the other two ministers looked at the two ministers who had not left with some resentment. They despised and criticized these two people in their hearts.
Weren't they very tough just now? Why are they so cowardly now? If these two people resigned directly, how many people would benefit?
The two ministers who had not left felt their scalps tingling when they saw someone looking at them covetously. Damn it, they almost got taken advantage of.
Fortunately, they did not leave forcefully. If they had left, they would probably have lost their jobs. At least, for now, it is better for them to stay as court officials.
Who the hell would be stupid enough to wait for a change of dynasty? Now that Jiang Fan is here, it is impossible to change the dynasty by force.
As for changing the dynasty by other means! That's just dreaming! As long as Li Changle doesn't commit suicide and has Jiang Fan's support, she might be able to hold on to her position as the empress.
Those who didn't leave will definitely get a lot of benefits!
As Li Changle announced the promotion of a group of people, she handed the task of checking the resignation list and the list of officials from various departments to the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The Minister of Personnel resigned, so the task naturally fell on the shoulders of the Vice Minister of Personnel.
The first turmoil was thus concluded, and Li Changle then announced a series of decrees, such as the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce.
Responsible for the management and taxation of local commerce, the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, responsible for land reclamation and grain planting, and responsible for land management.
Land management here refers to the land that has been reclaimed. Local governments encourage the reclamation of wasteland and exempt taxes for the first three years. Some of the land has been reclaimed into planting bases and is state-owned.
The Ministry of Industry was also established to develop light industrial production.
The last decree was to open schools and formulate a five-year plan to admit poor students free of charge in the early stages.
The first batch of students will be 5,000, and five schools will be set up in the four prefectures of Shangjing and Shangjing. Each school will recruit 1,000 students!
When hearing this decree, all the court officials were stunned. They felt that this last decree was simply a fantasy.
Apart from anything else, just the idea of enrolling poor students for free is impossible to achieve, not to mention setting up five schools that can enroll thousands of people.
What does it mean to have a school with a thousand students?! Just the schoolhouses are a problem, and there are also accommodation issues, etc.! This all costs money, and the treasury of the Great Western Dynasty is already empty.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this last imperial decree may not be complete. The national treasury is empty and the Ministry of Revenue has no money. Please think twice!" At this time, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly stood up.
The Minister of Revenue resigned, and he, the Vice Minister of Revenue, became the highest official. This last decree was like a death sentence for him. How could he not stand up?
"Don't worry about this matter. I have my own ideas! I don't need your Ministry of Revenue to pay for it..." Li Changle said calmly.
Jiang Fan had other plans for money. She was also very confident about it. Otherwise, she would not dare to make such a decree.
Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue immediately shut up. Since the empress had her own plans and his Ministry of Revenue didn't need to pay for it, what else could he say?
However, the current situation in the court has changed too much. Although he is happy that he may soon become the Minister of Revenue, he also feels uncertain.
Many policies seem good, but they are difficult to implement. But he can only wait and see.
Most officials in the court thought so.
The court meeting ended like this, and all the other court officials were sent out, leaving only six honest officials who were dismissed from office.
They were criminals, and although they were not in shackles, they were wearing prison uniforms.
The six people were brought before the empress and Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan did not speak at the court meeting just now, but quietly stood there to calm down Li Changle.
If it weren't for him, who knows what would have happened to these guys.
"Are you six willing to serve His Majesty?!" Jiang Fan looked at the six people and said lightly.
The six people looked at Jiang Fan with complicated eyes. In fact, what they felt most uncomfortable about was not that Li Changle was a woman and became emperor.
But it was Jiang Fan's identity. He, the King of Qin of Dayan, controlled the entire Great Western Dynasty, which was equivalent to holding the Great Western Dynasty in his pocket. They were more or less unhappy about it.
No matter what, Jiang Fan is from another country. If he obeys the Empress Li Changle, what difference is there between that and treason? !
Therefore, when Jiang Fan said this, several people looked unhappy. Li Changle sighed. With the tempers of these six people, it would probably be difficult to convince them.
In fact, Li Changle didn't want to kill these six people. They had good talents and were from poor families. If used well, they could become her greatest help.
But these six people always insist on some bullshit literati spirit and refuse to be traitors to their country, which gives her a headache!
"Hmph... The princess is indeed a wise choice for a monarch, and she is indeed a man of great talent and vision, but the princess has pledged her love to the King of Qin of Great Yan. Please forgive us for not obeying your order. If His Royal Highness the King of Qin wants to kill her, then kill her! We will not hesitate!"
One of the courtiers, who was in his thirties, said coldly, with a look of arrogance on his face.
"That's right. We will never be ministers who destroy our country, let alone traitors. I'm afraid that Daxi has already become a vassal state of Dayan, and may even be annexed by Dayan in the end. How can we serve the princess?"
"Please forgive me for not obeying your orders. We scholars should be loyal to our emperor and patriotic. We will never forget our principles and join the enemy country."
The remaining few people followed suit coldly, no one lowered their heads, and their eyes were full of unyielding spirit.
Although they were shocked by Li Changle's series of decrees, and could see that Li Changle was a man of great talent and strategy, they did not want to be ministers of another country.
Jiang Fan looked at the six people in front of him and found it somewhat amusing. Although these people had some talent, their brains had been made stupid by reading too much, and they always insisted on some bullshit loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in their hearts.
"Your Highness Prince Qin, what are you laughing at..." When the six people saw Jiang Fan laughing, anger welled up on their faces and they felt humiliated.
Jiang Fan smiled at the six people and said calmly: "I am not laughing at anything. I am just laughing at your short-sightedness. Reading books has made you stupid!"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, the six people were so angry that they trembled all over. They pointed at Jiang Fan, but for a moment they didn't know how to fight back.
Li Changle sighed even more when he saw this scene. These six people were difficult to tame, but Jiang Fan humiliated them in this way. He was afraid that he would have no choice but to give up on these six people in the end.
However, Jiang Fan looked at the six people and said playfully: "Everyone, am I wrong? Then let me ask you, why do you study?!"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, the six people opposite him smiled coldly. The man in his thirties who spoke first said, "Studying is for the benefit of all people in the world. I will prosper my Great Western Dynasty!"
Following his voice, the remaining few people nodded quickly, with pride on their faces, as if what they said was righteous and full of momentum.
However, what he said really sounded like that; he had lofty ideals and aspirations!
