Emperor Son Sang gl

After the morning court was over, Chang Ning specially summoned six ministers and seven ministers to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Dingguo Gongsun Zheng saw it, and was a little worried.What would the emperor want to discuss at this time?And it's related to the Six Departments, so it doesn't seem to be a trivial matter.Just as the ministers were leaving, Gongsun Zhengchao Zhongshuling gave him a wink, telling him to be smarter; Zhongshuling Cheng Fang was his protégé, so of course he understood.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial City.

Chang Ning first asked the officials to wait in the palace, and then went to the back with a few palace servants; after a while, Chang Ning came back again, only to see that he took off the outer robe that he had just put on, and changed into a vigorous one. It must be more convenient for Jianxiu to come.The six ministers and Zhongshu ordered Fu to pay homage again:

"I pay homage to the emperor."

"Your honor is excused." Chang Ning smiled.

Among the seven ministers are Lu Jinzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Chai Ziquan, Minister of the Ministry of War. In addition, because the former Minister of Rites returned to his hometown, Wailang Jiang Yuxing, a member of the Ministry of Rites, took his place.From this point of view, more than half of the father's confidantes occupied the position of minister, which can be regarded as living up to the promise of the year, and now is the time for them to make their way to the top.

"To call all the ministers here today is actually to discuss something." Chang Ning winked at the censor beside him, indicating that he can start to write and record the content. "I would like to ask all the lords, how many people have Dayan under the jurisdiction of the court?"

"Spear horses, return to the country;"

"Heavy sea salt medicine is owned by the country;"

"Land currency, owned by the country;"

"The canal fleet, return to the country."

Chang Ning couldn't help pondering and let out a breath. "The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, two adults."

"The minister is here."

"The criminal law will be amended from now on to change the state-owned business fleets to private ones, increase the force to guard the ports and harbors, strictly check the caravans entering and leaving the ships, and formulate the sea trade regulations." Chang Ning coughed when he saw that the two of them were in a daze. He said: "Why, you can't understand what I'm talking about?"

Zhongshuling Cheng Fang was also a little bit overwhelmed, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade him:

"Your Majesty, fleet commerce has always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Wouldn't it be messed up if the people were allowed to go to sea for trade?"

"How could it be messed up?" Chang Ning blinked his eyes, this problem has been planned for a long time. "Remember it well. At the same time as the criminal law was amended, a sea trade chapter was established, and customs cards were set up in various ports, referred to as customs; the customs should send more troops to station, and what they did was to count the existing local ships and record each fleet or No matter what the private boat belongs to, there must be a source. After that, the time to go to sea is limited, the goods are limited to go to sea, and those with unknown household registration are not allowed to go to sea." Changning stopped the conversation, "Do you still need to teach you these things? "

It was the first time for the courtiers to hear such a decree.

Lu Jinzheng couldn't help nodding his head again and again, the emperor's intentions might work!Customs... Customs... What an interesting existence.If the sea seal is really set up in this way, it can promote business exchanges and increase the enthusiasm of merchants.

"The minister obeys the order."

Although Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment are not very understandable, they can only respond first.

Chang Ning twisted his neck, looking straight at the ceiling above his head with a pair of eyes. "Sea salt cannot be returned to the people, rare medicines cannot be returned to the people, spears cannot be returned to the people, horses cannot be returned to the people, projects..." It seems that something came to mind when it came to this.

"In terms of engineering, I feel that the imperial court can cooperate with the people."

"Co...cooperate?" Several ministers looked at each other.

"Just like building official roads and canals, the government and the people can work together to complete the project. One party contributes money and the other contributes effort, or the two parties divide the work in half. After the project is completed, it is a long-term benefit, and the two parties can share the benefits." Chang Ning finished. , Fu nodded himself again, "Let's decide it like this. In the past, the government was responsible for these things. How much money was swallowed is still unknown. How can one side dominate? The Ministry of Punishment, go back and change this one."

"Yes..." A layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Shangshu Xingbu.

Empress, this is... This is a big change.

Zhongshu Ling Chengfang is a bit more convenient.

Originally, when Changning ascended the throne, the ministers never thought about what kind of achievements the emperor would make.After all, there is still a posthumous son of Emperor Ganzhi. Everyone thinks that Changning has been the emperor for a few years to support the scene, and when the posthumous posthumous son grows, he will return to the time when a man is the emperor.Only since Changning decided to take the autumn test, the criminal law has been revised little by little, and now it is starting from the Six Departments, making major changes to the rules and regulations that have never been touched on weekdays...

I really don't know what she will do next.

"I want to add a project."

What?Cheng Fang was startled.

"The unique Wenluan craftsmanship in the imperial city, I plan to list it as a state-owned project and announce it." Changning automatically ignored the stunned ministers below, "At that time, the craftsmanship will still be owned by the imperial court, but geothermal enjoyment can be set up in various places. Buying and selling geothermal heat is like buying and selling sea salt, and the craftsmanship must not be leaked. Once discovered, there will be no mercy.”

In the end, Chang Ning said the word "killing no amnesty" in an understatement.

If you compare geothermal heat with sea salt, those who trade privately are indeed a death penalty.It's just that the emperor is just a woman after all, why did he kill Wushe when he opened his mouth... Cheng Fang suddenly understood a little bit, this person is indeed different from ordinary delicate women, she is a cruel person...

"Your Majesty, Wen Luan is unique to the Imperial City, are you sure you want to release the secret recipe?"

Changning was silent for a while.

She was thinking about something that this event might bring.

"Do as I say."

-

In July of the first year of Jingque.

It was midsummer, and the first autumn test of the Jingque year was about to take place.

During the same period, new changes were made to the criminal law, regulations on seaborne trade were added, and customs jurisdiction was established.Common people and merchants rushed to understand the situation, and many ambitious people set up fleets and invited them to cooperate and go to sea for trade;

At the same time, the project was newly revised and changed to a government-private partnership;

At the same time, the geothermal craftsmen were in charge of the craftsmen of the imperial city, and a special geological survey office was set up to investigate the geothermal conditions in various places. At the same time, preparations for the geothermal construction began. It is expected to be completed and used by the people in the next winter.

Changning's criminal law reform has won the support of the vast majority of the public.

It's just that if someone likes something, someone will definitely hate it.Changning's move undoubtedly blocked some officials' ways of making money, and slapped the ministers who had been comfortable for so many years. Of course, it was only aimed at those who held titles but did not do practical things.

A truly honest courtier will not be afraid of any decision of the emperor.

"How is the test going this fall?"

Bai Qingping was sitting beside her, gently pressing her shoulder with one hand.

The incense in the temple has been changed, originally it used spices from the Southern Border Kingdom, but Chang Ning didn't like it.Bai Qingping didn't use it any more, and called someone to replace the incense, and put back the sandalwood that he used to use before.Chang Ning often said that only the smell of sandalwood could calm down her frightened heart.

At that time, Bai Qingping felt distressed for no reason.

"It's not very good." Chang Ning lay on the couch, put one hand on his forehead, lost in thought alone. "It is reported that there are only a few girls who have passed the exam, two or three? One or two? It's pitifully small. Presumably, it's because they don't have the courage to take the exam. Secondly, the place must have been tampered with."

After all, they are some pedantic men, where there are so many new blood, they are basically old ministers who have been in office for more than ten years.They said they were convincing, but they might have had a lot of small calculations secretly... Tsk, it's really annoying.Chang Ning plans to try to select more young people with potential this autumn, and then allocate them to places, so as to save so many old guys who talk about ethics.

"Nan..." Bai Qingping pulled down her hand, a little worried. "Some things should not be rushed."

Changning was momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed, although the new official takes office three fires, she, the emperor who has just ascended the throne, should also be strict.However, the foundation of Changning is not stable. The New Deal during this period is enough to show its face and become a hot topic. If it is changed again, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among some bureaucrats and cause disasters.

Although she is the emperor, her first step is to centralize power.

When Zi Sangyu was in power, in order to re-rule this piece of land better, he appointed many henchmen to distribute power to govern all aspects.Over the years, the policies promulgated by Zi Sang Yu have been effective, and they have improved much compared to the former Ning period; when Chang Ning first became emperor, he thought about whether to follow Zi Sang Yu's approach, but.

She found that this policy does not apply now.

Strictly speaking, Zi Sangyu is the founding emperor, and a greater part of what she does is to gather land and strengthen the cohesion of various places.Decentralization and reduction of power were the basic measures she took when she was in power, because only in this way can the reunited Central Plains appear in a state of waste.

It's just been ten years since that time.

It has not been said that it has reached the peak in more than ten years, but the people's hearts can be said to have reached the supremacy.Changning's period was the period of peace, just like her imperial brother's change of Yuan, Qianzhi.The meaning of dry governance lies in governance, how to make good use of the essence left by Zi Sangyu, both brothers and sisters should work hard for this.

Changning was changed to Yuan Jingque, one is to commemorate the change of Kyoto, and the other is to show the rule of daughters.

"Recently, maybe the pressure is too great..." Chang Ning said in a low voice.

The doubts from the courtiers and the laughter from the common people haunted her like a nightmare every day and every night.She was eager to prove herself with some achievements, but if Bai Qingping didn't remind her, she might be dazed.

She really wanted to be an emperor.The word "unprecedented and unprecedented" has great glory, but it also has unspeakable suffering.Chang Ning doesn't want the history books to give her a bad evaluation in the future. After all, she is only the second emperor. If the country is destroyed in her own hands, what should she do?Eager for success, unwilling to wait.

If this continues, you will definitely do something wrong.

"Don't act like you've only been emperor for a few years." Bai Qingping leaned over to hug her, and pressed against her chest, listening to her heartbeat. "Since I have become the emperor, I still have many years to ponder. I don't regret entering this imperial city, because what I care most about in this world is near my side."

Chang Ning hummed.
