reincarnated as king

Bei Gongdi squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long while. If he hadn't experienced the world hundreds of years later, he would have been furious at this moment, and used a "crime of deceiving the emperor" to put Fang Jingxuan into the prison—now What Bei Gongdi discussed with him was the matter of cutting feudal clans!In the end, Fang Jingxuan opened his mouth and gave him a legitimate way to increase the power of the prince.You must know that if it is carried out in this way, anyone who can become the clan of the "Prince" will no longer be the good and bad kings who were entrusted at the beginning of the country, but a military strategist who relies on military merits.

Bei Gongdi was jealous of his brother's military ability and influence, precisely because if King Sai had a different heart, he would definitely pose a threat to the throne.

However, no matter how closely Ren Beigongdi looked at it, Fang Jingxuan sat there calmly.With a sudden change in his mind, Bei Gongdi suddenly understood.Originally, he had planned to abolish all the personal guards of the palace step by step in the future, so that in the future, all the children of the clan would need the emperor's will if they wanted to gain access to military power.In the future, if there is a person who is promoted to the king, it must be the acquiescence of the emperor at that time.

After figuring this out, Bei Gongdi suddenly felt that Fang Jingxuan was not at all what he appeared on the surface, he was an upright and harmless person.This kind of political skill of blatantly assassinating is so sophisticated, it is no wonder that after Fang Kejian passed away, his young son was able to be entrusted with an important task by Jin Taizu.Bei Gongdi still trusts his father's eyes. Therefore, although he is quite disdainful of the scholar court created by Emperor Wenxi, he still respects the man who can teach a weak boy with black eyes to become an emperor. Fang Jingxuan.

Bei Gongdi said thoughtfully, "I have been taught. Xia Yang is really good at knowing people."

As for the specific operation, how the clan's children should stand on their own, Bei Gongdi had a plan in mind.Dajin has an extremely long coastline, which is very suitable for the development of maritime trade, and the continent where Dajin is located is not only a place in Middle Earth.Once the national power develops in the future, enters the colonial stage, or even sails to another continent, it is naturally impossible for the emperor who must sit in the local land for future generations to conquest.As for the person in charge of these matters, it is more reliable to use a brother from the Beigong clan than to use a king with a different surname.

Fang Jingxuan saw that he seemed to be wandering, so he couldn't help feeling tempted, and asked: "Your Majesty is not afraid of future generations' criticism of 'not inheriting the ancestral system'?"

Bei Gongdi said: "Xiaofu thinks, I would care about the pens of those historians?" After a pause, Bei Gongdi said again: "What's more, the system is always the same, it must always keep pace with the times!"

Fang Jingxuan was shocked when he heard the words, with a strange look in his eyes, and the four big words "advance with the times" were repeated in his heart.Fang Jingxuan read a lot of books when he was young, and he had a faint feeling in his heart, but now he was awakened by Bei Gongdi's words.After thinking about it, he suddenly felt complicated emotions in his heart.

Confucianism pays attention to "a teacher with one character", Fang Jingxuan can't help feeling a little respect for this emperor who is still a few years younger than him, but this respect and gratitude is mixed with the dislike and extreme accumulated in the past, echoing in his heart.He had to admit that Bei Gongdi's level of governing the world had already surpassed that of Emperor Wenxi whom he regarded as the kindness of knowledge and encounter.And such an emperor will bring the Great Jin to that direction. Is it the blessing of the Great Jin?

Fang Jingxuan faintly heard Bei Gongdi's heartfelt voice that night when he was drinking: "Let Da Jin walk in front of the world." He seemed to have glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of Bei Gongdi's inner ambition, and was a little shaken and agitated.

It was only at this moment that Fang Jingxuan let go of the heavy prejudices of the past, and for the first time looked at this Ninth Five-Year Venerable straight in the eyes.

However, Bei Gongdi felt a little embarrassed. Speaking of it, he only realized this truth in later generations.Unexpectedly, Fang Jingxuan's few words just now seemed to give Fang Jingxuan an opportunity to understand something and show such a big reaction.Bei Gongdi couldn't help changing the subject, raised his cup, took a sip of tea, and said while the iron was hot: "Since there is no morning court tomorrow, please stay here, sir. I have a few other documents here, please advise me."

He clapped his palms, Zuo Chang understood and entered the hall and handed over a stack of bound and simple booklets.Ever since that private visit on Weifu, Bei Gongdi has mentioned him as an accompanying eunuch, and like the previous life, he was promoted to be the eunuch acting as the supervisor of ceremonies.Anyway, Bei Gongdi is used to these two people, and knows them well, not afraid of secrets.

"Please take a look and criticize, sir."

These documents were naturally given to Bei Gongdi by Chen Xiayang while he was leaving, and they were just used as a touchstone for Bei Gongdi at this moment, to see if Fang Jingxuan was worthy of the evaluation of "Guo Shi Wu Shuang".Naturally, Bei Gongdi carefully selected all kinds of them, and removed some suggestions that would hinder the subsequent development in order to increase the imperial power, and the emperor's negligence that was not convenient for Fang Jingxuan to see.At this moment, Fang Jingxuan's hands are mainly on taxation, education and laws, as well as the military that Bei Gongdi attaches the most importance to.

But Bei Gongdi would not give all these things to Fang Jingxuan all at once, he just waited for the opportunity bit by bit.

Speaking of which, in the last life, Chen Xiayang had been by Bei Gongdi's side until the second year of Qianning when the world was settled.Now that Chen Xiayang suddenly said that he wanted to leave, Bei Gongdi was caught off guard.

Chen Xiayang is also a weird person, he doesn't have a wife by his side, so he doesn't like women.When Chen Xiayang decided to follow Bei Gongdi, Bei Gongdi was only 16 years old.Now that Bei Gongdi became the emperor, he was about to confer rewards on meritorious officials. With the great efforts of Chen Xiayang's first counselor, he might not be a problem, but he suddenly retired bravely.It was only after Bei Gongdi begged hard that Chen Xiayang agreed to temporarily assume the title of 'Prince Taishi' and walk around the Jingxin Hall for a while.From this point of view, this person is very treacherous, he doesn't care about power and benefits, so why is he assisting Bei Gongdi?

In fact, for Chen Xiayang, the answer to this seemingly unimaginable matter is extremely simple, because he served as Prime Minister Bei Gongdi, neither for any future glory and wealth, nor for passing down the ages, but a simple sentence: Show your ambitions and live up to what you have learned in your life-this just sums up the complex, rough and wonderful life of this mysterious man.

Because Fang Jingxuan's ten clans were slaughtered in the previous life, Bei Gongdi became murderous, and copied Wenxi's old ministers, nine clans, or three clans, and copied all kinds of melons and vines one after another. It was so bloody that it made the literati silent for a while.Bei Gongdi was also heartbroken, he didn't believe that it was only by those Wenxi's old ministers that he could complete the achievement of Wenzhi and martial arts, and most of the future Qianning and prosperity would have the shadow of the emperor's great joy.

Bei Gongdi followed some of the systems of Emperor Wenxi, such as setting the morning court every other day. During the early court, Beijing officials below the fifth rank bowed and retreated, and officials above the fifth rank entered the palace to play and set seats.This behavior is not because Bei Gongdi is "benevolent and compassionate" like Emperor Wenxi, but because of practical considerations.He remembered very clearly that in the early court of the last life, several loyal old officials often fainted in the court hall due to the hot weather and standing for a long time.And these are talents!Bei Gongdi simply carried out his good deeds to the end, but this action made some subordinates praise his benevolence.

In addition to the inheritance, Bei Gongdi is also in full swing to prepare for the reform. If he wants to pull the Great Jin from the original historical track, and avoid the tragedy of death and revolution, Bei Gongdi must look far away. , to subtly change some deep-rooted chronic diseases.

In all politics, the first priority is economics.After 30 years of recuperation in the Great Jin Dynasty, the national economy has gradually recovered, especially in the Jiangnan area, but its activity and scale are far less than the grandeur of the previous dynasty.Since Dajin is a self-sufficient river civilization, mainly based on the small-scale peasant economy, the national policies of this economy can be roughly divided into three categories.

"This is taxation, banknote law, and business flow." Bei Gongdi took a sip of tea and watched Fang Jingxuan seriously study the documents in his hand.The always upright face softened slightly, and the thick eyebrows drew a beautiful arc, which made Bei Gongdi couldn't help tracing the outline with his eyes.He obviously has the talent to know the world, but in the last life, he was so pedantic and stubborn that he lost his reason with anger.Even at that point of desperation, he never really bowed his head to anyone for help.

This is Fang Jingxuan, his forbearance and his straightness are all from him.His self-denial and self-denial, as well as his lack of scruples, are also his.It is such an unlovable person, but Bei Gongdi has to be attracted, but keeps secret.

"One is taxes." Bei Gongdi's eyes darkened slightly.

When the Beigong family competed for the Central Plains and seized the world, they had always received assistance from merchants in Jin, and thinking that the people were struggling to survive when the country was founded, so Beigongliu adopted the rule of doing nothing to recuperate.Therefore, the business tax in Dajin was extremely low, and during the reign of Tai‖zu it was one out of thirty.With such a low tax, Bei Gongdi feels a headache when he thinks about it. However, in order to stimulate and encourage local businesses and cultivate a soil suitable for the budding of capitalism, it is not impossible to adopt a low tax—in this case, it is almost zero. Under the low tax, Bei Gongdi is confident that based on the good trend left by the Communist Party, the economy of Dajin will be quickly restored.

But the implementation of low taxes does not mean that Bei Gongdi will let go of the country's macro-control.In history, the business tax of Dajin has always been far smaller than other incomes, and even reached the point where it was ridiculously low.The reason for this is that on the one hand, Dajin exempts some commodities from tax, and on the other hand, the phenomenon of tax evasion is extremely serious, and private salt and tea are rampant.Of course, out of the consideration of stimulating the capitalist economy, it is not impossible to set the tax rate at one out of thirty, but it is obviously necessary to strengthen taxation management.

Taxation includes agricultural tax, poll tax, tea tax, salt tax, wine tax and so on.These are things that have been a headache for the central government in all dynasties.Land tax accounts for a large part of Dajin's annual income.Bei Gongdi knew that it was not possible for him to abolish the agricultural tax under the current situation. All he could do was to implement some improved tax law systems implemented in the middle and late stages of the Jin Dynasty in the previous life according to local conditions.

"Secondly, it is the banknote method."

Jin Tai‖Zu Bei Gongliu promulgated the Dajinbao banknotes during the Jinghong period as the only official currency recognized by the government.But at that time, the country did not have the concept of "reserve funds", and the improper operation caused the excessive issuance of precious banknotes and the serious depreciation of the currency.In Bei Gongdi's own collection, there is a "100 million Guan" Jinghong banknote that he got when he was King Yan.At that time, Bei Gongliu had no choice but to mine and cast a batch of copper coins "Jinghong Tongbao" to control currency circulation.Nowadays, the folks do not use precious banknotes for transactions at all, but mainly gold, silver and Jinghong Tongbao.

But the advancement and benefits of using banknotes are beyond doubt.For example, in the tax law reforms that Bei Gongdi intends to implement, the tax law reforms of "returning the land to the mu" and "returning the fire consumption to the public", if banknotes are used, it will prevent local officials from using the name of "financial silver is damaged, and additional fire consumption money needs to be paid". The practice of exploiting people.
