Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 472 Golden Ceka [One Whip]

In the early morning, in the Yunguo Imperial Palace, in Xiao Cheng's bedroom.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace, holding crowns and gowns in their hands, walked in quickly, and carefully waited for Xiao Cheng to put on this extremely cumbersome, heavy black crown robe that showed the majesty of the emperor.

Xiao Cheng raised his hands, let the servants around him serve him, and looked at a certain place in front of him intently, as if he was thinking about something in his heart, which caused him to lose his mind.

In the line of sight that only Xiao Cheng could see, the huge turntable was spinning non-stop at this moment, and all kinds of lights on it were constantly shining, showing wonders.

After a while, the turntable stopped, and an incomparably dazzling golden light filled Xiao Cheng's sight.

The golden radiance suddenly condensed and turned into a card, which appeared in front of Xiao Cheng.

【Golden Zeka, One Whip】

[Card effect: After using it, within three years, the national public opinion will increase by 2 points per month, the probability of good events will increase by 10%, the local population growth rate will increase by 20%, annual tax revenue will increase by 20%, and administrative expenditure will decrease by 10%
After three years, depending on whether the official administration is clear or not, the morality, character, and ambition of the local chief official, a certain degree of negative effects will be obtained.Tax income is reduced by X value (between 0% and 20%), popular support is reduced by X value every round (between 0 and 2 points), administrative expenditure + X value (between 0% and 15%), and population growth rate is X value (between negative 5% and 0%)]

[Card Description: Legislation in the past dynasties each had the deep meaning of adapting to the current situation, and the poor implementation rate sickened the people. What is it?If there is no way to rule people, even with the good law of three generations, it is not enough to bring about a cure...]

One whip method, the taxation and corvee system established during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, was extended to the whole country by Zhang Juzheng during the Wanli period.

The new law stipulates that the land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous levies of each prefecture and county will be combined into one, and the silver taels will be collected together, and the payment will be converted into mu.This greatly simplifies the tax system and facilitates the collection of taxes.At the same time, it makes it difficult for local officials to cheat, thereby increasing fiscal revenue.

Zhang Juzheng's whipping method started from the political system, increased the government's fiscal revenue, lightened the burden on the people, and gave the Ming Dynasty, which had already begun to decline, a sigh of relief, delaying the period of collapse.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng became the most famous chief minister of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, and his name was recorded in the annals of history, which attracted praise and criticism from later generations.

The highest level golden card!It is also the rarest Ceka among the training cards, tikas, and Cekas!

Within three years after using this strategy card, the effect can be called terrifying!
The effect of this increase in popular support has increased by 72 points in three years, and the full value is only [-] points.So even if it is local people, they will resist the rule of Yun Kingdom.After these three years, it has completely changed into the shape of Yun Country...

The increase in the probability of good events will make things like good harvests, visions from heaven, and auspicious animals more likely to happen, and there are many benefits.

The increase in the population growth rate means that the national strength of the cloud is strong and sufficient, and the foundation of national strength will be deeper.

And the most direct ones are the 20% increase in tax revenue and the 10% reduction in administrative expenses.

Take Yunguo last year as an example, the national tax equivalent was nearly 200 million taels of silver.The official salary expenditures of the entire Yunguo court, local construction project expenditures, repairs and other series of administrative expenditures are as high as 400 million taels.

Increase the tax by 20%, and the extra money is equivalent to directly increasing the income of 240 million taels of silver to the imperial court.

Reduce administrative expenses by 40%, that is [-] taels of silver!
This amount of money adds up to less than 300 million taels, which is enough for Xiao Cheng to support another [-] elite, powerful, and astonishingly powerful Yun Kingdom army!
Of course, the powerful effect of this card is not unlimited.

After three years, certain negative effects will be obtained according to the morality, character, ambition and other factors of the local officials in the prefectures and counties of Yunguo.

As the saying goes, if there is no way to rule people, even with the good law of three generations, it will not be enough!
Many reforms in history, most of them were good governance at first.But as long as there are loopholes in the system, there will be corruption in the government, greedy for profit, perverting the new law, bullying and oppressing the people, and satisfying their own selfish desires.

Looking at the golden strategy card in front of him, which had equally powerful positive and negative effects, Xiao Cheng immediately used it without the slightest hesitation.

The golden radiance, following Xiao Cheng's thought, immediately rushed up to the sky, disappeared into the clouds and dissipated.

The complexity of human form is hard to guess.

Standing in front of the courtiers respectfully saluting, whether they are loyal or treacherous, good or evil, incorruptible or corrupt... It is not something that can be seen overnight.

Emperors of all dynasties throughout the ages have actually had this trouble.

But Xiao Cheng has a golden finger, and he can see whether his courtiers are loyal or not, and how moral they are.With the help of golden fingers, after three years, the negative effect of this [One Whip Technique] will definitely be reduced to the weakest.

That being the case, why should Xiao Cheng hesitate because of its powerful negative effects!

While Xiao Cheng was deep in thought, Feng Bao carefully put the Dragon Fury Sword on Xiao Cheng's waist, and then reminded him in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to go to court!"

When Xiao Cheng came back to his senses slightly, he realized that the crown robe on his body had already been put on under the service of the palace people.

Xiao Cheng nodded, turned around immediately, held his sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go to court!"

"Yes!"

Feng Bao bowed, straightened his back immediately, and said sharply:

"Let's drive, ascend to the palace!"

The servants in the palace and the guards in front of the palace surrounded Xiao Cheng and came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

Today is the Great Court Meeting again, at this time, the Chinese, Chinese and military officials have already entered the palace to wait for the holy driver.

Xiao Cheng walked into the hall unhurriedly, followed by the majestic and heavy sound of ritual and music, and every beat seemed to echo Xiao Cheng's footsteps.

All the Chinese and military officials in the hall cleaned up their clothes and hats, bowed down on both sides of the hall, and shouted in the mouth:

"Long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

The sound of hundreds of officials paying homage echoed in the majestic imperial city, startling the birds and birds in the palace.

Xiao Cheng sat on the dragon chair, the twelve-pronged crown shook slightly, glanced at all the officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice:
"Young gentlemen, save yourself from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all the officials in the palace got up, before Feng Bao could say the phrase "retire if there is nothing to do", Zhang Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up immediately and said loudly:

"Your Majesty Qizuo, in the Shule Kingdom of the Western Regions, the Magadha Kingdom of Tianzhu, and the Yangjia Kingdom, all countries admire me Dayun Wanghua, and sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute."

In the past few days, the embassy of the Shule Kingdom in the Western Regions has been placed in the State Guest House!
There are also missions from Tianzhu Magadha Kingdom and Yangjia Kingdom that came to Yun Kingdom under the leadership of Wang Xuance.

And the Tubo mission sent by the abandoned Nie Qi to deliberately show weakness in order to confuse the country of Yun, so as to facilitate the secret contact with the country of Xia

Zhongqing City has successively arrived missions. Among the yamen of various ministries, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the State Guesthouse, which were regarded as the most leisurely in the past, have been so busy that they do not touch the ground recently.

Above the steps, Xiao Cheng's voice came, saying:

"It's a good thing for a small country outside the region to admire Wanghua. I, Dayun, as a superior country, should be summoned!"

Feng Bao, who was standing beside Xiao Cheng, hurried forward and said loudly:
"Xuanshule Kingdom, Magadha Kingdom, and Yangjia Kingdom Missions, see you!"

Hou Anpan, the auxiliary state of Shule who had been waiting outside the hall, entered the hall together with several missionaries from Tianzhu countries wearing Tianzhu costumes.

The reason why the Shule Kingdom came here this time is because among the countries in the Western Regions, the Shule Kingdom is located in a crucial place and has been under attack from Dawan and Turkic forces for a long time.But the Khotan Kingdom kept watching from the sidelines and had no intention of intervening.

In desperation, the Shule Kingdom had no choice but to go to the Yun Kingdom, bow their heads and surrender, in order to ask for help.

The two countries of Magadha and Yangjia in Tianzhu are among the few countries in Tianzhu that believe in Tianzhu Buddhism.

Now it is also being pressured by several countries that believe in Brahmanism, such as the Kosala Kingdom, the Kashi Kingdom, the Mara Kingdom, and the Bazhi Kingdom in Tianzhu, and intends to embezzle it.

Coming here this time also meant to surrender and ask for help.This is also the reason why they were manipulated by Wang Xuance along the way.

The missions of the three countries already had surrender in their hearts.Today, since I entered this majestic, majestic, majestic and majestic Dayun Palace, my heart trembled.

Stepping into the hall at this time, one can only see that it is extremely luxurious, and Ye Ye shines like a fairy palace in the Heavenly Palace. officers.

On the top dragon chair, the Emperor Dayun was wearing a black imperial robe. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he was majestic, dignified and majestic.When you cast your gaze down, you will look down indifferently like a god living in the nine heavens.

What you can see is the atmosphere of the kingdom of the Great Cloud Heaven, thick and deep.When the emperor, civil and military officials, are majestic and honorable, people dare not look directly at them.It made the envoys of the missions of the three countries feel awe-inspiring, dizzy and unable to control themselves.

Subconsciously, the missions of the three countries knelt down in the hall together, stammering in half-baked Mandarin:

"Little Foreign Minister, pay homage to His Majesty Dayun Emperor! Long live His Majesty Dayun, long live, long live, long live!"

On the dragon chair, Xiao Cheng raised his hand slightly.

Feng Bao stepped forward again, showed the imperial decree in his hand, and read aloud:
"Following the heavens to respond to the season, receiving this name, Emperor Dayun ordered:
Saint benevolence spreads fortune, and everyone respects relatives wherever the sky and the earth are covered.You are safe and far away, with the heart of transformation in the sky, the same way, the same wind, and the righteousness of leading the earth to come to the court.

The lord of the Three Kingdoms knows and respects Dayun.Dongchi envoys, admire to come to the same.Love is firm in obedience, and kindness is tender in tenderness.

Anqing of Zshule Kingdom, Dirang of Magadha Kingdom, and Gawala of Yangjia Kingdom, bestowed the title of lord of the Three Kingdoms, ordered the Ministry of Rites, prepared county royal uniforms, ceremonial guards, gold book order charms, and engraved with gold seals of turtles and dragons , Bestow the Lord of the Three Kingdoms!
Erqi thinks that the duties of ministers should be cultivated, and they must be followed; they are grateful for the emperor's kindness, and there is no substitute for sincerity.Only obey Lun's words, and always respect and teach.

Qinzai! "

With this imperial decree, the Three Kingdoms were formally incorporated into the tributary system of the Yun Kingdom and became a vassal state of the Yun Kingdom.

Although these three countries are far away from the mainland of Yun Kingdom, the vassal state is only in name.But even so, it officially means that the power and influence of the Yun Kingdom has begun to extend to Tianzhu, the Western Regions and other places!
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms, although they all understand the official language.

But this imperial decree is written in gorgeous and complicated words, even ordinary Yun people may not be able to understand it, and they naturally can't understand it either.

But in fact, there was a notice from the Ministry of Rites long before going to court. At this time, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, and shouted in Mandarin with an accent:
"The minister of the small country, on behalf of the lord, thank Your Majesty for His grace!"

The envoys of the three kingdoms, who had received the imperial edict, withdrew in awe.

After that, the Tubo mission was summoned to the hall to have an audience.

Previously, Tubo had established a tributary relationship with Yunguo long ago.

However, compared with the Three Kingdoms of Shule, Tubo benefited from its favorable geographical location, and its tributary relationship with Yun Kingdom was more like equal trade.

And today the Tubo mission came here, naturally it was not for other reasons.

As soon as they entered the palace, the Tubo mission suddenly knelt down, under the astonished gazes of Xiao Cheng and all the officials, the Tubo mission actually began to cry bitterly, and said incomparably wronged:

"Please, Your Majesty Emperor Dayun, make the decision for me, Tubo!"

This action directly confused Xiao Cheng.

He knew Tubo came to show the enemy this time, but Xiao Cheng was a little surprised to act like this.

After reacting for a while, he finally felt that it would be inappropriate for Tubo envoys to cry bitterly in the Xuanzheng Palace. Xiao Cheng immediately said in a deep voice:

"What kind of injustice did you suffer, that you want me to make the decision for you?"

The Tubo envoy, wiping the tears off his face, showed a very sad face, and cried:

"So that His Majesty the Emperor will know that Nie Chi, the leader of our Tubo sheep tribe, has become more and more domineering since he was canonized by His Majesty the Emperor. Now, he has developed to the point where he dared to use Dayun's prestige and power to coerce us into the southwest of Tubo." Ministry, against the royal court, disaster Tubo, intended to stand on their own!"

"In Tubo territory, I was attacked by cavalry from the same tribe from time to time, and the people suffered from military chaos and suffered unspeakably. The foreign minister ordered Zanpu, please send ministers to reprimand and relieve the suffering of the Tubo people!"

On the dragon chair, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the Tubo envoy, and immediately said:
"I also know a lot about the Jiedu envoy of the Yang Tongbu...Since Tubo Zanpuqi Nieqi has sent people to cry and complain, I can't let it go!"

"Immediately issue an order to send officials from the Ministry of Rites to go to Yangtong Jiedu's mansion immediately, issue an order to reprimand, and order Nie Chi to stop fighting and not to harass the border of Tubo!"

Zhang Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, immediately came out and bowed down, bowing and saying:
"The minister leads the order!"

Just now, the Tubo Mission, who was crying with snot and tears, was slightly taken aback when they heard Xiao Cheng's words.

On the Tubo side, I don't know Yunguo, and spies have been placed in Luoxie City, and they even know about the secret contact between Qi Nieqi and Xiaguo's embroidered clothes envoy.

This time the mission came here, nominally to ask Xiao Cheng to send someone to reprimand Yang Tongbu.

But in fact, no one thinks that this matter can be done. After all, Yangtong Jiedushi is the Emperor Yun who supported the canonization and restrained the Tubo royal court. How could Emperor Yun agree?

In the final analysis, this matter is actually just to use this to make the current Emperor Yun feel that Tubo is weak and has no intention of confronting Yun Kingdom.

But they never expected that the Emperor Yun would nod without hesitation in the face of the Tubo envoy's cry.

This time, the Tubo envoy was stunned.

The corner of Xiao Cheng's mouth that was exposed under the slack was slightly curved at this time.

He was worried that he could not send a large group of soldiers and horses into the Western Regions via Tubo.This abandonment of Nie Qi gave him an excuse!

Go to the Yangtong Ministry and reprimand Yangtong Jiedushi Nie Chi for being unimportant.

The most important thing is the soldiers and horses that escorted the mission to the Yangtong Ministry!

At that time, this army will be able to openly use Tubo, Yangtong, and with the help of the Khotan Kingdom, the power of the Yun Kingdom will be extended into the Western Regions...

From now on, Xiao Cheng has completed everything in the overall situation of the world.

It only takes one battle with Xia Kingdom to unify the land of the Central Plains, let Dayun Kingdom rule the world, and coerce the world!
　I feel that this chapter should be the last chapter of the sixth volume...
