Chapter 399 Bombshell
The first thing Xiao Yichen did after taking power was to announce the establishment of the "Jinyiwei" in the court.

Civil and military officials all jumped out to oppose.

Xiao Yichen said lightly, "The Jinyiwei is under the authority of the Great Zhou. They monitor all officials and eliminate all injustices in the world. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. You are strongly opposing this. Are you worried about something?"

All the civil and military officials shut up immediately. If they continued to object, it would mean that there was something wrong with them.

Then Xiao Yichen announced that he would expand the city.

When the civil and military officials heard Xiao Yichen say that he wanted to expand half of the capital, they all became nervous.

Everyone wants to buy land to build houses and shops, so that the rent collected in the future can be a huge income.

Before they could say anything, Xiao Yichen said that the new city would have a unified planning, unified house and shop construction, and no one would be allowed to buy and sell land privately, etc.

Naturally, the civil and military officials were not happy about this and were about to make suggestions when Xiao Yichen dropped another bombshell: he was going to build a university town covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres in the new city, which would include several colleges including the National Defense College and the Medical College.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall could no longer sit still.

They were not able to get any share of the capital's expansion, and they were very unhappy about it.

Now they are planning to build a university town and open new colleges, which is blatantly taking away the cake that they already have.

The civil servant thought to himself that since ancient times, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, scholars were ranked at the top, and they had studied hard for more than ten years just to pass the exam and become an official one day.

Doctors and craftsmen are low-ranking professions. If there were specialized colleges and a regular staff in the future, how would they feel?

The military officers in the hall felt a little uncomfortable at first. All along, the military generals of the Great Zhou were promoted by the military officers of extremely high ranks who supported the soldiers under them and also had military merits.

Then he thought, now that His Highness is going to open the National Defense College, all generals in the future will come from the National Defense College, which can effectively prevent a general from becoming self-righteous and even rebelling.

Although these military officers usually don't like to use their brains, their brains work better than those of civil officials at critical moments. They quickly figured out what Xiao Yichen meant, and immediately became silent, starting to watch from the sidelines, waiting to see the civil officials' show.

The civil servants in the hall looked at each other. No matter which faction they belonged to, they were all making faces and pushing each other silently, hoping that others would speak out against them first.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so even if Xiao Yichen wants to blame someone, he can't put the blame on them.

Xiao Yichen saw that the faces of the civil and military officials in the hall changed again and again, but no one spoke out against it, so he raised his eyebrows at the emperor proudly.

The emperor glared at him fiercely, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

As the Prime Minister of the dynasty, Su Hao would not be able to make the officials below submit if he did not say something. He considered carefully and said, "Your Highness, since you want to expand the capital and build several colleges at once, I think it is inappropriate."

Xiao Yichen stood there with his tall figure, like a towering mountain, making people look up to him.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that the treasury is well-stocked, why not? If we want to build a prosperous, strong, peaceful and secure world's number one power, education is particularly important.

Education is the foundation of a century-long plan. If education thrives, the country thrives; if education is strong, the country is strong.

For example, the National Defense College offers courses in strategy, campaigns, military command training, military services, logistics, and foreign training, and can provide a large number of various military talents for the major military camps of the Great Zhou.

For example, in medical schools, how many ordinary people die from illness because they cannot afford medical treatment, how many women die from childbirth complications, and how many doctors work in isolation and are unable to treat many diseases.

A medical school has been opened, and interested doctors from all over the country can go to the medical school to discuss medical skills and learn together. By then, we will pool our wisdom and open departments of surgery, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology to increase the health of the people of Da Zhou..." Xiao Yichen's voice was full of confidence, and his dark eyes sparkled, as if the whole world was in his hands.

The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, not even the sound of breathing. Everyone was shocked by Xiao Yichen's lofty ambitions. Their hearts were suddenly filled with great passion and they made up their minds to follow Xiao Yichen to accomplish great things and create a prosperous Great Zhou together with him.

Ling Yunsu, as the newly-appointed Duke of Jingguo, was the first to step out and said loudly, "I am willing to assist Your Highness with all my strength and will serve you until my death!"

At that moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall said in unison: "We are willing to assist Your Highness with all our strength and will serve you until our death!"

The sound was deafening and resounded through the sky!
Xiao Yichen was also moved by their lofty ambitions, and his voice was full of strength and determination: "Very good! Together with you, I will create a prosperous and peaceful world where the country is rich and the people are strong."

The emperor secretly gave Xiao Yichen a thumbs up. No matter what these ministers would do in the future, at this moment they all sincerely wanted to assist Chen'er.

Xiao Yichen was a man who knew how to seize opportunities, and taking advantage of the high enthusiasm of the civil and military officials, he immediately began to assign them various tasks. As Xiao Yichen issued instructions one after another, they suddenly realized that they seemed to have been tricked.

Even if they wanted to object, it was too late.

When Shen Zhuoyun returned home from court and told Shen Jia about this, she just smiled and said nothing.

Today, a message came from the Lingnan Research Institute that the hybrid rice they are researching this year has achieved a yield of six denarii per mu, which is half more than that of ordinary rice.

In recent years, they have devoted themselves to the research of hybrid rice, and the yield per mu has been increasing every year. Now the whole south is planted with hybrid rice.

The emperor promoted them last year, and now they are all sixth-rank agricultural officials, one level higher than the magistrate of Yi County.

In recent years, the weather has been good and high-yield grain has been distributed throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. The people have enough food and clothing. According to reports from local government offices, the birth rate of children has doubled every year.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?" The voices of Shen Yun and Shen An interrupted Shen Jia's thoughts.

Zhou Sihua and Zhou Size also looked at her.

"nothing."

Shen Jia raised his eyes to look at them. After not seeing them for more than three years, the four of them had grown a lot taller, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, just like four handsome young men.

The four of them passed the college entrance examination last year and became scholars, and are now studying in the Imperial College.

The six sons of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion are all handsome and elegant. Except Shen Hao who is engaged, the other five are not yet engaged.

With a good family background, good looks and good education, the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion has become the family that all the high-ranking nobles in the capital most want to marry into.

The first people invited to each banquet must be Gu and Yao.

Even though Gu and Yao had already spread the word that they would not interfere in their children's marriages, there were still people who enjoyed playing matchmaker. Some ladies of noble birth brought their daughters (granddaughters) to chat with them, and their words were full of praise.

Gu and Yao were extremely annoyed by the disturbances. Apart from the banquets hosted by some relatives and friends such as the Qingping Marquis' Mansion and Su Shoufu, they turned down all other banquets that they could.

For the sake of the family and the children, Shen Jia could still understand normal interactions as long as there was no trickery behind the scenes.

After all, her uncle is the second-rank governor of Menggu Province, and her cousin is a fifth-rank general. He will return to the Imperial College tomorrow to continue his studies and take the imperial examinations. His future is limitless. Her two cousins ​​have passed the examinations to become scholars at such a young age, so their future achievements will not be far behind.
