Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1023
Chapter 1030

Ran Mingqi said: "No matter for any country and regime, they are precious resources. A small amount of introduction may not attract the attention of the Japanese government, but now in our Wei Dynasty, the Japanese women have become the main force of the brothel. The Japanese government may not know. Is it difficult too?"

Li Ye suddenly looked a little ugly and said: "Your Majesty, it is not cold in a day. You allowed the caravans to be equipped with guards and weapons and equipment. It was okay a few years ago. These merchants were doing business in a serious manner. , They were afraid of being on the cusp of the storm, so they didn't dare to move. But now the businessman is too courageous!"

At the beginning of the year, Nanyang received the news.A guild hall of our Weiguo Nanyang Development Company in Boni State (the name of the ancient country of Boni State. Also known as "Boni" or "Huini". The ancient country of Brunei in the north of Kalimantan in Southeast Asia.) was attacked by local indigenous people and suffered heavy losses. , Dozens of merchants and fellows were killed.It is said that these merchants should ask our Nanyang garrison for help, but they did not do so. Instead, they gathered more than a dozen companies and thousands of guards, and directly dispatched the caravan guards to overthrow the regime of the Boni Kingdom, and supported a small tribal leader to act as a leader. their puppets.

These businessmen are so poisonous that they actually killed all the members of the royal family of Boni, and then let the new puppet king of Boni Kingdom claim vassalage from our Great Wei.They even dare to subvert the regime of a country, what else are they afraid to do?Although the Wa country has an emperor, it is a country in name, but their real power is in the hands of their respective daimyo. Together, any caravan can easily defeat one or several daimyos.

As early as seven years ago, Yang's firm of the Wei Kingdom Central South Development Company assembled seven armed merchant ships and led 420 caravan guards to land in Nakajima County, Owari Kuni, and defeated the coalition forces of the seven daimyos in Nakajima County, occupying most of Nakajima County. Owari was forced to donate five hundred catties of gold, 6 taels of silver, and four hundred Japanese women to Yang's firm, and this ended the war.As a result, the trade war between the Zhongnan Development Company and the Nanyang Development Company to plunder the Japanese country began.

These companies all have huge power and dense network of relationships. As long as I move here, they can smell the smell and run away. Those masterminds are all diamond-level or platinum-level members of the Great Wei Huaxia Business Alliance. I have the power to face the Holy Spirit directly, but I can't catch it if I catch it, and I can't kill it if I do it. If I do it, I will be attacked by groups. Not only will the intelligence system that I have worked so hard to build face collapse, but the country's fiscal revenue will fall into chaos!The minister didn't know what to do. "

Hearing this, Ran Ming was speechless.

With 50.00% profit, capitalists will take risks. With [-]% profit, they dare to trample on all laws in the world. If they have [-]% profit, they dare to risk the gallows.Now those businessmen dare to do anything for profit.

But at this time, unlike later generations, in this era when imperial power is supreme, imperial power is their sword, as long as necessary, imperial power can instantly crush those businessmen to death.Ran Ming admired the daring of the super firms of the Huaxia Business Alliance to attack the Japanese country. The Japanese country has a large population, at least five million people, and it may be difficult to kill them all.Knowing that the Wa country is a mountainous country, as long as they see that the momentum is wrong and hide in the cave, it is impossible for the Wei army to kill all these Wa people.

However, it is very appropriate to use the businessman's method. You must know that businessmen not only arrest young and beautiful Japanese women, but also strong Japanese warriors. These warriors have good skills and tactics, and once they are loyal, they are very loyal. The best candidate for the dead.The indigenous servants in various parts of Nanyang also absorbed many Japanese warriors. As long as this method is adopted, sooner or later, all the Japanese in the four islands of the Japanese country will be captured.

The imperial study room was quiet at this moment. After Li Ye finished speaking, the three of them remained silent. The atmosphere was a little tense. Wang Meng was also worried that Ran Ming would go mad and order those businessmen to be dealt with.Because Wang Meng understands that some things cannot be avoided.For example, in the factory-intensive areas of various places, those craftsmen basically live alone. They will not return to their hometowns unless they are on the Spring Festival holiday. Living alone for a long time, they need to meet their physiological needs. If prostitution is completely banned, these will not be vented. It is easy for craftsmen to rape or gang-rape women from good families.This will cause a very bad social phenomenon.In addition to these troops is also a very big problem, Wei Jun has no camp prostitutes, these soldiers can only go to nearby prostitute villages during holidays.

If the State of Wei bans prostitution in an all-round way, the chaos in law and order will only be a small problem. The key point is that the tax revenue will be affected. You must know that the State of Wei imposes a very high tax on brothels everywhere, and almost one-third of the profits of brothels are [-]/[-]. Into the treasury.After thinking about it for a while, Wang Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that those businessmen are too presumptuous, and they must be beaten. The longer it takes, the more difficult it will be to deal with in the future. Long-term pain is better than short-term pain. Those people don't know Self-love has failed His Majesty's expectations. If you want to blame, you can only blame them. This kind of relationship network will become bigger and bigger with the passage of time, and it will be difficult to move them in the future. This force was nipped in the bud."

In fact, Ran Ming didn't care about the businessman's status abroad. What he needed to consider was the impact on Wei. Once the government and business colluded, it would have a huge impact on the stability of the regime.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a very typical collusion between officials and businessmen. Officials acted as umbrellas for businessmen, and businessmen provided officials with a lot of money for those officials to exploit. This has gradually eroded the roots of the Ming Dynasty.

Considering these, Ran Ming decided that reason should prevail over emotion.Ran Ming asked: "Has the phenomenon of collusion between officials and businessmen in the Huaxia Business League been investigated? How many people are involved? How rampant are the merchant forces all over the country?"

Li Yedao: "Because our Royal Secret Service has been adjusting before, some information has not been sorted out too clearly. However, all major companies have already mixed into the detailed work of our Royal Secret Service. I can guarantee that I will be able to get it in at most two years." All the evidence of collusion between government and businessmen can bring those officials who act as umbrellas for businessmen to justice!"

Ran Ming said: "Some issues can be compromised, but there are some issues of principle that absolutely cannot be compromised. We support honesty with high salaries, and every official can live a life of superiors with their salaries. If they are not satisfied, then It is they who are looking for death. Once the government and business collude, the impact will be huge, and it will have a relatively large negative impact on the production and life of ordinary people. Execution, for the officials involved in the case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will intervene, and the officials involved in the case will implement a double stop, and Dali Temple and the courts in various places must try them severely and quickly."

What is a double stop?Double suspension means that government officials who violate discipline will be suspended from all duties and activities, and their personal freedom will also be restricted. They will not be allowed to contact anyone except investigators, and they will not be able to contact the outside world.Until the investigation is clear, those who have indeed violated discipline and crimes will be sent to a detention center, and the approval process will be carried out after three months.

Ran Ming's decision to take this nationwide anti-corruption action actually has three purposes. The first is to beat those restless businessmen and officials, and let them understand the majesty of the national law, which is sacred and inviolable.The second is to put an end to the corruption of court officials and rectify the administration of officials.In fact, the most fundamental reason for a dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline is the corruption of officials. Once it becomes corrupt and degenerate, it will not be far from perishing.The third is that the Western Regions have already been defeated, and the planned Tingzhou will also be formally established. Then the counties and counties of Tingzhou need to be populated, but no matter how mobilized, the population of voluntary immigrants is still too small, but the anti-corruption crackdown like the whole country, The involvement is too wide and there are many people involved in the case, so they can emigrate out of the Great Wall at once.

It can be called killing three birds with one stone. It can carry forward the name of Ran Ming, but all corrupt officials will cause great anger among the people. Dealing with corrupt officials will not only not make the people unhappy, but will win the support of the people.It can also fill the national treasury and the population of the Western Regions. This is definitely a stroke of genius.

After nearly a month of preparation, Ran Ming finally started to attack.At the Great Court Meeting in early October 4796 of the Yellow Emperor Era, Ran Ming directly proposed at the meeting: "In view of the fact that some officials acted as umbrellas for businessmen, opened the door for them, and used methods such as concealment and falsification to evade taxes and evade taxes. Competition, willfully suppress the prices of agricultural and sideline products in the hands of farmers, and engage in monopoly. Unscrupulous businessmen contribute huge funds to those corrupt officials, allowing them to gain profits in the officialdom. If this continues, there will be big problems. I have repeatedly emphasized , officials at all levels must always maintain the character and purity of officials, and they must always take the interests of the people as the leading factor. The inspection institutes and guards at all levels must strengthen the supervision of officials' integrity! Some officials disregard the overall situation and renounce themselves from the court for self-interest And the people of the whole country will also be abandoned by the court and the people. The court and the people of the whole country are in the same big boat. In order to obtain greater benefits, these people disregard the interests of others, which is tantamount to piercing this big boat , I want everyone to sink to the bottom of the sea, in order to keep this big ship, make it run more smoothly, and protect the interests of the majority of people, these black sheep must be eliminated from the court team!"

Ran Ming's speech was firmly supported by the cabinet and ministers of various ministries.Following the convening of the court meeting, the prime minister made Ran Ming's speech public to the people and the society through newspapers.After nine days of preparation, on October 4796, 10 in the era of the Yellow Emperor, the anti-corruption operation finally kicked off with the secret cooperation of the Royal Secret Service, the Anti-corruption Department, the Inspectorate and the Dasili.This special anti-corruption campaign involved a wide range, and the intensity of the attack was the largest since the founding of the Wei Kingdom.In the 10 counties and 21 counties of the 180 governors' departments in Wei State, a total of 27 special rectification working groups headed by ministers were dispatched from the central government.

In order to prevent this operation from being overwhelmed by thunder and rain, or that officials and officials would interact with each other, this operation would end hastily, Ran Ming specially ordered Wei Guotai Academy, Guozijian and other well-known college students and celebrities in the field, as well as major newspapers and media personnel to serve as the supervision team. All well-known media also sent capable reporters to follow up the whole process of reporting.

In fact, the evidence prepared by the Royal Secret Service is very sufficient, and the criminal evidence of the criminals and unscrupulous merchants is conclusive. However, this special attack made Ran Ming feel astonishing. All 21 assassination departments across the country have collusion between officials and businessmen. 180 people across the country In the eight counties, as many as 120 officials above the level of the prefect were double-suspended. The most serious one was the Department of Governors of Jiaozhou. However, only the prefect of Wuping County was spared, and more than two-thirds of other officials were "double-stopped".

This time Ran Ming did not choose to compromise, but all corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen who were caught were severely punished, especially for the corruption of businessmen, Ran Ming adopted a method of continuous sitting.As long as corrupt officials not only have their family wealth confiscated, but also involve three generations of their descendants, they will lose their qualifications for the imperial examination.

As far as Ran Ming is concerned, although it is a bit unhuman to propose this law, Ran Dan understands that as long as the interests are large enough, there will always be people who will take risks. Silver will be skinned and filled with grass.However, Ming Taizu did not kill all the corrupt officials in the world, and finally the Ming Dynasty perished on the issue of corruption.However, the price of not being able to participate in the imperial examination for two generations and not being recommended as an official is much more serious than peeling off the skin and pretending to be grass.No matter how much family wealth is accumulated, as long as no one becomes an official for three generations, the relationship between personal connections will be completely broken, and this price is unbearable for any official.In this era, it is not the future generations. Corrupt officials can be corrupt in China and enjoy it abroad.

At this time, most of the foreign countries are still a barren land, and the Wei State is not the kind of influence of the celestial dynasty in the later generations. It is estimated that no country or force is willing to accept the corrupt officials of the Wei State.Because what Wei Guo dislikes the most is protest, but what he likes most is direct use of force.

At this time, Ran Ming didn't pay too much attention to the anti-corruption campaign, but watched the gradually withering garden in the imperial garden and accompanied the sixth prince Ran Xiao.

"Father, truth and money are only within the range of the cannon. What does this sentence mean?" Ran Ming heard Ran Ming say that the truth is within the range of the cannon.He didn't understand what truth is, and Ran Ming told him that truth means money and reason.Hearing this explanation, Ran Yi was even more puzzled.

Ran Ming didn't care whether Ran Xiao could understand it or not, anyway, he said patiently: "The truth is actually very simple, that is to say, how far your cannon can hit, and where your army can hit, then you can fight against the distance from you." No matter how far people are reasonable, you can get the money you want from them. In layman's terms, wherever our army can go, that's our Great Wei's world. As long as it is our Great Wei's world, Under the threat of our cannons and troops, what we say is the king's law, the rules, and they must obey them unconditionally."

"Yes, yes!" Ran Xiao's face turned red when he heard this, he really couldn't figure out why there was such a big difference between what the husband said and what his father said?

"Xiao'er, you must be surprised that what your husband said is different from what your father said, right?" Ran Ming laughed.

Ran Yan nodded.

Ran Ming said: "That's your husband's mistake. If your husband teaches you this idea again, I will let you go to Europa to spread the way of saints. Don't even think about it, all the countries in the Western Regions are all vassals of our Great Wei China? If our Great Wei stationed tens of thousands of troops in the Western Regions, would they dare to massacre us Han people in the Western Regions? Surely not? Don’t look at the Western Regions’ surrender to Great Wei on the surface, but in fact they did not surrender at all. It’s about being your own king. The so-called surrender without a fight is not real surrender, you must completely subdue them before they will surrender and be honest!”

At this moment, Ran Ming suddenly saw a figure swaying in the imperial garden, and suddenly said: "Whoever is listening to the wall, get out here!"

These words of admonishing children are a bit too shocking and vulgar, which is contrary to the Confucian ideological and theoretical system. Once it is spread, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.At this moment, the figure in the corner of the garden finally walked in front of Ran Ming. Ran Ming took a closer look and it turned out to be his adopted son Valens.

Seeing Valens' uneasy expression, Ran Ming sighed, and finally knew that what he was worried about had become a reality.The motivation and purpose of Valens to enter the Great Wei Royal Military Academy are not pure.Of course, this is not to blame for Valens, because he doesn't know Wei's strategic plan for the Roman Empire at all, let alone Ran Ming's defense against him.

"Valence sees Father!" Valens is a ten-year-old child after all, and he can't keep calm in front of Ran Ming's powerful aura. His flustered heart has already betrayed him.

Although Ran Ming knows that children in this era are precocious, especially his two children, Ran Yun and Ran Bin, they seem to have been competing with each other since they were six or seven years old.Overtly and secretly scramble endlessly.However, this kind of struggle is still within the scope of Ran Ming's ideas.But Valens is only a ten-year-old child. In later generations, a ten-year-old child would still wet the bed, and would not even have the courage to fall asleep alone. However, Valens had received a Roman royal education, which seemed too terrifying.This scheming and foresight is beyond the reach of ordinary people.Ran Ming lamented in his heart, the royal education in the Roman Empire was too perverted to educate a child into a monster. Although such a monster might be better able to become the monarch of an empire, but as a human being, it would What a failure.

In fact, this kind of person who competes to the final victory is not the most suitable emperor for an empire.Just like the Ming Dynasty, their political system has been very perfect. The more effective emperors are in power, the national power and economy of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as those emperors who are ineffective.The royal education of the Roman Empire was to develop every child as comprehensively as possible. As a result, all members of the royal family were excellent, but they refused to accept each other, and naturally began to fight among themselves.The Roman Empire finally officially split into East and West in 395, and finally the Eastern Roman Empire was wiped out by the Ottoman Empire.

"Valens, if you believe in being a father, then the first thing you have to do is to be honest with me and tell me what you really think in your heart, otherwise you can go back to your residence and learn from Wang Meng honestly. The way of a sage!" Ran Ming said with some displeasure.
