Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

The fewer middlemen there are, the more wealth the people generate and the more the emperor can get.

Similarly, the fewer middlemen there are in the policies implemented by the emperor, the more rights the people can enjoy.

There will always be more and more middlemen, more and more levels, and more and more links - when a certain critical point is reached, the emperor will have to cut off a wave of middlemen and replace them with a new batch.

If the emperor doesn't chop it down, the people will help you chop it down.

By the way, the emperor was also beheaded.

There is no doubt that the critical point has been crossed now - the people can still tolerate it, but the emperor can no longer tolerate it.

He was in urgent need of wealth and popularity to continue to consolidate his position.

But chopping people down also requires skills. The chopping must be reasonable and convincing.

"This is what I said, why we need Eunuch Wang to get involved - he will definitely be able to catch all these corrupt officials!"

When Qiao Yelan stretched out his hand, the confused Wang Zhi appeared.

Ah I?

The eunuch's conditioned reflex came out instantly, and Eunuch Wang fell to his knees with a thud.

"My servant is stupid, please explain clearly, sir!"

"Your Majesty knows that among the Heavenly Masters under the Dali Temple, in addition to trying cases, they also have the responsibility of supervising all officials in the country - it is called the Suzhengyuan. However, there are not enough Heavenly Masters, and there are only a few who are qualified and capable of conducting supervision alone."

Qiao Yelan came up with his own plan.

"In this case, why not take this opportunity to have both the Shaofu and the Suzhengyuan take charge of this function, but the two sides act separately - the Tianshi has a transcendent status, but is short of manpower, while the Shaofu has an insufficient status, but is fully staffed."

Wang Zhi's heart moved.

He climbed up step by step in the palace to become the eunuch in charge of the imperial ceremonies. When they worked together before, Qiao Yelan did not hide anything from him. Therefore, although Eunuch Wang still appeared to be hesitant, he had actually already taken control of the affairs of the Shaofu.

Qiao Yelan's approach was exactly the same as the way he defeated Cai Yan before - pulling off the tiger skin of the Heavenly Master, and then taking control of the overall situation under the shadow of the tiger skin.

The emperor nodded slightly. This method did make sense.

The Shaofu has made remarkable achievements during this period. The supervision network for all officials in the capital has taken shape. A lot of news and intelligence were summarized by Wang Zhi and submitted to the emperor, no matter how big or small.

This was the path Wang Zhi chose after consulting Qiao Yelan.

No matter who or what the emperor wanted to investigate, he would hand over everything without any personal summary or personal screening - even if he was scolded by the emperor for handing over such trivial matters, he never changed his code of conduct.

Although the emperor scolded him verbally, it was just scolding. Not only did he not impose more severe punishments, but he also gave him a lot of rewards, saying that he had done a good job.

However, being able to do well in the capital does not mean that the Shaofu can roll out this system throughout Dayan - this kind of means can only be controlled by the emperor, and therefore can only be limited to the capital.

"Your Majesty, you can select the best fighters in the Shaofu to form a special team. When the Suzhengyuan goes to a certain place to investigate, this team can sneak in secretly. The whereabouts of the Heavenly Master can be easily leaked, but the Shaofu team can easily hide their whereabouts."

"Besides, if the whereabouts of the Shaofu team are also leaked, it will be much easier to investigate."

Qiao Yelan laughed softly, and Wang Zhi's hair stood on end.

"Master Qiao is right. If it is a problem within the Shaofu, I will be able to find those filthy guys if I go through it once!"

Eunuch Wang quickly expressed his opinion.

The emperor nodded slowly.

It is unrealistic to deploy the Shaofu to Dayan, but it is effective and feasible to organize a special undercover team to investigate various places under the cover of the Heavenly Master.

"Wang Zhi."

"The slave is here."

"You must start preparing immediately. Select a group of good men from the Shaofu to form a team. They will be sent out to conduct field visits and investigations in other places. During the Ministry of Personnel's inspection at the end of this year, I will see what this team can do."

"This slave accepts the order!"

Wang Zhi knelt on the ground, but he hadn't finished speaking.

This team is in his hands now, but he only has confidence in the people under his nose in the capital. Who knows if this person will be bribed by others after he goes out for a walk and comes back?

It’s better to add a layer of insurance.

"Your Majesty, this team was born out of the Shaofu, but it is different from the Shaofu. Just like the Shaofu, they work directly for Your Majesty. Please give it a name."

The emperor thought for a moment and made a decision.

"They carry my expectations and serve as my henchmen, but they have to act in secret and cannot be known by outsiders. Just like a person wearing brocade clothes but has to walk at night - let's call them the Brocade Guards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

Only then did Wang Zhi get up from the ground and walk aside respectfully.

Qiao Yelan couldn't help but look up to this eunuch Wang.

After these words were spoken, in name, the Jinyiwei was named by His Majesty and was directly under His Majesty. Even if something happened, it would be His Majesty who would deal with it - but in reality, the command of the Jinyiwei was also in the hands of Wang Zhi.

This means that if the Jinyiwei makes achievements, Wang Zhi can benefit from it, but if the Jinyiwei has problems, Wang Zhi will not be implicated.

He really learned some skills from his godfather and really knew how to minimize the possibility of being implicated.

The emperor ignored Wang Zhi and turned his attention back to Qiao Yelan.

"Qiao Aiqing, you have solved another big problem for me."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I am just throwing out some ideas. Your Majesty cares about the people of the nine provinces, so I think my words can help relieve your worries instead of adding to the noise."

Qiao Yelan bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty had read the memorial I submitted before entering the palace?"

His goal has been achieved. The emperor once again has a channel to receive information that is not deceived or controlled by anyone. Then, someone who is still weaving an information cocoon after the death of the previous emperor will probably be caught off guard.

So Qiao Yelan once again brought the topic back to the main point.

"I have read it. Your Excellency has worked extremely hard on this visit. Although there are one or two people who are ignorant of the current situation, they are all insignificant minor characters. Your Excellency has already convinced those who will truly affect the flow of Longmen Coins - this is a great achievement."

Speaking of Longmen Coin, the emperor's expression became a little happier. Compared to arguing with bureaucrats, this kind of open source thing is always more enjoyable.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"During the time that you have been on this trip, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue have come up with a whole new set of currency designs and a new mint. The Ministry of Justice has also tailored a new set of laws for Longmen coins based on sentencing. I have ordered them to make this law public before Longmen coins are issued."

Although Qiao Yelan has left, there are still many people who care about this matter. Cai Yan and Chen Fan are still bickering with each other on the surface, but when it comes to doing things, they are still quite efficient.

After all, if this thing is done well, everyone will make money together. Whoever dares to hinder at this time will be dragged into the coffin and buried alive by a group of people.

As for Wei Yanwu, although the emperor was reluctant to mention it, Qiao Yelan had already received news from there early on - Old Wei had already selected the location of the mint and security measures had been taken.

It was difficult for him. After all, he had to take care of Longmen affairs during the day and his wife at night. Kal'tsit checked and found that Princess Wen Yue was also pregnant with a girl.

However, Wei Yanwu was very satisfied with this. The Longmen Coin project attracted almost everyone's attention, so no one was interested in Princess Wenyue and his sister who suddenly lived in seclusion. Even the people in the capital did not pay much attention to his backyard.

"Since I have obtained these basic treaties that you have discussed, I will soon order Chen Fan to form a real negotiation team to discuss this matter with various countries."

"Your Majesty, I wonder how Ursus and Casimir react to my Dragon Gate Coin?"

Qiao Yelan suddenly asked.

"Ursus remained silent, but they had not raised any objections at this time, which meant they were planning to join in. Casimir's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. They sent an envoy directly, but Minister Chen talked to them twice, saying that these barbarians were greedy by nature and there was no need to bother with them. When the time was right, they would lower their terms."

It seems that the group of businessmen did not disappoint me. I just went with the flow and got the situation I wanted.

Qiao Yelan showed a hint of contempt in his smile, which was a contempt from the inside out for the Casimir Chamber of Commerce.

This is the attitude we need -

Only then can he promote Longmen Coin more smoothly.

Chapter 132 The Problem

The day after Qiao Yelan secretly entered the palace, Dayan court.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Qiao Yelan, has led a delegation to visit the three kingdoms with your Majesty's high hopes. He has now returned to the capital. I would like to present a memorial to show your majesty's majesty."

The emperor waved his hand.

"Xuan."

"Summon the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Qiao Yelan, to the palace for an audience."

A eunuch pushed Qiao Yelan out of the hall, gently lifted him up, and carried him and his wheelchair over the threshold of the hall, then put him down and pushed him in front of the emperor before hurriedly retreating.

"Your servant Qiao Yelan pays respect to Your Majesty."

"I love you, no courtesy."

Many officials in the court expressed their surprise - they had never seen his majesty speak to anyone in such a friendly manner.

Qiao Yelan and the others also knew him. More than half a year ago, in order to deal with Prime Minister Cai Yan, the emperor deliberately promoted a man in white clothes and directly promoted him to the third-rank Shaofujian.

After Cai Yan fell from power, the emperor wanted to reorganize the Shaofu, and kicked the Shaofu Supervisor, who had just been in high demand, to the Honglu Temple. Although he was nominally the Minister of Rites, he actually only held the position of a fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister.

Isn't this man just a tool to be thrown away after use? Why does the emperor value him so much?

Prime Minister Cai and Shangshu Chen, who really knew the truth, were now watching their colleagues intently and had no intention of answering their colleagues' questions.

"Your Majesty, I have lived up to your trust and visited Lateran, Leitania, and Victoria. I have brought back the attitudes of the heads of the three countries and the vassal kings of various places towards Da Yan."

"In that case, I will now hear your achievements."

Cai Yan and Chen Fan's eyes also lit up.

Unlike other officials, they truly knew that Qiao Yelan’s trip was not only to promote the power of Great Yan, but also to secretly test these people’s attitudes towards Longmen coins.

That's why they thought that Qiao Yelan's visit this time was actually a tough job. After all, everyone could see that whoever issued the Longmen coins would get the lion's share - it was not an easy task to get others to behave themselves and share the profits.

When Qiao Yelan finished telling them the results of the visit, their eyes almost popped out.

"Except for Grand Duke Gao Duoting, all other countries or territories are willing to befriend Great Yan. Both sides will open border trade and send envoys to the court."

After hearing Qiao Yelan's words, the other ministers couldn't help but feel relieved and showed proud expressions.

I, Dayan, am invincible in the world.

When these words fell into the ears of Chen Fan and Cai Yan, they were directly translated into another meaning -

Grand Duke Godoting directly refused, but all other forces overwhelmingly expressed their willingness to join the Longmen Coin system and planned to conduct in-depth negotiations with Dayan.

How is this done?

Could it be that Qiao Yelan is some kind of innate diplomatic saint?

The two of them didn't even care about the conflict and struggle between them. They looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

They had all made a decision - to send someone to ask other people in the delegation to find out what kind of ups and downs their journey had been and what thrilling negotiations had taken place.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

At this time, Mr. Shaoqing was yawning and just got up from the bed.

Of course I have to sleep after I get home. Anyway, Lord Qiao has gone to court, so isn’t it enough to have him go?

"Would you like to lie down for a while?"

Thinking of this, Shaoqing turned around and lay back.

touch!

-------------------------------------------------- ----

"Qiao Aiqing, you did a great job. You did a great job!"

The emperor had already received the news yesterday, but when he heard Qiao Yelan read the matter out again in the court, he still could not suppress his excitement.

This is the minister that my father left for me to take care of. Wei Yanwu, do you have such a minister to take care of?

"I congratulate Your Majesty. With this, the reputation of our Great Yan will spread far and wide once again."

Chen Fan immediately took a step forward and won the first prize.

"We congratulate your majesty."

All the ministers congratulated His Majesty.

"This is a grand event for Great Yan. The Ministry of Rites should discuss with the Honglu Temple the time for the various countries to send envoys. Then we can hold a grand event in the capital to make Great Yan powerful, announce it to our people, and show it to all nations!"

The emperor waved his sleeves with satisfaction.

"I will receive the order."
