Chapter 32 [Star Ancient Disaster]
moment.
Hulong came over with his head lowered, respectfully presented a document, and said, "Your Majesty, the situation has been investigated."
Yang Yu took the information presented by Huolong and read it carefully.
But after reading the information, Yang Yu put it away and handed it to Hulong. He looked at the Minister of Public Security and said, "I will give you three days. If you can't handle those things across the country, you can do it yourself."
moment.
The Minister of Public Security was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
How come the importance of the problem suddenly fell on me?
And what am I going to deal with?
Followed by.
Yang Yu's eyes fell on the group of farmers and said, "Don't worry. If you can't get your wages within three days, you can go to the gate of the palace and ask the guards to handle this matter for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so farmers kowtowed to the king and expressed their gratitude.
Yang Yu's eyes immediately turned cold, and he said, "Have you forgotten what I said? Kneel before the heavens, before the earth, and before your parents."
"Your Majesty, kneel to the heaven, to the earth, to your parents. We understand."
"But Your Majesty, you are our father. Kneeling to you is like kneeling to our parents!"
The farmer had attended school for a few days and said, "Your Majesty is the father of all the people in the world, and also our father. It is only natural for us to kneel before your majesty."
"That's all."
Yang Yu waved his hand slightly, and returned to the palace under the escort of the Royal Guards.
All the ministers in the cabinet were shocked, but no one tried to stop it.
The king must be angry.
Therefore, the work that was not completed was ended early.
Return to the palace.
Yang Yu once again flipped through the intelligence materials presented by the Dragon Guard and said, "This is really good! Forming gangs and factions, gradually forming evil forces? Bullying the people? Is this still our Xinggu Dynasty?"
"Select two people to form a national inspectorate, with the privilege of mobilizing thousands of troops from all over the country."
"Investigate those guys carefully for me."
"promise."
When Huolong received the words from the Lord, he naturally understood what the Lord meant.
They are the beasts that gradually formed and oppressed and exploited the people.
After Hulong left.
Yang Yu's eyes flickered as he said, "Help them secretly. Anyone who tries to stop the Inspector from handling the case, especially those who hold power, will be killed without mercy."
"promise."
A cold voice was heard in the darkness, and then disappeared.
Under his rule.
These things that cannot exist are absolutely not allowed to appear.
Anyone who dares to touch his people would be challenging his interests.
If they take action, no one will be left alive.
Don't tell him anything. Only those who hold privileges break the law, so why should their families be implicated?
When a person who holds privileges gains money through illegal means, and his family also enjoys his care, overtly or covertly, is he still innocent?
Not innocent.
……
Next.
The imperial court began a super-large rectification.
The security operations in counties and prefectures across the country were carried out on a large scale, with high-intensity crackdowns on those who openly or covertly violated the laws of the court or those who held privileges.
Just because of the news coming from the core of the court.
If you don't deal with those who violate the court's laws, then we will deal with you first.
The cabinet also implemented a personnel transfer policy.
Local people are not allowed to govern and handle local affairs, and must be transferred every three years. If they are unable to drive local development, they will retire and return to their hometown to enjoy their retirement.
This wave was a complete dimensionality-reduction-level attack on the officials of the Xinggu Dynasty.
The end of the year 370.
After two years of intensive attacks.
Many family businesses that originally owed wages to migrant workers have disappeared from the historical stage, never to recover.
There are many colluding businessmen who control the privileges. No matter how strong your family background is, you will be beheaded.
It's really a double whammy.
The past two years have been a time of heavy killing in the Xinggu Dynasty.
however.
Those in power don't want to care about those things at all.
They only know one sentence.
A dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist.
Spring, AD 371.
Floods hit Nan County, leaving tens of thousands of households homeless.
The Xinggu Dynasty launched a fundraising campaign for the first time, donating money and materials to the disaster area to help Nanjun survive the disaster. Under the supervision of the Night Organization, no one dared to commit favoritism or fraud, and all the relief funds went to the tens of thousands of displaced people.
371, early summer.
A large-scale earthquake occurred in Shu, and many families were displaced. With the publicity of the imperial court, the earthquake spread throughout the country at an extremely fast speed.
The people donated money to him one after another, hoping that Shu could overcome the crisis as soon as possible.
Nanjun, who had just built his house and settled down, took out all the money in his family and donated his strength to Shu.
They are all citizens of the Xinggu Dynasty. When they were hit by the disaster, people donated daily necessities and even money to them. Why should they just watch others suffer from the disaster?
At the same time, Shu is also an important area under the jurisdiction of Yizhou.
As the earthquake in Shu ended.
Severe droughts followed one after another across the world.
The crops were all burned to death by the scorching sun, leaving the people of the dynasty with nothing to harvest.
Just as the people were worried about the severe drought and not having enough food to pay taxes, the cabinet was already in a state of panic.
"This year is the most difficult year for my Xing Gu, and it is also the most difficult year in history."
"I suggest that we cancel this year's taxes so that people all over the world can have a peaceful and stable new year."
The Prime Minister looked at the ministers present and said, "First, there was a flood in Nanjun, then there was a dragon in Shu, and then there was a severe drought. These disasters caused many people to lose their crops..."
"But if we exempt taxes this year, it will have a huge impact on the operation of the entire court."
The Finance Minister frowned and said, "It will also have a huge burden and impact on next year's military expenditure and various construction projects."
"What can it affect?"
"Have you ever heard the king's words: Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it?"
"Do you want to force the people of the world to revolt?"
The Prime Minister said in a deep voice: "The court is like a boat on the water, and the people are the water that carries us. When the wind is calm, we can float on the water, but if the wind and waves are strong, the water will also be turbulent. Small waves can be calmed, but what about big waves? When big waves come, the small boat may capsize at any time."
"I know what you mean, if the people pay taxes, they can still live until the end of next year."
"What if, I mean what if, what if there is a natural disaster next year?"
"Do you want to force the people to rebel?"
at this time.
A figure walked in from outside the cabinet palace, glanced at everyone present, cleared his throat, and said: "The king has ordered that the whole country will be exempted from taxes this year. If next year is the same as this year, taxes will still be exempted."
"In terms of finance, order the Minister of Finance to deal with the turbulence in the market. If the prices of food or various daily necessities fluctuate by more than 10% from the original level, the Minister of Finance will retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his remaining years."
