Chapter 1591 Shanxi Merchants
"Your Majesty, now that the nobles and clan are weak, and the civil servants in the court are dominant, this may not be a good thing for the country!" On the way back to Beijing, Lu Wenzhao said worriedly.
"It's okay, those civil servants in the court are not of the same mind!" Shen Long didn't take this to heart at all, how many tricks can the civil servants come up with? Xungui has military power in his hands, and dare to rebel in a hurry, what can they do? Are you colluding with Jiannu or trying to drug yourself? He is not afraid of these, Shen Long is not Zhengde or Tianqi.
The situation in Daming today may be a bit like Lao Maozi at the turn of the century. At that time, Lao Maozi's oligarchs controlled the country's economic lifeline and channels of public opinion, and their rule seemed unbreakable.
But after the Great Emperor came to power, their good days will come to an end. The Great Emperor controls the old Maozi's intelligence department and gathers military power, so these financial oligarchs become meat on the chopping board, Gusinsky, Berezovs Key, Khodorkovsky, Smolensky, Vinogradov, Malkin and other oligarchs were either arrested and imprisoned, or fled abroad.
The oligarchs on the Bangzi side are awesome because the president of the Bangzi has no way to completely control the army. When Old Park was there, they were as good as their grandsons. Now they are trembling because the current president is compared with Old Pu. Americans support them.
The power accumulated solely by public opinion and money is unreliable. The most reliable power is the stick of violence. As long as Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and the army are still in his control, Shen Long will not be afraid of these civil servants at all. Well, in terms of influence on the country, these civil servants are far behind the old Maozi's financial oligarchs.
"After you return to Beijing, check it out for me. What did they do during the time I was not in the capital? Have you restrained yourself?" If you are obedient and okay, I don't bother to pursue the past, but if you If you don’t open your eyes and keep poking at Daming’s corners like before, then don’t blame me for being rude.
Dayuan Island and Qiongzhou Island are still short of people! And in another year at most, I plan to enter Southeast Asia, which also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and I will just get it back from you.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shen Lian and the others are watching over the capital! But if there is any change, I will report it to Your Majesty immediately!" Lu Wenzhao also didn't like these civil servants.
"That's good!" Shen Long nodded, and continued to move forward. This time he went back and changed his route. He also kept meeting local officials along the way to check their work, or reward them for promotion, or dismiss them for questioning. , After going back and forth twice, the local officials may be stable for a year or two, right?
As for the long time, Shen Long dare not expect extravagantly. He really knows the virtues of civil servants in Ming Dynasty very well. He may not even be able to bear it for a year or two. When the time comes, their necks will be harder. Shen Long's knife is still faster.
Walking unhurriedly along the way, this day finally arrived outside the capital, and everyone became excited, and they were finally able to go home after being away for so long.
"Your Majesty welcomes His Majesty back to the capital!" Outside the capital, all the ministers came out of the city to greet Shen Long. They did not expect that the next time His Majesty went to the south of the Yangtze River, there would be such a big commotion. The expulsion of the imperial family relieved a heavy burden for Ming Dynasty, and then the nobles of Jinling were scooped up, and many wealthy families that had been passed down for more than two hundred years were cut off from then on.
When they thought of this, they were covered in sweat, and when they saw Shen Long again, they didn't dare to peek at Longyan. His Majesty's dragon power is really getting heavier. Why did his heart beat faster after seeing His Majesty again after several months?
Can you not be afraid? No matter how awesome they are, how can they be as awesome as those princes and dukes? Shen Long cleaned up so many piles without saying a word. Wouldn't it be easy to clean them up?
If other emperors,
These civil servants can also use the name of the ancestral system or the relationship between heaven and man to persuade Shen Long, but Shen Long is different. He has been approved by the heavens and sent a golden dragon to send back the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. They were also rewarded by Taizu's response, and the killer weapons of these two civil servants were completely useless in front of Shen Long.
Besides, the reasons why people deal with the clan and nobles are also impeccable. Even daring to have problems with the sacrifices worshiping Emperor Gaozu, this is a great disobedience. Dealing with them cannot be more legitimate; The civil servants don't know what to say, His Majesty is right in front of you, and you actually mobilized your troops on a large scale. You really think you have lived too long.
Of course, the most important thing is to deal with the nobles and the clan, which is of great benefit to the civil society, so they did not stop Shen Long's actions, but supported them. He made a huge fortune, if it wasn't for His Majesty's love to invade and implicate the criminals' hometown, they might all blow Shen Long into a holy king through the ages.
But, if the killing continues like this, sooner or later these civil servants will call Shen Long that. After all, Kang Mazi will kill them very well in the future, won't they still brag about Kang Mazi as a holy king?
"I'm leaving Beijing this time, you guys have worked hard!" Shen Long said a few nonsense with a blank face, and then returned to the palace surrounded by the officials. It was naturally very cordial to see Empress Zhou again.
Empress Zhang also sighed when she saw Shen Long. She didn't think so far-reaching, but felt that the clan was all relatives of the royal family. The sacrifices they offered were inappropriate and they were angry, so Empress Zhang only expressed a few words of emotion, and did not persuade Shen Long to take back his life.
After resting for two days, Shen Long continued to deal with official duties, first finished processing the memorials that needed to be approved, and then began to check the important information sent by Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
First of all, of course, in Liaodong, the civil strife of building slaves is still not over. After losing Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, A Min, Dai Shan, Dorgon and others refused to accept each other, and there was no way to twist into a rope and make peace. Ming fights.
On the other hand, in order to atone for their crimes, Zu Dashou and the others had to resort to their housekeeping skills to compete with Jian slaves. In addition, after Mao Wenlong got ample supply of food, grass and ordnance, their combat effectiveness soared, and they attacked steadily from east to west. The slave's territory became smaller and smaller as it was compressed.
Seeing that Jiannu was about to fall into desperation, but he was still dealing with Jiannu with a bit of blindness. Shen Long saw the evidence of collusion between Shanxi merchants and Jiannu in the intelligence!
