Chapter 1772: Work, etiquette, and punishment
The most important thing is that the existence of imperial merchants will prevent them from disturbing the market and exploiting the common people.
As long as their business methods are legal and reasonable, they can make more money no matter how much they do.
Moreover, Fan Li actually dared to let the businessmen go to make money, so he naturally had a series of countermeasures.
Although the Tianwu Dynasty was established not long ago, the system is very complete.
Shang wants to fight with officials...Fan Li can definitely make them doubt their life.
In the imperial study room, Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but stand up after hearing Fan Li's remarks.
With a sincere look on his face, he bowed and said: "Mr. Fan, the dynasty looks bright on the outside, but it has reached the most difficult stage financially."
"You are the only one who can turn the tide now. I would like to thank Mr. Fan on behalf of the frontline troops."
Everyone on the field was shocked.
They had been fortunate enough to see Xiao Tianyang's domineering posture and arrogant words when facing the enemy from a distance.
But now he could actually bring Corporal Li Xian to this point, and he was naturally surprised in his heart.
In fact, whatever a high-ranking person does, they will be put under a magnifying glass.
Their advantages will be infinitely magnified, and their flaws will be no exception.
It's just that as Xiao Tianyang is an emperor, no one dares to say bad things about him.
Moreover, since he founded the Tianwu Dynasty, it can be said that he has been diligent and has no bad deeds to speak of.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that it is too domineering at best.
However, most of the people who can point out this shortcoming are people or forces who have been abused by Shenwu.
Whether it was Shenwu in the past or Tianwu Dynasty today, they all have a principle, that is, they will not take action easily.
If you choose to take action...it doesn't matter what your reasons are, just kill them first.
No matter before or now, Xiao Tianyang has never been afraid of following others' opinions.
A mouth is on a person, and it is difficult to shut him up unless he is killed.
Therefore, the Tianwu Dynasty and Shenwu also retain Xiao Tianyang's principles of conduct.
Either pretend not to hear, or directly kill someone.
From the above behavior, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Tianyang is a decisive person.
But now Xiao Tianyang showed his extraordinary side, which was his true temperament.
Of course, Fan Li was surprised inside, but his reactions and actions were not slow at all.
I saw him hurriedly bowing and saluting, and replied: "I will definitely live up to the king's high expectations and do my best to facilitate this matter."
The two of them sat down respectively, and Xiao Tianyang continued the previous topic and asked: "What Mr. Fan just talked about is a long-term solution."
"However, the financial deficit of the Tianwu Dynasty cannot be ignored now... Mr. Fan, is there any quick fix?"
Fan Li pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, it is said that the former general is now leading an army to sweep through the Elemental Continent and collect resources."
"May I ask if this is the case?"
Xiao Tianyang nodded and said: "Exactly, and I personally gave the order."
He immediately reacted and asked: "Could the solution have something to do with this?"
Fan Li pondered: "It is rumored that there is a rare crystal in the Elemental Continent. It is not only beautiful, but also has certain practical value."
"If the king can put it into the national treasury this time, and then sell it to the private sector, the fiscal deficit problem should be solved."
When Xiao Tianyang heard this, he said without hesitation: "Mr. Fan will be fully responsible for this matter. I only care about the results."
His words were clear enough.
The essence is to ask the people present in the six departments to cooperate with Fan Li to complete the task.
After the matter in the Ministry of Household Affairs was settled, Xiao Tianyang turned to look at the talents of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Etiquette.
However, Xiao Tianyang didn't have much to say about them.
Because the Ministry of Works needs funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs to continue to carry out the tasks left behind.
In addition, Li Bing and Li Kui also provided suggestions from their professional perspectives.
Xiao Tianyang naturally accepted this happily.
Of course, he actually had no reason to refuse.
Not only do the two of them make sense, but also because the two of them are very efficient in their practice.
As for the results, they were even more immediate.
No one jokes about big projects.
Don't look at it, Xiao Tianyang now appreciates them very much and respects them very much.
If things were not done well, if it was not a matter of personal ability, Xiao Tianyang would not blame them.
But if it's a question of ability and the person talks nonsense before starting, then it would be considered a light crime for Xiao Tianyang to cut him alive.
As for the Ministry of Rites, the issue is more complicated.
The main reason is that Xiao Tianyang feels that Zhang Yi is a little wronged by the position of Minister of Rites.
Nowadays, the Tianwu Dynasty is the only one in Douluo Continent, and there is no possibility of peace talks with foreign enemies.
According to the above statement, Zhang Yi's diplomatic methods will be of no use.
Fortunately, he is very capable in all aspects and has made great achievements in political achievements.
Of course, Xiao Tianyang's explanation also made Zhang Yi feel much better.
Besides, he doesn't have nothing to do now, so naturally he won't be dissatisfied.
Xiao Tianyang settled the issue between the Ministry of Work and the Ministry of Rites, and then looked at the representative of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, the first question he asked surprised everyone present.
"Shang Yang, what do you think of the major families in the Tianwu Dynasty?"
After he finished speaking, he added: "Including the Tang family who committed crimes before, there is no need to be taboo, just say it."
According to common sense, even if Xiao Tianyang wants to deal with a big family, he should discuss it with Xiao He.
But now when Xiao Tianyang faced Shang Yang, he didn't ask about the criminal law. Instead, he asked about the affairs of the major families.
Everyone on the field was slightly surprised.
After all, it is difficult not to think deeply about the problem of donkey's lips and horse's mouth.
However, the great talents on the field are all human beings.
Shang Yang was the first to react.
The main reason is that he has taken over related cases before, and the final result satisfied both parties.
But Shang Yang also knew that Xiao Tianyang hated people who made little moves behind his back.
Especially when Xiao Tianyang is away on an expedition, those who still stir up trouble in his rear area will be even more hated.
However, Xiao Tianyang's questions need to be answered carefully.
First, what Xiao Tianyang said does not need to be taboo and can be believed.
The reason has been mentioned before.
Secondly, Xiao Tianyang hopes to deal with this matter, but does not want it to cause too much trouble.
And he happened to meet the two requirements, so he was selected by Xiao Tianyang to handle this matter.
Shang Yang pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is different from the cases I handled before."
Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but become interested and asked: "What's the difference?"
Shang Yang replied: "The major families in the Tianwu Dynasty are only suffering from ringworm and scabies, which is nothing to worry about."
"If you really want to remove it, I only need means to achieve your goal."
"However, the impact of their actions will affect the Tianwu Dynasty itself..."
Xiao Tianyang lowered his eyes, carefully considering every word Shang Yang said.
What he actually wanted to express was very simple, that is, to restrict the major families.
If it really needs to be uprooted, it will cause a series of troubles later on.
Of course, the source of trouble is not the major families themselves, but the rising upstarts.
For example, Yue Fei, Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others.
A family is indispensable for the continuation of the family lineage, and spreading its branches and leaves is also an inevitable step in the future.
Xiao Tianyang is now eager to liquidate the major families, so how should Yue Fei and others deal with themselves in the future?
You must know that what he just said was dealing with the affairs of major families, not just the Tang family.
However, Shang Yang's method of restricting them was also very thoughtful.
To put it simply, there are only four words: act in accordance with the law.
As long as everything follows formal procedures, the Wu Dynasty will not be affected by the family incident that day.
At the same time, Shang Yang and Han Fei were also preparing to apply for re-editing the code of the Tianwu Dynasty.
If something can be done about this matter, the Wu Dynasty can completely eliminate the possibility of the family becoming bigger that day.
Solving the problem at its root is often more heart-wrenching than killing someone.
