Chapter 261 Excitation

In the student canteen, Liu Qing bumped into Duan Fei again. To be precise, it was Duan Fei who waited for Liu Qing.

"I've already said that I'm a bachelor. Don't disturb my life again, okay?" Liu Qing left with a small lunch box in her arms.

Duan Fei suddenly felt helpless.

Back to his palace, there are a lot of annoying things waiting for him. The entanglement between the tribes is endless. This is nothing. The biggest headache is taxes. He has worked as a mayor in Happy City before, and he still knows something about the tax situation on this planet.

The taxes the people bear are very horrible, but the money paid to Chaoyan is not much. Most of the money is in the hands of the local princes and nobles. These people shouted for Chaoyan to be rewarded every day. After receiving the reward, they basically became the local emperor in the local area. As for the tax money, someone came down to chase it, so they paid a little appropriately. Some people chase it and don't pay a penniless. If it goes on like this for a long time, the country will go bankrupt sooner or later.

It is true that Duan Fei is the emperor of the planet Seth, but he can't rank among the top ten in wealth. There is a big one in this country that makes him rich. It's definitely impossible to go on like this.

What should I do about this?

Duan Fei thought hard. In ancient Chinese history, many emperors had faced this similar situation. Chaoyan had no money to raise soldiers, but the local emperor was rich. The most typical was at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Chongzhi emperor was the most retarded emperor in history. He was diligent all his life, and did not listen to partial belief. He killed evil with loyalty, and in the end, the Ming Dynasty died in his hands.

The reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty are relatively complex. According to Duan Fei's analysis, there are two main reasons: one is the official system of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang has strong working ability and multiple positions. He is the chairman, general manager, executive vice president, director of human resources department, financial director, administrative supervision, and Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical workaholic. In the hands of his son and grandson, no one can be qualified for so many part-time jobs. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the whole state machine basically had no execution power. It is necessary to strengthen the execution power of Chaoyan.

The second reason is that Chaoyan has no money. Whether it is to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, or to fight against Aixinjueluo, he needs a lot of money. Chongzhen has Guanning's iron horse, who is quite strong in the era of cold weapons, and his famous generals are like clouds, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou and Mao Wenlong, who have the ability to determine the Central Plains. As a result, the capital was taken by a farmer surnamed Li with a bunch of honest people who repaired the earth.

Chongzhi lost unjustly.

The kingdom must be thoroughly reformed.

There are three urgent problems, one is the reform of the government system, the other is the reform of the tax system, and the other is the reform of land.

Of course, the first move is the reform of the official system. Without an excellent team of ministers, there is no way to talk about the subsequent reforms. It is better not to propose what cannot be implemented. If you want to propose it, it must be effectively implemented.

Duan Fei is actually very young and has limited social experience. Now, life has forced him to the position of a founding emperor, which is quite a hard job.

Before there was a better way, Duan Fei was able to introduce the scientific research system that has been used for 2,000 years in ancient China. Although the imperial examination system itself has many shortcomings, compared with the traditional slavery system in which the kings and magnates of various tribes form a management system, the imperial examination system is obviously a progress.

The imperial examination system has at least given outstanding private talents more development opportunities, and Duan Fei's idea is bound to be strongly supported by vested interests*. Of course, those princes and nobles who have been awarded do not want to see more opportunities for the flat-headed people. These opportunities were originally allocated to their relatives and friends, but now they are awarded to the flat-headed people, which is obviously unacceptable.

Duan Fei is very clear that his reform will inevitably be firmly opposed by aristocratic groups.

It is not easy for them to comply. First of all, he needs some ministers who agree with this view. Several important ministers, including the Minister of Ceremonies, agree with the emperor's idea, which greatly encouraged the emperor.

He was not worried about anyone opposing him, just as King Seth never worried about his opposition.

The army of the whole kingdom could not stop Duan Fei's fist. He was not worried about anyone opposing him at all, let alone his opposition. He was worried that the people were not living a good life, and he, the emperor, should be ashamed.

No matter how good the idea is, it needs to be implemented before it can be done. With these important ministers, he is much more relieved.

Someone went down to do their business, and someone had to open a way for them. The three secret agencies prepared by Duan Fei came to great use. Duan Fei estimated that the main princes and marquises must be put down, which were coerredious and lureh and lure. He directly sent people to kill them.

Pulling out these obstacles, several ministers can go down to do bad jobs. The scientific examination of the Set Dynasty follows the ancient Chinese scientific examination system and is divided into three levels. The township examination is the lowest level. After the township examination, you will be issued a scholar diploma. On the one hand, you can continue to take the examination, and on the other hand, there is an extra bargaining chip in finding a job.

The second level is the provincial examination. Duan Fei named it the government examination. The reason why it is called so is to pave the way for the future reform of the official system. Now the Seth official system is chaotic into a pot of porridge. There is also a king's law in a better place. There is no king's law at all in a worse place. Pull a team and raise a group of soldiers. Ma is the local emperor.

Such a situation must be broken. Chaoyan is not a beggar in the capital. He relies on the charity below and strengthens the centralization of Chaoyan. First of all, he must adjust the official system and manage it one by one. He can't have the money and soldiers to decide. It is Chaoyan, not the earth emperor below. The bottom does not allow it. There is a local emperor.

Just when Duan Fei was so busy, Solan suddenly remembered Prince Hager.

"Your Majesty, do you think Prince Hager will be wronged?"

Duan Fei really didn't think about this problem before. He looked at the pregnant Concubine Solan with concern and said softly, "Do you have any new discoveries?"

"There is no new discovery. Just thinking about it, there is no evidence of our conviction of Prince Hager. Moreover, a group of seniors of the Kvasa Department have always excused him. I am thinking that maybe Prince Hager is really wronged."

"In this case, it's better to let him go first and send someone to keep an eye on him. If you find that there is something wrong with him, just catch him back."

"I think so."

"I'll let someone do it."

"Sad, wait, let me go to the prison in person."

"You are pregnant and have difficulty moving. Let me go."

"Your Majesty, you'd better let the concubine go. If the old prince is really wronged, at least I will release him myself, which will make me feel better."

Solan insisted on going to the heavenly prison in person, and Duan Fei had no choice but to leave it to her.

Hager is an old man who has been in despair. Fortunately, there is a card around him all the time. Otherwise, he may not be able to stand it soon.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has locked us here. It seems that nothing has happened recently. Have you forgotten us?"

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if you die."

"I wonder if they are moving outside and opening some joints, so it's okay for the time being?"

"It's impossible. We caught it back by the Empress herself. No one can get through this joint."

"That can't be said. After all, there is an emperor on the Empress, and there is also an empress dowager."

Prince Hager shook his head: "Today, the emperor is a very decisive person and can't be influenced by others."

The master and servant were chatting, and a eunuch came in: "Open the prison door, we have something to say."

Prince Hager smiled at the father-in-law and asked, "Does the Empress remember that I, the immortal, am not dead yet?"

"Congratulations, Lord, Lord Hexi." As soon as the father-in-law came in, he smiled at the old prince: "Our family heard the news, and the Empress is ready to release the prince."

"Real?" Kalai was overjoyed to hear this sentence.

"Thank you, father-in-law. I think this matter is probably unreliable." Prince Hager shook his head.

"The Empress is here."

The father-in-law came in with his front foot to inform, and the mother's back foot came.
