Chapter 249 Silent

Liu's daughter left after giving a person's name to Lu Qiang.

"It turned out to be him?"

Lu Qiang never questioned Liu's loyalty and ability. If he can tell himself this person's name, it shows that he is absolutely sure.

surprisingly, Lu Qiang is not very angry at this moment. On the one hand, it is because his wife and children have nothing to do. In addition, this incident also makes him a little vigilant about the current officials.

Qianqiu's career has just started, and the Northern Expedition has not yet officially begun. Some officials have begun to fight for power and profits, and have even given their ideas to their descendants. It seems that some necessary measures still need to be taken for some people.

Lu Qiang pondered for a long time, and finally ordered Zhao Yong to take the fire candle, and then burned the name into ashes with the fire candle. At this moment, this man has extinguished in his heart like this pile of ashes.

The glow is shining, the sun is rising in the east, and a new day begins.

Today's early morning has actually begun. For a diligent man like Lu Qiang, dealing with government affairs is the greatest pleasure of his life.

Wu Yinzhi reported the topic of copper money to Lu Qiang yesterday, reiterated it in the early morning, and then reported this year's harvest to Lu Qiang.

This year's harvest is not bad overall, mainly due to the imperial court's attention to water conservancy after last year's flood. At the same time, God is also very complete, which can be regarded as smooth.

Only with the expansion of the territory, especially the return of those war-torn areas in the north, it also added a certain burden to the court.

The war is undoubtedly the most destructive production, especially in the area of Bingzhou. After years of war, people fled south one after another, causing the local land to be desolate. Although this situation will slowly improve after the imperial court takes over it, it has just begun.

So on this issue, Wu Yinzhi asked Lu Qiang, hoping to move some people to the past and increase the efforts to resume local production.

Lu Qiang was deeply convinced of this issue. After exchanging views with Wang Zhenbei and others, the court issued a decree that while encouraging people to return to their homes, prisoners in prisons around the country should be transferred to Bingzhou and Yanmen to compensate for their crimes in the form of labor reform.

Immediately after the Ministry of Household is the memorial of Lu Zongzhi of the Ministry of War.

After Tuobagui retreated from the army, he also left a lot of wealth for the Jin Dynasty, that is, countless war horses scattered among the mountains and forests.

Kuai En attacked the Yanmen camp of the Wei army at night and killed nearly 20,000 Wei troops. At the same time, Lu Qiang also destroyed more than 10,000 Wei troops under Bingzhou.

You should know that these Wei troops are all riding war horses, so it is initially estimated that there should be no less than 30,000 war horses scattered in the mountainous areas around Bingzhou and Yanmen, but now more than 10,000 have only been recovered.

Therefore, Lu Zongzhi suggested that the imperial court build a horse farm in Bingzhou to collect war horses, and strive to breed its own war horses as soon as possible to get rid of its dependence on grassland war horses.

This is a major event, which can be said to be related to future wars. As Lu Zongzhi said, once the horse farm becomes large, the court will completely bid farewell to the shortage of war horses.

Lu Qiang immediately agreed and appointed Lu Zongzhi to personally grasp the matter. At the same time, he issued a decree to cooperate fully with Tan Daoji stationed in Bingzhou.

A series of decrees involving national economy and people's livelihood came from the Golden Hall, fully demonstrating the vitality of Lu Qiang's new dynasty.

The government discussion is almost over. Lu Qiang signaled Zhao Yong, who was standing aside with his eyes, and then smiled and said to the ministers, "It is often heard that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and all the noble families follow me to be born and die, but I rarely reward the noble families. Every time I think about this, I often feel ashamed. I have decreed that there is a division, right Detailed records of the merits made by your families, and then be rewarded according to their merits"

"I am ashamed"...

With Lu Qiang's voice, the ministers bowed and said together, but I could hear that their tone was still very excited.

Lu Qiang never gave rewards indiscriminately. After Luoyang, although some officials have been rewarded, it is only part of them. Most officials' positions or titles have not changed.

Today's edict is a reward for all the officials who have made great achievements and later.

In addition to the title of the king, there are also the titles of prince, marquis and uncle.

Lu Qiang was awarded several times, but no one was awarded to the Duke. The highest, such as Wang Zhenji, He Wuji, Tan Daoji and others, were only awarded to the Marquis.

Today's reward did not break through to the Duke, but the rank was added to the title. By the first, second and third grades, Wang Zhenjiu and other elders waited for the title. And the most unexpected thing is that Xie Wangzu was appointed as Zongzheng by Lu Qiang as the abbot of the state to take charge of royal affairs.

You should know that the previous clan was held by a direct royal family, and has never been held by a foreign surname. Although Xie Wangzu is the emperor's father-in-law, it always feels strange.

Lu Qiang has always done things as long as he recognizes it, no one can change it. Today's early morning ended with the settlement of the imperial edict.

After the early morning, Xie Wangzu chased his buttocks to the study to find Lu Qiang, because he did not understand why the emperor suddenly awarded him such an official position?

Although those dishonest royal families have been almost cleaned up by Lu Qiang, are the things of the royal family so easy to manage? When did Bao Buqi offend the royal family, and who knows what the relationship between this royal family and the emperor is?

The royal family can be cleaned up by the emperor. If someone else moves, hehe! That's really hard to say.

So this is definitely a hard and thankless job.

When Xie Wangzu followed him, Lu Qiang just picked up the rice bowl. Seeing his father-in-law coming, he ordered someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to his father-in-law.

"The abbot is so eager to follow, there must be something important to do. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go together!"

Lu Qiang's every meal is very simple, far less exquisite than those ministers.

Xie Wangzu was indeed a little hungry, but when he looked at Lu Qiang's green vegetables and white rice, he still shook his head and said, "The old minister has eaten. The old minister came to your majesty is actually about Zong Zheng."

Lu Qiang knew that his father-in-law didn't like his food and didn't order it, so he stopped giving up and said while eating, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Zong is in charge of the affairs of the royal family. You ask me to take care of it. Will those children of the royal family be convinced? Your Majesty, please take back your order and choose another virtuous person!"

Lu Qiang listened to Xie Wangzu's words, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and looked at him quietly and said, "Does the ancestor think he is an outsider?"

"You are Lu Yuan's grandfather and a veritable national relative. Shouldn't you share the family affairs for me? In addition, I remember that you have followed me in the past few years, but the world has not been decided at present. If I directly appoint you as a senior official, what do others think? After thinking about it, I have to wrong your family first."

After listening to Lu Qiang's heartfelt words, Xie Wangzu suddenly burst into tears, bowed down and cried, and said, "Your Majesty's kindness, the sky is high and the sea is deep. It is the old minister's fault. Please rest assured that the old minister will do his duty and live up to your Majesty's trust."

"Okay, let's go! Taixue has assigned a college to the royal children who came from Jiankang. The state an abbot has been there to ask. They all have to follow the standards of ordinary students. What I want is to really get talents for the country."

"Yes, the old minister quit"

Xie Wangzu left. Lu Qiang ate as soon as possible. He took the towel handed over by Zhao Yong and wiped his mouth and said, "Have you come to Qianqiu?"

"It has been waiting outside the hall"

"Hmm! Let him in"

Soon, Dai Qianqiu, who was waiting to be summoned, was called in by Zhao Yong.

"What's the latest trend on Feng Ba's side?"

"Your Majesty, Feng Ba and Murong Chao are still deadlocked. Feng Ba's troops are stronger than Murong Chao, but after all, Murong has ruled Yan for a long time, and his connections in all aspects are not comparable to Feng Ba"

"Hmm! Have the two assassins been placed?

"Your Majesty, rest assured that they can sneak back to Zhongshan at any time. Although it is not easy to assassinate Feng Ba, they can still do something else."

"No hurry, I'm coming to you today. In fact, I want to tell you something else."

With the assassination of his wife and children in Jiangling, especially after listening to Liu's report, Lu Qiang remembered another prosperous organization in the Ming Dynasty - Jinyiwei.

Although the existence of Zhifengtang is no longer a secret, it is an unknown organization after all. It is still a mysterious existence in the hearts of officials, but it is not feared. What scares them the most is Liu Si's daughter.

So Lu Qiang thought about it and decided to set up a government office similar to Jinyiwei with a clear office location.

Rit is reasonable that the best candidate for this leader is Liu Siniu, but Lu Qiang knows that Liu Siniu has offended too much, so he has decided to protect him and not easily let him perform the task.

So this task fell on Dai Qianqiu again.

"Please make it clear"

"I mean that I want you to disclose the identity of some of Zhifengtang's subordinates, and then set up a separate government office that is only responsible for me. I haven't figured out the name of this government, but the responsibility is very clear, that is, you can detect hundreds of officials, and you can investigate Li Shu below. If the evidence is conclusive, you can arrest them first and then report it."

After listening to Lu Qian's words, Dai Qianqiu couldn't help but be stunned. He has been in charge of Zhifengtang for several years and knows the knowledge in it. Now the emperor has delegated such a great power to him. While showing full trust in him, he has undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront of the storm.

However, since the emperor has told him, it means that he has made a decision. After a moment of meditation, he carefully said, "Your Majesty, General Liu seems to be more competent for this burden, right?"

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "He has another important task. If you don't think it's suitable, you can also recommend someone to me. Zhifengtang's task is still very difficult. I know I can't live without you."

Dai Qianqiu was secretly relieved and bowed down and said, "I think Feng Ping should be competent, oh! It's the Fengping who went to Bingzhou to persuade Gongsun on the fifth floor."

Lu Qiang also remembered that this little spy even reminded himself to be careful of using people.

nodded and said, "Let him come to see me first!" Before he arrives, you should select people and structure the government as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll do it now, and I'll leave"

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the great power of Jinyiwei, the emperor had to set up east and west fields to supervise.

With this lesson, of course, Lu Qiang will not put shackles on the necks of his descendants. He can give this government office special rights, but he will also formulate various systems to restrict them so that they will not become out of control.
