Chapter 5 [Reform Begins]
Next.
The six tribes of the Star Empire were all in a busy state.
The people of the empire are still excited, and their country has finally become the overlords of this planet and no longer has to worry about war.
Many people who were destroyed by the country were secretly planning how to rise again and overthrow the rule of the Star Empire.
But in the face of the huge military strength of the Star Empire, they felt desperate and suffocated again.
Until one week later.
Grand court meeting.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that it is time to reduce military power. The consumption of military power on the empire is too great."
"With current military expenditure, it is easy to drag down the empire's finances."
An official stood out from the queue and spoke his thoughts.
"Fuck, the empire has just unified the world, so you are clamoring to reduce the empire's military power. What is your intention? Could it be that Lord Yuan, is it the remnant of those countries?"
Immediately, a general stood up in the military officer series and glared at him.
"I attached the proposal of Lord Yuan. Nearly five million troops in Zhongzhou, the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Desert and the Beiming, have one million troops guarding each. Such military forces can only be described as terrible to the imperial financial expenditure."
"Our empire's revenue last year was only 3.8 billion, and the army accounted for nearly half. Education, medical institutions and other institutions all have to pay for it. So how much money do we have to develop various construction facilities in the empire?"
An official also stood up and agreed with the previous official's proposal.
The expenditure of the army is too great.
"Your Majesty, I am against it. The empire has just unified the world and is anxious to disarmament. How to suppress the remnants of those empires? Once disarmament is disarmament, it will inevitably make the remnants of those empires become evil."
A general standing in the front row stood out and said.
"Disarmament? It's not appropriate. The army is always the most effective way to defend the people and an important military force to defend the empire. The old ministers do not recommend disarmament." Another general said:
"And, disarmament will lead to the fact that many soldiers who are accustomed to military life will be trapped among the people. Once they violate the law, it will inevitably have a bad impact on the imperial security."
Listening to the ministers, Yang Yu sat on the dragon chaise, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chaise.
"The King of Zhennan has something to say?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with Lord Yuan's disarmament proposal. Even if you want to disarmament, you have to slowly plan to lay off a large-scale army at once. What should their livelihood be?"
Yang Lin, the King of Zhennan, was also a military general, and was also the marshal who commanded the million-strong army in Zhendong.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the current system is no longer suitable for the current development of the empire, so I propose reform..."
At this time, the Prime Minister stood up and told him about the reform plan.
This statement lasts half an hour.
The civil and military officials listened to the Prime Minister's reforms, but they didn't say anything. Since the Prime Minister dared to talk about reforms at the grand dynasty meeting.
That must have been agreed by the emperor, or even proposed by the emperor.
The Prime Minister just said it on behalf of the emperor.
"I think the Prime Minister's reform is very good. My dear friends, what should I do if the Prime Minister's proposal?"
Yang Yu looked at the civil and military officials below with expressionless expression.
"I agree with the Prime Minister's reform plan." None of the officials of the military generals objected to this.
As military generals, it is right for them to follow the emperor.
Only the civil officials looked at each other and had their own ulterior motives in their hearts. This reform has completely damaged their interests.
But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and argue.
This is definitely a reform plan proposed by the emperor.
If the generals had almost no objection, that would explain the matter.
Moreover, the emperor delegated all control except the army.
That means that they have many things they dare not perform, and they can make great efforts in this reform.
"For the time being, take the imperial capital as a test point to see what the reform plan is, and then radiate to the entire Central China with the imperial capital as the center."
"Finally, when the test results are satisfactory, radiation can be launched to the entire area."
Yang Yu pondered for a moment and said.
If you are anxious, you can’t eat hot tofu, and reform needs to be done step by step.
If reforms are radiated to the entire territory at once, it will inevitably lead to a rebound.
"Your Majesty is wise."
All civil and military officials said one after another.
"Start a report if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."
Seeing this, the female official next to her immediately took a step forward, and a crisp sound resounded throughout the Star Palace.
"My minister, there is a report."
At this time, Lord Yuan, who had previously proposed to disarmament, stood up with the expectations of his colleagues.
"What's the matter for me to report?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the empire is no longer in trouble now, and the old minister begs to establish the queen."
Lord Yuan said.
He is a censor, and this is his job.
"I'll discuss it later."
Yang Yu stood up from his seat and walked away from the Grand Court.
He loves the country and the beauty.
But he didn't want to.
Marry a wife?
If the situation is small, you have an eternal life, why bother marrying someone who can't accompany you for a long time?
Heir?
No need.
You go and see the princes who were killed in Chinese history.
"Retreat the court."
Seeing this, the female official immediately said.
And all the civil and military officials looked at each other.
Your Majesty, how can you go back on your word?
Do we still have unmarried daughters and granddaughters in our family?
We are still waiting to be royal relatives.
...
"This Yuan Lang..."
When he returned to the imperial study, Yang Yu shook his head helplessly, not being a son of man.
I think about being my father-in-law all day long.
Very messed up.
“How is the investigation?”
"Your Majesty, Lord Yuan's family has 10,000 mu of fertile land, gold, silver and wealth. According to the investigation of the Shenmao, the statistics can reach 32 million, and the error will not exceed one million."
The female official said respectfully.
"What is Mr. Yuan's monthly salary?"
"Monthly salary of one thousand star coins."
"One thousand star coins? How many years does he have to work for? It's more than 30 million?"
You should know that the Star Empire is currently in its first industrial era, and all kinds of daily necessities are very cheap. Even during the war, prices soar, they will not exceed the original market price.
So, he was very curious about how the more than 30 million Yuan family came from?
"Then take advantage of this reform to search all the borers that are attached to the empire and destroy the clan."
Yang Yu said coldly.
"Your Majesty, isn't this not too much..."
The female official wanted to speak but stopped, and confiscated her family and destroyed her clan. This word has not appeared in our Star Kingdom for many years.
That is, you ascended the throne back then and used this method.
"There is no innocent, and their families enjoy illegal income, so they have to pay a relative price."
Yang Yu said expressionlessly.
The empire needs to develop, so it needs to eradicate all the guys who block the empire's development path.
To harm the interests of the empire is to harm his interests and the interests of the people of the empire.
"promise."
