Chapter 82: The Schizophrenic Emperor

After Princess Kunxing was scolded with a cane, and Huijing, a nun of the Grief Nunnery, was hanged and abandoned the city, all the monks and nuns died down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this is not the main thing.

The main thing is that a dozen monks died of illness with a cold water on a snowy day, and there is also the tragedy of Tangquan Temple being killed by the bandits who came out late at night during the Jinyiwei special service team, so that the bald people know that this emperor is hopeless, and it is enough to be compared with the three martial arts.

Not only that, but they also silently endured the holy decree of stationing Jinyi Weijian Temple in various temples.

This is mainly because the emperor has too much respect for the Buddha, and he can't tolerate anything insulting to the Buddha in the Buddhist gate, so in the future, the Jinyi Weijian Temple will be responsible for the precepts and finances of the temple, and the monks will be dealt with by them if they violate the precepts.

What, what taxes to pay?

Stamp duty.

All donors will get a tax stamp that records the time and place of the content of the almsgiving, with a stamp from the Department of Taxation of the Ministry of Households, and the total amount of the tax stamps adds up to a certain standard, and the individual will get a good person plaque of the royal pen handbook, which is also the emperor in order to advocate Buddhism and make a little effort, so for the royal pen handbook, everyone must give a lot of alms. Of course, the stamp is worth 80% of the property, this is a trivial matter not worth mentioning, but don't evade taxes, the emperor has already said that tax evasion is equivalent to bullying the king, and more than one or two pieces of silver are all hung on the rope.

Well, those monks probably have the heart to kill the emperor.

But they don't have the ability to do it.

They can only silently reveal the true face of the evil to the good men and women,

But it didn't help.

Those gentry worked hard for half a year, but they couldn't make those stupid women recognize the true face of this demon, and the bald people certainly didn't have the ability to do it.

Who cares about this?

The most important thing is that they get more imperial land, those tenants who rent temple property do not need to pay more than fifty percent of the rent, and those poor people who have borrowed usury from the masters do not need to pay the debt of the king of Hades, which is the most important thing. The emperor is a demon or a fairy, this is a matter of the common people, the people know that they are starting to be able to eat, and they will have more immortals next year, and then they will never be hungry again, if such an emperor is a demon, then they are willing to follow the demon.

At the end of the day, it's all about eating.

"Your Majesty, do you want to arrest a few people who spread rumors?"

Tian Jianxiu asked.

This old bandit is now the most famous mad dog in Yang Feng's hands, and the gentry of Jidong hate him so much that he grits his teeth, and he specializes in dirty work in the Jinyi Wei system.

Now the strength of Jinyiwei is already very strong, Yang Feng gave a lot of Jinyiwei the world, from these people to select 7,000 young people, plus Tian Jianxiu's 3,000 troops, the total number has reached 10,000, the commander is still Liang Cheng, but because of his limited talent, only as Yang Feng's personal guard, he is actually in charge of only the Attendant Division, Tian Jianxiu is in charge of the Special Service Division, this is the Armed Police Force, Wang Chengen is in charge of the Special Service Department and the Internal Affairs Department, the former is in charge of intelligence work and the latter is responsible for internal discipline.

These are the four divisions at the moment.

As for adjusting it as needed in the future, the emperor has the final say anyway.

"No, they have their own heavenly punishment!"

Yang Feng said lightly.

Commander Tian immediately understood.

In fact, Yang Feng also has a bunch of tricks to deal with this kind of thing, this is nothing more than a right to speak, the advantage of the gentry is that in addition to them, no one else is literate at all, so naturally their mouths are big, and in theory Yang Feng is indeed incomprehensible, but propaganda is not just words, even in this era there are still a lot to use.

For example, book artists.

A commentary called Dang Kou Zhi is being written, and several scholars and a group of storytelling artists are working together to reproduce the legend of His Majesty the Emperor's southern conquest and northern war, especially the important plays such as tearing Azig and splitting Abatai alive, which have begun to circulate in various markets through the mouths of folk artists, because there is a realistic basis, so it is very popular among the poor people, and there will be more content gradually spread in the future to enrich the image of His Majesty the Emperor in the people.

Even the opera is in rehearsal.

It won't be long before it will appear in the form of government charity performances in various villages.

There are also comic strips.

The wood-paneled comic book with a very small amount of text is also advocating the great image of His Majesty the Emperor with various contents, and then distributed by the spies of Jinyiwei, those illiterate ordinary people are still very welcome to this kind of thing, and look at the emperor's hand tearing tartar in the album with the content of the commentary, and the admiration for the emperor arises spontaneously.

There are also New Year's paintings.

As the New Year approached, a large number of woodblock New Year paintings with various images of the emperor's wisdom and martial arts began to appear in local markets at extremely low prices.

In addition, there is a simpler and more effective way is to mint coins, and then Yang Feng is ready to mint a large number of metal currency, gold coins are not used first, but silver coins and new copper coins must be minted in large quantities, these currencies are all patterned with their own avatars, so that all the people can see their own images every day. After all, those gentry are still a little tender compared to him, and in terms of propaganda, they are at most a kindergarten level, what else will they do except him? Do ordinary people understand what they are doing? How can it be compared with a guy honed by modern media bombing like His Majesty the Emperor.

But the most important thing is the literacy rate.

As long as the written word is no longer monopolized by the gentry, then the right to speak is no longer in their control.

"Call Gaudi!"

Yang Feng said to Liang Cheng.

Soon the military department Shangshu Gao Di was called to the palace, this Gao Di with the same name as the former Liaodong Jinglu is actually a native of Shaanxi, and he is also Li Zicheng's real hometown, he is a native of Yulin, the Ming Dynasty is a military attache and a military secretary He is also the number one, of course, if it is not a special period, he cannot have such treatment, but he is still very competent in his work, at least not worse than those civilian officials in the past, and even more familiar with the details of the army than civilian officials.

"How many soldiers have been killed in each army this year?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, from the Shengjia Xingshan Customs to the present, a total of 63,681 officers and soldiers have been killed in a year, mainly during the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and then the Battle of Eastern Hebei, as well as the Battle of Your Majesty's Northern Expedition to Fujinzhou and Guangning."

Gaudi said.

This number is not high, especially during the Battle of Shanhaiguan, most of them are actually strong men, these people are cannon fodder, and it is normal for the number of deaths to be higher.

"How many of these are in the Control Zone?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Fifty-one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two."

Gao Di hurriedly took out the information he was carrying and checked it.

"How many are left orphaned and widowed without a place to go?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Well, this minister has to look up."

Gaudi said.

"Then go and investigate, and then I will pay for the government schools in each county, and send orphans between the ages of five and twelve, both men and women, to study in the government schools, and all the boys between the ages of twelve and sixteen will be brought here, and I will set up a school here, and I will be responsible for educating them, since their father died in battle for me, then I will take responsibility for their education."

Yang Feng said.

Well, he actually wants to run a university.

But this university does not teach those four books, five classics and eight strands, he wants to teach really useful things, if this university is left to those ministers, those people will not be able to achieve his intentions, and they will not know what he wants to teach. So the best way is that he is personally responsible, and this kind of good thing naturally he can't cheapen others, those martyrs and orphans who sacrificed their lives for the country are the best students, so that his image is there, his cronies are there, and he has a way to spread scientific knowledge, it can be said that there is nothing more suitable than this. And these people will form a new intellectual class parallel to the gentry, and they will definitely be more useful in society than the gentry, so that the status of the gentry in the people will be directly lowered, after all, the common people just didn't understand it before, and once they found out that the gentry were actually just like that, then it would be impossible for the latter to want to be high.

The rest is nothing more than spending some money.

That's a trifle.

"Your Majesty's benevolence, Ze and dry bones, the grace of rain and dew, benefit the underground, and the fallen soldiers of the ministers thank the Holy Grace."

Gao Di was so moved that he lay on the ground with tears in his eyes and choked up.

He was really moved.

Such a good emperor with affection and righteousness is simply unheard of!

The soldiers are all cheap, and if they die, they can exchange for a pension, and the pension can be paid in full to the family, which is already regarded as burning high incense, and now according to the emperor's doing, it is not a war death, it is simply a springboard for future generations of carp to jump over the dragon gate, if Zhongjin Shi can only be regarded as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the orphans of these fallen soldiers are the real protégés of the Son of Heaven.

What does the protégé of the Son of Heaven represent?

That's the emperor's real cronies!

These orphans have learned, even if they can't be admitted to the Jinshi to be an official, there are also positions waiting for them in the Jinyiwei, Huangzhuang, and the army, and in the future, these are all real ministers of the Son of Heaven.

"I was indeed wrong before, I treated you warriors who shed blood for the country, but now I have woken up, the Ming Dynasty still has to rely on you, I do this to tell the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty that they shed blood for me, and I will raise children for them, I will not let them shed blood in the front, but their families are crying in the rear, they die for me, their children are my children, including those who died in the southern reinforcement armies, and they must also give the Tang King an order to do so!"

Yang Feng said.

(Thank you for the burial of Qin, there is only one person waiting, you must, 0045, the vest is shameful, the Tsing Yi sword is a traceless reward, today's chapter.) )
