After hearing Fang Bao's words, Ma Qi couldn't help but frown slightly. Fang Bao was implying that Zhenwu was saying that since he wanted to vigorously promote the new policy, he must change the lenient rule before Kangxi and make drastic rectification of the administration. However, Kangxi is still alive. Zhenwu changed his course at the beginning of the Great Emperor's Emperor, not only offends all officials, but also offends all gentry all over the world, which is very easy to be criticized and may cause turmoil in the court. This is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he said cautiously: "Emperor, the new policy is actually beneficial to the country and the people, and the servants also hope to implement the world as soon as possible. However, it is related to national policies, so we have to be careful and cautious. I personally think that it is not an opportunity to try the new policy at present. The Supreme Emperor once repeatedly reminded that governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman, and the servants beg the emperor to think twice."

"Emperor." Fang Bao said calmly: "I personally think that the new policy affects the interests of all gentry in the world. No matter when it is implemented, the resistance will not be small. However, the new policy benefits the people. As long as it is well promoted, the people will definitely support it.

However, when the people are told to the officials of the prefectures and county officials, the new policy also infringes on the interests of the prefectures and county officials. How could they do their best to promote the benefits of the new policy? Those who are evil may even intentionally distort it. Therefore, if they want to implement the new policy, they must rectify the administration of officials. The poor ministers think that if they rectify the administration of officials and implement the new policy, they must combine the two into one. The people will not be in chaos. Even if the gentry wants to do evil, they will be powerless.

In addition, this year, the emperor has exempted taxes from northern provinces for one year. This is a great opportunity to vigorously implement the new policy. I sincerely pray that the emperor will think twice."

Isn’t there any Beijing News? Now that the Beijing News has been published in various counties, Zhenwu couldn’t help laughing when he thought about it. These days, except for the gentry, few people can read, and even if there is Beijing News, it is in vain. Fang Bao’s words are very reasonable, and the people are not in chaos. The gentry cannot get into chaos. This is a knife that stretches his head, and a knife that shrinks his head, so there is no need to look forward to it.

After hearing Fang Bao's words, Kuixu couldn't help but feel happy and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, the people of Shanxi have responded. The scale has also increased year by year. Many people with slightly less income have joined the immigration ranks one after another. The more land the gentry mastered, the more difficult it is.

"This is a generalization based on the partiality." Ma Qi immediately refuted: "Australian immigration has now been in several northern provinces, but the new policy is promoted nationwide. How can we generalize it? Looking at all dynasties, it is better to walk on thin ice to implement the new policy. There are few attempts to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. I beg the emperor to temporarily ease the advancement."

After hearing this, everyone argued endlessly, Zhenwu had a general understanding of everyone's thoughts. Kuixu hoped that the new policy would be implemented in the whole province of Shanxi. In this way, he, the governor of Shanxi, who was temporarily appointed, was the first hero in the trial of the new policy. This was a greater contribution than the radical remediation of the floods in Taiyuan City. Moreover, the implementation of the new policy nationwide in the future is very likely to be presided over by him in several provinces, which would be conducive to his entry into the cabinet.

Fang Bao first disagreed, worried about clearing down the shortcomings and rectifying the administration of the new policy to affect the implementation of the new policy. After Kuixu made his statement, he immediately changed his attitude and strongly supported it. This was a villain who wanted to launch Kuixu to be a trial of the new policy.

Ma Qi tried his best to postpone the cleanup of deficiencies and rectify the administration of officials. He was worried that he was too impatient and caused the situation to be unstable. He focused on the overall situation, while Wang Fei was worried that the deficiencies in Shanxi would be exposed slightly, which would lead to the administration of officials and increase the difficulty of rectifying the future.

After a while of silence, Zhenwu said, "Ma Qi stays, let the others kneel down."

After hearing this, Fang Bao was happy and hurriedly followed Wang Xu, bowed and retreated. When the three of them left, Zhenwushu took a few sips of tea slowly before looking at Ma Qi and said, "Xiushui, there are no outsiders. Just say bluntly, who can still endanger my safety now?"

Ma Qi did not expect Zhenwu to ask so directly, and he was stunned for a moment. Although Zhenwu had only been one year ascending the throne, he had a strong foundation. Before he ascended the throne, there were fourteen parties and navy. In this year, he strengthened the new imperial guard army and confiscated the military power of the Five Banners in one fell swoop, and unified the military power of the Eight Banners. Who can endanger his safety now?

There was only one person, Kangxi! Although Kangxi had a stroke, he was sober. He took the initiative to move to the Rehe Summer Resort, which was a clear proof that if Zhenwu implemented the new policy, the officials and gentry complained, it would be easy to seize power with Kangxi's prestige and connections.

However, even if he borrowed Ma Qi's courage, he would not dare to say this. He would make a joke. It would be a serious crime to break away from the family of the Tian family, but it would be enough to implicate the nine tribes.

After pondering slightly, Ma Qi bowed and said, "Emperor, clearing down the deficits and rectifying the administration of officials is a complete combination. To clear down the deficits, you must pursue compensation, dismissal from office, or even have property, not only the government office, but also the origin of the country, so that you can completely recover the deficits. Now from the capital to the local government, few officials who are in power do not lose money. If you clean up the deficits and chase down the deficits, you will inevitably be in a panic and panic, causing turmoil and uneasy in the court and the country.

Furthermore, when implementing the new policy, it infringes on the interests of gentry, but also officials. Officials are gentry, Han officials are like this, and the whole people are like this. Who is the princes and nobles in the capital is not a fertile land Qianqing? The implementation of the new policy can be said to offend all the civil and military officials of the court and the gentry all over the world.

As Fang Bao said, the new policy benefits the people and the people will support them vigorously, but what if the people support them? The people’s greatest support for the emperor is to be content with oneself, that’s all.

The Supreme Emperor has been governing with lenientity for many years and has a deep heart. When the emperor was at the beginning of the imperial throne, he cleared up the deficits, rectified the administration of officials, and implemented new policies. He then pursued compensation, dismissed from office, and confiscated his home. Naturally, he misunderstood that the emperor should change lenientness to strictness. The emperor had exhausted his efforts to increase salary and salary for officials, and all measures to increase welfare would be wasted.

Not only that, the slaves were even more worried that the gentry and officials would join forces to form a party to oppose it with all their might. The consequences would be unimaginable. Emperor, officials and gentry were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. As the saying goes, three feet of freezing is not a cold one day, the government is corrupt, and the deficit is not a short-term formation or a storm. It can make the government clear and clear, and it will take two years to slow down, and it will not be a serious problem.

For the emperor, it is also of great benefit to slow down for one or two years. In two years, the navy can achieve great development in Europe, Africa, America and Australia. The new army of the Imperial Guard can also look down on the Eight Banners Green Camp. I beg the emperor to think twice.”

After listening to Ma Qi's words, Zhenwu was speechless for a while. Ma Qi's words were not obscure. If he changed leniently to strict, cleared up the deficits, rectified the administration, and implemented the new policy, it would cause chaos and panic to make the court and the civil and military officials in the court, and to make the whole world attack them. Maybe someone would want to invite the great god Kangxi to suppress him.

It is naturally the safest for him to start rectification after two years. But he also knows how to deal with Shanxi's deficit? Should he ignore it?

After a while of silence, Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "Xiushui's words are heartfelt words, and they are also old-fashioned plans for the country. I also want to ease the period of one or two, calmly rectify the administration and implement the new policy." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "When Kali was transferred from Shanxi, all the deficits in Shanxi had been erased. I did not expect that in just six years, Shanxi's deficits would be so serious."

"Your Majesty, I guess that the so-called deficit in Gali back then was probably just on the books." Ma Qi pondered: "Gali himself is greedy for bribes, and local officials are all experienced in dealing with deficit inspections and have many means. It is hard to believe that deficits in a province are too."

Zhenwu nodded slightly and said with a serious expression: "The deficit in Shanxi may be more serious than I think. If you do not thoroughly investigate, Xiushui, what will happen?"

Ma Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that what else could be the result? Shanxi officials must try every means to fill the deficit. It is impossible to expect these officials to pay money from their own pockets. What's more, some deficits may not have been brought down by them. Why do they have to fill the deficits with their own pockets? There is only one possibility, desperately exploiting and exploding the people to fill the deficits.

"The lives of the people are very hard. I have visited privately in the past few days and witnessed the food of migrant workers on the river bank." Zhenwu said slowly in a heavy tone: "I have spent tens of millions of taels of silver to provide relief to the victims, but they still eat braised vegetables. This is still the food of young and strong, and it is conceivable for the elderly, weak, women and children.

If these officials are allowed to exploit them to fill the gap, I am worried that something big will happen. Shanxi will not only be easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also has at least hundreds of millions of taels of silver buried in this land. Once something happens, the consequences will be truly unimaginable."

Ma Qi was also shocked when he heard this. Shanxi was always the best in the world. This is not a false statement. The silver buried in the silver cellar in this place in Shanxi is not a million, but tens of millions of dollars are available. Once the turmoil is caused, the consequences are indeed unpredictable. Even if it is pacified, the Qing Dynasty will be greatly damaged. No wonder Zhenwu wanted to encourage Shanxi merchants to establish a ticket account. No wonder he tended to vigorously clear up the deficit in Shanxi. It turned out that he considered it from this perspective.

After a slight pause, Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "The deficit in Shanxi must be resolutely cleared. Any officials with deficits will be suspended. First, the supervisory students stranded in each county will be in charge of the administration, and then the Ministry of Personnel will select those with both moral integrity and talent from the officials of Hou Que to take office as soon as possible. Those who perform well in the supervisory students can also be promoted in an extraordinary way."

Ma Qi said worriedly: "Master, since the beginning of the year, local officials have been watching the trend of the court. At the beginning of the year, they have severely punished the illegitimate fraud case in the capital warehouse and corps, which has caused local officials to try every means to fill the deficit. Now they are investigating the deficit case in Shanxi with great fanfare. The slaves are worried that it will trigger panic in the officialdom, which will cause officials to exploit the people by any means, resulting in public grievances.

Now Jiangnan is promoting the implementation of acres of taxes. If it is used by dissatisfied gentry, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the government and the people and the officials and the people. Can the emperor temporarily suspend the situation and summon slaves to discuss it again to see if he can come up with a complete solution."...)
