Chapter 1 Decision Making
"What do you think of Binwang tomorrow's grand dynasty meeting?"
Luoyang Palace has a viewing terrace, which is a good place to escape the summer heat. In addition to ice rooms, cold rooms and other equipment, there are also water conservancy and ventilation equipment. In addition, there are ice cubes added during the wall mezzanine, which can be said to be quite enjoyable.
New watermelons, melons and honey melons on Hebei Road are on the market one after another, and green-skinned Zhejiang-water sugarcane is delivered to the capital, and there are many items to enjoy the summer vacation.
Ma Zhou, who was calm, looked calm. The emperor lay on his side, gnawing on the sugarcane, while the queen was sitting dignifiedly, pressing her knees with her hands and looking at Ma Zhou without squinting her eyes.
As a Grand Secretary of Hongwen Pavilion, Ma Zhou has all the honors he deserves. After his mentality changes, the "old friends" who are "complained with each other" are better than the emperors who have also undergone a major change in their mentality.
If I hadn't been concerned about the kindness of knowing my feelings, I'd be afraid that I would have really become a friend now.
"In the twenty years of operation of the dynasty, redundant officials have become a bad policy. Looking at the changes in the south, there are shortages of officials. However, in terms of the world's Xiongzhou, the actual number of officials in Mian and Hubei is ten times and twenty times that of other states. It can be seen that there are differences. Nowadays, female officials are also used to exchange for mediocre people. In the capital, we should go to Chenke."
The general trend of appointing female officials was determined by the two saints. The outer court probably thought that Empress Changsun must expand its authority, but it was not entirely true. Even if she had selfish intentions, Empress Changsun’s selfish intentions were by no means a simple desire for power.
As the country became stronger and stronger, the Emperor's revenue was also amazing, in addition to the daily increase in national income, the Tang Dynasty also had an astonishing revenue. Especially the cash scale of the treasury, there were no so many precious metals in all dynasties.
The amount of gold, silver, copper and iron was enough for the emperor to fight dozens of battles to destroy the Turks by himself. In addition to precious metals, there were also a large amount of hard currency such as silk, fur, porcelain, etc., and even the number of whale oil and candles was amazing.
It is already very rare for Emperor Zhenguan to be able to engrave extravagant desires in such a wealthy situation. If it were Yang Guang, he could wander to the sky.
Although Emperor Zhenguan also promoted the palace, its purpose was not purely for pleasure.
The palaces in various places in the dynasty have functions. With such a large scale, there are a large number of various staff members and non-staff members. There must be many nepotism members who come in and paddle.
The normal way to eliminate blood is difficult to change blood. The emperor uses power and it is easy for the foreign court to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the body or even take a bite of fat meat.
Using female officials to eliminate them will have a natural subtle effect. Women and men in this era will never be able to hang out together all day long.
Not to mention the Zhenguan Dynasty, even if an illegal engineering dog crosses illegally, this working principle of keeping a certain distance is still the default rule.
This alone can eliminate a large number of lazy borers in the royal treasury system.
It was actually by the way for female officials to enter the court system, but the outside and inside courts thought that Empress Changsun wanted to "should the morning".
It is really the existence of the Zhenguan Emperor, so confusing.
But what Ma Zhou was a little unsure about was probably the emperor's health, because according to the changes in the emperor's health, Empress Changsun's attitude and purpose would definitely change accordingly.
The size of ambition is positively related to the size of strength.
"I built Kunning Palace in the East City and appointed Kunning Commander, with a female servant and a female doctor to assist him. What does Binwang think?"
"If you follow the rules, it will be natural. If you compare the external court, you will probably have many constraints. The external court will definitely resist and all officials will not be able to accept it."
Ma Zhou was not shocked or anything, but said to Empress Changsun calmly, "The officials from other courts who have eaten the king's salary at this point have also gone through hardships. If he had worked hard for more than ten years and decades, his Majesty would have understood..."
Speaking of this, Ma Zhou felt a little empathetic and bowed slightly, which was obviously a great deal of suffering back then.
It was very difficult to debut in his early years. When he arrived in Chang'an, he had to do odd jobs for Chang He, and he would not even have enough food and clothing. Later, he met Zhang De, which was considered to be a practical practice for the emperor to appreciate.
The "tofu shoddy" project, the Propaganda Temple, is still an amazing achievement in this era. You must know that even if it is the palace hall, it is common to burn all the fires in several years.
In terms of culture and education, no matter whether there are dynasties or not, the name Ma Zhou cannot be avoided.
As for the title of Grand Secretary of Hongwen Pavilion, he didn't care much about it.
"It's reasonable."
After vomiting a plate of sugarcane bagasse, Li Dong turned over and sat up, "The story of Duke Yi of Wei 'Doctor He's' and 'General He's' cannot be imitated."
"A woman is a crane."
Empress Changsun raised her eyebrows and looked at her husband with a little dissatisfaction.
Li Shimin smiled, patted his big belly lightly, holding sugarcane in one hand and pressing it with the other hand to show peace of mind, looking at Ma Zhou, "As Wang said, female officials should not refer to the outside court. If they wait and follow, it will be useless. You can operate first to observe the results, and then reward them in succession."
After hearing what Mr. Li said, Manager Ma was stunned for a moment. He would not disclose the treatment, but let the talents work for a while. After everyone had nothing to say except for their achievements, he would be "renewed" and then upright.
With achievements, you cannot use "virtue and unworthy position" to attack. Moreover, if a female official achieves outstanding results, it is very likely that he will repeatedly slap those lazy and mediocre officials who have "lived to a dog" for more than ten years.
It is still unreasonable to say that it is unreasonable, but after "the sky-high price", the king settles for the second best, which is also the reasonable "little willfulness" of the power owner. At that time, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only suppress it.
Otherwise, it means "to advance and move forward" or "not knowing how to advance and retreat".
He lamented in his heart that Ma Zhou was obedient and did not have much hope for those idle people in the foreign court. What's more, Ma Zhou was very clear that the people who would speak tomorrow would at least be the Duke of the State.
No matter what kind of duke, as long as you jump out, it means an attitude. Even if it is a duke from a down-and-out family... how many nails are there in the rotten ship, right?
"Your Majesty's wiseness."
Ma Zhou bowed slightly, his expression calmly, obviously agreeing with Mr. Li’s idea.
Empress Changsun was thinking a little. She was not very skilled in playing power techniques. Now seeing her husband being able to do it, she was immediately convinced and thought to herself that she would be so flexible that she would have to practice.
That night, the capital was surprisingly peaceful, but among the families on a few hills, it was very lively. Many people were speculating on the movement of the grand ceremony tomorrow.
Many people found out that the Duke of Ju was going to take the lead in speaking, so some people planned to go to Lao Tang's mansion overnight and discuss with Lao Tang to see what price could make Lao Tang take back this idea.
But they didn't know that Lao Tang, who was still in the "Heaven and Earth", did not have the awareness of being the main troll.
