Valley Emperor

If it is the education in traditional dynasties, its definition is probably the development of literary style, the cultivation of scholars and the like, but the definition of education in the Tang Dynasty is somewhat different. ?With {Dream}Small◢.1a

In the Tang Dynasty, the definition of enlightenment was 'loyalty to the monarch and patriotism', or to omit a little, that is loyalty to the monarch!

The education of loyalty to the monarch is the focus of education, and everything else is secondary.

So when he greeted the domestic fleet at the dock, he actually didn't put his mind on Tong Shangchao and others, but was thinking about some of the cargo carried in the fleet.

what cargo?

Datang Chaobao and various books!

These are the things he values ​​most!

Datang Chaobao, as the only official mouthpiece newspaper of the Tang Dynasty, is not only distributed in the domestic area, but also can be seen in overseas territories.

Because of the official requirements, as long as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there must be the Tang Chaobao!

At the same time, this is also the main, or even the only, channel through which officials overseas, businessmen and even ordinary immigrants have learned about domestic dynamics.

Officials must analyze the domestic political trends and major policies of the empire from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, so as to adjust their own governance direction.

Businessmen also want to understand the latest policies of the empire in industry and commerce from above, so as to adjust their operations and look for business opportunities.

Even ordinary people need to understand the various policies of the empire, because many of the above policies are closely related to their lives.

Even in Gehe Prefecture, which is extremely far away from the mainland, because of this order, every time a domestic fleet departs, it will bring a large batch of Tang Dynasty to sea.

Tong Shangchao's fleet also carried almost all the Tang Dynasty newspapers issued by Xuanping in ten years, as well as many books brought from China.

After holding a welcome banquet for Tong Shangchao and others from the fleet, Qian Jiyun returned to his prefectural government office, and then began to simply flip through the pile of Tang Dynasty newspapers in front of him.

The last time he saw the Datang Chaobao, it was published in the ninth year of Xuanping, and he had not read the Datang Chaobao issued by Xuanping in the tenth year. As an imperial official, he did not read the Tang dynasty. The newspaper, this is because it is difficult to get along with one's own career. If you don't read the newspapers above, you can learn about the latest imperial politics and policy trends. You don't know if you make a mistake.

I took out a newspaper from it and saw that it was a newspaper issued in February. The front page on it was that the Son of Heaven held a grand pro-farming ceremony at the Qifeng altar on the outskirts of Jinling City.

According to the report, the emperor personally ploughed a full mu of land and set an example to persuade the people to do farming.

The pro-farming ceremony is almost the most important ceremony every year since the Tang Dynasty. It combines pro-farming and sacrifice to the sky, and it is very grand.

However, this kind of thing is also an annual practice, and Qian Jiyun's focus is not on this. What he focuses on is who is accompanying the emperor in the pro-farming ceremony.

Because in this most important ceremony every year, who will bring the bull to the emperor, who will help the emperor with the plow, who will level the land, who will sow, and who will fertilize, it is all very important, and the annual staff is not fixed, but there are One thing can be confirmed, that is, from this list, then you will find out who is still trusted by the Son of Heaven, who is about to get up, and who is about to step down.

Because not everyone can have this honor. According to the experience of previous years, those who can have this qualification are all important officials of the empire. Except for the highly respected Liu Bagou and others, the others are also from the second rank. People above the rank of Vice Admiral.

You are welcome to say that the list of ministers who accompanied the courtiers at the pro-farming ceremony all represented the changes in the political arena of the empire!

In the ninth year of Xuanping, at that time, as the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, for the first time, Lord Shengshangzhao, who accompanied the emperor's personal farming for the first time, was enjoined in the imperial study in April, and served as the minister of walking. In June of the ninth year of Pingping, Sheng Shangzhao was transferred from the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Rites and served as Shangshu.

In addition, in the eighth year of Xuanping, Qian Mengjiu, the minister on duty in the imperial study who accompanied the emperor in the previous farming ceremonies, unexpectedly did not accompany him. In August of the eighth year of Xuanping, Qian Mengjiu was old and begged for the skeleton to submit a letter In his career, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to approve what he had done after the three disapprovals.

Almost every change in personnel at the pro-farming ceremony represents at least a change in the military and political high-level positions at the level of Shangshu and Lieutenant General. This situation is also an important reason why all officials of the empire, even ordinary people, are very concerned.

As for Li Xuan, he actually used this pro-farming ceremony to ventilate the outside, and at the same time to test the reaction of the officials and the world. After all, the change of the high-level is a trigger, and if you don't make enough preparations, it is easy to cause trouble. of.

For example, Qian Mengjiu, who was an important minister of Conglong in this era of Huangzhushan, has been in a high position as the minister on duty in the imperial study for many years, but to be honest, this person has limited ability. The empire developed.

That is to say, he was still diligent, so he was barely able to support it, but as the empire's stall became bigger and bigger, and more and more things happened, his ability was unable to keep up after all.

In addition, he has also been in a high position for many years, and the position of the minister on duty in the imperial study cannot be kept for him. The political arena of the empire needs to keep flowing, and a bunch of old people have been occupying the position. People who have been proud of their position for many years have long longed for the upper position.

That's why he tried the hundred officials at the pro-farming ceremony in the eighth year of Xuanping. As a result, Qian Mengjiu himself was interested, and other important officials did not have much objection, so Qian Mengjiu succeeded in his career and became the history of the empire. The third minister on duty in the imperial study to step down.

At the same time, Li Xuan also expanded the number of ministers on duty in the imperial study room for the first time, from seven to nine. The two expanded places are one from the cabinet and the other from the Hanlin Academy.

The quota for the internal side is also very particular, which is specially prepared for the Minister of Commerce.

This has also formed the composition of the ministers on duty in the imperial study for the past two years: two in the military, one in the army and one in the navy; three in independent institutions, one in the Inspectorate, one in the Academy, and one in the Imperial Academy; and one in the Cabinet. There were four people, one from the Ministry of Agriculture, one from the Ministry of Personnel, one from the Ministry of Taxation, and one from the Ministry of Commerce.

These nine people constitute the highest level of the current imperial political arena!

The pro-farming ceremony was related to the change of high-level personnel. Qian Jiyun naturally wanted to pay attention to it immediately, but after scanning it carefully, he could not see that any big man was going to step down.

Because this year's list is different from last year, but the overall change is not big, just two new faces, but these two new faces are at the level of servants, and they can't affect the overall situation. At most, they are promoted to ministers.

However, in the political arena of the empire, there are also many high-ranking officials at the Shangshu level. There are sixteen ministerial-level agencies in the cabinet. Besides the ministries, there are six directly-administered divisions in the cabinet. The second rank is lower, but it is also a senior official from the second rank.

After reading this pro-farming report, Qian Jiyun continued to read other Tang Dynasty newspapers.

After reading more than a dozen copies in a row, he saw a very interesting report. This report said that the cabinet held a meeting to discuss the reform of the tax department.

Although this early notification-style report only said that the high-level discussion about the reform of the tax department, it would never say how the reform was carried out, because this kind of notification is basically used to test various reactions, and it said some ambiguous things. , and then the top is to make countermeasures based on the response.

What about the tax reform?

The Empire has had more than one discussion in recent years!

Because the power of the Ministry of Taxation is really too great, in the past the empire was just established, and I didn’t feel that there was anything, but as the empire unified the country and then gradually developed, the problem of the Ministry of Taxation’s too much authority came up frequently.

Because in the early years, the tax department was not only in charge of tax collection, but also in charge of customs, finance, budget, and salaries of civil and military officials. Basically, in the Tang Dynasty, they all had money-related matters. Tube.

When the first reform was carried out a few years ago, the customs affairs were spun off and became the direct department of the cabinet, but the power of the tax department was still enormous.

The tax department has great power and is a bit unscrupulous at the same time. Bai officials have always been unfamiliar with the tax department. It is not a matter of a day or two to dismember the tax department.

This time, I am afraid that someone wants to do something to the tax department, and it is estimated that there are still many people, and the weight is not light, but I don't know if the empire's largest traitor, the minister on duty in the imperial study, and the minister of the tax department can withstand it. pressure.

Qian Jiyun can almost imagine the violent turmoil that will be caused by the reform of the tax department in the domestic political arena. If he is still serving in the country, he must write a memo, and firmly support the split of the tax department.

It's a pity that others are overseas. Even if he wrote a book, it will take more than half a year to send it back to China. When his book is sent back to China, it is estimated that the reform of the tax department will be successful or not, but it will already be the winner. Negative, there is a chance for him to make a discount!

Alas, thinking of this, Qian Jiyun just sighed!

This Gehe state cannot stay any longer, and must find a way to transfer it back!

However, although he also has some contacts in the country, these contacts could not prevent him from being banished to Gehe State at the beginning, and he cannot be brought back today.

enlightenment!

Must be done!

Gehe Prefecture ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ decided to go to the Governor of India tomorrow, Huo Chongshan, and ask him to support him in setting up a school in Gehe Prefecture.

When Huo Chongshan first came here, he just wanted to set up an official school here. This school is naturally aimed at the impossible indigenous people, but the Datang immigrants from Gehe Prefecture.

There is nothing better than education to transmit the concept of loyalty to others.

Although Datang Western Company can be regarded as an organization with a half official background, their business atmosphere is too strong. Every day is money and money, and they have not paid much attention to the education of loyalty to the king.

He must affirm to Huo Chongshan the importance of education of loyalty to the monarch. Even though Gehe Prefecture is the territory of the Datang Western Company, it is still the territory of the empire, and the immigrants living here are still the citizens of the empire.

But all the people of the empire must be loyal to the emperor!

Therefore, the education of loyalty to the emperor is urgent. If Huo Chongshan still shirks on the grounds of insufficient funds, then he does not mind participating in the previous book!
