Chapter 853

Pang Yukun and Fijian are walking side by side on the Qingzhou avenue leading to the palace. They have just been given the imperial edict.

"Pang Shoufu, I'm afraid the emperor summoned you and me to the palace for the purpose of cutting the vassal." Fiji put his hand in the sleeve cage and his face was reflective.

When Qian Dafu told them that the king of Chu had died, it was a huge shock to them, because it meant that the state of Dayu would make waves again.

Pang Yukun frowned all the time. "I think so too. The king of Chu is dead, and Li Chuyuan is busy fighting with the merchant Council. At this time, there is nothing to do with the king of Huainan and King Yong, let alone the weak Ruyang king."

Fiji nodded, "God bless the state of Dayu. Now it seems that under the rule of the emperor, Dayu is finally going to end this fragmented situation, and a unified Dayu is bound to embark on the road of rejuvenation."

Pang Yukun laughed, "although it is so, there is still a long way to go. Now the country is getting rich, but many officials have made the same old mistakes again. During this period, I have received a lot of impeachment."

Fiji's face was a little ugly. He sighed and said: "the development of Dayu country is so fast that we can't select the officials carefully. In order to fill the vacancy, we can only use the old officials. Ah, now it's really a dilemma."

"Old Fei Ge is right, so now we can only count on the Kong family to work hard on Neo Confucianism. As the emperor said, punishing officials can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause, and changing customs can get rid of the soil of corruption. In a word, this matter still needs a process."

Fijian has been in the officialdom for many years, and knows more about officials than Pang Yukun. He said: "you are wrong. You really think that all officials are full of Confucianism. In fact, many officials are just shining their faces with the brand of Confucianism. Therefore, when you and I enter the Palace this time, we should also propose to increase the punishment for corrupt officials, so as to frighten these officials."

"Well, these people can't destroy the mountains and rivers that our emperor has laid down." Pang Yukun agreed.

They talk all the way to the imperial study. After saluting, they look at Xiao Ming and wait for orders.

"As soon as Li San Gang left, you must have known the news he brought. You may have guessed the meaning of my coming to you. Now is the best time for me to cut my vassal. So you should sing double reed with me at the court meeting tomorrow."

After glancing at them, Xiao Ming tells the whole story. Once the state of Dayu is not unified, he is a lame emperor, and Dayu is a state of state.

After a pause, he continued: "I have given orders to the military aircraft department to guard against the rebellious forces of King Huainan and King Yong. If they do not understand, I can only kill them. For the sake of the unification of the great Chongqing, blood is inevitable."

Fiji and Pang Yukun look dignified. This time they feel Xiao Ming's determination. From their feelings, the vassal king is indeed a trouble. For example, King Yong occupied the Northern Coal and iron ore rich areas.

There are many restrictions on the transportation of coal and iron needed by Qingzhou's industry from Yongdi, which is very unfavorable to the development of industry and Commerce in Dayu.

"The state of Chu was too busy to deal with the king of Yong and the king of Huainan, but we were quite able to deal with them." Pang Yukun was very confident. The constant victory of the war made the officials in the court very confident now.

Hearing the speech, Fiji said: "emperor, the old ministers thought that although they wanted to cut the vassal, they should not be too violent, otherwise they would inevitably cause the extreme dissatisfaction of Huainan king and Yong king. Now it's better to withdraw the military power first, and then the political power, until the two kings were called the rich princes of the feudal state. As for their descendants, they thought that they should be taken care of within three generations, so that they could be pacified."

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "this is what I want to say. Both King Huainan and King Yong contributed to the country during the Northern War, and I don't want to be shameful with them. Besides, one of them is my in laws and the other is my uncle. So I will do as you say tomorrow and spy on their reaction."

"Yes, Emperor." Fiji bowed and said that in fact, he strongly agreed to cut the vassal, whether it was out of public or private interest. After all, for him, the imperial concubine Cui Xueer was always a big trouble.

And recently, it is said that Cui Xueer is pregnant, which makes him even more worried. Now, if Cui Xueer loses the backing of Huainan king, his daughter will be equal to Cui Xueer, and there is no need to worry about irritating Huainan king.

Xiao Ming turned to Pang Yukun and said, "in the chaos of Chu, Li Chuyuan asked me to buy a lot of weapons and ammunition. You go back to check the army's stock with Niu Zhen and sell all the weapons eliminated by the army to him. In this way, the money earned can support the army to change back rifles."

Pang Yukun's favorite is the arms trade. When he heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. In the past, when the vassals were standing side by side, they had saved such a big family fortune only by pouring arms.

Looking back on the good days in the past, he missed them a lot. Now, he can sell arms again.

However, he still had doubts and asked, "emperor, if we sell these firearms to Li Chuyuan, if he wins in the future, we will suffer more casualties when we attack him again."Xiao Ming shook his head. "Pang Shoufu, your account is wrong, and the money earned from the arms trade will promote the development of weapons and industry. In the long run, it will only be beneficial to the war. For example, we can earn 40 million taels of silver to invest in industry and commerce, which is enough to make the amount of one year's development of industry and Commerce in Chongqing exceed that of two or even three years of normal development."

Pang Yukun suddenly realized that he only saw the disadvantages of small places, but did not see the interests of big places. This time, he was short-sighted.

"I understand." Pang Yukun nodded.

After explaining these two things, Xiao Ming asked them to go back, and he continued to record all kinds of knowledge in the crystal stone of science and technology.

With the development of industry and the improvement of education in Chongqing, the knowledge in the 18th and 19th century can not meet the current needs.

Therefore, he is preparing the second generation of books. The knowledge recorded in these books will be more abundant, and even some of them will involve the same depth as contemporary universities.

After all, the industrial level of Dayu has remained stable in the 19th century. Under the industrial level of this century, he needs to refine more knowledge to enable Dayu to develop comprehensively in industry, medicine, chemistry, etc.

At the same time, he is also preparing to build the Royal Library. He will put some core materials into it to help the research laboratories of Dayu state.
