Chapter 1014

A cold wind killed Princess Huyang half of her life.

Gu Jiu sent people to send her medicine, and her condition gradually improved.

She and the people around her sighed, "old, the body day by day, do not know how many live head."

"Bah, bah, madam, don't say such unlucky things. You can live a long life. "

Huyang Princess smile, smile tired and weak, "brother has been to three years, he may still be on the way waiting for this palace."

"Why is she so pessimistic because she has improved after taking medicine?"

"When you are old, what you care about is nothing more than your descendants and the things behind you. I don't worry about things behind me. The tomb has been repaired properly. Mr. Yin and Yang were specially invited to point the acupoints. All the burial utensils have been arranged. The only thing that worries this palace is Minmin. I don't know when I can see her. "

"Do you want to send a memorial to the palace? Please call Mr. Gu back."

Huyang asked, "how many years have Minmin and Gu Yu gone?"

"Seven or eight years."

"It's time to come back. Help this palace to sit up. "

Huyang Princess asked someone to write the memorial. Every word is a mother's missing for her daughter.

The memorial was sent to the palace and put on Gu Jiu's desk.

Words sour, every sentence blood tears.

Gu Jiu asked Bai Zhong, "is Princess Huyang still ill?"

Bai Zhong bowed down and said, "it has improved. I don't know why she handed such a memorial."

Gu Jiu sighed, "Huyang is old!"

When you are old, you don't need to work hard, you will have more time to miss and remember.

"My mother means to let Princess Huyang get what she wants?"

Gu Jiu whispered, "it's time for Gu Yu and his wife to return to the capital."

In the evening, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao discussed the matter.

"Aunt Huyang was ill, and she became sentimental, even her cousin. Do you want to recall Gu Yu to the capital

Liu Zhao hesitated for a moment, nodded his head and said, "call him back. He stayed in Jiangling house, and what he could do was limited. "

Gu Yu's fame means that the ceiling of his official career is very low.

With a little reach, you can reach the top. You can't go up.

Of course, Liu Zhao could be arbitrary and powerful, and promoted Gu Yu.

However, Gu Yu's talent is able to govern one county and one state, but not to govern one government, one province and one road.

If he is not qualified for the position, he will be promoted by force, which will harm Gu Yu.

His subordinates, all of whom were Jinshi origin, were more talented than him, smarter than him, better than his family background and richer than him. As a superior official, he is hard to convince.

If the government decrees are not effective, how can we govern the local government.

If there is internal strife among officials, even if Gu Jiu endorsements Gu Yu, Gu Yu will have to pay a price to get rid of the whole body.

Officialdom has its rules.

Even Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu had to abide by the rules of officialdom most of the time.

When they fought with officials, they would correct and modify the court rules, but they never touched the official rules or the imperial examination system.

This is a big thunder. Whoever touches will die.

Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu are careful to keep the bottom line, not to touch.

Wantonly destroying the promotion path of scholars will certainly be opposed by scholars all over the world.

In all dynasties, only the founder Taizu had the opportunity and prestige to change the official rules and regulations.

Just, why change the officialdom rules?

So far, there is no better selection system than the imperial examination.

The imperial examination allowed ordinary people's children to become officials, breaking the monopoly of aristocratic families on the officialdom.

Before the emergence of a better talent selection system, the imperial examination was the most worrying system.

At least for now, the imperial examination is the most worrying.

The status and importance of the imperial examination determined that Gu Yu, who was only famous, had a difficult career.

Liu Zhao asked Gu Jiu, "do you want Gu Yu to enter the court?"

Gu Jiu said: "he is suitable to go to the Hubu, but he can't be the Hubu servant."

Liu Zhao nodded, "it's hard for him to be a servant of the Ministry of household. Even Lu Aiqing will take a clear stand against it. "

Lord Lu was born as a Jinshi, involving the imperial examination and the promotion of officials. A whole person who wanted to climb on top of Jinshi was not a genius like Ren Qiu. He would definitely take a clear stand against Gu Yu's appointment as a servant of the Ministry of public affairs.

Gu Jiu said: "don't let him go to the Ministry of housing, too aggrieved."

Liu Zhao asked for her opinion, "should I put it in the Shaofu?"

Shao government is the private library of emperor Liu Zhao. The appointment of officials is naturally the emperor has the final say, and does not need to go through six provinces or three provinces.

Gu Jiu shakes his head, "how is jingzhaoyin yamen?"

"Jing Zhaoyin? It's a job to offend people. It's not flattering. "

"It was just because he was not flattered everywhere that Gu Yu took up the post of jingzhaoyin, so that the court would not be troubled. They want someone to carry the pot. "Beijing Zhaoyin of all ages usually has no good end.

No matter who does this position, the official career behind is mostly not smooth, with few exceptions.

Therefore, many people regard Jingzhao yamen as a dangerous road.

When we arrived in the capital, Zire wanted to be a government official in three provinces and six ministries. It's not only decent, it's easy to get promoted.

Going to Jingzhao yamen is a waste of life and talent.

There are numerous mountains on the top of which everyone can give orders to Jingzhao Yamen. Everyone is an ancestor, and Jingzhao yamen is a grandson.

In those days, you can be as stubborn as you want to be.

Liu Zhaozai thought carefully, "you are right. If Gu Yu takes the post of jingzhaoyin, he will be a high-ranking official, but he will be subject to all kinds of restrictions, and there will be few opponents. Moreover, Gu Yu is good at people's livelihood economy, so it is appropriate for him to sit in this position. It's time for unified planning. I even want to re register the fish scale list. "

Fish scale book is a census of land, houses, ponds and forests.

It has always been extremely sensitive because it involves tax revenue, large households' concealment of population and land, and good people's contribution to official families.

During the two hundred years of the reign of the great Zhou Dynasty, there were only two fish scale books.

One was Taizu Dynasty, the other was Shizong Dynasty.

In other words, the number of acres officially registered by the imperial court of the Zhou Dynasty is now the data of more than 100 years ago, which is horribly lagging behind.

In Beijing, every household had done the statistics of population and land in private, but that was decades ago, and the data was also missing badly.

The truly complete data is in Gu Jiu's hands.

Chen Er Zhuang took people to the countryside to develop the rural economy. At the same time, he counted the population and land of each village.

However, these data are not clear road, the court can not recognize.

Because once the data of population and land in Gu Jiu's hands is recognized, it is equal to passing the Ming Road.

This means that from now on, the government has to collect taxes and apportion corvee according to the complete data.

No way!

With the ability of the local government, we can't do it at all. The people did not approve of it.

People only recognize the fish scale book, and tax collection must follow the scale book.

When the fish scale register was registered, the amount of land and Mu was far less than that of today, so the tax paid was naturally less.

If we collect taxes according to the new data, most of the household taxes will have to change.

In particular, landlords, gentry, or families of scholars with limited tax-free places will pay taxes twice as much.

Aristocratic families are also not immune, because they are the real big landlords.

These people made a lot of noise, and the imperial court had to shake three times.

Gu Jiu is well aware of the risks. She said, "re register the fish scale list. You are baking Gu Yu on the fire. He will be accused by thousands of people, will be infamous for thousands of years, and even have the worry of life. The time is not ripe, so don't rush it. I think if we wait seven or eight years to start the business, then the resistance will be much less. "

Liu Zhao was a little upset, "cheap them."

Gu Jiuquan said: "at present, there is a business tax, you don't have to focus on agricultural tax. Strictly control customs duties and crack down on smuggling at sea, and the annual income can cover all agricultural taxes. "

"Even if there is a business tax, it can't be cheaper for those aristocratic landlords."

"It's too urgent for all officials to offend. The family behind every official is a big landlord. To move the land is to move their interests. We don't have the capital to fight with the officials and scholars all over the world. You can be steady. "

Even Gu's family is a real landlord.

Land taxes, from royal families to seven year olds, will rise up against it. Unite to overthrow Liu Zhao and change to Emperor.

This involves too much. The emperors of all dynasties knew the root cause of the problem, but they were unable to change it, because the resistance came from the world, from the court, from the side, and even from themselves.

How nice to muddle along!

As long as you don't become the monarch of the subjugated country, you can have a happy life every day.

Liu Zhao wanted to move the land to test the court's reaction.

Gu Jiusheng was afraid that he would be too hasty. He overturned on the way and caught him.

"Until we are fully prepared, you must not do anything, not even mention a word, and you are not allowed to reveal the meaning of this. No one in the court is a fool, but if you show any meaning in this respect, you will be caught by the group of smart people, and then there will be a series of troubles to come to you. "

"I know how to handle it. You don't have to worry."

Can Gu Jiu not worry.

Liu Zhao was angry sometimes, and Wanyi made a slip of the tongue, which was really fatal.

She thought that she had to remind Lin Shuping to be prompt.

Liu Zhao was not happy, "you don't trust me."

Gu nine rolled a white eye, "I'm worried about you, you don't appreciate it."

Liu Zhao laughed. "Of course I know you are worried about me. Don't think I'm a 20-year-old impulsive young man. It involves a wide range of issues and matters a lot. Before I have a complete grasp of it, I will guarantee that every eye and every eyebrow will be steady, and I will never make the mistake of saying too much and losing everything. ""I believe you, of course."

Afraid of Liu Zhao's nagging and becoming a wordy king, Gu Jiu quickly succumbed.

She really convinced him.

After becoming emperor, there was more and more nonsense.

Liu Zhao was happy. "When we finish our work at this stage, we can relax for a few days. How about staying at dawn for a few days and leaving after the Mid Autumn Festival

"Very good!"

Gu Jiu readily agreed, "remember to let Yu Ge'er come back in the Mid Autumn Festival."

"What are you going to do? Do you want to marry him? "

"If we look at each other first, we may not be able to decide."
