The fog in his vision dissipated again, and Chu Ge began to play the next stage of the role of Wang Wenchuan.

"We can almost implement all other contents of the new law."

Chu Ge looked at the plans for the second batch of new laws in his hand.

This time, the new law finally includes the Green Crops Law.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, has even more control over the entire court than Wang Wenchuan in history.

It can only be said that when a gentleman plays tricks like a villain, he will be more terrifying than a real villain.

The old party was also trying to fight back, such as constantly impeaching and criticizing the new party, but this counterattack was easily suppressed by Chu Ge and did not have much effect at all.

On the one hand, this is because Wu Desi is actually in the hands of Chu Ge. Even if officials of the old party want to dig up dirt on the new party, it will be difficult for them to do so; even if they can, the emperor may not support it.

After all, the emperor already had dirt on the New Party officials. As a referee, once he made up his mind to sidestep the situation, there was nothing the Old Party could do.

As for conventional attacks on the new law, they are even less effective.

Chu Ge's new law plans this time are all stable plans, and the results they produce are basically positive. In addition, the official system law firmly tied the emperor to his own chariot, so the old party's impeachment

It won't have much effect at all.

Therefore, after Chu Ge looked around in the court and found that everyone was basically his own, he felt that he could almost enter the next stage.

Promote the Youth Law!

Of course Chu Ge knew that promoting the Green Seeding Law might cause great harm, but he still wanted to try it.

On the one hand, it is because if you want to win the Battle of Niuzhu, you must have sufficient military resources. However, except for the exemption law that can significantly increase fiscal revenue, the new laws currently implemented have little effect.

The exemption law has also been modified in order to win over the centrists in the old party, so the income effect is far different from the historical exemption law.

Therefore, Chu Ge promoted the Green Seedling Law at this time in order to further increase fiscal revenue and give the subsequent Niuzhu Battle a greater chance of victory.

On the other hand, it was because Chu Ge also wanted to see how far he could push the Green Seed Law at this time.

Historically, Wang Wenchuan promoted the Qingmiao Law, which brought the Qi Dynasty at least 3 million yuan in revenue every year. However, as local officials began to continuously increase the interest rates of the Qingmiao Law, the Qingmiao Law changed from "generating money" to "acquisition of wealth" and was eventually abolished.

.

Now, Chu Ge has dealt a heavy blow to the old party through vigorous party struggle methods, and his voice in the court has also been extremely high.

Unless the emperor has a serious crisis of trust in him, the possibility of being dismissed as prime minister is extremely slim.

He wanted to see if he could achieve better results than when he implemented the Young Seedlings Method under such a consistent situation?

Therefore, Chu Ge added one more item to his improved Green Seedling Method plan.

Local officials in various states and counties are strictly prohibited from raising interest rates on loans under the Qingmiao Law, and are strictly prohibited from forcing apportionment. All levels must review the loan at all levels. Once any forced apportionment or increase in interest rates occurs, the superiors in the area will also be punished.

In addition, Chu Ge also decided to regularly send Beijing officials to various places for unannounced visits. Whenever Qingmiao Loan was discovered to be out of shape, the local officials in charge would be punished.

Of course, Chu Ge also knows very well that it is definitely impossible to rely on the constraints of this system to completely eliminate the situation where officials below sing false scriptures, but it can be avoided to some extent.

Wang Wenchuan's reform in history did not do well on this point, which can be said to be an omission.

Wang Wenchuan used the income from Qingmiao Loans as part of his performance evaluation, which naturally spawned many speculative officials who forcibly apportioned Qingmiao Loans and raised interest rates.

As a result, he will naturally be firmly blamed for harming the people.

Chu Ge speculated that the reason why Wang Wenchuan indulged these New Party officials to a certain extent in history was probably out of necessity.

Because Wang Wenchuan did not control the entire court to the extent that Chu Ge does now, he did not clean up the old party hard enough, and the trust he gained from the emperor was relatively limited. There were only so many people in the new party, and Wang Wenchuan could not spare the time to rectify the new party.

, naturally, whoever needs it will make do with collecting the money for the treasury first.

But at this time, Chu Ge can attack within the new party within a certain limit, because the pressure from the old party is already very small.

…

[From the Battle of Uuzhu: 4 years]

Soon, Chu Ge's Green Seed Law was implemented for a full year.

He looked at the documents on the desk again, and information from all over the country came to him like snowflakes.

The remaining old party officials are still campaigning against the Qingmiao Law, including Wen Junshi, who was expelled from the capital.

But Chu Ge is completely immune to these and doesn't even look at them.

The Green Crops Law was implemented for one year and indeed brought in a large amount of income, reaching more than two million yuan.

This is indeed a considerable amount of income.

Many officials in the New Party were punished for forcibly apportioning money or privately raising interest rates on youth loans. Chu Ge's vigorous and resolute style caused some turmoil within the New Party. However, since there were not many voices from the Old Party in the court, most of the speculators in the New Party

Pai had no choice but to swallow his anger.

They either restrain themselves and do not dare to force the apportionment of Qingmiao loans or raise interest rates so blatantly, or they try to find ways to cover up the situation. The latter is obviously very difficult and risky.

To a certain extent, this has made the implementation of the Green Crops Law better than in history.

Chu Ge estimated that based on the current situation, winning the Battle of Niuzhu in four years would not be a big problem.

At least in terms of military resources, it is sufficient.

After all, laws such as the Arms Supervision Law and the Disarmament Law that can improve the military's combat effectiveness have been implemented long ago. Coupled with the abundant fiscal revenue in recent years, as long as Yu Jiaxuan's line can function normally, there is great hope that in Niuzhu

Ji defeated the Jin soldiers.

Came to the court again.

What surprised Chu Ge was that there seemed to be something wrong with the emperor's face today.

"Wang Qing, do you know about this matter?"

As the emperor spoke, he asked the little eunuch beside him to hand over something.

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, then realized that he might have triggered some special plot, and quickly took the things.

This is a scroll and a memorial.

Chu Ge slowly unfolded the scroll and couldn't help but feel a "thump" in his heart.

This is a "Picture of Refugees"!

The refugees in the picture are all naked and haggard, each using a branch as a cane, a scene of purgatory on earth.

In the memorial, the harm caused by the new law to the people was lamented, saying that the new law had caused serious consequences such as "nine rooms in ten houses were empty, and the people were displaced."

At the end, there is a sentence: "I can already cry with my eyes, but what's worse than this? The drought is caused by Wenchuan. As the officials and ministers said, if you go to Wenchuan, it will rain. It will not rain for ten days." Rain, that is, begging to behead the minister Xuande outside the gate for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

I mean, what I saw in front of me has already made people shed tears, not to mention that the real situation is far worse than this? This severe drought is all caused by Wang Wenchuan's reform. If the officials can follow what I say , to depose Wang Wenchuan, it will definitely rain! If it does not rain within ten days, then I will be beheaded outside Xuande Gate to punish me for deceiving the emperor.

This memorial can be said to be heart-breaking every word.

Look at the name on the memorial: Zhang Renxia!

Just when Chu Ge was still a little distracted because of the name Zhang Renxia, ​​the emperor had already slapped the armrest and asked angrily: "Wang Qing! What's going on!

“Is this the case since the new law came into effect?”

Chu Ge had not seen the emperor so angry for a long time, and there was even some sadness in this anger.

He quickly explained: "Guan family, this is not the fault of the new law..."

But his explanation still failed to work. In grief and anger, the emperor once again decided to dismiss Wang Wenchuan from the prime minister.

…

"Damn! This dog emperor!

"The ears are too soft!"

Returning to the critical juncture of five years again, Chu Ge was simply furious.

This failure came too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared at all.

Of course, part of the reason is that he has already suppressed the old party to a great extent, so he unknowingly relaxed his vigilance, and ended up being stolen by these old parties.

After calming down, Chu Ge learned from his experience and began to analyze the reasons for this failure.

On the surface, this failure appears to be sudden.

It stands to reason that Wang Wenchuan has basically eliminated the old parties within the court, and officials who support the new law already account for the majority in the entire court.

Moreover, it also won the emperor's trust through official laws.

But why are we still dismissed just because of one picture?

This matter is more complicated when explained in detail.

The key this time is the "change in the sky".

People in ancient times were very secretive, especially in the communication between heaven and man. The emperor, who claimed to be the emperor, was even more convinced of this.

Therefore, during severe droughts in ancient times, many emperors would fast, pray for rain, and even issue edicts to punish themselves. This is because in the eyes of the ancients, natural disasters such as severe droughts were warnings from God, and emperors must reflect seriously and correct their mistakes.

And this time, why can a "picture of refugees" be so lethal?

Because there were indeed many refugees at that time.

The emperor originally did not know how serious the disaster was at that time, but after seeing this picture of refugees, he was mentally shocked and even went without eating for several days because of grief.
