"That's why I drew this picture of the refugees so that Your Majesty can see the tragic situation caused by Wen Junshi and others' reversal and continued implementation of the old law!

"Not only that, I also want to impeach Wen Junshi and others, for the sake of party struggle, regardless of the common people in the world, and use the lives of refugees as pawns in the party struggle!"

The emperor had been completely surrounded by Chu Ge. He was already frightened when he heard it, but he didn't expect that there was something even more exciting.

He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wang, what is the meaning of this statement?"

Chu Ge put on an impassioned posture, and the scribe's talent for awe-inspiring righteousness was brought into full play.

"Officials and ministers have ordered Daming Prefecture and other places to actively reserve grains several months ago to prepare for a severe drought that may occur this year.

"At that time, Wen Junshi and others were still quite critical, and they were willing to obey the rules. It was only after the ministers took the initiative that enough grain was saved for the Changping warehouse in Damingfu and other places.

"Wen Junshi and others often say that the new law uses Changpingcang's grain to lend money to young crops, which is competing with the people for profit. So, how are they using the Changpingcang they control?

"When there was a severe drought, refugees suddenly appeared. However, Changpingcang in Daming Prefecture only kept food for a few months before driving out all the refugees and driving them south to the capital!

"I would like to ask the officials, there is obviously enough food in the Changping warehouse of Daming Mansion, but the food was not used to relieve the victims. Instead, these hungry people were driven to the capital. What is the behavior of Wen Junshi and others?

what for?

"Obviously, in their view, as long as they can overthrow me, Wang Wenchuan, and repeal the new law, what do the lives of tens of thousands of refugees mean?

"My statement is all well-documented, please let the officials make a clear decision!"

This statement was so conclusive and convincing that the emperor was stunned.

Judging from the situation of the induction of heaven and man...it seems that what Wang Wenchuan said is more reasonable?

The emperor was doubtful: "Is it true that, as the Prime Minister said, the new law will not lead to the anger of heaven and the resentment of people, but the continued implementation of the old law, the old-fashioned way, and the stagnation of progress will make God angry and punish him?

"Otherwise, why is it that only Damingfu and surrounding prefectures and counties are experiencing severe drought, while other places are safe and sound?"

Chu Ge didn't speak anymore, because he knew that it was time for others to perform.

Sure enough, the officials of the new party immediately reacted. Isn't this a golden opportunity to attack the old party?

Don't miss it!

"Officials, what the king and prime minister said is true. It can be seen that the old law has reached the point where it is unsustainable and it must be abolished and the new law must be implemented!"

"Official, I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

In the court, officials from the New Party came forward one after another, creating a surging momentum.

If these new party officials had come forward forcibly before, it would only have strengthened the impression in the emperor's mind that "they were fighting in the party", which would not only be of no help, but might also have a counterproductive effect.

But now that the emperor has fallen to the side of the New Party, the speeches of these people have become a huge pile of rocks in the emperor's heart, making the emperor convinced of Wang Wenchuan's statement.

Chu Ge knew that the final decision was almost finalized.

"The official family, I dare to say that the severe drought in Daming Prefecture must have been caused by the failure to implement the new law.

"As long as the Daming Mansion implements the new law, there will definitely be rain within ten days! If there is no rain, please ask the officials to remove the minister from his position!"

The emperor and officials were all stunned by these words.

Playing so big?

Several New Party officials winked at Chu Ge, suggesting that there was absolutely no need for him to do this.

Because at this time, the new party has finally squeezed out the old party and can control the court. Why take such a risk? What if it doesn't rain within ten days?

But Wang Wenchuan was not moved at all, looking at the emperor with an extremely determined expression.

The emperor was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, just follow what the king said!"

After leaving the court, Chu Ge returned to the political hall.

He has one last thing to do.

Zhang Renxia was transferred away from the capital and demoted far away.

"Since you want to be a traitor, then do it to the end!"

With a stroke of his pen, Chu Ge finally brought this incident to an end.

…

The white mist before my eyes gathered and dispersed again.

The familiar prompt appeared in front of Chu Ge again.

[From the Battle of Uuzhu: 3 years]

Finally, the dust has almost settled.

Wang Wenchuan's line was finally solved by Chu Ge in a "treacherous yet loyal" way.

According to historical records, four years after Wang Wenchuan's new law was implemented, the interest on youth money reached 3 million yuan. Seven years after it was implemented, the remaining money for free labor (that is, the net balance after paying the labor money) reached 4 million.

Through.

The two combined add approximately 7 million yuan to the annual fiscal revenue.

Of course, the Qi Dynasty at that time had a lot of expenditures due to the three redundancies. The annual fiscal expenditure reached tens of millions, and the fiscal revenue was roughly the same.

Some people may think that in the face of tens of millions of dollars of expenditure, the annual income of 7 million dollars only accounts for one-tenth and does not play a very obvious role. This obviously ignores the effect of "surplus".

From the time when we were barely able to make ends meet, and even suffered financial deficits from time to time, we now have a balance of 7 million yuan every year. This is actually a huge improvement.

What's more, Wang Wenchuan's reform also included some expenditure reduction measures, which further reduced the country's financial expenditure and made the national treasury more abundant.

According to historical records, Wang Wenchuan's reform finally accumulated wealth that could be used by the court for twenty years (of course based on the normal payment of annual tax revenue). The Northwest Army regained five states and expanded two thousand miles of land.

Even many years later, the Qi Dynasty was still using the money saved from Wang Wenchuan's reforms.

However, in history, Wang Wenchuan's new law was quickly repealed, and the court fell into a chaotic party struggle between the new party and the old party, laying the groundwork for the decline and demise of the Qi Dynasty.

At this time, Chu Ge presided over the reform as Wang Wenchuan, which lasted longer than the original Wang Wenchuan reform in history, and was executed with greater intensity, so the financial revenue obtained was naturally more.

After Wang Wenchuan used Heavenly Sensation to rebel against General Yijun, the power of the old party suffered a further blow, and the new law that was originally abolished was continued to be implemented.

So, with a stroke of his pen, Wang Wenchuan approved all these military resources to train the Flying Tiger Army for Yu Jiaxuan.

If you want money, give money, if you want people, give people, if you want food, give food.

Whatever the Flying Tiger Army needs, they will not be stingy.

This situation made Chu Ge couldn't help but think of the Great Sheng Dynasty, which seemed to have such a pair of generals.

Judging from the results, General Deng Yuanjing's pair of generals and prime ministers were much happier than Wang Wenchuan.

Although it was said that the people were dead and the government was at an end, at least that year, the reform was successful, the bandits were wiped out, and the northern barbarians did not dare to invade.

Wang Wenchuan was in a much worse situation. Not only did his reform fail midway, but he also could not find a strong general in the court who could be completely trusted and could expand the territory for the Qi Dynasty and regain Yanyun.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge couldn't help but sigh.

After all, there are too many regrets in history.

In the last two or three years, Chu Ge no longer had to do anything. He only had to wait patiently, handle some daily official duties, maintain his position, and then continuously send military resources to Yu Jiaxuan.

Although this dungeon has two lines, it does not force players to reach a perfect level in both lines.

If one line performs particularly well, the other line can take its course.

Chu Ge patiently waited for the battle of Niuzhu to come.

At the same time, he was also a little curious.

I wonder what kind of record should be written about Wang Wenchuan in the history books after his actions like this?

…

At the same time, Yu Jiaxuan, played by Zhao Haiping, is training the Flying Tiger Army.

The military camp is under construction in full swing, the purchased war horses are being carefully taken care of, and the blacksmith shop is working day and night to build the ordnance and armor needed by the Flying Tiger Army.

Compared with Chu Ge, Zhao Haiping did not focus his main energy on the role of Wang Wenchuan, but only played a few key links to ensure that the new law could be developed according to historical conditions.

His main focus was on Yu Jiaxuan.

Because the character Yu Jiaxuan he played was successful in pacifying bandits in various places and was very effective in local governance, he also coordinated a lot of military expenditures for the Flying Tiger Army.

Although these military supplies are definitely not as generous as those given by Wang Wenchuan played by Chu Ge, after all, Yu Jiaxuan played by Zhao Haiping can personally take charge of the military training, so the lack of military supplies can be made up for with more rigorous training.

So far, the number of Flying Tiger Army has reached 5,000.

Although these five thousand people are not many, as the saying goes, the number of soldiers is not as good as the skill.

The redundant troops of the Qi Dynasty were already a chronic problem. Although they had many troops, there were only a few that could fight.

According to historical records, the preparations for the Flying Tiger Army took "a lot of effort, Jiaxuan was good at mediating, and everything was done immediately." In the end, it was "exhausted of people's efforts all the way" to successfully build the Flying Tiger Army.

, weapons and equipment are also prepared, not only to suppress the barbarians, but also to defend the border. If the enemy from the north is defeated, they will be frightened and named "Hu'er Army".

In other words, the preparation and training of the Flying Tiger Army actually cost a lot of money. It was Yu Jiaxuan who was good at mediating and tried every means to obtain enough military resources for the Flying Tiger Army.

In the end, Yu Jiaxuan really managed to build a strong army with limited resources under the circumstances at that time.

It's a pity that in real history, not long after Yu Jiaxuan became a member of the Flying Tiger Army, he was transferred and continued to be his firefighter.
