Chapter 344: Established Jinyiwei

If the inventory is emptied, it is Li Shiwen's pot, then the income of the entire dynasty drops by this one, then it can't be dumped to Li Shiwen.
The three months after Li Shiwen's death were three turbulent months.
In Yandu, because there were 20,000 cultivators in Feiyun Prefecture, they were properly suppressed. On the surface, they seemed to be in good order. But even so, during the turmoil, including the rebellion of the three major families, the entire imperial court has run into serious problems.
Outside of Yandu, it does not belong to the core of the imperial court, and it does not seem to be in the center of the political vortex. However, it is precisely because of its deviation from the core that the news received from all sides is backward, and even various rumors. It is more troublesome.
Moreover, since this period of time, the central government has been half out of control. If the decree is not well understood, the field is out of control.
Due to various factors, the imperial court’s income plummeted, which is all too normal.
Even if we don’t put the government’s administrative system into operation as soon as possible, and maintain the rule as soon as possible in the name of the court’s orthodoxy, let alone the restoration of the court’s revenue system, even the income on the books of this system will probably still be there. Down rapidly.
However, to say good news, it is not at all.
Although the imperial court’s inventory is low, the finances are in a state of semi-collapse, and the hole is so big that people are frightening, there is still a solution.
Some are even readily available.
For example, the wealth of the three major families.
They are the loyal ministers of the royal family-of course, this is for the Li family, even the Mo family.
So, when Li Shiwen was planning a breakthrough before, would he find four families to support him because he was short of money?
It definitely will, and the four big families will definitely give it. In addition, when the historical text really began to break through, whether it was the sentimental Wei State, whether it was to allocate military expenses to Yunxiaozong or the Yulin Forbidden Army, of course, it was also necessary to pay. The imperial court took the lead, and the four major families had cooperated with each other and certainly did not spend less money and effort.
But now, after the failure, these families are also seriously injured. So much money was not copied after being ransacked.
But no matter how you say it, they are all wealthy families with deep roots in the country of Yan. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and there is always something to gain.
About two hundred thousand spiritual stones were copied just from the industries of the three major families in Yandu.
Of course, it's not all cash money, many of them are supplies. But in spite of this, it was all rain for the imperial court now like a dry pond, even if it was just a light rain.
It has to be said that to a considerable extent, this is an urgent need.
But this is not fundamental.
I really want to solve the financial problems of the imperial court and gradually digest the power of the imperial court. For my use, it is essential to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
In terms of throttling, drastic reforms are expected. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this chaos, abolishing redundant staff and streamlining the organization will save a lot of personnel expenses; in various construction projects, careful review, if it is not necessary, simply stop it or resell it to local forces. Item means.
And the most important thing is to start negotiations with Yunxiaozong.
Every year the imperial court supplies Yunxiaozong with materials and spirit stones, which is as large as 1.5 million spirit stones.
Stop offering, that's impossible. Li Shiwen didn't dare to stop the confession before, and it was impossible for the Lu family to turn the table with others like Yunxiaozong.
But after all, the relationship between the two parties is currently in the ‘honeymoon period’, and a relatively large cooperation has just been completed. There is some feeling here. In addition, the court does have practical difficulties now, so there is always a possibility of negotiation.
The results of this negotiation have been achieved and some progress has been made, but in fact it is not particularly ideal.
The Lu family suggested that the offerings in the last one or two years should be temporarily slowed down, and then slowly returned after two years. The result was directly rejected by Yunxiaozong. Although the war with Wei was not long, it did not really develop to the point of full-scale war, and during the course of the war, the two sides were confronted more often, and the real war lasted for so many times. day.
However, the intensity of the battle in those few days was extremely high. It can also be seen from the fact that the elite Yulin Forbidden Army of the Dayan Dynasty was almost completely polished. Although the Habayashi Forbidden Army was almost wiped out, it was mainly because Yunxiaozong deliberately sent them to death, but after all, it was a real gun battle. It was fought on the frontal battlefield, and the intensity was less than a certain level, and it was impossible to fight like this. .
As for the battlefield on a larger level, Yunxiaozong was in charge after all, and they cost a lot. If the court wanted to cut off the confession, they would definitely not do it.
To put it bluntly, the main point of Yun Xiaozong's support for the Lu family's superiority is to hope that the Lu family can'do things'. This so-called work, of course, is to provide Yunxiaozong.
It is absolutely impossible to break the confession.
However, Yunxiaozong is not completely unreasonable. They also knew that the Lu family had just taken over the court, and now there are real practical difficulties.
Therefore, he promised to give a part of the quota reduction and exemption, and then replenish it later.
However, no matter how you reduce expenditure, there are always two aspects that cannot save money.
First, the Lu family has to work hard to maintain the direct rule of Jizhou and Jinzhou. This depends on the different situations in each place, and it is impossible to solve it. Some places may need to send troops to solve them, and some places can send adequate officials. That's it.
And the second point is more important, it is military expenditure.
The imperial court is garrisoning troops in various places, and the funding here cannot be less, otherwise there will be major problems in the localities. Although the strength of the local garrison is not very strong, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons, the reform is to be discussed later, and the current situation must be based on stability.
As for the part of the Central Army that the imperial court can directly report to, it needs to increase investment here. In the past, Dayan’s Central Army referred to the Habayashi Forbidden Army, but now the Habayashi Forbidden Army has been hit or lost.
But this situation must not last for long. From the perspective of the central level of the dynasty, the first thing to do is nothing but to re-establish the Central Army.
The court still had to have its own armed forces directly under it.
There were only a few thousand people left in the remains of the Habayashi Imperial Army. Among them, there is a small part of them, in the previous case of Li Xuanhao, they worked as Li Shi Zhongliang, and then went to the guillotine. In the end, there are fewer than two thousand people left. Moreover, two thousand people, the strength is not to say anything, now morale is low and sparse.
But it is not hopeless.
Their morale is low, and the most important factor comes from their confusion about the future.
Lu Chaoxi has already worked hard to solve this problem. On the one hand, he personally received the rest of the Forbidden Army soldiers, and then appointed a Lu family's direct line to enter the Forbidden Army.
No one else, it is Lu Weiwen.
In the Forbidden Army, Wei Wen used the big sword in her hand to win respect, and as a new royal family, as well as her rather bold personality, she won over some people.
Of course, no matter how well done in this aspect, the Habayashi Forbidden Army will only have 2,000 people left.
Stabilizing the military's mind is one thing, and expanding the military is another.
With these two thousand feathers of the Forbidden Army as the backbone, Lu Chaoxi made a plan to recruit sergeants in and around Yandu. The minimum requirement is also the later stage of Qi training. Various treatments, compared with the past Habayashi Forbidden Army, not only did not decline, but improved.
There is still some attraction. After all, the old Forbidden Army, many people wanted to enter, but couldn't ask for it. Although, now that the Lu family is in power, the Yandu people are still in surprise, and many people even have no public opposition to the Lu family, but they still miss the Li family in their hearts.
But no matter how you say it, there will still be some people who don't catch a cold to the Li family, or simply the so-called monarchless people-this may actually be more mainstream. Cultivators, after all, are different from ordinary people. The mentality of taking me as the base and respecting me is actually more mainstream.
In addition, practitioners often live a long life and live by themselves, and the mortals they have known in the past have changed from batch to batch, and the concept of family and country will become weaker.
Such practitioners don't care about Chaotang so much, which is a matter of course.
However, they don't care about their home country, they always care about their interests.
The price offered by the imperial court to recruit a new imperial army can still impress many monks in the Qi refining period. Moreover, further up, including some monks in the foundation building period, will also get the corresponding matching price, this income is very good.
What's more, after becoming the Forbidden Army, the Forbidden Army’s barracks itself is located on a fifth-order branch of the Yandu spiritual vein; and if you take turns to guard the palace, then you have the ability to cultivate in the sixth-order spiritual vein. opportunity.
However, it does not mean that if this standard of strength is reached, the Forbidden Army will recruit people.
Political trials are still needed. Those who want to enter the forbidden army must at least investigate their background. They must not have committed crimes or have been too deeply involved with the three former families. Let alone the Lu family, they must be neutral.
As long as the base-building period is upwards, as long as the background is right, they can be recruited. Anyway, the number is not very large; the Qi-refining period is different. Not every monk with a clean background in the late period of Qi-training will be recruited. Too many, it is not a good thing for the imperial finances that are already under great pressure.
The entire recruiting quota for the new Forbidden Army was only three thousand.
It is obviously not realistic to directly restore the scale of the imperial army to the number of 30,000 at its peak. Lu Chaoxi planned to pile up this army to 10,000.
Counting the two thousand old imperial soldiers, that's five thousand; there are five thousand, and they plan to be deployed from the Feiyunzhou monk army stationed in Yandu.
The Feiyunzhou monks are going back. They have been in Yandu for almost half a year. This monk corps is the elite of Feiyun Prefecture's cultivation world. It has direct descendants of a large family and core disciples of Qingfengmen. They can be organized to fight, but they cannot be guarded outside for a long time. That is not appropriate.
But you can't go back all at once. Lu Chaoxi wanted to be the emperor in Yandu, and he had to have enough reliable power that he could trust.
In this situation, what is more reassuring than the monks in Feiyun Prefecture?
There are many people in the Lu family who will stay in Yandu to work. A large area around the imperial palace, which was formerly the land of the Li family, has now been occupied by the Lu family; in addition, many monks at Qingfengmen have also been hired to fill in the lack of many official positions in the previous imperial court.
There are thousands of people in these two parts alone.
And this time, more than five thousand monks were charged into the Forbidden Army.
In addition to ordinary monks, the emperor Lu Chaoxi himself, of course, would stay in Yandu. Even if he didn't say anything, Ming Chao would stay. After Yanling returned to Yunzhou to deal with some affairs, he would stay in Yandu for a relatively long time. Hai Sande has also been invited, and he will become Dayan's Yushi doctor, one of the three.
In this way, the four Jindans are in Yandu, and the problem is not big. If there are things that the Golden Core cultivators can't solve, Lu Qing also has a resurrection exchange item on hand, so he can rush to sit down.
In terms of military strength, in addition to the reconstruction of the Forbidden Army, there is another aspect that requires increased investment.
This piece of responsibility is Lu Wenen.
A considerable part of the reliable power of Tingwei Mansion was drawn out, and a new department was established, named'Jin Yiwei'-this name was undoubtedly taken by Lu Qing.
This is a secret service. Under Lu Qing's guidance, Lu Chaoxi also had many new ideas. In the future, the functions of the Tingwei Mansion will be reduced, and the main tasks of the Arrest Office and the Judicial Office will be mainly focused on public security.
As for monitoring hundreds of officials, collecting foreign intelligence, special tasks... these responsibilities will be separated from the Tingwei Mansion and transferred to Jin Yiwei.
After the establishment of Jinyiwei, the first task it took over ~EbookFREE.me~ was to set out with the officials sent by the central court to Jizhou and Jinzhou to sort out local government affairs, and clean up the local situation. .
The officials on the bright side have not encountered any difficulties and can directly solve the problem. Of course it is the best. Jin Yiwei who accompanied him only needed to do some intelligence gathering work.
But if the officials on the surface do not work smoothly, then Jin Yiwei will take action.
This is actually the entire court, the next most important task: to regain control of the two states directly managed by the court as soon as possible.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this goal, the reborn court has been operating at full speed.
This court, of course, still has various problems, large and small, but it can only sort out things while doing things.
During this period, Lu Chaoxi deeply felt how hard it is to be an emperor. When seeing off his younger brother Lu Chaohe, he complained:
"I knew it, how could I insist on letting you be the emperor before!"
