MTL - Summoning In the Snow, My Harem is Too Dangerous-Chapter 36
And the establishment of such a cabinet is not the same as in history.
In the history of the cabinet, the decision-making power rests with the emperor, and the one established by Xia Ji is centered on Cao Changqing.
It has the power to implement policies on his behalf.
As for the remaining cabinet ministers, although Xia Ji asked these ministers to recommend them, they actually planned to adopt the form of election from the people.
The reason for this is that the brain drain in Daxia is too serious now.
Although it is riskier to do so.
But even with Cao Changqing's suppression, nothing could go wrong.
But when Manchu Wenwu heard this, his eyes involuntarily turned to the Six Books.
Presumably, the establishment of the cabinet is small, in fact, it is to weaken the power of the six ministers.
This can be seen from Li Si's imprisonment.
And, everyone knows it.
If you want to change the current court, you must take back the power from the six ministers.
He Shen's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say much.
He had long discovered that Human Sovereign Xia was extremely difficult, and today a Sword God appeared out of nowhere.
It made him tremble to the extreme.
Not to mention, look at the attitudes of the other people in the Six Books.
Perhaps it was already subdued by Xia Ji.
"As for the position of the Minister of Punishment, Bao Zheng, the Minister of Rites, is temporarily taking his place."
............
The meeting will end soon.
Although it was the first time for the meeting, most of the people were silent.
Not just because of the power that Xia Ji showed.
There were also some pigtails on their bodies that were pinched by Xia Ji.
After discussing these major events, everyone began to report the disasters that occurred in the places under their jurisdiction.
And Xia Ji methodically stated many solutions.
For a time, all the ministers refreshed their understanding of the emperor again.
only.
Only one thing has not been settled.
That is the newly established cabinet, except for Cao Changqing, who is both the prime minister and the cabinet's chief assistant.
Except for the left and right ministers, the rest of the cabinet ministers have not yet decided.
in most people's guesses.
Rather than Xia Ji wanting to establish a new institution to take back the power in the hands of the six ministers.
Rather, he wanted to let Cao Changqing completely control the court.
outside the palace gate.
Numerous officials walked towards the mansion.
He Shen frowned: "Your Majesty wants to weaken the power in our hands, and you don't have to concentrate all the power on Cao Changqing."
The six Shangshu can still check and balance each other.
If the power is taken back, these powers can only be controlled by the emperor.
rather than a state.
This is also the reason why Daxia has not had a state since a hundred years ago.
Because Xiangbang is the head of the hundred officials, if he is loyal, he can naturally be used by the emperor.
But if you have two hearts.
Just like Lu Buwei of the Great Qin Dynasty today, he took charge of the court and led to the fall of imperial power.
"Your Majesty's decision is naturally justified. You and your lord don't underestimate Cao Changqing."
Pei Ju spoke lightly without explaining too much.
Although he was mad.
But when he is awake, he thinks carefully and observes meticulously.
Whether it is Ren Mao, or Cao Changqing, or Li Chungang who defeated the Sword Demon with one move today.
Everything is like rootless water, as if it appeared out of nowhere.
Pei Ju guessed that it was most likely someone brought out by the emperor from the arsenal.
But he has no way of knowing whether there is such a heritage in the arsenal.
but.
These things are not what Pei Ju is worried about.
According to what Xia Ji said, as long as he can complete the allocation of funds for this disaster relief, he can obtain the essence of the dragon veins to cure madness.
"Let's go quickly, I have to revise the latest bill." Bao Zheng quickened his pace a little.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not as simple as you think. Now Dongchang has the power to supervise all officials, so don't have any other thoughts." Yu Qian looked at He Shen, but his words were sincere.
Hear this.
He Shen's eyes were round and round: "I was the first to be loyal to Your Majesty. You all came to beat me one by one?"
Hearing this, Wang Anshi also laughed: "I'm not afraid that I can't change my previous habits with adults."
He Shen snorted coldly, and his pace quickened a little.
He was indeed a big corrupt official before, and even most of the corrupt officials in the imperial city were traced to him in the end.
But nothing happened to him.
Because of this, Heshen had no other thoughts.
Since the emperor Xia Ji wanted to revive the prosperity of Xia, how could He Shen be a stumbling block?
"I'll show it to you, Shen and I are also a breeze!".
Chapter 36 The people of the noble family are all charming
The first meeting was soon over.
But Xia Ji was still in the hall.
But there are still some things that have not been dealt with.
It's those families.
Don't feel that the family has no power and can handle it at will.
They have almost all of Daxia's economic lifeline. If they can't convince them, the situation that Daxia will face is still very dangerous.
After the dismissal of all officers.
Xia Ji said: "Go and bring those people from the noble family."
Since the beginning of the crowning ceremony, they have been watching from one side.
Now that the meeting is over, they are still waiting outside.
soon.
Under the summons of the guards, those members of the aristocratic family were brought up.
The head of the Zhao family is Zhao Shen, the head of the Jia family is Jia Changyi, the head of the Lu family is Lu Qian, and the head of the Qian family is Qian Tongtian.
These four people are the patriarchs of the four largest families in the Daxia Imperial City.
"Caomin sees Your Majesty." All four of them saluted respectfully.
Whether it is the power displayed by the emperor, or the background behind him.
enough to gain their respect.
But most importantly, the Emperor agreed to their request.
This shows that everything is still negotiable.
"A few of you are here because of the law promulgated last night." Xia Ji said lightly, explaining the intention of the people.
Zhao Shen, Jia Changyi, Lu Qian, and Qian Tongtian were all stunned.
Then nodded.
Zhao Shen said directly: "Yes, I am here just for the law promulgated last night."
"Your Majesty now wants to bring Daxia back to the heyday of that year. I can also see that, but is it too much to target the family?"
"After all, taxes alone account for 30 to 40 percent of net profit every year."
Speaking of which.
Then Jia Changyi, Lu Qian, and Qian Tongtian all said, "That's right, if things go on like this, we'll have to live in a foreign country."
The reason why the aristocratic family exists is that it has hooked up with many officials.
Unexpectedly, the officials they had relied on before were all arrested by Xia Ji with thunderous means.
Lost trust now, plus increased taxes.
Before long, the power of the family will be greatly weakened.
At that time, it is impossible to control the economic lifeline of Daxia if you want to control many commercial firms.
"Do you think the current tax is too heavy?" Hearing this, Xia Ji chuckled lightly.
It seems that they are not aware of their true thoughts.
It is true that the power of these aristocratic families is weakened and the economic lifeline of Daxia is taken back.
But more, still want to use this to break the dominance of the aristocratic family.
To know.
Today's officials in Daxia are all from aristocratic families.
This is a very bad situation.
After the imperial court is monopolized by the noble family, it will only lead to the growing power of the noble family, and later on, it will start to interfere with the imperial court.
After weakening the economy controlled by the family.
Xia Ji planned to implement the imperial examination system and open a school palace.
But before that, the problem of the emptiness of the treasury must be solved first.
Otherwise, there is simply no spare capacity to do these things.
Xia Ji looked at the few people below the steps.
He said lightly: "Now, it's just a tentative draft, and changes will be made in the future."
"In my plan, the tax that the family will bear will be 50% of the total revenue."
fifty percent? !
Hear this.
Zhao Shen, Jia Changyi, Lu Qian, and Qian Tongtian immediately turned ashen.
Taxing 30% of the tax is equivalent to digging their flesh.
50%, and 50% of the total income.
