MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 755 seize power

  Goldman Sachs said: "Not everyone can be redeemed, but those who are only sentenced to less than three months in prison for fighting, can be redeemed with money."

  In fact, the law of using money to redeem sins has always existed, and it also exists in this dynasty.

  However, Zhao Hanzhang was in a hurry to employ people, and in addition to curbing the sudden increase in public security cases due to the war, she ordered that all the laws of atonement with money be abolished, and those who should be beheaded and exiled should be tattooed and sent to the army.

  The order at that time only involved serious criminals, in order to deter the bandits in Yuzhou, as well as landlords and gentry who rob refugees into slaves.

  This allowed Zhou Wenshi, who was sentenced to a ten-year detention for fighting, to also be detained in prison. In the past, he could use money to atone for his crime.

  In this way, not only will the county government have some income, but it can also reduce the pressure on the prison.

   You must know that the number of cells is limited, and they have to provide food and housing for those who live in them. For some permanent residents, uniforms have to be prepared, which costs a lot.

  Many rich people have been arrested recently, and none of them are serious crimes. Goldman Sachs thinks that a few more rules can be added, for example, how much ransom should be paid to get out of prison for fighting;

  Even, fast horses on the street, violation of curfew, driving in the wrong direction, public nudity, etc. can all be redeemed with money.

  In these cases, most of the people who violated it were wealthy people, and they were fined for every penalty, and part of the prison cells could be emptied.

  Zhao Ming felt that Goldman Sachs had a good idea, but this order was issued by Zhao Hanzhang, and she had to approve and order to add detailed rules.

So Zhao Ming mentioned something when he went to have dinner with Zhao Hanzhang at noon, and Zhao Hanzhang nodded after thinking about it for a while, "Yes, but what crimes can be redeemed and what crimes cannot be redeemed, there must be regulations, and the amount of money and grain needs should be clearly determined, so that the county magistrate Gao Write an official document and submit it."

  Zhao Ming nodded and saw a letter in Zhao Hanzhang's hand. Just looking at the envelope, he could see that it was written by Zhao Zhongyu.

He only took a look and then looked away, but Zhao Hanzhang had already noticed that she smiled and handed the letter to Zhao Ming, saying: "The letter from my uncle, Your Majesty wants to sacrifice to the sky on the summer solstice. Going to Yuncheng to worship, and..."

  She raised her eyes to look at Zhao Ming, raised her lips slightly and said, "Let's discuss the matter of moving the capital together."

  Zhao Ming: "...the emperor wants to move the capital back to Luoyang?"

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

  Zhao Ming was speechless for a while, "Then... you agreed?"

  Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly: "The key is not with me, but with Gou Xi."

  Gou Xi will definitely not agree.

Zhao Ming didn't want to agree either. Zhao Hanzhang was far away from the emperor, so the situation could be controlled. It can be seen that most of her thoughts are still on stabilizing Yuzhou and Sizhou and developing the economies of the two places. In the name of Da Jin.

   Once the emperor returns to Luoyang, Zhao Hanzhang will become the "regent". Even if they still want to develop steadily, the situation will not allow it.

Not to mention, just talk about the various regulations and rules that she has added in the past two years. Although she also selects talents recommended by herself or others, the policy of selecting talents has long existed in name only. During the three years she has been in power, Yuzhou I have never held a fixed product banquet;

  Now she employs people, mostly from the recruitment examination.

  She employs people regardless of gender or family background. Once the emperor returns to Luoyang, these matters will inevitably be brought up for repeated games.

   Zhao Ming knew how chaotic the situation would be just by thinking with his toes. Zhao Hanzhang is used to giving orders. Can she accept so many people pointing fingers at her?

  Occasionally when her policy is opposed by them, she will always coax them to agree, but if it is the ministers at the court, will she coax them?

   Zhao Ming knows her best, but she coaxes them because she is willing to coax them. If she is not willing, many people have been hacked to death for opposing the policy in the past two years.

   Otherwise, how could she cancel the policy of atonement with money?

  In the past two years, have there been fewer people sentenced to death for kidnapping refugees, killing people, and invading land?

  She didn't plunder and plunder like other generals, killing riches to get riches, so the people from all over the world praised her full of praise and praised her for her benevolent heart.

But ever since she realized that she has great ambitions, Zhao Ming has noticed that she has a strong personality, acts decisively, and the law is very strict. No, it should be said that she is very strict with her superiors and very lenient with her inferiors. , Cutting flesh with a blunt knife is nothing more than that.

  Although it hurts, the pain is not obvious, and it slows down from time to time. She also gives people candy, so people who are unresponsive will not care.

   Wait until you find out that the knife edge is deadly, and you have no strength to resist, and you may not even have the strength to struggle.

  Now the top and bottom officials of Yuzhou and Sizhou are all appointed by Zhao Hanzhang after reading them one by one. They are of one mind, and even if someone notices it, they will not publicize it.

But the courtiers are different. Everyone has different positions. No matter whether they can detect Zhao Hanzhang’s intentions or not, once they find it painful, or feel that they will not get any benefits, they will definitely object, or want to return to the past. Can you continue to cut slowly with a blunt knife?

  With her temperament, when she gets annoyed, she is afraid that she will use a knife to cut down people like melons.

  So Zhao Ming also disagreed with the emperor moving back to Luoyang. This was not only for the good of Zhao Hanzhang and Yuzhou, but also for the good of the emperor and courtiers.

  He didn't want to see Da Jin bleed again because of internal strife.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The patriarch mentioned that Your Majesty has contacted several generals in the Gou family army in private, and they also have the heart to be loyal to His Majesty. If that is the case, why don't you help the emperor to break away from Gou Xi's control and take charge of it yourself?" What about Yuncheng?"

  Once the emperor has tasted the taste of being the real master of the country, is he still willing to return to Luoyang to be Zhao Hanzhang's puppet emperor?

  Although it is a tactic to delay the attack, and the future troubles are not small, it is better than intensifying the conflict now.

  Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows at Zhao Ming, picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ming, do we have a good understanding?"

  She thought so too.

  New news from Yuncheng came, and Gou Xi was addicted to sensuality again, and he was useless. It's a good thing for her opponent to become unconscious, but Gou Xi is not only her opponent, but also her ally. The biggest rivals between them are Liu Yuan and Shi Le.

  As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

  Liu Yuan and Shi Le are god-like opponents. Originally, Gou Xi was also a god-like ally, but now he has become like a pig. Such an ally has to be changed quickly.

  The emperor can barely be a qualified ally, so she wants to change.

   This is killing two birds with one stone.

   But the operation is too difficult, so she has to take her time.

  Some words cannot be written on the letter in a fair manner, but can only be understood. Otherwise, who knows if the letter will be lost or read by a third person?

  So Zhao Hanzhang first wrote a note to the emperor, saying that she would definitely participate in the summer solstice sacrifice, and then wrote to Zhao Zhongyu, saying that they, as Jin officials, should be anxious about what the king needs.

  Having corresponded with Zhao Hanzhang for two and a half years, Zhao Zhongyu has been able to keep up with her rhythm, and barely has a tacit understanding, so he read her letter over and over again, and vaguely understood her plan.

  She wants the emperor to take away Gou Xi's power.
