102 Courage
Talent is scarce!
It was rare for Wu Yue to have such a sigh.
Luqiu, Mo Fei and others formulated the development plan of the state for the next five or even ten years. With the reform of the official system and the subdivision of functions, the court's demand for talents is also increasing. However, the knowledge penetration rate in this era is low, and Mo Fei's intention to advocate policies such as imperial examinations cannot be implemented. Only on the basis of self-recommendation and recommendation, a unified assessment can be added to select qualified talents as much as possible.
As a result, Mo Fei made use of the catalogue of "Siku Quanshu" to attract all talents to Rong Zhen as his first choice. When the court issued a notice to recruit talents, scholars all over the country were boiling.
At the next time, Murphy's population and land census of Guxi was coming to an end, and only the officials and clans did not make statistics. What Murphy meant was, let these people take the initiative to announce their own land occupation, so as not to cause conflicts in the investigation.
As the capital of the state of Soo, Guxi is a place where the rich and powerful gather. The eunuchs’ homes are mostly famous gentry families. Generally, small officials do not dare to offend, and they even make investigations. Therefore, Murphy's move was to accommodate and make concessions to the bureaucrats and to respect their status. Unfortunately, it was still not understood, which caused great dissatisfaction among the people.
"Lord Futu, since you entered the dynasty, you have made drastic reforms and regarded the ancestral system as nothing, and now you want me to announce the property. What do you want to do?"
After the early dynasty, everyone gathered in Mingzheng Garden, and the minister ordered Guo Huai to attack Mo Fei first.
"Don't get me wrong, my lords, the population and property is a national census, and every household, regardless of rank, needs to file a case. The lower officials are not aimed at you."
Zuo Pushe Zhu Ze said: "Really? My property has long been recorded in the library. If the adults are not targeting me, why should I investigate again?"
"That's right." Wu You, the permanent attendant in the middle, said in a high voice, "You are questioning and insulting me by checking and checking again. I will definitely not accept it."
Murphy sat at the table and calmly said: "Wu Changshi may have misunderstood. If the subordinate officer really checked it again and again, he would not ask the adults here for their opinions."
Wu You angrily said: "Are you asking for my opinion? You ask me to wait to announce the property. What's the difference between taking off your clothes in public?"
As soon as these words came out, many officials bowed their heads and coughed.
Wu You probably also knew that his words were not very elegant, and his face remained unchanged: "Since the establishment of our dynasty, there has never been such a precedent. Even the monarch cannot casually question the private property of his subjects."
"It's just land, and there is no need to announce the property." Mo Fei said calmly, "If the rights and properties of the adults have been recorded long ago, why would it be difficult to report it again?"
Who remembers how much was recorded in the original case? Many people have this idea in their minds.
Guo Huai sneered: "I report it again? This time I reported the property, do I have to report the family property next time? What do you think of the noble family? Do you want to flatten and round the clay figurine?"
"Lord Futu should think twice before doing things well. If he is too reckless, it is useless for others and himself." Zhu Ze said in a tone of pleading with the younger generation.
Murphy glanced around for a week and asked cautiously: "So, all of you adults are unwilling to cooperate with the work of the lower officials?"
Most people nodded in succession, saying that this move was unreasonable and violated the system.
"Since that's the case," Murphy said word by word, "then the lower official had to investigate it himself."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and they all exploded.
"Futu, don't deceive people too much!" Guo Huai scolded, "I want to see it, who would dare to help you check?"
Murphy calmly glanced at Oi Han with his eyes closed and rested, his expression was leisurely at the moment, as if everything around him had nothing to do with it. Murphy was sure that this man had placed eyeliners around various nobles a few years ago, and that was how the two princes were killed. Wu Yue ordered him to be the censor of the supervising officials, secretly serving as the general intelligence officer, and almost all the changes in the court were under his control.
Murphy really wanted to check, but it was an easy task.
Picking up the tea on the table, Mo Fei lowered his eyes and asked indifferently, "Are you really sure that your lords are going to let the subordinate go to check it out in person?"
There was a brief silence in the garden.
After a while, Wu You said sharply: "I forgot that this official, Mr. Fu Tu is talented enough to take care of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and the officials at the top and bottom are almost useless. Investigating some property is really a trivial matter."
"Since someone is so powerful, what else does the DPRK need me to do with the old ministers? It's better to resign as a group." Zhu Ze said yin and yang strangely.
"If you lords want to resign, the subordinate will not object." Mo Feifeng glanced at the audience, his eyes were sharp, and no one dared to look at him, "However, after you are sure that you are dismissed, can you spend the rest of your life in peace?"
In this era, the hierarchy is strict, and it is not uncommon for the powerful to deceive the world and domineering. Large swathes of privately occupied fields were not registered, causing huge losses to the court and harming the interests of the common people. Really want to investigate, not many people can escape the guilt.
In times of war, this is unavoidable, but in a peacefully unified country, this ethos cannot be fostered, otherwise it will lose the hearts of the people.
Murphy knew very well that the ruling class had privileges, and this was inevitable for thousands of years. However, everything must have a degree. She has no intention to promote the lack of equality and fairness here, but at least this privilege should be limited to a controllable range, so as to avoid the formation of a growing gap between the rich and the poor.
In the end, it is not a few powerful people who can make the country prosperous, but the millions of hard-working people.
Murphy's toughness caused everyone present to change their faces.
He was a threat from Hong Guoguo, and everyone dared to threaten him with collective dismissal, so he counterattacked with everyone's life. Even if they really have the courage to resign, the court is recruiting a large number of talents at this time, and scholars from all over the country will soon gather in the sect, and the court does not need to worry about those who are unavailable. Compared with the old officials who have been at ease for too long and have not changed their minds, the new young talents are more energetic and ideal, and what they lack is nothing more than experience and prestige.
Besides, with Wu Yue's support, Murphy was not worried about the ministers' rebellion at all. With her reputation and that of other ministers, she couldn't provoke public opinion.
Everyone present looked at each other in dismay, and their faces were very ugly. Probably since they became officials, they had never met someone who was as straightforward as Murphy and dared to challenge authority. The so-called desireless is rigid. He acts diligently, is an honest official, has a pure character, and has almost no blemishes around him, except for his ambiguous relationship with King Soo. But this could not be a weapon to criticize him. First, no one dared to offend Wu Yue, and secondly, Mo Fei was upright and convincing the public with his ability, which made people speechless.
The masculine style of the Sang Kingdom has always been prevalent, and no one dares to look down on Murphy no matter how much the scholars despise him. This is personal charm. When a person's contributions and virtues exceed the standard of mortals, a little flaw can no longer cause him harm, but will be regarded as a good talk.
Guo Huai eased his breath and smirked: "Lord Futu is serious, I'm waiting for the emperor's salary, how can I just give up on political affairs?"
"Yeah, it was just a slip of the tongue just now, I can't do it correctly." Everyone agreed, and at the same time secretly wiped away sweat.
Murphy nodded and said, "Xiaguan knows that you adults have always acted prudently, and will never do such a willful thing."
People are so angry! How can there be such a person in this world who does not play cards according to the rules? Will he be an official?
"I don't know how Lord Futu wants me to announce the property?" Wu You asked twitchingly at the corner of his mouth.
Murphy guessed that at this moment, most people were thinking about how to ravage her to death.
She said calmly: "As much as you report, the subordinate officer will record how much, and we will act accordingly in the future. If there is any excess in the future, then don't blame the subordinate officer for handling it impartially?"
When Lu Qiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face. As the prime minister of a country, he usually rarely speaks, but when he speaks, it means that the strategy has been decided. He could see clearly what had happened just now, and even without his support, Murphy could shock this group of ministers with high self-esteem. Mo Jun's floating map is indeed extraordinary.
Everyone gritted their teeth and thought again and again, and finally had no choice but to compromise. Although Murphy entered the dynasty not long ago, he was very intelligent and full of courage. He had the support of King Soo and several ministers in the dynasty, and he had a great reputation among the people. .
It's just at this moment that some people couldn't help but have killing intent in their hearts.
Ouhan looked at the crowd without any expression, and his eyebrows moved slightly.
At the end of the show, he walked up to Guo Huai and the others, and said unintentionally, "I visited several manors a while ago, and they are really well-decorated, resplendent, with hidden darkrooms, beautiful women, and dazzling treasures. "
Several people's faces turned pale instantly.
Ouhan continued: "It's a pity that Lord Futu doesn't want to experience it, and he has missed a great joy in life. Oh, I wonder how many adults are interested?"
"No, no..." Several people shivered as they spoke.
Huan Han looked forward faintly and sighed, "There are many masters around there, and several adults have distinguished status, so they don't need to worry about their own safety. But with such an incomprehensible temperament of Lord Futu, he may not be able to be safe and sound. What do the adults think?"
Several people said in a trembling voice: "Lord Ouhan is serious, who would dare to harm Lord Futu in the whole country?"
"Really? That's because this official is overthinking it?"
"Overthinking, overthinking, definitely overthinking."
"With the assurances of several adults, this official can rest assured. It should be noted that Your Majesty is so important to Lord Futu. If something happens accidentally, this official is really worried that the court will be stained with blood, which would be too unlucky..." Said Without looking at the expressions of those people, Shi Shiran walked away.
Several people were sweating, looking at the back of Huan Han, they could no longer have any thoughts.
Are all the ministers of King Soo so terrifying?
Under the leadership of the maid, Murphy walked towards the Zhime Palace. Today, she is going to give a lecture to Luo Chen, and she is going to have dinner in the palace.
Walking through a corridor, suddenly felt a strong wind behind me, and then the whole body was picked up by someone and led into a palace.
Everything happened so fast that the inner servant who led the way didn't notice it. It wasn't until he walked a few meters away that the person behind him disappeared...
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Mo Fei knew who it was just by smelling the smell. This man was so presumptuous in the palace.
Being overwhelmed on a couch, Murphy's official uniform was messy, intertwined with Wu Yue's profound robe.
"Gu Du saw it." Wu Yue whispered in her ear, "Young Master Futu is one to ten."
"His Majesty was there at the time?" Murphy tilted his head uncomfortably and asked.
"Well, Gu Yuan thought that he would see a group of cunning foxes deal with a arrogant elk, but who knew that it was a nimble leopard fighting a group of arrogant wolves." Wu Yue said while crossing Murphy's neck with his lips.
Mo Fei trembled slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, Fu Tu will give Luo Chen a lecture in the afternoon..."
"Lecture?" Wu Yue said sharply, "You spent more time with that boy than Gu, and even after being summoned by Gu, you dared to escape! You said, how should Gu punish you?"
Murphy hesitated for a while and said, "Why don't you punish Futu to select talents for His Majesty?"
Wu Yue narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
"Your Majesty..." Murphy was about to speak, when Wu Yue held his lips.
"No, don't..." Murphy tried his best to avoid Wu Yue's kiss, and said helplessly, "Does Your Majesty want to force Futu here?"
Wu Yue said hoarsely, "I just wanted to impose a small punishment, but Futu is too tempting..."
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, probably the inner servant who led the way was looking for Murphy, the missing person.
Wu Yue paused, annoyance flashed in his eyes, and finally let go of her.
Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief in secret, and just got up, he was pulled by Wu Yue and kissed fiercely. At the end, he heard him threaten: "You must stay tonight, or you will not be able to leave the palace for three days in isolation!"
Murphy was silent, under Wu Yue's close gaze, he was unwilling to nod his head in agreement.
Only then did Wu Yue let go of her with satisfaction.
That night, Chongxi Palace once again ushered in a crimson sleepless night.
Wu Yue, who had been suppressed for more than a month, had an unprecedented terrifying staying power.
Obviously, Murphy couldn't get up the next day...
