This imperial meeting had already summarized the issues in the early stage and discussed the results. Even under the impact of the new currency and the Royal Bank, it only lasted two days and ended.
The low-level officials below who had no chance to participate were shocked by the renewed fluctuations in the Tang Dynasty. There were now dozens of officials, large and small, and most of them came from aristocratic families.
Could it be that the humble family is about to rise~?
Some student officials who came from poor families seem to have seen a new dawn.
They expressed strong support for Li Mingda's move and began to write articles and poems praising Li Mingda's sage. At the same time, they also did not forget to criticize the ugly faces behind the aristocratic family and their banks.
In addition to money, the bank relied on reputation. With the spontaneous organization of the people, they began to withstand the storm.
After the matter fermented for a few days, Li Mingda felt that these people were almost frightened by the merchants, officials, and ordinary people who blocked the door of the bank asking for money, so he issued an announcement: All banks cannot refuse depositors to withdraw money for any reason, and they will not They can charge additional fees and remind them that if they declare bankruptcy, Li Mingda will punish them for defrauding money and causing social unrest. They will be punished with penalties ranging from imprisonment to lingchi. At the same time, he also reassures the people that they should not be too anxious during the five-year period. .
Beat them half to death with three sticks, and Li Mingda will give them some life-extending golden sore medicine to keep them alive. Anyway, Li Mingda is not stupid and will not let them escape this debt and spit out what they have eaten over the years. .
You say you want to rebel, okay, go ahead and give it a try. Even if you ask your servants, they won't all follow you to cause trouble. As for finding the garrison.
That general dared to shout: Li Mingda is a foolish king, and the soldiers are raising a banner of righteousness with me...
Before he could even finish his words, he would be picked up by his subordinates and beaten, and then happily escorted to the gendarmerie in exchange for military honors.
I don’t even think about how well Li Mingda treats soldiers now. In ancient times, most rebellions were because they couldn’t survive anymore. Now they have good food, drink, and good treatment. Why would soldiers rebel? You’re kidding.
There are also those who go on strike, and the guards in uniforms from various places will send them to prison as quickly as possible. If there are not enough guards in uniforms, there will be troops stationed in various places, and they will tell them what is the law of the Tang Dynasty and what is the majesty of the Ming Zun Holy Emperor.
What he faced after the failure was the punishment according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the confiscation of family property. In order to make the new currency and the bank proceed smoothly, Li Mingda would not give them a good result.
Those who took the lead in causing trouble were beheaded in public, and their property was fined to pay off debts. If the debts were not enough, their partners would naturally be involved, implicating their entire family.
They would naturally not be reconciled if they could no longer survive. According to Li Mingda's previous policy, believers of the Ming Zun Holy Sect would leave some subsistence property to their families, and would be protected by the government and the Holy Religion.
They cannot become rich even if they cannot starve to death, and they are also prohibited from spending money in luxury industries.
What should I do if I don’t have enough property to repay my debt? This situation occurs because the property is partially damaged when disposed of.
This is another good opportunity to make money. Naturally, Li Mingda will not give them any space to be a worm in these places. Jinyiwei and Mingzun Shengjiao dispatch personnel from Chang'an City to supervise the entire process.
All property will be auctioned to the highest bidder. The seized property will be checked with the parties and their families. Those who lack it or have it stolen will also be punished.
After going back and forth, the borers in a place are almost cleared away.
This situation only occurs in a few places, and most families can cope with it. The banks they open can naturally last for five years of repayment, and the smart ones can even take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Since Zhao Yun served as Li Mingda's personal bodyguard that day, most officials who had never seen him were curious about the upstart. When they heard Zhao Yun's name, they were stunned at first.
Changshan Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong?
Another one?
Some people who did not believe in evil sent people to Changshan to inquire about it. No one found that this person appeared out of thin air, and the first time he appeared was in the palace.
Your Majesty is truly a god!
(⊙??⊙)
Zhao Yun, who participated in the Great Court Meeting for the first time, was also frightened by Li Mingda's vigorous and resolute style. In such a great meeting of a superpower, one-tenth of the participating officials disappeared in a matter of minutes.
No official, big or small, dared to say no, and there were no major disturbances within the court. Officials from all over the country seemed to be accustomed to it. If there was no special arrangement, one of the deputies could be chosen to take over automatically.
The deputy also followed, and the lower-level officials below were promoted. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. It was even said that the lower-level officials were waiting for their superiors to do something extraordinary.
The officials above are also cautious, not daring to follow their own personalities as they did in previous years. If they do something too much and are caught, they will be sent to the Jinyi Guards for interrogation and their lives will be over.
You said I should just hang around and do nothing. If I neglect my duties, I will not get any benefits, and if I delay things, I will not get any better.
So it is true to do things seriously and seriously.
After the meeting, Zhao Yun was lamenting that if Shu had had such a tough and capable monarch as Li Mingda, it might not have been destroyed by Wei.
At the end of the meeting, Li Mingda noticed Zhao Yun's unusual look and asked him, "Zilong, what are you thinking about?"
Zhao Yun: "My lord, I am thinking about what it would be like if my lord were the king of Shu."
Shu?
The land of abundance
“When I’m bored every day, I’ll raise some pandas and walk them around.”
Zhao Yun: "???"
"How about the Kingdom of Shu? The population is not as good as that of Wei and Wu. The only good thing is that there is enough food, good minerals, and natural dangers to guard. What is missing is the foundation to fight for world supremacy. Seven trips out of Qishan cost the last of the Shu Kingdom. But this is also a helpless move. If it doesn’t cause trouble to Lao Cao, Shu will not be able to survive for that long."
"As for the Wu-Shu Alliance, you have ruined your own alliance, and you have no one to blame. Although enemy countries can be cunning, the most basic faith does not exist. How can there be an alliance? Times make heroes, and times also dictate. also"
Zhao Yun listened with rapt attention, but he still didn't understand some of the words. Murong Xue, who was squatting aside and had just made Wu Jui half-dead, explained to him: "The head of our family said that Shu has no credibility and deserves to be like this. If she is the leader of Shu, The boss of the country is 100% just staying at home, eating, drinking, sleeping and guarding the natural danger until the Wei Kingdom comes. If you can hold it, if you can't, just surrender and be done with it. If you surrender, you won't die and continue to eat, drink and have fun."
Li Mingda nodded and praised Murong Xue: "As expected of my confidant, everything he said is true. That's roughly what I meant."
Well, Zhao Yun felt that he really thought too much. After all, Li Mingda was not called the Salted Fish Emperor for nothing.
After the escort mission was over, Zhao Yun resigned. Li Mingda returned to the recliner and lay down like a salted fish. Murong Xue followed and lay beside Li Mingda.
"Gouzi, what should we do with the missing civil and military officials?"
"I organized a group of talents a few years ago to make up for it."
"Hey, you've got everything ready."
"It's necessary, but it's a pity that there are so many people preparing for it."
"..."
