In the previous life, Tang Yang was abducted from a chemistry college student to Southeast Asia, experienced all kinds of killings, and finally became a tycoon that shocked the world.
The biggest reason why he can become a hero is that he is willing to listen to the opinions of others.
Dou Yingde knows the Dugu Party better than he does, and Tang Yang must listen to his opinion.
"What two things do I need to do?"
Dou Yingde stroked his long beard and said: "Currently Dugu Bingyu is in power, not only because she controls a hundred thousand Sirius troops, but also because half of the taxes paid by our country every year go to Dugu Bing In the pocket of language!
If you want to get rid of her, you must seize both military and financial power! "
Tang Yang frowned.
The most important things that support a country are money and soldiers.
She alone can get half of the country's total tax collection, no wonder she can make the Sirius Army work for her.
The money in the treasury is needed to support soldiers and officials, but she doesn't need it. It can be said that she is much richer than Tang Yang now.
If Tang Yang could not seize the financial power, he would have no chance of winning.
"Is the chief minister who controls the country's finances hers? If we find a way to replace him, can we solve the financial issues?" Tang Yang asked.
Dou Yingde shook his head: "Your Majesty, Ouyang Mo, the great minister, is indeed a member of Dugu Bingyu, but Ouyang Mo has never embezzled anything to enrich his own pockets. The late emperor investigated her many times, but nothing was found."
Tang Yang was surprised: "The big farmers are not corrupt, so how can they let half of the tax money go to Dugu Bingyu's hands?"
"Your Majesty, this is the brilliance of Dugu Bingyu. She deliberately asked Ouyang Mo to keep herself clean, so that the late emperor would have no reason to replace Da Sinong's position, and they would be able to control Da Sinong's position forever. No one can There is no way to compete with them financially!
And the reason why they can get half of the tax revenue is because they belong to the yamen at all levels!
Officials at all levels took advantage of their positions and through layers of deductions, eventually all the embezzled wealth flowed into the hands of Dugu Bingyu. "Dou Yingde replied.
"Can't we find evidence of their embezzlement?"
Dou Yingde said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, the Dugu Party is covering up each other's fraud, and even the officials who went to investigate were our own people. As a result, the late emperor knew that he was embezzling, but he was unable to solve it!"
As soon as he said this, Tang Yang understood how powerful the Dugu Party was in the Xia Kingdom. It would be extremely difficult to seize financial power through a thorough investigation of corruption.
Dou Yingde also knew that it was extremely difficult to investigate corruption, so he proposed fiscal reform methods to establish a new tax system to replace the original tax model and allow tax revenue to directly enter the national treasury.
In this way, their embezzlement of stolen taxes and money can be solved.
Tang Yang immediately rejected Dou Yingde's suggestion: "Once this method is successful, it is indeed feasible, but my throne is not even hot on my butt. If the interests of those corrupt officials are affected now, it will inevitably cause great resistance. It is difficult to Push it forward.”
"Your Majesty, although this method is risky, it seems to be the only way it can be done for now." Dou Yingde sighed lightly.
"No! There must be other ways." Tang Yang denied again and fell into thinking.
After a while, Tang Yang's eyes lit up: "Since we can't break through their corruption barriers, we will find other ways to quickly gather a large amount of wealth, so that we can compete with Dugu Bingyu financially!"
Dou Yingde showed a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I have thought about this method before. It's just that although most of the methods can earn some money, they are nothing compared to the tax deficit. They cannot be used financially at all." Let’s compete with Dugu Bingyu.”
Regarding Dou Yingde's helplessness, Tang Yang did not think that he was incompetent, but that the current era of Xia Kingdom was still a small-scale peasant society.
The means of acquiring wealth are extremely limited.
It was the limitations of the times that prevented him from thinking of effective methods.
But Dou Yingde is from a small peasant society, but Tang Yang is not!
He comes from modern society and has advanced vision and knowledge reserves that are unmatched by the ancients.
"Dou Aiqing doesn't need to spend time on it. I'll find another way to solve it." Tang Yang gave Dou Yingde a reassuring look.
Dou Yingde was shocked: "Does your Majesty have any idea?"
"Not yet, but there should be a solution soon." Tang Yang replied.
Although many ideas popped into his mind, the situation at hand did not allow him to make mistakes.
He needs to be patient and carefully observe the situation in the entire Xia Kingdom and even the world.
Find the most reasonable method and don't make a hasty decision.
"In addition, I need you to find capable officials to investigate their corruption. Even if a thorough investigation of corruption is difficult to achieve, it must be done! Corrupt officials must not be allowed to go unpunished!
My dear, if you think about it carefully, who in our Daxia country can investigate corruption? "
Dou Yingde looked thoughtful, and for a while he couldn't find a suitable candidate.
At this moment, Eunuch Cao Bao came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Tingwei has come to report that according to your instructions, the world will be amnesty and the prisoners will be released!"
Hearing this, Dou Yingde's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister!"
"Who is it?" Tang Yang also looked happy.
"This man's name is Su Xinting. He is upright and devoted to the people. He never participates in party struggles. He is a rare honest official in the court. But in an officialdom where corrupt officials are the most common, people like him are a thorn in the side. The party organization is imprisoned, and the queen will be executed!
You grant pardon to the world, and he is acquitted!
After this encounter, he should be able to temper his temper and deal with the Dugu Party more intelligently. If he is asked to thoroughly investigate corruption, he will definitely be the best choice for the government. "Dou Yingde replied.
Tang Yang's eyes lit up. It's better to come early than to come by chance!
If there was no such thing as amnesty for the world, he really didn't know that there was such an upright minister in the turbid court.
What a rare animal!
In this case, let him be used as a dead horse and a living horse doctor.
He immediately issued an order: "Inform Official Su Xinting to resume his duties and come to the Imperial Study Room to see me tomorrow!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Dou Yingde said happily.
Regarding financial matters, the method has been decided for now.
As for the matter of military power, it is necessary to seize the military power from their hands in order to weaken them and strengthen themselves.
But both Tang Yang and Dou Yingde knew very well that they must not force this matter, otherwise it would only force them to jump over the wall. Judging from the current situation, they would jump over the wall in a hurry, and Tang Yang's chance of failure was very high.
You need to wait for an opportunity before you can take action!
Just like last night, the appearance of the Dragon God Guard and the rebellion of King Liang gave him the opportunity to obtain the Leopard Forest Guard.
He needs to focus more on finances. As long as he can find another way to make a lot of money, maybe the opportunity to compete for military power will come earlier.
After all, people die for money and birds die for food, and those who serve as soldiers are all for money. As long as they give huge profits, they can surely win many people into his camp.
By then, he will be able to deal more easily with the Dugu Party, the Lin family, princes, kings and enemy countries.
This interview with Dou Yingde was fruitful. It at least pointed out the next path for Tang Yang.
However, before Dou Yingde was about to leave, he still reminded him: "Your Majesty, although the biggest enemy at present is the Dugu Party, the Lin family has never given up. Your imperial concubine Lin Yanran is a member of the Lin family.
If you don't support others to compete with her in the harem, once she becomes the queen, the Lin family's power will expand and become a threat to you!
In addition, if you support others to become imperial concubines, they can also fight against the Queen Mother Xiaoren in the harem! "
Tang Yang's eyes lit up, it was a good idea, but she was the only imperial concubine beside him at the moment, and there was no suitable candidate.
Liu Meier? This girl can be used as a tool, but the imperial concubine is definitely not good!
The princess must find someone who is loyal to him.
It seems that we have to accept a new concubine!
"I will consider this matter, go back!"
"Here!"
After Dou Yingde resigned, Eunuch Cao Bao came forward again to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Lin has sent you Dabu Decoction again."
Tang Yang looked outside and saw Lin Yanran's palace maid arriving again.
Those broken shoes are really impatient!
Even though the Lin family is a threat to him, he still has to enjoy what he should enjoy!
In order to punish the broken shoes well at night, Tang Yang drank the big tonic soup she sent in one gulp.
That Dabu Decoction was really powerful. As soon as he arrived at Lin Yanran's bedroom, Tang Yang felt hot in his lower abdomen.
The huge palace was brightly lit, but there was not even a shadow of a person.
While Tang Yang was searching, a strange fragrance suddenly came. When Tang Yang looked back, Lin Yanran appeared behind him at some point.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
She was dressed in tulle, her breasts were looming, her peach blossom eyes, and her voice that made a man's bones tremble, were simply heart-stirring.
As she spoke, she licked her red lips and said with all her confusion: "Your Majesty, come here quickly, I have missed you for a long time."
Tang Yang was already interested in these worn-out shoes, not to mention drinking the Dabu Decoction. He instantly felt that his blood was on fire.
He didn't have that much patience, he just wanted to execute her on the spot as soon as possible.
It pounced on him like a hungry wolf pounced on its food.
However, Lin Yanran's figure flashed out of the way, making Tang Yang jump away and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, come after my concubine!"
These shabby shoes were really disobedient. Tang Yang felt scratched in his heart and immediately chased after him.
