Chapter 165： Control public opinion and guide business

After several of them figured out what to do with the newspaper, Yanli then said solemnly: "In this way, this newspaper is called" Daiyun Daily "and Yuen Long is the editor-in-chief, and the other four are each the editor-in-chief of a section. At the same time, the Printing Department of the Ministry of Industry will be merged into the newly established Department of Information. Also, will the Department of Information first be attached to the Ministry of Industry. As for the grade? The editor-in-chief leads the fourth-grade official position, and the editor-in-chief leads the fifth-grade official position. "

When the five of Yuen Long heard it, they were stunned for a while, and then their faces were full of surprises. They were originally Jiupin officials. They didn't expect that they would even rise to level 4 or 5 in a blink of an eye. thing.

"What are you doing, don't hurry up!" Wang Yuanzhi on the side reminded.

"Xie Huang Taisun!" The five people woke up like dreams and hurriedly bowed down.

Later, Yanli discussed some details with the five people and passed on some experience to them before letting them go.

The five in Yuen Long did not disappoint Yan Li. In just three days, a brand new newspaper appeared on his desk. However, the content inside was a bit monotonous, but this is also inevitable. After all, they have just been in touch. It's good to do this.

"Daiyun Day Edition" is divided into three major sections, the first is the state edition, which mainly introduces the empire policy and the like, and the second is the entertainment edition, this section tells some lace news of the officials of the DPRK and what happened inside and outside the Imperial City Some interesting things.

The third section is a gossip version, which mainly serializes some novels and jokes.

The newspaper first printed 50,000 copies, because the printing side could not support 500,000 copies printed in Japan. Only after the printing department expanded the scale, it could increase the printing volume.

In order to develop the habit of people reading newspapers, Yan Li decided to give away newspapers for free the previous month.

After being affirmed by Emperor Taisun, the five in Yuen Long breathed a sigh of relief, and then arranged for a large number of newspaper boys to send newspapers to the streets.

In less than two hours, 10,000 newspapers were completely sent out.

For new things, no matter where they are, they feel very fresh.

The people who recognized the words all took a newspaper and looked at it with relish, and found that there were three major events recorded in this newspaper. The event of the establishment of Dayun Daily, the first lecture, will be launched every day since today. A newspaper that repays the most recent news events in Dayun.

The second thing is that Yan Li was told to be the emperor's grandson and married.

The third thing is to tell the empire that the national tax will be exempted.

The Tianhuang Continent, because the world is full of vitality, and the crops are growing well, so there are few people who ca n’t afford to eat, especially the Great Cloud Kingdom, which is the richest of the three empires.

Therefore, the taxes levied are also quite heavy. The first is the head tax, and every citizen pays a silver to the empire every year, and the second is the commercial tax.

Because the big cloud empire is still dominated by agriculture, the state does not encourage business very much, because business taxes are relatively heavy, at 30% of monthly income.

Yanli from the earth knows how important business is to a country, and the accelerated development of business, then the people will become more affluent, the people will become richer, and the empire will naturally become stronger and stronger.

For commercial tax, Yanli directly lowered it to 20 percent, and encouraged the nationals to do business. At the beginning, all six ministers were very opposed to reducing taxes.

After all, after-tax is the foundation of the country, and now it is directly reduced by 10%. Isn't the income of the empire greatly reduced?

And Yanli only said, "If there are only 10,000 shops above and below the empire, each time the empire draws 30% of the tax, but because of the reduction in taxes, the empire has increased by 20,000 more, or 30,000. , Tax is collected at 20%, which one has more tax? "

The decrease in business tax has increased tens of thousands of shops in just one month. Although the tax is not as much as 30%, Yanli believes that this is only temporary and will increase in the future.

The benefits of tax cuts are not only the increase of shops, but also the spread of Yanli Emperor Taisun's reputation in the empire. Many merchants have placed a longevity card in their homes to worship.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed since Yan left Emperor Taisun Jianguo, and his emperor's reputation gradually spread throughout the Great Cloud Empire.

"See Emperor Taisun!"

"Dongliu, get up!"

Yan Li looked at Fan Dongliu who was kneeling on the ground and was a lot of thin and haggard. He couldn't help but feel moved. In the past six months, in order to establish Jin Yiwei, he spent almost all his time on official duties and had little rest time.

Of course, the effect is also obvious. Although the spies of Jinyiwei have not been developed all over the country, there are secret information stations established by Jinyiwei in more than 2,000 counties in 72 provinces.

As the so-called new official took office in three fires, on the surface, everyone cooperated very well with him as the emperor's grandson, but in fact, he did not even control one-tenth of the empire's rights.

But after the establishment of Jinyiwei, it was different. They all became his eyes, and they could pass all the news inside the empire to his desk.

Therefore, in the middle of this month, he ordered more than 50 officials to decapitate, and as many as hundreds of officials were removed from office and jailed.

Because of the vast territory of the empire, this resulted in the city owners in many places acting independently and making huge profits for themselves as officials.

Corruption is inevitable no matter what age.

Relatively speaking, the empire officials ’salaries are not bad, but they are just good. Therefore, after executing many officials, they made another decree, and the salaries of all the officials in the country doubled.

It's not enough to use force blindly. Therefore, Yanli takes the strategy of hitting a stick to a sweet jujube. Freezing three feet is not a cold day. He wants to change the entire empire, so he must take it slowly, not overnight. Achievable.

"Yes!"

Fan Dongliu slowly got up, and then handed a fold into Yanli's hand.

Unfolding the fold, Yanli could n’t help but look cold, this is a fold about the Holy Gate, because in this world, the Great Qin State and the Barbaric State and the Great Cloud State are in a truce, so the Holy Scripture that should have broken out before May The door did not break out.

And still preparing in secret, and arrogantly attracting some officials.

Zhezi You have recorded a list of officials, most of them are officials at the county magistrate level, and a small number are county guards and generals.

Fan Dongliu did not speak, but waited quietly for Yan Li's order.

Gently put down the fold, Yanli's brows were tight together. It was only a while ago that he killed a group of officials. Today, there are thousands of officials, large and small, colluding with the Holy Gate.

If all of them are caught and killed, it will inevitably cause chaos in the officialdom. At the same time, they will be killed, and not so many officials have sent them.

"Don't move them for now! But watch closely!"

"Yes!"

"Well, you go down! Remember to rest, although official business is important, in this palace, talent is the most important!"

"Yes! Your subordinates remember!"

Fan Dongliu focused on his head, his eyes were a little wet, and he turned away.

Rubbing his head, Yan Li felt a little tired, not from the body, but from the psychology. For the past six months, he had to deal with things every day, and he also had to set up a new development route for Dayun Kingdom.

Now, the matter of the Holy Door has been put together, and the thought of colluding with the officials of the Holy Door is cold in his heart.

"What should I do?"

He frowned, and suddenly, he patted his forehead excitedly, "Why am I so stupid?"

The way that Yan Li thought of was to report the world's big exams. However, the Tianhuang Continent puts a heavy emphasis on the text, so it can't copy the test system of the earth's feudal dynasty. It must be changed.

It took several hours for Yanli to combine the scientific examination system on the earth with the status quo of the Tianhuang Continent, and developed an examination system. If the scientific examination is divided into ten, then Wu takes six points, the text takes three points, and the strategy accounts for one cent.

At the same time, according to Yanli's plan, the scientific examination is divided into three levels. The first level is created by the county, and those who pass the first level can participate in the second level test held by the province.

The third pass is held in the Imperial City, and all candidates who pass the three pass exams can be awarded the title of "jinshi" by the empire, and they are officials for the seventh grade.

However, these are Yanli's initial ideas, and specific implementation must be arranged by a trusted person.

Naturally, he thought of Jiangshu Longshang, the military secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs. During the past six months under his supervision of the country, Jianglong was the biggest supporter. Secondly, Wang Yuanzhi also unswervingly executed his orders.

As for the four members of the Lishang Shangshu Situ Guang, the Penal Department Shangshu Yuwentian, the Libe Shangshu Qin Guo Congee, and the Hube Shangshu Dongfang Stone, the surface is respectful and polite to him, but in the dark, he often opposes him, typical Yang feng yin violates.

Suddenly, Yan Li realized a problem he almost ignored. The main purpose of the scientific expedition was to select a large number of talents for the empire.

But in the Great Cloud Kingdom, at least one-third of the empire's officials came from the eight major families, and eighty-nine of the remaining twenty-thirds came from some small families. As for the last point, it was from the folk.

Therefore, no matter in the official field or in the military, the children of the family occupy the main position. If the world exam is held, although it will be supported by the children of the cold family, it will damage the interests of the family. Thinking of this, Yanli cannot help but has some headaches.

In the end, he planned to summon Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuan to hear what they thought?

After half an hour, Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuan arrived directly.

After seeing the ceremony, Yanli asked the **** to move the stool to let them sit down, and then began to speak out the idea of ​​the scientific expedition.

No matter Jiang Longxiang or Wang Yuanzhi is brilliant, the idea of ​​hearing Yan Li's eyes is bright, but then he realizes that although this world exam can absorb a large number of talents, it will harm the interests of the family.

Jiang Longxiang is the head of the Jiang family, and Wang Yuanzhi is the head of the Wang family. Although they are the heads of the family, you ca n’t do everything in the family, and behind them there is an elder group that restricts their rights.

That's why they understand that if they want to hold a big exam, the resistance will be great. Although Dayun will hold a martial arts exam every year, the so-called martial arts exams are all operated by major families. You are not eligible to participate.

Looking at the silent duo, Yan Li felt a little angry in his heart, but soon relieved, "How do the two Ai Qings feel?"

Jiang Longxiang and Wang Yuanzhi both smiled bitterly. Huang Taisun wanted them to express their opinions. Now, they have come to an opportunity to face choices. Either, they should abandon the interests of the family and support him vigorously.

These two choices are extremely difficult. The family has cultivated them. Without the support of the family, they cannot go to this step. Therefore, they really feel very difficult to harm the interests of the family.
