In the majestic and majestic Palace of Qinzheng of the Far East Empire, Emperor Chen Ziang is listening to reports from various ministries.
The various provinces and counties of the Far Eastern Empire have recovered from the messy situation after the war by implementing the New Deal.
? Especially the Jiangnan Province, Dongjiang Province and Yunshan Province, etc., had fertile land in the first place, and the Qinghe Army ruled them early.
Therefore, the economic and commercial activities in these provinces are the most active areas, and the summer and autumn grains have also achieved a large harvest.
Except for the remote provinces in the west, most of the remaining provinces have also recovered well. In particular, the Far East Empire abolished a series of exorbitant taxes and encouraged farming and trade, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people.
Now the originally abandoned cultivated land in various places has been replanted with food, and the area of ??newly reclaimed land in various provinces of the Far Eastern Empire has also greatly increased.
Especially in the northern Yunzhong Province, Daling Province and other places, the border troops stationed there have carried out large-scale reclamation and training activities.
Now the grain produced in the garrison's reclamation area can meet the ration needs of nearly half of the garrison, except for meat, of course.
Chen Ziang felt that as long as they were given another one or two years, the troops stationed on the northern border would be able to achieve self-sufficiency in rations.
In addition to the restoration of planting in various provinces, the roads in the empire have also been repaired and widened again.
Under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry of the Empire, the Far East Empire has completed the construction of two main roads.
One of the two main roads starts from the imperial capital and passes through Gyeonggi Province, Qinghe Province, Nanchuan Province, and Western Province.
This road is widened and compacted on the basis of the previous road, and it is made of the latest cement, which will be stronger and more durable.
There is also a main road starting from the imperial capital, all the way to the north to Pingyang Province, Wuyuan Province, and the south is connected to the Hexi Province, Luyang Province, and Jiangbei Province, all the way to the north bank of the Dongjiang River.
The construction of these two main roads has greatly facilitated the exchanges and business activities of various provinces and counties along the way.
In particular, the Far East Empire is actively encouraging commerce and trade, so those low-status traffickers and pawns in the past have turned into wealthy people.
After these people tasted the sweetness, they also actively participated in business activities and continued to expand the scale.
40% of the fiscal revenue of the Far East Empire comes from commercial revenue. With the further development of commercial activities, Chen Ziang believes that commercial taxation will contribute 90% of fiscal revenue.
Now the agriculture, animal husbandry, breeding, fishery, service industry and manufacturing industry in the Far East Empire are also booming.
The entire territory of the Far East Empire is full of vitality, and everyone is full of energy.
"After this month's Jinyiwei inspection and self-inspection by various ministries, all provinces and counties have arrested 1,321 corrupt officials above rank nine."
"Now all these people have been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. Once verified, they will be dealt with severely in accordance with the laws of the empire."
? Miao Cai, the rotating chief of the General Affairs Office, also reported on the corruption issue that Chen Ziang was most concerned about.
In the first round of inspections in various provinces and counties of the empire, more than a thousand corrupt officials were arrested. This shocking number still surprised Chen Ziang.
However, in view of the fact that a considerable number of officials in various provinces and counties are retained by officials from the previous dynasty, he was relieved.
After all, the bureaucratic system of the previous dynasty has been rotten to the root, and these people have been greatly affected. Seeing that the world is peaceful, the continued corruption and pleasure are also expected.
It's just that they didn't expect that the imperial court would be so serious and make great efforts to catch this matter.
Except for some officials who stayed in the previous dynasty who continued to make money and were found out, a considerable number of officials were from the Qinghe Army.
Although these people did not fight on the battlefield at the beginning, they also made a lot of contributions silently in the rear. Many of them sat in one side and became the emperor of the earth.
This time, the strict investigation by the imperial court resulted in the arrest of these meritorious persons, which naturally caused quite a disturbance.
Although public opinion is extremely unfavorable to the imperial court, it is said that the imperial court is crossing the river and demolishing bridges and killing heroes indiscriminately.
However, Chen Ziang was not deterred by the pressure of these public opinions. Instead, he insisted on a serious investigation and did not withdraw from the Jinyiwei inspection team.
Some veteran veterans who were uneasy before are still waiting to see the situation. Seeing that the court is not publicMoved by the government, they insisted on investigating and punishing corrupt officials, and some smart people were soon relieved.
If the imperial court really targeted these veteran generals like them, in the face of the rumors flying all over the sky, the imperial court probably would have withdrawn the Jinyiwei inspection team long ago to prevent chaos.
Now the imperial court has not withdrawn the inspection team of Jinyiwei, but is under pressure to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials with great fanfare.
? Especially for those big officials in frontiers and important border generals, they are naturally not ordinary people who can sit in high positions.
The initial rumors shocked them a lot, but after seeing a series of actions by the court, they felt more at ease. Instead, they cooperated with the court to investigate and deal with some moths, which can be regarded as a statement.
Some people are not influenced by rumors and public opinion, but some people are influenced by rumors.
Especially those who sit in one side and rely on the power in their hands to do evil, face the inspection team of Jinyiwei, and naturally feel guilty.
They also followed the rumors spread by the Hanhai people, spreading everywhere that the imperial court dealt with veteran generals in the name of punishing corruption.
Their purpose of these rumors is only one, and that is to hope that all the meritorious generals will unite to put pressure on the court to make the court give up such actions in order to protect themselves.
In the beginning, it did cause a lot of public opinion pressure on the imperial court, but the imperial court withstood the pressure.
? Those veteran generals who held great power also saw the situation clearly, and instead of being moved by the rumors, they actively assisted the court with their ears, which naturally made these corrupt people panic.
Some timid and fearful people voluntarily surrendered themselves, hoping to be dealt with leniently.
There are also some bold and reckless ones who are actively destroying evidence. Seeing that the paper can no longer contain the fire, some people have abandoned their officials and absconded.
Some people who held a certain amount of troops in their hands were unwilling to give up their power, and coupled with the persuasion of some spies from hostile forces, they blatantly played the so-called banner of the Qing emperor's side to oppose the imperial court.
However, the lives of the people in the Far Eastern Empire are constantly improving, and they trust the imperial court.
In the face of these rebels who played against the banner of the imperial court, the common people were suspicious of them and did not actively cooperate with them.
Therefore, the field troops of the Far East Empire did not take any action, and the security banners stationed in various provinces easily wiped out these rebels who openly resisted the imperial court.
In a short period of one month, there were open rebellions in Lingnan Province, Western Province, Daning Province, Gyeonggi Province, Baishan Province, Eastern Province and other places.
However, except for the participation of regular field troops in the eastern province of Baimaguan, the rest were some local security forces or some unwitting militias who were coerced into participating and were quickly suppressed.
What worries Chen Ziang most now is the situation of Baima Pass in the eastern province, because the latest Flying Pigeon Pass report from the Intelligence Investigation Institute says that Baima Pass has been controlled by the rebels, and the life and death of the army leader Wang Cheng is unknown.
In fact, due to the time difference, Chen Ziang didn't know that Zhang Bao, the deputy commander of the army, had solved the rebel incident at Baima Pass.
Now Baima Pass is facing another crisis, that is, Hanhai Army has openly launched a large-scale attack on Baima Pass. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
