I’m The King

In an unknown small courtyard beside Dayan Lake, Wang Jian and Gao Yuan formally signed an agreement, clarifying the relationship between the two parties, and Dahan also officially had his first vassal state. So far, the most important task for both parties has been completed. For the next bilateral cooperation, the subordinates brought by Wang Jian naturally negotiated with Gao Yuan’s subordinates. Wang Jian happily pretended to be Gao Yuan’s entourage, and followed Gao Yuan to start a formal inspection of Dayan County. For Wang Jianlai It is said that the current big man has always been a great impact on him, whether it is the development of the Han country or the concept of the people of the big Han.

He saw the infinite support of the people in Dayan County for Gaoyuan. That kind of respect from the heart made Wang Jian's heart tremble, but at the same time, he also observed that the people here did not have any special fear of officials. On the contrary, the officials somewhat deliberately flattered ordinary people. At least in Wang Jian’s opinion, he met the high-level councillors, and one of them, Wang Jian, recognized that it was in the former Qi State that was in power for a while. Tian Yuanyuan, in a small-scale exchange, this big congressman publicly refuted the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Capital Protector Protected Sun Xiao. He greatly squandered some of his policies, but Sun Xiao always smiled. Stopped to explain to the members present, and the height of the seat was obviously on a centered position, and Sun Xiao was not favored because Sun Xiao was under his confidant.

This makes Wang Jian very uncomprehending. If the big man is like this everywhere, then how can the authority of the government survive? How can one graze one party and govern the world?

Wang Jian saw the latest issue of the Dahan Weekly, and from there he saw the big case about Liaolin County. This is a case that shocked Dahan. The county guard Mao Dewang was removed from his post and transferred to the former post of the Third Military Region. This was in Dahan. The imperial court is an out-and-out relegation. Hundreds of officials from the three counties of Liaodong were lost because of this. What shocked Wang Jian was that Mutu, the hero who exposed this major case, was eventually sentenced to death by the circuit court sent by the Han court to the three counties of Liaodong, and the dozen or so leaders who followed Mutu to initiate the riots were also sentenced to death. He was sentenced one by one to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from ten to twenty years.

There are too many things that Wang Jian does not understand, and there are so many ideas that are contrary to Wang Jian's rule of the country and the world. According to Wang Jian's cognition, such a country should be in chaos, and it is the right thing to be on the verge of collapse, but the fact is that the country's national strength is thriving, and the displayed strength is beyond the reach of the dust.

He sent someone to collect every issue of the Dahan Weekly from the date of publication, and collected various laws and regulations issued by Dahan, and he was going to take these things back to study them. Keeping its essence and leaving the dross in the end, Wang Jian considers himself a good scholar who is not worried about learning from the strengths of others, and over time, he will definitely create a world that is no less inferior to the big man.

Ten days later, Gao Yuan ended his inspection of Dayan County, and Wang Jia set off and returned all the way back. Will pass through Liaoxi, to Hejian. After taking a detour from Yuyang to Qianzhao Di, and then returning to Jiyang, Wang Jian's trip can be considered as a successful conclusion.

After leaving Gaoyuan, Wang Jian returned to the post house where he lived, and Huang Xiao, who was in charge of specific negotiations, was also waiting for him exhaustedly.

"Thanks." Looking at Huang Xiao who had almost lost weight, Wang cut.

"This is the subordinate's duty." Huang Xiao said: "It's just a general, these Han people are too treacherous. Even a word must be carefully picked, even a copper plate must be caressed, it is really speechless."

"This is the characteristic of Dahan!" Wang Jian smiled: "Two days ago, I followed Gao Yuan to a meeting of assemblymen in Dayan County. Do you know what I saw? Their assemblymen were in front of Sun Xiao. Directly questioned Sun Xiao’s Dongduhufu's expenditure on entertaining guests in the first half of the year, which far exceeded the budget."

"How do these councillors know about Sun Xiao's expenses for entertaining guests?" Huang Xiaoqi said.

"Because every quarter, the government's expenditures must be published on a list, and any member of the Council has the right to ask for an audit." Wang cut and said: "How about it, it's very strange? And the excess part was originally. The expenses spent on Gao Yuan’s visit this time were not included in last year’s budget. Gao Yuan’s visit was made temporarily because of our visit."

"Why don't it end? Sun Xiao didn't put it in his own pocket or ate his own big fish and meat in his stomach!" Huang Xiao said.

"That's the problem. Some members, especially Tian Yuanyuan, said in front of a lofty face that if there is no budget, there should be no expenditure. The king's trip will cost a lot, and it will inevitably be run by the Dayan County government next year. Brings a big dilemma. Guess how it was solved in the end?"

Huang Xiao really felt a little unbelievable. It was Wang Tu who came to Dayan County from afar. The officials of Dayan County should be excited about Mo Ming. Why did they spend their money on the accountant?

"Finally, Gao Yuan promised that this time the expenses will be solved by his personal payment." Wang Jian stared at Huang Xiao and said.

Huang Xiao opened his mouth wide, and couldn't turn his mind. "Han Wang paid privately? The whole man was paid by him. He paid, and in the end it was not paid by the treasury. Isn't this putting the money in the left hand into the right hand?"

"Otherwise!" Wang Jian pulled out one of the specially selected newspapers in the room. "Look at an anecdote published in this newspaper. It was Gao Yuan's claim against his Minister of Finance. His salary was unsuccessful, and he chased after him in anger, but he has not yet hit it.

Huang Xiao read the ten lines at a glance, unable to laugh or cry: "This, this is really a big joke."

"This is not a joke!" Wang Jian sighed: "Gaoyuan is indeed a sage I have never seen before, so if there is a day high, Daqin will never turn around. You understand now, why should I say Should we take the courage and use one generation or even several generations to work hard to become stronger?"

"Or it's just Gao Yuan's show." Huang Xiao thought for a while, and said: "Maybe Tian Yuan Yuan will turn his head and he will be unlucky. He is not clean at first, and now he dares to sweep the Han King's face like this, even if Gao Yuan is a saint Jun, I don’t think I am disgusted, but I’m afraid there are some people below who will help King Han to clean him up."

"You are wrong again." Wang Jian sighed: "Gao Yuan also specially introduced Tian Yuanyuan to me, claiming that he is the most popular candidate for the next Dayan County Guard. You know how the next Dayan County Guardian was selected. Is it true? It was elected by the members of Dayan County, and those members were elected by all the people of Dayan County with one vote, one vote. Every man and woman over the age of sixteen has the right to one vote."

"The chief of a county is also elected like this? So where is the power of Gao Yuan, the king? How can he control these local officials?" Huang Xiao changed color. "The central government cannot effectively control local officials. Isn't it the beginning of disaster?"

"I don't understand, but at least it seems that Dahan does not have this problem. I also asked Gao Yuan. This kind of election of county guards is also in the trial. As a whole Dahan, only no more than ten counties adopt it in the first batch. This method is based on the old foundation when Gaoyuan started. The other places are still appointed by the central government. But I think Gaoyuan means it will be gradually expanded. We have been in Dayan County for so long. , You should have heard that their first assistant in this term is also elected by the parliamentarians!"

"I heard. Yan Shenghao and Wu Qi fought, and in the end Yan Shenghao narrowly won."

"I wondered if Gao Yuan wanted to pursue the pre-historic policy of imaginary monarchy, but what good would it do for him? Could it be that a founding monarch like him was actually willing to be emptied by his subordinates. Is it a wood-carved clay sculpture high above?" Wang cut.

"Not at all, at least the military power is still in his hands."

"Yes, this is the only right that Gao Yuan still holds in his hands. Others. The Zhengshitang is in charge of him. However, Zhengshitang has raised the election of the Congress. Forget it, let’s not talk about it. There are too many big guys. What we don’t understand, after we go back, let’s study it slowly. How did you talk about it?"

"They gave everything. According to the procurement catalog given to us by Hanwang, the director of the military industry agreed to meet the supply. But the price was a bit high. The first batch of purchases alone was as high as 5 million yuan according to their original estimate. Five million taels of silver. Where can we get it?" Huang Xiao said in distress.

"So much?" Wang Jian was startled. "How much do you want?"

"I calculated it based on the replacement of 50,000 people." Huang Xiao said: "General, if you build an elite of about 20,000 and a standing army of about 30,000, this is the lowest number, and the rest are the ones you mentioned. I did not count those purchased by the owners themselves."

"In the past few years, we have been exhausted, and we have only accumulated three million taels in the warehouse. The black-clothed food invasion of the battle, the consumption plus the post-war pensions, the one million taels are gone, we Where can I find so much money? Can I owe part of it first?" Wang cut.

"Gao Quan told me that if you don’t have money, you can borrow from their central bank, but once the interest was calculated, I was shocked again. I was planning to pay 1 million taels in advance, and the remaining 4 million taels. It is paid in installments, but it can be calculated according to their interest. According to our financial income, I am afraid that it will never be paid off. When we can, we will buy weapons from them. Many of these weapons are consumables, if not The invasion of the black food is imminent, I really want to leave."

"Is there no other compromise?" Wang Jian also kept shaking his head: "For example, lowering the interest rate?"

"That Gao Quan said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is already the lowest interest rate. General, there is really no way. After we go back, we can only think about taxes on top of taxes. Let's increase taxes, as long as they are refunded. If we eat them in black, we will not need so many weapons in the future. We can always ease our strength." Huang Xiao sighed.

"If there is no other way, it can only be so." There is only this way that Wang Jian can think of.

There was a knock on the door, and a guard walked in and reported to Wang Jian: "General, there is a businessman outside. He claims to be a rider and wants to meet the general."

"A businessman? Where can the general see him and send him away." Huang Xiaozheng was out of anger. He was immediately annoyed when a businessman came to visit.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Jian stopped: "Huang Xiao, I came to Dayan County to keep it secret. There are not many people who know it. Don't you think it's strange that a businessman can know it? I'm afraid this businessman is not simple. Let him in, I will see him." (To be continued.)
