Chapter 357 Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is back
Now that Wu Yong has agreed, there will be no more resistance to the next reform.
"Since the Grand Master agrees with my opinion, in this way, I will leave the school affairs to you."
Wu Yong nodded and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty, but the new school must have materials and textbooks, and someone needs to understand natural technology."
Wu Tian had already thought of this.
He smiled slightly and said, "I have ordered Brother Tang Long to train materials and teaching talents. Wherever you go, say it to Brother Tang Long one by one, and say it was what I said. If you choose a new school teacher, he will know what to do."
Wu Yong nodded and left.
Soon, the new school opened, but not many people were willing to come and learn it.
Wu Tian looked at this phenomenon and frowned slightly, then disguised himself as a scholar.
During the conversation with them, I learned that these scholars were thinking about becoming officials and were not interested in learning natural sciences at all.
At most, when learning these things, you have the same skills as craftsmen. Compared with being an official and glorious ancestor, it is simply not worth mentioning.
After learning about the scholar's thoughts, Wu Tian returned to the palace and issued two edicts overnight.
An edict says that anyone who has learned natural technology in the new school will be granted an official position according to the contributions and years of his/her contributions and years on the railway, and can reach the first rank.
Another edict is that the candidates for enrollment in the new school are not limited to scholars. Anyone who is over 18 years old and who is willing to serve the court can enter the new school to study, and all the expenses will be borne by the court.
As soon as these two edicts were released, the entire Liang Kingdom was in a turmoil. Those who had previously disdained the new school were now thrust into the new school.
Those farmers who were originally living at the bottom of their lives and over 18 years old, when they heard the news, they immediately saw hope and signed up enthusiastically.
However, because there are only a hundred teaching talents, it cannot satisfy the tens of millions of students from the Liang State.
Finally, from thousands of people, three thousand people were selected from all aspects to study in the new school.
However, the further down the road, the number of people entering the new school increased year by year, and finally exceeded one million.
Since then, the Liang State has complete economic development system.
In order to ensure that this system can continue to operate smoothly and healthily, Wu Tian is determined to reform the administration.
If any good system does not have a corresponding monitoring system, it is prone to loopholes in decades and gives people a chance to find a way to get a hole.
The current bureaucratic system of Liang State is almost copied from the Song Empire, and it can be said that there is no new meaning.
In order to maintain excessive stability in Liang State, there was no correction to some potential matters.
The biggest problem in the old bureaucratic system was that the clan mastered the important position of the court.
In Liang, most of the Liangshan series officials account for the first and second ranks.
However, not every official position is in charge, such as the Taishi, which is an honorary official position.
The Prime Minister was the one who held real power in Wu Yong.
Among the third and fourth rank official positions, the number of people in the Liangshan clan is not as large as that of the Liang State.
For example, the Li family in Tokyo occupied nearly half of the third-rank officials, most of whom were in charge of the Liang Kingdom and the Imperial Merchants.
After Wutian established the money house, the Li family seemed to have not come out to object, but secretly colluded with private money houses or even underground money houses to compete with Wutian's money house merchants for interests.
The Xu family in Tokyo mainly occupies the fourth-rank official and is in charge of iron ore.
The iron ore on Liang State’s books is far lower than the reality, and the Xu family relies on this reselling iron ore to make profits for illegal private merchants.
These families rely on their deep network of relationships in Tokyo to fight against the Liang court openly and secretly and seek huge profits.
Before Wu Tian was attacking Liao and Japanese, he did not have much energy to manage them.
Later, because of their rush to develop the Liang State economy, they turned a blind eye to them.
Now, the economic development of Liang State has returned to normal, far exceeding the strength of the clan, and Wu Tian decided to take action.
That day, Wu Tianxia ordered the heads of the powerful clans Li family, Xu family and Wang family in Tokyo to attend the palace for a banquet.
When the three masters heard that the Emperor of Liang invited them to the banquet, they were so happy that they changed into clothes and went to the palace.
After entering the hall, the three masters felt something was wrong.
He said he was invited to the banquet, but there was nothing in the court.
Just when the three masters were confused, many soldiers suddenly rushed in outside the door and surrounded them.
"What are you doing?"
The three masters were surprised and called out loudly.
Wu Tian walked into the court.
When the three masters saw Wu Tian, they hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistakes I have made. How will Your Majesty deceive me and wait for me?"
Wu Tian stared at the three masters and sneered: "You still dare to ask me. Over the years, you have gained your personal pockets and embezzled Liang Kingdom how much money you have lost? Do you know what you have done?"
The three masters looked at each other, and the next moment they seemed to understand that Wu Tian was going to deal with their clan!
"The Li family colluded with private money houses to fight me, and the Xu family secretly sold iron ore to make huge profits. As for your Wang family, they actually had secretly interacted with Japan and sold the information of Liang State. You are all damn people who sell national interests. In the past, I couldn't let go of my hands because of state affairs. Now that Liang State is booming, I will never allow your clan to interfere with my grand achievements."
The three masters lowered their heads and said nothing.
"But don't worry, I am not a bloodthirsty person. Killing you and exiling your family is for the sake of the relationship between our monarch and minister, and I will leave it to you."
After saying that, Wu Tian waved his hand and the three masters were pushed out to kill him.
Afterwards, Dong Ping led the Imperial Guards to quickly surround the Li, Xu and Wang families and seize all their family members.
The three major families were exiled by Wu Tian before they could react and exiled to Annan.
As for the industries of the three major families, all of them were confiscated and entered the treasury.
The official searched the house to count the industries of the three major families, which amounted to 30 million taels of silver.
When Wu Tian saw this number, he was stunned.
These three major families actually have so much money!
If it hadn't been eradicated earlier and waited for them to become stronger, the Liang Kingdom might have been in danger.
Now that the three major families have been destroyed, they have been given 30 million taels of silver for free, Wu Tian can continue his next plan and transform the army!
Just as he was about to go, a little eunuch ran in, knelt in front of Wu Tian, and shouted happily: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is back!"
When Wu Tian heard that the Saint was back, he looked happy. He had not seen the Saint for a year.
The last time there was news about her was half a year ago. At that time, Mu Guiying Feige sent a letter and said that the saint had given birth to a boy.
At that time, he wanted to go to Zhenbeicheng to visit the saint, but since the economic policy had just begun, Wu Tian said that he could not leave here no matter what.
It has been another half a year since this has been spent.
"Where is the Queen Mother now?"
"It's almost time to enter the city."
Wu Tian left the little eunuch and hurried to the city gate.
Chapter completed!
