Cao Hui walked on the long corridor. The new Emperor Cao Yun of the Great Qi Dynasty had completely different styles of service from the former Emperor Cao Tiancheng. His decisive style maintained his usual habits in the army, which made the officials from all over the Qi State feel like they were thorns. Every decree issued from this small courtyard will inevitably be implemented as soon as possible. If there is a slight delay, the punishment will come as scheduled.

Cao Yun doesn't look at the process, only the results. After a task is issued, he doesn't care about how you complete it, but if the results he wants are not achieved, the officials in charge of the matter will have only one way to go, and take off their gauze hats and let the virtuous. If you miss the matter, you might be in prison.

Unlike Qin Feng, the Ming Dynasty who basically gave all political affairs to the Political Affairs Hall, who only mastered some major policies and policies, Cao Yun, who seemed to be endless, was a military and political leader, and he had to personally review everything in detail.

The current chief minister Tian Fen no longer holds power as before, but has become the executor of all policies of Daqi.

Cao Hui didn't know whether this was good or bad, but he could clearly feel Cao Yun's seemingly vigorous energy, and the white hair on his head increased a lot in the past six months.

However, Cao Hui did not dare to argue with Cao Yun's domineering style at all. For him, he is also a voice of guilt. You should know that the series of policies of the former emperor Cao Tiancheng, especially those designed for Cao Yun, were personally involved.

Although Tian Fen is still the chief minister now, and Cao Hui is still the highest commander of ghosts, their power has been greatly reduced.

The old bureaucracy is gradually being destroyed, the new officials are promoted by the emperor himself, and the new order is being established at an extremely fast speed. Cao Hui felt that when all this is going to stabilize, or when his father-in-law leaves office.

Now Tian Fen is working day and night, trying hard to follow Cao Yun's footsteps. Rather than saying that it is for Qi, it is better to say that he is earning a decent ending for himself.

Cao Yun does need Tian Fen to stabilize the situation now, but when the political situation is completely stabilized, I am afraid that Tian Fen will become the new emperor's eyes will be stingy.

As for me, the situation I face may be better. In other words, as long as Cao Chong is alive for one day, he will not be in too much danger.

After experiencing the storm last year, Cao Chong never returned to Yulong Mountain to go to seclusion and study. Instead, he ran around Qi as the emperor's special envoy. Cao Chong's reputation and ability were enough to make all the officials in Qi who were still dissatisfied with their own selfish thoughts and cooperate with the new emperor's work wholeheartedly.

It has been more than half a year, and Cao Hui only met Cao Chong in May. Now, he should be in the northernmost part of the empire, where some Jurchen tribes that were originally attached to the Great Qi were about to move.

These damn barbarians thought that Da Qi would have a chance to take advantage of the difficulties, so they were really wrong. Cao Chong left only two ways for them to go here, either to destroy or completely become subordinates of Da Qi, and no longer just a pattern of tribute and not attending court as before.

Da Qi now needs to concentrate all his energy on dealing with the future decisive battle with Ming Kingdom. In this process, any factor that drags down Da Qi's strength will be ruthlessly eliminated.

The emperors now have a huge reputation in Qi State, and the most important point is to distribute the confiscated large amount of land of gentry and nobles to those landless people.

Of course, it is not free, but sold at a fair price, with each ten acre, and all debts paid in three years. Of course, in this process, the taxes to be paid must be paid. This is very different from the Ming State, but Qi State has the national conditions of Qi State, and it is impossible to completely copy the Ming State model.

Qi State did not dare to think about the fact that the imperial court was heavily in debt and relied on loans from the private sector and issuing national debts to maintain the operation of the state machinery.

Tian Fen once organized shopkeepers of some large money shops in Qi State and officials who were proficient in wealth and goods to conduct in-depth research on the Ming Dynasty system. However, the more they studied, the more confused they became, the more they felt that their knowledge was too deep. When they were not clear about the situation, they rashly did this, for fear that they would not be able to become a dog and drag the Qi State into the abyss.

There was no corvee service in the Ming Dynasty, and all the things that required the people to serve labor were purchased by the government. This seemed unnecessary for the people of Qi. Organizing the people to build roads, bridges and water conservancy during the slack farming period, as long as the people were properly controlled, it would not be more burdensome. The people of Qi felt that what they had to do was to manage officials strictly and profitably, and reduce their use of such opportunities to fish and meat the people, and that this problem could be perfectly solved.

And in the past six months, everything seemed to be demonstrating that Qi was developing in a good direction. The landless people finally had their own land, which made their enthusiasm soar. They were not as resistant to the taxes and corvee as before. The observation of the style along the way made it exciting news that was rewarded to the court.

Qi State is accelerating the pace of centralization at an unimaginable speed.

The steps stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

The palace was very large, but Cao Yun insisted on handling government affairs in such a remote small courtyard. As for other places, he rarely stepped in.

"Mr. Cao, Your Majesty, you will go in." Cao Hui felt very pleased that the eunuch who went to report came back very quickly. For him, the emperor still had great trust in him at least so far, and he never delayed for a moment whenever he asked for a meeting.

Like this simple courtyard, Cao Yun's house for government affairs was also extremely simple. A large table was filled with various documents and documents. There was a bench behind the table, and there were also several benches in front.

This was arranged by Cao Yun himself. In his words, the comfortable environment will make him decay without realizing it. Only the difficult environment can make him feel that Da Qi is still in danger. Sitting on a bench with no backrest will make him stay alert at all times.

When Cao Hui entered, Cao Yun was sitting straight, with his hands on the big table, staring straight at the prime minister Tian Fen in front of him, gathering to listen to Tian Fen's report.

Tian Fen was talking about the two major things that Cao Yun paid the most attention to after taking office, the reform of officials. In the past dynasties, the reform of officials has been a major issue, and one carelessness will not cause the world to be turbulent. During the six months of visiting the Ming Dynasty, Cao Yun had a profound impression of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. He had seen the dilapidated county magistrate's office in Taoyuan County, and also saw officials with only three or two big cats in the county magistrate's office.

But only a few officials managed the entire Taoyuan County in an orderly manner. Although it was still difficult and exhausted, the prosperous atmosphere could not be concealed. On the other hand, a county magistrate at that time, in addition to a large number of officials and officials, there was also a huge team of staff. The court paid a large amount of salary, but the results were minimal. It seemed that the court's request for them was just to be safe and safe.

The country prospers due to things, and things come true according to people. When we met Qin Feng, these words from Qin Feng deeply impressed him. If someone uses the right person, the key to success is to use it. No matter how good the policy is, it may lead to the ultimate failure because of the wrong person used it.

This is what Tian Fen is now in charge of. Tian Fen has served as the chief minister for many years. Naturally, no one knows better about the ills of the Daqi officialdom than him. Those people can use it and who should be cautious in using it. Those people are just a piece of shit, and naturally they know it. Using him to arrest officials and reforms is not only to let Tian Fen do this, but also to let Tian Fen cut off from the past. Doing such a thing is of course the most offensive. Cao Yun even had a foreseeable feeling that after this matter is completed, Tian Fen will almost become an isolated minister.

This is of course what Cao Yun wants the most.

There is no doubt that Cao Yun was not worried about Tian Fen's ability to manage political affairs. What Cao Hui guessed was that he would deal with Tian Fen after everything stabilized was that he wanted to slowly polish Tian Fen and completely let him become his help. When Ming Qi began to fight for hegemony, his most important energy would probably be above the military. At this time, he needed a stable rear, an expert in handling political affairs who could help him share his worries. His powerful generals and generals can be said to be a big hit, but there are basically no experts in government affairs like Tian Fen.

Now is the best time to carry out the reform of the administration. The old order has been broken and the new order is being established. If everything stabilizes again in a few years, it will be difficult to do this.

Cao Hui stood aside with his hands down, listening to the comments between the emperor and the chief minister. Cao Yun didn't talk much and was mostly listening, but occasionally asking a few questions, it hit the nail on the head. Cao Hui clearly saw that there were even fine beads of sweat on his father-in-law's forehead.

It is definitely a chore to play against Cao Yun now. His eyes that seem to be able to see through everything make people feel unconsciously panicked.
