Heavenly Dao Formula

Qi Country, Shangyuan City.

Ning Qianshi was writing vigorously while He'er was grinding ink aside.

After a while, he put down the brush and let out a long breath.

"Written?" Qian asked who was sitting opposite.

"Well, do you want to see it?"

He rubbed his forehead, "Since you're here, let's take a look."

Ning Qianshi pushed the scroll over, "You didn't care about these things before. If I mention it, you will definitely find an excuse to escape."

Qian was silent for a while, "That's right, let me watch this and drink an extra bowl of wine."

"But you will say yes now."

"Probably because the situation is different." Gan's voice was a little helpless, "I thought that after the goal of the seven-star alliance was achieved, I would be able to relax a lot, but I didn't expect that I would be busier than before."

In just one winter, many changes have taken place at the core of the Privy Council. The lock weaver Yan Qing defected, Yunshang Layman Baizhan was seriously injured, the newly recruited members conspired against each other, and even let Daqi Privy Mansion show a farce to others. Except for the Wanjinglou incident, the Privy Council Mansion has not suffered such a setback for a long time .

So everyone will feel a little bit unwilling.

He himself is no exception.

Qian turned his eyes to the beginning of the scroll, and the words "New Deal for the Cultivation of the Sensitive" came into his eyes.

"The Privy Council will set up special agencies in various parts of the Qi State to house the awakened people who are sensitive to energy. This expenditure will be included in the local finances and distributed together with the officials' salaries."

Ning Qianshi seemed to be stating his strategy.

"In addition to states and cities, counties and townships also need to set up corresponding institutions, and cover the surrounding towns and villages. This is one of the unshakable national policies. Local officials must be diligent and meticulous. The best will be rewarded, and the poor will be rewarded. Punishment. The more qi sensers you collect, the richer the rewards will be."

"Secondly, it is forbidden for any family to keep, solicit, or drive those who feel angry. Those who take the initiative to report to the residents should be rewarded with money and publicized. On the contrary, those who harbor or refuse to hand over their children should be severely punished."

This is also the practice in the Yongchao period.

"Those replacement officials, have they all been trained?" Gan asked, raising his head.

Ning Qianshi nodded, "Currently, there are 168 people who are affected by qi, and 3,251 people who are not affected by qi, and 20% of them come from Seven Star Assistance. Although the existing bureaucratic system cannot be completely replaced , but at least the main institutions can be controlled by the Privy Council itself.”

This is also the core plan of Seven Stars, even more important than dismantling the aristocratic family and restricting the imperial power. It can be said that the planning node of the entire operation is not a whim of the Privy Council, but is determined according to the training time and the number of people. As early as fifteen years ago, the Privy Council began to secretly train its own team - including those who are sensitive and ordinary people. They do not belong to the family, and have nothing to do with other forces. Most of them were adopted when they were five or six years old, and they only dedicated their allegiance to the Privy Council.

The General Mansion taught them how to read and understand officialdom, and how to deal with local government affairs... This scene was not only carried out in Qi Country, but also in several other countries, so that after the Seven Stars announced the alliance, they could immediately send Control extends to every corner of the territory.

If such a thorough replacement is not carried out, the Privy Council cannot be considered to have truly mastered the kingdom's political power.

It can be said that the future emperor is just a mascot sitting on the throne.

The irony is that these new policies that take away the power of the royal family will all be announced by the emperor himself, and I don't know how Ning Weiyuan will feel when he sees this announcement.

This thought only flashed through Gan's mind, and then he left it behind.

It doesn't matter what the emperor thinks.

"When are you going to start replacing?"

"Start now." Ning Qianshi said without hesitation, "Where the road is blocked by heavy snow, the Privy Council can send alchemists from Dui or Kun to escort. Now that the coldest snow period has passed, moving slowly can always Move over. I know it's a risk, but I don't want to wait any longer."

Gan nodded and did not continue on this issue.

There are gains and losses, and it is not his style to care about such minutiae.

As for whether those local officials will accept it wisely or resist it to the end, His Royal Highness the Second Prince must have already made corresponding preparations.

He turned his gaze back to the scroll.

Next is the cultivation policy.

All those who sense the energy will be sent to Shangyuan City to receive unified training in techniques and combat skills. At the same time, all the expenses during the period will also be borne by the Privy Council. The scholar's examination is changed from once every three years to once a year. Those who perform outstandingly can get a generous salary and a matching official position, and the rewards are almost the same as the imperial examination.

Compared with letting the aristocratic family complete the introductory training, and then send it to the local Privy Council to participate in the actual combat of eliminating evil, this kind of centralized teaching obviously has many advantages. Alchemy knowledge education can greatly increase the influence of the Privy Council in the world.

It's just that the benefits don't just drop out of thin air.

Even if you have little contact with government affairs, you can still see the word "money" between the lines.

If this policy is to be persisted, the cost will definitely be a figure that is enough to empty the national treasury.

The reason why King Qi let several big families take charge of the people who are affected by Qi in various places is essentially to reduce the financial pressure on the imperial court.

"You don't have to worry about this." Ning Qianshi seemed to have seen his thoughts, "The mined silver will not disappear out of thin air. If there is less money in the court treasury, more will naturally fall into the hands of big families. Power change At this time, the redistribution of money is indispensable."

Gan raised his eyebrows, "If you really do this, you will be remembered by countless people. They would like to peel off your skin and eat your flesh."

"Then what's there to be afraid of? In the new era when the Privy Council is in power, they can't do anything wrong." The second prince firmly believed in this.

Gan also laughed. If these new policies are implemented, the Privy Council will become full of talents and unite in a few years.

It seems that His Highness has recovered from the shock of the enthronement ceremony.

But the problem still remains—

Gan put down the scroll, "Jinxia City... what are you going to do?"

"I definitely can't let the imperial sister continue." Ning Qianshi's tone did not change, as if he had thought about it carefully, "After the spring, the operation against Jinxia City should be gradually launched. It's just that I need to collect more troops before dispatching troops. Now that I think about it, Xia Fan is a very weird person. If Ning Wanjun has won the trust, he might really be able to bring some changes to Jinxia City. If he doesn’t know anything about it, he might end up in the Shangyuan Prison again. mistakes."

"It makes sense." Mentioning Xia Fan's name, Qian still couldn't help but sigh. At the age of less than twenty years old, he has already created his own unique shock technique, and he is still a listener. If the Privy Council can find him earlier...

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person." Ning Qianshi looked at He'er who was sitting obediently by the side, "Before Xia Fan was far away from Shenzhou and was alone in Shangyuan, so that we ignored this point. Now that I think about it, This contest is essentially a confrontation between Daqi and Jinxia, ​​and it is not at the same level in terms of the number of cards. Maybe it will be defeated by government orders and non-war means without using the army. My sister and her city, Xia Fan alone is nothing to worry about."

"Have you thought of a way?"

"More than one kind." Ning Qianshi said calmly, "He will see it soon."
