Chapter 60 Who has the final say? ! (Ch 60)

In the Golden Palace.
After seeing the promotion of business law.
And the tax revenue of Yu State was increased.
The Minister of Revenue Wei Taihe collapsed directly to the ground.
Among those three options.
Pray that Chen Huaixin’s business law will not be successful.
Now it has completely failed!
He now had to either grit his teeth and hold on, and then be killed with a knife, or tell the truth, and then wait for his relatives and descendants to be liquidated by the aristocratic families!
No matter which option.
He can’t afford the price!
“Minister Wei.”
“It seems that you are going to disappoint me.”
Ji Qingluo’s voice rang out at this time.
Her cold gaze stayed on Wei Taihe, causing him to tremble continuously. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but then closed it unconsciously.
See this scene.
All the ministers in the court dared not say a word, for fear that they would be involved.
And those officials related to the aristocratic families kept staring at Wei Taihe, as if they were reminding him or warning him!
It was not until Ji Qingluo’s eyes swept across all the ministers that they immediately lowered their heads and remained silent like the other ministers.
“In that case.”
“Then I will satisfy you!”
“As the Minister of Revenue, he doesn’t know how to restore people’s livelihood, nor does he understand the principles of maritime trade taxation. Even the national treasury has been messed up by the treasure banknote policy! Such a good-for-nothing is not even worthy of being imprisoned in the Dali Temple!”
“Someone come!”
“Drag him out and kill him!”
Ji Qingluo said coldly.
For a while.
There was an uproar in the court.
They originally thought that Ji Qingluo just deliberately made it sound more serious, but in the end, he might just be imprisoned in the Dali Temple like the Marquis of Changtian County and Minister Qian before, and be dealt with later.
But this time, the Minister of Revenue Wei Taihe was directly executed!
Some people looked at Ji Qingluo, as if they wanted to say something, but when they saw Ji Qingluo’s cold expression, they immediately understood that Ji Qingluo was serious!
The future of Chen Huaixin predicted by the Jiantian Mirror and the ministers in the court who behaved like giant termites had already made her very angry!
Now Wei Taihe clearly knew something, but he was unwilling to say a word. This was clearly a contempt for the imperial power! If he was not killed, some officials would only have more ideas in their minds!
Even the kind-hearted eldest princess Ji Changning kept her mouth shut and watched the guards drag out the limp Wei Taihe!
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense.
Ji Qingluo felt even angrier in his heart.
Because Wei Taihe, who would rather die than reveal a single word, showed one thing with his attitude: the influence of the aristocratic family on the ministers in the court was greater than her prestige as the emperor!
“Who has the final say over the country I inherited, I or those aristocratic families?!”
Ji Qingluo looked coldly at the people below.
She dares to kill people.
But there must be enough reasons!
Wanton killing will only lead to chaos in the world!
After a cold snort.
She once again turned her gaze to the Mirror of Heaven, hoping that in the future she deduced, she would be able to find the faults of her ministers, or how to distinguish between loyalty and treachery!
“If not.”
“We can only wait until after the deduction.”
“Recruit Chen Huaixin immediately!”
She thought so.
And the deduction continues.
【As early as three and a half years ago. 】
[Because scholars in the previous period criticized the imperial court, the country of Yu was exposed to hidden dangers in public opinion. 】
【So Chen Huaixin thought about starting a newspaper so that he could guide the public opinion in the country.】
【only.】
【At that time.】
【There are not many literate people in Yu Country.】
[So he could only settle for the next best thing and chose to arrange personnel to publicize the court’s affairs in various places.]
【Until now.】
[This has become a place where the people gather together to discuss court affairs in their spare time.]
[Although the people are just having fun, they cannot really understand the deep meaning of these policies, and the occasional mention by the propagandists that a minister made a mistake will make them more interested! ]
[Such a place not only satisfies the people’s entertainment needs, but also controls the direction of public opinion. Therefore, even if some officials occasionally worry that it is not a good idea to let the people discuss state affairs, important officials including the prime minister think that this is nothing.]
【“Since we have done well enough.”】
[“Then why are you afraid of people discussing it?”]
【“Why should they be prohibited from discussing state affairs?”】
【This is what the prime minister said at the time.】
【certainly.】
[This is also related to the fact that this matter was arranged by Chen Huaixin himself. Even his own emperor has no objection to it, so they, as ministers, will not have too many objections. ]
【but.】
[This place is still not very convenient. ]
[Because only a small number of people were able to hear the story told by the propagandists, most people relied on word of mouth to know what the court had done! ]
【”after all.”】
“Not everyone has time.”
[“At that time of publicity, we concentrated on a fixed place.”]
[“And that place can’t accommodate so many people!”]
[This shortcoming is basically unsolvable, but there is no more suitable method, so we can only make do with it. ]
【But now. 】
【The school has been established for four and a half years.】
[Although most of the people are still illiterate, many of their children already know how to read and write! ]
[“Only a very small number of common people could pass the imperial examination.”]
[“But there are many children among the people who know the commonly used characters!”]
[“Now is the right time to start a newspaper!”]
[“Not only will literate children be eager to read more texts, but their parents can also be informed of the court’s movements through the mouths of children.”]
[“This will allow the imperial court to completely grasp the direction of public opinion!”]
【Chen Huaixin is explaining.】
[After hearing this, the Minister of Finance showed a look of astonishment on his face! ]
[He could naturally see how much benefit the court would gain if such a newspaper was established! ]
[At least in the future, if someone wants to distort the court’s intentions, they will be refuted by the people who have read the newspapers. At the very least, the people will remain skeptical and will not believe others on the spot! ]
【”and.”】
[“You can also make money with this newspaper!”]
[“Let my Yu country’s treasury have an extra income!”]
【The Minister of Revenue was excited.】
[He naturally likes this kind of thing that doesn’t cost money but can make money. ]
[But Chen Huaixin shook his head and said: “No, the lower the price of the newspaper, the better, even if it means losing money, because only in this way can more people afford to buy this newspaper!”]
[Newspapers are for propaganda. If ordinary people can’t afford them, how can they control the direction of the wind? ]
[But this made the Minister of Revenue feel miserable. Although the increase in commercial taxes brought more money to the national treasury, it was still a loss to publish a newspaper, and it still had to be open to all the people. How much would it cost! ]
【And Chen Huaixin seemed to have seen what the Minister of Revenue was thinking.】
[He smiled and continued, “So, I also plan to start novels and comic strips, and use their income to make up for the newspaper’s expenses.”]
[“This will not only save the national treasury from spending more money, but will also enrich the spiritual and entertainment life of the people!”]
[“After all, the people are not cattle and horses that only need to eat, drink and sleep and don’t need anything else!”]
