Chapter 375: A Strategy to Enrich the People
It was surprising that there were two regents in the Great Chu Dynasty, one male and one female. It was even more speechless that Fukuzawa County Lady, who had always been treated as a vase by everyone, would also come to the book.
Even until now, people are unwilling to change their address to call her the Regent, and are only willing to call her Princess Fukuzawa.
Xia Daohua didn't mind this - it was enough for the Regent to have Gu Mingzhen, and it was actually not bad for her to be a vase that worked for three days and dried the nets for two days.
But after listening in on government affairs for a few days, she discovered that the person who gave her the most trouble, apart from the young emperor and Gu Mingzhen, was the Minister of Revenue.
This old man's daily task is to quarrel with others. He quarrels with the Minister of War, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Works... In the end, no matter whether he wins or not, he always uses a big move with a sad face: "No money!"
Once this trick is used, he can successfully transfer the sadness on his face to the face of others.
After attending the class for a few days, Xia Daohua felt that she could not just sit there and watch.
No matter whether there are any dates or not, just try your best!
So she carefully looked for a lot of information, thought about it, and wrote this memorial.
When seeing Xia Daohua's memorial, the little emperor and Gu Mingzhen were both a little surprised.
Although she still used plain language, the format was surprisingly not wrong. Although it was a little different from the commonly used format, it was basically clear and organized, and she also thoughtfully listed the table of contents and page numbers - this was a first in the memorial, and it was quite unusual.
Xia Daohua's memorials basically revolved around one theme: how to increase the income of the court and the people.
She listed some common policies to benefit the people in later generations, a total of ten, big and small, and the first one was building roads.
After traveling through time for so long, what I feel most deeply is the inconvenience of transportation and communication. For someone who is accustomed to the convenience of modern society, these inconveniences are really unbearable.
Although Xia Daohua can use some means of transportation that are ahead of their time, such as her beloved electric scooter, the terrible road conditions still seriously affect her experience.
Moreover, the losses on the road during the escape and when delivering grain in Bohai County had left a deep impression on her.
It was one thing that she had no shortage of food, but it was another thing that the food was wasted due to road conditions and cunning officials.
She may not be able to manage the petty officials (this part can be handled by Gu Mingzhen or the little emperor), but she can still improve the road conditions.
Of course, she was just making suggestions to warm the eyes of the little emperor and Gu Mingzhen. As for whether they could accept it or realize it, that was not within her consideration at all.
In addition to road construction, Xia Daohua also proposed some specific measures and plans, such as the official postal express business through the official post station, water conservancy facilities for agricultural production, educational projects for young people of school age, and the new function of auditing customs given to Jinyi Yunqi...
Of course, these are just examples to stimulate discussion.
Xia Daohua suggested that the young emperor and Gu Mingzhen pool their wisdom and hold extensive discussions among court officials in order to collect truly reliable policies to enrich and benefit the people. By keeping wealth among the people, the country will prosper.
This memorial caused an uproar among the court officials.
They didn't expect that Princess Fukuzawa, who they thought was just a decoration, would actually dare to interfere in the government affairs.
The most damning thing is that what she said actually makes some sense!
Even if I were to oppose for the sake of opposing, it was hard to say...
But no matter how much they couldn't say it, they still threw memorials criticizing Xia Daohua onto the Golden Palace like snowflakes.
The little emperor looked at the pile of memorials in front of him and wanted to throw them away.
But as an excellent successor, especially with Gu Mingzhen watching him, he still gritted his teeth and read on. After reading less than three or five books, he threw the letter in anger:
"I think they should all learn how to write memorials from Fukuzawa-kun!"
