After going around in circles, we are back to the point of a tyrant ruler!
Because my brother-in-law destroyed the country.
As a result, the luck increased by 10,000 when the luck was settled this time.
This was something Wei Yunyi had never anticipated before.
Because according to his plan, the land tax had already been implemented in the Jiangnan area.
The process was just as expected. The gentry were strongly dissatisfied with the reform.
In particular, he appointed Wang Shouyuan as the Inspector of Liangjiang, and asked him to unite all the originally scattered aristocratic factions in the Jiangnan area into one, so as to form a powerful force to force the court.
In this way, the court officials who already have close ties with the gentry will gradually change their mindset.
If this happens, the court will fall into turmoil.
Once the political situation becomes turbulent.
The fortune of the dynasty will definitely be affected and begin to weaken.
Everything was going according to plan. Wang Shouyuan had indeed gathered together the factions of the Jiangnan gentry, and they were all going to Beijing.
In Wei Yunyi's opinion, as long as this matter is accomplished, it will be difficult not to ruin his luck.
Even if it doesn't work this month, it will definitely work next month.
But I never thought about it.
Originally, in my opinion, my brother-in-law, who had no military talent and was just a dandy boy, actually accomplished the task of destroying a country...
This incident also taught Wei Yunyi a painful lesson, that is, if you are a tyrant, it will not work if you only rely on others.
Just like before, after the father-in-law completed the land tax distribution, Wang Jin found out about Li Fang's affairs.
Although the reforms in Jiangnan have caused the gentry to panic and prepare to go to the capital.
But who knows if there will be any problems during this process?
therefore.
Now he has to do it.
Just try not to rely on these people.
If you want to ruin your luck, you have to do it yourself and not put all your expectations on others.
Otherwise, if something like this happens to my brother-in-law a few more times, I'll just stop doing anything and wait to die.
At this moment, Wei Yunyi learned his lesson. He now knew that if he wanted to truly destroy the dynasty's fortune, he still needed to take drastic measures.
Therefore, he has made a decision in his heart that he must start doing things that he didn't want to do before.
For example, the Grand Canal plan that we thought of before.
To put it simply, it means developing water conservancy projects.
Moreover, what Wei Yunyi has to do is an extremely huge project.
This seems to be a good thing, but in fact, it can be said that it benefits the present and future generations.
What does it mean to contribute to the present era?
It is something that requires a lot of manpower and material resources and costs a lot of money.
However, this matter cannot be completed in a short period of time and will not play a role. But if we look at it from a long-term perspective, it will benefit the country and the people and benefit future generations.
The Grand Canal is such a plan.
The construction of the Grand Canal required the conscription of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of laborers.
At the same time, it would also consume a huge amount of money of the court.
In this way.
Because of this plan, the country will consume a lot of luck in a short period of time.
But this move is not meaningless. Once the Grand Canal is successfully dug, the benefits will be huge.
The situation Wei Yunyi is facing now is that the country is thriving and its fortune is growing. Although there is not much money in the treasury now, as long as the tax revenue comes in this year, the treasury will definitely be full.
It is almost impossible to ruin the country's destiny by just doing some small things or relying on some corrupt officials.
The only option is to use other methods, especially projects that consume a lot of national strength.
At this stage, the one that suits you best.
It's the Grand Canal.
That’s not all.
Wei Yunyi also has a second plan, which is to imitate the Qin Dynasty in his previous life and build a straight road.
In essence, it is similar to the Grand Canal, which seems time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unpopular.
But as long as it is completed, it will definitely benefit the country and the people.
Especially in the military.
Just imagine.
What if we built a straight and wide road from the capital all the way to the northern border?
Once the grasslands move south, the imperial court can quickly mobilize troops from all over the country to reinforce the northern border as quickly as possible to resist the invasion of foreign tribes.
Of course, this plan has its pros and cons. Once the northern border is opened, the pace of the grassland moving south will be much faster.
But if we look at the actual situation, the construction of a straight road will be beneficial for the court to mobilize and control the troops from all sides.
The advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
What’s more, he even thought of a name, which is Wei Zhidao!
And these two plans.
Unsurprisingly, all of this requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.
Not only was the burden heavy on the imperial court, but also on the people under its rule.
The court can ignore it if it is not a big deal, but if the people cannot bear it and suffer from poverty, that is not what he wants.
But now, because of the increase in luck, the time for the immortal to come to the world is getting faster and faster.
So I can’t care less about that.
Of course, as the emperor, Wei Yunyi actually has a lot of room to maneuver here.
Especially during this period, when the Grand Canal project was being planned, he had found some win-win solutions on how to avoid increasing the burden on the people while also consuming the dynasty's fortune.
As for this method, it is also very simple, that is, when the Grand Canal is dug, give the people a certain amount of compensation.
Also, the corvée laborers who work every day should have enough rest time.
certainly.
This was just his initial thought.
