When everyone heard Xiang Yun praise Yue Yun, they all turned to look at Yue Yun.
Pang Wanchun did not attend court because he had a mission.
" I hereby announce that General Yue Pengju has been conscientious and dedicated to serving the country. He will now be reinstated as the commander of the country's army and will train soldiers to defend against foreign enemies."
Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yue Fei took a step forward and thanked him.
Xiang Yun trusted Yue Fei quite a bit, not to mention that Yue Fei was a summoning character, he was loyal to him.
Just based on Yue Fei's character, he was loyal to his country and would never betray.
It was just that his political intelligence was too low.
They were easily dealt with by political opponents.
" General Yue, I hope that you can shoulder the responsibility of a Great General and train a strong army for our Fire Country." Xiang Yun looked at Yue Fei, his eyes filled with hope.
The current Fire Country could only seek quality and not quantity.
When the territory was bigger, he could pursue this.
"This lowly subject will definitely not disappoint you."
The Fire Country's army, excluding the soldiers guarding the city, only had a total of fifty thousand soldiers.
It might be slightly stronger than the other first rank vassal kingdoms, but not by much.
······
Xiang Yun then looked at Yue Yun.
"Yue Yun, forward to hear the seal."
"Your humble subject is here."
I now confer you the title of General Shen Wei, and you will be under General Yue's command."
Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Fan Zeng, forward."
"Your humble subject is here."
This Lord will now confer upon you the title of Prime Minister of the Fire Country, assisting This Lord in handling the affairs of the country."
Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Fan Zeng to be directly conferred the title of Prime Minister.
"In addition, Old Madam Yao (also known as mother-in-law) will be conferred the title of First Madam, and Wu Shangzhi will be conferred the title of General Feiyang, serving as Yue Fei's deputy.
" Thank you, Your Majesty." At this time, Yue Fei was even more excited than when he had obtained an official position.
Yue Fei was a very filial son.
It was more effective to reward his mother-in-law than to reward him.
At this moment, Yue Fei wished that he could immediately expand the Fire Country's territory and reclaim the lost land.
Yue Yun's heart was also fluctuating, he was very excited.
However, what puzzled them was how the king knew about his brother-in-law (uncle).
" Yes, you guys stand aside." Xiang Yun nodded.
" Yes." Then Yue Fei, Fan Zeng, and the others stood in front of Wen Wu, while Yue Yun stood behind his father.
" What comes next is the main point. I want to restore the people's livelihood, develop the economy, and consolidate the country's strength, so I've formulated some policies. Eunuch Zheng, read them out to everyone," Xiang Yun said to the old eunuch beside him.
" Yes, Your Majesty." Following that, Eunuch Zheng began to recite.
"First, confiscate all the land in the country and take it into the country. The land will be divided according to the number of people. The people only have the right to use it, not the right to buy and sell it.
Second, reduce the corvee, reduce taxes, reduce agricultural taxes, reduce the burden on the people, restore the people's livelihood, and actively accept refugees from other countries.
Third, encourage business, encourage the people to do business, encourage craftsmen to create new products, and ensure the legal rights of merchants. At the same time, increase business taxes according to the profits of the products.
Fourth, recruit talents, regardless of background, only talent. Anyone who has a skill can go to the recruitment hall to be tested.
"In addition, those who commit murder due to negligence can join the army and atone for their crimes."
The last one was about manslaughter.
If it was a heinous person, he would be executed immediately.
······
After hearing the content, a minister hurriedly stood up.
" Your Majesty, you mustn't, you mustn't." A physician walked out. He was a member of the Shi clan.
The first one severely violated the interests of the aristocratic families.
Even if he had to die, he had to stand up and oppose it.
" Oh, why not?" Xiang Yun could not help but ask.
"I'm worried that taking back the land and distributing it all at once will cause chaos."
"Chaos? "Hmph, if there's chaos, then suppress it. Pass down the order and let Pang Wanchun temporarily take charge of this matter. Anyone who rebels will be executed immediately."
" Yes." Eunuch Zheng nodded.
Hearing Xiang Yun's words, the official's expression involuntarily changed, somewhat flustered and exasperated.
" Foolish ruler, you're courting your own death by doing this."
"Bastard!" Xiang Yun was furious.
The others, like Fan Zeng, Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and the others, were furious.
"Men, drag him away and throw him in jail."
" Yes." The soldier walked up and pulled the official out.
" You fatuous ruler, you fatuous ruler."
" The Yan Nation will be destroyed in your hands."
When he was pulled out, the other party was still shouting.
" Hmph, Father, I'll leave this matter to you." Xiang Yun calmed the anger in his heart.
He said to Fan Zeng.
"This lowly subject obeys your orders."
Is there anything else? If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw."
"Great King." At this moment, Zhang Zhao stood out.
"Physician Zhang Zhao, what's the matter?" Xiang Yun looked at him.
Your Majesty, this lowly subject has two things to say."
" Oh, please go ahead." Zhang Zhao was also a top talent, especially in internal affairs.
" First, when the king ascends the throne, according to tradition, the whole world should be pardoned.
This world was referring to the Fire Country.
" Mhm, it's allowed. Those who commit minor crimes will be exempted from prison. Those who commit major crimes will be allowed to return home to visit their relatives and be imprisoned outside. Those who commit heinous crimes will be allowed to have their families visit them. The punishment will remain the same. Those who have no family will be rewarded with some food and wine."
"Your Majesty is wise."
