Liu Che had been the emperor for half a year.
The Great Han Empire was at its peak and had many famous officials. As long as the business was invigorated, the Great Han Empire would definitely be able to rebuild and prosper.
However, all the civil and military officials in the court focused on agriculture and did not put commerce in their eyes at all.
In their eyes, commerce was a side issue, and agriculture was the foundation of a country…
However, Liu Che knew that if he wanted to make the country rich and powerful, he couldn't do without commerce. Ever since the Great Han Empire was founded, it had never paid enough attention to commerce.
In Liu Che's opinion, it was easy to reform the business, but it was difficult to inspect the farmland...
Reforming the business industry would take a year to see results.
However, reforming agriculture would take decades, and it would easily arouse the opposition of the princes and the powerful.
Furthermore, reforming the commerce sector would bring about a new look to the Great Han Empire, while reforming the agriculture sector would only bring about temporary prosperity…
……
Liu Che sat on the dragon throne, relying on the memories of his previous life and the knowledge he had exchanged from the system's mall, he meticulously wrote down the business reform policy.
He had already decided to completely open up his business.
Of course, salt and ironware would be monopolized!
Moreover, he would gradually take back the power of the princes to boil salt and cast coins.
He also wanted to open up the sea and establish a free port in the southeast coastal city.
Let all the merchants in the Great Han Empire participate in the construction of the Free Port. Merchants who participate in the investment will be rewarded with a 40% tax reduction.
To strengthen the military defense in the north, Liu Che intended to open a horse market in the Yanmen Pass and Hetao area.
They traded with the Xiongnu and the countries of the Western Regions to earn profits.
Since the technology and materials were in the hands of the Great Han Empire, they would be able to pull the rug out from under the Xiongnu's feet if they started trading.
After all, Liu Che didn't want to use the entire country's strength to go to the Northern Expedition.
Even if the Northern Expedition succeeded, the Empire would still suffer great losses!
It was definitely an unbearable pain for the Great Han Empire.
In the history of his previous life, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent decades defeating the Xiongnu, the population of the Great Han Empire was halved, and the people were in dire straits. The Emperor himself had no choice but to issue an edict to punish himself…
For Liu Che, all kinds of advantages and time were on his side, so there was no hurry.
——
After the new Emperor of the Great Han Empire ascended the throne, everything had changed.
All the officials in the court were scared out of their wits. They did not dare to slack off in the implementation of the decree!
Because under the little Emperor's authorization, the Minister's Office and the Embroidered Guard had started a massacre.
Fifty-four officials above Rank-6 were killed, and more than five hundred were sent to the border.
Under such high pressure, who would dare to commit a crime and take money?
Recently, Prime Minister Wei Wan had been looking for signs of corruption.
As long as he caught her, he would probably throw her into the Ministry of Justice for questioning.
Everyone knew that Wei Wan and Han Anguo weren't joking.
If they caught any greedy behavior, they would definitely die.
All of a sudden, the Great Han Empire's national institutions began to operate quickly, and the various decrees were executed smoothly.
Many officials had already seen through it, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs was 100% in support of the emperor.
For the sake of the Great Han Empire, they did not hesitate to offend their colleagues and become villains.
During this period of time, Wei Wan and Han Anguo had suffered a lot of criticism.
Many officials secretly called Han Anguo the High Han Butcher and Wei Wan the Prime Minister.
This was because Han Anguo was in charge of looting corrupt officials and had registered all the gold, silver, land deeds, and jewelry into the national treasury.
The reason why the anti-corruption campaign was carried out so smoothly this time was because the government had been very strict.
It was mainly because of the cooperation of the Embroidered Guard that the corrupt officials had nowhere to hide.
This was the original intention of the Embroidered Guard, but later generations did not make good use of them…
——
After Liu Che took a nap and ate some dessert, he asked Chun Tuo to summon Dou Ying into the palace.
At this moment, Zhao Wan was drinking at Ji An's house.
Zhao Wan was also present. Since Zhao Wan's house caught fire, he had been staying in Ji An's house.
Ji An was also an elder of the three dynasties, and his illustrious reputation was only above Wei Wan's.
Ji An was already sixty-seven years old this year, and it was already rather inconvenient for him to move.
A few days ago, when she was in court, her legs went weak and she almost fell.
Ji An was six years older than Dou Ying, and when the two of them were ministers in the same palace, Dou Ying had received many favors from Ji An.
To Dou Ying, Ji An was both a teacher and a friend.
Ji An was unwell, so he was prepared to resign.
However, he was worried when he saw the situation in the court change.
Ji An was not afraid of people rebelling because the Minister's Office would naturally deal with them. Ji An was afraid that the ministers and the harem would take advantage of the Emperor's young age.
Zhao Wan smiled and said,
"Brother Ji, if you say that other emperors are easily restrained by powerful officials, then this lowly official also has this worry."
" But the current emperor is extraordinary. Wei Wan and Han Anguo can't cause any trouble in His Majesty's hands…"
