The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 645 Return of Glory
He led the navy all the way back to Haidong and was warmly welcomed by the people.

The lives of the local people have improved tremendously, and they were all overjoyed when they heard that the army had won the battle.

In particular, most of the navy are soldiers recruited from Haidong.

Many family members came to welcome him.

It was simply a sea of ​​​​people, and if someone hadn’t separated a road, it would be impossible to get out.

Lin Hai first asked people to load the seized money onto the carriage.

The matter of settling the army was left to Cao Qiang.

He returned to the capital without stopping with the loot escorted by the cavalry.

Someone had already sent the news to the court, telling him that he was coming back.

Daxia destroyed Goryeo, and the people in the capital also cheered.

In the past, Goryeo often sent troops to invade Daxia at critical moments, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes. The people of Daxia had long hated Goryeo.

Now that Goryeo has been destroyed, we have finally avenged the people who died and were injured.

Especially for expanding such a large territory, he can be said to be the number one contributor to Daxia.

After making such a great contribution, Gong Yanwu once again led the civil and military officials to greet him personally outside the city.

As the Queen Mother, Gong Yanwu will lead Daxia to defeat all enemy countries and expand its territory.

Except for the founding emperor of Daxia, I am afraid that no other emperor can compare with Gong Yanwu's achievements.

It can be said that he turned the tide from a dynasty that was about to be destroyed to become so powerful.

Now that Gong Yanwu has complete control of power, no one dares to refute Gong Yanwu's decision.

When the army arrived at the city gate, Lin Hai and Yu Huashi dismounted and walked forward.

Salute together.

"I have met the Queen Mother!"

"No courtesy! The two of you led the army and made great achievements for me. You are all heroes.

No need to be polite! "

Gong Yanwu said with a smile.

Looking at Lin Hai, his eyes were filled with tenderness and pride.

This is her man.

As long as Lin Hai is around, Gong Yanwu feels extremely at ease and can settle anything no matter what.

After saluting, we returned to the palace together.

The next step is to reward according to merit, and all those who participated in the battle will receive rewards.

This was the second war to destroy the country, and Goryeo was completely defeated.

The title that Lin Hai can be promoted to has reached the highest level, and the next step is to become a prince.

Lin Hai didn't want to be too prominent, nor did he want an official position, just a verbal reward.

Yuhuashi was promoted to earl, which can be said to be unparalleled.

Other generals were also promoted.

After the awards are given, there will be a celebration banquet in the evening.

Gong Yanwu asked people to go back first and prepare to go to the palace to celebrate in the evening.

Lin Hai knew that Gong Yanwu would definitely summon him again, and others could not leave without him.

Sure enough, the eunuch came over and said with great respect: "Master Lin, the Queen Mother invites you!"

"My father-in-law will lead the way!" Lin Hai replied.

When they arrived at Gong Yanwu's bedroom, everyone stepped back and closed the door.

Lin Hai walked over and sat down next to Gong Yanwu.

Gong Yanwu raised the wine glass and put it to Lin Hai's mouth, and said with a smile: "Let me serve my husband to drink."

Lin Hai was not polite and drank the wine in one gulp.

He reached out and took Gong Yanwu into his arms.

"Did you miss me?"

"Can you not think about it? I think about it every day!

But having said that, it would be better for you to hit high profits.Only if you go can you destroy Goryeo so smoothly and bring back so much money!

Now you will no longer be short of money for building roads and dredging rivers! "Gong Yanwu leaned in Lin Hai's arms, extremely happy.

Once again, the enemy country was destroyed, and Gong Yanwu's prestige in the court was once again enhanced.

Gong Yanwu never dreamed that she would have such a stable position today.

Some ministers even believed that Gong Yanwu could continue to be in power, and it no longer mattered whether the emperor would be a wise king in the future.

Any minister knows very well that as long as the status quo can be maintained.

Daxia will continue to be strong.

The Jin Kingdom and the Khitan can no longer hold on for long, and they will destroy the Turks sooner or later.

Calculated in this way, Daxia's territory has almost doubled.

In the future, there will surely be a wave of influence from all nations, and Daxia will become the richest and most powerful country in the world.

Any official can enjoy this supreme honor.

"Hey, this is just a trivial matter! Once the Turks are completely eliminated, our territory in Daxia will be stable for the time being.

The next thing to do is to rectify the officialdom, and corrupt officials must not be allowed to exist.

We can improve the salary of officials and give them more salary, so that they can live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing.

But corrupt officials must not be allowed to exist!

Once corrupt officials become corrupt, they will cause great harm to the people, and they will also lead other officials to become corrupt.

As long as corrupt officials show up, we must crack down severely! "

Lin Hai said seriously.

Although the feudal dynasty had great shortcomings, corruption was difficult to eradicate.

But Lin Hai also wants to try his best to control corruption, and even consider whether he can slowly reform the official system in the future.

It can not only balance the power in the hands of the emperor, but also establish a system to prevent corruption.

Of course, this idea cannot be raised yet.

I'm afraid even Gong Yanwu would find it difficult to accept it.

In ancient times, imperial power was supreme and power was never allowed to fall into the hands of others.

However, Lin Hai is still not sure about establishing a scientific corruption inspection system.

After all, Gong Yanwu is also aware of the dangers of corrupt officials and powerful officials, and is deeply aware of it.

"I have been doing my best to do this, and even asked the shadow guards to go to various places to check the situation.

Collect evidence of corruption by corrupt officials and deal with them severely.

We must not spare these people lightly! "Gong Yanwu replied.

“Although the Shadow Guards are completely loyal to you, the organization is getting stronger and stronger.

But these people should not be allowed to influence the government too much.

Don’t let this affect your judgment!
Otherwise, if you have great power and the ability to impeach ministers at will, something will happen over time! "

Lin Hai's mind flashed through the Ming Dynasty East Factory and West Factory, which were existences similar to Shadow Guards.

This kind of power is very harmful to the imperial court.

Shadow Guards can only serve as Gong Yanwu's last force and eyes and ears, and these people must not be allowed to control the power of impeaching officials.

"Then what do you think we should do? Do you mean that we can only rely on the imperial envoys and envoys to monitor the officials?"

Gong Yanwu asked curiously.

“It is not enough to rely solely on imperial emissaries to supervise hundreds of officials. After all, it is difficult to truly understand what local officials are doing through fixed inspections and spot checks.

A special supervision system must be developed to monitor the officialdom.

These people cannot interfere in local government affairs, but are only responsible for the integrity of officials.

And they are directly responsible to the court, and no official can order them. Lin Hai replied.

This made the censor directly responsible to the court and the emperor, and the following situations were reported directly.

This can avoid being suppressed by local officials.
