With his father now in charge of the western battlefield, and assisted by figures like Jia Xu, Ran Min, Ma Chao, he basically doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.
This lineup is absolutely luxurious; if they can't even take down the Frostwest Empire, then it's somewhat unacceptable.
Taking advantage of this free time, I can properly manage Great Liang, adding cultural depth and improving its economic level, which would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial.
After all, other countries are at war, so Great Liang can secretly develop and improve its shortcomings.
With this shift in power dynamics, other countries will be dragged down by the war, while the Great Liang will only grow stronger. This is the true strategy for governing a nation.
science and technology!
economy!
culture!
agriculture!
These pieces of information flashed through Lin Yi's mind one by one. Now that these necessary factors have been basically arranged, all that's left is time for them to brew and ferment.
Forcibly intervening would be counterproductive, as taking too big a step can lead to problems.
However, while the strategy is sound, the implementation of the policy still needs to be given due attention; otherwise, various problems will inevitably arise.
Good policies are one thing, but whether they can be implemented to benefit ordinary people is another.
If lower-level officials outwardly comply but inwardly defy, or misunderstand the policies, it will have a huge impact. Great Liang wants to truly achieve stability and prosperity, it cannot just rely on slogans; it needs to take concrete actions.
Slogans are meaningless; only real benefits that reach the people are true welfare.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but mutter, "Although there's the oversight of the Net and the publicity from the newspapers, there's still a certain distance. We absolutely have to get on board."
"Check the box?"
Hearing Lin Yi's murmur, Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat. What did the Emperor mean by this? Was he about to get involved in something lewd?
Is the Emperor thinking about women?
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, there are only a handful of concubines in the harem now. Would you like me to help search for beauties in various places?"
Although the Net is a weapon, it can still be used as a pimp in front of the emperor.
For the Emperor, we have no choice but to go!
"Get lost! That's not what I meant by 'hook it on'!"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. This guy used to be a great hero, but now his mind has been corrupted; he's even thinking about that kind of thing.
He said irritably, "What I mean is that, regarding the implementation of the policies in Great Liang, although it is monitored by the Net ) and publicized in the newspapers, something is still missing?"
How should I put it?
It makes you feel like you're high above everyone else, completely disconnected from everything below, which feels a bit detached from reality.
"Forehead..."
Wang Yue was speechless. He was good at killing, but asking him to think about these policies was simply asking him a difficult question.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him, not expecting him to come up with anything, and instead started to plan on his own.
Huh!
At this moment, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered a shrewd business maneuver from his previous life, and an idea immediately came to him.
Home appliances to the countryside!
The "Home Appliances to the Countryside" program initially created a huge market and almost single-handedly saved the country's economic downturn.
What does this mean? It means this product is reliable.
Only by truly connecting with ordinary people can one understand their needs and their potential, which can often be truly astonishing.
However, extending imperial power to the countryside would be somewhat exhausting for the emperor. But he could simply change his approach and have the common people come to him.
Thus, a product that would later become famous appeared in Lin Yi's mind: allowing people from various counties to participate in the Grand Court Assembly!
Although this wasn't a case of imperial power extending to the countryside, it was still commoners entering the capital.
It allows ordinary people to connect with the government, providing a platform for communication between the two sides, and incidentally, it also allows the emperor to assert his presence—there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Thinking of this, he picked up the paper and pen beside him and wrote a line of words with a flourish.
[A massive joint assembly of representatives from the counties and prefectures of Great Liang ]
Although the name is extremely long, its meaning is clear at a glance: it refers to a grand court assembly in which representatives are selected from all the counties and prefectures of Great Liang Dynasty.
The court selected respected and virtuous individuals from each prefecture, as well as those with special contributions and high moral character, to attend a grand court assembly.
These people represent the local will, and the imperial court can adjust policies at any time during communication, which undoubtedly makes the policies more rational.
But it's not a big problem; in fact, it's quite effective.
Thinking of this, he asked Wang Yue to summon Xun Yu and Chen Qun, and handed them the massive court assembly outline he was holding.
While we're certain this thing is useful, we still need to refine how to operate it, and we can also add strategies that are more in line with the times.
"A mega-grand assembly?"
Xun Yu and his companion were taken aback when they saw the grand court assembly outline before them. The Emperor was actually going to make such a big fuss; this was definitely a super-grand undertaking.
The Great Liang is now incredibly vast. If all the prefectures and counties send representatives, the number of people at this grand court assembly will be at least over ten thousand, and possibly even more.
However, after carefully examining the notes, the two were immediately struck by the Emperor's innovative thinking.
"Your Majesty is truly generous. Although this grand court assembly is fraught with risks, once it is realized, the people will surely be eternally grateful to Your Majesty!" Xun Yu said with a smile.
Although this grand court assembly consumes a lot of resources, it gives ordinary people a channel to voice their opinions, and the people are naturally very grateful.
Chen Qun nodded slightly, and said with some solemnity, "In this way, we can prevent local officials from forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices, and we can also prevent them from amassing their own armies. All of this can be reported to the imperial court immediately."
The only problem, I'm afraid, is that it will damage the Emperor's authority, and that...
Damaged prestige?
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, then realized that in this day and age, power and prestige not only lay in high position and authority, but also in being aloof, mysterious, and unpredictable.
If the emperor appears too often in the public eye, it will naturally make people realize that the emperor is also just a mortal, which will more or less affect the emperor's prestige. That's why Chen Qun said that.
He smiled and shook his head, saying confidently, "I am the Emperor of Great Liang, a powerful figure in this world. Why would I rely on mystery to make myself stronger?"
As he spoke, he grasped the indigo inkstone on one side.
The next moment, he tightened his grip slightly.
Under the horrified gazes of Chen Qun Xun Yu, the indigo ink, as hard as stone, crumbled into dust in Lin Yi's hand, scattering across the ground.
Holy crap!
Chen Qun's pupils contracted, and he chuckled dryly, "Alright, I was overthinking it. Your Majesty is no ordinary man; you will only earn the respect of the people of the All Under Heaven even more!"
