Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 239

After reaching an agreement on the simplification of etiquette and law, Chen Yunfu did not continue down, but announced a temporary break, and everyone went to the side hall for lunch.

"Old Qi Ge, Benfu hopes that you will discuss the matter in the future and don't make some stupid mistakes again."

Qi De, who was packing up the pens and papers in front of him, heard Chen Yunfu's words, his face flushed with anger, and he slammed his palm on the table after Chen Yunfu left.

What Chen Yunfu did was simply deceiving people too much.

Yes, it's true that you hold more than half of the votes in the cabinet, and you won too. How could Zide bear such ridicule.

"You can only work for ten years at best, after ten years, I will not let you go!"

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Shao Zhi walked beside Chen Yunfu, and said in a low voice, "Yunfu, if this happens, Qi De will go against you in everything."

"Fighting against me is the only value of his life."

Chen Yunfu said calmly: "Only by fighting against me can he be saved, I can be saved, and Da Ming can be saved."

Shao Zhi stopped involuntarily.

Shao Zhi can understand the first meaning of this sentence.

After all, Qi De's superior model is the enemy Zhu Yuanzhang left behind to restrain Chen Yunfu. When Qi De does not oppose Chen Yunfu, then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely intervene and replace him.

Therefore, it is understandable for Shao Zhi to be rescued by Qi De when he is against Chen Yunfu.

Then why do you say that Chen Yunfu can only be saved when they are against each other?
If Zhu Yuanzhang wants Chen Yunfu's life, it doesn't matter to Zhu Yuanzhang whether there is someone against Chen Yunfu or not. Turning the table and shuffling the cards is Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest privilege.

Shao Zhi couldn't understand the last meaning even more.

What does Daming have to save?
What the hell is my son-in-law planning.

"Old Shao Ge?"

Huang Ting saw that Shao Zhi was still not moving, so he called out, which made Shao Zhi shiver, and immediately came back to his senses.

"It's okay, let's go."

Shao Zhi's meal was boring, and he had too much confusion in his heart, so he found Chen Yunfu after the meal to find out, but Chen Yunfu only replied to him.

"It's almost ten years at most, and it doesn't even take ten years."

Ten years happened to be the term Chen Yunfu fought for from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Shao Zhi has no chance to ask any more questions, because the cabinet will continue to start on time.

"It's time for the third topic. Next year, the central government will directly manage the budget of each yamen."

The Ming Dynasty did not call it a financial budget, but called it a fund. Lao Chen himself yelled it out of his mouth, and followed suit, so the court followed suit.

"Has the Ministry of Household Affairs' financial revenue statistics for this year been completed?"

Ge Xun, Minister of the Household Department, stood up, handed over a memorial that he had prepared long ago, and the servant handed it to Chen Yunfu.

Seeing this memorial, Qi De's eyelids jumped several times.

At this time, Qi De discovered that Chen Yunfu had gotten through with many people in today's cabinet office meeting, possibly as early as a few days ago.

Otherwise, how could they be so well prepared.

Chen Yunfu opened the memorabilia of the Ministry of Household Affairs, looked up after reading it with a smile.

"I'd like to report good news to you all. This year, 910 shi of tax grains have been put into storage, and 68 ingots of tax bills, totaling [-] taels.

Silk cloth 28 seven pieces, tax silver 480 million taels.

As for other taxes such as salt tax, iron tax, etc., they have not yet been discounted. Generally speaking, this year, our Ming Dynasty has another bumper harvest. Congratulations, congratulations. "

Nearly 3000 million shi of grain tax, several million taels of silver and 30 bolts of silk cloth.

Maybe not rich, but practical and adequate.

"Under such a low tax environment in the Ming Dynasty, the country can still collect such a large amount of grain tax, distribution tax, commercial tax and other taxes. What does it mean? It means that more production is produced, and more production means employment. There are many jobs, which means that everyone has land to plant and that the price of goods will not be high.”

Chen Yunfu laughed from the bottom of his heart: "This year the court will have a good year, and the common people will also have a good year. Haha, it's a great thing."

Everyone also showed a comfortable and relaxed smile.

"In this way, the budget that the cabinet can give to each yamen can be higher."

With money in his pocket, Chen Yunfu was confident, and said with a big hand.

"The yamen can pay their bills."

After the six ministries and five temples and other central organizations looked at each other, they began to open their mouths one after another.

The first to take the lead turned out to be the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which Chen Yunfu did not expect.

"The new Daming law has been edited and copied to the whole country. What is also needed is the selection of officials to go to the prefectures and counties to read it out.

In addition, the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the prison, and there are more than 4 prisoners in custody. The daily food and drink are also expenses. According to the budget of the previous year, 20 people would have to eat nearly 50 taels a year, plus some daily expenses of the Ministry of Punishment. Expenses, about [-] taels. "

Chen Yunfu was not in a hurry to give a statement of yes or no, but asked: "Are the detainees in the Ministry of Punishment engaged in production?"

Zhang Wei said inexplicably: "Generally, detainees are minor offenders, and they are usually released within a year or so. Their production can't keep up with the busy farming."

Chen Yunfu almost forgot.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as labor reform, but in the Ming Dynasty, there were assassination and exile and border guards.

Many serious criminals, in fact, are robbers and robbers. Basically, after they are caught, their faces are tattooed and they are sent to the border.

Although it is said that it is ten or 20 years, basically it will not come back in this life.

Either die in the frontier, or simply settle down there.

But more still escaped.

The frontier is in a state of chaos, and it is not easy to escape when a war breaks out. Even if you have a tattoo on your face and you cannot escape back to the country, you can always find a deserted place in the frontier to get up and shed grass.

Therefore, it is even a good thing for those prisoners to be exiled.

As long as you fight, you can find opportunities to walk away.

In this way, this penalty has to be changed, and by the way, it can also generate some income for the country.

People make the best use of them, and if they do something wrong, they have to accept corresponding punishment.

Chen Yunfu had an idea in his mind, but he didn't make up his mind to bring it to the cabinet office meeting.

Whether it can be changed and how to change it, how to convert the specific sentence of labor reform from the abolition of assassination, is a matter for the consideration of the Three Law Departments.

Chen Yunfu, the joint meeting of the three judicial divisions, made a good start, which can be kept in the future.

When the three judiciaries have finished discussing and come up with the terms, it will not be too late for Chen Yunfu to formally confirm through the cabinet meeting.

Now that he thinks about it, he said that Terer is not responsible enough.

"Okay, write down the budget of the Ministry of Punishment first, and after all the yamen have submitted their reports, we will discuss and vote collectively."

After Chen Yunfu wrote down the six words 'Department of Criminal Justice, 50 taels' on the notebook in front of him, he motioned for the meeting to continue.

At this time, a servant came in, whispered something in Chen Yunfu's ear, and Chen Yunfu stood up.

"You guys continue the meeting. His Majesty summoned me. Benfu will go first. Sizong, after all the yamen's budgets for next year have been reported, if Benfu hasn't come back, I will order someone to bring the budget to Benfu, and Benfu will vote by word of mouth. "

"Yes."

Stepping away from the Wenhua Palace, Chen Yunfu was confused all the way.

This is a meeting, and the big brother suddenly asked me what to do.

I don't remember what happened recently.
