Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 425 The emperor is happy with the people’s gain

The increase in revenue and expenditure reduction can be promoted jointly. Since there are problems with Ming Dynasty's central finance, then we should increase revenue and reduce expenditure at the same time, split them into two tasks, and hand them over to two sets of teams.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao only needs to control the general direction, and when it comes to the corresponding details, he will anchor it to the corresponding people or officials and let them draft charters, formulate rules, and improve systems. If he does a good job With rewards and punishments for poor performance, and with well-divided interests, Zhu Youxiao did not find things difficult to accomplish.

During this period, if there are individuals or groups who dare to cross the red line to seek huge profits, then they will be severely punished if caught, which will serve as a warning to the monkeys. Zhu Youxiao does not believe that anyone will remain stubborn.

No matter how hard your neck is, can it be strong enough to withstand a knife?

After discussing with Bi Ziyan the matters involving various matters in the North, Zhu Youxiao asked Bi Ziyan to propose at the cabinet meeting that since it is a responsible cabinet, it must shoulder certain responsibilities and burdens and cannot do everything. Trouble the emperor.

But this matter.

Although Bi Ziyan proposed it, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it must be the emperor's intention. After all, the intention was too obvious.

"Mr. Qian Ge, regarding the affairs of the Northland, what does the cabinet mean?"

In a club somewhere.

Zou Yuanbiao looked serious, looked at Qian Qianyi who was sitting in the chair, and said in a low tone: "Even if the imperial court wants to reopen the Guanguan, it should be done by a department head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and a local government office should be set up to control the Guanguan. Now Okay, it’s up to the head of the Zongren Mansion to take over. Every year, the Zongren Mansion transfers the tax collection money to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and also invites the so-called new batch of nobles to participate. This has never been done before in our dynasty!"

"Yes!"

Gao Panlong followed closely and said: "Even if the emperor relies on his honors and nobles, he must have a certain limit. There were so many turmoils caused by the Thirteenth Industry before. Now, in Tianjin, not only food prices have risen, but land prices have also risen. Yes, this is caused by the greed of the nobles. If things continue like this, will the common people still have a way to survive?"

"Can't a Tianjin Thirteenth Bank satisfy your noble appetite?"

Lao Changqi snorted coldly: "Yes, the purpose of reopening the Beidi Queguan is to increase the revenue of the treasury, but the current problem is that except for the Liaodong Queguan, the other Queguan will be controlled by nobles. This will not only affect the government but also the people." It’s definitely not a good thing!”

Qian Qianyi, who was leaning on the official hat chair, felt dizzy when he heard these remarks. To be honest, he really didn't know what to do now.

Not to mention how much commotion was caused between the government and the public and how fierce the public opinion was due to the incident of Emperor Ming Zongjun, the crux of the problem was that the emperor ignored it from beginning to end. Regardless of how intense the quarrel was, the emperor seemed not to see it. Usually, this is a big trouble.

Regardless of whether they are counselors or attachés, the officials in the South Study Room are all eloquent regardless of their rank. Some of the ideas they put forward are so novel that even many Qingliu have no way to start, which has led to this matter never being discussed. Big improvement.

There is no definite conclusion on this matter yet.

Cui Chengxiu led the Integrity Council to leave Beijing and go to Shandong.

Check water transportation.

This matter is not only a headache for the Qi Party, but also for the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party. As long as it is related to water transportation, grain and silver, there will be headaches.

According to common sense, we should try to resolve this matter first, and don't let anything else come up. But then Bi Ziyan proposed reopening the matter in the cabinet.

The key is that this question is completely different from the previous one.

big head!

Headache!

Nowadays, the civil servants in foreign countries, especially those from various parties and factions, are faced with such a situation and don't know what to do.

Never encountered it. Who can bear it when the emperor doesn't act according to common sense?

"This matter has been debated in the cabinet for several days, and the final decision has not been made yet."

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi sighed softly, looked at the people in front of him and said: "But the problem now is that the emperor has started to select officials from the Shaofu Yousi, saying that he will add them to the clan's house."

"What qualifications do a bunch of ministers have to enter the sect's mansion!"

Zou Yuanbiao frowned and said: "The Zong's Mansion is such an important existence, how can we let these ignorant and unskilled people enter the Zong's Mansion as officials?"

Qian Qianyi wanted to laugh after hearing this.

Was the clan mansion important in the past?

It's Qingshui Yamen.

Perhaps he was in charge of the vassal clan in name, but the specific duties of the clan were handled by foreign officials.

That is to say, the emperor used Sichuan Gui to quell the rebellion, stopped and restricted the payment of Zonglu, and also planned to establish the Emperor Mingzong Army in the name of the Zongren Mansion.

This made it clear to many people that the clan mansion would be different from now on.

And this time the Beidi Customs was to be reopened, and the clan government was asked to take charge of the matter personally, which strengthened some people's ideas.

But the crux of the problem now is that the Zongren Mansion was short of many officials in the past. The emperor directly bypassed the staff and selected a group of people to join the Zongren Mansion in the name of special promotion. This left many people helpless. talk.

To say too much, the hat of wanting to get involved in the sect's clan has been taken off.

To say the least, a large number of officials came in to replace them. The affairs of the Northern Territory, and even the affairs of the Emperor Mingzong's army, were directly controlled by the emperor through the Zongren Mansion.

A new money bag, a new gun barrel.

"This matter must be reported to Shugui!"

Liu Zongzhou, who had been silent all this time, frowned and said: "The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty has been established for a long time. What the emperor is doing now is clearly violating the ancestral system. If this continues, won't the patriarchal etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty be in vain? Isn't the legal authority of the imperial court Isn’t this a joke?”

"When the cabinet discussed this matter in the past, how many of the imperial censors and officials in Ke Dao were neglected?"

Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Zongzhou and said: "There are even a lot of people in the department, but what's the result? The Palace of Qianqing didn't respond at all. Even the ministers in the cabinet wanted to see the emperor, but they were all rejected by the emperor, saying that there were no votes in the various passes in the north. Before the result, I will not summon the ministers."

There is silence.

As officials in the DPRK, how could they not know this? What they even learned was far more than what Qian Qianyi said.

Jinshang lives deep in Qianqing Palace, unlike Emperor Shenzong. A batch of memorials are submitted to the emperor every day, and many people are summoned every day. But the key to the problem is what Jinshang does or does not do, which is completely unclear, and After a while, there will be trouble.

At present, the Sichuan Guiyang rebellion has lost its popularity in the government. Unlike before, many deployments and arrangements for the Sichuan Guiyang rebellion are being carried out step by step.

"The emperor likes to seize profits from the people. This is definitely not a blessing for the government and the people!" Under this situation, Zou Yuanbiao said sadly: "Are we just going to watch helplessly like this?"
