Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 428: The court is discussing the amendment of the financial regulations, and everyone has different opinions and thoughts (Part )
The dawn light just pierced through the darkness, casting the first ray of light on the magnificent palace complex of Yingtian Prefecture.

In the morning light, the vermilion palace walls glow with an ancient and solemn luster, as if telling the majesty and glory of the Ming Dynasty.

Above the court, a huge dragon-shaped pillar stands tall.

The intricately carved dragon pattern looks lifelike, as if it will break free from the pillars and take off at any time.

The air in the hall was a little stuffy, even though several carved windows had been opened.

But the slight breeze that came in still couldn't dispel the heavy atmosphere.

The new Minister of Rites, Li Shuzheng, had a relatively peaceful expression on his face, but now it seemed as if he was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.

The look of displeasure was so intense that it was enough to squeeze water out of it.

I saw his eyebrows raised high, like two sharp swords piercing the sky.

His eyes widened as if he had heard something shocking and outrageous, and his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets.

Li Shuzheng suddenly snorted from his nose, and the sound was quite loud.

In the court, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

In an instant, it was as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

This attracted many people's attention, with curiosity and confusion in their eyes.

Then Uncle Li turned his head away suddenly like an enraged bull.

He waved the imperial scepter in his hand, which symbolized his status and responsibilities, at his colleagues beside him, and shouted in a loud voice with obvious dissatisfaction: "Humph! His Highness the Prince of Jin is really young and full of vigor, and he has no idea of ​​his own limitations!
When it comes to financial matters, there have always been rules set by our ancestors.

That is something that has been considered and deliberated for generations, how can it be changed so easily? "

Li Shuzheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his saliva almost splashed out.

"If we set the time, won't it be a mess?

The rules of our court were established by the ancestors of the Chinese nation after countless generations and painstaking efforts.

That is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. How can we trample on it at will?

Humph, I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin thinks too simply.

You don't even consider your own weight, yet you dare to speak nonsense in the court. Do you really think the court affairs are just children's play?"

After saying this, Li Shuzheng shook his head with great disdain, as if he had foreseen that Zhu Gang's method would bring about many troubles like a flood or a beast.

It can turn the Ming Dynasty's court upside down.

At the same time, Li Shuzheng's body began to sway slightly.

As he swayed, he kept pounding the ground with the imperial scepter in his hand.

It seemed that only in this way could Li Shuzheng make the momentum in his words more powerful and better express the resentment in his heart.

Zhu Gang frowned slightly when he saw this. He knew in his heart that Li Shuzheng was not someone to be trifled with.

As early as when Li Shuzheng was serving as the Censor-in-Chief and sent to Lingnan, he had argued and defended the impeached prefect.

For this matter, he also ruthlessly punished a government official for false accusation, and was regarded as a man of temper and principles in the officialdom.

But Zhu Gang changed his mind and realized that this Minister of Rites, who had just returned to Yingtian Prefecture at the end of the 13th year of Hongwu, would die in office soon.

Why should you bother yourself with the verbal offense of a dying person?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gang sighed secretly and silently suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

In contrast, Tang Duo, the newly appointed Minister of War who was reappointed by Zhu Yuanzhang just after completing the mourning period, had a thoughtful look on his face.

Tang Duo's weather-beaten face now showed a calm and reserved look. The traces of time carved on Tang Duo's face seemed to tell of his legendary experiences in following Zhu Yuanzhang in his battles.

As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang first started his army, Tang Duo served by his side and was truly loyal.

Tang Duo had participated in a series of major battles, including the garrisoning of Haozhou and the pacification of Jiangzhou. He had personally experienced the gleaming swords and bloody storms on the battlefield.

It is also for this reason that Tang Duo is well aware of the importance of logistical support to military operations.

The financial situation is closely related to logistics, just like fish and water, neither of which can be missing.

So when Zhu Gang proposed the idea of ​​making the allocation of funds flexible, Tang Duo did not jump up to oppose it like Li Shuzheng did, but fell into deep thought.

After a moment's silence, Tang Duo slowly raised his head, his eyes deep and solemn.

He slowly said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, the method you proposed for allocating funds is indeed somewhat desirable from a military perspective.

When we, the Ming Dynasty, conquered many lands, it was all thanks to the brave soldiers fighting on the front lines.

And this logistical support is their solid backing and is of vital importance.

Only by properly allocating funds can the soldiers fight without worries, and only in this way can we ensure the stability of our Ming Dynasty."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Having said this, Tang Duo paused slightly.

He sighed softly and continued, "It's just that when it comes to finances, one move affects the entire body.

In this court, the interests of all parties are intertwined.

Just like a huge and complex spider web, any change in any part may cause a shock to the entire court.

Therefore, other changes must also be carefully considered and not act rashly."

Zhu Gang's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Minister Tang is right. I also know that I need to be extremely careful in this matter.

It’s just that the current situation forces us to do so, and the old system is no longer suitable, so we have to come up with these methods.

I hope you can give me more advice, I am all ears. "

Han Yike, the chief minister of the trial cabinet, who had remained silent until then, suddenly stood up.

Han Yike always had a faint smile on her face. She seemed calm, but there was an elusive depth in her eyes.

It was as if there were endless whirlpools hidden beneath the calm surface of the lake, making it impossible to see what he was really thinking.

Han Yike walked forward slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Your Highness Prince Jin, I can understand your good intentions.

But this financial matter concerns the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

It is indeed as you all said, we need to be cautious.

Although the method proposed by Your Highness this time is novel, it still needs to go through many steps such as detailed demonstration and pilot implementation before it can be determined whether it is feasible.

I wonder if Your Highness has considered this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gang hurriedly replied, "Lord Han is right in reminding me, and I do have this in mind.

I want to implement it on a pilot basis in some local areas first to see the results and then make further plans.

I hope Mr. Han and other adults will supervise me. If there is anything inappropriate, please feel free to give me your advice. "

Han Yike nodded slightly, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but her eyes became deeper.

He said softly: "That's great, I hope your Highness's move can bring new vitality to the finances of our Ming Dynasty, rather than adding to the troubles!
Everything in the court is complicated, and one small move can affect the entire body.

Any new measures should be implemented with caution.”
