Borrow the day to change the day

() "Your Majesty, the minister's method is to work together, and the monarch and ministers will work together to overcome this difficult period."

"How?"

"First, in the name of the imperial court, go out to everyone in the capital, including scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, etc., to explain the current difficulties the imperial court is facing, and the difficulties and dangers of the people in the refugee camps, and call on everyone in the capital to make a strong contribution. If you have money, donate money to help the imperial court and help the refugees get through this hurdle."

"Your Majesty, this action will damage the court's face." Cheng Ji ordered to play again.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, and Emperor Chongzhen made a clear distinction between face and life.He said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, please continue."

<The people who need to work and the kind of work they need, and then match them, so that the people who need to work after the spring will sign a labor contract with the corresponding refugees in advance, oh, the contract.Help the refugees get through this harsh winter first, and then pay back the previous efforts of the workers in exchange for work.Of course, if the imperial court has the ability, it can also provide partial subsidies to the employing workers, or give other preferential policies. "

"Anymore?"

"Third, if there is no need for employment, you can also donate according to your own ability. It can be money or in kind, such as food, clothing, etc."

"Who will collect the charitable donations, and how can we ensure that they reach the refugees they need?" Wen Tiren asked Zhong Jinwei.

Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased to see that Wen Tiren spoke out to question the loopholes in Zhong Jinwei's method, so that this method could be perfected, instead of only opposing and attacking like some people.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Wen Tiren, who was asking questions with approval on his face, and nodded slightly, expressing his understanding: "Maybe the imperial court organizes a special person to accept it, and the accounts must be transparent and published regularly, such as once a day, so that the donors can clearly understand You must know where your donations are going. It is best to have someone from another department supervise the organization that accepts donations.”

Zhong Jinwei's method is just to let the imperial court take the lead and let the people become the main force of disaster relief. For these people present, there seems to be no conflict of interest. Compared with the previous method, there is a world of difference, so naturally no one objected.

Therefore, as soon as Zhong Jinwei's words fell, no one made a sound, and the Wenhua Palace fell silent again.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that there was finally a solution that all the officials could accept, and he liked it in his heart. He looked at the bottom and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

After a while of silence, Sun Chengzong, who was still in charge of military affairs, left his shift: "The employment of labor that Uncle Zhongxing said does not mean that all refugees have the ability to work. How should we deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled?"

"Well, I think it's time for everyone to contribute. There are so many officials in the capital, honorable ones, and each mansion adopts a few to support them. Doing what they can, there should be no pressure? Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Master Zhong is right. All the ministers should be well aware of the court's difficulties. First, the common people have already contributed. If all the ministers and workers just watch the play, the common people have no objection, but I will never agree!" Later, Emperor Chongzhen raised his voice, and immediately, the words that he would never agree echoed in the hall, as if repeated several times.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of another incident, and added: "The court is so difficult that the common people are required to help the disaster. If anyone wants to spend extravagantly during this period, I will never forgive him lightly!"

Emperor Chongzhen spoke firmly and forcefully, and his determination was fully revealed. The courtiers under him did not dare to speak out for a while, let alone object.

After a while, Wen Tiren came out and said: "Your Majesty, temples and Taoist temples do not need to pay taxes on weekdays, but they must also claim the elderly and weak."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded.Then he asked: "All ministers, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, is there a time limit for claiming it?" Li Biao, the subordinate minister, asked. He meant that he couldn't support it for a lifetime.

There is no need for Zhong Jinwei to answer this. Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then said: "Wait until the weather gets warmer next year and the Jiankui retreat."

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he waited for a while, and no one else spoke again, so he made a conclusion: "Since all the ministers and workers no longer have opinions, let's discuss the detailed rules together, Master Zhong, you take the lead."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen named him, Zhong Jinwei was not dissatisfied. He came up with his own idea, so of course he took the lead.

So, he said: "There are several key points in this method. First, who will write the notice to the people in the capital and how to write it. Second, who will lead the organization that accepts the donation, how it will operate, and who will supervise it. .Third, who will follow up and supervise whether the hired workers and the claimed people will be treated inhumanely?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and asked Zhong Jinwei, "What does Master Zhong think?"

Zhong Jinwei was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, I am not good at writing notices. I really can't write this."

Emperor Chongzhen was secretly amused, but he didn't show it. Instead, he turned his head and asked, "Which minister is here to write this announcement?"

Wen Tiren looked to the left and right, and said when he came back to the class: "I would like to write."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Very good." Then he looked at Zhong Jinwei, which means that the problem of writing the notice has been solved, and you continue to talk.

"This organization that accepts donations, I suggest that Jin Yiwei should be in charge, and Dongchang will supervise."

What, these two fierce tigers have only been imprisoned for a short time, how can they be released, the ministers below can't hold back anymore, and they have come out to protest.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty, the factory guards are fierce, and this delicate work may not be suitable."

"Your Majesty, it is enough for the Ministry of Industry to organize this matter."

"Your Majesty, it is very appropriate for the Ministry of Household Affairs to organize this matter."

"Your Majesty, it can be supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"His Majesty,......"

All of a sudden, all the ministers offered advice and suggestions, but the central idea was only one, and the factory guards continued to rest. We can do this ourselves, so we dare not bother.

At this time, Sun Chengzong and Wen Tiren didn't fight with them either, and just watched from the sidelines by default.

Standing on the sidelines, Wang Cheng'en, Duke of Dongchangchang, watched the violent opposition of these civil servants, and secretly gritted his teeth in hatred.

Zhong Jinwei saw that the resistance of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to come out of the mountain again would not be small!

Emperor Chongzhen also frowned and thought about this issue, and he was not annoyed by the commotion underneath, just thinking about it on his throne.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the imperial table, and said: "My intention, let the Ministry of Households send a special person to handle this matter, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate sends a censor to supervise."

Hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and all praised the emperor for his wisdom.

Now, Zhong Jinwei couldn't understand why Emperor Chongzhen didn't agree to release the factory guard again, so he had to have a detailed chat with him later.

With the conclusion, the hall gradually calmed down. The third question was actually not a problem. Based on the conclusion of the second question, Zhong Jinwei directly said that the censor could follow up.Others will naturally have no opinion.

After discussing this issue, it was getting late, Emperor Chongzhen was going to adjourn the meeting, and the officials were also going to go home.

When Zhong Jinwei saw the situation, he became anxious and shouted: "Everyone, wait."

When Emperor Chongzhen and his officials heard this, they all looked at Zhong Jinwei, not knowing what else he had to do.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be implemented, at least until tomorrow. If it is to be effective, there are at least a few more days. We can wait. The refugees in the refugee camp can't wait. You haven't seen the carloads of dead bodies. Pull it out for cremation. One more day, more refugees will die!" Zhong Jinwei said, and the corpses piled up on the flatbed truck appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help speaking with a little sadness.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. Thanks to himself, he described himself as loving the people like a son, but he didn't think of this level.Wei Wei blushed a little, but he was sitting at the top, and the people below couldn't see clearly.

"I almost forgot, Master Zhong, there is a good plan."

"Your Majesty, you can ask the household department to use the food and charcoal for disaster relief for two days and use it for one day. Use all the later plans first, so that the refugees can eat enough, burn more charcoal, and suffer less cold at night. Live as many people as possible."

"The Minister of the Household."

"The minister is here." Bi Ziyan left the class.

"Did you hear Master Zhong's words?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the old courtier and asked.

"I want to do it right away." Bi Ziyan bowed.

"Very good."

After Bi Ziyan got permission, he took a few steps back, then turned around and strode away. What happened today made him sigh a lot. The hearts of so many pillars of the imperial court who were born as Jinshi are more concerned about the country and the people than a young man who just returned from overseas. Man, I'm really ashamed of myself!

"What else can Master Zhong do?" Emperor Chongzhen asked after Bi Ziyan left.

"No more." Zhong Jinwei said, in fact, he still has something to do, and he just wanted to talk to Emperor Chongzhen alone.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei was finally fine, the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then left the meeting.Only Zhong Jinwei and Wen Tiren remained in the hall.
