Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 238 Mutual criticism
Everyone's eyes once again focused on Qi You's face. Everyone knows the conflict between Qi You and Qi Zhong, and it has always existed in the past few years.Zhong Zhong has always wanted to bring the Yantie Division under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, but Qi You has always held the real power of the Yantie Division, and even the annual salt class and the money raised, the Yantie Division has its own accounts. and warehouse.

Although on the surface, Yantie Division is under the management of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but in fact, Yantie Division is Qi You's private office, how could Zhong Zhong feel comfortable.

In addition, Qi You and Shou Ninghou colluded with each other, Qi Zhong looked at Qi You like a class enemy, and he wanted to kill Qi You for a long time.

The same is true for Qi You in turn. In Qi You's eyes, Qi Zhong is a model of a high-ranking vegetarian in the imperial court. He is a typical example of occupying the latrine and not shitting. People like Qi Zhong should be swept out early, and then put The seat was given to myself. Under such circumstances, the contradiction between the two people was naturally irreconcilable.

It's just that the cabinet and His Majesty suppressed it before, and the contradictions and conflicts between the two did not completely erupt, but this time it was considered a complete eruption.

As Qi You stood up, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. Everyone knew that this was not just an issue between Qi You and Zhong Zhong, nor was it a confrontation between Qi You and Zhong Zhong, but a relationship between two groups. This time the confrontation will directly determine who will be in power in the future court and what kind of policy will be implemented in the court in the future, and the level of the problem will be raised all of a sudden.

If it's just Dai Heng's opinion, if His Majesty disagrees, then it's just an ordinary memorial with no influence and will soon disappear.

Now that Qi You has stepped forward, it is obvious that this is the Xungui Group’s push for Dai Heng’s reforms, and the civil servants are not stupid. The nobles leave a place?For military matters, can you bypass them?Obviously there is no way around it!
If a staff office is established, it means that the nobles have returned to the center of power. This is something that many people do not want to see. How much effort has been spent to drive them out over the years. How can they be brought back so easily?

Of course, some people didn't care about it, instead they thought it was an opportunity. Although no one spoke in the court, the court had secretly split up, and everyone had their own plans.

"Your Majesty, I think that the lack of money and food is an excuse. The imperial court suffers from captivity in northern Xinjiang every year. How many people die in battle every year? How many people of Ming Dynasty are captured? Could it be that they are ignored because of money and food? They are all citizens of Ming Dynasty!" Qi You's words were resounding, and he stood directly from the perspective of righteousness.

"The imperial court has no money, but it can be raised, it can increase income, and it can cut expenditure. I think that before the reform of the military system, it can be raised completely."

Everyone gasped, what is this?This is the general, Qi You's words made Zhong Zhong passive.

If you can't raise money, it's because you are not good enough. You are not qualified as a secretary of the household department.You go down, replace me, do you think I can raise money?Under such circumstances, Zhong Zhong either agrees to come down and let me raise money, or admits that he can't do it and get out as soon as possible.

The hall fell silent immediately, no one expected that Qi You would act so decisively and recklessly this time.The current situation is that if Qi Zhong does not go down, Qi You will go down, and dismissal is unlikely, but it is definitely impossible to escape.Based on Qi You's actions, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit after being released.

"Master Qi, are you thinking too simply?" At this moment, another very rude voice sounded.

Everyone looked over, and it was Hubu's right servant Han Wen who stood up. Obviously this was Hubu's counterattack.

Qi You's popularity in the household department is not good, one reason is that he follows Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, everyone looks down on him, and the other reason is because he holds the Yantie Division, that is a fat job, who would not want to join kick?The most important point is that Qi You is now staring at the seat of Minister of the Household Department. You have to know how many people in the court are staring at this seat?

If Qi You is beaten down, then everyone will have a chance. This is the consensus of everyone, so Han Wen also stood up at this time.

Han Wen, the right servant of the household department, knew very well in his heart that if he really let Qi You take over, then he would definitely have no good fruit for himself.

"The imperial court is short of money and food. This is not a matter of a day or two. In the past few years, because of the salt class and the recognition of money, it has been a little more generous, but the imperial court has more places to use money." Han Wen's tone was also very uncomfortable. Politely: "Where is the construction of water conservancy and disaster relief without money? Most of these years have been given to the Black Dragon Army. Do you want to take it for a few more years?"

"What about other directions? What about disaster relief? River dredging, dam repairs, all of these are not done?"

"As for open source, how to open source? Let the court compete with the people for profit? Or increase taxes? The burden on the people is already heavy enough. If you still compete with the people for profit and increase taxes, how will the people live? Do you have to be everywhere? The big ones are satisfied? The captivity in northern Xinjiang is nothing but a small problem, so why should we disregard the country and society of the Ming Dynasty because of this small problem?"

Zhu Hou looked at Han Wen with admiration in his heart, it is really amazing, everything can be said in a high-sounding way, and it is really a useful big bag to fight with the people, and everything can be put into it.

In fact, Qi You stood up and was still so straightforward. Zhu Houzhao didn't expect it, but he was very pleased and admired Qi You even more. What do you use?You get to go when you should, and if you succeed, you will naturally lose your benefits. If you lose, you will not lose your benefits, and you may be able to use it again in a few years.

"Only those who are incompetent will think of raising taxes, and only then will they think of competing for profits with the people." Qi You glanced at the Korean text with disdain, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

Zhu Hou took care of Qi You, good guy, this is cruel enough, and directly labeled Han Wen as incompetent.Zhu Houzhao has seen it today. These civil servants of Ming Dynasty are really ruthless when they quarrel, and it sounds like everyone has a point.

"What's the use of talking but not practicing? Master Qi, if you have an idea, you can say it. You can only satirize others, which is not what a gentleman does." However, it is not the way of a minister to present it to the king, but to attack his colleagues."
