Chapter 52 The virtuous do not shy away from relatives

In the Baohe Palace, the six ministers headed by Chu Xiang had already finished reading Shu Hongxuan's volume, and in addition to Chu Xiang, even Yang Yixian, the second assistant, also showed surprise on his face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's really impossible for them not to be surprised, Shu Hongxuan's strategy question and answer sheet, the content in it is simply a change, or a change with little resistance.

For the powerful, to re-measure the land and pay more taxes is tantamount to tearing off a large piece of meat from them, of course, it will hurt the heart, but for the common people, it is a great good thing.

At least there are fewer excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and the officials below can no longer use this to set up a name.

And in the energetic family in Shangjing, he more or less knows some of Emperor Chengde's temperament, and when he doesn't care, as long as it is not a crime, he will not care if you toss more; If he is unhappy one day, he has to worry about it, and he can only pray that it will not happen to him.

Clearly, the temple was a wake-up call, and he was tired of the silverfish's insatiable appetite for his things, the possession of his fields, and the lack of money in his treasury.

If the cabinet can't give him a good solution, Emperor Chengde will raise the butcher's knife, usually Emperor Chengde rarely cares about people, but when he cares, many are no longer people, and the grass in front of the grave has grown to knees high.

No matter how good the emperor is, he is still the emperor, and the power of life and death is not a joke.

At least at the beginning of the palace exam, Chu Xiang was not distracted to look at the students at all, but was thinking about how to solve this problem. He was ready to vomit out the land that his family had privately bought and sold all these years, and it was a full three hundred! They are all bought to make dowries for the younger generations of the family, and after he goes to the immortals, the family property is divided.

When I think about it, my heart, liver, spleen and lungs hurt so much that I can't breathe.

Farm production is important, but life is even more important. So Chu Xiang was ready for heavy bleeding, until he was pulled by Emperor Chengde to see Shu Hongxuan's scrolls.

At that moment, it really felt like the peaks were turning around, and in Shu Hongxuan's volume, the method proposed was not to recover the extra land and turn those fields into public land for the royal family, but to pay taxes!

As long as you pay the tax, it is equivalent to crossing the clear road! The field restriction order is no longer a knife on their heads!

As long as Emperor Chengde uses this method, it is equivalent to Emperor Chengde himself recognizing the extra land of their family!

Isn't it just taxes? Deliver! As long as it's not too much silver, they will pay as much as they want!

At this moment, it was not Emperor Chengde who wanted to urgently implement Shu Hongxuan's method, but the cabinet ministers.

In addition to Zhou Jingming and Xu Dehai, the other four cabinet ministers have a good impression of Shu Hongxuan in their hearts!

This method of crossing the road of private land is indeed natural to safeguard the interests of their magnates.

This young man's name is Shu Hongxuan, right, if there are two fools who can't understand the benefits, but want to trouble Shu Hongxuan, they will let those fools know that they are behind Shu Hongxuan!

In particular, the left servant of Shangshu in the cabinet ministers, Xia Qing. He is responsible for managing the three departments of officials, households, and rituals, and as soon as his mind turns, he can understand the benefits of this change to the household department, and his hands holding the scroll are shaking!

Xia Qing only wanted to let Emperor Chengde decree the implementation of tax reform now, God knows that he had several gray hairs for the silver of the treasury.

However, Emperor Chengde was still willful to build a palace some time ago, and I don't know how much saliva it took him, and he persuaded and persuaded him bitterly, so that Emperor Chengde temporarily put a break from this unreliable mind.

The ceremonial official was very anxious, the palace people here had pasted the names and origins of the students' papers, and they were waiting for a few adults to approve the papers, why did they all revolve around a volume? The hour is not early, and if you wait any longer, it will be dark.

The ceremonial official gritted his teeth, grabbed a gap in the stall, and looked at Emperor Chengde who didn't say a word, and when the six ministers didn't speak, he said nervously: "Your Majesty, the palace test papers have been sorted out." ”

The implication is, six adults, you should roll up your sleeves and start grading! Finish things early and go home early, I got up before dawn in the small day, so I can't go home even when it's dark today?

Then, all eight pairs of eyes were staring at the ceremonial officer.

The ceremonial official's face stiffened, and the six pairs of eyes belonged to the six ministers, and one pair belonged to Emperor Chengde, so Cai San had to be a eunuch for what kind of fun?

Of course, such a disrespectful word, the official did not dare to reveal it in front of anyone, he could only stiffen his face, face the blazing gaze, and remain motionless.

Chu Xiang coughed lightly, "Let's read the papers first." "Let's see if there are any other students who have a better way.

Prime Minister Chu bowed to Emperor Chengde, walked to the side and sat down behind the table and chairs that had been set up, and began to pick up the paper for review.

The other five ministers also saluted, each sitting in his own place, and carefully inspected.

In less than an hour, all the hundreds of volumes were approved, and each volume had at least three different ministers who had reviewed it, the first-class volume was circled, the second-class volume was marked, and the third-class volume was directly crossed.

Finally, the first-class volume was presented to Emperor Chengde for reading.

Emperor Chengde also looked very seriously, and finally presented only five copies of the first-class volume, each of which he carefully read, and finally looked at the six subordinates he relied on the most, and asked with a pleasant face: "Everyone, Aiqing, I believe you have all read the first-class volume, so do you think, which of the students of this subject deserves to get the first place?" ”

After a moment of silence, Zhou Jingming came out of the crowd and said very firmly: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, Shu Hongxuan, the head of this department, deserves his name. ”

Emperor Chengde glanced at Zhou Jingming playfully, and his tone was unpredictable: "I remember, Shu Hongxuan is your father's closed little disciple?" ”

In just two hours, Emperor Chengde already knew about Shu Hongxuan's experience in the past fifteen years, and when he learned that Shu Hongxuan was the eldest son of Guangping Hou, he thought about it in his mind, and still couldn't remember what Guangping Hou looked like, but Emperor Chengde didn't care, he just needed to know what Shu Hongxuan looked like.

Zhou Jingming's expression was calm, without the slightest panic, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is a virtuous man who does not avoid relatives." ”

Emperor Chengde laughed and nodded Zhou Jingming with his hand, "What a virtuous person who doesn't shy away from relatives!" ”

Turning his head, he looked at the other five ministers: "What do you think?" ”

Xia Qing was the first to say: "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhou said is very reasonable, and the minister seconded it." ”

The remaining four people, including Chu Xiang, all said in unison, "Seconded." ”

In fact, those of them who have been serving Emperor Chengde for a long time know that Emperor Chengde has already chosen the champion in his mind, but he just symbolically asks them, but they also feel that Shu Hongxuan is indeed deserved.

"Then let's come in and proclaim merit."

......
