Chapter 232: Tan Du Yu Zheng I
Jiajing: "Chen Duyu, you are also in charge of the discipline of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, what do you think about the backstage matters discussed by the previous cabinet?" ”
Tan Ke thought about it, it was unnecessary to tear their faces with Yan Song now, from the moment Jiajing regained his vitality and saw the history of the Ming Dynasty, the end of Yan's father and son was already doomed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAn emperor who wants to make a difference will not allow his subordinates to exist as traitors who can only flatter and be corrupt.
It's just that this superficial work still needs to be done.
Tan Ke: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think that there is no backstage of Zhou Yunyi in the cabinet. ”
Hearing Tan Ke's answer, Xu Jie and Gao Gong breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this Tan Ke should not be a member of Yan Song's faction, which is good. Before, they suffered from Lu Fang's loss in terms of factory guards, and now at least one more person has come out to balance Lu Fang. No matter how easy Lu Fang wants to move, he has to weigh it.
Jiajing just asked casually, and through this question, he showed the ministers Tan Ke's rights and responsibilities. He quickly didn't pay attention to the backstage matters before.
"When the country is difficult, it is difficult to be a family, and the country and the family are the same thing." Jiajing sighed, and suddenly turned his gaze to Yan Shifan again, "Yan Shifan, just now Gao Gong said that you married the wife of the ninth room yesterday, what's the matter?" ”
"The minister will send the concubine back tomorrow!" Yan Shifan replied immediately.
"Only a good man marries nine wives!" Jiajing smiled, "What should I do if I send it back?" It's better to stay, as long as you put more effort into the affairs of the court. Get up. ”
"Yes." Yan Shifan's voice was so small that he could almost only hear it.
After making fun of Yan Shifan, Jiajing brought the topic back to the financial issue, after all, this was the annual financial meeting of the Ming Dynasty.
"Last year passed, what about this year? It's going to be noisy. Elder Ge, you are the head of the cabinet, what are your plans? ”
"Being in charge is nothing more than saving money and opening up the source." Yan Song said very sincerely, "For example, last year, which expenditure was justified, but do you have to use so much?" Zhang Juzheng was right when he said just now, 'Everything is foreseen, and everything that is not foreseen is wasted.' For example, if the Ministry of Industry repairs the palace for the palace, why not take timber from Yungui and transport timber from the South Seas through the sea? It's because the timber in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains can't be transported. I remember that in the 36th year of Jiajing, the imperial court discussed that Yungui should build roads, which would not only facilitate the government to manage the Tusi in the mountains, but also facilitate the mountain people to transport the mountains down. If this matter had been implemented at that time, the extra 3 million wood money spent in the palace last year would have been saved. ”
Jiajing nodded sincerely, and then looked at Yan Shifan again.
"The Ministry of Labor is responsible for this matter, and the minister is responsible." Yan Shifan had to take the blame.
Tan Ke listened quietly from the sidelines, his official position, in layman's terms, is the head of the disciplinary inspection committee, and he can also mobilize the national secret police force. However, he is not qualified to take the initiative to intervene in specific policies.
couldn't take the initiative to interject, Tan Ke chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room of the infinite world. Yan Song didn't know that there was a strong man with a video camera standing in front of him, and he was standing there talking about the Tao. Tan Ke commented on Yan Song's words on the side.
"Don't look at Yan Song as a famous traitor in history, his level of practical governance is not low. It's just that he doesn't want to use his mind for the benefit of the people. What he just said can be summed up in only one sentence - if you want to get rich, you must first build roads! ”
In the live broadcast room, combined with Yan Song's performance and Tan Ke's comments before, the barrage also jumped out one by one-
"Don't say it, just by looking at his appearance, Yan Song is really a righteous old man."
"In ancient times, if you wanted to be a high-ranking official, you had to pass the test by looking good. Otherwise, it will be brushed off. ”
"I'm rubbing, there is still this kind of reasoning, it seems that it is still good in modern society, at least there is no such thing as judging people by their appearance in the civil service examination now."
"Or there is an old saying that a traitor is like loyalty. This person's conduct is not reflected by his appearance. ”
……
Yan Song: "All the expenditures this year must be focused on these, and then the cabinet will discuss it carefully." ”
"Zhang Juzheng." Jiajing suddenly called Zhang Juzheng's name.
Zhang Juzheng immediately replied: "The minister is here." ”
Jiajing: "You just said that 'everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted'. Is this what Elder Ge meant? ”
Zhang Juzheng: "That's what I mean, but Ge Lao said it more thoroughly. ”
Knowing that he would never be famous today, Zhang Juzheng also put away the knife in his words. As Zhang Juzheng softened, the atmosphere in the hall became harmonious again.
Jiajing immediately showed an appreciative look: "I listened to you settle accounts inside just now, and I calculated it very thoroughly." You said that as long as the trade routes on the sea are unblocked, my Ming merchant ships can transport goods to Persia and India, and they can open up more than 10 million taels of silver every year. I want to hear from you about this idea. ”
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng was obviously a little excited, but tried his best to calm his mind, "Actually, this is not the minister's train of thought. At the beginning of the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Chengzu ordered Zheng He to lead a fleet to the Western Ocean, seven times before and after, and the goods were far away. Until more than ten years of Jiajing, maritime trade was still frequent. Later, because of the Japanese riots, the sea was not quiet, and the commercial transportation was blocked. The minister was in the Ministry of War, and he also looked at the Ministry of War, thinking that it seemed that he should increase the military salary for Fujian and Zhejiang, let Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou raise the army, build warships, and then take the initiative to attack to exterminate the Japanese and reopen the road of sea merchants. ”
These days, Tan Ke has shown Jiajing a lot of books on mercantilism, and now Jiajing's attention to business has also greatly increased.
"This idea Zhang Juzheng discussed with the minister." Yan Song immediately took the conversation.
Xu Jie, Gao Gong also immediately subconsciously looked at Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng was stunned at first, and then shook his head gently as if he had confessed to Xu Jie and Gao Gong.
Yan Song: "As long as the road of sea merchants is unblocked, the next thing is what to transport." For example, the silk of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. A fine piece of silk can be sold for six taels of silver in the interior, and more than ten taels of silver if it is sold to Western countries. Now Jiangsu is 10,000 looms, Zhejiang is 8,000 looms, can you increase looms and produce more silk? ”
"This ......" Jiajing did not answer Yan Song immediately.
If it was Jiajing before, he would definitely agree to come down in one bite. But now Emperor Jiajing knows that this matter is not so simple. As long as he opens his mouth here to destroy the agricultural reform, then he will definitely be angry and resentful of the people below. Jiajing didn't know before, but now Jiajing, who has studied by surprise for a period of time, knows the seriousness of the matter.
"What rules does the elder have on this matter?" Jiajing didn't rush to make a conclusion, he decided to listen to Yan Song's plan first.
Yan Song: "The emperor is sage." Historically, the silk of Jiangsu has also relied on Zhejiang to supply silk, and the climate makes Zhejiang suitable for planting mulberry and producing silkworms. The intention of the cabinet is to simply allocate half of Zhejiang's existing farmland to mulberry fields, which can produce more than 10 million taels of silk a year, that is to say, 200,000 more silk horses. ”
Jiajing's brows have been furrowed, he has read too many modern books, and he also likes to use data to speak this standard. Now Yan Song opened his mouth to destroy half of the farmland and change it to mulberry fields, this kind of arbitrariness is such a large number, how to listen to how unreliable.
"Chen Duyu, what do you think about this matter?" Jiajing decided to consult Tan Ke's opinion.
