Chapter 228: Chao Hui II

Yan Shifan is the son of Yan Song, who is nicknamed Xiaoge Lao, and has always relied on his Laozi, who has always said nothing in the court, and is extremely arrogant. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't expect that he was held by Gao Gong because of a slip of the tongue, causing the current situation, at first he was stunned, but he quickly reacted, and became even more angry: "One of you is a household secretary, and the other is a household servant, what's wrong with staying in this position and calling your household?" Of course, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry are not my Yan Shifan's yamen, but the expenses of the two ministries are all votes drawn up by the cabinet! If you can't do it or don't want to do it, you can say that you will threaten the court with not signing and delay the major affairs of the court, you know what the consequences are! ”

"It's nothing more than dismissal and dismissal." Gao Gong didn't give in today, "I read the ticket you sent yesterday, Xu Ge Lao and I already have this idea, the household department is so bad that we can't do it, you Xiao Ge Lao thinks whoever is right to do it, let whoever can do it." ”

"You!" Yan Shifan was enraged by him, raised his hand and wanted to slap the table.

"Yan Shifan." Before he could attack, Yan Song immediately spoke, "This is the Imperial Council. ”

This Yan Shifan's Taoism is a little shallow! Tan Kewei shook his head invisibly, although he didn't understand politics, he also knew that those who played politics had to hold their breath.

Emperor Jiajing poured a cup of tea for Tan Ke and himself, and explained to Tan Ke in a whisper: "This Yan Shifan is also a bit talented, but Yan Song has a very high status in the court, and he is inevitably a little pampered. ”

Outside the veil, "Daddy! Yan Shifan's aggrieved voice came from outside.

"There is no father here, only my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty." Then came Yan Song's voice, "The Imperial Deliberation has to let people speak." Su Qing, why didn't the household department sign the cabinet bill, and if you have any difficulties, you can say it. ”

In the live broadcast room of the infinite world, everyone was about to laugh when they saw Yan Shifan's performance-

"This Yan Shifan is dozens of years old, how can he talk and act like a child?"

"Is it difficult for the cabinet members of the Ming Dynasty to achieve this level? That's no wonder the Daming pill! ”

"This is the second generation of top officials, and Yan Shifan has not been sent to other places for training, so it is normal for his temperament to be a little jumpy."

"Compared with his father, Yan Shifan is cute. Yan Song has a deep mind and does things without leakage. But Yan Song doesn't do things, he will only flatter, bent on pandering to Jiajing, and making the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable, what is the use of such an old and sophisticated bureaucrat in the country? ”

"The buddy in front, this tone is very similar to the Donglin Party, shouldn't it have crossed over?"

“2333! I'll serve you in this live broadcast room! It's too big! The anti-crossing is out! ”

……

Tan Ke looked at the barrage, and what the viewer who spoke at length was right and not right. The problem of Daming is not in any small repairs, but in a vested interest group in the management of documents. If you don't kill this vampire lying on Da Ming, the more Da Ming will be finished the more he will go in the future.

This thought can't be revealed to Jiajing now, after all, the emperor's time to study modern politics is still too short. Now I can only slowly explore and see how to get rid of the monster of civilian interests.

Emperor Jiajing didn't notice that Tan Ke was pondering something terrible, and the emperor was pricking up his ears to pay attention to the meeting outside.

"I'll be on the alert too." followed by Lu Fang's voice, "Deliberations are deliberations, don't talk about dismissal at every turn." Who should do what and what should not be done, this scale is in the hands of the emperor. I hope you understand in your heart. ”

"Good. Then I'll talk about the numbers. "It's the sound of a high arch.

Emperor Jiajing handed Tan Ke an account book of the household department, and he himself had an identical account book.

Tan Ke took it and took a look, and there were these big characters written on the cover of the account book - the general account book of the 39th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty of the Ministry of Households.

Tan Ke flipped through the first page of the account book, and Gao Gong outside also held up an account book. The account book was exactly the same as the account book held by Emperor Jiajing, and the cover also read "The General Account Book of the Thirty-ninth Year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty".

Gao Gong opened the account book: "Last year, the total tax and silver of the two capitals and 13 provinces was 45,367,000 taels, and the expenditure budget at the beginning of last year was 39,800,000 taels. However, yesterday's bills from various ministries cost a total of 53,800,000 taels of silver. The deficit last year was 8,433,030 taels! ”

When Tan Ke heard that there was a deficit of more than eight million taels, he didn't feel moved in his heart.

Judging from the records of the Wanli Dynasty not far from the Jiajing Dynasty, at that time, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice of general quality, and one stone was about 94.4 kilograms, and one tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which is 377.6 catties. The rice eaten by modern families is between 1.5 yuan and 2 yuan per catty, and the median price of 1.75 yuan can be calculated that one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is about 660.8 yuan.

Therefore, these more than 8 million taels are equivalent to more than 5 billion yuan in modern times, and from the perspective of people in the main plane, these more than 5 billion yuan are nothing to a country, but that is relative to the developed modern industrial countries, and the wealth created by industrial countries is unimaginable for feudal countries. The Chongzhen Dynasty's annual salary of about five million yuan dragged down an empire.

When Tan Ke was secretly smacking his tongue at Jiajing's terrible financial deficit in the past 39 years, Gao Gong's voice continued to come from outside: "If we check with the expenditure budget at the beginning of last year, the overexpenditure last year will be more than 14 million taels!" ”

Of these overspending, the military department accounted for 3 million taels. The remaining 11 million taels were overspent by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials. But why did we sign the bill from the Ministry of War? The reason is that the three million taels of the Ministry of War overspent were also used by the Ministry of Industry. In a word, the 14 million taels of last year's overspending were all overruns by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials! Speaking of this, Gao Gong pulled out a bill for the cabinet vote, "Let's talk about the deficit of three million recorded in the head of the military department." The three million soldiers did not spend it, but they drew up a ticket for us to sign, Xiao Ge Lao, how do you say this word for us to sign! ”

"When the ticket was drafted, the two officials of your household department were there!" Yan Shifan was a little angry, "At that time, you all saw this ticket, and you didn't say anything at that time, but now you have the account on the head of the Ministry of Industry!" Lao Xu, what do you want to do? He no longer confronted Gao Gong head-on, but stared at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie: "Seeing it doesn't mean verifying it." Yesterday evening, we checked with the military department and found that there was a discrepancy in this expenditure. This matter, Taiyue," he said, looking at the youngest cabinet member standing at the end, "come on." ”

The Taiyue in Xu Jie's mouth is even more incredible, he is the famous first assistant Zhang Juzheng of the Wanli Dynasty in later generations. It was his change that forcibly continued his life for more than ten years for the Ming Dynasty. Compared with Xu Jie, Gao Gong, a mediocre minister in the eyes of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing attaches more importance to Zhang Juzheng, who is capable and courageous, and has learned from the history books that this young man is very great Emperor Jiajing, sat up straight, and listened to Zhang Juzheng's words with a serious expression.

Zhang Juzheng: "The expenses of the Ministry of War last year were verified and sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs on the 27th of December. At that time, our expenditure was entirely in accordance with the budget at the beginning of the year, and we did not overspend, but yesterday the household department informed me to verify the draft plan, saying that the military department had overspent by 3 million. I went to see it, and the three million were recorded in the account of the Ministry of War for building 30 warships, and it was clearly recorded that it was built for Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to fight against the Japanese in the southeast sea. In fact, our military headquarters has never seen a single warship. ”
