Chapter 1016: An Unprecedented Threat
After Mingyangzi came up to meet the emperor and the empress dowager, he stood there and scolded Feng Shangshu and other courtiers for being ill-intentioned, bullying his disciple Yunyun shamelessly, and even the emperor couldn't intervene. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ming Yangzi has been absent from the capital for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be some mundane affairs to deal with after he returns, and he will have to discuss medicine and medical skills with his disciples and grandchildren, so he has been busy in the West Courtyard for the past few days. As soon as I came out today, I caught up with the opening of the dumb exhibition and was collecting donations, and I was very happy and hurried to the east. But outside the palace gate, he met the forbidden army dragging Feng Shangshu out, and Feng Shangshu said vigorously that he was dumb and invited to buy people's hearts, etc. Mingyangzi was suspicious, so he asked.
When he understood, he was so angry that he ran to the temple and scolded.
King Nioh said: "Then Feng Shangshu is angry because he lost the bet." ”
Mingyangzi shouted: "You still say! Such a, watching your niece and nephew bully others! This is to see that my Nioh has no power or power, right? Listen to me: I will inform all the disciples and grandchildren of the Nioh lineage later, and whoever dares to bully Guo Zhinu and pour dirty water on her in the future will not be allowed to diagnose and treat them unless his family is not sick! ”
Nioh said loudly, "My brother will do as my elder brother commands!" ”
The courtiers were dumbfounded—this threat...... Unprecedented!
But it's really hard to say, if the mountains don't turn around, maybe one day I will be sick and dying, and then it depends on people's faces.
Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, his voice and eyes were hot.
This vaguely recognized master has always defended her unconditionally.
Sometimes she wonders, is it just fate that can explain it?
She didn't know that Ming Yangzi himself had a benevolent heart, and he also liked her benevolence, so that's it, otherwise, he had a lot of relatives and disciples, who could be so upheld by him?
Emperor Shunchang smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, I have already blasted Feng Shangshu out. ”
The Empress Dowager also asked Mingyangzi to come forward, ordered to give a seat, and then comforted him gently, saying that she and the emperor would never believe in anyone to slander Guo Zhinu, so that he could rest assured; He also said that the fundraising was not over yet, so he asked him to take a good look and ask the charity center to allocate a sum of money to Castle Peak Medical College; He also complimented that Guo Zhinu had made a great contribution to this fundraising, and raised a lot of silver taels, which quickly diverted the topic.
It was easy to calm down, and another batch of one million donations was delivered, because the silver ticket has a small denomination, it looks like a lot, but the amount is not comparable with before, which is also amazing enough.
The emperor and his courtiers found that up to now, the number of donations had not decreased at all, and the number of donations was soaring to 50 million.
Is this still worth it?!
This amount has exceeded one-third of Dajing's fiscal and tax revenues.
The territory of Dajing is vast, since the reign of Emperor Wu (Emperor Yingwu) in the "prosperous era of heroic martial arts", it has been hundreds of years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, civil strife cannot be afforded, and there is no major war in the frontier, so it can be said that the population has risen to the level of the four seas, so the population has increased sharply -- Emperor Shunchang counted the population once at the beginning of his accession to the throne: Dajing has 20 prefectures, with a total population of 40,000 -- and the annual fiscal and tax revenues are more than 100 million.
Among these fiscal and tax revenues, the proportion of commercial tax revenue exceeds that of agricultural tax.
Although the fiscal and tax revenues are large, the family has a large business and the expenses are also huge.
This time, the drought in Fengzhou left the emperor and courtiers helpless.
The treasury was empty, and not only Feng Shangshu of the household department was staring at the money bags of the Fang family and other merchants, but also the courtiers such as Lord Wang, Lord Cai, Lord Wu, and Lord Jiang were equally concerned. They may not be in favor of innovation, but they have the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business. Today's fundraising, the courtiers unanimously agreed to let Dajing, the top of the business world, bleed heavily to save the people of Fengzhou.
Unexpectedly, Guo Zhinu intervened out of thin air and staged a disaster relief performance.
The results of the fundraising shook the hearts of the courtiers.
Among these court officials, there are many pedantic like Feng Shangshu, there are also many mediocre talents, and there are many shrewd and speculative people, and there are also able ministers such as Lord Wang and Lord Jiang.
Now, these people are making big noises about the results of the fundraising.
They were quick thinkers, and in conversation, they said:
He had foreseen this result, and he had been waiting to see what was going on, and as he expected, this was a more modest person. There are more direct people, who bluntly say what he has done, and the implication is that he is the one who can raise so much silver. There are also reserved and subtle, fact-by-case analysis, which also shows that they are beyond ordinary people's foresight.
Qing was stunned when he heard it, and felt that there were still many capable people in the imperial court.
This is because she has little contact with these people, and she doesn't know that they are "hindsight".
In the evening, she told Fang Chu, and Fang Chu couldn't help but laugh: "It is said that no businessman is not a traitor, but you remember: the most shameless person in this world is by no means a businessman." "It's a politician!
Let's talk about the present, there are also people who talk about the core and key points.
I listened to Lord Wang: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels a lot today. Weichen understood: Dajing's wealth is not in the treasury, but in the people. Hiding wealth from the people, this is the world governed by the Holy Monarch! If the country is rich and the people are poor, sooner or later there will be civil strife. ”
Everyone was stunned and echoed him, praising him for his incisiveness, which is exactly what he said.
Master Jiang is proficient in criminal law, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen also sighed: The emperor rules the world with virtue, so the world returns to the heart, and today's fundraising will attract the people of the capital to take action." In the past, whenever there was a flood or drought disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, although the local government also called on the people to raise donations, the local officials were greedy, forcibly embezzled the disaster relief funds, and then forced the people to loot, and the people were afraid of extortion, so they naturally refused to donate. Your Majesty, Weichen implored the emperor to order the purge of the rule of officials and rectify the local government! ”
This was also said on point, but it did not elicit a response.
Because of this decree, I don't know how many officials will be dismissed.
On the spot, someone's eyes flickered, and his heart was uneasy.
Emperor Shunchang said majestically: "What Jiang Aiqing said is reasonable. When the general is done, I will rectify the rule of officials and punish a group of corrupt officials. ”
Then, some people said that agriculture and industry should develop together, and it was not feasible to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce and prohibit overseas trade. Others talked about Fangchu's disaster relief plan, and if Fengzhou can quickly recover its economy, it can be implemented in other states in the future......
Emperor Shunchang was so excited that he looked dumb and happy and worried.
He was not confused at all, although he didn't believe Feng Shangshu's words, but he had seen with his own eyes the influence of Qingmu on the people, and he was relieved of Qingdu, for fear that she would be used.
Guo Zhinu was sealed by the imperial court, and it can only be used by him, the emperor!
Because of the emperor's thoughts, Xie Yinyue's purpose of seizing the market failed.
Next, Emperor Shunchang announced: Guo Zhinu made the greatest contribution to the public blended fabric this time, so the Fang family was the first to choose the market, the Xie family was second, and the Ma family was third.
Xie Yinyue smiled lightly, without losing her temper, but her heart was gloomy: after spending so much effort, she still couldn't change the result - the Fang family still occupied Hanzhong Mansion.
