The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall became brisk because of Wei Jun, and the pressure of the indicators that had originally pressed on the heads of the various Shangshu departments suddenly disappeared.

Wei Jun himself also knew that the Ministry of Industry had done bad things with good intentions this time, but the words had already been spoken, so he had to pretend to be confused and joke about himself.

"Wei Butang is also concerned about the people's livelihood of the country, and he should be rewarded, and when he reports the First Five-Year Plan to His Majesty, the achievements of each ministry must be on the basis of the book."

At this time, Yang Shiqi opened his mouth to end the topic, and then continued today's work.

"If there are any problems that need to be solved urgently in the closing work of the Ministry of War this year, and if there are any problems that need to be solved urgently, the cabinet will work with all departments to do their best to help, and strive to make sure that not a single one of the departments is left behind in the report at the end of the year."

Xu Buji, who said this, pouted secretly, and the government and the opposition all said that he Xu Buji was the No. 1 sycophant in Tianzi, but he forgot that before he Xu Buji, this Yang Shiqi was the first assistant of the cabinet who relied on seeing the wind to make the rudder.

Listening to Yang Shiqi's words, it can be seen that the quotations of the emperor in Pingsuli have not been less, and the spirit in them has not been interpreted.

"What problems can the military department have, the work has been completed by the General Staff and the Fifth Military Government."

In the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, the most nonexistent is probably Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, this Zhu Yunwen was still the minister of the palace when he was the grandson, and he took over one of the old six departments early, and he mainly grasped the position of the secretary of the military department, but after so many years, he was marginalized in the political arena.

The main work of the Ministry of War was all taken away by the two governments, and only the inventory of the military register was left to prevent the problem of empty salaries, so the Ministry of War was also the second-to-last among the ten ministries.

There is little work, little power, and naturally there is no oil and water, and the entire military department is now left to wander around the city of Nanjing, or put on a pomp and go down to the place to wander around and brush up on the sense of existence.

Qi Tai's heart was unbalanced, and he was half-dead when he started his work, but it was Wang Qian, who was in charge of the work of the military department, who raised a question.

"The implementation and supplementation of the active conscription system, the number of soldiers, and the red line of age, the pass rate is several percent."

As a university scholar who has come up step by step from the Department of General Affairs, Wang Qian is absolutely meticulous in his work.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Tai is even more lazy to deal with Wang Qian, when he was the secretary of the military department, the latter was just a small general government, and the ugly point is that he is responsible for collecting the book, and the power is not as good as Ying Tianfu Yin.

Ten years have passed, Qingcong has passed away, and he is still standing still, but this Wang Qian has become his top boss.

This doesn't make sense.

"Qi Butang?"

Seeing that Qi Tai didn't speak, Yang Shiqi frowned and knocked on the table twice: "I hope you will give the cabinet an account of the progress of the work of the Ministry of War, so that we can have a number in our hearts, you are also an important member of the center for a long time, and you must have the overall situation to cooperate with the cabinet." ”

"Yes, I know."

Qi Tai raised his eyelids: "According to the current inventory of the Ministry of War, there are 867,000 active soldiers, and their ages are basically in the range of 16 to 35 years old, and the pass rate is more than 95 out of 100. ”

"Well, it's been a hard work."

Yang Shiqi had no choice but to hurry up and end his questioning of the Ministry of War, and turned his gaze to Zhu Gaochi, and his tone was much more polite.

"Is there any problem with the Ministry of Rites?"

In the past few years, the Ministry of Rites has offended the people the most among the ten ministries, because it is necessary to investigate the local Buddhism and Taoism, and whether it is Buddha or Taoism, for various reasons, there are many people in the local support, moving beliefs, which can be equivalent to killing parents.

Based on this, the Ministry of Rites is also the department that has given the greatest support to the cabinet in recent years, to be precise, it should be the most supported by the Fifth Military Government.

The local provincial capitals fully cooperated, and those who dared to gather believers to resist in groups were arrested by the crowd, and generally sentenced to three or five years of construction and labor reform, while the organizers executed all the so-called masters and heavenly masters.

If you can't beat it with a knife, you can set up a cannon, and if you can't blow it up, you can kill ten guns.

The campaign to remove the old can be described as relentless.

"The problem is basically gone, but there are still two places left that have not been checked."

Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a moment and said, "One is Longxing Temple, and the other is Xiayun Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

These two names suddenly gave the cabinet a toothache.

Everyone knows the identity of the former, and its predecessor was Huangjue Temple. Hongwu 16 years built, given the name Longxing Temple, was designated as the Ming Dynasty Royal Temple. In the Ming Dynasty, Longxing Temple but the building is old, damaged, and on fire, which is repaired by the imperial court out of its own pocket, even when the national finances are tight, it has never been short Longxing Temple.

After all, this is the place where Emperor Taizu Gao stayed back then, supporting Taizu for many years, and the latter Xiayun Temple is where the Empress Dowager Lu often goes to worship the Buddha today.

The Ming Dynasty established the country with filial piety, how do these two places plan to move? And how can you move!

Without the emperor's spit, the cabinet would not have had any ruts at all.

"In this matter, the prince has not entered the palace to ask His Majesty?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Shiqi could only kick the ball back, and he was also numb and had no choice.

"Not yet."

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Your Majesty's character is known to everyone, and your Majesty knows, Your Majesty will definitely order a ban, the Queen Mother's phoenix body is declining, and it has relied on this Xiayun Temple in the past few years. ”

Wenhua Hall fell silent.

Zhu Gaochi's meaning is already very clear, don't tell Zhu Yunwen, the big guy discussed, find a scapegoat to come out and do this.

"Didn't you send anyone to talk to you?"

Yang Shiqi frowned: "It's just to check the number of acres of land and dismiss the redundant monks by the way, it may not be impossible to solve it through talks."

If you don't want to, you can spend money, give as much as you want, 100,000 taels will not work, 200,000, otherwise the Taoist temples will be cleaned up all over the world, these two temples are still full of incense, thousands of monks, and the face of the court will be lost. ”

The cabinet compromised with the temple, and Yang Shiqi couldn't care about being ashamed, as Zhu Gaochi said, these two places were too involved, and no one wanted to report to the emperor, and when the time came, he would leave a stain on the emperor in the history books.

"If we can talk about it, we will talk about it a long time ago."

Zhu Gaochi was a little annoyed: "Xiayun Temple is fine, willing to accept the clearance work of Ying Tianfu and pay the grain tax, but for the disbandment of the monks, only one or twenty people are retained, refusing to accept the request to disband the monks, what kind of nonsense is compassionate, and unwilling to drive away the group of lonely and widowed monks."

As for Longxing Temple, alas, the attitude was even more arrogant, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were directly driven out, and nothing was negotiated. ”

"Alright, I got it."

Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to continue, Yang Shiqi opened his mouth to interrupt, only to see him frowning: "This matter will be put aside first, and the other ministries will continue to report, this matter will still be found by Your Majesty after all." ”

Although everyone didn't want to cause trouble to Zhu Yunwen, even the emperor himself was troublesome in the places involved in this kind of matter, and the cabinet couldn't do it perfectly.

It's better to leave it to Zhu Yunwen to make his own decision.

If the emperor cherishes feathers, it's a big deal to find a brocade guard to command the servants to be a scapegoat, and cut them all down by dividing them by two.

Compensation and reconstruction after the fact is.

It's important to get down to business.
