Chapter 292: The First Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty (II)

Zhu Yunwen's words were like the opening gong on the boxing stage, which made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly tense.

The center of the Ming Dynasty has to compete for the budget almost every year, after all, the financial income is a fixed number, but the expenditure of the coming year is not how much it is, the budget is low, and if you encounter a little horse stirrup in the next year, you have to live with your pocket, otherwise, you have to drink the northwest wind.

In this, except for the military expenditure of the General Staff and the expenditure of the Ministry of Officials, which is a fixed amount, which of the other departments must not be beaten to the head?

"Come one by one, the General Staff will speak first."

The army is the barrier of the country, and over the years, Zhu Di has been the first to reach out and ask for money, and at this point, no one has a temper.

"There are 860,000 athletes on active duty, and the total number of participants will be reduced to 800,000 next year according to His Majesty's wishes, but the military expenditure will still be opened according to the active service."

Zhu Di was also not polite, and opened his mouth to make an astronomical amount: "Together with armaments, nineteen million taels." ”

After speaking, Zhu Di also took a special look at Xia Yuanji, hoping to see the familiar distressed look on the latter's face, but it disappointed him, and Xia Yuanji's expression remained unchanged, as if what he heard in his ears was 1.9 million instead of 19 million.

Heh, I'm not the same Xia Yuanji I was two years ago.

As the head of the household department of the Jianwen Dynasty, Xia Yuanji felt that his growth rate was really fast, guarding such an emperor who played with his life to make money, especially the great flood in Jiangxi in the fourth year of Jianwen, and the household department that was directly involved was in debt, and he spent 10,000 taels in debt. Still distressed about this mere nineteen million?

Sprinkle the water.

"This year's military expenses will be paid in cash."

At this time, Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth: "Including the salaries of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, they are also paid in cash, and these soldiers in the province also have to take the grain cart to the grain store in the city to sell it. ”

Most of the soldiers are unconcerned people, willing to save money, and there are only a few people who take home during annual leave, and most of them still choose to take the money to play gambling stalls and visit kilns in Nanjing.

Give them cash silver, which can also be regarded as promoting the commercial prosperity of Nanjing City.

Pornography and gambling are not a good thing, Zhu Yunwen also thought about banning these two legal tumors on the market, but there was no way, there were too few entertainment activities in ancient times, and if he closed down the gambling stalls and brothels on the front foot, the security in Nanjing City could explode directly on the back foot.

Give this group of strong-blooded athletes some more money, so that they can have a way to relieve the tense nerves under the high pressure and strict training of the military camp through consumption.

"If the military expenses are paid in cash, then part of the expenditure silver of the Ministry of Officials and the Industrial Bank of the Ministry of Industry need to be converted into in-kind discounts."

Xia Yuanji coughed lightly and took a preventive shot in advance.

The Ming Dynasty has a history of several decades, and Zhu Gaochi and Wei Jun both disagreed with it and did not object.

"The Five Military Governments are responsible for their own profits and losses, so they don't reach out to ask the household department for money."

The two giants of the military are settled, and all that remains is the various departments directly under the central government.

The main head is still the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry.

The former's official Yu Lu and Zhi Shiyin took the lion's share, followed by a sky-high budget from the Ministry of Industry:

Twenty million taels!

Everyone gasped, and Xia Yuanji jumped up again.

"The lion opens his mouth! What do you plan to build next year and spend so much money! ”

What department of the Ministry of Industry dares to open the annual budget to 20 million?

What's the matter, do you want to build the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to the sky?

"I can't help it, Natsubedo."

Wei Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, smiled bitterly and shouted injustice: "The standard set in the five-year plan is here, and if the Ministry of Industry does not have enough money, it will not be realized." ”

Two Beijing roads, the entire Yangtze River!

Wei Jun's hands trembled when he signed the military order, and he had to add that within five years, he would complete the filial piety tomb, the ship of the sea fortune, the warship, and the 300 cannons!

Wei Jun didn't know if the cabinet had been kicked in the brain by a donkey when it set the plan for the Ministry of Industry, and where did they get the courage to set this number?

Jingdao is still easy to build, there is cement and workers at the moment, as long as you control the daily working hours and escape the heat, you can't die.

Recruit one million workers, and connect it in the later stage of the construction of multiple sections, as long as the money is in place, Wei has the confidence to finish it within a year!

Isn't it just to go to Xi'an and Chengdu, even if it is more troublesome to Sichuan, Yu Hengsi can blow up a way with more gunpowder, and the shattered rocks are just sent to the Yangtze River along the banks to build embankments mixed with cement.

But where is the work of Xiaoling and the shipyard is too many people, you can't let go of the people, this is a place where slow work is done, if you want to complete it within five years, you have to work in shifts during the day, and it can't be repaired at night, even if you can't fight at night, you have to let Emperor Taizu sleep well, right?

The exterior and interior are busy together, and the place where more manpower is really needed is to transport stone and timber from the southwest, but it is really not difficult to build the main body of Xiaoling, it is rare to cover an area of as many as 300 hectares (nearly two million square meters) of the external landscape, and it is necessary to clean up the Tanglin by the way, so that the entire Xiaoling Cemetery can be regarded as a whole completion.

Wei Jun found a group of old craftsmen with decades of experience to conduct on-the-spot surveys, and mobilized 200,000 to 300,000 people and a transportation team of more than 100,000 people to ensure that the entire completion of the tomb could be completed within two years.

The filial piety tomb in history was completed in two years of Yongle, and if you count the integral completion of the accompanying mausoleum such as Dongling, it will take several years. Fortunately, there was no difficulty in this time and space, and the energy of the imperial court could be stably used in various fortifications in the country, so as to ensure the stable development of various tasks.

Therefore, Wei Jun's plan is to spend a lot of money to build the most time-consuming filial piety tomb and shipping transportation first, and then use the annual budget to build roads and embankments.

This first year's 20 million taels is the minimum budget of the Ministry of Industry.

Xia Yuanji jumped to his feet angrily and scolded his mother, while Zhu Yunwen was thinking evilly, was Xia Yuanji pierced by Chongzhen's soul?

Otherwise, why is he like a shrew every time he spends money?

The Ministry of Industry also dared to speak, and with one mouth, it was Chongzhen's income for several years.

Wei Jun didn't say anything, let Xia Yuanji spray him with spit, and finally when the latter was tired of scolding, he stretched out his hand like a hob.

You scold, give money.

"This money, the household department is out."

Xia Yuanji almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth, and stared at Wei Jun with red eyes: "The old man will send ten more Du Zhi Lang from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Industry, and every expenditure and purchase of the Ministry of Industry must be participated in by the Department of Household Affairs, but if there is one or two pieces of silver that is not counted, Wei Butang can not blame the old man for participating in your sin of blaspheming public funds!" ”

Heh, if you can't complete the five-year plan, you still need to impeach?

After the quarrel between the household department and the Ministry of Industry, it was followed by a quarrel with the Ministry of Rites and the Three Law Divisions.

There is no way, who let the latter departments have no expenses in previous years, and this year they all dare to jump out one by one and reach out to ask for money.

Wang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't think about anything in the five-year plan, but now it's not good, now Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, has arranged a task for them to investigate religion, and their Ministry of Rites needs to borrow people in the local area.

Without the support of public funds, what can you do with the tens of thousands of taels of silver left in the treasury of the Qingshui Yamen Mansion for the next cub?

"Wei Zhe doesn't need to be so angry, our Ministry of Rites has checked the religion, and the acres of land and incense money copied out still have to be filled to the national treasury."

Wang Qian smiled shyly: "It's just 500,000 taels, it's just 500,000 taels, compared to the previous expenses of tens of millions, it's not more than this amount for you to show a crack in your fingers." ”

Xia Yuanji snorted coldly, and looked at the Three Law Divisions again: "The old man really doesn't understand, the Criminal Department of the Three Law Divisions wants to preach the law and print 50,000 copies of the Ming Law, and it's just a matter of money, how can the Dali Temple review a case, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will inspect the Yamen of the Provincial Inspection Department, which will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"

Could it be that this money fell from the sky and the wind blew! ”

The three law divisions are not afraid of Xia Yuanji, now at this juncture, the budget would rather be more than less, otherwise the work will not be completed by then, and it will be necessary to go home and farm.

If it weren't for the fear that the household department would not be able to bear it, they would all be eager to meet the budget for the next five years in one go, so as to fundamentally ensure that the official duties of their respective yamen can fulfill the task targets to the greatest extent.

"Alright."

Seeing that Xia Yuanji had a tendency to bargain like running the vegetable market, Zhu Yunwen decisively interrupted: "The small money is always that number, more than tens of thousands of taels and less tens of thousands of taels are not in the way, the household department should do a good job of logistics services for all departments, everyone's purpose is the same, don't get too entangled in this kind of thing." ”

When will the emperor be able to go back to his life?

Xia Yuanji shook his head and sighed, arching his hand with an embarrassed look: "The minister listens to the will." ”

His face was dead, but his heart was smiling.

In fact, this year's income is here, how much can be spent, he has a red line in his heart.

Now the total number of the various departments of the center together is still nearly 10 million taels away from the red line in his heart.

Hahahaha.

If it weren't for being in the Golden Palace, Xia Yuanji would have hugged Yu Xin and kissed him a few times and shouted.

"After several years of deficit, this year the household department finally stood up!"

With so much money in your pocket this year, do you want to sponsor the emperor for 10,000 taels, change the floor tiles for the three major halls, and coat the Panlong Pillar with gold leaf by the way?

No, no, it's too floating, so let's sponsor five hundred taels for the emperor to renovate a thatched house.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Xia Yuanji, shook his head slightly, and then said with a straight face: "Since the budgets of all ministries have been set, and everyone has no objections, then I and the cabinet will directly approve it, and everyone should implement it as soon as possible, and hurry up to implement their respective plan indicators." ”

Everyone got up and thanked them beautifully, and then picked up Zhu Yunwen's red recitals one by one and left the Jinshen Palace, and then, they should go to the Wenhua Hall for a small meeting to discuss the implementation of the specific work.

Now that the central government's major goal has been set, it is ironclad that it is impossible to change it, so the next task is to carry it out.

In the words of the emperor, that is to cultivate the awareness of the overall situation of the provincial officials and the whole country.

"Apportionment, apportionment!"

In this kind of thing, Yang Shiqi set the tone as soon as he slapped the table.

"The ministries, together with the three legal departments, sent personnel to the provincial political envoys and yamen to supervise the provinces, and the provincial governors signed military orders to the cabinet, and if they could not be completed, they were dismissed on the spot."

In this kind of thing, Yu Xin is a rare political unity with Yang Shiqi, who let him be in charge of several departments are the financial sector with the highest hard indicators, and if he does not engage in apportionment, it will definitely not work just shouting slogans in Nanjing.

"The annual income of Guangdong and Fujian must reach more than 10% every year!"

Yu Xin also dared to speak, and set a super high economic growth index with one mouth: "The commerce and trade of these two provinces are becoming more and more prosperous year by year, and the local government is not carefully inspected, how many wealthy businessmen evade taxes and avoid taxes, there is nothing to say, sign a military order, but if there is slackness, he will be dismissed on the spot." ”

The emperor put pressure on their cabinet, and they had to put pressure on the localities.

Comprehensively strengthening the supervision mechanism and implementing the accountability mechanism for assigning responsibility to people is the core idea of Zhu Yunwen's five-year plan for the cabinet.

Doesn't your civilian-bureaucratic clique like to be united, fighting this and that at every turn, and engaging in party strife again if you have nothing to do?

Now I'm forcing you to fight among yourself.

At this time, it doesn't matter which faction is not a faction, even the party leader is stepping on the edge of the cliff, and if he is about to do well, he will be crushed, who still has the energy to protect his henchmen?

Assign the overall task indicators to the provinces, and whoever fails to complete them will get out.

"With such an apportionment, the pressure on the local government is not small."

Seeing that the heads of various ministries and halls began to calculate how to share the pressure on the provinces, Jing Qing swallowed his saliva.

His Metropolitan Procuratorate will be busy in the next five years, after all, it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate that is responsible for supervising the implementation of the Five-Year Plan.

"Is it difficult?"

Yang Shiqi was noncommittal when he heard this: "The matter is man-made, as long as the place can rivet enough energy, and is willing to put the energy of drinking and accepting concubines in ordinary places on official affairs, this five-year plan will not be difficult." ”

The local chief officials live more chic than the emperor every day, especially the middle-level cadres like the prefect.

said that it was a connection, but there was no all day.

Small matters are in charge of each county, and major matters are reported to Fantai.

"If a big goal is split, it becomes a small goal for each province."

Yang Shiqi opened his mouth and said: "The title of the next issue of the General Administration Department is: Complete a small goal first!" ”
