1789 Conscientious
After all, Lin Haoran still wanted to do more for the Ming Dynasty and wanted to become the most competent household secretary.
After the two measures of "Diao Minshu" and "Taxation to Silver" were blocked, he also put his energy on other things, and now wants to build Hangzhou Weaving Bureau and Suzhou Weaving Bureau into cash cows.
According to the difference that many people imagine, the Ming Dynasty implemented the collection of not only rice grains and grains, but also silk cotton, and silk silk according to the number of mulberry plants.
The heaviest silk tax is 139654 horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, of which the first Yanzhou Mansion has to pay 49,216 horses, and the heaviest silk tax in Yanzhou Mansion is the famous Chun'an County 17,019 horses.
It can also be seen from this incident that Hai Rui was able to keep clean and honest in the face of this "county of fish and flesh" in Chun'an County, but it is very human.
So much silk and raw silk is undoubtedly an invisible wealth. However, a lot of raw silk and silk are often piled up in Taicang, or used in exchange for silver to fill the expenses of the imperial court, which is undoubtedly a waste of resources.
Since Daming signed a silk supply agreement with Portugal, Lin Haoran decided to allocate the collected raw silk and silk to the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, which can be regarded as a strong support in terms of raw materials.
The Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau are supervised by the admiral eunuch, and Lin Haoran does not want to be a bad person, let alone ruin the good situation by the eunuchs.
It is precisely for this reason that while proposing to allocate raw silk and silk to the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, it is also a request to send household officials to the two bureaus.
The situation of the household department is relatively special, and there are thirteen Qing officials divisions, corresponding to thirteen provinces. The Nanzhili area did not have the right Qing officials, but has always been under the responsibility of the Nanjing Household Department, so the Nanjing Household Department is a department with real power.
Nanjing's household department, as a second-grade yamen, is regarded as a level-level yamen with Beijing's household department, so it has a great deal of independence, and may even report to the emperor.
It's just that Jiajing of this dynasty rarely directly intervenes in local affairs, and while Jiajing repeatedly reaches out to the household department, he also gives the household department a lot of financial management rights, while the Beijing household department has formed a great suppression of the Nanjing household department.
Lin Haoran was interested in building a healthy imperial court finance, and was also in charge of the financial expenditure affairs of the Nanjing Household Yamen, and even regarded the Nanjing Household Department as his own subordinate yamen.
Ge Shouli, the secretary of the Nanjing household department, is an official of the northern department, the same year as Yang Bo, but in the face of Lin Haoran's "oppression", he can only obediently comply.
After all, in the current court, not to mention that he is a Nanjing household secretary who is on the edge of politics, even Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department, has to let Lin Haoran score three points.
In the same way, Lin Haoran handed over the affairs of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau directly to the Nanjing Household Department, and the Nanjing Household Department sent officials to assist in the management of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau.
"Xiaguan meets Lord Zhengtang!" Yang Junmin came after hearing the news and said respectfully.
"Hangzhou Weaving Bureau needs a Jiangsu and Zhejiang master to assist in the management, I don't know if you are interested in going?" Lin Haoran faced Yang Junmin and asked straight to the point.
The household department has set up 13 Qing Officials Division, corresponding to 13 provinces, and there are no branches in the local area. If there is any local business, it is usually sent by officials from the household department.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan......" Yang Junmin was already caught off guard in the face of this sudden errand, and he seemed to be undecided.
Lin Haoran knew what he was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Master Yang, you don't have to rush to reply to Yu Ben Zhengtang!" This main hall will give you two days, if you don't think it's suitable, I will send Chen Xinglong there! ”
"Lord Hall, I wonder why you chose me to go?" Yang Junmin hesitated for a moment, and asked very seriously.
Lin Haoran raised his head and looked at Yang Junmin, and responded with a straight face: "The affairs of the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau naturally have to be selected from your Jiangsu and Zhejiang Division, you and Chen Xinglong are both suitable, and both of you are good at financial management!" It's just that you are more energetic than Chen Xinglong, and you can see through some of the cats better than him, and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau involves at least hundreds of thousands of taels of turnover every year, so if you go, it will make me feel more at ease! ”
This is actually from the heart. Yang Junmin is now in the early stage of his career, not to mention that he has no financial pressure, if he colludes with the eunuchs in the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, it is not a good deal.
Although it is true that Yang Junmin is Yang Bo's son, he will not be angry with a "junior", and it is indeed out of public interest to send Yang Junmin to the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau.
"Lord Zhengtang, the lower officials are willing to go!" Yang Junmin met Lin Haoran's gaze and responded with high morale.
Lin Haoran was slightly surprised, but shook his head lightly and said, "You better go home and discuss, if it's not suitable, Chen Xinglong can also do this matter!" ”
"Xia Guan is an official of the household department, and this Cheng is valued by Lord Zhengtang, and Xia Guan will leave for Hangzhou early tomorrow morning!" Yang Junmin replied with a firm mind.
Lin Haoran was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Yang Junmin to have such determination, so he also said with a straight face: "I really don't agree with your father, but I, Lin Haoran, am not right about things!" Hangzhou Weaving Bureau has a lot to do with it, and if it can be operated, it will benefit the household a lot! As long as you can do your best to get this done, I will definitely not ignore your merits, and I will promote ......."
"Lord Zhengtang is looking down on the lower officials, and the lower officials are also bent on doing things for the Ming Dynasty, and they will do their best to complete the affairs of the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, and they do not want to be official!" Yang Junmin knew what Lin Haoran wanted to say, and immediately responded with a straight face.
Lin Haoran found that Yang Junmin had indeed not been infected with the bad habits of officialdom, neither was he too obsessed with chasing power, but also retained a pure heart to be the master of the people.
Facing the energetic Lin Yang Junmin, Lin Haoran also did not have a mother-in-law, but seriously taught him face-to-face, and then sent Yang Junmin away.
As the sun turned west, the rooftops and streets of Beijing were covered with a golden glow, and the officials of the six yamen were leaving from their respective yamen.
Lin Haoran stepped on a layer of golden light spread on the steps, and walked out of the compound according to the time, but unexpectedly met Hai Rui, who had just returned to the household from outside.
During this period of time, thanks to Hai Rui's sitting, Chongwenmen's taxation work has not been flawed.
The eyes of the masses are bright, and after seeing that many money offensives and power temptations have not achieved any effect, especially Hai Rui has maintained a poor life style in the capital, which has made more and more people respect this Hai Qingtian, who does not enter salt and rice.
"Xiaguan has seen Lord Zhengtang!" Although Hai Rui is an upright official, he still understands the etiquette of officialdom, and he respectfully salutes Lin Haoran.
Hai Rui's six-grade official uniform was purchased after he arrived in Beijing, but he had a lot of disputes with people in Chongwenmen, and he was torn a long hole in a tugging with someone, and now he is sewn up with needle and thread, causing his official uniform to be sewn in several places.
Lin Haoran still had a deep respect for Hai Rui's style, so he nodded lightly and said: "Lord Hai, it's time now, why don't you go home as soon as possible?" ”
"There are a lot of affairs in the hands of the lower officials, and they will be dealt with!" Hai Rui first let out of the aisle, and then responded hot and cold.
Lin Haoran said with concern: "Don't be too busy! ”
"The subordinate obeys!" Hai Rui replied with a clear distance.
Lin Haoran knew that Hai Rui was actually a workaholic, and Hai Rui's mother and wife were both in Hainan's hometown, and they often chose to spend the night in the household yamen, so they went straight to the sedan chair.
Hai Rui watched Lin Haoran's sedan chair go away, and his eyes looked quite complicated.
After getting along and observing these days, this native of western Guangdong is indeed admirable, and he is indeed doing practical things for the people of the big officials. It's just that the Qiongzhou fellow who went to Beijing to take the exam brought what he saw, and the local people said that the richest person in Liangguang was the Changlin family, and this lord of the main hall may be a big maggot that is not inferior to Yan Song.
