Chapter 981: It's a ruthless person
You stinky boy!
Since you know that this is a tacit understanding, then you still say it.
It's all so obvious, and there's a tacit understanding.
You are bent on us to die!
Many ministers in the palace couldn't help but be secretly angry in their hearts.
Even Zhang Cheng and the big eunuchs were a little nervous.
Of course, they have a part to do.
How can this thief not be weak-hearted!
Fortunately, Guo Dan has not yet revealed the intention of settling old accounts, he mainly explains why the emperor launched the military reform with lightning speed without court discussion, and the key reason is that the internal corruption is too corrupt, let you change it, don't you change it into your own wallet.
It's better not to change it.
Many honest and capable people in the DPRK and China nodded silently.
Well done!
As soon as they saw this data, they were already scolding their mothers in their hearts.
It's shocking.
You are also too greedy, the military salary of eight million taels fell into the hands of the soldiers, no wonder Bibai was fighting in Ningxia at that time, invincible, and invincible.
And in the face of everyone's anger, Guo Dan was very aggrieved, old man, this doesn't matter to me, I'm just a spokesperson, the one above doesn't approve, I don't dare to say that, and it has nothing to do with me.
"Nonsense!"
Dong Cunqiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, suddenly stood up and said: "You are simply talking about it, if it is really as you say, the town over there has long been lost, and Liaodong Town has gone out several times in the past few years, are they all ghosts." ”
"Of course not a ghost."
Guo Dan said: "Anyway, there are still three million taels in the hands of the soldiers, so the existing troops in the border towns can still cope with some small-scale wars, but if there is a large-scale war, the general soldiers, some local officials, and big landowners will temporarily recruit or conscript, and this is the reason why the general soldiers have to privately support their families, because the military salary is insufficient, the general soldiers can only recruit troops by themselves."
And the current new military system of conscription and conscription also comes from this, because the guard system has been abolished for a long time, and the border towns are actually already adopting the conscription and conscription system, but the imperial court has no explicit regulations, it is those generals who spontaneously recruit soldiers, or temporary conscription, and now there are clear regulations, which is better than no rules. ”
He was right, before that, it was only a nominal guard system, but in fact, recruitment was unified, but there was no rule, once the war started, the conscription households were forced to enlist in the army, but those soldiers had long lost their hearts, and they were bullied by you so much, and they asked me to go to war.
Phew!
This is basically indiscriminate refilling.
The ones who really have combat effectiveness are the group of soldiers around the general.
Zhang Heming said suddenly: "Wait, you said that these data are all investigated, then you can come up with specific evidence, how much military pay is missing, you can't have the final say!" ”
As soon as these words came out, many ministers were so frightened that their legs were shaking.
Okay, you Zhang Heming, you want to borrow a knife to kill someone!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
If evidence is presented, how many people will be spared?
Because this is not an isolated case, this is a systemic corruption.
Wanli saw it in his eyes, and he hated it in his heart, how much money did you guys greed for.
Everyone's eyes were locked on Guo Dan.
As long as Guo Dan comes up with evidence, it will be a bloody storm.
This must have involved most of the imperial court.
"Of course I have concrete evidence, but...!"
This time, I almost didn't let people pee their pants.
I heard Guo smile again: "But this is not the point. ”
Zhang Heming said angrily and funny: "This is not the key, so what are you talking about?" ”
"Of course it's a military system!"
Guo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is also talking about military reform, not purging the rule of officials. Where is this money exactly, in fact, it was swallowed up by the old military system, let's take the matter of the general soldier privately supporting the family soldiers.
Those general soldiers don't want to do this, but they have no choice, they have to protect their families and defend the country, but there are no soldiers, how can they protect their families and defend the country, in order not to cause trouble to the court, they can only spend their own money to recruit soldiers, but where is their little money enough! Naturally, there is some illegal income in this.
Besides, some state capitals have less military rations, that's because the adults are in the capital and don't know the hardships of the place, they really can't get so much food, but the imperial court does it according to the rules, and they are helpless. ”
As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the surrounding ministers and said, "Do you think what you said is correct?" ”
"Hmm... There is some truth to that. ”
"Yes, twenty years ago, the treasury was empty, and it was difficult to make up for the military salary, which led to the abolition of the military system in the border towns and was unsustainable.
"Most of them are recruited, but they are all allowed by the imperial court."
"Although this is the ancestral system, but there were only a few people in the border town during the Taizu period, and now there are many people in the border town, there are many people and few places, and it is inevitable that the system of the guard will collapse!"
......
Shen Shixing and Xu Guo looked at them and analyzed them seriously, and what they said was also the truth, the corners of their mouths twitched a few times, and they tried their best to hold back their laughter.
Zhang Heming looked at them angrily.
You corrupt officials really don't have any principles at all.
At the same time, the other party is also scolding his mother in his heart.
If you hadn't asked that sentence, would we have supported Guo Dan.
Don't you know that the person sitting on it is the best at copying houses.
It's not your house, of course you don't have a backache when you speak.
Without waiting for Zhang Heming to speak, Guo Dan immediately said: "Your Majesty is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, you can see the problem at a glance, and propose to reform the military system, cut off all this from the root of the problem, rectify the army, and rejuvenate our Ming Dynasty." As the old saying goes, although the country is big, the warlike will perish; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Without a strong army, there is no talk of peace and prosperity. ”
Wanli pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Guo Dan and said: "You kid has something to say, don't talk nonsense, this emperor through the ages, I am still a little bit behind." ”
Is it just a little bit?
The ministers secretly scolded this dead fat house is really shameless, which emperor is like you, he hasn't seen anyone for half a year, he drinks and fights in the palace every day, and he has to clean up for a few days before the last noon, and the palace is full of cobwebs.
If you don't work, you have to pay more than anyone else.
Li Sancai didn't want to give them the opportunity to brag to each other, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since there are many problems in the military and politics, the reform is naturally a matter of course, but the minister heard that Guo Dan promised in Liaodong that all military salaries would be paid through Yinuo Grain Bank, which... This Weichen didn't quite understand. ”
Wanli nodded and said, "I have decided to temporarily contract the military salary of the Nine Towns to Yinuo Grain Store for a period of three years. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately exploded.
You're going to get paid at the bottom of the kettle!
In this way, our financial routes will be cut off, let alone soup, but we won't even be able to get the dregs.
This money is not in the hands of officials, so how can it be earned.
"Your Majesty, this move must not be done, how can this military salary be contracted to merchants?"
"This army is related to the country, how can it be controlled in the hands of merchants, a little carelessness will make my Ming fall into a place of no return!"
.....
The ministers were really anxious.
Wang Jiaping and some other virtuous people, watching them just swear to speak for Guo Dan, but in a moment, they became so hideous.
It's as ugly as it gets.
Wanli watched them jumping around, but said calmly: "Don't be anxious, this is an expedient measure, as you Aiqing said, the army is related to the country, and the current issue of military salaries has caused the anger of the soldiers, and a little carelessness may lead to a more fierce mutiny."
In order to temporarily stabilize the border towns and appease the soldiers, I contracted the general's salary to Yinuo Grain Store to appease the soldiers, and when the imperial court regained the trust of the soldiers, I would naturally be responsible for the military salaries.
As for whether the general's salary will be handed over to the merchants, hehe, I believe that you Aiqing will definitely help me keep an eye on it, and will never let these merchants come nonsense. ”
You don't need to worry about this, it's strange if you don't stare Guo Dan to death.
As soon as Wanli's words fell, Zhang Heming immediately stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
He is really angry, standing with you people, but it is really insulting, you stinky and shameless, you don't even have the courage to confront Guo Dan, since this is the case, it is better to let Guo Dan contract, at least we imperial historians can also supervise Guo Dan very well.
Shen Shixing and Xu Guo glanced at each other, feeling that this opportunity could not be missed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
But it wasn't us who took the lead, it was you who made the first statement.
Wang Jiaping and some capable people in the DPRK and China also expressed their support when they saw the cabinet stand up.
Because the facts have proved that it is already corrupt, and Wanli still has room for it, but it is only contracted for three years, in other words, as long as the officials are clear, they can still get it back.
This is certainly reasonable.
And those ministers who were excited were suddenly confused.
No... Didn't you say that it was good to deal with Guo Dan?
How...?
As everyone knows, they are ugly, all in everyone's eyes.
Wanli showed a satisfied smile: "As for the specific contract, the household department will discuss with Yinuo Grain Bank." ”
Li Sancai was stunned suddenly, thinking, yes! If it is decided by our household department and Yinuo Grain Bank, then our household department does not need to look at the faces of others. He immediately said, "Weichen obeys." ”
"That's the end of today's noon."
Wan Li said that, he got up and left.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
......
As soon as Wanli left, many ministers immediately brushed their sleeves away angrily.
It's a hell of a thing!
The profits of millions of taels involve how many people have profits.
Shen Shixing and Xu Guo just glanced at Guo Dan slightly, and walked out with a smile on their faces.
After they all left, Guo Dan came out of the main hall, and just after going down the steps, a person suddenly came out on the side.
"What a good way to be a virtuous son-in-law!"
When I turned my head, it wasn't who Xu Mengxi was.
Guo Dan hurriedly saluted and said, "Old man." ”
Xu Mengxi walked over, glanced at the eunuch at the door, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk while walking." ”
"Yes."
Out of the palace gate, Xu Mengxi suddenly asked in a low voice: "Virtuous son-in-law, how much evidence does Your Majesty have in your hands?" ”
Guo Dan was slightly stunned and asked, "Could it be that you are also ...... old man!" ”
Xu Mengxi said: "The old man has been in charge of the Taifu Temple for so many years, can he not get some sludge on his body." As he spoke, he was slightly stunned, "Wait, haven't you investigated everything?" Don't pretend to be stupid here, entertain the old man. ”
Guo Dan smiled and whispered: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I'm all making it up." ”
"What are you talking about, ....... blind!"
Xu Mengxi was shocked, looked left and right, and whispered: "Don't lie to the old man, you just said that you have a nose and eyes." ”
Guo Dan said: "Of course, this story must be told vividly, so naturally there is a nose and eyes." ”
Storytelling?
Xu Mengxi blinked and said, "If you are making it up blindly, then why don't they dare to confront you?" ”
Guo Dan said: "The little son-in-law dares to say that no one in this world knows how deep the water is. Father-in-law, you should know how many people will be involved, and how wide the scope of involvement is, unless you use the entire Jinyiwei, Dongchang, plus my letter and line, check for several years, maybe you can find it out, otherwise, it is impossible to find out the specific data, since you can't find out the specific data, then I might as well make it up myself, anyway, they don't know, but they must all have a share. ”
He has only been back for two or three days, and you just give him the data, and he can't come up with the financial statements so quickly, so there is only one possibility, which is to use his imagination to make things up.
Xu Mengxi suddenly felt palpitations, and there was a cold sweat behind him, and he couldn't help asking: "If they all let you come up with evidence, what can you do?" ”
"That's embarrassing." Guo smiled lightly: "But the son-in-law bets that they don't dare." ”
He's a ruthless man!
