Chapter 235: From County Commander to Governor
Yang Dan is a secretary of the ministry, to be honest, he is not very afraid of an ordinary scholar, after all, Zhang Xuan has not been mixed with the first assistant...... Want to dictate to me, sorry, wait a few more years!
However, for the current situation, especially the situation of officialdom, it made him very frightened, or honestly afraid...... Because this time the civilian community is divided.
If it is said that on the issue of succession or succession, the civil officials are divided into the patriarchal faction and the parliamentary faction, and the two sides are still arguing opinions, but this time it is a real conflict of interests.
To tell the truth, there were many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, but there were not no honest officials, not to mention that there were a large number of centrists, who just followed the crowd.
Others are exempt from taxes and taxes, and they wantonly encroach on the benefits, why do we fake the high and pretend to be a large clove of garlic?
It's not that everyone is like Zhang Xuan, they have to get along with themselves.
In the past, the big guys didn't have a choice, but now they have a choice and can get a stipend...... Anyway, there are not too many fields at home, Qingzhang is Qingzhang, after all, there is a recovery Tianfu to follow.
Thirty taxes are not too high, originally hundreds of acres of land, thousands of acres of land, why bother to take the blame for those hundreds of thousands of acres of wealthy families?
Let them have a little more blood is the way to go!
It's embarrassing to be able to watch those big families, even if they contribute a little money every year, it's worth it.
No one could have imagined that the sad instinct of envy, jealousy and hatred would turn into an excellent quality, and the big guys were all observing, wanting to see how the play would sing.
Seriously, without the full support of the lower-level officials, the princes of the court and the central government felt strong pressure, and they were really unbearable to face the Son of Heaven and the imperial party alone!
"Elder Zhang Ge, I am willing to sign, but I want to ask, not only the gentry and officials in this world are exempt from tax exemption, why do you have to get along with the big guys?"
Zhang Xuan smiled dumbly, "Yang Tianguan, I know, you want to say that the emperor's relatives and relatives, the honorable princes, they don't pay taxes, and there are monks...... But the food must always be eaten one bite at a time, if the gentry can be cleaned up, why can the vassal royal clan be tax-free? How can those warriors and nobles fight with us? ”
Zhang Xuan pulled a chair and sat opposite Yang Dan.
"Yang Tianguan, your ancestor is one of the famous Three Yangs...... They assisted the government in the court, created a prosperous era of Yongle, and the rule of Renxuan! Now that you are a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, don't you want to learn from your ancestors, assist the Sheng Dynasty, and prosper the Ming Dynasty? ”
Yang Dan sighed deeply, "Elder Zhang Ge, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't use it, I don't have that ability!" ”
"No!" Zhang Xuan shook his head, "Lord Yang, it's not that you don't have enough ability, when it comes to talent, you are far better than Zhang Zhang, it's just that you don't want to be like Zhang Zhang, a bastard who offends people!" ”
Hearing Zhang Xuan say this, Yang Dan's face turned red, he was very embarrassed, and he was also the one who scolded Zhang Xuan very hard in private.
But to say that Zhang Zhang's private morality is at a loss, it is really slander!
His ideas and practices are really beneficial to the country and the people!
"Elder Ge, in the final analysis, not everyone is like you, who can face the opposition of so many people alone, although tens of millions of people are gone!"
Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "Lord Yang is telling the truth...... But I'd like to ask about something...... Are you still against Zhang? ”
"This ......" Yang Dan paused, smiled helplessly, he reached out and pulled out a few pieces of letterhead, and lifted the brush.
"Elder Zhang Ge, I'll write a letter to my family now...... I will tell them not to resist the national policy of the imperial court, if it is investigated, the Yang family will take the lead in cooperating, please rest assured that Zhang Ge Lao! ”
Zhang Xuan showed a faint smile on his face, he looked around, there was nothing else, only tea. Zhang Xuan reached out and took a cup of tea, then bowed deeply and sent it to Yang Dan.
This time Yang Dan was frightened, he hurriedly stood up, took the teacup with both hands, and shook his head at Zhang Xuan again and again.
"Elder Ge, you, what are you doing here? Do you want to torture the lower officials? ”
Zhang Xuan chuckled and shook his head, "A cup of tea can reduce one enemy, it's worth it!" ”
Yang Dan's head shook even more, he reached out and grabbed the teacup, drank it dry in one gulp, and then hit it hard. said politely: "Elder Zhang Ge, don't think that you are the only one for the country and the people." Yang Dan put his words here, as long as I am still in the ministry, I will fully assist, and work with you to promote the reform of the law, clear the acres of land together, and clean up the taxes...... Which official dares to disobey the yang and the yin, and dare to disobey you, Zhang Ge Lao, I, Yang Dan, will not agree! ”
Zhang Xuan was relieved, he stretched out his slap and shook hands with Yang Dan.
"Yang Tianguan, thank you very much. I don't dare to make you obey, and I don't want you to be my minion. We are friends, I only hope that when you encounter something, you can be open and honest with Zhang, let's have a good talk, so Zhang will be grateful. ”
Yang Dan was shocked by Zhang Xuan's words, even when he was Sanyang, the cabinet scholars had never been so humble!
What's more, starting from Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, the old leaders of the cabinet and the hundred officials are like the prime minister resurrected, who does not regard the hundred officials as subordinate officials, even the official department is no exception. Except for the old fox like Yang Yiqing, everyone else is given for nothing!
Looking at it now, Zhang Xuan really has the bearing of Zaifu!
Looking at Zhang Xuan's back, Yang Dan bowed deeply, "Elder Zhang Ge, the real prime minister!" I'm blessed by God! ”
Yang Dan expressed his heartfelt admiration, but Zhang Xuan at this moment was full of emotion...... In the past, he wouldn't run to talk small, and if you don't agree, that is, you are selfish, fighting against the law, and you are all a bunch of bastards who should be killed.
From a certain point of view, this is not bad at all.
But that's not the attitude of making a big deal. In particular, Wang Yue's design of the allowance made Zhang Xuan refreshed, doing things like this, and behaving like a person...... Only if this is the case, can it be done!
"Master, the disciple has lived for most of his life, and you still taught the disciple!"
Zhang Xuan is really different, in terms of changing the law, his attitude is still resolute, but he is much more flexible in doing things. On behalf of the cabinet, he consulted with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and also went to the yamen of various ministries to listen to everyone's opinions.
After working for more than half a month, Zhang Xuan submitted a cabinet proposal.
He believed that it was very necessary to give allowances to hundreds of officials, but it could not be achieved overnight, and it was necessary to take into account the financial resources of the imperial court and the process of clearing the acres of land.
Therefore, Zhang Xuan suggested that, first of all, all the officials below the fifth grade in the capital should be given allowances, and there is no need to wait for Qingzhang. Locally, it started from Shuntianfu and went all out to promote Qingzhang. This time, except for Huangzhuang, all of them are in the Qingzhang range, and how many fields there are, not a single acre of land, must be included in the fish scale book of the imperial court.
Looking at Zhang Zhang's plan, Zhu Houxi always had a faint smile on his face, Zhang Xuan in the past was just a sharp sword, which could not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt himself, but after this period of tempering, Zhang Xuan became much smarter.
I also know how to buy people's hearts, and I know how to break the face a little bit to avoid making too many enemies.
"I said Xiao Fugui, you, an apprentice, have grown up really fast, so I can rest assured."
Wang Yue has been thinking about ways to make money at home, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xuan would come up with such a plan. It stands to reason that Zhang Xuan's plan is perfect.
There is only one point, why put the pilot in Shuntianfu? Do you want to die of exhaustion as a teacher?
"Hahaha!" Zhu Houxi laughed loudly, "Xiao Fugui, this is definitely Zhang Xuan's incomparable trust in his master, I think you can do anything!" ”
Wang Yue's eyes rolled up, if Zhang Xuan was in front of him, he would definitely smack him in the face!
is still the same sentence, there are too many immortals in Shuntian Mansion, nobles, clans, eunuchs, heroes, and even martial artists, so many people are here, and they are completely clear, just turn their faces with them, Wang Yue doesn't feel that he has that ability.
"Your Majesty, otherwise, you, as the Son of Heaven, are responsible for cleaning your own feet, so that people will be impressed and praise Your Majesty's holy virtues......"
"Get out!"
Zhu Houxi was so angry that he cursed, you kid is too inauthentic, I have been married for several months, and the queen's stomach has not moved, how can I have the time to worry about these trivial matters!
However, seeing Wang Yue's embarrassed look, Zhu Houxi sighed.
"Little Fugui, I won't embarrass you, first of all...... The Queen Mother gave me two million taels, and this money will be given to you, if you can smooth out the Shuntian Mansion, this is yours. Secondly, I will give you the royal flag, the sword of Shang Fang, and the title of the right deputy capital to serve as the governor of Shuntian! The whole of Gyeonggi has been handed over to you, how about it, I'm interesting enough, right? ”
Wang Yue was taken aback, because in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as a Shuntian Governor!
The Son of Heaven guarding the country is not an empty word, the area around the capital, in fact, the power is in the hands of the Governor of Xuanda, including Baoding Mansion and other places, which are also under the management of the Governor of Xuanda.
Now get a Shuntian governor, obviously rob the job of the governor of Xuanda!
"Don't worry, I will summon the Governor of Xuanda back to the capital and not let him hinder him...... You kid is the official of the frontier! ”
Wang Yue's mind was messy, and he jumped from the county order to the governor, this step was a bit big!
Seeing Wang Yue's surprised face, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but hehe: "It's okay, you are sixteen, not too young, I will ascend the throne in the fifteenth, and a mere feudal official can scare you like this?" You kid doesn't have much to offer! ”
