Chapter 54: Trilateral Governors

Zhu Qizhen also believes that Yu Qian is not the kind of person who raises taxes casually, since he dares to say it, he can show that the normal commercial trade tax on the canal should be able to reach more than one million taels.

It is only necessary to rectify the banknote customs, strictly prohibit officials and soldiers from carrying them, and officials to evade taxes. to reach that number.

Although I do this, I don't know how many powerful people I will offend. Yu Qian probably didn't think about it.

But Zhu Qizhen had to deny Yu Qian's plan after all.

It's not that Yu Qian's plan is not good enough, but that there is a difference in strategic direction.

If Zhu Qizhen still had self-confidence before, his choice was right, it was a correct path to calm the border troubles first, and then govern the country, if he didn't do this, there would be such and such problems in the future.

But now, Zhu Qizhen doesn't think so.

Because of political matters, what is absolutely right or wrong?

After this period of weakness, it is true that he can recover first, but he will not have a chance in the future?

Not necessarily, he will always die when he gets old first. Now that many people on the grassland do not live long, Zhu Qizhen is estimated to be the first to be limited, and it will be within ten years.

It may not be impossible to rectify the country first, and then fight first.

However, he understands that it is absolutely wrong to arbitrarily change the current strategy.

Since he has embarked on this road, and has paid so much manpower, material resources, and energy. Changing the current strategy because of some reluctance will not only waste all the previous efforts, but also cost more manpower and material resources when you do it again in the future.

The Ming Dynasty is like a carriage, driving to the left, there are hundreds of people to die, and driving to the right also requires the lives of countless soldiers.

This paradox, others are just thinking about it, but Zhu Qizhen has to make such a choice every day.

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while, and said: "Mr. Xin, I know it, but now that the imperial court is in full swing, I really haven't experienced the operation of the canal and the Huai River." ”

"I called Mr. here this time, in fact, I also have something to help him."

Yu Qian's face seemed to be a little gloomy, and he said, "The minister understands, Your Majesty, please speak." ”

So Zhu Qizhen explained the various problems of the tea horse in the northwest and the disadvantages one by one. said: "Such an intricate connection, I just need Mr.'s Heavenly Divine Sword, please ask Mr. to help me." ”

Yu Qian said: "The minister dares to disobey his orders, but Your Majesty, the internal situation is complicated, and the minister also has to put forward a few conditions." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, please speak?" ”、

Yu Qian said: "In the northwest of Chenzhen, it is necessary to unify the powers, otherwise it will not be possible." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I take Mr. as the governor of the three sides, control the upper and lower parts of Shaanxi, and have been in various military towns, with the rank of university scholar. ”

To tell the truth, Zhu Qizhen, from the bottom of his heart, actually does not want to have a pattern of using civil affairs to control military force, and does not want to become a civilian official

aspects.

But there is a status quo that Zhu Qizhen has to admit.

Among the civilian officials, there may be both civil and military officials, but there are few such people among the military generals, and some local affairs are not divided into military and civilian affairs.

It's like now, in the matter of tea and horses, there are many guards and even generals involved, if Yu Qian doesn't have the power to control the army, how can Yu Qian do things?

If a military general is sent over, even if he has the power to control the army, can he still do a good job of tea and horses?

It's simply impossible.

This is a last resort.

And Yu Qian is not a university scholar at one time, after all, Yu Qian is outside, and he is a university scholar, but he has added some political treatment, and he is not in the decision-making center.

Always give Yu Qian some progress in the officialdom.

Yu Qian said: "The minister wants to take a part of the Beijing camp for the Chinese army, the situation in the northwest, although the minister does not know, but he has also heard of it, His Majesty wants to cut from here, and he must make a drastic move." This matter is implicated in the army, and the ministers don't know who is credible, and there must be a battalion of soldiers as a last resort. ”

Zhu Qizhen took a deep look at Yu Qian and said, "I'm right." ”

What Yu Qian said is certainly reasonable, but Yu Qian still has a reason for doing this, that is, to give Zhu Qizhen a reassurance.

Although the situation in the northwest is complicated, it is not so complicated that it caused a large-scale rebellion in the army because of the tea and horse incident in the northwest.

In many cases, politics is nothing more than hitting the bottom, not the top.

The local generals who really have real power are just cutting off their financial routes, as long as they are sensible, it is nothing more than a fine of three glasses of wine, not an example, and then find some scapegoats.

After all, Zhu Qizhen certainly doesn't want to see local instability, but do local generals really have the courage to fight against the Ming Dynasty?

There is also none.

After all, this is not the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, with Yu Qian's wrist, it would be too nonsense to find a general who could be trusted.

It's nothing more than Yu Qian who feels that his power in the northwest is already covering the sky with one hand. The power is too heavy, and the Jingying is carefully managed by the emperor.

Take away the Beijing camp as a Chinese army.

Therefore, you can use the power of Jingying to do things for yourself, and you can also let Your Majesty know. He Yu Qian is under His Majesty's control at all times.

This is just a small tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, and it goes without saying that they all understand it.

Yu Qian said: "Although the minister is no longer in the river, the matter of the river is very important, and the minister who is not honest and honest cannot be competent." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What do you mean? ”

Yu Qian said: "Cao Nai is full of talent, it's a pity to be far away from the border. ”

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a long time after hearing this.

Whether Cao Nai has the ability or not, of course he is.

Otherwise, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu would not have successively elected Cao Nai to serve as the first assistant to the cabinet, and Cao Nai also did a lot of things when he was in office in Yunnan

, support King Xiang, appease the people, and so on.

Yunnan officials praised Cao Nai's wisdom.

Zhu Qizhen knows this.

Now, the situation is different from the beginning, although Zhu Qizhen doesn't want Cao Nai to enter the center, but there is nothing wrong with letting him serve as a magistrate.

Wang Zhi has been in Nanjing, in fact, it can be regarded as reuse.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care about Cao Nai.

After all, Zhou Chen had already cleaned up the team left behind by Cao Nai, and five or six years was enough time for the center to undergo vicissitic changes.

Let Cao Nai come back, it may not be impossible.

After all, he has served as the governor of Yunnan for two terms, so he can't let him stay in Yunnan for the rest of his life.

Although Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to govern the Huai River now, the method given by Yu Qian must be implemented. After all, the imperial court is now very short of money.

If a million taels of silver can be received on the canal, it is also a large amount.

If you want to reach this number, ordinary ministers will never be able to do it, and you must be a highly respected and hard-headed minister in order to resist internal and external pressure.

In this way, Cao Nai is also a suitable candidate.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen suddenly had an idea.

That is, Yu Qian said so much before, not necessarily to foreshadow the final recommendation.

Generally speaking, important appointments to ministers will be ventilated in advance, and Yu Qian really didn't know before entering the palace, would he be going to the northwest in the future?

Zhu Qizhen savored it in his heart, and then left it behind.

As an emperor, there are some things that you don't need to think too clearly.

When Zhu Qizhen read "Warring States Policy", he sometimes sighed that the monarchs of all countries are fools, knowing that these lobbyists are here with various purposes, why do they still listen to their words?

Isn't it self-defeating?

Zhu Qizhen sat in the position of emperor for a long time before he understood.

In his position, who did not come to him with all kinds of intentions, carefully analyzed, even the most loyal courtiers are inevitably selfish.

But is it because of this selfishness that there is no need to use?

Of course not.

It doesn't matter what they have, what matters is whether what they say is useful or beneficial to them.

Cao Nai's life will not want to enter Beijing, that's for sure.

Even if Zhu Qizhen agrees, the ministers below will not agree.

Even if Cao Nai has no political future, where is his qualifications, no matter who he is, whether it is a relative of a minister, a civil official or a scholar, he must give Cao Nai face.

Cao Nai's body is upright, and if he kills him, he will not be in the same stream as others. He is a capable minister himself, and with him sitting in the canal, Yu Qian's estimate of the number will definitely be reached.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, just according to Mr.'s wishes." ”

Yu Qian no longer had any conditions, and the advancement of the tea horse matter accelerated all of a sudden.
