In fact, Wanli didn't find any excuse to cover up anything, he directly stated that he wanted Guo Dan to shoulder the responsibility of a teacher, and his intention was also very obvious, what Guo Dan could teach, of course, was to teach to do business, so in the future, Yinuo Yaxing will definitely be passed on to the third prince.

Regarding this intention, even if Xu Wei didn't say it, Guo Dan would be able to guess one or two at this time.

This is also normal, you Guo Dan have already promised to send Yinuoya to me, and I will naturally arrange a successor.

It's just that according to this, Guo Dan himself couldn't think that Wanli might want to borrow a nuoya line to abolish Chang Liyu.

As for the prince, Wanli naturally won't reveal anything to Guo Dan, nor will he reveal what he thinks to anyone.

This is absolutely top secret.

Before Guo Dan left, Wanli didn't forget to tell him to make the "Tianyan Coins" as soon as possible, and I couldn't wait to take the silver and look in the mirror.

......

This year, there will be no gifts for the holidays, and only one nod will be charged for gifts.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, many people came to exchange a nod currency for New Year's money.

For no other reason than because the coin is so beautiful.

They had never seen such a beautiful coin in their lives.

But that's not the official release.

At present, Guo Dan only plans to popularize a nod currency in the four provinces of Henan first.

However, there are not many people in the capital who oppose a no, because the main reason for opposing a nod is that this nod has the privilege of exempting fire and consumption tax, so the local government hates a nod very much.

This fire tax is becoming more and more important for the local government's expenditure.

However, in the central government, there are a large number of anti-Zhang Juzheng people, and this fire consumption tax is often the reason for them to criticize Zhang Juzheng, after all, this fire consumption tax was born from a whip law.

They can't change their tune now.

So there is no problem in issuing a nod currency in the capital.

It's just that Guo Dan himself is more cautious, and he plans to issue it in Shandong first, so that the people of Shandong can immediately enjoy the benefits of the New Deal.

As an old father-in-law, Xu Mengxi naturally does not need to send someone to exchange for a Nuo coin.

Even if Guo Dan doesn't understand these etiquette, Kou Shouxin will teach him.

Today, Guo Dan sent Xu Mengxi a nod worth 5,000 taels.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you are too polite, but you can't afford to send so much."

Xu Mengxi laughed.

Guo Dan said: "Son-in-law, didn't I hear that the little uncle has many children, so he sent a little more." ”

"Who are you listening to when you have so many children?" Xu Mengxi immediately warned Guo Dan, don't spread this kind of bad thoughts in my Xu Mansion.

“.......？”

Guo Dan really slapped the horse's fart on the horse's leg this time, which is a typical negative teaching material.

Aunt Xu on the side also saw Guo Dan slapping the fart crookedly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a gloating smile.

Who knew that Xu Mengxi suddenly glared at her daughter, "Feng'er?" Are you embarrassed to laugh? No matter how willful Rong'er is, but in terms of giving birth to children, she has never disappointed the old man? Look at you? How old is it? But you don't even have a child, and if you look at the women of your generation, who doesn't have children around your knees? Don't you feel ashamed? ”

Aunt Xu immediately looked confused.

What a newspaper this is true!

Guo Dan desperately held back a smile.

Xu Mengxi glared at Guo Dan again? said: "Don't laugh, you should be more ashamed as a man." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "Old man, this birth is a matter of two people? I can't do it alone? ”

"So? It's Feng'er who doesn't want to. Xu Mengxi faintly glared at Aunt Xu.

"Huh."

Guo Dan smirked silently.

Aunt Xu was silent? Isn't she thin-skinned? This has been taught from childhood to adulthood? Got used to it? She was afraid that this son-in-law would act together to shadow her.

In fact, Xu Mengxi didn't have much to do with this daughter, so he said to Guo Dan again: "A man like you, the old man is really the first time I've seen it." ”

Guo Dan pointed out: "Such a daughter like Madame, who is both civil and military, is even more rare in the world." ”

Xu Mengxuan's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly cleared up the relationship? "Although my Xu family is a family of Jiangmen? But also limited to men? What is this ability to dance? It's not the old man who asked someone to teach her. ”

Aunt Xu saw that they were endless, so she changed the topic and said, "Daddy, don't you talk to your husband about Taifu Temple?" ”

Xu Mengxi waved his hand and said, "Then you and the couple will talk about it when they go back to the room." "Talking? He said to Guo Dan again: "Virtuous son-in-law, let's live here today." ”

Guo glanced at Aunt Xu, thinking, I don't want to sleep on the sofa on this cold day, and said with a smile: "There are too many affairs this year, and there are still many things waiting for my son-in-law to deal with, so I'm afraid I can't spend the night here." ”

Xu Mengxi immediately said: "Feng'er, you can go back with Guo Dan later, so you can help." ”

Obviously, he wants to assist Guo Dan.

But Guo Dan didn't feel that he was so unbearable, this kind of thing still needed the help of his father-in-law, and said with a smile: "Then there is no need, my wife and I will have to go south next year, and we may have to go for a few months, so my wife will stay here to accompany my father-in-law more." ”

"Alright then!"

Xu Mengxi was not reluctant, this Xu Jirong was not at home, of course he also hoped that his daughter could be by his side, and asked, "What is the situation in the south?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The situation is still relatively grim, but the son-in-law thinks that this is the trend of the times, and those people are still trying to take advantage of the mantis, which is really beyond their means." ”

Xu Mengxuan said: "Having said that, you also have to be careful, those people are not easy to deal with." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "The son-in-law remembers the teachings of the old man. ”

Xu Mengxi can't say anything about this, he can't understand this situation now, this is no longer a traditional political struggle, so he doesn't bother to bother with this brain, and leaves it to Aunt Xu to think about.

In fact, don't talk about him, for the entire Ming Dynasty, the end of this year is a New Year with no ending.

From cabinet reform to the expansion of the dental industry.

This also includes the struggle between Guo Dan and the powerful, and the struggle between the powerful and the cabinet.

At the same time, the emperor was still hiding in the deep palace, making his own calculations.

This even leads to the lack of New Year's flavor throughout the New Year's Festival, and no one is in the mood to celebrate the New Year, because no one knows what will happen next year.

This is rare in non-war times, when the ruling circles of the country have no idea of the future of the country.

But it can also be seen that next year will be a year of great change.

And the facts prove it.

As soon as the New Year passed, the Cabinet was in a hurry to return to their posts, and they were already in a hurry.

But in fact, there is still more than half a month for the New Year.

When they returned, the officials all returned.

Because the cabinet has not officially announced how to restore the examination law, of course this has to keep an eye on the cabinet, after all, everyone is still very jealous of Shen Shixing, the old fox, this support is support, and the heart of the embankment is still indispensable.

What they never expected was that the fat house also went to work and held a cabinet meeting in Wuying Palace.

What a surprise!

Because in general, fat houses have to take at least one month more than ministers.

Otherwise, how can it be called a fat house.

"I've read your suggestion carefully, and it's very good." Wanli changed his words and said, "But some aspects are not very carefully considered. ”

Shen Shixing asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to?" ”

Wanli said: "If the people are hiding everywhere, evading taxes, and having chaotic household registrations, you will not give a specific solution." ”

Shen Shixing was slightly stunned, at present, it is only to strengthen the power of the cabinet, and it has not yet been involved in this aspect, and seeing that Wang Jiaping wanted to explain, he hurriedly said: "Weichen is stupid, and he has not been able to find a solution for the time being." ”

Wanli said: "In fact, about this matter, when the military system was reformed last time, I already talked about it, and those border generals adopted soldiers and slaves are some people? It's not a soldier household, or a craftsman household, why the soldier household, the craftsman household will be reduced to this, is because the previous household registration system was too harsh on the craftsman household and the soldier household, which led to this phenomenon, and now the border towns have all abandoned the household registration system, I think the whole country should follow suit, abandon the previous household registration system, and everyone uses a unified household registration. ”

This is really a big move for the new year!

The ministers were all shocked.

Wang Jiaping immediately said: "Your Majesty, this household registration system involves the ancestral ......!" ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wanli said: "Is the ancestral system that exists in name only?" ”

Wang Jiaping was stunned.

Can you say that?

Wanli said: "Don't mention the ancestral system to me again, the rules set by Taizu back then, and now they have become a means for you ministers to make profits, Taizu cherishes the soldiers, and everyone knows it, but now the soldiers have become the domestic slaves of generals and magnates, and their status is not as good as that of beggars, you are not defending the ancestral system, but your own interests, I believe that Taizu is in the spirit of heaven, and he will support me." ”

"The minister is guilty."

The ministers immediately knelt down.

Wanli said: "From now on, the previous household registration system will be abolished, and the people of the whole country will adopt private households. ”

Regarding the abolition of the old household registration system, he has been planning for a long time, and the most important purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the people.

And as far as profit is concerned, he is now hiring people to work, why should you use free labor.

It really doesn't make sense.

This will naturally lead to greater support from the business class.

"Commandment."

In fact, Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, and Xu Guo all supported the abolition of the military household and craftsman household system, which was indeed harmful, just because it was set by Taizu, and they didn't dare to say it.

"Get up."

After they stood up, Wanli continued: "When I reformed the military system, I promised the soldiers that I would never treat them badly again, and in previous years, the soldiers did not get the military salary they deserved, I will never allow this kind of thing to continue to happen. ”

Shen Shixing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue also shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

This Xu Menghui is Guo Dan's father-in-law, he asked Xu Mengxuan to be responsible for the military salary, but Sima Zhao's heart is well known, that is, to ensure that the contract, this is actually to defend the emperor's own interests, if the military salary is not controlled in his hands, how to control the army.

Of course, they don't have good opinions.

The key is that there is no conflict with the reform, Wanli only asked a department under the household department to be responsible for military salary expenditure, and on the surface, it only means that the emperor attaches great importance to the army, and the financial power is still in the hands of the household department.

Knowing that this is not over yet, Wanli said: "After the abolition of the old household registration system, the imperial court will encounter some problems in selecting generals, and I have decided to promote martial arts, but I plan to adopt the method of the academy, and I will change the former Xichang into a military academy, which is dedicated to training generals for the country." Of course, I also know that the treasury is empty, so I don't need the treasury to allocate this money, and I will take it out. ”

The hearts of the ministers were suddenly filled with depression.

We didn't say that the treasury was empty, and even if the treasury was empty, there would still be money to build an academy.

They also understood in their hearts that the emperor's move was to break the hereditary system of generals and strengthen his control over the army.

It's a slippery routine.

But they all have no opinions, they all know that this year is a very critical year, there is a possibility of moths, it is an undercurrent, in this situation, the emperor will inevitably strengthen the control of the army, although this is unexpected, but also reasonable.

Moreover, it is also a good thing for them that the emperor has strengthened his control over military power.

After all, it was impossible for them to control the military power themselves, and the emperor supported them.

This will also lay a solid foundation for the reform of the DPRK and China.
