Zhu Houxi, who has not had a strong sense of existence recently, suddenly received a note, which directly changed him from an ordinary guy to a spiritual guy, this proposal is really moving.

Zhang Xuan, who had just been promoted to the new champion of the military department, proposed to build an outer city outside the Beijing division to wrap the capital.

The advantage of this is obvious, it can enclose some key buildings, such as the Xiannong Altar and the Temple of Heaven, into the city wall and protect them.

Just imagine, if the emperor goes to worship the heavens, and suddenly a Tartar kills him, then the fun will be great.

Although this possibility is very small, it has to be guarded against, especially when he learned that the shortage of the forbidden army was so serious, Zhu Houxi almost had a heart disease, and he must strengthen his precautions, at least to protect the capital.

Secondly, use the displaced people in the city to build an outer city, and then settle the displaced people by the way to solve the problems of people's livelihood. Let the capital no longer have the trouble of being homeless, this is his new monarch's virtue and politics!

Who doesn't want to be a little cleaner and tidy in front of their home!

Other places may not be able to do it, but the Son of Heaven cannot be sloppy.

Zhu Houxi also wanted to buy people's hearts and increase the emperor's authority.

There is another point, that is, the old lady is about to enter Beijing.

It's a shame to say that Princess Jiang is also unlucky enough.

When Zhu Houxi entered Beijing, it took less than a month, and she tossed for several months, or is it about to ...... That's too slow, isn't it?

What's wrong? Even if it's climbing, it's time to crawl, right?

Speaking of which, it is still a matter of reputation, Zhu Houxi insisted on welcoming the old lady with the gift of the queen mother, and the Ministry of Rites had to make a queen mother...... The two sides were at a stalemate, and there was also a matter of Zhang Xuan making a fuss in Fengtian Temple.

Generally speaking, Zhu Houxi began to have the strength to fight back, and now he wants to do a few earth-shattering things in one go, and completely establish the victory!

Give the old lady the respect she deserves, and let the old lady live in a clean capital......

After having these plans, the more Zhu Houxi thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Zhang's suggestion was so good that he couldn't sleep.

After reading it again and again, three or four times, Zhu Houxi was sure that there was no problem, he didn't bring Wang Yue to discuss, so he issued an order early and called all the ministers.

Zhu Houxi's face was flushed, full of energy, he circulated Zhang Zhang's recital to the cabinet and the adults, and then said happily: "Everyone, Aiqing, Zhang Zhang's proposal is very appropriate, taking into account the people's livelihood and defense, I think it should be implemented immediately, what does the cabinet mean?" ”

Zhu Houxi directly set the tone, Yang Tinghe was expressionless, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, it is just civil engineering, and it cannot be moved lightly." It seems that the opinions of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs are still to be followed. ”

was named by Shoufu, Lin Jun and Yang Tan stood up together.

There is no doubt that these two are Yang Tinghe's henchmen.

"Your Majesty, at present, the livelihood of the people of the Ming Dynasty is poor, and if a big work suddenly arises, I am afraid that it will hurt the people's strength. What's more, if you want to build an outer city, I'm afraid that millions of people will be needed, so many people gather in Beijing, in case there are any bad people who fan the flames, the consequences are even more unimaginable. So the old minister thinks that he should think twice! ”

Lin Jun was resolute and directly rejected Zhu Houxi's proposal.

Yang Tan was relatively soft, but he also had this attitude, "Your Majesty, the current household department is too empty, prepare for the ceremony, reward meritorious soldiers, and rectify military affairs...... These items have already emptied the treasury. At present, the Beijing officials are in serious arrears, and they all point to the autumn grain into Beijing, and within a year and a half, they really can't draw out the silver and two coins of grain, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate it in detail! ”

The people can't be requisitioned, and there is no money.

If you want to repair the outer city, it's a dream!

Yang Tinghe felt that it was almost over, so he planned to summarize two sentences and extinguish the unrealistic illusions of young people!

But he underestimated Zhu Houxi's will, and the little emperor thought about it for a night, how could he give up easily.

"I know that the household is empty, and I also know that it is not easy to recruit people. But I feel that the outer city still needs to be repaired. It is possible to build a section temporarily, and the people will rely on the displaced people in the capital, and the number of additional requisitions will not be too much. As for the funds, I have thought of a way, and I plan to borrow a little from you Aiqing for the time being! ”

Yes!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Borrow money?

It's almost the same for money!

After all, who has the courage to ask the emperor for money!

The big guy has gone from being cold just now to being angry. Actually let us pay, is there any heavenly reason?

Yang Tinghe coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, the ministers of the court, honest and self-controlled, I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with much money, and it is even more far from building an outer city." The old minister thought that even if he wanted to repair the city, he should start from the main lesson, and this was the right thing to do! ”

Zhu Houxi said disdainfully: "I also want to do it, but the household department has no money, and I can't afford not to do things, I am willing to pay 200,000 taels from the inside, you can watch it!" ”

After Zhu Houxi finished speaking, he didn't even announce his retirement from the dynasty, he directly changed his comfortable posture, leaning on the dragon chair, he was planning to spend it with these ministers, and he didn't want to leave without paying any money!

Time passed minute by minute, and the entire hall was as quiet as a ghost.

It is said that the Zhu family is wonderful, and now it seems that this word is no longer enough to describe them. Zhu Houzhao is so able to toss, it is already considered the best, but compared with Zhu Houxi, it can be regarded as reasonable and approachable.

Well, it was none other than Zhu Houxi who rehabilitated Zhu Houzhao!

But Zhu Houxi also has his own set of ideas.

Don't cry poor with me, he copied Zhang Heling's house and knew how much property the Zhang family had.

Even if these Wenchen make a few discounts and give one or two million taels, it will still be no problem, it is enough to spread the stall, and as for the rest, we will find a way in the future.

After a long silence, Yang Tinghe was helpless, so he had to stand up, "Minister, minister pledged three thousand taels!" He saw that he really couldn't hide, so he had to pay for it.

But when he said it, Zhu Houxi didn't appreciate it at all, but raised his eyebrows, as if he had been insulted!

Three thousand taels, is it bullying me for not looking at the money?

The first assistant can only come up with such a small amount of money?

Are you Yang Tinghe mocking me, or are I overestimating the ministers?

If the big guys are so incorruptible, the world is really peaceful.

When Zhu Houxi was groaning, some courtiers followed suit, there is a first assistant to lay the foundation, how dare others trespass!

For example, Liang Chu, a university scholar, paid 1,000 taels, Mao Ji paid 800 taels, and when he arrived at Yang Tan, the head of the household department, it was only 500 taels.

The most powerful is still the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lin Jun, "The minister has five hundred texts!" ”

Zhu Houxi laughed when he heard it, "I heard it right, right? Only 500 Wen? ”

Lin Jun was fearless, "Your Majesty, this is a month's vegetable money for the minister's family, and the minister's sleeves are breezy, and there is no money left at home." ”

Lin Jun is proud, not only does he have no money, but he is not like Qiao Yu, who can have a relationship with a rich businessman, he Lin Jun can proudly declare that Lao Tzu is a clean official, and Lao Tzu is invincible!

Lin Jun may be really incorruptible, but with him taking the lead, everyone else has followed suit.

Some people donate ten taels, some people donate three taels, and some people donate 100 taels...... In the end, Zhu Houxi suddenly felt that he was not discussing the repair of the outer city, but had become a bowl and asking for a small amount of money everywhere!

I've become a beggar!

He made a rough estimate, and the total donation of these people was less than 10,000 taels, and he couldn't even buy a few bricks!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are really honest and self-controlled! With you clean officials, I can sit back and relax and be a clean man who rules by arching! ”

Yang Tinghe hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, building an outer city is by no means a trivial matter, and it cannot be completed overnight. It's better to arrange someone to investigate for the time being, wait for the imperial court's finances and taxes to be abundant, and then make another arrangement! ”

Zhu Houxi secretly sneered, it is this set of delaying tactics again, if I agree, I don't know how long I will postpone it!

"Go, call Zhang Xuan." Zhu Houxi commanded angrily.

Not long after, Zhang Xuan rushed over, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the method of donation is okay." Lord Yang Shen Yang is willing to pay 13,000 taels. Lord Wang Yue, 50,000 taels, Cui Shilin 10,000 taels, the minister's family is poor, but he also raised 8,000 ta......els" His words were like a big slap of a pu fan, and they were firmly pumped on the faces of the ministers!
