See Long Zaitian Chapter 173 The court will play right
"Thank you Your Majesty and you for your concern, even if I can't stand up, I don't have any loss, I can still do other things normally, I can continue to serve Your Majesty, and please don't be angry with others." Chen Ye said it sincerely. This made Emperor Han Qing feel a little moved, after all, he was in a wheelchair, and he had to contribute to the country.
"En, you have a heart, someone's minister has a lot of complaints about your behavior, you can tell them about it today" Emperor Han Qing pulled out an introduction, didn't speak, and handed over the rest to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye turned to look at the ministers around him and bowed: "Everyone, do you have any questions?" ”
Originally, a group of people were going to pour dirty water on Chen Ye at today's court meeting, but when they saw Chen Ye like this, they fell into the well, is it harmful to morality, but now many people are speechless for a while. After all, if you embarrass a disabled person, you will definitely be ridiculed by many people and even enter the annals of history.
It can be seen that many people are embarrassed to stand up and say that it is the first time. Chen Ye said to himself: "The group of people I killed in the vegetable market in the capital a few days ago were all evil, for example, Tian Gaochi of the Ministry of Industry embezzled the materials and money of the imperial court, and it was shoddy, causing the weapon to break when it was touched. A total of 150,000 pieces of ordnance were scrapped, and 300,000 taels of bribes were embezzled. According to the law of my Zhongshan country, the nine tribes are punished. There are also some people who privately start newspapers and slander the imperial court, which is also the law of the imperial court, and these people are still from the criminal department. In response to whether the Jinyi Guard killed indiscriminately, we Jinyi Guard killed all the people who should be killed, and I brought all the files here, and now I will read them for your Excellency and Your Majesty."
After speaking, Chen Ye waved his hand and asked the guards on duty to bring up all the papers, what Chen Ye said was the truth. The human and material evidence are complete, and the minister carefully checked them one by one, and found that Jin Yiwei handled the case meticulously and rigorously, and he would carefully check and check every trace of evidence, and he really had nothing to say.
"Why do you want to kill all those who sell salt?"
Chen Ye smiled and said, "Why did I kill those smuggled salt sellers, their salt can't be eaten for a long time, although it's cheap." There are a lot of toxins, and half of the villages near the capital have died because of the cheap salt, and everyone should have heard of this. Moreover, since the salt was controlled by the government and managed by the Chamber of Commerce, the tax revenue of the Chamber of Commerce accounted for forty to fifty of the profits, and all this money went into the household department. Hubu Shangshu, look at how much tax money you collected? ”
He handed over his question to Tobe Shangshu to answer, and Tobe Shangshu stood up. took out the booklet that he had with him, and said slowly: "The Chamber of Commerce sells salt for a tax, and the total tax revenue is 500,000 taels a month, and 6 million taels a year. Coupled with other taxes of the Chamber of Commerce, basically the overall tax revenue for a year is 7.8 million. ”
The main thing is that the quality of salt is better and cheaper, and taxes have increased.
As soon as this data came out, hundreds of officials were shocked, everyone knew that the Chamber of Commerce was more profitable, but they didn't expect it to be so profitable and have such a big tax. The Chamber of Commerce's annual tax revenue catches up with the country's tax revenue. This is a good thing, the court will not be short of money, and many ministers have begun to make their own small calculations in their hearts.
The two princes saw that Chen Ye's eyes were fanatical, if they could put Chen Ye's Chamber of Commerce in their own hands, they would be rich and rival the country, wouldn't it be trivial to have a throne?
"Chen Ye, you are a rich country," a minister sighed.
"Actually, I'm poor, my lords. The adults know that the cost of the school last year was four or five million taels, and I still have to feed the 80,000 people in the canal, and I have to get used to their food, drink, and clothing, and I have to pay wages for their work, and I will pay compensation for the expropriation of land, ranging from several dozen taels to one hundred taels, and I will pay five million taels of silver for the land compensation alone. I also have to hire local labor, and they also need to be paid. This is still a section we have built, and it has not yet reached the Yellow River. It is expected that the next will be more expensive. I won't talk about the rest of my daily expenses. Do you still think I'm rich? I'm in debt right now. Do you know that I don't buy a house on a large scale, right?" I didn't expect Chen Ye to say this, it is true that Chen Ye spent a lot of money, after all, the construction of the canal must use the power of the whole country It will take four or five years, just relying on Chen Ye, it is indeed a lot of pressure.
When the ministers thought about it, it was true that Chen Ye had not purchased a mansion, and the money turned out to be in place.
"Then why do you embarrass those teachers, they are all teachers from the former school, why are you not just a word. Do you still have all of you in this room? It's hard for any minister not to study hard to get to this day. The prince stood up and directly put everyone in the court on the opposite side of Chen Ye.
"I believe in your abilities, but not everyone is suitable to be a teacher, and if you really want to come to my school, I welcome you. Everyone can sign up, but you need to submit a paper of your own opinions, the paper is 10,000 words, express your own opinions, and use facts to prove the opinions. Once you enter the school, you are not allowed to talk about politics or form cliques. If you really have the energy and intention, I have brought an article from the teacher at the school, and I can show it to you. As long as everyone feels unconvinced, they can challenge" After speaking, Chen Ye took out a stack of test papers and quotation marks for articles.
Emperor Han Qing also felt strange, how could a teacher go to school to be a teacher and still need to do questions, wait for Zhou Gonggong to take out the test paper and take a look. The emperor knows what it means, this is a test of professionalism, and many of the questions are controversial places in Confucianism, or relatively obscure places. This requires the teacher to be very proficient in Confucianism, and the student can answer directly when asked.
The ministers below look at this question, it's really perverted, if you do it yourself, it is estimated that you may not necessarily pass.
It's so difficult for me to go, how many chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, how many rabbits, many ministers haven't done it for a long time, I feel that these questions are difficult, and if I really do it, the discoverer himself won't know it at all.
"Actually, my lords, my mind is on the court every day, and it is normal for me to be relatively unfamiliar with learning when I am busy. Teachers in our school are in the school almost every day. And some officials can make cameo appearances to give lectures, which requires higher professionalism. Your shoulders are the whole country, and the shoulders of all teachers are hope for the future. I don't look down on you, but I admire you, and if I were you, I guess this department wouldn't turn the world upside down. I am not as good as you in governing the country, I admire you" After speaking, Chen Ye saluted again.
At this time, many officials also saluted, after all, what Chen Ye said was very reasonable, and it was actually a good place to go to school to teach after retirement, and many people had already thought that it would be good to have such a day in school.
"Then why did you slaughter the leader of the Jinyi Guard?" The second prince also stood up and brought it up.
"I have said before, and now I will explain again in front of the civil and military officials, that the Jinyi Guard is only subordinate to His Majesty, and not to any prince or individual. Jin Yiwei can only be His Majesty's, Fu Junda seized power without His Majesty's permission, slaughtered Jin Yiwei, and promoted his henchmen. In fact, he intended to be complicit, but in fact, considering that Fu Junda's sister was His Royal Highness's favorite concubine, he just gave up. Otherwise, ......" Chen Ye looked at His Majesty after speaking, and the meaning was very simple, if you are not a prince, your Lao Tzu is the emperor. No matter who it is, Jinyiwei will not show mercy.
"Then what do you say about the deal with the Barbarian Khan?" The second prince continued to ask unrelentingly.
"This is a national strategy I have nothing to comment, in fact, you don't have to worry at all, you can learn from Guo Yao of the Ministry of Etiquette, who often criticizes me, and on many occasions accuses me of being too businessman. But there is no corruption, no bribery, there is only one wife in the family, and the two of them are affectionate and loving. I won't move him, I can't move either. There are too few officials in the court who want him to be like a lotus, "out of the mud but not stained, clear and rippled but not demonic".
He blamed me, and I felt honored!
Chen Ye pulled out Guo Yao, the meaning is very clear, look at the people. I'm relatively clean, I just want to find him without excuses, if you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid.
"I, Chen Ye, am not the Lord of Yama, I just kill those who are extremely vicious, or hypocrites. We pay attention to evidence, will not kill indiscriminately, and will not fabricate evidence. Everyone can contribute to His Majesty with peace of mind," Chen Ye finally made a guarantee.
