Chapter 594: Intended for Pei Gong

Tobe Shangshu Fang is really a headache, and he really can't do it anymore!

After the change of Gengxu in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the imperial court dispatched troops and sent generals, and the salary was doubled, and it was already difficult to support the household department at that time.

This is also the reason why Emperor Jiajing took silver from the Hebu Tai warehouse at every turn...... The debt is to be paid!

In the 30th year of Jiajing, the border army used 5.95 million taels of silver, which was the first year after the Gengxu Incident, and it was also the year with the most silver.

5.31 million taels in the 31st year of Jiajing, 4.73 million taels in the 32nd year of Jiajing, 4.55 million taels in the 33rd year of Jiajing, and 4.29 million taels in the 34th year of Jiajing; In the 35th year of Jiajing, it was 3.86 million taels, and in the 36th year of Jiajing, it was 3.02 million taels.

For six years, I have been making trouble almost every year, and I have besieged the right guard of Datong for half a year, and the border army's silver has dropped from nearly six million taels to only half of three million taels, and this time the Jimen defense line has been shaken across the board...... It became the last straw that overwhelmed the household.

However, in the past six years, the southeast was full of rebellion and plunder, and in order to train the new army, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, raised several provinces so that the financial revenue of the household department was not as good as a year.

By the end of the 36th year of Jiajing, the household department took inventory, and the warehouse received 2 million taels of silver...... So, Master Fang Blunt habitually sacrificed the treasure money at the end of the year, it's really not that the household department refuses to send money, there is really no way!

The southeast can not lose the center, Huguang, Jiangxi, Liangguang, Sichuan also have to purchase giant trees, Fang Blunt has already sent the east wall to make up the west wall of the trick to the realm, but helpless Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice.

For this reason, since the beginning of the year, the household officials have been a little shameless...... It's not that I'm embarrassed, but in just two months, there have been no less than ten beatings.

It's that no one came to find Fang Dull trouble, after all, those Langzhong, Wailang, and the principal are all from the two lists, but the small officials and clerks of the Thirteen Qing Officials Division below are a bit miserable......

For four consecutive years, in the first half of the year, I can still receive some silver taels and rice, and in the second half of the year, I will be in arrears, and it will be delayed until the end of the year, and then I will get a handful of treasure money that is too hard to wipe my buttocks, who can bear it!

And now it is rumored in Beijing that because Altan Khan made a fuss before, he will start issuing treasure money in the first half of this year...... didn't find Fang Blunt's head directly, which was polite.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was holding the "Book of Ten Thousand Words" and talking eloquently? Emperor Jiajing also had a real headache.

The so-called desireless is rigid? People have already put their words here, and they want to resign and return to their hometowns...... As a rule? Fang Yu is still in good spirits? The body is great, but there is one in seventy this year? It's time to go home and retire.

But Emperor Jiajing really can't let people go, Fang Blunt is gone? Who's going to clean up this mess? Who will carry this black cauldron?

Even if you don't think about it? Just looking at Fang Dut's ability, Emperor Jiajing was unwilling to let go.

In Fang Yu's life, he was elected as an official and a county, and then he was immediately promoted to the governor of Shandong after two years in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Was that ten years of Jiajing? After that, for more than 20 years, he was in the area of money, grain, and households.

He was the prime minister of grain reserves, accumulating more than 2 million quintals of rice, and building 36 granaries; He once was the governor of Caoyun, dredging rivers, reinforcing and guarding? Make the water unimpeded.

After successively serving as the left and right waiters of the household department in Nanjing, Fang Yu was transferred to the left waiter of the household department in Beijing? The change in Gengxu in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, is Fang Yu responsible for raising military salaries? After that, he was promoted to the position of Dasi Nong, and he has been in charge of the country's tax money and grain until now.

How many times the government and the opposition? Emperor Jiajing couldn't find a second candidate who could replace Fang Blund.

Is it really hard to find? In the original space-time? Fang Yu resigned this year, although he was already seventy years old, but he lived until he was over ninety years old, and the court reinstated no less than ten times, but Fang Yu did not accept it.

"The matter of ambergris is suspended, the matter of ambergris is suspended, and the ...... is suspended," Emperor Jiajing spit out this sentence with difficulty.

Seeing that the old man on the other side was still bright-eyed, Emperor Jiajing gritted his teeth and said: "The construction of the three major halls cannot be delayed......

"Your Majesty!" Fang's blunt voice was like a bell, "In the past two hundred years, there are very few giant trees that can be picked, and small trees can be replaced, and then fir trees can be used instead of nanmu." ”

"I know." Emperor Jiajing tilted his head to let go of Fang Dull gaze, and said helplessly: "Fang Qing, there is no need to say anything more about resignation, now there is still a way for him to solve the temporary dilemma?" ”

Able to force Emperor Jiajing, who has been high in the palm of his ministers, to this one, Fang Yu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, looked down at the book of ten thousand words, and said: "There are still five laws." ”

Emperor Jiajing's spirits perked up, "Say it quickly." ”

"First, there is still a number of salt accumulation in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, and the merchant is called to pay silver to Taicang, and add three points to the original price of silver, and the special line is overcharged."

"Second, the arrears of money and grain in various places will be recovered within one year from the 31st year of Jiajing."

"Third, Huguang, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili are in arrears of tax and grain from the 31st year of Jiajing to the 34th year of Jiajing, and they will be levied and converted into different colors, and the treasury silver will be released within one year."

"Fourth, the Ministry of Industry has enough money and grain, and half of it should be returned to the Ministry of Households."

"Fifth, the grain of Nanjing's household warehouse will be temporarily borrowed for three years, and it will be converted by half, and the Taicang silver warehouse will be issued."

After saying this, Emperor Jiajing's head hurt even more!

If you want to get money from those salt merchants, your own words as an emperor are not good!

The arrears of money, grain, and taxes in various localities and provinces shall be recovered within one year...... Just kidding, since Yongle, arrears of money and grain have become a common practice, such as some prefectures and counties in Suzhou have been in arrears for decades, if any Suzhou prefect has to settle old accounts, I am afraid that the officials will not be able to do it.

Snatching money from the Ministry of Works...... Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is a disguise, but if you think about it, you know Yan Shifan's attitude, not that Yan Donglou dares to resist the decree, but that people have legitimate reasons, and the most important task of the Ministry of Industry now is to urge Jumu to rebuild the three major halls as soon as possible.

As for borrowing from the Nanjing Household Department...... Tsk, you can consider it, but I don't think I can borrow much.

Just as Emperor Jiajing was thinking, Fang Dull coughed twice, "There is still a way...... Suspension of the Timber Edition. ”

"Stop?" Emperor Jiajing frowned, looked at Fang Blunt a few times, and said slowly: "I remember, a few days ago, there was a letter in Nanjing to the middle of the matter, please strike Jiangnan to propose." ”

Fang Dull replied very quickly, "The minister's intention is not to strike the levy, but to stop the compilation." ”

Emperor Jiajing raised his eyebrows and cast an inquiring look.

"The so-called promotion is a year according to the routine, but due to the chaos in the southeast, the first class is insufficient, and the next class is proposed to make up for it." Fang Yu explained: "The minister has consulted the official documents, and some prefectures and counties in Nanzhili, Liangzhejiang, and Jiangxi have been promoted to Jiajing for 40 years. ”

Emperor Jiajing immediately understood the implication of this sentence, for the household department, money and grain, money and grain, money in front, grain in the back, and the method of raising the compilation is to replace it with silver, in other words, the method of raising the collection is basically silver, which is too convenient for the household, and there is a lot of space for the means to be used.

After pondering in his heart for a while, Emperor Jiajing shook his head, "It's difficult to save the fire from far away." ”

Fang Yu nodded, and said confidently: "Forty years after Jiajing, the old minister has already returned to his hometown to recuperate, and this statement is only for those who come after." ”

Emperor Jiajing turned his head to look at Huang Jin, then at Xu Wei, who had just come in, and finally asked, "Fang Qing, how many taels of silver do you need to solve a temporary dilemma?" ”

"Datong right guard is the most urgent, and he needs to tattoo 50,000 taels of silver, 20,000 stones of rice, and 10,000 stones of beans." Fang blunt face did not change his color and said: "At the end of last year, the reissue of Lu was all treasure banknotes, and after the year, Lu rice and silver should be issued, a total of 30,000 taels." ”

Xu Wei made a slight calculation in his heart, totaling about 100,000 taels of silver, and paused before nodding slightly to Emperor Jiajing.

Fang Blund, who had been staring at this side with the corner of his eye, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Emperor Jiajing, who had been staring at this side, had the urge to cover his eyes...... Xu Wenchang is smart, but he is too tender, how can he nod immediately at this time!

Emperor Jiajing believes that if he is replaced by Qian Zhancai, he will definitely have a fight with Fang Dut, and it would be good to be able to produce half of it!

Xu Wei reacted at this time, Fang Yu, this old man, entered the West Garden today to ask to see His Majesty, it was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword with the intention of Pei Gong!
