Chapter 120: The Battle of the Military Department and the Household Department

After Zhu Qizhen came out, he invited Yang Pu to the jade chariot.

Zhu Qizhen's monarchs and ministers settled, and Yang Fu rode outside to accompany him.

Zhu Qizhen sighed: "I wanted to use Xu Qing for a few more years, but I didn't want to, the sky does not follow people's wishes, and I have this hatred, but now the position of the military department cannot be vacant." Who does the gentleman think should be used to take over? ”

Yang Pu said: "Kuang Yu. You can't get around him at the moment. And Xu Xi has already opened up the situation, and Kuang Xiao will definitely be able to do a good job. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let him supplement the book of the military department." ”

In terms of seniority, it is indispensable at any time.

Although Zhu Qizhen can't say that he is too satisfied with Kuang Yu, he has long been used to this kind of result.

It's like looking for a wife, and most of the wives who want to find a soul fit and perfect are single dogs. But most of the people who were willing to live together had wives.

Among the ministers, there are really talented and amazing people, and they are really very found. But most of the qualified bureaucrats who follow the rules are.

At least Kuang Yu is too familiar with the military department, and he can't drop the chain.

But at this moment, Zhu Qizhen remembered Wang Ji again.

In the Yunnan-Guizhou area, there have been rebellions from time to time in recent years, but under Wang Ji's iron-fisted rule, there is no possibility at all, and Wang Ji has also changed his land and returned to several counties.

At least Guizhou is no longer the embarrassing situation of only one county in the province, but now it seems that there are three counties.

The same is true for Yunnan.

Overall, Wang Ji did not make a drastic advance. But it's not slow.

In the future, the magistrates of the two places will learn from Wang Ji, and after one or two hundred years, the Tusi of Yungui will no longer exist.

And King Xiang, with the support of Wang Ji, is expanding his power little by little. Friction with Myanmar is also growing.

However, with the deterrence of the imperial court, it will not be able to set off any big storms for a while.

This is enough for Zhu Qizhen, Wang Ji is simply the southwest pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen also knows that Wang Ji's military talent is definitely not limited to these.

Whenever the secretary of the military department was vacant, Zhu Qizhen had to go through the name Wang Ji from his brain.

Zhu Qizhen always felt that the southwest was not peaceful, and the strategic security of the southwest direction was more important than Wang Ji's return to the military department. And in terms of rank, Wang Ji's return to Beijing and his appointment as the secretary of the military department are a kind of demotion to officials, after all, where is Wang Ji's qualifications.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit.

Zhu Qizhen pressed down this thought, handed Xu Xi's testament to Yang Pu, and said, "Sir, take a look." ”

Yang Pu took it and opened it and looked at it slowly.

Although Zhu Qizhen's jade chariot has undergone special shockproof treatment, after all, it is not as good as today's car, Yang Pu is old and dizzy, and it takes a lot of effort to watch the folds in this kind of rickety car, and he watched it for a long time before he finished reading it.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "What does Mr. think of Xu Qing's words?" ”

Yang Pu didn't say yes, nor did he say bad, and said: "This thing is to be done to make a break." It's just that what does Your Majesty think? ”

Zhu Qizhen has too much influence on the Chi Road, and it can even be said that the construction of the Chi Road, from craftsmen to masters, a whole set of systems was built by Zhu Qi Town.

Therefore, no matter how to deal with the Chidao system, Zhu Qizhen still has to nod.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I'm asking sir? Xu Xi is reasonable, and Zhou Chen of the household department has also made a lot of efforts, and it seems that there is some unkindness in separating Chidao from the household department. ”

"It's hard for me to make a decision for a while."

Yang Pu said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, but in the opinion of the minister, Zhou Shangshu is afraid that he will be willing to hand over this matter to the Ministry of War." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen said: "Where does this start? ”

Yang Pu said: "Zhou Shangshu is too busy. ”

"The reform of the salt law has just ended, and His Majesty wants to implement the salt law, and this matter is also complicated, although the local government is presided over by He Wenyuan, but the household department also has a lot of things to hand over with it."

"Coin minting, money law reform, Zhou Chen has been promoting."

"As for the appropriations from the provinces and ministries, this is also a troublesome matter."

"What's more, His Majesty ordered Yu Qian to clean the land in Hebei and reorganize the yellow books, which made the local people panic, and these yellow books were directly connected with the money and grain of the household department."

"How can the household department not check itself?"

"Although Chidao is important in the household department, it is not irreplaceable."

"Therefore, Zhou Chen probably wants to hand over this matter to the Ministry of War."

Zhu Qizhen listened to what Yang Pu said one by one, and suddenly felt as if he wanted to use Zhou Chen to the end. In fact, it was not Zhu Qizhen who wanted to do this.

But in this era, in Zhu Qizhen's view, there are not many qualified reformers. Zhou Chen is one of them.

And in the eyes of people who want to do things, anywhere, there are endless things in front of him, but in the eyes of the officials who are in the position of corpse meal, big things hit the eyelashes, and they don't feel that there is anything.

As for why Zhou Chen didn't go directly to the book and give this matter to the Ministry of War.

Zhu Qizhen can also think about it himself.

Every bureaucracy naturally has the idea of wanting to inflate. Performance is constantly expanding the staff, expanding the staff, and expanding the staff.

In the process of expansion, each department has benefited.

Zhou Chen, as the secretary of the household department, naturally wanted to protect the interests of the department, and he could not personally stuff the meat of the household department into the mouth of the military department, but the strength of the two sides was different, which illustrated the problem.

Before his death, Xu Xi, the secretary of the military department, still thought about this matter.

But Zhou Chen rarely showed strong performance, at most in the face of the offensive of the military department, a righteous and awe-inspiring rebuttal.

That's pretty telling.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Since Mr. said so, after I go back, I will issue an order to send the original people of Chidao to the military department, but as for the details, Mr. needs to sort it out." ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Yang Pu said: "Lao Chen still did such a thing. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What about the Taifu Temple? ”

Yang Pu said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong, Shaanxi, Taifu Temple don't have to worry about it. It's just that the Taifu Temple in Zhili, Henan, and Shandong can be revoked everywhere. ”

"After all, Emperor Taizong fostered horses in the people's homes, and it was also a last resort, and the ministers knew that this law was especially harmful to the small people, and His Majesty could also take the opportunity to spend this law, if His Majesty's plan was to connect the nine sides with the gallop road, and the two capitals, the horses needed were no less than hundreds of thousands."

"The horses under Hebei Taifu Temple can be recovered from the government. It is also a great good government for the people. ”

"Shuntianfu is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is the time for the people to bathe in the emperor's grace."

I have also talked about horse politics many times before, so I won't say much about it here.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What Mr. said is very true, the Ming Dynasty established the capital in Beijing, but it was the people of Hebei who suffered. ”

Whether it is city building, labor, transshipment, and so on, there is nothing easy for the people of Hebei.

Yang Pu said: "Your Majesty Shengming, it's just that Your Majesty talked about it today, there is one thing, and the minister thinks that Your Majesty should also think about it." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I don't know what Mr. said? ”

Yang Pu said: "The candidate for the Ministry of Industry? ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with the Li Gong Department?" ”

Yang Pu said: "The Ministry of Industry is very old, and it has been a long time. Your Majesty should have prepared for it. ”

The Ministry of Industry is a very important and important department, and many major projects are indispensable to the Ministry of Industry, such as the construction of border walls, which involves the Ministry of Industry, but this project is in charge of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry is just a hand for the Ministry of War.

In addition, it is the project of Ouchi, such as the project of repairing the regimental city in Zhu Qizhen, which was given to Ouchi by the Ministry of Engineering.

Zhu Qizhen usually pays attention to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, a knife handle, a finance, and an official seal, and does not pay much attention to the Ministry of Industry. When there are no major projects, the affairs of the Ministry of Engineering are also very idle.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Does Mr. have a recommendation?" ”

Yang Pu said: "Your Majesty, who the minister recommends, it depends on what His Majesty wants the Ministry of Industry to do?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "How do you say this? ”

Yang Pu said: "The minister remembers that His Majesty originally asked the Ministry of Industry to have two Shangshu, one of which was dedicated to the Water Division? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "This is indeed the case. ”

Yang Pu said: "The minister is just in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. ”
