Chapter 134: Zhu Qizhen's First Fire

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. Yu thinks there is an obstacle to doing things? ”

Yu Qian said: "With His Majesty's love, among the Jingshi, no one dares to touch His Majesty's Long Wei." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The Empress Dowager is ready to let me handle political affairs independently. ”

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Empress Dowager is wise. ”

Zhu Qizhen saw Yu Qian's appearance a little strange, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Qian hesitated slightly, and immediately felt that he had said it, and said: "Among the officials, someone has already decided to play, saying that the rain is not sunny for a long time, but the yin is above and the yang is below. ”

"Presumptuous. Shameless. Zhu Qizhen said angrily.

The so-called yin is above, yang is below. Isn't it talking about the Empress Dowager's governance?

It seems that these people are all loyal ministers of Zhu Qizhen, and they are thinking about Zhu Qizhen. But Zhu Qizhen has already experienced it in the past few years, how can he not see their tricks.

First of all, the Empress Dowager's intention to return to power is actually noticed by the court bigwigs. It's no secret that so many people know.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen had already asked the old man in Beijing that the heavy rain could not last, and it would be within a few days.

As soon as they played and the sky cleared, wouldn't it be their credit?

Take the merits of heaven and earth as your own, and forget it. also pressed a thorn in the heart of the Queen Mother.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty is angry. ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said: "This is the Heavenly Family, Mr. Yu needless to say, Wang Daban." ”

Wang Zhen immediately said: "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Go and see Yang Shoufu and say that I know about this matter, let him watch it." ”

Wang Zhen immediately said: "The slave and maid will go." ”

Seeing this, Yu Qian sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that those imperial history plans would not have good fruits to eat. It's just that Yu Qian is naturally clear in major matters.

The harmony between the two houses is the blessing of the community.

The Empress Dowager is always not Wu Zetian. Filial piety is the foundation of governing the country. At this critical time, it is better not to make extraneous branches.

Zhu Qizhen still pulled the topic back and said: "Mr. Yu, the so-called new officials have three fires, and I always have to do something. ”

Yu Qian listened and chuckled in his heart.

For most officials, they are not willing to toss around. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they are unwilling to change the law, even Shang Ying also said that the benefits are not ten times, and the law will not change.

Yu Qian actually felt embarrassed by Zhu Qizhen's many wonderful ideas.

Zhu Qizhen's tone today reminded Yu Qian of the opening of the sea at the beginning.

It's not good to say that the sea is open. It is impossible for Yu Qian to admit reality.

You must know that now Xin'an County has collected taxes, and it can almost go to Guangzhou. This is still when Li Shimian opened the sea in Xin'an, he was cautious in everything and the investigation was extremely strict. Restrict a lot of people from impersonating.

If it is liberalized, this tax may have to rise.

This is evidenced by the fact that the clamor for the opening of the sea in the south has been raised wave after wave.

But having a boss who loves to toss still makes the people below feel uncomfortable.

Yu Qian said: "Where is Your Majesty going to start?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world." If I want to rule the world, I start with Beijing. In the city of Beijing, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, just like in the matter of public security, all parties can interfere, resulting in all parties not carering. ”

"Therefore, I want to put all the power of law and order in Beijing under the Shuntian Mansion. From today onwards, the Sixth Division, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will not be able to bypass Shuntianfu and interfere in the security of the Jingshi. ”

"What do you think, sir?"

Yu Qian immediately understood, and secretly said in his heart: "Your Majesty simply put me on top of the stove." In this way, Yu Qian didn't know how many people's financial routes would be cut off.

It's just that Yu Qian doesn't care.

He had long wanted to do something in the city of Beijing. It's just that under the constraints of many parties, it can't be done.

Yu Qian said: "What is Your Majesty going to let the ministers do?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I have heard a saying that officials do not have feudalism, but officials have feudalism. Although Taizu has good laws and does not allow officials to go to the countryside at will, but the small officials at all levels take the place of the officials' authority and do good, deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, which is very evil, and it is better than corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Mr. Yu thinks yes or no? ”

Yu Qian has been in the local area for a long time, and he knows much more about the local situation than Zhu Qizhen. said: "But there is such a thing, and there are no officials who are simply puppets among the local old officials." ”

"In the end, even if you go to prison, you don't know what happened, it's all these traitors who colluded up and down, and acted as traitors."

Zhu Qizhen said: "And although the imperial court cherishes the people, it may not be a simple official, there are only a few economic officials in a county, but there are hundreds, or even thousands, of white servants. ”

"These don't eat the court, only the remnants of the people."

"The people are more bitter than the officials."

Yu Qian secretly said in his heart: "But I don't know that it is the one who is the think tank of His Majesty, and these words are definitely not something that His Majesty can say in the palace for a long time." ”

It's not wrong.

It's too right.

Many things, the magistrate understood. But the way to be an official has always been to deceive the superiors and not hide them. It is even said that Yang Shiqi may not understand so clearly.

Because Yang Shiqi has been in the center for a long time, he is inevitably separated from the local situation.

Only Yu Qian, who has been in a place for a long time, can be called a cadre, and he knows it better than Zhu Qizhen. But this is an open secret, and no one may have specifically told Zhu Qizhen.

But I don't know that there is too much discussion about this in later generations.

Zhu Qizhen just listened to it and ordered Jinyi Weidong Factory to investigate.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not very easy to use abroad, but in the territory of Daming, there are few things that can be hidden from them.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen collected a lot of information to have today's words. is also ready to take this thing as his first fire.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I don't want this kind of thing to continue. ”

Although Yu Qian was prepared, he was still a little surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and it will affect the whole body. However, it must not be lightly moved, if the hereditary government service will be abolished, then where will the officials needed in various places come from, and if the white service will be classified as the officials of the state economic system. ”

"So where will the money come from?"

Zhu Qizhen naturally understands that the Ming Dynasty is only one or two thousand officials, but if you want to raise officials, it is a huge number, and Zhu Qizhen thinks that it will be at least more than 100,000.

Even if their salary is not high, multiplied by 100,000 is a huge number.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I naturally know the severity, so this matter is not in me, but in Qing." ”

Yu Qian was a little confused for a while, and said, "Minister." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I will put the responsibility of governing the Jingshi in Shuntian Mansion. Naturally, there are more things in Shuntianfu, and it is inevitable to increase the number of people, so Mr. Yu took advantage of this time to find a way to break the feudal status quo of the officials. and the establishment of a set of formal government institutions. ”

"I know that the general county government has six rooms to undertake all the affairs of the imperial court. But the people who came into contact with the court were still small officials. When I want Mr. to govern Jingshi, I will also create a model. ”

"In the past, the people could withstand the extortion of the officials, which shows that the local government can actually afford to support the officials. It's just that what should be done in the end can not only facilitate the people, but also not let the small people be exploited. ”

"But it's up to Mr. Yu to find a way."

"As long as Mr. Yu does a good job, I will definitely promote this matter to the world in the future."

Yu Qian listened, and there was no excitement in his heart. The so-called meritorious service, if the whole world will be done in accordance with the charter made by Yu Qian in the future, it will also be a great incentive for Qian.

Many literati and doctors may not love money, but there are few who do not love fame.

Yu Qian is no exception.

Yu Qian took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, this matter, the minister did his best, but this matter cannot be done in a few years. It can't be done overnight. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I understand. I am rich in spring and autumn, and I am very patient. However, this one thing is not enough for outsiders, so it can only be done in secret. ”

"I understand." Yu Qian said.

Zhu Qizhen said: "So the more things you have on the surface." It is to work for relief, and I don't want to have any more waterlogging in Beijing, so digging sewers and improving the Beijing city tower are the three major halls in the palace, and the embankment of the Lugou River is what you have to do. ”

Yu Qian listened, and said secretly in his heart: "This is exactly the use of people to death." But he could only say, "The minister obeys." ”
