Chapter 121: Letter from Ganzhou

In fact, this can't be blamed on Li Guopu's cautiousness, he has suffered too much of Zhu Youzhen's loss of not playing cards according to common sense, and the current cabinet ministers have learned to be obedient.

Many of the problems and rules and regulations in the cabinet are not a matter to Zhu Youzhen.

Hudun Rabbit can help, the East Kidnap can also be discussed, it is not impossible to open the sea, and the people's rebellion can also be vented by killing corrupt officials, and the rebellion can be quelled in a month.

As for the court if it has no money, it can still borrow it from the emperor, as long as it makes an IOU.

And since the new emperor ascended the throne, it seems that he has never been short of money, fooling the vassal king, killing the wealthy merchants who were captured in the east, Zhu Youzhen's internal money is rich and flowing, that is, Zhu Yijun, who is as wealthy as Zhu Yijun of the Wanli Dynasty, is also willing to bow down when he sees his grandson.

And Zhu Youzhen has the biggest difference from his grandfather, that is, he never looted the court or the people, but will use his own money to help the court and the people.

It's okay to fight the war with the East Captivity without money, the Son of Heaven has money, it's okay to have no money for disaster relief in the north, and the Son of Heaven has money. Even the silver that quelled the rebellion in Guizhou this time was from the Son of Heaven.

According to Bi Ziyan's calculations, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial court has borrowed more than 5 million taels of silver from the Son of Heaven, which is almost half of the annual income of the imperial court, and it has only been a year and a half.

And according to Bi Ziyan's analysis, the Son of Heaven should have 10 million taels of silver, and the soap that swept the entire Ming Dynasty this year was shipped out of Xishan, which should be the industry of the Son of Heaven.

In addition, there are some other industries such as glazed steel and textile in Xishan, which are said to be ready for production.

For the Generalissimo Mansion of Xishan, the cabinet ministers did not pay attention to it at first, thinking that the Son of Heaven was like Wu Zong, a young man, and he played with himself.

At first, the courtiers also persuaded him, but later found that there were no officials in the Generalissimo Xishan's mansion, and he had never spoken out in the court, and he was low-key as if it did not exist, and Zhu Youzhen did not favor the ministers like Wuzong and did not think about the government.

The Son of Heaven only went to Xishan once on the fifth day, and he never mentioned the matter of Xishan in the court on weekdays, and several officials in Xishan never went to the court.

Gradually, the courtiers forgot about the existence of the Generalissimo's Mansion until the birth of Soap, until the emergence of a new army with 3,000 to repel 60,000 rebels.

Only then did the courtiers know that the Generalissimo Mansion of the Son of Heaven was not just a plaything of the Son of Heaven, but a yamen that was really useful to the country.

If the appearance of soap has not been able to attract the attention of the courtiers, but after the emergence of today's fierce new army, the courtiers must pay attention to the West Mountain, after all, the meaning of a strong army is naturally not comparable to clean things.

After thinking about it again and again, for Zhu Youzhen's re-mention of the toast, no one dared to rashly express his stance when he couldn't figure out the true purpose of the Son of Heaven, after all, in the Qianqing Palace, the slap in the face would be staged every day.

"Your Majesty thinks there's anything wrong with the toast system?"

Since Han Yi killed corrupt officials in Shaanxi, he has become more and more important to Zhu Youzhen, and in the court, Han Yi can be regarded as more daring to speak.

"What do you think?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at the cabinet elders with a smile, and it seemed that he had made up his mind, and he had to let the cabinet elders express their position.

'Shame on you, as long as Your Majesty is pleased. ’

Huang Li thought to himself very secretly, and then took the lead out of the class.

"The system of Tusi has been used for more than 200 years, although the people have rebelled from time to time, but they have not become a climate, the minister thinks, the system of Tusi has his merits, and after more than 200 years of education, most of the Fanbu is still the heart of the court."

Huang Liji may be almost good at governing the country, but he is really powerful in terms of meeting the will and dealing with the world and the mud, although the cabinet is not aligned, but it can unite in major matters, and Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, is competent.

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he nodded slightly, showing respect to Huang Liji.

Seeing this, Huang Liji knew that he was still Jian Zai's heart, and then stepped back proudly.

"What Yuan Fu said is good, although the system of Tusi is not the first of our dynasty, but Taizu gave the golden book, the system of hereditary replacement, did attract the hearts of the people, like the Shizhu Tusi in Sichuan, the Liaohua Tusi in Huguang, Jiangxi, not only obeyed the imperial court, but also often helped the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and the system of the Tusi is really a good policy for governance."

As soon as Huang Liji retreated, Shi Fenglai came up and continued to shout for the Tusi system.

Zhu Youzhen still nodded, noncommittal.

Subsequently, several cabinet ministers stepped forward in turn to praise and disparage the Tusi system, but the overall tone was still that the Tusi system still had to exist.

Zhu Youzhen did not refute the elders, nor did he express his opinion on the elders, but picked up a copy of the imperial case and asked Wang Chengen to read it to the elders.

"Zheng Ruxin, the governor of Ganzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi, respectfully invites the Holy Son of Heaven, the Holy Son of Heaven to inherit the herdsmen, the Pingdong captivity, the Fubei captives, and the disaster relief victims.

"Ahem, to the point."

Zhu Youzhen himself couldn't listen to it anymore, although he had already said that he didn't need to write these rainbow nonsense, but when the officials from all over the country played, they were afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied with any sentence, and these festive words were not afraid to go.

When Wang Chengen heard this, he saluted Zhu Youzhen back, and then recited.

"The minister heard that the Tusi of Shuixi in Guizhou recently rebelled, and there was a word to show that His Majesty learned that although the Tusi was made by Taizu, it has been peaceful for more than 200 years, and there are many drawbacks."

When the cabinet ministers heard this, they all cheered up and stood solemnly one by one, ready to listen to what this petty official from the fifth rank had about the Tusi system, which actually attracted the attention of the Son of Heaven.

"Weichen is located in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, under the jurisdiction of many people, ministers and the Ministry of Tusi also have contacts from time to time, Tusi, is the head of the Fanbu, hereditary replacement, such as Fanzhen, its internal self-contained, official appointment and dismissal, penal system, tax and servitude are not subject to the control of the imperial court, just like a small court."

The cabinet ministers naturally knew about these drawbacks of the Tusi, but the imperial court set up the Tusi to be managed as a place of restraint, and these drawbacks naturally existed.

"The minister has been an official in Ganzhou for more than ten years, although he is the head of a government, but he still has to rely on the Tusi of the people within his jurisdiction, and he can only negotiate with the Tusi for the conflict between the Fan and Han, and the people are not afraid of virtue, and they are not afraid of farming, and they often rob the Han people of their property, but once they flee back to the land of the Tusi, the government is also beyond the reach of the whip."

"Ministers have been in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, always considering the success or failure of the Tusi, and now I hear that the Tusi of Shuixi has rebelled, and I have occasional gains, dedicated to Your Majesty."

All the courtiers held their breath for fear of missing a word.

"The minister thinks that the disadvantages of the Tusi lie in its head, and the hereditary replacement, so that it is deeply rooted, so that the Tusi often says, ten years of officials, a hundred years of the court, a thousand years of the Tusi, and the people only know that the Tusi does not know the court, if the hereditary Tusi is changed to a liuguan such as a minister, presumably the disadvantages of the Tusi can be removed."
