Chapter 198

.“ I'm talking about the Ministry of Industry's deficit of four million taels, not saying that it can't repair the palace in the palace! Gao Qihua knew that he couldn't help but fight back, "Lord Chen, if you want to kill someone, just do it directly, you don't need to add such a crime!" ”

Chen Yubi smiled coldly. The tiger is not powerful, you are a sick cat as an old man? Usually the old man is unwilling to deal with you juniors, and he can only let others see his jokes when he scolds people! Do you really think you can ride on our heads to and pee? Don't talk about the old man, Zhao Zhigao and Lord Zhao are not fuel-efficient lamps! Didn't he endure the humiliation for the sake of Daming? If it weren't for the fact that the court could have one more official to do things, those officials in the past would have not known how much they had been demoted!

"Tall, sir!" This time, it was Zhang Wei who interrupted Gao Qihua's words, "This is a public discussion, no one has added guilt to you, and the emperor has not added guilt to you!" The Ministry of Household raised a question, and the Ministry of Industry could give a clear statement, what is the crime? Lord Chen, the bill settled as usual does not match the actual list, the household department can raise it, you don't need to be angry! ”

There was no way to refute this, Chen Yubi raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Zhigao. There was a sneer on the corner of Zhao Zhigao's mouth. He looked at the Wei Dynasty.

Wei Chao knew that he wouldn't say no: "Master Zhang is right, Chen Ge Lao, you will spend this money"

Chen Yubi leaned back in his chair, looked at Gao Qihua with deep eyes and said, "What is there to say about this matter?" At the beginning of the year, the expenditure was to go to Yungui Mountain to get wood, but as a result, there was no road in the high mountains and dense forests, and I originally wanted to open a road, but I didn't expect that there was a mess in Banzhou, and Yang Yinglong reversed. The material could not be transported, so it was changed to transport wood from the South Sea. The one-year construction period suddenly increased so much difficulty that the Ministry of Industry rushed to do it day and night, and even the big ships overturned several times! Later, Zhu Yidao and Zhu Qianhu of Jinyiwei pacified Banzhou and opened up the road, and the wood taken from Yungui Mountain was much closer and more convenient than that transported from Nanyang! It is still in a hurry to repair several palaces in Beijing before the end of the year. For the sake of the emperor, we can endure any hardship, why do you have to hold on to all this extra money? Who in my Ming Dynasty doesn't know that Zhu Qianhu is a ghost who makes silver? If we have the ability to make a penny of money, why worry about selling a few sets of Nanmu furniture? ”

dared to publicly praise Zhu Yidao at the state finance meeting of the cabinet secretary, Chen Yubi was the first. In fact, he was also forced to the end, and he already knew that the juniors below were ready to move, scolding Zhao Zhigao for being a soft egg, and he and Zhang Wei were decorations. They also don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the stability that overrides everything, how could he suffer from this bird anger? That Zhu Yidao pinched Li Hualong What kind of auction was he doing in Banzhou, selling Nanmu furniture at a high price, the cabinet had long known. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I feel aggrieved when I think about it! He could think of such a solution to the financial crisis in every 1,000 households, but a group of cabinet members were guarding the treasury and crying poor. No wonder the emperor should not know about this matter, no matter what reason the cabinet says about this matter, it can only highlight his own incompetence!

"If that's the case, it seems that the household department should sign off on these expenses." The Wei Dynasty set the tone again.

All eyes looked at Zhang Wei and Gao Qihua again. Zhang Wei was silent, and Gao Qihua was also silent.

"Zhang Ge Lao and Master Gao are not good to say, I will come" It was the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites who stood at the end of the silence, Shen Yiyi, Chen Yubi was a little surprised, isn't this the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites who has just been transferred from Nanjing? He is his own person, how can he speak for Gao Qihua?

"Yes." Although Wei Chao was also a little surprised, he still nodded.

"I'm just talking about the ministry." Shen's voice has always been clear and concise, "Last year's expenditure was spent on the bereavement of the officials who died in the earthquake and the officials who owed it. In the Jingshi earthquake in Layue last year, hundreds of officials were killed and injured, and several yamen died. These people sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty, and it is really unreasonable to ignore them. The bereavement of the families of the deceased officials alone cost 5 million taels of silver, and the long-owed officials were repaid. There are dozens of new officials who have taken office this year, and they should be indispensable, but there is a serious shortage of staff in the county schools and state schools below, and they have to fill their teaching positions. That's it, starting from the lunar month of this year, the officials' salaries, and the rewards in Nanjing began to be owed again, if they still spend money like last year, and spend all the money in the household inventory in a year, this year the imperial court will have to increase taxes on the people. I had heard before I came that some provinces had already collected taxes until the twentieth year of Wanli! If this continues, how can the household be the family? I thought this was not something that Master Zhang and Master Gao could afford. ”

"Then who do you mean to bear?" Chen Yubi stared at him deadly, never expecting that this white-eyed wolf, who was obviously a person under his own subordinates, spoke to the household department!

"I didn't say who should bear it," Shen said loudly, "everything is foreseen, and if it is not, it will be wasted." If you still don't spend according to the budget like last year, and eat the grain, then after the grain is eaten, I really don't know what else I can eat in the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Qianhu of the Beijing Division, I also feel disdainful of his personality. But this person knows the science of economics very well, and the ideas he thought of for Li Hualong in Banzhou were adapted to the conditions on the ground, and Banzhou is now recovering very quickly! Looking at his practices, it is very measured! ”

Chen Yubi only agreed with his later words: "Then you mean that last year's construction of the river embankment for Henan and the palace for the emperor has exhausted the mountains and rivers that I have built in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Shen Yiyi: "I didn't say that. ”

Chen Yubi pressed step by step: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Then according to Lord Chen's meaning, will this year be like last year?" Gao Qihua took over the conversation.

"Grandpa Wei! The traitor has appeared! Gao Qihua is one, and Shen has always been one too! Chen Yubi yelled at Wei Chao.

"Don't dare to be a traitor! If you talk about Shechen, then Lord Chen, what you are talking about should be Zhu Qianhu of the Jingshi Guard, right? Gao Qihua skillfully shifted the subject.

"Don't talk about anything else!" Chen Yubi didn't have time to think about how Zhu Yidao offended the cabinet at this time, he slapped the table fiercely: "In my opinion, you and some people are the backstage of Ma Yi's slander of the imperial court on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month before last!" ”

Chen Yubi's tone became more and more stern: "Ma Yi, an official who supervises celestial phenomena in the heavens, when slandering the imperial court, why did he explain the use of the imperial court so clearly the year before last? At that time, I wondered, but now I finally understand that some people here told him the details, who instigated it? How, dare to do it? ”

Ma Yi's death was actually deliberately designed by Li Lianxiong of the celebrant supervisor in order to frame Wang An, and he borrowed the court staff in the hand of Wang Shi, Wang An's godson, who had left arm and right arm, to kill him. No one thought that the events of the past two years would be taken out by Chen Yubi now, and he would use this to put people to death! Gao Qihua suddenly regretted it, they still underestimated Chen Yubi! This old fox, the previous weakness and honesty were all pretended! At that time, Gao Qihua was still in the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang Wei was just a cabinet member of the cabinet who was of little use, and the first assistant was still Shen Shixing.

Gao Qihua did not answer, and Zhang Wei also did not answer.

Everyone's eyes peeked behind the veil.

At this moment, the wolves who were in charge of guarding the gate walked into the main hall in a hurry, kneeled into the inside of the veil and whispered something, so that everyone heard Wanli's happy laughter. No matter what it is, it must be a good thing, otherwise the emperor would not be so happy.

"I practiced like a crane, and the thousand pillars were pinefiable with two letters. I came to ask Wu Yu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle! Wanli walked to the throne in the middle, but did not sit down, but held the handle of the throne with his hand, and looked indifferently at the ministers below.

Zhao Zhigao and others knelt down respectfully and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”

Wanli looked at Zhao Zhigao: "Elder Zhao Ge, Chen Yubi said that Ma Yi, who slandered the imperial court, has a backstage, and the backstage is in your cabinet, you say, who is his backstage?" ”

Zhao Zhigao fixed his mind, the emperor knew that the cabinet at that time was not them at all, but he still had to ask like this, what did he mean? So he replied: "Back to the emperor, there is no backstage for Ma Yi here." ”

Wanli's face couldn't see an expression: "Then why can he say the use of the imperial court so clearly?" ”

Zhao Zhigao leaned over and lowered his head: "The court has no selfish accounts." For example, last year's repair of Xinzheng and Xinyang's rivers were all silver allocated by Mingfa. ”

Wanli asked, "How can he know the cost of several palaces in the palace?" ”

Zhao Zhigao suddenly felt that what he said was very right: "That's because the Ministry of Industry is all open accounts." ”

Wanli's face finally showed a smile, and the people kneeling below were also relieved to hear Zhao Zhigao say this. Only Zhao Zhigao, who is used to being the first assistant, said such a thing. Wanli continued: "Quarrel, let's quarrel!" There are some things that you can't understand and can't say clearly if you don't make noise! When you quarrel, don't you understand everything? I just read the "Asking Poems" by Li Ao in the Tang Dynasty, and my favorite is the last sentence: The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle. Some of you people are water, some are clouds, and you do different things, there are no traitors here, only loyal ministers! ”

Ever since he went to court by flying to the sky, he could clearly feel the fear of the ministers and officials. In the past, he scolded desperately to gain fame. But now, everyone knows that the emperor has the power to reach the sky, and he no longer dares to scold easily. And more and more of him is being taken into account, which was simply unthinkable in the past. Zhao Zhigao's performance was also beyond his expectations, but Wanli himself knew that including Chen Yubi, these were all old foxes, and if he wasn't forced to the end, he wouldn't show his skills at all. That's good, that's like a cabinet member, a scholar!
