Bi Ziyan had the same concern, and raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the cabinet, the ministers still need to discuss in detail, and the other ministers will discuss it another day." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and flatly refused, "No need, you have discussed it before, take out the controversial ones and discuss them, and the others will follow the proposal, let's start!" ”

Bi Ziyan's expression moved, and he sighed in his heart, the emperor was still angry after all, if it was in the past, he would never be so arbitrary and did not give the courtiers a chance to speak.

"Yes." He had to raise his hand in response.

Next, it's about the reform of the six ministries.

Bi Ziyan glanced at the ministers, and could clearly feel that the ministers' bodies were getting straighter and straighter.

If it is said that the cabinet is in charge of the world's government affairs as county officials, then the six ministries are in charge, and everyone must pay attention to it!

Bi Ziyan lightly cleared his throat and looked at the song, "The household department, in charge of the country's acres, household registration, salaries, Qian Fatang, Baoquan Bureau, etc., governs the world's taxes, money and grain, and after the household department is still in charge, the household department's powers and responsibilities are complicated, overwhelmed, and I request to streamline." ”

Bi Ziyan paused here and glanced at Fu Changzong.

Everyone else also looked at the past as if they were nothing, Fu Changzong was also a sensitive person, a real relative, the emperor's own uncle, and the uncle who usurped his nephew in history.

The reduction of the power of the household department also gave the courtiers room for their thoughts, for example, whether the emperor intended to suppress Fu Changzong and slowly make him fade out of the court and restore the ancestral system of 'foreign relatives do not interfere in politics'?

Fu Changzong lowered his head slightly, as if he hadn't seen these gazes, and was silent and calm.

Zhu Xu's expression did not move, taking in every move of the ministers, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and his heart was not calm.

This court meeting is also testing his ability to control the ministers.

"The household department is no longer responsible for paying taxes," Bi Ziyan's voice was clear, echoing in the hall, and said: "Set up the State Administration of Taxation to manage the world's taxes." The Ministry of Household was no longer responsible for minting coins, and the functions were transferred to the Royal Bank......"

Although the ministers had known all this for a long time, they were still shocked when they listened to it at this time. The two most important functions and powers of the household department have been divided, and the weight of the household department will be greatly reduced.

It has been drawn up a long time ago, and the household department has no opinion, and others naturally have no way to refute it.

Bi Ziyan had the intention to end today's court discussion as soon as possible, and after asking a question, he said: "The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials has the power to appoint, transfer, and dismiss officials, and the right to evaluate is transferred to the Supervisory Yuan, and all the transfer of officials, appointment and dismissal require the evaluation of the Supervisory Yuan, and the consent ......."

The courtiers listened, and looked at King Jing in front of them quietly, the power of the Governorate is now amazing, although there is no right to appoint and dismiss officials, but this 'assessment' is more terrible than the six-year Jingcha!

Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, also had no objections, and the ministers listened silently, they were all waiting.

"Criminal Department," Bi Ziyan looked up, Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had been imprisoned last night, and immediately said: "The Criminal Department is no longer responsible for adjudicating cases, full-time criminal cases, and criminal prison departments are set up in various places......"

The authority of the Criminal Department is quite small among the six departments, and it can be regarded as half transparent.

Bi Ziyan did not give the ministers a chance to speak, and as soon as the criminal department ended, he said, "The Ministry of Industry is no longer responsible for the repair of the palace and the construction of ships, and it has set up a special department, which is subordinate to the cabinet ......."

"Rite ......"

"Military Department ......"

"The Governor's Yuan, which has the responsibility of supervising the affairs of the world, has the right to investigate the legality and compliance of all government affairs below the cabinet level, and has the right to investigate the ...... of all officials below the third grade."

"Dali Temple is the highest trial yamen in the country, and the three divisions of the yamen are renamed Dali Temple, which is divided into three levels of provincial capital and county ......"

"Taifu Temple ......"

"Hongroji Temple ......"

The ministers all listened quietly, the yamen in the capital is very different from the past, and they have to make changes accordingly.

'Really...... It's different. This is the common voice of the ministers, and at the same time there is a faint expectation, which is a sign of the Ming Center!

Bi Ziyan's mouth was dry, but he had to continue, and looked at everyone, "Ten granaries, the imperial court has ten granaries, and there are enough grain reserves to deal with disasters that may arise at any time, and the war is expected to be 10 million stone ......"

The ministers secretly looked up at Zhu Xu, and exclaimed in their hearts: The emperor's vision is always longer than them, and this top ten granaries will be an incomparably huge source of confidence for the Ming Dynasty!

"Royal Qianzhuang," Bi Ziyan pursed his dry lips and said, "I am responsible for assessing the amount of silver coins in the Ming Dynasty, minting coins, and issuing silver tickets...... The imperial court will strictly prohibit the private people from minting coins, issuing silver bills, and lending money ......"

These were originally the responsibilities of the household department, and when they were taken out separately, the courtiers were a little worried, afraid that this money bank would become the imperial court, the emperor's money bag, and would not be constrained.

"...... of the State Administration of Taxation"

Before Bi Ziyan's words fell, the ministers standing couldn't help but raise their heads, looked at Bi Ziyan, and then looked at the emperor who was high above.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the most touching things are nothing more than two things: money and food. It is precisely this State Administration of Taxation that is in charge, and it seems to be a 'bureau', and its status is directly chasing the 'ministry'.

"The State Administration of Taxation is divided into national tax, local tax, and national tax, and is responsible for grain tax, commercial tax, salt tax, tea tax, and customs duty...... The local tax is responsible for forced labor, carriage and horse tax, silk tax, ......" Bi Ziyan gushed endlessly.

The ministers below were already frowning, even if they had discussed it more than once, it was still very uncomfortable to hear.

The imperial court has taken away the big head, what should I do locally? It's not that they, the governors, care, but all the local officials, and even the common people, will oppose it.

But the court had obviously made up its mind, and they couldn't oppose it.

Bi Ziyan spoke at length, the taxes involved are very complicated, just listening to it is very around, headache, if you haven't read the documents before, I'm afraid that at this moment it is like listening to the book of heaven.

"Grain tax ......," Bi Ziyan said here, paused, and looked up at the ministers below.

The ministers unconsciously straightened their waists, stared directly at Bi Ziyan, and waited anxiously for his next words.

Bi Ziyan also knew in his heart that this was the most sensitive issue, he frowned, suppressed the bad premonition in his heart, and said, "Restore the Taizu tax and grain system, harvest per mu, and no exception if it is not reduced or reduced by the imperial court......"

"The minister is against!"

The first person to jump out made the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stunned, it was not the governor of various places, but the left servant of the criminal department, Shen Xun!

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, and his expression was surprised and there was a hint of interest.

Shen Xun was born in the Shen family in the south of the Yangtze River, several generations of nobles, and has an excellent reputation. In the mountains. The governor of the east and the squire of the criminal department have done a good job in office, and they are quite practical.

Bi Ziyan had already expected it, put down the notebook, and said with a calm gaze: "What does Lord Shen have to say?" ”

Shen Xun is five official and upright, resolute, in his early forties, he is in the prime of life, he raised his hand to Bi Ziyan, and then to Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister does not oppose the restoration of the Taizu grain system, but now I have a disaster in the Ming Dynasty, and millions of victims are affected, relying on the squire to live, the minister thinks that the squire should not be taxed at this time, and the current will encourage him to make more efforts to alleviate the worries of the court......"

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, and they both stared secretly, they had heard Shen Xun's statement before.

Shen Xun's words are upright and reasonable, it is really difficult to refute, if it is an ordinary time, this way of dealing with it is also excellent.

However, the Ming Dynasty is not an ordinary period now, and no one except Zhu Xu really realizes how terrible this unsudden disaster is!

This is how the Ming Dynasty in history was handled, and every policy was the same as in the past, following the rules, without realizing how deeply the disaster that had lasted for many years had hurt the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Xu has accumulated strength for Daming after years of reform, it is unknown whether he can survive this 'Xiaoice River safely in the end, and how much Daming vitality he has spent is still a few points.

Therefore, in extraordinary times, we must practice extraordinary methods!

"The minister agrees with Lord Shen's words,"

Zhang Wenda came out of the ranks, and said with a deep color: "Your Majesty, the law of Taizu has been abolished for nearly two hundred years, and it is no longer appropriate. The current taxation of the gentry is not in line with the situation and reason, and the ministers ask for the time being. ”

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Wenda, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly. Especially the conspicuous wrench on his fingers, the Ming Dynasty did not prosper this thing, and only he liked it.

Zhang Wenda has always been tactful, and being slick does not mean that he does not do things, on the contrary, he is very good at doing things, and he is not even worse than Bi Ziyan when it comes to handling government affairs. But Zhu Xu doesn't like it, this person can't always grasp it, and can't judge whether it is beneficial or unfavorable to his political reform.

His words made sense, and few of the ministers could refute them.

But in Zhu Xu's opinion, his approach is not to save Da Ming, not even to alleviate or stop it, but to continue to accelerate Da Ming into the abyss!

Zhu Xu's fingers tapped on the tabletop, looking immovable.

"The minister also agrees with Lord Shen's proposal."

"The minister agrees."

Someone and two people came out and agreed with Shen Xun, but in fact, they could see with their eyes that this was Zhang Wenda's supporter.

Zhu Xu's face remained unchanged, his eyes searched among the courtiers, and finally stopped at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting came out of the queue knowingly, raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, last year, the six southwestern provinces used more than 5 million silver salaries for disaster relief, and more than 8 million stones of grain, and last year's imperial court tax grain was only 20 million stones, 2 million silver, if it is not opened, the imperial court will not be able to make ends meet within two years, and the 100 officials' salaries will not be able to ......."

As soon as Sun Chuanting's voice fell, a buzz suddenly sounded in the hall, and the courtiers all talked in a low voice, their faces condensed.

In recent years, the imperial court has been quite generous, many people have forgotten this, and seriously investigated it, the income of the imperial court is indeed very small, and the emperor's internal funds were empty a few years ago!

Shen Xun has already stepped down and said no more, his words are out of public intentions, and he doesn't want the emperor and the courtiers to think that he is 'attached to the party'.

The two supporters of Zhang Wenda saw that it was the prime minister of Liaodong, and Zhang Wenda's boss, their expressions changed slightly, and they retreated one after another.

Zhang Wenda listened to Sun Chuanting's words, his expression hesitated, Sun Chuanting's words were not unreasonable, but he was not quite able to accept the taxation of the gentry.

Zhu Xu didn't give him a chance, and said conclusively, "Since the ministers have no opinion, this one will be passed." The cabinet will issue detailed regulations, and no one shall delay, blame, or slack off! This matter is a matter of social welfare, and those who dare to have half-heartedness will not be forgiven! ”

Zhu Xu's words were nothing less than thunder, and the screams of Ruan Dacheng and the others echoed in the hall again, which made people shudder.

The corners of Zhang Wenda's mouth moved, and then he retreated silently.

This court is no longer the court he is familiar with, and he can't change anything alone.
