103 Complicated Government Affairs (I)
As soon as King Xin heard the apocalypse ask him about selling his title, he said: "Because the ministers and brothers have to take time to listen to the master's lectures every day, the affairs of the government council are divided among the assistant ministers, but probably the ministers and brothers also know some about the affairs." There are a few things that are indeed not going so well now, and everyone is actively trying to find a way, including the sale of the title. ”
Apocalypse asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”
King Xin said: "The matter of selling the title is in charge of Lord Han Yihan, and the problem encountered is that many people are unwilling to pay money to buy it, it may be that the people have no money in their hands, or it may be that the people do not know the benefits of buying the title, and they will only wait for a long time." ”
Han Yi saw that King Xin said that he also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this title needs to be identified with a bronze medal, to be honest, if you can't sell much, the cost of this bronze medal can't be recovered, and the officials are embarrassed to shout and sell like a hawker, and the ministers are also in a hurry, so please ask the emperor to wait for a good discussion before talking." ”
After listening to Han Yi's words, Tianqi can be sure that this Han Yi is a fool, if he wants to sell for money, he is afraid of losing face and not publicizing it, and he can think of customers at home if he thinks about it? This business is a matter of not being able to ask for face, and if you want money, you can't ask for face, many people can pretend to be pitiful for two money, and there are many people who take off their clothes and go into battle to attract attention, and it is not okay to want money and be afraid of losing face.
Tianqi thought for a while and said: "Lord Han, I will teach you a method for you to try, you explain it clearly to those county orders, first divide the people under your rule into two categories, one is those who have money to afford the title, and the other is those who have no money and cannot afford to buy the title, and the poor will not talk about how to cheat money from the rich first, well, it is to make money." ”
Seeing Han Yi looking at himself, the apocalypse continued: "Rich people don't buy because they are poor and can ignore these people for the time being, and rich people don't buy because they don't know the benefits of the title, how can they know the benefits of buying the title?" The specific method is to let the county order go to the rich people to go around, or call the rich people to the county government at any time to discuss matters, and when the time comes, if you buy the title card, you will kneel down and talk to him. ”
Han Yi blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't this disturbing the people?" ”
Apocalypse rolled his eyes and said, "How can this be said to be a disturbance to the people? This is to awaken their sense of equality and let them know that money can be exchanged for dignity. Think about it, if one day the people in the world are rich, everyone has bought a knighthood, everyone doesn't have to kneel down and talk and get along equally, will my Ming Dynasty achieve the equality of all beings? Selling titles can make the country rich, officials rich, and realize the equality of all beings, and if you really do this, you Han Daren is a living Bodhisattva. ”
Han Yi bowed his head and said, "The minister is stupid, Rong Chen will think about it." ”
Apocalypse said unhappily, "What else do you think?" Tomorrow, I will ask all the county magistrates to try it, and tell them that while selling titles to rich people, they should find a way to make money for the poor people, so that your customers will increase more and more. Now in April, at the end of the year, I will evaluate them, and there are many poor people under the rule who do not want to make the people rich, and there are many rich people under the rule but do not want to awaken the people's sense of equality. ”
Han Yi retreated silently when he heard this, and everyone was thinking that the only one who could tell a deceptive thing so high-sounding was probably the emperor. At this time, Ting Tianqi asked, "Who is specifically responsible for this immigration matter?" ”
Zhu Yanxi, the assistant minister, came out and said: "Back to the emperor, it is Weichen who is in charge. ”
Tianqi asked: "Master Zhu, I read the report of the Government Council a while ago that immigrants have also encountered problems, right?" ”
Zhu Yanxi said: "The weather was cold in the first two months, and the weather became warmer in March, but many people said that their families were short of food and wanted to collect summer grain before leaving. ”
Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The old way divides the identified immigrants into two categories, one is the real food-deficient households and the other is the fake food-deficient households. Tell them that the south has already divided the fields for them and sown seeds, and if they harvest the summer grain in their hometown and then leave, then the summer grain of the new family in the south will be collected by others, and the crops in the south will be harvested and ripe early, so what should they do? In this way, those who are short of food will be in a hurry, and they will naturally leave one after another when they are in a hurry. ”
Zhu Yanxi asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that when the immigrants go to the south, the local government will allocate enough food from the official warehouse for them to eat for half a year?" Why is it that now the emperor said that he let the immigrants go to the fields and harvest them himself? Do you want to make them hungry for half a year if they go late? ”
Apocalypse said: "When they catch up with the harvest season, let them harvest it in the field by themselves, and if they can't catch it, let them put it in the warehouse and allocate it to them when the time comes. ”
Zhu Yanxi said hesitantly: "Isn't that cheating? Will they make trouble when they know the truth? ”
I've never seen a fool like you! Tianqi was annoyed, thought about it for a while, and said patiently: "The people are the people of officials, your son is afraid of bitterness and doesn't drink medicine, can you lie to him and say that he drank medicine and gave candy to eat?" When he drinks it, if he doesn't give him candy to eat, will he hate you for the rest of his life? Besides, when the time comes, he can't be cold, he can't be hungry, what is he making trouble? Is it still noisy to go back to his hometown? ”
Zhu Yanxi said: "Then try it." ”
Apocalypse said: "It's not to try, but you have to hurry up and wait for no one, if you think about the drought and insect plague in the north again, the summer grain can't be harvested, you starve at home and don't have to eat on the road, and a group of people starve to death, then you officials in charge of immigration are sinners, and I won't be spared at that time." ”
Zhu Yanxi shuddered and said, "The minister obeys the order and will do it immediately." ”
Seeing the apocalypse looking at him, the assistant minister Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of the affairs of the pre-administration department, and a while ago it was said that it was not good to make a pre-plan because the data of the grain depots and fan warehouses of the provinces had not yet been reported, and now the provinces have reported one after another, and the ministers are convening people to approve it, and then make plans and send it to the provinces after approval." ”
Tianqi nodded and said: "Lord Ye is worthy of praise for his seriousness, but I want to say that I don't want to make a plan based on the data obtained at one time, because the data is only half of the basis for making a plan, and the other half is the local newspaper." Make a rough idea first and then modify it according to the specific situation, and then make a little more detailed next year, and then do a little more detailed the year after, so that it is a long-term plan to refine it year by year. ”
Ye Xianggao said: "The emperor's words are very true, and the ministers also think so, the purpose of this pre-government office is not to do a good result at one time, but to gradually improve the system that is planned in advance and continuously implemented, so that it can finally be controlled and adjusted, and the emperor's move to set up the pre-government office is really wise!" ”
Tianqi smiled: "You don't want to praise me, I don't praise you, if we continue to praise each other, others will be numb, now let's talk about the money and road merchants in Beijing and the provinces, if you don't want to hear it, just talk about how long it will take for me to see the silver." ”
Ye Xianggao said: "It should be soon, it is Liu Yixiao and Lord Liu who are in charge, let Lord Liu talk about it specifically." ”
Liu Yixiao came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, this silver coin has been minted several batches, and now the mint is still rushing to mint coins, and the government-run money houses in various provinces will be repaired and replaced, and the fast will be next month, and the slow will be May and June will be fully rolled out, as long as you start to exchange silver coins for broken silver, you can use the difference to earn fire consumption, and then the emperor will be able to see a lot of silver." ”
Tianqi snorted coldly: "Could it be that Lord Liu and the other adults in the court don't want to see the silver earned? I remember that everyone has a stake, right? Why do you only say that I am like a money junkie? Are you all high-minded people who regard money as dung? ”
Liu Yixiao smiled and said: "How dare the minister, in fact, the minister is more earnest than the emperor, because most of the minister's family property is in it." ”
Tianqi smiled: "It's pretty much the same, in fact, everyone has the desire to pursue wealth, the sage said well, 'A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way', as long as it is the money earned by Zhengda Guangming, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, do you adults say that this is the truth?" ”
Hearing the heavenly inspiration, the ministers all smiled and said, "The emperor is sage! ”
Liu Yixiao thought for a while and said: "This road business bureau may have to wait to see the benefits, after all, building roads requires both silver and time, and because the imperial court has no money, it can only cooperate with those big households for a short time, and the emperor has limited the maximum profit of 20%, it is estimated that it will not be able to make money this year and next year." ”
