"Since then, in the country, it is forbidden for someone to set up a ticket number privately, and once it is discovered, the nine clans will be punished."

Regardless of the ugly faces of the officials below who died, Chongzhen continued: "The salary of the national dynasty is indeed lower, and the civil and military officials dedicate themselves to the country, and the national dynasty cannot just ask everyone to dedicate themselves to the country, and treat everyone badly." Chongzhen pondered for a while, and then said: "I have a few things, and the secretaries will discuss it again to see what kind of charter it should be."

First, a salary increase. I want to raise the salaries of all officials in the country, but the officials at all levels will rise by how much, and the cabinet and the ministry will come up with a charter, so that officials at all levels can ensure that the life of a family of ten will not be difficult without corruption.

The second is to maintain integrity. My original intention was for the officials to open an account in the Daming Minsheng Bank, and since the day the official came out, there would be different amounts of pension silver deposited into the account every month. When the member is old, it can be taken out at one time. If there is corruption and other things in the middle, not only is the money gone, but he himself will also have to peel off the skin. This kind of incorruptible money is like a salary, which is divided according to the rank of the official, and I am interested in 10% of the monthly salary.

The third is the official's pension. After that, those who were officials of the state were not allowed to do business among the three clans, and they were not allowed to do business in the name of others. Just thinking about the livelihood of the official after returning to his hometown, it is necessary to deduct a part of the employee's salary every month, and the state treasury will subsidize the same amount of silver, which will be deposited in the pension account of the Daming Minsheng Bank. ”

As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, the ministers below knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is merciful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" "After all, this is related to the vital interests of every official, and since the emperor is ready to raise a butcher's knife to fight corruption like Emperor Taizu Hongwu, then these officials have only two options.

Either get out, or be disobedient and continue to be corrupt, the consequence is that after being found out by Jinyiwei, the whole family will be unlucky.

The stick just now did hurt, but this sweet jujube was also sweet enough. Even if you can't do business, you don't dare to be corrupt, but your salary has risen, and you are not afraid that you won't be able to maintain your life in the future, and the whole family will starve if you become an official.

Chongzhen's next words made these officials who were packed up to death: "Although I grew up in the palace, I also know that the life of officials is not easy, after all, the staff, attachés, etc., all paid their own money. It is my intention to set a quota for the attachés of officials at all levels, to be hired by the treasury, and this matter is not to be resolved by the cabinet along with the previous articles. ”

When Chongzhen signaled to disperse, the ministers dispersed one after another. It's just that the cabinet and the bigwigs of the six ministries have all come to the cabinet to discuss how to do Emperor Chongzhen's will.

After all, Wen Tiren was the head of the cabinet, so he was the first to speak: "Your Majesty's meaning, do you all understand?" ”

Seeing that everyone signaled, Wen Tiren continued: "Our majesty is not like the previous ones, no matter what others say. The killing is decisive, no less than Emperor Taizu.

What the official said is clearer, do things obediently, Your Majesty will not hesitate to reward, and those craftsmen who made cement are. Since the founding of the dynasty, how have there been any barons and viscounts? Your Majesty said yes, then there is.

If someone still has their own little abacus in their hearts, it will be easy to do, but Lord Huang and Chen Yushi are still hanging on the noon gate. ”

As a member of the eunuch party, Shi Fenglai never thought of himself as a eunuch, he felt that he was 100% of the imperial party, and he was just loyal to the emperor. Seeing Wen Tiren say this, Shi Fenglai spoke: "What Lord Shoufu said is extremely true. We should serve Your Majesty with all our hearts. ”

After a pause, Shi Fenglai said again: "All of Your Majesty's will today is linked clockwise, but in a certain opinion, the root is above this Ming Royal Bank." I don't know what you think? ”

Guo Yunhou, the head of the household, said with a wry smile: "Everyone else wants to have as much power in their hands as possible, but this official is too much now." Who understands what Your Majesty said about the bank? If it is like a ticket number, it is just a big ticket number, what kind of Royal Bank did Your Majesty set up first, and what did Minsheng Bank set up for purpose? If it is different from the ticket number, how does it work? ”

Wen Tiren said: "In the old man's opinion, Your Majesty's intention is to separate this printing currency from the operation of this ticket number.

It's easy to say about printing, just find more craftsmen and those who have ticket numbers to do it. It's just that the old man doesn't have a clue about this operation. ”

Shi Fenglai said: "The old man only knows a little about this ticket number. It is nothing more than depository silver, which can be withdrawn in other places, but the cost of keeping it is not low. In this middle doorway, Lord Guo might as well hand over the waist card to the palace and ask His Majesty for advice in person. ”

Guo Yunhou smiled bitterly and said: "Now that Your Majesty is unpredictable, how dare the lower officials go to the palace to solve the mold?" If Your Majesty thinks we are incapable of going so far, then what is the use of waiting for us? ”

Shi Fenglai said: "It's okay, this matter was proposed by His Majesty, presumably His Majesty also has some ideas in his heart, it is better for Lord Guo to go to the palace to ask for advice." If Lord Guo is scared, but it is not necessary, the old man is willing to accompany Lord Guo to the palace to face the saint, how about it? ”

It turned out that Shi Fenglai was also playing his own little ninety-nine. He felt that the emperor didn't know what was good about Wen Tiren, and he suddenly became the first assistant of the cabinet, but what about himself? When Huang Liji was the second assistant, Huang Liji fell, and he was still the second assistant.

simply take this opportunity to show his face in front of Chongzhen more, and then appear to be more courageous than Wen Tiren, not afraid that the emperor will not have an opinion on Wen Tiren.

Guo Yunhou was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Shi Fenglai: "Thank you Shi Ge Lao!" In his heart, he was secretly grateful to Shi Fenglai for helping him.

Wen Tiren said: "There is no hurry to enter the palace, and there is another matter, but it needs to be bothered by Lord Guo." ”

Guo Yunhou asked, "Please show Lord Shoufu." ”

Wen Tiren said: "Since Your Majesty wants to give me a salary increase, but I need Lord Guo to mobilize the archives in the household department, calculate how much a family of ten needs for a month, and how much officials at all levels spend in a month, we can also use this as a basis to hand over the excerpt." ”

When Guo Yunhou heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Shoufu, but there is no archive in the household department." If you want to mobilize, you still need to go to the brocade guard to get it, presumably they have an archive there. ”

Although Wen Tiren had just taken over the cabinet for a short time, he had already expected this, so he said to Guo Yunhou: "That's it." This matter was just for the old man to go to see the field Ergeng. ”
