Chapter 656: Booming
As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the decrees of the Qianqing Palace were issued one after another.
The first way is to remember the first emperor, change the yuan to 'peace and harmony', and pray to the heavens for the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the wind and rain are smooth.
The second way is to issue an edict to change the law, order the support of the cabinet and the subjects of the world, eliminate maladministration, and promote the Ming Dynasty.
The third way is to entrust government affairs to the cabinet, with full authority to handle domestic and foreign affairs, big and small, and to suspend the court and other congresses.
The fourth way is to chase merit, and reward the heroes since last year, including Zhou Zhengnei, who have been rewarded like never before, whether it is fame or fortune, it is far better than Chongzhen, who is stingy and stingy.
In Zhou Zheng's class room, Yao Tongshun was teaing and said, "My lord, the fourth course was changed by the emperor." ”
Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "Are you ready?" ”
Yao Tongshun put down the teapot and said, "There is no problem with the officials' department, Sun Shilang will soon preside over the assessment of the officials' department, and Li Rixuan will not interfere." On the side of the household department, Gao Shangshu has prepared 10 million silver, and entrusted eight large merchants in Nanzhili to form a 'land management department', which is already in progress. ”
Zhou Zheng listened, thought quietly for a while, and said: "Tell the third division, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, follow up and cooperate." ”
Yao Tong said: "Yes." On the side of the military department, it is also in place. ”
The so-called 'in place' means that the general troops of the thirteen provinces have arrived at the designated position and are stationed, and the place is stabilized.
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said, "Make a plan, I'm going to Nanzhili for a trip." ”
Yao Tongshun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord, Jianyu's side should be coming soon." ”
Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Then postpone it a little bit, and ask the household servant to go first." ”
Yao Tongshun wrote it down and said, "Yuanfu gave 200,000 yuan to the northwest for disaster relief, and Chen Yan went." ”
Zhou Zheng was not surprised, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry about them, let's concentrate on our affairs." ”
Yao Tongshun raised his hand and bowed to leave.
On the cabinet side, it seems that the turmoil is not moving, and the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have made big moves.
First of all, the Ministry of Officials issued a report, updated the new assessment standards of the Ministry of Officials, requiring officials at all levels to concentrate on the 'people's livelihood', and formulated strict assessment details, the implementation of responsibility to the head, one by one the punishment is very clear and harsh.
As soon as this report came out, the entire capital exploded, and I don't know how many people complained bitterly, and rumors flew all over the sky for a while.
In addition to a 'one wrong word, the pipe hat falls; One wrong step, prison sitting' nursery rhyme, spread throughout the capital.
Subsequently, the household dropped a bombshell, suffocating the capital.
The household department issued a newspaper stamped with a jade seal and the first assistant of the cabinet, which clearly pointed out that the problem of the Ming Dynasty was fundamentally in the 'land', and it was planned to use three years to acquire more than sixty percent of the world's land, which would be managed by the household department, leased to the people, and prohibited from trading.
As soon as this report came out, there was no sound in the huge capital for a while, because everyone didn't know how to react!
Subsequently, the Criminal Department issued a report to intensify the control of bandits and other dangers, and vertically manage local arrests.
Subsequently, it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Thirteen Departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be reinstated again, and it will cross and quickly crack down on corruption, inaction, unspoken rules and other officialdom phenomena.
The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites quickly followed up, and one by one the newspapers were issued, which spread throughout the capital, and then spread to the world.
The provincial governors and governors had known this for a long time, and they had already worked out the scope, amount, and estimated time of the land to be acquired.
Zhou's ticket number is not bad now, tens of millions of cash, countless assets have not been disposed of, it can be said that it is extremely wealthy.
With the support of silver, the governors of various places are throwing off their arms, arrogant, and full of ambition.
The 'reverse case' is not over, there is really a head iron, the third division and Jinyiwei, the East Factory directly won it, and it was neat.
With sugar on one side and a stick on the other, Zhou Zheng sat in the capital and wielded the entire Ming Dynasty.
Before the first month passed, the pressure in the capital was like a mountain.
Not only have the localities complained bitterly, I don't know how many people have resigned one after another, but some people have openly jumped out to oppose the change of the law, citing scriptures and classics, and they can't get rid of the word 'ancestral system', but it has also made many people unable to refute it, and some of them are at a loss.
The acquisition of acres of land has also met with resistance, and acres of land have always been the most important private property, who is willing to sell them to the imperial court? Even the people who can't survive are sold to the gentry in the township and are well known!
It can be said that Zhou Zheng's 'changes', except for the military reform, have encountered strong resistance.
At this moment, Qian Qianyi was sitting in Zhou Yanru's room, and said with a sinking face: "Yuanfu, the capital, and Nanzhili are also boiling, the people are crying with their families, and the gentry are looking at each other, this change will do more harm than good." ”
Zhou Yanru's expression was unmoving, and his expression was flat.
Qian Qianyi continued: "The lower officials have an overview of the past and the present, and the plan to change the law is rarely beneficial, and all of them are overthrown afterwards, all of which are a waste of national strength, and it is not beneficial to the country and the people......"
Zhou Yanru saw that Qian Qianyi looked worried about the country and the people, and said lightly: "Why don't you go to Zheng Xibo to say these words?" ”
Qian Qianyi's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and said: "Yuanfu is the prime minister in charge of the government, and this matter must be nodded by Yuanfu after all." ”
Zhou Yanru looked indifferent and said, "Do you think I can convince Xibo?" Or do you think it will be good for you that I fight him? ”
Qian Qianyi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Yuanfu, the lower officials have no such intentions!" ”
Zhou Yanru snorted coldly and said: "I don't care what your purpose is, changing the law is the attitude of the imperial court, outside, you have to express it firmly, if you are half-hearted, or have any other ideas, don't care if I don't miss the friendship of my fellow villagers!" ”
Qian Qianyi's face sank like water and turned into the color of pig liver, he originally thought that with the advancement of Zhou Zheng, so many interests of Zhou Yanru were touched, and Zhou Yanru should not be indifferent, at least to express his existence and restrain Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Yanru, what does this mean?
Qian Qianyi left with a pig's liver-colored question, Fan Wenjing sent him out, looked at his back, and shook his head secretly.
Only Fan Wenjing will understand why Zhou Yanru's attitude is like this - in addition to the tacit understanding with Zhou Zheng that 'well water does not interfere with river water', there is also an exchange!
This time, Zhou Zheng did not seal the Guogong, mainly because of the transaction. Zhou Zheng did not add the principality, in exchange for Zhou Yanru's 'silence' in changing the law.
Silence is support!
At the same time, in the new barracks outside Beijing, Zhou Zheng met Huang Taiji's fourth son, Ye Bushu. and Dolgon, who escorted him.
The reason why it is Ye Bushu is because the three elder brothers in front of him are all dead.
It stands to reason that he is most qualified to inherit Huang Taiji's Manchu emperorship, but his mother's status as a concubine is humble and he is not valued in the Shenyang Imperial Palace. In addition, the Jianyu people do not have a descendant system, which makes him dispensable and becomes the best proton.
The fourteen-year-old boy was white and pure, and he was also a little cringe.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about him, and his eyes fell on Dolgon's face.
This is a very resolute person, you can see it from the corners of his face.
