Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou's faces are good-looking or not, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care too much - the left and right are tossing, rather than letting these troubles toss Daming, it is better for his own emperor to toss them ministers.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "I remember that when the preferential treatment of Xiucai was canceled, there were many discussions in the world, and many people were saying that I was mean and unkind. ”

After waving his hand and stopping Wen Tiren and the others who wanted to open their mouths to defend themselves, Emperor Chongzhen simply stood up and paced: "Actually, it's not wrong to say it, compared to the previous emperors, I am indeed mean.

But there's nothing I can do. From the Apocalypse to the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and even back to the Jiajing period, which year has there been no natural disaster?

Guo Aiqing is the secretary of the household department, and he has the most say in this matter - is there a balance in the treasury in previous years? ”

Guo Yunhou bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since Jiajing to Chongzhen four years ago, there has never been a balance in the treasury, and it has even been empty from time to time.

Since the fifth year of Chongzhen, there has only been a slight surplus in the treasury, but the annual surplus is only a few million taels. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Everyone Aiqing has heard it, right?" From time to time, there is a deficit and a slight surplus! It is said that the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, but what about this silver? ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, Wen Tiren lowered his head together, looked at his nose and nose, and did not deny it.

Seven years before the Apocalypse, there really wasn't much balance in the treasury, and it was normal for the deficit to be short—but after the year of the Apocalypse, you really didn't feel sorry for it?

It is true that there is not much silver left in the treasury, but where is all this money?

The conquest of Liao, the conquest of Tatar, the conquest of Luzon and Java, the conquest of Gansi and Wusizang, the endless migration of the common people, and social studies, which one does not need silver?

Just a salt policy, because of your old man's policy of pricing five cents a pound, how much silver does the treasury have to take to subsidize it?

If it weren't for the opening of the sea ban after the collection of commercial taxes, as well as the non-stop looting of armies in various places during foreign wars, not to mention any surplus in the treasury, and not to lose tens of millions of tens of thousands of taels, it would be the manifestation of the great grandfather!

Besides, even if you don't have much money left in the treasury, your old man's money has a lot of money, right?

Every year, there is still any salt and oil in the Fushou ointment, but it is all into your old man's money, and he has not sent a penny to the treasury at all!

Emperor Chongzhen obviously knew this, too—but it didn't work, and Emperor Chongzhen's face didn't change for a moment.

What happened to the money in the inner pocket?

Do I have such a big family to support? There are several wives, sons and daughters, don't they all have to spend money?

And every year to give some rewards to the people, these do not need to spend money?

Not to mention that there is such a gluttonous gold-swallowing giant beast as the Royal Academy - in the past twelve years of Chongzhen, more than 20 million taels of silver have been thrown into the Royal Academy!

I don't have any money left, so why do I love it!

After laughing cheekily twice, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Among my internal funds, it cannot be said that there is no balance, but there is a lot of money in the Royal Academy, and the internal funds are now very difficult. ”

Guo Yunhou's old face darkened, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although there is some surplus in the treasury, it is unable to supply the Royal Academy, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Wen Tiren also hurriedly bowed down and echoed: "Your Majesty thinks twice." ”

Others don't know how good the Royal Academy is at burning silver, but Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou know it clearly.

Even if you haven't been to the Royal Academy much in normal times, and you don't know how much silver the Royal Academy burned, you can guess a little bit just by the size and staffing of the Royal Academy.

Wouldn't letting the treasury take over such a gold-swallowing giant beast as the Royal Academy, and then not being able to point fingers at the Royal Academy, wouldn't it be tantamount to finding a group of living ancestors for himself? Isn't that something wrong?

Wen Tiren felt that no matter how stupid he and Guo Yunhou were, they would never be stupid enough to do this.

Emperor Chongzhen said with regret: "That's it, the Royal Academy is not assigned to the household department, but to the Shaofu."

As for what Guo Aiqing said, I have some ideas, and a few Aiqing may wish to refer to it for me.

From the beginning of the child's birth, to the end of the jinshi, according to the child's birth, Xiucai, and the person is divided into three classes, one should be preferential treatment of all acres of land to recover, but every month according to the different grades, give the corresponding amount of money and grain subsidies, how? ”

……

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou were both speechless - when it comes to doing things, there is no one better at it than this master!

If it is purely from the point of view of recovering the preferential field, then the children and Xiucai in the world must have no opinion, because these people already have no preferential treatment.

However, the Jinshi who still retained a certain number of preferential fields would definitely be unwilling, or even opposed.

After all, no matter how little silver is saved in a year from 50 acres of preferential fields, it is also real silver, isn't it?

However, Emperor Chongzhen pulled Tong Sheng and Xiucai again.

There are quite a lot of readers in Daming, especially after the recovery of social studies, there are even more readers.

Compared with the Jinshi who are only selected every three years, the number of people raised is undoubtedly several times more, and the number of Tongsheng and Xiucai may be dozens or even hundreds of times that of Jinshi.

As for the people who originally gave grain and silver to the Ming Dynasty, how many were there in total?

According to the restrictions of the Ming system, the number of students is 40 people in the government, 30 in the state, and 20 in the county.

The rest of the people don't have a single hair, no matter whether it's a government school or a county school, they can't get a penny of subsidies.

Pull these people together and give them a little benefit, and it will be obvious what kind of choices these guys who have no preferential treatment will make after getting the so-called subsidy money.

Anyway, I don't have preferential treatment fields, and watching others have them is an extremely uncomfortable thing in itself - there is also a quota limit for the imperial examination, and not everyone can pass the exam!

It was based on this that Emperor Chongzhen decided to abolish the preferential field policy for all students at one time.

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou obviously understand this as well.

Guo Yunhou immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if all the preferential treatment is canceled, it will be nothing, but all the students will be given money and food subsidies?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Of course, it is impossible to give it like this all the time, otherwise if there are people who are content with the status quo, they will no longer be promoted after winning the promotion, what should they do?" Or what about those who fail to pass the examination repeatedly? ”

It's a terrible question.

In the future, there will definitely be more and more readers, and then any talent will become worthless.

Just like later generations, college students in the 80s were all assigned to the university, and as soon as they entered the university, they were national cadres.

Twenty years from now?

Is a college student a yarn? Master's students can't shake up, and they still expect college students to shake it?

Wake up! It's not dark yet!

Wen Tiren arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you limit the time for Xiucai and Juren to get the silver?" If you don't win for three years, you won't be issued again? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "After all Aiqing goes back, you can discuss this matter." It is necessary to give certain preferential treatment to the reader, but not too much. ”

The discussion reached such a point, which basically set a tone for the imperial examination and education after the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, the content of arithmetic and law will be added from the beginning of social studies, and the content of gewu will be added by the time of the county school.

At the same time, there is a general treatment plan for Tong Sheng, Xiucai, and Juren - give grain and silver at different levels, and take back all preferential fields.

Wen Tiren and the others left the palace after eating a meal that didn't know what the taste was, and began to think about how to implement this matter - Daming is so big, this kind of thing goes down directly with a knife, and it is strange not to make a mess!

Emperor Chongzhen can be capricious and can ignore all orders, but not his own officials.

Emperor Chongzhen's capricious capital lies in the fact that the knife in his old man's hand is hard enough, and he has no knife in his hand, so he not only has to work, but also has to bear the infamy.

……

After Wen Tiren and the others took their leave, Emperor Chongzhen sent Ma Shi to scatter the Dongchang fans.

Emperor Chongzhen was also extremely concerned about such an important matter, and naturally wanted to hear the dynamics and reactions in Shilin.

If someone really dares to die, it is better to deal with it in advance.

But Xu Xianchun, who came in a hurry, brought a piece of news that made Emperor Chongzhen happier.

Just like what Taizong said in later generations, black cats and white cats, those who can catch mice are good cats.

Under the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, the two mites of Amin and Mang Gurtai, they were indeed dedicated enough to do things quickly and steadily.

Anyway, since these two guys came into contact with Xia Ezhe, the thoughts in their minds have deviated to varying degrees - it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!

Under this kind of thinking, these two guys not only didn't take other people's lives seriously, but also didn't take the lives of the soldiers of the two banners of Zhenglan and Inlaid Blue seriously.

In addition, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies provided enough artillery and ammunition for these two guys, and Amin and Mang Gurtai had successfully taken Yarkand and Yili Gultai, and pressed towards Turpan together with the Tumut Division.

Judging from all the progress, these two guys should be able to kill Turpan before the autumn of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen comes and completely merge into the Ming Dynasty.

At present, judging from the most basic map, Li Bai's hometown of the Green Ridge area has completely belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and Li Bai no longer has to think about any issues such as passports and passes.

As for sending the news to Emperor Chongzhen now, firstly, because this kind of military progress must be reported to the emperor and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and secondly, because of the problems of the people and officials.

The area of Yaerqiang and Yili is not small, and the barbarians above are basically killing and caught, these two areas have basically become no man's land now, and then divided into several state capitals, there is no problem at all to relocate hundreds of thousands of people.

Faced with this situation, Emperor Chongzhen also began to have a headache - this person will not have enough time!

The construction of the railway in the Ming Dynasty occupies a large number of manpower, and a part of these people will go to Yarkand and Yili, which will inevitably affect the progress of the construction of the railway.

If you don't transfer people to go over, these two newly beaten down territories are equivalent to two no-man's land, and there is no use for birds at all!

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, who had just left the palace, were directly called back with a confused face, discussing the affairs of Yeerqiang and Yili.

For Emperor Chongzhen, what is the purpose of raising these ministers? Isn't it just for them to come up with ideas to carry the black pot!

Guo Yunhou bowed down in pain and said, "Your Majesty, do you want Amin and Mang Gurtai to slow down?" Is this population growth far from keeping pace with the expansion of the newly occupied areas? ”

Emperor Chongzhen groaned and said: "Even if the order is given to the two of them at this moment, this Yeerqiang and Yili have already taken possession, and there are no people in these two places, so can these two places be regarded as my Ming Dynasty?" ”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and ordered: "Go and pass on the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of England to come and see me." ”

After Wang Chengen bowed down, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Let's move the guards first, set up a few garrisons in Yaerqiang and Yili, and then move the people."

It's just that how many people are relocated, and how many officials and officials are needed, need Wen Aiqing to discuss carefully with the officials after she returns. ”

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been transferred from the southern affairs before, and now it is estimated that there is no one available among the officials, right?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I also know that there is no one available now, aren't there still some old officials?" It is enough to select officials from among these old officials at the county level and below, and then select suitable people from other state capitals to serve as higher-level officials. ”

For the first time, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was easy to fight the world and difficult to govern the world.

Since he ascended the throne, he has occupied a lot of territory, and Enko has opened it many times, but the right officials are always not enough!

Even now, there are not enough people!

It has always been a headache for the imperial court, and the population is too small and too little, but when it comes to Emperor Chongzhen, it is completely reversed, and the speed of the new population cannot keep up with the speed of occupying the territory!

It's a never-before-seen story!

Guo Yunhou bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the kings of Fanwang have replaced their fiefs overseas, can the people also exchange their lands to Yarkand and other places?"

Whether it is Nuergandusi or Yarkand and other places, if there is no Ming people, it will not be my Ming land.

However, it is the so-called bustle of the world every day for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. If doubling is not enough to lure people there, what about doubling it? ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, but did not immediately answer Guo Yunhou's words, but lowered his head and summed it up.
