Cabinet University Scholar Shin Shixing Residence.

For Shen Shixing, his position as the first assistant of the cabinet is very stable, but his life is not too easy, after all, he has met an emperor who often tosses, which is also something that cannot be helped.

Fortunately, the emperor is quite measured, and there is nothing too troublesome.

"Elder Ge, the matter in the northwest is so big, don't you take care of it?"

Yu Youding looked at Shen Shixing with some concern.

Among the four scholars in the cabinet, Yu Youding has the highest relationship with Shen Shixing. It's not because the two people have similar ideas, but because the two people are in the same year, and both of them are the forty-first year of Jiajing.

At that time, Shen Shixing was the champion, and Yu Youding was Tanhua, one first, one third.

The second list is Wang Xijue, who is now the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

This time, the two most popular candidates are Wang Xijue, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Zeng Shengwu, the left waiter of the Ministry of War. If Wang Xijue can enter the cabinet, then the top three of them will all enter the cabinet.

After so many years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this is something that has never happened.

Because of this relationship, the relationship between Yu Youding and Shen Shixing is very good, and this time Yu Youding also strongly supports Wang Xijue to enter the cabinet. It's just that Shen Shixing is hesitating, although Zeng Xingwu is only the left squire of the military department, Zeng Xingwu is a cadre of the Jiangling Party.

When Zhang Juzheng was alive, Zeng Shengwu won Zhang Juzheng's trust, but at that time, Zeng Shengwu was not qualified enough to enter the cabinet.

If Wang Xijue enters the cabinet this time, and Zeng Xingwu cannot become a cabinet scholar, it will definitely have a bad impact on the relationship between Shin Shixing and the Jiangling Party. The Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang strongly supported Zeng Shengwu to enter the cabinet, although there was no tension between the two sides, but they also began to compete for the throne.

This kind of thing is inevitable in officialdom, there are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent enemies.

In this case, the affairs of the northwest cannot be unscrupulous, and Shen Shixing does not dare to offend the emperor too much.

Yu Youding was also worried about this, so he ran to Shen Shixing to ask for advice. The key is that things in the northwest are too big, everyone is not stupid, wool textile is a big profit, but looking at the meaning of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time, it is clear that it is cheap and expensive.

Seeing that except for the three in the northwest, the textile factories are all nobles.

The three families in the northwest are mainly to appease the local snakes in the northwest, which everyone can see, but the sales federation is still among the nobles, which makes many people unbearable, and the most unbearable of them is the civil officials.

"A lot of people have found you?" Shen Shixing looked at Yu Youding and asked.

Yu Youding didn't refute, nodded, and sighed a little helplessly: "I'm afraid there are a lot of people here, right?" ”

Shen Shixing did not answer Yu Youding, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this, in fact, the people looking for Shen Shixing these days are about to break the threshold of the Shen Mansion. It is always true that wealth moves people's hearts.

"yes!" Shen Shixing sighed and said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, these people see money, but the things in the northwest are not just money!" ”

Yu Youding Moran, of course he understands this truth, these people are not for the profits of the northwest.

"But do you and I both know that the affairs of the Northwest are simple and profitable?" Shen Shixing sighed and said: "Your Majesty is doing this, on the one hand, to reward the nobles, and on the other hand, it is also to arouse the nobles' martial hearts. ”

"Judging from what Your Majesty has done in the salt administration, Your Majesty has always wanted to clean up the honors!"

Yu Youding nodded: "What the elder said is very true, the honors and nobles have indeed changed greatly compared to the past, this time in the Northwest War, many nobles have already made military achievements, which shows that what Your Majesty has done is effective." ”

"In fact, there is another point, that is, compared with the gentry and merchants, the nobles are easier to control."

Shen Shixing sighed and said: "The affairs of the northwest are in Warat, and the affairs of Warat are in wool spinning, Your Majesty chose Xungui because Xungui is easy to control." Giving the wool spinning to the honorable so that His Majesty can hold the wool spinning in his hands. ”

"But once it is distributed to the gentry of the world!" Speaking of this, Shen Shixing himself smiled helplessly.

Yu Youding was also silent, but he still raised his head and said, "But Xungui is greedy!" ”

Shen Shixing didn't speak, but raised his head to look at Yu Youding, the expression on his face was also smiling, and he slowly said after a while: "It seems that the energy of the person who found you this time is not small!" ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Youding's words were actually a bit against his will.

Yu Youding and Shen Shixing are not corrupt Confucians, they see many things very clearly, and they are noble and greedy, this is what literati often say, but are there people in this world who are not greedy? Those who jump up and down are not for the benefit of the northwest.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Youding looked at Shen Shixing and said slowly.

"Of course, follow the book!" Shen Shixing said as a matter of course.

Yu Youding was stunned, listening to Shen Shixing's words didn't mean this!

Seeing Yu Youding staring at him, Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Of course I'm not for the benefit of the northwest, but for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this Ministry of Internal Affairs can't be underestimated now, and the Yanzheng over there in Yangzhou has shares in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

"In the future, every year the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a large amount of money in the account, plus the benefits of the northwest, I am afraid that there will be 10 million taels in the account every year."

"This money is now in His Majesty's hands, this is not a good thing, the court is so big, there are so many places to use the money, of course it is appropriate to put this money in the treasury." Shen Shixing looked at Yu Youding: "You don't understand this truth?" ”

How could Yu Youding not understand, he didn't expect Shen Shixing's idea to be so bold and take out the silver from His Majesty's mouth!

"Don't look at me like that!" Shen Shixing took a sip of water and said with a smile: "The imperial court's income is insufficient, and it is stretched thin every year, so of course such a large sum of money must be used for state affairs, and Your Majesty cannot be stored in the inner treasury." ”

"Every year, a large sum of money is saved into it, and then the state has no money."

Yu Youding hesitated for a while, and then said, "But I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle, right?" ”

"That's why we're going to write a letter to impeach the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Shen Shixing smiled and said: "Your Majesty has written to abolish the Internal Affairs Office, and when the time is ripe, he is proposing to transfer the silver of the Internal Affairs Office to the national treasury." ”

"The money of the robber is all three seven open, and this silver should also be three seven open!"

Yu Youding understood what Shen Shixing meant, and I have to say that Shen Shixing played beautifully.

With everyone's impeachment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at one time, and the impeachment was very fierce, demanding that the Ministry of Internal Affairs be abolished, so as not to offend those officials who jumped up and down. When things are out of control, give the emperor such a suggestion.

It was also sold well by the emperor, and then the silver could be sent to the treasury, which was a multi-kill thing.

"Ge Lao is really true!" Yu Youding thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Xiaguan admires, it really opens Xiaguan's eyes!" ”

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the sparse raindrops outside, a little distracted.

"Emperor, it's cold, don't stand here, lest you get infected with the wind and cold!" Zhang Whale stood behind Zhu Yijun and said cautiously.

The emperor has been in a bad mood these days, of course Zhang Whale knows this, and the air pressure in the entire palace is a little low. Zhang Jing also knew that it was the woolen mill that caused the trouble, and the folds sent in these days were all carried in baskets.

It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has become a rat crossing the street overnight, and it can be said that everyone shouts and beats it.

This has never happened in the past, even when Zhang Juzheng won the love, the six books and the cabinet scholars also strongly supported Zhang Juzheng. Although public opinion was indignant, there was no fierce opposition from the central authorities.

This time it was different, the six books and the cabinet scholars were all on the move, and all of them were impeached by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the household department, was even more fiercely opposed, and several cabinet scholars, all the officials in the imperial court, large and small, impeached the internal affairs office. Chen Ji, who had no position, didn't dare to shout for Zhu Yijun at this time, and he also followed the twists and turns.

Zhu Yijun closed the window a little irritably, he didn't understand how things had come to this point.

There are opposing voices and impeachments, Zhu Yijun can understand it, but it won't come to such a point, right? Especially Shen Shixing and them, is this the wrong medicine? Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household, is not very involved in these things, but this time he danced the most happily.

The Ministry of Officials Shangshu Wang Guoguang has all played a twist and turn, and the rhetoric is still very intense.

Zhu Yijun doesn't understand, what's wrong? When he pushed Yang Shiyin, none of these people jumped up and down like this.

Although it is less difficult to pass the policy and implement the policy, it means that these people still have a conscience.

Now they are all firing at the Internal Affairs Office, if it is said that it simply touches their interests, Zhu Yijun does not believe it.

"Is there any news from the East Factory?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale and asked.

"Back to the emperor, no!" Zhang Jing hurriedly shook his head and said: "The spies from Dongchang have been investigating everywhere these days, but they have not been able to find useful news, the old slave is incompetent, and he asked the emperor to punish the crime!" ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, Zhu Yijun doesn't believe that there is nothing else in it.

The ministers are against it, and the Internal Affairs Office is really not easy to handle, and if it is forced, things will become very troublesome!

In fact, not only Zhu Yijun, but many people didn't expect things to suddenly develop to this point, and the unprecedented unity of civil officials scared many people. Xungui, who was still full of righteous indignation, also became cautious, and the fire of making a fortune in the northwest was poured with cold water on his head.

In this case, no one paid attention to the fact that the tax department started the registration of business certificates in the capital. Not only did no one pay attention, but everyone became very cooperative, and the work of the tax department went very smoothly.
