Chapter 429: Selecting the Losers
Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace after the dynasty and began to deal with today's excerpts. www.biquge.info However, Yun Xi did not distribute the folds according to the previous method today, but adopted a different method.
Yun Xi said: "I just asked the people of the General Administration, and today's performance did not report any major events, so I want to take a look at the people's ability today. ”
The fourth auxiliary officer was not surprised, nor was he disappointed. Now the position of the four auxiliary officials actually has no real power, and the only advantage is that they are well-informed and close to the emperor, but they are all Yunxi's cronies, so this is not of much significance, so whether it is themselves or Yunxi, they have always wanted to send them to the provinces as political envoys, commanders, or in charge of the six departments.
But now there is no one around Yunxi who can replace them, and they can't be released for a while, so Yunxi has been trying to cultivate the people around him to the level of being able to vote for Yunxi.
Guo Zhen is most familiar with Yun Xi, looking at Yun Xi's mood is not bad, he said jokingly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have long wanted to be sent out to the local area to be the commander of the capital, hurry up and train them." ”
Yun Xi also smiled and told them a few jokes, and then let the housekeepers start to play the bill.
The people are so excited! Although Yun Xi sometimes consulted them before, where did such a time come? Everyone was full of excitement, took the fold and sat down to read it. It took a long time for many people to calm down and vote seriously.
There weren't many folds today, and in less than a quarter of an hour, someone finished drafting the fold ticket in his hand and handed it to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi looked up and saw that it was Zhang Fu who had finished the first ticket to be distributed to him. During the Chinese New Year, there were fewer things to do in the army, and the folds were distributed to several Tongshi Sheren, and each person received much less than the Zhongshu Sheren, and of course it was much faster.
Yun Xi went through these folds and felt that there was no problem, so he asked Wang Xi to copy them again.
Then he looked at Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu's counterinsurgency this time was awkward, and he couldn't deal with Zhang Yu when he met him during the war, so he just followed Yun Xi's side to give advice and did not go to the front line to fight.
Yun Xi also had the intention of keeping him by his side to take Guo Zhen's place. However, now his qualifications are still a little worse, and he still needs to continue to train.
After that, the other generals also finished their own folds one after another and handed them over to Yun Xi.
After a while, the people of the Zhongshu House also finished drafting tickets one after another, and sent the recital to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi looked at it carefully one by one, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took out a piece of the fold and read it several times.
After that, he read a lot of excerpts and drew a few copies from them. After answering all the excerpts, Yun Xi picked up a few excerpts beside him and said, "Who voted for these excerpts from Heyan and Huguang?" ”
A somewhat uneasy voice sounded: "Your Majesty, it is the minister's vote." ”
Yoon-hee looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a man about twenty-eight or nine-year-old bowing over there.
Yun Xi said gently: "I remember that you are selected from the household department to be the middle scholar? ”
The man said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Qi Tai said at this time: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Xia Yuanji, and he is a talent recommended by the minister when he served as the head of the household department. At that time, this person was serving as the head of the household department, and the minister felt that this person had a strong view of the overall situation, so he recommended it to His Majesty as a member of the Zhongshu House. ”
Hearing what he said, Yun Xi also remembered this person. At that time, Yun Xi also paid special attention to this person, but later he forgot about it because there were too many things.
And, the name 'Natsuharaji' seems to be a little familiar. Have I heard it somewhere? Yun Xi thought.
In any case, Xia Yuanji's votes this time are very good, not only solving the matter itself, but also being able to take into account the actual local situation and solve the problem at the lowest cost, which is really good.
Yun Xi praised Xia Yuanji a few more words, and then asked him to stand aside.
Subsequently, Yun Xi mentioned again: "Who voted for the recital of Zhili and Yunnan? ”
Two people said separately: "Minister Zhao Diyi (Su Youxue) votes." ”
Yun Xi called the two to his side and rewarded Xia Yuanji as well. Although the two of them are slightly worse than Xia Yuanji, they are also very powerful, and Yun Xi feels that they are not worse than the previous Chen Xingshan.
In particular, "Zhao Aiqing, how did you come up with such a vote in this Huizhou Mansion Ding Sijuan case?" Yunxi asked.
Zhao Diyi said: "Your Majesty, the minister had noticed before that She County and the other five counties had already fought a lawsuit when His Majesty was personally conscripted, and this fold was transferred to His Majesty at that time. ”
"The minister was quite curious, so he checked the archives and found that since the twenty-fifth year of Zhizheng, this raw silk has been borne by She County alone for more than 30 years, and if it is easily arranged for other counties, I am afraid that other counties will complain."
"It is better to cancel this tax, but in accordance with the policy of the first emperor in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, make up for it with the materials and silver of Huizhou Mansion, so that the people of the other five counties of Huizhou Mansion will not complain, and She County will also pay less taxes, and the taxes of the national dynasty have not been reduced."
Here's what this memorable says. In the twenty-fourth year of Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang became king, and then revised the yuan tax. However, during the inspection at the end of that year, the Zhongshu Province found that there was a problem with the tax amount, so there was a restructuring in the following year, and the taxes of many subjects had to be adjusted. In the end, it was decided to levy a summer tax of four yuan per mu.
But this was originally the tax of the entire Huizhou government, and somehow it was all borne by She County alone.
It's okay if you keep being confused like this, but recently a person who was an official in Shexian County discovered this problem. As a native of She County, he naturally couldn't sit back and watch the county pay so many more taxes, so he united with the local gentry to make a concession to the court.
The Huizhou government inquired about the other five counties, and the other five counties were naturally unwilling to bear the tax, and the Huizhou government did not dare to make a decision, so it finally reported it layer by layer and went to Yunxi.
Zhao Diyi's approach was to cancel this 'summer tax dingsi' and make up for it with material silver. The so-called material silver is the money requisitioned for the repair of the yamen at all levels of the imperial court. In the early years of the dynasty, because there were many things that needed to be built, the amount of material silver was not small. However, the actual money used in these years has decreased year by year, and Zhu Yuanzhang in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu has been reduced or exempted once, and the materials and silver levied every year after that have been used up and have some surplus.
According to Zhao Diyi's practice, the surplus in the government can be used in recent years to replenish with material silver, and the burden on the other five counties will not be increased. However, these surpluses will inevitably be exhausted in a few years, and will still be apportioned among the counties at that time. But by that time, the other five counties would probably have forgotten about the incident and would not protest because of it. It is equivalent to using a covert method to divide the money, and there will be no problems.
In fact, if you directly order the apportionment, the local area will just make trouble for a while, Yun Xi is not particularly fond of this method, but the means reflected in it are very powerful.
So Yun Xi attaches great importance to this person named Zhao Diyi.
Yun Xi rewarded them with a few words, and then ordered the fold to be handed down, ending today's review fold. After that, Yun Xi said: "Today is the last day before the New Year, as long as you leave someone on duty tomorrow, you can step down." ”
But after they retreated, Yun Xi looked thoughtfully at the backs of the departing officials, and only turned around and returned to the harem after a while.
