Replace officials with officials!

The officials present are not stupid, to put it bluntly, the emperor's policy is to replace officials with officials, and show talents as officials, they don't oppose it, and they can't oppose it. If anyone opposes this, it is estimated that the gate will not be able to get out.

If the officials are substituted for officials, there is only one problem left, and that is finance.

Officials are going to be paid, and the court has so much money?

Zhu Yijun doesn't think so, which of those current officials doesn't take money, and they take a lot. It's just that the money is not from the imperial court, so it's not that you can't afford to support it, and the key is that you can't collect the money.

From settling the accounts of the fields to raising the silver, the officials and gentry paid the grain in one piece, and the fire consumption returned to the public, and it was affordable to support these people.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid the court won't be able to make ends meet!" Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household, said.

As the head of the household department, Zhang Xueyan is very clear about the financial situation of Daming, and Qi Jiguang's dispatch of troops will definitely consume a lot of money. With the current financial situation, it is no problem to support Qi Jiguang to fight a war, but it must not be fought for more than half a year.

Once it exceeds half a year, the money and grain of the imperial court will definitely not be able to keep up, which is the result of the emperor stealing more than 2 million yuan some time ago. But this war is too costly, and Zhang Xueyan is big for a while when he thinks of silver now.

Now that he wants to engage this civil servant again, how many mouths will be added this time, and the court will not have any money.

Zhang Xueyan guessed that the emperor pinned his hopes on Yang Shiyin, but Yang Shiyin had not been confiscated, and he didn't know what happened in the end. Now we will start to eat food and use civil servants on a large scale, and when there is no money, then there will be a big trouble.

"The household department has no money!" Zhang Xueyan seemed to feel that his attitude was not enough, and added.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Xueyan and saw that his attitude was very resolute, with a posture of "I have no money, how do I love it", although Zhu Yijun laughed in his heart, his face was very serious: "Zhang Aiqing, why is there no money in the household department?" ”

"Haven't the finances of the imperial court been very good in recent years?"

"Your Majesty, every account of the money in this household can be checked, yes, the finances have been much better in the past few years, but the expenses of this court are also large! The northwest needs to use troops, and Shanxi and Shaanxi want to make disasters, and this money and grain are already tricky. ”

"Anyway, the minister can't come up with money and food, if Your Majesty has to use civil servants, then the minister please allocate your Majesty's treasury silver."

No one expected Zhang Xueyan to be furious, looking like a broken jar, and the target was directly aimed at Zhu Yijun's inner library. The minister still has some understanding of the emperor's inner treasury, that is, the emperor is rich.

Some time ago, so much silver was copied, and the inner treasury and the household department were opened in three or seven, and the emperor took seventy percent.

In addition, the income of Huangzhuang in recent years is eye-catching, and the vegetables every winter are a lot of income. Now the courtiers know that the emperor has money, and if you want to do this, then you can take the money yourself!

Zhu Yijun was about to be laughed at by Zhang Xueyan, isn't he a scoundrel? The official's money has always been out of the treasury, when is it the turn of the inner treasury.

However, Zhang Xueyan's words made Zhu Yijun move, or should he pay for this civil servant himself?

The money is out, and then add a Ming royal civil servant to the civil servant? Just after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yijun shook his head. The royal sailor still has to play, because the Son of Heaven has a pro-army, which makes sense.

But once the official added the royal family, the nature changed, because in the eyes of the scholars, it was the royal domestic slave.

For example, Jinyiwei, such as Dongchang, Zhu Yijun doesn't want to label civil servants as domestic slaves.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Zhang Shangshu said makes sense!" Shen Shixing also spoke at this time: "The imperial court finance really can't come up with this money, it's better to wait, wait for the imperial court to be more relaxed, it's not too late to do this!" ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing, this old guy has been playing the most slippery with procrastination.

In fact, from Yan Song Xu Jiegao Gong to Zhang Juzheng Zhang Siwei, these cabinet chiefs and assistants of the Ming Dynasty are very strong, if it weren't for Zhang Siwei's father to die, he would have lived a short life, maybe that old guy would be the next Yan Song.

Compared with these people, Shen Shixing is worse, he is loyal and honest, and his temper is not short-tempered. seems to be very in line with the golden mean described by Confucianism, which is why Zhu Yijun uses him, but Shen Shixing is also very entangled.

wants to make a big name in history, and always has a lot of worries, quite Fang Xuanling's meaning, good at planning, but not good at decisiveness.

Zhu Yijun felt that Shen Shixing had difficulty choosing, but at this time, he would definitely not let Shen Shixing drag it down, if it dragged on, the ghost knew when he would be able to bring it up. The imperial court has no money now, but it will have money in the future?

Zhu Yijun didn't believe it, with Daming's foundation and what he wanted to do, it was estimated that Daming was rich and had to wait.

"Hand over to the ministers!" Zhu Yijun pondered for a long time, still showing an undead look and said.

Seeing the emperor stand up and leave, obviously looking like he was ready to do it without giving up, the faces of the ministers present were a little unsightly. Zhang Xueyan's gaze swept over the faces of the people present, and he said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the household department has no money. ”

"If anyone agrees with the emperor doing this, then the official will say ugly things in front, and whoever approves will get the money."

"If you feel that this official is incompetent, you can write to impeach this official, and this official can let this household secretary out, and whoever has the ability will do it!" After saying these words, Zhang Xueyan flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked outside.

Among the six departments, the household department is weighted, but it is not easy to do, after all, Daming has no money!

Shen Shixing glanced at Chen Ji, who was expressionless, and sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was going to fight again.

In Shen Shixing's opinion, Chen Wei will definitely agree, and he will gather people to wave their flags and shout. With the identity of Chen Qidu Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi, he will definitely be able to entangle a large number of people. You must know that this time is a good opportunity to brush up your reputation, and it will inevitably be touted by the talents and Bai Ding, who has not yet made a name for himself.

With the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, the middle court is an official, which is really far away!

Now that we have this system, how many people will benefit from it, and there will definitely be a lot of people in favor. In addition, this is the emperor's policy, this is political correctness, and there is no burden in my heart when I advocate it.

Redundant officials!

Shen Shixing thought of these two words, and decided to make a note around these two words after going back, and then squinted. If you take a clear position against it, you will probably be scolded. He is not like Zhang Xueyan, he is justified in his opposition, or Zhang Xueyan is not opposed, he just said that he has no money.

Even if it is spread out, no one can say anything, thinking of Zhang Xueyan's statement just now, Shen Shixing sighed, old fox!

Regarding the implementation of the civil service system of replacing officials with officials in the imperial court, the news spread quickly, and the people in the entire capital knew about it, and it quickly caused a sensation in the circle of scholars, and the discussion was very loud for a while.

Swallow Tower in Beijing.

As a well-known Qinglou in Beijing, Yanzilou is also a place where scholars often linger, and the so-called poetry and rhyme singing remuneration are just elegant words.

"Brother Liu, I don't agree with your words."

On a wine table, a young scholar put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled and unfolded his folding fan, and then said: "The younger brother thinks that replacing officials with officials is really virtuous, and it is the emperor's wise and martial move. ”

"Who is the little official? A lowly person who does not know the law of etiquette, does not understand the righteousness of a gentleman, oppresses the good, and is a moth. If the court replaces officials with officials, then the world can be clear, and the world is prosperous. ”

"Taking Xiucai as a civil servant is a wise move by His Majesty, Xiucai is a person with meritorious fame, and he should serve the imperial court."

"If this law is implemented, it will definitely give the hopeless scholars the opportunity to serve the country, so many benefits, why can't it be called good governance?"

The man who was called Brother Liu was a man in his thirties, his eyes were not big, and he waited until the other party finished speaking, and then he slowly spoke: "Brother Zhao Xian, what you said is right, but how to solve the problem of redundant officials in the imperial court?" ”

"The financial emptiness of the imperial court is something that everyone knows, once this government is opened, where does it come from?"

"Once Xiucai can become an official, how can he learn from it? will inevitably lead to Xiucai running to be an official instead of concentrating on learning. If you don't concentrate on learning, if you are a gentleman and a gentleman, how to understand the words of a saint is really inappropriate! ”

Glancing at Brother Zhao Xian, Brother Liu said with a smile: "Since Brother Zhao Xiandi agrees so much, when the recruitment of civil servants begins, Brother Zhao Xiandi can go!" ”

Brother Zhao Xian shook his head like a rattle: "I am dedicated to the imperial examination, and I will be a jinshi in the future, that is to be a Hanlin and a cabinet member, how can I be a civil servant of the last grade." ”

Such discussions took place in many places in the capital, with some agreeing and some disappring, and the discussions were lively.

Outside the capital, in a village, a young Xiu was sitting under a tree and reading. Although the robe on his body was very clean, it could be seen that it had been washed many times and looked a little shabby.

"Mr. Li, Li Zheng asked you to come over!" A little child came to Xiucai's side and bowed.

Li Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go over now!" ”

Li Zheng's home is at the entrance of the village, and after Li Xiucai entered, he found that there was a table in the courtyard, with a few dishes on it, and a pot of wine, Li Xiucai was stunned for a moment, what is the situation? Is this to please yourself for a drink?

The village where I am located is called Lijia Village, and everyone has the same surname, and they are also of the same clan.

Although they are of the same clan and clan, Li Xiucai knows a lot about his village, and he is very stingy. Now I actually invite myself to drink, this is not the wrong medicine, right? Although he slandered in his heart, Li Xiucai would bow down and say: "I've seen Uncle Seven!" ”

Li Zheng Li Lian is an old man in his sixties, his hair and beard are a little white, and his small eyes are not big, but he is witty when he turns. Glancing at Liu Xiucai, Li Lian said with a smile: "Yiqi is here, sit down." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and poured Li Yiqi a glass of wine.

"Uncle Seven, but is there something?" Li Yiqi asked with some hesitation.
