Chapter Eighty-Six: Flat Position

In the imperial palace of the imperial capital, Chongzhen was reviewing the twists and turns passed from all over the country on the dragon case, and Sun Chengzong of the lower officials, Li Mingrui of the Hanlin Academy, and Shi Heng, who supervised the imperial history, were honestly standing aside and waiting for Chongzhen to finish processing the folds in his hand.

"Several Aiqing came at the same time, this is very rare, what's the problem, let's say" These people found themselves at the same time, Chongzhen knew where he must be in trouble, these people are busy now, and if there is no problem, they will not have the time to find their own chat.

"The emperor's eyes are like torches, and the ministers have indeed encountered problems, and please ask the emperor to decide" The latest to speak is Sun Chengzong, the official secretary, who made him the biggest official here. After speaking, several people handed Chongzhen their own recitals.

"I won't watch this recital, let's say it directly if you have any questions" People are here, and they have to ask questions after reading it, it is better to let these people directly narrate the convenience, the long-term review of the folds made Chongzhen a little tired, raised his hand and gently rubbed his Qingming acupoint.

"Your Majesty, now the number of displaced people who have built official roads in Shanxi has reached more than three million people, and they are still increasing, and the grain reserves they have now can only last for 3 months according to the current consumption.

"I remember that this kind of thing is in charge of the household department, why didn't those household officials mention it when they went to court, and now it's time for you, the secretary of the ministry, to come to me?" Chongzhen felt a little strange about this, the group of people from the household department of the upper dynasty didn't ask questions yesterday, why did Sun Chengzong come to the door today.

"Back to the emperor, those main officials of the household department have been transferred by the emperor to build the official road, only some of the remaining things are in the maintenance of the Ministry of Works, and now there is no one in charge, so I found the old minister here" After the last Chongzhen's toss, now all departments are seriously short of people, of course, this is not to say that there is a lack of personnel, but the lack of those who can preside over the overall situation, now the household department is still the book of Shi Kefa, and Yang Sichang, the waiter, and a group of people have been transferred to build the official road, and the rest are either not of enough grade to go to the court, Either they are small people who can't stand in the hall even if they go to court, and they stand far outside the hall, and if they have any problems, they can only find other high-ranking officials who have entered the hall to play on their behalf, and then wait for the emperor's summons.

"It's not a matter if the head of the household has not been a long-term official, I remember that there is a vacancy in the household department, so let Liu Ruozai, the champion of Enke last time, go to the household department to be a waiter" can be admitted to the champion, none of them are stupid, these people have been checked by Jinyi Wei as early as when they are raised, and if there is a problem, they can't go to the capital, let alone the champion Jinshi and the like.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ruozai is just a newcomer who has never been an official, and the current Shangshu and Zuo Shilang of the household department are not in Beijing, so it may be inappropriate to let him be in charge of the household department" Li Mingrui of the Hanlin Academy was a little worried.

"Aiqing, people are all exercised, and you always have to give young people some opportunities, but there is some truth in what you are worried about, so let's let him act as the right attendant of the household department first, if he performs well, then it's good, if not, it's changing" Chongzhen is still very willing to use newcomers, young people are always full of enthusiasm, for the so-called monarchy of the world, everything can be thrown away when the head is hot, there is rush into the vitality, maybe the means of doing things are not as slippery as those old fritters, But what the current empire wants is this kind of momentum to dare to fight.

"Your Majesty, the minister received the news that now the price of grain in Shanxi has grown wildly, and many merchants have begun to hoard grain, salt and other daily necessities in many cities and some disaster-stricken areas where official roads have passed, and secretly raise prices, buy high and sell low to obtain huge profits, and in the long run, once the granary of the empire has no grain, the consequences dare not imagine," supervised Yu Shiguang Shiheng expressed his worries.

"At this time, I also noticed that these merchants, the empire confiscated a penny of business tax, not only did not appreciate but took advantage of the fire to rob, Aiqing can have any suggestions" Chongzhen has long thought about the trouble of this group of merchants, the merchants of this period are completely not restricted by the state, and they are even more ruthless when they sell the country at a critical moment, and they are the most disgusting people, but it is not yet time to promote business taxes and find trouble with that group of merchants, and now Cao Huachun of Dongchang has secretly gone to Shaanxi to deal with the Jin merchants, and when the Jin merchants fall, it will be the turn of the J merchants to raise prices.

"Since ancient times, the restriction of merchants is nothing more than that, but to make the Jia people not allowed to ride in clothes, heavy rent and tax to humiliate them, if there is no farming, dedicated to the end of the author, is for the vagrants, then arrest and other policies, now the Ming Dynasty officials have collapsed, the emperor only needs to reorganize the rule of officials, and vigorously promote the heavy agriculture and suppression of business in order to change the current status quo" As a traditional scholar, Guang Shiheng naturally looks down on businessmen, and spares no effort to crack down on businessmen.

"Merchant, there are still restrictions on restrictions, but not one can be suppressed, I plan to let the little eunuch of the imperial eunuch come forward to form the imperial merchants, and integrate them with the newly built Huangzhuang all over the country to form a national large business group, and the imperial merchants will be responsible for the purchase and sales, Huangzhuang farming and production, cooperate with each other, and at the same time build large-scale parity warehouses in Huangzhuang in various places, reserve grain, salt and other necessary materials for the people's life, Huangzhuang has purchased all kinds of grain for a long time, and the imperial merchants will sell all kinds of Huangzhuang reserves at a parity price. At the same time, the law was promulgated stipulating that food, salt and other necessities of life, the price of merchants in various places shall not be higher than 20% of the price of the imperial merchants, and all those who are higher than the price of the imperial merchants will be confiscated by the government and distributed to the frontier, and this plan is now being tried in the north of the empire that has been affected by the disaster, and all kinds of things in the south are not ordered by me to leave it alone" If you want to limit prices, the best way is for the government to come forward to form a merchant group, open shops, and sell all kinds of daily necessities at affordable prices. At the same time, the law was used to bind the premium of merchants everywhere.

At present, the south of the empire has not suffered any natural disasters, relatively stable, but after these years of development, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the rights have been occupied by the landlords and businessmen of the major families, and now it has become a big trend, even if Chongzhen sends a governor, the imperial history has been useless in the past, and it is about to force this group of people to be anxious, Chongzhen believes that the group of people does not mind the empire to change an emperor, although Chongzhen is not afraid of the group of people who are rebelling, but they also need various resources such as grain, workers, and wood in the south.

Although at present, he and the group of vested interests in the south have each looked at each other unpleasantly, but after all, they have not torn their faces, and their own emperor can still mobilize some resources in the south, for recruiting some craftsmen, sending people to collect some grain, mining some timber and other actions that do not touch the fundamental interests of the other party, after all, he is the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and that group of people still has some estimates, so the two sides reached a tacit understanding, they will not go to their trouble, and that group of people will not embarrass the people they sent to do things.

If you don't know how to go to the south to confiscate land and build a new imperial village, and set up an imperial merchant to build a cheap warehouse, it will cut off the financial route of that group of people, and cutting off people's financial route is like killing your parents. Chongzhen dared to guarantee that the group of people would immediately find a class to rebel under the pretext of "Qingjun's side", the reason why the emperor is supreme is because the emperor represents the largest vested interest group in the world, if he falls out with this group, a large-scale civil war can not be avoided, and before the new interest group that supports himself does not rise, Chongzhen can guarantee that it is himself who is abolished.

If you dare to play like this when you first come, you will be killed in vain, but now that you have mastered the most elite army in the north of the empire, recruited a large number of soldiers, and replaced the six departments and officials at all levels, if someone wants to move themselves, then you must first ask the hundreds of thousands of troops and newly appointed officials at all levels whether they will agree, and in addition to the orthodox righteous name they occupy, the group of people in the south can only compromise step by step like frogs in warm water, until they finally can't stand it and will come to a dying struggle.

"Don't stop the progress of building the official road, I will solve the food problem" It's not that the empire's grain is not enough to eat, but most of the grain has been hoarded by merchants from all over the country, waiting for the priceless rise, so as to make a fortune, but the group of merchants saw the money, and the more the price of food rose, the more they held it in their hands, wanting to make more money. The end result was that most people could not afford to buy food, and they either starved to death or were forced to rebel.
