Chapter 222: Candidates
Nurhachi died, and in order to accumulate strength, Huang Taiji took the initiative to pay tribute to Daming, and also took the initiative to remove the Khan, thinking that the new emperor of Daming would congratulate.
The last time Nurhachi played this trick to stall for time, this time it was true, because Huang Taiji needed more time.
Without the threat of Jiannu, various problems in other parts of the Ming Dynasty have not yet been stimulated, so at this time, the Donglin Party is not talking about bringing disaster to the country and the people, and it is also more concerned about the government and politics.
Moreover, with the strong support of Zhu Changluo, the Donglin Party is almost a monopoly in the court, and other Zhejiang Party and Chu Party have all died down.
Ye Xun thought that he might be able to get a eunuch out in advance, but he wasn't that interested at all.
The head of the household, Li Zhiwen, took the lead in introducing the current situation of the treasury, and finally said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and Cao Yun will not work now, and the carbon and fire silver of the officials alone will be a huge expense, not counting the salaries of the garrisons in various places, so if there is no large amount of input in a short period of time, I am afraid that this year will not be easy."
In fact, everyone knows that there is another important reason why the imperial court is so short of money, that is, the various expenses for the new emperor to ascend the throne and the burial of the old emperor, but these two things must be spent, and it involves the royal family, who will pick this lid?
Zhu Changluo's enthusiasm as an emperor has not passed, although he is more diligent in government, but after all, the experience is there, and when he encounters such a big thing, he suddenly has no idea.
looked at the following officials who were picked up by him, and said: "If you Aiqing have any good ideas, you might as well talk about them, even if you say something wrong, I will never blame you."
Liu Yijing, a university scholar, said in the class: "Taxation is nothing more than open source interception, while controlling some unnecessary expenditures, you might as well let all localities pay the taxes of tomorrow in advance to solve the urgent need."
Listening to Liu Yijing's words, Li Zhiwen's brows immediately furrowed, but he wisely did not speak, because he knew very well that if he was not in charge of the household department, he would not have been called at all.
Han Kuang shook his head and said, "The end of the year is approaching, what is the difference between collecting taxes in advance at this time and raising taxes?" If you don't make a mess, the minister thinks that he might as well find some merchants to borrow, and when he survives the New Year, the tax revenue of the next year will come up, and then he will pay them back."
Li Beiwen finally couldn't listen to it anymore, what about the cabinet scholars, what kind of bullshit ideas did they come up with? The dignified Ming court actually wants to borrow money from the people, and it is not afraid of being laughed at by others?
He stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Your Majesty can't, borrow money from the people, where will you put the imperial court?" Where is the face of His Majesty? ”
"Taxes together, the rich will be added, the poor will be reduced, last year there were many disaster-stricken places in the south and north of the Yangtze River, the people have been overwhelmed, and no more taxes can be raised, but those rich businessmen who are so rich can also consider"
As soon as Li Bei's words came out, everyone was silent, because among the officials present, who didn't have a few places to buy and sell in Jiangnan? If you want to collect taxes from the merchants in Jiangnan, isn't that tantamount to taking money out of their pockets?
However, Zhu Changluo became interested after listening to Li Beiqing's words, and asked, "Can Li Aiqing be more detailed?" ”
A penny is difficult for a hero, let alone the lord of a country, just in response to that sentence, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!
Feeling the rejection of his colleagues, Li Zhiwen also let go, and smiled maliciously: "Your Majesty, I think we have all found the wrong person, everyone knows that Your Majesty has a financial master by his side, why don't Your Majesty discuss it with him"
After listening to Li Bei's words, except for Zhu Changluo, the court executives present couldn't help but "chuckle" in their hearts, and suddenly remembered, how could they forget that ancestor? If you let this guy go to Jiangnan, you won't have to scrape a layer of skin in Jiangnan to come back!
Zhou Jiamo took the lead and said: "Li Shangshu's words are wrong, now that His Majesty is working hard to govern the country, and is about to cancel the tax supervision in various places, how can he send the palace eunuch out of Beijing again?" ”
It wasn't until Zhou Jiamo finished speaking that Zhu Changluo reacted, daring to love these people is Ye Xun! But isn't it, how did I forget him, I have long heard that this kid is very good at drawing money.
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost the mind to continue to talk with these people, although the opinions of the Donglin Party are important, but compared with the great cause of the empire, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Immediately said: "Come here, spread Ye Xun to see me"
The emperor spoke, and everyone couldn't say anything more, but their faces were gloomy.
The story takes place all the time, and the location is different.
At this moment, there are also two women in Kunning Palace who are gathering together and talking softly, one of these two people is Zheng Guifei, and the other is a half-aged with a hot body, which is naturally Zhu Youxiao's nurse Keshi.
"Guifei Niangniang, if you want to achieve great things, you have to make a decision, you are so hesitant, how can I help you?"
After listening to the words of the Hakka family, Concubine Zheng Guifei smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's really that Ye Xun's thief often accompanies that person, I, I can't go!" ”
Although Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't say that she was afraid of Ye Xun, her expression had betrayed her.
Ke Shi smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, that thief will leave Beijing soon, and you will send people over then."
Concubine Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "How do you know that he will leave Beijing?" ”
Ke Shi smiled coldly and said: "You don't need to know this, prepare to be your queen mother!" ”
Concubine Zheng couldn't help but be secretly angry in her heart, when her husband was alive, who dared to talk to her like this? But now I have to bow my head.
After the Hakka family left Kunning Palace, they soon came to Yingxi Palace, which was the original Taigong, although Zhu Changluo moved to Qianqing Palace, but his favorite Li Xuanzhi still lived here.
When he arrived at Li Xuanshi's place, the Hakka family seemed to be a different person, and he saluted with a smiling face: "Niangniang Wan'an, that old woman has been fooled"
Li Xuan's waiter has a melon seed face, with small eyebrows and a small mouth, very charming, but the chin is a little too sharp, no matter how you look at it, it is a vixen face.
After listening to the Hakka report, the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a mocking smile, and he nodded: "You did a good job, after the matter is completed, this palace will definitely be rewarded."
"Humph! This old woman is really crazy, in order to become the queen mother, she actually wants to kill the king, how can you die when you see it? ”
In Li Xuanzhi's heart, Kunning Palace should be her place, but now the old woman surnamed Zheng said that she would not move anything, since she didn't leave, she could only find a way to get her away.
The harem has never been a place to talk about benevolence, let alone an old woman who is too angry, so is she still qualified to compete with her juniors?
Li Xuan was only immersed in his dream of being a queen, but he didn't notice the look in Hak's eyes at all, which was also full of mockery, viciousness, and some incomprehensible things.
Ye Xun returned from outside the city after sending Lao Fang, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of Xichang, he was blocked by Wei Zhongxian, who had been waiting for him.
"I said brother! Where did you go? But let me find it, come with me, Your Majesty will find you!" ”
With Ye Xun's relationship, Wei Zhongxian was once again arranged by Zhu Changluo's side, so the errand that came to Ye Xun was completed by him...
