"Guys, why is that?"

Yang Qing exclaimed clumsily in his acting skills.

"Loyal and brave marquis, ask loyal and brave marquis to think of the common people in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Gu Xichou bowed his waist and said earnestly.

"Ruiping said it seriously, although the King of Qin was born in a rogue and had a bad reputation before, but he has also reformed himself, last time Gao Yigong and others wanted to make trouble, wasn't it also stopped by King Qin's strict order? Even if he comes to Nanjing, he will not commit any crimes, and besides, His Majesty is watching! You don't need to worry, it's really not good, there are still brothers and me and Huang Jingnan and others staring at you! ”

Yang Qing said.

"Marquis Zhongyong, we are not outsiders, so don't say more about these words."

Zhang Guowei said.

"You make an offer!"

He hesitated for a moment and said resolutely.

"We're not doing business, so there's nothing to offer."

Yang Qing said.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please change the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and make the Marquis of Zhongyong the Governor."

Zhang Guowei said very simply.

Anyway, don't worry about anything else at this time, holding Yang Qing is the most important thing, Yang Qing really wants to pat his ass and take the princess to Li Zicheng's side, he has no loss, and in the end he can hold the beauty, but the Jiangnan gentry are waiting to be killed, compared with the life of the net worth, the prosperous era of the Jiangnan gentry, nothing else is worth mentioning, give him military power, give them military power!

Princess Kunxing looked at Yang Qing.

"Zhang Gong, this is not enough."

Yang Qing said.

"What more do you want?"

Xie Xuelong asked vigilantly.

"It's very simple, to carry out a comprehensive reform of the current system, the first assistant is in charge of government affairs, but the cabinet is no longer simply composed of the first assistant and the second assistant, but by the first assistant and the six Shangshu, all government affairs are jointly agreed by the cabinet members, but the supervisory state has the final decision."

Yang Qing said.

Zhang Guowei and the others' eyes lit up.

This is a good thing, in fact, because Shi Kefa is confused and doesn't take care of things, the government is what they discussed with Yang Qing, and now Yang Qing is just turning this way into a system, but this system is beneficial to them, in the final analysis, this is to limit the imperial power, and the restriction of the imperial power is also what they have been working hard for, of course, they also know that Yang Qing is definitely going to enter the cabinet, but this is still not a big deal, even the metropolitan governor has given it to him, how can he care about a cabinet minister.

"Most of the governors are not in the cabinet."

Yang Qing said.

"Huh?!"

Zhang Guowei and others were confused.

"The superintendent of the country and the governor of the capital, the governor's office has five departments, including staff, organization, logistics, equipment, and navy, and the chief of the five departments is in the cabinet."

Yang Qing said.

"What is the Ministry of War doing?"

Zhang Guowei was stunned.

"The Ministry of War is in charge of the militia in various places, the system of guards has been completely abolished, and all the military households of the original guards have been classified as civilians, and the official fields currently planted are handed over to them for continued rent according to different circumstances, and the maximum cannot exceed forty percent, and there is no need to pay taxes, but they are incorporated into the militia, and the peasants must receive regular training, and once the state needs to receive a conscription order, they will join the army to serve. With the system of the Beijing battalion, the military system at all levels of the army and battalion is retained in all localities, and each army has a commander, and the brigade has a commander, which is held by officers at all levels, such as the original guard department and the commander, and the militia training is responsible for them, but if they are active officers, they are not under the control of the military department, but are appointed by the organization department of the metropolitan governor's office. ”

Yang Qing said.

That's still nothing to do with the military department.

Zhang Guowei had a gloomy face, it was obvious that after this reform, the Ministry of War would be in charge of a bunch of lists.

Yang Qing is to turn military households into civilian households.

And those officers are to settle those hereditary officers of the guard, to prevent these people from making trouble, the military households have received huge benefits, the maximum can not exceed forty percent of the land rent or tax exemption, those tenants have blood-red eyes, hating why they are not born as military households, you must know that they can reach up to eighty percent, and the military households that they originally disdained the most immediately became the superior of the people.

Those yeoman farmers are not treated like this.

The tax borne by yeoman farmers is definitely more than the maximum rent of 40%.

One can imagine how those military households should cheer.

Although the interests of those guards will definitely be damaged, after all, they all use the guards as their own peasants, but they can't do anything without the support of military households, and since they are included in the active management of the metropolitan governor, Yang Qing's style will definitely not lose their military salaries, so they will eventually pinch their noses and accept it, but the problem is that the military department will exist in name only.

"The guard is an ancestral system."

Zhang Guowei said.

Yang Qing spread his hands and retreated to the north.

Zhang Guowei took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood that was obviously about to get out of control.

In this way, the military power will be completely vested in the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Although the Metropolitan Governor is not Yang Qing, everyone understands that it is the same as his, and the military power held by the civilian officials in various places has been completely handed over, and the logistics are all under the Dadu Governor's Office, how can the Governor control the military power, and even the ordnance manufacturing rights of the Ministry of Industry have been handed over, haven't you heard that the Dadu Governor's Mansion still has an equipment department? It is impossible for civilian officials to make money through ordnance manufacturing, and there is only one civilian official left who can influence the army, that is, when the household department pays money, but the problem is that in the future, Yang Qing did not send the governor into the cabinet, but he sent in five governors at once!

What the hell is this Tamar Admiral?

Six Shangshu to five chiefs, at most civilian officials plus a cabinet chief, seven to five, but also to save some face for civilian officials did not become a military government.

But these are all appointments from the prison state!

Yang Qing turned around and asked his fiancée to appoint a few more civil officials of his own party, Li Yutian should be ready to go, he has to get one, plus Gao Hongtu's seven to five is reversed, plus a wavering Shi Kefa, the Jiangnan civil official system is completely defeated. But if you don't agree, then Yang Qing can really clap his hands to find Li Zicheng, anyway, Li Zicheng has already sealed the official seal for him, a good thug like him is popular everywhere, one day Li Zicheng usurped the throne, and he is still indispensable to a prince, but the Jiangnan gentry have to cry and blood.

"Agreed!"

Zhang Guowei almost gritted his teeth and said.

He really agreed, because even if Yang Qing repelled Li Zicheng this time, in the end, the latter would still be pressed on the head of the Jiangnan gentry, and then if the Jiangnan gentry repented, Yang Qing would still open the door and let Li Zicheng go.

If you agree, you can't go back.

"I'm not done yet!"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

The civil servants looked at him cautiously.

"Divide the household department, set up a separate tax department, local officials have no right to collect taxes, and the tax department will set up tax bureaus in the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties to be responsible for tax collection, and officials at all levels of the tax department are no longer produced by the imperial examination, but appointed after a separate tax officer examination, the scope of the examination is not limited to household registration, and those who can write and calculate can sign up, and the chief officer of the tax department does not enter the cabinet, but is only responsible for collecting taxes and then handing it over to the local household department."

Yang Qing said.

"What do you need the magistrate to do?"

Xu Shiqi, the secretary of the ministry, said angrily.

If the previous reforms did not actually touch the actual interests of civil officials, this tax department would have simply cut their flesh, and he was cutting the meat with a forty-meter-long broadknife......

All at once it was gone.

Is there no restriction on household registration of the tax officer? Do you want to be a eunuch?

That's just it.

The first director of the Ming Tax Department in Yang Qing's plan has already been born, because of the cabinet system and his special relationship with Princess Kunxing, the eunuch Bingbi has completely become an ornament, so Lao Wang, who has nothing else to do except be in charge of Chongzhen's funeral, is the best candidate for this position. The rest is to send out the eunuchs of the palace as much as possible, after all, these people are useless, Princess Kunxing, a female eunuch, does not like eunuchs to serve, so she can just release these guys who are notorious in scraping money to collect business taxes and mining taxes and the like.

"Do magistrates only collect taxes? This is the way of the sages that Xu Shangshu learned? ”

Yang Qingyi said rhetorically.

"Marquis Zhongyong, this matter can be talked about later."

Gu Xichou hurriedly played a round.

"Yes, at this time, what is more important is how to resist Li Zicheng's southern invasion, the matter of tax collection can be put aside for the time being, and after Li Zicheng is repelled, we will think about it in the long run."

Gao Zhuo said.

"Nope."

Yang Qing said very simply.

"Marquis Zhongyong, Emperor Daxing treats you like a mountain, and Emperor Daxing's bones are not cold, do you want his country to fall into the hands of others?"

Xu Shiqi scolded angrily.

"First, it's the son of Emperor Daxing, why shouldn't this country be handed over to him? Second, I, Yang Qing, can clearly tell you that I am not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I have never thought of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, I have only been loyal to one person from beginning to end, that is, her,"

Yang Qing pointed to Princess Kunxing on the throne in a dumbfounded voice.

"I'm loyal to her alone, as long as her safety can be ensured, and what does it matter to me whether anyone else lives or dies? If it weren't for the fact that she and Emperor Daxing were father and daughter, I would have joined Li Zicheng's team when I was in Beijing, in fact, I had already prepared to go before I met her, and the reason why I fought on the battlefield to protect Emperor Daxing's Nandu was only for her. In the same way, I have given you guys to support the current crisis, and only because this country was given to her by her father, otherwise do you think I am very interested in protecting your good life? I'm more interested in the scene where Li Zicheng came over to clamp you with a stick, and if I took Huang Fei and Cao Youyi's subordinates to clamp you together, I guess they would also cheer.

What do you think you are?

Ethics Guidelines, Constant Protectors, Princesses?

Wrong!

You are fat.

For Li Zicheng is fat, and for me it is the same.

You think you have the qualifications to bargain, but I don't know that I now want to take the hundreds of thousands of hungry wolves under my command to join Li Zicheng's 500,000 hungry wolves to eat you together, and you still tell me the conditions? Don't you understand that now you are begging me and my hundreds of thousands of hungry wolves who could have eaten your flesh to give up such a good deed, go and fight with those 500,000 hungry wolves, and then save your good life.

And what conditions do you want to talk about?

Your naivety makes me want to laugh! ”

Yang Qing said with a cruel smile as he looked at a group of petrified ministers.
