89 First Cabinet Meeting
"I also have a few proposals, first, abolish the system of internal servants and external supervision, I am not disdainful of the internal servants, many of them are still loyal, when the city of Beijing was broken, there were thousands of eunuchs with soldiers and thieves to fight and martyrdom, these people are also worthy of respect, but most of them are ignorant of soldiers and politics, more for the purpose of involvement, the court uses people frankly, even if they want to supervise, they must use those insiders; The second is to streamline the organization, such as Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple, in fact, many people are idle, and some people have nothing to do with the court's money, isn't this a waste of the court's food? A few idle jobs can be slightly eliminated; If we can't properly resettle them, we may cause the problem of displaced people, so I suggest that these people be properly resettled, and they should be formed into teams and placed in sparsely populated places, and those who are willing to settle here for a long time will be divided into land, and those who are not willing to live for a long time and want to return to their hometowns in the future should be resettled in Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake, Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake and other places, and the paddy fields will be reclaimed, and people will be sent to take charge of them, and the government will collect taxes and collect taxes after the recovery of the north in the future, they can return to their place of origin; The fourth is the nobles, there are a lot of nobles in the south, with all due respect, these people take the court's fortunes, what are they doing, lingering on the banks of Qinhuai, without any ambition to serve the country, marrying a concubine, spending a lot of money, the country is in trouble, no one has contributed a penny, I mean these people must be dealt with, I am ready to suggest to the emperor that all the nobles in Jiangnan be organized, form a team of soldiers and horses, except for the prince, everyone who is under the age of eighteen or fifty must enlist in the army, and those who are not willing to serve the country, Deprive them of their titles and previous rewards, let them be self-reliant, the prince's income also needs to be reduced, the court now has too many places to use money, and the emperor doesn't even have so much money to build a palace, should they be clothed and fed? ”
Eunuchs, court officials, homeless people, honorable nobles, Cao Bianjiao put forward four suggestions at once, all of which are acupuncture and disadvantages, but it is not so easy to implement, especially Xungui, these people are all connected with the court officials, not just a simple noble, but Cao Bianjiao is determined to move them, no matter how strong the resistance is, he doesn't care.
"The general said that these problems, in fact, we don't know, but they are inextricably linked, but I'm afraid it's not easy to do, isn't it the same?" Shi Kefa also suggested that it is not so simple to implement so many new policies at once.
"I think the affairs of the displaced people must be contacted as soon as possible, and the matter of the internal servants, it is not a difficult matter, after all, there are so many internal servants in Nanjing, not like Beijing, this reduction of a few idle positions, it is not a big problem, but it is a noble matter, it is not easy to deal with, if the general is determined to do it, you need to withstand the pressure of all parties, and then it is inevitable that someone will say that the general is in charge of power or something?" Yuan Jixian also analyzed it simply.
"Haha...... Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask, are you cabinet scholars, how do you do things, so timid, if you are not willing to nominate you, then I Cao Bianjiao alone to play to the emperor is, as long as you don't be scolded as a corpse vegetarian in the future! ”
"I'm not afraid, I'm willing to play together!" Zhang Shenyan also Huo Ran got up, Cao Bianjiao's words made him very unconvinced, Cao Bianjiao is not afraid of pressure, what does he have to worry about.
"Shousuke, what do you do?" Cao Bianjiao looked at Shi Kefa, his attitude was very crucial, no matter what, he was the first assistant of the cabinet, if he, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not approve, this weight would be discounted.
"Let's join forces!" After thinking about it again, Shi Kefa finally nodded, he is like this, Cao Bianjiao is also helpless, always wavering, and even a little cowardly, if it weren't for Shi Kefa's fierceness, Cao Bianjiao would not have recommended him as the first auxiliary minister.
Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa agreed, Yuan Jixian and He Wusu also responded, and the five cabinet ministers unanimously passed, even if these things were determined, Zhang Shenyan went back to draft the regulations, and then discussed it again, and then played the emperor Zhu Seal and issued it for implementation.
"The candidates for the six books, why don't we go back and draw up a list, and then hand it over to the emperor to decide, if we discuss here, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain, what do you think?"
"So be it! It's not too early, so let's disperse first! Shi Kefa is not interested in Cao Bianjiao's proposal, what about their respective proposals, in the end, I am afraid that Cao Bianjiao's list is the final list, and it is nothing more than a waste of time to discuss it, Cao Bianjiao doesn't want to show his hole cards, and they don't want to either.
The first meeting of the cabinet is also over, this time the change of the court situation, there is no doubt that Cao Bianjiao is the biggest winner, fame and fortune, provoking people's eyes, and they can only be blushing, because the risks taken here are also huge, just imagine, if Cao Bianjiao had an accident when rescuing King Yong and King Ding, what would be the result, I am afraid that at this moment it is already the neck of the neck, how can there be a result of one person under ten thousand people.
"Kenyuki, what do you think of what the general said today?" After the meeting, Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa came together, the two of them are old acquaintances, with similar temperaments, and there are a lot of contacts on weekdays, Shi Kefa entered the cabinet, but it is a reasonable thing, Zhang Shenyan didn't expect that he would enter the cabinet, he knew that behind this must be the meaning of Cao Bianjiao, and He Wuyu, Ping Suli has always been low-key, I didn't expect him to also enter the cabinet, this cabinet is really not Cao Bianjiao's private cabinet, at least the cabinet is unmanned, except for Yuan Jixian, the rest of the people are counted as Donglin party, Cao Bianjiao's move can be regarded as selfless and fair.
In the face of Zhang Shenyan's words, Shi Kefa also smiled and said: "Personally, I actually admire the general, he has a frank temperament, a clear distinction between public and private, the people recommended by the general are all virtuous and square, and they are not small people, Huang Shijun Huang Ge Lao, Huang Dao Zhou Huang, they serve as the emperor's lecturers, this is a public act, as far as I know, this time there are not many northern officials who went south with the general, they are all dependent on the general, and the general can arrange them into the cabinet, but no, It can be seen that the general still has a pole in his heart, and he reads the justice of the court, but there are some things, and we are helpless when we are in it! ”
"Yes! But today's Qian Qianyi's behavior is quite strange, it stands to reason that ......"
"There's nothing strange about it, it's just driven by interests, he knows that the general is in the limelight now, how can he offend the general, Donglin Party, Donglin Party, sad! Let's learn more from the general, and always keep a shot in my heart, don't lose fairness! Shi Kefa also sighed helplessly, he was familiar with the officialdom of Nanjing, and when he thought of the sluggish atmosphere, he really hoped that Cao Bianjiao could revitalize.
