Chapter 105 Program Loopholes
Wen Tiren and they joined forces to come naturally for the silver, yesterday Dongchang Jinyiwei once again teamed up to copy more than a dozen Buddhist temples in the capital, just gold and silver pulled several carts, not to mention real estate such as land deeds.
Wang Chengen's side also acted quickly, Yang Su was an honest man who had never seen the world, hundreds of officials squeezed out more than two million taels, according to their relaxed and happy appearance, it was undoubtedly that Yang Su's asking price was too low.
The silver has just been put into the treasury in the early hours of this morning, and now the cabinet ministers have gathered to come, Yang Su was going to play tricks and directly close the door, he will definitely not allocate a cent of the silver to this group of officials, it is a meat bun beating a dog, even if he is training soldiers, he is also training the forbidden army, not training warlords for the provinces. Now it seems that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, but there are only tens of thousands of people under the command of Yang Su, and it has long been impossible to guarantee the military suppression of the local government by the central government.
But with Concubine Liu's advice and Zhang Yan's cold eyes, Yang Su finally decided to meet these ministers.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!" Hou Sui, the head of the household, took the lead in playing.
"Accurate!" Yang Su stood on the golden platform with the dragon chair in his voice, majestic.
"The minister got the news last night, and heard that the emperor was going to carry out Yang Sichang's strategy of four positive six corners and ten nets, and the minister did not dare to slack off and lead his officials to calculate all night, and finally found that Yang Sichang's plan had a huge loophole!" Hou Sui said excitedly.
"Oh, what's the loophole!" Yang Su asked curiously.
"The combat power of the military household is underground, and Yang Sichang wants to retrain the elite soldiers, so naturally he can no longer choose from the military household, but the recruitment of soldiers requires a settlement fee, but Yang Sichang did not take it into account, recruiting 200,000 soldiers, and the settlement fee varies depending on the situation of each province, but it also needs at least three million taels! The amount of money that Yang Sichang had raised before was too small to be enough. If the emperor wants to implement Yang Sichang's policy, he still wants to increase his salary! Hou Sui swore to correct the way.
"In other words, it takes 10.8 million taels to be enough?" Yang Su said expressionlessly.
"That's true according to the plan, but the minister can't guarantee that it is completely sufficient now, after all, it is normal to have some losses!" Hou Sui was very skilled in prevarication.
Yang Su neither vetoed nor agreed, and did not speak.
Wen Zhenmeng finally couldn't help it: "The emperor's military situation is urgent, although Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiang have been transferred to Shaanxi to suppress thieves, but it is difficult to extinguish the fire in the far water, I am worried that once Xi'an is lost, millions of rogue robbers will come out of Shaanxi to loot, and it will be too late to recruit troops to defend when the time comes, please ask the emperor to issue an order immediately, and make preparations in advance!" ”
"Okay, I'll make an order now." Yang Su nodded and instructed Wang Chengen: "Chengen, go to the inner treasury to allocate silver, remember that the military situation is urgent, and it is urgent to do so, your actions must be fast, and you must not slack off in the slightest, and you will send it to the household department when you order all the silver taels!" ”
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen saluted solemnly.
The ministers looked at each other and were happy in their hearts, and the opportunity to make money had come.
"The emperor has something to do." The king of the Ministry of Shangshu should Xiong Qi played.
"Exactly." Yang Su agreed.
"The governor of Shaanxi died in battle while in office, please ask the emperor to appoint a new governor!" Wang Yingxiong asked.
"Is there anyone in the ministry and the cabinet to recommend?" Yang Su asked lightly.
Wang Yingxiong, Wen Tiren and others all bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Humph!" Yang Su snorted dissatisfiedly, Shaanxi is a flood and locust plague every year, and it is the hardest hit area of Liukou, it has been just a few years to kill several governors and ministers, so that now the ministers of the court are unwilling to patrol Shaanxi, although Yang Su does not go to the court, but he knows all about these situations, but the ministers do not know that now the drought and flood have been solved by him, and the local clans in Shaanxi have been swept away, it is the time for great governance!
"In this case, I decided to select capable people from among the low-level officials, and I decided to promote Sun Chuanting to the right side of the military department and the right to serve as the governor of Shaanxi for me. Let's make a decree for the Cabinet! Yang Su's face was neither happy nor sad, and he said indifferently.
Wen Tiren and the others glanced at each other, they couldn't remember who this Sun Chuanting was, it was difficult to speak for a while, although the governor of Shaanxi was a dead place, they were not willing to let the emperor arrange a person casually.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are stupid and don't know what position this Sun Chuanting has?" Wang Yingxiong asked stubbornly.
"In the third year of the Apocalypse, he served as Ji Xunlangzhong, and later abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship. I heard Cheng'en mention that he was quite talented and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, so I prepared to make him governor of Shaanxi. Yang Su explained casually, and suddenly classified Sun Chuanting under the name of the eunuch party.
Wang Chengen was originally bent down and waited with his head down, but when he heard this, his head was lowered! When did he tell the emperor about Sun Chuanting?
The eunuch recommended by Wang Chengen! Wen Tiren's eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and he hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, Shaanxi is troubled every year, and there are more rogue gangsters, and non-shrewd and capable ministers can't be controlled, Sun Chuanting was just a Ji Xun Lang before, and he abandoned the official for 12 years, and the emperor's promotion to the third level suddenly put him in a heavy position, and the ministers thought it was inappropriate, please think twice about it!" ”
"Wen Shoufu is reasonable, then the post of governor of Shaanxi will be selected by Wen Shoufu as a minister!" Yang Su nodded and resolutely agreed.
Wen Tiren was dumbfounded, who could he send! If someone is willing to go, they won't let Yang Su personally order the general, so he won't be that villain! And whoever recommends it is responsible, and it is no problem for him to forcibly push a person to take office and send him to death, but the key thing is that after that person dies if he does not do his job well, he, the recommender, still has to bear the responsibility, so everyone decided to throw this problem to the emperor.
"Since the emperor is recommended by the prince, there must be something extraordinary, and the minister means that the emperor should not draw conclusions immediately, but make a decision after meeting Sun Chuanting first!" Wen Tiren immediately changed his words with a straight face, and he didn't care that Sun Chuanting was a eunuch.
"What do you think?" Yang Su didn't pursue it and asked directly to the ministers.
"Wen Shoufu is reasonable, please summon Sun Chuanting before making a decision!" The ministers hurriedly reconsidered.
"What else do you have?" Yang Su asked impatiently.
"There is another matter for the emperor to ask the emperor to make it clear, those officials who have paid the money for the crime have been released from prison yesterday, but the original position has been filled, please ask the emperor to order the officials to rearrange their posts!" Wen Zhenmeng cares about his younger brother.
"Reassignment? Why did Master Wen say this? Yang Su asked with a shocked expression.
Wen Zhenmeng was stunned in his heart, and secretly said that the emperor didn't want to play tricks, and hurriedly said: "The emperor said before that he would hand over the guilty money to avoid punishment, but now that they are innocent, shouldn't they rearrange the positions of the officials?" ”
"Of course not, what I said is to be exempted from punishment, but they are still offenders, and I also have a will when I am investigated and punished, and I will be removed from my position as soon as I am investigated and punished, and I will never be hired! Such black sheep, it is a great grace for me to let them give money to exonerate their crimes, and Lord Wen still wants them to continue to serve as the common people, isn't he trying to deceive me? Yang Su said loudly.
Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng looked at Yang Su in shock, if they didn't understand that they were played by Yang Su's word games, they would be really stupid.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Wen Zhenmeng wanted to continue arguing, but was interrupted by Wen Tiren's words.
"The emperor is wise, it is true that these prisoners can no longer be allowed to continue to serve, Lord Wen, do you want to shield those officials?" Wen Tiren looked at Wen Zhenmeng with gloomy eyes and asked.
"Wen Tiren, you are talking nonsense, when will Wen cover up the criminal!" Wen Zhenmeng said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wen just thinks that although those officials have made small mistakes, they are also rare talents in my Ming Dynasty, and if they are all removed from their positions at once, I am afraid it will cause a shock in the officialdom!" Qian Shisheng hurriedly explained.
"Wen Shoufu, have the previous positions of those prisoners been filled by someone in the cabinet?" Yang Su asked Wen Tiren.
"Back to the emperor, all arrangements have been made, I am full of talents, I don't need these criminals to make up for the number at all, Lord Wen is too worried!" Wen Tiren continued to sit on the matter.
Those vacant positions are all promoted officials of his party, and Wen Tiren will not spit out when he eats the meat in his stomach, not to mention that it is beneficial and harmless to kill a group of people from the Donglin Party, and of course he will vigorously support it.
"Good!" Yang Su nodded.
"I have been feeling cold recently, and the imperial doctor advised me that I can't take care of political affairs for a long time, and the state affairs will be handed over to you to deal with me, you are all my humerus, I am the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, don't let me down!" Yang Su yawned and left with Wang Chengen, and Wen Zhenmeng and the others could only salute helplessly.
