After the border troubles in the north subsided, the mustard disease in the south was also thrown by Zhu Houzhao with a large dog skin plaster, and there would be no major problems for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nie Xian is not a simple person, his lip service and kung fu are called third in the Ming officialdom at this time, and absolutely no one dares to call him second. Of course, Xie Qian's position as the first cannot be shaken.

As early as the time of Emperor Hongzhi, Nie Xian came to meet the saint, and Emperor Hongzhi made a rather difficult pair. The people of the Manchu Dynasty hesitated for a long time and couldn't come out, and this young jinshi who was just a beginner in the dragon gate came and was shocked.

Since then, people will remember his quick talent.

So in the south, where Mo Yan's hand can't reach out, and Yang Shen can't use his strength, it's just right for him to go.

More on that later.

A few months have passed in a flash, and everything is developing in a slightly better direction under Zhu Houzhao's control. However, such a development is destined to be too obvious, and even if Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, there will be times when his power is beyond the strength of the entire ruling class.

During this period, the Mo family in Huizhou once transported 8 million taels of silver to the capital in three times. Most of them went into the state treasury, and two million taels were allocated by Zhu Houzhao to the ordnance superintendent.

Although Tang Fei is taking the lead in the development of new firearms, the idea is a little novel, but the background is insufficient, and the capital is still needed to do the big thing, after all, it is normal for R&D and production to not be in the same place.

With this silver, the big guy of the household department smiled like a scoop, at the end of last year, the silver vault of the household department was clean enough to starve rats to death, and at the beginning of summer, he finally had some confidence.

However, Zhu Houzhao directly told the Manchu Dynasty that there was at most one such good thing, although the Mo family was rich enough to rival the country, but Zhu Houzhao did not plan to do such a dry and fishing thing.

He still has a big move to go, and Mo Yanei is the key to it, and he must not be exhausted to death by blood transfusion.

Therefore, it is very embarrassing that the matter of finding silver has to be tossed by the household department itself, and Zhu Houzhao can't help it.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the year, Zhu Houzhao had repeatedly reminded several bigwigs in the cabinet to work taxation, but it was obvious that they had not been able to grasp the key points, and they had not been able to launch a plan that could be implemented after half a year, which made Zhu Houzhao quite disappointed.

That's why there was a matter of transferring money to Beijing and subsidizing the household department again.

After waiting for another month, the cabinet still couldn't come up with a plan that met Zhu Houzhao's expectations, and Zhu Houzhao became completely impatient.

Although the implementation of a policy is certainly not possible without several years of research, but the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have all the human rights used by the people of later generations, the people of the Ming Dynasty have always gritted their teeth to live, and those who can't survive will flee, and the more people who flee will start to rebel.

Therefore, in general, it is very easy to implement a national policy in the Ming Dynasty, and the only resistance comes from the high-level around the emperor, and the bigwigs of the various ministries who hold great power. There are many people with mixed mouths, and it is difficult to adjust the big pot of rice, and there are always people who are not used to eating, and if they don't eat well, they will get angry, and if they get angry, they will hinder the general trend. It's easy to say, but it's actually quite complicated, and the human heart is sometimes not as good as a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs.

At another great court meeting once every ten years, Zhu Houzhao got up from Nie Xiaoqian's warm arm pillow before it was even dawn.

He was already impatient, if he let those people continue to talk about this, he might not have a result when he died of old age.

There has never been a shortage of people with great courage in Huaxia, but there are very few in the court, especially the high-ranking officials at the ministry level, most of them will fall into the problem of being endured at both ends of the head of the rat. Of course, there is one Shousuke who is a pure exception.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Liu Jian, the first assistant, consciously came up with the reform plan drawn up by the cabinet in front of the ministers.

The old man cleared his throat, and his voice was quite loud, obviously this manuscript was still useful in his heart.

"The way to accumulate wealth is nothing more than two points, open source and throttling. In the current situation of my Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to develop the open source way. After the military disaster, the people were all suffering, just to recuperate, and the taxes in the south were already heavy, and the people could not afford it, so I really couldn't think of any good ideas in terms of open source. ”

Zhu Houzhao listened with bated breath for a long time, but when he heard such nonsense, he was greatly disappointed. What is open source is not easy, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, we have a wide range of things, we want mountains and mountains, water and water, and people, why can't we open source?

Liu Jian seemed to be talking about the excitement, he didn't care about the boss's face, and continued: "It's not easy to open source, but there is a lot to be done to reduce expenditure. There are many counties in Damingfu, and there are many redundant officials and redundant politicians. ”

Having said that, it is almost enough to make people understand that he is planning to lay off employees to solve the problem of throttling.

Zhu Hou looked at the old man's serious appearance and wanted to laugh.

Isn't this a smashing of people's jobs? All of you here have been admitted to the single-plank bridge for ten years, and it is easy to get a small errand and climb up, and it is easy to climb up, good guy, you Liu Ge has beaten the original shape in one sentence.

Many people have jobs like killing their parents, and Liu Jian is guilty of public anger this time.

But that's not all, Liu Jian also didn't think about it.

He said very pointedly, Nanjing, like Beijing, also has six departments with inspectors and Dali Temple, which is simply a waste of national resources! Therefore, his suggestion was very simple, that is, to reduce the number of ministerial-level officials in Nanjing.

This is more lacking in morality, after all, the Sixth Department of Nanjing is already a place to drink tea and retire, and the officials who go there to serve either have no way or have experienced a fiasco in political struggle, and they are all people who have a very miserable life.

To tell the truth, Lao Liu is extremely unkind like this.

But this is still not over, after dealing with the lower-level and peace-level officials, Liu Jian's hand stretched out to the palace again.

He made it very clear that there were too many eunuchs in the Great Interior, and His Majesty the Emperor could consider a big layoff, so that all these scourges without descendants would get out of the palace.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. People like eunuchs, who cut their own disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice, really have no need to stay in the palace, and should go to the street to ask for food.

The father-in-law gritted his teeth and cut himself with such a knife, just to enter the palace to mix some food, you Liu Jian waved his pen, and completely denied the pain and courage of being stabbed, who should the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the imperial city go to.

At this point, Zhu Houzhao has already seen that the economic tasks he had assigned before had completely become a political activity of the struggle for power by this time.

Zhu Houzhao remained silent, he wanted to see how those who needed to resist should resist. After all, there are some things he wants to do, a lesson from the past, and a teacher for the future.
