The Ming Dynasty had a very strange political department, that is, the mine supervisor, except for Taizu and Chengzu, two absolute fierce men, which was a stubborn problem that all emperors could not bypass.

The ministers of the imperial court have always had a clear attitude towards the mine supervisors, and the sea ban can still be discussed, even if you are a field, a whip law or even the integration of officials and businessmen to pay taxes, at least there is a discussion, only the mine supervisor, there is absolutely no room for negotiation, whoever touches it will die!

The so-called mine supervisor is to collect taxes on minerals across the country, and to supervise and manage minerals, there are actually very few minerals in the Ming Dynasty, except for gold, silver and copper, which can be used as money when dug out, there is only iron ore, and the rest such as coal mines, manganese ore, etc., plus a piece is a leader.

This is a national strategic material!! It's really hard to imagine that this kind of national-level strategic material is not allowed to be managed by the state? What a joke! According to the development of history, Huang Taiji will be able to cast cannons next year, where did the iron in his hand come from?

However, the Ming Dynasty is so strange, such a thing of life and death in the country is not in the hands of the imperial court, and even taxes have nothing to do with the imperial court, whoever digs it out is who's, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court?

Not to mention the feudal society, the modern society has not heard of any country that ignores minerals and does not manage them at all.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were poor to death, but the mine supervisor couldn't send any children, every time the emperor mentioned it, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not need to rehearse, and it must be a unified voice with a sentence that the Son of Heaven cannot compete with the people for profit.

What kind of mineral profit has a hairy relationship with ordinary people? Where is this competing with the people for profit, it is clearly competing with them for profit!

Why? Do you need to ask, these minerals are all in the names of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the special Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi built a golden house for Liu Ru to hide the Jiaojiao Qianyun Building, I don't know how many daughters I envy, and I actually left the so-called love story to this old and unscrupulous, so no one has ever thought about where the silver for this Qianyun Building came from?

Although Chongzhen is the emperor, a rare Qiangang in the entire Ming Dynasty, but hearing Xun Yu mention the word mine supervisor still has a pain in his brain, his palms are also slightly sweating, his heartbeat is accelerating, and his mouth is bitter.

This is really not a joke, it is not that there is no Ming Dynasty emperor in history who has set up this thing, not to mention it far away, just say that his brother Emperor Tianqi, the carpenter emperor in the history books has been scolded as a dog's brain, but Tianqi has set up a mine supervisor, and the supervisor is the notorious Wei Zhongxian.

In addition to Chengzu and Taizu, there are only two emperors who insist on setting up mine supervisors and never compromise, namely Tianqi and Zhengde, (the rest such as the late Wanli period are set up to stop for a while) It is these two emperors who are incompatible with civil officials, and they are all famous faint monarchs in history, and finally... In his twenties, he hung up inexplicably.

The Ming Dynasty did not rebel, but to say that the minister really has no way to deal with the emperor, Chongzhen was the first to believe it, he is now in good health, but if you learn from his brother... Well, who knows when it's going to catch a cold.

Chongzhen knows that the mine supervisor is a thing, except for him nodding and sending the eunuch to do it, otherwise it is absolutely impossible, Xun Yu will naturally become the main target of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military artillery, and he, the emperor, is not much stronger, and if he is not good, he will change from the so-called master of Zhongxing to a faint monarch.

After rubbing his temples for a long time, Chongzhen asked a more practical question, "How to stir up a civil uprising?" ”

Xun Yu was also not ambiguous, and said directly, "The people in the northwest want to be killed, and the miners are lenient?" ”

This Xun Yu really deserves to be a figure who stabilized the world in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, and his courage to do things is far from being comparable to these peaceful civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the meaning of the people is very clear, if the court has no money, the northwest will be a popular uprising, and if you collect money, the miners will be a civil uprising, anyway, they are all popular uprisings, of course, you will find a small disaster.

How many miners are there, a big mine, there are only 100,000 people in the mining area, no matter how much you oppose it, you can't go against the country, the northwest is different, it's not just a matter of millions of victims, but also soldiers! Hungry and screaming, if you don't give food, you will have to rob the elite Western Army yourself!

Qin Hao spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, after all, the benefits of the mine prison outweigh the disadvantages, but I suggest that it is better not to use eunuchs, not to mention the contradictions between the inner court and the outer court, and it is easy to make Your Majesty infamy."

Although the eunuchs are loyal, after all, most of them still have some problems in their hearts, and the means of collecting money are not as clever as civil officials, and their abilities are somewhat weak, and they are full of holes in their work, and they are easy to be caught. ”

"Except for the eunuchs, where do you ask me to find people? Those who do this will inevitably be pointed out by their colleagues, and even in the future, it will be easy to leave a stench for 10,000 years, the most important thing is that they can't have any interests with the Donglin Party, do you really want to have such a person, do you think the imperial brother is willing to use a group of eunuchs? ”

"If you are short of talents, you are looking for a headhunter, don't I just do this? Right.... Well, I can't figure out who to turn to for a while. ”

Xun Yu said: "I know that there is someone who can do this, but I don't know if you can poach this person." ”

"Oh? Who, if you are targeted to poach, the headhunter will have to add money. ”

"Jia Xu, I have been with his colleagues for more than ten years, I know him too well, I can let him concurrently serve as the head of the household department, enter the cabinet as my deputy, and be in charge of the mine supervisor, this person is the best at understanding people's hearts, proficient in self-protection, but he doesn't care much about his reputation, and is the most suitable to fight with the Donglin Party, of course, we can't do this without the full support of His Majesty."

Qin Hao patted his thigh and said, "Okay! Jia Xu is suitable, how about Your Majesty just him, how can such a good person get a thousand gold coins, because it is a directional poaching, according to the rules of headhunting, how can it be doubled, that is, two thousand.

In addition, do you need to rectify the palace guards when you do such a big thing, you don't want to die in confusion for no reason, those Donglin Party are not fuel-efficient lamps, so-so dig you a personal guard leader.

In addition, we can't scold the war without the imperial history in our hands, do we have to dig a troll for you, Jinyiwei and Dongchang also have to act quickly, Gonggong Cao is loyal enough, but his ability may be a little weak, do you have to match him with a Jinyi Wei commander as a deputy?

Also,This kind of thing, you have to match the two waiters in the household department.,Well... Miscellaneous will give you a package price, five thousand gold coins, how. ”

Chongzhen spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "I will give you 5,000 now, and you can collect my body tomorrow, and I am afraid that the name of the Ming Dynasty will not be saved." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, such a big thing, it will take a few months to prepare, at that time Xun Yu passed the probationary period, I have a hunch that it is very likely to be the same as Gongsun Zhan, and it will also make you a lot of money, will you give it to me if you are richer, besides, what do we have to do with you, can I ask you for the full amount?" I can't cut off your cooking. ”

"Okay, then let's wait for Xun Aiqing to come back."

"Come back? Are you going to send him away? ”

"Of course, after today, Xun Yu is probably going to be pointed out by Qianfu, let's go out to hide from the limelight for the time being, it just happens that there is a great drought in the northwest, and I still have a number of officials below, how much of this million stone grain can be sent to the victims, I really don't know the bottom in my heart, so let Xun Aiqing go and distribute food."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, if any of these grains are embezzled, the minister is willing to be killed."
