The East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace was supposed to be the place where the emperor would have slept for his wedding, but now it has been changed into a place for dealing with political affairs, and the opposite West Warm Pavilion has been changed into a place for handling military affairs.

There is a map of the Ming Dynasty in the north of the East and West Warm Pavilion, the east is the administrative map, the west is the mountain and river map, all are the Jinyi Wei painters according to the "Guangyu Map", "Ming Mixed One Map" to add. (After the palace selects those who are good at painting into the palace to paint the portrait of the emperor, they will arrange their duties in the brocade guard to enjoy the fortune according to the system.) ）

Zhu Youxiao was looking at the map with a serious imbalance in proportions in the Dongnuan Pavilion, listening to Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, playing the disadvantages of mining taxes and levies, and begging to rectify the rule of officials.

"In the conscription, the fire consumption is even worse, and even two plus three are added, and there are officials who are called heads, and the chief of the interior is called the head, and the grain house is closed, and the internal and external collusion, or the heavy deduction is light, or the amount of the faction is enough, and the first is to resume the levy with other things......"

Zhu Youxiao turned around to look at Zhou Jiamo, the oldest of the six departments, and saw that he was wearing regular clothes, holding the song in his hand and reading vigorously, he interrupted, "Aiqing, what is the grain yield per mu in the world?" ”

Zhou Jiamo's eyes were small, and he always looked drowsy, and when he heard the Son of Heaven ask, he replied, "This varies from place to place, when the year is good, the highest yield of rice per mu in the south of the Yangtze River is three to four stones, but it is usually two stones, and Shanxi and other places are only half a stone per mu." ”

"What is the rated tax rate of the imperial court?"

"535 stones per 100 hectares of official land and 335 stones per 100 hectares of private fields."

Guantian is the ownership of the government, such as the office expenses of the hundred official fields, the prefecture and county school funds, the border gate to raise Liantian, Guanglu Temple and other farms of livestock land, and so on. Private land is private land, and whoever is registered in the name belongs to whomever it is.

Zhu Youxiao calculated, "In this way, it seems that there is no grain levied per mu, and in addition to the regular tax on the field, how much will the increase and fire consumption be increased?" ”

"The minister used to be the head of the household department, as far as the minister knows, the additional names are different in various places, as many as 600 kinds, and there is no custom, and the land is divided into nearly 800 grades, which is extremely complicated, and the specific department Li Shangshu has to be called for consultation. According to the minister's estimate, the various surcharges and fire consumption are roughly the same as the regular tax. ”

Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at the huge territory map, and understood the reason for the emptiness of Taicang, the south side was mainly retained by the guards, and the north side was mainly owned by the vassal king. In addition to corruption, it is also true that the local finances cannot make ends meet, so they asked, "How many civil servants are there in service in the country?" ”

"Jiajing Ye went to redundant staff of 148,000, and this 80,000 is customized, but it can be ...... Now the ministry is making up the shortfall. ”

Zhu Youxiao knew that he wanted to say that the temple did not fill the vacancies in official positions, and he also felt helpless, and did not dare to complain about the ancestors.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao felt that in recent years, he had not thrown out institutions such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Anti-Corruption Bureau to punish corruption, and said, "It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials to ensure that the people are protected. Ai Qing just played the rest, and the Ministry of Officials can implement it according to the proposal. ”

……

After sending Zhou Jiamo away, Wang Chengen quickly turned back to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, Liu Ge Lao asks to see you." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when dealing with a Jia Jichun, he hadn't been idle in the past two days, and he didn't look back and ordered, "Pass." ”

After Liu Yixie, who was close to the warm pavilion, asked Wang Chengen to transfer the fold and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have completed the edict of moving the palace, please visit your Majesty." ”

Hu Guang Dao Yu Shi Jia Jichun listened to the rumors and unveiled the cabinet twice a day, among which there was 'the eighth sister of the emperor of Lingding, who is pitiful in the well; The widow and widow are not dead, and the pheasant is not complained', Zhu Youxiao went to the factory to strictly investigate the source of the rumors, and then Yang Lian knew it, and he went to "Respect the Beginning and End of the Palace Move", saying, "I am afraid that today's doubts will flow for the facts of his year, and I dare not be speechless."

Although Zhu Youxiao published this matter in the "Beijing Daily", he also felt that it was necessary to personally issue an edict to clarify the whole story, so that China and foreign countries could move the palace from beginning to end, and then let the cabinet draft the edict. After reading the excerpt, he said, "The Li family's past evils and beatings on the Holy Mother can be hidden, do not increase public opinion, and the rest is as written by Your Excellency." Your Excellency asked the clerk to pass it on, why do you need to do that. ”

"Your Majesty, Jia Jichun is loyal to Yang Lian, loyal to the monarch is just a different path, and begging is light."

Zhu Youxiao was very angry after hearing this, "Your Excellency is a person who has witnessed the transfer of the palace, why do you accuse the traitor of loyalty?" According to the rumors and rumors, Jia Jichun pretended to be loyal to the king, and he was really trapped in unfilial piety. ”

"Your Majesty, Jia Jichun is recommended by the first assistant, and before the minister enters the palace, the old official of the Fang Pavilion asks for his resignation." Liu Yixiao knew that the Son of Heaven had repeatedly retained Fang Congzhe, and he seemed to value it very much, although he didn't know the reason, he still made a plan, "According to the minister's opinion, it is better to use Jia Jichun as the scepter for the crime of 'arguing about the palace', so that the courtiers can know the merits of the court, and there is no need to depose him." ”

The court staff seems to punish the erring courtiers, showing the inviolability of imperial power, but in fact it is a shortcut for the self-proclaimed courtiers to win the name of the history, they often 'speak out' about committing crimes, and they are proud to be given the court staff.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao will not let him get what he wants, and he disagrees with this kind of 'hearsay and performance' way of muddying public opinion, "Your Excellency's concerns, I have been informed, but Jia Jichun's maverick behavior five times and three times has made me deeply hateful, and he is not worthy of the punishment of the court staff." As for Your Excellency...... I will decree that I will stay. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"This matter is not to be discussed again, I have made up my mind. Another grandson is like a guest into the cabinet, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites should be replaced by a good minister. First go down to the courtiers to discuss and play truthfully. ”

Nowadays, there are court discussions, court discussions, ministerial discussions, etc., as the name suggests, the lower courtiers gather to discuss the court meeting. Major events in the DPRK and China, such as the establishment of the prince, the title of the prince, the knighthood, and the finance, are all the contents of the court.

If Sun Ruyou is transferred before his term of office expires, the vacancies of the Ministry of Rites will be 'promoted', which is called court push. In addition to the court push, the selection of officials also includes ministry push, low-level military attaché camp push, etc.

The officials needed are cabinet scholars, six scholars, governors, and secretaries of various temples, etc., which are led by the ministry and pushed by the nine secretaries; Below the squire and the sacrificial wine, the political envoy, the envoy according to the inspection, the prefect, the ministry will be promoted with the three grades and above, and the low-level officials below do not need to be promoted, and the ministry is directly in charge. Whoever is appointed must make the final decision.

Liu Yixiao felt embarrassed when he couldn't convince him, and after receiving the order, he wanted to withdraw from the Qianqing Palace, but was stopped by the Son of Heaven who was sitting back on the kang.

"Does Your Excellency have an impression of the Beijing Daily?"

Although the current speech is relaxed, it is far from the point of no control, and the demon books of that year, "The Country is Critical" and "Continuing to Worry and Danger", were secretly spread, which aroused the anger of the saints, and the factory guards were ordered to handle the case, which was widely implicated. Although the government and the opposition were shocked, they also knew that it must be the hand of the Son of Heaven and was still on the sidelines.

Liu Yixiao thought for a moment and then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty wants to strictly ban the party?" ”

The "Da Ming Law and Position System" stipulates that if officials in the DPRK make friends and disrupt the government, they will be beheaded, their wives and children will be enslaved, and their property will be transferred to the official ...... If any official or scholar has the ability to speak to the ministers and the United States, he is a traitor... If the minister knows about it, he will be guilty of the same crime.

It can be seen from this that Taizu not only strictly forbids forming a party, but also strictly prohibits sycophants. The fuse of the party struggle was the struggle for the national capital, and the formation of two parties, Donglin and the other parties.

The large situation of Donglin is mainly due to the large number of civil officials in Jiangnan, in addition to the vassals of officials from Shanxi in Shaanxi. However, Donglin is not a political party of later generations, they do not have a party constitution, no directory, and no party dues, and they are a loose community of interests, and its members are difficult to define. Its main symbol is like Jia Jichun, as long as the other party thinks it is right, he opposes it, and he doesn't ask about the merits.

Liu Yixian refers to the article "Lectures in Private Academies = Rebellion" written by Qian Xiangkun, in which he sneered at this kind of behavior of gathering people to criticize current politics and talk in generalities, saying that his eyes are high and low, he can't govern the country when he enters, and he can't get rich when he retreats, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Donglin Academy.

Zhu Youxiao saw that he was not polite and hit the topic, he was first surprised, and then thought that in addition to his own financial resources and manpower, no one in Jingshi has this ability, not to mention, there are many participants in this matter, and it is inevitable that there will be leakers, so he said, "The party ban is clearly stipulated in the "Da Ming Law", and I am just adhering to the ancestral system. This matter will be discussed later, and I would like to ask my opinion on "Sweet Potato and Corn Shu". ”

Strict party prohibition is necessary, if the civil officials are allowed to work together against the imperial power, then Zhu Youxiao will become a god-like ornament. Therefore, the first step he took was to run a newspaper to guide public opinion, and then naturally he strictly forbade the gathering of people to give lectures and stifle all threats to imperial power.

Liu Yixiao saw that the Son of Heaven had changed the topic, and he was helpless, so he asked, "This article was written by Xu Guangqi?" If the corn mentioned in the article can be planted in Northeast China, Henan, Shaanxi and other places with high yield, it can indeed be widely implemented, which can avoid the suffering of grain transportation from the south to the north and save people's labor. ”

"How?"

"Summer tax. The summer tax of the political department is mainly wheat, and Guangxi has more than 1,000 stone every year, which can be replaced by corn. ”

"That's good, the amount of taxes, gold and silver, and other matters, Your Excellency and the household department will discuss it, and let the officials include it in the state and county official assessment."
