Zhu Youxiao stopped Sun and Huang, waved his hand and said, "The king is not selfish, the two Aiqing should stay and help me think about it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The two glanced at each other, knowing that 'the king is not selfish' comes from the "Historical Records of Filial Piety", which means that the Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs and is not selfish, which is what Sun Chengzong taught when he spoke, and his heart was a little touched, so he handed hands in front of his abdomen and retreated to the side of the palace to stand solemnly.

After Sun Yuanhua entered the hall and bowed, he presented the two recitals written by Xu Guangqi, and Zhu Youxiao handed the excerpts to Sun and Huang after reading them, "It has been five months since the Hongyi cannon was such a big thing, but there was no mention of it in Xu Honggang's previous recitals, but why?" ”

After Huang Jiashan saw the recital, he reminded Zhu Youxiao from the perspective he thought of, "Xu Honggang has successively served as the criminal officer section to the matter, the capital to the matter, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, the right and left of the Tongzheng Division, the Shuntianfu Yin, and the governor of Jiangxi. The first emperor had changed him to the assistant director of the military department, the Beijing battalion Rong Zheng, and the Beijing battalion drill, but he had received his resignation two days ago and insisted on resigning from his new life. ”

Zhu Youxiao heard what Huang Jiashan meant, and it can be seen from Xu Honggang's resume that he at least understands the way of being an official, otherwise he would not have made steady progress all the way, and his resignation was just a formality.

After the disaster in the palace last month, Hui Shiyang Zeng said three things in the left of the engineering department: cutting the knight reward, opening the party ban, and repairing the military equipment.

Huang Jiashan looked at Hui Shi Yang Zuoshu, who was sent to the Ministry of War, and knew that this was by no means his personal opinion, but on behalf of a group of people, and continued, "Your Majesty, no matter in ancient times, in September alone, Xu Honggang reported to the Ministry of War, and the officers and soldiers captured five Japanese heads and 40 captured alive in the outer ocean of Guangao Black Pig, and the rest fell into the sea, and a total of four ships were obtained. Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that he is actually a person who is slick and slick. ”

Although Zhu Youxiao has a mustard in his heart, he has not yet reached the point where he has made a conclusion about Xu Honggang just by virtue of the Feng Xianguan's performance, "What does Master Sun think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xu Honggang may have been reported and lost is unknown, this matter can be shelved first." Sun Chengzong and Xu Honggang don't know each other as well as Huang Jiashan, but are more interested in the Hongyi cannon, "Xu Guangqi asked the cannons to be transported to Liaodong, and the ministers thought so." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, Xu Guangqi did not directly ask Sun Yuanhua to go, but praised him fiercely, saying that he knew firearms well and built Western forts without permission, and his meaning was self-evident. After letting Sun Yuanhua wait outside the palace, he got up and left the throne and paced in the hall to think.

At present, the people that Zhu Youxiao fancied have been sent, Yuan Keli went to Shanghai, Xu Guangqi went to Henan, and Xiong Tingbi insisted in Liaodong although he did not meet; The internal officials have their own deacons, and they are also busy organizing production. The artillery is a small matter, but it also requires a capable person to go, if only Sun Yuanhua is sent, it may be difficult to convince the public.

Zhu Youxiao finally thought of a person, so he said to Wang Chengen, "The Fu Si of Chuannan Town commands Tian Ergeng. ”

The original history of Zhongtian Ergeng is the son of Shangshu Tianle of the Ministry of War in Wanli Shi, and the head of the five biaos of the eunuch party, he can finally take charge of the Jinyi Guard, his ability is certainly undoubted, it is rumored that he is cunning and vicious. Now he has no intersection with Wei Jinzhong, why can't he use it for himself, just to use this matter to test his ability and loyalty.

(Note: Emperor Mingshen Zongxian Record Volume 338, August 27 of Wanli, Yiyou, Shangshu Tian Lejia of the Ministry of War, Yang Chaodong, the chief of Qiu Bo, sent people to secretly bribe, exposed Lezi Ergeng, arrested his people and sent them to the county, Chi Bai Le, music to smell, and begged to reprimand.) ）

After Wang Chengen went, he walked to Huang Jiashan and asked, "Sun Yuanhua is only a person, and it is not like Mao Yuanyi can be used to enter the country's prison, does Aiqing have an idea?" ”

"There is a shortage in the Department of Military Affairs, but it can be appointed as a secretary, and it is not against the system."

The Department of Military Affairs, similar to an office clerk, is in charge of miscellaneous affairs such as the receipt, receiving, and keeping of documents of the Yamen. The head of the secretary office is the fifth product Langzhong, and the secretary is only from the ninth product.

Zhu Youxiao also felt that the sesame junior official should not attract too much opposition, so he nodded and said, "Then follow the secretary's proposal and let him make the trip as soon as possible." After a pause, he continued, "The post delivery is the ministry of the Ministry of War, whether what Xu Guangqi said is true. ”

The military department is in charge of the selection and conciseness of the military and military guards in the world, and the politics of the town, the herdsman, and the post is set up due to the needs of the military and government, so the post is indeed the ministry of the military department. In essence, the buildings were built by the Ministry of Works, the officials were selected by the Ministry of Rites, the seals were cast by the Ministry of Rites, and the Supervision was carried out by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and each ministry was responsible.

Huang Jiashan didn't make excuses when he heard this, and knelt down and said, "The minister is derelict in his duties, and the military department has repeatedly ordered it, but he has repeatedly banned it without permission, please reprimand your majesty." ”

"Let's be flat." Zhu Youxiao knew that the punishment would not help, "What is the reason for Xu Guangqi's fire card in the Ministry of Troops?" ”

Huang Jiashan got up and explained in detail the fire card, Kanhe and other items, in other words, this is a pass, with the fire card and so on, you can stay at the post station along the way. Xu Guangqi said that everything can only be a symptom, and to change the current situation of fatigue, we must start from the root.

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the throne, combined with the experience of later generations, and scribbled along the line of thought on the paper, and finally found that it was completely possible to divide the post station.

First of all, the accommodation part can be contracted by Yicheng or local wealthy businessmen, and the implementation of payment first and then reimbursement; The location of the post station is different, the bitterness and happiness are uneven, and the operating efficiency is poor, and the rich post station can be taxed to subsidize the remote post station.

Secondly, the express delivery shops that were merged into the post station were only responsible for the delivery of official documents and letters, and were still operated by the imperial court with silver.

Completely abolishing the privilege system of fire cards and conforming to it, and letting the post station contract to make it commercialized and self-financed, can not only mobilize enthusiasm, but also eventually return the power to Yousi. Some companies formulate relevant reimbursement rules and undertake them, and if officials reimburse reimbursements indiscriminately, it is a more serious act of corruption. In this way, the post station can continue to exist and play its role as a transit.

After listening to the Son of Heaven's thoughts, Huang Jiashan felt that this could reduce the burden on the military department and the state capital and county to a certain extent, and would not eliminate chaos. And how much the officials can be reimbursed when they return to their respective government offices depends on the wealth of the yamen. As for corruption, it is a companion of power, and successive dynasties have not been able to eradicate it.

Sun Chengzong felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the amount of money and food in the post station is different, and the water and drought are uneven, such as the shortage of Jintai and Hengshan in the north straight, and people may scramble; But if Sanchuan and Zhengping are all remote and remote places, if they do the same, I am afraid that no one will respond. ”

Zhu Youxiao knew that it was human nature to pick fat and thin, but he did not change his original intention, and said, "Regardless of the lack of fat and thin, the post is still sent by the state and county, which is not to make the post station fat, but to reduce the burden of the court and prevent past officials from taking the post without permission." Huang Aiqing will first implement it according to this time, and if there are difficulties, it will be. ”

"Obey." Huang Jiashan muttered to himself in his heart, it seems that he is also going to be impeached by the official, after all, this will touch the private interests of the official. So, he bowed down and said yes, and then took Sun Yuanhua, who was outside the hall, to retire and leave the Heart Cultivation Palace.
