Finally, Lin Yi killed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and gave Xiao Mu a brief explanation of the ancestral motto of his old man, "the heir is not allowed to establish a prime minister in the future, and the subordinates dare to have a concert to invite the establishment, and the civil and military ministers will be impeached immediately and punished with heavy punishment" After a brief explanation, Xiao Mu finally understood why there was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty where he is now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the end, Lin Yi summed up again, "So, although at the end of the current Ming Dynasty, the status of the first assistant of the cabinet is not much different from that of the prime minister, and it is almost the difference between the name, but whether it is you, the emperor, or other courtiers, if you dare to propose the restoration of the prime minister's official position, you will undoubtedly be attacked by everyone else, and there will be no good end." ”

"After listening to you, I seem to feel a little bit of an impression, as if I heard it somewhere......" Xiao Mu thought hard as he told Lin Yi about his "déjà vu" feeling about the story just now.

"That means you're not completely hopeless." Lin Yi also hated iron and steel, and said, "After all, this is all a compulsory content of middle school history, and you should know it, but now you only have a faint impression." Huiyuan University is also a famous school, I really don't know how you got in. ”

"Well, I think I really learned about the history of middle school." After Lin Yi's reminder, Xiao Mu's ethereal impression of "déjà vu" just now gradually became real, and then defended himself, "I studied science in middle school, and I almost didn't study history very hard, and I studied the Department of Economics of Huiyuan University, which has high requirements for mathematical and physical knowledge, and only science students can apply for the exam!" ”

"That's why you're a freak who stupidly calculates probabilities, but then comes up with some bad idea of setting up a western factory and an insider factory!" Lin Yi commented mercilessly again.

"By the way, you just said why you can't set up the position of prime minister, but what does this have to do with me setting up the West Factory and the Insider Factory? Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu, did not have the ancestral motto of 'not allowed to set up a western factory and an insider factory'. Xiao Mu asked another question that left Lin Yi speechless.

"Yes, Ming Taizu doesn't have such an ancestral teaching, but if you really want to set it up, in the end it will not be much different from the consequences of restoring the prime minister." Lin Yi replied very seriously, "Don't forget, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has been in the ground for more than 200 years, how can what he said really be useful?" It wasn't the civil officials of the Manchu dynasty who really played a decisive role? If you really want to set up the West Factory and the Insider Factory, which were originally used to supervise hundreds of officials, how could these officials of the current dynasty let you get your wish? ”

"If you just said that? Why bother to pull out the matter of a prime minister, so that I didn't understand it for a long time. Xiao Mu understood what Lin Yi meant, and then began to complain in a low voice again, "Now I understand that setting up the West Factory and the Insider Factory will damage the interests of the officials, and they will definitely do everything possible to obstruct it, if I insist on my opinion, then no one in the Manchu Dynasty will have peace of mind to do things, and they will all come to argue about this." ”

"That's not all!" Lin Yi continued, "Don't forget, I just said that you inherited Emperor Chongzhen's killing of Wei Zhongxian and suppressed the political capital of the factory guard, so you can leave a 'wise' image of a virtuous monarch in the hearts of the courtiers and the people. But if you really set up institutions like the West Factory and the Insider Factory, then the whole capital will definitely know about it the next day, and then you, the 'Shengming' Son of Heaven, will become an unscrupulous and dumb king who does not distinguish between right and wrong and listens to slander! Didn't you keep saying that you would make sure that Emperor Chongzhen's reputation would not be damaged? ”

"Well, you have a point." - Xiao Mu said something again I don't know how many times I said tonight, "Emperor Chongzhen's reputation naturally cannot be damaged in any way. ”

"And that's not all!" Lin Yi continued, "Moreover, whether it is the East Factory, or the West Factory or the Insider Factory you want to set up, there is no difference in their essence, and the personnel in them are all similar eunuchs. The local officials in Zhejiang really have the phenomenon of greedy ink, and if they want to pull the people who come to supervise into the water, there is no essential difference in these principles, no matter how heavy you arrange, as long as those officials who are greedy for ink can break through one heavy, the remaining ones, you can completely draw a scoop according to the gourd, according to the same method, one by one. ”

"So, although the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Insider Factory seem to be triple insurance, they can only be counted as one insurance?" Xiao Mu asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's like wrapping fire in paper, using one layer of paper and three layers of paper, the same paper, what is the essential difference?" Lin Yi replied very incisively.

"Well, in fact, if you think about it carefully, after the West Factory and the Insider Factory, you can set up other so-and-so factories to monitor them, so it becomes a game of 'infinite scarcity for children and grandchildren', and it makes no sense." Xiao Mu actually said a very incisive sentence very rarely, and he was able to use allusions such as "children and grandchildren are infinitely scarce", which even caught Lin Yi off guard.

"Yes, that's what it means, the existing Yushi, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang represent three different characters, if your courtiers and slaves are really still conscience-minded at the moment, this triple insurance can play its due role, but if this triple insurance fails to stop the local officials in Zhejiang from greedy for ink, then it makes no sense to continue to add more layers." Lin Ye finally concluded.

"Okay!" The current questions were answered, Xiao Mu was also very relaxed, and then yawned again, "Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Lai Zongdao to send an urgent delivery to Xiong Wencan in the name of the cabinet, and ask him to start recruiting Zheng Zhilong as soon as possible; Then it was announced that half of the disaster relief silver would be shipped to Zhejiang for disaster relief; Then select some officials who are honest and upright to go to Zhejiang to supervise the use of disaster relief silver. Then I secretly sent Jinyiwei and people from Dongchang to secretly supervise. ”

"Well, yes, I didn't expect that after all that, you can still remember what you are going to do tomorrow, and there is nothing missing." Lin Yi mocked in a complimenting tone, "Since you know what to do, hurry up and go back and forth, I'm going to sleep too......"
