Chapter Thirty-Eight: Xiaotian's Excerpt (II)
In fact, the history of the Jiajing Dynasty is polarized, in the final analysis, there is no money to make trouble, during this period, the Ming Dynasty basically suffered a natural disaster every two or three years, either no rain or always rain, the border is unstable, the south is noisy, the number of royal families is huge, every year to consume a lot of wealth, can occupy more than 30% of the total income, the reason why the corruption is particularly serious is actually a large part of the composition is because the officials can not come out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiajing and the cabinet demolished the east wall to make up the west wall barely maintained, but they are still stretched.
Because of this, Xiaotian's performance can be so valued, and Jiajing's throttling has been done to the extreme, as long as there is an open source project, everyone is like a hungry wolf.
Jiajing opened his mouth and said, "The matter of silk is so decided, go back to Huang Jin, you follow, let this kid start preparing for silver, now let's talk about his opening of the warehouse."
None of the people who can do this position are stupid, on the surface, they just want to buy some daily necessities, but in essence, this is tearing the sea ban.
Many historians of later generations attributed the Ming Dynasty's failure to open the sea ban to the ancestral system and the neglect of the sea, in fact, this reason is untenable, Zhu Yuanzhang set the ancestral system more, and even the Ming Dynasty has not seen how to implement it in later generations. As for ignoring the sea, it is even more nonsense, although it is not as important as Western countries, but the annual income of several million taels is still stable, which is not a figure that can be ignored.
To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of interests, Yongle Dynasty Zheng He brought back a lot of wealth from the West, but this wealth is all in the Ouchi, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court.
The opening of the sea is nothing more than shipments and purchases, and the current situation is that the purchase is controlled by the major wealthy families in the southeast, and most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are the spokesmen of the wealthy families in the southeast. The risk of facing the Japanese invaders is too great, and the sailors of the Ming Dynasty can't beat the Japanese at sea, and they monopolize all the trade routes, so you are equivalent to a capital enemy.
Therefore, opening the sea is equivalent to offending the wealthy families in the southeast, and the enemy of the Japanese invaders, and the court itself can not afford much benefit, of course, such a policy must be abolished, unless it can reproduce an invincible team of the Yongle Dynasty, otherwise it is meaningless, because the sea route is not in the hands of the imperial court.
But now the rise of Xiaotian has made the emperor and these ministers a little more active. The imperial court spends money everywhere, and even the emperor doesn't have the money to repair the palace, of course, there is no money to build a fleet, but Xiaotian's fleet has not cost the imperial court a penny to grow by itself, and this person's loyalty to the monarch is also very reliable, and there is no possibility of being an enemy.
Therefore, thanks to Le He's proposal to play this piece, Xiao Tian thought that the court would not care about a small warehouse, and he and his father would be able to do it, but they didn't know that no matter when the person standing at the top was not simple, everyone in the court could see what was going on with his set of actions. He sprinkled thousands of words of analysis of the Japanese Invaders, hoping to make the imperial court pay more attention to the Japanese Invaders, but as a result, none of these bigwigs took it seriously, and everyone saw through the little conspiracy hidden in the end.
Originally, Xiaotian's excerpt was to hope that this warehouse would be funded by himself, and it was opened with the help of his father, of course this is impossible, none of the Manchu Dynasty bosses agreed, how could this kind of thing be done by him privately, fortunately, everyone thinks that this is Xiaotian's young age, and he doesn't think about things enough, but no one thinks about his selfishness, it should be said that Xiaotian's impression of loyalty to everyone is too strong.
However, although everyone agrees, it is still a big question of who this money falls into, just like Jiajing himself said, the imperial court is just a few palaces and a few archways, and the rice still has to be eaten in separate pots. Although it is only a warehouse now, everyone understands that if this thing goes well, it is very likely that this will be the front stop of the opening of the sea.
In order to snatch this hen that is likely to lay golden eggs in the future, there has been a lot of noise in the West Garden, and everyone unanimously passed this resolution, but there is no reason for the quarrel about how to do it and who will do it.
In addition, it is impossible to let music and management, so that all the profits and taxes can only be counted in the accounts of Songjiang, the system of the Ming Dynasty is very interesting, most of the local income is to be withheld, and only a small part is handed over to the household department, what is the reason why Songjiang leaves so much money in the broken place? My Ming Dynasty has become poor and virtuous, and this money has to fall into the hands of the central government no matter what.
Huang Jin opened his mouth and said: "Master, it is better to merge this warehouse and the silk together and let Yang Jinshui be in charge, if there is really profit in the future, then send some more people from the palace" Let Yang Jinshui be responsible, that is, take the accounts of the Weaving Bureau, and then all the profits will be large, whether Jiajing or the eunuch will be happy."
Xu Jie said: "No, of course, it is necessary to reopen the City Ship Division, and the City Ship Division is responsible" The City Ship Division is responsible, and it needs to be led by the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and Ouchi are jointly responsible.
Yan Shifan said, "It's just to open a small warehouse, and it's not to reopen the sea ban, it's better to let Zhao Wenhua take care of it, and the profits will be directly used for the military expenses of the anti-Japanese army" Zhao Wenhua is the main force of the Yan party, which is equivalent to putting the money in the hands of their Yan family.
Of course, there are other opinions, but it is useless to mention them by inconsequential characters. It's useless to argue, if you can argue, you need the emperor to do something.
"Your Majesty respectfully requests for a holy judgment"
Jiajing thought to herself, I'm a sage. If it is according to the emperor's meaning, of course, it will be under the weaving bureau, although the whole world is not the king's land, but the silver of the household department has the joy of Ouchi flowers. More than half of his house was burned down, and every time he wanted silver, he had no money, and this money was either where to go for disaster relief, or where to fight, anyway, it boiled down to the money that you want to take is a faint king.
But obviously it doesn't work, if you really play like this, tomorrow there will be people who will participate in the sea ban, and then there will be a bunch of 'iron-clad' ministers who will come out to say things under the banner of Taizu, and in the end he will be unfilial if he wants to go his own way.
Damn, Chengzu or Taizu's son, Zheng He went to the West seven times, why didn't he see anyone join him? Even if he abolishes all the ministers who are shouting indiscriminately, I am afraid that there will be all kinds of cold guns and arrows in the locality, and when the time comes, a good loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty (Xiaotian) will have to be played bad by these people.
Xu Jie's meaning is a public heart, in fact, Jiajing thinks that it would be good if he could really reopen the market, whether the money is for the household department or for Ouchi After all, it is still given to the imperial court, and he Jiajing has no other hobbies except for cultivating a Dao and refining a pill, and it really can't cost a few dollars.
But the problem is that although the idea is good, it is difficult to do, Xu Jie is not Yan Song, his roots in the court are not so deep, the so-called Xu Party does not actually exist, the so-called people are actually all people who admire him as a person and hope that he will fight Yan Song, but how much is admiration worth a catty, there is really no one to make a good use of the bayonet, no one knows which side the ministers will stand on when the time comes, the power of the Southeast Hao clan is beyond imagination, and it is really not safe to grab such a big piece of cake by relying on Xu Jie.
It is the easiest to give Zhao Wenhua, the strict party corruption is a good hand, and when it is time to collude with these wealthy families to cut off this piece of meat together, a piece is enough to block their mouths, and the implementation must be the smoothest, but it is impossible to say how much of it can fall on the imperial court.
Jiajing also had a headache, so in the end, he simply let Yang Gonggong and Zhao Wenhua follow up first, and then talk about whether to reopen the market and wait for it to become bigger.
