In the Wuyi Palace, all the Shangshu looked at each other, and they didn't want to be the first to speak. Gao Gong, who came to listen, couldn't get used to the cowering appearance of these ministers, and said abruptly: "Wufu, in fact, it's obvious," Gao Gong no longer wanted to be so bored with them, and stood up suddenly, "If the national defense and military spending is reduced again, the Ming Dynasty will be ruined; The affected provinces do not provide relief, but they are afraid of provoking civil unrest! The river workers must not be repaired, otherwise several provinces will suffer disasters next year; As for the officials' Yulu, if you don't like it, does Motosuke want to force them to be greedy? Saying that, he snorted coldly and uncovered the mystery that everyone had been afraid to touch for a long time: "Actually, everyone knows what should be dismounted...... At the very least, we should slow down and talk about it later when we have money. ”

Of course you know, isn't it the emperor's two palaces and two views, and there is also a Yuzhi altar?

"In the 41st year of Jiajing, the Ministry of Industry has rebuilt three major halls for the palace, and repaired the Shengshou Palace in Xiyuan, how much did it cost? Now that the three major halls have been repaired, the emperor also has a place to live, as for the two palaces and two views, they are not urgent, why can't they wait? Speaking of this, Gao Gong simply looked directly at Xu Jie: "Yuanfu, as the prime minister, you can't always let the emperor come up with everything, right?" And all of you here, as ministers, we must always have the right conscience of heaven and earth, as well as the people of the community." His gaze swept over everyone, but he found that everyone lowered their heads slightly, as if they were pondering something, but in fact they didn't dare to look at themselves.

The pins could be heard in the room, except for the slight crackling of charcoal burning.

In the end, Xu Jie opened his mouth, but he just sighed softly and said: "Su Qing, the old man originally coincided with you, and he just wanted to repair the Yuzhi Altar first, as for the two palaces and two views, just wait and talk about it."

"And now?" Gao Gong asked.

"Now......" Xu Jie sighed again, and then fell silent.

"Did something happen?" Gao Gong asked anxiously.

"Don't speculate." Xu Jie shook his head, but seeing that several Shangshu were all incomprehensible, he simply said with a full stomach: "At this time and that time, everything must be considered from the overall situation, as soon as King Jing goes, King Yu will become the only prince, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?" He knew that if this decision was made today, he would become the finger of a thousand people, and if these Shangshu were against him, then all the compromises would become self-digging.

Everyone saw that he suddenly jumped to the matter of the storage position, and they were still a little puzzled, but after all, it was a hot spot of everyone's attention, and they still said: "Of course it's a good thing, King Yu's status as the prince has been confirmed, and no one is half-hearted anymore,"

"But the old man doesn't see it that way." Xu Jie's words were astonishing: "I have served the emperor for 20 years, and I know more about today's character than you. Su Qing, if it is really submitted according to your opinion, what will the emperor think? Is it possible to agree? Even if you agree, who of you would dare to spend this?" If he hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, Xu Jiejie would not have said such straightforward words, but the effect of saying it was indeed immediate.

Zhongshang Shu was speechless, even Gao Gong didn't have that momentum of generosity, and listened to Xu Jie's full of emotion: "Su Qing, court ministers like you and me, you can come by your own temperament, it's a big deal to be assigned to the frontier, I am with you, and the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty is people." But there is only one prince in the Ming Dynasty, so he can't shake the foundation of the country, right? 「”

Gao Gong was stunned, completely speechless. Let Xu Jie, he also understand the delicate situation of King Yu now, it is precisely because of his uniqueness that he is more likely to be suspicious of Jiajing, and from now on he will do things and speak by himself, I am afraid that he will have to be more careful to restrain himself, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to King Yu. Thinking of this, he lost his whole body, and sat in his chair without saying a word.

"For the sake of a country, of course Xu wants to make the people of the world, civil and military officials, and the two capitals and thirteen provinces all right, but now in the situation of the imperial court, he does not have the ability, so he can only take care of the most important things first." Xu Jie's emotions moved at this time, tears flashed in his eyes, and he choked up: "As you guessed, the Holy Body, the Holy Communion is already worrying...... "Since he was seriously ill, Jiajing rarely met with foreign ministers, and all government affairs were conveyed through Xu Jie.

Seeing that the atmosphere had changed greatly, Xu Jie's tone became firm and said, "At this time, it is the tightest

What you want, you don't need to say more.

Let all parties take care of it first, and then make up for today's debts when the time comes. You can rest assured, "With me, the first assistant, the hundred officials, the people, and the military, I will not scold you, I will be cheeky and persist until that day, and then take the blame and resign, to thank the world!" Speaking of this, his whole person was righteous and awe-inspiring.

Everyone hurriedly said: "I am willing to share the weal and woe with Lord Yuanfu and support the overall situation!" After all, the officials of this era always pinned their hopes for national reform on the Holy Lord Renjun, and how much they were disappointed in Jiajing, how much hope they had for King Yu...... If it is to protect His Royal Highness King Yu, everything is negotiable.

"Good, good, good!" Xu Jie nodded again and again with emotion: "Thank you for your understanding of Xu."

of painstaking efforts. "Said the right color

"Then how will next year's budget be allocated?" ”

"Listen to the elder of the pavilion." Zhongshang Scholars are willing or unwilling, in this situation, too

I had to agree.

"Okay." Xu Jie didn't give in: "Yan Tang." ”

"Yes." Guo Pu got up and arched his hand.

"Pay half a year's salary first, I'll give you one million taels, and you can distribute it." Xu Jie looked at him and said: "Explain more to them, and ask them to be sure to put national affairs first, and not to make trouble, let alone go to the top."

Guo Pu nodded with an embarrassed face and said, "I'll do my best." ”

At this time, Xu Jie just wanted to be able to throw the hot potato out, no matter whether he was willing or not, he immediately turned to Gao Yao and said: "Sage Yun: 'The way of heaven is more than damaged and makes up for the shortage'. My Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, and not all of them are starving, and the rich provinces have sent letters to several provinces such as Nanzhi, Zhejiang, and Huguang, ordering them to open their treasury and help the affected provinces. After a pause, he said: "Tell them that the court will not treat them badly, and if you have any requirements, you can meet them."

Gao Yao pondered for a moment and said softly: "In this way, there can be one million taels of money to the Ministry of Industry." ”

"One and a half million taels." Xu Jie said: "Let Guo Butang help you urge together, put this time."

In the performance record assessment, it should be less difficult. ”

Guo Pu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "This is inevitably coerced......

"I don't care about that much." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Even if you put a knife on their necks, you can get it out." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Dong again and said: "Here in the Ministry of War, I will let Guangdong and Sichuan start a campaign to raise the number."

Strive to solve military spending on the spot← how much can be saved in this way? "The so-called promotion is Hu Zongxian's specialty of making people angry, and now Xu Jie can't take care of it so much, so he has to learn it.

"One million taels." Jiang Dong was a little angry and said: "If you reduce it for me again, the Great Wall will not."

It's repaired, and next year Tartar will come again, familiar with the way, and the fun will definitely be great. ”

"No less." Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "There are still 500,000 taels of concubines to ......," said Nikko

fell on Lei Li and said, "Lei Butang ......"

Lei Li also said anxiously: "I can't miss a penny of money to repair the Yellow River, otherwise I won't be embarrassed."

Si explained to Pan Jitao. ”

"Didn't let you subtract one-one-one-one" Xu Jie smiled awkwardly = "The old man means) that 500,000."

Two, you borrow from the money bank in the name. ”

"Alas......" Lei Li nodded depressedly and took the errand. In this era, the imperial court is asking for money

It is a very shameful thing for Zhuang to borrow money, and people are willing to borrow and repay.

Finally squeezed out the money for the emperor to repair the palace, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "I will report this matter to the emperor, and prepare for the prince's filial piety to the saint, and the emperor will be very pleased." ”

Everyone nodded, and their hearts were confused: "But except for the emperor, no one will be pleased...... ●

Although he lived in seclusion, he was still much better informed than ordinary officials, and soon after the end of the cabinet meeting, he knew the budget for the coming year.

When he learned the news, he was naked, lying on the bed for Yu Yin to ...... Cupping. Yu Yin's technique is no less than that of a real doctor, he will burn the lit moxa sticks in the big green bamboo cocoon, and when the fire is at its peak, it will be accurately buckled on the acupuncture points on Shen Mo's back, and the movements are healthy and calm, and the proportions are just right.

Shen Mo enjoyed this faintly lame, but comfortable feeling from the heart, squinted his eyes and said: "You can't practice this technique for ten or eight years." ”

Yu Yin smiled and said: "The students used to be poor, and the residence was damp, and the couple were wet and cold at a young age, and they looked down on the doctor, so they could only cupping and scraping each other. ”

Shen Mo listened and nodded silently, and suddenly asked, "It's not easy to pass the year before last, right?"

"But isn't it, one by one, one by one" mentioned the past) Yu Yin said with emotion: "Not everyone is looking forward to the New Year, for wealthy families, it is natural to be happy to celebrate the New Year; For the poor, it is a sad year after year! Looking back on the past, all year round, I ran to hunger and cold. The family looked through the eyes, waiting for the past few years to be able to eat meat and wear a new clothes, but this requirement is too difficult for a poor and down-and-out scholar. ”

"It's not easy." Lying on the bed silently, he muttered, "Back then, my father and I,

There was also such a paragraph. ”

"This is not the saddest thing," Yu Yin sighed: "There were a few years when I was extremely unlucky and in debt, and at the end of the year, the creditor would come to the door to collect it, and in order to avoid the 'New Year's Pass-, I could only hide out before the New Year's Day, leaving my wife and children to listen to the creditor's scolding in the broken house and the wall like thunder, and I didn't dare to go home until the end of Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Listening to his stories about the past, Shen Mo suddenly thought of someone, and couldn't help laughing: "An honest person like you, you still have to learn from Xu Wei, he was also a lot of debts back then, but no creditor dared to come to the door to ask for it, and he could always live in peace." ”

"Oh, what's the best way for Mr. Buncho?" She Yin said with interest.

"He actually went out to hide at first, and the year was very unpleasant. Later, he was ruthless and said that I must be at home for the New Year in the coming year, so the next year, he wrote a couplet with black letters on a white background and pasted it early

On the gate, the upper link is: 'Let me be a gentleman for the New Year', and the lower link is'If you want to force the debt, the villain will approve it', 'Come on, the knife will serve.' Shen Mo said with a smile: "This method works very well" The one who came to collect the debt saw it, and he left without turning around, and it really made him comfortable for a year."

Yu Yin was amused and laughed, and before he finished laughing, he heard the adult say quietly: "You said that if I prescribe this recipe to the Qingliu officials in Beijing, will I make a lot of money?"

Although Shen Mo was still joking, Yu Yin couldn't laugh anymore, and sighed: "Their days are really sad, those real power yamen are okay to say, like the Guozijian, Hanlin Yuan, and Duchayuan, these Qingliu yamen, all point to this point to repay debts for the New Year, now it depends on how the household department explains to them." ”

"How?" Shen Mo moved his body and said: "Since I have done this, I don't plan to explain to them, but the Beijing officials are afraid of the fire, but they are afraid that this will add fuel to the fire and cause some trouble." He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are more than 100,000 forbidden troops stationed in Beijing, but they are all paid for ten months, obviously they don't want the army to mess up, as for the Qinglius, just make trouble, it seems that the adults feel that they can afford it." ”

"Can you really afford it?" Yu Yin looked at the Western clock, and when the time came, he began to pull out the fire jar, looking at the purple-black circles on Shen Mo's back, he said in a low voice: "My lord, your fire is heavy enough, you have to pay attention." ”

Feeling a slack on his back, he sat up silently, put on a padded jacket and said: "The state affairs are like Ruosi, but I can't help it, and it's weird if I don't get angry?"

"The students also think that Shiyuegong's opinion is correct." Yu Yin said cautiously when he heard this: "But now the crowd is excited, which we didn't expect, and the students think that it is still beneficial for adults to express their opinions appropriately and follow the trend." ”

"Hmm." Shen Mo nodded, "I see." But in his heart, he actually had other plans

It's just that this plan, and even the reason for the fire, can't be explained to outsiders......

Shen Mo did not expect it badly, and two days later, the storage warehouse of the household department made a big mess and beat it

Hurt someone.

But this is also normal, who encounters this, even if he has a cotton strip, it will rub out the sparks, and if you don't make trouble, you will be called a ghost and the Beijing officials' Yulu, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year-, everyone was waiting for the city to solve the silver, so they all endured. Most of them rely on borrowing everywhere to support, and when it comes to the end of the year, they all owe a lot of debts, and this year can't be passed, so they all point to today's trip.

Therefore, these well-educated people, who pay the most attention to Shen Zhi calmly, were kicked out of the house by their daughters-in-law before dawn and came to line up in front of the storage warehouse to receive the money. The result was a great disappointment to them -- the household officials said that there was an order from above, whether it was the six departments and the nine kings or the small officials who did not enter the stream, all those who came today were treated equally: three buckets of rice, two liters of pepper, and five hundred yuan of treasure money per person.

The officials who were waiting to be fed suddenly blew up the pot, is this to send a meal? I can't even pay off my debts, and I still want everyone to go home? Collectively hanged themselves in the storage warehouse. As a result, everyone didn't receive it, and they clamored to let the household department be an official, and came out to give an explanation.

Lei Li had long expected that there would be this one, so that among the twenty-five men of the Thirteen Qing Officials, all of them had not been dispatched, and the task was to persuade everyone to understand the difficulties of the court and live a light year of peace and happiness.

But no matter how clever they are, they can't compare to a liter and a hundred meters, how can the officials listen to them, and ask them, where did the money of the Ming Dynasty go xiaoshuo510.com the novel 510 reading picture version? The people in the household department are also depressed, and we want to know more, but at this time, the budget for the coming year has not yet been disclosed, how can they, the petty officials, find out the secrets.

Hearing the news, more and more officials rushed in, and hundreds of people crowded into a confined space, and the crowd was excited, noisy and shouting, and no one could hear who was speaking, but they felt that anger was surging up layer by layer, and they did not know who would make the first move, and they would actually beat the officials of the household department out of anger. Fortunately, Hai Rui stood up and stopped him, so he gave his comrades a chance to retreat, but he and several servants were injured and said to have been withered home.

After hearing the news, Shen Mo couldn't sit still, and ordered someone to load a cart of New Year's goods and go to Hai Rui's house to visit.

Ruohan was a little incomprehensible: "I've been in Beijing for so long, and Lianrui hasn't come to visit, and he sent New Year's goods to his family a few days ago, but he returned them." People obviously don't want to associate with our family, so why bother one by one"

"Why do you need to put a hot face on someone's cold butt?" Shen Mo smiled.

"I'm not—not that vulgar." Ruohan glanced at him and said, "But the meaning is similar."

"Huh." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You don't understand this thing, but there is one,

Since we are friends, I should treat him as a constant and set an example for the children. ”

"In that case, I won't stop you." Ruohan took out a big coat and draped it on him and said, "Early."

Come back.

"Really sensible." Shen Mo smiled and wanted to kiss her, "It is worthy of being my daughter-in-law."

Ruohan dodged lightly, blushing and said, "Let the children see it."

It's late, it's early tomorrow.
