Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to mean to speak, Guo Yunhou didn't speak, just sat there quietly and didn't speak. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info things have come to this point, Guo Yunhou no longer has any hope, just waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to deal with him.

In fact, Guo Yunhou is drilling the tip of the horns, and he doesn't want to think about it, if Emperor Chongzhen really wants to deal with him, how can he still see him, wouldn't it be good to deal with it directly?

"Yes, Guo Aiqing is worthy of the rumors!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile, and then said: "I have just ascended to the Great Treasure, many things are not very clear, it just so happens that Aiqing is here today, and I happen to have some things to inquire about." The Ming Dynasty is rich in treasures, and the land is vast, but why is there so little tax every year? ”

"More than five million taels, and here you have to count the Liao salary and the additional tax, I took a look, the additional tax has reached Chongzhen for seven years, right?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Guo Yunhou and said.

Guo Yunhou was silent, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Yes, the emperor, it has been seven years since Chongzhen. ”

"Aiqing, as a secretary of the household department, naturally knows very well about taxes, and the common people have to bear the salary and levy on top of the original taxes, and the burden is very rare." Emperor Chongzhen stared at Guo Yunhou and said in a deep voice: "Can Aiqing tell me why the imperial court is still not enough for such a heavy levy?" ”

"Not only is Bian Xiang missing every year, but the officials are also incomplete, where does the money go?"

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's question, Guo Yunhou was angry from his heart, and his face turned red. Ask yourself where the money goes? How do I know where the money goes? After suppressing it for a long time, Guo Yunhou said: "In the past few years, natural disasters have been frequent in the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong has a lot of expenses, and the imperial court does not pay much taxes, so it is naturally impossible to make ends meet. ”

Guo Yunhou is not a minister, he is not a minister who passed the top three in the gold list, and then became a Hanlin editor, and went straight to the cabinet minister, he has served in the local government, has been a magistrate, and even a magistrate in Luoyang, and even seen King Fu's greedy and excessive people.

I know in my heart where all the money of the Ming Dynasty has gone, just talking about a lucky king, Julian has a wealth of tens of millions, and countless lands, which can definitely be regarded as a big rich.

However, King Fu did not pay taxes, and not only owned a large amount of land, but also a large number of businesses. In addition to the huge class of scholars who do not pay taxes, it is strange that the imperial court pays taxes. The taxes of the imperial court are not even as good as the annual harvest of the emperor's inner treasury, and it is strange that the New Year is not poor.

The five million taels of taxes, the salaries of the army, and the salaries of the officials are all a little stretched, and they still have to use troops in Liaodong, and they also have to provide disaster relief, and they also have to repair water conservancy, rivers, warships, artillery, etc., how could the imperial court not tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

In this way, sooner or later, there will be no wall to tear down, Guo Yunhou's heart is very clear.

It's just that these words can't be said, this is a policy formulated by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who dares to say that it will be changed? No one dared to bear the wrath of the scholars, and no one dared to bear the charge of abolishing the law of the ancestors. Zhang Juzheng did it, what was the result? After being whipped by the royal family, who would dare to stand up?

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Guo Yunhou's emotions calmed down, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh, this person's qi cultivation kung fu really has nothing to say.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Aiqing, I tell you the truth, what can a tax of five million taels do for a huge country? Nothing can be done, this is still after the imperial court levied Liao salary and increased taxes. ”

"The people are suffering, and I am also known as the heavy levy, on the one hand, it is the heavy levy, and on the other hand, there is no money, isn't this the biggest joke in the world?"

It's not just ridiculous, it's just a big tooth that was laughed out of someone's big teeth, the two contradictory opposites are embodied at this moment, and they are embodied in Emperor Chongzhen alone. Emperor Chongzhen in history will not figure out this problem when he dies, because no one will tell him, no one will tell him, and no one will tell him that the whole world knows what he knows, and he will hide it from the emperor alone.

"I am the biggest fool in the world, I am the biggest fool in the world, and I am the object that everyone in the world wants to hide!" Looking at Guo Yunhou's submissive appearance, Emperor Chongzhen was angry and scolded loudly.

The Son of Heaven has a courtier, although he has no way, he does not lose his world; The Father has a son, though he has no way, he does not fall into unrighteousness; Therefore, Yunzi must not blame his father, and his ministers must not blame him.

How much Emperor Chongzhen wished that there was a courtier by his side at this time, a person who dared to tell the truth and dare to tell the truth? Even if he is like Hai Rui, even if he shouts out something like "Jiajing Jiajing, every family is clean", but unfortunately not.

All of them are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, all of them are officials, and those who are capable are people like Guo Yunhou.

"The minister is guilty, and the emperor is angry!" Guo Yunhou knelt directly on the ground and said loudly.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Guo Yunhou who was kneeling on the ground, his heart moved, he nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for him to get up. calmed down the emotions in my heart, since this is the case, then I don't care who I use, just see if he can do things.

This time, Qingzhang land, reform the tax system, I used Guo Yunhou, led and didn't go, I went backwards, I wanted to take a look, I forced him from behind, whether he could go or not.

"Let's go down!" Emperor Chongzhen had lost interest in talking to Guo Yunhou and let Guo Yunhou go down.

Guo Yunhou bowed and saluted, and pushed out after saying goodbye, his steps were a little staggering, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must resign when he goes back.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen on the side, and directly ordered: "If Guo Yunhou is resigned, he will directly leave me without sending it, and I will have to use this person." You choose some shrewd eunuchs from the palace, who are young and have reliable character. ”

"I'll find someone to teach them in a few days, and I have something for them to do!" Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes and commanded directly.

Cultivate some eunuchs who know how to measure the land, know how to do simple arithmetic, and know how to keep accounts, and when the land is cleared, they will be sent to supervise the work, and this matter must be carried out no matter what. If someone dares to conceal the land, then it will be confiscated directly.

After making up his mind, Emperor Chongzhen was not angry anymore and shifted his mind to Wang Zhichen.

"Wang Chengen, summon the king's ministers, I want to see him!" Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and said directly, the matter of Shaanxi sacrifice cannot be delayed any longer, and when the situation is out of control, it will be a big trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid are going to deliver the decree!" Wang Chengen agreed, turned around and walked outside.

Emperor Chongzhen drank a little tea, watched the music for a while, and Wang Chengen walked in with Wang Zhichen.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Zhichen hurriedly picked up his clothes and kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen: "Ministers of the king, participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Nodding and waving his hand, Emperor Chongzhen motioned for Wang Zhichen to get up, and then said: "Aiqing has worked hard, Aiqing has traveled to Liaodong twice this year, and he didn't stay for a long time, and I have a good feeling in my heart." But this time, I have another important use for Aiqing, and I hope Aiqing understands that she is really hardworking. ”

Wang Zhichen, as a 10,000-year-old soy sauce man, is strange that he has no grievances in his heart, just arrived in Liaodong, his butt is not hot and he moves people around, is my Wang Zhichen not as good as others?

In Wang Zhichen's heart, he has long held his breath, and he has to do something to show everyone that my Wang Zhichen is also a talented person. It's a pity that Wang Zhichen has never had a chance, and this time when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to reuse himself, he suddenly felt a little excited.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said to Wang Zhichen: "Aiqing, I won't spare the bend, I am ready to let you be the governor of the three sides!" ”

Trilateral Governor? That's still a lot of people! Wang Zhichen couldn't help but think that it was better than the governor of Liaodong! But why did you go to Shaanxi yourself? However, this is a matter for the emperor to consider, not for himself.

"Thank you for the emperor's trust!" Wang Zhichen hurriedly said: "But Lord Yang, the governor of the three sides! ”

The current governor of the three sides is Yang He, and Emperor Chongzhen has no prejudices against this, and he has a good evaluation of him in history, saying that he is a good official, but he does not know soldiers. With such a person, Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not be placed in a place like SX.

History proves that Yang He's policy of appeasement in Shaanxi was a complete failure, which led to the expansion of the rebellion later.

"Yang Aiqing will return to Beijing soon, and I will appoint him with another appointment!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, without any intention of continuing the topic with Wang Zhichen.

Wang Zhichen also understood that this was his own abruptness, and this was not a question he should ask.

"Wang Aiqing, I have dropped Man Gui back for you, and let him be the chief soldier of Guyuan, which can be regarded as transferring you a capable subordinate." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Zhichen and said.

The governor of the three sides controlled the governors of Hexi, Hedong, and SX, as well as the nine general troops of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, NX Yansui, Shintoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan. However, Kaifu is in Guyuan, so the Guyuan General Army is the closest army to the trilateral governor and the most able to directly command.

Emperor Chongzhen put Man Gui, who had a good relationship with Wang Zhichen, here, naturally he was full of sincerity and considered Wang Zhichen very much.

Hearing that Man Gui was going to help him, Wang Zhichen suddenly showed joy on his face, and hurriedly said: "Thank you to the emperor!" ”

However, Wang Zhichen is also a little worried, is Shaanxi going to war? transferred himself over, and transferred Man Gui to Guyuan as the chief soldier, such a posture of being ready for battle.

"By the way, there is another person, his name is Cao Wenzhao, should you be familiar with it? I also dropped him from Liaodong and transferred him to Yansui as the chief soldier. Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Zhichen with a smile in his eyes.

"Cao Wenzhao!" Wang Zhichen's mood is even heavier, although Cao Wenzhao is a guerrilla general, Cao Wenzhao is also very famous in Liaodong, and he is a very capable person! Now that the emperor has transferred Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao to Shaanxi, what happened to Shaanxi?

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will do his best!" Wang Zhichen didn't ask, just bowed down and said, after all, no matter what happened to Shaanxi, the emperor would tell him.
