Chapter 352: Renovating the Yamen
Folding, that is, folding the body of the body, to pay tribute to some foreign countries according to the value of chāi into grain and silver, and distribute them to the guān officials to offset their original salaries.
This kind of fang fǎ prevailed in the period from Yongle to Chenghua, because the eunuchs of the three fangbao went to the West, and there were many Nanyang small houses that came to pay tribute, and the tributes such as hú pepper and Sumu were piled up in the treasury, and the court implemented the fold to reduce the inventory, and in the middle of Chenghua a hundred years ago, because the inventory declined, it was gradually abolished.
At the same time, the civil sea trade was prosperous, and the eunuchs and cunning merchants of Yuegang in Fujian conspired to cheat and deceive the court, and many strange overseas products were used as taxes in kind, all of which were transported to Beijing and piled up in the treasury.
Just as Zhang Juzheng was implementing the new zhèng, hoping to open the source of the festival, the court proposed to reopen the fold and use these goods as a salary body to distribute to the guān soldiers, so as to save the original food cash expenditure.
But just after a month of implementation, it made a big trouble, and the guān members in the north and south of the capital complained bitterly, especially those who were poor and hard-working, and the middle and low-level guān members such as the imperial history and so on, for a while, the matter was boiling, and many emperors and nobles also tried their best to rebound.
Forcefully implement it, many low-level poor people have no means of living, and they reluctantly want to fold people's salaries into strange things that are not suitable for eating and wearing, it is unreasonable: just take back your fate, and there is a suspicion of attacking the morning and evening, where is the letter of the court, the cabinet, and especially the first auxiliary emperor?
Now Zhang Juzheng has the feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger, so when Wang Yuguang raised this matter, he looked at Qin Lin with anticris, hoping that he would come up with a crooked idea to solve this trouble.
Qin Lin smiled bitterly with his chin pinched, and said in his heart, "Do you think I am a Doraemon?"
The large amount of grain needed by the river workers and the people, because of the large wealth and wealth of the Cao Gang and the Wufeng Maritime Merchants, and the sphere of influence happened to be located in the high-yield rice production area of Jiāng Nanshui Township, which itself had a strong ability to lose, which could be solved by Qin Lin Qingfeng.
The problem of funding for the new Jun equipment of the new Jun of the electric power and Xunlei qiāng, the new martial arts weapon was originally made by Chunlin, although Zeng Xingwu and others were capable officials, it had only been a few days since they received the samples and schemas presented by Wei Gong, of course, they were not as familiar with it as he was.
And this matter of folding, Qin Lin heard about it for the first time, and he didn't have any preparation at all before, if he could come up with the perfect plan immediately, okay, Zhang Juzheng directly let Xian get it.
"Well, Xia Guān can't think of anything easy to do for the time being" Qin Lin smiled wryly, and arched his hand towards Wang Yuguang: "Wait for Xia Guān to go back and think about it slowly, if you have any opinions, please ask Wang Tian Guān for advice." ”
Wang Yuguang didn't say anything, after all, Qin Lin had already solved the two problems of the bīng department and the ministry of industry, and if he even had the handling party fǎ of folding body affairs at his fingertips, it would be too demonic.
Zhang Juzheng sighed a little disappointed when he heard it, perhaps it was Qin Lin's outstanding performance in front of him, and the first auxiliary emperor had unconsciously regarded him as a figure who could be on the same level as Wang Yuguang and Zeng Xingwu, and even had more scheming.
"Qin Shinephew, the old man knows that you are quite a bit crooked, you should think more about this matter when you go back, if you have any ghost ideas, you might as well come and tell the old man."
Zhang Juzheng and Yan Yue said sè, originally planning to take a few difficult problems to defeat Qin Lin, and then take him hard, but now Lord Shoufu changed his mind, paused, and said: "If you do it well, the old man will reward you heavily!" ”
Qin Lin's hippie smile on his evil face, how can he reward his heart? Give me Zhang Zixuan, that's pretty much it.
Zhang Maoxiu, who was waiting in the corridor outside the window, said with relief: "Hmph, Qin someone finally has a time when he is defeated, I only say that he knows five hundred years before and five hundred years after five hundred years, and Liú Bo wēn is reincarnated!" ”
"I think Qin Lin is good, at least we can't do the two of Hegong and Xinqiāng," Zhang Jingxiu smiled, feeling that his younger brother was too harsh, and the six Shangshu didn't come up with a good fǎ, so he wanted Qin Lin to take it out?
"Hey, little sister, what do you say?" Zhang Maoxiu pushed his sister's shoulder.
"The matter of the broken body, the middle and low-level Jing Guān is greatly damaged, and the nobles and nobles rebound strongly......" Zhang Zidong muttered, his beautiful and neat front teeth gently biting his lip, and the eyebrows that flew obliquely into the temples furrowed slightly.
Zhang Mao Xiuqi said: "What did you say? We ask you what you think of Qin Lin ......",
"Do you still need to ask?" Zhang Jingxiu looked at his younger brother helplessly, and then looked at his younger sister, everything was silent.
Zhang Zixuan reacted, and her pretty face suddenly turned crimson, it turned out that she was thinking about doing something for Chunlin just now!
Above the lobby, Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Pan Li Tau, and Zeng Shengwu, the waiter of the bīng department, were happy and happy, and their problems were all settled: Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, was mixed with joy, and was happy that there were two urgent treasury expenditures that had been solved, and the expenses of the court were no longer as tight as expected.
Only the officials of the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Yuguang and the Shilang Wang Seal were sullen, one of them was nearly seventy this year, one was over Huājia this year, and two white húzi, where they complained: "They all talk about qiú official governance, and the Yulu set by Hongwu yé is already low, and it has to be folded, isn't this bī people going to tān to defile?" ”
"It's okay to be able to tān dirty, and to be able to nòn** Bing Jing Tan Jing, but those poor Beijing guān don't even have a place to tān, originally low, just because the Jingshi Yamen is dilapidated and cold in winter, and they use this as an excuse to huddle at home, and the yamen is empty......"
Any dynasty will inevitably be loosened after the middle of the dynasty, take the court meeting as an example, during the Chenghua period Jinyiwei did statistics, once the more than 2,000 guān foliage members who should have arrived did not arrive, from the beginning of the prince to the low-grade guān swordsmen, so that when Zhang Juzheng took charge of the swords, he simply changed the daily morning dynasty to be held every three six sparks and nine days, so that the guān swordsmen always tried to set up fǎ to escape from the upper dynasty.
The yamen even met the emperor's early dynasty can unscrupulously "skip class", the yamen office is even more casual, the weather is good and normal, the weather has been cold since the beginning of winter, and on the grounds of the yamen's dilapidated and leaky winds, many guān paddle workers simply blatantly bà pun work, to implement the strict investigation of the official rule of the test fǎ, they encountered a large area of soft resistance.
When Qin Lin heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said: "The so-called being a yakou is not repaired, in fact, it is all about looking honest and honest on the face, and all the guān people are magnificent in their own homes, and they deliberately make the yamen nag tattered, first, to save money and put it in their purse, and secondly, they just take advantage of the dilapidated yamen as an excuse not to go to duty, and hide at home to have a comfortable fun." ”
Zhang Juzheng was really furious when he heard this.
He doesn't need to be a good official, like Wang Yuguang and Zeng Shengwu, these guān children, more or less have a bit of tān wealth and good sè máo disease, but they are all capable, and they are also extremely diligent in handling zhèng affairs.
On the contrary, what the Shoufu Emperor hated the most was that first, he was a person who sold his name and faked the Qing Gao, and secondly, Yong Guān was doing a smash guān, what Qin Lin said, which touched his annoyance.
"These mediocre and incompetent people, shī vegetarian meals, are really silverfish!" Zhang Juzheng said angrily, and put his hand down: "Sooner or later, the old man will have to rebuke all this generation."
Song Lin smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, as far as the little nephew Yu sees, the matter of folding the body may be discussed later, and the yamen should indeed be repaired." The yamen was too dilapidated, not only hindering the view of the family and losing the dignity of the Tianfang Dynasty, but also giving the guān guards an excuse to skip work by taking advantage of the cold and heat, which was not a good thing. ”
Zhang Juzheng originally hated Yong guān for being a guān, but when he heard that he wanted huā money, he was indecided.
Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, thought for a while and helped: "Of course, the new construction is huge, and if it is only maintenance, it will not cost much. ”
"And Qin Jiangjun has solved the two problems of Jun machinery and river engineering, and we can still get the maintenance cost of this household" Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the household department, also agreed to repair the yamen, and when he and Wang Yuguang deviated from the "Wanli Accounting Record", they investigated the cost of building and repairing the yamen.
"Okay," Zhang Juzheng patted the table lightly and nodded: "The Ministry of Household will allocate funds and the Ministry of Industry will be responsible for repairing the yamen of the Beijing Division, so as not to use Yong Guān as an excuse to avoid sitting on duty and evading the old man's examination!" ”
Qin Lin brushed his mouth and hehe, this guy has a ghost in his heart.
He waved at Li Youzi and said with a smile: "It's not that Xia Guān complains, Xia Guān is in the office of the Fu Division of Jinyi Weinan Town, it is really broken, since I want to repair the yamen, I will be here quietly, please Li Shangshu send someone to repair my yamen first!" ”
Uh~ Zhang Juzheng, Wang Yuguang, Zhang Xueyan and others looked at each other, and for a while they were dumbfounded and laughed and boasted about Qing Liú, capable officials, old and serious guān veterans, and flying and joyful Gui Sheng, everyone has seen a lot, but a faceless and skinless guy like Qin Lin, you are still the first time in your life to meet the bigwigs.
Li Youzi couldn't help but laugh, and teased: "It turns out that General Qin Jun is in favor of repairing the government, and he has already put his own ideas in front, may I ask Mr. Zhang, is this considered a public and private loan?" ”
Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and smiled silently.
Qin Lin cheekily said in a loud voice: "Public and private, this is only public and private." ”
"Scoundrel, what a scoundrel!" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing, and said solemnly: "Qin Lin, it's okay for you to be a scoundrel elsewhere, but there is one thing not to mess with the ghost idea, otherwise the old man will never spare you!" ”
Old Tarzan...... Qin Lin had a bitter face, and said in his heart You are really guarding against sǐ, why is there such a big difference between people and people, do you think Wei Gong and his old man are more open?
Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu heard this in the corridor, the two brothers had already laughed, Qin Lin was lazy enough, and his father was also happy, well, it has been several years, and I haven't seen my father laugh like today.
"This guy!" Zhang Zixuan pursed her lips, seeing that the conversation was almost over, Qin Lin was about to leave, she pulled the two brothers together and left the corridor.
"Don't you see him?" Zhang Maoxiu's eyes were open, not understanding what his sister thought.
