Chapter 447: The Hot Potato (4)
The Ministry of Industry has not changed much this year, and it is only that Shen He was transferred back to the Ministry of Industry and served as the right waiter, in addition, the original capital of the Shui Qing Officials Division Zhangyin Lang Zhongsun Dongfang released Hubei Zhentai, Li Shuangchun took over the division again, and then there is the position of Dai Duo in the manufacturing library palm seal Lang Although he has not been promoted, he has added the title of the Ministry of Labor, ranking above all the Lang, as for the palm seal Langzhong of the rest of the divisions, it is still the original team. A group of people are all old workers, they are very familiar with Hongqing's work habits, this received an urgent order, since no one dared to slack off, a stick of incense in less time, all the participants have arrived in the lobby, just waiting for Hongqing and Hongli the arrival of the two assistant Longsun.
"Sunny Belle has arrived!"
Although the participants are in different camps from each other, after all, they are colleagues for many years, and they are quite harmonious on the big face, although they don't know the purpose of Hongqing's urgent meeting, but it does not prevent everyone from talking and laughing easily.
"Xiaguan and the others have seen Qing Baylor and have seen the son of Hongli."
Seeing that the Hongqing brothers came together, the officials didn't dare to be careless, so they hurriedly restrained the smiles on their faces, and saluted together.
"All of you, please take your seats."
Hongqing slowly walked to the back of the copywriter in the middle, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, looked around with a solemn face, and then raised his hand in a weak voice, and called out in a slightly cold voice.
"Xie Qing, Belleron."
Hearing Hongqing's voice was slightly cold, all the officials couldn't help but muttered a little in their hearts, but at this moment, no one dared to talk nonsense, so they could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, thank them in unison, and then sit back in their places.
"Today, I invite the princes to come here, there is a matter to discuss with the princes, so to speak, I have a lot of disadvantages in the money law now, and it is time to have to make it easier, now, Shen He Shilang has been on this chapter, determined to do this, Ben Baylor and the younger brother after discussion, but also feel that it is urgent to make it easier, when the former brother presides over the overall situation of Yu Heng Qing Officials, and cooperates with Shen Langzhong to make every effort to establish a new money law, in order to save the current unfavorable situation, the following is explained by Shen Shilang first The necessity of making the money law easier."
After everyone sat down, Hongqing didn't say much nonsense, and clearly stated the theme of the meeting.
"Buzz ......"
Hongqing's words will come down, although it is not long, but the content is very rich, quite a bit of a shocking meaning, a group of officials immediately became in a commotion, no side, Hongli is in charge of Yu Hengqing Officials Although it is also a big deal, but compared to the reform of the money law, it is not worth mentioning - all the officials are old eunuchs, and many people have been local officials, since they know that the current money law has drawbacks, and they also know that these drawbacks are extremely harmful to the community, but the involvement is too wide. But no one dared to mention this matter, because if the money law was to be reformed, it would be against the entire bureaucracy, and such pressure and hardship were very bearable.
"All the princes are invited, I towards the money law to copper six lead four as a custom, so that the money is expensive and the silver is cheap, according to the law one or two silver is worth a thousand Wen, in fact, the market is only worth one or two silver is worth seven hundred Wen, today, the county, the government of the tax is always in silver, and the rise of the small people how to come to a lot of silver two, generally to money tax payment, bad officials take the opportunity to get up and down their hands, in order to fill their own pockets, more daring and reckless, colluding with illegal businessmen, melting money casting, changing hands more than 20 times the profit, its feelings are shocking, more money law is urgent, its strategy should have two: one, take copper four and lead six, Although the surface of the coins is slightly darker, they are still legible, or they may balance the exchange ratio of the silver coins; Second, when there is an organization that is specifically responsible for cracking down on the cause of unscrupulous merchants to finance money, so that there is no risk of loss of coins in the market, as mentioned above. ”
Shen He ignored everyone's nonsense, reached out and took out a fold from the wide sleeve, and then cleared his throat slightly, and the master announced.
Dead silence, the dead silence of a faction, as soon as Shen He's voice fell, the officials who were still muttering and discussing privately immediately all fell silent, and the hall was instantly a dead silence.
Don't look at Shen He's two ways to change, it seems very simple, as long as the court meeting is passed, the old man will give an order, and he can immediately take place in one step, but in fact it is far from being so simple, not to mention that once this matter is mentioned, how difficult it is for the court parliament, just say that it is not so easy to carry it out, you must know that this is cutting off the financial route of countless officials, it is the same sin as digging people's ancestral graves, and it is strange that those local officials below do not protest en masse, even if there is a tough attitude of the old man, Those local officials do not dare to oppose on the surface, but in private, how can they not change their methods of playing tricks, and really want to make trouble to the point of soaring prices, and those who propose this move will most likely be impeached, and moreover, the so-called dictatorship obviously involves the four major yamen of workers, households, criminals, and officials, and who will be the master is a difficult problem in itself, even if the old man has made a decision, it is difficult to avoid the possibility of passing the buck to each other, if so, it is really hard to say how efficient such an institution can be, if there is no effect for a year and a half, The bullets are flying all over the sky again, and no matter who goes to this institution, they will be unlucky.
"Do you have any objections to this? If not, the matter is settled. ”
For the psychology of the officials, Hongqing is too clear, and he doesn't bother to say it, this time the officials are all silent, Hongqing does not explain, and he is quite arbitrary to make a decision.
"Qing Belle, Xia Guan thinks that this matter needs to be cautious."
Others have nothing to do with themselves, and they can hang high, but Qi Dazuo obviously doesn't have such a blessing, not for anything else, just because he is the palm seal of Yu Hengqing's official department, he is never able to get out of this matter, this time Hongqing is going to make a decision, his eyes are red on the spot, and he interrupts regardless of the ground.
"Prudent? How's that for a prudent approach, huh? ”
Hongqing had long expected that Qi Dazuo would jump out and sing the opposite, and he didn't care about it in his heart, but his face sank in an instant, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth gloomily.
"Ah, this, this ......, hehe, Qing Belle, you know, although my Ministry of Industry also has the right to mint money, but the amount of money minted is only two percent of the household, even if the money law mutation is to be mentioned, it should be the head of the household to put forward, if we mention this, it seems inevitable that there will be a suspicion of overstepping, if there is a lawsuit at the end of the household, the consequences must not be easy to play, Qing Baylor, do you see if this matter is communicated with the end of the household first, and when there is a consensus, it is not too late to go to the top."
This matter is too important, although he was frightened by Hongqing's gloomy tone, Qi Dazuo categorically refused to give in just like that, and after the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he still stubbornly raised objections.
"Yes, Qing Belle, the lower officials also thought that this matter had to be done cautiously, and suddenly proposed such a chapter, one of which was afraid of annoying the officials of the household department, and the other was also prone to the resistance of such bastards in the local area.
Chen Busi has always advanced and retreated with Qi Dazuo, and with Qi Dazuo taking the lead, he has also come to the spirit, which he echoed with a smile from the side.
"Ridiculous, you wait for the king's luck, but you don't want to serve the court, you will rob when you have merit, and hide when you encounter trouble, what is the use of such a waste as you, if you don't want to be an official, Ben Baylor will become a complete Er, without Zhang Butcher, you really can't eat hairy pigs? If you don't want to do it, then Ben Baylor will find some people who want to do it, and you can resign. ”
Hongqing's mind has been decided, how could it be mixed up by Qi and Chen, so his face sank, and he reprimanded the two mercilessly, and finally forced the two to resign and leave.
Resigned? This kind of thing, Qi and Chen are naturally unwilling to do it, the two of them can climb to the current position, although it is generally based on the recommendation of their own sons, but they themselves have spent a lot of silver, how can they let the position under the butt be plain, this listening to Hongqing's words to such a point, the two glanced at each other, and immediately lost their voices.
"Do you have any other comments to mention, huh?"
Seeing that Qi and Chen were no longer angry, Hongqing would not be too much of herself, and she didn't even look at the two of them anymore, so she asked again with a straight face.
Among the many officials present, except for Qi and Chen, who were hardcore oppositionists, the rest of them were either Hongqing's descendants or allies, although they all had other ideas in their hearts, they did not dare to have any conflict with Hongqing in the case of such public court deliberations, so the hall fell silent.
"Well, since all the princes have no objections, then this matter is decided, Ming'er has a brother Lao Li and Shen Shilang jointly signed this chapter, and see how the court will plan again, and dismiss the meeting!"
Since everyone remained silent, Hongqing naturally acquiesced to this silence on the spot, and then waved his hand, and made a bold decision, and in the end, he didn't give everyone a chance to speak more, got up and went to the back hall.
"Alas......"
"This ......"
"Hoo ......"
……
As soon as Hongqing walked like this, the discussion naturally couldn't go on, and all the officials all smiled bitterly, either growing out of the atmosphere, or shaking their heads and sighing, no one else, just because of this chapter, the Ministry of Industry immediately had to become the target of public criticism, and everyone wanted to stay out of the matter, and few people could be happy......
