Chapter 1148: Rebellion
During the period of being imprisoned by Wanli, the old minister Zhu Heng, and the hero of the impeachment of Yan Song, Zou Yinglong, died one after another, and order was restored. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for the original National Assembly, which was officially changed to the Constituent Assembly, Tang Ruji was the most ferocious in his confrontation with Wanli, and he was punished the most, with poor food and clothing, and was beaten badly, and he was forced to do hard labor every day.
Fortunately, Tang Ruji survived, but one of his legs was broken, and there was no doctor to treat him, leaving him with a lifelong disability.
Tang Ruji has never been a generous person, and after regaining power, he immediately retaliated against Wanli. Tang Ruji made public the matter of Wanli's imprisonment of the elder of the pavilion and the political representatives. Based on his own personal experience, he wrote a diary of martyrdom and published it publicly.
Moreover, he sorted out what Wanli did into more than a dozen major crimes, each of which was shocking, and although Wanli was dead, he was also completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
In addition, Tang Ruji also ordered the confiscation of all royal property, including the Forbidden City, which was ready to be officially opened to the outside world for the people to visit.
He really hated the emperor so much that he would never give anyone a chance to restore.
Tang Yi saw Tang Ruji's thoughts, and under his instruction, Xu Wei took over the position of senior minister, and Xu Wei tried to draft an imperial constitution, but due to the constraints of the royalists, he was stillborn.
This time, there was no hindrance, Xu Wei gathered a large number of like-minded guys, including Li Zhen, a madman, to draft a constitution together.
The origin of the crisis caused by Wanli was to force the Daming Savings Bank to buy bonds, which caused a financial panic and spread into a crisis.
More than a decade ago, the silver crisis led to the demise of the Jin merchants.
The two serious financial disasters have made everyone realize the terrible power of finance, and it is necessary to maintain financial stability and protect private property, which has become the consensus of everyone.
Everyone must abide by the law, including the emperor, so that no one can influence the rules of finance on their own.
First of all, it is necessary to split and dispose of the Daming Savings Bank, which was originally able to operate ordinary deposit and loan business, and also issue currency, and also has the power to set interest rates.
They unanimously decided to slim down the banks and set up the Bank of China, which was specifically responsible for issuing currency and formulating interest rate policies. Ordinary deposit and loan business is handed over to other banks.
The Bank of China has set up 15 directors, each in two capitals and 13 provinces, each with a quota, and these 15 people, uphold an objective and neutral position, set interest rates, and decide the amount of currency to be issued each year.
Speaking of high-sounding, but in fact, the fifteen directors of the Bank of China are behind the financial forces of the provinces, that is, those powerful family merchants, nine of which are from the Department of Communications, and the control of the bank is firmly in Tang Yi's hands.
Stripping the golden power from the hands of the imperial court and handing it over directly to the wealthy merchant family is not a good idea, and there will definitely be problems in the future. However, Tang Yi had no choice, after all, he had advocated it for many years, and although the status of a businessman had been raised, it was still not enough to compete with the powerful civil official group.
Of course, it is not good for the gold power to be too big, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the gold power to be completely controlled, the key is to find that balance.
In principle, the Bank of China, like the Cabinet Ministers, is subject to the supervision and questioning of the Constituent Assembly, and every year, the Prime Minister has to deliver a policy address, the Finance Minister has to report on the budget, and the Bank of China has to make a report on financial security and development.
After the Constituent Assembly is passed, it can be formally enacted into law, promulgated throughout the world, and implemented.
In this way, a power structure with the Constituent Assembly as the core was basically formed.
But the question also arises: if there is a contradiction between the Constituent Assembly, the Cabinet, the bank, and other powerful yamen, how can they be resolved?
Could it be that they threw off their arms and couldn't fight? Isn't there another great chaos in the world?
At this time, the value of the Yang Ming Society appeared, and according to Tang Yi's design, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, the Chief Senior Minister of the Constituent Assembly, the Chairman of the Bank of China, the Chief of the General Staff of the Army and Navy, the Chief Judge of the Dali Temple, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., entered the Executive Committee of the Yang Ming Society.
Everyone is a member of the committee, and when encountering major government affairs, they first absorb the opinions of all parties within the Yangming Society, reach a broad consensus, and then hand it over to the yamen at all levels for implementation. Since everyone has endorsed it, whoever dares to pull back will be under unanimous pressure from all parties.
Tang Yi's interim administration is responsible for the operation of the executive committee of the Yang Ming Society.
Most of the time, Tang Yi didn't say a word, even if the people below were noisy, he didn't bother to speak. Compared with when he was the first assistant, he cherished words like gold. So much so that many people subconsciously ignored Tang Yi, the ruling party.
Gradually, everyone has become accustomed to this way of working, and everyone has become more and more proficient in playing their role.
Interestingly, Tang Yi chose Shen Shixing as his heir, but when facing Wanli, Shen Shixing appeared cowardly and incompetent, and was controversial, and many people wanted to replace him.
However, Tang Yi has not let go, and Shen Shixing can be transferred from the first assistant to the prime minister. What is surprising is that in the new operating system, Shen Shixing has superb skills and delicate style, and the most important thing is that he does not take credit, is willing to delegate power, is familiar with the operation of rules, promotes administrative affairs, is handy, and quickly regains his prestige.
It was only at this time that some people understood that this was Tang Yi's true intention in choosing Shen Shixing! What he needs is a well-kept prime minister, not a tough bureaucrat who can fight the emperor.
A demon like Tang Yi, one is enough, and the next prime minister only needs to follow the steps and be honest and obedient.
Of course, with such a big empire, there are a lot of problems, and there are always things that Shen Shixing can't handle.
"Teacher, the disciple has come to ask for advice." Shen Shixing found Tang Yi with a stack of urgent documents, his face full of guilt, "Since last winter, there have only been two light rains in the northwest, and there has been no rain in the Central Plains, and the weather has been dry and dusty for a long time. This year's grain production reduction is a foregone conclusion, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be less of these! ”
Shen Shixing stretched out a fist, a full 10 million stones!
In the past, the imperial court didn't even dare to think about it, how could it get so much food? can only let the common people starve to death, the imperial court at most symbolically take out a little grain, open some porridge factory, just deal with it, anyway, for thousands of years, it has been done like this.
"Don't worry about food." Tang Yi smiled faintly, "Ru Mo, three million stones have been shipped now, as long as the victims of the disaster in various provinces are registered, there will be no problems." ”
Shen Shixing was taken aback, "Master, this is not a small amount, can the Nanyang countries take it?" ”
"Hahaha, it's not Nanyang, it's India!"
Tang Yi took out a letter casually and stuffed it to Shen Shixing, and after a closer look, it was written by Xi Muyun. didn't get the credit at the beginning, but was injured and lost face, Xi Muyun was angry, and went to India without waiting for the injury to recover.
This guy sprinkled all his anger on the Indians.
He forced India to grow cotton and establish large plantations to supply the textile industry in the southeast. After weaving cotton cloth, it was dumped in India and destroyed India's handicraft workshops.
In the year of the disaster, instead of providing disaster relief and saving people, he forcibly requisitioned food, and on both sides of the Ganges River, cotton and white bones were connected, white and shocking.
"Alas, that is, Brother Qingchen, he can do it, these grains, every grain is stained with blood!" Shen Shi Xing is compassionate.
Tang Yi said lightly: "This is the case in the world, the weak eat the strong, if they don't starve to death, how can they fill the Chinese people!" ”
Master Gao sees that disciples are not bad people. It's just that the disciples feel that blindly being strong will cause dissatisfaction among the local people in India. The disciples were going to send some teachers, doctors, and monks to India to help the local people, and then allow the local intelligent and motivated children to come to China to study. ”
"Hahaha!" Tang Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, "Ru Mo, Ru Mo, you are the essence of running a colony, as a teacher, you can rest assured that the world will be handed over to you." ”
"Don't!"
Shen Shixing hurriedly waved his hand, "Master, I know how much ability a disciple has. With your old man's presence, the disciple has the courage to do whatever he does, and if you don't support the disciple, my heart will not be steady. Otherwise, if you work for another ten or eight years, the disciple will have another two years of term, and there will be no need to worry. ”
"Humph!" Tang Yi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How old are you, after going through so many storms, don't you have a bottom in your heart?" How much more can happen in this world? I didn't even have this responsibility, which really disappointed the teacher, and I was very disappointed! ”
No matter how Tang Yi scolded, Shen Shixing just laughed dryly, and his head was completely slippery, so that Tang Yi had no way to do anything.
But don't say it, the trouble is really coming...... In the year 4285 of the Yellow Emperor, in 1587, that is, the third year of Tang Yi's reign, the Wa Kingdom finally completed its unification.
After the reunification, the Wa State targeted the nearest Korea, and the Wa State Seki Toyotomi Hideyoshi led 50,000 horses to cross the Tsushima Strait and kill the peninsula, and in less than half a month, they took Seoul, and then it took less than a month to capture Pyongyang.
Compared with the speed of the Japanese army, what is even more jaw-dropping is the speed of the Korean rout, which took less than ten days to run to the Yalu River, and hundreds of thousands of refugees, flowing through shallow water, entered the territory of China.
Li Chengliang, the general in charge of Liaodong, immediately appealed to the cabinet and asked for advice on how to deal with it.
Along with Song Shu, there was also a blood letter sent by the king of Joseon, Yi Hao, who was really full of blood and tears, weeping and wailing, begging the country to send troops to help them restore the country.
"Brother Ru Mo, the Japanese country is rampant, it seems that we have to teach them a good lesson, and it will not be possible if we don't send troops!" Wang Xijue's attitude is clear.
"Don't worry!" Shen Shixing smiled slightly: "The matter of the Wa Kingdom is clearest about our junior brother, I will go and ask Ping An to see what he thinks." (To be continued.) )
