Although Gao Gong has a considerable degree of cooperation with the Jin Party, he will not be ambiguous when he encounters real problems. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Jingying is responsible for the safety of more than a million people, thousands of officials, and countless royal nobles.

The shortfall is as high as two-thirds!

This is a joke about the life of the emperor, the life of the hundred officials, and the safety of the capital! It's a complete crime!

It is imperative to rectify the Beijing camp.

This time, from top to bottom, the attitude was completely the same, Longqing fully supported, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were checking heads, checking corruption, and materials, and they were very busy.

The celebrant supervisor was not idle, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Yuma Supervisor sent capable generals one after another to strictly investigate the murderer who attacked Eunuch Su that day, and arrested hundreds of people in one go. As for those who ran to the military headquarters to make trouble, they were also driven back to the barracks and confined to them.

Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, closed the door tightly, and no guests were seen, and the old brothers of the past cursed wildly, just not giving them a head.

At this point, has Jingying become a piece of fish meat to be slaughtered?

Of course not!

With only such a little ability, someone has already cleaned up the Beijing camp, and it has been left until now.

From the beginning of the inventory of the Beijing camp, the public order in the capital was chaotic, and countless idlers, out of nowhere, came out of nowhere, robbed shops, injured hawkers, and even some ran to the yamen of the military headquarters to set fires.

Robbers were rampant in broad daylight, thieves were everywhere, and a large group of old and weak women and children were made, and they ran to the street and cried bitterly, and when they saw the carriage of the imperial historian, they stopped it, and shouted loudly, and if anyone dared not agree, they chased their butts and scolded them, and threw them with stinky chickens.

The good capital is like a ghost, the people are not tired of it, and there are even traders who huddle together to protect themselves, but now it is good, originally a group of people bullied one or two, but now it has become a fight between two groups.

The most worrying thing is the Shuntianfu Yamen, which has to arrest hundreds of people every day, sometimes even two or three hundred, and there is no time to interrogate, so they can only be stuffed into the prison.

Soon the prison was also full, and the disturbances continued unabated, and the Shuntian Mansion couldn't hold on, and the Jinyiwei side was also in a hurry.

The capital was in turmoil, and the cabinet could no longer ignore it.

Tang Yi summoned several cabinet elders to discuss countermeasures.

Gao Gong's attitude is still tough, and this one may not know what compromise means.

"The current series of chaos just proves that the Beijing camp must be rectified, and the three major battalions not only failed to protect the safety of the capital, but also became a fatal tumor. I propose to disband the two battalions of the Shenshu and the Fifth Army, select athletes from the nine sides, recruit children from good families, rebuild the Beijing camp, and resolutely kick out the soldiers! ”

Zhang Juzheng followed closely and also said: "In the past, we all thought that Jingying was just some black sheep, but now it seems that it is completely wrong, there are not a few good horses among them, and they are all scourges!" In the past 100 years, there has been nothing to do, several generations of father and son inheritance, these people can't hold knives and guns, can only carry bird cages, drink tea everywhere and listen to plays, pick quarrels and provoke troubles, it is really unimaginable that the imperial court has raised so many waste rice buckets. ”

Several other pavilion elders were also shocked by the situation in Jingying, Chen Yiqin thought for a long time, and said: "Gao Ge Lao, Zhang Ge Lao, I support the rectification of Jingying, but if they continue to make trouble like this, when will they be a leader?" I've heard that yesterday at the Guangji Warehouse, when hundreds of officials were given money, someone snatched the officials' food and salary on the way, and they simply became a group of bandits! ”

Zhao Zhenji has a deep understanding of this, just now Ge Shouli came to find him, full of complaints, this complaint!

Kedao is in the process of rectification, it turns out that a large number of Xu Party members have been demoted, and many officials with excellent official reputations and good abilities have been transferred.

As a result, there was such a thing, they went to receive food and salary, and on the way, many officials were robbed by the ruffians in Beijing.

At night, the whole family was hungry, and it was unbearable to bear it, and the officials demanded that people be mobilized into Beijing to arrest all the people in the Beijing camp and drive them out of the capital. They will also send people to intervene in the investigation, and they must find out the accounts of the past years.

The two sides don't give in to each other, and they are already more energetic, and it seems that if they don't make the fish die, there will be no goodness.

Zhao Zhenji pondered and said: "The problem of the Beijing camp has been around for a long time, tens of thousands of soldiers, plus their families, and generals, will almost affect about 200,000 people, which is as high as one-tenth of the population of the capital. It's not a sentence of dismissal, without food, they can't live a life, they have to make trouble, transfer troops from outside, and kill a river of blood, but don't forget, these people in Beijing have lived in the capital for generations, and they have been intertwined, and there are relatives everywhere. Do you want the lives of the capital to be ruined? ”

This time, Lao Zhao caught the door of his life, Jingying has experienced more than 100 years of development, and has become a billet tire, which cannot be cut or used, and it is not at all.

There were all intelligent people present, and they didn't even have an idea for a while.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Juzheng raised his head and said resolutely: "I think the layoffs must be cut, but they must give some subsidies so that they will not make trouble." ”

The idea is good, all of a sudden everyone came to the spirit, just how much to compensate, when it comes to money, they are all worried.

At present, the implementation is still the budget made by Xu Jie at the beginning of the year, and all kinds of expenditures have already been set, and the household department can not take out a tael of silver now, not to mention, and still owes a lot of debts, after Zhang Shouzhi's preliminary calculation, there are more than 12 million taels of silver in arrears of large account ticket numbers alone, even if people are willing to borrow, the imperial court may not be able to repay the interest.

Things froze again, discussed, discussed, Chen Yiqin said with a bitter face: "Everyone, why don't our nephews play lanterns - take care of Uncle (old)!" ”

Gao Huzi and Zhang Juzheng were unwilling, but they also tasted the embarrassment of holding back a penny to a hero.

"It is imperative to clear the acres of land and implement the new law!"

Zhang Juzheng did not mention the merger and levy of silver again, but only said that the Qingzhang field and acres were relatively small, but the implementation was extremely difficult.

He complained casually, unintentionally, Tang Yi suddenly said with a calm face: "Elder Zhang Ge, the financial reform has not come up with a strategy for a long time, I think so, it will be led by Elder Zhang Ge, one item of clearing the acres of land, one item of silver and grain, and -- the local taxes should be taken back to the household department, and the household department will prepare the budget expenditure in a unified manner, including the rice of the sect and the domain, all like this!" ”

didn't say much, but it was like a thunderbolt, exploding above the big guy's head, and many people were dizzy, including the bold Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, they didn't expect Tang Yi to dare to do this, it was crazy!

Many people ridicule the backwardness of the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue was very small, not even one-tenth of that of the Song Dynasty, which is also true and incorrect!

In fact, the total tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was not less than that of the Song Dynasty, and even considering the issue of tax rate, the economy of the Ming Dynasty was more developed than that of the Song Dynasty, especially after the switch, the trade surplus and the influx of wealth were incomparable advantages of the Song Dynasty.

So why was the Ming Dynasty always plagued by financial problems?

The problem also lies in the taxation of the Ming Dynasty, which has two important aspects: one is retention, and the other is shipment.

Retention is very simple, that is, the part left by the local government for its own use, this proportion is about 30%, which is used to pay for local administrative expenses, repair bridges and roads, build new schools, and so on...... The remaining seventy percent has to be handed over, which is actually quite reasonable.

It's complicated to get started.

According to common sense, the starting shipment is to be transported to the capital and handed over to the household department for unified distribution, isn't this the central and local financial allocation?

If you think so, it is a big mistake, in fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang planned the financial distribution, he thought that when it was transported to the capital and then distributed in a unified manner, it would go through too many officials, and it was inevitable that he would peel off his skin layer by layer, take off his pants and fart.

In the end, a small part of the remaining part will be transported to the capital.

After nearly two hundred years of reproduction, there are more and more descendants of the old Zhu family, and the food retained in the local area is not enough for the clan, the monks have more porridge and less porridge, and the wolves have more meat and less meat.

Tang Yi was well aware of the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty's finances, and when the country was recuperating at the beginning of the country, it was beneficial to the people to decentralize financial power and simplify administrative procedures.

However, after two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has been completely different from the beginning, and the challenges are varied, and it urgently needs to concentrate its finances and solve several major problems, instead of wasting its precious wealth on local trivial matters and the rice of the clan, which is simply a crime!

"Elder Zhang Ge, I hope you will work out a strategy, all the grain shipped from the local area will be put at the disposal of the household department, whether it is the local people and horses, or the clan's rice, all of them will be disposed of under the name of the household department. The last time you mentioned the examination method, I think this is a very good suggestion, local officials should be strictly managed, the finances should be overhauled, and you should discuss it with Gao Ge Lao and Zhao Ge Lao, and concentrate on the household department, the official department, the metropolitan procuratorate, and the three parties work together to solve the financial problem from the root! ”

Tang Yi was full of ardent hope, "Zhang Ge Lao, finance is related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, it is very important, not great courage, great determination, great perseverance, can not be completed, I hope you have the courage to bear it, as long as you come up with a feasible strategy, the cabinet must fully support, strong implementation, all major financial matters, by Zhang Ge Lao is fully responsible." ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes widened, his breathing was short, and Rao was also taken aback because of his concentration.

This is the fourth cabinet elder in charge of the cabinet, and it is basically the last one, Gao Gong is responsible for the governance, Zhao Zhenji is responsible for supervision, Tang Ruji is in charge of the military system, as for the most important finance, Zhang Juzheng has always thought that Tang Yi will take it in his hands, after all, he is recognized as a master of financial management.

But I never imagined that Tang Yi would throw it to himself, not only giving him the power of financial reform, but also throwing out the test method.

With these two items, the reforms that Zhang Juzheng has been longing for can be truly implemented. He tried his best to seize the position of Shousuke, and what he wanted to do was nothing more than these two things.

It was so easy that it fell into your own hands, isn't it a dream? (To be continued.) )
