Chapter 167: Training Fees in the Ming Dynasty
Yang Reform crackled with his own calculations.
The ministers also made their own calculations, Liu Jishan's suggestion of this "official" with official qualities, that is, not to offend the imperial examination system, nor to offend the national eunuch; It also provides a way for people to enter the government, and provides a feasible way for the imperial court to donate. At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all had a new view of this "villain".
"Liu Aiqing's method really solves the urgent need of the imperial court, do you have any objections? If there is no objection, then the matter is so decided. Yang Reform smiled from ear to ear, this is specially for people to open the back door, collect people's "training fees", and then let them take up posts, this matter, Yang Reform is familiar, this matter, in the 21st century, is not uncommon.
Yang Reform, who wants to understand, thinks that this Liu Jishan is so cute, just with this trick, his college town will probably be full this year! The people who can't be officials have been accumulated over the past decades, and those who can't pass the Jinshi exam, haven't they broken the threshold of the country's eunuchs? I should be able to get a bumper harvest this year, and the scene of 10,000 people going to school in my mind may really work. The amount of this official is limited, this official, at least ten times the number of officials, if you can, you can also expand the number of this official several times, so, in the first few years, it is difficult not to make money.
However, someone still came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the number of eunuchs in this country should be strictly controlled, otherwise, even if the number of officials in this official yamen is not enough for these prisoners!" What's more, after this, these people still have to be given official positions, but at this time, the imperial court cannot give official positions, which is also a distrust in the world! One minister voiced his concerns.
Yang Gai felt that this person's "vision" was too long-term, and he wanted to save the emergency in these two years, what else are you talking about in the future, if you want to put these people in prison, you have to read at least a year or two, and then go out to go through the calendar, another year and a half, and then go to be a "official", which will take many years, and the day he really enters the office, it will be at least four or five years later. Yang Gengai thought that after four or five years, he would be able to open a few more departments, such as the "Patent Office" and the "Customs and City Department", which would just give these officials a way out, and this could be regarded as a good way to make money. The "training fee" before taking up the post is familiar to Chinese.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to worry about this, the old minister reported to His Majesty earlier, this is now the imperial court is in a hurry, the expenses are huge, and I have to donate and lose, I want to be a few years later, the imperial court's income is abundant, and there is no need to open the regular prison of the country, this will happen later, there is no need to worry about it at all, Your Majesty's move is just to give the world a hopeless lifter, a way to get into the body, it must be supported by the people of the world!" This minister is anxious about the reform, thinks about what the emperor thinks, and gives the emperor ideas and suggestions, just like the emperor's intimate minister.
Yang Reform was also surprised, wasn't this official the zealous person who told him that he should not raise more than 1,000 prisoners before? What a warm-hearted! Until now, they are still helping themselves to speak, and the reaction of this group of ministers today is even more strange.
Yang Gai was also full of curiosity about this person, and asked Wang Chengen in a low voice: "Big companion, what is the name of this person?" I think he's good. ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this person's name is Bi Ziyan, a virtuous minister recalled by His Majesty, and now he is a waiter in the household department, and he is very proficient in financial management." Wang Chengen explained in a low voice.
"Bi Ziyan ......," Yang Gengai muttered quietly.
The minister who was recalled after he ascended the throne, it seems that it should be the predecessor of this body, otherwise he has no impression at all, he is proficient in financial management, Yang Reform is interested, and his own household department is still lacking such a person who can manage money. Since this person was recalled by his predecessor and should be regarded as his own person, Yang Gai decided to investigate it for a period of time and then reuse it.
"Well, I think what Aiqing said is reasonable, I think that the treasury has been completely empty in the past few years, in order to temporarily tide over the difficulties, this national prison has been opened, and after that, this national prison will be reopened or not, it is still unknown, and those who want to raise the prison should be said to be raised early, otherwise, after this village, there is no such shop, hehe, don't worry about Aiqing." Yang Reform smiled, this idea is really wonderful, it is not uncommon to collect "training fees" to work, why can't you think of it? This Liu Jishan really reused it, but it helped me a lot.
The courtiers on the ground, who were "surprised" by the emperor's words, basically stopped talking, and the ministers who had already figured it out felt that there was no objection to this matter.
A minister came out again, this time not to mention the matter of raising the eunuch: "Your Majesty, the minister has no objection, but the minister thinks that all the donations of the eunuch should be returned to the treasury, so as to relieve the pressure on the court's expenses." ”
Yang Reform is stupid, if it is all returned to the treasury, why is Zhang Luo, who is so anxious, doing this? Looking for a draw?
"Alas...... It's hard for me! I have to support the expenses of this palace and hundreds of officials, pay the army, and support the household department, but I am also short of money! This Aiqing, why don't you think about me? Yang Gai immediately came out to cry poor and pretended to be pitiful.
The minister didn't expect the emperor to come out crying so "facelessly", and claimed that he was not thinking about the emperor, so he was startled, so he had to grin and say, "Then please ask Your Majesty to decide." I have never seen such an emperor who "only loves money, but not face".
"Then it's five or five, half of it will be solved to the treasury, and half will be solved to the internal treasury, this matter is decided, the reopening of this national prison is a big deal, I am also studying in the national prison, for the convenience of management, I have to send an important minister to watch, so let's do it, this matter will be handed over to my master Xu, Xu Guangqi will be responsible,...... In addition, this matter, Bi Ziyan, Bi Qing's family said very much, and he understands financial management, Bi Aiqing, go to assist Master Xu to handle this matter well, well, this matter of opening a prison is Liu Jishan, Liu Aiqing proposed it, and it should also be rewarded as a meritorious person, Liu Aiqing, you also go to assist Master Xu, okay, this matter is like this, the specific details, after the three of you discuss, report to me. Yang Reform immediately came to a five-fifty account, and without waiting for the ministers to react, he gave the person in charge again, and now, all the people in charge of this matter are "their own people", this, it's really good.
Liu Jishan is also a director, as soon as the emperor's words fell, he immediately came out to thank him, and he also followed Xie En, and cooked this matter into cooked rice.
The ministers even looked sideways at the performance of this monarch and minister, this is too fast, this is too beat, many ministers haven't figured out what is going on, and this favor is over. Thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to lose, so I just give up.
Yang Reform does not expect that the donations of this country can be taken by himself, this household has no silver, and the ministers in the court will definitely not rely on it, besides, the household has no silver, and it is not their own money to go out to pay in advance, rather than carrying a reputation of "looting money", it is better to divide the account in five or five, and this group of ministers will have nothing to say.
