Chapter 63: Hemorrhage

Yang Reform was really trembling with anger.

This is the legendary advice of the official?

Yang Gai felt that his lungs were about to explode. A petty official dares to contradict himself, if he doesn't use some means, then won't there be no stop in the future? Can anyone be angry at themselves? Wouldn't he be depressed to death? Someone else's gas bag? Yang Reform became angry when he thought of this. I want to play live PK with that official.

It's a pity that the more angry and excited I get, the more I have no idea in my heart. I have the urge to smash things, and I really want to dump that petty official with something. Yang Gengai thought that this was the "Palace Museum", it was his own home, and if he threw it away, he threw away his own things, and the things here were all priceless cultural relics in later generations, and he was reluctant to do it or not.

After sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, his anger gradually subsided. The brain is a little clearer, this should be a speech official, deliberately using fierce words to stimulate himself, in order to achieve the purpose of becoming famous, Yang Reform has also heard of the Ming Dynasty officials deceiving the "court staff".

……

The ministers below all looked at the young emperor with a blank eye, and there was nowhere to vent, and they all estimated that it was time to come out with the "court staff", and the petty official who made words to stimulate Yang reform, also stepped forward and raised his head, looking like he was at home, and it was estimated that he was also waiting for the emperor's court staff, and after the fight, he should be famous.

The Taihemen Hall is so eerily quiet.

Yang Gai's mind was tormented for a long time, thinking to himself, although he wants to write small characters and torture you people, but his starting point is good, in order to save money, now he is actually being said to be nonsense, and he feels very aggrieved in his heart. There is nothing wrong with writing small characters, and I will use small words in my future life.

Yang Gai thought about it, tried hard to calm himself down, felt that pure anger could not solve any problems, out of the "court staff" this thing, if he was the previous Chongzhen, a hairy young man, it is estimated that he would have used it, but he was a later generation, naturally knew the virtue of this Ming Dynasty official, he was a civilized person, and he was not interested in spanking people's buttocks, corporal punishment was wrong, stripping other people's pants, and he was even more hooligan, so he turned his head to Wang Chengen and said: "Big companion, is there a historian who records my words and deeds?" ”

Wang Chengen replied: "Your Majesty, yes." ”

"Well, very good, let the historian record it, I now call on the ministers to use small characters, write small characters, gather a few pieces of paper for a piece of paper, save money for the court, save expenses, what is that...... What's it called, speak out against me advocating frugality, say that I am fooling around, and let him record ...... truthfully"

Yang Reform's voice is not loud, it seems to be saying that Wang Chengen is listening alone. But the hall was extremely quiet, and the ministers could hear it clearly. They all felt cold at His Majesty the Emperor's approach. An idiom immediately came to mind: leave a stench for 10,000 years.

The official listened to what Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen, and immediately turned white, originally wanted to use fierce rhetoric to provoke the emperor, so that the emperor took off his pants and hit the board, so that he could become famous, but he didn't expect that the emperor could really bear it, and he didn't beat his ass, and asked the historian to record his opposition to the emperor's advocacy of thrift, so that he didn't have to rely on the "court staff" to become famous, and he would be stinking for 10,000 years. At the moment, I felt that the world was spinning, and the emperor's methods were too spicy. Immediately fell to the ground.

Many ministers were anxious, and when they saw that their colleagues were made unstable by the emperor, they immediately came out to intercede with the emperor, begging the emperor not to write like this, because if he wrote like this, this person was finished. All my life, all my life, and for hundreds of years after that, I was the object of spurning and ridicule from others.

There has always been only ministers who advised the emperor to save, thrift, and not to be extravagant and wasteful, and now the emperor himself has taken the initiative to be frugal and economical. This, really...... I can't turn my brain around! Is the sun coming out of the west now? Many ministers think so.

Yang Reform didn't give these people a chance, and before those people could stand up and speak, he jumped off the dragon chair and said, "Retreat." ”

……

There was a long "retreat".

The last early dynasty in February of the first year of Chongzhen ended.

The words of the ministers jumped to their lips, but the emperor retreated, and his breath was held in his throat, which was very uncomfortable. Looking at the back of the emperor turning away, many ministers felt that this emperor was a little strange and a little incomprehensible. Many people looked at the fallen official with pity, and felt that this man was very pitiful. This person is finished, and he is very unlucky. I'm afraid I'm going to commit suicide before tonight, many people think so.

As soon as Yang Gai left the main hall of Taihe Gate, he calculated his losses: "Big companion, tell me, what is white grain?" ”

Wang Chengen also had a sad face, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the white grain is the japonica and glutinous grain levied from the five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and the extra grain for the palace and hundreds of officials......"

Yes! So that's it! Yang Reform finally understood why those officials were proud, it turned out that their food supplies and subsidies were gone, and they even had to pay money to supplement the share of civil and military officials. Yang Reform screamed in his heart, the loss was huge, I don't know how many people in this palace want to rely on this to eat, how many people in this civil and military officials want to receive this rice, now "free", then you will have to pay for it, Yang Reform felt fear of the huge group of eunuchs and bureaucrats in the capital, there are too many people, and you will eat yourself poorly!

Yang Gai screamed in his heart, he was cheated by that group of people today, and he didn't know how much he had lost. asked Wang Chengen again: "Big companion, you said it is the Jiangnan Five Mansions?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, Jiangnan Wufu."

"I seem to have exempted four of them, doesn't that mean that only one place is exempt, doesn't that mean that more than eighty percent of the white grain will be subsidized?" Yang Gai lamented in his heart, he fell for someone else's plan, but fortunately, there are still two percent, and those ministers have not done anything perfectly.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes." Wang Chengen followed Yang Reform to the early dynasty, of course he knew how this monarch and minister fought the law, and he also expressed concern about the lack of eighty percent of the white grain this year.

……

Yang Reform is extremely depressed, today he lost a lot in the matter of white grain, and he didn't win by writing small characters that tricked the minister, but he got a small official, which is a small win, and today is a draw at most.

Yang Gai felt that the IQ of this group of people was not low, if he was not the emperor and held the initiative and the final decision, if he wanted to fight them, it was estimated that he would suffer a lot of losses.

……

"How much white grain was there in previous years?" Yang Reform was extremely depressed, so let's calculate how much he lost today.

"Back to Your Majesty, in previous years, the white grain was generally as much as 220,000 stones...... Wang Chengen also knew how big a blow this news was to the emperor, and in the end, the voice couldn't be smaller.

Yes! Thunderbolt on a sunny day! Yang almost fainted. Two hundred and twenty thousand stones? How much is that? Such a huge number, as expected, many people in the capital rely on this to eat, and now they are paying for it out of their own pockets.

"How much money do you have to pay?" Yang Gai's heart couldn't stop crying, my silver! I was originally a slave, and you people who have no conscience come to blackmail your own money.

Wang Chengen replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the price of rice in Jingshi has become more and more expensive, and the white grain is the best rice......

Two or three taels of silver and one stone of rice...... Yang Reform really collapsed. Wouldn't that mean that he would have to subsidize 660,000 taels of silver? These people have no conscience! Sure enough, I dug a big hole for me, and I jumped down excitedly! Yang reformed his heart and burst into tears again.

"Doesn't that mean that I want to subsidize eighty percent, and don't I want to subsidize five hundred thousand taels of silver?" Yang Reform's math scores were okay, and he quickly figured out how much he had to pay. The group of ministers did not do anything, five mansions, and one mansion was left for the emperor to eat new rice. It's enough to be interesting, I didn't let the emperor eat old rice.

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems to be ......" Wang Chengen's head couldn't be lowered, almost buried in his chest, His Majesty lost a lot of money today, don't provoke Your Majesty.

What a thunderbolt on a sunny day! Yang Gai's heart really hurt and hemorrhaged. Looking at the glorious "Palace Museum", I have the intention of demolishing and selling antiques and land, and I also have the intention of standing at the door of the "Palace Museum" to collect tickets.

Fortunately, Wang Chengen said again: "...... However, Your Majesty, there is still some old rice in the warehouse, which can be folded out ......";
