Chapter 324: Flying Cars

In the Wenhua Palace, it is still lively.

The ministers discussed how much money should be obtained for planting sweet potatoes in which county.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the upper, middle, and lower counties should be used to give sweet potato silver, the upper county, the financial resources are better, only three hundred li is enough, the middle county has poor financial resources, it needs six hundred taels, and the lower county, the poor are very poor, it needs one thousand ta......els," a minister shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, what Lord XX said is simply an inversion of my division of the upper and lower counties, the minister thinks, it is not appropriate, the minister thinks, the upper county, there are three hundred taels, but the medium county, only five hundred taels are needed, and the lower county, eight hundred taels can be ......"

The officials immediately argued with reason, and they all examined the basis for how much sweet potato silver should be allocated to each county.

Yang Reform listened hard, even if it is calculated according to the one thousand taels of the lower county, it is only one hundred counties, and it is only one hundred thousand taels of silver, an empire with a territory of thousands of miles, for tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is necessary to fight for this efficiency? Yang reform's unspeakable contempt.

"Okay, don't argue, how much is this money in total? Is it worth it for so long for our monarchs and ministers to argue in this Wenhua Palace? This money, I came out, the money was allocated from the internal funds, 300 taels in the upper county, 500 taels in the middle county, 800 taels in the lower counties, 500 taels in Sanzhou, and 300 taels in Zhili Prefecture...... "Yang Reform looks down on the bureaucrats who argue endlessly for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they all say that Bill Gates loses money and bends down to pick up money, but the core of the management of the Ming Empire, Sanzhang King Kong picks up sesame seeds......

Although the ministers were despised by the emperor, they didn't feel anything, the central government of the Ming Dynasty was used to living a hard life, and only a few million taels were solved to the household every year, and the silver that could really be freely transferred every year was more than tens of thousands of taels, all of which were rich years, for tens of thousands of taels, of course, they had to fight, and they had to fight, and the household department did not have silver than the emperor. Emperor, you are the God of Wealth, but we are called Hanako.

"Your Majesty Shengming......" Seeing that the emperor had made a fortune, the ministers began to come out and fart.

"Your Majesty Shengming...... Actually, the ministers all looked at the emperor's internal money, and they all knew that the emperor was rich, and he was not bad for money, so he was waiting for the emperor to speak.

"The people are blessed ......" everyone unanimously offered their sycophants. To tell the truth, no matter what, the emperor has a good, that is, spending money is refreshing, following the emperor who spends money refreshingly, and the people below are also refreshing, which is completely different from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Geng's sycophants heard a lot, and he couldn't stand it, so he pressed a few times with both hands, and said: "In the states and counties of Shaanxi, those who grow sweet potatoes and harvest sweet potatoes are all promoted in the top fifteen, and in the top thirty, the imperial court praises them, and the official assessment is listed as excellent, and they are given priority to be promoted; The last thirty were reprimanded by the imperial court, and the officials were classified as inferior, and the last ten were not allowed to be officials again within ten years, and all subordinate officials were demoted. "Yang Reform can't look down on the efficiency of the core management of the Ming Dynasty, and the whole thing is still touching, which is really old-fashioned.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone "coaxed" them.

The opponents are more fierce than last time, this time, the emperor has set a lot of precedents, and it is already very out of line to plant sweet potatoes to determine promotion, but I didn't expect that there would be people who lost their positions because they didn't grow sweet potatoes well.

"Your Majesty, all the top fifteen promotions? How many official positions does this have? Your Majesty, you can't sell your official position," a minister immediately came out to object.

"The county order has been promoted, the county has risen to the seat of the county order, the county has been promoted, the seat of the county has been promoted to the top of the main book, and so on. Officials, is there a problem with the fifteen officials? Yang asked sharply.

The official Shangshu was startled, and immediately replied reflexively: "No problem, go back to Your Majesty, since you have outstanding merits, you should be promoted, and it will definitely be no problem to arrange it." In fact, the emperor does not care about the promotion of county-level officials, even at the prefect level, he can't control it, only when he arrives in the province, the emperor will also ask about some of it, because the emperor's energy is really limited, and the emperor has to make great efforts to remember the names of officials at the central and provincial levels. In fact, most of the middle and low-level bureaucrats are operated by the ministry, and the promotion or non-promotion is all decided by the ministry. The official department was frightened by the emperor's algorithm, and the emperor is also a monster, I understand this official, the trick of promotion, it seems that there are dozens of people who have been promoted, but in fact, only a dozen people have been promoted, and this is learning. The secretary of the ministry was also afraid that the emperor would interfere in the affairs of his ministry and interfere in the promotion of middle and low-level officials on a large scale. ,

Yang Reform saw that the Ministry of Officials said that there was no problem, so he did not continue to ask, if the Ministry of Officials said that it was difficult, Yang Reform would use his own personal experience to educate the Ministry of Officials, and there can be more than a dozen mayors in a city.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not approve, where in this history are there people who lost their official positions because they did not grow sweet potatoes well? Your Majesty, this punishment is really too heavy, and there is no basis, Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate, please retract your order......" An official came out to object.

"Hmph...... I said, whoever dares to delay me for a while, I will delay him for the rest of his life, everyone, have you forgotten my words so quickly? I have only been in my hands for ten years now, and I have already taken care of your face, and I have already left room for some people. Yang Gai did not wait for the ministers to express their objections, and immediately pressed down with a high-pressure attitude, and began to speak aggressively.

The ministers shivered again. The matter of borrowing the head is vivid, although the head was not borrowed in the end, but, the feudal official of a province died like this, this death, but not even a bubble, it was over, and the death was still sneaky, it is worth thinking about.

Those who opposed it would have wanted to fight.

Shi Fenglai's megaphone is open again.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees, the minister said before, now, what is more important than saving millions of victims? Is it the official hat of a few people that matters, or the lives of millions of victims? The minister thought that only by such strong pressure would the states and counties take immediate action and attract attention, otherwise, wouldn't Your Majesty's millions of people starve to death? Shi Fenglai came out first and fired a cannon, this cannon exploded loudly, and the sound was high, heavenly reason, legal reason, reason, everything.

A minister came out and said a few words: "Your Majesty, isn't there Xu Zixian in Shaanxi?" How could the victims starve to death? This is impossible, therefore, Shi Shoufu's words are not credible, whether you grow sweet potatoes or not, and whether you starve to death or not, there is no necessary connection......"

"XXX, you old horseman, dare to say that planting sweet potatoes has nothing to do with the starvation of the victims? This year, Shaanxi has a large area of harvest, the victims will starve if they don't eat, they will starve to death if they don't have anything to eat, and there will be rebellion against people who starve to death, XXX, do you dare to say that planting sweet potatoes has nothing to do with starving to death? Do you dare to say that growing sweet potatoes has nothing to do with my Chaosheji? Do you know that sweet potatoes are drought resistant and have high yields? If you plant sweet potatoes, you will have something to eat, and you won't starve to death, do you know ......" Liu Yanyuan bombarded ......

This official is very hurt, and he has been scolded like this by Liu Yanyuan today not once, this is really hurt, and he immediately said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Liu Yanyuan scolded the minister............ "This official can't stand it, and he can't scold Liu Yanyuan, so he can only ask the emperor."

Yang Reform ignored him, some people should be scolded, waved his hand, and said: "Don't fight, everyone, this matter, I have settled, the hats of a few officials and the lives of millions of people, which is more important, I know ......, you should also be able to distinguish it, and don't persuade me, there is nothing wrong with doing this." "Yang reform with a tough attitude to set this matter, not only to plant sweet potatoes to set the promotion, but also to plant sweet potatoes for punishment, replanting autumn sweet potatoes, must be immediately spread throughout Shaanxi, the end of the Ming Dynasty this classic car, must drive the speed of the harmony.

Before the opponents could say anything, Bi Ziyan took over the conversation again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is too general to simply set the last thirty to be punished, if all the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi actively respond to it, replant sweet potatoes, and the yield is very high, Your Majesty still has to punish the last ten officials, wouldn't this be a big disappointment?" Isn't that unfair? Bi Ziyan seemed to be talking to the emperor about the problem, but in fact, in his words, he had skipped the discussion of whether to punish or not, but discussed the strength of the punishment and the details of the punishment, so that the punishment of replanting sweet potatoes could not become a reality in disguise.

Bi Ziyan's hand completely disrupted the rhythm of those who were still preparing for controversy, and everyone talked about how to punish it, and discussed whether to punish it......

"Well, indeed, this is a problem, then Bi Aiqing, you say, what should I do?" Yang asked Gengai. I was quite satisfied with this imperial party, this double reed sang really well, and in a few words, I got what I wanted to do.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a line should be set up, and the states and counties that have crossed the line can be exempted from punishment, for example, if each state and county can produce 100,000 stone of sweet potatoes, they can be exempted from punishment." Bi Ziyan said. ,

"100,000 stones? Master Bi, you're not wrong, right? In normal years, Shangxian only paid 100,000 stone of grain, how could it be possible to get 100,000 stone in this catastrophic year? One of the ministers exclaimed.

"XX adult, 100,000 stones seems to be a lot, but for sweet potatoes, it is not much, sweet potatoes can produce thousands of catties per mu, take 2,000 catties as an example, 100,000 stones, and only need 5,000 acres of fields, in a county in Shaanxi, 5,000 acres of fields is nothing, not to mention that the fields, ravines and rivers can be planted, and it is easy to survive, and easy to raise, as long as you put a little thought, this is not difficult, right?" Bi Ziyan replied confidently.

"But ......" The official was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. Some things, the more general the better, when it comes to detailed numbers, it's not easy to open casually, and there will be problems.

This economic account to calculate, the number of pendulum, immediately clear, 5,000 acres of land is really nothing, the standard of the county is less than 30,000 stone of grain per year, if a county pays 5,000 stone of grain every year, according to the Ming Dynasty tax rate is higher, there are tens of thousands of acres of tax land, and in the north, an acre of tax field often has several acres, or even more than a dozen acres of land [tax field and the actual field are different, because the yield in the north is low, so, often a few acres, or more than a dozen acres of land to pay the tax of one acre of land], so, five thousand acres of land is nothing.

The opponents smacked their lips, but still didn't say anything.

"Very good, Bi Aiqing's suggestion is quite good, so it is decided, if you can produce 100,000 stone sweet potatoes, you can be exempted from punishment, and when it comes to this year's harvest, I will send someone to check, if it is less than this number, don't blame me......." Yang Gai said viciously.

Looking at the emperor's cannibalistic appearance, the opponents rested, and this matter, it seems, cannot be opposed.

"The cabinet can send the detailed method of rewarding and punishing sweet potatoes, and I will send it out today, and send it to all the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi at an expedited speed of 600 miles, so that the prefectures and counties can receive the order and take action immediately, and in addition, I will also bring my words to the prefectures and counties of Shaanxi......" Yang Gai said.

Shi Fenglai immediately said: "Your Majesty, may I ask what you said." ”

"Planting sweet potatoes is just these few days, whoever delays me for a while, I delay him for a lifetime. This sentence must reach the ears of every state and county official in Shaanxi. "Yang Reform is ruthless and determined, let this classic car at the end of the Ming Dynasty soar, how can it be faster than one hundred and two, not to mention catching up with the Harmony, at least, it must also be super high-speed. Of course, the premise is that you have silver in your hands and a gun, and with these things, you can be hard when you should be hard, who dares not to listen to yourself? I don't mind borrowing my head again.

The ministers were frightened by the emperor's cruel words, the emperor is not like a master who just talks but does not practice, this master's head, there is a danger of being borrowed

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is really not very gentle, not in line with Your Majesty's status as a saint, the minister implores Your Majesty, retract this sentence, and use a more elegant ......" Shi Fenglai did not accept the order, but suggested a change of word to the emperor, this word is too ruthless, not like what the emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is too rude, Your Majesty, let's change it, if this word is recorded in history, it will be a stain that Your Majesty can't erase" Bi Ziyan also opened his mouth to advise, this is just to talk to the courtiers in private, if it is also mixed with the decree issued to the states and counties, this can be ironclad in the annals of history, this is a permanent harm to the emperor

"No, this sentence is very important, I must say this, and I must let every state and county official know and keep it in mind, I not only want to say this, but when the time comes, I will do this......" Yang Reform is determined to make the classic cars of the late Ming Dynasty soar to one hundred and twenty yards, and if he doesn't let go of some cruel words, those classic cars will not pay attention to themselves.

There are many people who ridicule the emperor in their hearts, and this kind of words can also be written in the annals of history? Written in this way, this emperor must have become a famous rude emperor in history, which can be passed down through the ages.

The people of the imperial party were in a hurry, they followed the emperor, naturally they did not want the emperor's reputation to be affected, and naturally hoped that the emperor would have a good reputation in history.

"Your Majesty, if you can't say this sentence, you can't say it according to the minister, why don't you say it on behalf of Your Majesty? Over there in Shaanxi, there are still a few students in the minister, but on behalf of His Majesty, he can convey this sentence to them, so that it will not hurt His Majesty's reputation, but also let them know the urgency of the matter, and it can be regarded as having preached in advance, and they will be punished in the future, so it is no wonder that others, Your Majesty thinks? "Shi Fenglai is not good at big things, but in this small matter, he can come up with a few ideas in a decent way, showing that I am a diehard loyalist of His Majesty. ,

"Your Majesty, the minister also has a few students in Shaanxi, and the minister is willing to pass down this sentence on behalf of His Majesty, so the minister will write to those students to inform them of the seriousness of the matter, and let them be sure to handle it quickly in accordance with the decree, and never slack off...... "A minister saw this big opportunity to pat on the back, and he was willing to let it go, and immediately sent his loyalty, and shared his worries for the Lord, this opportunity is rare."

When everyone heard, there was such a good thing? Where can you let go of this opportunity to worry about the king? One by one, they immediately stepped forward. They all said that they had a few students or knew a few people in Shaanxi, and they could pass that sentence on behalf of the emperor, so that the emperor would not have to record this sentence in the annals of history, and the emperor would not have to make a fool of himself.

Yang Reform was depressed, it was rare for the courtiers to work together once, not to mention, in ancient times, they still valued this loyal monarch very much, and stepped forward when the emperor needed it.

Yang Reform's willingness is to let the group of classic cars in Shaanxi soar, so he said something heavy, since someone is willing to contribute to let that group of classic cars soar, it doesn't matter who says this heavy talk.

Yang Gai nodded and said with a smile: "You Aiqing are really loyal ministers who share my worries, and I can rest assured that you Aiqing will share my worries, in this case, let's do this way, the cabinet, send the decree on rewards and punishments by planting sweet potatoes to Shaanxi together with your Aiqing's letters, six hundred miles urgently, and be sure to arrive as soon as possible." ”

"The minister's order ......," Shi Fenglai immediately agreed.

The emperor is smiling, the ministers are also smiling, and in the Wenhua Palace, it is rare to have a scene of harmony between the monarch and the minister.

……

A certain official in charge of the post delivery was about to go crazy in the face of these decrees and letters sent by the bigwigs in the court.

Usually with 600 miles expedited, that is a major military event, the general letter will not be too heavy, the number is scarce, so, hurry up, only to run fast, there like today, a few big burdens thrown on his case, all marked on it, 600 miles to send to Shaanxi, and then look at the address of the letter, involving the whole territory of Shaanxi, no, but every county in Shaanxi has.

The official in charge of the post office looked at these large piles of baggage stupidly, he was dizzy, he had never seen six hundred miles of expedited and loaded with baggage, and what was even more annoying was that he sent a few batches of baggage out, and now he sent a few more burdens. After the officials who wrote letters to the central government earlier, when they came back to tell others, they felt that they had a bit of weight, or the officials who were implicated in Shaanxi, began to write letters to Shaanxi, under the banner of sharing the emperor's worries, and they all wanted to use 600 li to expedite.

A henchman outside came running over, and shouted with a smile: "Master, master, good news, good news, the salary is going to be raised, the news just got, Your Majesty ordered to recruit more post guards in Shaanxi to deliver official documents, this post house seems to be getting more and more rushed......"

The official scolded angrily: "What a ......" and then asked, "Really?" ”

The scolded henchman was inexplicable, and he was scolded for some reason, and was asked by his own master, and said: "It's true, listen to what the old horse said from Lord Liu, this salary is issued by His Majesty, and this post house is getting more and more valued, and there will be a head start in the future." This henchman flattered him with a straight face.

"Alas...... it seems that this official also has to ask His Majesty to recruit more post men...... "The official lamented.

The henchman looked at his official master inexplicably, and for some reason, he saw that there were a few more burdens on the official master's case, and asked, "Master, is this also going to be sent out?" ”

"Well, I'll send it out today, it's all six hundred miles expedited."

"Ah......h
