Yongwei quota is still said not to increase or decrease, and this will never be added, it sounds like it has thrown off the "no reduction". The imperial court now has an annual income of 30 million taels of silver on its books, but whether it is the treasury or the locality, the deficit is already a pot of scorched paste, and no one dares to expose it casually.

Over the years, the imperial court has been checking the deficit, and the root cause of the deficit is entangled, and it is really difficult to sort it out. There are not only officials who are corrupt, but also local financial resources, and many of the tail accounts of the previous military have not been cleaned up, and even the emperor has left a bunch of bad debts on several southern tours.

Everyone's eyes silently went back and forth, and they all remembered a past. In the 49-year Jiangnan deficit case, Jiangsu's political envoy Yi Sigong lost 460,000 taels during his tenure. Although everyone knows where the money goes, no one dares to say it, but the deficit has been revealed, and everyone from the county government to the governor has to pay compensation, and no one wants to bear this black pot. Zhang Pengxi, the head of the household department, went to Jiangnan twice, but he didn't find out, but in fact, he also pretended to be stupid with the local government and made an aggressive and strange thing. In the end, the emperor couldn't hold his face, and he had to admit that most of the deficit came from the Southern Tour, and he took out the money to wipe the matter.

Now the emperor continues to use his brains on this person's money and food, and he also says what "the treasury is full" in a grand manner, and the ministers who are in charge of a mess of practical things are sweating in their hands, if they really want to do this, in case there is a big demon moth in the Qing Dynasty, and they have to add more money and food, where will the face of this benevolent monarch be placed?

At this time, the ministers came back to their senses, as far as the 24th year of Kangxi, the emperor carried out nine provinces to be exempted, and in the past 50 years, he wanted to carry out a national exemption, but it was found to be unrealistic, and it was changed to a three-year round exemption. Listening to the emperor's meaning, he is really talking about things, and he wants to continue to contribute to his benevolent government and go further on his 60th birthday?

Originally, when it came to "forever as a quota", even if it was a gesture, it was all self-tied, everyone thought about coping with things, who knew that this Li Guangdi ran farther, and actually threw out a "never add endowment"! 【1】

After Li Guangdi, who was full of white hair on his braid tail, finished speaking, he turned his head tremblingly, glanced around the minister, and a trace of sarcasm flashed on his face. The princes of Gon Gon didn't understand the emperor's imperial heart, it was really a corpse vegetarian meal.

What a Li Guangdi, I really know my heart!

Kangxi pondered for a moment, tasted the meaning of these four words, and stretched out his heart. Yongwei quota and never endowment, the meaning inside is the same, but Yongwei quota said what to do, he and Hanlin didn't think of what to say, Li Guangdi made up this link.

"That's what I mean, Jin Qing...... What's the point? ”

Kangxi nodded, and glanced at the bamboo curtain on the side of the main hall again, and there was a notekeeper writing notes behind him, and he vaguely saw a figure working hard to write, it should be Zhang Tingyu. For this young courtier who is known for his prudence and calmness, he is very relieved, Zhang Tingyu should know how to remember these four words.

"Congratulations to the emperor! Never give more, this is a benevolent government that has not been seen for 3,000 years! ”

Li Guangdi shouted with a blushing face, knelt on the ground again, and led the ministers to quickly bow down and congratulate each other.

Hearing Li Guang talk about "benevolent government unseen in three thousand years", Kangxi coughed lightly, and at this moment he couldn't completely hide his emotions, and even waved his robe sleeves and signaled Zhu Qing to calm down.

Li Guangdi got up, and his words turned around: "However, the emperor has been exempted for many years, tired to tens of thousands, and there is a place where he is just exempted, and then he will do this unprecedented benevolent government, the emperor's favor is too heavy, and I am afraid that the small people will not be able to bear it." The ministers are requested to implement it in Zhili first this year, review the income, and then push it to the provinces next year. ”

These words made the ministers suddenly realize, what an old fox! Stuffed the emperor with a high hat that he had never had in a thousand years, and then pressed the practice to Zhili, Li Guangdi was the governor of Zhili before entering the cabinet, so he could naturally make this thing beautiful, and next year ...... Next year happens to be the emperor's 60th birthday ceremony, such a birthday gift, how can the kings of the past have ever had?

"They all say that I am a poisonous snake, but I think this Li Guangdi is the real poisonous snake. Forever is a quota, neither reduced nor added, but Li Guangdi has a mouth and only mentions that he will never be given, which has become 'a benevolent government that has not been added for 3,000 years'! The imperial court Ding silver is only three million taels a year, and it has always been unevenly collected, and it often causes local accidents. Many places are already leviing according to quotas, and the Guangdong Prefecture and County case is not because of the filth on this Ding Yin? I can't add it even if I want to. The emperor's mind was polished by Li Guangdi like this, it sounded quite big, but it didn't affect the money and food. This Li Guangdi's Taoist heart has reached the realm of Qiqiao and exquisite......"

The corners of Zhao Shenqiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he was the first to understand.

Then the other ministers also figured things out, and this was basically a matter of burning rotten meat into sauce elbows, which was both famous and profitable[2]. Li Guangdi's words polished this matter to a bright and clear point, no wonder this benevolent monarch would say, "Among the ministers, everything is for my family, and this is the only old minister!" ”

Without waiting for the ministers to express their opinions, Kangxi made a final decision: "This is very good, according to this meaning, the edict will be issued." ”

Kangxi drove away, and Li Guangdi came to the bamboo curtain on the other side of the main hall, and several Han Lin from the south study stood inside. Although they were members of the inner court, they could not speak at this court meeting, and could only hide aside to listen and record like the recorders.

Important documents such as edicts are basically drafted by scholars and bachelors, while documents with common surnames such as edicts are nominally also under the responsibility of scholars and bachelors, but they not only have to handle this chapter, but also have to take care of ministry affairs, and they are not busy at all, so they are basically handed over to Hanlin in the study room in the south of the country, and the scholars and others will check and review them, and then the emperor will read and decide on them. Today, the emperor threw out such a meaning, and asked Ming to issue an edict, Li Guangdi is here to find the person who drafted it.

Seeing Li Guangdi coming, Hanlin bowed and saluted, calling "Li Xiang".

"Repentance, you come to draft this edict, there is no need to mention the things of the foresight and the system of the scriptures, remember ......"

Li Guangdi looked around, and pointed to a Hanlin who was not much younger than him. This person is not only outstanding in literature, but like himself, he has also had big ups and downs, so he also changed his name and determined to do so, and it should be reliable to hand over this matter to him.

"This is all the emperor's arbitrary decision, and our courtiers are just making up for the gaps."

Check the prudence, the word repentance, to the Hanlin Academy to edit the south study, the braid is also gray hair. He was respectful to Li Guangdi, and he should have said yes, but it was not his identity, but he was recommended by Li Guangdi to enter the South Study.

"Breed people, never add endowment, well, just take these eight characters as the key......"

Sending Li Guangdi away, Cha Shenxing's brain quickly started, and Li Guangdi's instructions, he also knew in his heart. This famous minister's surname has been polished, and he doesn't want to take the lead in everything. Today's matter is too important, Li Guangdi has to come out to help the emperor, but he is absolutely unwilling to leave his name, so this edict has to be the emperor talking to himself, and no one else.

"In the past three thousand years, there are indeed few auspicious times in the world, but there is no one who has invited a name to be ...... now."

While typing the manuscript, Cha Shenxing scolded on the other hand, and then realized that this was a big rebellious thought, and glanced left and right in shock, and found that his colleagues did not pay attention, and occasionally secretly glanced at the eyes, there were both envy and jealousy, which were his familiar eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but a thin layer of sweat had already escaped on his forehead.

After explaining the draft of the edict, Li Guangdi walked out of the main hall and walked towards the wing room on the side of the main hall, where the dignitaries who participated in the court meeting rested.

As soon as he thought of the trivial matters in this chapter, the exchange of praise between the governor of Liangjiang, Kali and the governor Zhang Boxing, and the case of Dai Mingshi's "Nanshan Collection", it made him feel faintly irritable. Then I thought that the emperor was secretly working on the second abolition of the prince, and it seemed that the emperor's final test was really hanging.

Thinking of the final examination, Li Guangdi's mind turned to himself, where did he end his life? It seems that you have to make up for some virtue, Zhang Boxing can be guaranteed, and Fang Bao, who was involved in the Dai Mingshi case and is still in prison......

In the middle of his thoughts, Li Guangdi entered the wing room, and the Chinese scholars gave thousands of hands, Li Guangdi bowed his head slightly, saw the servant of the Ministry of Justice, and asked casually, "The question book of Yang Jin's knocking case, but you have all read it through?" ”。

Li Guangdi was originally the secretary of the ministry, and this case was also an important task of the ministry, and he always kept it in mind. Saltai nodded respectfully, and said that Li Xiang was assured that he would not dishonor the emperor's order and thoroughly investigate the matter.

"Thoroughly investigated? How clear is it? ”

Li Guangdi asked lightly, Sartai was speechless, he was a man from a budding background, how could he understand so many twists and turns in words.

"This case is the same as Jin Qizhen, the magistrate of Xin'an County, and the emperor also sent Tang Youzeng, the general political envoy, to be the same as you, what you want is not only clear, you have to think about it carefully."

Although Li Guangdi did not completely understand it, he still gave direction, and Saltai suddenly realized. Tang You, the political envoy, was in charge of the uploading and distribution of the imperial court's inscription book, what did he do in Guangdong? That is to supervise the homework handed in by the case, to ensure that there are no mistakes, and will never make the low-level mistakes of the previous Fujian Admiral Lan Li.

"The lower officials still need to investigate the Jingwen Daily and interrogate Yang Jin, but they can't do it for a while. If Li Xiangruo still has an explanation, taking advantage of this period, the lower officials can make more preparations. ”

As he spoke, Saltai thought to himself, settling with this Hanchen is not spineless, after all, people can solve the problem by opening their mouths.

Li Guangdi did have other expectations for Saltai, sat down on his own, and as soon as he spread his robe, he opened the conversation.

"After 47 years of banning mines, the number of miners in Guangdong has multiplied, and the nuisance of the villagers has continued. The emperor asked you to go to Guangdong, in addition to this case, he also asked you to observe the wind and visit, and the matter of banning mining in this place must be taken as a priority. The ban on mining is the foundation of our dynasty and has a great stake. The desire of the merchants is difficult to fill, and the people are attracted to abandon the crops after the mosquitoes, and the miners gather, and the disaster is contained in it. At that time, He Xi, a businessman from Shaanxi, opened a mine in Haiyang, Guangdong, and at the height of the ant collection of more than 100,000 people, he was careless, and the whole province was ...... erosion."

Li Guangdi is old after all, when it comes to this forbidden mine, he can't stop chattering, Saltai tried to keep his expression of listening to his ears, but he secretly regretted it in his heart, he knew that this old man hated the mine, and he was very energetic when he talked about it, so he shouldn't talk too much, and he didn't know how long it would take.

But Saltai then thought about it, and suddenly rejoiced, this is the perfect opportunity to receive a circle of filial piety silver! The heart of pleasure was soaked all over his body, and he didn't feel how hard it was to maintain this slight bowing posture, even if he stood for two or three hours, it was worth it.

It seems that he has to prepare to release some wind in advance towards the military and political officials in Guangdong, Saltai has his own little calculation, he naturally did not expect that the wind he wants to release will eventually blow on a little butterfly that has traveled through time and space......

[1: Kang Mazi engaged in "breeding people and never endowing people" on his 60th birthday, and Li Guangdi's role should not be small. After this old man entered the cabinet, Kangxi had to summon him to discuss every major event. According to the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty", in February 51, Kangxi issued an edict saying that "breeding people will always be quotas", requiring that it be implemented first in Zhili, which is the beginning of the "benevolent government" of "never adding endowment". 】

[2: Regarding the essence of this "never add endowment", it is a very big article, which is very deep, and there is no way to explain it for a while, so I can only point to it first, and then continue to talk about the plot. 】
