Chapter 44: Li Zicheng was laid off

The abolition of the world's post station, in the eyes of ordinary people, is not a good idea, nor is it a bad idea, it does not matter whether it is withdrawn or not, because there are benefits of withdrawing, and there are benefits of not withdrawing, and whether the benefits or disadvantages are great, it depends on what people say

The person on this fold, whose name is Liu Mao, is the sixth branch of the matter, a petty official, he gave a very high-sounding reason for the abolition of the post station, the abolition of the post station, can save about 500,000 taels of silver every year, which is a lot of expenses, and there is no post station, it can also prevent officials at all levels from going to the post station to rub the oil of the court, which is the best of both worlds. It is the officials of the country who eat the money of the post station, and the officials who have nothing to do to go to the post station to rub oil

He killed a boatload of people with this rod, and there were some officials who wanted to oppose it, because with these words, it was inconvenient to speak out You think, as soon as you object, you will become an official who has nothing to do to go to the post station to rub oil, and the officials of the country who eat the money of the post station will not withdraw the post station anyway, and it has nothing to do with himself, come out to charge this big-tailed wolf, pick up a scolding back, isn't it full of food, so there is no opposition, even Fang Ge Lao can't say against it directly, he first affirmed Liu Mao's point of view in the fold, The disadvantage is that the post station is a place to transmit messages, and without the post station, it must be inconvenient to pass military information back and forth, and there are those post feet that have been laid off, what do you let them do

After Fang Congzhe finished writing his opinions, he handed the excerpt to the celebrant supervisor, Zou Yi is a person who has seen the world, he also thinks that the abolition of the post station is not a very good idea, now the treasury is not empty, when Lord Yue was in power, he got a lot of silver for the imperial court, since there is no shortage of money, why bother to pass on the news, the post station for entertaining officials was cut but he didn't say much, just affirmed the views of Liu Mao and Fang Congzhe, and wrote that the current treasury is not empty, it can bear the annual cost of the post station, whether it needs to be abolished, Please also ask the emperor to rule

said that the emperor's ruling, in fact, it was not the emperor's mother's ruling Zhang Yan read Yue Sushang's recital, and then looked at this recital, feeling embarrassed in her heart, should this be withdrawn? Zou Yi is not bad, the imperial court is not bad for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver now, and the post station is a rule set by the ancestors, after all, he is a foreign surname, why bother to change it

Thinking of this, she planned to tell Zou Yi that this recital was in the middle, and she would talk about it later, without waiting for her to tell her to go down, there was a palace maid outside the door, saying that Mrs. Taikang asked to see her

After Mrs. Taikang entered the door, she first asked her to be in accordance with the imperial court system, and then, Zhang Yan asked her mother to sit down and don't look at the old lady Sometimes she is very unreasonable, but she is also a careful person, seeing the woman's solemn face, she immediately guessed that there was something difficult to decide, and asked at the moment

After all, it is her mother, Zhang Yan did not hide it, and told someone about the abolition of the post station, and said that he planned to stay in the middle of the post station, and said that he would talk about it later, saying that he was a foreigner, and the rules left by the ancestors of the Zhu family should be decided by their own Zhu family

Originally, as soon as the old lady heard that it was the abolition of the post station, it had nothing to do with her own wind and horses, and it was not a bad thing to be bad in Zhang Yan's last sentence, as soon as she heard her daughter say that this was the Zhu family's business, and the foreign surname should not be changed, the old lady immediately became anxious, and then said: "Daughter, you can't say that, although the surname of this Jiangshan Sheji is Zhu, but the emperor is your son Now the child is young, can not be in charge, big and small affairs, of course, you have to be a mother to decide the rules of the post station, don't look at the ancestors of the Zhu family, But at this time and at that time, there is a mistake, it needs to be corrected, otherwise, it will delay the right thing and have an impact on the country, outsiders will not say that the emperor has no way to deal with it, but will only buckle all the shit basins on your head, saying that you are indecisive and do not listen to the words of loyalty and good words to abolish the post station, I think it is feasible, daughter, you have been in the palace for a long time, but I don't know the disadvantages of the post station, the post station feeds so many idlers every year, not to mention, and the magistrate is still under the banner of the post station, filling his own pockets and those shameless officials, It's okay to always go to the post station to fight the autumn breeze, take advantage of the court, and after the shameful removal, it is for the benefit of the country and the people, a hundred years later, there will definitely be *** to praise, one said who set the mess right, made such a wise decision, did such a grand deed, the whole world can not say that it is your daughter so, daughter, you in this matter, do not hesitate, what scruples, as long as it is beneficial to the society, you should make a bold decision" The old lady can say this, it is by no means out of any righteous heart, She doesn't have that consciousness yet, but why did she say that, this is called the woman's mind, it is my daughter who is in power now, what ancestral system is not ancestral system, my daughter only needs one sentence, you can change who said that women have long hair and short knowledge, and they can't make important decisions, let the world see this time, the daughter of our Zhang family is by no means an ordinary character who said that the post station was withdrawn, and we will withdraw it

Zhang Yan is an assertive woman, but in the matter of abolishing the post station, she didn't know whether it was advantageous to withdraw or not to withdraw, so she decided to stay in the center, no matter but, now I heard my mother say this, and then I feel that it is also very reasonable, if I stay in the center, wouldn't it make people look down on me, and I won't dare to be the master when I encounter a big event, I will be the master for you today

So, Zhang Yan immediately asked someone to take Liu Mao's fold back to the celebrant and told Zou Yi that Liu Mao was allowed to play, but not all post stations were abolished, but streamlined, and a large number of post stations in some remote places or places where there was no war occurred, and a small part could be retained

Zou Yi naturally didn't dare to disobey the queen mother's wishes, so he had to let Liu Mingguo approve the quasi-performance, and stamped the big seal himself, so that it would be a certainty

******************************************************

The reason why Lord Liu Mao, who was on this excerpt, was so hot-headed and on such an excerpt, was also not out of any righteous heart and wanted to save money for the imperial court, the reason is this

Not long ago, Lord Liu and one of his own outside the house cheating, the location of the cheating, on the post station, I don't know how his wife knew, Mrs. Liu is a famous tigress, Lord Liu in front of his wife, there is no difference with a little lamb Mrs. Liu learned about this, with a group of rough hands and feet of the mother-in-law went to the post station to catch the adulterer, the post station foot saw this formation, do not have to think to understand what is going on, immediately go to inform Lord Liu, Lord Liu in the moment before his wife rushed in, the outer house hidden, But because his clothes were not neatly dressed, and there was a woman's fat powder fragrance on his body, he was still seen Mrs. Liu was angry, beat Lord Liu fiercely, and searched the outer house at the post station, fortunately, it was hidden secret, and it was not found that Mrs. Liu interrogated Yizu because she did not get the orders of Lord Liu, and did not dare to leak it, this time, Mrs. Liu was angered again, and when she heard the snickering laughter of Yizu, Mrs. Liu decided to take revenge

She is a woman, and she wants to take revenge on these post feet, which is impossible, and the only way is to coerce her husband, let him go to this book to ask for the abolition of the post station, and it can be regarded as a way to relieve his hatred Lord Liu did not agree before, but he couldn't help the coercion of his wife, and in desperation, he finally compromised, and he began to write vaguely in this chapter, and he planned to deal with things, but his wife actually checked it himself, and found that the bullshit written was not, so he gave her husband a beating, asked her husband to rewrite Lord Liu, and then he wrote a letter seriously, and with the approval of his wife, he sent it to the cabinet

Originally, Lord Liu thought that after this recital was sent, it would not be sent in the middle, and in the end, it would not be done, where did he think that because of Mrs. Taikang's sudden disturbance, it was actually approved

As soon as this fold was approved, most of the post station players were unlucky and went home one after another

Thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang set up a post station back then, it was of far-reaching significance, how could ordinary people understand that on the surface, the establishment of a post station can facilitate transportation, and the hidden meaning is to buy people's hearts and minds of many powerful people in the world, because they don't like to work, they devote themselves to the post station, do some simple work, and eat food These people have food to eat, the world is naturally more stable, and social security is also good, but now, these people are unemployed

Among the unemployed, there is an old brother, named Li Zicheng, alias Li Hongji, is a post man of Yinchuan Post Station Li Zi grew up tall and mighty, powerful and powerful, and also practiced martial arts, seven or eight people in front of him, are not opponents He also has a nephew, named Li Guo, working with him, this Li Guo is also a skill, it is said that the uncle and nephew were once ordered to mail goods, encountered a roadblock robbery, robbers have nearly twenty people, all are country men, as a result of the two of him punched and kicked, killed three, injured seven or eight, The rest all fled

What can you do if you let them off their jobs and can't find a job for a while? Of course, Li Zicheng did not choose to rebel immediately, but took his nephew Li Guo and those postmen who were laid off together to join the army, and the place where they joined the army was Shaanxi

Shaanxi's annual situation this year is very bleak, the sky does not rain, the land is dry, when it comes to the autumn harvest, it is described as no harvest with grains, although it is a bit excessive, but it is almost no grain in the field, and the people have to go hungry, but those rich people are still delicious and delicious, and they really respond to that sentence - Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road

There was no food, and the people had no money in their pockets, and the hateful businessmen were still sitting on the ground to raise prices, and the price of grain had risen sharply, and the imperial court sent people to relieve the disaster, after all, the treasury was not without silver, and the allocable grain and salary did not fall into the hands of the people, and they were all divided among the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who handled it

The common people couldn't eat, and in desperation, a man stood up, he led the people, announced an uprising, and the name of this person was Gao Yingxiang, known as King Chuang
