Li Yuntian felt that the voice of the opponent sounded somewhat familiar, so he looked sideways and saw a middle-aged civil official with a lean Chinese character face of medium stature bowing to Emperor Xuande with a stern expression.

Looking at the middle-aged civil official with a national character face, Li Yuntian's face couldn't help but show a sad look, a lot of changes had taken place in the capital in the nearly four years that he had been to Jiaozhi, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

This middle-aged civil official who opposed the preparation of the water division was Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, died of illness in the fifth year of Xuande, so Emperor Xuande asked Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Household was actually in a state of vacancy in the Ministry of Households.

Because he was also in charge of the affairs of the household department, Hu Ying wanted to stand up against the matter of the water master, because the household department could not come up with such a large sum of money in the treasury.

"Hu Shangshu's words are wrong, the Japanese invade my coast frequently, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, my Ming Dynasty's annual losses are equivalent to millions of taels of silver, Hu Shangshu has ever calculated?" Just as Li Yuntian was looking at Hu Ying, a cold voice made him come back to his senses, and Zhang Hao, the Duke of Yiguo, looked at the middle-aged civil official with a stern expression and said.

"Yiguo Gong, the official can't do anything about it, the household department has limited money and food, and the imperial court has a lot of expenses in various places, so it is really impossible to support the expenses of the water master." Hu Ying glanced at Zhang Hao and replied quietly.

"According to Hu Shangshu's meaning, the matter of the water master is insignificant?" Zhang Hao suddenly sneered when he heard this, and asked in a cold tone.

"Yiguo Gong, the expenses of the sailor and the imperial court in various places are important, but there are things that come first and come later, and some of the expenses of the imperial court in various places have been set a few years ago, and they are all related to the livelihood of the people of my Ming Dynasty, so the affairs of the sailor can only be postponed and discussed, otherwise the only way to tax the people is to do so, but this is contrary to the holy will of the emperor and the people to rest."

Facing the aggressive Zhang Hao, Hu Ying did not answer directly, but avoided the truth and explained in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, the Jiaozhi Political Envoy had a total of 200,000 taels of surplus silver last year, and it is expected that this year's surplus silver can reach 500,000 taels.

Zhou Zheng's brows suddenly frowned when he heard this, how could he not hear Hu Ying's perfunctory meaning, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Yuntian took the lead and took the lead in saying to Emperor Xuande.

Although Li Yuntian has not been in the capital all these years, he knows the affairs in the capital well, and knows that in the past two years, the civil officials and military ministers have fought fiercely for the political situation in the court, and they all want to overwhelm each other, so every time the two sides have to quarrel with each other.

It is worth mentioning that the contradiction between the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Household Department has a long history, although Emperor Hongwu set the military system of cantonment, so that the guards rely on the military households to be self-sufficient, but the construction of weapons and other funds still have to be allocated by the Household Department.

How could the household department let the governor's office of the five armies get his wish, so he tried every means to prevaricate and perfunctory, and the two sides clashed over money.

Li Yuntian did not want him to get involved in a dispute between civil officials and military officials as soon as he returned, and according to the current situation, more civil and military officials would inevitably be involved, so he came forward to settle the dispute.

Although Li Yuntian had a surplus of 300,000 taels of silver last year in Taiyuan Prefecture and other state capitals that Li Yuntian first operated, the other state capitals in Jiaozhi and the state capitals in Zhancheng did not have much surplus silver because they were in the period when Li Yuntian was exempting and exempting taxes, so Li Yuntian put another 100,000 taels in it, so the surplus silver of the Jiaozhi Political Envoy was only 200,000 taels.

This year, the time has come for the other state capitals in Cochin to reduce or reduce taxes, so the agricultural tax collected by the political envoy of Cochin will at least double this year.

When the deadline for tax reduction and exemption in the prefectures of Champa is completed next year, the agricultural tax collected by the Jiaozhi Political Envoy will be doubled, and the Jiaozhi Political Envoy will have more funds to invest in economic construction.

With a bang, after hearing that Li Yuntian actually said that Jiaozhi had more than 200,000 taels of silver last year, the civil and military officials in the main hall couldn't help but stir, everyone knew that Jiaozhi was not only a barren and barbarian land, but also experienced several years of war, which can be described as full of devastation and miserable.

However, it is simply unbelievable that Li Yuntian has made a surplus on the books of the Jiaozhi Political Envoy in less than four years, and there are as many as 200,000 taels, which is simply an unbelievable thing.

Even if Li Yuntian organized an overseas trade in Jiaozhi and had some silver on hand, in the eyes of everyone, those silver were undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the mess in Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, how could Li Yuntian still have so much surplus silver in his hands? And this year's surplus silver has increased to 500,000 taels.

Moreover, few people in the DPRK and China believed that Li Yuntian would use all the silver earned from overseas trade in a barbarian land like Jiaozhi, and he would definitely make a lot of money from it.

"It's a workaround." Emperor Xuande was very satisfied with Li Yuntian's suggestion, originally he wanted to take out the silver taels from his inner treasury to form a water division, but since Li Yuntian had already opened his mouth to accept this matter, then he agreed to push the boat down the river, and now the Ming Dynasty needs to spend more money, and the silver in his inner treasury has other uses.

"Zhen Wuhou, since the ships on the sea of the Ming Dynasty are now under the name of the Jiangwutang, then the sailors will also be prepared by the Jiangwutang." Subsequently, Emperor Xuande pondered for a while and gave Li Yuntian a big gift, but he knew that Li Yuntian had been working on the idea of a sailor for a long time, otherwise he would have taken over all the fleets and personnel of Zheng He's voyage to the West.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Li Yuntian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, with Emperor Xuande's edict, then he could manage the affairs of the water master openly and honestly in the future.

At this time, Dogesa and Lunders in the main hall couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes were full of strange looks, if the two of them were not mistaken, Li Yuntian told them Emperor Xuande to let him form a water division, and the two of them could serve as a water division, thus eliminating the last trace of concern in their hearts.

Judging from the scene in front of him, Li Yuntian did not tell the truth at that time, but he finally obtained the power to prepare the water division, which means that the two of them can enter the water division.

For Emperor Xuande's decision, no one objected to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, not to mention that Li Yuntian had already rowed the Ming Dynasty's sea ships to the name of Jiangwutang, and no one could raise military funds for the sailors from Jiaozhi alone, so no one had any reason to object, let alone provoke Li Yuntian in this matter.

In addition to the generals of the counterinsurgency army, the civil officials and local officials of Jiaozhi who went with the army were also rewarded by Emperor Xuande for their meritorious work in quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion and governing Jiaozhi.

Zhang Ben was crowned a young master by Emperor Xuande; Huang Fu was crowned as a young protector, because of his advanced age and Emperor Xuande transferred him back to Beijing to serve as the head of the household department, so far, the position of the head of the household department that had been vacant for a year and a half was finally settled; Li Qingzheng was transferred back to the capital to serve as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

After rewarding the meritorious ministers of Jiaozhi, Emperor Xuande issued two holy decrees that had a far-reaching impact on the Ming officialdom, the first holy decree was to formally establish the post of governor in various places, and the second holy decree was to stop the nano atonement case.

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu sent the crown prince Zhu Biao to inspect Shaanxi in the name of governor, which was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty that the name of governor appeared.

In the nineteenth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle sent ministers to patrol the world to understand the people's sufferings, and then there were ministers who were ordered to go to various places, or interviews, or inspections, and returned to the dynasty after the fact, so that the post of governor gradually became active in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Xuande felt that the three divisions were not subordinate to each other and were in their own affairs, which was not conducive to the implementation of local government affairs, so he decided to set up a special post of governor at the local level to command the three local divisions.

In this holy decree of Emperor Xuande, Zhao Xin, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, was appointed as the governor of Jiangxi; Zhao Lun of the Ministry of War, Zhao Lun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Households, the rank of governor of Zhejiang; Wu Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is a member of the Ministry of Rites, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is the governor of Huguang; supervised the imperial history, Yu Qian hung the right attendant of the military department, and the rank of governor of Henan and Shanxi; Cao Hong, a member of the Criminal Department, hung the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and served as the governor of Beigi and Shandong; Shi Zhouchen, the governor of the Yue Prince's Mansion, was appointed as the governor of Nangi with the title of squire of the Ministry of Works, and the governor of the tax and grain to pacify the locality.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the governor set up by Emperor Xuande was still in the nature of temporary dispatch, and he was reinstated after the completion of the matter, without demarcating a fixed area, not bringing his dependents to his post, and without a special government office.

This can be seen from the level of the governor officer, taking Yu Qian, the superintendent of the imperial history, as an example, his grade is only the seventh grade, which is his actual grade, and the grade jumped to the third grade after hanging the rank of the right attendant of the military department.

However, since the title is temporary, once Yu Qian returns to Beijing after his term as governor ends, the title will be cancelled, and his grade will be restored to the seventh grade.

In the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, the governor gradually became a local substantive position, which was held by the members of the second and third grades of the imperial court, and became an out-and-out feudal official.

In the fourth year of Jingtai, that is, in 1453, there were conflicts from time to time because the governor and the governor were complementary to each other and there was overlap in their responsibilities and powers.

In layman's terms, the governor and the governor are both sent by the emperor, and the rank difference between the two sides is not large, so it is inevitable that they will compete with each other for the power to supervise local officials.

In order to resolve the conflict between the two, Emperor Jingtai added the title of the right deputy to the governor, which increased the authority of the governor, made the governor subordinate to the imperial history, and formally established the governor's yamen, and the dispute between the governor and the imperial history came to an end.

Later, Ming Shizong made the governor of the military affairs in the area under his jurisdiction serve for three or five to one or twenty years, as if he became a local governor who oversaw the administrative, supervising, and military power of a province, and an out-and-out feudal official.
