Chapter 225: Draw a Giant Picture Cake
"At this time, except for the inner court that can get this silver, I'm afraid it ......" Chen Xun was very bold.
Yang Pu glanced at Chen Xun, let the emperor take the money, are you dying?
"Then you can only print money!"
Yang Pu was stunned for a moment, printing money is to drink to quench thirst, and now the Daming treasure banknotes circulating in the outside market have always been less than two pennies.
Thrown on the street, no one picks it up, no different from straw paper.
Since the issuance of the Daming treasure banknote, the value has been depreciated again and again, and it is obviously impossible to make up for this hole by printing money.
"Then I'm out of the question, Old Yang, can you show me a clear way?" Chen Xun really has no choice.
He doesn't have the ability to turn stones into gold, and he can't conjure money out of thin air.
"As for money, Lord Chen should go to the household department to discuss, the old man is not in his position, he doesn't seek his own government, not to mention that the old man can't change money?" Yang Pushu was embarrassed.
"The household department gave me two words, no money!" Chen Xundao.
"Can't the household department think of a way?"
"I forced Lord Wang to find a way for me, and he said that he could make up to 50,000 taels, and if he had to do the rest, there was a way." Chen Xun smiled bitterly.
"What's the solution?"
"Sold the household yamen!"
Yang Pu was stunned for a moment, and immediately couldn't help but show a trace of an embarrassed smile, the court is really sad this day.
"There's no other way?"
"Elder Yang, this year is approaching, everyone is thinking about their own affairs, who wants to care about the difficulties of the court and the bloody battle ahead. Finally, the class teacher returned to the court, and if the court didn't have a reward, it would be fine, but among the soldiers who sacrificed, they should be compensated, and the guards should be established, and the money and food will always be allocated, right? β
"Is it possible to let the salt merchants in Jiangnan get together some first to make up for the urgent need?" Yang Pu said slowly.
"In the past few years, the imperial court has borrowed money from the salt merchants several times, but the salt merchants have also complained a lot and borrowed again. They may not want to! β
"These merchants took advantage of the policies of the imperial court to get rich one by one. The court has difficulties, let them help, but they complained, what kind of truth is this? Yang Pu scolded lightly.
"That's right. But the court can't force them to pay. If it provokes the anger of the people, it will not be good. Chen Xun was embarrassed.
There is no one behind any of these salt merchants. Forcibly expropriating the strong faction, that will not work, once it provokes a collective backlash from the salt merchants. That's no joke.
"Master Chen, the old man, the blood congestion in my brain has not been completely cleared, and the doctor instructed me not to use my brain excessively, and I have to rest and recuperate, so I will accompany him less." Yang Pu closed his eyes and said slightly.
Chen Xun was stunned for a moment, this old man clearly meant to send off guests.
With a wry smile, Chen Xun got up and said, "Disturb Elder Yang, the next official will retire!" β
"Dan'er, send Master Chen for me!"
"Hey, Daddy!"
"Lord Chen, please!" Yang Dan took a step forward and said.
Seeing Chen Xun away, Yang Dan quickly returned to the living room.
"Dad, why didn't Lord Chen say anything about impeaching Jinyiwei?" Yang Dan held back his stomach for a while, and he could finally ask.
"This is the proper duty of the cabinet, if he asks me about this matter, it will seem that he has no opinion as the second assistant, how can he compete for the position of the first assistant?"
"Then when the king returns to the court, what about the court's mercy and rewards?"
"He came to ask me for advice, in fact, he knows these methods as a cabinet assistant, but he can't make up his mind which one to use, so he came to ask me!" Yang Pu said, "Actually, neither method is a good way, this is the reason why he can't make up his mind!" β
"Got it."
"The treasury is empty, this dad believes it, but he says that he can't get this money, dad doesn't believe it, it must be the household department that has set up obstacles for him!" Yang Pu said slowly.
"Is it for the position of the first assistant of the cabinet?"
"You know, there are some things that don't need to be said!" Yang Pu said, "However, I still hope that Chen Xun can go further, so no matter what I talked to him today, even if I didn't say anything, the signal released is that I, the former cabinet minister, support Chen Xun." β
"Then Dad, do you support Chen Xun?"
"I didn't say anything, I just met my former subordinates and colleagues, is this also a taboo?" Yang Pu smiled, "Dan'er, if you can understand the truth here, it will be more than enough to be an idle official." β
"The child has been taught!" Yang Dan hurriedly leaned over and said.
Guo Nu's pressure was unprecedentedly huge, not to mention burning a fire inside Jinyiwei, but also burning a fire in the capital.
After the internal fire was purged in the previous stage, there was no great turmoil, and so far, there were voices of dissatisfaction and opposition from within, but no expression had come out, but Guo Nu did not relax.
Any strong fortress is breached from the inside, this sentence was said by "Meng Yan", and he felt that it made a lot of sense!
The eight new regulations, which can also be said to be the eight new policies, must be implemented, otherwise there will be no way to carry out the next reform of Jinyiwei.
The pressure is unprecedented, and at this time, Guo Nu's years of layout work are revealed.
Stabilize the Jinyi Wei and be invincible!
For three days in a row, every night, Guo Nu convened officials from thousands of households including deputy thousands of households to hold a meeting to study and unify their thoughts!
This is also the construction yì proposed by Meng Yan, the effect is very good, and then it is conveyed layer by layer to ensure that the entire Jinyi Wei is united and united!
The main purpose is to reshape the spirit of loyalty, martial arts, honesty and self-discipline.
There is also a briefing on the possible reforms of Jinyiwei in the next step, which is the most fundamental purpose!
According to the rules, Meng Yan was not qualified to attend such a memory, but he attended every night.
But he can only listen, not speak, and he can be regarded as a familiar face.
Most of the officials of Jinyiwei are still relatively friendly to Meng Yan, after all, now that Guo Nu is in control of Jinyiwei, the original cronies and subordinates under his command have either taken up important positions or been promoted. There is quite a sense that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven.
Jinyiwei has changed the chief officer, and personnel adjustment is a must, which is also a common rule in officialdom.
There's nothing to say about this, you can leave if you don't do it.
But there are also some people who are not very friendly, mainly after some meritorious nobles, these people look down on the grassroots class like Meng Yan.
Of course, they are not stupid, who is in power at the moment, and Meng Yan is a bold lord. Really follow him. That's either dead or wounded, and against such a person, you must first have the courage to deal with possible revenge!
Plainly. These people are cold and noble on the outside. In fact, he is cowardly and cowardly in his heart.
These people occupy a lot of high positions in the Jinyi Guard. Inheriting the remnants of their ancestors, these people have long since degenerated.
It's not obvious yet, wait a few decades. The imperial court will be overwhelmed by the need to support these people.
"Stone, after three nights of meetings, what do you think of the current situation of Jinyiwei?" It was the first time that Guo Nu had asked such a big question to Meng Yan.
"There are many drawbacks, if there is no change, it won't be long before Jinyiwei will completely deteriorate and rot, and then become a vassal of Dongchang!" Meng Yan said unceremoniously, in fact, the further Jin Yiwei went, the more depraved he became, unless he met a strong commander, who had always been under the supervision of Dongchang and became a minions of the eunuch party!
"Yes, there are too many officials, it's okay for more than 1,000 households, 100 households have no fixed number, and these many people are hereditary 100 households as soon as they come in, and they are overwhelmed!"
"It is very difficult to reform institutions, systems and personnel, and the internal resistance is already very great, not to mention the external ones."
"Stone, what do you think, just say it, we two sons-in-law, there is no taboo?" Guo said angrily.
"Abolish redundant personnel, formulate a set of assessment methods, and implement the mechanism of those who are capable and those who are mediocre to go down, especially to promote some grassroots Jinyi guard captains, and give them a channel for promotion." Meng Yan Road.
"What about the people who have been laid off?"
"Raise it first, there will always be a way, of course, if you want everyone to be satisfied, it's impossible." Meng Yan Road.
"That's a lot of money!"
"This expenditure is made by the imperial court itself, if there are not so many hereditary military attachΓ©s, where can there be so many expenditures, in fact, to praise a person's merits, there is no need to use hereditary methods, this will not only increase the burden of the imperial court, but also increase the risk to the family, the hereditary person can easily get a high position, which will make people lazy, and the descendants are even more difficult to become talented, why is it easy to produce talents from the poor family, because he has to get rid of the fate of poverty, he will be angry!" Meng Yan said, "In fact, they have been given a high starting point by ordinary people, if they pave the road again, if they are talented, if they are mediocre, then it is not the misfortune of the court and the misfortune of the people?" β
The feudal and hereditary system was set by Emperor Taizu, although there are also a lot of restrictive measures, ordinary Jinyi Wei is just a military household, there are very few real hereditary ones, and most of them are given by the imperial court to some favors, at most there is only one generation, of course, if this generation does a good job, the next generation is also okay!
Despite this, a large number of idle workers have been accumulated, not to mention those royal family members.
Jinyiwei is the emperor's most rewarded, known as the forbidden army, the Han general camp, it is difficult for ordinary civilians to enter, and they are all after some meritorious relatives.
"Reform is a must, but you have to eat bite by bite, tonight, you come to sing the leading role, and talk to the people below about cooperating with Tai Hospital to build Jinyiwei Hospital!" Guo Nu commanded.
"This matter has not yet been decided, and the Holy One has not officially decreed it, so let's say it now, is it too early?" Meng Yan was surprised.
"Since the Holy Lord personally promised you, it is a holy decree, otherwise how can it be called Chrysostom Yuyan?" Guo said angrily.
Meng Yan sneered in his heart, having said that, is there nothing the emperor regrets?
"And what can I say?"
"The benefits of setting up a hospital, and that health insurance system!" Guo said angrily.
"Isn't this too urgent, this system is still only at the level of imagination, and many problems have not been solved, so let's say it now, I'm afraid they may not be able to accept it?" Meng Yan said with some concern.
"You just have to make them feel that the system is good for them." Guo said angrily, "Whether it can be implemented or not, we will talk about it later." β
"Okay, that's to paint them a giant pie, I can try it." Meng Yan nodded. (To be continued......)
