Chapter 65: Checks and Balances (3 Good Morning)
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Wanli glanced at all the ministers, the cabinet and the six ministries, all present.
The cabinet elders have been torn in front of him for a long time, and the current cabinet does not have a strong figure like Zhang Juzheng, and the cabinet elders have been torn for a long time, and there is no conclusion, Wanli had to hold an "enlarged meeting" and pulled the six ministries in, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyiwei were also present.
As the top of the six ministries, Lord Tianguan took the lead in speaking and was impassioned: "Your Majesty, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yungui and other places, the local officials have followed since the Han and Tang dynasties, no matter which dynasty and which generation, the rivers and mountains can change, and the local officials of the world and the land remain unchanged!"
When Taizu and Chengzu were in turmoil, they wanted to solve this problem, but because the Northern Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil later, there was no time to look south, so the matter was delayed again. Now Yang Yinglong is ambushed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just break and stand up, in the whole territory of Banzhou, the implementation of the official system! ”
The Ministry of Officials is responsible for the evaluation, promotion and appointment of officials. Every day, I don't know how many idle officials and alternate officials, digging doors and stealing holes to ask relatives and friends to wait for the officials who have returned to their hometowns, who have committed crimes and who have been deposed suddenly, to make a place to come out.
If the system of liuguan is implemented in the whole territory of Banzhou, he will have a lot of official positions to appoint, and he will be fluttering when he thinks about it.
Hubu Shangshu immediately jumped out to object: "Your Majesty! With the great talent of Taizu and Chengzu, is it just because of the rebellion of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there is no time to change the land in the south? Emperor Chengzu swept Mobei five times, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was invincible, how could Emperor Chengzu have too much energy and no time to look east? ”
Hubu Shangshu stepped forward and said loudly: "The minister thinks that this is the discovery of Emperor Taizu and Chengzu that everything cannot be done overnight and in a hurry, so this is the strategy to slow down and return to the stream." In the land of Banzhou, the Yang family ruled for more than 700 years, and the subordinate local officials were stacked and countless.
If you rush back, can you upload and issue a decree? There was Hu County before, and it was returned to the stream for five years. The imperial court subsidized a large amount of money and grain every year. The taxes of the whole province of Guizhou are not as good as those of a small county in the south of the Yangtze River, and once the land of Banzhou is completely returned, it can be expected that at least within 50 years, the imperial court will not want to collect a penny of silver, and the relief to be subsidized will be unbearable for the imperial court.
I first leveled the northwest and worshipped, and then fought in the east and Fusang, and then fought against the Yang family in Banzhou, and the treasury became increasingly empty. One accident, Yang Yinglong did not ruin my Ming Dynasty, but this bottomless pit completely consumed my Ming national strength! ”
Once the policy of changing the land and returning the land to the flow is completely implemented, the ...... of this money will be spent, which is an astronomical amount, and it is not a lump sum, but it has to fill in this big hole every year. Once the emperor really listened to the words of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household could imagine it. How miserable my future life will be.
"The dead Yuan knows that everything is empty, but the sorrow is not the same as Kyushu. Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng. "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, outside the building, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed?" The warm breeze makes the tourists drunk. Straight Hangzhou as Bianzhou. ”
These complaints are all the feelings of those literati when they exalt words, if the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty really hopes that the Northern Expedition will succeed, doesn't he want the Northern Expedition to regain the lost territory? Where does the biggest resistance come from? Not from the emperor. But from the gentry, from the people!
The Song Dynasty was rich, until the death of the country, and the people's livelihood in the Great Song Dynasty was the best era in the dynasties. The people live the most leisurely life. Northern expedition? Once the Northern Expedition succeeded, the imperial court would have to take out a large amount of money to subsidize the rotten and economically backward north, and it would have to use the money of the southerners to help the northerners, do you think they were willing?
Nowadays, this is the situation, the position of the official book and the household book are different, and the angle of thinking about the problem is different.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately jumped out and said: "Da Situ Lao Cheng is seeking the country, and the minister seconded it!" ”
The official of the Ministry of Heaven is called Otsuka Zai, and the Household Department Shangshu is called Da Situ. Da Si Kou (Shangshu of the Criminal Department) of course supported the Shangshu of the Household Department, and Ye Xiaotian helped him vigorously build a grassroots judicial yamen in Tongren Mansion, and the results were remarkable. If all of them are replaced by liuguan, can they achieve such great results? Don't be funny!
Those recurrent officials are rotated every few years, and they are determined to do things that take a long time and cannot be shown during their tenure? Even if he was willing, the Central Plains region had always been a system of liuguan, and the officials still had to rely heavily on the local gentry, and once the local gentry adopted a non-cooperative attitude, it would be difficult to implement his decrees, and in the end he would do nothing, not to mention the local official area that had been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years in Banzhou.
Emperor Wanli looked at the other three Shangshu and said, "What do you think? ”
The Ministry of Rites is Lin Shilang's territory, and Lin Shilang is Ye Xiaotian's ally, so naturally he also stood up to support the words of the Ministry of Household Shangshu.
The secretary of the Ministry of Industry was not offended on both sides, frowned and stroked his beard, and talked about a bunch of technical problems in a thoughtful manner: transportation, water conservancy, construction, manufacturing......
After some vague analysis, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu proposed an astronomical budget: once the land is changed and returned to the stream, the infrastructure of Banzhou must be vigorously renovated in order to cooperate with the governance of the Liuguan. He needs money!
Emperor Wanli, who was slamming the door, frowned when he heard this, and Hubu Shangshu, who was short of money, was shocked when he heard it.
And the military department has a mouth, and it still needs money!
If you want to change the land in the whole of Banzhou, you must establish a guard and guard the place to replace the local soldiers and local officials, right? Can these things be done as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip? It's hard to move an inch without money!
When Emperor Wanli heard that he was asking for money again, he suddenly felt a pain in his flesh. In a blink of an eye, I looked at the official department Shangshu who supported the reform of the land and returned to the stream, and suddenly thought that once the system of returning officials was fully implemented, so many officials would suddenly increase, and the officials, subordinates, and servants would ...... it, how much would this cost?
In the eyes of Emperor Wanli, the copper coins are piled higher and higher, like a mountain, and these coins are going to be thrown into the bottomless pit, which is a matter of his life.
Thinking of the dispute between the elders, and thinking that the Shuixi clan was actually coveting the fat of Banzhou under the guise of opposing Ye Xiaotian, while the Shuidong Song clan supported Ye Xiaotian and tried to join Ye Kang'an, and his determination was finally settled.
Shui's An's strong foundation is even more terrifying than the Banzhou Yang clan, if the An's is made stronger, Anzhi will not become the second Yang Yinglong in the future? Although the Shuidong Song clan is weaker than the Shuixi clan, once the six southern prefectures of Banzhou are assigned to the Song clan, the Song clan will leap above the An clan, and there will be endless troubles.
It is not feasible to change the land and return it to the river. If you follow the example of Chengzu, cut off the six mansions and govern them, and do not reward meritorious officials like Ye Xiaotian, how can the imperial court face the people of the world? The Shuidong Song clan and the Southern Six Mansions are close at hand, will they take the opportunity to secretly snarn and buy?
If the southern six prefectures are divided and autonomous, will the northern prefectures of Banzhou be secretly hindered by the local officials of the southern six prefectures? Only by standing on three legs, so that the three families of An, Song and Ye can contain and balance each other, can my country be more stable.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli stood up: "I think that changing the land and returning to the stream is the trend of the times. However, if the treatment is too hasty, the harm will be greater, so it should be implemented steadily and gradually! Therefore, I sent an edict: At the request of Ye Xiaotian, the six southern prefectures of Banzhou were placed under the rule of Ye Xiaotian, and they were called Pingyue Mansion, which was still under Guizhou.
The provinces of the northern line, change the land and return to the stream, said Zunyi, under Sichuan! The prefects, prefects, and counties of the northern provinces are sent by the imperial court to send the officials, and the rest of the official seals and miscellaneous officials are filled by the local local officials! Chin this! ”
