Chapter 451: The Foresight of the Civil Officials
"Liu Ge is always famous for slamming the door in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and you don't know it, Your Majesty," Song Yingxing said.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard Song Yingxing say this, he naturally didn't care about Liu Wanchun, the head of the household department, who picked the door or not, not to mention that everyone in the world was in charge of finances.
Now what he wants to do when he comes to the Ordnance Institute is to let the people of the Ordnance Institute also mobilize, to let these civilian officials who only know how to chase fame and fortune see what the real public opinion is.
"Go and tell all the craftsmen here, and ask them to send representatives to the capital to petition, saying that the imperial court is going to cut the production index, a large number of craftsmen can only be laid off, and the captives can only be directly executed and no longer serve! For today's plan, I can only go to the capital to petition and petition the emperor! ”
As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Song Yingxing hurriedly complied.
After a few days, tens of thousands of delegates gathered to follow a group of students from the industrial academy into Nanjing.
……
"Concubine Yuan, when will Your Majesty's illness be cured, it's been almost a month."
Gao Hongtu asked Chen Yuanyuan through the lintel.
"It's almost cured, but this disease is a hidden disease, and you can't see outsiders unless it's completely cured.
Chen Yuanyuan replied inside.
Every few days, Gao Hongtu would come, and she would have to deal with it.
Now, she doesn't remember the first time she has spoken to Gao Hongtu.
And Gao Hongtu didn't dare to ask more, said yes, and then returned to Wenhua Hall with a belly full of suspicion.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty, he still can't claim to be sick?"
As soon as Hua Yuncheng saw Gao Hongtu coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Gao Hongtu nodded helplessly.
"What's going on, the country can't be without a king for a day, the country can't be without an owner for a day, Your Majesty has been sick all the time, what if the major affairs of the DPRK and China can't be decided, is this matter of peace counted!"
Wang Siren became a little impatient.
"You say, will Your Majesty have already made a big difference?"
At this time, Liu Wanchun came out of place.
After hearing this, Ruan Dayue slapped the table on the spot: "Elder Liu Ge, pay attention to your words, even if you are gone, Your Majesty will live a long life!" ”
Liu Wanchun regretted his loss of words and had to shut up.
"From Gao's point of view, Your Majesty's illness is only afraid that it is also a heart disease, he is not sure of the hearts of the people in the world and does not dare to draw conclusions at will, after all, His Majesty has lost the northern capital, and now if he gives up the north again, it is inevitable that he will be poked in the backbone by future generations, so we have to bear this matter."
Gao Hongtu said and said:
"You also know that the reason why we are willing to negotiate peace is not that we are unwilling to unify the Ming Dynasty with the Northern Expedition;
But it's just to cherish the people's strength, and now that the generals are bigger, if they go on a northern expedition, there will be no place for our civil officials in the future;
Besides, after the Northern Expedition, if Gao's expectations are correct, and His Majesty wants to innovate again, he can only attack those of us. ”
"What Shoufu said is that the Northern Expedition can be completed by the king of later generations! But we can't be Qin Hui, Your Majesty, he won't stand up to be Song Gaozong", Liu Wanchun, the head of the household, slapped the table and became impatient again.
"What Qin Hui, what Song Gaozong, Wang Ge Lao said this!"
Gao Hongtu has to admit that there are fewer and fewer people who can be officials in the Ming Dynasty now, and they don't hide their words one by one:
"We are just conforming to the will of the people of the world, and now that Your Majesty is not sick, we can only do enough tricks first, and in the end, I still have to stand up and take the charge of this peace discussion, now, Wang Ge Lao, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you can first contact the envoys of Jianyu, and take the draft, such as the title of Emperor Shunzhi of the Manchu Dynasty to change the title of the emperor to the lord of the country or something, presumably Your Majesty can also accept it."
"Wang Mou thinks that since Your Majesty can't save face and agree to negotiate peace, you might as well ask Your Majesty to change the Yuan, so that it is equivalent to my Ming Dynasty from the new Yuan, and Your Majesty is also like Song Gaozong is the first generation of the founding emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so that Your Majesty's reputation will be unhindered."
Wang Siren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.
"This is a good idea, Gao didn't expect it, in that case, your Ministry of Rites will first ask Your Majesty to change the yuan, and at the same time contact the envoys of Jianyu, in addition, the household department will do a good job of accounting, and those who report the disaster everywhere will also allocate more silver, so that Your Majesty can see that the excess silver in the treasury has been used."
As soon as Gao Hongtu said this, Liu Wanchun, the head of the household, smiled and said:
"Shousuke, rest assured, our household department has already told the political envoys below that they are all rushing to report the disaster to the top;
Only the armory station, we still have to find a way to deduct some, these people spend the whole day studying some muskets, artillery, and even what kind of steam engine, and build a cart that does not want to be pulled by horses, and buy tens of thousands of catties of cotton for what kind of cotton wool;
The court wasted a lot of money and food in order to feed these people and support these people, not to mention that it has not made a penny, although it is half of the internal silver that His Majesty has contributed and half of the treasury has paid, but it can't bear to spend so much;
It just so happens that there is no Northern Expedition now, and things like steam engines and lathes that should be stopped have to be stopped. ”
"You are the head of the household, you have the final say on this, these are Your Majesty's hobbies, but in the end it is not all useless, almost all of the main battle weapons of the Guards come from there, be careful that Song Ge Lao knows and has to quarrel with you."
As soon as Gao Hongtu said this, Liu Wanchun laughed again:
"Song Yingxing, what kind of thing is he as a lifter, if it weren't for His Majesty's love of tricks and tricks and trust him, he would be able to enter the cabinet with his ability? Although he is unparalleled in miscellaneous studies, he can only be a scholar of the Ministry of Industry at best, what is the difference between him and Li Youzi of the Chenghua Dynasty, but He Chen'er, His Majesty takes him seriously!
Besides, once this agreement is reached, and then the unnecessary large expenditure on ordnance is cut, we can justifiably ask Your Majesty to reduce taxes, and now mentioning commercial taxes is touching Your Majesty's scales, but if the state expenditure is less, don't we have a reason to reduce or reduce commercial taxes?"
"Liu Ge is a far-sighted person, His Majesty now prefers these strange tricks as much as Xizong, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also have a lot of criticism about this, if it can really curb a little bit to benefit the people, it is also a good thing, and if it can really reduce the commercial tax by one or two, Liu Gong's virtue is enough to be the world."
Gao Hongtu couldn't help but praise Liu Wanchun when he heard this.
"That's it, but Your Majesty can't always hide behind your back like this, let us courtiers move outside, we have to think of a way to make Your Majesty cure."
As soon as Gao Hongtu said this, Hua Yuncheng said: "I have an idea, I can ask King Ding and King Hui to help tell the queen that I want to see Your Majesty on the grounds that my father is seriously ill. ”
"This is very true, then there are Lao Hua Ge and Liu Ge Lao."
Gao Hongtu said.
