Chapter 323: Please Fight the Blood Book
Xu Qian made a long speech, and finally made a summary: "Maybe the trouble of the Japanese is not enough to worry about, but the harm of the Japanese is to shake the country, just like the trouble of the Tatars, maybe it is just to invade all sides, it is difficult to penetrate into the hinterland, but in order to build defense, from Shanhaiguan to Xuanfu, how many fertile fields have been abandoned, and how much grain has been spent to build the city wall." When the Ming Dynasty can not give them enough deterrence, so that they can pay enough success, so that they can be like no one, they can burn and loot and loot wealth, and in the long run, there will only be more and more Japanese robbers who will attack Jiangnan in the future, and when the thieves are flourishing, I will go to the Ming Dynasty to go into the suppression, but it is not so light, today to recruit 30,000 young people, spend 100,000 money and grain can solve the problem, do you have to wait until the future to spend ten times, a hundred times the effort, Do you want to solve it again? β
"The reason why the officials, monks and laymen in Jiangnan have to name their names to present their feelings, and the number of people involved is as high as tens of thousands, because the Japanese are not only murderers, but more importantly, they also make several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River suffer from other seas, and the merchants along the coast do not dare to take goods out of the city, resulting in high market prices along the coast. The peasants did not dare to cultivate lightly, which made the land barren and the craftsmen moved inward, causing the wages of the provinces to plummet; Ordinary people, then panicked, with today does not know tomorrow, like this, thousands of miles of land along the coast, sooner or later will become scorched earth, I Ming lost thousands of miles of fertile land for no reason, it will definitely affect taxes, the princes only think about the uneven treasury revenues and expenditures, but this big account is not calculated? Is it better to lose money once than to lose money every year? If the court can't make up its mind, what will happen to the people who are looking forward to the king? They will be disappointed at first, then despair, and finally resentment, and now the court will take advantage of the people's hearts to move on me. Will it be better than when hearts are turned against each other in the future? The words of the lower officials, here for today, everyone thinks about it, but the ugly words are ahead, who obstructs the peace of the Japanese, is the father and enemy of thousands of officials, gentry, monks and nuns, and businessmen in Jiangnan. β
The temple fell into a deathly silence again. If it is said that Yang Chen stood up just now, many officials who supported Pingwei stopped. But now that Xu Qian has stood up, it has also made these people who oppose Pingwei dare not speak up.
This enmity is not shared! Although this sentence is a bit heavy, but the people who are officials are unwilling to offend people unless they have to, and now Xie Qian has stood up, and the officials of Jiangnan have also stood up, and the gentry, monks and laymen have also stood up. In a sense, if you make a big statement, the anger of tens of thousands, or even tens of millions, will be vented on you, and now their grievances, maybe tomorrow will be the bus book, impeachment of you together, who can guarantee that you will always be beautiful and beautiful in this temple. The transfer of officials is a common thing, and in the future, it will be in the hands of others, but it is not so easy to talk about.
People always have to leave a way back for themselves, so why should they offend a large number of people for the sake of today's momentary anger?
Even Yang Chen obediently stopped his mouth at this time. If he continued, he would almost certainly be able to boil over Jiangnan in a few days, and the spearhead of public resentment would definitely be directed at him.
Mao Ji already had a bad premonition, and he glanced at Yang Chen. already knew that Yang Chen was powerless, and he clearly had the intention of retreating.
Now for Mao Ji. The question is no longer whether it is peaceful or not, but about the face. He is the backbone of the opposition to the peace, and his words have been released, but he has been opposed by so many people, if he does not continue to hold on, won't his prestige be ruined?
It seems that it is indeed Mao Ji's turn to appear, Mao Ji came out step by step, and said slowly: "There is some truth in what Xu Bian said. β
A sentence that is not salty or light, ambiguously gave Xu Qian a little encouragement, as for which words of Xu Qian are reasonable and which are unreasonable, there is no way to know.
Mao Ji smiled and continued: "But if you want to level the widow, you still need to think in the long run, in the old man's opinion, the puppet must at least be prepared, what are the preparations?" First: Before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, and it always takes time to raise and mobilize food and wages on the household side......"
He is smart, since he can't directly oppose it, then he simply opposes it in a roundabout way, which is nothing more than a two-handed affair and suing Xu Qian that the treasury has no money and food.
Xu Qian was not polite, and said, "Dare to ask how much time does it take for adults?" β
Mao Ji smiled and said: "This is not accurate, this year's disasters in various places have continued, Your Majesty has reduced many taxes, although the household department is trying its best to raise it, but it still needs some time." β
Xu Qian asked the bottom of the question: "How long are some days?" β
This is clearly not to hit the south wall and not to look back.
Mao Ji was a little angry, and said unceremoniously: "At most one or two years, at least half a year......"
Xu Qian couldn't help laughing, and said: "My lord, it's too ambiguous, after a year or two, only God knows what things will become, the lower officials are more or less familiar with some internal information, the so-called more than one or two years in the court, as little as a year, is actually just a delay in time, as a cabinet scholar, don't you know?" β
This is a bit excessive, it is simply directly ripping off Mao Ji's old face, Mao Ji said angrily: "You Hanlin compiler dare to say such a thing to the old man? β
Who knew that Xu Qian was more upright than him, and said with a straight face: "My lord, this is bad, today's court discussion is His Majesty's Hong'en, and if His Majesty does something wrong and says something wrong, people of insight can still impeach and refute it, and His Majesty is humble and can often accept it, why can't adults accept it?" Isn't it possible that all adults can make mistakes, but adults can't make mistakes? The adult is a scholar, and he is not a saint, and he heard that even the saint occasionally makes mistakes, so he knows that mistakes can improve the sentence of Mo Dayan, and the lower official is just saying that he pointed out a few mistakes in the mouth of the adult, how did he become bold and dare to contradict the adult? β
The ministers in the hall looked at each other, this Xu Qian is really bold, although what Xu Qian said is indeed reasonable, the emperor can make mistakes, the saints can make mistakes, the cabinet bachelors can't make mistakes, the emperor makes mistakes and has to accept the evaluation of the officials, and the saints make mistakes are three provinces, and they recognize their mistakes and correct them, compared with the first two, this Mao's shelf is too big.
Mao Ji suddenly felt speechless, and somehow, every time he saw Xu Qian refute himself, he was angry, and the temperament that he usually deliberately pretended to be immediately disappeared, he couldn't help but secretly warn himself in his heart, he must not have a meaningless battle of words with Xu Qian, once he is trapped, no matter whether he is right or wrong, he will suffer in the end after all.
Mao Ji is not a fool, Xu Qian is a new Hanlin, a young man, young people can be speechless, they can be a little presumptuous, even if it is nonsense, everyone at most says that he doesn't understand the rules and doesn't know how to advance or retreat. But Mao Jitang, a scholar, can't learn this Xu Qian. It's as if young people can behave out of line, but if older people go to school, they will only end up being ridiculed as disrespectful.
Mao Jidi reluctantly smiled, since he didn't plan to entangle, then he talked about the right thing, and said: "On the side of the household department, the old man has indeed checked the accounts, and there is really no extra money and food, so he can only think about it in the long run." β
Xu Qian said: "My lord, as long as the treasury can spend some, the right to take out half of it, and the other half can be supplemented by the inner treasury, which is promised by His Majesty himself, my lord, even the Son of Heaven is willing to cut down on food and clothing, and take out the internal money to pacify the Japanese, why can't the courtiers?" His Majesty has set an example, no matter how difficult it is for the household, can it be more difficult than the officials and people in Jiangnan who are suffering from the troubles? β
Mao Ji couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said with a tiger face: "Actually, if you really want to squeeze it, it's not impossible, but to calm the Japanese, now the morale of the three armies is low, especially Your Majesty wants to order the abolition of the provincial guards, and now the army is not happy, what else to talk about?" Therefore, in the old man's humble opinion, if you want to calm the widows, you must not clean up the guards, but the Son of Heaven should issue a reward, and in time, when the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, and another will is issued, then the widows can be wiped out in a snap of their fingers. β
Mao Ji's words are obviously flickering, anyway, flickering first, everything will be said later, especially the purge and abolition of the guard is absolutely impossible, once the abolition, the imperial court will recruit and raise soldiers, the most important feature of the guard system is the tuntian, that is, self-sufficiency, will not waste a grain of grain in the country, usually farming, when necessary are officers and soldiers, but once the military system is changed, this means that the future treasury will continue to 'bleed'. This is something that Mao Ji, who has long regarded himself as the head of the household, will never tolerate.
Xu Qian sighed and said, "Master Mao, if the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, can they be peaceful?" β
Mao Ji naturally couldn't move a stone to shoot himself in the foot: "Yes." β
Xu Qian said slowly: "Then the lower official told Lord SΓΉ that the soldiers are not only morale-like, but they are already full of righteous indignation, and more than 300 people from the warrior battalion, the five major battalions, the twelve guards of the pro-army and the generals of the guards near Gyeonggi have already submitted a letter of asking for battle, please take a look!" β
Xu Qian had already prepared, and took out a thick piece from his sleeve, it was normal for Hanlin to enter the palace with him, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to it, and now when Xu Qian told everyone that this was the time to ask for the blood book, everyone couldn't help but be stunned and looked at it incredulously.
