The atmosphere in the warm pavilion was suddenly tense, and Xu Qian suddenly found fault, which was something that no one expected, what was discussed today, after all, was a major event of the military aircraft, and the people present could also affect the characters of the Ming Dynasty with their words and deeds.

In fact, Li Shiao also has something wrong, if you want to scold, you can scold, but you have to cite the example of Zhejiang, and it is okay to cite the example of Zhejiang, but this eye always looks at Xu Qian, and everyone can see that this Lord Hubu Shangshu is looking for Xu Qian's stubble.

It's just that Xu Qian is a guy, it's okay for people to talk about it, but you are still energetic, and you are confident, for fear that others will not know that Li Shiao refers to Sang scolding Huai, for fear that others will not know that you have suffered a loss.

The two of them are fighting fiercely, if it weren't for the different occasions here, it would not be impossible to tear their faces directly.

However, whether it was Jiajing or Yang Tinghe, neither of them made a sound, and seemed to be conniving at Li Shiao and Xu Qian to fight and make trouble, and they remained silent together.

Jiajing's intention is nothing more than that since Xu Qian has opened his mouth, it is up to him, anyway, to see the excitement and see what Xu Qian's purpose is.

And what about Yang Tinghe? Naturally, I can't wait for Xu Qian and Hubu Shangshu to go up, one is to urge food, the other is to pay food, and the two of them can fight.

As for the others, Jiajing and Yang Tinghe didn't express their position, so naturally they didn't dare to speak at will, so they simply became mud bodhisattvas.

Li Shiao has long been accustomed to seeing Xu Qian, Zhejiang's official grain has been decreasing year by year in recent years, which makes him very annoyed by the household secretary, and now Zhejiang has exempted grain tax, and even said that he wants to change the payment of grain to silver, which means that he used to pay grain, but now he pays silver, and pays the silver according to the market price.

Although the household is short of silver. However, the tax system is customized by the household department, and you will change it when you say Zhejiang, what do you think of the household department? If everyone follows your example, what is the use of this household? Isn't the book of the household department becoming a mud bodhisattva.

At this time, Xu Qian was embarrassed, and Li Shiao also sneered, his qualifications are not low, although he is only fifty years old, he is also from a top line. He has been a bachelor of Hanlin Waiter, and he has been released from Sichuan as a political envoy, and then he has been transferred to the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households. He was naturally fearless: "Originally, there were some things that the old man was not easy to say, but now that Xu Futai has opened his mouth, the old man simply reckoned with this account." ”

Xu Qian sneered: "Master Li is really from the household department, and his mouth is full of accounts." ”

This is a ridicule of Li Shiao's calculations, and it must be known that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty pay attention to not loving fame and fortune, although this is just a slogan. But ordinary people will not be full of accounts or property, after all, it is indecent.

Li Shiao's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "You Zhejiang have changed the tax system without authorization. The old man asked you, since the grain is no longer levied, then the official grain will not be paid, if not. What kind of soldiers does the imperial court use and what kind of disaster relief does it take? Zhejiang is a province with heavy grain endowment. If you don't pay, what kind of court officials are in vain, and the court officials don't share the worries of the court, what use do you want? ”

Xu Qian sighed: "Taizu once said, Eryu Erlu, the people's fat and people's ointment. I am an official of the imperial court and a parent of the people, and I am also the fat and ointment of the people, and the exemption of grain tax is to benefit the people, why not? ”

Li Shiao sneered: "You don't talk nonsense here, the people of Zhejiang are important, so the victims of disasters in other provinces are not important?" Isn't the Tatar-infested border people important? The duty of the imperial court is to make up for the shortage with abundance, Zhejiang has more grain, and other provinces have less grain, so it should be dispatched by the household department, so that the country and the people can be safe. The old man only asked you, do you pay or not pay this year's official grain? ”

If you say not to pay at this time, I am afraid that everyone present today will be flayed alive, but Xu Qian is real, and said: "Whoever says that he will not pay, he will naturally have to pay." ”

Li Shiao smiled even colder: "How much do you pay?" ”

Xu Qian said lightly: "Naturally, I will do my best." ”

Li Shiao said angrily: "One hundred and four thousand quintals is paid, and one hundred thousand quintals are also paid, and now the imperial court is using troops, and the treasury is empty, what does it mean to do your best?" ”

He felt that there was no need to quarrel with Xu Qian, so he immediately turned around and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if you want to enrich the treasury and support the use of soldiers, you must have a way to reward and punish. It is even more necessary to severely punish those who do not lend, and they should be dismissed from office and never be used, so that they can set an example. ”

Even if the grain tax is not exempted, the amount of grain that can be paid this year will not exceed that of last year, and if the household department sets a target of 1.4 million quintals, the officials in Zhejiang will vomit three liters of blood, and this is almost an impossible task.

Jiajing was silent, obviously, on the one hand, he was quite supportive of Xu Qian's new policy, but now, there is indeed a lot of need for soldiers, and Li Shiao's method is also very much in line with his wishes.

It's just that in his heart, he is a little protective of Xu Qian, and he feels that such a punishment is too heavy, just when he hesitates. Yang Tinghe said slowly: "Li Shangshu's words are quite reasonable, the most important thing now is to raise grain and grass, and the grain and grass are insufficient, what else can you talk about to show the national prestige?" The old man thinks that this method is good, and those who pay a lot of grain must be rewarded, and as for those provinces where the shortage is too great, all officials should be severely punished, and those who are light should be punished, and those who are serious will be dismissed, and there will be rewards and punishments in order to get things done. Now the people have been requisitioned, the soldiers and horses of the border towns have also been assembled, and a lot of grain and grass are being sent to Liaodong and Xuanfu. ”

Yang Tinghe's last sentence is powerful, I am afraid that the court will be made fun of, in other words, the edict is from you Jiajing, and when the time comes, even the Son of Heaven will inevitably be made fun of.

Jiajing's face also became solemn, his eyes fell on Xu Qian, and said, "What does Xu Qing think?" ”

This is not waiting for Xu Qian to come up with any ideas, but to test whether Xu Qian can complete this quota.

Xu Qian said: "Weichen also seconded the proposal, but since it is the household department to order the quota, what should Zhejiang's quota be, you can't just rely on one mouth, just say how much." If someone deliberately targets Zhejiang and sets a price of 2 million quintals at that time, won't all officials in Zhejiang suffer unjustified disasters? ”

Li Shiao said angrily: "This official is loyal to his duties, only public-minded, and has no selfish grudges with others, this quota is naturally limited to the maximum amount of grain paid within three years, for example, Zhejiang, three years ago paid 1.4 million quintals of official grain, so this year, with this 1.4 million quintals as the quota, if it cannot be completed, there are too many shortages, this is misleading the country and the people, and delaying the military aircraft. If this limit is exceeded......"

Xu Qian smiled: "Yes, what if it exceeds this limit?" Master Fang Cai also said that if there is a punishment, there should be a punishment, and if the amount is exceeded, how should it be rewarded? ”

"This ......" Li Shiao was stunned, after all, he was only a secretary of the household department, and it was not his turn to decide on rewards and punishments.

Xu Qian sneered: "What, isn't it a long story for adults?" Why is it all of a sudden, and there is no silence again? Okay, today I simply let my words out here, Zhejiang can't pay the grain, and more than 200 officials up and down are all punished by the imperial court, but what if they are handed over? Officials up and down in Zhejiang, do you want to be rewarded? ”

"Heavy Reward...... It's natural. Li Shiao had no choice but to say: "It's just that how to reward it has to be considered." ”

Xu Qian sneered: "I think it's an adult who only thinks about how to clean up the lower officials, and he hasn't thought about how to reward the lower officials at all. ”

Li Shiao was angry and said: "It's not that you have a prejudice against Zhejiang, but because you have a prejudice against the New Deal." ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly, and glanced at Jiajing: "My lord, this is not right, Your Majesty has issued an edict to praise the new policy, your Excellency is an official of the imperial court, and you actually sang the opposite tune with Your Majesty, the lower official wants to ask, is your lord still not an official of the imperial court, shouldn't the official of the imperial court be loyal?" ”

Li Shiao was dumbfounded, he felt that he had leaked his mouth, and glanced at Jiajing cautiously, and saw that Jiajing really showed an angry look, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, and said: "Forget it, this is the palace, you have to fight, go to other places to fight, the two of you just have different political views, they are both for official business, why hurt the harmony, Xu Qian, the matter of reward, the old man will find a way to draw up a charter, how about it?" ”

He suddenly became a peacemaker, but Xu Qian had no choice but to say to Yang Tinghe: "There is Lao Yang Gong." ”

said so, but the mustard in the hearts of both sides was even deeper.

For Yang Tinghe and Li Shiao, such a governor is simply unreasonable, they must kill chickens and scare monkeys, as for the 1.4 million quintals of grain, they are also sure that Zhejiang will never be able to pay it, and it will be a fluke if they can complete half of this amount.

As for Xu Qian, looking at Li Shiao's gaze was a little cold, this Li Shiao was targeted, and colluded with Yang Tinghe to trap himself to death, at this time, it was no longer as simple as political disagreement.

can't clean up Yang Tinghe, but if you have the opportunity, you will definitely clean up Li Shiao.
