Chapter 680: Opening the Mansion and Building Teeth
The court discussion is just a shape, at this time the court is already in a mess, most people, do not dare to express their stance lightly, all of them are ambiguous, now the court is in the process of reshuffling, who knows who will liquidate their heads in the next moment, with this concern, in the court meeting, about Xu Qian's charter, is actually in a silence. ※May Chinese Network 5※
The palace approved it, and the cabinet had nothing to say, and the reform of the household department was logical.
Xu Qian's prestige also reached its peak, and he personally began to deploy reform matters in the ministry, preparing for the money and grain bureau, the tax bureau, and the supervision bureau, collecting taxes, storing the treasury, and the power of money and grain allocation was almost all in one, and a large number of Wang Xue officials were recruited to recruit tax collectors and tax soldiers in various places.
Most of the tax collectors are from Zhejiang, not deliberately discriminating against the northerners, most of the scholars have not received professional arithmetic training, and the schools in Zhejiang have continuously trained these talents, therefore, the household department has conducted a big examination, almost the students of the Zhejiang school, almost all the other provinces.
Tax collectors have an easy job, and although they are not officials, they are well paid, which naturally makes people rush to them.
Xu Qian has been very busy for a period of time, almost so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and when the new yamen comes out, he has to give guidance, and the appointment of a large number of talents cannot be neglected.
After more than ten days of busy work, I finally built a shelf, and the next thing is to follow the steps.
At this time, the procedures of the imperial court were finally completed, and the song came that Xu Qian was a godsend, and all of a sudden, the Jingshi was speechless.
Heavenly Prince, since ancient times, there has never been such a title, but it is similar to the mighty general of Zhengde. It's so prominent, and it's a suspicion of messing around. Obviously, this makes people feel inappropriate.
It's just the general trend. His Majesty, the cabinet, obviously didn't have time to deal with it, plus the royal party was also silent, and the other crowds were leaderless, and they objected sporadically, and the matter was completely settled.
Since Lord Xu's power has reached its peak, many people who come to the Xu family to run for officials at this time hope to install an errand in the household department. After all, the errand of the household department is too rich, for example, in the past, when you were in the military department, in the ministry of industry and even in the ministry of rites, the oil and water were not small, so it was said that the military department, after thinking of a way to take a sum of silver, it was the military salary, and the military salary and military department could intercept a sum. This is the rule, and the military attache at the bottom of the head is not clean himself, so no one will make a sound, after interception. It's just that everyone gets rich together, and everyone has a share, it's just a matter of how much. But now. The Money and Grain Bureau has seized the financial power, and the military department has to convert this year's military salaries. Or convert the ordnance that needs to be purchased, after the conversion. If the cabinet approves it, it may not be useful, because the household department can reject it, and after several tug-of-wars, even if the military salary is approved, it will not let the household department pass through the hand, but will be uniformly allocated by the Money and Food Bureau.
In this way, it is equivalent to the complete loss of oil and water in the Ministry of War, and even if the Ministry of Industry is actually about the same, even if it is allocated, for example, if Fujian wants to repair a project, the money will be sent directly to Fujian, and the Ministry of Industry will of course have to go to the committee members to supervise it, but the Money and Grain Bureau will also have to intervene and supervise the accounting of money and grain.
Do you still have food to eat? This so-called household reform, of course, is the household department, but in fact, it is everyone's life.
Everyone can see that the household department has done its own thing, made a small cabinet, and used the money bag to control everyone.
In addition, with the addition of a god-given father, there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate every day, no matter what thoughts everyone has, every day always seems to be a guest to the door, Xu Qian has to be busy when he is on duty, and he is on duty, but he still stops otherwise.
At this time, Xu Qian's family meeting also separated in the middle of the night.
The reason why the family meeting was held was because of what the holy decree said, the heavens were allowed to send the public to Hangzhou and open the government and build teeth, so the Xu family had nothing to twist, and naturally acted according to the order.
On the issue of site selection, Xu Chang said: "The best location in Hangzhou City is on Wuma Street on the shore of West Lake, and many yamen are also located there, but there is a dense population, to buy land, the scale of the Tianci Mansion is not small, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the cost is not small, the father means, since it is to be built, it is necessary to build the best, silver, but there are many people in our clan, just take advantage of this God-given Mansion to settle it, Set up more other courtyards, your own family, although the room is divided, but don't divide the family. ”
Xu Chang is extremely conservative in this regard, after all, he is older, and the older he gets, the more his thoughts are so, in fact, this is another form of falling leaves returning to his roots.
However, his mention yì also has many disadvantages, the Xu family has more than 50 household registration, the population of more than 200, if it is divided into more than 50 individual courtyards, the Xu family itself has to have a huge courtyard, it is a god-given mansion, but also has to open up some public housing, the land occupied by this house, I am afraid that it is going to be far away to a village, a thousand acres of land may not be purchased, such a large land, and to be built in the center of the city, occupy the best location, just buy land, it is impossible to do without a million taels of silver, and it is very likely to cause many disputes, After all, many people have shops there, and these are all golden hens, who will sell those who can lay golden eggs?
Moreover, such a large house is located in the center of the city, which is too big.
Xu Qian smiled bitterly: "Dad, aren't you embarrassing your son?" Our family has silver, but many things may not be what silver can do, although the government can be allowed to collect the land, but my son thinks that there is no need for this. ”
Xu Chang glared at him: "So, you have an idea?" ”
Xu Qian said in a deep voice: "There is no need to be in Hangzhou City, there is an apricot village not far from Hangzhou, simply buy land there, the same one million taels of silver, we can buy tens of thousands of acres of land, and there is also close to the dock and the newly built road, as long as you scale it well, take out two thousand acres of land to build a house, in addition to the Tianci Mansion, and then let our Xu family build their own yards nearby, silver, we can give out, but it is better not to be together, together, what will others think?" A heaven-given mansion is even larger than the Great Gao Xuan Palace. ”
Xu Chang frowned: "There are no people in Xinghua Village, how can there be any reason why the Gonghou Mansion was built there?" ”
Xu Qian smiled slightly, and said: "There are no people now, and there will be people in the future, Dad, now Hangzhou is rich and rich, these people, there are houses in the city, but the land is limited, but there are many inconveniences outside the city, but if we set an example first, and then repair the roads and sewers in the area of Xinghua Village, and the embankments along the nearby rivers are also beautiful, when the time comes, I don't know how many people will go there to buy land and build mansions, it will not take ten years, and it will be a new cityWe are the first to build a house, and the best location is naturally occupied, besides, this is a new piece of land, you can plan it yourself, and in the future, if others want to build a house, they must follow the rules, so it is not as chaotic as the old city. ”
Xu Qian said that although Xu Chang was a little reluctant, but when he heard that the scale of the house exceeded that of the Dagao Xuan Palace, and it was too big, he was also vigilant, and felt that what Xu Qian said was not unreasonable, so he had to say: "It's just this matter, who will do it?" ”
Xu Qian said: "We have the silver, hand it over to the prefect of Hangzhou, he will do his best." ”
After the discussion, Xu Chang couldn't help but sigh: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, I can't imagine that our Xu family will have today, and the heaven-given Gongshi will directly govern Zhejiang, acting in charge of military and civilian affairs, hey...... This is the same as the Mu family in Yunnan, even some vassal kings, and they may not have our momentum. Yes, since it is the opening of the government and the construction of teeth, it is necessary to recruit staff and guards, and the holy decree allows the construction of two guards, according to the rules, one guard is 7,500 people, and two guards is 15,000, what do you think? ”
Xu Chang began to ask Xu Qian's opinion on many things.
Xu Qian muttered: "You don't have to be so much, you can build a bathroom, I want to ask Zhou Tai to help with this." ”
Zhou Tai was originally an instructor at the Royal Academy, but he was old, and later Xu Qian became a friend when he was the governor of Zhejiang, and now he is in retirement, but now, he has to ask him to go out of the mountain and train the guards.
Xu Chang said: "Lao Zhou can still be trusted, okay, just do it." ”
Several sons and nephews of the Xu family on the side did not say anything, Xu Qian's father and son spoke, there was indeed no part of their interjection, seeing that the two had discussed, they all smiled, this is Xu Qian's blessing, according to Xu Qian's meaning, although their family members cannot live in the Tianci Mansion, but they have to build a house for everyone outside the house, silver, but also out of Xu Chang's house, which is equivalent to everyone's purchase of property in their hometown, and with their backs to the Heaven-given Prince, the status of the Heaven-given Duke is more bullish than the Governor of Zhejiang, and future generations, There's nothing to worry about, you just need to run your own business in Jingshi with peace of mind.
Xu Fu thought of something, and said, "I don't know how much other expenses you have to prepare except for the silver to buy the land?" ”
Xu Chang said: "It's not that if you want to build it, you will build it to the end, the future of the province is not enough, I and Qian'er Ye have also saved a lot of silver, money is something outside the body, I don't care, how much is spent, now there are more than two million silver, I have to repair the nearby roads, and the nearby wharf, in addition, I also have to build a genealogy and the like, before and after, two million taels of silver are obviously enough." ”
