Chapter 663: Liu Qing's good means

As a result, the removal of checkpoints has become a top priority.

In fact, the abolition of checkpoints also has the meaning of suppressing the local gentry.

Some gentry, who had great power in the local area, could get unimpeded by their fame.

But now, the Ming Cabinet and the Six Ministries have turned, and everyone has probably unified their thinking, since they are determined to make a new deal, then it is inevitable to kick these stumbling blocks away.

Huang Liji played a charter for the abolition of checkpoints.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw it, he was quite satisfied, so he said with a smile: "Huang Qing is thoughtful, let's do this, before you want to remove the checkpoints, you must first count the officers and soldiers at each checkpoint, to be honest...... There are too many people here who eat empty salaries, and there are many of them, who have long been killed and dispersed by the rogues, and they are counted and verified, and then they are gathered together and assigned other errands. But what errand is it better to assign? What Zhang Qing meant was that a patrol and arrest department should be set up in various places, and it should be built in various places for fire prevention and theft arrest, and they had to be given something to do, and they could not cross the river and demolish the bridge, and they would be dismissed directly, if so, there would be chaos. ”

"After this is abolished, according to my view, the road guide will be exempted, anyway, this thing is already useless, for those Diao people, there is no effect at all, these Diao people, without Lu Lu, still dominate the world. On the contrary, they are good people, who go out to a long distance, but they are trembling, and they have to ask the government for directions, and they are oppressed by the officials. ”

Huang Liji and the others said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

This time, they were genuinely praised.

There is not a hint of falsehood, it is completely visceral.

If they were still the gentry in the past, they did think that the removal of the checkpoint was a disorderly government, but now, many people are secretly sitting on the other side behind their butts, and this form has changed.

What is the essence of the removal of checkpoints, it is the flow of people.

And if people can't move, it's harmful to them.

The wages in this capital are already unattainable.

After all, manpower is needed everywhere.

Liaodong recruited people to mine in the capital, railway companies recruited people to build railways, there were also loggivers, there were many workshops, and there were various shops, and people were needed everywhere.

Such a large labor shortage has not been solved, and in order to grab people, it is necessary to constantly increase wages.

The cabinet and the Sixth Ministry, there are already many people who have secretly invested in the railway company, and some people's relatives have secretly begun to do some business.

Their biggest complaint is that there is a shortage of manpower, they can't recruit people, and the labor cost is high.

And to solve this problem, for Huang Liji and others, the solution is naturally very simple, that is, to make people flow.

The price of manpower in the capital has been as high as four taels of silver, which is the price of ordinary coolies, fifty taels of silver a year.

However, in the countryside, a lot of laborers, all year round, work all year round, can not even eat a mouthful of food, once the opening of population flow is opened, then there is no need to worry about a large amount of manpower.

The current cabinet and the six ministries, in fact, are more like the nanny of the railway company, after all, to protect the interests of the railway company is to safeguard their own interests.

It was an invisible inclination, slowly, standing in opposition to the gentry.

In essence, this time Huang Liji's proposal to abolish the checkpoint and depose the road guide is to rob people with the gentry.

Of course...... In their thinking, there is no gentry anymore, and as the fields are slowly spreading, this gentry is now a dead man in their eyes.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is delighted!

Can you not be happy?

In the past, they did something by themselves, these people always said that this could not be done, and that could not be done, but now, everyone is in the same breath, what they did not expect, they thought of it, not only thought of it, but also submitted it to you even the solution, after submitting it, you just need to nod, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and ran to execute, or the kind that does not discount.

That's what the emperor feels like.

Zhang Jingyi also felt comfortable, because such a thing as administration really involves all aspects, how to implement it, Zhang Jingyi has been accustomed to Jinyiwei-style violent methods, but now that the cabinet and the six ministries are cooperating, he can also be much easier, and he can directly cross Erlang's legs and watch them line up the roadblocks of the new deal one by one.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian crept in, and then, took a note and quietly sent it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened to the report of Li Qiyuan, the secretary of the household department, and his eyes drooped.

When he opened the note, he first glanced at it, and then he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help interrupting the words of the household book, but he looked at Liu Hongxun and said, "Liu Qing's family, where did you get the money?" ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

This is a very abrupt statement.

It's just that...... As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled.

Liu Hongxun only felt that his scalp was numb.

He knew very well in his heart that His Majesty was ...... My biggest hobby......

So, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty...... Chen's family has always been a big local family, and now it ...... Although he did not have much land, he also accumulated a lot of wealth. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him with a smile and said, "Accumulated more than a million taels? ”

Liu Hongxun immediately said: "Your Majesty, minister...... Smashing pots and selling iron is only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, roughly, around 500,000 yuan......"

"That's a lot." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "But...... I heard that your family has more than a million taels. ”

"This ...... This is when the railroad company was bought. Liu Hongxun replied honestly, his face was miserable, lest he be remembered by the 'thief'.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse exhaled and laughed: "I'll just say it, Liu Qing's family...... It's still incorruptible, you don't have to be afraid, I'm just asking, in fact...... Your Family...... I've already touched it once, isn't it, Zhang Qing's family ......"

Zhang Jingyi: "......"

Liu Hongxun probably thought about the dog countless times in his heart, and then there was a creepy taste.

It's all been touched......

Other people are also worried, Liu Hongxun's family has already touched it, so what about my family?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "It is not only the accumulation of your generations, but also the income of railway stocks, this is your Liu family, you can rest assured...... What's right for you is yours, I'm not a robber, can I rob you? ”

Liu Hongxun said silently in his heart, are you a robber, don't you have a score in your heart?

Of course, there was a look of gratitude on his face: "Your Majesty is lenient, you can chase after the first emperor of my dynasty." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled: "But your Liu family is really good." ”

"What?" Liu Hongxun looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse in bewilderment.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Where did you just go?" ”

The clouds covered the fog when he said this, Liu Hongxun always felt that there was something in the words, and his heart was about to jump out, so he said it well, why did he change the topic?

Liu Hongxun endured it uncomfortably, and immediately said, "Your Majesty...... I don't know what I mean by this, but I beg Your Majesty to make it clear. Minister...... When did the minister have any intentions? ”

looked at Liu Hongxun with a hesitant and urgent look.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also interested, so he said, "What, this is not Liu Qing's doing?" ”

At this moment, Liu Hongxun's scalp was even more numb, and his heart had begun to be empty at this time, so he continued to ask: "The minister doesn't know what Your Majesty means, if the minister has something inappropriate, I beg Your Majesty to specify." ”

Emperor Tianqi said: "This is strange, 15.6 million taels of silver, used to buy new shares of mining, which shook the entire capital, and now the streets and alleys are talking about this, does Liu Qing not know?" I thought that you and Zhang Qing would join forces to make a game, please enter the urn, raise the stock price of the mining industry, and then split the account with Zhang Qing in half! ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

Zhang Jingyi said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged...... Even if he issues new shares, he only follows the articles of association, how can he secretly engage in these things? Chen and Liu Gong are innocent. ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

Emperor Tianqi said: "It's good to be innocent, the rules are set by us, and maintaining the rules is the greatest benefit for us and other monarchs and ministers." ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Liu Hongxun with a smile: "Liu Qing is so courageous, this is a desperate gamble." ”

Liu Hongxun only felt a thump in his heart, and he was uncomfortable.

All of a sudden, I got it all.

This was apparently done by his own son.

The problem is that although he let his son go into business, he didn't let him be so ostentatious.

And also...... Where did the more than a million taels of silver come from?

It can't be the sale of the railway, right?

What...... Railroads are sold?

Run to buy mining ......

All of a sudden, he suddenly felt a little cold in his body.

It's not that he doesn't look down on mining.

The mining industry may be able to rise in the future, but who doesn't know now that the most stable thing is the railway? Isn't it crazy to throw all your life on that mine?

No wonder even His Majesty ...... And also......

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced around.

But I saw many people use one ...... He looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

At this moment, Liu Hongxun suddenly had a feeling that he was being looked at.

So he subconsciously lowered his head and remained silent.

Every minute and every second that followed was extremely long, and I don't know how long it took for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to ask everyone to retire.

He returned to the cabinet, and Huang Liji immediately came up and looked at Liu Hongxun with a strange look: "Liu Gong, have you bought stocks?" ”

Liu Hongxun was annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but say at this time: "Didn't Huang Gong buy it?" ”

"The old man is right, he sits up straight, and he didn't buy it!" Huang Li was extremely awe-inspiring and upright.

Liu Hongxun: "......"

Huang Liji continued: "But I heard that my nephew bought some ......."

Liu Hongxun sneered: "Your nephew, didn't you buy it?" ”

"It's different, an old man is an old man...... He's him, you can't talk nonsense, the old man and you are different. ”

Liu Hongxun grimaced.

Huang Liji's expression became more and more serious, but he said: "Besides, my nephew is different from your son, you are buying mining, my family is ...... No, my nephew, I bought a railway! ”
