"The post delivery is the most harmful to the people! For example, the document of the stagecoach used by the military department to mobilize the troops was issued by the military department, and it was only heard, and it was not collected afterwards. After the expired documents were altered for private use, the stagecoach station was used to sell goods for personal gain, and the poster was severely beaten if he questioned the slightest. The power of the official is like a tiger, and the life of the people is like paper, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, and it is chilling to see and hear! The post delivery system has become a harmful act to the people, and the minister asked the court to send someone to check the post station and deal with those who use their power to destroy the post government. ”

Yu Shi Mao Yu finished his work and returned to the train.

Post? Zhu Youzhen stroked his forehead, and his spirit was lifted.

He suddenly remembered that Li Zicheng, who hanged himself after breaking through the city of Beijing, seemed to be from Yiding!

At present, there is no civil unrest in northern Shaanxi, that damn traitor should still be a postman, should he send Jinyi Wei to northern Shaanxi and slaughter this damn guy? There are also Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, and Luo Rucai, who are the thieves, and they should also send people to kill them all to prevent trouble! It's just that some thieves are now in what status? Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure it out.

It's no wonder that Zhu Youzhen doesn't know, because Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to use their real names when they rebelled at the beginning, they were all messy nicknames like "King Chuang", "Cao Cao", "Eight Kings" and "Mountain Harrier".

It's just that after becoming bigger, they are no longer afraid of the imperial court, and some thieves change their original names back. At that time, the people who had been killed in northern Shaanxi were sparsely populated, and it was troublesome and unimportant to find out their origins.

When Zhu Youzhen saw those pictures when he was dying, he knew that Li Zicheng was born in Yiding.

"Liu Mao, the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court, seconded the proposal!

At present, seven or eight out of ten people in the prefecture and county are trapped in the post, and only two-tenths of the posters are used for official business, and eight-tenths are used for private affairs. But anyone who uses his fame, even if he does not have an official position, can also live in the post station for free by virtue of his identity, the family of the official gentry, the eunuch and the servant of the noble, but all those who have some identities drive the post man like a cow and a horse. The imperial court spends a huge amount of money and grain on the post every year, but most of it is spent on these people.

At present, I am worried about internal and external troubles, and the Liao salary alone costs millions of taels of silver every year, so that the household treasury is empty, and I can't even take out the money and food for disaster relief, but I have to spend a lot of money on the post station!

Therefore, the minister suggested that the world post station should be completely rectified, and the unnecessary should be abolished, so that at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be left for the country every year! ”

Yushi Liu Mao stood up, and then Mao Yujian's words continued, every sentence spoke to the bottom of Zhu Youzhen's heart.

Money and food have always been a pain in Zhu Youzhen's heart! In the last life, if there was money and food to help the people, why would the people be in such a big trouble, and why would they not even be able to quell the thieves and lose the country!

Therefore, the words of Liu Mao and Mao Yujian in the previous life directly touched Zhu Youzhen, and he insisted on doing something against the post despite the opposition of some ministers! However, it ended up with chicken feathers.

These two imperial historians are young and hot-blooded, and their ideas are good, but this Ming Dynasty is too corrupt to change it with just one blood.

"What about the opinion of the Cabinet?" Zhu Youzhen did not rush to express his position as he did in the previous life, but consulted other ministers.

"The harm of post delivery does exist, but after all, post delivery bears the heavy responsibility of communication up and down, if there is no post delivery, how can the order of the imperial court quickly spread to the whole country? Therefore, the minister thought that it was still necessary to act cautiously. ”

Huang Liji said slowly.

"Yuanfu's words are old and seek the country, and the ministers agree." Several other pavilion elders also agreed.

"Old Cheng Mouguo? I think it's selfish! Liu Mao was furious and reprimanded in court, "You live in the temple, do you know the suffering of the people? The harm of the post delivery has been shocking, it has reached the point where it is not rectified, you still have to become a country, is it because you are worried that without the post delivery, your family servants will have no place to eat, drink and stay at public expense? ”

"Presumptuous!" Seeing that Huang Li's face was flushed with anger, the officials of his faction stood up and scolded him sharply.

"How can the major affairs of the country be understood by your little imperial history? Since the pre-Qin period, which of the past dynasties has not had a post delivery?

If there is a problem with the post, you want to remove the post? If something goes wrong with the army, will all the armies be disbanded?

You are a little seven-rank imperial history to insult Shousuke, it's just a lack of decency! ”

In the face of the reprimand, Liu Mao did not show weakness, and protested: "Although I am a little seven-rank imperial history, I have the power to hear about it!" How can you not participate in the affairs of the country?

Besides, how can the post and the army be the same? You're just messing around! ”

Following Liu Mao, Mao Yujian and several imperial historians also stood up and scolded the officials of Huang Liji's family.

Seeing that the court dispute was getting more and more intense, Zhu Youzhen coughed, and the court quieted down.

"You are all from Jinshi, you should know that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh." Zhu Youzhen said slowly.

Huang Liji's face softened, it seemed that the emperor was still on his side.

Liu Mao, Mao Yujian and other imperial historians looked a little ugly.

"However, since the two imperial historians have raised problems, and the post station problem does exist and is very serious, it should be rectified."

Zhu Youzhen's words changed and continued: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate can be made responsible and formulate a set of rectification measures to prohibit the occurrence of public and private use." As for cutting off the post station to save money and food, you should not be in a hurry.

There are thousands of post stations across the country, and there are tens of thousands of post takers who rely on them to survive! How do these posters live? These must not be ignored! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers said one after another.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head slightly, he was really not afraid that the post man would lose his job, at the moment, the Ming Dynasty was not in chaos, and a mere post was nothing at all, and he would send someone to northern Shaanxi to kill him later!

The reason why Zhu Youzhen did not cut off the post station was because he deeply understood the saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh! Any will of the monarch is related to the life and death interests of hundreds of people, and many times the starting point is very good, but in the end it becomes a harmful act to the people.

Therefore, I must control my emotions, never be impatient, not make a decision in a hurry, and must think carefully before acting! Zhu Youzhen said to himself.

"Liu Mao and Mao Yujian have meritorious service in reporting the post station, and they can be transferred to the Ministry of War, which is specifically responsible for investigating the private use of public weapons in the post station, and anyone who dares to forge documents to call the post station affairs will be regarded as the crime of stealing the treasury, and will be severely punished in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and any official involved will be immediately dismissed, and those who have meritorious service will be deprived of their meritorious name and degraded to civilians!" Zhu Youzhen continued.

Since the problem is found, it must be solved, the post station cannot be cut, but it can be rectified, and it can be done to those officials and gentry and their families who take advantage of the country!

Liu Mao and Mao Yujian are young and hot-blooded, can find shortcomings, and are not afraid of angering most of the gentry, and their behavior also needs encouragement!
