Chapter 213: Governing the Officials First

If it is too far away and the family is well-off, they will stay in the capital directly, rent a house, hire some servants and maids to take care of their daily life, and naturally study hard.

There are also those who have become the western seats of wealthy families, and they are not tired of eating and living with silver, and of course, there are some people who are desperate for the imperial examination to go to the Ministry of Officials to record and elect officials......

In the imperial study, Zhu Houwei's seven secretaries had a sad face, Emperor Zhengde was too lazy, in order to escape and even build a leopard room, he hid in it for a month and didn't necessarily see anyone.

Now in the Jiajing Dynasty, the Manchu ministers have even more headaches, because the emperor seems to be too diligent in government, and the normal early dynasty is not counted, and small meetings in this imperial study have almost become commonplace......

However, it is not a bad thing for the emperor to be diligent in his administration, but the cabinet is worried that Emperor Jiajing has too many ideas, and from time to time he will come up with a policy, which will make them anxious for a while.

Civil officials seem to be so urinating, and when they are spurred more, they seem to get used to it.

The seven elders of the cabinet sat upright in their respective positions, and after a while, the emperor of Kung Fu came, and the seven elders got up and saluted, and sat down again.

Since it was a summons and not a request for a meeting, the seven pavilion elders naturally had no reason to speak.

"I summoned you Aiqing today, do you know what is going on?"

"Please show me to your majesty." Yang Tinghe kicked the ball back.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I have looked at the papers of several Jinshi during the palace examination in the past few days, and I feel deeply touched, so I summoned you to talk."

The seven elders suddenly chuckled in their hearts, and the scrolls of the ten tributes in the palace test were left by the emperor, and then they personally arranged the rankings, and they were helpless about it.

They also read the paper afterwards, and although it was true that they were all in the needle, it was harmless.

Only Zhang Cong's one, which was the first scroll left by the emperor, gave the cabinet an extremely headache.

The reason why it is a headache rather than a great enemy is because the problem of Cao Yun mentioned by Zhang Cong is indeed a problem that plagues the Manchu Dynasty.

Everyone knows the disadvantages of Cao Yun, and everyone wants to change it, because as long as it is changed, it is not only beneficial to the imperial court, but also beneficial to officials, and the reason why it is beneficial to officials is because of business.

But the so-called Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, and the disadvantage of Cao Yun lies in the checkpoint, which is set up by the government, but the real responsibility is the official.

For thousands of years, the leeches that have been attached to the dynasty can be slapped to death, but after they die, new leeches will definitely crawl out and continue to occupy the original position, endlessly, a vicious circle......

Therefore, the officials must be governed first, but the officials must not be cured, so how to govern?

What Zhang Cong explained in the volume is that the sea is open and the sea is forbidden, and this method is feasible or not, not to mention whether it is feasible or not, the first thing to violate must be the ancestral system.

And what Confucianism is most reluctant to move is the ancestral system, which is not a question of whether the ancestral system can be moved, but that Confucianism does not want to have a precedent.

Because if you move this ancestral system today, you may be able to move another one tomorrow, and sooner or later it will move to the head of Confucianism.

Obviously, this is unacceptable to Confucianism.

But this time is different from the past, not to mention the cabinet, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can be regarded as seeing it, when today's son has never put the ancestral system in his eyes!

If you really want to talk about it, Emperor Jiajing is the unscrupulous descendant of Emperor Taizu, but now he doesn't seem to care about this, if he cares, can he be so desperate and deceive the kings of the world into entering the Beijing trap?

Today, I should appreciate Zhang Cong's strategy, and Zhang Cong's article is well-written, and the Son of Heaven appreciates it, so why is it ranked seventh in the second class?

The puzzling ranking made the cabinet almost conclude that Imajo did have the intention of moving against Cao, but he had not yet decided where to start, so in order not to give a wrong signal to the foreign court, Zhang Cong was ranked tenth.

So the question is, what is the reason for the summoning and talking about the temple examination today?

"What do you think of the disadvantages of Cao Yun mentioned by Zhang Cong?"

Really......

Zuodu Yushi Lu Wan got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the disadvantages of Cao Yun have been there since the Tang Dynasty, and the local government set up cards to levy taxes for the country, but the officials were lawless, so that they complained about it, so they governed Cao as the first to govern the officials, which Zhang Cong's volume did not say directly, and his words should be ruled by opening the sea ban to reduce the dependence on Cao River freight, and the minister thought it was inappropriate."

Zhu Houwei was stunned and said, "What does Lu Qing think is wrong?"

Lu Wan said solemnly: "First, the Japanese thieves attacked the coast, and those coastal thieves colluded with the Japanese bandits, so that the thieves were gaining momentum, so the country and the DPRK had 'a piece of board not allowed to enter the sea', in order to prevent the Japanese from gaining momentum.

Second, the sea is turbulent, the reefs are even more dense, if you want to carry shipping, you have to have huge ships, if you allow private shipping, then there will be countless more large ships along the coast, these big ships can transport goods and carry troops, this must be guarded against.

Third, the sea frontier is not quiet, and if the merchant cargo ships take the sea route, they will inevitably be plundered.

To sum up, instead of taking the sea route and risking bankruptcy, it is better to take the Cao River, at least it will not be empty of people and money......"

Zhu Houwei's fingers tapped on the tabletop, he was a little surprised, because 'the sheet is not allowed to enter the sea' is the ancestral system, and even said that violating this system is like complicity!

However, now the cabinet has also learned well, and it is open and closed to talk about the ancestral system, because it knows that it is useless to talk to him about the ancestral system, so it begins to talk about facts and reason.

"What Lu Qing said is reasonable." Zhu Houwei sighed: "The civil strife in the Japanese has caused instability along the coast, but the sea ban will only make more coastal people unable to make a living, and finally in order to survive, they will take the initiative to join the bandits, and in turn harm the coast, this is a vicious circle."

In addition, the reason why the Japanese were rampant was because the Ming Dynasty did not have the water power enough to fight with them at sea, so the Japanese were able to land on the coast without danger and plunder.

So it doesn't matter whether the sea ban is open or not, the important thing is that I must have a naval division force that can make the Japanese frightened, with the sea division, then not only can we fight the Japanese and protect the coastal tranquility, but also protect the shipping lanes, so that the merchant ships will not be plundered. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." The seven elders praised and shouted in unison.

It is not enough to cause trouble, but the pirates land on the coast from time to time, burning, killing and looting.

If you want to expel the Japanese invaders, then there must be a strong defense force along the coast, once the Japanese invaders land, they will be struck hard, several times, the Japanese who have been beaten will naturally not regard the Ming coastal area as their own back garden, they can come when they want, and they can leave if they want to.

It's just a pity that the combat power of the Daming coastal guard is simply vulnerable, and expecting the coastal guard to beat the Japanese is no different from driving sheep and wolves......
