Chapter 304: The grieving and angry Wang Qiong

When talking about engineering in later generations, there will basically be words such as corruption, eating and taking cards, cutting corners, filling one's own pockets, etc., which is an unspoken rule that is difficult to change.

Later generations had a sound auditing system and a sound procuratorial body, not to mention the feudal era.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has always been fat, even if it is not as fat as the Ministry of Officials, it is enough to make the officials of the Ministry of Rites secretly wipe their tears behind their backs.

However, since before Jiajing's imprisonment, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have found one thing with great sadness, many things that should have been undertaken by the Ministry of Industry have almost nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry......

For example, Fangshan, such as Tongzhou Industrial Park, and then to today's Tianxia Xingxue!

I think that when Emperor Zhengde built a leopard house, the Ministry of Industry applied for two or three hundred thousand taels of silver from the household department, but if you really want to calculate the cost, one hundred thousand taels of silver is enough!

As for the extra 100,000 taels, where did they go?

It was obviously embezzled by the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and of course it must have been shared by the officials of the Ministry of Households, and everyone knew that this matter was tacitly understood, and no one could investigate it deeply.

The construction of the palace is already a big project for the Ministry of Industry, so there is enough oil and water, at least the officials of the Ministry of Industry are very satisfied.

Compared with Emperor Jiajing's handwriting, the officials of the Ministry of Industry felt that they were as immature as newborn babies......

A county in Fangshan demolished and rebuilt the vassal king's mansion, and hundreds of vassal kings in the world are hundreds of vassal kings' mansions!

How much silver is needed for hundreds of feudal princes' mansions?

If this project falls on the head of the Ministry of Works, how much oil and water will it take?

However, without the part of the Ministry of Engineering, the person responsible for the construction of the Fangshan Domain was not an official at all, but when Emperor Jiajing was in Huzhou, he recruited some literate scholars, and then taught miscellaneous studies, which seemed to be called civil engineering?

Anyway, Fangshan has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry from the relocation of the people, to the bulldozing of the county seat, to the construction of the palace!

How can the Ministry of Industry not be angry?

But it's useless to be angry, because from the beginning to the end of the matter in Fangshan, Emperor Jiajing didn't transfer a tael of silver from the household department, the emperor used his own silver to do his own thing, and the Ministry of Industry has an opinion, why should he have an opinion?

Therefore, although the officials of the Ministry of Industry are depressed, they still have no choice but to accept the reality, and then the world will study!

Zhai Luan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is also a cabinet minister, and he naturally knows very well how big the emperor's hand is in the world.

I dare not say that if the emperor wants to extend his hand to the townships and towns, if he wants to build township schools in all towns and towns in the world, and all counties to build county schools, then it is conservatively estimated that more than 30,000 township schools and more than 5,000 county schools will be built in the world!

What is this concept?

The concept is to do this, and the emperor needs to spend more than 20,000 taels of silver!

If you calculate it according to five years, it is 40 million taels a year!

What is the concept of 40 million taels? It's the sum of the salt tax plus the mine tax!

The officials of the Jiajing Dynasty knew that the emperor had silver, but even if he had silver, he wouldn't bring it like this, and even if he wanted to make it, it should be made by the Ministry of Industry.

You must know that the Ministry of Industry will build the world's school building, which can mobilize conscripts from all over the country, how much silver can be saved by this piece alone?

Everyone knows that Emperor Jiajing has a hand in making money, but even if it should be spent, why should it be spent?

It can be said that at the beginning of the emperor's letting Wang Shouren learn from the world, many officials were sneering and wanted to see jokes.

However, Wang Shouren actually used businessmen to reduce the amount of money for running the school to a minimum!

The pressure on Zhai Luan during that period can be imagined, the officials of the Ministry of Industry don't care whether you Zhai Luan is an elder or not, they only know that their Shangshu is Zhai Luan, so as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, shouldn't Zhai Luan argue with the emperor and hand over the errand of undertaking academic affairs to the Ministry of Industry?

This is a big errand that costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the oil and water in it can flood the officials of the Ministry of Industry with a sea of silver.

However, no, and because of this, Zhai Luan's image in the minds of the officials of the Ministry of Industry directly plummeted, and he was even rated as the most incompetent Ministry of Industry Shangshu in the Ming Dynasty!

In the face of interests, especially those interests that can make people's eyes red, how can those officials who are counting on oil and water to make a fortune not hate, they don't care if you Zhai Luan has any hardships, in short, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, then if you don't make profits for the Ministry of Industry, it is your Zhai Shangshu's fault.

Therefore, Zhai Luan, who was suffering, had already submitted to the emperor the excerpt of his resignation from the Ministry of Works, but it was not allowed.

Wang Qiong didn't expect that after the household department and the Ministry of Industry, it would be her turn to be the military department.

In fact, as early as when the emperor reorganized the army, Wang Qiong knew that the emperor's ultimate goal was to completely control the army.

However, the emperor's control of the army itself is a great righteousness, and there is no reason for the Manchu Dynasty to question it, and for Wang Qiong, as long as the emperor is not reckless, then he doesn't care.

But Wang Qiong didn't expect that the emperor really didn't use his troops, but he directly bypassed the military department and issued an order to the border army, sending 3,000 elite horsemen deep into the grassland!

Is 3,000 elite cavalry considered a reckless army? Definitely not!

The concept of reckless military force is to deplete national strength, and it is to set off a war endlessly, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is indeed a generation of heroes, and the most important reason why Confucianism admires Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty so much is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created a precedent of 'deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone', that is to say, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has made an indelible contribution to the rise and growth of Confucianism.

Then it is not difficult to understand that the Confucian scholars praised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the fullest.

However, in order to eliminate the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops on numerous expeditions to the grasslands, and finally exhausted the family funds left to him by Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han......

Emperor Jiajing bypassed the military department and carried out the functions that should belong to the military department, which is equivalent to completely depriving the military department of the greatest authority, so what is the meaning of the existence of an overhead military department, and what is the meaning of his Wang Qiong, the official hat of the military department, continuing to wear it on his head?

Do you want to continue to stay in that seat and suffer from the cynicism of the Manchu Dynasty?

So Wang Qiong took off his hat, the meaning is obvious, the emperor either returned the authority that should belong to the Ministry of War, or allowed him to resign from the official position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, as for whether he was appointed another appointment or kicked back to his hometown after resignation, Wang Qiong didn't care.

The corners of Zhu Houwei's mouth twitched slightly......

Of course, he also knew that his statement was not kind, and it was true that Wang Qiong couldn't get off the stage, but what could he do?

He didn't let Zhu Houzhao go to the grassland to find the little prince's bad luck, that guy is an unrestrained master, and he will only ignore the goal in his mind.

However, Zhu Houwei is still more sure of Zhu Houzhao's military talent, without military talent, it is impossible for him to get a temple number of Wuzong after being scolded by the Manchu Dynasty as a faint monarch.

Without talent, it is impossible to get the praise of the future generations of Taizu!
