The emperor didn't come out 'uh' for a long time, and everyone wondered when they heard it, what is this that even His Majesty can't speak?

Gu Dehai took the emperor's words and said: "It's still up to the ministers to say ......"

The emperor nodded and said, "Let the Gu Qing family explain it to you." ”

When everyone heard this tone, they all knew in their hearts that it was not a good thing.

Gu Dehai bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Everyone, you are not talented, you are an official of the household department, and you can't share your worries for the court and your majesty, so that the problem of the endowment that should be worried about our ministry is still worrying about the elders and colleagues......"

It's not a good thing!

“…… Based on the fact that several cabinet elders have voted to pay taxes in Shaanxi Province for three per year, then ...... The headquarters also suggested to His Majesty that in the future, if it is not necessary to withdraw all the grain of the civil and military officials in Beijing, all the silver taels should be abolished, except for the folded silk and cloth flats. ”

Grass...... Carelessly...... Hastily and hastily ...... I grass!

Just listen to the sound of 'fucking' in the whole hall, this is naked revenge! No disaster! Of course, the emperor's ears will not hear, because it is all from the depths of his heart.

There is a distinction between the true color and the folded color, and the folded color can be divided into folded silver, folded silk, folded cloth, folded banknotes, the largest and most important of which is naturally folded silver.

Gu Dehai said: "Including the first grade of the civil officials in Beijing to the ninth grade; The monthly rations and monthly expenses of the officials of the yamen, the officials, and the prisoners; Clans, Princes, Marquis, Horses, Bo Sui Zhilu Rice ......"

Gu Dehai completely ignored the reactions of everyone present, and he continued: "The Jingwei official army, including the five military governors' mansions, Jinyi Wei and other guards, the five major battalions, and the cangchang ......"

Everyone looked at Gu Dehai angrily, and then looked at the emperor again, wanting to see something different from the emperor's face, but unfortunately, Emperor Yongming didn't pay attention to them, just leisurely sipping tea, waiting for Gu Dehai to finish speaking.

"Of course, it is troublesome to withdraw the true color, but there are also benefits, at least it will not be owed to you, as for convenience or not...... You can rest assured that our ministry will be people-oriented and provide convenience to all ministries and government offices within their capabilities......"

In the past, grain and cloth were hard currency, especially in the year of famine, having grain in hand was more cost-effective than holding gold and silver. But now, first, the price of grain in the capital is cheaper than that of the production area in the south of the Yangtze River, and second, the commodity economy has developed greatly compared with the past, and the more commodities in the market, the more prominent the benefits of using silver money, and everyone will calculate this account.

Therefore, in recent years, the silver has become more and more popular, which can be said to be the biggest benefit, but the annual income of the imperial court is not completely silver, in addition to the white grain for the royal family, there are still a lot of natural income.

Although it shows that there is nothing wrong with the true color on the face, you can think about it carefully...... That's not the case, it's a proper pay cut. The higher the official quality, the more titles, the more Yulu will get, just like the elder, the university scholar with the title of Shangshu, this will take two Yulu, plus three dukes and three orphans is another Yulu, this is not counting the wife of the main room, all the women and those who have orders have Yulu, and they are not counted in the official's own Yulu and are given separately.

The Beijing officials and bigwigs present today do not live on their own money, so they may not care about their true colors, but there are still many low-level officials who rely on a meager monthly income to support their families, so they have to consider the situation of others!

Shoufu Li Ju is more and more angry the more he listens, the more angry he is, the more he wants to laugh, from fighting in the court to fighting now, it is also a 'qualitative leap'.

"Gu Shangshu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate," Li Ju stood up and said.

Gu Dehai took a moment and said, "What's wrong? ”

Li Ju's face sank: "What is the price of rice now, do you need the old man to explain it to Gu Shangshu?" ”

You're careful, too!

"Hey......" Gu Dehai sighed half-truthfully: "The imperial court can't make ends meet every year, and it is the greatest benevolence to be able to not owe money." Take last year as an example, the actual silver withdrawal of last year has exceeded 50%! What does it mean that in-kind withdrawals have been reduced to less than 50 percent? The imperial court not only did not owe, but also increased the expenditure of silver! But it's difficult, the real silver collected by the household department every year is not fifty percent, you just don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Besides, the cancellation of the discount of silver is not the cancellation of Yulu, why is it like a funeral? ”

"There is also Ha, in addition to the grain, there are also the yamen officials and supervisors and the princes and princes and horses and uncles, these can be found from the account books, today, the headquarters will also bring the accounting books, right on His Majesty's desk, if you don't understand, just go and look at it!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the emperor's imperial case, and sure enough, there was a thick stack of account books, and they didn't notice it before, although Gu Dehai said that, who dared to go through the account books of the household department in front of the emperor?

He must be so arrogant because he must have no fear? Li Ju wisely chose to shut up.

In fact, this is not Gu Dehai's arrogance, although Li Ju is the first assistant, but he is not in charge of the household department, so he can't understand the real financial operation of the country.

It is precisely because the imperial court has always been 'poor' and often demolishes the east wall to make up the west wall, so it has to be careful in its calculations.

The entire Ming Dynasty's family background is thick or not, and what problems exist, of course, Gu Dehai knows better than others, so he is often anxious, and his temper is not good when he is anxious. And this time the spearhead was not Shaanxi, but the way the cabinet handled it, which really made him a little angry. Why can't you communicate in advance?

The money and grain in charge of the household department have always been calculated in advance, because there is no excess to turnover, and if Shaanxi wants to keep taxes, it will invisibly increase the burden on other places, even if there is surplus money and grain to supplement it, there are other expenses that arise accordingly, and even all the arrangements will be disrupted.

Li Ju chose to shut up, but someone still spoke up, and everyone looked around, it turned out to be Zhang Ying of the cabinet.

Zhang Ying asked angrily: "Gu Shangshu, it can't be that you think that the cabinet will act on behalf of your household department on purpose, right?" ”

"Yo, where do you start?" Gu Dehai pretended to be surprised and said: "Where is the responsibility of your elders, how can there be a place for me Gu Dehai to interject?" I can't afford it! ”

Zhang Ying said again: "In the past, one stone of rice could be converted into seven coins of silver, but now what is the price of rice in the capital?" Less than five dollars in one stone! Such a stark difference that you can't see it as a Tobe Shangshu? ”

Gu Dehai raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his expression was quite arrogant, as if to say, what if I can't see?

Zhang Ying looked at him like that, that is, he only disliked him for eight points on weekdays, but now it has become ten points.

Among this group of officials, only Guanglu Siqing and Taifu Siqing seemed to be quieter, and Xu Yan and Niu Mao did not seem to intend to speak out.

Wu Conghai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees to change the true colors of Yulu to pay." ”

"Oh? Wu Qingjia, why do you agree? Emperor Yongming couldn't help but be curious.

Wu Conghai smiled: "The true color is very good, but the silver in the border town is not as convenient as rice grain, no matter what color, when you arrive in the border town, you will have to change it to rice grain, cloth, salt tea, etc., why bother?" Just distribute your true colors. ”

"What Aiqing said is reasonable," Emperor Yongming smiled, this Wu Conghai is really a clever person.

The old prince Chang Zaichun also stood up and said to Emperor Yongming: "Your Majesty, although the ministers don't agree with all the changes to their true colors, but what Marquis Wu said is right, in the border town, there is indeed no rice, grain, cloth and silk for Yinliang. Therefore, the minister thought that it was possible to consider changing all the military attachés to their true colors, and as for the rest, it was best to keep them unchanged. ”

The city gate caught fire, and it was the fish in the fish pond that were affected.

"The old man's suggestion...... Not bad either. ”

Liu Yikun has not made a sound, and he can see that now he understands that His Majesty and Gu Dehai, the monarch and minister, are 'singing and harmonizing'. He won't take what Gu Dehai said seriously, even if the imperial court has a fiscal deficit every year, it will not reach the point where he even has to worry about it, and it may be something else.

Li Ju also realized where the problem might be, and as the head of the cabinet, he had to come out again and said: "Your Majesty, it is not unreasonable for Gu Shangshu to be worried, yesterday the ministers discussed the vote with the cabinet elders, and it seems that there is something inappropriate, so it is better to ask Your Majesty to return the vote for change." ”

Emperor Yongming smiled when he heard this, and said to Li Dongyan, who was beside him: "But did you hear what Mr. said clearly?" You'll send it to ...... later."

Li Dongyan replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

——————————————

As the king of a country, His Majesty is so 'cautious', it seems that the future sutra feasts must be persevered and 'strict'...... After Li Ju dispersed for the afternoon dynasty, he walked on the palace road, thinking so in his heart.

"Xiangguo," Liu Yikun walked to Li Ju's side, his face showing worry: "Your Majesty's sutra feast and daily lecture seem to have stopped for a long time, and the lower officials are deeply worried about this, my Ming Dynasty emperors often have 'daily lectures until the twilight of the year', so 'meticulous work' Your Majesty may need to be strengthened......"

Li Ju glanced at him meaningfully, then nodded and praised: "Liu Ge is very worried. Then the faces of the two old foxes showed an 'evil spirit' smile......

Emperor Yongming, who was still in the dark, continued to summon Chang Lao Guogong and Li Tai, the secretary of the military department, in the Maoqin Hall at this time.

"Old Guogong, tell me what you think," Emperor Yongming asked Zheng Guogong.

Chang Zaichun groaned for a while, and said: "This Luo Buzang Danjin is not small, according to the minister, he wants to break away from the fetters with my Ming Dynasty and dominate Uszang and the West Sea." In recent years, the disputes in the pastures around the West Sea have become increasingly intensified, and they have reached the point of beating people's lives, and perhaps he is provoking ......"

"What do you think you want to do?" Emperor Yongming asked again.

"Your Majesty," Zheng Guogong immediately got up when he heard this, and said solemnly: "The minister's intention is to lift the fetters with the Heshute Khanate, and all the places it occupies will be returned to my Ming Dynasty, garrison the army, and set up three divisions under direct jurisdiction." ”

Emperor Yongming asked again: "Isn't it going to be a battle?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is time to raise troops for a thousand days, and the army should also fight."

"What does Li Aiqing mean?" Emperor Yongming asked Li Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, again.

"Your Majesty, what the old prince said is that over the years, I don't know how much land along the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi has been occupied? This and the Shuote Khanate should have taught a lesson a long time ago, and I want to return to the post-golden Taiji at that time when I was Chongzhen......"

"Hey, the two Aiqing are reasonable, but judging from the current financial revenue, I'm afraid I can't sustain a protracted war, and I don't want to burden the people in vain, so let's wait a few years."
