Zhu Youzhen's eyes shrank and continued to ask.

And Guo Yunhou immediately responded: "Nowadays, almost all the officials in charge of transporting grain in various places are under the jurisdiction of the local yamen..."

Zhu Youzhen understands that Caoyun is just the tip of the iceberg of the drawbacks of the household department's current agricultural tax.

The real problem is definitely not so simple in Caoyun.

You must know that the issue of grain is a very crucial issue, and the collection of agricultural taxes is also very easy to make some name for itself.

Due to many factors such as origin, fineness, fullness, moisture, volume, weight, etc., there will be ups and downs, ups and downs, and the role of the imperial court was originally to set a reasonable price for all the different ranges.

After all, this so-called purchase price is actually an important basis for farmers to use to offset agricultural taxes.

"Then what if I want to investigate the matter thoroughly? What is Guo Aiqing's good countermeasure...? Zhu Youzhen said again.

For Cao Yun.

Zhu Youzhen has no other ideas, and sooner or later it will be abolished in the future.

After all, in the face of sea transportation, this way of transportation also seems to be very backward.

Not to mention.

Daming has now begun to gradually experiment with the idea of steam locomotives, I believe that it will not be long before Zhu Youzhen thinks.

Railways can completely double the efficiency of transportation.

As for Cao Yun..

It is destined to be just a product of the present period.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that this matter of luck would probably have to be stationed in the household department by the integrity supervision office of the East Factory. It is necessary to station in Caoyun Mansion and relevant yamen in various places to verify the relevant officials. Guo Yunhou's words can be regarded as decent.

The main reason is because Guo Yunhou immediately thought of the "old friends" in his hometown.

"In that case, Wang Chengen!"

Zhu Youzhen turned his head to look to the side, beckoned Wang Chengen and said, "Call Wei Zhongxian." ”

Not for a while.

Wei Zhongxian rushed over.

As soon as we met.

Zhu Youzhen blurted out at the first sentence: "I want your Anti-Corruption Supervision Office to select and send personnel to the Household Department and Caoyun Mansion from now on, is it difficult?" ”

When the question was raised, it was naturally a foregone conclusion in Zhu Youzhen's heart.

What's more, Wei Zhongxian not only saw Zhu Youzhen at first sight, but also Guo Yunhou who was bowing to the side.

I suddenly guessed a few points in my heart, and opened my mouth to respond: "Back to the emperor's words, this matter... Of course, there is no problem, and the old slave will start preparing tomorrow. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction.

looked at Guo Yunhou and said: "Cao Yun changed to sea freight, I feel that there is a lot to be done, sea transport has obvious convenience compared to Cao Yun, you must not waste food because of choking, you should not be idle during the time when Wei Zhongxian is stationed in the household department.. Let's find a way to solve this problem. ”

"Obey the order." Guo Yunhou replied repeatedly.

On the surface, the change from light transportation to sea transportation is only a difference in the mode of transportation.

But in reality?

There are a lot of issues involved, and the first of all is not just to touch some possible benefits to be transferred.

The most important thing is that after changing the mode of transportation.

And who shall rule over this errand of carrying grain?

Where should the original officials who were in charge of the affairs of Cao Yun be placed?

Merely.

These questions.

Guo Yunhou could only silently put it in his heart, and only after returning to the household department, he summoned the officials to find a way.

In Zhu Youzhen, he naturally can't say it here.

But what I thought in my heart was still expressed on my face.

Zhu Youzhen seemed to sense the hesitation between Guo Yunhou's words.

opened his mouth and said: "This matter is very important, and the things involved in this reform will not be small... In this way, I'm afraid there is no way to do it in Dongchang, I will let Jinyiwei cooperate with you."

Guo Yunhou listened.

What kind of cooperation is this?

Isn't it just to put an eyeliner in front of your eyes?

But now it has come.

He didn't dare to have any other ideas, so he had to answer in a row.

After the matter was finished, Guo Yunhou was greeted by Zhu Youzhen, and Wei Zhongxian was left behind again.

"The matter of Caoyun Mansion, I know very well, it is bound to involve a lot of problems... I ask you, do you dare to do it now? Zhu Youzhen asked.

In his words, he also showed a little expectation for Wei Zhongxian.

To know.

Now there is no more suitable person than Wei Zhongxian in this matter.

I only heard Wei Zhongxian respond: "Back to the emperor, the old slave must do his best to sort out all the ins and outs of this matter." ”

Zhu Youzhen, who nodded, didn't say anything more, just sighed slightly: "Originally, I said that I would let you go back to my hometown after the matter of Houjin was settled, but now I still need you for many things..." Help me for a while, and bring a few successors out."

Wei Zhongxian had some hard time believing his ears.

The first ones were automatically filtered out by him, and the last half of the sentence was the most important.

Let yourself train a successor?

What successor to cultivate, to succeed the East Factory or the celebrant supervisor?

A few successors, that proves that in Zhu Youzhen's heart, in the future, the celebrant supervisor, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, etc., will be divided into several people to govern.

Wei Zhongxian only felt very moved in his heart and let himself choose.

is undoubtedly the greatest trust in himself, you must know that this matter is generally not his turn to say something, since ancient times, the emperor said who can, who can, how can there be a reason for the former person to designate the latter person.

"Old slave! The old slave must be smeared with liver and brain. To repay the emperor's kindness! ”

.. After saying a few more words that were not painful or itchy, and had no nutrition.

Wei Zhongxian also turned around and walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

And Zhu Youzhen stood in front of the vast map of the Ming Dynasty and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Liaodong..

Annan..

Shandong Water Division..

Cantonese squire rebellion..

Fujian Zheng Zhilong..

Every place name corresponds to a possible crisis, and Shandong's affairs are not just as simple as sailors.

You must know that Zhu Youzhen knows better than anyone.

Shandong now has another pain point related to his rule and whether the country can sit firmly.

That's the Kong family.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty mostly regarded themselves as students of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius.

And almost most of what he learned was Confucian classics.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is constantly reducing the proportion of the old imperial examination in the selection of talents, which has actually endangered the status of Confucianism in the eyes of scholars in a sense.

Zhu Youzhen's move is undoubtedly provoking the world's scholars.

It's not easy to change their stereotypes...
