Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple, court.

On that day, we held regular discussions on state affairs.

Xiao Jing, the new eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of Bingbi, read out in public about major matters involving military affairs and governance, and handed them over to the ministers for discussion.

Everything went in order.

“…… Jingdong robbed Bazhou, Yongqing and other places, and ordered the governor Gui Yong to lead his troops to arrest them, and still kept the garrisons of Zhuozhou, Hejian, Bazhou, and Tianjin strictly guarding the troops to prevent a rush ......"

Non-major matters will not be brought to the court to discuss.

This topic involves a robbery incident in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

Bazhou and Yongqing are very close to the Beijing Division, and there have been robbers in the near future, the first half is the cause of the matter, and the second half is the countermeasures formulated by the emperor.

Of course, the reviewer is Zhu Hao.

The matter was made public, and the ministers present could not hear any problems in it.

Zhu Si asked, "What is the opinion of the Ministry of War on this?" ”

Peng Yue, the new secretary of the military department, came out of the ranks, raised the wat board and saluted: "No objection." ”

"Let's do it."

Zhu Si raised his head and glanced at the ceiling, feeling the urge to roll his eyes.

You guys aren't as good as a playmate who grew up next to me, and you can't come up with a more suitable plan to refute the coping strategies he made, and you're really feeding you for nothing.

“…… Shuntianfu Tongzhou Zhizhou Liu Yijuan, near Beijing if the Huangzhuang and the emperor's relatives and horses and heroes of the old land, great harm to the people, begging to Huangzhuang fields to pay for the military and civilian cultivation, lose the national tax, manage the Zhuang ministers forever for the revolution, or to the Huangzhuang to establish for a long time, difficult to discuss the reform ......"

The matter that Xiao Jing read out next involved the accumulation of disadvantages in the Zhengde Dynasty.

Since Zhu Si ascended the throne, the imperial court has discussed several times in succession, and it is clear that the Huangzhuang will be abolished, and Zhang Yong, who was previously responsible for managing the Huangzhuang, has been dismissed.

However, when it comes to a lot of land in Huangzhuang, if it is directly removed, it will involve the problem of selling it at a small profit.

Before, the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling called Jiang Lun to buy the land of Huangzhuang together, saying that it was related, and they could buy it with a little money, but this matter was stabbed to the emperor, and the problem of Huangzhuang cutting leather became a suspense again.

Generally......

said before that he would sell it, but now Zhu Si doesn't want to sell it.

Even if it is to be sold in the future, it will have to wait for the imperial court to give a specific strategy, not that after the abolition of the imperial village, these fields will be sold and the silver will be returned to the household department.

These fields are considered to have left a "political legacy" by Emperor Zhengde, and the income originally belonged to the Inner Government, so why should they be returned to the household department after they are sold out now?

Therefore, Xiao Jing finally said that "it may be established in Huangzhuang for a long time, and it will be difficult to discuss reform", which means that this Huangzhuang system is not unique to the Zhengde Dynasty, one theory is that there was one in the Yongle period, and the more mainstream theory is that Tianshun officially had Huangzhuang after Xianzong ascended the throne in the eighth year.

"History of the Ming Dynasty: Food and Goods Zhi I" recorded: "Xianzong ascended the throne and submerged into Cao Jixiangdi as the palace village, and the name of Huangzhuang began from this. ”

It is said that in the ninth year of Jeongdeok, Huangzhuang covers an area of more than 37,500 hectares, and at the same time, there are a large number of official schools, Zhuang heads, eunuchs in charge of Zhuang and so on, bullying men and women, and the people are miserable.

It is a good thing to correct the accumulation of malpractices, but if it is all eliminated at once, it will also cause the inner government to suffer huge losses, which is a bit too hasty.

And this time, in addition to the Huangzhuang, there is also the noble "old land", to put it bluntly, the land obtained by the magnates by merger, most of them are not purchased from the market at normal prices, almost forcibly occupied, these years the magnates rarely do business, mostly occupy land, land is the greatest wealth of this era.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, isn't the matter of the Imperial Village being decided early?" Why bring it up again? ”

Zhu Si didn't answer, as soon as he raised his hand, he asked Xiao Jing to retreat, and Zhang Zuo, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, came out to answer: "Elder Yang Ge, that's the case, after the previous decree was made to cut the Huangzhuang Zhuang, His Majesty sent Dongchang and Jinyi Wei to supervise it, and found that there were frequent cases of selling the Huangzhuang land at a low price, but many of the emperor's relatives and relatives did not take action, but bought a large number of land, so the bad impact caused by this is only afraid that it is even worse than before, right?" ”

Yang Tinghe was silent.

Zhang Zuodao: "This is not Tongzhou Zhizhou, the land of the emperor's relatives and heroes has increased rapidly, and the harm caused to the people is not small, even if it has to be disposed of, it must be appropriate, and it cannot be corrected at one time, and there must be a gradual process in the middle." ”

Yang Tinghe pinned his head to the side.

Of course, he knew the problem, but the current general trend was to deny everything in the Zhengde Dynasty, which was in line with the interests of both the civil officials and the interests of the new emperor, and the two sides should have reached a consensus, but now the emperor began to rectify the moth in order to keep the imperial village.

Zhu Sidao: "Hubu, I asked you to be in charge of the matter of cutting the Imperial Zhuang, why did it happen cheaply?" ”

Qin Jin, the household servant, came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter ...... The Ministry of Household did not know. ”

Qin Jingang was transferred to the position of the left squire of the household department, because now that Sun Jiao, the head of the household department, has not yet taken office, many things are actually difficult for him to control, he is not a book of letters, plus there is a strong Yang Tinghe in the left and right courts, what can a household servant do in this kind of thing?

Jiang Mian glared at Qin Jin and said, "Qin Shilang, the household department is in charge of this matter, how dare you say that you don't know?" ”

Qin Jin said: "The household department previously mobilized too many people to audit the river work, and there was no one in the household department who was responsible for the matter of cutting the Huangzhuang, this time it was said that it would be cut, involving too many fields, and there were people from the Governor's Mansion who took away the land deed of the Huangzhuang, saying that they would be registered in the government, and it was difficult for the household department to contact......

In general, it is that the household department did not have a special position to manage the Huangzhuang in the past, which was not a matter of the household department, and it was previously taken care of by the inner government.

Now the eunuchs in the imperial village have been abolished, which is equivalent to saying that those imperial villages have become ownerless, and the nobles in the governor's mansion rely on the relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe to directly take away the disposal of the imperial village, which led to the sale of the Huangzhuang land.

Zhu Sidao: "I didn't expect that just to get rid of some of the shortcomings of the previous emperor, such a situation occurred, and those imperial houses are also court assets, so easy to be stolen, it makes people feel cold." ”

When Yang Tinghe heard this, this kid was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai, saying that I didn't distinguish between public and private, and handed over the disposal of the imperial village to the Governor's Mansion?

"I have done it, everyone and listen to it, whether it is feasible!"

Zhu Si said and gestured to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing walked out again, and said loudly: "Qin order, where the emperor's field understands the opening of the register, attached to the management of the lawsuit, do not set up a member of the head of the household department, the special supervisor of the tax, on time to release the household department, transfer to the inner government, its lord Tian Tu also beggars the official Charlie, if the old amount is given a hearing order, the management of the business is still the system, the minimum rent per mu is three cents of silver, in addition, the slightest encroachment on the tenants, if it is a recent package to seize and buy and other items, order to return." ”

Xiao Jing was the old man of the palace in the end, and when he read Zhu Si's opinion in public, his tone was slow, word by word, and the tone was frustrated, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

Naturally, it carries a kind of imperial majesty.

The opinion of the new emperor is, in general...... These fields are not sold for the time being, and continue to be managed by the imperial court, but no longer set up any positions such as eunuchs in charge of the village, but add a head of the household department, who is responsible for taking care of the imperial village, and the rent and tax collected are then handed over to the inner government by the household department.

Land that has recently been encroached upon is to be returned.

After listening, Yang Tinghe took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this the old system of the Imperial Village retained?" ”

Zhu Sidao: "How can this be considered a reservation?" Many imperial villages are set up by old people, if they are sold together, why do Jingshi have so many people who buy land? The land of the Huangzhuang must be sold cheaply, and there will be a situation where the emperor's relatives buy it on their own, which is to ignore the interests of the imperial court. ”

Yang Tinghe said: "But the shortcomings of Huangzhuang should be swept away in time!" ”

Zhu Si shook his head and sighed lightly: "Elder Yang Ge, what I mean is that the household department should first manage these farms, the household department is always under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there will be no deviation in formulating and abiding by the system, and the Huangzhuang will be returned to the people little by little in the next few years, if so many farms are sold at one time, it will not be a good thing for the people who have farmland around the capital, what do you say?" ”

Yang Tinghe had a dark face, not knowing what to say.

The problem is that Zhu Si did not have an unprovoked attack, and previously made it clear to the ministers present through Qin Jin's dictation, that is, there was a great problem in the disposal of the assets of the imperial village, and the household department could not have jurisdiction over it, and there was also a situation where the nobles bought land from their own homes, and the land was only transferred from the hands of the imperial court to the hands of those nobles, and only gave the household department a little money to send Hanako......

Sounds like child's play.

Zhu Si is reasonable, so it is reasonable to propose to hand over the Huangzhuang to the household department to take care of it now.

Qin Jin, the left attendant of the household department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who will lead this errand and take the authority and responsibility of governing the imperial village as the director?" ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but look at the past.

Listening to the meaning of this, Qin Jin should have received an order from the emperor to let him say so in the court.

Look at you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how dare you betray the revolution?

Thinking about it again, now the household department was appointed by the new emperor to Sun Jiao, and the Ministry of Industry is nominally in the hands of the new emperor.

Zhu Sidao: "This candidate must have experience in managing Zhuangtian, and I will draw it up as appropriate and discuss it with you...... The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households submitted candidates for my reference. ”

The ministers present listened.

This kind of fat difference is actually an "audition"? Can people from all factions recommend their own people to go up? Sound...... It seems that there is a lot of oil and water.

After all, many of Huangzhuang's accounts are lake accounts, and whoever manages them will be able to reap a lot of benefits from them.

Who doesn't want a piece of the pie?
