It's really a bit less, and a few thousand catties of potatoes don't sound too much, and if you want to plant 4,000 acres of land, you have to rely on those sweet potatoes.

After lunch, the emperor took a bag of potatoes and took his courtiers back to the palace satisfied.

Just when the courtiers thought that the emperor would reward the king of Yujun with a big reward, the right minister finally wrote a letter of serious illness asking for retirement, and the next day the emperor proposed to cancel the prime minister system and set up a cabinet.

"Your Majesty, the Daxing Dynasty has implemented the prime minister system since the founding of the People's Republic of China, how can the emperor change the will of the founding emperor without authorization?"

The emperor said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, the reason why the prime minister system was established was because Jin and Lu accompanied Emperor Taizu to his birth and death.

The position of prime minister was originally set up by the two adults Jin and Lu, but now that the two adults are long gone, and even their families have declined, what is wrong with canceling the prime minister system? ”

The courtiers were speechless.

Seeing that these people stopped talking, the emperor said again: "When the two prime ministers are there, a few scholars will handle confidential affairs with them.

From now on, a cabinet will be formed, and the cabinet members will be the original five scholars, who were originally five-rank officials and promoted to third-class.

The original Inspectorate set up another inspector envoy, the grade is a good grade, and the right governor Yu Shi Lu was promoted to the inspector of the imperial history. ”

The original bachelor is the emperor's secretary, not to mention that his official position is not high, and he has no right to speak, but now he has not only been promoted from the fifth rank to the third rank official, but he also does not have to do things under the supervision of the prime ministers, which can be said to be a big rise in status.

The Inspectorate was originally the left governor and the right governor of the imperial envoy as the highest governor of the Inspectorate, respectively, the second grade, and now the right governor of the imperial history has been promoted two levels in a row, and has become the first product of the inspector of the imperial history, the left governor of the imperial history Zhang Cong's face sank suddenly, originally he and Lord Lu were at the same level, and now, people have become their own top boss, and he is extremely aggrieved.

However, the emperor's words were not finished, "Gu Xian, the former imperial historian, was promoted to the second rank of the right governor of the imperial history. ”

Lord Lu and Gu Xian immediately came out and kowtowed to thank him.

No one expected that Gu Xian, who had canceled the prime minister system, would be directly promoted to three levels in a row.

The emperor asked the two to be even, "In addition, the salaries of all the courtiers will also be raised, the first grade will be adjusted from the first grade official annual salary to 6,000 taels, Lu rice 6,000 stones, and the second grade will be 5,500 taels from the second grade official Lu 5,500 taels, and Lu rice 5,500 stone ......."

"Similarly, the standard for the crime of embezzlement has been changed to 500 taels, and anyone who commits the crime of corruption will be severely punished with 20 boards, and all the proceeds of corruption will be recovered, the fine will be doubled, and the official will be directly removed from office."

It means that I will give you a long salary, if you are still greedy, then don't be an official, go home and eat yourself.

The officials immediately did not bother with whether to cancel the prime minister system, because everyone's most important concern is always their own interests, anyway, if the prime minister system is not abolished, they will not be able to be prime ministers, but this time the prime minister is closely related to them.

"And!" The courtiers are usually afraid to hear the emperor say the word "and", but today these two words are very pleasing to their ears.

"The secretary of the military department will be reinstated, and a reward of five hundred taels of gold will be awarded."

Yes, it has nothing to do with them, and somehow, these courtiers are a little disappointed.

The secretary of the military department should have been reinstated a long time ago, after all, the one that came at the negotiation table was just a show, but fortunately, Gu Xian was arrogant enough at that time, so that the treacherous King Mingxuan believed the words of the secretary of the military department, if he changed people, he would definitely not achieve that effect.

Next, the emperor sent down the salary adjustment table of the officials of the ninth grade and the eighteenth rank, and the courtiers became more and more excited the more they watched.

The original Zhengcong first-grade and Zhengcong-second-grade officials paid double the amount of silver per month of 180 taels of glutam, and officials of other levels did not have double the amount of lulu to take, and the third-grade officials had more than 1,000 taels of lulu and more than 1,000 stone of lu rice a year.

It's good now, the third-grade official has 4,500 taels of Lu a year alone, and there are 4,500 stone of Lu rice, that is, a mere nine-rank minor official can also receive 1,000 taels of silver plus the same amount of Lu rice every year, you must know that the original nine-rank official can only receive 30 taels of silver plus a little Lu rice every month.

After the next dynasty, Qi Zhangyuan, the six Shangshu, the inspector and the imperial envoy Lu, King Chen and the crown prince were all called to the Chaoyang Palace to discuss matters.

First, the spring is coming, and the emperor still ordered Qi Zhangyuan to be responsible for this matter.

In addition, the emperor also has to inspect the following officials, this inspection is completely different from the assessment of the ministry, the members are basically composed of members of the royal family, the prince Anwang, the king of Yujun, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince and the second inspector, the assessment process adopts a scoring system, an official interview, even the six books can not be an exception, the comprehensive score is high to stay, not suitable, the spring will start immediately, and someone can be on top at any time.

So, that night, many officials who got the news hurriedly moved, and the emperor's words were still in his ears, and accepting 500 taels was guilty of accepting bribes, and when he saw those who came to the door with gifts, he was politely invited out, and those with a bad temper were directly scolded by people with gifts.

On the cusp of this storm, who dares to accept those gifts, they don't want to go home and eat themselves!

So, starting from the tenth day of the first month, King Chen and his nephews (after more than three months of hard work, the small composition of the Seven Princes was finally reluctantly passed by the emperor, and the grounding was naturally lifted) and Lu Yushi's powerful scoring group went around the various departments.

From the big Shangshu to the small one, each one will be questioned, of course, these questions are set by King Chen after privately looking for Ye Hanyu to study, and then the scoring team headed by King Chen will score each of them, and then all the booklets after scoring will be presented to the emperor, and those who have been inspected can continue to stay in office or be promoted, and those who are too low will either be demoted, or they can only go home and eat themselves.

Do the members of these expeditions really think that it is enough to just score them? They also have to list one, two, or three points that are so scored, and of course you can also say that you don't comment on the person if you don't know the person, then you don't need to give a score.

The emperor mainly looks at the evaluation of the sixth son, and the evaluation of other people is not important, because the others are just pulled to accompany and tie up!

Ye Hanyu's evaluation is almost full, whether they have abilities and advantages and disadvantages, as well as who they are, such as Chu Shilang from the military department, Ye Hanyu marked Chu Shilang in the Qinglou incident last time, but at that time I didn't know what was wrong with him.

But this time, Ye Hanyu directly wrote that Chu Shilang was King An's person.

If this matter was poked out by someone else, or King An has been honestly nesting in King An's mansion as his sick son, the emperor will definitely suspect that person is someone else's intentions, but it is very unfortunate that the most "self-motivated" of his sons is the sixth child, and he will not use this method to yin others.
