Chapter 138: The Five Great Traitors, Wei Zhongxian Becomes the Pioneer of Reform!
"Uncle Guo is opening an imperial shop for His Majesty, so we should naturally be loyal and share the favor of the monarch and the people when the time comes."
Han Yi was the first person to eat the sweetness by cooperating with Zhang Gui to operate the Xichang store, so he agreed first.
Moreover, he also knew that as a civil official, he could not directly ask the imperial court to open an official store.
Because now in the Ming Dynasty, officials and businessmen have long been combined, and behind every businessman is the background of the official gentry.
If he did this, he would be scolded even worse by the bureaucrats and doctors, who would scold him for competing with the people for profit.
As a member of the civil officials, he naturally did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world, and like Xichang, because of the emperor's support, he could ignore the feelings of the world's officials, gentlemen, and doctors.
Therefore, Han Yi can only share a part of the business profits of the world's officials and gentry by investing in the West Factory, as nutrients to nourish his Han family.
Yuan Keli also knew that most of the business profits in the world were seized by the local clans and gentry, and it was naturally inconvenient for the civil officials of the foreign dynasty to take the benefits of these people. ”
Chen Zizhuang and Wei Zhongxian also agreed.
"That's right! Reform and change the law, we can't just be rich countries and not rich families, so how can we get our family members to support us in doing this? ”
"If you don't take shares, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to let you preside over the reform anymore!"
"Since everyone is willing, when the time comes, you send the money to make a book, and I will ask Han Qi to report to you regularly on the business status of the Xichang direct store."
Zhang Gui said with a smile at this time.
Wei Zhongxian also smiled and said: "Everyone is a colleague of the Planning Department, how can you only invest in the West Factory and not the shareholder factory?" ”
After hearing this, Zhang Gui looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Your East Factory is also opening a store?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "The emperor agreed, our East Factory should also increase the internal income of the emperor like the West Factory, and by the way, we also learned from the West Factory, and sold the grain and salt obtained by the raid at a low price to stabilize prices, the emperor is benevolent, I don't want to see the people can't afford to eat salt, and they can't afford to buy food in disaster years, and the slaves and maids also want to do more for the people." Now, just to expand the number of stores, you need money, just waiting for the princes to buy some shares. ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Guidao: "If you enter the shares of my West Factory, I will naturally invest in your East Factory, and the courtesy is still exchanged." ”
Han Yi, Yuan Keli, and Chen Zizhuang also agreed.
Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "In the end, it is still our decision-making department that is united, next, let's continue to talk about changing the law, this post government system must be changed as soon as possible according to the will of Uncle Guo!" ”

"Other people don't know, but our family is the most supportive of this change, only by changing it in this way can we let our people live a good life, and our emperor's great cause can be realized!"
Because it was in his own interests, Wei Zhongxian suddenly seemed to have become a pioneer of reform.
Zhang Gui said at this time: "Since this is the case, then ask Yuan Zongxian to ask the imperial court to reform the post government!" ”
"In addition, in the following sense, it is better to expand the selection of officials, so that Xu officials and students can also be elected as Beijing officials, so that Xu officials can deal with Xu officials, and students can deal with students."
"That's good! Xu officials deal with Xu officials, and students deal with students. Uncle Guo has learned a lot, from seeking truth from facts in Hanshu to this sentence, which has made the contemptible people empowered. ”
After Yuan Keli agreed, he said: "The contemptible people plan to change the political sparseness now!" ”
"I'm afraid that some people don't understand the original intention of the imperial court to reform the post government so much to avoid the people being exploited, and the "Daming Daily" still asks Chen Shilang to write more special articles to analyze the purpose of this government to the people of the world. If the court does not guide it, it will be manipulated by treacherous people. ”
Zhang Gui said to Chen Zizhuang again.
Chen Zizhuang, who was in charge of publicity, nodded in agreement.
Wei Zhongxian said: "We will not be idle in Dongchang, if anyone is still dissatisfied with the new policy after reading the newspaper, we will arrest it directly!" ”
Han Yi also said: "The servant doesn't leave first, Yuan Gong plans to give the servant after the restructuring is sparse, and the servant is here to vote!" ”
Wei Zhongxian followed: "Then I'll also be here to approve the red!" ”
Zhang Gui smiled when he saw this, and he had to admit that with such an institution as the Department of Planning, the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's reform has also improved a lot.
As a result, the new post administration system was soon officially issued in the form of a clear edict.
Because the celebrant under the control of Wei Zhongxian, the cabinet controlled by Han Yi, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate controlled by Yuan Keli were all active in this matter, they quickly selected the patrol post Yushi who inspected the post station, the Zhangyi Qianhu of the West Factory, and the Inspector of the East Factory.
When the officials heard this, they were all shocked, and secretly scolded the five traitorous ministers of the Ming Dynasty for controlling the government and wantonly seizing the benefits of the gentry in the name of changing the law.
Li Kuilong, who was already dissatisfied with the new policy because of the reform of the official election system, could not make a fortune by selling official beards, and now saw that the Department of Policy was also reforming the post government, so he was angry and went up to the top, and directly accused the ministers of the Department of Policy for colluding inside and outside, controlling the government program, and setting up the Son of Heaven.
As soon as Li Kuilong's performance was released, he was exiled not long after he was exiled for the crime of arguing about the government and reversing right and wrong.
Obviously, the five ministers of the Department of Planning, who already have common interests and goals, do not allow anyone to obstruct the change of the law.
And the changes of the Apocalypse Dynasty are also continuing to make great strides forward.
"Humph!"
Zhang Sunzhen, who successfully resigned and returned to his hometown, lived in a restaurant opened by his family near the post station after arriving at a post station, and was looking at a copy of "Daming Daily".
But he didn't read it for long, and after seeing the "Daming Daily" report on why he was leaving office, he was quite dissatisfied and tore the newspaper to the ground.
Then, Zhang Sunzhen asked his servant: "Did the postman here send the silver?" ”
The servant replied, "Master, the postman here said that they really can't send three thousand taels of silver, so I ask for some exemption." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Sunzhen thought that he had been an official for less than a year, and he had not made anything, and now he had to resign and return to his hometown in advance, and he could not return to his hometown without being rich, so he was furious:
"Go and tell him that not a tael of silver is missing! Otherwise, believe it or not, a letter from this official can make his head drop! ”
"Yes!
The servant answered, "Go and tell him, little one." ”
"You're back!"
But at this time, Zhang Sunzhen called his servant again.
The servant replied, "Master, what else do you command?" ”
"When will the 30,000 catties of grain we brought back from Jingshi be shipped?"
Zhang Sunzhen asked.
In line with the purpose of not being an official in Beijing for once, Zhang Sunzhen, like many officials who left Beijing, would bring a batch of materials to places with high prices to resell.
Moreover, he also used his power to requisition a group of people as free labor to transport these supplies through local post stations.
And now, because the West Factory has transported a large amount of grain to the capital by purchasing grain overseas and recovering the levies, the price of grain in the capital is low, but the grain in Jiangnan is much higher than that in Beijing, so Zhang Sunzhen brought a batch of grain to Jiangnan to resell.
At this time, his servant replied, "Not yet, according to the inn, the people who have caught too few people, and besides, the people are willing to help us carry grain when they ask for a full meal, or give our grain to the people a stone, so that they can pull the boat faster?" ”
The servant replied.
"Indecent balloon's!"
Zhang Sunzhen directly slapped the servant, scolded, and said: "Whose slave are you, you actually speak for the untouchables!" I want to transport the grain back to Jiangnan to exchange for silver and filial piety! Not a single stone is missing! ”
The servant had to quickly kneel down and kowtow and beg for mercy: "The lord is angry, the lord is angry!" It's the slave's mouth that is cheap, and the slave's mouth is cheap! ”
Zhang Sun Zhen saw that his servant kowtowed and saw blood on his forehead, and the depression caused by reading "Daming Daily" was swept away, and he regained the pleasure of being a master, so he waved his hand and said:
"Go down! You took the people of the house to urge the people of the post station in person. By the way, catch a few women to cook! ”
Therefore, this servant was a group of Haohao slaves under Zhang Sunzhen who found the post here.
As soon as this post man saw this servant Wu Rui, he asked with a smile: "Uncle Rui, what did Master Zhang say, would you like us to give less at the post station?" ”
"Not a tael of silver is missing! Unless you don't want to live! These are the exact words of our master. ”
Wu Rui covered his face and said angrily.
This post man said "ah": "But we really can't take out so much, this county has never been rich." ”
"What's the use of telling me!"
Wu Rui replied, and said, "Don't forget the ten taels of silver you promised me." ”
This post man agreed: "Hey" and then asked this Wu Rui: "Your face." ”
"It's not that you were beaten for your word."
Wu Rui said a word, and said: "The people who pulled the boat continue to catch, and by the way, they also catch a few women to cook for our master." ”
"Can Mr. Zhang promise to give them something to eat?"
The poster asked.
"Nope!"
Wu Rui replied.
After hearing this, the post man didn't say anything more, but only ordered his post guard to continue to catch the nearby people.
A farmer, Li Erdan, was passing by here, but was blocked by two post guards.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Erdan asked a little panicked.
Without saying a word, these two post guards tied up Li Erdan and shouted: "The old man wants to requisition you to serve!" ”
Li Erdan struggled and shouted: "My eldest brother has already gone to serve, why do you want to arrest me!" ”
The two guards ignored it and only arrested Li Erdan.
And Li Da Dan here was beaten by Wu Rui because Zhang Sunzhen refused to give him food, and he said a few more words.
"Ahh
Li Da Dan screamed miserably, and said: "You have so much food, you don't want us to eat a little, you only know that let us work in vain, we are so hungry that we can't pull the boat!" ”
Syllable!
This Wu Rui whipped Li Dadan: "If you can't pull it, you have to pull it, you are hungry, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu!" ”
"Big brother!"
Li Erdan came over at this time and saw this scene and couldn't help shouting.
And at this time, Huang Degong, the commander of the Qianhu River, Qi Biaojia, the patrol station, and Wang Chengen, the inspector of the station, happened to pass by here with their respective official schools to inspect them.
Huang Degong first asked: "Who are you, why are you beating the people here!" ”
Wu Rui saw that Huang Degong and the others had the honor guards of the West Factory, the East Factory, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "We are the slaves of the Zhang family of Huoshan, and the head of the family is Sun Zhen of the Zhang family, the new science and technology jinshi. ”
At the same time, Qi Biaojia called the post here and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
