Chapter 180: Professional Blame Bearer
Inside the temple.
The sound of trial reform has been echoing for a long time.
Zhu Yunxi himself is also very moved, and the people in the world can rise and fall. Without the support of the people, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to last forever. And those official gentry, even when it is time to change the dynasty, only need to kneel on the ground easily, and they can continue to enjoy this peaceful and prosperous life.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely, sighed lowly, and then said his vision full of expectation and hope.
"The country is open to the source, and the people will never be endowed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows moved, and his gaze gradually deepened.
Zhu Biao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a pair of legs that had not yet recovered, but he suddenly trembled.
Zhu Biao's face was indistinguishable, and he whispered: "Never give ......"
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Yes." The grandson is in charge of the situation in Zhejiang Province. There are few people who own land, but many people who work for merchants. There are many landless people, so under such circumstances, how can it continue to collect taxes on the people on their acres.
Grain grows out of the field, not out of thin air. No matter who occupies the land, the imperial court only collects a fixed amount of taxes on this land, and the local government can no longer use means to conceal it from the imperial court. The imperial court's income per year of land and acres also has a base.
The official gentry and businessmen had a lot of preferential treatment, and it was their duty and obligation to give them preferential treatment and pay taxes according to the amount. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man: "Grandpa, our family came out of Fengyang Guzhuang Village, and came out of the people. Why only collect their taxes, and give preferential treatment to those gentry and merchants who are supported by the people of the world? How unfair is it to the people? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered constantly at this time.
He whispered, "Come out of the people...... Yes, we can't forget Ben. ”
Seeing the old man say this, Zhu Yunxi said excitedly: "Grandpa agreed?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his good grandson and was about to speak.
Sun Gou'er walked in: "Your Majesty, you have arrived in the central hall." ”
……
Jinyiwei Yamen received a report from Jinyiwei in Zhejiang Province today.
Similarly, the yamen of the various ministries of the court in Yingtian City also received a letter from Zhejiang Dao like snowflakes today.
Without exception, all of them are saying that Zhejiang Province is experiencing a snow disaster, local civil unrest, and Ningbo Prefecture is suffering from a disaster.
Zhan Hui and the others walked into the side hall, bowed down and looked at the three members of the Heavenly Family who looked worried, and their hearts tightened slightly.
"Ministers see Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Imperial Grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly and glanced at these ministry officials.
"Everything about Zhejiang Dao, do you know?"
"The ministers already know."
"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "On the way here, we have all discussed, what is the way to come out now." ”
Everyone was puzzled, and the emperor did not reprimand them for their incompetence as soon as they opened their mouths, and Zhejiang Dao was incompetent, which caused changes in the place. Instead, I skipped the reprimand and asked them directly.
As the chief civil official of the court, Zhan Hui cautiously stepped forward, bowed down and clenched his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at the moment, he should practice Zhejiang Dao, pacify the place, open a warehouse for relief, give rice and clothing, and build a shack, so as not to let the people who have suffered from the snow disaster freeze in the wild."
The imperial court also had to allocate money and grain to Zhejiang Province for relief to the people. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office need to send troops to strictly defend various places, suppress the chaotic people, and clear up the troubles in Ningbo. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, this is the practice of giving relief in the past.
He said again: "You can calculate how much grain the court will take out this time." ”
Zhao Mian, the secretary of the household department, immediately came out: "Back to Your Majesty, the household department has already calculated, this time the snow disaster in Zhejiang Province is very widespread, except for Yanzhou and Hengzhou, almost all the territory of Zhejiang Province has suffered from the snow disaster. There is not much grain in the local government warehouse in Zhejiang Province. The imperial court will probably spend 300,000 taels of money and 500,000 stone of grain this time. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "300,000 taels of silver, 500,000 stone of grain...... Is there so much left of the imperial court now? ”
The imperial court has been overstretched all these years, lest there be several more disasters in the local area in a year.
Zhao Mian smiled at this time, and didn't forget to glance at Zhu Yunxi: "Back to Your Majesty, this year's autumn grain has been released and put into the warehouse, and the 500,000 stone grain court can also handle it." As for the money, there were very few in the library, but fortunately, some time ago, there was a post station restructuring dedicated by the emperor's grandson.
At present, it has been implemented in the whole territory of Zhili for several months, and the six provinces of Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian have also been implemented for more than half a month, and the household department has also accumulated a lot of money. ”
It is rare to hear that the imperial court is not short of food or money, and can calmly help the disaster.
The worry on Zhu Yuanzhang's face couldn't help but relax, and he saw that Zhao Mian mentioned the post station restructuring made by his good grandson at this time, and he earned so much silver for the imperial court.
He couldn't help but chuckle and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "I didn't think about it, but you kid has made another contribution." ”
Zhan Hui said in a timely manner: "The emperor's grandson Yu Guojiangong, the ministers can only deal with the disaster calmly now." Having the emperor's grandson is really a blessing for my dynasty! ”
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still smiling and praising the emperor's grandson just now, suddenly changed his face.
When he changed, Zhan Hui and the others immediately became nervous, and they didn't know what the emperor thought of again.
Just when the people were panicking.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Zhejiang Daobu political envoy is incompetent!" Poor relief has forced the people to revolt.
Zhejiang's punishment was incompetent, and the local gentry and merchants disguised themselves as Japanese robbers and plundered places.
Zhejiang's command is incompetent, the Ningbo Mansion is incompetent, and the thieves are robbing and encroaching but are powerless to suppress and suppress! ”
After a few words, the emperor directly scolded the top and bottom of Zhejiang Road as incompetent.
Just when Zhan Hui wanted to say that now that disaster relief is important, he must not tamper with the officialdom of Zhejiang Dao.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken faintly: "It's rotten!" It's all rotten! I don't believe them anymore! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but look sideways at the father on the side.
The old man has already decided to implement the apportionment into the mu in Zhejiang Province, the integration of the officials and gentry to pay grain, and the supervision of commercial taxes.
Old man, this is foreshadowing!
Zhan Hui and the others changed their faces sharply, the emperor's words were very meaningful, under the premise that the emperor did not believe in the officialdom of Zhejiang Dao, this time the imperial court gave relief to Zhejiang Dao, I am afraid that there will be changes.
It can be regarded as Zhan Hui's cleverness, and he immediately whispered tentatively: "Your Majesty, this time Zhejiang Dao was seriously affected and involved too widely, should the imperial court send a messenger to supervise the relief work?" ”
The emperor didn't believe in the officialdom of Zhejiang Dao, so he must have intended to let the imperial court directly take on the disaster relief.
After Zhan Hui finished speaking, Zhao Mian beside him immediately glanced at him.
Zhan Lao'er is quick to speak, and he can always speak according to His Majesty's wishes.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "We do have this intention, but we are just a candidate for the Qin Mission......
Zhu Yunxi knelt in front of the old man with a puff.
"Grandpa, grandson, as the grandson of Emperor Daming, shoulders the responsibility of supervising the country. This time, there are thousands of people in Zhejiang Province, who are starving and experiencing a cold winter. The grandson is willing to invite himself to Zhejiang Province to help the disaster! ”
The old man of the emperor feels so sorry for the imperial grandson, it must be impossible for the imperial grandson to go to Zhejiang Dao, which gave birth to the people's rebellion at this time.
Zhan Hui thought about it in his heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the imperial grandson is the foundation of the country, at this time, the disaster situation in Zhejiang Province is unknown, and the minister thinks that he should choose another old man in the court and go to Zhejiang Province to supervise the disaster relief." ”
Zhu Yunxi also wanted to grab this errand so that he could personally go to Zhejiang to carry out the reform trial.
But I didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to speak quickly: "Let's think the same way, the DPRK and China should send important ministers to deter Zhejiang Province and strictly prevent small troubles." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the obedient grandson who knelt down beside him and asked to leave Beijing.
Then he looked at Zhan Hui and the others: "Let's think, the second child of our family is in Beijing now, let him go to Zhejiang Dao, what do you think?" ”
King Qin?
Let him go to Zhejiang Province to provide disaster relief for the imperial court?
Zhan Hui and the others couldn't help but hesitate.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Although the second child is not eye-catching, it is enough to deter Zhejiang Dao." Let's let the imperial grandson and Tang Li also go over as deputies. ”
Zhu Yunxi, who was still kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but grow his mouth.
When the old man said this, he did not object to his request.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
His good second uncle has to take the blame for himself again this time.
