Chapter 232: Fourteen guards under the pro-army
"Alright, stop arguing."
The roofs were about to be lifted, and in order to compete for these fourteen pro-military guards, the civil servants who had always been civil and crepe almost fought, and they didn't look like civil officials at all.
Zhu Di couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "The military department and the household department have their own opinions, I want to be fair, let these people decide?" ”
After saying this, the hall was suddenly full of discussions.
"What do you mean, what do you mean by letting them decide for themselves?"
"That's right, what do these ignorant people know?"
The ministers gradually argued, they were arguing about which side of these people's household registration was counted, and they were still under the military registration, so naturally they were still under the control of the military department.
But if it is classified as a citizen, it will be under the control of the household department, and only the twelve guards will be left, that is, all the officials and soldiers of the fourteen guards will be laid off.
It's not these people specifically, but their respective families, this is the head of the competition between the military department and the household department, this is the fourteen guards.
There must be at least one or two thousand hereditary officers of the Fourteen Guards, and counting those non-commissioned officers, how many family members there are, even if it is to be calculated in ten thousand.
So many people have changed from military registration to civilian registration, what a big piece of cake this is, the household department can grab these, and you have to wake up with a smile when you dream, especially the household department directly takes over these officials, which is equivalent to finding a gold medal for avoiding death in Jingcha.
What does that mean?
In order to cooperate with the smooth implementation of the new law of folding mu in Henan, Zhu Di carried out a period of Beijing inspection in Beijing, with the intention of screening a team of officials, and the second was to deter Beijing officials.
Let the strong umbrella of these places not go too far.
But the Jingshi dragon insects are mixed, there are many big and old, but there are more small fish and shrimp, and these people do everything to avoid being laid off after Jingcha.
Among the households, there are also a lot of such small shrimps, especially those who are in charge of household registration, who usually have no, and few political achievements are on them.
If all the people in the lower fourteen guards are converted into civilian registration this time, whether it is fishermen's registration, salt household registration, or stove household registration, they will all be under the control of the household department.
That also means that tens of thousands of people's political achievements are coming, and if they have political achievements during the Jingcha period, as long as they don't make big mistakes, at least there is no big problem in keeping this black veil on their heads.
But the question arises again, what about the Ministry of War, is the Ministry of War willing?
The families of the non-commissioned officers and officers of the Fourteenth Guard, at least tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, said that they would be handed over to the household department?
Taking away someone's money is like killing your parents!
If one is satisfied, the other will be dissatisfied, because the number of household registrations on the yellow book is fixed, and the number of people who are classified as civilians will be as many as the number of military registrations disappear.
This is an unacceptable result for the military department.
But since it was the emperor who spoke, it was not okay not to give this face, and it was necessary to discuss this opinion, but the ministers had the right to refuse.
This is the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the later Tatar Qing Dynasty, the opinions put forward by the Tatar Qing Emperor, the civil servants often only bend their knees, long live, long live.
Zhu Di's words were barely accepted by the Ministry of Households, but the Ministry of War was very dissatisfied.
Why?
These tens of thousands of people were originally in the military, why did they let him choose by himself?
In fact, the people in the military department also know that from the Hongwu period to the present, the phenomenon of military households escaping without permission has been repeatedly prohibited.
No matter how much the Yongle, Renxuan, and Orthodox dynasties increased the punishment, it was useless, and there were always more and more military households who escaped without permission.
This kind of problem is caused by the fact that the military household system is slowly rotting, and it cannot be eliminated simply by increasing the intensity of punishment, even during the Hongwu period.
Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of War knew that if they let those Diao people choose by themselves according to what the emperor said, the result would be almost no different from handing it over to the Ministry of Households.
The military families were about to escape, and returning to the civilian status was a good thing for them to fall from the sky, and it was too late to ask the Bodhisattva, how could they refuse.
Zhu Di also knew this, and the reason why he proposed this plan was to give the military department a face.
Since the defense of Beijing, the power of the military department has become more and more prosperous, and it has overwhelmed the military generals and nobles, and the household department is not an opponent at all.
Yu Qian also knew that the military department was not his hall of words, and many people were dissatisfied with him as a commander, and speaking at that time was self-inflicted humiliation.
Now Zhu Di has proposed a compromise plan, although it is no different from directly handing it over to the household department, but after all, he has saved the face of the military department, and he will go down the slope and get off the donkey.
Yu Qian also knew that most of the children of military households were eager to be exempted from the status of hereditary military households, which was a good thing that the people longed for, and he naturally tried his best to fulfill it.
So, he said silently: "Whether it is classified as a citizen or still under the military nationality, it is not advisable, and it is very appropriate for the minister to see what His Majesty said." ”
Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty is generous and merciful, allowing these military families to decide their own ownership can also reduce the resistance to the removal of pro-military guards." ”
"What do the cabinet ministers think?"
Chen Xun was watching a good show, but when he heard this, he was stunned, and looked at Hu Hu's smiling expression angrily, and suddenly scolded in his heart, this old fox!
No matter how angry he is, he still has to maintain Zaifu's demeanor on his face, and he said seriously: "What Your Majesty said, the minister also thinks it is very appropriate, and you can do this." ”
yes, otherwise what else can be done?
Handed over to the Ministry of War, can the Ministry of Households be willing?
Handed over to the household department, can the military department be willing?
That's it, everyone take a step back, don't tear your face in the hall for this household registration.
Chen Xun has already expressed his position on behalf of the cabinet, although the prestige of the new cabinet chief assistant is not as high as that of the predecessor Wang Zhi, but it is also second to him, and there are many old friends in the DPRK and China.
This face, the military department still has to give it, not to mention that Yu Qian, as their commander, has already spoken, so there is no need to make too much trouble at this time.
The officials of the military department discussed for a long time, and then they retreated one after another.
Hu Hu's eyes were thieves, and he immediately shouted: "Thanks to Your Majesty's mighty heaven, solve this matter, and the Fourteenth Guards will definitely thank God when they learn of Your Majesty's ruling!" ”
"Alright, so be it." Zhu Di hurriedly left.
Hu Hui, this old thing, blew too much, Zhu Di was harsh when he heard it.
It's better to run quickly, otherwise this old thing will blow out a few more words, and Zhu Di's face will not be serious!
Returning to the Qianqing Hall with a straight face and walking to the inner hall, Zhu Di laughed out loud until his stomach hurt, because watching those people in the military department eat deflated is really a pleasant thing.
Then, Zhu Di sat on the couch and began to think about the next step.
After all, it is a great thing to change the military registration to the civilian nationality, and the implementation should not be a big problem, at least it will not be as laborious as folding acres.
After the reduction, the next step is to expand the army, fill in the remaining twelve pro-army guards, and train them personally.
Then, it came to the stage of Zhu Di's long-awaited Northern Expedition.
"Wara, your grandfather Taizong will be back soon."
