Chapter 426: Got it, I'll make a lot of money

The emperor took a sip of tea, and then said: "I have asked the General Administration Department to also restructure, and in the future, all the scripts will be sorted first and then sent." ”

That is, when it is sent over in the future, the General Administration Department will deal with it first, and divide it into six categories, and it is not sure which one is a separate category.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect to come in a hurry this time, but he only thought of it now.

At this time, the emperor waved his hand, and all the ministers quickly stopped, stared one after another, waited for the emperor to speak, and pricked up their ears to listen.

Except for Yang Pu, the rest of the people were either in the cabinet at the beginning of Yongle, or the abolished prince and Zhu Di's important ministers, and now they can still work in front of the new emperor, of course, they are very nervous.

"Some of the twists and turns may not belong to the six parts, such as greeting peace, offering advice (including persuasion before becoming emperor) and other trivial things."

Please be safe this kind of play, in the Qing Dynasty is the most popular, the following feudal officials can also have nothing to do with the fold, to the emperor to say goodbye, the emperor has to approve, I know, just say thank you to your family.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, some civil officials still had to nod their faces, and they didn't ask the emperor for peace at every turn.

But when the new emperor takes office, there will still be people below who will do this, and Zhu Gaoxu wants to scold people when he sees this kind of twist.

Shall I ask you.

"These are also given to Yang Shiqi alone."

The ministers nodded again.

"After reading the recital, you first write down your opinions on a piece of paper, sandwich them in the recital, and finally register them on another piece of paper."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and waved his hand at this time, and Zhong Xian hurriedly waved his hand behind, and a wave of little eunuchs walked up.

The eunuchs gave their seven ministers pens, ink, and paper on the edge of their tables.

There are two kinds of paper, one is ordinary official paper sandwiched in the fold, and the other is parchment paper that is finally statistically summed together.

There was also a strange table drawn on the parchment.

The first row of the first line reads: Source of the fold.

That is, who is playing and what official position.

The second row reads: Probably what, because some of the folds may be very long, so simply explain what the folds are in a few words.

The third row reads: Ling's reply.

Several ministers felt that it was quite novel, and it was estimated that the new emperor came up with it.

Hu Guang wanted to say a few words of compliment, but after thinking about it, he was embarrassed to say it.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "After you read the fold, I feel that it is more important, put it in the front, especially important, at the bottom of the paper, write a heavy word." ”

The emperor said a lot, but everyone listened carefully and remembered it well, for fear of missing a word.

After finishing speaking, with Zhu Gaoxu waving his hand, everyone hurriedly got busy.

Divide the pile of folds into categories, and then bury your head and start looking.

After a while, Yang Shiqi made a lot of twists and turns.

Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded, because Yang Shiqi did not belong to the sixth department.

How is it the most up?

He asked Zhong Xian to take a copy casually.

Open the first fold, it is the transcription of Du Zhi, the right political envoy of Shaanxi: "I respectfully ask His Majesty the Emperor Sheng'an, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

And then there was none.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head: "What did Du Zhi do before he was the political envoy of Shaanxi?" ”

Others were still thinking, and Huang Huai immediately said: "In the second year of Yongle, Du Zhi was promoted to the prefect of Beiping and promoted to the right political envoy of Shaanxi. ”

Du Zhi turned out to be the prefect of Beiping, Zhu Di's person.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately replied below: "The Ministry of Officials has appointed him as a Fuzhou post man." ”

Then throw it into a box behind you.

Behind him are seven chests, representing the six and the other.

The original will be sent to the Ministry of Officials for processing, and the copy will be filed by the Six Branch Corridors, and then the newspaper will be compiled and distributed by the newspaper and released to the public.

Among them, there will be one less step for the celebrant to approve the red in the future, because the power of the celebrant was canceled by Zhu Gaoxu.

Of course, in the future, there may be an early death of the emperor, and the crown prince is still young when he succeeds to the throne, so what should the emperor do if he approves this step?

When the cabinet approves on behalf of the cabinet, the eunuchs cannot be allowed to have exclusive power.

However, Zhu Gaoxu thought that after the removal of Kang Mazi and the last emperor, no emperor would ever be young, so as long as the later restructuring is in place and the princes are strictly managed, it is theoretically impossible for the emperor to be young.

Usually the emperor is young, and it is caused by the turmoil and political turmoil of the court.

Du Zhi definitely didn't expect that he would be demoted to a postman after making a sycophant.

Zhu Gaoxu's trick is also Zhu Di.

In the second year of Yongle, Yunnan Buzheng Secretary Zuo participated in politics Zhang Ding, and was a postman in Texas for his crimes

At that time, not long after Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yunnan, Zhang Ding didn't know what was going on and was demoted to a post man.

That Zhang Dingping usually respected Zhu Gaoxu, and when he left, he came to visit Zhu Gaochu and looked at him with blank eyes, but unfortunately Zhu Gaochu was unable to help him at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and motioned Zhong Xian to take back the notebook he had just thrown away, and he wrote a sentence later.

Zhang Ding, the postman of Dezhou, was appointed as the political envoy of Zuobu.

The corners of Zhong Xian's mouth twitched slightly, he looked left and right, lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the one who wants Your Majesty to write a holy decree." ”

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhong Xian is also relatively studious, and after following Zhu Gaoxu into the palace, he has learned everything he should learn.

Zhong Xian said that officials of this level were either written by the emperor himself, or officials of the Hanlin Academy wrote the holy decree, and then the emperor used the seal.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded quietly, thinking that it was really troublesome.

The Hanlin Courtyard is a few miles away from here, and it takes more than half an hour to go back and forth to ask them to come back and seal after writing the holy decree.

Is it so troublesome for the emperor to give an order?

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, and later changed it to the cabinet to write, and the emperor used the seal.

"Huang Huai, you come to help me write a holy decree." And said, in addition to the edict in the future, the emperor's temporary decree can be drafted by the cabinet, and the emperor will use the seal.

Such a major event changed, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely have to be debated in the court for a long time, but now Zhu Gaoxu has changed in a word.

There are many people who are easy to do, and there are more than 100 twists and turns that day, and all of them will be approved in less than half an hour.

Then the seven ministers approved it, and they were divided into seven piles and placed in front of each of them.

They think the most important ones are all in front.

There are also statistics on the parchment on the side.

Zhu Gaoxu first took a cursory look at the parchment, and then took down the notes that the seven ministers thought were more important: "You change positions and look at these folds again." ”

"Let's see if there's anything else you think is important."

The seven of them changed positions one after another, and each looked for a bunch again.

Zhu Gaoxu got more than a dozen more important copies, read them first, and then approved, sometimes nodding his head, sometimes shaking his head.

It doesn't matter if it's heavy, in fact, everyone has their own scale in their hearts.

Obviously, there will be different ideas depending on the position.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu saw the folds of Xia Yuanji, the head of the household.

This should have been sent to the General Administration Department yesterday, so when Xia Yuanji met him today, he hadn't started reading it yet.

Xia Yuanji said that Daming now has too many soldiers and horses, and the battle is over, can His Majesty cut some soldiers and horses, because it costs too much.

The Ming army used to pay for grain, almost mainly grain, and Zhu Gaoxu not only raised sergeants but also spent money in order to win the war against the rebellion.

Now the monthly salary is only five coins of silver, and there are more than two million soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, and it will cost more than one million taels a month, plus the money and food of officials, the expenses are huge, and the emperor has to cancel the treasure banknote, which has so much silver.

Although Xia Yuanji is the secretary of the household department, the matter reported is the business of the military department, and it is counted in the military department.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and replied: "I know, I will make more money." ”

I don't know what kind of expression Xia Yuanji will have after getting it.

After becoming the emperor, Zhu Gaoxu found that there were really many things.

It was a relatively small day, but it was also varied, with floods here, food shortages there, impassable rivers here, and widows over there.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu realize that there were now all the widows.

Most of the officials handled things relatively simply, such as a flood in a certain place, and their approval was allocated by the Ministry of Households, and the local government cooperated with the disaster relief.

To put it simply, let the household department pay for it, and the local government will also provide some cooperation to provide disaster relief together, but as for how to provide relief and how to do it specifically, I will not say.

This is also the reason why fraud always occurred in ancient disaster relief, and officials privately withheld corruption.

After everyone took turns to approve it three times, Zhu Gaoxu called a few people to his side.

"The flood in Xinyang, Henan, you can't approve it like this."

The ministers looked at each other.

"How many people are there in Xinyang Prefecture?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Everyone was at a loss, obviously not knowing.

"I can't blame you, in the future, when you report the disaster, you need to estimate the affected area and approximate population."

"The household department pulled out 10,000 stone of grain and 5,000 taels of silver, and the three parties of Jinyiwei, the local judge, and Xinyangwei jointly cooperated with the local disaster relief."

This is something that the Ming Dynasty has not even done in the previous dynasties, and the ministers were stunned when they heard it.

Then Zhu Gaoxu explained that he asked them to make a charter according to Zhu Gaoxu's ideas, and then issue a national circular.

Presumably, when reporting the disaster, each locality must first report the affected area and the approximate population, and how much support is needed.

The imperial court arbitrarily allocated some of them, and at the same time sent people to investigate on the spot.

Relief grain and materials are provided by the nearest disaster-free county government first, and the household department will repay the grain or repay the loan. (The Ming household department has granaries in many places, and Zhu Gaoxu should focus on the management of granaries in the next step to prevent the granary from catching fire in later generations)

"During the disaster relief, Jinyiwei and other provincial prosecutors investigated the disaster situation on the spot."

The first thing Zhu Gaoxu said made their eyes shine.

Shandong was affected by the disaster, and it was necessary to use people from other provinces, such as Zhejiang, to send people to the judicial department, and Jinyiwei to send people to the capital to work together.

In addition to verifying the situation, it also supervises the use of food and money for disaster relief.

The local health office should participate to make up for the lack of manpower, and at the same time, it also has the role of supervision, so that it is a tripartite joint supervision, plus local officials, and the four parties do things, among which Jinyi Wei and the judicial department are to investigate the problem.

And the local officials and the health center tried their best to ensure that there were no problems with themselves.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly finished speaking, and ordered them to make a detailed charter within seven days, show it to the emperor, and if there is any disaster in the future, act according to the charter.

Zhu Gaoxu also pointed out that after the disaster, the local and nearby state capitals should do things first and then report to them, and the imperial court will definitely not owe them money.

In ancient times, some local officials reported first, and then began disaster relief after the imperial court made a decree, and many people died.

On the same day, Zhu Gaoxu re-approved a lot of repetitions, and asked for the preparation of several regulations, including the requirement for the construction of water conservancy in various localities, and the imperial court was ready to set up a water conservancy department in the household department to allocate huge funds to support it.

Because the water conservancy of the Angkor Dynasty and Cham was very developed, and the local grain production was also very high, the Ming Dynasty lagged far behind in this regard, and there were continuous natural disasters in the middle and later periods, and even droughts.

But what the ministers mean, lack of money, how much money does Your Majesty have to have?

Zhu Gaoxu thought, Jiaozhi and Fujian and money and grain, are they coming soon?
