Zhang Hong was quite stunned, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, yes, the ministers above the fourth grade can only send half a salary since the first emperor, and although the fourth grade or less is full, the folded color should account for half; If there is no product, only three percent of the color is folded. Rao is so, and often delays for months. ”

"Then the next day of the moon will be paid, and all the arrears will be made up, and they will all be full! used the money confiscated from Feng Bao. ”

Since Zhang Juzheng gave him, the emperor, only the opportunity to give more grace and benefit Sheji, Zhu Yijun decided to start by giving grace in the inner court and making up for the arrears first.

The Ming court suffered a serious deficit.

Affected by the troubles in the south and the troubles in the north, in order to increase military spending to train new soldiers, the problem of shortages has continued from the middle and late Jiajing period to the present.

And one of the most direct phenomena caused by this is the general non-payment of salaries by officials and ministers.

The Inner Court is no exception.

Zhu Yijun didn't want to strangle his neck in the middle of the night because the eunuch palace maid worked too hard and his salary was not paid.

Naturally, he took advantage of the fact that he had enriched the inner court by copying Feng Bao once, and first made up for the arrears of the inner court.

Although Zhu Yijun is not sure whether the coup d'état carried out by the palace maids during the Jiajing period is related to Jiajing's choice to grieve the inner court harem when the financial pressure is too great.

But at least there is such a statement.

What's more, Zhu Yijun also knows that as a boss, if you want employees to work hard, the most basic ethics should be to pay full wages, and then you should consider making people believe in the cake you draw.

Of course, Zhu Yijun thought of making up for the arrears of the Inner Court Palace first, which was related to the fact that he also came from the bottom in his previous life.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed how much of an impact the arrears had on an ordinary eunuch and palace maid below.

Because as the emperor, Zhu Yijun has very little chance of intersecting with the lowest eunuch palace maid.

And the senior eunuchs around him, that is, the eunuchs, don't have to rely on money to live, so naturally they won't take the risk of making the emperor angry and ask for money in front of the emperor for ordinary eunuchs and palace maids, and even many high-ranking eunuchs don't notice how big a debt is.

Therefore, Zhang Hongcai was quite stunned.

"And it just so happens that I have so much silver now that I can make up for what I owe."

"With the restructuring progressing, the situation of internal and external silver storage will definitely improve next year, and your inner court is not also in accordance with the requirements of the foreign court, and it must be strictly implemented, and strive to be able to pay enough money to reward silver next year."

Zhu Yijun continued.

"That's what the emperor said. The inner court will strictly enforce it, please rest assured that things like the Weaving Bureau will not happen again. If it happens again, the old slave will end up like Feng Bao. ”

Zhang Hong replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "I am not disappointed in you, but you must also know to give me a long face, and don't let me speak for you in front of the foreign ministers." After all, the princess is used as a tool to collect money, and he also resells the inner court industry, and the piles and piles are all for the outside court. Don't come to that time, so the outer dynasty suggested that the Shaofu be re-established, and the imperial property of Yiying would be handed over to the foreign courtiers to take care of, and only let you brush the toilet and wash your clothes, so that I would not be able to refuse. ”

Zhang Hong said: "The old slave remembers the emperor's instructions. ”

Zhu Yijun said: "You can't just remember it, but let them all remember!" If you can't think it's me, you can mess around! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Hong humbly agreed.

"In addition, the palace people of the Queen Mother of the two palaces will be given double shares at the end of the year, which can be regarded as a reward for me to fulfill their filial piety. This has been the case every year since then. ”

Zhu Yijun said.

"The old slave thanks the emperor for his kindness to all the palace people in the inner court!"

Zhang Hong knelt down and kowtowed as he spoke.

"Let's go down!"

"The old slave retires!"

And Zhang Hong smiled after leaving Zhu Yijun's place, and said to the two eunuchs in front of him: "You heard it, why don't you hurry up and pass on the good news?" ”

"Hey! No one thought that the emperor would think about us people first. ”

"If you want me to say, the emperor is the real Bodhisattva, God is pitiful, I finally met a master who is sympathetic to us below."

The two ordinary eunuchs agreed, and they muttered to each other as they walked.

Zhang Hong shouted to the two at this time: "Having said that, don't think that the emperor is young and kind-hearted, so you think that the emperor can be bullied, don't forget Feng Bao's fate!" Of course, if you make a mistake, you don't need the emperor to clean it up, and our family will not spare you first. People should be grateful, but they must not forget the rules! ”

"Yes, father-in-law, please rest assured."

Zhang Hong left satisfied, and after coming to the celebrant supervisor, he told Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng about it.

Zhang Whale was also quite surprised: "Why did the emperor think of this first?" ”

Zhang Cheng also smiled: "That is, who still has the energy to care about the life and death of the people below, things like cats and dogs, have the opportunity to enter the inner study hall and read a famous hall, no matter how clever people are, they can recognize a good godfather, and they can naturally be the same as the ministers of the foreign courts." If you don't have a chance, you can't starve to death, and there is still no shortage of leftovers in the palace. ”

"This shows that the emperor is more benevolent than you! Know the kindness of the widespread. Be glad to meet such an emperor. As the saying goes, if you climb high, you will fall heavy, and you may go down when you will not be too miserable! ”

Zhang Hong said with a smile and said: "But this shows that the emperor listened to Mr. Yuanfu Zhang's words." ”

"What did Mr. Zhang say?"

Zhang Whale asked.

Zhang Hong told the matter of Wenhua Palace.

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng said: "No wonder, we have met a prosperous era, and the emperor and the Yuan Fu of the foreign dynasty are all human. I thought that after Hai Rui and that Zhao Zhenji came, more than one Feng Bao would be unlucky. ”

Zhang Hong smiled slightly: "That's true." ”

"I'll go to the Qianqing Palace first."

Zhang Jing also nodded, then said a word, and then picked up the three mountain hats and the big hat on the case and walked out of the celebrant supervisor.

After Zhang Whale came to Zhu Yijun's place, he hurriedly took off his big hat, walked to Zhu Yijun's side with a smile, showed Zhu Yijun the charcoal in the fire, and said with a smile: "These little cubs, the stove fire has been changed more frequently, and it must be the emperor's kindness." ”

"It was also a timely copy of Feng Bao's home, which made the charcoal of the Salary Saving Division a lot more abundant."

After Zhu Yijun said that, he saw Zhang Whale going to close the window: "Don't close the window, it's good to get some wind." ”

Zhang Whale said yes.

Zhu Yijun rubbed his hands, stood up, and asked Zhang Whale: "What's new recently?" ”

Zhang Whale replied: "Hu Kedu gave Yu Mao a lesson in the five things of Taoism, which are Chongdunda, Confusing, Cautious, Guarding against Disputes, and Guarding against Sycophants. In the matter of Chongdun University, he directly criticized the law of the examination, saying: 'Since Your Majesty came to the throne, he has established the code of examination, the rules for resuming the term of office, the article for applying for the constitution, and the law of strict delay. The gills of the ministers and the ministers are served. However, if the government is strict, it will be bitter, and the law will be disturbed. Non-so Pei Yuan Qi is generally also. And he hoped that the emperor would be able to make peace, rely on loyalty, not count the will of responsibility, focus on the truth of the core, should be lenient and severe, and the government should be peaceful. ”

"This is dissatisfaction with the New Deal. But he didn't know that Mr. Yuanfu Zhang was already very lenient, and he didn't rely on Hai Rui and Zhao Zhenji's temperament, and he persuaded me! However, it is obvious that the ministers did not understand the gentleman's meaning very much, and did not receive his affection. ”

Zhu Yijun sneered and said, "Wait for the cabinet vote." ”
