Chapter 261: I can't spare myself if I seek my own death

And Zhu Yijun also learned from the information obtained by Jinyiwei's undercover agent that this time, Jin Xuezeng, Sun Bin, Shen Yourong and others did not dare to be too greedy after robbing Xiyi merchant ships and obtaining a large amount of thief funds, but gave sixty percent of the actual robbery funds to the emperor in the name of handing over the thief funds.

Even if Zhu Yijun will give them another 10% through rewards because he is the emperor of the empire, it is confirmed that these people are really making meritorious contributions.

That's also a fifty-fifty split.

It is one percent more than the historical Wanli eunuchs who can only get forty percent of the mining tax.

If compared with the later because the civil officials did not do it, they had to get a kick, so that the emperor could only get 20% from the mining tax, and now Zhu Yijun only nodded in the Forbidden City, and he could get 50% alone.

And the civil generals and eunuchs at the bottom only share the remaining fifty percent.

It can be said that the current Zhu Yijun is more respected than Wanli in history.

Of course, this is also because he, the emperor, has his own military power, so he has a lot of real power.

After all, in this life, Zhu Yijun did not cut off his arm, first whipped the corpse Zhang Juzheng, and then drove Qi Jiguang to Guangdong, and even sat back and watched the elite of the southern soldiers being slaughtered for the crime of treason.

Therefore, no matter how greedy the civil generals and eunuchs below are, they have to weigh whether the emperor will be unwilling to condone them because he pays too little money, so he has to pay more, in order to continue to work part-time pirates in the future, he would rather share less now.

Zhu Yijun admits that he is also a depravity by doing so.

But he also had to admit that the increase in wealth growth by raising the level of technology and then profiting from normal trade was too slow to take effect, compared to taking advantage of the improvement of the level of science and technology to plunder directly.

There is no way, the former needs the market to mature, and it also needs a trading process.

At present, in order to accumulate a large amount of wealth as soon as possible, so as to alleviate the contradictions within the domestic ruling class that have not been eliminated because the New Deal reform has not been abolished, Zhu Yijun can only adopt some low-level primitive means, or secretly acquiesce in such means.

In short, Zhu Yijun either abolished the New Deal and continued to suffer the people of his country to achieve the stability of his personal imperial rule, or he did not abolish the New Deal, but consolidated his rule by plundering the outside world.

And Zhu Yijun chose the latter.

It's just that if technological improvements can make a major breakthrough or even set off a revolution, it may be able to make this method more civilized.

But if there is no major breakthrough in technological improvement, or even to the bottleneck stage, I am afraid that this method will be more barbaric and primitive.

This cannot be diverted by Zhu Yijun's personal will.

As the emperor, the only choice Zhu Yijun can make is to choose to suffer the people or choose to suffer from the foreigners.

Even, according to the original trajectory of this land, Zhu Yijun's choice of the latter was made against inertia, which can only be said to be an attempt by the emperors of his generation.

Zhu Yijun didn't know if his attempt would be successful.

But if he falls into a large amount of income, Zhu Yijun still feels very fragrant.

What's more, he has no sympathy for the Waiyi in this era, after all, these Waiyi maritime merchants themselves are also pirates, and they are not much cleaner than the sailors of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Yijun still plans to pretend to be civilized on the surface, in order to establish a trade order in the future and improve the civilization level of the entire human Age of Discovery, by the way, weld the car door that can be accumulated primitive and rough!

That is, except for the Ming Dynasty, which could do so in the initial stage of its transformation from an agricultural empire to an industrial empire, it was illegal for other regimes to do so, and they could only maintain their rule within the rules set by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun could solve the dissatisfaction of the inner court because he could not abolish the New Deal by issuing a "privateer license", but it was not easy for the dissatisfaction of the world's big bureaucrats and big landowners with not abolishing the New Deal to be resolved.

It can be said that because Zhu Yijun did not abolish the New Deal, the big bureaucrats and big landlords could only watch a large number of hard-working, docile and very productive people in their country live an increasingly peaceful and solid life, and could not be wantonly oppressed.

Therefore, even if they know that Zhu Yijun is the emperor, and he is the emperor who holds the power of the army, and he is also the monarch father who they have to worship as the lord of the world for their own interests, there will still be most of them who cannot restrain their desires, and instinctively continue to find ways to abolish the new policy and liquidate Zhang Juzheng.

First of all, because Zhang Siwei was not firm enough in abolishing the New Deal and liquidating Zhang Juzheng, it even led to the execution of the first batch of Yanguan who tried to prevent Pan Cheng from entering the cabinet in order to abolish the New Deal and also hoped that the emperor would recognize the New Deal as a harsh government by taking advantage of the birth of the emperor's eldest son.

Yushi Jiangdongzhi first impeached Zhang Siwei, saying that his corpse was a vegetarian meal, and he only knew how to welcome him, and he didn't know how to eliminate the accumulated evils, but Zhang Siwei did not choose to retaliate against Jiangdongzhi because of this, but took the initiative to resign.

As soon as Zhang Siwei decided to take the initiative to resign, Shen Shixing and Yu Youding had to go up and retain, the reason was naturally that they could not easily impeach the first assistant and lose the prestige of the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun also wanted not to lose the prestige of the cabinet at this time, and opened the precedent of replacing the first assistant as soon as he impeached the first assistant, so he ordered Zhang Siwei to be retained at the request of Shen Shixing and Yu Youding.

After Zhang Siwei was retained by Zhu Yijun, he borrowed the ministry to ask for the vacancy of Guanglu Temple, and quickly promoted Jiangdong to Guanglu Temple, the reason is that Jiangdongzhi is upright and upright, and as a Yuanfu, he cannot retaliate against the upright ministers because of personal grudges, and it is appropriate to practice leniency.

"What a revenge for virtue with virtue!"

After Zhu Yijun received Zhang Siwei's request to recommend Jiangdongzhi as the Cheng of Guanglu Temple, he said with a calm face and said: "Approval of red is allowed!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Hong said yes, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart: "The emperor is still rational in the end." ”

However, Zhang Siwei's move increased the arrogance of the officials, which is equivalent to clearly telling the officials of Kedao:

Although I, Zhang Siwei, am a cowardly and shameless villain, I am not only cowardly in front of the imperial power, but also cowardly in front of the scholars, so even if you are negligent, I will not deal with you strictly, and will only condone you in the name of preserving the holy virtues of the monarch.

As a result, a large number of songs fell in front of Zhu Yijun's eucalyptus like snowflakes on a snowy day, and it didn't take long for them to pile up, all of which were all kinds of advice.

Zhu Yijun can't see it at all unless he stays up late to see it in person, so he can only go to the cabinet and let the cabinet vote.

However, Zhang Siwei, as the first assistant of the cabinet, adopted the method of disposing of these admonitions in the form of the next six ministries, instead of refuting some absurd and uninhibited admonitions, which caused a surge in the workload of the six ministries and made him even more dissatisfied with the existing new system of examinations.

Because according to Zhang Juzheng's new policy, government affairs cannot be delayed, and all the decrees approved by the emperor must be replied to within the specified time.

Even Zhu Yijun himself was very tired by Zhang Siwei's way of conniving at the crazy advice of Yan Lu, because many of the advice involved the inner court and needed to be handled by him, the emperor, personally.

"The release of the older palace maid is obviously unrealistic, and those who hold this advice are either stupid or bad! What can the older palace maid do when she is released from the palace, will there be serious people who want to marry her, or will her family be willing to support her for a lifetime? Or was it released and sold into slavery? ”

"What else do you say to imitate the virtues of Tang Taizong, can the situation in this dynasty be the same now as it was then?! Is there a shortage of women in the world, or is there a lack of land? ”

On this day, Zhu Yijun questioned Zhang Siwei about the official advice to release the older palace maid from the palace in order to reduce the palace expenses, so that the older palace maid herself who could not give birth to the royal heir could enjoy the joy of humanity.

"What does it mean that Yuan Fu actually played such an admonition without refuting it?"

Then, Zhu Yijun questioned Zhang Siwei again.

Zhang Siwei replied: "The minister also knows that what he said is pedantic and unrealistic, but because it involves the inner court and His Majesty's holy virtues, he does not dare to vote without authorization, but can only send it directly to the front of the emperor, and please Your Majesty to calm his anger, and don't worry about such an unreasonable minister, so that he hurts the dragon body." ”

"Then vote directly now to refute it!"

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Siwei with deep eyes, and then said this.

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Siwei didn't argue, he just bowed his head and obeyed orders, which meant to let the emperor decide everything.

It's just that because of this, the official with a keen sense of smell is even more sure that Zhang Siwei will not help the emperor do anything to them, and he is more and more bold.

Soon, there were bad deeds such as the imperial history Sun Jixian impeaching Zhang Xueyan for killing good and risking merit, and retributing victory with defeat.

And Zhang Siwei did not shelter Zhang Xueyan, but planned to let Zhang Xueyan defend himself.

After Zhu Yijun knew the result of Zhang Siwei's vote on the impeachment of Zhang Xueyan, he couldn't help but slander: "It's you Zhang Siwei who killed yourself, but I don't want to kill you!" ”
