In the wide and bright hall, the green smoke in the copper furnace is swirling around the golden pillar of the dragon, but the fragrance is not strong, only clear and refreshing, so that the ruling ministers who have been ordered to meet are as calm as water at this time, and only sit peacefully opposite the eucalyptus, listening to the glass bell clattering on the wall.

After Zhu Yijun received the secret of Shen Shixing's request to abolish the ban on road guidance and establish a new access management system, he summoned the ruling ministers and wanted to talk about some of his ideas for the reform of road guidance that need to be supplemented on this matter.

Zhu Yijun actually had the idea of changing the path and banning it for a long time, but he has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for even the ruling ministers to realize that in order to continue Zhang Juzheng's reform thoughts, it is necessary to reform the system in this way if the new policy is not abolished.

Otherwise.

Zhu Yijun would be worried that if he directly issued an order to abolish it, he might make the bureaucrats who oppose the abolition of the ban on road introduction and only want to use the ban to restrain and restrain the common people to deliberately mischievous, and even deliberately carry out the decree indiscriminately, such as releasing the prisoners and ruffians, and using the reason that thieves swarm and the homeless people gather all living beings, such as private mining and even private official offices, so they need to be exterminated, so he asks the imperial court to still allow the government to strictly control the people and prohibit the people from moving freely within the country.

And the ruling bureaucrats will also feel that he, the emperor, is still acting in a good way, and his edge is too exposed, so that he can be easily teased by the people below, but he is just an emperor who has the heart to make the country but no great wisdom, and then breeds the heart of despising the emperor, and even the selfish desire swells, and the heart of seeking the country is greatly reduced.

And now.

The enlightened reformers in the bureaucracy are willing to take advantage of the situation in order to survive the new policy and benefit the people and protect Xinjiang, so Zhu Yijun naturally does not have to worry that the entire bureaucracy will deliberately carry out his orders.

Even if there is a stubble, it will not greatly damage his imperial prestige.

"The preferences of the master cannot be easily spied on, but are sycophants of traitors, and even used to make evil!"

"Even if the master is praised, he must have a purpose; Since the Son of Heaven resides above the Nine Heavens, thunder, rain and dew should follow the will of Heaven, and the will of Heaven lies in the unpredictable! But let the people of the world feel that the will of heaven is still in Ze by the world, although there is the wrath of thunder, but there will be the benefit of sweet springs later. ”

This is what Zhang Juzheng said to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun has always remembered it, and every time he expresses his holy will, there are rules to follow, not rash action.

It is the so-called plan and then act that can control people and achieve their goals.

"The secret of the master's desire to abolish the road and the ban has been revealed, and I have seen it."

Zhu Yijun said a word after looking at Shen Shixing at this time.

Shen Shixing lowered his eyebrows accordingly.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at the other ruling ministers: "Presumably the master has also discussed with Zhu Qing!" ”

The other ruling ministers also bowed their heads.

"On this secret disclosure, I listed many benefits of waste roads, and also thought of many problems on how to avoid the people who are more difficult to manage after the waste roads, so to speak, not only to achieve the purpose of benefiting the people but also to achieve the purpose of enriching the country, but there are still shortcomings."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

"I beg your majesty to give me!"

Shen Shixing got up at this time and replied.

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly: "The master thought of following the will of the people and relaxing the ban on the people, allowing them to seek food elsewhere, but he didn't think of how to give the people the convenience of migration, first of all, the transportation!" ”

"Although the world is generally safe, the territory of this dynasty is too wide! In places where the mountains are high and the imperial power is far away, it is inevitable that there will be thieves infested, and the car and boat shops are also very hard, so that the people can really make food in other places, and then benefit the country and the people, we should strengthen public security and give transportation convenience; To solve this matter, the official post can be opened to the people, and at the same time, the post road can be set up to inspect the post road and deal with the post road disputes. ”

"Open the official post."

Zhang Xueyan read a sentence silently, then got up and asked, "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty, but the quasi-citizens can use the official post if they pay a certain amount of money?" ”

"It is precisely this reason that the official post can increase its income, and the increased income can raise more road officials and soldiers, and at the same time it can also subsidize the cost of the imperial court to set up a post, perhaps in the future, when the population flow of the world increases, the imperial court can also increase the national treasury because of the post."

Zhu Yijun said.

Shen Shixing, Zhang Xueyan, Hai Rui and others pondered.

After the prosperity of the commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty, the degree of population movement did increase, but it did lead to a large increase in thieves.

Many local bureaucrats have been punished for their failure to catch thieves.

For example, in history, because of the merit of the Song Shan Bo, the Nanzhi Patrol pressed the imperial history Tianle, because of the poor arrest of the thieves, he was punished and did not do well, so that he has not been promoted.

Because unless they were bureaucrats, ordinary merchants and ordinary people could not use the post station when they went out of their homes.

And in the traffic everywhere to open a shop to rest only the imperial court has this strength, the private merchants can only open a rest shop in the place where the population is gathered at most, so that many merchants and people often encounter thieves, and therefore have to appear together, but even so, it is still difficult to stop thieves, and to increase the fear of many people to go out.

Especially after the Wanli New Deal, the children of bureaucrats and gentry were also found to stay in the post station, so that many of the bureaucrats' children and gentry had to stay in the wilderness when they went out, and because of this, they were also robbed by thieves, so that many local officials increased the pressure on managing local security.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun now thought that instead of only letting the official post assume the national communication function, it is better to also operate the functions of private inns, mail and warehouses part-time.

However, allowing state institutions to begin to assume the role of profit-seeking tooth shops in the commodity economy still forced the ruling ministers, who grew up with education and education, to think carefully.

Because the Confucian education of this era advocates that the governance of the country should be respectful and virtuous, rather than seeking profit.

Fortunately, Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers have been influenced by Wang Xue and Zhang Xue, and they have begun to pay attention to their merits and be pragmatic, but they have not rashly opposed it, but have begun to proceed from reality and seriously analyze the pros and cons of this, and have not relied on Cheng Zhu Lixue to oppose it.

Generally.

Now Zhu Yijun's ruling ministers are basically enlightened.

Shen Shixing did not dare to hide his ideas because of the fate of Xu Jie and Zhang Siwei, and only made friends with everyone.

Fang Feng did not have the idea of retreating and resigning, but began to seriously lay out the country's military grand strategy.

Zhang Xueyan was even more enterprising, and together with Wang Yongji, the official of Wenxuan Shilang, he made a major change to the Quanxu system, requiring that those who were not appointed as officials close to the people in the border areas could not be appointed as Beijing officials, and those who were willing to go to Guanwai and even Dongying and other places to serve as officials should be directly appointed as Beijing officials after the examination was completed.

Hai Jui, on the other hand, is more partial to the common people than before.

In addition, he was an iron fan of Hongwu's strict government, and greatly appreciated Zhu Yijun's words through Zhang Juzheng's mouth, "from his idea of benefiting the people, changing his untimely politics", but did not show a pedantic side because of this, and also took the initiative to ask for disaster funds for the equipment of the household department, and at the same time let the household department also set up a permanent position in the border town to help the border people, and prevent the border people from moving inward, so that the foreign prisoners can also be mixed into the border people, so that local relief can be realized, and border troubles can also be reduced.

"Your Majesty is the lord of the Holy Ming, and what you see is indeed more accessible than the foolish ministers, this move is indeed a government for the convenience of the people and the country, and the ban on opening the way should also be opened for the prohibition of the post government."

Shen Shixing said it.

Fang Fengshi also got up: "The minister seconded what Yuan Fu said." ”

For a while, the ruling ministers all rose up to second.

After getting up and seconding the proposal, Hai Rui said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a little worried, what if the children of the powerful officials and gentry deliberately default after using the post station, won't it increase the consumption of the official post?" The powerful officials and gentry have always been more evil than the small people, and this incident is likely to happen often. ”

"Your Majesty! The minister objected to what the Great Si Nong said! ”
