Chapter 91: The "Surprise" of the Full Moon on the Throne
"Yan Song Liu Long, are your answer sheets being written?"
Hearing the emperor suddenly speak, Yan Song and Liu Long still subconsciously stood up and retreated to the side and bowed.
“…… The minister has not yet started writing. Yan Song replied truthfully.
Liu Long: "The same goes for ministers. ”
"I'm so hard?"
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of things in state affairs, all of which are intertwined with financial schemes. The minister knew that His Majesty had the ambition to earn ten times the year, and he did not dare to boast. If there is a slight increase, it is better to open up sources and reduce expenditure. However, the year is doubled...... I am afraid that we need to find one or two fundamental ills to solve this dilemma. It's easy to unravel, but it's hard to deal with the aftermath. ”
Liu Long: "The minister also thinks the same way. ”
Zhu Houxi couldn't help but look at Liu Long: Should you be surnamed Zhang Mingfei?
Liu Long lowered his head and picked at his official boots.
"External worries and internal troubles affect the whole body." Zhu Houxi sighed with emotion, "The fundamental defect is ...... Let's start with a list of the issues that the Gongsheng talked about. The old rules, the number of records, the order of sorting. ”
The strategies of more than 300 new science and technology scholars, and the response of all the staff members in the Beijing Dynasty, are still used for statistics.
In the minds of the ministers, what are the entry points for improving the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houxi is ready to count them one by one.
Revenue, expenses, "costs" in the execution process...... In this messy financial situation, he always takes this opportunity to sort it out first.
Yang Tinghe is in a hurry to ascend the throne every day, and there are still many things in the edict that only set the direction and have no strategy, but Zhu Houxi knows that he will definitely not easily encounter economic problems.
The entanglement of interests is too complicated, whether to use the military garrison, or really to use the knife for land annexation, or to start with Huangzhuang Huangdian or even commercial tariffs, or ...... The right to mint money that is no longer controlled by the imperial court?
After this period of understanding, the treasure money system set at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty seems to be a joke.
Whether it is copper coins or silver, Daming is not a land rich in these two precious metals. Yunnan is still in bondage, copper mining, transportation, I don't know how many people in the middle of the hand. Besides, copper had to be used to forge weapons.
Zhu Houxi could not exaggerate the fiscal and taxation systems and various measures of later generations to the present, but he had to have an in-depth understanding of the interests of the present era, the technical limitations, the efficiency of communications, and the quality and concepts of the officials who implemented these systems.
He is indeed more serious than Yang Tinghe imagined, but no matter how serious he is, he is more radical than Yang Tinghe thinks.
Looking down at the new science and technology scholars who had already reviewed them in detail, and looking at their arguments and arguments, Zhu Houxi also had to figure out their temperament from their words and emotions.
"Your Majesty, it's all sorted out."
Zhang Zuo walked in with a locked box in his eyes under the gaze of Yan Song and Liu Long, and bent down to put it on the imperial case.
Zhu Houxi nodded: "Continue to be busy." Did Fang Feng pay the fine for impeaching you for the crime of negligence to the stolen penalty treasury? ”
The stolen penalty treasury is also one of the inner treasury, and at the beginning of its establishment, the inner treasury was also supervised by the Ministry of Households.
Over the years, the inner treasury has become the monarch's private treasury, and the insufficient expenditure of the treasury has not only made it more and more difficult to "borrow" money from the inner treasury, but the emperor has also increasingly played the idea of private use of the treasury.
Zhu Houxi didn't have to make it difficult to do this, he was only focusing on Neiku now.
The pre-selected lady drove out all the people that Empress Dowager Zhang was used to, but Fang Feng thought it through, and Zhang Jin and Zhang Zuo were also symbolically fined some silver taels.
Back the black pot, let the royal be decent. Zhang Zuo bowed his head and replied, "The slave has already been handed over." ”
Zhu Houxi had already taken the key to open the box, took out the booklet inside and said while reading: "This matter was done quickly, in detail, and rewarded." ”
So the "fine silver" that had just been taken out came back in the name of being able to do things, and there were a few more.
Zhang Zuo thanked him and went out, Yan Song and Liu Long didn't know what he was doing or what was in the box.
Do you dare to ask more about the factory guard?
The silent busyness lasted until dusk, and then Zhu Houxi stood up: "Go to the East Warm Pavilion to eat." Yan Song and Liu Long, today I will tell me about the old things in Xining. ”
Yan Song's heart sank: I really want to change the law!
Really, gnaw some hard bones?
But today's Yang Jiefu is not the Wang Jiefu of the past!
The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have not seen anyone with Wang Jiefu's prestige, talent, courage, and stubbornness.
The so-called self-esteem who has been looking forward to ten years is also worthy?
Dongnuan Pavilion finally has the appearance of talking about it for a few days, talking about history today, talking about the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty before the Xining Reform, talking about the struggle between the old and new schools, and talking about the distortion and gains and losses in the implementation process.
The keynote speaker is Yan Song, who has been prepared for a long time, and Liu Long is like a teaser from time to time to say "That's exactly the case".
Until Huang Jin sent in a letter of recital.
"The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple jointly signed Shangshu, and the two cases of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin have found some solid evidence with the scholars, Jiuqing, and the lords of the five mansions, please Your Majesty will adjudicate it!"
Yan Song and Liu Long were suddenly shocked.
This year, there is no movement.
It's not that I don't do it, it's just that I don't do it together first. If something involves some important ministers, it will be discussed again.
The words of the emperor at the first court meeting are still in my ears, and now after nearly a month, the time to come is still here.
This time it's because something involves some important minister, right?
Zhu Houxi's face sank like water, and everyone in the Dongnuan Pavilion did not dare to come out with a single one.
In Soshuli, Xie Changjie, who was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was involved in the case, signed his name.
Among the important ministers involved, Prince Liang, Wang Qiong, Chen Jin, the Imperial History of the Zuodu Imperial Palace, and Yang Tan, the Shangshu of the Household Department, were among them. Among the lords, there were several Hou Bo.
The crimes of Qian Ning and Jiangbin also involved many ministers, including Gu Dayong, Wei Bin, and Zhang Yong, who had already been dealt with once.
The crimes involved include eunuchs abusing power, framing loyal ministers, embezzlement and soliciting bribes, forcibly seizing people's land, fraudulently receiving empty salaries, and ...... Rebellion.
Do you want to keep looking?
Zhu Houxi, who ascended the throne for the full moon, received a surprise from the courtiers on the matter.
"That's all for today." Zhu Houxi quietly closed the letter submitted after today's trial by the three law divisions, "Decree, I will go to the lobby of the Criminal Department tomorrow to hear the trial, and the cabinet ministers Jiuqing and the ministers involved in the case will go." ”
Yan Song and Liu Long left with their own thoughts, and Zhu Houxi calmly ordered: "Call Zhang Jin and Zhang Zuo over." ”
The air pressure in the Qianqing Palace decreased, and Zhang Jin and Zhang Zuo already knew what was going on when they arrived here.
"Under the secret investigation of the slaves and maids, the great heavenly official is deeply involved with Qian Ning and Jiang Bin...... It's not just what the song says. Zhang Jin felt that the flames of this fire had also burned to his feet, "The Criminal Department...... I'm afraid there are still hands left. ”
Zhu Houxi looked down at the report, which was the result of the investigation formed by the internal investigation, external secret visits, and the accumulation of many years of secret files by Jinyiwei and Dongchang in two lines.
The cases of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin were used as a topic to play at the first court meeting, how could they not be guarded against?
But now it has been confirmed by many parties that Prince Liang, Wang Qiong, Yang Tan and other people have indeed left a lot of handles.
As for Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji, did the other important ministers of the court speak righteously to Qian Ning and Jiang Bin before?
Naturally not, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin took Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong away, Yang Ting and them were the people who ate chicken under the ferocity of these fortunate ministers in the past and entered the finals, and it was difficult to have a clear handle.
What's more, it is the Criminal Department that presides over the trial. And Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was recommended by Yang Tinghe.
Chen Jin of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was involved in the case, and Xie Changjie signed it.
The Dali Temple, which is responsible for the review, also recognized the current preliminary trial opinion.
Expand to find out that all are not clean? It's hard, it's time-consuming, but it seems ......
What does Yang Tinghe want to do?
Zhu Houxi is reflecting: Am I too knowledgeable and serious recently?
