As the sun rises, the entire square is dyed with a layer of pale gold.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the imperial couch and was weatherless, holding a copy of today's early court recitals of the various ministries, and when he saw Ni Yue, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he knew what this person was going to say.

Ni Yue is burly, with a cold and serious expression, giving people the appearance of a loyal minister.

In fact, there is a bad habit of "judging people by their appearance" in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter what your personal talent is, the better your appearance, the easier it is to be promoted, so it is unlikely that there will be "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".

Ni Yue is now in the prime of life, and he is resolutely one of the future leaders of the Ming officialdom, coughed in advance, walked from the end of the class to the front of the palace, and then knelt down and played: "Ni Yue, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites played: Your Majesty has ascended to the great treasure for the first time, and the amnesty is graced in the world, and the gift of enthronement can be with the Beijing Imperial Court." Today, please give to the civil and military ministers and military and civilian people in Beijing: dukes, waiters, horses, and uncles, and give twenty taels of silver; civil officials first and second grades, fifteen taels of silver; three pins, ten taels of silver; Four products, eight taels of silver...... Officers of the first and second grades, six taels of silver; three pins, four taels of silver; four pins, five pins, three taels of silver; Six to nine grades, two taels of silver; Miscellaneous duties, record young soldiers, silver one or two ......"

Although the monarch and the ministers already knew the content of the song, the process was not sloppy at all, not to mention that the essence of the early Ming Dynasty was "thousands of officials listening to the government".

Officials who participated in the early dynasty were not only not allowed to make a sound, but also could not spit, let alone go to a thatched house. In order to avoid losing their manners, courtiers usually do not come for breakfast, but with a slice of ginseng in their mouths.

Except for the officials who went to the prelude, most of the officials only needed to bring their ears to come, and even some officials who were far away and had poor hearing actually came to join in the fun.

The meaning of the early Ming Dynasty was to "listen to politics", not "discuss politics", so when the comfortable sun came from the east, many low-level officials were reluctant to listen to Ni Yue's recitation of the scriptures, and they had already begun to desert.

The years are quiet, and that old guy is so nagging.

Xu Pu, who was wearing a second-grade official uniform, was probably a senior official who listened the most seriously, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He knew that in order to become a real civil leader, status and prestige were not enough, and he also needed to have certain "political achievements".

Why are Wan An, Liu Jue and Liu Ji of the Chenghua Dynasty called "Papier-mâché Three Pavilion Elders", it is these three people who are simply corpses and vegetarians, and they have done nothing in the face of the dumping of the factory guards, and they have not "profited" for the civil official group at all.

Since you don't think about everyone, why should everyone support you?

After Ni Yue read a large list of notes, he asked Zhu Youzhu for instructions: "Please Your Majesty follow Taizong's actions and be allowed to take the throne to create a situation in Zhongxing!" ”

"Please follow Taizong's example and be allowed to ascend the throne to create a situation in Zhongxing!" Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately led all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to echo.

Wan An and Liu Ji were able to be on the cloud platform as ministers, and at this time, when they saw Ni Yue and the officials of the Ministry of Rites petitioning together, they couldn't help but look at Zhu Youzhu curiously.

As long as Zhu Youzhu adopts their vote yesterday's opinion, then the enthronement will be promulgated.

In fact, the two of them are also hindsight, if they can think of enthroned En's profit for the civil official group, the two of them will definitely add a lot of points. It's just that Xu Pu was the first to react, and His Majesty will not easily make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military happy, and it is even more impossible for the two of them to prevent the enthronement.

"Ni Aiqing, can there be statistics, how much does this plan of the Ministry of Rites cost?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Ni Yue, who had finished the recital, and asked lightly.

Ni Yue didn't seem to expect Zhu Youzhu to care about money, so he vaguely gave an amount and said: "The minister's rough calculation, the consumption will not exceed 300,000 taels!" ”

When the officials present heard that they were going to use 300,000 taels of state funds to give the throne grace, and it was a permanent system, they couldn't help but silently exchange glances.

Now the state treasury under the rule of Emperor Chenghua is abundant, but I am afraid that the silver will have to be carefully calculated, so that the uncontrolled spending will definitely not last for many years and will be stretched.

Of course, they hoped in their hearts that Zhu Youzhu would agree to the enthronement plan of the Ministry of Hospitality and Etiquette, after all, even officials who were not in the middle of the stream could get four taels of silver, and four acres of silver could buy one acre of high-quality land.

"The kingdom of the Emperor is no greater than Fengtian, and the success of the law is more important than the ancestor. Taizu was alive, and he banned gold and silver, so today's gold bank reward is against the ancestral law! Zhu Youzhu faced the expectant eyes of all the officials present, and lightly pointed out the shortcomings.

There are not many problems in the Ming Dynasty at present, and although today's official currency is still the Ming treasure banknote, but the Ming treasure banknote has long existed in name only, and the main circulation currency of the people is gold and silver, and even copper coins have been replaced by broken silver.

It's just that Zhu Youzhi plans to take care of the country, so naturally he can't recognize the status of gold and silver so hastily, and even introduce new official banknotes in the future.

Hey?

Only then did the officials look at Zhu Youzhi with hindsight, daring to feel that the edict just now had already laid the foreshadowing, and now they directly vetoed the gold bank reward in the name of the law of the ancestors.

Wan An and Liu Ji were secretly shocked, if these two things were not a coincidence, then this new monarch's mind was really too deep, and he was probably more than the first emperor.

Xu Pu looked at the disciple in the center of the gatehouse in shock, but he never expected that Zhu Youzhu would use this reason to directly veto his long-planned move.

"Your Majesty, the treasure money has been flooded this morning, and two hundred yuan is not worth one or two, please take back your life!" Li Min, the head of the household, glanced at Xu Pu not far away, and immediately stood up and objected.

"Li Shangshu, I didn't say that I wanted to be rewarded with treasure money!" Zhu Youzhu saw that Hubu Shangshu jumped out so quickly and openly objected, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Hey?

Li Min knew the situation of the treasure banknote well, and was about to state the harm of indiscriminate issuance of treasure money, but found that it was not the case, and after seeing Liang Fang's stern gaze, he retreated in a gloomy manner.

Zhu Youzhu faced the puzzled gazes of the officials, so he turned his head and glanced at Liang Fang next to him.

Liang Fang nodded lightly to Zhu Youji, then took out a holy decree and read it: "At the beginning of this year, I ascended the great treasure and awarded the civil and military ministers and military and civilian people in Beijing: Gong, Hou, Horse, and Bo, and people will give three introductions of salt; The incumbent civil and military generals will give salt and lead two citations; Young officials, widows, widows, and the sick, prisoners, doctors, officials, intellectuals, messengers, old people in the workshop, and folk craftsmen, cooks, and musicians, are given salt and introduced; Another special gift, the world's registered stove household is introduced! Grace is not limited by 3,000 quotations, you can resell salt merchants, or you can resell the imperial store at an official price, Qin this! ”

Since he could not veto the proposal of Ji Weien, Zhu Youzhu did not intend to be led by the nose by the civil bureaucracy, but decided to take this opportunity to rectify the salt administration.

It is said that the current salt policy is caused by the indiscriminate use of salt, and now all the Beijing officials are asked to take the salt lead, and see if the salt in their hands is worthless or robbed?

"Your Majesty, the salt has been flooded today, so that the salt law is not smooth, and now the salt merchants are unwilling to transport grain to the border warehouse, please take back your order!" Li Min, the head of the household, learned that Zhu Youzhu wanted to be rewarded with salt, so he stood up again and petitioned.

"Please take back your order!" A group of officials in the household department have taken Li Min's horse as the head, and even echoed it.

Wan An and Liu Ji silently exchanged glances, and then glanced thoughtfully at Xu Pu below, and chose to watch the fire from the other side.

"The matter of salt introduction is the last wish of the first emperor! The first emperor said on his deathbed, not because of his indiscriminate reward, but because of the collusion of local officials and businessmen to steal salt profits! Now that I have been in power, I should respect the last wish of the first emperor, and there is no need to discuss this matter! Today, he was elected to send Nengchen to Huaibei Prime Minister Yanzheng, what do you think of Wang Yue? Zhu Youzhi immediately moved out of Emperor Chenghua's veto of these objections, and then directly threw out his plan.

Looking at the Manchu Dynasty, only Wang Yue, who was resided in Anlu by Emperor Chenghua, was the most suitable.

Wang Yue became friendly with the eunuchs and cut himself off from the civilian official group, and he already had the upright temper of a soldier. Once Wang Yue is reactivated, then he is likely to cut the key to the salt politics for himself and clean up the maggots seduced by the gang of officials and businessmen.
