Chapter 187: The Wheel of History Has Been Changed, Speculation Must Die! (Ask for subscription)

Create a better system to completely replace the prime minister?

Zhu Biao had also considered this idea before, but there was no good idea.

Moreover, even if he had an idea, he didn't dare to say it to his father, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would think that he was lazy and slack.

After all, the father has worked so hard, as a son, how can he still say that he is tired?

Even though Zhu Biao's pressure was already very great, he still didn't dare to say it, so he could only barely hold on.

Carefully handling various national affairs every day, Zhu Biao only felt like walking on thin ice, which made his spirit always in a tense state.

And the only way for him to relieve stress is to do something male and female, which has caused a vicious circle, making his body deteriorate, although there are no problems and problems now, but the roots have been planted, and it is a matter of time before they take root and sprout.

If Su Che wants to change the result of Zhu Biao, he can only fundamentally change it.

If you just condition Zhu Biao's body, then after a long time, the problem will continue to appear!

So, Su Che thought of changing the system.

Let the emperor's work pressure be reduced!

He is not worried that this will cause Lao Zhu's dissatisfaction, because history has proven that it is wrong to do this, not to mention the emperors in the future, not to mention diligent government, and even those who will not go to court for decades!

In Su Che's view, the position of the emperor does not need to bow down to everything, arrange the right things to the right people, know how to divide labor, and be good at recognizing people, which is the most important thing.

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was too hard working and being too diligent in government, which led to further collapse and accelerated the process of destroying the country.

It can be seen that if you don't have enough ability, it's really not a good thing to bow down to everything.

When Zhu Biao heard this at this moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked with some curiosity: "What does my father plan to do?" ”

"It's simple, form a cabinet!"

Su Che directly took out Zhu Di's cabinet system.

Since ancient times, the prime minister has either been the emperor's right-hand man or the emperor's confidant.

It is not uncommon for the prime minister to take power and completely suppress the emperor.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties in China, the Sui and Tang dynasties were combined, until the prime minister was abolished in the Ming Dynasty and the cabinet was established, the prime minister disappeared completely.

The essence of the cabinet system is that of the emperor's private subordination, similar to a secretarial institution, rather than a statutory institutional setup of the state.

This determines that the power of the cabinet actually represents the imperial power, so that when the emperor is laissez-faire or trusted, the power will be very small.

This kind of arbitrariness just proves that the cabinet is a vassal of the imperial power, and it is all determined by the emperor's likes and dislikes.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet chiefs and assistants manipulated the government and power, and the essence was not that the imperial power was hollowed out, but the embodiment of the strengthening of the imperial power.

If it was placed in other dynasties, it would have started to add nine tins, enter the prince, drive six cars, and use the Tianzi Luan Yi in and out.

In the final analysis, the power of the cabinet is given by the imperial power, while the power of the prime minister is given by the system.

Even the head of the cabinet like Zhang Juzheng can't empty the imperial power, and he still has to win over a big eunuch like Feng Bao.

The cabinet system can only come up with one way to deal with it, which is the so-called "vote proposal".

In the end, it was necessary for the emperor's approval to issue it to the six ministries for implementation.

If the emperor is also lazy, there will be an institution like the celebrant eunuch, because it can approve the red seal on behalf of the emperor, which will directly expand the power of the eunuchs, and it will also produce the phenomenon of eunuchs messing with the government and taking power.

Even if Yan Song can be regarded as a powerful government and opposition in the Jiajing Dynasty, and the existence of ten thousand people under one person, but in front of Emperor Jiajing, he can only grovel.

Emperor Wanli was addicted to wine, and he did not go to court for so many years, and the country could operate normally, so it can be said that the cabinet played a great role.

Of course, even if it works, it will be very difficult.

The essence of the problems that arose after that was that there was a problem with the emperor, not the cabinet.

Therefore, in Su Che's view, it is completely feasible to completely replace the prime minister system with the cabinet system.

There are advantages and disadvantages to the cabinet system – no system is perfect.

As for the problems that will arise in the future, it is certain that no system can always be maintained and run perfectly.

At this moment, Su Che described the cabinet system in detail, and Zhu Biao on the side listened very carefully, the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more he felt powerful.

If you think about it, this system is really perfect!

Although the cabinet shared the work of the emperor, it did not share the power of the emperor, but allowed the monarch to dictate and dictate.

Under such a system, future emperors only need to be slightly more normal...... Theoretically, there won't be much of a problem!

After a while, Su Che finished talking about the entire cabinet system, looked at Zhu Biao again, and asked, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

"The father has thought about it quite properly, and the son thinks that there is nothing wrong with it, the cabinet system prepared by the father is really powerful, this has been considered for a long time?" Zhu Biao asked curiously.

"Sort of, I thought about it a few years ago." Su Che nodded.

He can't say that this system was temporarily remembered when he saw Zhu Biao coming, although this is the truth......

"By the way, you're here to change the law and reform the government?" Su Che suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Father." Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Erchen came here this time in the hope that my father can let me intervene in the matter of changing the law and the new deal, and I hope to prove the birth of this new deal!" ”

"This change in the new policy, the son is fully aware of it, and when he learned about it, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, these ideas of my father are really wonderful!"

At this moment, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he praised again and again: "Simplifying taxation can greatly eliminate the harm of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and at the same time, it can also make those landlords have nowhere to escape, so that they can pay taxes honestly, which can make the people live in peace and make the treasury full, which is really a win-win strategy!" ”

"And the tax is collected in treasure money, which I didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I understood the deep intentions of my father, and I really admired it."

"Oh?" Su Che listened to this and said with a smile: "Then you talk about it." ”

"Yes." Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said:

"It has been a few years since the implementation of the treasure banknote, although the treasure banknote has made the imperial court's finances get linked, but in recent days, the purchasing power of the treasure banknote has deteriorated, even if the imperial court has made a lot of policies, but it still can't prevent the treasure banknote from becoming less and less valuable, which has caused a lot of bad effects......

"For example, the most important part of the money issued to the ministers is the treasure money, and now the purchasing power of the treasure money has shrunk, and those ministers have long complained bitterly."

"The ministers are living too hard, which is really detrimental to the majesty of the court, and it will also exacerbate the corruption situation of officials."

"In addition, when the treasure money becomes less and less valuable, there is less and less use of the treasure money, and at this time the treasure money becomes a hot potato, after all, no one wants their net worth to slowly melt like ice and snow."

"After the treasure money inevitably becomes less and less valuable, no matter what the decree can't stop, Erchen has also thought of a lot of ways, but it feels useless."

"However, with my father's withdrawal from this decree of reform and innovation, even if it has not yet been implemented, the value of those treasure banknotes among the people has begun to rise, and there are even many merchants who are ready to buy treasure banknotes, which further raises the price of treasure banknotes!"

Hearing this, Su Che couldn't help frowning, hoarding treasure money? That's a terrible act!

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and after these people received the news for the first time, they naturally realized that this was a good opportunity to make money.

Now the treasure money is not worth much, and when it is valuable, it will be sold again, and this in and out is at least fifty percent profit!

Earn hemp directly!

But.

This is a proper act of speculation.

Why did they know about it?

It's nothing more than someone in the court!

The best way to make money in the world is to use the guidance of the imperial court policy to make money.

For example, when war is about to break out, buy related items on a large scale, and then sell them at a high price.

This kind of behavior is also a proper act of death, and it seems that no one would do such a stupid thing.

But the opposite is true.

There are not only people who do it, but there are many of them.

As long as there is enough interest, even if you sell the ropes that hang you, someone will sell them.

People die for money, birds die for food, since ancient times, it has been the same!

Su Che said quietly: "You reminded us, we will let Jinyiwei deal with this matter, if someone dares to hoard treasure money and affect the implementation of the law change decree, even if his background is big, he will have to raid his family and exterminate the clan!" Punish severely! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Is this matter so serious?" ”

Su Che nodded and said seriously:

"Once these people dare to do anything for the sake of profit, then they will have more and more bottom lines in the future, since they have changed the law and innovated, they must kill people and shed blood, let them know that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done!"

"Biao'er, this matter is much more serious than you think!"

"Once these people use the policy to make a lot of money and successfully taste the sweetness, then all the decrees will not be implemented smoothly!"

"This head must not be opened!"

"It's a lot more serious than you think!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said seriously: "Erchen understands!" ”

In Zhu Biao's view, even if these people speculate on the price of treasure banknotes, as long as the issuance power is in the hands of the imperial court, there will be no problems, and this matter is not a problem.

But in Su Che's view, this matter has nothing to do with treasure money, but uses the policy of the imperial court to speculate, causing very big consequences.

These guys, they have to die!

There's no room for manoeuvre!

"Biao'er, you don't have to be responsible for changing the law and the new policy, just leave it to Fang Keqin to do it alone, as for those who hoard treasure money, we will let Jinyiwei take care of it!"

"As for you...... We have already arranged for you, you will be responsible for forming the prototype of the cabinet, this matter is also the top priority, we will hand over this task to you, do you have the confidence to complete it? ”

Su Che looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao did not hesitate, nodded hurriedly, and said seriously: "Erchen will definitely do his best to complete it!" ”

"Okay, let's have confidence!" Su Che smiled.

Let Zhu Biao be in charge of the matter of changing the law and the new policy?

Joke!

Since ancient times, those who change the law and innovate have never come to a good end!

Shang Ying was torn apart, Wu Qi was killed by random arrows, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were degraded, and Wang Anshi was directly driven out of the court.

Even Zhang Juzheng was almost killed after his death, his eldest son was forced to commit suicide, and his family starved to death for more than ten people!

Whether the reform is successful or not, there is basically no good end.

The reason is simple.

This kind of thing is too hateful!

Offended countless vested interest groups and became the target of public criticism, and still want to have good fruits to eat?

Even if Su Che was crazy, he wouldn't let Zhu Biao get involved in this matter, and it was better to let Fang Keqin, who should have been executed, do this thing.

The reason why Su Che spared Fang Keqin's life, and also added him to the rank of knight, promoted him to the imperial history of the left capital, gave him great power, and was responsible for changing the law and innovating, not only to disgust and calculate his own courtiers, but also to find a suitable candidate!

It's actually quite difficult to find this candidate.

After thinking about it, this party is very suitable!

After being sold by the courtiers, he has completely become a lonely minister, and his ability is not bad, he prefers involution, and it is really suitable to use such a person to preside over the reform of the law.

Maybe Fang Keqin probably knows his fate, since ancient times, people who change the law will never have a good end, once he presides over the change of the law, his reputation will get worse and worse, he will be splashed with all kinds of dirty water, and become notorious!

But there is no turning back, and he also understands that the merits of this matter are judged by future generations!

After the successful change, he will most likely go down in history, and even hope to become the first minister of the Hongwu Dynasty!

For such a goal, Fang Keqin will work very hard.

However, this made Fang Keqin's son Fang Xiaoru suffer.

In the history known to Su Che, Fang Xiaoru was the seed of a scholar in the world, and his fame and reputation were extraordinary.

And now, after Fang Xiaoru is about to become a "traitor", he will no longer be able to have such a high reputation!

……

In a high-gate compound, there are many carriages in and out, and there are many large boxes on the carriages, which provoke some passers-by to look sideways, and some are curious about what is in so many boxes? But no one dared to lean over, because the background of this owner is not simple!

Not far from this house, there is a teahouse.

And in a corner of the second floor of this tea house.

Jin Yiwei commanded Mao Xiang to pick up the teacup and take a sip slowly, his eyes were fierce, staring at the mansion not far away at the moment, and couldn't help but sneer and said: "Brothers, we failed to make meritorious contributions in the last time in the empty seal case, this time we must seize the opportunity!" ”

"Your Majesty said, whoever dares to resell treasure money and maliciously hoard it is influencing the implementation of the decree, no matter what heinous background there is, he will be punished!"

"I have investigated the background of the owner of this mansion, and he is Xuanning Marquis in the background!"

"However, something was done... What if it's Xuanninghou? ”

"The more big people like this, the easier it is for us to make great contributions, and the easier it is for us to make a prestige!"

"When the wagon is over, it's time for us to do it!"
