Zhang Yan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "The king of faith is here?" ”

"The younger brother has seen the imperial sister-in-law." Zhu Youzhen walked out and saluted.

Zhang Yan said: "What Liu Mao said, can you agree? ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "The younger brother thinks that what Lord Liu said is based on the ancestral system determined by Taizu, whether it is according to the ancestral system, please make a judgment!" ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "King Xin, do you mean to agree?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Youzhen straightened his neck, looked directly at Huang Xiao on Zhang Yan's left, and said loudly: "The imperial brother was killed by a traitor!" Now life and death are unknown, the country will not be a country, and the ministers are duty-bound! ”

"Minister, second!"

"Minister, please believe that His Royal Highness will supervise the country!"

"Now that the court is treacherous and evil, and the court is sluggish, it is the time for His Royal Highness King Xin to put things right!"

……

The ministers clamored one after another.

After the eunuchs who maintained order sounded their whips, the ministers fell silent.

Zhang Yan was furious in her heart, Zhu Youzhen's sentence of life and death was unknown, and it meant something, and it was clear that she didn't believe her own statement, she held back her anger and said lightly: "King Xin's words are also reasonable, since all the ministers have to ask Taizu Zu to train out, the palace thinks it's okay!" ”

All the ministers were amazed.

But I heard Zhang Yan ask Wei Zhongxian.

"Factory ministers, Taizu Zuxun, officials are corrupt, how to convict?"

All the ministers were in their hearts.

Wei Zhongxian said: "The "Great Edict" promulgated by Taizu stipulates: If you embezzle ten taels, you will be dismissed from the government and confiscated into the army, and it will reach sixty taels of skinning and grass! ”

The ministers are all shocked!

They all looked at Liu Mao angrily!

Knowing that the queen and Huang Xiao don't play cards according to the routine, what kind of ancestral training do you Liu Mao mention!

If you discussed it before, you didn't dare to say it, you had to talk about the ancestral teachings, but now it's okay! How to end!

Liu Mao also had a hard time, and the ministers pushed him out, saying that it was based on the rumors of Huang Xiao and the queen, but when it came to the end, Liu Mao retreated again, they could talk about it in private, and he didn't dare to do it in the Jinluan Palace.

At this moment, he could only stubbornly say: "Niangniang Mingjian, time has passed, and the provisions of the "Great Message" have long been out of use, so it is ......"

Zhang Yan interrupted with a sneer: "Yes, if it meets yours, you can use it, and if it doesn't, you don't need it!" ”

Liu Mao was sweating profusely and couldn't speak.

Zhang Yan said: "In two days, all my ministers of the Ming Dynasty will give 20 million taels of silver!" Scold! If Taizu had appeared, you would have been skinned and filled with grass and hung in front of the yamen to show the public! And what kind of face to talk about here! ”

"You are all readers, could it be that the more you read, the thicker your skin becomes? The books of the sages have been read to the face? ”

The ministers were all trembling with anger, and they didn't know how to refute it.

Zhang Yan said: "If it weren't for His Majesty's will before, and he would not be guilty of the past, this palace would be able to ask you today!" Here, this palace will say again that this palace can not be blamed for corruption in the past, but if there is such behavior in the future, it will be severely punished! ”

"Niang Niang Shengming!" The ministers were all relieved.

Zhang Yan said: "Your Majesty has an order, and you will wait for Huang Xiao to assist the palace and temporarily manage the government!" If you don't obey the order, you will be severely punished! ”

The ministers were silent, and no one responded.

Zhu Youjian trembled.

Gu Bingqian said: "Niangniang, the minister is old and frail, and he is not qualified for the position of first assistant, please tell the old man to return to his hometown!" ”

"The minister is also old, please resign!"

……

Whoa! The ground was kneeling with ministers.

Zhang Yan said lightly: "You are resigning, and you are not willing to assist the palace, okay, the palace has allowed it!" ”

"You will hand it over to the commander of Jinyi Wei to make Liu An check the past! If you are innocent, you can return to your hometown. ”

The ministers are all trembling!

This trick...... It's so ruthless!

"Niangniang, the minister listened to Niangniang's teachings, it was like an empowerment, the minister can still share the worries of Niangniang, and he can also serve the Ming Dynasty!"

"In this chaotic situation, minister, you can't resign! The minister cannot live up to the expectations of the mother and His Majesty! ”

"I also think I can do it for a few more years!"

……

The ministers all stood up.

Zhang Yan laughed out loud.

Huang Xiao also felt breathtaking, the face of a scholar is really not covered!

Zhang Yan smiled: "This palace will listen to it!" What do you have to say? ”

Huang Xiaodao: "What Lord Liu Mao said just now, Ben Hou feels very reasonable, time has passed, and it's time to change the ancestral system!" ”

The ministers were all stunned.

Huang Xiaodao: "Taizu used the law to govern corruption, and the number of corrupt officials killed alone amounted to tens of thousands, but why is it still difficult to eradicate it today?" Of course, there are people who are greedy, and there are also reasons for improper systems, my salary is so low that it is difficult to support my family, and I can't live a life corresponding to my status! ”

"Yes, Benhou plays to invite Niangniang to redefine Yulu!"

The ministers are all overjoyed!

The eyes that looked at Huang Xiao changed!

Where is this Shechen, this is clearly the lucky star we are waiting for!

The Ming Dynasty's Yulu system is really indescribable.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the system of combining rice and treasure money was implemented.

For example, Zhengyi is a big man, and the monthly salary is 85 stone rice, but not necessarily all of them are given rice, but a large part of them are used to offset the rice with treasure money.

The lowest is from the ninth grade, and the monthly salary is 5 stone rice.

After the rapid depreciation of the treasure banknote, it became a combination of rice + variety.

From the Yongle period, the officials' salaries began to be reduced.

Zheng He went to the West and brought back a large amount of pepper, sumu and other things, so Zhu Di used these things to offset seventy percent of the Beijing officials, and the remaining three percent were rice.

Especially after pepper was widely planted, it was worthless, so that the people used it to make food for sale, such as Yueniang's Hu spicy soup stall......

But the imperial court still calculates the value when it was just brought back!

That's a bit of a trick.

No matter how you calculate it, if you only rely on money to live, you really can't get by.

For example, a first assistant must always have a sedan chair driver, a doorman, a servant, a cook, a nurse, a maid, and other personnel, and this expenditure will definitely not be able to rely on Yulu alone!

The subordinates send ice and charcoal in summer and winter, and there are New Year's respects, joyful respects, mourning respects, and door respects......

Of course, Yulu is actually secondary, and invisible benefits are their important income.

Tian Ding's preferential exemption is the bulk of the income.

For example, Xiucai, the lowest level, can be tax-exempt 40 acres, exempt from labor for two people.

After conversion, nearly 10,000 acres can be tax-exempt! This income, that's it!

Zhang Yan naturally followed the flow of kindness and said: "Zhong Yihou thinks how to distribute the money so that officials can have a quality life without corruption?" ”

The ministers were all in high spirits, and they looked at Huang Xiao with blazing eyes.

Huang Xiaodao: "The monthly salary system is still adopted, no longer discounted, and the silver is issued directly!" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, and the ministers all agreed.

Huang Xiaodao: "As for how much to send, this will be discussed by you and handed over to the mother!" ”

Decide your own?

Is there such a good thing?

The ministers froze.
