Chapter 22: The Evils of the Dynasty
"How is that possible? Shouldn't it be a jade statue that can't be sold? ”
Many powerful people are not calm, and the pace has stopped in unison.
Chun Yuyue's body trembled, and when he saw the yellow, orange, and orange things, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, the strength of the old body did not know where to get from, and he rushed up and pounced on the golden gold.
Holding gold in his hand, he kept turning and swinging, but his mouth was spitting crazy words.
"Gold? How is gold? How can it be? Shouldn't it be a jade statue? I don't believe it, I don't believe it. ”
Shang Xin ignored it, perhaps on purpose, and limped towards the other vehicles, and accidentally, he stumbled again, and ripped off the fabric on the other carriage, revealing the golden thing, which was still gold.
Then, several carriages were opened, revealing a yellow, orange and orange ingot, which immediately lit up the entire palace gate.
"This ......" Chun Yuyue felt like he was being plugged in his drink, and his throat was swollen terribly.
How so?
It's all gold!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Chun Yuyue is almost crazy, and he refuses to believe it at all.
"Is this the money of the treasury?"
"Whew!" Shang Xin sneered and asked, "Do I have the right to move the treasury?" ”
Rumble!
Chun Yuyue felt a critical blow to his heart. Oh, yes! How can a eunuch use the treasury, that ......
His faith collapsed. Is this the result of selling the jade statue? Other than that, he couldn't think of a source of gold.
At this moment, his whole body was rigid, standing in place like dry wood in the wind.
This is the return of selling the jade statue, not the return of Qin Banliang, it is gold, cart after cart of gold.
In other words, His Majesty's jade statues have been sold, and they must be sold for a very high price without looking at them.
He seemed to be physically and mentally devastated.
It took a while to accept this fact.
Chun Yuyue really didn't want to ask the price, but he couldn't hold back the thirst in his heart, he wanted to know if it was ten times.
"Shang, Shang, what is the price?"
"Ten times!" Shang Xin still walked over staggeringly, but his tone was not staggering at all.
Ten times?
Chun Yu Yue listened to it, and his body was like dry wood in the wind again, and he almost fell down.
It's really ten times, he was wrong, the price did not fall straight down according to his thoughts, but really soared to ten times, Li Zhao guessed right, and he was wrong.
At that time, Chun Yuyue didn't know how to stand, didn't speak wildly, didn't take it for granted, and didn't have the lofty of the great Confucian, and the whole person fell into a dead silence.
"Hey, hey! Dr. Chunyu, I'm just about to go to the palace to report, do you want to go? At this time, Shang Xin glanced at Chun Yuyue and asked in a very sharp voice, "Didn't you say that Your Majesty would regret it?" Why don't you go and see how His Majesty regrets it. ”
"Actually, I also know that Your Majesty will definitely regret it, regretting that there were too few jade statues ordered at the beginning."
Shang Xin didn't know how to hurt that tendon, and this was a bit heartfelt.
can be heard in Chun Yuyue's ears, is it so ......
"You ....." he felt a pain in his chest, a heart-wrenching pain.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty asked me to tell you a word, this is the economy, you don't understand it at all."
After Shang Xin finished speaking, he left, with a smile of revenge.
Chun Yuyue listened to this sentence, grief-stricken and painful.
Economy? What exactly is the economy? Heaven and earth, is it wrong? Are the laws of nature wrong?
He began to doubt himself.
........
The ups and downs of the jade market have made many powerful people unbearable and have suffered heavy losses.
In particular, when some people see the price of jade soaring, they can't stand the inner torture, and they have rushed wildly, and when they reach a high position, they think it will be higher, so they don't sell, but when it comes, the price of jade is like a waterfall, and it is a thousand miles, and when they react, the price has fallen to the end, and the loss is unbearable.
Sad, sad!
The most unacceptable is Gao Yu, one of the nine kings and the assistant of the Shaofu.
The assistant is an official under the Shaofu.
As an official of the Shaofu, Gao Yu has a very high status, but he gave birth to a disobedient son, Gao Fugui, which broke his heart.
Gao Fugui qualifications are average, can not get recommended, idle at home, this time the jade market is swinging, and I don't know who instigated, I actually bought a lot of jade when the jade was high, in order to make a lot of money, but there are unforeseen wind and rain, everyone predicts that the price of jade will continue to rise, but a quick head-on to catch up, he can't do it if he wants to.
It's a big loss.
After Gao Yu found out, he was furious. That's half of his life's income, and this loser is ruined like this.
Gao Fugui was also very discouraged, he felt that this time it must be a steady profit, but he didn't know that such a drastic change would occur, and the price of jade would plummet, and it would soon reach the bottom.
Gao Yu was so angry that he was going crazy, but this was his only seedling, and he couldn't beat him with a heavy hand, so he was absent-minded when he was on duty, and his mind was full of jade.
......
In Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng was handling government affairs, and Feng went to see him.
Feng Quji came over with a bamboo roll, and his brows furrowed:
"Your Majesty, this is this year's tax, please take a look."
Every year, after the tax is sorted out by the Shaofu, it will be submitted to the prime minister for review.
Today, Han Shaofu submitted a tax data, and found that there was something wrong with the tax this year, obviously less, and after he ordered someone to count it, he found that it was not that the tax was less, but that there was a problem with the data.
He felt that this matter needed to be reported to the emperor, so he came.
Ying Zheng looked at it and couldn't see why, so he asked: "Well, this year's tax is not ideal, maybe it is caused by drought!" ”
Yes, this is not a good year, and it is understandable that the drought will lead to a reduction in food production and a reduction in taxes.
Feng Quji knew that the emperor didn't see the problem, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is not the key to the problem, I just ordered someone to count and found that the tax and the original data are not bad, but this data is far from the same." ”
Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "You mean that some officials in the Shaofu are not doing their jobs?" ”
"I think so." Feng Qujian nodded.
Ying Zheng was angry when he heard this, and he smashed it with a bamboo roll, "Who dares to do this?" Sin deserves to be killed. ”
Failure to perform due diligence in tax statistics will directly affect the decision-making of the dynasty, and according to the Great Qin Law, the crime is unforgivable.
Feng Quji didn't answer, shook his black sleeves, quickly knelt down, and said, "The ministers and others are not supervising effectively, please punish Your Majesty." ”
After a while, Ying Zheng's anger eased slightly, and he helped Feng Quji, "You will secretly check this matter, and those who fail to do their jobs will be severely punished." ”
This is the minimum disposition of Yingzheng.
But Feng Quji still didn't speak, but said leisurely: "Your Majesty, this move is not a good policy, and the problem is fundamentally in personnel supervision." ”
"Hmm!" Ying Zheng frowned again.
Since Wang Juan resigned from the post of prime minister, the position of prime minister has been divided into two, left and right prime ministers, and jointly in charge of political affairs, but there is a division of labor.
The right prime minister Feng is in charge of taxes, etc., and the left prime minister is in charge of personnel.
"What do you mean by that?" When it comes to Lis, he has to understand clearly.
Feng Quji bowed again and said: "Since the unification of my Great Qin, the external troubles have gradually disappeared, and the magnates have been slack because of their outstanding merits, and in addition, the personnel have been arranged by Prime Minister Li Cheng over the years, and most of them are the sons of nobles, so they ......."
Indeed, Li Si is a representative of the powerful, and it is inevitable that all children will be arranged for personnel, which is something known to all the powerful ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Feng Quji didn't say any more, but Ying Zheng understood, that is to say, these powerful people began to be pampered, and arranged for their children to enter the main official positions.
And these children are used to living a comfortable life, how can they have the heart to put on the right thing, even if they have, how mediocre the children are, lack of ability, and they can't do big things.
This is precisely the disadvantage of personnel.
Ying Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"In fact, this is not only the case for people in the Shaofu, but also for other ministers." Feng Qujian told the truth.
"Do one thing and do one thing, these people are bold." Ying Zheng slapped one hand on the desk, extremely angry.
"Your Majesty, please stop your anger!" Feng Qujian hurriedly knelt down and continued, "Maybe this is just affected by the recent price changes in the jade market. ”
"In the future, it may change in the future."
Speaking of this, Feng Quji's voice became smaller and smaller, and his words were unreliable.
Indeed, there have been too many powerful people who have been so fascinated by the outrageous price movements of jade that they have gone crazy lately, and eventually the price collapse has caused them to lose a lot.
Perhaps, that's why they're slacking!
"Change? Will they? A jade artifact disturbs this, so what about the future? Damn it! Ying Zheng was furious.
Yes, will there be no jade phenomenon in the future? No one can guarantee it.
After a long time, he sighed, thinking that this was a disadvantage of the current situation!
Killing is inexhaustible, and it will shake the foundation of the country, this is already a kind of atmosphere, killing a few people will only curb it for a while, but it will not be permanent.
The root of the problem is that it needs to be reformed!
Li Zhao is right, innovation is the right way, the innovation of fertilizer makes cyclamen full, so that there is hope for grain production, what about the dynasty? What about the market?
"Li Zhao? I'm going to see you. ”
Recently, somehow, as soon as there was something to worry about, Ying Zheng thought of Li Zhao.
