By the time we got back to the palace, it was already getting dark.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, thought about what Guo An said, and then instructed Yishaha on the side: "Summoning a group of ministers to meet!" ”

Is this time again?

Yisha was subconsciously stunned, since there was a cabinet, His Majesty was relieved to hand over the matter of the chapter to the cabinet elders and His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

And he often goes out of the palace to walk around.

It was not until the evening that His Majesty returned.

Then, he summoned the ministers who were ready to go down to duty, and those ministers, now seeing him, were already a little frightened.

If Your Majesty continues like this, those ministers will probably ......

Thinking about it, Yizha sighed slightly in his heart, but he still responded obediently.

"Slave obeys!"

Immediately, he walked quickly to Wenyuan Pavilion.

And inside the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Nie Zishi, Zhu Fu and other ministers also finished dealing with today's twists and turns and began to prepare for the next duty.

Seeing that the time was about to come, Nie Zishi, Zhu Fu and the others couldn't help frowning directly.

They saw another person who they didn't want to see the most.

The eunuchs who often waited around Zhu Di were also lost, and they were walking towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

Yishaha actually didn't want to come at this point in time, but His Majesty had a will, so he had to come, so he could only bite the bullet and walk in quickly.

"Your Majesty has a decree to summon all the ministers to go to the Fengtian Palace!"

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, everyone was stunned.

Nie Zishi asked in surprise, "Call me and everyone else?" ”

Yisha nodded slowly: "Exactly!" ”

Nie Zishi hurriedly asked, "I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon me?" ”

"I don't know!"

He also replied slowly.

Nie Zishi, Zhu Fu and the other ministers looked helpless, "How can Your Majesty be like this?" ”

"Your Majesty has summoned, so go quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait!"

"Alas......"

……

On the road.

Zhu Fu couldn't help but complain to Nie Zishi, "I hope that Your Majesty's summoning this time has nothing to do with Dinghai Hou!" ”

Nie Zishi was stunned, "Master Zhu is so afraid of Dinghaihou? ”

Zhu Fu sighed slightly, "It's not that I'm afraid, the Marquis of Dinghai is indeed talented and intelligent, and he is a virtuous minister."

However, it was too good to toss, and when the old man was in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, he was exhausted from dealing with the government affairs tossed by the Marquis of Dinghai every day.

Unexpectedly, he was tossed by the Marquis of Dinghai and came to Jingshi, entered the cabinet, and once again helped His Majesty to review the numerous pieces......

If something happens to Dinghaihou again, the old man will really have to explain the old bones here......"

Zhu Fu said the truth, not the slightest falsehood.

Nie Zishi nodded slightly, his face full of sympathy.

Zhu Fu's situation in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, he also knew something.

"Over the years, Mr. Zhu has really worked hard!"

Zhu Fu's face was suddenly moved, "It's still Master Nie who understands the old man!" ”

On the side, Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin and other cabinet ministers were puzzled.

As a courtier, he was reused by His Majesty and reviewed and folded, so a great honor, how could it be that in the eyes of these two, he was a little resistant?

Could it be that it is because of his age?

Zhu Fu and Nie Zishi didn't know about this, but even if they knew, they would just smile faintly.

Dinghai Hou Guo An's toss, only those who have experienced it know how tired it is!

Soon.

A few people followed Yishuha and came to the Fengtian Temple.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!"

After a few people finished saluting, they looked at Zhu Di with some doubts.

"I don't know what Your Majesty has to call Weichen and others to come?"

Zhu Di sighed inexplicably, "We've been thinking about it for the past few days, is your family's money really enough for your family's food and drink?" ”

Nie Zishi and Xie Jin were all shocked, and couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes full of worry.

Could it be that the case of the Zhang family, Zang Shiwen and others a few days ago has not passed.

Among the seven members of the cabinet, only Zhu Fu is at ease.

He was in the court, and he had no relatives or friends.

As for the belongings in his family, they were all rewarded by Zhu Di.

It was Nie Zishi who spoke first and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are not many people in Weichen's family, and there are thirty-five stones every month, which is enough for Weichen's family to eat and wear."

In addition, Weichen's family also has some fields......"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

The Nie family of Shunde Mansion is also a small gentry.

Whether it is a fortune or a rent at home, it is enough for Nie Zishi.

As for Zhu Fu......

"Your Majesty, Weichen is enough!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "When Zhu reinstated the history of the Yanwang Mansion, the annual year-end bonuses and various rewards were even more!" ”

Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin, Huang Boqian, Yin Changlong, Huang Huai, except for Yin Changlong, the rest of the family backgrounds are also considered rich.

Zhu Di couldn't help but be shocked.

"Yin Qing, is your money enough?"

Yin Changlong hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the money received by Weichen is enough for more than a dozen people in Weichen's family to eat, and there are more than 20 acres of fertile land in Weichen's family that do not need to pay taxes, and relatives in the family do not need to serve labor, which is enough!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "If we give all the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty a little bit of money, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and the other seven people were stunned for a while, they suddenly praised with joy on their faces, without a trace of hesitation.

Zhu Fu was direct: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know how much it will rise?" ”

Zhu Di paused and said: "Officials from the first to the third grade will increase by five taels of treasure money per month, officials from the fourth to sixth grade will increase by four taels of treasure money per month, and officials from the seventh to ninth grades will increase by three taels of treasure money per month!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and the others were suddenly ecstatic in their hearts, and hurriedly flattered.

This majesty is really too generous, and he actually increased his salary so much!

Zang Shiwen's death is worth it!

Only Zhu Fu's brows furrowed slightly, he silently calculated in his heart, like this, Daming will issue an additional treasure bill of about one million taels a month, and his heart can't help but be a little dignified.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, such an increase in income, I don't know if the money of the imperial court is enough?"

Hearing this, Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and the others froze.

Yes, the household shouts poverty every day, and the court needs silver everywhere!

And now, the court needs to issue an extra 1 million taels of treasure money every month, how can it be issued?

Zhu Di said: "Let's decide, raise the business tax!" Later, the commercial tax changed from 30 taxes to 15 taxes! ”

"Fifteen taxes one?"

Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and the others were stunned again, and their faces were complicated.

Zhu Fu directly surrendered his hand again, "Your Majesty Shengming, if the commercial tax is raised, it will indeed be enough to solve this problem." ”

Zhu Di said again: "We also decided to change the Beijing inspection, from one inspection every three years to one inspection every year!" ”

"Once a year?"

At this moment, Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and others couldn't help but feel distracted.

"Your Majesty, will this be a little too frequent?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, once a year, there are not so many officials in the ministry!"

Zhu Di ignored it and continued: "Let's use Jingcha to assess the achievements of all officials in the Ming Dynasty, with ethics, government affairs, talent, and greed...... These elements are used to evaluate their political performance.

The performance level is divided into A, B, C, D.

In addition, the court will also come up with a year-end bonus, if the assessment score is A, you can get a year-end bonus of eight times the monthly salary at the end of the year;

If it is B, it can only get six times the monthly year-end bonus;

If it is C, you can only get four times the monthly year-end bonus......

As for Ding, he does not have any year-end bonuses and cannot be promoted.

Let's set up these year-end bonuses so that those officials can live a prosperous life, and no longer have to take the risk of raiding their families and exterminating their families, forming parties for personal gain, and greedy for ink...... There is no need for the Zhang family to pull my Ming officials into the water again......"

Then, Zhu Di said everything Guo An said in detail.

After listening, Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and other ministers were dumbfounded.

Such a genius? With such a study of people's hearts, this majesty is not as simple as it seems......

"Your Majesty's genius is brilliant, Weichen and others are far behind!"

Zhu Di laughed very happily: "In this way, what do you think of what I said? ”

Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and others hurriedly saluted: "This is a great thing that benefits all officials of the Ming Dynasty, and Weichen and others are very supportive." ”

At this time, Nie Zishi and the others were in a surging mood, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

As long as this matter is completed, the seven of them will inevitably be praised and respected by all officials in the world.

Moreover, I can give them an extra hundred taels of treasure money every year, which is enough to make them much richer.

Although they were all very beautiful just now, they were naturally even happier to receive more money.

"In this way, I will take the trouble of you to sort out what I have said into a more detailed and feasible charter.

I set up the year-end bonus in order to make the Ming officials no longer go to those big businessmen for some money......

However, it is absolutely forbidden for corrupt officials and mediocre officials to indiscriminately fill up the number of people, and Ding will become A, and A will become B and C......"

Nie Zishi, Fang Xiaoru and the others hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will definitely do a good job of the charter!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Di's face was full of satisfaction.

And Zhu Fu is also relieved, these people are so positive, then it won't be his turn!

……

Out of the palace gate.

Nie Zishi looked at Zhu Fu tentatively, "Bachelor Zhu, how similar is this method to the year-end bonus of Beiping Yanwangfu, is it ......?"

Zhu Fu said with an affirmative face: "It must be the Dinghai Marquis who tossed it out!" ”

Nie Zishi's expression was complicated, "Sure enough, it's Dinghai Hou!" ”

"In this way, the court is about to shake again!"

"It's a great thing, too!"

"It's extreme, it's ......"

……

Really.

Day 2.

I don't know who revealed it, His Majesty wants to give the courtiers a raise.

All the courtiers were talking about it, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

Day 3.

At the court meeting, Zhu Di finally took out a book full of various detailed regulations, and told the courtiers by Yishiha beside him.

Hearing that not only can a few more treasures be issued every month, but at the end of the year, a year-end bonus of several times the monthly salary will be issued according to the assessment, and all the courtiers are full of joy.

Shout Your Majesty!

As for the increase in commercial taxes, no official cared at all.

Just a little bit of commercial tax, those cheap businessmen still dare to disobey?

Even if some officials feel that something is wrong, under this general trend, they can only obediently slump up!
