Chapter 83: Whipping
These days.
The six ministries and nine secretaries of the empire, and Yan Song of the cabinet, each of them were full of sadness, and Du Xu Jie, one person was refreshed.
The account is here, and that's how it is calculated.
"Elder Yan Ge, the palace is urging again."
Xu Jiewu put down the abacus in his hand.
Ning Jue stirred it up like this, Xu Jie became relaxed, after all, no one could overturn the case in the Hetao discussion, and this matter was in the end, and it was impossible to solve it by killing an important minister of the court anyway.
Everything is afraid of going alone, and after someone accompanies him, Xu Jie's heart will also be open, after all, there are always people who are more anxious than himself.
Hearing Xu Jie's voice, Yan Song felt his temples bulging outward.
"Shun Yu, have all the households looked at all the warehouses?"
Charbonmu presented the ledger to himself.
"Old Yuyan Pavilion, Taicang, Jingtong Warehouse and even the water sub-warehouse have been inspected, the household department really has no other way, and the silver that can be moved now, except for the inner library, all the accounts are placed here."
Yan Song took a deep breath.
"Got it, Dazhang, where is Juntun?"
Seeing Yan Song calling himself, Ding Rukui's face showed bitterness.
"Yan Ge Lao, Juntun, Juntun...... There is no food. ”
If the military tun can have food, the imperial court will still need to pay the nine sides?
Yan Song sighed helplessly.
"Send someone to check, in case, you and I will have to fight."
Hearing this, Ding Rukui's heart was galloping.
Yan Song, who knew this, remembered the name of a warehouse and wanted to send someone over to take a look.
But that thing is food, not silver on the account, and even if there is, no one has found it for so many years, can it still be eaten?
"Well, the next official will send someone to investigate later."
Tu Qiao smiled bitterly: "Elder Yan Ge, if you can't do it, you ...... Vote for it. ”
Everyone present knows what the vote is going to do.
It's all at this juncture.
What else can be turned into silver besides the sea ban!
"I'm waiting, waiting for the results of Dazhang's side, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens."
Yan Song said this by himself, and his heart was empty.
Everyone knows that it's just a bit of a delay.
Just when the cabinet was deadlocked.
"Bang!" With a bang, the door to the cabinet was kicked open from the outside.
"Yan Song! It's a tolerance point that you get into! ”
Zhou Shangwen's rough voice echoed in the cabinet.
In fact, even if Zhou Shangwen doesn't speak, the big guys all know that the entire Ming Dynasty can be such a polite person in the cabinet, and who else can there be after Zhou Shangwen.
Xu Jie sat on the side exhausted.
"Old General Zhou, why are you here again?"
Zhou Shangwen stared at Yan Song, who was sitting in the middle, and said angrily: "Yan Song! You give a happy word, when will our Datong's reward and bereavement be issued?! ”
Even if Yan Song is muddy, this anger should overflow.
Zhou Shangwen was so aggressive, Yan Song directly dropped the pen in his hand, leaned back on the chair and directly smashed it.
"Zhou Yanzhang, how many times has the old man told you, the cabinet has no silver, and the court has no silver, it's useless for you to strangle me!"
Zhou Shangwen gasped.
"You think Naigong doesn't dare, right?!"
Saying that, Zhou Shangwen was about to walk towards Yan Song, but Xu Jie saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly got up.
"Old General Zhou, this can't be helped, you two are both important ministers of the society......"
Zhou Shangwen also scared and scared Yan Song, and after Xu Jie's persuasion, he simply got off the donkey, and suddenly pulled out a chair on the side and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Yan Song! Naigong asked Ling again for the last time, do you send this reward and pension? ! ”
"There is no silver, there is no silver, and the silver searched by the court has not been found, where can I go to you to find the silver? Why don't you take the old man's old bones to the West Market and weigh them to see how much silver they are worth? ”
Zhou Shangwen bowed his head slightly and pointed at Yan Song.
"Yan Song, count you ruthless, this time it was Naigong who came to ask you for a salary, and I don't know who it is next time!"
"No one has any money! You are the soldiers of the whole town of Datong who dragged their families into Beijing, should there be no silver or no silver? ”
What Zhou Shangwen wanted was Yan Song's words.
"Okay, Elder Yan Ge, remember what you said!"
"I'm not old enough to forget it!"
Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Zhou Shangwen had already brushed his sleeves away, leaving only a group of important ministers sitting in the cabinet in a daze.
After a long time, Yan Song waved his hand haggardly.
"Let's get busy, let's wait."
"Whoa."
Jiuqing left one after another, Xia Bangmo wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth and sighed, got up and wanted to leave.
This scene was clearly seen by Zhang Juzheng, who was settling accounts with the account room behind.
As soon as Xia Bangmo walked out of the duty house, Zhang Juzheng followed.
"Xia Butang, and stop."
"Uncle?"
Xia Bangmo looked at Zhang Juzheng suspiciously.
Zhang Juzheng bowed, then got up and said: "Just now Zhang saw that Xia Butang wanted to speak and stopped, but there is a way to break the situation?" ”
Xia Bangmo is a native of Zhongzhou, Chongqing, while Zhang Ju is a native of Jingzhou.
Although the two places belong to two provinces, they drink the same river water, relying on the shipping of the Yangtze River, and the two places have been close to each other since ancient times because of their close shipping exchanges, although they are not called fellow villagers, but they are also more cordial.
"Ugh."
Xia Bangmo pondered for a moment, then sighed and continued: "Uncle, you are in the East Palace, there are some things that you will know sooner or later in the future, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly stood up straight and listened.
"In fact, the imperial court has more than one way to go, in fact, there is another way to go, but there are fewer people who dare to mention it than the sea ban."
Zhang Juzheng looked at Xia Bangmo with a stunned expression.
"Please also ask Xia Butang to make it clear."
"Uncle, come with me."
Xia Bangmo took Zhang Juzheng and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Out of Chengtianmen is the government office of the sixth department, after Zhang Juzheng followed Xia Bangmo into the household office, Xia Bangmo took out a few copies of the note from a warehouse behind him and put it in front of Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Xia Bangmo suspiciously.
"...... this?"
"After reading it, Uncle will understand."
Zhang Juzheng only glanced at it a few times, and his brows furrowed.
"Whipping?"
"yes."
"The rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand, only by practicing this method can we cure the root cause."
Zhang Juzheng only glanced at it a few times, and then understood the general idea of the whip method, and Zhang Juzheng looked at these notes in front of him in disbelief.
"If you have this method, why can't it?"
Xia Bangmu stood aside and said lightly with his hands behind his back.
"Uncle can continue to read the signature."
Zhang Juzheng turned these notes to the front.
"Minister, Zhang Fujing."
"Minister, Gui Cao."
"Minister, Liang Cai."
"Minister, Xia Bangmo."
“……”
In front of Zhang Ju is the book of the change of the law of several important ministers who have been in charge of the household department since Jiajing succeeded to the throne, from the beginning of the clearing of fields and acres, to the gradual formation of the whip law, and the program of the whip law has almost been built.
It's just that the fate of these copies is that they were all left in the middle and finally deposited in the household.
Zhang Juzheng raised his head in disbelief.
"Xia Butang, have you all been in a book?"
"Yes, the mud cow entered the sea, and there was no news, I thought that my father summoned me to Beijing to perform the whipping method, who thought that it was already idle for more than three years."
"Maybe the monarch has the difficulties of the monarch."
After a long time, Zhang Juzheng looked at Xia Bangmo cautiously.
"Xia Butang, these recitals, do you want to study them carefully?"
Xia Bangmo bowed slightly.
"As long as you don't leave the house, uncle can come and see it at any time if he wants to see it."
"Whoa."
It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Juzheng realized.
In fact, after the Xiaozong Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty urgently needed to change the law, and it has become the consensus of the government and the opposition, and various new laws such as whip law, rat tail book, and ten-paragraph brocade book law have emerged in endlessly.
On that day, Zhang Juzheng stayed in the household department for a long time.
No one knows how depressed Zhang Juzheng was when he left the household, because Zhang Juzheng, who spent his childhood in the most peaceful years of the Jiajing Dynasty, became the first person in the Ming Dynasty to know what fatal mistakes the monarch father whom he regarded as his idol had made.
A statue collapsed and was replaced by a "man" who was also infallible.
Just as Zhang Juzheng was walking towards his home, Ma Fang rode a fast horse out of Beijing and went straight to Datong.
There were only eight words on the letter.
"Come to Beijing to ask for salary, don't bring armor."
