Chapter 1898: Cut the mess with a quick knife

After Ye Chunqiu said that, Zhu Zai said, "I have it. Can Yafu show me the rules?"

Ye Chunqiu had already made people ready. Since Zhu Zai had asked, he took out the ten thousand words of memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Zai.

Zhu Zai took it, lowered his head and looked at it with concentration, which took more than an hour.

In fact, he was young and ignorant of the world. He still didn't understand many things in it, but he tried hard to understand and digest them. Occasionally, he raised his eyes and said, "But since he wanted to take these exams, the candidates didn't know what books they read, so how do they take the exam?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "The Ming Dynasty law, as well as various economic, classical and historical books, and the poetry club have borrowed a lot of books from outside the pass and are ready to start printing. Now it is ready to increase its power and print millions of copies. In addition, there are also many printing costs outside the pass, which can be spread out in the book shops in various prefectures and counties at low prices."

Zhu Zai nodded. With his current printing ability, what Ye Chunqiu said was indeed possible. You should know that the newspapers in major newspapers nowadays are hundreds of thousands of copies of newspapers. Driven by newspapers and Taibaiji, the printing industry has been a long way to go. Many printing workshops are extremely large in scale, and there are hundreds or thousands of craftsmen recruited alone.

It is also because of this that as long as there is a sales channel, the printing workshops inside and outside the pass can be fully started and all related books can be placed on the shelves as soon as possible.

Zhu Zai continued to look on. After reading it, he breathed a long sigh and said, "Actually, I have only a little understanding of it. In theory, it should be for the Hanlins to discuss it. However... I see, even if I discuss it for them, they will definitely object in unison. Since I am determined to do this, I will simply not show it to them. Master Wang, I have someone to say hello to the cabinet. It should not object, but when should I start the execution?"

Ye Chunqiu had already thought about many questions and said casually: "Now the issuance of the decree. The exam will be held immediately next year. The minister has calculated that the number of officials in the ninth rank of counties and prefectures is 15,000. This vacancies are large. In addition, other officials need to be set up, and the number of people is also huge. Therefore, the Jinshi to be admitted to the current rank of the institute is still more than a hundred, and Juren can be divided into two types. One is a serious Juren. This kind of person can be awarded some eighth rank official positions with about 3,000 or more. In addition, the number of Juren is more than 20,000. The total number of people is 30,000. From then on, the imperial examination and the provincial examination can be merged. After passing the exam, they will be allowed to take the post immediately without any delay in the middle."

This was obviously a bit beyond Zhu Zai's expectations, and Zhu Zai couldn't help but say: "The salary spent by so many officials is probably quite large."

Ye Chunqiu Shen glanced at Zhu Zai and said, "Now, the new policy cannot be implemented within the pass, so industry and commerce are stagnant, and the taxes that can be collected are limited. However, isn't there any dividends from Zhenguo Mansion in the inner treasury? That has always been a considerable number. The salary of the ninth-rank official is only one hundred taels a year, and tens of thousands of people is three million taels a year. This is indeed a considerable expense. But now to stabilize people's hearts, the treasury must advance the money. The dividends from Zhenguo Mansion to the palace are basically around 10 million taels a year, spending only three million taels a year to make scholars return to their hearts. The new policy can be implemented, which is also considered a good use. When the new policy is promoted in the future, and the national treasury is abundant, it will naturally be a matter of no matter."

Zhu Zai knew that there was indeed a lot of treasury. In the past, the treasury needed to subsidize the new army and border towns. But later, Lu State rose in the desert, which was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty no longer needed to guard against enemies from the north. Therefore, the military expenditure was greatly reduced after the Tatars were completely incorporated by Lu State.

According to Ye Chunqiu, this is a cost of maintaining stability and must be taken out temporarily at present.

In fact, if there was no such treasury, Zhu Zai would not be able to solve this problem. Zhu Zai just thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, what can I bear to let go? The world is my own, and the treasury is the silver of the treasury! I will say hello to Gu Dayong and let him save the expenses and expenses in the palace."

"Anyway, everything is followed by Yafu. I will issue an edict in a few days. Please ask Yafu to discuss and consider the specific details with Master Wang. The spring exam will begin next year. Yafu is right. The best way now is to cut the mess quickly. The longer it drags on, the more trouble it will be. I should make a decision."

Zhu Zai is rare, showing a sense of perseverance.

To a certain extent, Ye Chunqiu gave him great confidence.

Since childhood, Zhu Zai knew that this father Ya was a capable man, and his mother had been instilling this concept in him. When he grew up, he went to the Zhan Shi Mansion and occasionally met Ye Chunqiu. In his cognition, nothing that Ye Chunqiu had to do could not be achieved. Because of this, Zhu Zai had a natural absolute confidence in him.

After these matters were negotiated, the monarch and minister became much easier.

Zhu Zai smiled and said, "I am afraid I can have a good sleep tonight. Father Ya, I have entrusted you all the things. I am so tired. I really hope I can have some leisure time."

Ye Chunqiu was not surprised. Zhu Zai certainly had enough trust in himself. In fact, if it were not for Ye Chunqiu's support, Zhu Zai would not have succeeded in the throne, let alone even in danger of life. After quelling the rebellion, Ye Chunqiu was actually fully capable of being Cao Cao and Wang Mang, but he ran away without hesitation, so that Zhu Zai could be a real monarch.

How could such a Ye Chunqiu not reassure Zhu Zai?

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Zai's young face, but his temperament was more mature than many of his peers. He couldn't help but feel soft, but he knew in his heart that if Zhu Houzhao was still there, Zhu Zai would probably not have to be so tired so soon, and he could continue to work hard to be his King of Lu outside the pass.

I have to curse again, that willful guy is so tiring.
