"This is really...how did you offend Lantai? No one wants to provoke those people. Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has ignored many of Lantai's memorials. The people in Lantai are all holding their breath!"
Cui Li knew very well.
Zhu Youde was extremely cowardly when he came to the throne, but in the past six months he has suddenly changed into a different person. What are Lantai's memorials about?
They were all trivial matters about officials. It was the Prime Minister who controlled the government before. After he abolished the Prime Minister and changed the six ministries, Lantai's power was greatly reduced.
Moreover, Zhu Youde also established two Jinyiwei factories in the east and west, as well as the capital inspection yamen. The emergence of these institutions greatly dispersed the power of Lantai!
Although people like Feng Bogong and the officials from the noble family were annoyed by the emergence of a secret service agency like Jin Yiwei, they were even happier because these agencies had divided Lantai's power!
Compared to Jinyiwei's East and West factories, those censors in Lantai are the most disgusting!
Because the censors have the power of gossip, as long as they hear something, they can report it to the emperor!
Jinyiwei and the East and West factories, they have to rely on evidence to arrest people, especially as long as they don’t go too far, Zhu Youde will not mess around!
Everyone waited for a while and took a look, oh, even though the Jinyiwei from Dongxi Factory are a secret service agency, they are still human after all!
As for Lantai, those censors are pure humanoid beasts.
The Lantai censors are all people with low taste but great power.
Hearing Cui Li's words, Lu Jun said angrily: "I was in a bad mood when I met your Majesty today. I had a few quarrels with that old guy Xiao Yu. Who would have thought that he would be so crazy and crazy that he would rate me among the top ten?
Crime?"
"Lantai is already crazy, don't you know?"
Lu Jun was stunned!
What you said makes sense!
Cui Li said: "I don't want to be the Minister of Etiquette at all. His Majesty has now chosen me to be in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette. He has a very dark heart. Feng Yuyue must hate me. People like Feng Bogong will make things difficult for me everywhere in the future. What's even more troublesome is how I can explain it to the aristocratic family.
?”
"Master Cui, why are you talking about this now? Can you still resign? Your Majesty asked Feng Yuyue to build roads. The holy will will not change. I heard that when the imperial decree was passed to Feng Yuyue's home, he packed his luggage and left.
Out of town!"
ah!
Cui Li was almost dumbfounded.
Feng Yuyue actually left Jinling on his own initiative, which shows that this person was well prepared. Perhaps the emperor had already made an agreement with Feng Yuyue.
Governor Chidao!
There is no major leader in this position. It was newly established by Zhu Youde to manage Chidao. It seems to be a mundane position, but the emperor is rich, so it doesn’t cost money to build Chidao!
You can also mobilize the army!
This is a fat job. Compared with the Minister of Rites, he is nothing.
What is the role of the Minister of Rites? It manages classics and etiquette. Zhu Youde’s visit to the grave during the Qingming Festival also falls under the management of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, there are also imperial examinations!
But the Ministry of Etiquette only has the power to organize the imperial examination, and serious officials accept their fate in the Ministry of Personnel!
In short, the Ministry of Rites is not a strong department among the six departments.
The Dog Emperor is really good at playing tricks on people. If you let me be the Minister of Rites, you should at least give me some power!
Looking at Lu Jun, Cui Li felt that Lu Jun was also a tragedy. He was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the treasury was empty!
Are there any brothers in distress?
Cui Li sighed: "The emperor is like this, does he want us to die?"
"No, that's not the case. It's nothing more than the emperor's plan to balance and fight between our family officials and Feng Bogong and the imperialists. This shows that His Majesty is not at ease with Feng Bogong and the others!"
Lu Jun thought for a moment: "The foreign dynasties are all imperialists, and they should obey the emperor's orders. However, Feng Bogong and others obviously have their own ideas. Today, several ministers want to exchange the military power of the new army for Shangfang Mansion, so as to avoid the anger of His Majesty's expansion of the army.
The Kingdom of Yan has put the world on alert, but Your Majesty is young after all and feels uncomfortable!"
"Is there such a thing?" Cui Li turned out to be not a minister, so naturally he didn't know what Zhu Youde and the ministers were talking about: "Your Majesty wants to expand the army?"
"In a time of great strife, it is natural for the emperor to expand his army and prepare for war!"
Lu Jundao: "Shang Fang's Mansion is surprising. Who would have thought that it would be a money-making machine? Tang Huo, a small official, has made tens of millions of money for Your Majesty. We thought His Majesty allowed merchants to join the Imperial College just to make money. Now we see
Come on, the income from the Imperial College is nothing. Your Majesty’s source of wealth is Shang Fang Mansion, so the foreign court wants to seize Shang Fang Mansion!”
"Wait a minute, let me relax!" Cui Li took a deep breath, feeling like he couldn't react.
The news Lu Jun said was too profound. When he calmed down, he looked at Lu Jun and said, "You said His Majesty has an income of tens of millions?"
"Although merchants who enroll in the Imperial College earn a lot of money, their income will inevitably decrease after a few years. However, in a small area, a single shuttle can make tens of millions of profits. This is just the purchase of merchants from the northwest, the southeast, and foreign countries? This is a constant stream, and now
If there is a shuttle, there may not be anything else in the future.”
Cui Li nodded, "For such an important land, foreign dynasties should fight for it. It is not a blessing for the royal family to be the only one in the country!"
Lu Jun agreed, "Feng Bogong and others also have the same idea."
The emperor can be rich and powerful, but not too much. Excessive wealth will definitely lead to arrogance and abuse of power!
It's not that these officials deliberately want to restrict Zhu Youde, but that's the education they received!
Things in the world should not be taken too far. If you go too far, you will not be protected by heaven.
Zhu Youde is now like a nouveau riche, and government pays attention to long-term stability, stability and effectiveness.
If Zhu Youde was a wise king, he would certainly be able to make good use of his money, but his descendants may not be the same as Zhu Youde!
The excessively wealthy royal family puts too much pressure on civil servants. Who doesn't want to live a relaxed life? The descendants of civil servants also want to be officials easily in the future.
Only Zhu Youde has money now, so we must restrict it at this time.
This is the cultural tradition of these people.
Cui Li sighed and said: "Your Majesty... you are really a kind of businessman. I don't know who he learned this way of doing business from. He never thought that this craftsman could make such money!"
Lu Jundao: "Who didn't think that Shang Fang Mansion was a joke? They thought it was His Majesty's joke, but I didn't expect..."
Cui Li glanced at Lu Jun: "I don't know if the craftsmen in Shangfang Mansion are willing to work elsewhere..."
The emperor can make money, but the aristocratic family doesn't need it?
Lu Jundao: "You'd better not have such thoughts. Every one of the people in Shang Fang Mansion has registered with His Majesty!"
"It shouldn't be a problem to ask them to go home and train the craftsmen at home!"
"This... maybe it works!"
"That's all right. When your storm is over, I'll test it out with Your Majesty again. Now I can also write a letter to tell my family to get ready!"
"I'm afraid I won't have a good time this time. Mr. Cui, you have to speak for me when the time comes!"
"If I don't speak for you, how can I still be a human being in the future? After all, you and I are both from aristocratic families!"
"Your Majesty... Wow, old thief Xiao Yu, damn you!"
Before Cui Li left, Lu Jun continued to curse!
I really feel uncomfortable not scolding.
It’s not possible unless it’s the day.
Zhu Youde's order to discuss Lu Jun's matter at the imperial meeting also made Jinling excited. Common people loved hearing jokes about high officials the most!
This news was naturally heard by spies from various countries.
