One of Zhu Di's firecrackers exploded in the sky above Yingtian, which also made Xu Jingchang panicked and broke into a cold sweat.
Thinking of what Xia Yuanji said just now, Xu Jingchang felt bad...
Zhu Di is now eager to seek governance and is eager to fill the national treasury deficit, but it cannot affect the recovery of people's livelihood. He wants the horse to run, but also wants the horse not to eat grass.
He asked the six departments to perform their duties, just to dig out the flesh and mend the sores, but he couldn't complain about the pain and had a bunch of doctors watching him.
But the problem is that whether it is levying business taxes or going to the Western Seas, these bad things have something to do with you.
If you make a mistake, you will lose your excuse. Based on my current human nature, it is estimated that all the civil and military officials in the court will only clap their hands and cheer when they hear that they are unlucky, and they are eager to come over to have a feast.
Now that the division of powers and responsibilities is clear, Xia Yuanji only needs to keep the land tax and Ding tax, and at most add the salt tax.
There are fixed methods for these three things. As long as the supervision is strict and the annual income is increased by 10% or 20%, it is not difficult.
What really matters is yourself.
If you can't collect it, you will be scolded.
After returning home, be sure to wash yourself well, burn your smelly rags, and prepare a big fire pot at the door to drive away evil spirits.
This group of people, like students who went to the cafeteria to grab food, ran out one after another.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jingchang suddenly felt blessed. He quickly grabbed the chains on both sides, entangled them together, and then locked the locks.
Instead of going out and taking the blame, I might as well stay in jail.
"Your Majesty has already said that when the time comes, you will be allowed to go home. What are you doing in jail? Are you still addicted to jail?"
Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a long time, and could only lean forward and said: "Father, to be honest, you said that the government is in chaos, corruption is rampant, and all officials need to reflect on themselves. This is certainly true. But speaking of it, my cousin is my father.
The appointed general secretary has only been working for a few months. The corrupt officials in various yamen were caught by his cousin. He did not keep a penny in his arms. He had done so much to help his father, but his father did not
Locking him up with ordinary courtiers would be depressing even if he were a child."
Xu Jingchang is not the kind of dispensable little person. Under his management, the General Affairs Department is expected to become the center of government affairs.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The child thinks that the father should go to the prison in time and invite his cousin out."
Xu Jingchang broke into a cold sweat. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Half of his soul flew away.
When he saw Xu Jingchang with the two princes, Zhu Di asked sternly, "You kid, do you feel wronged and want me to compensate you? Do you need me to prepare a carriage for you and drag you out like Grand Duke Jiang?"
ah?"
Xu Jingchang subconsciously looked around and felt that a pair of sinister eyes were about to eat him alive.
Zhu Di led two pigs and came to the prison again aggressively.
To be honest, Zhu Di couldn't help but praise him. In addition to being able to irritate people, this bastard was really cunning. When he came out, he would join the ministers and receive the military order. If he couldn't complete it by then, he
It is definitely a target of public criticism.
Zhu Di's eyes widened. Is this my fault?
"Boss, tell me!"
"Xu Tongzheng, what are you doing?"
Are we waiting for the big guys to come in next year?
These insects are definitely going to hit hard!
This guy Zhu Laosi, he is the emperor, and as an emperor he is a dangerous species. We cannot expect him to be kind and gentle... Even if his aunt is here, that will not work.
They were scolding each other, but Zhu Di was also furious.
If everyone fails to complete the task next year and Zhu Di moves in, I can still be his companion.
"No!"
He was stunned and forced Zhu Di to come to the prison a second time.
Queen Xu did not tolerate him, "Your Majesty, I have told you to be nice to your nephew, but you insist on locking him up without any mercy. The child has worked so hard in the past few months. Your Majesty's actions, Is it really chilling?”
This last sentence was light and airy, but when Xu Jingchang heard it, it was as if thunder exploded and he shuddered.
"My cousin is not Jiang Ziya, but he is Tao Zhugong!" Zhu Gaoxu replied.
Even the six ministers and senior officials like Liu Jun and Song Li started running.
Leave Tianlao quickly and never come back.
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "Now that we've come, let's make peace with it. Let's just stay in and don't go out."
The most important thing is that Zhu Di's ambition forced the ministers to issue a military order. What should we do?
Who will implement it?
No one in the Inspectorate or the Sixth Section will be polite.
Xu Jingchang said simply: "You will be caught even if you go out, and next time I will be the culprit for not completing His Majesty's request. I'm afraid I won't even be able to stay in jail and will be sent directly to Caishikou. What else will I do out there?"
He didn't come out, but turned around and returned to the prison!
"Okay, I'll go! You two don't be idle, come with me!"
"What do you think?"
"Absurd!" Zhu Di snorted: "You are still blaming me. I will naturally take care of you like my own nephew, and no one can touch you."
"What's going on? My words are useless? Is Xu Jingchang so disobedient that he insists on staying in the prison and has trouble with me?" Zhu Di shouted angrily.
He picked it up and still got scolded.
Bastard named Xu, we are not done yet!
I have to say that Xu Jingchang is really ruthless.
Zhu Di was even more stunned. When it comes to financial management, Xu Jingchang is extraordinary just because of his Jubaomen tax card. Moreover, he is a relative of the emperor, so he can be trusted. In addition, he is very resourceful and can often break the rules and take action inadvertently. ...Just like this time, all the ministers came out, but he stayed.
Finally free.
Zhu Di was speechless for a moment and looked at his second child again.
I'm not going out!
What is this operation?
Before Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji had gone far, when they looked back, their jaws almost dropped.
We have food and drink, and we can live there for another year at worst.
They all ran out, but Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji stayed at the end. They looked at each other again and again, both with smiles on their faces.
After saying this, Zhu Di fell into deep thought. Yes, he just asked them to perform their duties faithfully, but he didn't explain clearly how to do it.
Zhu Di tilted his two sons, and then sighed heavily: "You said it was unfair, then why don't you go out?"
Xu Jingchang looked to both sides and saw that the chains were still there and the bull-headed lock had not been removed.
Xu Jingchang didn't care what these two people said, he even wanted to hum a little tune.
Xia Yuanji said: "I will also send officials here to supervise various places and urge the payment of money and food. At least we will have to bear some infamy. No matter what, we cannot let down the holy grace."
Zhu Di could vaguely guess Xu Jingchang's thoughts.
Now that Xu Jingchang has given up his job, many government affairs cannot be handled.
Wang Zhong chuckled and said, "Xu Tongzheng, I have thought about it these days. No matter what, I want to listen to you and follow your lead. If you don't leave, I won't leave either. Anyway, His Majesty asked me to squat for three months, and there are still two more I haven’t finished squatting yet!”
Xu Jingchang was startled, "Your Majesty, where do you start with these words? It's such an injustice!"
Xu Jingchang took a few steps inside when he suddenly saw Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, and was startled.
Xu Jingchang burst into laughter, "I said, Marquis of Jing'an, if I don't go out, then everyone in the court will be an enemy, and no one wants me to pass smoothly. If you go out to lead troops and become a marquis, why do you have to suffer with me?"
As long as you are alive in this life, you will never come back again.
He immediately denied it, joking. Even if I complained about Zhu Laosi in my heart, I would never say it out loud.
Wang Zhong said decisively: "I scolded Xia Yuanji. That guy is just a smiling tiger. I'm afraid he will give me little shoes to wear. The only one who can help me now is you Xu Tongzheng. No matter what, I will go forward and retreat with you."
.”
"I will submit a letter later, asking the capital to inspect all officials and clean up the officialdom, so that I can give an explanation to His Majesty."
As they spoke, they glanced at Xu Jingchang who was still thinking behind him. They laughed and said: "Xu Tongzheng, let's go quickly. You have to hurry up and think about a solution. If you have any difficulties, come to us and we will definitely help you."
We will help you a lot. Don’t worry, we won’t hold you back.”
And unlike last time, Zhu Di really came in this time.
"You asked me to invite him? Is he Taigong Jiang?" Zhu Di said angrily.
Wang Zhong agreed happily, and then the two of them were left in the prison, and then the entire Ming Dynasty was in chaos.
"You, why are you here? Get out quickly, His Majesty agreed."
Xu Jingchang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, things are not that simple. You have given both kindness and power, thunder and rain. Even Emperor Taizu could not do better. But you just asked all the ministries to perform their duties faithfully, but you still did not carefully plan what to do.
What is the most important thing, if a conflict occurs, how to coordinate, how many responsibilities each department has... none of these things are clearly stated. Now that the minister is out, he cannot collect business taxes, and the shortfall in the national treasury will be replenished.
If you don't, everyone will blame me. In this case, why should I go out? Why not wait here for the courtiers to come in and reunite."
Xu Jingchang, you bastard!
The annual vacation hasn't ended yet, and all the ministers are upset.
Moreover, after merging the power of tax collection, the General Affairs Department has the power of tax collection, and with the addition of private newspapers, it can sit on an equal footing with the Six Ministries Supervisory Office and compete in separate courts.
He took two steps forward quickly, and Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi had already gone out.
Seeing that it was midnight, the midnight watch drum sounded, and according to Zhu Di's instructions, the copper lock as big as an ox's head was opened, and the officials could finally leave the prison and go home quickly.
At this time, he stayed inside, which suddenly made things different.
I'm such a genius.
Good!
We cannot say that courtiers have no conscience, but unfortunately there are not many.
Maybe after the first month of the lunar month, I would have forgotten all the things that I had said and swore before you, and I would have returned to my old ways...
"In this case, send an order to the six ministries and nine ministers, asking them to formulate a specific strategy as soon as possible and submit it as soon as possible. No prevarication is allowed. Anyone who fails to submit it will be thrown into the sky prison immediately!" Zhu Di said fiercely.
The courtiers have been dragged into the water again...Xu Jingchang is really a complete bastard!
So what... It will be on the shelves next Tuesday... I'll save some manuscripts first...
