Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven?? Eight Things in the Di Bao
At this time, Uncle Kaicheng Bianxue walked into the Zhengde Hall from the outside. Although Bianxue was one of the elders of the Senate, the elders did not need to participate in the morning court, so Bianxue had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Zhang Kuan, Zhang Kuan
Kuan also saw him, the two bowed to each other, and Zhang Kuan said: "In the future, the court will need Mr. Bian to take more responsibility, so as not to cause public resentment."
Seeing the provocation in the other party's words, Bian Wen also said unceremoniously: "I still need more reminders from my uncle. I have little talent and little knowledge. I will embarrass myself in a big task. I will embarrass myself in a big task."
Zhang Kuan sneered and said: "I didn't expect that one day you would be the left prime minister. If I had known this, I should have exposed you to more memorials."
Bian Wen asked: "Uncle, are you afraid that I won't be able to handle it?"
Zhang Kuan said: "I'm not afraid, I'm sure."
Bian Wen said: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, I am the left prime minister now, and you are just an idle veteran. Don't you think so?"
Zhang Kuan snorted coldly, turned and left, while Bian Wen walked into the hall with a victor's smile and became the "head of a hundred officials". Of course, this head of a hundred officials is somewhat unworthy of the name, because everyone knows that the real leader of a hundred officials
The first is the young central commander.
Bian Xue Shang came forward and said: "I have a request. Your Majesty originally planned to enthrone King Zhao as the crown prince on the second day of February. However, there was a sudden rebellion by King Jin and a fire broke out in the palace, causing heavy losses. Even the Queen Mother was killed in the fire.
The reason is that the King of Jin's eyes
I was dissatisfied when I saw His Majesty appointing King Zhao as the Crown Prince, and even made crazy moves like poisoning the King of Chu and entering the palace to rebel. I believe that the ceremony to confer King Zhao as the Crown Prince should be held immediately, and the principle of speed and simplicity should be followed.
, Stabilize the national system.”
Hu Ting, the Minister of Rites, asked: "What day is the left prime minister?"
Bian Xuedao said: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the Lantern Festival, a day when people all over the world are celebrating. It is the auspicious time for the prince's ceremony. I, the holy man, have double happiness. Isn't it wonderful?"
Hu Ting said: "Although it was a bit rushed, the Ministry of Rites completed it as much as possible." He then turned around and asked: "Your Majesty, Central Command, do you have any other opinions?"
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "You are the elders, the younger ministers dare not make any sense. Your Majesty, I am the central command, but it is because of my loyalty and bravery, not my ability to handle the government affairs. Therefore, in the future, the junior ministers will still be responsible for handling the government affairs.
I would like to consult other central governors and senior officials to discuss state affairs together and wait for His Majesty to recover."
On the tenth day of the first month of the third year of Dade’s reign, the imperial court’s first Di newspaper spread throughout the country, announcing roughly eight things:
The first thing was that the King of Jin conspired with the ministers to rebel and entered the palace. They were resisted by the crown prince's Shaobao Zhang Xiaowu. Then Zhang Xiaowu led his troops to quell the rebellion and killed most of the rebels. Now a fugitive order was issued, and all the prefectures and counties
The town needs to work together to track down the whereabouts of the traitors of the King of Jin.
The second thing happened, Zhang Kuan, the left prime minister, retired and returned to his hometown. Kaicheng Bo learned from his studies and became the left prime minister, taking charge of all officials in the world.
The third thing is that the imperial court established a central government office to assist the emperor in managing the empire's military and political affairs, and Zhang Xiaowu was appointed central office.
The fourth thing is that the crown prince ceremony will be held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. King Zhao Xuanyuan Chenghua will become the crown prince, also known as the crown prince.
The fifth thing is that the emperor was injured due to rebelling against a bandit. He searched for good doctors from all over the world to treat the emperor. If there is a doctor who can treat the emperor's serious illness, he will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred thousand taels and be made a marquis.
The sixth thing is that due to the boiling public dissatisfaction, the reform of the tax law was postponed, the land that had been inventoried was registered, and the land that was not inventoried was kept.
The seventh thing is to confiscate all the property of the rebels of the Jin Dynasty, including people, livestock, property, houses, mines, businesses, fields, etc., and return everything to the state.
The eighth thing is that due to the impact of the plague, grain harvests in various parts of the Holy Han Empire were poor. Therefore, all land and agricultural taxes were exempted in the third year of Dade, and taxation was restored in the fourth year of Dade.
These eight events affected the entire Holy Han Empire and gave the people hope in their hard lives, especially in the severely affected areas in the north. For the people in the south of the Yangtze River, they were even more grateful, as they were plunged into dire straits of war.
, I learned the news that I will not receive food next year, and I have hope for life.
The reason why Zhang Xiaowu dared to be exempted from land tax and agricultural tax next year was because he received a lot of goods during this operation to arrest the rebels. Due to the supervision of the silver guards, there were eighty officials involved in the whole case.
As a result, countless properties were confiscated, including 7.3 million taels of silver, 800,000 acres of land, and countless other gold, silver, antiques, and extravagant items.
Zhang Xiaowu finally understood why the imperial court was so poor. It was because all the money was in the hands of the ministers. The officials were rich but the country was weak. How could the Holy Han Empire not be in trouble? He suddenly felt that the Holy Han Empire was a bit like the Ming Dynasty.
During the Chongzhen period, the officials of the imperial court had a lot of wealth, but they did not want to spend a penny to give to the emperor.
The emperor used it, so that Emperor Chongzhen continued to increase wages and taxes, and eventually the world was in chaos and rebels were everywhere, which also led to the complete destruction of the Ming Dynasty. In the north, there were only 800,000 people, and the Eight Banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han were collected from 14 to 50 years old.
In the meantime, all the men gathered together an army of 180,000 Hou Jin, and they actually destroyed the Ming Empire in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Emperor Dade was not Chongzhen. He was not self-willed, nor was he deceived by the civil servants below. He chose to believe in Zhang Xiaowu, and it was precisely because he believed in Zhang Xiaowu that he was lucky enough to survive. And Zhang Xiaowu was also a resolute man.
The reason why he persisted in tracking down the rebels was not because he really wanted to find the murderer. He simply wanted to confiscate the property of these eighty officials.
7.3 million taels of silver were enough for the court to use for three years.
Another reason why Zhang Xiaowu was confident that he would not need to collect land tax or agricultural tax was that he would encourage business and manage the development of commerce. Commercial tax would be far more generous than agricultural tax.
Right Prime Minister Xiang Rui was disliked by the nobles for proposing the tax law reform on behalf of Emperor Da De. Fortunately, the reform was postponed, and his next task was to encourage business and introduce various policies that were beneficial to merchants.
Start to get busy.
Although the emperor could not handle political affairs, the seven people in the central government maintained the political situation of the court very well, and their efficiency was even far greater than that of Emperor Dade. The wisdom of the seven people was naturally greater than that of Emperor Dade alone, and these seven people
They are the seven smartest people in the world. Of course, among these seven people, Dushan Boye Xiangdong is still in Jiangnan, and Zhang Xiaowu immediately sent his confidant Ruan Qingwen as an envoy, bringing his letter and five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Bounty, rushed to Yuezhou.
Finally, on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xiaowu left the palace for the first time and returned home to rest.
He was "rested". Under the urging of Wang Yijin and others, Zhang Xiaowu had to go home to rest for the night. Although he didn't really want to go home and rest, he also knew that everyone was giving him good-faith advice.
, and then returned home, Hejian Marquis Mansion, in the evening.
