Chen Yan worked hard all day long and continued to arrest people at night. As a result, when he returned to the cabinet the next morning, he was not feeling well.
Zhou Yanru, an old thief, really knows how to pick peaches at the right time. He was arresting people in front of him, and he actually picked the biggest peach. The Governor-General of the Refugee Resettlement Agency, this is the fattest official in the Ming Dynasty, and he actually asked him to recommend it.
The people were seated. The cabinet had been discussing relevant personnel early in the morning, and Zhu Dadian, the preparatory governor, had already rushed over to wait for his face to face that morning. What is this? Sure enough, the people in charge can never keep up with the troublemakers behind the scenes.
.
"Fasheng, I interviewed the saint yesterday. In the future, there will be a major case involving important ministers. You have to give some of our cabinet ministers a little peace of mind, otherwise we will easily deal with it. We have to discuss it with the Ministry of Civil Affairs today.
Regarding the replacement of vacant officials in Shuntian Prefecture, His Majesty asked us to resume the operation of Shuntian Prefecture as soon as possible."
Looking at Zhou Yanru's smiling old face, Chen Yan really wanted to punch him in the face. How can you deal with this idiot? I worked so hard to ransack the house, but it was all a good thing for you!
Zhu Youjian met Zhu Dadian that morning, "Master Zhou should have told Yan Zhi about the position he intends to take up, right? Tell us what you think about this position!"
"Your Majesty, I feel that Yaocao has laid a good foundation for his appointment. If I can take over, I should continue to use his system. If I talk about my intention, it should be to sort out the financial affairs. The money passed by the Civil Affairs Bureau in one year
Money worth millions of taels, and unclear financial affairs will have a huge impact."
Zhou Yanru should have given Zhu Dadian a vaccination, so the old boy was talking about money at first. Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhu Dadian with deep meaning and said: "It is the official's duty to sort out the finances.
It is a major matter for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to reduce expenditures. Every penny spent by the court should be used locally and play a practical role. However, the source of income should not be underestimated. This year, the money allocated by the court is roughly 3.5 million taels.
, the Civil Affairs Bureau made about 1.5 million taels by building fish canning farms, organizing immigrants to fish at sea, and opening mines. The harvest of autumn grain this time is valued at about one million taels, which is enough. Next year, the court will allocate
The maximum amount of the money is two million taels. How to make the Civil Security Bureau prosperous with this little money is a big deal."
The funding will be cut by nearly half? Zhu Dadian was a little bit excited when he heard this. "Your Majesty, the fields to be opened next year can basically be used to grow grain. I feel that the imperial court has allocated a smaller amount of funds and can still support it."
"What I want is not to make ends meet, but to be prosperous. Next year, the Animation Office plus the funds allocated by the court will be able to support at least 8 million taels. The eight million taels will only be 16 taels if divided equally among each refugee.
That’s all, the refugee’s life is barely enough to survive.”
The per capita income is sixteen taels of silver dollars? Isn’t this too much? The emperor’s requirements are a bit high. Zhu Dadian heard others say that the emperor is no longer ambitious, so why does this mean that the old habit has not changed? “Your Majesty, I’m afraid this is
It's a bit difficult. As far as I know, the current field produces three million taels of grain and silver per year. I'm afraid it's over."
"Grain production may not be worth that much money! If we focus on scraping land to make the Civil Affairs Bureau prosperous, it is probably an impossible task. The industry Yaocao started this year, although it is still in its infancy, has already achieved considerable results.
After Yanzhi takes office, he must make more efforts in this area. The refugee agency managed by the Civil Affairs Bureau has a labor force of hundreds of thousands, plus the women and children who can work, the labor force will be nearly 300,000. If these labors are used well, they will definitely be able to
Towards prosperity. Land power is limited, but land power is not the only thing that can be profitable in the world? If an official focuses on people's livelihood matters only on land power, he will be just a landlord. After all, he will not be able to get rid of the idea of small farmers. Ming Dynasty must have transcendence
The academic study of small farmers' thoughts cannot be limited to Confucianism, the landlord and the shackles of small farmers' thoughts."
Why did the emperor go so far while talking? Even the sacred science began to criticize! The sacred science is the thinking of landlords and small farmers? Zhu Dadian has some methods. What kind of weird emperor is he meeting?
Zhu Youjian said with unfinished meaning: "Yanzhi, what I said today has not been heard by other ministers, so you have to listen carefully. I said that Confucianism is the study of landlords and small farmers, probably because it teaches the way to govern the country and human beings.
Get rid of farming affairs. He thinks of running the country as farming and managing the farm. When farming, he must take into account the weather and manpower. He must store grain and save seeds. People must be diligent and prepared for laziness. They must guard against theft. They must let the tenants concentrate on farming and have no other thoughts.
, it is also necessary to open channels and consider water sources, and it is better to be close to the water. It is said that these are enough to consider when running a country. However, the biggest problem in farming is that the weather changes! No matter how diligent the officials and villages are, no matter how diligent the people are! In the event of natural disasters
, helpless. The limitation of Confucianism is that it is difficult to adapt, but the change of nature is the reason! How to adapt? The wider the knowledge, the better the connections, and the smoother the communication, the more adaptable it will be. It is better to take a broad view of the situation and the long-term situation.
The agency is not a local official, but there are people everywhere, which is more conducive to getting rid of the shackles of the landlord's thoughts, and I hope Yan will cherish it."
Zhu Dadian served in many places and held many official positions. The purpose of Zhu Youjian's words was naturally to hope that he would know better ways to adapt, get rid of the old bureaucratic thinking, and be more effective in the future. Zhou Yanru and others
People can be used for another three or four years at most. After three or four years, the new bureaucrats may not be qualified to become central personnel, so they have to make plans and arrangements for the replacement of central agencies in advance. It doesn’t matter if they are older when the central agencies are formed in the future.
, but the thinking must be new. What is the core of the new thinking? It is just expansion and adaptation.
After talking with Zhu Dadian, the next step is to wait for Ma Shiying, who is also one of the leaders of the transitional central agency that Zhu Youjian is relatively optimistic about.
As a result, this guy didn't arrive until the next night! He was in Tianjin, and a fast horse was sent to summon him the afternoon before yesterday. The railway from Tianjin to Tongzhou was also opened. There was no reason for him to take such a long time to arrive.
!
"Yao Cao, what delayed you when you came here?"
"Your Majesty, I was fine on the way. It's just that when I entered the city, I was stuck in a traffic jam for a long time, so I arrived late."
Traffic jam? When Zhu Youjian heard this, he thought there was something wrong with his ears. "Yao Cao, what you said was that the time was wasted because of the traffic jam!"
"Exactly! On the main street of the capital in the afternoon, a horse was frightened and trampled someone. The victims were quarreling there, and there were many people watching. As a result, the whole road was blocked, and the blockage became more and more serious. Until the evening, people
You have to disperse to eat before you can pass."
In an era without cars, a major traffic jam actually occurred in the capital. Zhu Youjian was a little surprised when he heard this. "Yao Cao, do traffic jams in the capital happen occasionally? Or do they happen often?"
"Since this year, traffic jams have occurred frequently. Nowadays, the capital is mostly filled with horse-drawn carriages, and there are fewer and fewer people riding in sedan chairs. Congestion is a common occurrence!" Ma Shiying was a little confused, why was the emperor so concerned about traffic jams? He was thinking in his own words
