Xia Yuanji is also a little confused.
It even includes many Hanlins in this palace.
They were originally standing on the commanding heights, criticizing the harm caused by the Railway Department to the Chief Envoy of Jiangxi Province. But who would have thought that here, they suddenly revealed something that Xia Yuanji and the Hanlin officials could not answer, or even dared to answer.
problem.
Xia Yuanji opened his mouth, as if he couldn't find the words for a moment. He paused for a while, then he said bravely: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue... will investigate this matter. It may be that
It involves... Jiangxi's original expansion into Huguang, and..."
Zhu Di was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, and even felt particularly angry at this time. He said sharply: "Then tell me, how many households are there in Jiangxi?"
Xia Yuanji: "..."
Zhu Di said: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You lament the lack of money and food in the treasury every day. Where does this money and food come from? It comes from the soldiers and civilians in Huangce. You cry in front of me every day. Since you are like this
Cherishing money, why is it that there are only over 700,000 registered citizens in Jiangxi, but there are 1.2 million military and civilian households who have defected to the Railway Department alone? Could these extra 500,000 households be conjured out of thin air?
?”
Zhu Di sneered and said: "And these are the people who have defected to the Railway Department, what about those who have not defected to the Railway Department? Furthermore, the Railway Department has not yet penetrated deep into southern Jiangxi, and the people in southern Jiangxi have not yet migrated in large numbers. How many households are there?
?In just one year, the number of people who moved to various railway stations far exceeded the number of registered households in Jiangxi."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Anshi's body trembled slightly, and his face became even more ugly.
The income from the railway, plus taxes, is equal to the entire income of Xiao Ming after the New Deal. After only one year, working to that point is really going to make people feel numb.
All Hanlin: "..."
Seven million taels a year, that's just the result of one year. Even if it continues to be implemented, it will obviously increase on a small scale. Who knows what it will be like in the end.
Zhu Di smiled warmly: "Is that just another chief minister?"
Immediately, I said firmly: "I invite you to go to Java." Someone like Xia Qing is obviously willing to go.
Yuan Ji Zhu Ze said: "I obey the decree."
Zhu Di then said to the officials: "What do you think?"
Only those seven words of cunning, once there is no such definition, it becomes purely a matter of trust.
His support was tantamount to ruining his reputation. To many scholars, he was trying to please the emperor and kill all the seeds of reading in the sky.
Zhu Di took a deep look at Fan Cheng. It was obvious that Zhu Di was also vague. The guy was lucky enough to pass the test, so he just nodded and said: "Gao Xiang didn't have such intention, which is gratifying."
In this way, I will give Gao Xiang some convenience, and I will approve whichever Changshi Mansion Gao Xiang wants to go to."
It's just that... after all, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to conduct an inventory. Therefore, although Zhu Di knew about it, he only thought that there may only be a majority of hidden households, and a very small number of common people should still be registered.
Zhu Di smiled warmly and said, "Do you want to leave then?"
Xia Qing's face was ashen and defeated, and he kowtowed miserably: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... As soon as I know about the matter of Yinhu, I...
···After joining the officialdom······I only read the books of sages·····.”
Zhu Di smiled even hotter, looked at me mockingly and said: "I only read the books of sages and listen to the things outside the window? Is that right? Later, the Qing family also issued a book of ten thousand words, a novel
How come the issue of encouraging students to study in local prefectures and counties has become so familiar with the world in the blink of an eye? Could it be that...
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Yes...it's Zeng..."
But the report from the Railway Department suddenly revealed the fact that the group of hidden households was much smaller than Zhu Di had imagined.
Zhu Di squinted his eyes, walked back and forth for a few steps, and then said, "Who can replace him?" Instead, he talked eloquently about the small tax reduction caused by the Railway Department.
Yuan Ji Zhu said: "In the later days, there were some rumors in the court, saying that it was because of the Railway Department that the Jiangxi Fan Chengshi Department's money and food this year decreased slightly, and the lost tax revenue amounted to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
!”
Xia Qing is the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He is very young. He is naturally strong-willed and energetic on weekdays. He has done many things with his righteous words.
Immediately he took a deep breath, seemed to have summoned up all his courage, and said: "I sincerely request your majesty to allow me to go to sea and move to the residence of the governor of the feudal lord for experience..."
Zhu Di saw that I was still talking, as if his patience was about to run out. At this moment, he raised his lips and smiled warmly, but it was even hotter than before, and said: "Since he already knew it, he has heard and asked questions since he entered the court, until he became a
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue still turns a blind eye to this. He is worried about the country and the people on weekdays, and makes a small comment on Xu Shao's inappropriate behavior. However, he became blind or deaf because of that incident!"
Speaking of which, for the Minister of Household Affairs, such a gentle admonishment can be regarded as heart-breaking words.
Zhu Di's words can be said to be merciful! Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces warmly.
When Zhu Di started talking, Xia Qing turned pale with shock and kowtowed calmly: "I...I have not committed the crime of death, and my corpse is a vegetarian. The so-called eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor,
But it was unexpected that I was so careless about the hidden house. I...I beg you...I beg your Majesty, please allow me...I..."
Logically speaking, I was almost destined to join the dynasty. After all, there are so few Chen Qing envoys in the world, and it can be said that it is rare for someone to become a minister.
Yuan Ji and Zhu didn't expect that Zhu Di would still remember that Gao Xiang.
Zhu Di's tone at this time was quite calm. After hearing this, the officials' faces immediately flashed over An'an's face, and they all bowed to him.
But the hidden house is really related to interests. Even if there is no interest related, once it is played out, I am afraid that the scholars in heaven will be regarded as a national traitor, and they will be completely ruined. Everyone in this small family is a fool, but they dare to do that.
What article to write.
As for the emperor, he cannot tolerate the inaccuracies of his ministers. Even if they are capable, they are not tolerable.
Furthermore, apart from the one million or so households of soldiers and civilians who were left behind, to be honest, only a very small minority are registered in the population, which is tantamount to bringing directly to the imperial court.
The population is astonishing.
In reality, when Yuan Ji Zhu reported that number, the young scholars who had just been shocked by the hidden house problem were now dumbfounded.
Zhu Di said calmly: "This man is good at business. He is recalled to the capital and appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The chief minister will discuss the crime separately and deal with it later."
Zhu Di said enthusiastically: "Yes, now it seems that the problem of the hermit household is so minor. It must be those who took in the hermit household and trampled on your Xiao Ming law. When my grandson was in Jiangxi, he settled in the hermit household.
make
Those people... the damage is great, it must be the result of everyone working together, Jin Yiwei... I want to investigate thoroughly, I want to see who is so cowardly
Baotian!
After hearing this, Xia Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly. Although it was not my wish to go overseas, it was wrong to take the initiative to join the expedition. At most, it would not bring any benefits.
Zhu Di's eyes seemed to burst out with flames. I looked at Zhang Anshi warmly and said, "He may be vague about the situation. I want a specific number. I want him to answer, how small is it?"
Fan Chengyan's heart was filled with despair.
On the other hand, no one is taking any chances. After all, the capital is the core, and once you go to sea, you are really far away. Compared with being in the capital, you may be appreciated, but in the sea, once
After being separated from the center of power, who knows if I will still have my place when I come back.
Today, Xiao Ming's ministry has gone from the traditional eight to the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, for a total of four ministries.
The Hanlin officials were astonished. We had never thought that today we were here to give lectures and teach the emperor a bad lesson. Who knew that that place would actually become our burial place?
Zhang Anshi was stunned. I never expected that Zhu Di would approve my appointment and even asked me about the candidate for the Minister of Household Affairs.
But now, I didn't care about it for the time being, but looked at Fan Chengyan and said: "Zhang Qing, keep playing.
Of course, without Yuan Jizhu's original management skills in Zhili, the emperor's grandson's brilliance may not be conspicuous, but it is enough to attract people's attention.
After saying that, I continued to stare at us warmly. The officers were all trembling, just hanging their heads high, knowing for a moment how to deal with it.
By the fourth time, Zhu Di's face visibly tightened, and he said patiently: "Is everyone going to Java? From now on, the first ones have to go to Java."
Probably because of this, Zhu Di's face became more and more tense, and he said: "I want to ask him, what about down down up up?
How much of the population has been hidden? This is just the case in Jiangxi, but there are not many such hidden households in the whole world?"
Yuan Jizhu smiled and said: "The taxes levied by the Railway Department are all handled according to the imperial court, especially commercial taxes. In that year, a small amount of commercial goods were circulated in Jiangxi, and it was natural...
·In other words, there are too many. When the railways in all prefectures and counties in Jiangxi are connected in the future, it will be even more amazing."
Xu Shaohanlin looked at Fan Cheng in surprise.
Zhu Di saw that all the Hanlin officials were silent with their heads high, but he smiled and said: "They are all talking. How could anyone respond to Zhang Qing's bad advice? It seems like that..."
Did they refuse? Since all the ministers have answered, then... Xia Qing, who is usually the best at talking and the most worried about the country, let him speak."
Therefore, not many Hanlin and Yushi went to sea, but they were planning for the future. Zhu Di said angrily: "Are you mute?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace fell into extreme silence.
I am always Ai Ai, and I obviously know that that time it was a sword thrust when I extended my head, and it was also a sword blow when I shrank my head, so I avoided it no matter what.
Zhu Di continued to speak quickly and leisurely: "Ten thousand deaths? Yes, ten thousand deaths. I have no reliance on you. Even if the chief minister tells me how to do something, I will tolerate it. That's because I think he is a loyal person.
Since he was young, I have been teaching him to be in charge of the household department and entrusting him with all the money bags in the sky. It can be said that he has great trust, but now I know that he does not have such a cunning side."
"But your majesty... lost hundreds of thousands of taels of taxes from Jiangxi Chen Qing's envoy, but gained less than 7 million taels of revenue from the railway department. I'm a bad mathematician.
, but he can also calculate the account clearly and clearly! But in those days, no one took this opportunity to criticize the emperor and grandson, minister...
···I think...there may not be a conspiracy behind it.”
The Hanlin officials were surprised, and they were obviously aware of the potential problems. There had never been a household department in the past, but now the household department has been involved. If the New Deal was adopted, it would be almost...··
"I... I am not guilty of capital punishment. I beg you, Your Majesty. I have not done any hard work. I am willing to resign and become an official..." Zhang Anshi kowtowed and laid his head on the ground. My tone became even more desolate.
Zhu Di himself was so frightened.
With a sarcastic look on his face, Zhu Di continued: "The Ministry of Households is in charge of money and food in the sky. How dare I use such a person..."
Zhang Anshi was so busy that he prostrated himself and said with sincerity and fear: "I will try my best to investigate..." Zhu Di said immediately and stingily: "That's right."
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know."
It is certain that a group of people, every one of them, prays for the people, thinks about the court, and cares about the country and the people, which always affects him.
The Hanlin people in front were complaining one after another. Who would have thought that going to sea, which was like being exiled at the beginning, would now be like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops?
Fan Chengyan: "..."
The rules and regulations were so bad that Zhang Anshi, the Minister of Household Affairs, actually listened and asked questions, and even pretended to know everything.
Zhu Di only felt his teeth were hot.
We have to admire Xia Qing's wisdom in slowing things down. At the beginning, Xie Jin proposed that the young retired soldiers go to the sea to practice, and Zhu Di also approved this.
Zhu Di clasped his hands behind his back and lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he quickly continued: "After you become an official in the court, you should know the situation in each state capital, who is on the register, and what
If a person is a recluse, can he know?"
Moreover, we are all arrogant, speak with impolite manners, and talk about heaven and the common people every day. When he finds out, we only criticize him every day, which is not beneficial to us, but against him.
People like that who cover up things that are beneficial to them will be as ugly as a fool if they come to see us again.
There was a hint of disappointment in Zhu Di's eyes.
For everyone, it is like inner torture. No matter what the choice is, it is to avoid suffering.
However, Zhu Di planned to let the others go, so he said: "Where are the ministers? Come, let's talk one by one, let's talk about the hidden house...Do you still need me to come and roll your name?"
But no one takes this seriously. On the one hand, since we have high status as nobles, no one can do anything if we go. It's a small matter. In the past, we only expected to be granted the title of marquis and the prime minister.
At that point, if he could become an official, it would actually be a very bad ending.
To be honest, we are all fools, no matter how bad they act like loyal ministers on weekdays, making small comments about heavenly things!
That Gao Xiang was Yuan Jizhu's best friend. He followed Yuan Jizhu in implementing the New Deal in Zhili as a young boy. Now he serves as the envoy of Fan Cheng in Henan and is also working hard to implement the New Deal in Henan.
Fan Chengyan then calmed down and said: "Yes... The number of households in the Railway Department has increased by 1.18 million. The taxes levied this year are 8.71 million taels of silver, including commercial taxes."
The least, followed by tea and salt taxes.
But now, I actually invited myself to go to sea.
Listening to the numbers one by one, Zhu Di sighed sincerely: "In just a short period of time, the taxes collected by a Jiangxi railway department have far exceeded the taxes collected by the Jiangxi Fan Cheng Envoy in several years..."
"
We dare to do that.
Among the four ministries, Ji Zhu was originally in charge of the Ministry of Railways, Yang Pu was in charge of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, and if Gao Xiang was in charge of the Ministry of Finance, then almost all the eight ministries in the world that were involved in money and food would be included.
He fell into the hands of hardcore New Dealers like Yuan Ji Zhu, Yang Pu, and Gao Xiang.
The Hanlin guys look at you and you look at him. That name sounds neither strange nor familiar.
No one said: "Please go to Java..."
When a person becomes trustworthy, how can he be hired?
The joy in Zhu Di's heart became more and more intense. I stared at Zhang Anshi. When he saw me holding my head high and speaking silently, he pressed closer and said, "I'm asking him what he wants to say!"
In fact, Zhu Di knew about the issue of hidden households, and I was a fool, so I was naturally vague. There was no such thing as Xiao Ming since the time when Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gao were around.
Yuan Ji Zhu said at that time: "Your Majesty, Gao Xiang is currently the envoy of Chen Qing in Henan."
Zhang Anshi trembled, his face was ashen, but he was stingy and dared to speak out, silently holding his head high, just waiting for the final verdict.
"What do you mean by oversight?" Zhu Di asked rhetorically, and then quickly continued: "If I remember wrongly, the ancestral home of the chief minister is from Dexing Prefecture, Jiangxi, right?"
Because that's really too scary.
Zhu Di became even more angry and said: "Since he knew it, how could he know that the amount of tax lost was not much less?"
Zhang Anshi said in horror: "I...have not committed any oversight."
He agreed that he must have colluded with those who had trampled on the laws of the Xiao Ming Dynasty and secretly sheltered hermits. The laws of the Xiao Ming Dynasty were very tolerant of concealing the population, so it was probably a small crime.
At that time, no one said: "I also invited you to go to Java."
My body trembled consciously, and I kowtowed before saying: "I...is not guilty of ten thousand deaths." But Zhu Di said lightly: "Has this person ever talked about the issue of hiding in a house?"
Zhu Di's mood just now finally dissipated a little, and now he looked very pleased and said: "Zhan Ji has really worked hard."
I am obviously as eloquent today as I was in the future. Xia Qing's face was livid and she was mumbling, but she actually knew how to speak.
Fan Chengyan said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, step back to the right. He is a loyal man and is unfamiliar with ministry affairs..." Everyone dared to speak out.
Just when everyone was worried about safety, who knew that Zhu Di glanced at us and said: "I have listened to the banquet lectures so many times, and the ministers usually talk nonsense and have no advice for me. Why?
The only thing that no one mentioned about the hidden house was that the ministers knew about it, or did they report it instead of knowing about it?"
As he spoke, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no one named Gao Xiang in Zhili. How can he hold any position now?"
Xie Jin, who was standing aside, had a smile on his face, and even his eyes could not help but smile.
