Seeing that Yang Jing just smiled, Hou Yong was a little angry, "Just say what you want to say, why bother to beat around the bush? You, Yang Zhongning, have learned this trick now!"
"No, no!" Yang Jing said with a smile, "I can impeach them myself. I am the Supervisor and Censor, and you are the Minister of Staff. If you impeach them, aren't you meddling in their own business?"
As he said that, he paused and his expression became serious, "I have something going on and I need Jing's help!"
Hou Yong looked solemn and said, "Come and listen!"
"Beijing is rich and powerful, which can be seen from the Taibai Tower alone." Yang Jing said, "For example, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Zheng Guogong Chang Sheng and others, in their eyes, this is a low-level business, and they have the real business in their hands.
Cornucopia and treasure chest!”
As he spoke, he looked into Hou Yong's eyes and said, "A province of salt, iron, tea, cloth, medicine, sugar, forests, mines, and hunting grounds!"
Hou Yong was shocked, "How come something that is a national monopoly is in your hands? Which province?"
Yang Jing whispered, "Yunnan! When His Majesty was still the grandson of the emperor, in order to take over the land and tenants from the nobles, and the border of Yunnan was not very stable, he allowed these nobles to exclusively specialize in these businesses." As he spoke, he smiled.
Laughing, "After a few years, they have become as rich as anyone else!"
Hou Yong thought for a moment, "Does this have anything to do with what you want me to help you with?"
"Specializing in these businesses requires the use of people. Over the past few years, many officials in Yunnan have..."
"What you mean is that I am now the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. During the performance review..."
It is true that Hou Yong is an upright official, but he is by no means stupid. A stupid person, not to mention a third-grade official, might not be able to be a seventh-grade official, nor can he be a good one.
Yang Jing smiled slightly and said nothing.
"I'm afraid this won't work!" Hou Yong continued, "I have the power to evaluate officials, but I can't use it for public purposes. As long as those officials make no mistakes, I can't deliberately suppress them! I know what Zhong means is nothing more than performance evaluation.
, transfer them elsewhere. But, I really can’t help!"
"That's not what I meant!" Yang Jing smiled slightly, "What does it have to do with me that the nobles are doing exclusive business? It's not like they took my money to get rich!" He tapped his fingers on the table, "They are the chief ministers of Yunnan.
Let Zhang Yan and Duke Qian give the emperor some advice!"
Hou Yong's pupils narrowed and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Zhang Qian is about to enter Beijing. Mr. Fu from the Ministry of Revenue is getting old and lacks energy. He needs to find someone to share the burden!" Yang Jing continued, "The Duke of Guizhou said that all the Burmese chieftains in Yunnan have surrendered, and the border is becoming more stable.
.And over the years, through Zhucheng’s immigration and other things such as farming, Yunnan’s state capitals have taken on some shape. Now these businesses that are supposed to be government affairs must be taken back from the hands of nobles!"
Hou Yong thought, a little puzzled, "In this case, wouldn't it be enough for the emperor to directly issue an edict?"
Yang Jing smiled bitterly, "How can it be so simple? How can it be so easy to take back what you have given? Although the emperor did not promise them that they could do these businesses forever, after years of operation, these businesses have become a solid foundation in Yunnan.
Like a barrel!"
"On the surface, it seems to be handed back, but secretly they will definitely continue to do it. Will the emperor kill me when the time comes? Kill him, the emperor made a mistake first. If he doesn't kill him, where will the court's face be?"
"Besides, those old military leaders have long since stopped caring about the military and are enjoying their old age at home. What they care about most is having children and checking their money!"
"I understand!" Hou Yong said, "It means that I, the Minister of Civil Affairs, use official assessment to demote or transfer officials in Yunnan who are close to the nobles. The imperial court selects new officials.
Naturally, their business will not be successful!"
"Well, that's the truth!" Yang Jing said with a smile, "The new officials don't buy their faults. They make things difficult for them, seize the goods, or directly submit memorials and quarrel with the nobles. Anyway, it's just a bottleneck, and they will be stuck for a year and a half.
How do you do the business of carrying them?”
"When the time comes for Yunnan to open up these trades, they will either be government-run or sell salt and tea. In any case, they will choose those merchants controlled by the government to do business. The nobles sell and buy exclusively, and they have the final say on how much they buy and sell.
No taxes!”
"If their monopoly is taken back, Yunnan will be able to be self-sufficient in terms of taxes and money, and people's livelihood will be prosperous without the need for government funding!"
Speaking of this, Yang Jing smiled slightly, "You are here to make a mark on the assessment, and the Inspectorate over there is going to make trouble for them! Your Majesty, Weiwei... won't this matter be done?
!”
Hou Yong couldn't help but nod, "If it's for the livelihood and economy of a province, it's not like I can't help you as a favor!"
"Jing, even though others say you are honest and honest, you are smarter than anyone else!" Yang Jing laughed and scolded, "This is not a favor to me! I don't have such a big reputation. If I owe you this favor, what will happen to me?"
Even if you die, you won't be able to bear it!" He said, pointing his finger down on his head, "This is what it means above!" Then he added, "Otherwise, how could I chase you to your home!"
Hou Yong smiled, already having calculations and plans in his mind.
Those who can achieve this position are all talented people. They can outline a rough plan with just a little thought. The Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of the evaluation of officials all over the world, wants to put some stamps on someone's resume. Isn't that simple?
"The assessment here is easy. Those people who are close to the nobles must have flaws. But how do you impeach?" Hou Yong asked, "You can't impeach for no reason! I heard that those old military leaders
You guys really like to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself in front of the emperor!"
"Here!" Yang Jing knocked on the table, "Isn't this the introduction?" He said in a low voice, "The emperor's relatives compete with the people for profit, and doing business in private is against officialdom. Is it a crime?"
"Use this as a lead, then lead the nobles to live a luxurious life, then lead them to make money every day, and then lead them to Yunnan. Just lead the fire to Yunnan, to the Duke of Guizhou, and to Zhang Yan's side to get a few more discounts
, pick out a few unlucky officials who take care of the nobles’ business. This set of king’s fists can’t beat those old Qiu to death!”
"These imperial officials are still very sophisticated in their evil thoughts and tricks!" Hou Yong agreed on the face, but secretly said in his heart, "I'm afraid that those nobles will be beaten down by an old punch, and in the end they still don't know where they went wrong? And one day
The Queen’s family has been impeached since the beginning. These nobles want to maintain their identity, but they have to think twice about it!”
Seeing Yang Jing talking incessantly, Hou Yong continued to think to himself, "In the future, in the capital, you must be more careful in what you say and do. Otherwise, if you are betrayed, you won't even know who sold it. Even if it is this matter, there is no one from the emperor."
Instruction. The three parties of the Supervisory Yuan, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Chief Secretary of Yunnan are enough for others to drink from a pot!"
Thinking of this, Hou Yong looked at Yang Jing again, "These censors are so damn shady!"
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Jing asked again.
"I'm thinking, you are so damn bad!" Hou Yong whispered, "Here you are eating for free, and then you turn around and set traps for others!"
"What are you eating for free?" Yang Jing said displeased.
“If you don’t pay me, you’ll eat for free!”
"Why should I pay for the inscription?"
"If you impeach someone in the future, will you still have the nerve to come and eat?"
"Eating is a meal, and impeachment is an impeachment! My impeachment of him is a government matter, and coming here to eat is a private matter. Public and private affairs cannot be confused. Besides, he promised me that he could come at any time without spending any money. What he promised me,
What am I embarrassed about? If he doesn't allow me to come, it should be because he is embarrassed."
Seeing Yang Jing speaking seriously, Hou Yong couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
After looking at the other person for a long time, he said, "Now I finally know why you were able to stay in Beijing when I sent you abroad, and why you have become so prosperous in recent years!" After saying that, he nodded at the other person, "You are too thick-skinned!"
"What kind of face does it take to be an official? Just a hat is enough!" Yang Jing laughed at himself.
At this time, the door was pushed open again.
Several beauties in gauze came in with two bowls of lard rice and two plates of pickled vegetables and placed them on the table.
"This needs to be done while it's hot!" Yang Jing said with a smile.
Hou Yong looked at the other party picking up his rice bowl and said with a smile, "Don't you want to eat the three delicacies of the Yangtze River?"
"That thing actually doesn't suit my stomach, but it's still so affordable!"
"If you don't like it, why don't you order more?" Hou Yong couldn't laugh or cry.
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Anyway, it's free. If you don't order, it's free!"
