Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Qi You's face. Everyone knew that the conflict between Qi You and Ji Zhong had been existing in the past few years. Ji Zhong had always wanted to bring the Salt and Iron Department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

However, Qi You has always held the real power of the Salt and Iron Division, even the annual salt classes and the collection of money. The Salt and Iron Division has its own accounts and warehouses.

Although on the surface the Salt and Iron Department is under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs, in fact, the Salt and Iron Department is Qi You's private yamen. How can Zhong Zhong be comfortable?

In addition, Qi You and Shouning Hou colluded with each other. Zhong Zhong looked at Qi You as if he were a class enemy. He wanted to kill Qi You for a long time.

On the other hand, the same goes for Qi You. In Qi You's eyes, Ji Zhong is an example of a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He typically occupies the latrine and does not shit. People like Ji Zhong should be swept out as soon as possible and then be removed.

Give the seat to yourself. Under such circumstances, the conflict between the two people is naturally irreconcilable.

It's just that the cabinet and His Majesty were suppressing it before, so the contradictions and conflicts between the two people didn't completely break out, but this time it was considered a complete breakout.

As Qi You stood up, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. Everyone knew that this was not just a problem between Qi You and Ji Zhong, nor a confrontation between Qi You and Ji Zhong, but between two groups.

This confrontation will directly determine who will be in power in the court in the future and which policy will be implemented in the court in the future. The level of the problem will suddenly be raised.

If it is just Dai Heng's opinion, and if His Majesty disagrees, then it is just an ordinary memorial with no influence and will soon fall into obscurity.

Now Qi You has come forward. Obviously, this is Xungui Group pushing Dai Heng's reforms again. The civil servants are not stupid. I didn't expect it just now. In fact, now I have come to think of it. Once the staff office is established, will it be necessary?

Do you want to leave a place for the nobles? Can you get around them regarding military matters? Obviously you can't get around them!

If a staff office is established, it means that the nobles have returned to the center of power. This is something that many people do not want to see. How much effort has been spent over the years to drive them out, how can they be allowed back so easily?

Of course, some people didn't care, but thought this was an opportunity. Although no one spoke in the court, the court was secretly divided, and everyone had their own plans.

"Your Majesty, I think the lack of money and food is an excuse. The imperial court is affected by the Tatar captivity in northern Xinjiang every year. How many people die in battle every year? How many people of the Ming Dynasty are captured? Is it because of money and food that they are ignored?

They are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty!" Qi You's words were resounding, and they were directly from the perspective of righteousness.

"The imperial court has no money, but it can raise money, increase revenue, and reduce expenditure. I believe that before the military system is reformed, it can be raised."

Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning, what is this? This is the general, Qi You's words made Zhong Zhong passive.

If you can't raise money, it's because you are not good enough. You are not qualified as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Under such circumstances, you should abdicate in favor of someone better. Stop looking for excuses here. You go down and I will come. See if I can raise the money.

Can you get the money? In this case, Ji Zhong can either agree and let me raise the money, or admit that he can't do it and get out as soon as possible.

The hall suddenly became quiet. No one expected that Qi You would act so decisively and desperately this time. The current situation is that if Qi You can't stop, Qi You will go down. He will not be dismissed from office, but

He will definitely not be able to escape if he is released outside. With what Qi You has done, there will probably be no good results after he is released outside.

"Master Qi, are you thinking too simply?" At this time, another very rude voice sounded.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Han Wen, the right minister of Hube, who stood up. Obviously this was Hube's counterattack.

Qi You's popularity in the household department was not good. Firstly, it was because he followed Shouning Hou Zhang Heling and everyone looked down on him. Another reason was because he held the Salt and Iron Department, which was a fat job. Who wouldn't want to join?

A kick? The most important point is that Qi You is now eyeing the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. How many people in the imperial court are eyeing this seat?

If Qi You is defeated, then everyone will have a chance. This is the consensus of everyone, so Han Wen also stood up at this time.

Han Wen, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, knew very well that if he really allowed Qi You to rise to power, he would never get any good results from himself.

"The imperial court is tight on money and food. This is not something that happens in a day or two. In recent years, thanks to the salt class and the subscription of silver, it has become a little more comfortable. However, the imperial court has more places to use silver." Han Wen's tone was also very unpleasant.

Politely: "How can we not use money to build water conservancy projects or provide disaster relief? Most of it has been given to the Black Dragon Army in the past few years. Do we want to keep occupying it for a few more years?"

"What about other directions? What about disaster relief? Are river dredging and dam renovation not done?"

"As for the open source of income, how to open it? Let the court compete with the people for profits? Or increase taxes? The burden on the people is already heavy enough. If we still compete with the people for profits and increase taxes, how will the people live? Do we have to have wars and wars everywhere?

Only adults are satisfied? The northern Xinjiang Tatars cannot capture a small problem, so why should they ignore the Ming Dynasty and the country because of this small problem?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Han Wen with admiration in his heart. He was really amazing. He could talk about everything in a high-sounding way. Fighting for the benefit of the people was really a useful big bag, and everything could be put in it.

In fact, Qi You stood up and was so upfront. Zhu Houzhao did not expect it, but he was very pleased and admired Qi You even more. As a younger brother, an imperial eagle dog, if you don't dare to attack or bite someone, then what?

What's the use of you? You have to do it when it's time to do it. If it succeeds, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. If you fail, you won't lose the benefits. Maybe it can be used again in a few years.

"Only incompetent people would think of raising taxes and competing with the people for profit." Qi You glanced at Han Wen with disdain, his tone full of ridicule.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Qi You, "Good guy, this is cruel enough. He directly labeled Han Wen as incompetent as a zombie. Zhu Houzhao finally saw it today. These civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were really cruel when they quarreled, and they heard that

It seemed that everything everyone said made sense, and he was simply a talkative man, but Zhu Houzhao still looked like he was still there.

"What's the use of talking without practicing? If Mr. Qi has an idea, then say it. You can only ridicule others by yourself, which is not what a gentleman does." Han Wen was not a vegetarian either, and retorted directly: "There are plans for the country.
