Chapter 48 The world is like chess (2)
In Lezhizhai, Zhu Yunyu sat on the bright yellow throne, and Zhang Yu sat on the round pier. There was also a square table in front of him, with a few snacks and a cup of strong tea on it.
"You are extremely tired all the way. You should have stayed and rested for a few days before summoning you to ask about things, but what you said just now coincides with what I am in my mind, so I caught you temporarily
"Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Come on, you, I, the king and the ministers, don't be polite in private, eat some snacks to cushion!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng felt no more grateful. The emperor obviously did not treat him as an outsider, and it was even more polite to be a wise man.
He is a traditional scholar, who believes that the king of the country, the king of the country, and the ruler of the country is the leader of his ministers. He has been diligent and loyal to the king for many years. At this time, seeing the emperor treat him so politely, he suddenly felt a little lucky to be a wise king in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhu Yunxiu smiled and stood up, pushed the snacks in front of him, and said, "You know that if you give you a banquet, it will be too troublesome to have another meal, and all you eat is Guanglu Temple.
The warm-hearted meals of those black-hearted chefs.”
"Although these snacks are not a regular meal, they have a unique taste, and they are easy to melt and will not make you feel a little bit bigger." Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu suddenly laughed again, "Look, this tea is Pu'er you tribute to me in Yunnan.
Today, I will use Yunnan tea to greet you with the Yunnan Provincial Administration, which is exactly what each other is complementary.”
"My memory..." Zhang Feng choked for a moment and couldn't speak. He picked up a small piece of snack in his hands and ate it in front of Zhu Yunfeng's face.
The candles in the hall were brightly lit, and tears flashed in the corners of Zhang Yu's eyes.
If a minister receives such courtesy, what else can a husband seek?
"You have done well in Yunnan over the years. If the Ministry of Revenue really has no suitable person, I will not transfer you back! Come on, try this milk skin cake. This is the prescription from the palace in the previous dynasty, which is rare among the people.
See you at first sight.”
In fact, it is not that there is no suitable candidate to serve as the Minister of Revenue in the Court, but that Zhu Yunyu is unwilling to do so. There is a hidden rule in the court, that is, the ministers all follow the steps and have mixed experiences, thinking that when they get older, they will naturally be promoted.
.
Zhu Yunyu first transferred Hou Yong to Beijing, and then transferred Zhang Yu to let the ministers know that the emperor's subordinates had no qualifications. If you can do it, you can go. If you can't, you can stand still.
Moreover, what Zhu Yunyu wanted was a hard-working minister. These officials who had been practicing in the local area for many years were good helpers who could help him to eliminate his shortcomings in the future.
This is also the meaning of the emperor and the minister.
"Emperor, I......" Zhang Feng could no longer speak when he saw Zhu Yunsheng like this.
"Eat slowly!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and leaned on the throne. "You deserve this. I have always remembered your contributions in Yunnan for years."
"In addition to these obvious things, you have implemented the Han law in Yunnan. Whether it is funeral rituals, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Han rituals are the first, so that they can change customs and customs for thousands of years!"
Zhang Feng looked solemn, but he was very excited by the emperor's praise. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I dare not be the emperor's so ridiculous praise, it is all my duty!"
"You don't have to be humble!" Zhu Yunsheng waved his hand, and an eunuch next to him helped Zhang Sheng up, "What's the matter with your duties? Oh, there are more than a thousand officials in the world? I'm afraid there are very few people who can do their duties well."
As he said that, he continued to ask, "You are about to be promoted to the position of the Ministry of Revenue Jingtang and Yunnan Provincial Administration. I want to be in the local area of Yunnan. Can anyone choose?"
"How can I have the official to speak in the border officials!" Zhang Yan said solemnly, "But the emperor asked, but I dare not refuse to answer. Han Yike, the deputy governor of Yunnan, is a straight and honest person, and is well-behaved in the world."
Hearing this name, Zhu Yunhuang nodded slightly.
Some ministers of the Ministry of Revenue are rushed to do it, while in the remote places in Yunnan, even if they are officials and court officials, they will hide.
Han Yike was originally the censor of the old man. When Hu Weiyong was the most arrogant in his early years, he, Censor Han, dared to write a letter to impeach him. He was honest and frugal, and he was a real honest official.
Later, he offended too many powerful people and was demoted to Yunnan as an official.
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxiu said lightly, "The southwestern border area of Yunnan needs such a clean and upright official. He is simple and upright, and takes the people as his responsibility, and can restrain officials and set an example for his rule." As he said that, suddenly,
He smiled bitterly, "Did you find that the poorer the world, the more corrupt officials there are in the remote places. On the contrary, the more prosperous and rich the place there are, there are no corrupt officials. Even if you do something extraordinary, you can stop it."
Zhang Feng couldn't answer this or answer. He took over as Minister of Revenue, not Minister of Personnel, nor Minister of Justice, nor the Censorate.
"Look at me, I will say it's far away when I am happy." Zhu Yunxiu changed into a comfortable position, half lying down without a king's image, and smiled, "You just told me on the road that the merchants would exchange money with tickets, is it
What's the charter?"
At this time, the king and his ministers were intent on asking the right thing, Zhang Ju hurriedly stood up and said with a stern look, "I think it is better to have a good reputation than the court to pay the silver and military pay first, such as a 100,000 army spending a million military pay,
Then five or six businessmen with strong families will advance payment first.”
"Soldiers or families in the army can take their commercial tickets and go to the merchant to exchange for money. In this way, the court does not have to pay first, nor does it need to..." As he said that, he paused, "No need to do more."
Give money!”
"You don't even have to pay!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a secret smile in his heart.
"The army went on an expedition to allow these guaranteed merchants to accompany the army. The food and drink cost of the army is not just food and grass. There are places where money is made everywhere. They can make a fortune. Then they use tea, silver, salt, silver and other notes to replace them.
The salary paid for." Zhang Jue continued.
This is the government’s goal of making money without paying money. There are many such things in history, and merchants are still happy with huge profits.
"What if the silver notes they gave to the soldiers can't be exchanged?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "or they deliberately delayed."
Zhang Feng smiled slightly, "The businessman is not stupid, and he is not afraid of being destroyed by those Aoqiu Ba. You can try it!"
As he said that, he continued to look at Zhu Yunxi's face, "In the 28th year of Hongwu, the Baoheng, Yunnan, was three days late for the ward to exchange silver for the ward. As a result, thousands of households in the ward led people to the caravan.
All ten people were killed."
The Ming border army was so rebellious and cruel. Not to mention that the founding of the country was only 30 years ago, and the people who killed merchants were killed. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, when the civil and nobles and martial arts were inferior to civil servants, they were all over the border areas.
Because of the riots, the army often tied up high-ranking officials such as the censors and political leaders to death.
"You said this method has actually been used in various places since its founding." Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment, "In the short term, it is indeed a good thing to win three goals. If we use military forces in Myanmar in the past two years, it will be useful."
"But after all, it is a temporary stopgap. When the merchants are profitable, they are naturally willing to do so, but in the ordinary season, merchants are afraid of the army."
"Then the Ming Dynasty has more than one million soldiers, and its territory is more than one place in Yunnan."
