Literature and History Data Chapter 755: There are many autumn waters in the rivers and lakes (Part (1/2)
Lin Run was originally talking to say something, but seeing that he was silent, he had to mention it without even mentioning it, and said softly:
Then let’s do it. What happened to the same year in the future depends on your words to take care of me.
Nodded silently, and said in a tone: I. But I stopped again and changed my words:
Take care.
Don't do this, Lin Run's smile warms the hearts like spring, and says:
I know your thoughts. You have big plans. If you want to do big things, you have to endure ordinary people and not to endure them. Sooner or later, the world will know.
You are a real hero.
When I heard this silent, my eyes almost turned red. I quickly turned my head and said with a dull voice:
If you want to walk, leave, don’t be here and make people feel unhappy.
Haha—Lin Run laughed loudly, you must have been called.
Why don't you leave quickly? - Silent picked up the water scoop and made a gesture to splash. Lin Run retreated with a chuckle.
Looking at his suddenly disappearing back, he was silent on his face that had not smiled for a long time,
Finally a smile appeared, and gently threw the scoop back into the bucket, and said softly:
This guy is always so annoying.
Time passed day by day, and the twelfth lunar month was approaching in a blink of an eye. This winter in Beijing was surprisingly cold again, but it was far less chilling than what happened in Beijing.
The Yuzhitan, which was highly anticipated by Emperor Jiajing, did not stop working due to the clever obstacles of silence, but just to avoid the dragon
The risk of pulse damage. Jiajing’s king? Let’s go to the outer city to choose a place. The outer city was built when Yan Song was in power, and will be restored.
Is it a hindrance?
In this way, Chen Siqi tries hard to find his efforts pale and powerless, although
The houses in the four alleys he kept were in trouble because of this.
The only thing that can masturbate is that it is said that the compensation for this time is enough 100 taels. However, I thought of allocating the money from the Ministry of Revenue, and finally
I have to transfer the hand to the people several times, and in the end half of it will flow to the people, so thank God.
However, this has always happened in China, so there is no need to be a surprise. The people should be more grateful for their own lives at the foot of the emperor.
At least half of it, right?
Because the emperor was urging him tightly, Xu Jie took charge of the leadership himself, and the Ministry of Works has stepped up the work and mobilized everything
We hope to complete the work as scheduled, but although the Ming Dynasty did not lack people, the money was very tight. Fortunately, at this time, the tax silver of the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Department solved it and finally solved the urgent problem.
But as the years approach, officials from all departments are watching the budget.
The adults are not stupid, knowing that at this time, they are brave and timid, who will first
Who is the one who gets it? So I simply stop going to my own yamen and sit in the Ministry of Revenue all day long.
I asked to approve my own share first.
The Minister of Revenue Gao Yao is a good man who no one wants to offend. Who are you going to give me?
If he didn't give it to anyone, how to make a difference, he didn't dare to make this idea, so he had to kick the ball into the cabinet.
Please give me the advice.
In fact, this matter is very important, and Xu Jie didn't let Gao Yao make any decision at all, so he responded.
He ordered him to summon several ministries to meet with Wuyi Palace.
The chief minister summoned him, and the rich man urged him tightly. After receiving the oral order, several officials hurriedly sat on the sedan chair.
Come to Xiyuan. It is almost a matter of the five departments of the five departments of official positions, including officials, households, soldiers, craftsmen, and rituals.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice was all here--except Huang Guangsheng, the Secretary of Justice, the six ministries were all here.
The people in the cabinet were also surprised. They thought Xiaoman had made a plan, that is, the four ministers, so
I only prepared four chairs with red sandalwood cushions. Now there is one more, so I quickly went to the next door to find a seat cushion.
A temporary seat was added.
When everyone was here, Si Zhilang went to invite Yuan Fu, Xu Jie turned out from behind, and five people were wearing them.
Lord Shangshu, who was in the first and second grade official uniforms, saluted the chief minister together, but his eyes were staring at the stack of memorials in his hand, and he wanted to hold the old man and sign his own with his hand.
It was only a few steps from the door to the middle of the case. Xu Jie took every step in a long way, as if he had walked for a long time before he arrived. He sat down silently and put the stack of tickets on the case seriously - obviously he regarded this cabinet meeting as an annual spoils-sharing meeting.
But Xu Jie's face was not as relaxed as he received the goods. He walked heavily to the big case and sat down. His movements were so slow that it made people feel a little uneasy. Seeing this, Xu Chai squeezed out a smile on his face and said to everyone: Let's go ahead-
As he said that, he smiled at Gao Gong and said: Why is Gaobutang coming too? Could it be that the Ministry of Rites also has projects that require expenses?
That wasn't there. Gao Gong was still straightforward, as if Xu Jie had all fallen into the air through Zhang Juzheng's kindness: the lower officials are here to ask for salary.
Oh,——Xu Jie nodded slowly, without saying anything. Lei Li, the Minister of Works, said: It’s still some time before paying his salary, so don’t be so anxious, right?
This is also forced, Gao Gong snorted: Of course you are not in a hurry, but this
The ministry is a cold yamen, unlike your hall, where there are endless burning incense and worshiping Buddha during festivals.
We have a hundred or so people who live on their hard salary.
As he said that, he smiled at Xu Jie and said: Besides, there are few people in the Ministry of Rites, and the officials are not greedy, so don't let them go.
The accumulated amounts of debts over the years are all made up, so I only need to pay enough for this year. There are less than 14,000 yuan in total.
Please be a good teacher, please send this mosquito leg first.
Lei Li was amused by him and said with a smile: Ten thousand taels are considered mosquito legs, so is this mosquito legs thick
Ruxiang? It caused everyone to laugh. Xu Jie waved his hand to stop laughing and said to Gao Gong seriously:
Guo Butang is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and the anger of officials owed salaries in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces in the country accumulated on him.
As long as he has no objection, I will naturally agree. Mr. Xu kicked the ball to Guo Pu and asked him to
Let's fight in the house.
Although Guo Pu and Gao Gong were in an alliance, they were at the level of struggle and were really going to be political affairs.
He still had to discuss the matter, but he immediately refused and told Gao Gong: It's not just waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.
The Ministry of Rites is a family? Who is not hungry in the two government offices in Beijing? Five or six provinces including Henan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou have not been issued for more than half a year.
Isn't this just an excuse for those bastards to find corruption? He turned around as he said that
Xu Jie said: Yuan Fu is to take care of the landlord's family and will not owe wages until the end of the year, because the boss knows,
Don't let the long-term workers celebrate the New Year, they will make trouble in the coming year, and the boss will suffer in the end. Guo Pu is not
Isn’t the fuel-saving lamp that makes me express my opinion? Well, pay everyone’s salary down, this is my attitude.
Guo Butang's words were rough and not rough. Xu Jie seemed to be unable to hear the sarcasm in Gao Gong's words at all, and nodded slowly:
How much money does the Ministry of Personnel need in total?
Knowing that the court is not easy, it will be reduced and saved. Guo Pu said: It will cost 1.7 million taels.
So many - all the masters of the ministry were gasping.
This has only been issued for nine months. If all the accumulated debts in previous years are included, Guo Pu was afraid that they would ruin his affairs by saying everything, so he hurriedly said: Four million taels are not enough.
Everyone was surprised and sighing, but Gao Gong couldn't help but say coldly: It can be seen how much redundant officials and officials in the Ming Dynasty have reached.
He was a Minister of Personnel and said this very powerfully.
When Gao Gong was about to say strange things again, Xu Jie frowned unpredictably and said lightly: Today I will only talk about budgets, not anything else. If I go casually, I will never finish talking for three days and three nights. Stop Gao Gong's words, he said to Lei Li, Minister of Works: Leibutang, do you tell me about the Ministry of Works?
"The Ministry of Works actually has a lot of expenses, but considering the finances of the court, the officials have tried to cut off some less urgent or less important things." How could there be fools who can serve the Shangshu? Lei Li stated as soon as he came up that what he said was urgent and important, and he did not cut a single knife: "There are three main parts, one is the two palaces and two halls project, the other is the Yuzhi altar project; and the other is the project to manage the Yellow River."
"How much money do you need?" Xu Jie had actually read their presentation a long time ago, but if all parties want to reach a compromise, they can only let everyone listen.
"The two palaces and two contemporaries are one million and a half taels; the Yuzhi altar is seven hundred thousand taels; the Yellow River is eight hundred thousand taels." Lei Li immediately burst out the numbers and said, "There are three million taels in total."
"Why are there so much money?" The ministers were furious and asked, "These palaces have been cultivated for several years and cost huge sums of money every year, so why are they endless?"
"You don't know that the more you reach the end of this project, the more you will spend." Lei Li replied: "The royal style and the honor of the emperor rely on the word "decoration". You can save a little invisible places, but you must not save the visible places."
The one asked, "Why does a Yuzhi altar cost so much? Could it be that it was made of gold?"
"Building two palaces and two halls has consumed all the remaining capitals. The marble, granite, nanmu, mahogany and sandalwood were temporarily recruited from various provinces and transported to Beijing by sea." Lei Li said: "Seventy-hundred thousand taels are just materials. As for the expenses of the civilians, the Ministry of Works did not write them on each document, and was planning to think about them from other places..."
"Then why does it cost so little to treat yellow? "Their common sense is that every time you treat yellow, you can spend millions. This time, you only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you have never seen it.
"Hey, it's not good to save money for the court?" Lei Li cursed with a smile: "Maybe you have taken the medicine for fainting?"
"It's good to save money." Gao Gong asked on behalf of everyone: "But Hegong is related to the safety of the people. Never save money and cut corners."
"Master Gao doesn't dare to borrow my courage," Lei Li said seriously: "That's right. When Master Shen was in charge of the Southeast, he recommended a river worker talent to the Ministry of Works, and I sent him to the river yamen. As a result, this person was indeed extraordinary. He designed a very clever plan, which greatly reduced the project volume and saved half of the cost."
"What happened?" said the master in surprise.
"Yes." At this time, the chief minister said, "That man is called Pan Jixun. I have also asked him specifically. He is indeed a rare talent." As he said, he looked at everyone and said, "Only trying to find a way to reduce the burden on the court is to share the worries of the country, rather than just knowing to ask for money." He said, "I am quite embarrassed to say that the elders are not as energetic as they are not as energetic as they are.
