Chapter 0061 Fight for power!

Politics is inherently about high-end bargaining.

Compared with sharing the land from a small farmer to an acre, the gentry all pay the grain and work as errands

Returning the emperor to public service is the most acceptable strategy for the cabinet.

The essence of the so-called "returning the government to the public" is to raise taxes. Will local officials stop plundering money because your court is consuming envy and returning it to the public? No, they will still rush to plunder money.

If you raise a little tax today, the local dog officials will dare to increase it by ten points.

Ye Xianggao's proposal to return Confucius to the government was done with the intention of letting this policy go to waste and even triggering a civil uprising, which would lead to backlash.

Who will take the blame then, but Zhang Haogu?

During the Zhengde period, Liu Jin was also thinking about reforms, but in the end he was too late to do so.

Do you really think you are Zhang Juzheng?

Zhang Haogu's attempt to bring Xian back to the government is bound to fail.

The reason is also very simple. Ye Xianggaotai knows what these dog officials are.

However, what Ye Xianggao didn't expect was that Zhang Haogu actually applied a patch.

One is to maintain integrity, and the other is to make up for it immediately!

In an instant, Ye Xianggao understood the court's strategy. To put it simply, all future income would be replenished to the Ministry of Hunan and then the Ministry of Hunan would distribute integrity-supporting silver to all officials.

The first problem to be eliminated is the problem of arbitrary apportionment. However, money still has to be given to civil and military officials, but the specific amount and how to give it depends on the court's wishes.

In this way, this resistance is naturally reduced a lot.

To give a common example, your salary used to be directly transferred to your card every month, but now the salary is transferred to your wife's card first, and then your wife transfers it to you to spend.

Although it may be a lot at the beginning, but what about in the future?

It's not the imperial court that has the final say.

The essence of returning to the public is to raise taxes, and the essence of raising integrity is to raise the salaries of civil and military officials, and the immediate compensation is to strictly guard against those who are watching you to see if you have increased the apportionment, and to imitate your idiots to make the New Deal bigger.

, and eventually backfired on the imperial court.

Ye Xianggao is now more and more sure.

Emperor Tianqi's new policy was probably the result of Zhang Haogu's instigation.

He knew what a local dog official was, and Zhang Haogu also knew it.

I'm going to stop the mouths of you bastards with the money. The immediate solution is to keep an eye on whether you, the dog officials, continue to distribute the money.

If the data is apportioned, replace it; if the data is huge, kill it.

Return the envy to the public, raise the honest bank, and make up for it immediately. Under these three axes, there is a hidden new policy - normalized anti-corruption!

Although he is young, his methods are quite sophisticated. He does not look like a fledgling in the political arena, nor does he look like an old oil man. He does look a bit like Zhang Juzheng - he does not lose any of the benefits he wants, but he also

I really want to change the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of my heart.

Of course, this is just Ye Xianggao's wishful thinking.

Zhang Haogu's idea is simpler. After all, the Ming Dynasty only has a few days left, so he can try his best. If the tossing is good, he will be given a life extension. If the tossing is not good, he will think about going home to rebel.

The three must-haves for time travellers are firmly imprinted in my mind.

It is impossible for him to be like Zhang Juzheng and die exhausted.

I have dedicated myself to the Ming Dynasty and died, and the Ming Dynasty still wants to liquidate me. Is this something that a human being can do?

In short, Zhang Haogu's meaning is very obvious.

There is no need to be in such a hurry when it comes to sharing the land. However, the cabinet must agree to return the money to the public, raise the honest bank, and establish the statistics department to be replenished immediately.

Especially the Statistics Department.

This is Zhang Haogu's intention to increase the authority of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is simply equivalent to the price bureau of later generations. It is necessary to keep statistics on prices in major regions across the country to prevent people from below from deceiving others.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and wages, and all financial matters. Naturally, prices must also be managed. However, the price statistics are not investigated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, but reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs by local governments.

Think about it, if civil and military officials dare to fool the emperor, then do local officials dare to fool the Ministry of Revenue?

This is not impossible.

Mainly because I can't trust these bastards.

The authority of the Ministry of Accounts should be increased.

Zhang Haogu also had a fierce quarrel with Ye Xianggao. In short, both sides were bargaining. One thing is that the influence of Zhu Youxiao's generation in the Ming Dynasty has become more and more powerful.

This policy was immediately approved by the cabinet. However, Ye Xianggao wanted to completely control this group of alternate officials. The reason was that this group of people had to be under the control of the Ministry of Personnel.

Let the Ministry of Personnel select alternate officials.

What Zhang Haogu meant was to set up a special investigation team and simply merge this investigation team into his own statistics department. In other words, they were all from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is directly authorized by the emperor and cannot be handled by the personnel department. If it is really handled by the personnel department, it will inevitably have to blackmail this group of alternate officials.

In short, what Zhang Haogu meant was to start anew and make these candidate officials directly responsible to the emperor. Ye Xianggao meant that they had to be managed by the Ministry of Personnel. The management of the Ministry of Personnel was still within the scope of the officialdom and could not start anew. This was very important to the officialdom.

Said it was a kind of destruction.

However, Zhang Haogu also understands that we really cannot let the officials manage it. Once it is really handed over to the officials, they will have a hundred ways to supply you with immediate supplies to complete a joke.

Of course, it is not impossible to hand it over to the officials.

Let him, Zhang Haogu, be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Otherwise, no need to talk!

Obviously, it is impossible for Zhang Haogu to serve as three ministers at the same time.

Ye Xianggao also spoke with trepidation.

This bastard has a criminal record, and he will do it if he can't talk it out.

Fortunately, Zhang Haogu didn't hit anyone.

As long as we all sit down and discuss policies, don't fucking say that I have a bad character or that I have a low character.

If you dare to scold me, I will show you that I am really of low character.

Sometimes Zhang Haogu feels that he is at a disadvantage.

He scolded the people next door. These bastards always liked to quote scriptures, beat around the bush, and scolded him in various ways.

The point is, I don’t understand it.

You are a dignified champion, a second-rank official in the imperial court, and a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. How can you not understand others scolding you? Doesn't this clearly indicate that there is something wrong?

Therefore, once a quarrel breaks out and someone gives an example or compares himself to something, Zhang Haogu will directly attack him personally.

I don’t know what you are scolding me for, but if you scold me, I will beat you directly.

The most unlucky person is Yang Lian.

He always says something in a weird way that Zhang Haogu can't understand. Who else would he beat if he doesn't?

At this moment, Ye Xianggao didn't talk too much, nor did he directly attack Zhang Haogu's character issues. Instead, he discussed the matter as it happened.

In addition, Zhang Haogu still found a way to bring Zhang Ruitu, the ultimate tool man, to his side. Once someone started to say something he didn't understand, he would quietly ask Zhang Ruitu what this stupid thing meant, so that

Zhang Ruitu translated for himself.

Besides Zhang Ruitu, there is also Wang Zhijian.

Zhang Ruitu is the Minister of Rites, and not long ago, Wang Zhijian was promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs to work under Zhang Haogu.

In the final analysis, the quarrel between Zhang Haogu and Ye Xianggao is about two words: seizing power.

If this group of candidate officials is led by the Civil Service Department, then the people from the Civil Service Department are approximately equal to the people from the Donglin Party.

If a brand new group was specially established, it would be equivalent to Zhang Haogu's people and members of Zhang Haogu's party.

In short, both sides need to seize power around this point.

Zhang Haogu showed his super fighting ability, being young and energetic, and also used force to intimidate with his fists from time to time, and gained the upper hand in the negotiation process.

Although I can't argue with you with my Confucian classics, I have a louder voice and more energy than you, so I just want to bully you, a bad old man.

In the end, Ye Xianggao was defeated.

There was no way, once the deadlock was reached, Zhang Haogu spread his hands and said directly, let's not talk about it, you just let the emperor's ancestral system toss you slowly. If the cabinet is disobedient, then let Da Gao slowly

Deal with it and replace it with an obedient cabinet.

Ye Xianggao gritted his teeth and then gave in.

The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated a sum of money specifically to support this group of candidate officials, and temporarily incorporated these candidate officials into the newly established Statistics Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This is the end.

After the negotiations were settled, Zhang Haogu immediately asked Wang Zhijian to write a memorial and submit it to the cabinet.
