After Yunxi went to court, he returned to the Qianqing Palace and began to deal with today's memorials. However, Yunxi did not distribute the memorials according to the previous method today, but adopted another method.
Yunxi said: "I just asked the people in the General Affairs Department, and today's memorial did not report any major events, so I want to use this today to see what people are capable of."
The fourth auxiliary officer was not surprised, nor was he disappointed. Now the position of the fourth auxiliary officer does not actually have any real power. The only advantage is that he is well-informed and close to the emperor, but they are all close confidants of Yunxi, so this does not mean much, so Both themselves and Yunxi have always wanted to send them to various provinces as envoys, to command envoys, or to take charge of the six ministries.
But now there is no one around Yunxi who can replace them, and they cannot be released for a while, so Yunxi has been working hard to train the players around him to reach the level that can replace Yunxi.
Guo Zhen was most familiar with Yunxi. Seeing that Yunxi was in a good mood, he said jokingly: "Your Majesty, I have long wanted to be sent to a local place as a commander. Let's train them as soon as possible."
Yunxi also smiled and told them a few jokes, and then let the monks start voting for the memorial.
The memorial staff were very excited! Although Yunxi had sometimes consulted their opinions before, but how often did this happen? Everyone took the memorial with excitement and sat down to prepare for review. It took a long time for many people to calm down and take it seriously. Ticket plan.
There weren't many notes today. In less than a quarter of an hour, someone finished drawing up the memorial notes in their hands and handed them to Yunxi.
Yunxi looked up and saw that it was Zhang Fu who was the first to draft the memorial that was assigned to him. During the Chinese New Year, there were fewer things to do with the army, so the memorial was distributed to several generals, and each of them received more than There are much fewer people in Zhongshushe, and of course it is much faster.
Yunxi browsed through these memorials and felt that there were no problems, so he asked Wang Xi to copy them over to the memorials again.
Then he looked at Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu was in an awkward position for countering the rebellion this time. He couldn't handle it if he encountered Zhang Yu during the war, so he just followed Yunxi to make plans and did not go to the front line to fight. Although there were some rewards after the war. , but it's just a small reward, and it's still given up in front of general officials.
Yunxi also intends to keep him by his side to take over Guo Zhen's position. However, his qualifications are still a little lacking now and he needs to continue to be trained.
After that, other Tongshishi people also completed their own notes one after another and handed them to Yunxi.
After a while, people in the Zhongshushe also finished drawing up the votes one after another and delivered the memorial to Yun Xi.
Yunxi looked at each one carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He took out a memorial and read it several times.
After that, he read many more folding papers and picked out a few. After all the folding papers were answered, Yunxi picked up a few folding papers around him and said: "These river disasters, who drafted the folding papers from Huguang?" ?”
A somewhat uneasy voice sounded: "Your Majesty, this is what I voted for."
Yunxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man of about twenty-eight or nine years old bowing and saluting.
Yunxi said warmly: "I remember that you were elected as a member of Zhongshushe from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
The man said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Qi Tai said at this time: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Xia Yuanji. He was recommended by me when I was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. At that time, this person was serving as the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I felt that this person had a strong sense of the overall situation, so I recommended him to your Majesty. Zhongshu Sheren."
After listening to what he said, Yunxi also thought of this person. At that time, Yunxi paid special attention to this person, but later he forgot about it because of too many things.
And, 'The name Xia Yuanji seems familiar. Have I heard it somewhere?' Yunxi thought.
No matter what, Xia Yuanji's memorials this time were well drafted. They not only solved the matter itself, but also took into account the actual local situation and solved the problem at the minimum cost. It was really good.
Yunxi praised Xia Yuanji a few more times, and then asked him to stand aside.
Later, Yunxi asked again: "Who drafted the memorials in Zhili and Yunnan respectively?"
Two people said separately: "The minister Zhao Diyi (Su Youxue) voted for it."
Yunxi called the two of them to his side and gave him the same reward as he did to Xia Yuanji. Although the two of them were slightly worse than Xia Yuanji, they were equally powerful. Yunxi felt that they were no worse than Chen Xingshan before.
In particular, "Zhao Aiqing, how did you come up with such a draft for the case of Huizhou native Ding Sijuan?" Yunxi asked.
Zhao Diyi said: "Your Majesty, I have noticed before that She County and the other five counties had already had a lawsuit during your Majesty's personal expedition, and this matter was transferred to Your Majesty at that time."
"I was quite curious, so I checked the archives and found that since the 25th year of the Zhizheng period, She County has been solely responsible for the raw silk production for more than 30 years. If it were easily transferred to other counties, I am afraid that other counties would complain. "
"It is better to cancel this tax, and instead follow the policy of the late emperor in the 26th year of Hongwu and supplement it with materials and silver from Huizhou Prefecture. This way, the people of the remaining five counties of Huizhou Prefecture will not complain, She County will also have less taxes, and the country will The government’s taxes have not been reduced.”
The content of this memorial is as follows. In the 24th year of Zhengzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang became king and subsequently revised the Yuan tax. However, during the inspection at the end of that year, Zhongshu Province found that there was a problem with the tax amount, so there was a Yisi restructuring the following year, and many The taxes on the subjects needed to be adjusted. In the end, it was decided to impose a summer tax of four yuan per mu.
But this was originally a tax for the entire Huizhou Prefecture, but somehow it was all borne by She County alone.
It would be fine if we continue to be confused like this, but recently a person who worked as an official in Shexian County discovered this problem. As a native of Shexian County, he naturally could not just sit back and watch so many more taxes in the county, so he joined forces with the local government to The gentry presented a memorial to the court.
The Huizhou Prefecture asked the other five counties, and naturally the other five counties were not willing to bear the tax. The Huizhou Prefecture did not dare to make a decision, and finally reported it to Yunxi.
Zhao Diyi's approach was to cancel this "summer tax dingsi" and make up for it with material silver. The so-called material silver is the money raised by the imperial government at all levels for repairs. In the early years of the dynasty, because there were many things that needed to be built, Therefore, the amount of material silver is not small. However, the actual amount of money used has been decreasing year by year in these years. Zhu Yuanzhang reduced the amount once in the 26th year of Hongwu. After that, the material silver collected every year was sufficient and there was still some leftover.
By following Zhao Diyi's approach and replenishing it with material silver, the government's surplus can be used in recent years without increasing the burden on the other five counties. However, these surpluses will inevitably be used up in a few years, and they will still be shared among the counties. But now At that time, the other five counties had probably forgotten about this matter and would not protest because of it. It was equivalent to using a hidden method or dividing the money so that there would be no problems.
In fact, if he directly ordered the apportionment, the local area would just be in trouble for a while. Yunxi didn't particularly like this method, but the means reflected in it were very powerful.
So Yunxi attached great importance to this person named Zhao Diyi.
Yunxi praised them a few words, and then ordered the memorials to be distributed, ending today's review of the memorials. After that, Yunxi said: "Today is the last day before the Chinese New Year. You only need to leave someone on duty tomorrow. You can leave."
."
But after they retreated, Yunxi looked thoughtfully at the backs of the departing officials, and after a while he turned back to the harem.
