I am the king of the dead

In actual governance, always choose the decree that is most suitable for the current situation, so that the New Deal can be truly implemented.

In the public opinion of Daming, His Majesty actually has the notoriety of being penny-pinching.

Domestic money and national money, the internal transport depot and the Ministry of Households always quarrel when they meet, and the quarrel is turned upside down. It seems that the emperor is greedy and the Ministry of Households loves money.

But is it possible to take care of the basic necessities of life of nearly tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty without making a fuss?

Your Majesty earns money like flowing water, and spends money like opening a sluice to release water, but every movement is worth nearly a million national funds, just like hundreds of rivers reaching the sea, not even a splash can be seen.

Zhu Qiyu went on to say: "Mozi talks about non-aggression and love, and he is talking about distribution according to needs. We need to distribute according to needs in some fields."

"For example, those who are not afraid of death on the battlefield and lose the ability to work, we have to raise them."

"For example, officials in the capital hold enormous power in their hands, so we must distribute it to them according to their needs. Otherwise, without them even opening their mouths, someone will send them a lot of money, money, and acres of land. "

"These small-scale distribution according to needs is within the control of the court, but in more cases, we have to talk about distribution according to work."

"Insisting on distribution according to work as the main method, insisting on protecting the people to get their due labor remuneration, and insisting on earning money for work, this is also one of the court's benevolence, righteousness and etiquette."

"Distribution according to needs, distribution according to capital, multiple distribution systems in parallel, is the most suitable path for Ming Dynasty at present."

"If someone insists on forcing me to be a lone husband and a traitor to the people, I am willing to bear the infamy."

A single husband and a traitor to the people are the most insulting words to an emperor.

To be alone is to be bossy, to sum up in one word, to act arbitrarily.

People's thieves are thieves who compete with the people for profit, and they must compare every penny. They are thieves who steal money from the people.

For example, the teacher of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty once scolded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che as a lone husband and a thief of the people. He refused to listen to advice and insisted on going his own way.

This is Zhu Qiyu's determination, he is not afraid of being scolded, he will rebel if he has the courage, and it will be over if he, the emperor, is killed or not.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Wuqing Hou Shiheng's eyes lit up immediately, he smelled the military medal!

Shi Heng's eyes dimmed quickly. Daming who rebelled and had to pay taxes three times, who could be so stupid?

Distribution is a very big topic. Zhu Qiyu didn't talk about how to distribute it in depth, but just drew a line in the general direction.

Because the distribution is not reasonable, the distribution is a real move, and the interests have been divided up long ago.

No matter whose head the knife falls on, it will be a blunt knife that cuts flesh, causing pain and pain.

It is done, not spoken.

Zhu Qiyu just pointed out a direction, and this direction was exactly what the officials needed.

Zhu Qiyu briefly talked about the distribution, and the salt and iron meeting quickly returned to the normal agenda.

"Your Majesty, Li Xian, the governor of Tiantian, said that he asked for an order to revoke the matter of salt introduction, and I think it is inappropriate." Wang Hu, a doctor of the Du branch of the Ministry of household affairs, talked about the second matter of the Ministry of household affairs.

Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved Li Xian's memorial, and revoked part of the Yanyin.

Li Xian is not a talkative person. He hopes that after the abolition of Yanyin, a set of reforms on the supply side of salt and iron will be established, and a full-scale official operation of salt will be carried out, following the example of King Xiang in Guizhou.

This knife was chopped on the head of the Lianghuai salt merchants. The Lianghuai salt merchants had expected that this knife would come sooner or later, so many of them were transforming, for example, their eyes were on the ocean.

You can spend large sums of money in sacks at home, so what motivation is there to go to sea?

But the Ming Emperor's New Deal was unstoppable, and they had struggled before, and found that the more intense the struggle, the more means His Majesty would have, so they simply chose to obey.

Zhu Qiyu believes that the time has come to cancel Yanyin.

There are many reasons for this kind of opportunity. For example, Jing'an Province in the Hetao area is gradually stabilizing, the Anmin Canal has been put into use, the area of ​​cultivated land in the Hetao area is growing rapidly, and the grain production is increasing rapidly, which is enough to supply food for the frontier.

There is nothing wrong with canceling the introduction of salt and replacing it with supply-side reform.

"Tell me the reason." Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Hu and said seriously.

In fact, Wang Hu was in the process of refuting the seal. After Zhu's memorial was sent to the Ministry of Households, he was stopped by the Ministry of Households and asked for an order to discuss policies.

However, Wang Hu chose the timing and location of the refutation of the seal very cleverly. He chose Juxian Pavilion, a place where speech is extremely free. It is a policy, not a denial.

"It's very simple, because the frontier needs to use food." Wang Hu cut to the chase and said a very reasonable nonsense.

Wang Hu explained: "In the entire Datong, Xuanfu, Shaanxi-Gansu, and Ning'an areas, Yanyin provides more than [-]% of the grain. If Yanyin is canceled now, it will definitely increase the tax pressure on the Hetao area."

"Jing'an is newly restored, and all kinds of wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. If the salt introduction is canceled and the supply is replaced, then Datong, Xuanfu, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, Jing'an, will inevitably have a problem of expensive food and salt. Minister I thought we had to wait."

"Nan Ya is indeed ready, but Bian Fang is not."

Wang Hu's reason was that the development of the region was not balanced, which led to the urgent need to cancel the salt importation in Nanya, and the frontier area is not self-sufficient now. Once the salt introduction is cancelled, it will inevitably lead to a rise in prices in the border area.

Jiang Yuan also strongly agreed: "If Yanyin is stopped, we will have to find a way to supplement the source of [-]% of the grain, which will inevitably increase taxes."

"At present, almost all the prices in Ming Dynasty are still based on food, and food is the most important thing for the people, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu's index finger kept tapping on the table, which meant that the emperor was thinking.

At this time, Juxian Pavilion was very quiet, there was a northwest wind whistling outside the window, and the sound of snowflakes flying and tearing was heard in the Nuan Pavilion.

"That's right, bring Li Xian's memorial, I'll keep it first." Zhu Qiyu took it back.

The emperor said that it is hard to chase a four-horse horse, and the speed of this back and forth is really embarrassing.

But Zhu Qiyu is not afraid of this alone.

Since what the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War said is reasonable, it is natural to take it back.

Faint government and disorderly conduct are a major event in which the monarch loses his way and his officials lose their morality. The price to be paid for a weak government is lizi and the hearts of the people, and if it is taken back, it is the emperor's face that will be lost.

Wang Hu hesitated for a while, but did not take out the memorial, and said in a daze, "I didn't bring it with me, I will send it to the Supervisor of Rites tomorrow."

"No?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Hu, and said without taking it seriously: "Then I will send it to the Supervisor of Rites tomorrow."

Your Majesty is willing to lose face, but the courtiers cannot let His Majesty lose face. The king humiliates his ministers to death, this is the way of a minister.

Wang Hu planned to have a chat with Da Dang Xing'an, the supervisor of ceremonies, after the meeting was over. This was a matter of fate and could not be entered into the file.

How to ensure that His Majesty's wisdom and merits are unstained is the gift of a minister.

The salt and iron meeting continued until late in the evening, when the officials of Daming made a summary of Jingtai's five years and Daming's financial affairs.

The construction of officialdoms such as Shijing Factory, Sheng Factory, and Liuzhi Factory, the collection and storage of Baoyuan Bureau, the acceptance of Jingtai Tongbao, the remittance of silver coins, these things, there are a lot of things, and they have been chatting until the end of the day. .

Hu Yan kept squinting his eyes to rest in the second half of the journey, as if he was getting old and lacking in energy.

When His Majesty said the meeting was adjourned, Hu Wei stretched his waist and planned to leave the meeting.

"Yu Shaobao, Hu Shangshu, please stay here for a while." Zhu Qiyu had already seen Hu Wei, the master who was pretending to be confused, and had been pretending to be confused.

Zhu Qiyu really couldn't tell whether Hu Min was sleepy, whether it was real or fake, so he simply kept Hu Min and asked him face to face.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Take it out."

Hu Yi rolled up his sleeves, shook his head quickly and said: "Your Majesty! From now on, everyone will be included in history. If you read this, you will be scolded to change history!"

"I'm still afraid of this? I said that I didn't change the history, and no one believed it. It's like I deliberately smeared him." Zhu Qiyu said with a sneer.

Zhu Mingmen knocked on the pass in Xuanfu and Datong; in the capital, he cooperated with the Wala people to design an ambush plan to capture Yu Qian and Shi Heng;

If "Ming Yingzong Shilu" is not Ming Xianzong, Zhu Mingmeng and his own son Zhu Jianshenxiu, it is the son saying the father's fault.

If Ming Dynasty Zong or Ming Dynasty Zong's children edited history, the infamy of changing history is a certainty.

Today's salt and iron meeting was missing a process, Zhu Qiyu kept thinking about what was missing, until the emperor saw Hu Wei who was full of energy after the meeting, the emperor immediately understood.

Today's salt and iron meeting, without the Minister of Rites, is flattering.

Hu Wei reluctantly took out the minutes of the meeting from his sleeve, which was Hu's summary of His Majesty's words.

Zhu Qiyu jokingly said: "What did you write? It's so tightly guarded."

He opened the content written by Hu Min, and said helplessly: "Choose and choose, only these few sentences can be used, and delete everything else."

"Five directions for the soundtrack of the sage: the palace dwells in it, the merchants, the horns, the levy, and the feathers are matched to the four directions, and the general distribution is discussed in the Juxian Pavilion. There is income in the middle, and the bed and skin are stripped, and the accumulated wealth is tens of millions to match."

"That's why, earn according to your work, according to your needs, and according to your capital, you can expect prosperity and prosperity."

Peeling the bed and the skin is a relatively unpopular idiom, which is roughly equivalent to the pain of the skin, that is, very urgent pain, which needs to be given to them according to their needs.

Gongshangjiao Zhengyu is the five parties of music, the palace lives in it, and income according to work should occupy the main distribution principle in the distribution.

Zhu Qiyu only left these few useful words, those flirtatious words were all rejected by Zhu Qiyu.

Hu Yi picked up the pen, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty let them open up to scold them when they did evil things. Now that there are great policies and good governance, why can't Your Majesty open up and let people praise you?"

"Your Majesty, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "You write so much, posterity will only say that the common people have exhausted their wealth and hate the sky, but it will give Hu Shangshu a bit of flattering impression, so forget it."

"It's finished, just keep it in Xing'an."

Hu Yi finally revised it, handed it to Xing'an and said: "Next time I will beat the draft, and I will write the private history when I go back."

Zhu Qiyu didn't get too entangled in this matter, but said seriously: "Even if the stone carving on Yashan is not torn down, can it be changed?"

On the stone wall of the cliff mountain, there are twelve characters engraved: Zhang Hongfan, the great general of Zhenguo, destroyed the Song Dynasty here.

Chapter 532 Owned by Shaobao's Constantinople, it is indestructible

This is the second time that Zhu Qiyu mentioned this stele.

In the previous symposium before the Salt and Iron Conference, Zhu Qiyu talked about this stele, talked about the fall of the Song Dynasty, and Hu Yuan's entry into the Central Plains, juxtaposing it with the fall of Rome.

After the death of the Song Dynasty, the generals of the Yuan Dynasty erected stone carvings, which wrote the Yashan sea battle that destroyed the Song Dynasty.

Chen Shabai, also known as Chen Xianzhang, advocated that you should know what you doubt.

Recently, Chen Xianzhang had a quarrel with Xu Mao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governor of military affairs and the inspector censor.

When Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei talked about the unity of knowledge and action before, Hu Wei recommended Chen Xianzhang to discuss psychology and Neo-Confucianism with His Majesty.

Zhu Qiyu did not meet Chen Xianzhang.

Wang Ao, the left servant of the official department, the head of the official department, Wang Zhi has been training this left servant of the official department recently, and handed over many government affairs to Wang Ao.

For example, recently, Lian Gang, who was fighting corruption and catching corruption, went to Sichuan to investigate and deal with the top case, and it was Wang Ao who had been handling it.

Before Wang Ao returned to Beijing, he briefly served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, that is, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for military affairs. After Wang Ao returned to Beijing, the censor and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi were handed over to a man named Xu Mao.

When Xu Mao went to Yashan to commemorate Lu Xiufu and tens of thousands of people who went to the disaster, he found this stone carving on the stone wall and asked for an order to smear it or destroy it altogether.

However, Chen Xianzhang strongly asked for it not to be allowed.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, His Majesty can dismantle it if you want, and change it if you want."

"it's already over."

"In the Battle of Yuerhai that year, General Lan Yu completely knocked down Hu Yuan's lineage from the throne. Afterwards, Daming engraved Hanhai as Tan and Tianshan as Yan on Qinhu Mountain."

"So, this grievance is over, because Daming retaliated equally."

What Yu Qian was talking about was the achievements of more than ten Northern Expeditions of the Ming Dynasty from the Hongwu period to the 22nd year of Yongle.

Hu Mei said with full of memories: "Emperor Taizong Wen carved letters on Qinhu Mountain on purpose. Because of this, many people said at the time that Emperor Ming was petty and upstart. It has been more than a hundred years, and he still thinks about it. , You have to erect a monument before you give up."

"But it's also this stele, which can be regarded as settling the grievances between Daming and the Tatars."

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback, and asked strangely: "Isn't this intensifying the conflict between the two races? Why did the erection of the monument resolve the enmity?"

Isn't this irritating the prairie people?How did it become a reconciliation?

Hu Wei thought about it seriously and said: "The word "resentment" always pays attention to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If he slaps me, I will definitely retaliate."

"It's revenge."

"Otherwise it's like a stick in the throat."

"How can any hatred be forgiven? Emotions need to be vented. If you can't vent, you will always hold your breath, and it is impossible to resolve it."

"After the inscription on the Yongqing Desert was erected, the kings of Oara, Tatar, and Wulianghabe began to be canonized. Otherwise, even if Emperor Yiwen had great martial arts and canonized the king of Tatar, there would be a lot of opposition. "

Hatred is not to be forgiven, but to be remembered. If this kind of emotion is not vented, it will accumulate and deepen over time.

Zhu Qiyu thought of the spiritual seat in his imperial study. He would pay homage to the souls of the dead every Mid-Autumn Festival. During that time, he seldom went back to Tai'an Palace, so he lived in the lecture hall.

Zhu Qiyu knew that it was his heart disease, and it was impossible for him to get over this heart disease.

Hatred needs to be vented before it can be healed.

Hu Wei is indeed the Minister of Rites.

Yu Qian said that it doesn't matter if His Majesty wants to tear it down or change it, because the matter has passed and Daming has called back.

Zhu Qiyu understood, nodded and said: "Then tear it down, out of sight, out of mind."
