Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

For many days in a row, just because the cabinet issued an edict specifically stating that it was the duty to protect the territory, there were countless quarrels and criticisms among officials in the court.

Even the supervisors and ceremonial supervisors are almost overwhelmed with the remonstrances and remonstrances submitted by the Secretary of Economic Affairs and Communications. The contents of these memorials are all the same, and the attitude of the expressions is the same. There is a problem with keeping the land and being responsible, and it is not in line with the current national conditions. If it is forced If it is announced, there will be big trouble!

Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at this type of remonstrances and sent them to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Since it was decided, Zhu Youxiao couldn't change it!

Changing orders in the morning and at night is a taboo! !

In the current situation of Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Youxiao's attitude on some things changes repeatedly, it will only make Ming Dynasty more chaotic.

Those who care deeply about the country will be disappointed.

Speculators with scheming ideas will be excited.

The current difficulties and shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty are largely related to the governing concepts of successive emperors. Especially when reputation is involved, some emperors will make concessions. However, in the dispute between imperial power and ministerial power, once concessions are made If so, what will be lost will not be as simple as the imperial authority, but it will also destroy the roots of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youxiao never attaches great importance to fame, because Zhu Youxiao knows that history books are always written by victors. Instead of being swayed by these, it is better to get things done first. If the Ming Dynasty is really in his hands, If there is a strong rise here, then someone will solve these troubles.

If the Ming Dynasty had not reversed the fate of the country, the country would eventually be overturned, and the hat of a subjugated king would be buckled, then all dirty water would be poured out.

So Zhu Youxiao didn't have any psychological burden at all.

"Mr. British, what do you think about your responsibility to defend your territory?"

Outside the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Youxiao walked forward with his hands behind his back and said to Zhang Weixian who was following him: "There have been many people in the court talking about this matter recently, and there is even a lot of opposition. I was just thinking, could it be that I really did something wrong in this matter?" Already?"

"I think your Majesty did nothing wrong."

When Zhang Weixian heard this, his attitude was extremely clear, "Since the forty-seventh year of Wanli, our court has made mistakes that should not have been made in some matters. It is precisely this that has led to the court often falling into a passive position and losing control of Liaodong. A large territory, and the rebellion of chieftains in the southwest, I feel very angry every time I think of these."

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhang Weixian in surprise.

He knew the impact of this matter, so Zhang Weixian's direct statement was still beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectation.

After all, if this matter spreads, I don’t know how many people will point the finger at Zhang Weixian.

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao was surprised and sighed softly: "Isn't it true that I have the responsibility to protect the territory? In fact, in my opinion, it is to completely reverse the past situation of 'bad money drives out good money'. The center, in the local area, forms the trend of 'good money drives out bad money'!"

"If this decree is sent to the world, it will definitely have an impact on the local area. I know this better than anyone else. However, the ones who have the greatest impact are those who do not seek their duties in their positions, and even do it for fame and personal gain. For the sake of the future, they ignore the facts and give random orders and interfere!"

"On the contrary, those who want to do practical things in their positions, or are doing practical things, will not be affected in any way. On the contrary, they will gain more initiative. After all, there will be fewer people to constrain and calculate, so The efficiency of doing things locally can be improved.”

Zhang Weixian nodded in approval.

As a distinguished nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhang Weixian rarely appeared in court before, he still had a relatively good grasp of matters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The British public lineage is a long-established nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, and the accumulated heritage and connections far exceed many people's imagination.

But so what if you know this?

After all, it is the civil servants who are in power in the government. Maybe the civil servants in power will change, but some things remain unchanged. After all, the interests of the civil servants, no matter who takes over the established position, will find ways to maintain it.

"After I learned about this, I felt that there would be big changes in the Liao affairs in the future, and even the counterinsurgency in the southwest." Zhang Weixian, who thought of this, spoke out what was in his mind.

"Because of this decree, some people will have concerns in their hearts. They have to consider one thing. If they get involved, if it causes changes in the place, will they be able to bear the consequences?"

"But people like Sun Chengzong and Zhu Xieyuan, who are dedicated to the public good, will not do it even if they have to take some risks because of this decree."

"But in this case, the court will have to consider another thing, because this decree will cause some people to violate it in the local area out of their own interests."

"Then arrest, then kill!!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were sharp and he said: "Of course I know that after the promulgation of the local responsibility, such scandals will inevitably occur. If we want to solve these problems, we must express the court's attitude!!"

really.

Zhang Weixian, who heard this, was secretly glad in his heart. Regarding this matter, he had figured out what the emperor was thinking. In addition to tightening the rules for civil servants, he also wanted to use this opportunity to raise the dignity of the imperial court! !

"It's just that in this way, the court will become passive in some matters."

While feeling lucky, Zhang Weixian felt that he still had to report some words to the emperor, "I am worried that some people will tamper with taxes and then force the court..."

"Since I have done this, I am not afraid of such embarrassing things happening."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile but not a smile: "Not to mention whether my internal funds are sufficient, just from the annual dividends of Tongbao Bank, I have the confidence to withstand the pressure and solve the exposed problems."

Today, Tongbao Yinhao has blossomed all over the capital and Gyeonggi. Those nobles who served in the Royal Imperial Guards Palace may have lost their power in the government, but they all have their background.

In particular, the previous run wave made Tongbao Bank's reputation stand up. The key was to clarify the policy of long-distance exchange. It was difficult for Tongbao Bank not to expand.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Youxiao decided to call Tongbao Bank a temporary private operation.

If the imperial court is really responsible for hosting it, then a good thing can turn into a bad thing. After all, the current bureaucracy is too heavy. If the bank is run by an official, I don't know how many people will take care of it.

But if Zhang Weixian and the others are responsible for hosting, there will be no such problem for the time being. After all, the interests involved involve everyone. If someone dares to interfere with it, others will definitely be dissatisfied.

In the creation of Tongbao Bank, Zhu Youxiao not only wanted to tie Zhang Weixian and others onto his own profit carriage, asking them to give up some of their vested interests and then stand firmly on his side, but also had the intention of rapid expansion. , the idea of ​​​​gathering private wealth.

As long as the reputation of Tongbao Bank is strong, Zhu Youxiao will be able to dismantle Tongbao Bank and solve the challenges when encountering some emergencies.

Of course, because Tongbao Bank is too important, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to let private forces occupy the shares of the bank. After all, this is likely to breed chaebol power.

The Ming Dynasty has a rich history. If it turns into a chaebol, it will be very harmful to the Ming Dynasty, and it will even influence the politics, military and other fields of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, within a certain period of time, Zhu Youxiao will definitely use new interests to eliminate the bank account interests held by Zhang Weixian and others to solve this hidden danger.

Of course that's all for later.

After all, what is before Zhu Youxiao now is to solve the accumulated evils and cancers that have arisen. Before these things are properly resolved, it makes no sense to think too long-term.

"Your Majesty!! Something big happened!!"

While Zhu Youxiao was deep in thought, a panicked voice sounded, which made Zhu Youxiao frown and saw Wang Tiqian running over in a hurry, holding a memorial in his hand.

"How unbecoming is it to be so panicked!!"

When Wang Tiqian arrived, Zhu Youxiao frowned and scolded.

Rules are what Zhu Youxiao values ​​most.

The current chaos in Ming Dynasty is that the rules are out of order.

There can't be a square circle without rules!

"A slave shall be punished by death!"

The king's body was as dry as chaff, and he knelt down on the ground. He picked up the memorial and said with trembling in his words: "There is a defeat from Liao Qian!"

"what?!"

Zhang Weixian was startled and looked at Wang Tiqian with wide eyes.

broken!

But at this moment, Zhu Youxiao remembered one thing, the defeat of Liuhe. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao was in an extremely bad mood. How could he forget this matter! !
