I, Zhu Qizhen, am not called the Son of Heaven!

"Jiang Yuyan, go and report on your duties. "

Zhu Qizhen left, and did not act contrary to the emperor's majesty in the hall where the empress handled official business.

After all, this is the place where the Empress Dowager once lived, and doing something too out of line here annoyed the Empress Dowager, and I am afraid that Jiang Yuyan's life will not be saved.

Moreover, Jiang Yuyan has now been canonized as the female history of the Nourishing Heart Temple, and if you want to be pampered, you can do it at any time.

Jiang Yuyan walked out of the Kunning Palace and turned her head to look at it, her gaze firm.

"I, Jiang Yuyan, will definitely become the master of this place in the end. "

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen was reviewing the recital, and he couldn't help but be angry.

In recent days, there have been no major events in the cabinet and with the six ministries of the three provinces.

In the frontiers of the Daming Empire, nothing major happened.

Since the Daming Empire wiped out the Walla and the great defeat never set on the royal fleet, the entire Daming Empire can be said to have risen to the level of the four seas, and above the sea, even pirates have fled from the wind, and dare not stir up troubles.

However, the cabinet and the six ministries of the three provinces were quiet, and the clear rumored officials who were specifically looking for people to stubble were eager to move and flocked to the scene.

Looking at this thick stack of imperial historian officials impeaching other ministers and offending Tianyan, Zhu Qizhen's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Zhu Qizhen was considerate of the officials and postponed the time of the early dynasty by one hour.

This group of imperial historians flocked to the fold and instructed the emperor, saying that the ancestral system could not be changed, and the time of the early dynasty could not be postponed, otherwise it would make the hundred officials slack.

This day is not yet dawn to go to the dynasty, the hundred officials are not tired, and he, the emperor, the body can not eat!

Zhu Qizhen wants to open the sea, restart the sea trade channel, open the national treasury, find more silver, seek benefits for coastal residents, and improve people's livelihood.

These imperial historians said that they should insist on forbidden the sea, never open the sea, and should not disregard the safety of the coastal people for the benefit of merchants, and instruct the emperor to maintain the ancestral system, and that no one person or one boat should enter the sea.

In addition, Zhuqi Town is full of commerce.

The "637" imperial historian demanded that Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, be severely punished, saying that they were partial to businessmen, accepted bribes from businessmen, and wanted to enhance the status of businessmen.

It is said that since ancient times, everything has been inferior, but reading is high, businessmen do not engage in production, speculation, and hinder the society of Jiangshan and Jiangshan society.

Shi peasants, industry and commerce, strict hierarchy.

This kind of rule must not be changed in His Majesty's day.

Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been very low, and they are not only not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but also not to wear silk.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, when the mind was so open.

How talented is the great poet Li Bai?

However, because his father was a merchant and he was the son of a merchant, Li Bai was not eligible to participate in the imperial examination.

After the Song Dynasty, until now, due to the influence of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the imprisonment of thought is even more serious, and only Confucianism is the right one, and no other voices are tolerated.

Zhu Qizhen never expected that his great reform, perfect commercial tax, and increase tax revenue for the Daming Empire would actually anger some imperial historians.

Perhaps it was not these imperial histories that were provoked, but Zhu Qizhen's resolute reforms, which touched the interests of certain groups.

The imperial historians believed that Zhu Qizhen violated the ancestral system, not only formulated a commercial tax system, but also improved the status of merchants, and even undermined the ancestral training of forbidden seas left by the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

They said that the emperor should abolish the commercial tax, continue to ban the sea, and abolish the Daming navy... Like a division commander, he taught the emperor that he could not do this and that he could not do it.

Zhu Qizhen was furious, what did these so-called rumor officials want to do?

However, Zhu Qizhen immediately realized that the reforms he had recently vigorously promoted had touched the interests of certain groups, which were now beginning their final struggle.

"The literati group, must be prevented, must not be cured!"

Zhu Qizhen is very clear that these self-proclaimed literati who are clear and clear look like they are clean and tall on weekdays.

The three sentences are inseparable from "for the sake of Jiangshan and the people", and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, this group of literati not only did not save the country, but stumbled up the emperor.

"A group of false Taoists is really abominable!"

Zhu Qizhen was angry when he saw it, these are all imperial historians, are they full and supported?

Isn't it hard enough to work hard enough?

You know, in the history of the Daming Dynasty, there are many kings who have not been in the dynasty for several years, and he can already be rated as a model worker in five days.

"I can't imagine that these imperial historians, they actually want to let the imperial court go to the dynasty every morning, and it is still after five o'clock in the morning, do you royal historians, want to die alive?"

"Xu postponed the time of the last dynasty, this was originally a matter of hello to the court minister and Xuan, and this group of imperial historians, actually want to restore the ancestral system?"

"Okay, if you want to restore the ancestral system, then I will restore the ancestral system for you!"

Zhu Qizhen thought of this, and waved a big wave on that fold: "Zhu Zhun playing, order the imperial historian officials of the upper fold to go to the dynasty every day, and if they are late once, they will deduct the January Yulu!"

"The time of the other court officials remains unchanged. "

"Look, I can't govern you yet?"

As for the abolition of the Daming Navy and the restoration of the ban on seas, it is even more ridiculous.

And now the Daming navy under Zheng Chenggong has beaten the Britons to the ground, and now the Britons and the Wakou of the Yan Kingdom are like grandchildren, what else is possible to come out and harm the coastal people?

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen's imperial ambition is far more than that.

He believed that in a few years, it would not be impossible for the Daming Navy to regain its strength, equip it with ocean-going warships, destroy the Sun Never Set Empire and the Yin Kingdom, dominate the sea, and dominate the world.

Xu Jie and Yan Song proposed to open the sea, and there was no problem.

Fishermen rely on the sea to eat, even if the sea is not opened, fishermen secretly go to sea, for decades, who can resist?

He implemented a policy of opening the sea, allowing fishermen to go out to sea, pay taxes, and increase the revenue of the national treasury.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen gave instructions on these twists and turns.

"Er and others said that the abolition of the sea ban policy will endanger the safety of the coastal people, well, wait for Er to find a group of pirates at sea that can harm the people, and Er will reopen the sea ban for you, if you can't find it, you won't come back." "

As for the removal of Yan Song and Xu Jie, it was simply wishful thinking!

Zhu Qizhen would never be able to do this now!

Without Yan Song and Xu Jie, who did Zhu Qizhen ask for silver?

These two old guys are now Zhu Qizhen's right arms, and he is still counting on Yan Song to help him govern the world, and Xu Jie is counting on Xu Jie to prosper the business of the Daming Empire and become his own cash cow.

If two famous ministers were removed, wouldn't it be a self-severed arm?

Do you really think that you can't make it because of a coma?

Moreover, what is wrong with the creation of a commercial tax system?

This group of imperial historian officials actually thought that Yan Song, Xu Jie and others were partial to businessmen, didn't this mean that Sang scolded Huai, and came around the corner to scold Shu?

Zhu Qizhen picked up the pen and gave instructions on these folds.

"Okay, if you want to deal with Yan Song and Xu Jie, you will follow, but before punishing Yan Song and Xu Jie, wait for Shu to pay eight hundred taels of tax. "

The rest of the twists and turns, Zhu Qizhen did not want to continue watching, he felt that if he continued to watch it, he might get a heart attack and would be angry to death.

At that time, he will become an emperor who died young, like his father Zhu Zhanji.

For the sake of good health, it is better not to look at the twists and turns of these imperial historians.

Zhu Qizhen is going to check these imperial historians, and see whose people they really are?

"Hmph, the dog that Xun raised, of course, wants to bite the person who is annoying, and now he actually runs out to bite the owner!"

When the dynasty is tomorrow, he will personally ask these imperial history of the Ming Dynasty above the court, what do they think, and who are the interest groups behind them?

In the evening, Zhu Qizhen summoned Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, in the Qianqing Palace, and when he heard that the silver in the treasury had bottomed out, less than five million taels, Zhu Qizhen's face couldn't help but change greatly.

At the beginning of the year, the family property of corrupt officials in the world was confiscated, but there were more than 50 million taels of silver, and it was only a few months, where did you get the silver?"

"Your Majesty, it's been more than half a year. "

"It costs more than ten million taels to build a border city, and more than thirty million taels to build the Daming navy, according to your will, in the territory of Daming, every prefecture and county will build a Daming money house, a total of more than 1,800 money houses, and also establish various commercial houses, and the treasury can leave more than five million taels of silver, all of which are still saved by tightening their belts. "

Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, snorted a few times, and felt aggrieved.

However, Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, did not dare to say directly, and could only hand over his hand: "Your Majesty, the Daming Empire wants to be built in an all-round way, and there are too many places to use silver money. "

"Ahem, Xu Ge Lao worked hard. "

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhu Qizhen coughed lightly.

Immediately, he frowned. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

Now, there is not enough silver in the treasury, and Zhu Qizhen originally planned to draw millions of taels of silver from the treasury to repair the water transport, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is too silted, and many sections of the river can only pass small boats, and large ships cannot pass.

Also, a lot of artillery research, the manufacture of steel battleships, all require a lot of silver.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, and asked, "If Xu raises all taxes by one percent and collects another eight million taels of silver, what does Xu Ge think?"

"Never, Your Majesty!"

Xu Jie hurriedly waved his hand: "If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the world." "

Listening to Xu Jie's advice, Zhu Qizhen had to dismiss the idea of increasing taxes.

"Your Majesty, Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, is waiting outside the palace. "

At this time, Wei Zhongxian walked in.

"Xuan. "

After Yan Song walked into the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen smiled and handed him and Xu Jie the Qingliu official's play.

"Elder Yan Ge, Elder Xu Ge, take a look, now His Majesty is afraid to warn those imperial historians, let them settle down a little. "

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems. "

Seeing that these were all approved by the emperor, Xu Jie frowned.

"Oh, Elder Xu Ge, what do you think?"

Yan Song asked, although he was not usually a person all the way, but the two faced the attack at the same time, he wanted to hear what the second assistant of the cabinet Xu Jie had to say........

Xu Jie said: "The two types of twists and turns of the forbidden sea and the ancestral system should indeed warn those imperial historians, to be a little more secure, and not to jump up and down like mad dogs, catching who bites whom." "

After a pause, Xu Jie pointed to another twist and turn and said: "But these business-related twists and turns, there are many meanings in them, Elder Yange, you can taste it seriously." "

Yan Song savored it.

These twists and turns, impeaching the two of them for accepting bribes from businessmen and safeguarding the interests of businessmen, indeed show a lot of different meanings.

"Before punishing Yan Song and Xu Jie, you conjured eight million taels of silver for Xuan. "

This is His Majesty's reply to the fold, and to put it very directly, this is not only to deter the imperial history, but also for the cabinet to see.

The implication is:

Let the two of them rest assured and do it boldly, and the emperor will be their backer, but they are in a hurry to spend the money, and they quickly make up eight million taels of silver for Xuan.

Yan Song wanted to vomit blood a little.

His Majesty invited him to come, or for the silver.

However, these eight million years of silver, such a huge amount of money, is not so easy to raise.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen drinking tea lightly, Yan Song's old eyes were hazy.

He pouted a few times, wanting to say something, but finally held back.

"Ahem..."

Zhu Qizhen coughed lightly twice and said: "Summoning Elder Yan Ge to come here, there is nothing serious, I just want to show you these folds, I want to tell you that I trust you and support you." "

"Your Majesty loves you. "

Yan Song and Xu Jie immediately bowed down.

"Well, let's go down the two pavilions. "

"Obey. "

The two bowed and exited the Qianqing Palace.

Walking on the road, Yan Song still turned his head and faced this political enemy with a smile.

"Elder Xu Ge, are you saying that His Majesty is warning those mad dog-like imperial officials to settle down a little by showing us those impeachment of the two of us?"

"This is clearly a hint to us, we must hurry up and get the silver, otherwise I am afraid that you and I will not be able to eat and go." "

"If someone gets eight million silver for His Majesty faster, you and I will probably have to go home and hold my grandson." "

Hearing this, Xu Jie also nodded.

"Elder Yan Ge got to the point, it's true. "

"Old Xu Ge, you are the first assistant, I am the second assistant, Your Majesty showed you and me such a fold, and it has already been approved, Your Majesty's meaning, it goes without saying." "

This time, Xu Jie and Yan Song agreed.

These former political enemies are being pulled on the same front.

Both of them knew very well that their main task now was to get money for Zhu Qizhen and the Daming Empire.

Therefore, they quickly want to reform Daming business.

Because both men knew that, after all, the wool would eventually come from the sheep, they decided not to rush to increase the commercial tax again, and they were ready to speed up the development of commerce.

In this way, the sheep's hair grows faster, and they cut the wool so that they can cut more and faster.

The two came to the cabinet side by side, talking and laughing, constantly discussing how to reform and prosper the commerce of the Ming Empire along the way.

5.6 Yan Song is not as familiar with commercial reform as the second assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie.

After all, it has always been Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, who has been in charge of this area, so he still decided to listen to Xu Jie's opinions first and then continue the discussion.

When Yan Song heard the emperor ask them to raise their taxes, suddenly raising them by eight million taels, he felt that the world was spinning.

That night, Yan Song returned home and shouted in his study:

"Your Majesty, raising the tax of eight million taels at once, this is simply difficult for the Shu Dao to go to the green sky, otherwise you simply sell the old minister, maybe you can make up a little more silver." "

Yan Song's complaints were recorded by the people of the East Factory in the evening.

On the second day, Zhu Qizhen just got up and knew about this matter.

He threw the fold to Cao Zhengchun, and said angrily: "This cabinet chief assistant and second assistant are both virtuous, they all say that they love to spend money, they can't change silver, or else, the two of them will sell it, exchange some silver?"

Cao Zhengchun knew that Zhu Qizhen was joking, and picked it up with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are only complaining a little, but when they really want to do it, they will still do their best, they don't dare to be sloppy, not to mention that there are slaves staring at Your Majesty there, they will definitely not mess around. "

"These two people won't mess around, but the account is written down." "

Zhu Qizhen smiled, thought of a way to knock Yan Song and Xu Jie, and beckoned: "Cao Zhengchun, come over, I have something to explain to you." "

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

After a whisper, Cao Zhengchun asked with some uncertainty.

"Good, this matter will be arranged as soon as possible, and it will not be delayed. "

Zhu Qizhen was quite sure.

Cao Zhengchun bowed his head and said yes, and said with a smile in his heart: "Elder Yan Ge, Elder Xu Ge, you two adults have to ask for blessings for yourselves." "
