.,

Emperor Hongzhi said, and picked up the report on hand.

These reports are all about Baoding chief envoy.

Remarkable political achievements are considered light, but there is no one before, and no one to come after.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It has been five years since Ouyang Qing's family entered Baoding. In the past five years, Baoding has made rapid progress, which is amazing. I try to encourage all officials to learn more from Ouyang Qing's family, be brave in doing things, and govern the local area. , report to the country, and go down to the people. I all know what Ouyang Qing’s family did in Baoding. There are countless roads and railways, the number of resettled people, and the number of children who go to school are also countless. Since Emperor Taizu Gao, even dating back to the pre-Qin period, are the great officials of ancient and modern frontiers like Ouyang Qing's family? "

Ouyang Zhi was expressionless.

Having made great achievements and received praise from the emperor, yet being able to be so calm is enough to convince everyone.

Fang Jifan took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, my son also read history, like Ouyang Zhi, no."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "It's all a great achievement. During the period of governing Baoding, I heard a lot of gossip, and I also heard many people's doubts about Ouyang Qing's family. I even almost mistrusted others. But these years, Today, I know that Ouyang Qing's family is right, these years have not been easy."

Fang Jifan said: "Yes, it's really not easy. Your Majesty, I feel the same about this. Over the years, I have been slandered many times. Some said I was lazy, some said I was greedy for money, and some said I There are those who are selfish, and some say that the ministers are messing around, and what is more, they say that the ministers are deceiving the emperor. It is because the ministers have been slandered by such rumors that they know that they have been wronged by others. It can be said that there are blood and tears. The past is unbearable to look back on. If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would not be able to withstand such pressure. Fortunately, my son has gradually stepped forward, knowing that as long as he wholeheartedly serves the country, the current emperor is wise, and he will clearly see right from wrong, so why bother with others Ouyang Zhi is a student of a student. The grievances he has suffered over the years can be seen by my son. He is dull by nature and not good at arguing with others. My son keeps telling him that Fang's family members deserve these grievances. , the incomprehension of outsiders, the slander of their rumors, and the criticisms of those with ulterior motives, why take it to heart, even if we are loyal to His Majesty, even if we cut off the head immediately, the body and the name will be destroyed, as long as it is beneficial The country, it will definitely not even blink, what are these small grievances?"

"Really?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi was numb.

In fact, when I first entered the palace, it was fine, my mind could barely keep up, but after listening to my teacher's call, my mind was already on the verge of crashing.

After a long time, he breathed out: "Yes, my teacher said so."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "How can I chill the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous men, and let the villains run rampant and talk nonsense. Even so, it is not easy for Ouyang Qing's family to make such a great contribution. A few days ago, Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, implored him to become an official , he is getting old and wants to take care of his life, I keep him again and again, but I can't bear to think of his hard work, Ouyang Qing's family is in Baoding, and he has such achievements. In addition, I am afraid that it is also related to being able to use people and being able to know people. I have considered for a long time the candidate for this official department minister. This official department is the post of a heavenly official. No. Ouyang Qing's family is my favorite candidate, let's wait for the court to make a public recommendation."

Fang Jifan was surprised.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials...

This Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a heavenly official, and his status is no longer below that of a cabinet scholar.

You must know that even if it is a head of the official department, no one dares to provoke it in Beijing, and it is the object of everyone's fawning.

Your Majesty actually...

Of course, this is just His Majesty's intention.

Such an important position, according to the rules, often needs to be recommended by the court, that is to say, the emperor holds a court meeting and asks the ministers to recommend it.

However, under normal circumstances, the emperor will communicate with the cabinet in advance, and then make a public recommendation. With the support of the cabinet ministers, as long as the candidate does not have a bad reputation and is strongly opposed by everyone, in general, there will be no problem. .

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi's face was calm, and after a while, he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "Ouyang Zhi, I'm going to criticize you as a teacher. Your Majesty is so kind, why don't you decline it? You must know that my teacher has always taught you to be humble, even though your colleagues are all chickens and dogs. , is not worth mentioning, but it is necessary to know the truth that a tree is more beautiful than a forest, and the wind will destroy it."

Ouyang Zhi: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi was amused: "Jifan, what are you talking about? Ouyang Qing's family is the real one. Since they are willing to accept it, there is no need to be hypocritical."

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Yes, yes, my son and minister will die."

As a heavenly official in the Ministry of Officials, His Majesty must be the most trustworthy person.

This authority is simply too great.

Therefore, everyone guessed that this official official must have come from the Hanlin official in Zhan Shifu when Emperor Hongzhi was the prince.

This is actually understandable, after all, the crown prince's official at the time, and his identity as a teacher and friend, was the most trusted by the emperor.

But who would have thought that it was Ouyang Zhi.

Yang Yiqing looked surprised.

In fact, for Yang Yiqing, an old fritter with ups and downs in his career, although he admires Ouyang Zhi, he will never be cold towards Ouyang Zhi

Not hot temperament, but very worried.

No matter how you look at it, Mr. Ouyang's temperament is mixed with officialdom, it doesn't look like a promising one.

Come to think of it, it must be his mentor Fang Jifan, please support him.

Without this mentor, he would have been torn to pieces long ago.

But now...Yang Yiqing had to think that he was blind.

Because the position of a heavenly official in the Ministry of Officials has completely exceeded the ability of his mentor, his mentor can protect him, but it is almost a dream to fight for the position of a heavenly official for him.

The only possibility is that Ouyang Zhijian has been 100% appreciated and recognized by His Majesty in the emperor's heart, as well as completely trusted in him.

Such a temperament, is it okay?

Once again, Yang Yiqing felt that his outlook on life and values ​​had completely collapsed.

Life...it's all water, and water has no shape, no shape, no change.

Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea: "It's just that I have always been suspicious. If Ouyang Qing's family enters Beijing and takes charge of the Ministry of Officials, but this new policy still needs to be implemented, who will succeed?"

He tapped the copybook lightly with his hand.

His eyes fell on Yang Yiqing.

For Yang Yiqing, he is still disgusted.

Emperor Hongzhi's memory of the microservice private inspections in Tongzhou and Baoding was particularly deep. Speaking of which, Yang Yiqing was still Ouyang Zhi's enemy. He thought that Ouyang Zhi would recommend the officials he promoted in Baoding Mansion. Ouyang Zhi taught them by himself, there is no reason why Ouyang Zhi should not recommend them.

But it never occurred to him that Ouyang Zhi recommended this person who was once hostile to him. The dispute between Tongzhou and Baoding was vivid in his memory.

Out of respect for Ouyang Zhi, Emperor Hongzhi decided to meet Yang Yiqing.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Ouyang Qing's family recommended Yang Qing's family, saying that Yang Qing's family is able to take charge of their own affairs and carry out the New Deal. They have made great achievements, are just, and have a clean shoulder. They are really rare pillars of talent."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqing felt a warm current in his heart.

To be honest, he resented Ouyang Zhi at the beginning, if it wasn't for him, why would he encounter such a change.

Only slowly, he realized that he was wrong, gradually understood these new policies and new learning, and was actually appreciated by Ouyang Zhi, who promoted him step by step, and now, even more so to the emperor for himself High rating.

Teacher Ouyang is really a sincere gentleman, his beauty is flawless.

Yang Yiqing's eyes were slightly red, and he kowtowed: "The old minister is ashamed, ashamed...ashamed...don't dare to do it!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yang Yiqing indifferently, but calmly held up a memorial on the case, and said calmly: "A few days ago, the provinces made a memorial, hoping that the tax will be changed to a whip method, and try to use silver as tax, change Yang Qing's family, what do you think of the situation of paying taxes in kind?"

Here comes the test.

Yang Yiqing was silent for a moment: "The fundamental reason for the advancement of these memorials is that since the New Deal in the country, inflation has been prevalent, and the price of silver and banknotes has become lower. Such inflation is beneficial. But for the local gentry However, it is harmful, so paying the silver tax is so urgent for them."

Yang Yiqing paused: "But for the imperial court, the loss of the tax in kind is too great, and most of the goods are in kind, and it is troublesome to allocate them. Therefore, to implement the new tax and adopt a whip method, for the imperial court and for the localities , is a mighty trend, and it has reached the point of imminence. Your Majesty will take advantage of the trend, and it will be of great benefit to the court and the provinces."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head slightly, this analysis of benefits and benefits is quite satisfactory and not pedantic.

Yang Yiqing said: "It needs to be implemented immediately, but the veteran thinks that it is too hasty, and the imperial court can change it gradually, step by step, first take a province, take the lead in trying, find out the problem, make corrections, and then push it to other provinces."

"Of course, the veteran believes that some taxes cannot be completely taxed in kind, such as grain. The so-called lack of grain is unstable. For the time being, it is better not to easily change this grain tax into silver. Otherwise, once a disaster occurs, when the time comes The price of food must be high. Even if the imperial court collects silver, there is a lot of silver that can be used for relief, but there is no grain. How can people stabilize people and stabilize prices? Jiangnan is an important town of food and taxation in the Ming Dynasty. The collection of food and taxes in Jiangnan is the bottom line of the court. , As for other cloth, silk, raw silk, pig iron, coal, wood, etc., it is all right to use silver as the price.”
