Chapter 533 Dilemma
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

After the morning court ended that day, Zhu Si once again summoned the four cabinet ministers.

First, let's talk about the appointment and dismissal of court personnel.

"My lords, after Zhao Huang, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the post of Minister, the position left by him has been vacant. Originally, this vacancy can be considered in the long term, and it may not be rushed for a while, but now it involves the construction of Kangling and the supervision of river construction. , all things are complicated, I want to fix the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, so as to avoid a backlog of affairs of the Ministry of Industry, which will also worry all the nobles in the court."

The emperor wanted to arrange more people to the court to enhance his voice.

On this matter, the few people present basically had no opinion.

Zhu Sidao: "If you think it is feasible, I suggest that Yin Tongrui of Shuntian Mansion take up this position... He is mature and prudent, and he should be qualified for this job. If you agree, then I will find someone to propose it in the court tomorrow, or Find a few people to compare their abilities with, Ting Tui decides."

The new emperor gave Yang Tinghe a lot of face. When it came to the appointment of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, he even called several cabinet ministers to discuss first.

Yang Tinghe nodded.

This matter can be regarded as a decision made first, and Tong Rui was chosen as an alternative, and he was also the most popular candidate. Did he say something else in the end?

After talking about this matter, it will soon involve more important matters, that is to add the head of the household department.

"...Mr. Yang Ge, this is a joint report from the household department to Shao Xi and others in the matter. It proposes that I should add a new head to the household department to be responsible for the disposal of Huangzhuang's land. It violates the etiquette and law. Please take it back. , take a look."

Zhu Si was very polite, and handed over directly to Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe already knew the content of it, how could he not know whether those people jointly signed the play, or he secretly sent someone to instigate it?
Mao Jidao: "This move is also to not violate the old system, or there may be merits..."

The words are very polite, and there are merits, which means that you, the emperor, should retreat in the face of difficulties, and don't keep thinking about doing some tricks. Isn't it good to be the emperor honestly?
Zhu Sidao: "I also think what they say is reasonable, and I have issued an order to inquire, since no new officials will be added to the Ministry of Households to supervise this matter, how should we solve the problem?
"In the past, the people in charge of Huangzhuang were all considered traitors around the late emperor, and they were expelled together. Now that the farmland in Huangzhuang is idle, it seems that there is only one way to sell it? Is it going to be handed over to the Dudu Mansion again, and let them use it at a low price? The way to sell it is to make it cheaper for those rich and powerful ministers, so that the court suffers?"

When Mao Ji heard it, something was wrong, and it was not a good strategy to raise objections without proposing a specific solution, so I will not speak.

Whoever mentioned it and asked who to solve it? Didn't you, Yang Zhongtang, do this?

Yang Zhongtang, who are you not going to go to at this time?

The problem was thrown to Yang Tinghe.

After reading the memorandum, Yang Tinghe said cautiously: "Maybe it can be handed over to someone else in the household department, and there is no need to set up a special official position."

"also."

Zhu Si agreed without hesitation, "My request for tens of thousands of hectares of land is very simple. Either continue to take care of it and not increase the burden on the court, or sell it to increase the revenue of the treasury. It is lower than the price of good ripe fields at the beginning of the year.

"Time is running out now. I heard that wheat millet is mostly planted in the northern fields, and the seeds will be planted after autumn. Farming cannot afford delays. Otherwise... these fields will be barren. First, it will reduce the harvest of the imperial court. The most benevolent land, the Huangzhuang farmland is abandoned there, it is inevitable to make people laugh."

Yang Tinghe instantly felt that the little emperor's attack was extraordinary.

Give a goal, let you implement it according to this goal, the goal is not too far away, but you will not be provided with funds and manpower, let you solve it yourself, if you can't solve it, you will be accused...

What a bastard who obeyed the rules!
We use rules to suppress you, so you use rules to rule us?

Zhu Si further said: "Mr. Yang Ge, this matter is a bit tricky. I don't want it to be resolved in a short while. In my opinion, I can hire tenants to come back to farm first, and it won't be too late to deal with it slowly. This matter requires a powerful person. Hosting is not allowed. How about this, I heard that your son is very talented and knowledgeable, and has always been respected in Hanyuan, why not let him temporarily hold this job until the end of the year, I also want to give him a chance to do practical things, what do you think?"

Yang Tinghe wanted to hit someone when he heard this.

You know it's very tricky, but you let my son do this job?

The rest of the cabinet ministers could hear that the emperor was clearly trying to create a problem for Yang Tinghe. The peaceful and pleasant conversation between the monarch and his ministers created a tense atmosphere.

Zhu Sixu hid the knife in his smile, and slowly poked a murder sword in front of Yang Tinghe.

Of course Yang Tinghe could hear the anger in the words of the new emperor.

I kindly proposed to add a new person in charge of the household department, but I didn’t say who to take over. For the sake of partisan strife, you directly find someone to stop me. That’s fine. Don’t you think this position should not be increased?Then you come up with a solution!

There is no way to fart, and I don't want to solve the problem. I just want to sell the land at a low price and take the money back to the household department. From then on, there will be no hidden dangers of Huangzhuang, but the problem is who will bear the loss of selling Huangzhuang cheaply?
Yuan Zonggao came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of veterans, it is still necessary to add a head to the household department."

At this time Yuan Zonggao was also having a headache. Now the two sides are riding a tiger, and the atmosphere of confrontation is full of exaggeration. The new emperor and Yang Tinghe do not want to retreat, and the situation is deadlocked. Then only I, Yuan, will come out to be the peacemaker. Let's take a step back. How are you?
Zhu Si asked: "Mr. Yuan Ge, can you be the master of this matter? With so many objections, if I go my own way and want to add a head of the household department, wouldn't it be a mess to the court rules? It's better to deal with it with the existing people. ... I also don't want to get a reputation for being self-willed when I succeed to the throne."

If it was said that the little emperor still hid his sword in his smile before, now it is a pity.

"Although things can be discussed in the long term, don't delay until after the autumn sowing. Let the household department and the people in the court discuss whether it is necessary to increase the position. If there is a need, think about who will take up this responsibility. , I don’t want to get a bad name of nepotism, anyone can do it, just don’t find someone related to Xingwang’s mansion... That’s it. Ladies and gentlemen, let someone send you away..."

……

……

It was another summons from the inner court that broke up unhappy.

Yang Tinghe held back his anger, and at the same time heard that it was imperative to increase the head of the household department, and finding someone to oppose this, not only did not have the effect of deterring the little emperor, but buried himself in a pit.

Not to mention the tension in the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, he was also criticized by the emperor for not finding a solution. He thought that Yang Tinghe was arbitrarily arbitrarily ruling the court, regardless of the interests of the court.

On the issue of great rituals, Yang Tinghe could stand on the moral high ground and criticize the little emperor's misconduct, but in this case, the little emperor turned against the guest, standing on the moral high ground and sharply criticizing them, the civil servants who control the order of the Ming Dynasty.

"Jiefu, look..."

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Mian couldn't help asking Yang Tinghe for his opinion to see if there was a need for a compromise.

Yang Tinghe knew that Yuan Zonggao was around and it was inconvenient to speak, but he still did not avoid suspicion: "How many people do you think will be needed to dispose of the Huangzhuang farmland without increasing the manpower, or to continue to manage the business?"

"One hundred people?"

Mao Ji tentatively said a number.

Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, this is only on the surface, some private fields, plus the operation of the manor, and all kinds of bad things, it is not enough for a hundred people to take care of it.

Yang Tinghe asked again: "Then how many people do you think the Ministry of Households can allocate to take care of this matter?"

Jiang Mian next to him replied with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for only one person."

The few people present knew very well that the people in the Ministry of Households lived on their salaries, and the court did not increase funds or send manpower to assist them. It was simply impossible for the officials with specific duties in the Ministry of Households to free up their hands to solve this matter. .

Previously, Yang Tinghe handed over the disposal of Huangzhuang to the Dudu Mansion because he really couldn't find any manpower, so he might as well use the profit as a bait to let the people of the Dudu Mansion profit from it. It’s also cheaper for those nobles, selling their favors, and increasing the income of the Ministry of Households...

It was a good idea at first, but I don’t know why it was known by the emperor. It stands to reason that even if the emperor finds out the inside story, he should wait until the Huangzhuang farmland is sold out. The incident was noticed by the emperor and stopped at the beginning.

Right now, the emperor is facing even more problems. Either continue to manage the Huangzhuang without manpower, or sell the fields and the market price of the fields in the capital at the beginning of the year shall prevail.

is it possible?

Yang Tinghe suddenly thought of something and asked, "Who was coordinating this matter in the Governor's Mansion earlier?"

Jiang Mian suddenly understood, and asked tentatively, "Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Marquis?"

When Yang Tinghe heard this, he almost wanted to vomit blood, how could he forget about this pair of living treasure brothers?With interests at the forefront, they rely on the support of their sister, Queen Mother Zhang, and the merits of supporting the new emperor. Of course, they stole this kind of oily errand in their hands. With their flamboyant personalities, it's no wonder that people don't know about it.

But if you ask in advance and find a low-key honorable person to take charge of the matter, it will not be known by the new emperor so quickly and be stopped quickly.

It is precisely because the two brothers of Zhang's family don't care about selling their sons, and their arrogant and domineering appearance annoys the new emperor who has just ascended the throne and is restrained everywhere, so that the new emperor's counterattack is so fast, so many ministers can't get down on this matter.

"Design!" Yang Tinghe made a decision immediately, "Add a head to the household department. If everything goes well, this position will be abolished in a short time."

Jiang Mian heard the crux of the problem, and quickly asked: "Does that mean that the Huangzhuang farmland must be sold? Instead of continuing to manage it?"

Yang Tinghe said: "It is impossible for the court to allocate so many people, and it will not support so many idlers! This long-standing evil should be eradicated at once!"
