Jinyi champion

Chapter 622
Zhu Si belongs to reciprocating peaches and plums.

Zhu Hao is not only good at handling affairs, but also helps to make money. After Zhu Si ascended the throne, Zhu Hao raised more than [-] taels of silver, and this is not counting the shares of the imperial court in the bank and the official land of Huangzhuang. income.

No matter how you look at it, Zhu Hao should be the chief steward of the palace.

But for Zhu Hao...

But it is not a good thing.

Zhu Hao hastily declined: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the inner government should not be handled by foreign ministers."

"what?"

Zhu Si blinked and looked at the people who were looking at Zhu Hao with envy.

The obvious thing.

The Inner Mansion of Ming Dynasty is not only concerned with the affairs of the internal treasury, there are also twenty-four yamen and nine thousand court ladies. As a normal man, how could Zhu Hao frequently come and go in and out of the court?

Shouldn't you also consider the actual situation before looking for the big housekeeper?You can hand over the household department or the warehouse to me, why do you want to hand over the management of the inner government?

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu means that there must be a special person in the palace to take care of the inner palace, otherwise...some things are inconvenient for Mr. Zhu to do."

"Oh, that's it, that's okay."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "They are all on our own, who is with whom, in the future, you can watch and dispatch the people in the palace. If there is any inconvenience, let the people from the East Factory assist you...Zhu Hao, what do you think?" ?”

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao with narrow eyes after hearing this.

It seems to be saying, your kid is going to be the chief eunuch.

Zhu Hao's attitude was firm: "Your Majesty, if it's just about the treasury, I can help you, but if it involves palace affairs, your Majesty should ask another wise man, I will do my best to help."

"I know, I know."

Zhu Si waved his hand impatiently, "I don't feel relieved to leave it to others. I will let Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin obey your orders in the future. I will leave all the account books to you, and I will set up a yamen in the palace alone. Just handle official business in the yamen, and keep it highly confidential to the outside world, if something happens, I will find someone to communicate with you."

……

……

Even if Zhu Hao declined, Zhu Si still insisted on handing over the financial power of the inner government to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao is not in charge of the eunuchs and court ladies, but the money and supplies must be handed over to Zhu Hao.

Not only because Zhu Hao can make money, but also because Zhu Hao, a classmate and teacher who grew up with him, has won the trust of Zhu Si. At least so far, Zhu Hao has devoted himself to making money for the court, or for the emperor. For any selfishness, Zhu Hao even used his family wealth to supplement the shortfall of the inner government.

On this point, even if Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin had conflicts, it was useless.

In the past, they were all confined to one side of Xingwang's mansion, with limited vision and poor management skills. Just this auction of the new exploration coal mine made them feel inferior.

Zhu Hao's network among merchants is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, and he has a first-class appeal in raising money and food. What's more... the ghost knows how he used to explore a coal mine with rich reserves in such a short period of time. Half Immortal, can normal people compare?
At the following celebration banquet, Zhu Si ordered hot pot.

Everyone usually eats hot pot, and they are definitely not as cautious as they are today.

Everyone felt very honored by Zhu Si's presence, but they were restrained when they ate, and they were not so happy. They had to behave in front of the emperor, and they couldn't overdo it.

"Zhu Hao, how do you explain how old man Yang will trouble me at the Tianchao meeting? You have to think of a countermeasure for me after eating, and I have to fight them hard tomorrow."

Zhu Siruo was a newborn calf, and he held back all his energy to fight with civil servants.

Zhu Hao pondered for a while, and said: "I estimate that Mr. Yang Ge will stand by and watch tomorrow."

"impossible?"

Zhu Si stared wide-eyed.

All the people next to him dropped their chopsticks.

During the meal, if you suddenly talk about the business in the court, even if you are enjoying the imperial meal, you have to stop first.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The matter of auctioning the coal mine was proposed by Mr. Yang Ge himself. He couldn't stand up and slap himself at the court meeting tomorrow, right? Even if this move violated the rules of the court, it is because of Mr. Yang Ge's bad rules." First of all, maybe tomorrow Yang Ge will stand by His Majesty's side and have a good argument with those who come forward to find fault."

"Haha, if that's the case, it would be interesting."

Zhu Si was elated when he heard that.

Obviously, what happened today has really tricked Yang Tinghe.

Zhang Zuo asked puzzledly: "Mr. Zhu, how did you get Elder Yang to agree to auction the coal kiln?"

Zhu Si raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Zuo's words: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. This is the strategy Zhu Hao discussed with me. In short, the matter of selling coal mines is now on the right track. I will discuss it with those who find fault tomorrow. Is it the money that matters, or the so-called rules.”

……

……

The next day.

In the Forbidden City, Tang Yin was ordered to go to Fengtian Hall to attend the court meeting.

It was not the first time for Tang Yin to go to court, the officials present knew him well and understood why he came.

As Zhu Hao expected.

At the beginning of the court discussion, no one mentioned yesterday's auction of coal mines by the Armor Factory.

It's better to wait until the major issues are discussed, and Zhu Si will take the initiative to raise the matter.

"...Yesterday, I asked the new member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang Tang Qing, to hold a special auction in the square in front of the armor factory. I proposed to open a coal mine in Xishan at the beginning of the year to fill the gap in the court's expenditure, especially It is to make up for the shortage of money and food in the southeast coast, and finally it has achieved results...Three coal mines have been sold for nearly [-] taels of silver, Tang Qing's contribution to the household is extremely great!"

Tang Yin came out from the back of all the ministers, bowed down to salute, and accepted the emperor's praise frankly.

Zou Wensheng, the right servant of the household department, came out immediately: "Your Majesty, Tang Yin's actions disturbed the court, please correct him in time."

Before Zou Wensheng came out, Tong Rui, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, was eager to try.

This reflects the strategy of the civil service group.

Yang Tinghe and several cabinet scholars can't jump out to object, and the six ministers, Tong Zhengshi, Zuodu Yushi and other big bosses can't come forward. The important right servant came forward to take the lead.

Although Zou Wensheng and Tong Rui are the servants of the six departments, they are not hall officials in the traditional sense.

One of them is in charge of managing the military pay of the Xuanfu, and the other is mainly in charge of building Kangling. They are often not in the capital, especially Zou Wensheng. He just took over the position of the right servant of the household department at the end of the year. Come and run around, begging for money, food, and military pay. Today, I was notified that he should lead the battle, so I charged at this moment.

Zhu Si frowned and asked, "Zou Qing's family, do you think I did something wrong?"

This question is straightforward.

Zou Wensheng held up the wat board and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the stability of our dynasty lies in maintaining the stability of the dynasty's outline and legal system. Xishan is where the dragon vein of my Ming Dynasty lies, and it must not be moved!"

The debate took a different direction.

Let me tell you the importance of rules first, but the focus of the explanation is to open coal mines in Xishan to destroy the "dragon vein" of Ming Dynasty.

This involves a historical allusion.

Why are there coal mines in Xishan, but the government-run mines in Ming Dynasty failed to mine in Xishan?It's all because Xishan is the rumored place where the dragon spirit gathers in the capital, which involves the legitimacy of Emperor Taizong's position.

Zhu Si scolded in his heart.

What a bunch of shameless villains!
Knowing what the rules are, Old Man Yang will be involved. After all, Old Man Yang proposed to auction the coal kiln first, but now he is talking to me about the fact that the Western Mountain is connected to the Dragon Vessel?
Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe and the others standing beside him, and asked, "Mr. Yang Ge knows the affairs of the court best, such as astronomy and calendar, and I think he has dabbled in it. Mr. Yang Ge, tell me, it's exactly as Zou Qing's family said, Is Xishan really where my Daming Dragon Vein is?"

Yang Tinghe came out and said: "Return to Your Majesty, there is such a saying."

"That means, Xishan is not suitable for mining?" Zhu Si asked.

"This……"

It was obvious that Yang Tinghe secretly instructed the court officials to object, but at this time he could not express his attitude publicly, and seemed very hesitant, "This matter should be discussed in the long run."

Zhu Sidao: "Don't tell me what to think, if Xishan is really connected to the Daming Dragon Vein, those people who opened mines in Xishan before, didn't they steal my Daming Dragon Vein? They have ulterior motives!

"Who is there specifically? I heard people say that there are people with titles in Daming, and there are quite a few people who opened mines in the Western Mountains. I heard that there are many of the families of the gentlemen present..."

Destroy the dragon veins?

joke!

I am the real dragon emperor, if someone is mining in Anlu, I will be anxious to them.

But here in the capital, I'm a stealer, if I don't dig out the dragon's veins, I won't be able to secure my throne.

Now that I have made money selling coal mines, you civil servants are starting to tell me about the dragon veins. Why didn’t you tell me when others were digging?

Tong Rui, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said: "Your Majesty, if the dragon veins of the Western Mountain are damaged, and the fate of the Ming Dynasty is affected by it, it may not end well."

"Ha ha."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "It's okay, the big deal is that I will have people close all the coal mines in Xishan at that time... Anyway, the coal mines are sold to the people, and I will not be blamed for the loss."

Jiang Mian came out to persuade: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then selling the Xishan Coal Kiln to the people will be a disgrace to the imperial court."

Zhu Si stared fiercely at the following: "What do you mean? I sold the coal mine just because it might damage the dragon's veins, so I want to abolish the transaction?"

Mao Ji also came forward: "Your Majesty, mines belong to the country's wealth and cannot be resold to others easily!"

After speaking, Zhu Si was a little speechless.

Zhu Hao's established strategy did not involve the part in front of him.

All the civil servants found another way to complicate a simple question. Zhu Si held his breath, but found that the direction of the debate was wrong from the beginning, which made him very anxious.

"Gentlemen, do you also think so? Do you think that I should take back all the coal mines in Xishan and put them there without developing them? Even if the money can fill the gap in the southeast coast defense, it won't work?" Zhu Si looked at the scene Minister.

Yet another question.

The ministers present knew very well that this was the result of a game between Yang Tinghe and the emperor.

What dragon veins are not dragon veins is bluffing.

It might be better to say that Yang Tinghe felt that the sale of the coal kiln allowed the little emperor to gain financial power, and wanted to take the opportunity to deprive the little emperor of the opportunity to obtain wealth. The damage to the dragon's veins was just an excuse.

Even if many people don't agree with Yang Tinghe and others' statement, the problem is... whoever speaks for the little emperor at this time is like standing on the opposite side of the entire civil official group!
Difficult.
