Chapter 792 Who is the king and who is the minister?

In fact, Sun Jiao told Zhao Huang in disguise that it was best not to mention this matter.

But Zhao Huang was just like Sun Jiao, he never flinched when things went wrong, and he directly told the story of the new emperor's secret building of the train at the court meeting the next day.

There was no uproar in the court, but something strange.

Everyone knows that the emperor sent people to mine, but what is it to build something that can run along the railroad tracks?Engage in inventions and creations?
Is this what the emperor should do?
Let us come out and oppose, we don't understand either.

Zhu Si sighed: "If Zhao Qing's family doesn't say anything, I plan to talk about it after a while... I'm really building a train."

Zhao Huang said: "Your Majesty, such a waste of time and money..."

Zhu Si raised his hand to interrupt what Zhao Huang was about to say, but his tone was not too anxious: "You said it was a waste of people and money. How dare you ask who was hurt and whose money was hurt? Has the Ministry of Households allocated a penny for this matter?"

As the emperor turned his attention to Sun Jiao, many people realized that the instigator of this discussion was not old man Sun.

Originally, many people thought that although Zhao Huang was a neutral faction in the court, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were actually one. The method of making suggestions is a bit like Sun Jiao's previous words against the emperor's increase in spending on southeast coastal defense.

Zhu Si smiled and said, "This rule is really a basket, everything can be put in it, but anything that dissatisfies you is not in compliance with the rules, is it? Are you going to say next step, if I don't agree to mine The things produced in the kiln are used for the imperial court's expenses, so you will not allow me to open mines? The next step is to find a group of people to play, saying that I open mines to compete with the people for profit? Haha, I really recognize your face ah."

Zhao Huang was about to continue, Zhu Siqian said: "I know that some people should be suspicious, that is, I allocated money and food from the inner government, but it is not true. Speaking of which, the money and food allocated by the Ministry of Household this year to the inner government, add up There is not much money and food allocated from the inner government to the Northwest, and the inner government has no surplus now."

He was really used as a gun by someone, or he sent it to his door to be used on his own initiative. Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?
"If I want to take the mine back, I will not agree. If I have the ability to find someone to drive it... I have the right to distribute the things produced by the industry under my name. But I don't care about official land and imperial stores. From next year, I can temporarily transfer this income to the Ministry of Households, and then the Ministry of Households will allocate it to the inner government, so there should be no problem, right? Retire!"

Jiang Mian said: "The income of the inner government mainly comes from the official land, Huangzhuang, Huangdian and other industries, which is also the inherent foundation of the imperial court."

Where did the emperor's usual expenses come from?

Could it be that Zhao Huang thought that Sun Jiao's move would be effective, allowing the Ministry of Households to rise rapidly in the court, and the Ministry of Industry wanted to follow the example of the gourd?
Sun Jiao came out and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs is not involved in this matter."

Jiang Mian said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, it is so against the rules."

Zhu Si said the words with a smile, but there was a sense of sadness in his tone.

A debate between monarchs and ministers.

Now the conflict erupted completely.

No balance?

Now it's time to be cannon fodder.

Jiang Mian was also a little annoyed when he heard this, and his tone was aggressive: "Your Majesty, the mines opened in the name of the imperial court, no matter whether the Ministry of Households allocates money or manpower to build them, always use the relationship and resources of the imperial court. The imperial court, in fact, belongs to you, Your Majesty."

Previously, the courtiers opposed the emperor's mining. Although they acquiesced in the end to allow the emperor to open the mine, everyone felt that the emperor's mining behavior would not have any results, and would eventually stop abruptly.

Zhu Si said angrily: "Then you still have the face to tell me this? Don't say that the mining is not carried out by me allocating funds from the court. Even if it is, it is justified. Why are you pretending to me? Isn't it because I saw that I made money from opening mines?" Yinzi, do you want to take the mine back to the imperial court? Let a minister of the Ministry of Industry come out to play, thinking that I don't know how much you spend your time thinking?"

The ministers were a little confused, why is Jiang Mian coming out to speak for Zhao Huang at this time?Could it be that Zhao Huang is no longer a fencer, but chose to turn to the light and lean on Yang Shoufu's side?
Zhu Si smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang Ge, I don't quite understand what you mean... Northwest ordnance casting has always had a fixed source. I opened a coal kiln in Xishan and an iron kiln in Yongping. Many people opposed it. I'm not optimistic about what I can achieve, but in mining, I didn't ask the court to pay a penny, just like this, all the iron produced will be used for the court's expenses?"

His eyes were burning, as if he wanted to kill someone!
Jiang Mian was very rude: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's subjects on the shore of the land, but the king's land and the king's subjects still belong to the court."

……

The emperor did not give the ministers a chance to continue arguing.

The emperor's public expression of dissatisfaction with his courtiers made many ministers feel tremendous pressure.

The emperor was willful and went away in a huff. It seemed that the courtiers had won, but in fact it also reflected the incompetence of the courtiers.

Zhu Si impatiently ended the court meeting.

He finally understood what Sun Jiao meant by "causing a show".

With the help of Zhao Huang's performance, Jiang Mian taught the emperor a good lesson.

Zhu Si's tone gradually became cold.

But no matter what, the emperor explained in public that the imperial court was useless, so the so-called waste of people and money was not valid, so Zhao Huang's performance was meaningless, probably at this time, Zhao Huang should stop when it's time to go back. Too much to say.

At this time, Jiang Mian came out with a heavy expression on his face: "Your Majesty, last year when troops were used in the northwest, the frontier army still lacks weapons. If there are iron weapons, they should be used for armaments instead of misappropriating them."

In fact, it was very difficult for Zhao Huang to propose anything.

Zhu Sidao: "As for the building of the train, I believe that as long as the manpower and material resources of the court are not used, everything is reasonable and reasonable. I don't need to explain to you. As for what you say about competing for profits with the people, let the people who are fighting for profits Come out and say it yourself, I can hand over the mine to them, and see who can maintain the mine!
"The mine is nothing in the hands of the folks. Only in my hands can it shine. If you don't believe it, find someone to try it!
"As for you wanting me to stop mining, it's better to say it directly. Anyway, it's not once or twice. I also put my word here. If you want to stop this matter, you should first weigh your own identities. Anyway, I am determined not to do so. Agreed!"

"Ha ha."

Zhu Sidao: "Then what belongs to me?"

What I mean is that you are aiming at me and want me to follow the line you set out, but if I decide on my own, you have to make all kinds of nonsense, right?
At this time, Zhao Huang, who was the instigator, couldn't help but cast a glance at Sun Jiao.

As a result, now that the emperor had opened up the way to open the mine, the ministers used Zhao Huang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to make a presentation, hoping that the emperor would hand over the mine to the court to take care of it, which left people with a feeling that the courtiers were unreasonable.

Zhao Huang's bowels are turning green right now.

Is the whole palace drinking northwest wind?
Who believes it?
Zhu Si continued: "As for trains, what is used is nothing more than iron and coal. Iron can be used to make train rails, locomotives, frames, wheels, etc., and coal is used to burn to push the train forward. The things produced in the coal mines and the iron mines in Yongping Prefecture did not use much capital."

……

Jiang Mian felt very relieved, but when he turned his head to look at Yang Tinghe, he found that Yang Tinghe's face was full of helplessness. Obviously, the process and result of Jiang Mian's argument with the emperor were not what Yang Tinghe wanted to see.

It is understandable to use iron to make the car shell, and burn coal to propel the train... How is this done?
I have only heard of using coal to burn a stove, but I have never heard of burning coal and running away. Is this fooling us as literati who don't understand the craftsman's tricks?

It's a head-to-head confrontation.

But Jiang Mian didn't show any signs of fear, and continued to say, "Your Majesty, even if the mining was done by the inner government, it also used the manpower and material resources of the inner government. How can it be regarded as having nothing to do with the court?"

"Hey, listen to Mr. Jiang Ge, is my imperial palace also the capital of the imperial court, and any benefits generated by the imperial palace have become the end of the capital? Is it true that I have put everything in Huangzhuang, Huangdian and so on? Hand it over to the imperial court, no matter how much I produce, the imperial court still feels that I earned it by relying on the emperor's face, and it is still unjust and fair, and I still have to hand it over to the imperial treasury?"

After hearing this, Zhu Si felt an eye-opening feeling.

Jiang Mian is the second assistant of the cabinet. He represents the cabinet, and can even be said to represent the will of Yang Tinghe.

"The imperial court belongs to His Majesty." Jiang Mian said.

Zhu Sidao: "Hey, I can't agree with Jiang Ge's words. The imperial court is the imperial court, and I am myself. The household department and the inner government are still separated. How come the mine is opened? If I find someone to open the mine, all the output must be returned to the imperial court. ? Couldn’t it be that I arrange people to take care of it myself, be responsible for the profits and losses, and arrange and dispose of the things produced by myself?”

After hearing this, everyone knew that the reason why the emperor opened the mine was to build this kind of train and be self-sufficient?

Zhu Si smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang Ge, you are really wrong about this. My inner mansion supports so many people. In the past, the imperial court allocated money and food every year. As I said earlier, this year the inner mansion will transfer to the imperial court. It’s more than what the imperial court gave, so does this count as the inner mansion supporting outsiders, or the outsiders supporting the inner mansion?”

If he hadn't insisted on coming out to play this matter, it wouldn't have caused the emperor and Cifu to quarrel in public at the court meeting. In fact, it was nothing if you think about it carefully. The emperor found someone to open the mine by himself. Why did he, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, come out to trouble the emperor without knowing his own interests?

It is completely reasonable for civil servants to do this against nobles or private mining merchants.

But now it has been captured by the emperor...

Don't you know that the first level of officials crushes people to death?
The emperor can't suppress Yang Tinghe, but it's okay to suppress most of the courtiers, right?Besides, even if Yang Tinghe is not a courtier of the emperor?

Now it seems that the profits of Huangzhuang and Huangdian have been won, but the courtiers, especially the cabinet princes, failed in the field of public opinion.
