Jinyi champion

Chapter 827

The emperor's conditions sound good, but to the orthodox civil servants, they sound like nonsense.

On the condition that the Xishan Coal Mine is handed over to the Ministry of Household Management, in exchange for the emperor's financing for the society.

For Yang Tinghe, the conditions were acceptable, but he didn't want to break the rules. He naturally thought of the emperor's reaction to opening a coal mine with merchant capital.

He can agree first, and then stop when the matter reaches a critical point.

The emperor wants to keep his promises, but he didn't say that the ministers should keep his promises. Anyway, as long as I, Yang, feel uncomfortable, then I will fight hard and let you take back your life.

Zhu Si seemed to be aware of this, and reminded: "Your gentlemen, my ugly words are up front, but you can't agree today and go back on it later. And I don't want to delay this matter indefinitely. It's best to do it now I made a decision, if the funds are not enough, I will borrow some from other places, after all, the train and railway should be built as soon as possible. In short, the court does not need to pay money."

The emperor's attitude was firm, and there was a bit of threat in his tone.

If you don't agree, I will still build it, and now I'm giving you a chance to put my money bag back under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

On such a major matter, neither Sun Jiao, Zhao Huang, nor Jiang Mian who was on the side had the right to express their views.

……

Jiang Mian nodded, accepting Yang Tinghe's statement.

The mine opened by Jin Yiwei was under Zhu Hao's jurisdiction, and they had heard about the output of that mine, who wouldn't want to reap some benefits from it?

In the government office, Jiang Shantong and Mou Dazhi met Lou Suzhen.

For Yang Tinghe, he didn't want to express his attitude. He knew that the little emperor was messing around, but now he had no better choice. He had to ask someone else to make this decision for him.

After Jiang Shantong sent the people away, Mou Dazhi entered the room and asked, "Master Tongzhi, you won't agree to the request of those people, will you?"

Mou Dazhi complimented: "Tong Jiang knows that you have a great vision."

Jiang Shantong dragged Mou Dazhi to the magistrate's yamen.

But in Yang Tinghe's view, there are some things that cannot be preceded, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Being a secondary assistant university scholar is so tiring, if you really become the first assistant in the future, will you still use this day?

Over and over again, it seems to make sense.

Only Jiang Mian was left alone with Yang Tinghe, and Jiang Mian asked directly: "You should have expected that Zhitong would not cooperate, right? In my opinion, Jiefu, you should be more inclined to agree to His Majesty's conditions."

……

Only Yang Tinghe is qualified to answer the emperor's questions.

Sun Jiao reminded: "Mr. Yang Ge, if you have an opinion, just say it, even if you disagree."

Yang Tinghe didn't answer this question directly.

"Okay, let me go to see the magistrate!"

What can be negotiated now has not been negotiated, and it may not be discussed again in the future, so let’s talk about the things that have been negotiated.

Yang Tinghe said: "You want to ask me why you didn't promise His Majesty directly?"

Yang Tinghe wanted to refute the emperor's words.

You want to use me as a gunman, but my grandson still doesn't agree.

Isn't everything in this world like this?
Profit and loss must be distinguished from different angles.

Zhu Si shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Okay then, since that's the case, from now on, gentlemen, don't tell me about the Xishan Coal Mine anymore. As for whether the mine will be opened in the future, let's talk about it!"

Previously, they opened mines for the new magistrate, and all they did was physical work, without seeing any results. The most they could do was to get some money from the money allocated by Zhu Hao, so naturally they didn't have to go to the mine to supervise the workers.

Yang Tinghe was more or less on guard against Jiang Mian.

For Yang Tinghe, he could accept it or not. Anyway, there was still a chance to prevent the emperor from opening the mine in the future. Sooner or later, the Xishan Coal Mine would fall under the control of the imperial court.

"I don't know how the magistrate's condition is recently? If there is any inconvenience for him, it's better to leave the matter to the lower officials and others. It's not a problem for these people from the magistrate's yamen to help take care of the mine." Jiang Shan Tong volunteered.

Jiang Mian is going to be the chief assistant in the future, so naturally he can't easily come out to express his opinion, so he can only use Sun Jiao as a gun again, does your Sun Jiao still care about reputation?

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said: "I asked a knowledgeable person, and I learned that the cost of iron and steel alone is extremely huge, and the iron ore output of Yongping Mansion alone is definitely not enough. Perhaps His Majesty will hand over the iron ore and coal mine at the same time. To the Ministry of Housing, the purpose is to extract materials from the warehouse of the Ministry of Housing to assist in the construction of trains, the emperor's intention is not simple."

How many days have passed?
When Zhu Hao asked them to open the mine together, everyone thought that Zhu Hao was doing something wrong, and they were still wondering when Zhu Hao would be cleaned up by Jin Yiwei and fled back to the capital in desperation. Pingfu, and the prefect of Yongping Prefecture is going to be promoted to preside over the mining business?
The changes in the court are too fast, right?

Jiang Mian asked: "You mean, Your Majesty is making a big deal out of small things?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "The mine in Yongping Mansion is actually given to the Ministry of Accounts to manage it. It depends on how the Ministry of Accounts manages. I hope that the mine will not continue, and your Majesty's idea of ​​opening a mine will be cut off!"

Didn't you let me make the decision?Then I will follow the wishes of your civil officials and disagree with this matter.

Jiang Mian said: "But what if His Majesty insists on promoting the construction of trains and railways?"

Jiang Mian no longer asked about the coal mine.

If it was accepted before, it was because the terms of the two parties had been negotiated; if it was not accepted, it would not be a precedent for the emperor to continue bargaining in the future.

Yang Tinghe said: "When it comes to fund allocation, it's up to you, Sun Shangshu, to make the decision."

……

……

……

But there are some things that obviously have a lot of reasons to refute, but they cannot be resorted to.

Yang Tinghe sighed: "I'm afraid that such things will increase more and more. Today, we have negotiated a matter with His Majesty. Then, whether in the future, His Majesty will set out corresponding conditions for everything, and treat the court as a place where the market is arguing." ? Shouldn’t the rules of the past be followed?”

"Then let Jingdao preside over the mine development in Yongping Mansion, will there be... any deviation?"

Zhu Si originally set out the conditions. As long as Yang Tinghe agrees, the monarch and his ministers will be able to reach a consensus. In the future, all mining and mining taxes will be controlled by the Ministry of Households, and the emperor's private purse will be tightened.

After all, the emperor did not do this publicly, so it is somewhat disrespectful to the emperor to speculate like this.

"Jingdao doesn't know anything about mining, so I guess it won't last long. Sigh!"

Lou Suzhen laughed and said, "My lord entrusts me to deal with such matters."

Jiang Shantong said disdainfully: "What do you take me for? Promise them? Don't say that I am not qualified to promise anything for the magistrate. Earn a lot of money... like us! They only realize their mistakes now, it's too late!"

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty wants to build something that has never been seen since ancient times. Have you ever thought that if it doesn't work, it will cost a lot of money and food, and these should be used on the people?"

When Sun Jiao heard it, you Yang Jiefu, you are addicted to using me as a gun, stabbing out, retracting and stabbing again, are you going to use me to pierce the little emperor's body a few times?

But this news caused an uproar among local officials and gentry.

He understood Yang Tinghe's "realm" and thinking.

As orthodox civil servants, in their current status, how can they be as willful as ordinary people?Even if both parties have negotiated the conditions and are satisfied with each other, they can't speak too directly. Now that Sun Jiao violated Yang Tinghe's intention and did not agree, in fact, another way is to reject the emperor for Yang Tinghe.

But things are different now.

The task of being scolded by civil officials and Confucian scholars is entrusted to you.

Jiang Mian smiled wryly. He wanted to ask this question, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

……

To Zhu Hao, it made no difference, anyway, the iron mine was originally his decision.

As soon as the procedure went quickly, Zhu Hao was still in the mine, and the government office had received the imperial decree and official documents from the household department. Zhu Hao suddenly changed from an uninformed magistrate who opened a mine privately and challenged Jin Yiwei to Yongping Mansion. The big treasurer of the iron mine, helping the imperial court manage the iron mine.

As a courtier, what you think in your heart doesn't mean you have to say it out.

The contradiction between the monarch and his ministers was already very big, and it gradually became apparent. Now the emperor is so stubborn that he wants to build railways and trains, and the funds do not need to be paid by the court.

Zhu Sidao: "Does Yang Ge always want to talk about righteousness with me? Everything I do is for the people, but also for the stability of Daming. Think about the transportation of grain and military supplies in Daming now, all rely on canals. Where there are no canals in the north, go The cost of the land route is quite high. If this train can really be used, wouldn't it benefit both the court and the people?
"Furthermore, now that I haven't asked the imperial court to contribute money and efforts, you might as well ask those who helped open mines and build railways to see if they are owed wages. Now I want to use money from merchants, Helping Ming Dynasty to accomplish a feat across the ages, why, in the eyes of some ministers, is it harming the interests of the people?"

Even if the emperor can earn a lot of money by opening mines, it can greatly relieve the financial pressure faced by the Ming court, and the emperor cannot continue to open the mines, but to maintain the original order of the court step by step, which sounds unreasonable. In the eyes of the ministers, this is the best solution.

Why is there such an unexpected feeling?
When Mou Dazhi heard the news, he hurried to find Jiang Shantong, but he learned that many gentry had come to Jiang Shantong's side early in the morning. big boat.

Jiang Mian nodded.

Things can be considered to have results, or they can be considered to have no results.

Sun Jiao and Zhao Huang went out of the palace, while Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian returned to the cabinet to check in.

Or is it me who you are pointing the gun at, and am I stabbing myself?
Sun Jiao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the veterans think this matter is impossible!"

When Jiang Mian said this, he sighed heavily.

Jiang Shan was stunned.

Only then did he realize that Zhu Hao's winner was not Jiang Shantong, but this Mi Jingde in front of him.

If Mi Jingde wanted to eat meat, it would be considered good if he, Jiang Shantong, could drink some soup along with him.

"Yes, yes, we all listen to Mr. Mi's orders, what should we do next?" Jiang Shantong also complimented Lou Suzhen with an expression.
