Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 461 Reorganizing the Cabinet (Third Change, 600 Monthly Tickets Plus Changes)
"Didn't Liu Qing come to lie to me to evade responsibility?" The more Liu Hongjian gleefully described the ocean as beautiful, the more Chongzhen didn't believe it.

What's in the sea?In Chongzhen's memory, it seems to be full of water and pirates.

That's right, now the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong is helping Daming defend the coast. Speaking of this fellow Chongzhen, he remembered that the black slave soldiers who worked outside Shenyang City were released by this fellow.

This made Chongzhen a little bit of the same enemy, and Zheng Zhilong was just the opposite compared with those former officials who listened to the tune and didn't listen to the propaganda.

This guy listens to the announcement and doesn't listen to the tune, you can ask him for some money and help, that's all right, but you let him come to Beijing to face the saint, let him dispatch troops to fight so and so, sorry, no time!

He wouldn't say it so directly, but it's not easy to find excuses, what's wrong with the body, the wind direction is wrong...

Chongzhen was not really moved by the blueprint drawn by Liu Hongjian, but he listened to one thing.

Firearms, warships, sailors, firearms, needless to say, he really felt the power of muskets and grenades during the Northern Expedition. As long as Daming mastered these big killers, he would no longer be afraid of the northern captives.

Zheng Zhilong is Chongzhen's pain, while warships and navy... This is Daming's pain!

Chongzhen frowned, as if weighing between the two.

"I ci...ao, Your Majesty, why did I lie to you? You wait until I build an iron-clad ship and take you for a walk in Nanyang." Liu Hongjian was so anxious that he swears, and said to himself that it's fortunate that the uncle can't understand .

He was really depressed. It was like telling the cabinet ministers who believed in the roundness of the sky that the earth is actually round. If they were not allowed to really feel it, they would not understand. After all, common sense is like this in this day and age.

"Oh, I know you don't like to exercise power, but if you don't want to, how can I hand over Daming to Cihong with confidence." Chongzhen sighed and chose to compromise.

ZTE's three-step strategy, the first half of which has already been achieved, Jiannu was wiped out, and there are so many muskets and grenades in the whole northern border, Chahar would not dare to attack easily.

But compared to foreign enemies, the second step to get rid of the bad government is not so easy.

Do you really think that all the officials in the imperial court are fools, can't you see where the bad governance of Ming Dynasty lies?
That's how naive you are!

The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty only admitted more than [-] people each time, and there was only one test in three years. However, how many people were there in the Ming Dynasty?
These guys have been studying hard for ten years, and they have stood out from hundreds of thousands of applicants. Not to mention the ability to govern the country, they must be extremely smart.

How can they not see the ills of the court, but they just don't want to change it!

Why are you not willing to change, what to change?land?Their!Is there a business tax?It's theirs too!

There may be many people in the imperial court who have nothing to lose, but you go to check his family, if there is no landlord, I will lose!
No one in the imperial court, from the top officials, down to the merchants and landlords, would agree to such an outrageous idea.

Only a fool agrees, isn't that cutting flesh on himself?
There is also the household registration system, the military household guard soldiers have long been corrupted to the brim, even if you pull any old beggar on the street, he can scold the guard soldiers out of shit.

But why didn't anyone mention this until the end of the Ming Dynasty?
The soldiers in the guards are all free labor, and they have to pay rent to help them cultivate the land for free. How could the nobles with vested interests agree?
There is also the artisan household system. When the officials have not yet decorated or made furniture at home, who would not be happy to have free artisan households to use it?

The emperor wanted to change it, but whether it was courtiers or relatives, just saying that this is the ancestral system can make the emperor put out the flames.

Are you angry?What's the use of being angry?Everyone disagrees, only you, an emperor imprisoned in the high wall, shouting in the palace, and the officials are just barking like dogs.

Chongzhen's grandfather tried to abolish the bad government, but failed, and ended up in a mess.

Chongzhen wants to do it, but he has no confidence, and his health is failing. Where is his son?
Haha, forget it, it's not as good as Lao Tzu.

It's so easy to find a good helper, but this Zhuzi actually wants to focus on construction, what a futile ah!

"Take your time, Your Majesty, don't worry, Daming has been in bad governance for many years, and it's not too late.

Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, you have been very domineering these few days, how have you gained? " Liu Hongjian said with a smirk.

Uncle Chongzhen is good at everything, but his temper is too hasty, and quick success and quick gain are not enough. We have to take our time and let us take care of ourselves.

"There are more than 300 million taels!" Chongzhen said angrily.

If it were put in the past, the treasury would have more than 300 million taels of silver for nothing, enough to make Chongzhen smile for several days, and even add two extra dishes to dinner at night.

But now Chongzhen is not happy at all. With Liu Hongjian's two big actions of tens of millions of taels, 300 million taels is really nothing.

Moreover, more than 300 million taels is not enough. The total expenditure of the Northern Expedition plus one yuan is more than 700 million taels. Even if the silver deposit in the treasury is added, there is still a gap of at least 700 million taels.

"Why so little?" Liu Hongjian blurted out.

"Hmph, this kind of thing is not something worthy of glory. I would rather not find a single penny from these courtiers' homes!" Chongzhen was not very happy about the scam of stealing money from his home that Liu Hongjian taught him.

After all, he is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the government's finances depend on the emperor's ransacking of the house to support it. Can it be considered a glorious thing?

And the reason why there are only these, isn't it that you, Liu Youming, have raped all those big households?
Exhaust the pond and fish!If you always come like this, who will feel at ease to work for you?
"Well, it's still quite a bit worse, Rong Chen thinks about it." Liu Hongjian immediately began to use his brains, the courtiers were almost suppressing it, it seemed...

"Let's discuss this matter later, and tell me, who is suitable for the position of chief assistant? Shi Bangzhao, a scholar of Dongge University, is not good at things. I have already dismissed him from the cabinet, and I need someone with talent to replace him."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the servants of the left and right have all been imprisoned, which made Chongzhen even more suspicious of the courtiers. He would rather listen to the proposal of the lazy boy in front of him than listen to the recommendations of the courtiers including the remaining few elders.

"I think Li Banghua and Master Li are quite suitable for this position as chief assistant." Liu Hongjian had been thinking about this since Zheng Sanjun entered the imperial prison.

The reason why Li Banghua was chosen is because this guy is surprisingly unpopular in the court, and he is also surprisingly acknowledging the truth, right is right, wrong is wrong, if you want to play sloppy under him, unless you are the king of heaven.

Regarding this person, Chongzhen didn't have much opinion. Although this guy always contradicted him because of some memorials, in terms of character, Li Banghua would definitely not form cliques with other courtiers.

Li Banghua became the first assistant, and the second assistant was vacated, and Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, filled the vacancy. The engineering background is the most pragmatic and rigorous.

Alas, it's just that they are too old, and they are all a bunch of old men!
Liu Hongjian also proposed to be promoted to Fang Yuegong, the left servant of the household department, as the new minister of the official department, Chongzhen, and he did not object.

As for the vacant Dongge University Bachelor, Liu Hongjian thought for a while and wanted to mention one person.

Minister of Rites, Han Yu.
