Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 210 Repeal
Seeing the emperor mentioning the Xinyang tragedy again, and hearing such unethical remarks from an official, all the ministers felt a little uneasy.Although many people are very selfish, they still have a conscience at the very least, and they are extremely disgusted with such extreme words and deeds.

Zhou Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "I would like to report to the Holy Majesty that the Jingcha will be held after the palace examination. I will ask all the people in the department to strictly check the officials of the various departments of the capital, and will never allow such gentle scum to stay in the government. Guilty! I hope the Holy One is relieved!"

Wen Tiren said: "As the chief assistant, I am also ashamed of such remarks among officials! The words of the officials from the Ministry of Officials are also the voice of the cabinet members, and the cabinet will fully support the Beijing inspection. Those who violate the court regulations with their words and deeds, the ministers will never ask for tolerance, and they will be expelled from the court!"

Zhu Youjian nodded in praise and said: "Both the first assistant and Zhou Qing are my trusted ministers, and the words of the two ministers are very suitable for me; strict governance of officials should not just stay in the mouth, there must be strict regulations and actions. Jing Cha The meaning is to eliminate the black sheep among the officials, and I hope that the whole department of officials will jointly shoulder the heavy responsibility here!"

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yun saluted and returned.

Zhu Youjian took a sip of water and then said: "Farmers in Nanzhili and other six provinces are living in poverty due to the payment of gold and silver. Abolished! Farmers within the territory are not allowed to collect any additional items except for the normal calculation and collection items! I will send Jinyi to inspect and visit on my behalf. No appointment!"

Because the gold flowers and silver are the royal family's private property, the courtiers couldn't say anything else when Jin Yiwei was used instead of the emperor to inspect the six provinces.

Although he had guessed that the emperor would abolish gold, flower and silver, after hearing the news from the emperor himself, all the civil servants in the palace were very moved.

Of course, except for Wang Chengen.

Hearing the emperor opened his mouth and said that the palace lost 100 million taels of income every year, Wang Chengen could not stop complaining: "My lord, my lord, since you came to the throne, in order to save money, suppress thieves and calm the people, the whole family lives frugally every day." ;Now I finally have a lot of money in my hands, but I can't stand your way of spreading money, alas!It is not easy for the common people, but is it easy for you?All the empresses in the world have to set up looms and weaving in the palace to subsidize their households. People don't believe this story!No, the emperor has lost his money, and Dongchang has to make up for the emperor to make it back.The queen, the young master, and the princess only reward their subordinates with a few taels of silver on weekdays, which is not as generous as a wealthy housekeeper outside!Let Wang Shiqin investigate more, catch a few big fish, and bring back some foreign money to the royal family.

Feeling agitated, Li Banghua went out to salute and played loudly: "This move by the Holy Majesty will benefit countless people! This is no longer to benefit the world by plucking out a hair, but it is to give up private wealth and let the people be generous! The Holy Majesty only relies on this." It is already far surpassing the wise kings of all dynasties! He is indeed a benevolent and holy king that has never been seen in the ages! I am deeply honored to be able to serve with the Holy One! In the future, I hope that the name of the minister will be on the history!"

The majestic Yang Sichang was also deeply moved by the emperor's unprecedented actions. He tidied up his clothes and went out to worship: "I heard: Yao and Shun sinned against themselves, and their prosperity is booming; Jie and Zhou sinners, their death is also sudden! The people's livelihood of the Holy Admiral I blame myself for the difficulties, not blame the ministers. It can be seen that the Holy Majesty has a broad mind and a broad mind! This is a sign of the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty! I am also very proud of being able to work with the Holy Majesty as stated in the constitution! I also wish to possess the body and follow the Holy Majesty to create an unprecedented foundation!"

Wen Tiren felt a little dissatisfied after being robbed of the limelight by the two. He went out to salute and said: "I think that the constitution and the words of the soldiers are the aspirations of the officials all over the world! After Jinhua was exempted, the people in the six provinces had food and clothing." There is no doubt! Thousands of people can accumulate more money and food when they are grateful for the grace of heaven, so that their lives will become more and more prosperous! The Holy Majesty has done this unprecedented move, and the hearts of the people of the world have returned! Veteran congratulations to Daming! Congratulations to the common people!"

All the other ministers also spoke highly of the emperor's move, this time they were sincere, because Zhu Youjian's behavior was indeed unprecedented in history.

Zhu Youjian was also in a good mood. He smiled and waved his hands to let everyone line up, and said: "I will make an order on this matter, and the cabinet will use the six provinces after printing; then it is time to discuss how to resettle the disaster victims in Shanxi and Henan." .”

Wang Yingxiong said: "Since the Holy Majesty distributed domestic funds to relieve the disaster, the two provinces can also follow the example of Shaanxi and Shandong to dig wells and farmland; as long as this year is passed, the disaster victims in the two provinces should be stable after the next summer and autumn harvest!"

Zhu Youjian shook his head, and said what he was thinking: "The strategy of Shaanxi and Shandong cannot be implemented on a large scale in Shanxi and Henan. The current plan is to immigrate and other prescriptions can solve the urgent need. The victims of the disasters in Nanyang and Jingxiang moved to the nearby two provinces of Huguang, Jingxiang, and relied on the abundant water systems in their territory to support the victims. This policy is basically the same as that of Shandong. Zheng's fleet moved to Taiwan in batches; according to Zheng's people, Taiwan's climate and geography are all suitable for living in peace. Settlement in the farmland. After a few years of good operation, Daming will have an extra granary with rich products!"

Wen Tiren said: "The old minister also heard that miasma and mosquitoes are rampant in Taiwan, and it is humid, hot and rainy all the year round; people in the north may feel uncomfortable when they move to this place! How to prevent miasma and epidemic diseases before going is a must-do lesson; Fujian, Guangdong Many people from the two places travel between Java, Luzon and other places, and the local doctors have a lot of experience in preventing and treating miasma, so I suggest ordering the local government to recruit doctors to accompany the immigrants to Taiwan to prevent the disease from developing!"

Zhu Youjian praised: "Wen Qing is really old-fashioned to seek the country. This matter can be written by the cabinet. There are many disaster victims in Shanxi. After the discussion, immigration-related matters must be started immediately. I will issue an order to Mrs. Zheng to write about it. The preparations are ready. Temporary official warehouses will be set up every [-] miles along the way to supply the grain and rice from the household department's supply warehouse, so that the victims can eat! This is the end of today's discussion, and all the ministers will step down!"

Zhu Youjian took Wang Chengen down from the throne and walked towards the apse, Wang Dehua and others from the inner court followed closely behind, and all the officials waited for the emperor's figure to disappear before turning around and leaving.

"My lord, as far as I know, the Zheng family's grain transport fleet is about [-] ships at a time. If they transport disaster victims to Taiwan, I'm afraid they won't be able to transport many people at one time!"

Wang Chengen followed Zhu Youjian, reporting as he walked.

The Zheng family's grain transportation fleet has now been replaced by large ships with a thousand materials, and more than 20 ships can transport about 1 shi of grain each time.But the goods can be stacked, if you transport people, you can't stack them up, right?Each of these ships can carry more than [-] people, and more than [-] ships can transport more than [-] people each time. For the uncountable number of victims in Shanxi, it is really a drop in the bucket.

"Big Companion, go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to draw up an order to make iron certificates, confer Zheng Zhilong the Boss of Jinghai, and give the iron certificates! Promote Zheng Zhibao to Fujian General Soldier! Promote Zheng Zhifeng to Deputy Chief Soldier!"

Zhu Youjian finally made up his mind to reward the Zheng family with his title and urge him to do his best to help the court overcome the current difficulties.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always been awarded only by military merits, the Zheng family fleet has transported nearly one million shi of rice to the capital for more than a year, and only collected 20 taels of silver.This is because Zhu Youjian felt that he couldn't ask others to pay for nothing, so he forcibly sent someone to send the money to Zheng Zhifeng's mansion, otherwise Zheng Zhifeng would not ask for it at all.

This million stones of rice, in this famine year when rice is expensive and silver is cheap, is enough to live countless people, and for this alone, it is no problem for Zheng Zhilong to be named uncle.What's more, this time the Zheng family needs to increase their investment in ships. If Zheng Zhilong agrees to Zhu Youjian's request, it means that the Zheng family will reduce the number of merchant ships traveling between Nanyang and Japan, and their income will suffer a great loss.

I believe that Zheng Zhilong will make the right choice by exchanging the title for the Zheng family's complete support.

　Yao and Shun said, it was my responsibility for this mistake, and I don’t blame everyone, so ZTE will come soon; Jie Zhou said, you gangsters are not very good, and you are all to blame for the accident, so its downfall will be instant.

　　During the Wanli period, the Ming court changed Yizhou to Taiwan.

　　Everyone recommends and collects more. Although I don’t write well, I try my best. There are too few favorites, recommendations and subscriptions. Sometimes I really don’t want to write.

　　This book friend took it for granted. The Dutch just occupied a small place in a hot block city. The Zheng family had immigrated to Taiwan long ago. There were very few natives and they were very backward. No matter what the country is like, life is not as important. Immigrants must of course be protected by the army.

　　Hui Longzi Bi An: It is not too difficult to immigrate to Taiwan. Shanxi is not far from Beijing. Food supply points are set up along the way. After passing the capital to Tianjinwei, you can take a boat to Taiwan.The main thing is to do it in batches, so we can’t gather too many people at one time. Taiwan must be immigrated and occupied. At that time, Zheng Zhilong had already moved a lot from Fujian.
