Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 613 The Dividend Conference
Chapter 613 The Dividend Conference
After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Chen Qiyu took a look at the calm Wen Tiren, and said to himself: Sure enough, it is similar to what someone guessed, if the Holy Majesty wants to promote the New Deal, he will definitely come up with something to appease the officials.
As long as this guy expresses his opinion first, he must know the inside story, and the Holy One must have communicated with him in advance.
Why did His Majesty treat this old man so favorably?
Seeing that in his seventies, he is still greedy for power and position, and does not know how to make room for the prime of life and strong, it is really hateful.
"The dream I mentioned just now, if you want to fully realize it, it will not be achieved overnight, and it cannot be achieved in one generation or several generations.
But I would like to work together with you, and move forward according to the established policy, thinking that one day this dream will be realized and paved the way.
I know that the policy of the ministers and the gentry to pay food as one is still disapproving, but this policy and the reform of the suzerain and vassal are established national policies, and I will never allow anyone to hinder its implementation.
Anyone who is overestimated will be severely punished. I hope that you will inform others, lest someone is ignorant of the current affairs and try the law by himself!
Once this policy is pushed away, anyone who is perfunctory, obedient and vigilant, and playing tricks will be in danger of eternal disaster!
Please remember, remember! "
The meaning of Zhu Youjian's last paragraph is very clear, that is, to ask all the ministers to warn officials with good relations not to jump out and sing a different tune in this matter, and to take it seriously when implementing it, otherwise, the end will be miserable .
Seeing that all the ministers nodded, Zhu Youjian continued to speak: "I said just now, since Zhu Qing is so knowledgeable and interesting, then I can't let everyone suffer, I can't bully honest people, can I?"
All the ministers looked at each other immediately after hearing the words.
Isn't the emperor's words too straightforward?
Anyone who dares to agree with you is an honest person?
The inconsistency means that the anti-thief is not successful?
But it's also very good, since obedience can be beneficial, then it's better to be more obedient in the future.
In any case, the emperor has been very generous in recent years, completely different from the dozen or so emperors of the Zhu family before.
"The case of attacking an official has been solved. In addition to the persons involved in the case being dealt with as conspiracy, the pro-army also seized some stolen goods involved in the case. According to the pro-military report, the value is really quite a lot."
As soon as Zhu Youjian mentioned that it was worth a lot, all the ministers cheered up immediately, and Hou Xun asked casually out of his professional habits developed over the years: "Qizou Shengshang, I don't know how much the stolen goods involved in this case are worth? Taicang can How much do you get?"
"Hehe, to be honest, with the increase of various incomes in the past few years, no matter whether it is domestic funds or Taicang, they are already extremely ample. I was taken aback!
You might as well guess, how much stolen money was seized by the pro-army this time? "
Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian deliberately bought a pass, and paused for a while, the appetite of all the ministers was suddenly lifted, and they all guessed in their hearts how much they would gain this time.
"Could it be as much as five million taels?"
Hou Xun continued to ask.
"Hehe, Hou Qing still greatly underestimated the wealth of the sea merchants!
This time, including the officials involved in the case, a total of 300 million taels of stolen silver were seized! "
As soon as Zhu Youjian's voice fell to the ground, there was a sound of "hissing" in the hall. Everyone was stunned by this unheard-of astronomical figure, even the warm body who had always been dignified and solemn. Except, the movement of stroking his beard with his hand also came to a standstill.
It should be said that these cabinet ministers are also knowledgeable people, and each of them has dabbled in the financial situation of the past dynasties.
In their cognition, the most economically developed Song Dynasty courts had an annual income of 3000 to [-] million guan, which is already an enviable figure.
What they didn't expect was that a huge amount of wealth could be hidden in just one Songjiang mansion in Daming, and the wealth hidden in dozens of people's homes was even comparable to half a year's income of the two Song courts.
"Qizou Shengshang, the profit is so large this time, it really surprises the minister, I wonder how much Taicang can get this time?"
Hou Xunqiang, who was the first to wake up, suppressed the shock in his heart and asked.
"In view of the rich harvest this time, I decided to allocate 300 million taels on the spot and transfer it to the Zhejiang Cleaning Department of the Household Department in Nanjing Prefecture for the construction of water conservancy and land reclamation in the south of the Yangtze River.
The remaining 1000 million taels? . . "
Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian saw that all the officials in the ranks were looking at him eagerly, their eyes full of expectation, so after a little thought, he made a slight change to his original plan: "500 million taels of it Enter Taicang for various expenses of the imperial court, among which officials at all levels from the fifth grade to the next will double the diligent government silver and Yanglian silver at the end of each year, and this expenditure will be borne by Taicang!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian picked up the tea and sipped it lightly, as if the distribution of benefits had come to an end.
None of the ministers said anything, and they still looked at Zhu Youjian expectantly. When they saw that the emperor seemed to be done at this point, in desperation, Wen Tiren coughed deliberately, and the rest of them understood and said There were all kinds of strange noises.
"Hahahaha! You gentlemen, don't be impatient! Since officials from the fifth rank to the next have such generous treatment, then I will not treat the remaining senior officials badly!"
Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing out loud at the actions of the ministers.
He knew that this was the actions of the ministers to remind him: the officials below have made arrangements, don't forget about us.
It is worth noting that the great wealth gained from outside has moved everyone's heart. If the emperor's hands were loosened a little, then maybe he would get a huge sum of money for nothing.
"Qizou Shengshang, the ministers are not thinking about the money, they just feel that since the middle and low-level officials have a share, the rest is the city of the country. If you don't give some money to comfort people, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction. The pure reputation of the Holy One is in the way!"
Although Wen Tiren took the lead to signal the ministers to remind the emperor, he would never take the lead to express objection to the emperor's decision.
After seeing him cough and put on a nonchalant attitude, Yang Sichang, who couldn't bear it anymore, found an excuse and persuaded him.
This is more than 1000 million taels of silver.
As soon as the emperor changed hands, he set aside 800 million taels, and used Taicang's money to raise the salaries of middle and low-level officials. The remaining 500 million is in a dilemma, do you want to swallow it yourself?
That's 500 million taels!
It has already caught up with the current surplus in Taicang.
"Hahahaha! Yang Qing's words are justified. I just thought about it a little while ago. The remaining 500 million taels are still in my pocket!"
Zhu Youjian felt relieved and decided to continue teasing these old men.
"My lord...this...isn't appropriate!"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the money in the house is extremely rich. Not to mention that the nobles in the palace are extremely rich now, and even the little firemen in the palace have a lot of salary every month. You want so much money to make two works. What?"
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, because I have no income other than salary, there are only a dozen servants and maidservants in the mansion, and guests come during the festivals, and they are too busy. It just makes people laugh!
If I had more money, I wouldn't be so shabby. I'm a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the court to be in such a tight situation! "
Seeing the appearance of all the ministers screaming Qu, Zhu Youjian was so happy that he burst into tears.
"Okay, okay! I won't tease you anymore!
This time, I have such an idea for profiting from officials above rank five! "
