After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 431 Cancellation
It is indeed a bit small, and a few thousand catties of potatoes sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much. If you want to plant all four thousand acres of land, you have to rely on those sweet potatoes.

After lunch, the emperor returned to the palace with a bag of potatoes and his courtiers satisfied.

Just when the courtiers thought that the emperor would give a big reward to Yu Junwang, the right minister finally issued a letter of resignation due to serious illness, and the next day the emperor proposed to abolish the prime minister system and establish a cabinet.

"My Majesty, the Daxing Dynasty implemented the system of prime ministers from the very beginning of the founding of the country. How could the Emperor change the will of the founding emperor without authorization?"

The emperor said: "The reason why the prime minister system was established at the beginning of the founding of the country was because the two adults, Jin and Lu, accompanied Emperor Taizu from birth to death, and the three were as close as brothers. In order to retain the two talents, the left and right prime ministers were set up to show that he could not do without the assistance of the two adults.

The position of prime minister was originally established by the two lords, Jin and Lu. Now the two lords are long gone, and even their families have declined. What's wrong with abolishing the prime minister system? "

The courtiers were speechless.

Seeing that these people were silent, the emperor said again: "When the two prime ministers were here, it was a few senior scholars who handled confidential affairs with them.

The cabinet will be established from now on, and the members of the cabinet will be the original five great scholars, who were originally fifth-rank officials and promoted to third-rank officials.

The former Inspectorate appointed another Inspector Yushi, who was of the first grade, and the right inspector Shi Lu was promoted to Inspector Yushi. "

The original bachelor was the emperor's secretary. Not only did he not have a high official position, he still had little right to speak. Now he has not only been promoted from a fifth-rank official to a third-rank official, but also does not have to work under the supervision of the left and right prime ministers. It can be said that his status has risen a lot.

The Inspectorate used to be the highest officials of the Inspectorate, the left governor and the right governor. His face darkened. Originally, he and Lord Lu were at the same level, but now that he became his immediate boss, he felt extremely aggrieved.

However, the emperor's words were not finished yet, "Gu Xian, the former imperial censor, was promoted to the second rank right governor censor."

Lord Lu and Gu Xian immediately came out to kowtow and thank you.

No one expected that Gu Xian, who canceled the prime minister system, would be directly promoted to three ranks.

The emperor let the two live on equal terms, "In addition, the salaries of all courtiers will also be raised. The first-rank official salary will be adjusted from 6000 taels to 500 taels, and the salary will be [-] shi. Baishi..."

"Similarly, the standard for the crime of corruption has been changed to start at 500 taels. Anyone who commits a crime of corruption will be fined [-] boards, and all the proceeds of corruption will be recovered. The fine will be doubled, and the official will be dismissed directly."

The meaning is, I give you a long salary, if you still go greedy, then don't be an official, go home and eat for yourself.

The officials immediately stopped worrying about whether to abolish the prime minister system, because everyone is always concerned about their own interests. Anyway, if the prime minister system is not abolished, they will not be prime ministers, but this time the long salary is closely related to them .

"There is more!" The courtiers are usually afraid of hearing the word "and" from the emperor, but today these two words are very pleasant to their ears.

"The Minister of the Ministry of War will return to his original post, and he will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold."

Well, it has nothing to do with them. For some reason, these courtiers were a little disappointed.

Minister of the Ministry of War should have been reinstated long ago. After all, what he said at the negotiating table was just a play. Fortunately, Gu Xian was arrogant enough to make the treacherous King Mingxuan believe the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you change someone, you will definitely not be able to achieve that effect.

Next, the emperor announced the salary adjustment table for officials at the ninth and eighteenth ranks, and the courtiers became more and more excited the more they watched.

The original salaries of first-rank and second-rank officials are doubled at 180 taels plus Lumi per month. Officials at other levels do not have double salaries. Third-rank officials receive more than 1000 taels a year plus more than 1000 shi. Meter.

It’s all right now, the salary of a third-rank official is 500 taels a year, and there are 1000 shi of Lumi, even a mere ninth-rank official can receive 30 taels of silver plus the same amount of Lumi every year , You must know that the original ninth-rank official can only receive [-] taels of silver plus a little Lumi every month.

After the court came down, Qi was in charge of the court, the six ministers, the inspector and imperial envoy Lord Lu, King Chen and the crown prince were all called to the Chaoyang Hall to discuss matters.

One is that the spring is just around the corner, and the emperor still ordered Qizhang Yuan to be responsible for this matter.

In addition, the emperor also inspected the following officials. This inspection is completely different from the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials. The members are basically composed of members of the royal family. The assessment process adopts a scoring system. Officials are interviewed one by one, even the six ministers are no exception. Those with high comprehensive scores are kept, and those who are not suitable will start immediately, and someone can take the top at any time.

As a result, many officials who got the news rushed into action that night, and the words of the emperor still lingered in their ears. Accepting 500 taels was a crime of accepting bribes. When they saw those who came to the door with gifts and had a good temper, they were politely invited If you go out, those who have a bad temper will be directly scolded out with gifts.

On the cusp of this storm, who dares to accept those gifts, they don't want to go home and eat themselves!

So, starting from the tenth day of the lunar new year, King Chen led a group of nephews (after more than three months of hard work, the seventh prince’s essay was finally passed by the emperor, and the confinement was naturally relieved) and a powerful team composed of Lu Yushi and Lu Yushi. The scoring team wandered around the various departments.

Every one of them will be questioned. Of course, these questions are determined by King Chen after private research with Ye Hanyu. Then the scoring team headed by King Chen will score each of them. The final brochures are all presented to the emperor for review, and those who have been inspected can continue to stay or be promoted. Those with too low scores will either be demoted, or they can only go home and eat themselves.

Did the members of these inspection teams really think that they were just scoring points?They also list one, two, and three points for scoring in this way. Of course, you can also say that you are not familiar with the person and do not comment, then there is no need to score.

What the emperor mainly looks at is the evaluation of the sixth son. The evaluation of other people is not important, because the others are just dragged to accompany him!
Ye Hanyu's evaluation is almost full of words, abilities, advantages and disadvantages, and who they are. For example, the servant Chu of the Ministry of War, Ye Hanyu marked Chu Shilang in the brothel incident last time. But it wasn't known at the time what was wrong with him.

But this time, Ye Hanyu directly wrote that Chu Shilang is Wang An's man.

If this incident was revealed by someone else, or if King An had been hiding in Prince An's mansion honestly and being his sick child, the emperor would definitely suspect that that person had other people's intentions, but unfortunately, the oldest of his sons The sixth child is the one who is not "motivated to do better", and he will not use this method to bully others.
