Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Drift, generally refers to the losses caused by accidents in the transportation of food, salaries, military supplies, etc. during water transportation and sea transportation, all of which have quotas.

Just be it.

I don't know when the bad start started, drifted away, and turned into a means of corruption. Even if there is no accident, it can be reported as an accident.

It was this kind of unhealthy trend in the officialdom that led to the further collapse of Daming's finances, the further corruption of the Daming army, and the piles of bad debts in Daming.

The official administration of the Ming Dynasty was corrupted, and nothing could be done.

In addition to this drift, there is another fire hazard, which is the strategy that harms the people. Officials who have been in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom are racking their brains to collect money.

"Look at it all, take a good look."

Emperor Chongzhen held the secret note and said with a cold expression: "If it were not for the floods under the rule of Shandong, I would send factory guards to escort the food and salaries needed for disaster relief and arrive in Shandong in person.

The man named Factory Guard accidentally bumped into this unimaginable thing. I really can't believe that the drift of water transportation in the past happened like this. "

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen threw the secret memorial to the ground, and the cabinet ministers and courtiers called Han Yu and Wen Tiren were all shocked.

The emperor mentioned drifting, which could not allow them to ignore it.

In fact, it's an unspoken rule, but anyone who is in the court and mixed in the officialdom knows it.

It's a half-open secret.

The only one who doesn't know is probably the Emperor Ming.

After all, Daming's official salary is only so little. Being an official of Daming is hard, you can't lose your official prestige, and you have to deal with all kinds of people.

With that little salary, it is not even enough to sustain a normal life.

'When it comes to Daming's corruption methods, it can be said to be full of tricks. '

Emperor Chongzhen's face was full of anger, but his heart was very calm, and he even wanted to laugh: "In addition to this drift, there is fire consumption. The officials in Beijing also have carbon respect, ice respect, festival respect, etc. Wait.

There is no corruption in every sentence, but there is corruption in every sentence.

From the beginning of the Apocalypse Dynasty, Liaodong has gradually evolved into some guys in the court, many local officials, and Liaodong generals, who have mountains of gold and silver in their hands.

The influence of a party atmosphere intensified the corruption of officials, and then bred a large number of moths, constantly sucking the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

Based on the current situation, trying to solve all these problems is pure nonsense. '

It's not easy being the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It is not easy to be an honest official of Ming Dynasty.

The morality of the Ming Dynasty has been corrupted, if you don’t follow the trend, if you don’t follow the light, then you are out of place, and you are the one who needs to be eliminated.

When Emperor Chongzhen was feeling emotional, none of the ministers standing in the hall had any intention of leaving to get the secret note, and Bi Ziyan, who looked a little tired, walked forward slowly with his hands down.

"..."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this scene, he subconsciously leaned forward. He threw the secret music, not Bi Ziyan, but the Minister of Finance of Ming Dynasty.

But the group of ministers in the cabinet and the group of ministers in the household department are well aware of the danger of drifting away, so no one dares to stand up at this time.

Bi Ziyan bent down to pick up the secret memorial, but did not look at it. Instead, he knelt down and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, bowing his head and saying, "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime. I have failed to live up to the holy grace. Please give me your permission. Please resign."

It's a semi-open secret.

It's okay if it doesn't explode.

There are a lot of them that burst out.

It's not that Bi Ziyan has never thought about the need to restrain the floating affairs of various places. After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Households and is in charge of Daming's finances.

But there are some things, you can't manage them if you want to.

If this vested interest is touched, it will lead to a backlash.

"So Bi Qing knows about this?"

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Then Bi Qing, have you ever thought that it's all right to restrain Piao?"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't even mention Bi Ziyan's resignation.

Can the Minister of Finance of Ming Dynasty ask him to resign?
After leaving Bi Ziyan, who will handle the affairs of the Ministry of Finance, the affairs of Qian Fa, and the affairs of Guanguan?

Emperor Chongzhen was not at ease whoever it was handed over to!

"I want to restrain Guan Hao Piao, but please forgive me for being incompetent." Bi Ziyan looked a little moved, and bowed: "I..."

Looking at Bi Ziyan with a tired expression, and even bloodshot eyes, Emperor Chongzhen could see the various pressures and burdens that Bi Ziyan experienced when he was working in the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Bi Qing, get up."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, and said, "It's not Bi Qing's fault, it's still my fault in the final analysis, I only wanted to put down the rebellion and the rebels, and I didn't pay much attention to these things.

Now that I know the things stated in the secret memorial, it is impossible for me to ignore them.

Han Qing, you are the chief assistant of the cabinet, and you are familiar with the Ming Dynasty's government affairs. Come and tell me, the water transport drift is not so severe, how can we improve it? "

Drifting doesn't just happen in water transportation, like distributing food and salaries to border guards, there is no such thing as drifting. There is no such thing as the Yangtze River.

Often it is distributed to the frontier soldiers, and it is only ten taels of silver. After layers of exploitation, it is considered a high incense to be able to distribute two taels of silver.

In some places, even the silver was not seen, and it was said that the imperial court was in arrears of food and wages, and finally there was a mutiny.

It is not surprising that something magical appears in Daming, who is in a bad position.

"minister……"

Han Yan hesitated, looked at Bi Ziyan who got up, bowed to the emperor and said, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

Bi Ziyan, the minister of the household department, can't solve the problem. Even if he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, even if his rank is higher than him, there is nothing he can do.

"You don't talk, do you?"

Seeing Han Yu like this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren and the others again, and said with cold eyes: "Okay, if you don't tell me, then I won't believe it if I tell you, Piao is fine and can't be restrained.

In the final analysis, the fact that there are officials who have nothing to do with drifting and committing corruption is that the governor of the water transport is in a corner and cannot form effective control over the entire water transport.

Since this is the case, then divide the water transport into three for me, and set up admiral water transport sub-administrations in the north and south, which are under the direct control of the governor of water transport.

The Ministry of Households has narrowed the floating quota. In which jurisdiction, the floating quota is high, and the department will investigate and deal with it.

At the same time, the serious drift of water transportation is also related to the collapse of the military transportation system under its jurisdiction.

I decided to rectify the transportation of the army, referring to the important towns on the nine borders, set up the important towns of the eight provinces, which are in charge of the transportation of all sections of the water transportation, and set up the post of admiral to supervise the transportation and military affairs, under the direct control of the governor of the water transportation.

I don't believe it anymore, I have completely separated the transport army and the local guards. This water transport is fine, and it can continue to be severe for me! "

Han Yu, Bi Ziyan and other cabinet ministers and courtiers had different expressions when they heard what the emperor said, and many people felt shock in their hearts. The world of water transportation will change in the future.
