Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Old Bi Ge, you don't have any idea about the newly established National Tax Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Han Yu frowned, looked at Bi Ziyan, who was busy at his desk, and said eagerly: "Then Guan Shaoning... is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who didn't even go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to observe politics.

Even though the matter of the National Taxation Office is a done deal and cannot be changed, it is necessary to select talents who are proficient in taxation to be the doctor of the National Taxation Office.

According to His Majesty's wishes, the National Taxation Office will temporarily take charge of the collection of banknotes. After the order of the matter is stabilized, it will gradually clarify the business tax collection.

But after all, it involves the important affairs of water transportation, so we can't afford to ignore it.

If Guan Shaoning can't take on this important task and cause any troubles in the water transportation, the consequences will be disastrous, and the officials in the court and the central government have great doubts about it. "

Seeing that Han Xuan became more and more excited, Bi Ziyan stopped, and the tiredness on his brows made people feel distressed. As the treasurer of Ming Dynasty, Bi Ziyan's burden was too heavy, too heavy.

Especially in the past half a year or so, Emperor Chongzhen had nothing to do with things, many of which involved the authority of the household department, which made Bi Ziyan very busy.

Since Chongwenmen's tax reform was planned, Bi Ziyan seldom had a full night's sleep.

"Han Yuanfu, why are you so excited?"

Bi Ziyan picked up the teacup, took a sip of strong tea, frowned and said, "Although the National Tax Office is newly established, it is still in the preparatory stage.

And according to Bi's observation, although Guan Shaoning had never been to the Ministry of Household Affairs to observe politics before, and he was a noble attendant and lecturer in the Imperial Academy, he had a very good character.

In the past few days, many problems encountered have come from..."

Listening to what Bi Ziyan said, Han Yu didn't care much in his heart, whether Shaoning was good or bad, at his level, he didn't need to pay more attention to him as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

It's just that Guan Shaoning's National Tax Office cannot allow Han Yu to ignore it.

According to his understanding of the Son of Heaven, once the National Taxation Office can really clarify the banknote customs set up by the water transport, it will definitely cause other things.

You must know that Guan Shaoning's Imperial Academy Attendant Lecturer was promoted by Emperor Jian.

If the emperor sees the collection of banknotes and asks the court to collect a lot of tax money, will the number of banknotes be increased?Does that come to mind elsewhere?

Moreover, if the collection of banknotes is clear, it will involve commercial taxes. If this is the case, the chaos caused may not be small.

In fact, Han Yu doesn't want to take care of these things, he just needs to be the chief assistant of his cabinet, but he is in the arena, so he has to consider the ways of the world.

Although the Donglin Party is a crony party, there are people from all over the country, relying on political concepts, relying on complex relationships such as teachers, students, and in-laws, and loosely gathered together, but after the eunuchs suppressed by the Tianqi Dynasty, the core fundamentals, It has already shrunk to the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

The interests represented by the Donglin Party are the core interests headed by officials, gentry, merchants, etc. under the rule of the Jiangnan provinces. If there is anything that is not good for them, they must try to settle it.

"Han Yuansuke?"

Seeing that Han Yu remained silent, Bi Ziyan frowned and said: "The current treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, and the situation facing the court is so complicated.

Since the establishment of the National Taxation Office can help the treasury to increase revenue and clarify matters related to money, Bi thinks that Guan Shaoning should be asked to do more. "

Han Yu: "..."

Although Bi Ziyan still agrees with the ideas preached by the Donglin Party in terms of some concepts, there are also some good people who attribute Bi Ziyan to the Donglin Party.

But actually...

Say yes, it counts.

Say no and no.

However, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Finance of the Ming Dynasty, had a good relationship with some Donglin party members in private, there is nothing wrong with this.

Daming has such a complicated and special situation. What is wrong is not this era, what is wrong is the influence of the party spirit, which makes officials who enter official careers like to be divided into factions, so that they can keep warm in groups. After all, no one can guarantee that, here In officialdom, things have always been smooth sailing.

……

There was constant turmoil in the outer court, but it did not affect the inner court.

The Qianqing Palace at that time.

"Li Qing, you have dealt with the Shanxi matter beforehand very well."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at Li Banghua in front of him, and said, "If you weren't in Shanxi, I don't know what troubles would have happened.

As for the raging bandit forces, once they know about the chaos in Shanxi, they will inevitably invade Shanxi on a large scale, and the entire Shanxi area will be in chaos. "

"Your Majesty is absurd, these are not the merits of the ministers."

Li Banghua made a salute and said, "If it weren't for His Majesty's determination, I am afraid that the rectification of Shanxi's officialdom will not achieve the current results, and Shanxi will not quell the chaos as soon as possible.

It’s just that your Majesty... in Shanxi, there are more local officials being investigated, even though the Ministry of Officials has recruited many officials to fill the vacancies, but Shanxi..."

Listening to what Li Banghua said, Emperor Chongzhen knew what Li Banghua was worried about. After all, the current situation in Shaanxi was so bad.

Once it is said that a large number of rogue rebels invaded the territory of Shanxi, the counter-insurgency against the rogues would become more passive.

This is also the reason why Li Banghua returned to Beijing first, while Liu Hongxun stayed in Shanxi temporarily to deal with the finishing matters?
The commotion in Shanxi this time was very disturbing, involving many levels, and even the Jin Fan and Dai Fan issues under the rule have not been effectively resolved.

Although Zhang Zhiji also served as Minister of Li Fanyuan, there were many things that could not be resolved immediately by setting up a new government office.

Especially at the current stage of Shanxi and Shanxi, where the complicated and special situation, if you really do everything in one go, big trouble will happen.

Thinking of the Emperor Chongzhen who was here, he looked at Li Banghua and said, "In order to ensure the stability of Northern Zhili, I specially set up the governor of Zhili and dismissed Xuanfu, Baoding, Shuntian and other governors.

This is bound to affect some aspects of Shanxi.

So I plan to replace the governor of Shanxi, and call Liu Hongxun, the minister of the Military Aircraft Department, who is also the governor of Shanxi, to stabilize the situation in Shanxi, wipe out the bandits in various prefectures and counties, and govern the entire Shanxi. "

"Your Majesty... I think this proposal is feasible!"

Li Banghua hurriedly bowed and said: "As far as Shanxi governs the prefectures and counties under the current complicated situation, the imperial court really needs to send important officials to sit in charge.

The important ministers of the condemnation faction must be familiar with the situation in Shanxi, otherwise they will not grasp their position well, and fear that the entire territory of Shanxi will cause new disturbances. "

He rushed to Jin to investigate the case under order, and Li Banghua saw a lot of what he experienced during the period, and also made Li Banghua think a lot, which indirectly made him change a little bit.

Seeing his own idea, instead of objecting, Li Banghua was very supportive. Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood what was going on.
