Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 56 Consuming envy and returning to the public, raising cheap silver, and making up for it immediately!

"What is this dog doing?"

Yang Lian's temper was the hottest, and his complexion was very unkind, and he called Wei Zhongxian a stray dog.

Menzi shook his head: "I don't know either!"

Ye Xianggao pondered for a while, and said, "Let him in!"

After a while, Wei Zhongxian entered Ye Xianggao's main hall, met everyone, and Wei Zhongxian saluted without haste: "I have met Mr. Ye Ge, and I have met all the adults!"

"Wei Zhongxian? What are you doing at this official's house?" Ye Xianggao's eyes fell on Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian said with a smirk: "Ye Ge always let our family come here, today, the emperor has scared all the adults!"

Yang Lian wanted to curse, but Ye Xianggao stopped him with his eyes.

At that moment, Ye Xianggao said: "Eunuch Wei came here today, is that for this?"

"The emperor told our family today that although the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is good, it feels against the harmony of heaven to see this skinned man today!" Wei Zhongxian said with a half-smile: "The emperor said, Isn't this ancestral system a little out of date!"

Ye Xianggao pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "The emperor is wise!"

Wei Zhongxian said hello, then turned and left.

Yang Lian frowned, and couldn't help but said: "What does this dog mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Xianggao glanced at Yang Lian, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, I want to reform!"

"Reform?" Everyone was slightly taken aback.

"The emperor asked this stray dog ​​to come and say that the ancestral system is out of date, that is to say, this ancestral system needs to be changed!" Ye Xianggao said: "But, how to modify this ancestral system? It also needs to be discussed with us!"

Yang Lian immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Reformation, this is a good thing.

This is what the Donglin Party members have always been pursuing.

It is absolutely impossible for them to spit out the meat in their mouths.

How to allow yourself to embezzle more benefits in a reasonable and legal way is the key.

As for what happened to the court of Ming Dynasty and the people of Ming Dynasty, these were not considered by the Donglin Party members.

Let's talk about it first.

Ye Xianggao pondered for a moment, and then said: "The emperor is more difficult to deal with than we imagined, I'm afraid he may not follow our wishes!"

"Don't be afraid of reform!"

Han Yu on the side also opened his mouth and said: "What about Zhang Juzheng's reform in the past? If it was for the Ming Dynasty, we would have to suffer and be tired, so why not!"

"I will write a letter tomorrow, asking for a reform!" Yang Lian said immediately.

张府
Zhang Haogu left Zhu Youxiao with the idea of ​​textile looms and Jenny looms, and he himself had to consider the new policies of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, his thinking is also very simple.

Reform this thing.

come on schedule

When Zhang Haogu thought about it, he directly figured out the content of Yongzheng's New Deal.

Basically, the Yongzheng New Deal was just a few patches for Daming.

Zhang Haogu thought for a while, and wrote seven words on the road while he was walking.

When local officials collect money taxes, they will collect more money and silver on the grounds of depletion, which is also called fire consumption or depletion. It is cracking down on the arbitrary apportionment behavior of local officials.

Although the exploitation of farmers is still there, at least the arbitrary apportionment has been reduced so that it will not intensify.

Zhang Haogu didn't even mention such things as the distribution of the stalls into the mu, reforming the land and returning it to the local people, and the gentry paying grain and doing errands as a whole.

The reform has to be done step by step.

Daming is now like a giant who is seriously ill, it is not acceptable to take too strong medicine as soon as he comes up.

Although there will be a lot of resistance to the return of consumption and envy to the public, if it is matched with Yanglian Yin, the resistance will be relatively small as long as the court really gives money.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were really too low.

Of course, strictly speaking, Zhang Haogu’s salary is not bad. When Zhu Yuanzhang designed the bureaucrat’s salary, he still took personal life into consideration.

However, the tricky thing is that Daming has a system called Zhe Se Sui Salary.In the early Ming Dynasty, salaries were mainly distributed with grain.However, when the food in the national treasury is not enough, occasionally other things will be issued instead, which is the so-called "folding color".

In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, money and banknotes were occasionally issued. At that time, the banknotes were still useful. They should have been issued for a stone of rice, but the actual banknotes issued were worth about one tael of silver, which was roughly equivalent to the market price.At the time of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, due to the depreciation of banknotes, one stone of rice should have been given, but the actual banknotes issued could only be cashed in one to two cents of silver.

In the Chenghua period, the ten-column banknote was only worth twenty or thirty Wen.In other words, depreciate to the original [-]% to [-]%.

Issuing banknotes again is playing hooligans, and the salary is equivalent to a 50.00% reduction.

Later, paper money was not given, and pepper and sumac were issued directly.

When it came to Emperor Chenghua, it became even more vicious, and began to take out the large inventory of silk and satin cloth, clothes towels, quilts, tables and chairs, porcelain tea bowls and tin teapots and distribute them to all officials as salaries.

Anyway, Zhang Haogu could see that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was a top hooligan. Although Zhu Yuanzhang set the salary standard for officials very low, he set a very high salary level for his descendants.

If there is a chance, Zhang Haogu really wants to deal with the clan members of the old Zhu family.

Anyway.

Zhang Haogu calculated that his salary was 61 stones per month and 732 stones per year.One tael of silver can buy rice and two stones, and my monthly income is almost 30 taels of silver. Naturally, it is much higher than that of poor peasants.

However, this is the capital, and I have to support my family and bearers. If my family doesn’t have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to support me, this little money is not enough to cover my own expenses. He was about to drink the Northwest Wind, and he was definitely worse off than Hai Rui.

Hai Rui's salary plus his mother and wife doing some work can barely support the family, but now with the inflow of silver, there is some inflation.

From an institutional point of view, Daming is really cheating on this point.

Consumption and envy are returned to the public, and if the support of honesty and silver can be matched, at least people who do not need to be greedy will not be greedy.

Zhang Haogu thought about it again.

Then, pick up a pen and write.

Make it up immediately!

This is another immoral move made by Yongzheng. "Alternate" actually refers to officials who have not been awarded actual positions and can only wait for their posts in the Ministry of Officials.

The imperial examinations held every three years continuously produced qualified officials for the court, but the specific official positions were always limited, resulting in many people without official positions, so there was a "substitute" rule.

Yongzheng arranged for the imperial envoys to go to the local area to check the accounts, and the best candidates to form the imperial envoy investigation team were the alternate officials, and the alternate officials would also be divided into different levels. During the inspection process, once officials were found to be corrupt, they could be removed from their posts on the spot. Then select an alternate official of the same level as the official from the imperial mission investigation team to fill this official position and take office immediately.

This is a set of punches.

While writing, Zhang Haogu began to admire Yongzheng a little bit.

If there is no Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that it will be about a hundred years.
