Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 60 Donglin's Party Clothes Are Soft!
Ye Xianggao was absolutely unexpected.

He even sent someone to invite him, but instead of coming, Zhang Haogu dared to let himself, the chief minister of the cabinet, go to the Ministry of Households in person?
He asked himself, the chief minister of the cabinet, to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs today. What else would he want to do tomorrow?
Just can't imagine.

However, Ye Xianggao pondered for a long time before making a decision.

go with!
It is obviously the Donglin Party that can't support it now. If it really continues to kill like this, it will always be the Donglin Party that will suffer. If Ye Xianggao really didn't move at all, the Donglin Party would be gone if he didn't keep it together.

Tobe
When Zhang Haogu said that he was busy, he was not just talking casually, but that he was really busy.

On the one hand, Zhang Haogu is making a list.

This is during this factory guard activity, which Dongchang Fanzi Jinyiwei can tell stories well, and which ones are more clever, this group of people Zhang Haogu is going to select and prepare to train them well, so that they can be trained Responsible for public opinion.

The second is that Zhang Haogu is now also focusing on carrying out some innovations in the household department.

Zhang Haogu was really in charge of the household department, and Zhang Haogu also discovered that this household department is a department with leaks on all sides, although it is said to be a fat vacancy, although it is said that there is a lot of money, even though it is said that there are many people who bribe him.

However, this household department really has no money.

Last year, the tax revenue of the entire household department was only a mere 300 million taels of silver. I could blackmail 100 million taels from the Donglin Party alone, but the household department really has no money.

No wonder every minister of the household department is thinking about letting the emperor take money out of the internal treasury.

Although there is an element of wanting to covet the emperor's internal funds, but, one thing to say, the little money from the Ministry of Households is really not enough for the Ming Dynasty to spend everywhere.

Disaster relief required money, and the extermination of the rebel army required money. The biggest expenditure was still in Liaodong. As soon as he took office, Sun Chengzong eagerly came to ask for money to build the city, and he opened his mouth to 100 million taels.

Damn dare to ask for it.

But that's not what's really shocking.

Instead, the imperial court owed the salary.

Started paying arrears last year.

It's not that the chief has withheld it, but that the court didn't send it out at all.

And this year, it looks like they will be in arrears again.

To make up for the gap in payment arrears, at least 400 million taels of silver is needed.

At the end of this year, I don't know how much tax there will be.

Zhang Haogu is now thinking about getting some money from Emperor Dog's internal funds to deal with emergencies.

The more this is the case, the more Zhang Haogu feels that his power is not strong enough. He intends to set up a statistics bureau internally to conduct statistics on prices and understand prices.

That way, other people can't fool themselves.

So as to come up with an optimal solution.

In the Bureau of Statistics, Zhang Haogu was going to ask for someone from Wei Zhongxian. Dongchang Fanzi and Jin Yiwei were originally engaged in intelligence, and they were asked to specialize in price statistics.

It is necessary to set up a special training school.

It is better to bypass these officers and send the money directly to the soldiers on the front line. However, this is also difficult, because Daming's chronic illness is too serious.

The second is to promote Arabic numerals.

It specially teaches people to use Arabic numerals to calculate, and after the calculation is completed, it will be marked with Chinese characters.

In addition, Zhang Haogu is still writing a simplified dictionary.

It is also necessary to provide ideas for the dog emperor, so that he can quickly get out the loom and the Jenny machine, and finally the charter of the reform and the details of the specific implementation.

After a whole day, Zhang Haogu's daily rest time is less than two hours.

This is youth, and the second is that he was struck by lightning before crossing, which made his energy different from ordinary people's exuberance, otherwise, he really couldn't stand it.

When Ye Xianggao came over.

Zhang Haogu was making a statistics, and looked up at the scribes beside him: "Tell Sun Chengzong which city to build, how much materials are used, what materials are needed, how much are the soldiers used? Where are the expenses? Write it all to me Send it over carefully, and if I give you the money, you must know exactly where the money was spent!"

The scribe quickly recorded it.

And Zhang Haogu didn't raise his head, and continued to give orders.

The Ministry of Households wants to transfer money, first of all, it asks for money from various places, and then the Ministry of Households decides whether to give it or not, and how much to give. Finally, it reports to the cabinet, which then drafts a draft and reports to the emperor, and the emperor approves the money. Take it out.

This is probably the case with the government affairs of the imperial court.

For example, for the new policy, the cabinet must first come up with a vote to draft it, and then approve it.

Ye Xianggao had been here for a while, and the scribe next to him wanted to inform, but seeing Ye Xianggao waved his hand, the scribe shut his mouth obediently.

And Ye Xianggao looked at Zhang Haogu in surprise.

Judging from his methods of handling government affairs, this person is still of a certain level. He doesn't look like a stunned youth at all. Sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he only asks for one thing, and others can't fool him.

This person is not ordinary.

Ye Xianggao never looked directly at Zhang Haogu in the past, he only thought that he was a flattering minister around the emperor, a running dog of the eunuch, and he used force against you because he couldn't talk about it.

It's simply gentle and sweeping the floor.

This kind of person deserves to be called a scholar?

Can this kind of person also be in charge of the household department?
This kind of person is not even worthy of being his political enemy.

However, now Ye Xianggao felt that this Zhang Haogu was really difficult to deal with.

"Baorui! (Zhang Haogu's words)" Ye Xianggao spoke while Zhang Haogu was taking a break.

"Yo!"

Zhang Haogu looked up and saw Ye Xianggao when he heard the voice, he immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "Old Ye Ge, why did you come to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu glanced at the scribe beside him and said, "Why are you still standing there in a daze, why don't you hurry up and serve tea to Mr. Ye Ge?"

"It's been a while!"

Ye Xianggao took the opportunity to sit down, and said, "Baorui, you are busy with work, so I don't want to disturb you!"

These words are tingly.

"It's really presumptuous, Mr. Ge came here in person, how can he be bothering you!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Mr. Ge, did you have something to do with me today?"

Ye Xianggao stared at Zhang Haogu, and knew that this bastard was asking the question knowingly, just to make himself speak out on his own initiative.

At that moment, he said bluntly: "I want to have a good discussion with you, Baorui, about the new policy of the imperial court!"

"What the old man said is absolutely true!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "I don't know what the old man thinks this new policy should be? Hey, the emperor is also determined, and he must implement the implementation of returning the consumption and envy to the public, sharing the income of the people into the mu, and the gentry paying food as a errand!"

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish!"

Ye Xianggao said, "Don't act too hastily, what do you think, Baorui?"

"Ge Lao's words might as well be more clear!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said, "Which one of these three will come first?"

Ye Xianggao said straightforwardly: "Return to the public!"

Consumption is returned to the public, and other officials still have ways to covet other money. In comparison, the resistance is the least, and the loss is also the smallest.

"actually!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "This is also my idea, but the household department should be in charge of the consumption. In addition, I have a book!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu took a memorial, handed it to Ye Xianggao and said, "Ge Lao, please read it!"

"Yang Lian Yin?" Ye Xianggao frowned.
