Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 62 Power!

The reform has to be done step by step, slowly.

It would be too radical not to come up.

Zhang Haogu has not been idle during this period of time.

In addition to a lot of messy things from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the new laws and new policies need to be taken care of by yourself, as well as dictionaries and mathematics.

Secondly, Zhang Haogu is also looking through the materials every day.

Hope to get first-hand information about Zhang Juzheng's reform.

Will there be any problems during the reform process?

Then, Zhang Haogu summed up an experience.

His own power is still too small.

Hubu Shangshu is the second grade, which seems to be very high, but it is still far from enough.

At the very least, I have to be a cabinet scholar.

It's not enough to be in the back, you have to be the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Haogu, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty!
The power of the ticket is in his own hands, and if he has a good relationship with Wei Gonggong, it is possible to achieve Zhang Juzheng's power.

And this is just to achieve Zhang Juzheng's power. If you want to make a profound reform, you also need to fight against huge interest groups. Don't look at yourself today letting alternate officials to toss the incumbent officials. Once they become incumbent officials, they will immediately support the old system. By.

Zhang Haogu finally understood why so many people were trying so hard to climb up.

Besides wealth, power is equally alluring.

This is the most poisonous drug.

Now that I am just a minister of the household department, I have already started to fight for power. If I don't have enough power, it is simply not enough to support and implement my own ideas.

If he was the Chief Assistant of Ming Dynasty, would he still have to deal with the Donglin Party like this?
No need at all!
Directly implement the New Deal, and those who are disobedient will directly deal with him.

Fortunately, the emperor is Zhu Youxiao.

It's really hard to change someone else.

Of course, Zhang Haogu also understands that there is still a lot of distance between him and Shoufu. At the very least, he must have his own party.

Now the Ming Dynasty has already formed a party struggle.

And, intensified.

Now, however, the Donglin Party has the upper hand, and there are also the Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, and the Eunuch Party that Wei Gongzheng is desperately expanding, and he is definitely the Eunuch Party.

As for the ghosts and monsters in the eunuchs.

Zhang Haogu felt a little tired after thinking about it.

Although I am quite illiterate in this era, my ideals and aspirations are not just dawdling.

There are currently two available

One is Tool Man No. [-] Zhang Ruitu, and the other is Tool Man No. [-] Wang Zhijian.

These two are veterans in the officialdom.

It can be used, but it is definitely not my hardcore confidant.

Zhang Haogu himself had an idea.

He needs to accumulate a group of people to push himself up. Now, he can use this group of alternate officials to pull them into his camp.

Snapper
Zhu Youxiao looked at the memorial book in his hand, but couldn't help laughing: "Master, it seems that these Donglin Party are nothing more than that, and they will be honest if they kill a few people at will!"

Wei Zhongxian on the other side smiled and said: "Our family has heard that Master Zhang and Ye Xianggao have been arguing for a whole day and night?"

Zhu Youxiao: "Then, master, did you beat him?"

cough! cough!
Zhang Haogu coughed immediately: "Your Majesty, I'm not that kind of person!"

Zhu Youxiao: "What a pity, what a pity!"

Zhang Haogu: "..."

It seems that this dog emperor likes to watch himself use violence.

After coughing, Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Eunuch Wei, during this period of time, the houses of these Donglin traitors were raided. I don't know how much money was stolen?"

Wei Zhongxian laughed, shook his hand and said, "50 taels!"

50 taels!

Zhang Haogu frowned and asked, "So little?"

"Didn't raid their homes!" Wei Zhongxian said: "The old slaves have arranged for people to go to their hometowns to raid their homes during this period of time. They don't actually have much money in their hands. The main thing is their fields and land!"

Zhang Haogu nodded, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Eunuch Wei, can you give me this sum of money?"

what?
Eunuch Wei was slightly taken aback.

This sum of money is actually for internal money.

The money entered the emperor's private treasury, so the emperor had the final say. Now that Zhang Haogu asked for money, it naturally depended on Zhu Youxiao's intention.

Zhang Haogu naturally knew that the key to the matter was Zhu Youxiao, so he said immediately: "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of the household department during this period. The loopholes in this household department are really too big. It is very big. Second, this year’s bandit suppression in Shandong is another sum of money. Third, this year’s hail all over the country is also leaking everywhere. Fourth, last year, the imperial court was in arrears for a year’s military pay. This year, it must not be in arrears again. Now the household deposit is less than one million!!"

"what?"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being taken aback, and couldn't help but said, "It's so serious? Why didn't I know before?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Changgeng deserves to die, but I can't skin him and pull the weeds, but put him to death!"

No matter how confused Zhu Youxiao was, he understood that this military salary must never be owed.

Zhang Haogu glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

The expression on Wei Zhongxian's face was also somewhat unnatural.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Liu Changgeng. The problem lies with Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei directly suppressed the memorial and never handed it over to Zhu Youxiao.

Among other things, this dead eunuch is a good hand in power.

If it was an ordinary person, there would be absolutely no chance to meet the emperor. Liu Changgeng had no chance to meet Zhu Youxiao, so naturally he had no way to report these situations to Zhu Youxiao.

Then, the dead eunuch intercepted the memorial.

Of course, Zhang Haogu can't backstab Eunuch Wei now, they are still allies now.

His wings are not plump enough.

If you give Eunuch Wei a knife, and then Eunuch Wei takes revenge on you carefully, then you will be in big trouble.

At that moment, Zhang Haogu nodded: "Exactly, even if this Liu Changgeng is executed Ling Chi, it will not reduce the chance of his crimes!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately opened his mouth and said: "Our family has arrested Li Changgeng's whole family. The women will be sent to the priest's workshop, and all the men will be sent to the army. If you owe the salary, you will owe the whole family first!"

"This is Li Changgeng's own fault. It's just a matter of urgency. We still need to get a sum of money to solve the problem of payment arrears!" Zhang Haogu said.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and then said: "Since that's the case, then do as the master wants!"

Zhang Haogu cupped his hands at Wei Zhongxian and said: "There is something, I have to trouble Eunuch Wei!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately said politely: "Master Zhang has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

"I plan to use this money on the Bureau of Statistics, and it is also used on these officials who are filled immediately. However, these officials who are filled immediately still have to be selected. I will trouble my father-in-law to pick a group of poor and poor people. These people Seeing that officials want to get promoted, they are motivated to change their destiny, and they will definitely cheer up the spirit of 12 copies!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

"Master Zhang!" Wei Zhongxian said with a half-smile, "Actually, you don't need to choose!"

"No need to choose?" Zhang Haogu couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "Why?"
