Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 188 The wheel of history has been changed, speculators must die! (seeking subscription)

Create a better system that completely replaces the prime minister?
Zhu Biao had considered this idea before, but he didn't have any good ideas.

Moreover, even if he had an idea, he didn't dare to tell his father, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would think him lazy.

After all, the father has worked so hard, as a son, how can he still say he is tired?
Even though Zhu Biao was already under great pressure, he still didn't dare to speak, and could only hold on reluctantly.

Every day, Zhu Biao feels like he is walking on thin ice as he carefully handles various major national affairs, which keeps his spirit in a tense state.

And the only way for him to relieve stress is to do things with men and women, which has created a vicious circle and made his body go from bad to worse. Although there are no problems or problems yet, the roots have been planted, and it will be a matter of time before they take root.

If Su Che wants to change Zhu Biao's result, he can only change fundamentally.

If Zhu Biao's body is only recuperated, the problem will continue to appear after a long time!
Therefore, Su Che thought of changing the system.

Let the emperor's work pressure be relieved!
He was not worried that this would arouse Lao Zhu's dissatisfaction, because history had already proved that it was wrong to do so. The future emperors would not even talk about being diligent, and they would not even go to court for decades!

From Su Che's point of view, with the position of emperor, one doesn't need to do everything personally, and the most important thing is to arrange the right things to the right people, know how to divide the work, and be good at knowing people.

In the Ming Dynasty, the last emperor, Chongzhen, was too hardworking and diligent, which led to further collapse and accelerated the process of destroying the country.

It can be seen from this that if you don't have enough ability to do everything yourself, it's really not a good thing.

At this moment, Zhu Biao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked curiously, "What is Father Emperor going to do?"

"It's very simple, form a cabinet!"

Su Che directly brought out Zhu Di's cabinet system.

Since ancient times, the prime minister has been either the emperor's right-hand man or the emperor's confidant.

It is not uncommon for the prime minister to take power and completely suppress the emperor.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China practiced the system of independent ministers, and the Sui and Tang dynasties merged together. It was not until the Ming abolished the prime minister and established a cabinet that the prime minister disappeared completely.

The essence of the cabinet system is the private property of the emperor, similar to a secretarial institution, rather than a national statutory institution.

This determines that the power of the cabinet actually represents the imperial power, so the power will be great when the emperor lets go or is trusted, and the power will be very small when the emperor does not let go.

This kind of arbitrariness just proves that the cabinet is a vassal of the imperial power, and it is all determined by the emperor's likes and dislikes.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers manipulated the government, and the power was overwhelming for a while. The essence was not that the imperial power was truncated, but a manifestation of the imperial power being strengthened.

If it was placed in other dynasties, it would have already started to add Jiuxi, enter the king's rank, drive six chariots, and use the emperor's luanyi to go in and out.

In the final analysis, the power of the cabinet is bestowed by the imperial power, while the power of the prime minister is bestowed by the system.

Even the chief assistant of the cabinet like Zhang Juzheng couldn't evade the imperial power, and he still had to win over a great eunuch like Feng Bao.

The cabinet system can only come up with one solution, which is the so-called "bill proposal".

In the end, it is still necessary for the emperor to approve and issue it to the six ministries for implementation.

If the emperor is also lazy, there will be an institution such as the Supervisor of Rites, because it can represent the emperor to approve the red seal, which will directly inflate the power of the eunuchs, and will also cause eunuchs to rule in disorder.

Even though Yan Song could be regarded as a powerful person in the Jiajing Dynasty, with one person under one man and more than ten thousand people, but in front of the Jiajing Emperor, he could only bow his knees.

Emperor Wanli was addicted to wine and sex, and he did not go to court for so many years, and the country was able to operate normally. It can be said that the cabinet played a great role.

Of course, even if it works, it will be very difficult.

The reason for the problems since then is that the emperor has problems, not the cabinet.

Therefore, in Su Che's view, it is entirely feasible to use the cabinet system to completely replace the prime minister system.

There are advantages to the cabinet system, but there are also disadvantages - no system is perfect.

As for this system will also have problems in the future, that is for sure - no system can be maintained forever and run perfectly.

At this moment, Su Che was explaining the cabinet system in detail, while Zhu Biao was listening very seriously, the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more powerful he felt.

If you think about it carefully, this system is really quite perfect!

Although the cabinet shared the work of the emperor, it did not share the rights of the emperor. Instead, it allowed the monarch to exercise dictatorship.

Under such a system, as long as the future emperor is a little more normal... Theoretically speaking, there will be no major problems!
Not long after, Su Che finished talking about the entire cabinet system, then looked at Zhu Biao, and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

"Father has considered it quite properly. My son thinks that there are no mistakes or omissions. The cabinet system prepared by father is really powerful. Has this been considered for a long time?" Zhu Biao asked curiously.

"Well, I've been thinking about it a few years ago." Su Che nodded.

He can't say that this system was just thought of temporarily when he saw Zhu Biao coming, although this is the truth...

"By the way, did you come here for the political reform?" Su Che suddenly thought of something, and asked hastily.

"Yes, Father." Zhu Biao said quickly, "My son is here this time to hope that Father will allow me to intervene in the reform and new policy. I hope to prove the birth of this new policy!"

"My ministers are fully aware of the reform and new policy. When I learned about it, I couldn't help clapping my hands and applauding. These thoughts of the emperor are really wonderful!"

At this moment, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he praised again and again: "Simplifying taxation can greatly eliminate exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes from harming the people. At the same time, it can also make those landlords have nowhere to escape and let them pay taxes honestly. , and can fill the national treasury, it really kills two birds with one stone!"

"Moreover, the tax collection is precious money. I didn't understand this at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized the deep intention of the father. I really admire it."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Su Che said with a smile, "Then tell me."

"Yes." Zhu Biao thought for a moment, then said:

"It has been a few years since Baochao was promoted. Although Baochao has helped the imperial court finances, but in recent days, the purchasing power of Baochao has been deteriorating. Even though the imperial court has made many policies, it still cannot stop the depreciation of Baochao. It's worth money, and it caused a lot of bad effects..."

"For example, the most important part of the salaries given to ministers is treasure notes. Now that the purchasing power of treasure notes has shrunk, those ministers have long been complaining."

"The ministers' lives are too tight, which really loses the majesty of the court, and it will also aggravate the corruption of officials."

"In addition, when treasure notes become less and less valuable, less and less people use them. At this time, treasure notes become a hot potato. After all, no one wants their wealth to slowly melt like ice and snow."

"After the treasure banknotes inevitably become less and less valuable, no government decree can stop it. I have also thought of many ways, but I feel that it is useless."

"However, after my father withdrew from this reform and innovation decree, even if it has not yet been implemented, the value of those precious banknotes among the people has already begun to rise, and many businessmen are even ready to buy treasure banknotes, which further stirs up the treasure banknotes. The price of banknotes!"

Hearing these words, Su Che couldn't help frowning, hoarding money?This behavior is really bad enough!

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world. When these people received the news immediately, they naturally realized that this was a good opportunity to make money.

The treasure bills are not worth much now, and they will be sold when they become valuable. The entry and exit will be at least [-]% profit!
Make money directly!
but.

This is a proper speculative behavior.

Why do they know this news?

It's nothing more than someone in the court!
The best way to make money in the world is to use the guidance of the imperial court's policy to make money.

For example, when a war is about to break out, relevant items are purchased wantonly, and then sold at a high price.

This kind of behavior is also a proper death behavior, and it seems that few people will do such a stupid thing.

But the fact is just the opposite.

There are not only people who do it, but many.

As long as there are enough interests, even if you sell the rope to hang yourself, someone will sell it.

People die for money, birds die for food, this has been the case since ancient times!

Su Che said calmly: "You reminded us that we will let Jin Yiwei handle this matter. If anyone dares to hoard treasures and affect the implementation of the reform government, no matter how powerful his background is, he will have to confiscate his family and exterminate his family! Strict order punish!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "Is this matter so serious?"

Su Che nodded, and said seriously:

"Once these people dare to do anything for the benefit, they will have no bottom line in the future. Since the reform is reformed, they must kill and shed blood, let them know that some things can be done, and some things cannot be done!"

"Biao'er, this matter is much more serious than you imagined!"

"Once these people use the policy to make a lot of money and successfully taste the sweetness, then all government orders will not be implemented smoothly!"

"This head must not be opened!"

"This matter is much more serious than you think!"

Zhu Biao nodded quickly when he heard this, and said seriously: "I understand!"

In Zhu Biao's view, even if these people inflate the price of precious banknotes, as long as the right to issue them is in the hands of the court, there will be no problems, and this matter is not a problem.

But from Su Che's point of view, this matter has nothing to do with Baochao, but to take advantage of the imperial court's policy to speculate, causing very serious consequences.

These guys must die!

There is no wiggle room!

"Biao'er, you don't need to be in charge of the Reform and New Deal, just leave it to Fang Keqin to do it alone. As for those hoarding money, we will let Jin Yiwei take care of it!"

"As for you... We have already arranged for you. You are responsible for forming the prototype of the cabinet. This matter is also the top priority. We will entrust this task to you. Are you confident to complete it?"

Su Che looked at Zhu Biao.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Biao quickly nodded and said seriously: "My son will definitely do his best to complete it!"

"Okay, as long as we have confidence!" Su Che smiled.

Let Zhu Biao be in charge of the Reform and New Deal?

joke!

Since ancient times, reformers have never had a good end!
Shang Yang was smashed by a car, Wu Qi was shot to death by random arrows, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were relegated, and Wang Anshi was directly expelled from the court.

Even Zhang Juzheng was nearly exhumed after his death, his eldest son was forced to commit suicide, and more than ten members of his family starved to death!
Regardless of whether the reform is successful or not, there is basically no good end.

the reason is simple.

This kind of thing is too hateful!
Offending countless vested interest groups and becoming the target of public criticism, still want to have good fruit?
Even if Su Che was crazy, he would not let Zhu Biao get involved in this matter, but it would be best to let Fang Keqin, who should have been executed, do this matter.

The reason why Su Che spared Fang Keqin's life, promoted him to be the censor of Zuodu, delegated great power, and was in charge of reforms, was not only to plot against his own courtiers, but also to find a decent courtier. The right person!
This candidate is actually quite difficult to find.

After thinking about it, this Fang Keqin is very suitable!
After being sold by the courtiers, he has completely become a lone minister, and his ability is not bad, and he prefers introversion. It is really appropriate to use such a person to preside over the reform.

Perhaps Fang Keqin probably knew his fate. Since ancient times, reformers have never had a good end. Once he presides over the reform, his reputation will get worse and worse. He will be splashed with all kinds of dirty water and become notorious!
But he has no way of turning back, and he also understands that future generations will judge whether this matter is right or wrong!

After the reform is successful, he will most likely be famous in history, and even hope to become the first official of the Hongwu Dynasty!
For such a goal, Fang Keqin will work very hard.

However, this made Fang Keqin's son Fang Xiaoru suffer.

In the history that Su Che knew, Fang Xiaoru was the seed of scholars all over the world, with a great reputation, a high reputation, and extraordinary.

But now, after Fang Xiaoru is about to become a "treacherous minister", he will never be able to gain such a high reputation again!

……

In a high gate compound, many carriages came in and out, and there were many large boxes on the carriages, causing some passers-by to look sideways, and some were curious about what was in so many boxes?But no one dared to rely on it, because the background of the owner is not simple!
Not far from this house, there is a teahouse.

And in a corner of the second floor of this teahouse.

The commander of Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. His eyes were fierce, and he was staring at the courtyard not far away. He couldn't help but sneered and said, "Brothers, we didn't do anything about the big empty printing case last time." If you can make meritorious service, you must seize the opportunity this time!"

"Your Majesty said that anyone who dares to resell treasures and hoard them maliciously is affecting the implementation of government orders. No matter what monstrous background they have, they will be punished as crimes!"

"I have investigated the background of the owner of this house, and his background is Xuan Ninghou!"

"However, if something happened... so what if it's the Marquis of Xuan Ning?"

"The more important people are, the easier it is for us to make great contributions, the easier it is for us to stand up!"

"When the carriage is finished, it's time for us to do it!"
