Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 287 The Shaofu borrows money

The difficulty lies in the solidification of thinking, solidification of rules, and solidification of interests. It is difficult to change a person. You have your own ideas, and he has his own opinions. But if you want to change more people, It is undoubtedly more difficult because there are too many mixed things.

If you want new concepts, cognitions, systems, and systems to take root in the territory of Ming Dynasty, you must have enough patience and energy to guide bit by bit, and then, over time, through the catalysis brought by interests, Only then can it take root and sprout.

The various remarks he heard in the teahouse made Zhu Youxiao feel a lot better, because Zhu Youxiao was keenly aware that some of the new things he wanted to spread began to spread in the capital, although the efficiency was relatively slow. But change is better than staying the same.

"Luo Qing, are you not dissatisfied with the various Jinyiwei stations stationed in various places in the capital being abolished and merged?"

Leaving the bustling teahouse, Zhu Youxiao walked forward and smiled at Luo Sigong, who was accompanying him: "Shuntian Prefecture and Liangyi Guojing County have specially set up patrol offices at all levels, usurping some of the powers of Jinyiwei. I'm afraid There is a lot of opposition or dissatisfaction within Jinyiwei, right?"

"No, no."

Luo Sigong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. The Jinyiwei can only obey the decree issued by His Majesty and have absolutely no other ideas."

How could you not have any ideas?

Zhu Youxiao smiled and did not point out Luo Sigong. The part of the power occupied by the Jinyi Guards, the security and theft arrest in the capital's boundaries, seemed very small, but from what perspective should we look at it.

Say nothing else.

The monthly filial piety money collected by Jinyiwei in various offices in the capital is probably a lot of income. Before this part of the power was taken away, they could get extra money on a monthly basis, but now it has been taken away and handed over to all levels. Under the signature of the patrol officer, no one would be happy.

At present, in the various offices inside and outside the capital, those in charge of these departments are the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and the patrol and police offices at all levels. When it comes to fire bans and other matters, there are more patrol and defense offices at all levels.

The sad departure of Jinyiwei did not make the division of powers clear. The five-city military division, patrols at all levels, and patrols at all levels interfered with each other. In reality, when doing things, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps in the road, but no one knows , all the above are part of the "Greater Capital Strategy".

When the main forces aiding the Liao Dynasty return to Beijing in triumph, the responsibilities of this department will be sorted out, and the chaos will be cut with a sharp knife, so that matters such as the capital's security, public security, and fire bans, and the garrison and garrison of the capital will be clarified again, and then the capital and capital will be realized. Completely stable roots!

Nothing matters big or small.

Without clarification and standardization from the institutional level, if you want to implement the idea of ​​the "Great Capital City Strategy", it is undoubtedly just empty talk. Zhu Youxiao wants to build the capital into a template. After constantly exploring and summarizing the corresponding experience, he will clarify the construction and management of the city. Then implement it in an orderly manner.

"We must pay close attention to the dispatch of Jin Yiwei to various places in Beizhili."

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, stretched out his hand and said to Luo Sigong: "Since the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, they must shoulder corresponding responsibilities. I hope that the Jinyiwei can be used at all times, not some can be used and some cannot be used."

"I understand."

Luo Sigong was worried, but he did not dare to say anything else. He could only follow the emperor's wishes and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take care of these matters."

"Ah."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let's go and hang out somewhere else."

Since the Banner School's Town and Fu Division was specially established in Jinyiwei, which involves the expansion of the Banner School, it has moved from decentralization in the past to centralization. Officials at all levels of Jinyiwei, including the commander Luo Sigong, cannot appoint people openly. This is The foundation to ensure the purity of the Jinyiwei team.

In the past, Principal Zhu You did not intervene or interfere too much in the expansion of Jinyiwei's flagship school because Jinyiwei needed to do things. But now that the overall situation is gradually stabilizing, some things will be tightened, including the East Factory, West Factory, and Nei Factory, which involve The issue of additional factory quotas has also been tightened.

Factory guards were an important tool to defend the imperial power. Zhu Youxiao would never allow private forces to expand in disorder in the factory guards. Such factory guards would no longer be the factory guards of the Emperor of Heaven.

After a private visit in the capital in private, Zhu Youxiao and his party did not return to the palace until Youshi. Along the way, they saw a lot of changes in the capital and also discovered some problems.

Zhu Youxiao did not stop at the problems he found. After returning to Qianqing Palace, he summoned Yin Sunchuanting of Shuntian Prefecture into the palace. When encountering a problem, he must solve it. No matter how big or small the problem is, the most feared thing is delay. Once delayed, Small problems can turn into big problems, and big problems can turn into intractable diseases.

While summoning Sun Chuanting, an oral edict was passed from Qianqing Palace to the Shaofu Yamen Office.

Under the night, the Shaofu Government Office was still brightly lit.

Many officials in the Shaofu have not been demoted.

In many government offices in Beijing, they are so busy every day, and their duties are not released until very late. It is not just the Integrity Administration, such as Shaofu, Shuntian government offices, Daxing and Wanping county offices, and even outside the capital. There is also a military and warfare bureau, which is all like this, because there are too many things to do.

The Shaofu Council Hall. "Everyone, is this really going to be done in accordance with His Majesty's will?"

Sun Guozhen frowned with an unusually solemn expression. He looked at his colleagues sitting in the hall and said, "In the name of the Shaofu, bonds are issued to external parties, and it is better to use the Huangzhuang property as an anchor. If this matter is really spread, I am afraid that the government and the public will be in trouble." There must be an uproar from above and below."

Yu Yinggui, Shao Jiechun, and Lu Guanxiang showed different expressions when they heard what Sun Guozhen said, "You look at me, I look at you."

The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing.

"Why don't you speak?"

Seeing this, Sun Guozhen frowned and said: "The mention of bonds has never appeared before. Rather than saying that the young government is issuing bonds, it is better to say that the emperor is borrowing money. If this is really done, how will the world view your majesty? How should the imperial court view it? ?”

"say what?"

Lu Guanxiang said at this moment: "Tomorrow I will go to Qianqing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit and tell His Majesty frankly that the internal funds still have no less than millions of taels of silver, and the gold reserves are no less than 50 taels. Even though the young master oversees a lot of things, No need to worry about gold and silver in a short time?”

"if not?"

Sun Guozhen asked rhetorically.

"Then do you think His Majesty doesn't know this?"

Yu Yinggui, who had been silent, now looked at Sun Guozhen.

"I……"

Sun Guozhen was speechless for a moment.

As a member of the Shaofu, how could Sun Guozhen not know how well the Emperor knew about the Shaofu's family background, but it was exactly the same, Sun Guozhen just couldn't figure out why the Emperor would do this.

The Shaofu issued bonds. At best, it was to lure people in the capital and Gyeonggi to buy them at attractive interest rates, and the principal and interest would be repaid upon maturity. At worst, it was to seize wealth.

At least that's how Sun Guozhen understood it.

It is obvious that the Young Mansion has no shortage of gold and silver, yet it still insists on doing this. If when the bond needs to be paid, the Young Mansion cannot come up with so much silver, will it really be necessary to use the property of the Imperial Mansion to redeem it?

Isn't this a joke? !

As time went by, the officials who were originally assigned to the Shaofu by Zhu Youxiao gradually adapted to working in the Shaofu. Their perspective of thinking about problems was first of all based on the Shaofu.

After all, I have been scolded a lot and criticized a lot, so I don’t care that much anymore.

"Actually, I didn't think it was a big deal when it came to issuing bonds."

Shao Jiechun said with a serious expression: "Not long ago, the memorial that was urgently delivered from Henan was forwarded to my young manor by the emperor. Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch in charge of the rites and the admiral of the Western Jishi Factory, used the Nifan field property as an anchor. River control bonds were sold in Luoyang, with a share of 300 million taels, to be used for the needs of the Yellow River. Although there were some problems initially, they were eventually solved by Fang Zhenghua and they sold all the bonds."

"What do you mean by these things?"

Sun Guozhen frowned and said, "Nifan's land is used as an anchor, and Huangzhuang's land is used as an anchor. Can that be the same thing?"

"It's the same thing."

Shao Jiechun said: "The crux of the problem is what the emperor wants the young man to do if he wants to issue bonds. If there is no serious matter, it is best not to issue the bonds."

Ok?
Sun Guozhen raised his brows slightly, as if he understood what Shao Jiechun meant. If he went to Qianqing Palace tomorrow to meet the Holy Spirit to remonstrate with the emperor, maybe things would turn around?
"Everyone, it's getting late."

Lu Guanxiang looked out the window and said: "Why don't we come here first? Anyway, we have prepared everything we need to prepare. Let's all go back home first. If you have any ideas, it's best to think about it yourself. , so that I can explain everything clearly when I go to see the Holy Spirit tomorrow."

Lu Guanxiang's proposal was recognized by everyone. Unknowingly, the Shaofu began to expand. There were more things under its jurisdiction and more officials were added. However, for the civil servants with affairs in foreign dynasties, in their hearts Does not recognize the civil servants of the Shaofu...
