Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 306 Killer
After working as an official for a long time, whether in the central government or at the local level, I have more or less understood the truth. The formulation and implementation of any policy will go through a game between the central government and departments, and between the central government and local governments. If there are new policies, there will inevitably be fluctuations.

After all, there are too many things in this world that cannot be solved by a decree. If things were really that simple, and things could be effectively implemented with a decree or an official letter from a high-level official, then there wouldn't be many fights.

The prosperity of the world comes because of profit, and the prosperity of the world comes because of profit.

When the territory under your jurisdiction reaches a certain extent, and the maintenance and development of the place depends on people to govern, then there must be many interests involved in invisible places. After all, people living in the world cannot avoid being humane and worldly, and many phenomena have evolved from this. , Existence is truth, this cannot be obliterated by anyone alone.

Neither can the emperor!
Therefore, any new coup law in any sense will eventually escalate into a power struggle. Only by defeating people with different ideas and defeating all stubborn opponents can you promote the implementation of the New Deal. If you do not do this, you will not be able to do things without distractions. , this is the national condition of Ming Dynasty!
The Xiyuan at night, illuminated by the bright moon in the sky, has a unique charm. Stars twinkle from time to time, and various insects chirp incessantly. Being here feels like being in a fairyland.

"When you eat, you should eat well and chew your food carefully. Why are you eating in such a hurry? Could it be that I will treat you badly in terms of food?"

"Brother Imperial, we want to finish eating early and sort out the things we didn't understand in the past."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty..."

Under the guidance of Wang Tiqian, a slightly tired Bi Ziyan approached the side hall where Chongzhi Hall was located and was obviously startled when he heard the sound coming from the hall.

"Lao Bi Ge, wait a moment."

With a smile on his face, Wang Tiqian looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Let our family enter the palace to report to the emperor."

"It's work."

Bi Ziyan bowed slightly and said.

To be honest, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian were raised in the palace by the emperor. Zhu Youjian was okay, but Zhu Yujian's status as the grandson of the Tang Dynasty prince actually caused a lot of private discussions in the outer court. Even before Zhu Yujian was brought to Beijing, the inner court condemned him to go to the Tang Dynasty Prince's Mansion. The eunuch of the old Tang Dynasty consigned the favored concubine of the old Tang king to death, and all this was quietly spread back to the capital.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all about these comments and felt that they were inconsistent with etiquette. He was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he had to do whatever he wanted to do.

If you have any dissatisfaction, just hold it in!

"Mr. Bi Ge, please come into the hall."

Not long after, Wang Tiqian walked out of the hall and extended his hand to signal to Bi Ziyan.

Bi Ziyan nodded, stretched out his hands to straighten his robes, and after everything was packed away, he lowered his head and walked into the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he could smell the aroma of barbecue.

"Aiqing is here."

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, saw Bi Ziyan walking in. He put down the knife in his hand and said to Bi Ziyan with a smile: "I'm afraid Aiqing hasn't eaten yet. Someone, come and prepare tableware for Aiqing."

This……

Before Bi Ziyan could perform the ceremony, the emperor showed concern for him. Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, who were sitting aside, looked at Bi Ziyan curiously.

"Your Majesty~"

"Eat first, then talk after eating."

Seeing Bi Ziyan raising his hands and bowing, and wanting to say something to himself, Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hands and said, "I understand a truth. This person is like iron rice and steel. If he doesn't eat for one meal, he will be hungry. If he doesn't eat, he will be hungry." Whatever you want to say, let’s talk after we finish eating.” After saying that, regardless of what Bi Ziyan thought, he picked up the knife at hand and continued to cut the roasted lamb leg in front of him, while Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian were sitting next to him. , then they will cut the meat and eat it in the same way.

Why not eat separately?

If someone knew about this, he would definitely come to Shugui for advice.

Seeing this scene, Bi Ziyan couldn't help but frown, but secretly said in his heart that Zhu Youxiao didn't care about those complicated rules and etiquette, especially in private. It's good to be casual, but it's too tiring to carry them all the time. , living is already tiring enough, why should you make yourself unhappy?
As for public occasions, you still have to abide by the rules and etiquette. After all, there are some things that you can't go too far.

Compared with the meals for Zhu Youxiao and others, Bi Ziyan's meal was much richer. Bi Ziyan was from Zichuan, so for the dinner prepared, Zhu Youxiao specially ordered the dining room to prepare some multi-grain pancakes to go with it. Sliced ​​lamb leg, scallions and other side dishes, as well as a bowl of millet porridge, Bi Ziyan's nose felt sour for some reason when he saw these.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything else. He chewed the roasted lamb leg slowly. He couldn't compare with Bi Ziyan, an older man. He needs nutrition at his current age, otherwise his body will be damaged. It’s too much to bear, let alone people like Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian.

Eat well to be healthy.

Good health makes things easier to do.

No matter how busy he is on weekdays, Zhu Youxiao never messes around when it comes to food. He pays great attention to nutritional balance. Especially after the overhaul, the food supervisor Shang is not only more perfect in terms of system, but also pays more attention to the dishes he cooks. There is no room for carelessness when it comes to things.

This dinner took almost two sticks of incense to finish.

"Ai Qing, let's talk about it."

Zhu Youxiao, who had eaten and drank enough, leaned forward, put down the tea cup he was holding, looked at Bi Ziyan who was sitting upright, and said with a smile: "Why should the Ministry of Household Affairs issue bonds at today's cabinet meeting?" I want to hear your true thoughts."

coming!

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, who were sitting nearby, looked at each other with a bit of curiosity in their brows. To be honest, they wanted to know why Bi Ziyan asked the Ministry of Revenue to issue bonds.

Bi Ziyan did not rush to reply, but looked at Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian specifically. Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, he knew that it was the emperor's intention for them to stay.

"Initiate Your Majesty."

Thinking of this, Bi Ziyan lowered his head slightly and said to the emperor: "I have this idea because of the bonds issued by the Shaofu. I want to issue bonds in the name of the Ministry of Revenue. I not only want to raise a batch of live silver, but also Then to alleviate the current predicament, and more importantly, I want to take this opportunity to measure the land!"

really.

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Bi Ziyan with interest. As the financial minister of the Ming Dynasty that he valued, if Bi Ziyan did this, he was just following the example of a cat and trying to demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, then Representative Zhu Youxiao was stunned, but this was not the case.

"The situation in Guantian has always been ups and downs."

Bi Ziyan said with a serious expression: "Since I took over as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I have wanted to re-measure the official land, because I think there are big problems with the land tax. However, by abolishing the assessment of Liao pay and never increasing the tax, In addition, the Yamen of the Governor of Jiliao inspected the fields of the guards, which made me understand the truth. If this matter is to be done, it may be difficult to implement it without a suitable reason."

Bi Ziyan is talented after all, and he is well aware of the rules in the officialdom. Although he dislikes them very much, there are too many things and situations in the officialdom, and it is not whether you like it or not. After all, Everyone does this, and if you do the opposite, you will appear to be out of the ordinary.

Once you are abrupt in the officialdom, you will encounter all kinds of troubles and calculations. After all, if you don’t want to greet everyone, then you should say goodbye first. It is precisely this that makes Bi Ziyan know better than anyone else what he wants to sort out. There are too many things that need to be done under the jurisdiction of the Good Household Department.
