Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 564 Fighting between gods
Puncturing the thick sore of confusion about money laws was Zhu Youxiao's best response to foreign dynasties. Regarding the rectification of money laws, Zhu Youxiao had ideas as early as the beginning of his imperial reign. However, the Ming Dynasty at that time was suffering from too many internal and external troubles. Especially in Liaodong, the Jianlu who were sharpening their swords wanted to invade Liaozuo in order to expand the fruits of the Battle of Saarhu, so Zhu Youxiao had to make a choice.

But in the second year of Tianqi, everything became different.

Perhaps the Ming Dynasty still had many internal and external troubles, especially the number of areas with war conflicts. However, the number of troops controlled by the center also increased. The key is that this part of the army obeyed Zhu Youxiao's orders without exception. This made Some things can be done.

From supervising the Shandong water transport case, to Shandong's trial salt reform, to the Ministry of Household Affairs' promotion of tax reform, to the rectification of clan clans, to the reorganization of border fortresses, to the Shaofu taking over disaster relief, to the public election of the Duke of Yansheng, to The imperial edicts and additional dispatches... All of these are initiated from the central center. Perhaps it will take several years or even longer to see the desired results. But if you can't even understand the changes in the central center, how can you do it? Is it implemented effectively at the local level?
All Zhu Youxiao did was to re-establish rules, restore dignity, and re-establish order!
Zhu Youxiao was keenly aware that the Ming Dynasty was gradually becoming independent in its own affairs. This was not a good trend. The Ming Dynasty was a unified dynasty with centralized power, but now it wanted to listen to the instructions but not the propaganda, and even worked together to deal with and deceive the central government. This I want to rebel against Tiangang!
And all this is caused by party strife!

Since this is such a situation, then Zhu Youxiao will take strict measures to deal with it. Don't you want to play party politics? Then I will play with you!

Regarding the ruling parties and factions, Zhu Youxiao will not easily kill them. If he kills them, the local vested interest groups will reintegrate and reshuffle, and then choose new spokespersons, especially In the southeastern provinces, the trend of learning societies is prevalent, which is no joke.

The style of the academy is the origin of the Ju Faction!
Isn't it possible that the Donglin Party was able to achieve the popularity it had in the past because of the opening of the academy?

Rather than playing against the unfamiliar, it is better to play against the familiar.

Benefits will not disappear, they will only transfer.

Just as class can never be outlawed, this is essentially the same thing.

"Look at these Tongbao money-making products. I really didn't expect that under my reign, there would be so many types of money-making products!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, looked at the ministers with different expressions, and said in a cold tone: "They are indeed Tongbao coins recognized by the court, but are they the same? The big one is big, the small one is small, what is the secret behind this? How many things are there that the court still hasn’t figured out?”

"This is just what I ordered people to collect in Beizhili!!"

"The Ming Dynasty has jurisdiction over two capitals and thirteen provinces. How many large and small money bureaus are there? Now I wonder how big the gap is between what the imperial court controls and what the local governments actually own!!"

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion changed.

Zhu Guozuo, Qian Qianyi, Sun Ruyou and other cabinet ministers all showed complicated expressions. Putting aside everything else, just after being in the cabinet for a long time, they discovered that many things in the Ming Dynasty had an invisible hand. , controlling and obstructing in the dark.

Who is causing all this? This is something no one can say.

But among the cabinet members, there are some people who are well aware of these phenomena, but they cannot bring them up because it is a taboo!
"Someone wants to destroy the country of Ming Dynasty!!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Youxiao continued: "If this is the case, then I can only order the young master to make new coins. I still say the same thing. If anyone wants to destroy the Ming Dynasty, I will destroy it." who!"

"Qian Fa, from now on, I will appoint Dong Yingju, the Minister of the Southern Study Room, to be the right censor of the Imperial Palace and the left minister of the Integrity Academy. I will give him the king's official flag and be in charge of all matters concerning Qian Fa. I will give him the title in Beijing." I will sort out the money bureaus in various places first. In the future, it is strictly prohibited to add new money bureaus in various places. The money bureaus in all places must be uniformly reported to the Money Law Office for review. Every batch of money made must be declared in advance. Anyone who dares to violate this system and cast money will be punished. Private casting disposal!”

"In addition, we will strike the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Finance and set up a special coin minting bureau in the Qian Law Office to take charge of all minting matters. When the above matters are completed, when will I transfer the power of minting, which is under the temporary control of the Shaofu, to the Qian Law Office to take charge of it? ! ” One word caused a stir.

Every one of the cabinet ministers standing in Dongnuan Pavilion showed shocked expressions. Even Bi Ziyan, who knew the emperor's thoughts before, did not expect that the emperor's hand would be so big.

The most critical point is that the right to mint money under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry was actually abolished by the emperor. This would cause a storm in the government.

In addition, Dong Yingju, the Minister of Qian Law, not only holds the title of Right Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also holds the title of Left Minister of the Integrity Council. This not only reflects the determination of the emperor, but in a sense, it also strengthens the The majesty of the Integrity Agency.

You must know that when he was supervising the water transport case in Shandong, Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of Integrity, dared to bring Duke Yansheng's house into trouble. This caused impeachment in the court, which was never heard of before.

Even if the emperor kept all these memorials, there are still stubborn people who have been impeaching them. This is looking for opportunities to build momentum for the follow-up, but what about now?

All in vain...

Everything is under Zhu Youxiao's control.

It may seem ironic that Cui Chengxiu was appointed as the Minister of the Institute of Integrity, but in this Ming Dynasty where strange phenomena are constantly happening, Zhu Youxiao needs someone who dares to be an enemy of the world and is willing to sacrifice everything for his own power to take over the Institute of Integrity. As for any problems that may arise during this period, it is not too late to start with a clean government and initially rectify the administration of officials, and then talk about other things!

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

After a brief moment of silence, some people began to stand up and wanted to remonstrate with the emperor, but Zhu Youxiao did not listen, and there could be no concessions.

Just like Yuan Shizhen's salt reform in Shandong, some people used the name of disaster to promote banditry in the Huaihe River. Zhu Youxiao's attitude was very tough and he directly sent Qi Jin to lead his troops to suppress it.

Before the authority of the center has really been established, the people below are trying every possible means to obstruct it. If they dare to give in, then they might as well not do anything at all.

The second year of Tianqi is destined to be an extraordinary year!
Foreign troubles must continue to be resolved.

It’s time to take action against internal troubles!

"I still say what I said, I have made up my mind!"

Glancing at the ministers in front of him, Zhu Youxiao said with firm eyes: "I want to see how far this world can go in chaos. You are the cabinet ministers and my assistants in ruling the world. If the world continues in this chaos, then what will happen if the world continues to be in such chaos? Just let’s do it!”
