Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 579 Experience (3)

The Shaofu, Military Academy, Liangshufang and other administrative offices that closely revolve around the imperial power have changed over time. Perhaps when they were first set up or reused, the scale of the above-mentioned administrative offices was extremely small, but Along with the struggle and game, coupled with Zhu Youxiao's absolute will, in addition to the group of civil servants in the outer dynasty, a brand new group of civil servants is constantly growing!
The dispute between imperial power and ministerial power will never dissipate. This is a characteristic brought about by power itself. This phenomenon has existed as early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao never thought of eradicating it. If he really wanted to do this, the Ming Dynasty It will fall apart in a very short period of time. After all, ministerial power is also an important part of the ruling structure!

However, in view of the fact that Ming Dynasty currently has many hidden disadvantages and cancers, Zhu Youxiao must find another way to effectively solve these problems!

Shaofu.

Minting and Clearing Officials Division.

"Compared with other departments under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, our company's affairs are relatively less complicated and the pressure is relatively less."

In the main hall, Liu Xiaozu, who was appointed as the chief officer of the Mint and Cleaning Department, was sitting on the official hat chair and looked at the two newcomers who were selected to join the Mining and Cleaning Department. "But if you want to officially join our company, you still need to pass the assessment." That's it. These are some files related to the money laws of our court. You must memorize them in the next half month. I will conduct random inspections at that time. If you are not satisfied with me, then I will not Sorry, I'll go back to the Young Master's office for selection."

Jiang Chen and He Kai looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.

Neither of them expected that after they were assigned to serve in the Shaofu, and were selected from within the Shaofu to serve in the Mint and Cleaning Department, they would actually be different from other departments.

As the Jinshi of the second class of the new department, they have their own pride. They thought they could be sent to the outer court to observe the government, but they did not want to be sent directly to the Shaofu.

"Don't think that the Young Mansion is so easy to get into."

Liu Xiaozu lifted the sleeves of his robe, picked up the tea cup at hand, glanced at the two of them and said, "The Shaofu has an external assessment and selection process. Regardless of origin, as long as you can pass the assessment and selection, you can be awarded the corresponding official position. It is precisely for this reason. As a result, the Shaofu has been criticized a lot in the outside world, and it is even said that those who serve in the Shaofu are all lucky ministers without exception."

"But everything the young master does, without exception, is based on the will of the emperor, and everything he does is closely related to the country and the country!"

"Only in the prefectures and counties under the rule of Northern Zhili, the major projects that have been started under the leadership of the Shaofu involve many fields such as roads, water conservancy, workshops, shipping, and shipbuilding. Not to mention what changes these will bring to the local area. Just the gathering of so many unemployed people has alleviated so many troubles and hidden dangers for the local area!”

When talking about this, Liu Xiaozu lifted the lid of the cup, skimmed the floating tea foam, and then took a sip, while Jiang Chen and He Kai showed different expressions.

Regarding the things that the Shaofu did, they had heard about them when they went to Beijing to take the exam. There were good ones and bad ones, but the good ones mostly came from the people, while the bad ones were spread among the scholars. Because of this incident , they had visited some major construction sites with their friends.

The scene is shocking!
The huge crowd gathered together in one place, without any confusion. Everything seemed so orderly, and everyone was busy with what they wanted to do.

Especially in Tongzhou, the reservoirs and rivers that were dug and widened had a great impact on the two of them. It was only after that that the two of them learned something. The reservoirs and rivers that were dug in Tongzhou were only the Haihe River. It's just a part of the water system.

As for what the Haihe River system is, the public knows very little about it. Even if there are some rumors, they are limited to preventing floods.

However, the reputation of the Haihe River system is extremely great in Shaofu. If this major project can be successfully completed, it will affect more than just Beizhili!
"So many out-of-work groups are revolving around many matters led by the Young Master." When the two of them were sighing, Liu Xiaozu put down his tea cup and said calmly.

"Their only source of support for their families is to work with their hands. Every tael of silver they earn is their hard-earned money. However, the money and gold and silver circulating in the Ming Dynasty are not uniformly good, which may be detrimental to the family's wealth. "For those who are wealthy, these are nothing." "But for these hard-working people, let alone one tael, even one cent or one penny must be taken seriously. This is the meaning of the existence of our Coin Mining and Cleaning Department." !”

The expressions of Jiang Chen and He Kai changed.

"In addition to the group I mentioned, there are also a large number of homesteaders in the Ming Dynasty. Their blood and sweat also deserve the attention of the country!!"

Liu Xiaozu's tone was sonorous, "It is a matter of course to grow grain and pay taxes. The state levies agricultural tax items with the public intention to take them from the people and use them for the people. However, in the actual tax collection process, whether it is the central government or the central government, Regardless of the place, there are a group of people with selfish motives!”

"Especially the officials who are actually responsible for collecting taxes at the local level. In the eyes of the lower class groups, they are the top officials in the government. However, there are too many tricks hidden in the process of collecting taxes."

"Huo Hao, this is something your Majesty hates deeply, but how to solve this evil government? After all, Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. As long as there are more groups involved, things will become complicated."

"New coins!"

At this moment, Jiang Chen and He Kai said in unison.

"good."

Liu Xiaozu nodded and said: "The legal currency defined by the imperial court, the equivalent value given to the new gold, silver and copper coins will be the corresponding amount."

"It's just that this matter is too big. It is not an easy task to complete the replacement of old and new coins in the Ming Dynasty. For this purpose, the imperial court has a permanent Minister of Qian Fa. However, the key to achieving the expected results is under the jurisdiction of my young master. After all, there are more tricks hidden in the money law. How to cooperate with the Minister of Qian Law to achieve large-scale replacement of old and new coins, and at the same time take back the local minting rights. Our Mining and Cleaning Department still has to do. a lot of."

The two people who heard this thought of some of the things they knew when they went to Beijing before. Just because Shaofu Yousi wanted to trial a batch of new coins, it caused quite a stir in the court and in the local area, even now. , this trend has not yet been suppressed.

"If you really care about personal honor, disgrace and reputation, then don't come to serve in the Shaofu."

While the two were thinking about it, Liu Xiaozu stood up and said: "Let me explain this matter in the morning to save everyone's time. However, if you want to be clear about serving in the Shaofu, you must do your job well. The Shaofu is There are many officials under my jurisdiction, but none of them can fool me!"

When talking about this, Liu Xiaozu raised his feet and walked out of the hall. He still had a lot of things to do. All that needed to be said had been said, and the rest was up to them.

Jiang Chen and He Kai stood there for a long time without saying anything, but deep in their hearts, there was a great fluctuation.

I thought that even if I passed the examination to serve in the Coin Mining and Cleaning Department, the errands I would have to do would be insignificant, so the coinage would be a bit novel.

However, after listening to what Liu Xiaozu said, the two of them discovered that the Minting and Cleaning Department was not what they thought. This department would even have a great impact on many levels. In this way, the two of them seemed to have made up their minds. determination!
