Chapter 320
"Exactly, in my opinion, Yuan Keli should be escorted back to Beijing immediately and handed over to the Sanfa Department for strict trial!" Seeing the emperor's knowing performance, Hu Guifang felt ecstatic in her heart.It’s so obvious, this is another attempt to pass the blame!
Why say again?Because emperors of all dynasties have done this.Whenever they encounter a problem that is difficult to solve and are questioned by courtiers, for the sake of reputation and face, they will often find one or a few subordinates to be the victims and completely ignore the responsibility.
Not to mention, Emperor Wanli played this trick more than once.This is not just hearsay or talking on paper, but seeing it with your own eyes and feeling it yourself.The eunuchs in the palace alone have been scapegoated countless times because of the mining tax issue.It can be as simple as going to the shrine to supervise the elderly, or as serious as just clicking, and the sins of death will be eliminated.
Now this trick is being played again, and the only one who must take the blame is Navy Governor Yuan Keli.Although the emperor was able to completely abdicate his responsibility, he had to pay a price.
As long as the navy governor is moved and the navy is ruined, this game will be completely won.Inspired by this, the courtiers would launch wave after wave of offensives in the future, step by step to root out the evil-doing traitors around the emperor, such as Li Zhi, Yuan Yingtai and others.
"What do you mean by Dali Temple?" The emperor seemed to be at his wits' end and turned his attention to the Minister of Dali Temple again.This move made all the civil and military officials in the court shake their heads secretly. He was still too young, had little experience in fighting in court, and sought medical treatment in a hurry.
Gao Panlong, the Minister of Dali Temple, is a die-hard loyalist of the Donglin Party and will not turn into a royalist just because of the position of Minister of Dali Temple.After watching his friends Gu Xiancheng's brothers being killed and the Donglin Party falling apart, it was quite possible to take the opportunity to seek revenge.
"I thought that clothes and armor alone were not enough!" Gao Panlong walked very slowly, as if he was carrying a huge burden in three steps, and his voice was low, even a little trembling.
"Gao Panlong, what do you mean?"
And his answer was even more unexpected, causing another burst of noise.The most excited person was Hu Guifang. I originally thought that Gao Panlong would stand against Yuan without hesitation, but unexpectedly, the person who should least have caused the problem ended up causing the problem.
If the minister of Dali Temple holds the opposite opinion, there will be no hope of a joint trial among the three halls.Without the three-party trial, even if Yuan Keli is arrested and imprisoned, he will eventually fall into the hands of the Jin Yiwei, and the effect will be greatly reduced.
"Hu Buzheng, as the Minister of Dali Temple, Gao Mou only deals with things and not people. I heard Annan's complaint clearly. Gao Mou heard clearly that it is impossible to identify the Ming Navy just by the similarity in clothing, armor and weapons. If someone wears Hu's clothes, learn from With Hu's tone, he goes out to do evil things outside the city, is it possible that Hu will become a bandit?"
Facing Hu Guifang's glare, Gao Panlong lowered his head slightly. He knew very well what happened at today's court meeting, but he couldn't agree with it and deeply regretted it.It would be great if these colleagues could reveal some information to themselves in advance, so that they would not have to be forced to serve as spearmen for the emperor in front of all the civil and military officials.
What forces me is not imperial power, nor fear of death, but my duty as a scholar.In the two years since he took up the position of Minister of Dali Temple, not only his identity has changed, but his mentality has also changed.
Details that were previously invisible can now be seen, and difficulties that were previously incomprehensible are now practiced and angered every day.In the officialdom, it is common for people to be superfluous and to be indifferent. Whenever I think of what I did back then, I feel the urge to die.
Looking back at the emperor's actions, it would be an understatement to say that he went against the grain and did not abide by the laws of his ancestors. Almost every move and decision was incompatible with the current mainstream.But if you calm down and think carefully, you can find that everything is beneficial to the country, no, it should be beneficial to the people.
In order to save the increasingly weak Ming Dynasty, the emperor took the lead in cutting back on food and clothing, reducing most of the expenses of the harem, halting the construction of three main halls, and used his internal funds to buy rice in Nanyang, feeding the victims of the northern provinces, and eliminating visible civil unrest. at the beginning.This alone allowed the court to save a lot of financial and manpower.
Taking advantage of the first-mover advantage of Huangzhuang factories in various places, we took the lead in calling for government supervision and private development.Dozens of factories have been established so far, and no matter what they produce, they can bring huge returns to those who invest in them.
On the surface, the shareholders of each factory are local gentry and powerful, and most of them have court officials hidden behind them. They seem to be competing for profits with the people.However, after more than a year of careful investigation and analysis, it was found that not only were the people not deprived of profits, but they also received considerable benefits from the factory.Each factory has as few as a hundred and as many as a thousand people, all from the private sector.Although they are not engaged in farming, they can receive a good monthly salary, which is enough to feed and drink a family of five or six people. If they save a little, they can also save some money to help their children start a family.
In other words, a factory can feed at least 600 people, and if it is more, it can provide food and clothing for 6000 people.In terms of land, this scale would be comparable to villages and small counties.
Suppose, if a hundred or even a thousand factories appeared in the Ming Dynasty, would the people be able to get rid of the situation of not having enough to eat and not having enough clothing to cover their bodies?
The answer seems to be very optimistic. Even if it cannot be 100% solved, it can be alleviated to a large extent without large-scale land reclamation, no need to search for water sources, and no need to rely on God's gifts.
In fact, there is no need to make assumptions. You can find clues if you open your eyes and look at Guangdong's official documents.Originally a tax-difficult household with a serious shortage of cultivated land and an increasing population year by year, the situation immediately improved as Li Zhi took office and implemented new policies bit by bit.
When Yuan Yingtai took office, he began to roll out the New Deal in a drastic manner with the emperor's decree. A year later, it was completely transformed.Although the grain tax has not improved significantly, the commercial tax has fallen several times.If all were converted into silver, it would already rank among the top three, on par with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which have always been prosperous.
Suppose further that the Ming Dynasty had more ports along the coast than Guangzhou, and it was not necessary to open all of them to the sea. As long as Quanzhou and Ningbo, which once had municipal shipping companies, were restored to their original state, at least several million taels of commercial tax could be paid to the court every year.
What is this concept?You can raise one more Liaodong Town!There is no need to increase any taxes, open up an acre of wasteland, or levy an extra labor force. As long as the court sends a few more Li Zhi and Yuan Yingtai to Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it can replace hundreds of thousands of soldiers, generals and border residents.
The establishment of the Navy seems to have nothing to do with the New Deal, but in fact it is closely related to it.Without a navy, the southeastern coast must always be on guard against the resurgence of Japanese pirates, and its annual consumption of silver is no less than that of Liaodong Town.
Without the navy, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Ningbo would not be able to guarantee safety even if they opened the sea.If pirates gather in the port, it will inevitably affect the safety of trade routes, and not many merchant ships will be willing to come to trade.Such a simple truth, even people who have never seen the sea should be able to figure it out.
The most important thing is that without a naval emperor, it would be impossible to counter the resistance of the courtiers, let alone open the sea, and even the New Deal could not be implemented.Whether it is said that the emperor seized military power and weakened the six cabinet ministries, or whether he accused the emperor of being militaristic, this fact cannot be concealed.
Should we turn to the emperor's camp?Gao Panlong never thought about it.To be honest, he disliked this emperor very much. Even though he knew that what he did was likely to bring Ming Dynasty back to its glory, he still didn't like it.
But dislike and not being able to distinguish between right and wrong are two different things. As the highest authority in charge of prisons, I, the Minister of Dali Temple, can only and must be disobedient to reason and not to others.Only when royalist officials, including the emperor, violate criminal laws can they confidently serve as judges. Otherwise, what is the point of being an official?
"... Sophistry, it's just sophistry. I didn't expect that a dignified and powerful person would also be a follower of people!" This assumption directly made Hu Guifang dumbfounded. Youdao is to seize stolen goods from thieves and catch adulterers. It is really unreasonable to convict someone based on their clothes.After holding it in for a long time, he didn't figure out how to fight back, so he simply started to attack him personally.
