My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Is there a big backlash over the appointment of Bi Ziyan as the chief minister of the cabinet?
Very big.

But does rebound work?

Useless.

Bi Ziyan's ability and means were sufficient to promote his career from one state to one province's chief envoy.

In less than three days, he threw sixteen people out of the cabinet, including Liu Cheng, the secretary of the cabinet.

The reason is also very simple, not working hard.

Through this method, Bi Ziyan easily controlled all matters inside and outside the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan would naturally be impeached if he used such tough measures to do things.

But he wasn't worried about it at all.

Going to teach the emperor every five days was a sign of the emperor's trust in him.

"Send this official document to all yamen in Beijing."

Bi Ziyan stopped writing the article and looked at the clerk.

"Just read and write. Just say that I have been in Beijing not long ago and I still don't know much about the talents of the officials in Beijing. Before the end of the month, all officials in Beijing must send a policy paper to the cabinet for examination."

"Yes!"

This clerk had just been transferred from the Hanlin Academy. He respected Bi Ziyan as a recruiter, so he immediately took the article in front of Bi Ziyan and walked out.

And with the issuance of Bi Ziyan's official document, all the officials in the city became paralyzed.

Bi Ziyan's first decree when he took office as the chief minister of the cabinet was to ask everyone for advice?
What do you mean by this?
Everyone is a Jinshi and has passed the imperial examination.

After many years of experience as an official, is it possible that I can't even write a policy article?

No, there are really people who can’t do it.

"How to make a country rich."

The British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Dingguo Duke Xu Xigao came together and their hair was scratched bald.

"its not right."

Zhang Weixian held back fifty words for half an hour, most of which were just the beginning.

Really unable to write anything, Zhang Weixian raised his head and looked at Xu Xigao, Duke of Dingguo, who was sitting opposite.

Hearing this, Xu Xigao raised his head and looked at the other party. He could only write two hundred words.

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't we military attachés? What should we write about this strategy to enrich the country?"

Licking the tip of the brush with his mouth, Zhang Weixian didn't realize that his whole mouth was dyed black.

"Previously, His Majesty repeatedly emphasized that all ministries should abide by their duties. Your current responsibility and that of mine is to assist His Majesty in reorganizing the capital camp. This matter should not be our consideration."

"correct."

After hearing Zhang Weixian's words, Xu Xigao suddenly said.

"Civil officials have no right to participate in the affairs of the Beijing camp. They are left to your Majesty's disposal."

Thinking of this, Xu Xigao dropped the pen in his hand on the table.

"Send an official letter to the cabinet saying that our generals will not participate in court affairs."

As he said that, Xu Xigao turned to look at Zhang Weixian, but froze.

"Uncle Shi, what are you eating?"

"what?"

Unlike Wu Xun, there are a large number of civil servants in Beijing.

Bi Ziyan's first decree was a test for the school, and it was clearly a question of policy.

How to make a country rich?

The theme of Bi Ziyan's "school examination" is to make the country rich.

How did he, Bi Ziyan, gain the emperor's trust and become first the chief minister of Duzhi and then the cabinet?

It's because he knows how to settle accounts.

These days, one of the reasons why Bi Ziyan is impeached is that he has sole power.

But now Bi Ziyan's memorial has blocked the mouths of some people.

Sole power? I didn't. I was thinking of all the officials in the capital asking for political advice.

Everyone understands the question of how to make a country rich.

Anyone who is not blind can see the lack of money problem that the Ming Dynasty is currently facing. But there are really not many people who are willing to ask for money from the emperor's internal funds.

In the previous period, the emperor's internal funds allocated five million taels of silver, and the powers and responsibilities of the household department were split, allowing the eunuchs of the inner court to extend their tentacles to the outer court.

This matter has proved that the emperor's internal funds are rich, but wanting to get them out means the expansion of the power of the eunuchs.

There is no surefire way to stop the eunuchs, and the ministers are not willing to speak easily.

Bi Ziyan's decree also sent another signal.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, my top priority is to enrich the country. Who will follow? Who stops?
Whatever happens in the cabinet will soon reach the ears of the emperor Zhu Youxiao.

After all, the cabinet's offices are in the Forbidden City.

"Bi Ziyan is a good man."

Throwing a memorial on the table, Zhu Youxiao sighed and shook his head.

This person who has been an official outside the country has a very harsh approach.

As soon as Bi Ziyan came up with this method, the number of memorials to impeach him was reduced by half.

But more memorials honestly discussed how to enrich the country.

"Ask the cabinet to make a copy of the ministers' suggestions for me. I also want to read it."

"This slave takes the order."

Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Shimin bowed and was about to leave when he heard the emperor say again.

"By the way, let me tell someone about Jianyan's matter in Beijing."

"Yes."

After hearing the emperor's additional words, Liu Shimin paused and quickly walked outside.

This is giving Bi Ziyan a platform.

As the news spread that the emperor wanted to see the officials' suggestions, the officials in the capital became even more excited.

This little emperor who doesn't run a dynasty is not as indifferent as the legend says.

With the end of the emperor, what was supposed to be Bi Zi's rigorous examination of school officials and looking for suggestions from useful people turned directly into a question for officials in Beijing.

In the two hundred and fifty years since the Ming Dynasty, there have been so many disadvantages.

The system of guard posts was ruined, and it was difficult for the military garrison to supply the expenditures of the guard posts.

Local wealthy families annexed land and treated the people harshly, leaving the common people starved of food.

The coins of the previous dynasties were in chaos. Now, although the emperor has minted new silver coins, it is only a drop in the bucket.

The problem of imperial taxation confusion.

The problem of unsustainable military pay.

Some problems are untouchable and ridiculous to officials.

But there are always bold people in the world, or people who want to rise to the top.

In short, all kinds of weird strategies can come up.

Of course, this kind of choice is something that small officials and small officials need to make.

But for high-ranking officials such as the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Industry, it is not necessary.

Although the sky has long been gloomy, the candles in Zhou Mansion are still not extinguished.

What was before his eyes was Bi Ziyan's official document, and Zhou Yingqiu was writing as if with divine help.

His articles are quite satisfactory.

He is already the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. At this point in time, there is no need to use shocking words to attract the emperor's attention.

The strategy of enriching a country cannot be achieved in a day. In the former Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform made the country rich, but it did not last long. Although the country's power slowed down, it was difficult to save the country and the people.

Before our dynasty, there was Zhang Jiangling's reform, which brought great prosperity to the country. However, Zhang Jiangling died suddenly, and the treacherous Zhang Siwei was in the dynasty. The new law was abolished, causing harm to the country.

Then, Zhou Yingqiu changed her writing and focused the topic on her responsibilities.

Generally speaking, in just eight words, things happen because of people, and things fail because of people.

The next duty of his staff department is to pay close attention to the official administration of the Ming Dynasty.

For a human spirit like him, it is not difficult at all to speculate on the Holy Will, especially for a young emperor like the Little Emperor.

After all, the emperor never concealed his purpose and followed an aboveboard path.

"All ministries must abide by their duties" are now his motto of Zhou Yingqiu.

Of course, when writing a strategy, you start with your own responsibilities. (End of chapter)
