My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 57 Zhou Yingqiu establishes his power

"Shang Shu Zhou, why was my proposed transfer brought back?"

Holding several memorials in his hand, Zhou Jiamo, the former Minister of Civil Service who was transferred to the Hanlin Academy, rushed into Zhou Yingqiu's class room with great momentum.

"Why not?"

Zhou Yingqiu raised his eyelids and glanced at the other party, then picked up his official seal and printed the memorial.

"A new Jinshi, regardless of rank, will be released as a county magistrate."

"Those who have not served for three years will not be admitted to the capital."

"These are all first-class Jinshi, you have no right to make such arrangements."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiamo sneered.

There are rules in the officialdom. Those with the first grade of Jinshi will be given priority to be appointed as officials in the capital.

By doing this, Zhou Yingqiu was making an enemy of the entire Yanguan dynasty.

After all, if you work abroad, you can't easily enter Beijing without spending more than ten or twenty years, let alone be promoted to a high position.

"I have no authority, but the Emperor has authority."

Pointing to the top, Zhou Yingqiu continued.

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, everything will be renewed. All officials must do something as soon as possible for the emperor to see."

"When I take office, I have two things to do."

"First, fill the vacancies in various government offices as soon as possible. Those with more than three years of experience as foreign officials will be given priority."

"Second, the Ministry of Personnel must file a file for my Ming Dynasty official. Write down clearly the year in which he was elected, the previous positions he held, and the position he currently holds. Make two copies. One will be kept in the Ministry of Personnel's archives, and the other will be sent to Nanhaizi. The emperor wants to see it. .”

After saying that, Zhou Yingqiu seemed to suddenly remember and said again.

"Since Mr. Zhou has been transferred to the Hanlin Academy as the chief executive officer of the "Records of Shenzong", Mr. Zhou has no jurisdiction over the affairs of the official department."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiamo snorted coldly.

"Believe it or not, I will go to the emperor to accuse you of nepotism!"

Closing the memorial in his hand, Zhou Yingqiu stood up from the chair and said slowly.

"I know that you have some complaints about my appointment as Minister of Civil Affairs."

"But you have to understand why I can sit in this chair."

He walked to the window and picked up a glass bottle placed there.

There is a human heart soaked in it.

"Master Zhou, don't think that you, Daming, are the only one who can do things."

"you!"

"Go, call all the officials from the top to the bottom of the official department, and show this black heart to all the officials."

"In addition, I have something to announce."

"Yes."

When the little official heard this, he quickly went to summon people.

"Zhou Hanlin, please."

"Humph."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiamo turned pale and walked away.

"Don't you have any idea why you chased me back?"

Looking at Zhou Jiamo leaving with cold eyes, Zhou Yingqiu's mind changed slightly.

He really didn't think he noticed that the officials from top to bottom didn't really listen to his orders.

"boom!"

A memorial was thrown in front of Wei Zhongxian, making Wei Zhongxian shrink his neck in fright.

"Eat my food and smash my pot."

"Competing with the people for profits, you know nothing about competing with the people for profits."

As soon as Wei Zhongxian came over, the memorial to impeach him was sent to Zhu Youxiao's Long Shuan.

"We just bought a few coal mines, so why are we competing with the people for profit?"

After throwing away all the impeachment memorials saying that the coal mine could not be taken over, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked.

“Have all the coal mines in Xishan been harvested?”

"Go back to your Majesty, collect them all, and bring all the people in charge."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll reward you with 1000 taels of silver, and I'll share all the money you brought with me." "I thank you for your great kindness."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian quickly bowed his head and said.

After waving Wei Zhongxian down, Zhu Youxiao asked someone to call Zhao Shuang in.

"The common people bow to the emperor."

"Pingshen, get up."

Looking at Zhao Shuang, Zhu Youxiao said.

"I asked people to purchase all the coal mines in Xishan with internal funds. Now I am short of someone to take charge. I wonder if you would be willing to share my worries?"

"Grassmen are willing."

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Shuang quickly bowed his head and said.

The Ming Dynasty never lacked people who wanted to do things for the emperor, but it lacked ways.

"it is good."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, indicating to take out the things.

I saw three eunuchs walking out holding a hat and a seal.

The hat is the Liuhe unified hat, which is also the melon skin hat. This name was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, which means "the world will be peaceful and the world will be unified".

Six pieces of black velvet are stitched into a hemispherical shape, with a red-dyed pearl on the top.

"I have asked people to integrate the inner court. From now on, you will be under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"I appoint you as the general merchant of Longwang Company, with a third-grade official position. From now on, I will hand over the management of Xishan Coal Mine to you."

"Grass people."

"Ok?"

"My lord, I thank you for your great kindness."

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Shuang reacted instantly and changed his words.

This directly gave him an official status. Although he was from the inner court, he was in the same way as a eunuch.

But it's better than being naked, right?

"I will approve 5 taels of silver for you. When it's time to hire people, when it's time to check the accounts, you have to inspect the people who are in charge outside, and hire those who are capable, and those who are mediocre, and then carry out unified management of the Xishan Coal Mine. You have to do it as soon as possible. Set up the stall for me."

"I understand."

Seeing Zhao Shuang put on the hat he had someone prepare, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

Isn't this what a red-topped businessman looks like?

"There are two more things to note."

Instructing the other party to bring the seal, Zhu Youxiao continued.

"First, miners should be paid as much as they should be paid. Miners are not allowed to be bullied just to make money."

"Second, you have to train me a group of people who can manage mining affairs. I will use them in the future."

"Third, the inner court will not interfere too much with how you run your business. It will only send accounting eunuchs. But you must remember that the priority is to ensure the supply of the court."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhao Shuang nodded repeatedly.

"Ah."

After nodding, Zhu Youxiao talked to the other party for a while before letting him leave to consolidate the coal mines in Xishan.

Holding a memorial and tapping it on the table, Zhu Youxiao thought about what to do next.

Regarding the collection of mining taxes, the foreign court has two attitudes.

The first is that it cannot be collected. Doing so is competing with the people for profit.

The second type is that it can be collected, but it must be collected by the imperial court, not by the eunuchs of the inner court, because all Wanli's mining taxes are collected by the inner court.

Regarding these matters, Zhu Youxiao's attitude is very clear.

It is certain that the imperial court will collect mining taxes, but that will happen in the future.

Now, he wants to develop the palace-owned economy and set up a trust-style production line for the inner court, so that it will not be controlled by others.

At the very least, if the emperor wants to use iron, he has to go to the private sector to buy it.

As for the tune in the court about not competing with the people for profit, haha.

If you don't let me come to the table to eat, I will even serve you the pot.

ps: Brothers, now it’s sixth, I’m going to grab Sanjiang, everyone, remember to catch up and read it, the next issue is too fierce, I can’t catch it before Tuesday, so I have to put it on the shelf in advance to avoid the limelight.
