Chapter 33 A Good Wind and a Bright Moon From the Future
The outer residence of the East Palace.
The slender fingers that were as pale as green onion flicked the beads quickly, making a crackling sound, like a beautiful movement.This is the attendant room set up by the prince.There is only a courtyard separated from the bedroom, and the roar can be heard clearly.
According to the partitions, the prince designated the attendant room into one to three departments.The first section is in charge of the correspondence between daily and daily documents, the second section is responsible for the collection and audit of all kinds of silver and grain, and the third section is responsible for the communication between the foreign residence and the palace and the outer court.
Yao Tao was standing at the door of the second department at the moment, watching the female officers nervously calling the abacus and copying the data.She is now the Dianzheng of the seventh rank, and she is under the name of Gong Zhengsi.Gong Zhengsi is the institution responsible for correcting and punishing the customs of the palace ban. It is similar to the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Outer Court and has great power.Yao Tao didn't have enough qualifications, and the prince Tuofu left the palace to get this position.
For a female officer of her age, it is enough to be proud of.
The female officials in the Ming Dynasty had two very important functions. One was to keep the seal of Tianjia.It is definitely not placed on the desk and can be covered casually.Tian Cunshan's official position is called Donggong Dianxi, but in fact he actually got the prince's seal because he was out of the palace.
The other is to be responsible for the order and records of the imperial concubine's entry into the emperor Yan's bedroom.Since the 22nd year of Hongwu, there has been a full-time female official in the palace in charge of this matter, named Tongshi.Later, Tong Shi also took into account the surname education function of the East Palace, and let the "simple" princes know about men and women before the East Palace and the prince's wedding.
When Zhu Cihong was in the palace, the wet nurse was released after weaning, surrounded by eunuchs, and only two old women who were over [-] years old were in charge of taking care of her.Because the big wedding is scheduled for next year, the queen will send these young and beautiful maids, so that the prince will not understand anything.
The first task the crown prince gave to these female officials and palace maids was to classify those who are good at writing into the first class of attendants, those who are good at counting into the second class, and those who are quick-spoken and diligent in their legs and feet are assigned to the third class.
Female officials are different from eunuchs, and they don't have those Hanlin teachings with excellent character and learning.However, they were educated when they were selected to serve as female officials in the palace.According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao, these female officials are all capable women who are innocent, literate and punctual, good at female celebrities, and planning codes.
Even those maids who bought them had to go through the cultural education of the inner prison if they wanted to be promoted to female officials.
Therefore, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been illiterate eunuchs and eunuchs, but there have been no female officials who cannot read and write.
Yao Tao was originally the head of the female officials, but was appointed by the prince as the chief of the second section, and the scope of power and responsibility became unclear for a while.However, this does not prevent her from doing things for the prince with all her heart. Anyway, there are many places where the powers and responsibilities of the Ming Dynasty are chaotic.
"Yao Dianzheng," a female official came forward with a booklet in her hand and said, "I have done the calculation as ordered."
Yao Tao took the booklet, flipped through it, followed the secret formula in the palace, checked the numbers briefly, and said: "Let everyone rest for a while, don't rush to leave. Come with me."
"Yes." The female officer smiled.
Knowing that the crown prince and eunuch Liu were still waiting, Yao Tao didn't say much, and walked quickly towards the study.The female officer followed closely behind, not daring to leave too far behind.
At the door of the prince's study, Yao Tao stopped the female officer and said, "You wait here." After finishing speaking, the little eunuch inside had already called Yao Tao's name and let her in.
The study room was brightly lit, and candles as thick as arms illuminated the room as if it were daytime.Not only was the crown prince waiting on the throne, but Liu Ruoyu, Wu Weiye and Zhou Jing were beside him.
Seeing the female officer, Wu Weiye seemed very surprised. He wanted to take a good look at her, but he didn't dare to look directly at her.
Yao Tao didn't expect there to be foreign officials either, her heart was pounding and her voice trembled a little.She said: "Your Highness, this is a summary of today's donations."
The attendant stepped forward to take the book and sent it to the prince's desk.
Zhu Cilang opened it, looked at various summaries, and the final total figures, and said with a soft smile, "I got 300 taels in one night. My gentry in Ming Dynasty is really generous."
Wu Weiye was a little unsure whether the prince was talking ironically, seeing Liu Ruoyu and Zhou Jing laughing together, he reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was reserved and didn't dare to move too much.
"Sit down." Zhu Cihong pointed to Wu Weiye's lower head, and said to Yao Tao.
Yao Tao walked slowly to the seat and sat down lightly, but her mind was completely blank.
Zhu Cihong took a stack of papers from the table, asked the attendant to hand them to Liu Ruoyu, and said: "The people on this list are all middle officials who refuse to come, and those who have not donated, you go and give it to Wang Cheng'en. You can tell him directly, If they are only sent to guard the mausoleum, the lonely family will be very unhappy. As for the property of these guys, I will split half with him."
Liu Ruoyu took the list, flipped through it and said, "Your Highness, can you give me a three-day reprieve, if there are still obsessed, it won't be too late to bring down the thunder."
Zhu Cihong raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Yes." He was also worried that someone from Wang Chengen would bring cracks to the newly concluded covenant.
Zhou Jing and Wu Weiye unconsciously looked at the other two stacks of papers on the table.There is a list of gentry and nobles who have not donated money.Presumably the prince would not only attack the eunuchs, but let these rich merchants who did not give him face.But they really couldn't think of how the prince would deal with these people?These people don't want to lose face. When they are in a hurry, they will sell things all over the street, crying poor and miserable, as if they can't survive.
Even Huang Yanjing had no choice but to give up the fundraising plan. Does the prince have any good ideas?
The prince patted the two stacks of papers with his hand, and they merged into a stack. He picked up a book and pressed it down, not letting go of it on the spot.He called: "Wu Weiye."
"The minister is here."
"The gentry who donated money must send the tax credit certificates as soon as possible." Zhu Cihong said: "In addition, it is estimated that the speech officer is going to talk nonsense again, so you write a memorial to His Majesty overnight, explaining in my name what we sent The purpose of tax credit coupons is to encourage the gentry to do good deeds. At the same time, it must be made clear that these gentry have tried their best to evade taxes, and they can't pay a few taels of silver a year. "
"The prince is wise, talk is better than nothing, this is a helpless move, a strategy of balance." Liu Ruoyu made a summary of the prince's behavior, and flattered him by the way.
Although Wu Weiye didn't think so, from the point of view of the prince's staff, it was indeed the lesser of two evils. Although the family was exempted from a lot of taxes, the taxes would not have been collected in the first place, so it was not a disadvantage.
Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the business tax to be [-]% of the tax, which is [-]% of the business tax.Compared with later generations, this is undoubtedly very favorable.Moreover, in order to prevent cruel officials from knocking and stripping, Emperor Gao also stipulated that local officials who collected excessive taxes should be punished.Therefore, for a long time, as long as the local officials collected enough taxes during the Hongwu period, they would not collect any more taxes.
With the increase in the total economic volume and the prosperity of the commodity economy, the tax amount in the Hongwu period has long been a drizzle.Who pays taxes for wealthy businessmen with backgrounds?Taxes ultimately fall on those small businessmen.
"Write another official letter to the Ministry of Household Affairs," Zhu Cihong continued, "Tell them that this money is regarded as epidemic tax, and I will help them collect it. When there are expenses in the future, I will copy a copy and give it to them, and it will be counted as theirs." Taxes and spending."
The Ministry of Household Affairs has been agitating for an increase in taxes and Liao pay since the year before last, and now the prince has collected and used them for them, which is not unacceptable.What's more, the retention of taxes is the unspoken rule of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it is already very kind of the crown prince to announce it.
Wu Weiye deserves to be a talented person who can get No.2 in the national exam. He nodded slightly, and he has already set up the framework of the article in his chest. After he comes down, he only needs to refine his words and polish it.
"What's more, there is no good section chief in the first section of the servants' room in the East Palace, so how about letting Shuzi Wu take the job?" With Zhu Cihong's personality, he doesn't like such a sissy softie like Wu Weiye.But in terms of work ability and personality, Wu Weiye is a very suitable candidate to be a secretary.And because of his weak personality, he doesn't know how to exercise power at all, so he is more at ease in using it.
