Domineering Daming

He originally wanted to tell Bi Ziyan the truth about Chahar, but seeing Bi Ziyan's troubles, he swallowed it back.

The cabinet is so busy that it does not touch the ground. It hastily held another meeting with the six ministers, prime ministers, and governors. They are all worried that Zhu Xu, who has freed up their hands, will intervene. At that time, they will have no right to speak. There are too many things They can't help them, so they are taking the lead.

A group of adults are under tremendous pressure, fighting each other on various issues and then giving in to each other, hoping to reach a "New Deal" plan that is agreed by all parties and can continue to move forward as soon as possible.

The people outside Beijing are naturally lively, the great Ming Dynasty will perform martial arts, and all nations will come to court. This is a sign of a prosperous age.

It was only after Zhu Xu entered the city gate that he saw the memorandum and summary sent by the supervisor of ceremonies.

Sitting in the rickety carriage, Zhu Xu looked at the memorial and was filled with emotion.

The deep abhorrence of "extraordinary skills and obscenity" and the infinite exaltation of "benevolence" should be a serious shackle to the development of the feudal dynasty.This kind of "shackle" obviously appears in all aspects, the most conspicuous of which is the belittling and hindrance of "craftsmanship". When it comes to firearms, it rises to fear.

"The artillery of today is probably the same as the atomic bombs of later generations. It is frightening and dreadful..."

Zhu Xu could understand the worries in this memorial, but these people didn't explain another question - Daming banned, does it mean that other countries will not appear?What if it happens?How to defend Daming by then?

This is completely self-defeating martial arts, self-styled, stagnant, and even maliciously regressing, a deliberate act of courting death!

Zhu Xu staggered, recalling some unbearable memories, suddenly annoyed in his heart, looked up to the front, and said, "What's the attitude of the cabinet?"

Cao Huachun sat outside and heard the words: "The cabinet has not responded yet, and it is estimated that they will stay in the Central Committee."

"deliver an imperial order!"

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was indifferent: "Severely reprimand these people. Artillery has already existed all over the world. My Ming Dynasty will be destroyed today, and the western barbarians will attack tomorrow. How can I resist it? How can I build the Great Wall on the sea? Will my Ming Dynasty be like this forever?" Pigs and sheep are generally imprisoned, bullied at will, and just trying to survive? Short-sighted, selfish and narrow-minded, abandoning the responsibility of the family and the country with selfishness, making false statements about state affairs, not caring about the heart, having no structure, and his heart can be punished!"

Zhang Yun blinked. For a moment just now, she also felt that the words written by these adults were correct. After hearing Zhu Xuzhi's words, she was startled. She quickly pursed her lips and lowered her head.

If it was really as Zhu Xu said, it would be too scary, I dare not think about it.

Cao Huachun was taken aback outside. If these words were really made with a clear purpose, I'm afraid it would kill many people in the playbook!

After hesitating for a while, Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty, do you want to be more tactful in your tone?"

"Need not!"

Zhu Xu said: "You draft the decree yourself, show it to me, and then send it to the cabinet, and then let the cabinet write a similar reprimanding edict. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials will also write a copy, and then publish it in tomorrow's newspaper and give it to me. Kill the cowardice and incompetence of these people!"

"Observe the order." Cao Huachun sighed inwardly, feeling very helpless.

Every time the emperor values ​​and focuses on the development of something, someone will always jump out to oppose it and sing high-profile, but the emperor slaps him in the face, and it is a condescending and irrefutable slap in the face.

The harder the force is, the greater the reaction force is. For the scholars of the Ming Dynasty who regard "Qing Yu" as more important than anything else, it is not surprising that they commit suicide in shame and indignation.

But this kind of reaction force is different from the action force. The reaction is basically indiscriminate damage, map cannon, which will make those conservative scholars stick together more firmly, stay away from Zhu Xu, and vigorously sing the opposite.

It was just a small episode, and Zhu Xu didn't care at all. This decree was not only for the adults in the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet to clearly express his attitude, but also for the open-minded and discerning people in the ruling and opposition parties. For those who persist in the old dogma, Zhu Xu intends to let them embrace him until he dies—it cannot be saved.

When Zhu Xu's carriage entered the palace, the two kings of North Korea were not idle. They shuttled around the six ministries, the cabinet and other places, asking for an audience, hoping to persuade some important ministers of Ming Dynasty to agree that Ming's army would continue to station in Pyongyang, defend North Korea, and Prevent Japan from invading again.

However, most of the responses I got were disappointing, and the rest were vague and difficult to give affirmation.

Chapter 985

cabinet.

Sun Chuanting walked into Bi Ziyan's class with a bunch of memorials, shook his head and said, "They are all similar to each other with minor differences, demanding the banning of artillery and burning the blueprints."

Bi Ziyan looked up, put down the pen in his hand, and said directly: "Yilie."

The so-called "Yi Lie" refers to the procedure of entering the cabinet separately and being the supervisor of ceremonies.

Sun Chuanting said: "Then our cabinet?" The cabinet has various ways to deal with these "impeachment" and "admonitions", including approval, retention, transfer, transfer, etc.

Bi Ziyan said: "Let's all stay in Zhongshu, let's talk about it after we finish dealing with the matter at hand."

Sun Chuanting didn't like Bi Ziyan's occasional "ambiguous" attitude, and said: "My lord, artillery... the emperor does not hesitate to spend millions of taels of silver every year, which shows that he attaches great importance to it, and it is more and more important in our Ming army. It is a weapon on the battlefield. Indispensable, the cabinet needs to have an attitude."

"Not expressing a position" becomes "having an attitude", which means that no support becomes support, and support means opposing the ban on artillery and burning the blueprints.

Bi Ziyan has a lot of troublesome things in his hands, and this matter is not important to him at the moment, he waved his hand, got up and said: "I will talk about this matter later, Bai Gu, we will have a cabinet discussion later, our attitude Back off a little more, make a decision as soon as possible, revise the playbook overnight, and present it to the emperor, so that these governors can return as soon as possible!"

Just as Sun Chuanting was about to say more, Zheng Youyuan, Secretary of the Cabinet, said outside: "My lord, the governors have already entered the palace."

"Okay, let's go, Bai Gu." Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting could only swallow his words, and followed Bi Ziyan to the conference hall.

As soon as Zhu Xu's carriage entered Qianqing Palace, Cao Huachun made some arrangements and then transferred to the cabinet.

Liu Shimin was as busy as the cabinet, his feet didn't touch the ground, and his head was dizzy.

The cabinet has been busy with the "New Deal" plan for this year, and everything cannot be done without the "little inspector" in the cabinet. Naturally, Liu Shimin dare not be careless and must do everything himself.

Although it is no longer the grand occasion of Wei Zhongxian sitting in the cabinet to hold cabinet meetings during the Tianqi years, and he dare not refuse, but the current emperor is too powerful, no matter how low-key Liu Shimin is, the cabinet ministers dare not neglect him, and invite him every cabinet meeting Listening in, no one dares to overstep.

Cao Huachun was sitting in Liu Shimin's classroom, drinking tea, and simply talking to Liu Shimin about the martial arts performance.

Liu Shimin already knew this old partner well, so he put down what he was doing, made tea, and chatted with him.

Listening to what Cao Huachun said about the great martial arts performance and the subsequent banquets for the lords and envoys from all over the world, Liu Shimin said a little happily: "This big martial arts performance must have a deterrent effect on countries outside the region. In ten or eight years, there should be no borders. matter. When it comes to military campaigns, the emperor is wise."

Cao Huachun put down his teacup, looked outside, and said: "Spring has already begun, and the forecasts for the summer harvest in all provinces this year are not good. The emperor's thoughts may still be in the country."

Liu Shimin's eyes were slightly fixed, but he didn't speak.

The disasters in Shaanxi, West, Sichuan and other places are the most serious, and more and more people are moving out. The taxes in various places are at least [-]% lower than last year. It is difficult to be self-sufficient, let alone handing over to the court.

The northern provinces, Shanxi, Xi, and Beizhili have snowstorms this year, and a [-]% reduction in production is the best forecast.Several provinces in the south, especially Fujian, Yun, Nan, Guang, Xi, and even Huguang, have reported that the lowest output reduction is expected to be [-]%.

Liaodong is now barely self-sufficient and is still in the digestion stage. North Annan is in the development stage, and it still needs a lot of money and food.Old Port, Luzon Daming has not yet fully controlled it, and it is gradually being swallowed up, and they cannot be expected to support the country.

After all the calculations, the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty is slightly better in Nanzhili.

Therefore, Daming's national treasury this year has dropped by at least [-]% compared to last year!

With such a big hole, it's no wonder that the cabinet can't wait to save money and reduce expenses.But the effect of this kind of throttling is definitely not achieved overnight, and it needs a buffer period. Therefore, Daming's life this year will definitely be difficult.

Cao Huachun looked at Liu Shimin, knowing what he was thinking, he stabbed again without hesitation, and said: "The emperor intends to pacify Chahar this year, and use at least one hundred thousand troops!"

Liu Shimin looked startled, looked at Cao Huachun with wide eyes, and said, "Really?"

With a smile on the corner of Cao Huachun's mouth, he said, "It's basically all right."

Liu Shimin frowned immediately, thinking hard.

He is in the cabinet and also the eunuch who is the supervisor of rites and the eunuch Bingbi, so he has an incomparable understanding of the domestic situation.If a [-] army is used, the money and food expenditure will be a huge number!
