Domineering Daming

Chaobao has covered all identities, and the newspaper has developed so much that it already has a considerable number of regular readers.As soon as Mr. Chuanshan's article was published, a huge storm was set off among the whole Ming Dynasty, especially among the scholars.

These more than 50 Confucian scholars, disciples and grandchildren have a very complicated relationship network, which suppressed many voices for a while, and the voices of scholars supporting the "New Deal" became very loud, and for the first time overwhelmed the voices of opposition and dominated public opinion.

Then, the private interviews of these great Confucian scholars began, and some big editors began to interview them, recorded and sorted them out, and began to publish them one after another the next day.

For three days in a row, with the endorsement of these great scholars, Sun Chuanting's situation changed greatly.Coupled with the fact that the power is stable and the cleaning is still going on, there are countless supporters around Sun Chuanting, and there is a grand scene that everyone responds to!

Three days later, these great Confucians were about to leave. Sun Chuanting sent them off warmly, and even sent soldiers from the patrol battalion to protect them.

Everyone was well received when they came to Beijing, and they also brought some "retouching fees" of various forms before leaving, so everyone was happy.

When it was Mr. Chuanshan's turn at the end, Sun Chuanting deliberately stayed for a while, braved the snow, and accompanied by Bao Liyou, sent Mr. Chuanshan out of the city.

Mr. Chuanshan said as he walked, "The 'New Deal' is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Mr. Sun Ge has a heavy responsibility. Please persevere and don't give up lightly."

Sun Chuanting nodded yes, glanced at the pavilion not far in front of him, stopped in his tracks, and said, "Mr., it's time to tell me why you came to Beijing together to support the students, right?"

Mr. Chuanshan was stunned, looked at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile: "I thought you had already guessed it, then guess, who has such a great ability to invite us stubborn old guys who are deep in the mountains and forests?"

Chapter 1432 Sun Chuanting raises money

Sun Chuanting had already guessed in his heart, moved closer, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty?"

Mr. Chuanshan nodded with a smile, and said: "The emperor seems to be escaping the summer heat, but he has been secretly not idle. This old man lived with the emperor for three days, and was taught for three days. He was extremely ashamed, so he came out cheeky, hoping to make up for it."

Sun Chuanting thought it was so, the vigilance dissipated, and the smile on his face increased a little, he said: "Although the emperor thinks he doesn't like the Four Books and Five Classics, he reads them more thoroughly than anyone else, and he is deeply aware of some of the disadvantages. Experience. The students have done research on some of the emperor’s remarks over the years, and found that although they are incompatible with Confucianism, they are deeply reasonable and cannot be ignored.”

Mr. Chuanshan turned his back, looked at the snow sky, and sighed: "The emperor said the words 'retreat' and 'pragmatic' to the old man, which is very meaningful. The truth and reality seem to be opposites, but no one can do without the other. Too much emphasis on one thing is going to extremes, just like us, if we don’t come out, we can’t see the real world.”

Sun Chuanting didn't care about their ideas. With their support this time, it was enough for him to have a strong counterattack against Shilin's opposition.

Mr. Chuanshan sighed, and smiled again: "Okay, I should go. Although what the emperor said is reasonable, I don't want to be lectured by him a second time."

Sun Chuanting and the others agreed with a smile, and said, "Mr. Lao Lao."

Mr. Chuanshan didn't say any more, got into the carriage, and under the escort of a group of soldiers from the patrol battalion, he slowly walked up the official road and headed south.

Sun Chuanting waited for him to leave, and suddenly tasted it, turned his head to look at Bao Liyou, and said, "What did the old gentleman mean just now, did you mean that the emperor will come back soon, or has he already returned?"

Bao Liyou was startled, reacted quickly, and said after thinking: "The end of the year is approaching, so it stands to reason that the emperor will come back. The emperor spends every year in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so he may really come back."

Sun Chuanting looked thoughtful, and said, "How about the year-end package, written by the staff?"

Bao Liyou said: "The reports of the six departments and other departments have been compiled, and the integration of the staff department is almost complete. A few days ago, the director of etiquette even urged it."

Sun Chuanting turned around and walked back, saying: "Let them bring the draft to me immediately, no matter what it looks like, hurry up."

Bao Liyou quickly raised his hand, and said with a serious expression: "Your official understands."

This time, the Qianqing Palace not only solved the immediate predicament for Sun Chuanting, but also placed Sun Chuanting in an unprecedented position as the chief assistant, and even invited these people to Beijing in the cold winter months. One can imagine the hard work behind it.

In the last few days of the end of the month, Sun Chuanting convened six ministries and other departments to hold meetings all night, reviewing last year's government affairs, and planning for next year, one by one.

Sun Chuanting is now the official Chief Assistant, with great power in his hands, and hastily settled all the recent incidents.

For example, in the Royal Bank template theft case, Fu Tao cited "improper management" as an excuse, recorded a major administrative error, and considered the case closed.

As a result, Fu Changzong was also relieved, and he was not caught by the outside world.

The cabinet has newly joined Zhao Han and Shen Xun. The manpower and power have been greatly increased, and the efficiency has more than doubled. A series of decrees are brewing and will be issued after the annual holiday next year.

Nothing is impenetrable. The cabinet draft has not yet been finalized, and rumors have leaked out.

This time, the cabinet will adjust the prefect level officials of the entire Ming Dynasty, including Annan, Ryukyu, North Korea, Phnom Penh, etc., involving as many as [-] people!

The shock caused by this can be imagined. Too many people couldn't bear it, and they searched for various ways, wanting to find out the truth and find a way for themselves.

Not to mention the local governors, even the adults of the Sixth Ministry, the threshold has been broken, and they have long closed their doors to thank guests, afraid to see people.

Sun Chuanting took a break from his busy schedule to talk with the cabinet ministers, the ministers of the six departments, and the heads of other departments one by one, instilling his reform plan, and at the same time gaining their support with emotion and reason.

There are vacancies for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. After Sun Chuanting came down for a few days, it was Zhang Bingwen's turn to be the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

Accompanied by Bao Liyou, Sun Chuanting went to the household department in person, and under the leadership of Zhang Bingwen and others, inspected the government affairs of the household department, and then sat down to talk with Zhang Bingwen.

The relationship between Sun Chuanting and Zhang Bingwen has been greatly eased, and this time he came in person again, which can be regarded as giving enough face.

Zhang Bingwen reciprocated, saying: "Shoufu, the Ministry of Household Affairs has prepared the budget for last year's deficit and next year's budget and submitted it."

Sun Chuanting took a sip of tea and said, "Well, I've already read it. This time, I want you to tell the truth."

Zhang Bingwen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What truth does the chief assistant want?"

Sun Chuanting looked carefully and said: "I know that most of the various taxes are currently collected by the Ministry of Households, and generally controlled by the Ministry of Households. I want to know how much of the total tax money for next year will be used by the cabinet? "

Zhang Bingwen looked at Sun Chuanting with a gloomy expression on his face, and said for a moment, "Why didn't the chief assistant ask Elder Fu Ge about this matter?"

Although the taxation of Ming Dynasty has been reformed several times, the implementation is still insufficient, and it still needs to be collected in the Ministry of Households. Therefore, the Ministry of Households is the most clear about taxation.

Sun Chuanting tilted his head a little, stared at Zhang Bingwen, and said, "I want your truth."

Zhang Bingwen frowned, pondered for a while, and said: "Currently, the Taxation Bureau mainly collects commercial taxes. Last year, it was 800 million taels, including salt tax, spices, and Shenlong Mansion. It is collected by each locality. Food tax is 8206 million taels, other income is 300 million, and the total is about 300 million. Last year's expenditure was 800 million, with a deficit of 500 million. Because of the relationship between Shenlong Mansion, tomorrow's income, It could be as high as 6000 million, 300 million, but the deficit, it could be as high as 3000 million."

Sun Chuanting knew that this was the account book on the surface, and he still stared at Zhang Bingwen, saying: "I know that some people have gone to other places, and I want to know if I can use it."

Zhang Bingwen looked at Sun Chuanting with his usual expression, looked straight at him and said, "The Chief Assistant should know that this question cannot be answered by the lower officials."

As high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty, they all knew that apart from normal taxes, Daming also had some relatively obscure income.

For example, some silver will enter the palace quietly and become internal money.These are legitimate incomes that are the result of specific causes.

Naturally, Sun Chuanting did not dare to make such an idea. What he wanted to ask was actually the Royal Bank.

As the place where Daming issued currency, the Royal Bank used leverage, replacement, and lending every year. Its commercial banks, acres of land, shops and other assets made a lot of profits. These profits were not taxed, nor turned over to the treasury, and had been circulating inside and outside the Royal Bank.

Chapter 1433 5000 million silver!

Except for Fu Tao and Zhu Xu, maybe Fu Changzong didn't know how many of this part was.

But Zhang Bingwen, as Fu Changzong's right-hand man for many years, should have a general idea in mind.

Sun Chuanting looked stern, and said, "What I'm asking is, how much can I use?"

Zhang Bingwen looked at Sun Chuanting, the pressure on his shoulders increased greatly, and he was silent for a while, and said: "The Royal Bank plans to replace 1000 million this year, issue 2000 million, the total is 3000 million, and the bond is tentatively planned to be 500 million to test the water. The internal use of the Royal Bank is about 5000 million. About ten thousand, if the emperor's internal funds... the first assistant can be moved, there may be a lot."

Sun Chuanting relaxed a lot and sat back, looking thoughtful.

These are just Zhang Bingwen's explanations. He has to ask Fu Tao about the specifics, and then ask Qianqing Palace for instructions.
