Domineering Daming

After he finished speaking, he walked towards an inner prison in front of the Meridian Gate, said a few words, then led ten execution officials, and turned back to the Ministry of War.

The inner supervisor glanced at the distance, then turned and entered the palace.

"Tsk tsk, it's better to be a young man, and he survived eighty sticks..."

"Yeah, it's a pity for Yuan Chonghuan, I thought he could survive."

"If you die, you deserve it. Daming has deserted so many soldiers and generals over the years, and he didn't kill many..."

"Yes, it's just that there are fewer kills!"

The people in front of the Meridian Gate kept talking, and those in the imperial study didn't stop either.

Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong, and said, "Uncle, the discussion over there belongs to the discussion, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot stop. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the political reform, the Ministry of Household Affairs must make arrangements in each prefecture and county to purchase the surplus food in the hands of the people. , Stored in the top ten granaries. Don’t spare silver, silver is dead, and grain is the lifeblood.”

Zhu Xu told Fu Changzong about this matter, and Fu Changzong was also making arrangements, and said in response: "Yes, the Ministry of Household Affairs is already stepping up arrangements."

Zhu Xu nodded, and continued: "Also, industries that consume food, such as wine making, should be controlled. In short, we must save food. There are too many places where food will be used in the future."

Fu Changzong responded and wrote it down silently.

Zhu Xu's words continued: "The purchase of food from the people is led by the household department and should be arranged as a top priority. I will also let my elder brother use the network of the chamber of commerce to purchase from merchants on a large scale. I will let the governors of all regions, The governor's yamen cooperates..."

It took a while for Zhu Xu to stop talking. After taking a sip of tea, he turned his gaze to King Jing Zhu Luhu, and said, "The Supervisory Council, the next job is to sort out the laws of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the time of Taizu, and filling in the gaps. It is to be promulgated to the world. If there are not enough manpower, it can be called from the Imperial Academy, the Government Affairs Council, or even the local government. It must be perfected and not criticized by others..."

Zhu Lvhu knew very well in his heart that the Governor's Office is not only the office for amending the law, but also the important office for implementing it. He raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "I obey the order!"

Sun Chengzong and others did not speak, but their hearts were like a mirror. The harsh laws of the Taizu period, not to mention everything, just the handling of corruption can cause the world's officials to rebound!

However, they also knew that the emperor was clearly going to reshape Daming with heavy codes, and while they were worried, their expectations for the revival of Daming became more and more intense.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he turned to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others, and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of War will clean up military discipline again, and disobedience will never be allowed to happen again! If it happens again, not only the leading generals, but also the officials of the Ministry of War will be punished together!"

Sun Chengzong and the others were startled, and hurriedly raised their hands and said, "I obey the order!"

After talking for a long while, Zhu Xu let the group of people leave the imperial study.

After they were all gone, Zhu Xu let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, Beibei can relax for the time being and concentrate on handling internal affairs.

He habitually picked up the playbook on his right, and was startled when he opened it.

This is Bi Ziyan's memorandum, and the opening page is to impeach Wei Zhongxian, saying that he killed too much in the south, and that on average, high-ranking officials above the fifth rank were killed or arrested every day.

Zhu Xu counted the time silently, Wei Zhongxian had been to the south for more than a month, and it was time to call him back.

Zhu Xu continued to read, Bi Ziyan also described in detail the advancement of the political reform in the south, and it was better than expected. As an imperial envoy and with the title of imperial teacher, Bi Ziyan participated in various literary associations in the south There were quite a few, and the banquets and banquets were full, but the quietness gradually stabilized the Southern Shilin Group, so that they would not have too much dissatisfaction with the court.

Zhu Xu nodded, put it aside, and continued to review the playbook.

In the Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Youjian held a cabinet meeting. When he finished talking about taxation, everyone was surprised and then kept silent.

Jiang Dejing, Qian Longxi, Zhou Yanru and others all frowned, looking vigilant.

The imperial court has raised a lot of taxes in recent years, but it has never collected taxes from wealthy households. However, Jingyang Palace introduced the Taizu’s law. This is the ancestral system. They have no way to refute it, but they can’t agree with it. It’s not the one with the most acres of land. Others are officials like them. How many officials have there been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years?Who dares to tax them?

Just be silent.

Why didn't Zhu Youjian know that he didn't speak or urge him, and said indifferently: "You should think about this matter after you go back, and discuss it tomorrow. There is another matter. The emperor thinks that the provinces are too large to be conducive to the court. Jurisdiction, want to redefine the province, what do you think?"

Everyone's eyes lit up fiercely, and they immediately realized that Daming would have countless more official positions, and they also had many apprentices and grandchildren, and friends from the village could arrange them!

Jiang Dejing glanced at the others, and said to Zhu Youjian: "My lord, I agree that it is possible to delineate five more provinces based on the territory of our Ming Dynasty, but redrawing the provincial boundaries involves many things and needs to be carefully considered." Discuss, especially those local officials who are feuding borders."

In this matter, the most damaging ones are these big officials in the frontier.

Qian Longxi's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his hand and said, "My lord, please order me to go out of Beijing to inspect the provinces, and persuade all the governors and viceroys to cooperate with the imperial court in redesigning."

Zhou Yanru frowned. Such a good opportunity was preempted by Qian Longxi. He changed his mind and said, "My lord, this matter is of great importance. You might as well follow the example of the disaster response government office and set up a domain reform government office for unified planning."

Zhou Yanru's mind is very simple, Qian Longxi will go to the place, he will control the capital, let's see who wins more!

Jiang Dejing was a little bit worse, feeling a little anxious, thinking about it and making amends: "My lord, the division of provinces needs to be cautious. After I go back, I will make a sample map and present it to the lord for reference."

Jiang Yongde's words are also very clear, he holds the planning power of the province, and those officials in the frontier still don't come to visit?Otherwise, one or two wealthy counties will be allocated to others!

Zhu Youjian also served as a prime minister for two years, and he finally understood. His thoughts on these people were very clear, his expression sank, and he said, "Let's do this first."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked to his classroom.

Jiang Dejing, Qian Longxi, and Zhou Yanru didn't care much about Zhu Youjian's mood. The matter of increasing provinces was too important for them to be indifferent.

They each pondered their own ideas, but instead of staying in Wenzhao Pavilion, they went out of the palace one after another, summoned the disciples of the disciples, and secretly discussed.

Zhu Youjian came into the classroom, opened the window, and looked at the blue sky, but his heart and body were hot.

Wang Chengen stood in a corner not far from him, like an invisible man, silent.

He looked at Zhu Youjian's back with a look of worry on his face.He knew that Zhu Youjian was dissatisfied with the few ministers outside, and had been looking for real talents, but he had never found them.

Zhu Youjian was restless and impatient, and couldn't calm down for a while, so he turned around and said, "Go, go out for a walk."

Wang Chengen opened the door and slowly followed Zhu Youjian out of the palace.

Zhu Youjian has always been self-denying and devoted to public affairs, and has always strictly controlled his emotions. Today, this situation is still very rare.

Mizhi County.

Huang Laier was paraded with heavy weapons. Because he owed a lot of debts, he was sued by the creditors to the yamen. Although the post station paid him well and paid him a lot of money, he was still heavily sentenced by the yamen because of his high debts and a drop in the bucket. There are rumors that the creditor bribed the jailer to kill him in prison.

Huang Lai'er was tall and mighty, wearing a shackle, with a look of resentment, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Song Xiance watched from the crowd, frowning. In his opinion, Huang Lai'er valued love and righteousness. Apart from spending money lavishly, he had no other evil deeds. He shouldn't just die in prison like this!

He thought for a while, then took out a piece of jade from his pocket, looked at it again and again, gritted his teeth, turned and walked towards the pawn shop.

That night, Song Xiance passed through the Yamen and rescued Huang Laier from prison.

Huang Lai'er suffered a lot of punishment, Song Xiance supported him and said, "Huang Lai, what do you plan to do from now on?"

Although Huang Lai'er was rescued, they also made it clear that Huang Lai'er could not stay in Mizhi any longer and had to leave overnight.

Huang Lai'er limped, the anger in his heart could not be dispelled, and he said in a hateful voice: "I will kill that Ai Zhao later, Kang Nian, do you dare to accompany me?"

Song Xiance is not in a good mood recently, the imperial government's political reform has cut off his imperial examination path, not to mention, King Nalu is still eyeing him, thinking about the people in Shaanxi's life, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, kill as soon as you kill, the worst is to leave Shaanxi! "

Huang Lai'er was overjoyed, and patted Song Xiance on the shoulder vigorously, saying: "Good brother! If I become prosperous in the future, I will definitely benefit from you in Kang Nian!"

Song Xiance supported Huang Lai'er, and laughed loudly: "Okay, the world is big, there will always be a time for us to prosper!"
