Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 424 Outspoken Zhu Pingan

  A sycophant is easy to get promoted!

  Many people in Li Mo's camp shook their heads and sighed.

  Hanlin Academy's servant reading is a sixth-rank official position, and Zhu Ping'an's original position was the Imperial Academy's revision, which was a sixth-rank official position.

  From the sixth rank to the regular sixth rank, this is an official promotion.

  Don’t underestimate this level. It’s not that easy to get promoted in the capital. How many people still hang on to the word “cong” after more than ten years, and no matter how much they try to get promoted to “Zheng”, they can’t get promoted. If it's a relationship, all the money for this flower will go to the sea.

  In addition, Zhu Ping'an almost created a record of promotion in the Ming Dynasty, and the newly promoted Jinshi was the fastest person to be promoted. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a newly promoted Jinshi who can be promoted so quickly after being awarded an official. It has only been three or five days since Zhu Ping'an became a Jinshi and was awarded an official and assigned to the Imperial Academy. In just a few days, Zhu Ping'an was promoted. It can be said that he was the first person to be promoted in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Pingan didn't expect to be promoted so soon. He thought that Emperor Jiajing might just call him to honor him with a few words of reward, but he didn't expect that he was promoted too quickly. This is really unexpected Zhu Ping'an's surprise, so that Zhu Ping'an was stunned for two seconds before reacting.

   "My minister, thank you Lord Long En. I will continue to work hard and do my best to serve His Majesty." Zhu Pingan was stunned for two seconds before reacting to the reminder of Xiao Huangmen, and once again saluted Emperor Jiajing.

   Emperor Jiajing nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.

   After commending Zhu Pingan, Emperor Jiajing did not let Zhu Pingan retreat, but let Zhu Pingan listen to the debate of the ministers about the sea ban.

  The ministers also rested at this time, and the lively scene of the debate resumed in the hall again. However, after arguing for a while, they didn't argue about anything. Emperor Jiajing was uninterested in hearing it, and waved his hand to signal them to stop arguing. After Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, the ministers stopped arguing soon.

   "Zhu Aiqing, what do you think after hearing this? In your opinion, should the sea ban be strictly banned or relaxed?" Emperor Jiajing asked Zhu Ping'an.

Uh

   Sure enough, I will ask myself my opinion on the sea ban, but fortunately, I have prepared an answer before coming here. In fact, this question is very simple. Whether it is strictly prohibited or relaxed, this is behind the trend of the times. The modern trend is a great voyage! As for the sea ban and the like, all of them should be thrown far away. If you don't hurry up to chase the dividends of the great voyage, you will be abandoned by the times, and you can only wait for the ship salute to open the country.

  Although I know the great navigation, although I know that the sea ban is the root cause of China's lagging behind the West in the future, and although I know the harm of the sea ban and the closed country, but in front of Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Pingan can't say that.

   "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just listened to the remarks of Lord Yan, Lord Li and others, and I have benefited a lot. I think that whether the ban is strict or relaxed, there is a reason for it." Zhu Pingan leaned back and said.

   Whatever you call it makes sense, what you said is completely unreasonable, right?

  As soon as Zhu Ping'an's voice fell, there were several laughs in the hall, laughing at Zhu Ping'an's opinion. In their view, Zhu Ping'an's words were panacea words, which was equivalent to saying nothing.

   "Aiqing is playing tricks." Emperor Jiajing scolded with a smile, "It's all reasonable, so what's the point of asking you."

   Well scolded, Li Mo listened to Emperor Jiajing's laughing and scolding, and only shouted in his heart, thinking that people like Zhu Pingan owed...

"Damn my minister, in fact, before I came here, I also looked up relevant information in the Imperial Academy, but my knowledge is limited, and I have not yet come to a conclusion about whether the sea ban is relaxed or not, my minister Yu Lu, after consulting the information." Zhu Pingan He bent down and pleaded guilty.

   "If you haven't found any conclusions, what's the use of your words." Emperor Jiajing cursed again with a smile.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although I haven't found out whether the sea ban has been relaxed or not, I have come across a method of multiplying the treasury without paying taxes to the people. Of course, I'm just looking at it at first glance, so I'm not sure. Whether the method is practical or not." Zhu Pingan replied with a bow.

  The people do not increase the tax and the treasury doubles? !

  Zhu Ping'an's voice was not loud, but at this moment, it was like a thunderstorm, and all the people in the hall were stunned.

   Then, there was a burst of discussion, and the elders and ministers pointed at Zhu Ping'an and shook their heads from time to time.

  At this moment, the Prohibition faction and the Relaxation faction finally reached an agreement!

   Grandstanding!

   What nonsense!

   Almost no one believes what Zhu Pingan said, the people do not increase the tax, but the national treasury doubles, pay attention, this kid still uses the word "doubling"! Do you think you are Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty? In addition, what a famous person Wang Anshi is. What they say is only "the people do not add gifts and the country is rich". It's enough to spend, it's better for you, Zhu Ping'an, you dare to use "doubling", you mean to double the money in the treasury! It's crazy!

  It’s nonsense, if the people don’t pay more, how can the treasury double!

   It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. In order to impress the public, this kid really does everything he can!

   Li Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked at Zhu Ping'an with even more disgust! In Li Mo's view, it would be a shame for him to stand in the same hall as Zhu Ping'an. This kid is not only a flattering and flattering person, but also an arrogant person who talks slanderously! This kind of person is simply hopeless!

   "Aiqing, do you know what I said?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Pingan with interest and asked, but his eyebrows were also tight with suspicion.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I know that I only came up with this idea today, because the Holy Majesty sent someone to confiscate the materials related to the sea ban, so I became concerned about the materials. I searched for a batch of materials in Zangshuge and wanted to I searched for the reason to prove whether the sea ban is relaxed or not, but Weichen has little talent and knowledge and did not check and draw a conclusion. But fortunately, Weichen collected an interesting information from these materials, and Weichen read more out of curiosity. I was lucky enough to get a method of doubling the national treasury without increasing taxation. After private preliminary demonstrations, it is probably feasible. However, it may be due to my lack of talent and learning, and it is possible to make a mistake, but at present, it is probably feasible." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands in salute.

   Rampant, dare to say that it is probably feasible!

   Li Mo and others looked at Zhu Ping'an with even more disgust. This kid said that he found a way to double the national treasury without increasing taxes from the sea ban. It is a piece of nonsense. We have studied sea bans for decades and have never found any method to double the state treasury without increasing taxes. The kid really dares to say it! Young people don't care about the occasion when they speak big words, they are really self-inflicted, and I will definitely want you to look good later!
