The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know much about the economy, and there was no precedent for setting up a government office to purchase goods from the people.

Emperor Gao left his ancestral precepts and was not allowed to compete with the people for profit.

The imperial court's doing business with the people violated the ancestral precepts again.

And he couldn't decide whether this move would be good or bad for the world.

Liu Jian and others probably had the same expressions.

"There is no precedent for this in the Yan Qing family. Isn't this too sudden?"

Chai Sheng nodded and said, "What your Majesty said is true. Jiujiang is in a tight situation, and it's not too late to cut expenses. You still need to open more yamen."

All officials nodded vigorously and disapproved of Yan Chengjin's establishment of Yishi Yamen.

Yan Chengjin said: "There is a precedent. Jiubian paid rice and noodles in exchange for silver.

The common people were afraid of being exploited and did not dare to sell to the gentry.

The imperial court clearly marked the prices of various products and issued orders to the censors and yamen in various places, which was the fastest way to promote the products. "

Li Dongyang remained silent. At present, Fanwu could not be promoted, and the imperial court had no precedent of Yishi Yamen.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what the consequences would be, so he said with trepidation: "First try it out in the main palace of the fifteenth road in the two capitals to see the effect."

Xie Qian and others were stunned.

If the Yishi Yamen is added, the number of candidates for the imperial examination will increase compared with previous years.

Coupled with the addition of the Hainan Chief Envoy, the number of Hanlin officials in Hanlin Garden was almost insufficient.

Liu Jian asked: "Your Majesty, to which department does Yishi Yamen belong?"

There are six ministries and five temples in the court, which are in charge of all the government agencies in the world.

Chai Sheng said quickly: "Since it is the same as the tea and horse trading market on the border, it should belong to the Ministry of War."

At present, we should strive for the control of Yishi Yamen and improve our status among the six departments.

The institutions in the DPRK are extremely delicate, just like the cabinet. Initially, it can only be read to His Majesty and has no real power.

Now, it is superior to the six departments.

So what if it was you who advised Yishi Yamen? It is still unclear who will win.

Wang Qiong hurriedly bowed: "I think the tax control should be placed in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zeng Jian and Zhang Sheng hesitated to speak. This matter had nothing to do with the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites.

Forcibly advising will only make His Majesty see through his intention to fight for power.

Yan Chengjin said nothing.

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated and looked at the cabinet: "Which department does the cabinet think it should belong to?"

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of taxes, and the market needs to set prices, the Ministry of Households!" Liu Jian said without thinking.

The Ministry of War does not know how to settle accounts, and does not know how much tax will be levied in a day. It is useless to join in.

The local government already had the Yushi Yamen, and adding the Yishi Yamen, the power would be too great.

Yan Chengjin had no intention of being subordinated to the Ducha Yuan: "What Liu Gong said is reasonable, but it still needs the supervision of the Du Cha Yuan."

Emperor Hongzhi also knew that there was bound to be a large amount of silver flowing: "Then it will be under the Ministry of Household Affairs and be supervised by the Imperial Court."

Chai Sheng was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it might not be a good thing.

If Yishi Yamen fails, it will be Wang Qiong's fault.

Wang Qiong was very happy and got a big deal for nothing.

After coming out of Fengtian Hall, Wang Qiong took the initiative to greet Chai Sheng and said with a pleasant smile: "They are all working for the imperial court. Brother Gongzhao, don't be angry."

Chai Sheng snorted coldly and walked towards the duty room of the Ministry of War.

Wang Qiong's smile did not fade, and he followed every step, just like a father coaxing his son: "Are you angry? Why is Mr. Chai like this? Why don't you go to Yudi's house for a drink?"

Seeing this scene, Yan Chengjin silently raised Wang Qiong's rank to the highest level.

Wang Qiong may not have outstanding talents, but he is definitely the best in dealing with others.

After all, although Xie Qian can speak, he still has to face it.

Returning to the cabinet, Yan Chengjin saw Liu Jian spreading Lingjin and preparing to write an imperial edict.

Liu Jian saw him and said, "Why don't you write this imperial edict?"

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also looked over.

This son has been in the cabinet for a while, so he must not be able to write imperial edicts, right?

Yan Chengjin's face moved slightly: "I'm not familiar with the genre of imperial edicts, so I'm afraid I won't be able to write."

The flesh on Liu Jian's face trembled, and he was so angry: "Come here, I will teach you how to write!"

Li Dongyang lowered his head and continued to read the memorial, while Xie Qian came over with a joking face: "I don't believe you can't write. How many imperial edicts have you memorized secretly?"

Liu Jian looked straight at Yan Chengjin.

"It's only two hundred and eighty-two steps, so it can be called a beginner." Yan Chengjin said.

While they were talking, the attendant Hanlin came running in: "Mr. Liu, there is an urgent report from the Xuanfu!"

Liu Jian opened the memorial and saw that the prince hijacked Wang Yong of the Gaoshan Guard and robbed the Gaoshan Guard. His eyes widened with fear.

"Too...the prince is really making a big fuss!"

Li Dongyang hurriedly came over, and after a moment, he looked equally shocked.

Yan Chengjin was dumbfounded. Will His Majesty stay where he is?

"See your Majesty! Go see your Majesty quickly!"

The prince is already outside the pass. If he is captured by the Tatars and threatens the Ningxia border troops, the battle will be impossible to fight.

The three of them came to Fengtian Hall in a hurry, with Yan Chengjin following behind.

After Emperor Hongzhi saw the Shuzuo, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he smashed the Shuzuo to the ground.

"This bastard wants to piss me off to death!"

Yan Chengjin thought to himself, no one can control him, this is Zhu Houzhao's nature.

Historically, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao had a very good relationship, and those who deserved it would not be beheaded.

Since he entered the court as an official, although he had been coaxed, he had never influenced Zhu Houzhao's wishes.

However, he could guess Zhu Houzhao's intention. If he escaped from the palace to fight in the war, he would be scolded to death by the civil servants if he was not beaten to death by his majesty.

If you achieve military merit, your guilt can be reduced.

Xie Qian comforted him: "Your Majesty, although it is not good news, we finally have the whereabouts of the prince."

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, this evil son always irritates me like this.

No one dared to speak in the hall.

"Go away."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hands weakly, Yan Chengjin looked at Li Dongyang, and saw that the three of them were silent and bowed and retreated.

Only Xiao Jing was left in the hall.

"Your Majesty?"

"Don't disturb me."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and muttered to himself.

In a blink of an eye, it was past lunch time, and Xiao Jing only brought lotus seed soup and put it aside.

The sunlight shining in from the wooden window gradually moved.

When it was almost time for sunset, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Call the cabinet."

Soon, Liu Jian led Yan Chengjin and the other two to salute and stood aside.

"Pass my decree, within three months, if the prince does not return to Beijing, the prince's position will be abolished!"

Hiss!

Liu Jian and others looked stiff and in horror.

His Majesty has only one son. No matter how big a mistake the prince made, he was only beaten and never mentioned to be abolished.

This time, His Majesty was really angry!

"Your Majesty, don't do that!"

"The prince is smart and can still be taught!"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang and others knelt on the ground.

Yan Chengjin didn't know whether to kneel or not.

Zhu Houzhao's escape from the palace had already angered Emperor Hongzhi. This guy also robbed Gaoshan Camp, which was no different from a bandit.

This time, someone really needs to be notified of Zhu Houzhao.

I wonder where Zhu Houzhao is now?

Emperor Hongzhi had a gloomy face: "He is just too smart. He knows that I can't do anything to him. Now that I have a grandson, I have made up my mind. If he doesn't come back, I will make the grandson the crown prince!"

The grandson is less than one year old.

Liu Jian raised his head slightly and looked at Emperor Hongzhi woodenly.

I saw that Emperor Hongzhi left angrily.

He sighed, turned his head and looked at Yan Chengjin: "You should write this imperial edict."

This imperial edict must not be written!

Just like those old ministers who wanted to abolish the position of the crown prince of Emperor Hongzhi, none of them had a good end after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne.

Just like a woman cheating, no matter how kind the emperor is, he can't tolerate it.

Although Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao were fooling around, they still had to make clear the issues of principle.

"I have never written an imperial edict before, so I really can't write one." Yan Chengjin bowed.

Li Dongyang didn't want Yan Chengjin to write it either. If the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, Yan Chengjin's career would stop there.

Even, it would bring disaster.

"Mr. Liu, this is really inappropriate. You know the weight of this memorial."

"Alas, who should write it?"

The three of them looked embarrassed, and no one wanted to write this memorial.

"Your Majesty didn't say who to write it, but I have a way. Why don't you give it to me." Yan Chengjin said.
