When the crown prince spoke like this, the three cabinet members actually understood. Why do some courtiers say that the prince is too smart to refuse advice? It's because sometimes the prince will be very insistent on his own opinions. Now it's a familiar scene again.
They wanted to stop it, but they couldn't do it before. Now with the increasing power of the East Palace, they can't do it even more. Speaking of which, there is so much foreshadowing, which is already very embarrassing.
Li Dongyang is good at planning, and he is not that rigid. If the way forward is blocked, he will choose to take a detour. If the current situation continues, Mr. Liu Ge will either fight against the prince, or the prince will ignore them and choose to use eunuchs to manage these shops and workshops.
So he had a quick wit and said, "Your Highness, if we really want to try it out for a few years as Otsuka Zai said, I wonder if this should be set up under the Ministry of Household Affairs, just like the Ministry of War sets up Taipu Temple to handle horse administration, and the Ministry of Household Affairs also sets up a Agency agency official store."
Zhu Houzhao understood what this meant. They were afraid that such a large amount of financial resources would fall into the hands of internal officials.
In fact, for him, whether he is an internal official or an external official, there is not much difference. Now these external officials also listen to him. As for the problem of corruption, no matter where it is located, there will be corruption, and the difference is not big.
Moreover, it is extremely difficult to build an organization like this in today's moral environment. If there are ministers who are also leaders, the resistance will actually be even greater. So get things done first and then talk. Anyway, it can be changed in the future. When a small soldier crosses a river, a pawn will be raised by the sun. He is only fourteen years old, what's the rush?
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao agreed after thinking for a while, "In addition, I have said that the imperial court will never compete with the people for profit. What I do is essentially to take from the people and use it for the people. This is what I said. It must be simple, but it is not easy to do. Da Situ,"
In Korean, "I am here."
"Those of us must be worthy of God in our work, and worthy of the people below. It is already the end of the year. Starting from the 18th year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Accounts must carefully calculate how much money this new organization takes in every year, where it comes from, and how much money it spends. How much silver and where did the money go? Make three copies of this account book. One is kept at the household department, and the other is sent to the Nanjing household department for storage. If the capital cannot be found after thousands of years, future generations will have to find it in Nanjing. Finally Send a copy to the palace, and after reading it with all the ministers, publish it in Ming Pao and publish it all over the world!"
"If we do not do well, hey, then don't blame the people for scolding us. If we do well, there is no need to be humble and let the people know that the court is doing them a favor."
Zhu Houzhao pointed at them and then at himself, "So we must use this account book to deliver a message to the people of the world and to future generations! Neither you nor I can escape from this mission!"
Wang Hao, Han Wen and others previously felt that this matter was somewhat inconsistent with the orthodox Confucian education concepts they had received since childhood, but now when they heard the prince say such heart-wrenching words, they all knelt down and kowtowed!
This is a good idea, let the people of the world and future generations supervise it. Although it is a bit hypocritical, what is shown is the attitude and courage of those in power!
At this point, Mr. Liu Ge couldn't say anything more, but there were probably a lot of people in the court who didn't understand, so I had no choice but to read this. ….
Zhu Houzhao has already arranged the next thing, "This organization is named Shaofu. When it was founded, Gu Shilang,"
"I'm here." Gu Zuo cupped his hands and walked out.
"If you work harder, you can take the title of Minister and serve as the Shaofu Order. Then go to Zhejiang in person, take over all the shops and workshops gained from the house raid, and resume business as soon as possible. The specific management personnel can be found at Look for it locally..." Zhu Houzhao said while stroking his chin and thinking, "Grain merchants belong to grain merchants, and cloth merchants belong to cloth merchants. Don't scratch your eyebrows and beards. In addition, each shopkeeper's annual salary consists of two parts, one part is the basic Salaries are paid to them regardless of wind or rain. The other part is incentive salary. All these shops are responsible for operating their own profits and losses. Only when profits are made, the management staff will receive incentive salary. You can decide the specific proportion as appropriate. "
In fact, not to mention that the management organization is corrupt, but the management staff below are also corrupt.
Gu Zuo felt a little confused after hearing this. He asked, "Your Highness, what does it mean to be responsible for your own profits and losses? Does the operator have to make up for the losses out of his own pocket?"
"No, I mean if
If you make a loss, then close it, sell it, or convert it into another store. In short, let the people responsible for management pack up and leave, and find a way to find another job to support yourself. In addition, they will also find ways to stuff money into their own pockets, so there must be random checks, and if there is a crime, they will be severely punished. "
Wang Hao worriedly said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that people with some talent will go out and open their own shops."
Zhu Houzhao was not worried, "As long as there is room for mobility in any system, there is no need to worry about the lack of talents. For example, if these managers do well, they will have channels for upward advancement. Why are you afraid that they will not come? If they work for the court, they will They are not considered pure businessmen, and some of the laws restricting businessmen do not apply to them. This alone is very powerful. In short, the knowledge here is very great. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Households sent several capable young officials , let’s go to Zhejiang together. I’m keeping an eye on this matter.”
The prince glanced at Fengxi, who started to lower his head to record. This action also caught the eyes of Han Wen, Gu Zuo and other officials.
Fengxi didn't have any other skills. He just sorted out texts all day long, and the prince and ministers discussed matters. Most of the time, he only listened, did not participate, and only took notes.
But afterwards the prince would call in the responsible officials for questioning based on the matters he had recorded.
If you do well, then everyone will be in peace, and the prince will give you some rewards. If you don't do well, you will be demoted and dismissed from office.
Anyway, in the past few years, whenever the prince says, "I'm following him," it's a signal. If there's something wrong with you, you should tell him earlier. Don't make excuses afterwards, it's useless. There is no such thing as lying down here. If you dare to lie down, the prince will make it impossible for you to get up.
"Weak ministers, take the edict." Gu Zuo still remembered that in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, when Liang Chu had just taken over Ma Zheng, that was something the prince asked about every day.
As soon as the prince became concerned, Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs from Shaanxi kept reporting to the palace. It became more difficult for officials at all levels to commit fraud. However, after a few years, as long as someone is serious about doing something, the results will still be there. People and people can achieve political success. ….
The matter in Zhejiang seems to be over here.
However, Mr. Liu Ge was always worried that it could have ended like this. Who would have thought that there would suddenly be a commotion in the Young Mansion? It would be strange to pour chopped green onion into the hot pot in the court hall and not jump around.
But for Liu Jian, this is also a familiar scene: as long as it is really beneficial to the people, the cabinet will try to leave it alone. Anyway, the prince has ways to deal with those ministers.
"Are there any other problems regarding Zhejiang?" Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Fengxi.
Feng Xi understood the idea and said, "The eunuch Zhang Yong of the imperial horse supervisor reported to the court. Wei Bin, the former eunuch guarding Zhejiang Province, kowtowed to the north and drank poisonous wine and died. Zhang Yong asked the court to provide him with a coffin and a shroud for his funeral."
"That's right." Zhu Houzhao was a little bit embarrassed, but he could just keep this feeling in his heart. He had nothing to say to the ministers, so after he finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the back of the palace. The ministers naturally knew what they should do after they saw it. Resign.
[By the way, currently the best one for reading and listening to books, @
The prince also promised them that all the money would be used for state affairs, and he also told the world that as long as the prince persisted, no one would dare to stretch their hands here.
Didn't Wei Bin's head fall to the ground?
Speaking of which, Han Wen suddenly thought of Fengxi and said to Gu Zuo: "Your Highness keeping Fengxi by your side is quite useful. There are so many things going on in Zhejiang, why don't you mention Wei Bin? A matter of death?"
The prince doesn't know how to give instructions. He still needs to think about such small thoughts. Even the prince's eight heads are not enough. So it should be Fengxi's intention.
Gu Zuo took over the Young Master's order and now has a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he never thought about it after leaving the palace. Now he still feels mysterious when he hears it, "That Fengxi really has such thoughts? There seems to be nothing else about Zhejiang. Yes, it’s a coincidence, right?”
"Those who can stay with His Highness are right if they think deeply about it." Han Wen stroked his white beard, "He doesn't have many opportunities to speak, so he either doesn't say anything, or he has to talk about His Highness. In my heart."
Gu Zuo was silent. He swung back and forth between not quite believing it and not daring to deny it completely. "...After all, do what His Highness told you first."
Gu Zuo has a somewhat straightforward personality. It stands to reason that he cannot reach such a high position as Minister of Household Affairs. However, the prince has been forcing all ministries to put practical matters first in recent years, especially key departments such as the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel. The prince is more concerned about it. , which forces them to recruit some people who know how to work, otherwise wouldn't it be very tiring to be the top leader?
Gu Zuo had this opportunity precisely because he worked hard.
Han Wen admired such people, so he was always willing to remind him of the way to be an official: "Liang Bi, please don't underestimate these people. The prince's thoughts are often unexpected. If you and I want to understand, there are some things that cannot be said from Fengxi." It comes out of his mouth. The word "skill" depends on how you interpret it. You organize the affairs of the ministry concisely and efficiently, this is your skill. Fengxi's ability to figure out the prince's thoughts is also called your skill. These two skills are indispensable."
These words were not spoken in Korean in the past, so Gu Zuo couldn't hear much. He just felt that Han Wen was as attentive to the ministry as he was. Only now did he understand that it was not easy to get a minister. Just such a simple statement from a small record officer was actually considered to have such a taste.
The Forbidden City, the Forbidden City, when will a simple person like Gu be able to enjoy themselves?
