The first thing Yu Mao learned was to abolish the examination and make it a law. This process was indeed a bit incomplete. When it was first implemented, it was Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo who met and finally implemented it.
Let’s talk about it now. In fact, everyone is used to it.
The second thing in Yu Mao’s theory is to kiss [jiǎnè]. Fortunately, the little emperor has read a lot of books and knows what these two words mean. Jian’e means upright and dare to speak. Yu Mao’s theory: A straightforward minister often suffers How can this be done when people who dare to speak out are forced to move away and are not allowed to speak?
We should open up the channels of speech and get close to ministers who are upright and dare to speak out.
This second thing Zhu Yijun couldn't help but look at Hai Rui.
Hai Rui dared to criticize Emperor Jiajing by name, but Yu Maoxue didn't even dare to call Zhang Juzheng a traitor by name. He only dared to be weird.
"Hai Zongxian, Yu Mao's theory is that there is no integrity in the government, and it is really weird to say that I am not close to Jian'e." Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui and said with a smile.
How come there is no bone and righteousness? As soon as Hai Rui returned to Beijing, even the kneeling ceremony of the Quanjin, Quanchu, and Quanzhe guild halls was abolished. What is this if not bone and righteousness?
Hai Rui said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, I ask myself, I am a bit stubborn, but I also feel that I am still somewhat upright. Did Yu Maoxue directly remonstrate in the memorial? I asked more clearly, did the memorial impeach someone or something by name? "
"If not, then you are using the power of public opinion to coerce the imperial government's decree. Your Majesty is a treacherous and evil person, and you have to be on guard."
Hai Rui did not say any clichés, and directly gave the standard. Either you bring someone out and say something, or you shut up and said that His Majesty does not get close to upright and outspoken ministers. Hou Yuzhao was the first to refuse!
How shameless Hou Yu Zhao is. He asked His Majesty to preside over the court meeting. Your Majesty has to go to court on the third day of every lunar month to preside over the court meeting. This is not getting close to the noble ministers, so what is getting close!
The third thing in this memorial written by Yu Maoxue is to be careful about the names of utensils. Only utensils and names should not be faked. As a king, your majesty is too fond of some ministers and often bestows official positions of the first rank, but for real officials. The sage Wang Yangming has always refused to offer sacrifices to Confucius Temple. This is wrong.
Furthermore, Yu Maoxue believed that Yang Bo should not be given a posthumous title, let alone the Duke of Cheng Guo Zhu Xizhong Dingxiang.
Giving King Zhu Xizhong a posthumous title was a decision made by Tishuai Zhu Xixiao to request his brother's orders, drafted by the Ministry of Rites, and approved by the court. However, in the eyes of the ministers, this was Zhang Juzheng's attempt to please the hereditary nobles.
How should this be done?
From now on, when a minister dies at home, the governor or inspector in his place will check that he has no faults in his life, and that he is praised by public opinion as a good person. The Lord's kindness is not in vain.
That is to say, Yang Bo died of illness at home. The governor of Shanxi inspected the merits and demerits of his life. The most important thing is that public opinion praises the virtuous. Only when public opinion says the virtuous can he be given a posthumous title. This is public opinion. If public opinion does not praise the virtuous, why? Can I give you a posthumous title? Isn’t this the Lord’s grace overflowing?
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said, "Da Sikou, please read the third thing about the memorial."
Zhang Juzheng handed Yu Maoxue's memorial to Wang Chonggu. Wang Chong saw the third thing and frowned more and more, and then he passed the memorial down.
Zhu Yijun then asked: "Yu Mao's theory told me to be careful about my reputation. What he meant was that the kindness I gave him was too excessive. You see, he said that the minister died of illness at home, and he should be praised by public opinion. I thought he was talking about Yang." Dazai? What does Da Sikou think?"
Recently, only Yang Bo died of illness at home in the imperial court. The old dog Xu Jie is still alive and well.
"He farts!" Wang Chonggu said angrily: "Your Majesty, the villain's slander cannot be trusted! The court has already concluded the merits and demerits of Dazai, is it his turn to talk nonsense?"
If Yang Bo couldn't even get a posthumous title and a posthumous name, Wang Chonggu would never even think about it. Yu Maoxue's third thing was just talking about Yang Bo.
The ministers of vitality and vitality of the court are the second-level ministers, and there are only a few of them, the six ministers, the left and right general constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the first and second assistants of the cabinet. The ones who have recently become officials are: Yang Bo, Lu Shusheng, Wang Zhigao and Zhu Heng. Only Yang Bo is gone. Who is Yang Bo talking about? !
"The great Sikou has disgraced the gentlemen." Feng Bao reminded Wang Chonggu to pay attention to his manners. In the solemn and solemn place of the Wenhua Hall, how could he say the word "fart" in a dirty word?
The fourth thing that Yu Mao learned is to refrain from making mistakes, that is, don’t establish a certain Dharma with a certain word and then abandon it with a certain word tomorrow. We must follow the ancestral law, and we must follow the law for three generations. In fact, we are talking about the method of hiding the names of the people. This method of hiding the names of people ignores human feelings. It is simply a crazy and rebellious person who has no king or father. The desperate plan.
He said: The matters listed in the regulations are difficult to deal with, so you must consult the local department, pay attention to them, and then deal with them after they are agreed. Do not tolerate ambiguity to make changes.
It is obvious that Zhang Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has been firmly opposed to the method of blinding names on the draft list and filling in the names in the base book. This promotion and dismissal is based solely on passing the examination. There is no room for it, and there is no respect for people at all. And the Ministry of Personnel Despite his persistent opposition, Zhang Juzheng still passed the court resolution forcefully without giving any face to the officials.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Han without questioning him. None of the ministers at the Wenhua Palace was a thousand-year-old fox. Everyone could tell at a glance what he was talking about.
The last thing is to guard against slander. It is said that it is recently seen that the Ministry of War has mentioned the merits of the border, and often the cabinet ministers are the first to praise the governor. However, it is still necessary to describe the examples of planning and propaganda.
Zhu Yijun looked at Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked with a smile: "Da Sima, during the Jiajing and Longqing years, can you inscribe the merits of covering the border?"
"Alas." Tan Lun sighed heavily. In the last years of Jiajing and the first years of Longqing, how could there be any merits to be mentioned? It wasn't until the Wanli period that we continued to win battles and achieve success on the border? The Ministry of War was a little happy. All the previous official documents stated that the battle was defeated here and the general soldier there was killed.
In other words, there is still some improvement in the peace of Japan, and some celebrations and rewards can be made. The rest are all threats and punishments.
Yu Mao learned this fifth thing, which is to set a target in the air. The emperor repeatedly used side merits to help Zhang Juzheng enter the official position. After going back and forth for so long, he still only received the treatment of a first-class official, without the official rank of a Taifu.
The emperor wanted to give it to Zhang Juzheng, wouldn't he? For this matter, the little emperor always nagged for a long time.
Zhu Yijun opened his fingers and counted them one by one: "Qian'an Bo, Ning Yuan Bo, Sishui Bo and Ying Yang Bo. Since I came to the throne, in just three years, I have conferred four counts. Yu Mao's theory is that I don't know the rewards and punishments?"
"Zhang Han, Minister of Civil Affairs, tell me, why are rewards and punishments unclear? Are rewards and punishments clear if you don't give them to military commanders?"
Zhu Yijun was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Han. The direction of this memorial was very obvious, that is, Zhang Juzheng passed the imperial examination to become a official in the Qingming Dynasty, which ruined the prestige of the Ministry of Personnel. Yang Bo was a supporter of the imperial examination and contributed to it. The test method was piloted in the capital.
As for Zhang Han, if Zhang Juzheng hadn't stopped him, Zhu Yijun would have told him to get out.
Zhang Han quickly bowed his head and said: "I have no intention of doing this. This memorial has nothing to do with me."
"That's good! Zhongshu Sheren drafted the decree!" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Han and said: "I have succeeded to the throne in the year of the Chong Dynasty. Day and night, I carefully abide by the ancestral laws, for fear of losing them. In recent years, I have only affirmed the old rules and repaired them. , He has not killed one person in vain or done one thing too much. He has not followed one or two of the ten laws of his ancestors. How can he be said to have acted too hastily?"
"Yu Mao, who is a scholar in the language department, does not think about the imperial court's efforts to govern. He uses the words of "Dun Da", "Jian'e", "famous weapons", "Fan Geng", and "slander" to win over people's hearts and undermine the government, just like these evil people who are disrupting the government. The crime of imprisonment should be punished according to the law, and the official should be lenient, removed from his position to serve the people, and never used again."
"We are going to ride on Luo Bingliang from a thousand households to find out whether he has been bribed by corrupt officials or wealthy people to lobby for him. If there is evidence, arrest him and bring him to the capital. Xu Xing will ask questions."
Zhu Yijun is forcing Zhang Han to protect Yu Mao's school. If Zhang Han does not protect Yu Mao's school, if Zhang Han asks Yan Guan to remonstrate in the future, Yan Guan will probably be repelled. If Zhang Han protects Yu Mao's school, then this matter has to do with Zhang Han, and it will be simple. Arrested at the palace!
Are you the only courtiers who know how to peel off the skin and see the bones? Wouldn’t the emperor know it?
"Your Majesty, are you too harsh on me?" Zhang Juzheng raised his hands and said, "Kedao Yanguan is the eyes and ears of the imperial court. If you are so harsh, it will hurt your integrity."
The Kedao Yanguan was an important error-correcting mechanism in the Ming Dynasty. Because he had to report something to the people, he would be dismissed from his post to serve the people and would never be used again. This punishment was already very severe. He would also be investigated for corruption, arrested and brought to Beijing, and Xu Xing would ask questions.
Zhang Juzheng was extremely cautious when dealing with officials. When he impeached him, he always asked Lu Tiaoyang to post blank notes to accuse officials of his fault. He did not seek personal revenge. Cheng Fa was promoted and dismissed normally. This was not the first time that Zhang Juzheng interceded for Yan Guan.
Zhu Yijun said very patiently: "If Mr. Yu Maoxue only went to the memorial to speak, why would I be so demanding? How many ministers came to the memorial, and I explained the reasons carefully to them. I was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so I asked Feng Daxuan to help explain."
"But he was resisting the imperial decree. The imperial court wanted to pass the exam, but he said it was impersonal. The imperial court wanted officials to discuss matters and speak with facts, so he said they would block the way of speech. The imperial court gave Yang Taizai and Cheng Guogong posthumous titles. They said that they did not care about public opinion; the imperial court wanted to give power to military generals and to record their merits and titles, but they said that I did not know the rewards and punishments, and they also said that there were treacherous people in the court."
"Look to me, he is the traitor!"
"To celebrate the power and punishment, to make such false accusations and not to deal with them, how can the Ming Dynasty be upright? In the future, these officials will rely on the laws established by their ancestors and the laws of the ancestors, and they will be able to influence the court situation out of thin air."
"The ministers of ears and eyes are indeed an important error-correcting mechanism of our Ming Dynasty, but this part of the body has rotted, so it should be cut off. Otherwise, how can new flesh grow?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I still think I can forgive you."
"Sir, I have made up my mind." Zhu Yijun refused to give in at all. He just forgot about other things and just said what he said. This is what he usually said, but this matter cannot be forgotten like this.
The trouble can't be ended, the worst it can do is issue a guilty edict. Anyway, I'm young and don't understand. The emperor has already admitted his mistake, so what else does he want to do!
"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng thought over and over again. He is the chief minister. His Majesty has already made a decision. Repeated remonstrances will make him more powerful. Since your Majesty insists on punishment, let's check it out, just in case. Nothing was found, so Yu Maoxue did not need to go to Beijing to ask questions.
The reason why Zhang Juzheng came to remonstrate was because he knew that as long as he investigated, he would be able to find out something. He was very confident in this.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Han, waiting for Zhang Han's performance. The chief assistant has already said good things for you. Why don't you, Zhang Han, say good things to your loser?
But Zhang Han never said a word and gave up on his lack of integrity.
Zhang Juzheng asked Ke Dao's public officials to impeach him. For example, when Zhang Chucheng attacked Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, and when Wang Xiyuan attacked Zhang Han, he always spoke for his subordinates. And as long as these two public officials launched an attack, it meant that Zhang Juzheng had obtained direct evidence. To prove that the accusation is not false.
But Zhang Han asked Yu Mao to give advice and create public opinion, but he refused to defend him. The distinction between a gentleman and a villain's friends is so clear. A gentleman has a clear conscience, because the facts are facts. Impeachment based on facts is not aimless, and villains Most of people's cronies are just shooting in the air and making false accusations one after another.
When false accusations become commonplace, the world will inevitably lose its etiquette and happiness, and will inevitably lose people's hearts, because the boundaries between right and wrong have been blurred. Doing is wrong, not doing is wrong, and even if you want to do, you can't do it. How can you talk about trying to govern the world?
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and asked, "What do you think the great Sikou thinks?"
Even if you want to take someone from the Imperial Guard, you still need two procedures, one is the emperor's imperial edict, and the other is the driving notice from the Ministry of Punishment. The case handled in this way is neither a white paper case nor a yellow paper case, but a criminal case. When dealing with ironclad cases, the attitude of the Ministry of Punishment is naturally required.
"I thought I would just take it. There is nothing wrong with Yan Guan who can make such remarks. I don't believe it. I brought him to the capital and put him in the sky prison. He was punished with five poisons. Naturally, he was punished. ." Wang Chonggu elaborated his opinions seriously, arresting him directly, and even investigating him, why is there any need to investigate?
Seeing that Wang Chonggu agreed, Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Wang Sikou is too radical."
Zhang Juzheng advised the emperor not to be radical, and the emperor advised Wang Chonggu not to be radical. Above the court, the most radical person was Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu and Yang Bo were relatives. Yu Mao learned this memorial and said whether it would hurt Zhang Juzheng to beat him. Wang Chonggu didn't know, but Yang Bo had already left. , Yang Bo can no longer resist.
If Wang Chonggu didn't speak categorically for Yang Bo, people's hearts would be completely shattered.
"What do the two presidents of the Metropolitan Procuratorate think?" Zhu Yijun asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate for their opinion. After all, the department's spokesperson was under the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Hai Rui shook his head and said: "I haven't seen any righteousness in these rebellious remarks. They are not in line with the upliftment of the government. They are just for personal gain. Why should you serve as an official in the government? Just work as an aide to the powerful." ”
"I have no objection." Ge Shouli said quite calmly. Yu Maoxue was from the Jin Party, but he was from Zhang Siwei. As the leader of the Jin Party, he wished that the clan party would die early and made the Jin Party embarrassed all day long.
What a stinky fish and rotten shrimp, it’s a shame to be associated with them.
"Then let's find the decree." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Han and sneered. He found the decree and ordered Jiangnan to investigate. Yu Maoxue's best buttocks are clean.
Everyone knows that Yu Mao has a lot going on behind the scenes.
Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial from the table and said: "Liang Menglong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, wrote a memorial to talk about maritime transportation, requesting that grain be transported by sea to support the wings of the capital reserve, Caohe Province, to avoid the suffering of the garrison, and to defend the coast guard station The canine teeth are scattered and can be used to restrain the sea and strengthen the gods."
Wang Chonggu took the lead in raising the question and said: "Yuanfu, you can't cheat your students like this. Liang Shilang has already fallen down on Haicao, and this time he comes to Haicao again. If something happens again this time, Yuanfu will also I can't keep Shilang Liang anymore, I see that Shilang Liang has already been ranked as the Left Shilang, and he can take one step further to enter the Wenhua Palace."
In September of the fifth year of Longqing, the Yellow River flooded and the canal was blocked. Zhang Juzheng asked Liang Menglong to preside over a water transport. Everything went smoothly. The first sea transport went very smoothly. A total of 120,000 shi of grain were transported to Tianjin Wei. , saving about fifteen thousand taels in freight.
As a result, Liang Menglong was awarded a platinum wedding dress and a one-level salary increase.
At the beginning of the first year of Wanli, when the shipping fleet arrived at Fushan Island in Jimo, it encountered strong winds. Seven grain-carrying ships broke down and drifted thousands of stones. Fifteen soldiers were drowned. Never again.
Transporting grain by river is a self-proclaimed tradition, but transporting grain by sea is a crooked way. With the support of Zhang Juzheng, Liang Menglong briefly resumed transporting grain by sea. However, he encountered a strong storm and the ship sank. Liang Menglong was immediately unlucky.
Sea shipping has since ceased.
"People can't stop eating just because they choked once. Shipping by sea is imperative." Zhang Juzheng said particularly forcefully.
"The reason is that Yuan Fu will be in charge of grain and sea transportation. Your Majesty firmly believes that Yuan Fu is loyal to the country, so there must be a reason to convince everyone." Ge Shouli looked at Zhang Juzheng and said very solemnly: "Yuan Fu needs to think clearly about this. Once opened, Yuan Fu may be charged with one more crime of treason with the Japanese."
Ge Shouli was not talking nonsense. After Liang Menglong's shipping fleet lost seven ships, the official in the court said: Those who talk about shipping are also pirates. Is it appropriate for the Qing Dynasty to tolerate this?
Liang Menglong's ships were hit by a storm, and seven of them sank, with thousands of stones lost, and he became a pirate.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Ge Shouli and said: "It is a common practice in the country to transport grain by river for 400 shi. When the grain reaches the capital, it is always a quarter less, and five qian for each shi is considered as loss. Everyone regards the grain as gold." It’s not surprising that he will lose his food and curse a lot.”
"Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. It would be strange not to scold them."
"Da Situ, please tell me why we need a sea canal."
Wang Guoguang picked up a pamphlet and said: "In the eleventh year of Chenghua, an additional 7 liters of rice were levied on the grounds of subsidizing fares, and the following year was over; in the 13th year of Chenghua, an additional levy of 7 liters was imposed on rice consumed by rats, and the following year Let's stop. In the seventh year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Household Affairs levied an additional 5 dou per stone to commiserate with the hardships of transporting the army. In the 10th year of Hongzhi, in the 13th year of Hongzhi, due to the rainy summer and autumn every year, 4 liters of sun-free rice were levied per stone, and 3 liters of rice were levied for the army. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, 2 liters of rice were added, and 5 dou of rice was lost. In the first year of Zhengde, all were given."
"In the seventh year of Zhengde, the family will give you 5 liters of steamed and moist rice, and the next year will be enough. In the sixteenth year of Zhengde, the price will be 1 dou of rice, and the next year will be enough."
Zhu Yijun could understand that these were temporary additions from the Chenghua period to the Zhengde period, and most of them would be added the following year.
Wang Guoguang continued: "Since the 26th year of the Jiajing reign, the river grain has been added with silver from the dam. One point of silver is added to each stone, which is used to maintain the canal. Later, for every hundred stones of rice consumed, four stones of sun-dried rice were added. , one stone and eight buckets of sun-raised rice, one stone and eight buckets of poured rice, a total of nine stones and eight buckets, this is a common practice for private postings, which continues to this day."
"In other words, four million stones, plus 392,000 stones in private notes."
Zhu Yijun was a little confused when he heard this and asked: "Sun-drying and sun-flavoring rice will cause moisture to dry and raise dust. What is this dripping rice?"
Wang Guoguang bowed his head and said: "It is Lingjian, the tax collection stone container. A rice tip must be piled on top, which is counted as one stone."
"Demonstrate." Zhu Yijun understood, but had never seen it before, so he asked Wang Guoguang to demonstrate what the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue was.
Feng Bao found a container with a bucket of rice, and Zhang Hong found a rice bag. Wang Guoguang held the rice in his hands and added it. When it was full, he continued to add it until a handful was added, and the rice began to drip from the tip. After it rolled down smoothly, Wang Guoguang stopped his hand and said, "This is Linjian rice. What falls on the ground belongs to the tax collector. Add more or less, depending on the tax collector's mood."
After Wang Guoguang finished speaking, he took another handful and poured it on the top of the rice. The white rice rolled down on the table.
"Sir, I'm confused." Zhu Yijun looked at the pointed bucket and the table of rice and said blankly.
Zhang Juzheng suddenly broke out in cold sweat, bowed his head and said, "I will help your majesty clear up your doubts."
Zhu Yijun said with great emotion: "Why haven't the common people come to the capital yet, cut off my head and use it as a cuju kick?"
"I am guilty." When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he trembled with fright and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"I am guilty." When the officials saw Yuan Fu kneeling, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Pingshen." Zhu Yijun waved his hand. He knew clearly what Linjian rice was. In addition to Linjian, the rice on the table was also part of the tax. He said calmly: "Let's continue the discussion."
Linjian can explain Luo Bingliang's questions: why do people prefer to protect powerful people rather than listen to the orders of the court? Why are powerful people so common in Ming Dynasty? Powerful people may be the last vestiges of common people's illusions.
Wang Guoguang looked at the dripping bucket in front of him and continued: "This is still a small part, the real big one, on the road, one stone of rice, starting from Nanya Caosi, there will be at least three stone of transportation loss along the way, that is to say, one stone of rice The tax costs three stones.”
"This includes the rations for transporting the army. Each transporter carries 2 shi and 8 buckets of rations. The monthly ration is 12 shi, totaling 14 shi and 8 buckets. Based on the price of grain in the north, it is 15 taels. The transportation of more than 80,000 troops totals 1.2 million. Two; it also includes watercraft. The cost of building a watercraft at Qingjiangpu Shipyard is about 105 taels of silver. According to the price of Qingjiang rice, it is 210 shi meters. There are 2,000 watercrafts, totaling 200,000 taels;"
"The silver for crossing the dam is one cent for each stone. It is sun-dried, raised in the sun, and poured into the water. The price is nine and eight buckets of silver for every one hundred stones. It is valued at 200,000 silver. It is used to ensure transportation, build canals, etc., not counting civilian labor, and the annual fee is at least 45 Even if it’s ten thousand liang, there’s still no disaster.”
"Even I can't calculate this account clearly. I can only calculate how much more the court will spend."
What Wang Guoguang clearly calculated was that the Ming court had to spend more than 2 million taels of silver because of the four million shi of grain brought to Beijing. What about the things that Wang Guoguang could not calculate clearly?
According to the consumption of one stone and three stones, four million stones will cost 12 million stones in freight. These consumptions need to be borne by the people of Ming Dynasty.
"Isn't this too much?" Wan Shihe asked dully, listening to this long list of losses.
Wang Guoguang took out an unfinished account and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. It was normal for Wang Guoguang not to be able to calculate the account of the canal. Even if the account was not clear at all, he just stood on the court's side and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. I simply calculated the account.
There are big heads along the way, and that is the big rats. This big rat is a gangster. This big rat is a corrupt official at the checkpoint along the way. This big rat is buying money for the road. This is the big rat.
Zhang Han frowned and said: "There are eighty or ninety thousand soldiers, breech horses and other items used in transporting soldiers. The poor people have to make a living. Once they lose their jobs, it is difficult to prevent them from becoming bandits. How can local officials maintain so many transporting soldiers? Livelihood? This is no small matter."
Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Han and felt that Zhang Han deserved to be the worst. He was scolded every day, and he was completely pretending to be confused.
Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Han and said: "That's why we have to clear away the land, clear out the encroachments, return the fields, and stabilize the people. Farming is also a living, and a workshop is also a living. You really deserve to be paid fifteen taels a year." Are all the grain and military pay given to the transporters sent to the transporters?"
"No, no, Zhang Shangshu doesn't know about our Ming Dynasty's problem of paying wages. Where does the money go? Zhang Shangshu, Ming people don't tell secrets."
The Minister of Rites exposed Zhang Han's disguise and revealed that he was still an official for powerful people.
Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Han sympathetically. He couldn't help him at all. He was making a lot of money, so why did he talk nonsense?
Zhang Han's face turned red, but he still argued: "Shipping travels across vast oceans, and there are always turbulences and unforeseen events. It's all about the details! Although the river transportation is circuitous, it is stable along the way and the funds are maintained evenly. From all provinces to Jingcang , Countless people can only rely on their own strength. To make a country prosperous and benefit its people, no one is good at planning! River transportation is circuitous and safe, while sea transportation is convenient and dangerous. To make a foolproof plan, river transportation is the only way!"
Maritime transportation must be carried out by sea. The sea is windy and risky. Although river transportation is inconvenient, how many people does it support along the way? There is no better government order in the world than river transportation. It will benefit the country and benefit the people, the court will benefit, and the people will also benefit. It is probably a good thing. Why should river transportation be abolished?
Translation and translation, millions of water workers, and food and clothing.
Wan Shihe rolled his sleeves and said: "Zhang Shangshu, this is the Wenhua Palace. Do you want to listen to what you are talking about? It sounds reasonable at first glance, but if you analyze it carefully, it is all hypocrisy and confusing."
"The imperial court just changed the transportation of grain to sea transportation. What you are saying is that the Ming Dynasty is going to backfill the Grand Canal! You have to pay for the backfilling of earth, stone and wood, as well as the civilian labor force!"
"Without water transportation, this canal is like without freight. Goods from the north to the south will no longer use this canal, right?"
"Isn't it just because there is no tax share for the canals that we are making such a noise? It would be good if five of the ten canal boats coming from Nanya carry grain."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe's powerful and terrifying combat power, and was a little unsure, thinking that he had recognized the wrong person.
Is this still Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites who is above three generations of Dharma? In just two years, Uncle Zong's fighting power has become so terrifying that Zhang Han was speechless.
Zhang Han was silent for a long time, he really tried his best.
Front row reminder, there is another chapter ahead. I wrote it yesterday and it was locked. It has just been released. This is the first chapter today. Emperor Wanli reprimanded Yu Maoxue. The original text: I ascended the throne in the year of Chong, and I carefully abide by the laws of my ancestors day and night. For fear of being lost, what I have done in recent years has been nothing more than upholding the old rules, repairing and destroying things, and not killing anyone for any wrongdoing. He has not followed even one or two of the ten laws of his ancestors. How can he be called careful? Yu Mao holds his position and speaks responsibilities without thinking about the government's efforts to govern. He is using the theory of being too powerful to buy people's hearts and corrupt the government. He will have to be bribed by corrupt officials and rich people to lobby for him. It seems that such a disorderly person should be governed according to the law. , I want to be an official, I will be dismissed from my post to serve the people, and I will never use it. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
(End of chapter)
