Great court meeting.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair and listened to the courtiers below, saying nothing.
After the censors finished their report, Yu Qian reported on the implementation of the national policy of reforming the land and returning it to the countryside.
The gathering place of the original Jianzhou Sanwei has been initially completed, but the progress of the Haixi tribe, Mao Lian tribe and other tribes is slightly slower due to the low degree of Chineseization.
The new territory of Korea was unified and merged into Pingliao Prefecture, and Anping County was established.
In Anping County, there is a basis for group living, so the progress is faster than that of other departments in Haixi.
Li Xian also reported to Zhu Jianshen at the court meeting the cabinet's drought relief regulations in Henan.
From summer to autumn, there is no rain in Qinyang Prefecture, Henan Province, and more than 500,000 people have no food for next year.
The cabinet voted to open the three grain depots, and then recommended that the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate 100,000 taels to purchase grain in the Jiangnan Water Town and transport it to Qinyang Prefecture. The supervisory censor had arrived in Qinyang Prefecture and supervised the government's disaster relief efforts.
It doesn't take a day or night to change the situation, but the people's affairs are a big deal.
Therefore, Zhu Jianshen was very concerned about this.
Under the official document of the draft, it was already approved by the emperor as "a matter of livelihood for the people and a major matter of the country."
After listening to Li Xian's words, he said, "Is it enough to open three local grain depots in Henan with 100,000 silver?"
"Your Majesty, each of these three grain depots provides a year's ration for more than 100,000 people. The Ministry of Household Affairs allocates money to purchase rice, which is just to replenish it." Li Xian said quickly.
"We need to make more preparations for everything. After the three grain depots are released at the end of this year, all governments in Henan must raise food to replenish these three grain depots as early as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In fact, this kind of grain depot will be equivalent to the national grain reserve in later generations.
Almost every government has one to three to meet unexpected needs. Of course, the existence of this kind of grain depot seems to be to take it from the people and use it for the people.
But otherwise, the opening of these grain depots requires strict systems. They are both grain reserves and military rations.
The main tax in Ming Dynasty was food tax.
Grain tax accounted for about 80% of the national tax revenue during the Hongwu period, but in subsequent developments, this proportion has been declining.
Because treasure banknotes have almost become a thing of the past, the demand for silver has increased, so people have acquiesced in the use of silver money to replace food.
The pinnacle of agricultural civilization is food.
In Tongzhou next to the capital.
It is one of the largest official warehouses in the Ming Dynasty and the largest official warehouse in the north.
What he supplies is the daily needs of the entire capital and military rations for the northern war.
The current grain storage in Tongzhou Granary can feed the people in the entire north for a year.
"There is nothing trivial about the people's affairs. Disaster relief matters are related to the people's livelihood and the country. Li Fuchen, you have to sort out everything about the disaster relief matters. There must not be any black sheep in it."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel should also pay more attention and follow up. After the disaster relief work, I will send Jin Yiwei to the disaster area. If we find out that officials are not fulfilling their responsibilities and officials are not doing their best, Li Fuchen will be held accountable first. Those involved will be severely punished. .”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Yu Qian, and then said: "Yu Taibao, after the disaster, it is feasible to be exempted from taxes and corvee for three years."
"Your Majesty is kind and can do it."
After hearing this, the officials were extremely surprised.
The emperor who is approaching the court does not look like a child at all. Not even the Supreme Emperor has such sophisticated means of dealing with things.
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen lowered her head and did not dare to raise it.
I wonder, is Xu Youzhen a soft egg?
Don't you dare to make trouble?
The same goes for Li Xian, who would look back at Xu Youzhen from time to time.
If you don't say anything, we will leave the court and get off work.
Zhu Jianshen coughed twice and wanted to remind Xu Youzhen, but Xu Youzhen didn't seem to hear it and still lowered his head and looked at his shoes.
Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but feel dumb. After going to North Korea, has he become less courageous?
Li Xian looked at Xu Youzhen and said softly: "Censor of Xudu, why don't you talk about the affairs of Korea in the court?"
After Xu Youzhen listened to Li Xian's words, she raised her head and glanced at Li Xian, and then he said slowly: "Li Fuchen, there are envoy records on the Korean affairs. Haven't you read it a long time ago?"
Li Xian nodded: "Don't you want to say something during the meeting today?"
"I just returned to the capital, and I really don't know what to say. Li Fuchen, tell me, what should I say?"
Li Xian, who had always been calm, also looked a little flustered.
What's going on? Xu Youzhen has changed.
But how is it possible.
To put it bluntly, a dog will never change from eating daddy. To put it nicely, a country can be changed easily, but its nature is hard to change. How could Xu Youzhen change after a trip to North Korea?
After a brief moment of panic, Li Xian's expression immediately returned to normal and he smiled: "Nothing else, I just feel that there is no voice of Xu Du Yushi in the court, so I am somewhat unaccustomed to it."
After finishing speaking, Li Xian turned around and waited for Zhang Bao to shout to retreat.
And Zhang Bao also kept looking at Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Jianshen's face was gloomy. He did not give instructions, and Zhang Bao did not dare to call for resignation.
In the palace, it calmed down.
Very weird.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony, known as No. 2 Caishikou in Beijing, actually became quiet. BIquGe.biz
The officials waited for Zhang Bao to call to retreat.
Zhang Bao waited for Zhu Jianshen to wink at him.
But Zhu Jianshen was waiting for Xu Youzhen to fire...
In this weird cycle, a censor finally couldn't stand the pressure and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Yu Qian, Li Xian, Shang Ren, Wang Wen and other cabinet ministers."
The censor who spoke was named Liu Qing, a sixth-grade green-robed official. When he came up, he impeached all the ministers in the cabinet. When His Majesty was not personally in charge of the government, many officials who did not know anything felt that Liu Qing had made a mistake. Crazy.
It’s crazy to want to be remembered in history.
Some officials pulled up their sleeves calmly. When this guy was about to hit his head against the golden pillar later, he had to hold him back.
He cannot be allowed to gain fame, but His Majesty's reputation cannot be ruined.
Zhu Jianshen did not know Liu Qing, but only knew that he had a good relationship with Xu Youzhen.
He looked at Xu Youzhen, who was still lowering his head, and knew that this was a play arranged by Xu Youzhen.
And Li Xian kept smiling bitterly in his heart, this Xu Youzhen really has a way, he doesn't want to let himself lead him by the nose, and even after he gets things done, he still disgusts me.
"Do you know that the person you are impeaching is my teacher, the minister of the auxiliary country of Ming Dynasty?"
"I know, but I cannot see these important ministers of the country uniting to deceive Your Majesty."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he immediately stood up, looked at the ministers in the front row, and then asked slowly: "How did they deceive me?"
Chen Ying and Zhu Shou exchanged a look.
Chen Ying's eyes seemed to say, just look, I knew that when Xu Youzhen came back, Prince Ning's matter would definitely be brought up.
But Zhu Shou's eyes said, you are so fucking awesome.
"Ningwang Fan, oppressed the people and occupied fertile land. The deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate petitioned for impeachment, but was blocked by the cabinet ministers. He could not go straight to heaven. The ministers wanted to sue them. They were afraid of the feudal town and did not care about the people." Liu Qing said loudly.
In fact, most of the officials knew about it.
But after listening, there was an uproar.
It's like I just found out.
"Why Ning Fan invaded farmland and oppressed the people? I don't know about such unscrupulous things. If I knew about it, I would not sit back and watch Yu Qian and others deceive Your Majesty. I must report to Your Majesty and severely punish Prince Ning. Give the people an explanation."
"Yes, yes, they kept it secret from us. Fortunately, Liu Yushi dared to speak up, otherwise I wouldn't know now."
"What are you talking about... Prince Ning beat the people, occupied the fields, robbed good women, deposed the vassal, and deposed the king."
The officials' voices were not quiet.
But a louder voice appeared.
"Liu Yushi, you, what you said is true." Xu Youzhen spoke, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his eyes were as wide as bells.
"Censor of Xudu, what I said is all true. You don't know, this matter has been going on for a long time."
Zhu Jianshen looked at the angry courtiers under the jade steps, and a question arose in his heart. Didn't you team up to deceive me? Why, I feel, it was me, Yu Qian and others who teamed up to deceive you.
These scholars. Sure enough, thumbs up.
