Chapter 482 Candidates
Chapter 482: Selection
The doctor of the Ministry of Revenue Industry and Commerce Department is a fifth-rank official, and is at the same level as the supervisor of the Provincial Department of Industry and Commerce. However, the rights are different. The competition between the capital is fierce on the issue of this candidate. Why do you say that? When Zhu Youjian's determination is determined, this matter cannot be changed. So who will do this position is very important. The main responsibility of the doctor of the Industrial and Commercial Department is to be responsible for the collection and transfer of industrial and commercial taxes in the world, and is a department that specializes in dealing with money. The head of such a department first requires integrity, and secondly, others.
However, it was too difficult for the Ming Dynasty to find a clean official. Zhu Youjian looked around and unexpectedly found that there was no one available in his hand. He originally planned to let Lu Xiangsheng take charge of this. The problem was that Lu Xiangsheng's status was that he had to be the Minister of Revenue. The emperor could not be demoted by others at will. After searching around, he couldn't find it. Zhu Youjian returned to the harem and was worried about this matter.
After hearing about this, Empress Zhou said, "Why don't you ask Sihua what she meant?"
Zhu Youjian said it was right, he would not bother the two masters in one matter. He did this matter and asked him what he meant.
Mayday in Nanjing is so terrible! It’s stuffy and humid, and water can seep on the floor.
The floor of Chen Xie's residence was specially treated. The foundation was very high, and lime was laid below to absorb moisture. In this way, after the plum rain began, the floor always felt a little wet. The key was still stuffy, and I didn't want to move when I stayed at home. I was determined to be shirtless, but it was not very good-looking. I could only bear it.
Looking at Zhu Meiyu's clothes are still very formal even though she is wearing lightweight clothes, Chen Xie feels uncomfortable for her. In fact, Chen Xie wants to be lazy. There are so many problems, and there are quite a lot of work waiting for him to make a decision. He can only hold on to it. After May and June, there will be only heat left, which will be better. No one will feel moldy.
"What are you doing in front of this weather?" Chen Xie stood up with a heartache and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. The young wife asked someone to bring sour plum soup and said, "I can't do this. I have to make it. I have to send it to you." Chen Xie took a sip and dries it. He put down the bowl and was cold all over. He burped and said, "It tastes good, but don't work too hard. There are ice cubes in the study. I can bear it. I'm not that delicate. When June is in, you go to the field to take a look. People are afraid that the weather is not hot enough. The crops in the field are not growing well. After June and a half, they have to harvest and plant them. That's what it means to be hard."
"I asked, there is a lot of rain this year." Zhu Mei put away the bowl, smiled and picked up the fan to fan Chen Xie. She didn't have the airs of a princess, just thinking about helping Chen Xie. There was no one else in the family, and Chen Xie didn't take it back. She knew that. She was busy with business now, and Chen Xie rarely went out, so it was hard to say in the future.
"Yes, there is not much rain in the south of the Yangtze River. In provinces such as Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Jiangbei, Zhili, and Ningxia, the drought is still very serious. Your Majesty is urging me to speed up the action, and the food for relief is a bit tight." These are the disasters in several provinces. There are only thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and half of the territory is causing drought. No wonder Zhu Youjian had no good way to make civil war in history.
"Why, my husband is short of money and buys food?" Zhu Mai also felt nervous. This was related to the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Xie shook his head and said, "There is no shortage of silver. The key is the transportation problem. The roads in Shandong are good. When you enter Henan, the roads are also being repaired. It is hard to say other places. Moreover, this land transportation is very troublesome. People eat horses and chew along the way, and the consumption is also very large. The best way is to raise food on the spot. Unfortunately, the food prices are sky-high in places where disasters are caused."
Chen Xie just simply said that it was not only difficult to transport, but also the problem of corruption. This problem was even more serious. Chen Xie emphasized in his memorial to Zhu Youjian that things did not change much. Shandong, Henan, northern Huguang, Jiangbei are a little better, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia, and southern northern Zhili, which is not something Chen Xie could manage. If 30% of the relief grains in these provinces could enter the mouths of the victims, Chen Xie had to hide and laugh. However, on this issue, Chen Xie could not make excessive mistakes. On the issue of commercial tax, he had already had a very rigid relationship with the literati class.
The reason why the new commercial tax system can be introduced is still very complicated. One is the emperor's determination, the other is Chen Xie's strength, and the private coercion and inducement method is at work, coupled with the temptation of the congressmen. This is a very complicated issue. For example, there is a stack of reports on Chen Xie's desk, which are all about: name, xx, age, xx, and Jinshi in xx, etc. The origin of these information is relatively dark, and Chen Xie dared not see it for Zhu Mo, so he quickly covered it.
Why do you say that these information are dark? Just take a closer look. The content is not the kind that is published to the public, such as xx has an outdoor room, has a few children, and when have you seen it? For example, xx likes Longyang and has a broken sleeve with xx. For example, xx receives bribes at a certain position, and takes away the land. And it is even more sinister, such as when xx has an affair with his concubine's mother. In short, it is all about some private information, which is very fatal to the public. You must know that these people are all officials. If it weren't for officials, these **s would not be lethal to others.
Many officials, due to similar information, have made compromises and concessions on many issues, and few have caused trouble for Chen Xie. If you want to do such a thing, Chen Xie will not take the blame. They are all done by the people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Chen Xie just let the shadow reveal this information to them at a suitable opportunity.
The factory guards in Jiangnan shouldered a responsibility, that is, to cooperate with Chen Xie's industrial and commercial plan. At this time, someone caused trouble for the emperor, and he would not be polite at all. If Chen Xie had not restrained the factory guards from making trouble, many officials would be in trouble.
Since Zhu Meiyu came, Chen Xie simply put down his work and accompanied her to walk in the corridor of the garden, talking about gossip. This little girl is also very pitiful. Not to mention getting married at such a young age, Chen Xie has been busy for several months. That is, after coming to Jiangnan, the two have been together for a longer time. This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. It is often half a month to go from one place to another. For example, if Chen Xie goes from Jiangnan to the capital, if he walks through the canal, he will walk for a month or slower, it will not be too much. Without modern transportation tools such as cars, trains, and planes, it is very painful to go out. This is why many people in the Ming Dynasty went to a nearby town at the farthest place in their lives. One is because the system established by Zhu Yuanzhang restricted the movement of the people, and the other is that the transportation problem is too bad.
After walking around the garden, the matter came to me. The palace maid sent a letter from the capital, and saw that the date was from the capital that came out ten days ago. After opening it, Chen Xie handed it to Zhu Mai and said, "Your Majesty is so easy to save trouble. The doctor of the Ministry of Revenue Industry and Commerce Department, please recommend it."
Of course, Zhu Mai wanted to speak for the emperor, and smiled and whispered: "This is the father who trusts his husband."
Chen Xie still takes this issue seriously. Who is the right thing to do? Chen Xie thought about it and unexpectedly found that there is really someone who is more suitable. Who is this person? Shi Kefa! Although the emperor issued an imperial edict, he must never be used. But Chen Xie knew very well that as long as he asked Zhu Youjian, this matter would be accomplished. If you want to do this job that manages money or the doctor in the Industrial and Commercial Department, Chen Xie thought that Shi Kefa was the most suitable.
So Chen Xie returned to the study, served Zhu Mo, and said to Zhu Mo: "Don't you want to help me? I'll read it, you can write it."
After Shi Kefa was dismissed from office, he returned to his hometown and changed from an official to a civilian, and his privileges were gone. The treatment immediately changed a lot, especially when Chen Xie was in power in Jiangnan, local officials avoided it. The parents at home were fine, but the tribe members were different, and he felt that he had implicated everyone. The land he had donated in the past has to continue to pay taxes.
This incident has really hit Shi Kefa, and he has a good taste of the warmth and coldness of human nature. Fortunately, Shi Kefa's family is a big family, so don't make plans for the rice and the rice. If you have a guarantee of life, just be a little depressed. At most, don't go out and study at home with peace of mind. Even so, when he goes out for a walk on weekdays, someone will point fingers.
Ordinary people, whoever knows your righteousness knows that you are not doing well now. Shi Kefa is very open-minded about this issue, but the complaints from his family are also quite annoying. On this day, he was bored at home, so Shi Kefa simply went out to Kaifeng for a walk. In this hot day, from Xiangfu to Kaifeng, a donkey was on the road alone. If it were half a year ago, it was very dangerous. Maybe someone would come out of the forest and take a knife to make some human char siu buns and other livelihoods.
However, after Shi Kefa came back, he found that the entire hometown in Henan was said to be thieves, and there were many fewer people. Along the way, you should know that Xiangfu Town is on the edge of Kaifeng City, and there were not many pedestrians. After walking for an hour, he finally saw pedestrians on the official road, wearing dark green costumes and strange clothes, and followed behind. Shi Kefa frowned when he saw it. When talking about the dress of Dengzhou Camp, this is the only one. When Li Zicheng opened the cloister, Shi Kefa's parents hid in Kaifeng City. His family came from Zu Yin, who had a hereditary family. Later, after Chen Xie rescued Kaifeng, his family returned, and there were many fewer people in the town. Shi Kefa's view was caused by the thief, and he did not mean to complain about Chen Xie's immigration.
This was a small team of soldiers, riding horses and escorting some four-wheeled carriages, walking on the flat road. The officer on the horse's back took the initiative to approach Shi Kefa and said, "Sir, this road is not peaceful, so you should not go on the road alone in the future."
Shi Kefa smiled and said, "This hero, where are you from?" Seeing that he was dressed as a scholar, the officer said politely: "I went to Xingyang and escorted some food. I have not arrived in Kaifeng yet, and I have received a military order. I have to go there quickly. The food for relief in Shanxi is about to be cut off. There are too many corrupt officials and not enough to fill in." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
