Chapter 693: Being confident and not afraid

"What else did Mr. Sihua say?" Zhu Cixuan knew that this was just the beginning, and his subconscious name changed again, as if he was back when he was running around behind Chen Xie's butt.

Qian Qianyi said: "Chen Ge's tribe also said that the reform system implemented by the late emperor and the deepening of the improvement by His Majesty were the most urgent matters of the Ming Dynasty. It would be a dereliction of duty for the ministers not to care about these. Why did they not care about the stagnation of customs and commercial tax revenue for two consecutive years? Whether the treasury is sufficient is related to the lifeline of the country. Did they forget the situation when there was no silver available during the late emperor's period? Or did they have other reasons?"

Zhu Cilang's expression suddenly became cold, and he stood up and said, "I understand, collusion between inside and outside, and enriching my personal pockets. The ICAC is to blame! Some slaves deserve to die!"

Qian Qianyi said again: "Chen Gemen also said that the world is in a great way. The Ming Dynasty became a mighty country. It was the hard power of the country, not a moral article. Today, the Ming Dynasty is carrying out a primary revolution of industrialization. Why is it called a primary revolution? The reason is very simple, and there is a lack of sufficient qualified industrial workers."

Zhu Cixuan sat down again, and his heart was led by an invisible rope. He subconsciously asked: "How do you say this?"

"In fact, the total tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty should have increased significantly in recent years. According to investigations, within the Ming Dynasty, more than 3,000 new factories and workshops were added every year, and nearly 20% of the annual increase was maintained. These newly added enterprises had to pay taxes. Putting aside tax revenue, these enterprises needed workers. In the past, qualified workers in the Ming Dynasty were entirely based on experience accumulation, and it took at least ten years for a worker to be considered barely qualified. Such training speed could not keep up with the development situation, which in turn restricted development. Therefore, Chen Gemen said that this was the primary stage of the industrial revolution. How can we reach the advanced stage? Only by vigorously promoting compulsory education. Educational workers can understand various drawings and data, can we be called qualified industrial workers. I am ashamed of many new words, and I don't know what it means. Your Majesty should ask the Lord of the Gemen in the future."

Qian Qianyi shut up in time. Just before Zhu Cilang's mind was confused. There were too many new contents, and Zhu Cilang couldn't understand it at all. How could he know that the industrialization of a country does not have enough sources of industrial workers. What kind of industrialization are you talking about? Without a perfect compulsory education system, where does industrialization come from? This thing cannot be done with money. If you have money to buy machinery and equipment, no one will use it. Your money is equivalent to throwing it into the water.

Zhu Cixuan suddenly felt that the feeling of relaxation after Chen Xie left was so stupid. When facing Chen Xie, he felt pressured. When Chen Xie was gone, he found that he had lost one of the biggest support.

After a long silence, Zhu Cilang stood up and said, "I will ask the Ministry of Personnel to handle the position of Liaodong Governor as soon as possible."

Qian Qianyi left. Zhu Cixuan returned to the harem. The first time was to ask Lao Zhou to call him. He looked at him like a knife and said, "How am I waiting for you?" Lao Zhou immediately knelt down and said, "Long live the rebirth of my servants and wait for me."

Zhu Cixuan squeezed out of his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll ask you why the revenue of the Commercial Taxation Department and the Shipping Department has not increased in two years, and there were still zero and wholes in the past. In the past two years, it's just some integers. The same is true on the books. Dog slave, how do you repay me?"

Lao Zhou collapsed directly to the ground. Since Zhu Cilang ascended the throne, the two pieces of fat people in the East Palace, the Commercial Taxation Department and the Shipping Department, filled the relationship between the upstarts in the East Palace and their interests. If they were just a little greedy, Zhu Cilang could tolerate it. The reality is that these people have a big appetite, increasing by 20% every year. What does this mean? The income is almost catching up with the inner treasury.

Despite trying his best to cover it up, the news in the palace was still spread quickly. Lao Zhou was deprived of all rights in the palace. For years of affection, he sent him to the imperial village outside the city to work as a small manager. Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, hanged himself at home. In just three days, more than 30 eunuchs in the palace changed to more than 30 people. The Jinyiwei Tiqi, who had not seen for many years, once again reminded people with the violent sound of horse hooves that they still exist.

The Jinyiwei rushed into the Censorate and arrested sixteen officials and internal supervisors in one go, Liaodong, Shandong, and Jiangnan. Then the Tiqi cavalry also went out everywhere and arrested people everywhere. After the Ming Dynasty official who had not seen this scene for many years, suddenly discovered this phenomenon, a confrontation between the monarch and minister broke out at the dynasty meeting every ten days.

The authority of the cabinet is getting heavier, and the cabinet will handle ordinary matters, and the imperial meeting will be settled if it is a little more difficult. The imperial meeting is somewhat inconsistent now, and under normal circumstances, there will be no discussion on government affairs. Only when the imperial meeting cannot solve the problem will it be placed at the imperial meeting for discussion.

Zhu Cilang was also used to the formalities of the dynasty meetings once every ten days. If you have something to say, you will just have six ministers who routinely report to the emperor and his ministers what happened in the past ten days and how they dealt with it. As for why they handled this, they were not responsible for explaining it, and they just needed to get the emperor's approval.

I thought today's dynasty meeting was still as usual. After the ministers worshiped the grand ceremony, Zhu Cixuan was about to say "If you have something to say, you will enter the daily life if you have nothing to do", an official came out of the minister and bowed and shouted: "My Majesty Li Yuzhi, the Jinyiwei Tiqi is everywhere, arresting more than 30 officials, but I don't know what's going on?"

Does Li Yuzhi really don’t know? It’s a minister who knows why Zhu Cixuan suddenly caught someone. The problem is that he cannot give in this matter. Once he makes concessions, the status and face of civil officials will be lost in the future. He just had the intention of returning to Longqing and Jingtai years. Why did he suddenly return to Taizu, Chengzu, and Shengzu in the court? When dealing with civil officials, arrest him and kill him if he wants to?

This cannot be tolerated!

Zhu Ciyang was shocked, but soon sneered: "Your dear, I have a question to ask you. The Jinyiwei was ordered to eliminate corruption and arrest corrupt officials. I wonder what is wrong?"

This sentence naturally cannot be said to Li Yuzhi. He was prepared for it. Not only was he not afraid, but he bowed: "It is appropriate to go back to Your Majesty, to eliminate corruption. However, before this, the Cabinet, the Six Ministry, and the Censorate knew nothing about it. I thought it was inappropriate to deal with it in this way. In the future, if there is any matter, you will follow this example, and why should you do it with the court officials? I ask Your Majesty to approve it, and this matter will not be an example. If there is any more, you should take action to arrest it after discussion through the Cabinet, the Six Ministry, and the Censorate."

At this time, all civil and military officials were unexpectedly neat. Apart from more than ten people, the others stood up. Six ministers from the cabinet stood in front and bowed to Zhu Cixuan neatly and shouted: "I'm asking your Majesty for your kindness."

The young emperor's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat on the dragon throne and sneered. At this time, those who did not stand up were basically Chen Xie's people. It is not difficult to see at this time that Chen Xie's influence in the court was already there. There were more than 200 civil and military ministers, but only more than ten people did not stand up, and 90% of them were military officials.

Zhu Cixuan looked at the ministers and finally recovered. He held back his anger and said, "I have a letter here, from Jiangnan. Come, I'll recite it to you all." At this time, the ministers stood up straight, and they all knew who wrote the letter. If they really wanted to read it in front of all civil and military officials, maybe something big would happen.

Zhou Yanru said loudly without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please hand over the letter to me and others for circulating it." After hearing this, Zhu Cilang nodded with a sneer, waved his hand, and looked fearless. Zhou Yanru took the letter and opened it, six cabinet ministers surrounded him neatly, and the others stood behind him consciously.

After Chen Xie wrote a set of formats, he immediately said: "I ask Your Majesty to temporarily suspend the corruption campaign, because this move will lead to the desolation of the internal affairs of the corps, which will be abolished for half a year or at least for three months. Your Majesty decided to do so and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to me. You can send someone to take over the Jiangnan Department. If Jiangnan does not cause chaos, the national treasury income will not be greatly lost. According to my opinion, if Your Majesty decides, all officials will inevitably oppose it. It is not to fight corruption, but only their own wealth and life. The corruption in the officialdom has accumulated for two hundred years. If you want to rectify it, one is the system, two is the severe punishment and law, and three is the efficient detection and investigation force. The fourth is to persevere. Many details are not explained in detail here. I will say one last. The effective supervision mechanism is the natural enemy of many ills in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom."

After a short sentence, a piece of letter paper was completed, but after reading it silently, the cabinet ministers passed it silently.

Although there was no word about what Chen Xie was going to do, everyone understood a meaning. Chen Xie was issuing the strongest warning, don’t make a fuss, I’m still there outside.

After a letter was passed around, the civil and military ministers were full of grief and anger, but no one raised any objections to the corruption. At this time, Zhu Cixuan held Chen Xie's letter in his hand and raised it up and said loudly: "If there is, Mr. Sihua didn't say anything in his heart, but asked someone to bring me something. He said, why did the Ming Dynasty's Department dare not go to Nanyang to collect taxes? It's very simple, they were guilty and could only shout a few words to vent their dissatisfaction. He also said that since the late emperor, the ICAC, the fiscal budget, the Consultative Conference and other improvements, and only a few provinces in the Ming Dynasty have been seriously implemented. Other places can either delay it or act like a person.

Let's go into a formality. Okay, today I will tell you the truth. Mr. Sihua has something to say. All the lands of the world are kings, and the Southeast Asian countries are not outside the world. However, since its establishment, the number of the treasury and the actual income of the second department of the Commercial Taxation and Shipbuilding has been greatly different from the actual income. I was shocked. I caught some Tianjia slaves to interrogate them and found out that my ministers colluded with the internal supervisor and took action. The amount of corruption that has been found at present is no less than two million yuan. This is just the beginning. Please tell me what should I do to satisfy you?"
