Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth grand plan
Cao Huachun knew that the emperor was establishing his authority and laid the tone for political reform three days later. When he saw him ask, he leaned forward and said, "Go back to the emperor, it is the governor of He. South, the governor of Shan. West, Zhang Ruitu, Jiang. West..."
"Xuan." Zhu Xu rubbed his face. There were already two batches in the first ones, so he would be able to handle it later.
The emperor wanted to find fault, but no one could escape. He scolded him and beat him one by one. The three people who came in were panic and kept "knowing the crime" and "death to death".
I was still driven out and wrote a "guarantee letter". If I couldn't write it well, I would put on a hat of a "humble official" and sent it home to farm.
This move is really awesome!
The emperor rebuked the governors of the Eighteen Provinces and accused them of being "unspoken officials" and having no political achievements, which caused quite a shock in the capital.
The public opinion personnel who had been arranged long ago were playing a role quickly, spreading the "incompetence" of these officials in the streets and alleys, which really put a lot of pressure on these officials who came to Beijing.
In the evening, Imperial Garden.
Zhu Xu walked in front, and Shen Yongmao and Sun Chengzong followed one after another.
Shen Yongmao knew the movement outside the palace and smiled and said, "The emperor's trick is so clever. I heard that Lord Bi is doing very well now..."
Zhu Xu smiled. It was useless to force the orders to subdue these literati. We must grasp their weaknesses, and "fame" is!
"How is the matter arranged?" Zhu Xu didn't care about these things, and asked slowly.
The two were stunned, and Shen Yongmao raised his hand knowingly and said, "Back to the emperor, Zuo Liangyu has almost returned to Yunnan, He Renlong, Dai Shan, Dorgon and others have all arranged to go south. The Military Intelligence Department has long been sorting out Annan's intelligence and formulating a suitable counter-rebellion plan. It is believed that it will not take long to send troops!"
Southeast Asia is basically all territories of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, there were various "Xuanwei Mansions", but gradually they all died in name only, and later they were gone. Therefore, there was no problem with the word "fighting rebellion".
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, kept thinking about it, and said, "Annan has a total population of more than three million. He has a melee of separatist forces, has backward combat power, no firearms, and is very narrow. Our army is all elite, has been through battle formations for a long time and has advanced along the water route. There is no reason not to be able to take it down. What I want to know is how much land Annan can have and how many people in disaster areas can be placed?"
This is what Shen Yongmao is doing. He said: "Go back to the emperor, I have estimated that the Zheng family in the north has more than 8,000 hectares of fertile land. If it can be completely occupied, hundreds of thousands of people can be transferred in a short period of time. With the cultivation, there will be no problem with five million people within three years. If it goes well, it should be able to bear to send another three million people."
The situation in Annan is very complicated. In addition, there are small countries such as Zheng, Nanruan, and Chameng that does not belong to Annan. Even so, there are other separatist forces of all sizes, with endless melee and constant public grievances. This also has a profound historical origin, involving hundreds of years of grievances between the Mo Li dynasties.
Zhu Xu naturally knew about these things. He paced and said with a sword: "When Emperor Taizong surrendered Annan, he was really a meritorious person and glorified his future generations. Xuanzong withdrew his troops, on the one hand, because he was a mediocre minister who ruined the country, and on the other hand, he had a wrong strategy for Annan. This time, I plan to give Annan, the status of the Dynasty and the New Year."
Sun Chengzong and Shin Yongmao were both stunned. Sun Chengzong said, "Emperor, does the 'status of North Korea' mean?"
Zhu Xu's lips raised and said, "All they are allowed to keep the king, and their government affairs are semi-independent. The court sends officials to the North Korea to supervise, be responsible for taxation, and implement the 'common defense treaty' at the same time. All military forces are controlled by our Ming Dynasty..."
Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao looked at each other, and Shen Yongmao frowned and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you just annex the enemy?"
If it is not completely annexed and all power is taken, how should we immigrate? Also, this approach of not moving forward or going forward is not in line with the consistent style of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xu smiled more and said, "We are not familiar with the place and need their help. If we want to restore the Xuanwei Mansions in the south, we should still use their power. Dai Shan and Dorgon are the main force in this matter. We should rely more on them. When it is time to delegate power, we should boldly give it to you..."
Zhu Xu's idea was to expel them and beat them, and the Ming army followed behind and waved the whip.
Shen Yongmao and Sun Chengzong did not agree with Zhu Xu's idea. The so-called "If you are not a race, your heart will be different." Neither Annan nor Jiannu could trust it. However, the emperor obviously had his own plans, and the two could only claim that they were.
Zhu Xu reached out and folded a cold plum. After a click, he said firmly: "I ordered Yang Sichang to go south and form a combat command on the Yunnan front line. Zuo Liangyu, Dai Shan and Dorgon all went in. I will order the Jinyiwei to send all the information to assist in the war!"
"Abide by the order!" Shen and Sun bowed.
Zhu Xu looked at the fresh plum blossom, thinking that he would give it to Li Jieyu later, and said, "The route to the south must be changed. First go to Tianjin and Wei, then to Ji and Nan, then follow the Grand Canal to Yingtian Prefecture, then to Hangzhou and Zhou, along the sea to Fu and Jian, and all the way to Yun and Nan!"
As he said this, Zhu Xu actually wanted to go to Taiwan and see it in his heart, but the time may not be enough.
The court officials did not want the emperor to leave the capital, nor did they want the emperor to mobilize troops to run around. However, the person in front of him was obviously very similar to Taizu Taizong, and they could not be bound by them. They looked at each other and said, "I obey the order."
In the palace, Zhu Xu decided to go south, and a group of governors in Wen Zhao Pavilion and ministers from the six ministries were still arguing.
There are many points of debate, including the "Jingzheng Tax Law", the "Jingzheng Field Acre System", the "Legacy Law", the "Twelve Rules of the Nobles", the "General Principles of the Imperial Palace", the "Commercial Law", the "Salt Law", etc.
Bi Ziyan has the confidence to adjust these things, and when formulating them, space is reserved, and a balance point can always be found. However, when it comes to the reform of local rights and responsibilities, a "unanimous opposition" will be formed, making Bi Ziyan seem to be fighting alone.
According to the design of Zhu Xu and Bi Ziyan and others, the Ministry of Revenue is no longer responsible for taxation, and has established a separate tax bureau, which belongs to the cabinet, and the Ministry of Personnel’s assessment and call of officials requires the review of the current, resume, property, etc. of these officials. The Ministry of Works is no longer responsible for building warships, establishing ship departments, building bridges and paving roads, etc., and is also preparing to build a national chamber of commerce to concentrate civil forces. The Ministry of Justice will only be responsible for criminal investigations in the future, not responsible for case trials, and set up criminal prison departments in various provinces and counties, which belong to the Ministry of Justice, and the local governments have both jurisdictions. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War have also been reduced. At the same time, the three officials in various places are directly under the Dali Temple, and the promotion can only be internal. The power of the local governor’s office has been expanded to investigate the governor. Any official below the governor can directly investigate the governor and the governor! The governor in the capital can even investigate all officials below the third rank, and the court allows the court to investigate the six ministers!
Not to mention the six ministries, the local people are frightened and extremely cautious. Under the premise of "not annoying the emperor", they all strive to achieve it, while trying to maintain power, while maintaining "safety".
In addition, Huitong Trading Bank was changed to a royal money house, responsible for minting coins, issuing bank notes, etc., the top ten granaries, responsible for the strategic grain reserves of the imperial court, and the powers of the Dongchang and Jiusi, etc., which is more complicated than rebuilding a country!
Bi Ziyan, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others have been busy coordinating these days. The court seems to be decentralizing power, but in fact it is refining power and responsibilities. The supervision and control of local governments have been differentiated to unprecedented times. If you want to convince everyone, you will not have any trouble at the political reform meeting, and the effort you spend is not a little bit!
This reform almost overthrew or aimed at overthrowing all the previous structures of the Ming Dynasty. Everything from economy to politics was changing, which was equivalent to overthrowing and reconstruction! Most people were still alive before the Apocalypse, so the reform was basically led by Emperor Zhu Xu, joined forces with the six ministers including Bi Ziyan, Fu Changzong, and other provincial governors, plus the "loyalty to the emperor" to promote it. These are supporters or vested interests of the new policy.
Although it is difficult, it is just "bargaining". Bi Ziyan and others are well aware of the "unwritten rules" here, and they constantly communicate, argue, and even threaten with these people, using various means to narrow the gap, hoping to reach an agreement as soon as possible and complete the prelude.
The senior leaders of the Ming Dynasty worked hard and tried their best to reform the plan. The atmosphere in the entire capital was busy and positive, but there were always people adding discordant voices to such an atmosphere.
Ruan Dacheng and Sun Zhixie walked out of Shendu Academy, and both looked indignant.
Sun Zhixiu had a bad head and a rat-eyed cursing: "I thought he was a little bit arrogant, but I didn't expect it to be just a corrupt person. After the Taoist song was about to stop, he would never show up again!"
The word "saves the only one" is Liu Zongzhou's unique understanding of the development of Confucianism. This time he went to Beijing, he wanted to talk about "saves the only one". He was originally a person with little ambitions for his career. Although Ruan Dacheng made a complaint last time, it was more because of his views on the court, and he did not mean to be an official in the court.
So when Ruan Dacheng and Sun Zhixie came back, Liu Zongzhou understood the real purpose of the two and drove them away without hesitation.
Ruan Dacheng has always been repeated, not angry at all for Liu Zongzhou's discooperation. He sneered while walking: "He has a way to do it if he refuses to do it! I don't believe that I will push down Huang Chengyuan, the emperor, the great figures in the court can remain indifferent and not allow me to restore my post!"
Ruan Dacheng competed with Wei Dazhong for the official department in the third year of Tianqi, but Zhao Nanxing and others favored Wei Dazhong. Ruan Dacheng was angry and sued Wei Zhongxian and took it away. This also annoyed the bosses of Donglin, such as Zhao Nanxing. Less than a month after he took office, he was forced to resign in shame and return home.
Later, Wei Zhongxian fell and Dong Linqiu settled the score later. He tried his best to protect himself. He had never had an official position in these years!
Sun Zhixie was dismissed from office during the inspection by the Ministry of Personnel and had always dreamed of reinstatement. This time, he hit it off with Ruan Dacheng and jointly sought development.
He was always unsuccessful and was extremely angry. He listened to Ruan Dacheng's transformation and said straight away, "Then what do you think? If you don't get rid of Huang Chengyuan, we will have no chance when the court discusses!"
Ruan Dacheng looked at the direction of the Governor's Office in a sinister way, and smiled disdainfully and said, "Wait, you will know tomorrow."
Sun Zhixie glanced at him suspiciously, thinking to go to the Ministry of Rites. If he could publish a post on his article, his influence would definitely be stronger than what they had connected everywhere!
