Chapter 301 Great Causes for A Thousand Abundant
Xu Jingchang held his fat and tender son, and the little guy grew up very fast. He couldn't hold him anymore in a few years.
"Do you little boy know? Someone has invested in you!"
Of course Xu Xianzhong couldn't understand this, he just grinned.
And the child's smile is the most lethal, and Xu Jingchang quickly made up his mind to let this kid take more, which is nothing great.
But since it is your own business, you cannot let your son suffer losses.
Xu Jingchang was very straightforward. He then issued a decree and promoted it through the newspaper, which was about discovering a gold mine from Luzon... This news was too timely, and it was equivalent to giving a shot of a heart-boosting injection to the shaky gold mine investment.
If Japan had two defeats to the Yuan Dynasty, it was fearful and I didn't know what the result was... Luzon had nothing to say.
At their level, just transfer a few ships from the eunuch of Sanbao to solve the problem.
Investment is about trying to win a hope. As long as you firmly believe that tomorrow will be better and there are constant stories to tell, you will not collapse.
Xu Jingchang carried out another outrageous operation... He packaged the gold investment business with other Ming Dynasty bonds and sent it to Annan.
Such a good fortune business will naturally have to celebrate with the world and have fun with the whole country. Even if it is a vassal state, it will be favored by the Ming Dynasty. Let us join hands and move towards a rich and fertile land full of gold...
Seeing Xu Jingchang's operation, Xia Yuanji was speechless.
"I'm so stupid, really! I just thought that this kid would be more restrained and talk about morality after becoming a father. I only now know that someone is born with an immoral thing. Fortunately, he didn't get married at the beginning, otherwise I would have been sold by him."
Xia Yuanji lamented in his heart, but he had to admire that the person surnamed Xu was really powerful. He was suppressed by a thunder that was about to explode.
This skill is really no one to look at the court.
Xia Yuanji collected the case file at hand and came to find Xu Jingchang.
"Duke Dingguo, that monk Wuyu is negotiating with all parties. One-third of them have accepted interest adjustments and are willing to give up dividends, just to get back the principal... The rest are also talking about it."
Xu Jingchang nodded, "It seems that things are getting better."
Xia Yuanji nodded, raised his head and sighed bitterly, "I finally escaped another disaster. Duke Ding, it's not to hide it. I really want to resign from my office. Now I am like a poor person carrying a bucket of water. There are fire candles everywhere. Once it is burned, it will go straight to the sky. My little water is not enough."
Xia Yuanji frequently complained, and Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Shangshu Xia, do you mean to add a few people to the Ministry of Revenue?"
Xia Yuanji said: "This is also what Your Majesty agrees. The Ministry of Revenue needs at least four ministers, one in charge of household registration, one in charge of business tax, one in charge of tuition and other overview of the overall situation."
Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Finance…
Xu Jingchang nodded with a smile, "I agree completely. When I look back, I will talk to Shangshu Jian, and then hand the list to Your Majesty as soon as possible. We will decide... As for the officials below, should I choose from the imperial examination or what to do?"
Xu Jingchang's pleasure simply shocked Lao Xia, "Don't you restrain me, don't delay the shirk responsibility?"
Xu Jingchang snorted: "If you think of me this way, then I can do it as you wish."
Xia Yuanji waved his hand in a hurry, but he had no problem with tossing himself.
After pondering for a while, Xia Yuanji said, "Duke Ding, you see, this is the case. Those who have been trashed by the Ministry of Revenue are absolutely not allowed by relying on the imperial examination alone. I plan to seek talent from all directions and complete the reform of the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?" Xu Jingchang said curiously.
Xia Yuanji introduced: "The so-called seeking talents from all directions is the imperial examination. The doctor under the minister is in charge of the imperial examination, and the imperial examination talents are inseparable from the imperial examination talents."
Xu Jingchang nodded, "That's right, after all, they are easy to control, and you can't control the more powerful ones."
Xia Yuanji rolled his eyes to Xu Jingchang, "I don't have the same knowledge as you."
Then he said: "The second one is Tai students, especially Tai students in Jiangxi."
Xu Jingchang said: "Is it the Tai students who brought him away by His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yes, I found that they had great courage to thoroughly investigate the local area and deal with large households. The Ministry of Revenue urgently needed such talents. Not only Jiangxi, but also other provinces, will also be used."
Xu Jingchang agreed, "Shangshu Xia is determined, this is a good move."
Natsuhara Yoshi said: "The next thing is to seek talent from the market."
“On the market?”
"Yes, no matter what kind of education or any other rank can pass the assessment and have a skill, they will be fully transferred to the Ministry of Revenue... They are responsible for tax collection and checking tax evasion and other matters."
Xu Jingchang also smiled and said, "Not bad."
"As for the last one... I want to order troops!"
"Military? Doesn't the Ministry of Revenue have tax officials?"
"It's not a taxpayer, but a kind of person who has military experience, can enforce orders and acts decisively... When I was in Peiping, I relied on the soldiers in the army to deal with every pass... They are not like officials, they are just doing things and act at the right time, which is very useful."
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly and thought to himself that Xia Yuanji was quite accurate in seeing it.
Except for a few imperial examinations and Jinshi, who are considered as the most famous scholars, the remaining three categories are all capable and capable. Especially the soldiers in the army, this is a trick.
Because of martial arts, the generals are no longer a rude man. It is entirely possible to let them handle some government affairs.
Moreover, their military background makes these people have strong execution ability and high obedience, and are valuable talents.
The only problem is that the large-scale introduction of these talents who are not talented will definitely anger the officials of the dynasty.
"Shangshu Xia, are you asking me to help you offend people!" Xu Jingchang sighed.
Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "National affairs are the most important, please work harder for Duke Dingguo!"
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Okay, I'll go and coordinate with Shangshu Jian... In fact, it's not difficult to convince him, even if you want to assign four Shangshu to the Ministry of Personnel!"
Xia Yuanji's eyes were instantly widened, "Duke Dingguo, you can't indulge him. Now there are only four senators under the Tongzheng Department. You can't let the Ministry of Personnel take over the leader!"
"What about your Ministry of Revenue?" Xu Jingchang said lightly.
Xia Yuanji said: "Ministry of Revenue? I will do whatever you want. I will definitely follow my orders. You just need to give me a few more ministers."
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes directly and said, "Don't pretend to be a grandson to me." I'm not a fool. Even if I recommend someone, as long as I sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I have to serve the interests of the Ministry of Revenue. This is impossible.
However, Xia Yuanji was also a little right... The Ministry of Revenue is a very professional yamen. If you add a few ministers, each of them will be responsible for one, which will really not shake the status of Tongzhengsi.
But if the Ministry of Personnel grows bigger, the result will be different.
"Old Xia, the matter is settled, I'll go and arrange it for you."
Xu Jingchang agreed, but no one expected that a news that turned around would make the current dynasty doom.
"Duke Ding, according to the urgent report from Jiangxi, the Crown Prince went to Poyang Lake." Fang Bin's face was sad... Zhu Gaochi went to Poyang Lake and sailed on the lake. What's so great about it?
But the next sentence immediately scared everyone to death.
"Your Highness the Prince is using the excuse of traveling to the lake to persuade the thieves in Poyang Lake!"
"What!"
Huang Guan stood up in surprise.
Lu Zhen, Liu Guan, Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu... all widened their eyes.
Can't we make such jokes?
Although the thiefs in Poyang Lake are not as stubborn as Dongting Lake, their history is far better than that of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he sent people to fight. The results were achieved, but they could never be eradicated.
It has been going on to this day, and I dare not say it is a cancer, but also a stubborn athlete's foot, which cannot be cured at any time.
"How could Your Highness the Crown Prince take risks? Isn't this a confusion? What do those officials do? Don't you know that your highness respects his identity? Who can afford it if there is a mistake?" Huang Guan asked angrily.
Fang Bin hesitated for a little while and snorted: "Look, Your Highness the Crown Prince just wants to learn from a certain top scholar, go to Mount Tai, surrender the bandits, and completely quell the bandits in Jiangxi... But the bandits are different from the water bandits, and the top scholar Enke is also different from His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Fang Bin scolded Zuo Yutian.
The governance of Shandong is true and sets an example for the world.
There are bandits of Mount Tai in Shandong, and there are also bandits of rivers in Poyang Lake.
It is understandable that Zhu Gaochi wanted to achieve his achievements in one battle.
But the problem is that it is so dangerous, it is indeed a bit over.
"Duke Ding, hurry up and write a document on Jiangxi, so that local officials will bring His Highness back no matter what," Lu Zhen said angrily.
Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji also mean this, "Why don't you send the Jinyiwei here? Or...Duke Dingguo, do you go there in person?"
Xu Jingchang said that he was not feeling tired, but that he would take five days to go there. When he arrived in Jiangxi, he would have to contact Zhu Gaochi... Otherwise, he would go there rashly, what if Zhu Gaochi was hurt?
Just as everyone was hesitating, Zhu Di suddenly arrived.
"No one of you should go!"
With a word from the emperor, all the messy ministers became honest. Everyone lowered their eyebrows and dared not say much.
Zhu Di went straight to the middle and sat down.
He looked up at everyone, and a very disagreeable smile appeared on his face.
"I am very happy, really! The boss is promising and dares to take risks with his own life. This is the demeanor of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty. I have not read the wrong person. OK, very good!"
Zhu Di said: "Everyone is here, waiting for the prince to return triumphantly. I want to celebrate his merits personally. You don't need to worry. The boss has the care of Bai Ling. It's okay, it's okay!"
To be continued...
