Chapter 157 Millions of water workers depend on food and clothing
The first thing Yu Mao learned was to abolish the examination and become a method. This process is indeed somewhat incomplete. When it was first implemented, it was indeed Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo and Yang Bo met and finally implemented it.
Now let’s discuss it. In fact, everyone is used to it.
The second thing in Yu Mao’s theory is to kiss [jiǎnè]. Fortunately, the little emperor has read a lot of books and knows what these two words mean. Jian’e means being upright and outspoken. Yu Mao’s theory : Honest ministers are often dismissed and denounced, and those who dare to speak out are moved to other places, and no one is allowed to speak. How can this be done?
We should open up the channels of speech and get close to the upright and outspoken ministers.
The second thing happened, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but look at Hai Rui.
Hai Rui dared to name Emperor Jiajing, and Yu Maoxue didn't even dare to name and call Zhang Juzheng a traitorous minister. He only dared to be weird.
"Hai Zongxian, Yu Mao's theory is that there is no integrity in the court, and it is really weird to say that I am not close to Jian'e." Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui and said with a smile.
How come there is no bone and righteousness? As soon as Hai Rui returned to Beijing, even the kneeling ceremony of the Quanjin, Quanchu, and Quanzhe guild halls was abolished. What is this if not bone and righteousness?
Hai Rui said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, I ask myself, I am a bit stubborn, but I also feel that I am still quite upright. Did Yu Maoxue give any direct advice in the memorial? I asked more clearly, did anyone name anyone in the memorial? Impeach someone or something?”
"If not, you are using the power of public opinion to coerce the imperial decree. Your Majesty is a treacherous and evil person, and you have to be on guard."
Hai Rui did not say any clichés and directly gave the standard. Either you put someone If someone brought something up, he would either shut up and say that His Majesty does not get close to upright and outspoken ministers. Hou Yuzhao was the first to refuse!
How shameless Hou Yu Zhao is. He said that His Majesty would be invited to preside over the court meeting. His Majesty has to go to court on the third day of every month to preside over the court meeting. This is not getting close to the noble ministers, so what is closeness!
The third thing in this memorial written by Yu Maoxue is to be careful about the name of the utensils. Only the utensils and names cannot be faked. It is the king's job. His majesty is too fond of some ministers, and he often changes his official position to the first rank. However, the real sage Wang Yangming still refused to offer sacrifices to Confucius Temple. This is wrong.
Furthermore, Yu Maoxue believed that Yang Bo should not be given a posthumous title, let alone the Duke of Cheng Guo, Zhu Xizhong, the posthumous title of King Dingxiang.
Giving the posthumous title to King Zhu Xizhong was a decision made by Tishuai Zhu Xixiao to ask for his brother's orders, drafted by the Ministry of Rites, and approved by the court. However, in the eyes of Kechen, this was Zhang Juzheng trying to please the hereditary nobles. .
How to do it?
From now on, when a minister dies at home, the governor or inspector of the place where he is located must check that he has no faults in his life and that he is praised by public opinion as a good person. , I have a public opinion and it is clear that the Lord's kindness is not excessive.
That is to say, Yang Bo died of illness at home. The governor of Shanxi inspected the merits and demerits of his life. The most important thing is that public opinion praises the virtuous. Only when public opinion says virtuous can he be given a posthumous title. This is public opinion. How can one be given a posthumous title if public opinion does not praise him as a worthy person? Isn’t this the Lord’s grace overflowing?
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "Da Sikou, please read the third thing about the memorial."
Zhang Juzheng handed Yu Maoxue's memorial to Wang Chonggu. Wang Chong saw the third thing and frowned more and more, and then he passed the memorial down.
Zhu Yijun then asked: "Yu Mao's theory told me to be careful about my reputation. What he meant was that my kindness was too excessive. Look, he said that the minister died of illness at home, and he should be praised by public opinion. What should I do? Do you think he is talking about Yang Dazai? "
Only Yang Bo died of illness at home in Chaozhong, and the old dog Xu Jie is still alive and well.
“He farted!” Wang Chonggu said angrily: “Your Majesty, the villain’s slander cannot be trusted! The court has already concluded the merits and demerits of Dazai, is it his turn to talk nonsense?”
If Yang Bo couldn't even get a posthumous title and a posthumous name, Wang Chonggu would never even think about it. Yu Maoxue's third thing was just talking about Yang Bo.
The ministers of vitality and vitality of the DPRK are the second-level ministers. There are only a few of them, the six ministers, the left and right general constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the first and second assistants of the cabinet. The ones who have recently become officials are: Yang Bo and Lu Shusheng , Wang Zhigao and Zhu Heng, only Yang Bo is gone. Who is Yang Bo talking about? !
"The great Sikou has disgraced the gentlemen." Feng Bao reminded Wang Chonggu to pay attention to his manners. In the solemn and solemn place of the Wenhua Hall, how could he say the word "fart" in a dirty word?
The fourth thing that Yu Mao learned is to refrain from making mistakes, that is, do not establish a certain method with a certain word and then abandon it with a certain word tomorrow. We must follow the ancestral law, and we must follow the law for three generations. In fact, we are talking about the method of obscuring the name list. This method of obscuring the name list ignores human feelings. It is simply a crazy and rebellious person who has no king and no father. The desperate plan.
He said: The matters listed in the regulations are difficult to deal with, so you must consult the local department, pay attention to them, and then make decisions after they are agreed. Do not tolerate ambiguity to make changes.
Obviously, Zhang Han, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has been firmly opposed to the method of blinding names on draft lists and filling in names in base books. This promotion and dismissal is purely based on passing the test. There is no room for it and it is not mentioned at all. Although the officials were determined to object, Zhang Juzheng still passed the court resolution forcefully, without giving the officials any face.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Han without questioning him. None of the ministers at the Wenhua Palace was a thousand-year-old fox. Everyone could tell at a glance what he was talking about.
The last thing is to guard against slander. It is said that it is recently seen that the Ministry of War has mentioned the merits of overturning the frontier. It is often the first cabinet minister to praise the governor, but it is still necessary to describe the examples of planning and propaganda.
Zhu Yijun looked at Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked with a smile: "Da Sima, during the Jiajing and Longqing years, can you inscribe meritorious services?"
"Oh." Tan Lun sighed heavily. , the last years of Jiajing and the early years of Longqing, how can there be any merits to be mentioned? It wasn't until the Wanli period that we continued to win battles and achieve success on the border? The Ministry of War was just a little happy. All the previous official documents were about the defeat here and the death of the general soldier there.
There is still some improvement in the leveling of Japan, and we can celebrate and reward, but the rest are all threats and punishments.
The fifth thing Yu Mao learned was to set a target in the air. The emperor repeatedly used side merits to help Zhang Juzheng enter the official position. After going back and forth for so long, he still only received the treatment of a first-class official, without the official rank of a Taifu.
The emperor wanted to give it to Zhang Juzheng, didn’t he? For this matter, the little emperor always nagged for a long time.
Zhu Yijun opened his fingers and counted them one by one: "Qian'an Bo, Ning Yuan Bo, Sishui Bo and Ying Yang Bo. Since I came to the throne, in just three years, I have granted four counts. Yu Mao's theory My rewards and punishments are unclear?”
“Zhang Han, Minister of Civil Affairs, asked me, why are my rewards and punishments unclear? Does it mean that the rewards and punishments are clear if we don’t give them to the generals?”
Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Han was even more dissatisfied. The direction of this memorial was very obvious, that is, Zhang Juzheng was admitted to the imperial examination and the official administration of the Qingming Dynasty, which ruined the prestige of the official department. Yang Bo was also a supporter of the imperial examination and promoted the imperial examination. Pilot project in Beijing.
As for Zhang Han, if Zhang Juzheng hadn't stopped him, Zhu Yijun would have told him to get out.
Zhang Han quickly bowed his head and said: "I have no intention of doing this. This memorial has nothing to do with me."
"Okay! Zhongshu Sheren has drafted the decree!" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Han Said: "I have succeeded to the throne in the year of Chong, and I have carefully abided by the laws established by my ancestors day and night, for fear of losing. In recent years, I have only affirmed the old rules, repaired and ruined them, and I have never killed anyone rashly or done anything wrong. I have not followed the laws of my ancestors for ten years. First and second, how can we call it too hasty?”
“Yu Mao’s academic career is in the language department, and he does not think about the imperial court’s efforts to govern. Those who are slanderous and sycophantic are trying to win people's hearts and corrupt the government. Those who are evil and disruptive of government should be punished according to the law. I want to persuade officials to be lenient and remove them from their posts to serve the people."
"We will ride on Luo Bingliang from thousands of families to find out whether he has been bribed by corrupt officials or wealthy people to lobby for him. If there is evidence, arrest him and go to the capital, and Xu Xing will ask questions."
Zhu Yijun is forcing Zhang Han to protect Yu Maoxue, If Zhang Han does not protect Yu Maoxue, and Zhang Han asks Yan Guan to remonstrate with him in the future, Yan Guan may be afraid that he will back down. If Zhang Han protects Yu Maoxue, then this matter has something to do with Zhang Han, and it will be simple. He will be arrested in court!
You are the only courtiers who know how to peel skin and bones? Wouldn’t the emperor know it?
"Your Majesty, are you too harsh on me?" Zhang Juzheng held up his hands and said, "Kedao Yanguan is the eyes and ears of the court. If you are so harsh, it will hurt your integrity."
Kedao The Yanguan was an important error-correcting mechanism in the Ming Dynasty. If someone reported something, he would be dismissed from his position to serve the people and would never be used again. This punishment was already very severe. He would also be investigated for corruption, arrested and brought to Beijing, and Xu Xing would ask questions.
Zhang Juzheng was extremely cautious when dealing with Yan Guan. When he impeached him, he always asked Lu Tiaoyang to post a blank ticket, saying that he was at fault for Yan Guan. Revenge is all about being promoted and dismissed after passing the exam. This is not the first time that Zhang Juzheng has pleaded for Yan Guan.
Zhu Yijun said very patiently: "If Mr. Yu Maoxue only went to the memorial to speak, why would I be so demanding? How many officials came to the memorial, and I explained the reasons carefully to them. I was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so I asked Feng Daxuan to help explain."
"But he was resisting the imperial decree. The imperial court wanted to pass the exam, but he said it was impersonal; the imperial court wanted officials to discuss matters and speak with facts, so he said it was blocking the way of speech; the imperial court gave Yang Dazai and Cheng Guogong When the imperial court wanted to grant posthumous titles to military generals, they said that they ignored public opinion; when the imperial court wanted to give military generals powers and meritorious service, they said that I did not know the rewards and punishments, and they also said that there were traitors in the court."
"Yes. I think he is a treacherous person!”
“How can the Ming Dynasty be upright if it rewards power and punishes people with such false accusations?” You can control the government out of thin air?”
“The ministers of ears and eyes are indeed an important correction mechanism of our Ming Dynasty, but this part of the body has rotted, so it should be cut off, otherwise how can new flesh grow? "
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I still think you can forgive me."
"Sir, I have made up my mind." But Zhu Yijun refused to give in at all. Forget it, just follow what the husband said. This is what he usually says, but this matter cannot be forgotten.
The trouble can't be ended, the worst is to issue a guilty edict. Anyway, I am young and don't understand. The emperor has already admitted his mistake, what else does he want to do!
"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng thought over and over again. He is the chief minister. His Majesty has made a decision. Repeated remonstrances have made him more powerful. Since your Majesty insists on punishment, then Check it out. If nothing is found, Yu Maoxue will not need to go to Beijing to ask questions.
The reason why Zhang Juzheng came forward to remonstrate was because he knew that as long as he investigated, he would be able to find out something. He was very confident in this.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Han, waiting for Zhang Han's performance. The chief assistant has already said good things for you. Why don't you, Zhang Han, say good things to your bastard?
But Zhang Han never said a word and just gave up on his lack of integrity.
Zhang Juzheng asked the Ke Dao spokesperson to impeach him. For example, when Zhang Chucheng engaged in Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, and Wang Xiyuan engaged in Zhang Han, he always spoke for his subordinates, and as long as these two advisors launched an attack, it would mean that Zhang Juzheng obtained direct evidence to prove that the accusation was not false.
But Zhang Han asked Yu Mao to give advice and create public opinion, but he refused to defend him. The distinction between a gentleman and a villain's cronies is so clear. A gentleman has a clear conscience, because the facts are facts, and impeachment based on facts , is not a targetless target, and most of the villain’s cronies are just like this, making false accusations one after another.
False accusations have become common, and the world will inevitably lose its etiquette and music, and its people will inevitably lose their hearts, because the boundaries between right and wrong have been blurred. Doing is wrong, not doing is wrong, and even if you want to do, you can't do it. How can you talk about trying to govern the world? ?
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and asked, "What do you think, the great Sikou?"
Even if you want to take the cavalry of Jin Yiwei, you need two procedures, one is the emperor's imperial edict, and the other is The identity is a driving ticket from the Ministry of Punishment. The case handled in this way is neither a white paper case nor a yellow paper case, but an iron case. Naturally, the attitude of the Ministry of Punishment should be adopted when dealing with people.
"I thought that I would just take it. There is nothing wrong with Yan Guan who can make such remarks. I didn't believe it. I brought him to the capital, put him in the sky prison, and gave him a meal of five poisons. Punishment, of course." Wang Chonggu stated his opinion seriously, arresting him directly, and even investigating him, why is there any need to investigate?
Seeing that Wang Chonggu agreed, Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Wang Sikou is too radical."
Zhang Juzheng advised the emperor not to be radical, and the emperor advised Wang Chonggu not to be radical. Above the court, the most radical It was Wang Chonggu, and Wang Chonggu and Yang Bo were in-laws. Wang Chonggu didn't know whether it hurt Yu Maoxue's memorial to hit Zhang Juzheng, but Yang Bo had already left, and Yang Bo could no longer defend himself. If Wang Chonggu didn't speak categorically for Yang Bo, people's hearts would be completely shattered.
"What do the two presidents of the Metropolitan Procuratorate think?" Zhu Yijun asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate for their opinion. After all, the department's spokesperson was under the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Hai Rui shook his head and said: "I haven't seen any righteousness in these rebellious remarks. They are not in line with the upliftment of the government. They are just for personal gain. Why do you want to be an official in the government? Why not? Forget it about working as an aide to Quan Hao."
"I don't have any objections," Ge Shouli said calmly. Yu Maoxue is from the Jin Party, but he is from Zhang Siwei. He, the leader of the Jin Party, hopes that the clan party will start early. He died and made the Jin Party embarrassed all day long.
What a stinky fish and rotten shrimp, it’s a shame to be associated with it.
"Then let's find the decree." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Han and sneered, and sent the decree to Jiangnan to investigate. This Yu Maoxue's best buttocks is clean.
Everyone knows that Yu Mao has a lot of things under his belt.
Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial from the table and said: "Liang Menglong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, wrote a memorial to talk about shipping matters, requesting that grain be transported by sea to support the wings of the capital reserve, and Caohe Province can pull the power to avoid the suffering of the garrison. , and the anti-sea defense station is scattered, and it can strictly prohibit the sea." Wang Chonggu took the lead in questioning and said: "Yuanfu, you can't cheat your students like this, Shilang Liang. Having already stumbled on Hai Cao, he came to Hai Cao again. If something happened again this time, Yuan Fu would not be able to protect Liang Shilang. Seeing that Liang Shilang had already been ranked as the Zuo Shilang, he would be able to enter the Wenhua Palace. ”
In September of the fifth year of Longqing, the Yellow River flooded and the canal was blocked. Zhang Juzheng asked Liang Menglong to preside over a water transport. Everything went smoothly. The first sea transport went very smoothly. A total of 100 people were escorted to Tianjin Wei sent 120,000 shi of grain, saving about 15,000 taels of freight.
As a result, Liang Menglong was awarded a platinum wedding dress and a one-level salary increase.
At the beginning of the first year of Wanli, the shipping fleet arrived at Fushan Island in Jimo. It encountered strong winds and damaged seven grain transport ships. They drifted thousands of stones and drowned fifteen soldiers. , the shipping stopped and never resumed.
Transporting grain by river is self-proclaimed to be authentic, while transporting grain by sea is a crooked way. With the support of Zhang Juzheng, Liang Menglong briefly resumed transporting grain by sea. However, he encountered a strong storm and the ship sank. Liang Menglong was immediately unlucky.
Sea transport has since stopped.
"People cannot stop eating just because they choked once. Shipping by sea is imperative." Zhang Juzheng said particularly forcefully.
"The reason is that Yuan Fu wants to be in charge of grain and shipping. Your Majesty firmly believes that Yuan Fu is loyal to the country, so there must be a reason to convince everyone." Ge Shouli looked at Zhang Juzheng and said very solemnly: "Does Yuan Fu want to do it? If you think about it clearly, Yuan Fu will be accused of treason with the Japanese once this is revealed."
Ge Shouli is not talking nonsense. After Liang Menglong's maritime grain fleet was damaged, seven ships were damaged. The court official said: Those who talk about shipping are pirates. Is it appropriate for the Qing Dynasty to tolerate this?
Liang Menglong's ships were hit by a storm, and seven of them sank, with thousands of stones lost, so he became a pirate.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Ge Shouli and said: "It is a common practice for the country to transport grain by river and canal for 400 shi. When the grain arrives in Beijing, it is always a quarter less. In addition, five qian per shi is donated as loss. Everyone , all regard the grain as a golden hole, and it is not surprising that they will lose their food and scold them."
"Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents. It would be strange not to scold them."
"Da Situ, please tell me why we need a sea canal."
Wang Guoguang picked up a pamphlet and said: "In the eleventh year of Chenghua, in order to subsidize the fare, an additional subsidy of rice 7 Sheng, stop the following year; in the 13th year of Chenghua, an additional 7 liters of rice was consumed by rats, and stop the following year; in the seventh year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Household Affairs levied an additional 5 dou per stone to compensate for the hardship of transporting the army, and stopped in the 10th year of Hongzhi; In the three years since it rained every year in summer and autumn, 4 liters of sun-free rice and 3 liters of grain rice per stone were collected. In the 18th year of Hongzhi, 2 liters of change rice and 5 dou of grain rice were added. In the first year of Zhengde, all of this was done."
"In the seventh year of Zhengde, the family's steamed rice will be 5 liters, and the next year will be over. In the sixteenth year of Zhengde, the price will be 1 dou, and the next year will be over."
Zhu Yijun can understand. , these are all temporary additions from the Chenghua period to the Zhengde period, and most of them will be added the following year.
Wang Guoguang continued: "Since the 26th year of Jiajing, the river grain has been added with silver, and one point of silver is added to each stone, which is used to maintain the canal. Later, every day, hundreds of stones were consumed. Add four stones of sun-dried rice, four stones of sun-raised rice, and one stone and eight buckets of dried rice. The total is nine stones and eight buckets. It is a common practice for private postings."
"In other words, four million stones. , a private post of 392,000 shi will be added."
Zhu Yijun asked with some confusion when he heard this: "Drying and raising rice will cause moisture to dry and raise dust. What is this sun-dried rice? What?”
Wang Guoguang bowed his head and said, “It’s the Lingjian. A rice tip should be piled on top of the tax collecting stone container.”
“ Demonstrate it." Zhu Yijun understood it, but had never seen it before, so he asked Wang Guoguang to demonstrate what the Ming Dynasty taxed rice was.
Feng Bao found a container with a bucket of rice, Zhang Hong found a bag of rice, and Wang Guoguang held the rice in his hands and added more. When it was full, he didn’t stop and continued to add until he added a handful. , after the rice began to roll down smoothly from the tip, Wang Guoguang stopped his hand and said: "This is the tip of the rice. The one that falls to the ground belongs to the tax collector. Add more or less, depending on the tax collector's mood."
After Wang Guoguang finished speaking, he took another handful and poured it on the top. The white rice rolled onto the table.
"Sir, I am confused." Zhu Yijun looked at the pointed bucket and the table of rice and said blankly.
Zhang Juzheng suddenly broke out in cold sweat, bowed his head and said: "I will help your majesty clear up your doubts."
Zhu Yijun said with great emotion: "Why haven't the common people come to the capital and beheaded me? His head was kicked like a Cuju?”
“I am guilty.” When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he trembled in fright and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"I am guilty." When the ministers saw Yuan Fu kneeling, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Pingshen." Zhu Yijun waved his hand. He knew clearly what Linjian rice was. In addition to Linjian, the rice on the table was also part of the tax. He said calmly: "Let's continue the discussion. . ”
Linjian can explain Luo Bingliang’s questions, why do the people prefer to protect powerful people rather than listen to the orders of the court? Why are powerful people so common in Ming Dynasty? Powerful people may be the last vestiges of common people's illusions.
Wang Guoguang looked at the dripping bucket in front of him and continued: "This is still a small part. The real big part is on the road. One stone of rice is shipped from Nanya Caosi. It will cost at least three stone of transportation along the way. , that is to say, one stone is taxed and three stones are consumed. "
"This includes the rations for the army. Each soldier carries 2 shi and 8 buckets of rations, and the monthly ration is 12 shi, totaling 14 shi and 8 buckets. Calculating 15 taels based on the price of grain in the north, it transports more than 80,000 troops, totaling 1.2 million taels. It also includes watercraft. The cost of building a watercraft at Qingjiangpu dock is about 105 taels. According to Qingjiang rice price, it is 210 taels. meters, 2,000 watercraft, totaling 200,000 taels;"
"The silver for crossing the dam is one cent for each stone. It is sun-dried, raised in the sun, and poured into the water. The price is nine stones and eight buckets for every hundred stones. It is valued at 200,000 silver. It is used to ensure transportation, build canals, etc., not counting civilian labor, and the annual fee is at least 45 Ten thousand taels, there is still no disaster.”
“Even I can’t calculate this account clearly, I can only calculate how much more the court will spend.”
Only Wang Guangguang can calculate it. What is clear is that the Ming court had to spend more than 2 million taels of silver to bring the four million shi of grain to Beijing. What about the unclear calculation by Wang Guoguang?
According to the consumption of one stone and three stones, four million stones will cost 12 million stones in freight. These consumptions need to be borne by the people of Ming Dynasty.
"Isn't this too much?" Wan Shihe asked dully, listening to this long list of losses.
Wang Guoguang took out an unfinished account and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. It was normal for Wang Guangguang not to be able to calculate the account of the canal. Even if the account was not clear at all, he was only standing in front of the court. From a standpoint, I simply calculated this account.
There are big heads along the way, and that is the big rats. This big rat is the gang, this big rat is the corrupt official at the checkpoint along the way, this big rat is buying money for the road, this is the big rat.
Zhang Han frowned and said: "There are eighty or ninety thousand people in the army, short breech and other items used in transporting soldiers. The poor people have to make a living. Once they lose their jobs, it is difficult to prevent them from becoming bandits. What about the local officials? Maintaining the livelihood of so many athletes is not a trivial matter."
Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Han, he deserved to be scolded every day, and he was completely pretending to be confused.
Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Han and said: "That's why we have to clear away the land, clear out the encroachments, return the fields, and stabilize the people. Farming is also a living, and workshops are also a living. You really deserve it. Then the fifteen taels of military pay for transporting grain to the army every year are all given to the transporters?”
"No, no, Zhang Shangshu doesn't know about the problem of paying salaries in the Ming Dynasty. Where does the money go? Zhang Shangshu, Ming people don't tell secrets."
Export of the Minister of Rites It exposed Zhang Han's disguise and revealed that he was still an official for powerful people.
Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Han sympathetically. He couldn't help him at all. He was making a lot of money, so why did he talk nonsense?
Zhang Han's face turned red, but he still argued: "Shipping travels across vast oceans, and there are constant turbulences. Everything is unpredictable, and everything is at stake! Although the river transportation is circuitous, it is stable along the way, and the funds are maintained evenly. From various provinces to Jingcang, there are countless people who can make a country prosperous and benefit the people. River transportation is circuitous and safe, but sea transportation is convenient and dangerous. The only way to make a foolproof plan is to use river transportation!"
Sea transportation must be carried out by sea. The sea is windy and risky. Although river transportation is inconvenient, how many people does it support along the way? There is no better government order in the world than river transportation. It will benefit the country and the people, the court will benefit, and the people will also benefit. It is probably a good thing. Why should river transportation be abolished?
Translation Translation, millions of water workers, depend on food and clothing.
Wan Shihe rolled his sleeves and said: "Zhang Shangshu, this is the Wenhua Palace, do you want to listen to what you are talking about? It sounds reasonable at first, but if you look carefully, it is all hypocrisy and confusing. "
"The imperial court just changed the transportation of grain to sea transportation. What you mean is that our Ming Dynasty will backfill the Grand Canal! You will pay for the backfilling of earth, stone and wood and civilian labor. Ah!”
“Without water transportation, this canal is like without freight. Goods from the north to the south will no longer use this canal, right?”
“Isn’t it just a borrowing? Why are you making so much noise if there is no tax on the boats? If there are five out of ten boats coming from Nanya, it would be good.”
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe's powerful and terrifying combat power, and was a little unsure, thinking that he had recognized the wrong person.
Is this still Wan Shihe, the minister of the Ministry of Rites who has been practicing law for three generations? In just two years, Uncle Zong's fighting power has become so terrifying that Zhang Han was speechless.
Zhang Han was silent for a long time, he really tried his best.
Front row reminder, there is another chapter ahead. I wrote it yesterday and it was locked. It has just been released. This is the first chapter today. Emperor Wanli reprimanded Yu Maoxue. Original text: I will succeed to the throne in the same year, and I will be cautious day and night. We must strictly abide by the laws established by our ancestors, for fear of losing them. What we have done in recent years has only been to affirm the old rules, to practice and destroy, and to have never killed anyone for one thing. If they have not followed even one or two of the ten laws of their ancestors, how can they be called careful? Yu Mao holds his position and speaks responsibilities without thinking about the government's efforts to govern. He is using the theory of being too powerful to buy people's hearts and corrupt the government. He will have to be bribed by corrupt officials and rich people to lobby for him. It seems that such a disorderly person should be governed according to the law. , I want to be an official, I will be dismissed from my post to serve the people, and I will never use it. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
(End of this chapter)
