"I am frightened."
Zhang Juzheng cupped his hands and replied.
At this moment, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Juzheng's thinner and paler head.
He knew that by doing so, he had higher demands on Zhang Juzheng and made him more tired.
After all, according to Zhang Juzheng's original choice, he would directly exterminate these refugees when they became rioters.
That is undoubtedly very simple, and there is no need to offend the officials.
But now, in order to benefit these refugees and shantytowns, to plan for a rainy day, and to treat these refugees in a civilized manner, we have to use our brains to establish a series of new systems to guard against the selfish side of human nature. While motivating local officials to do so, They have to be supervised to prevent them from taking money and not doing things, and to prevent them from being ungrateful and backlash against the court after they are supported.
In this way, Zhang Juzheng will undoubtedly take more painstaking efforts than in history, and will have to bear greater mental pressure.
You must know that allowing these refugees to settle down means preventing the local officials from exploiting them and increasing the workload of the local bureaucrats, which will undoubtedly offend a large number of people.
How could this not make Zhang Juzheng even more tired in this life?
In Zhu Yijun's heart, in fact, he instinctively felt a bit of intolerance.
But Zhu Yijun knew that if he didn't show such diligence and love for the people, Zhang Juzheng would not like to see him.
Therefore, it can be said that this is Zhang Juzheng's own choice.
Zhu Yijun has always respected his choice as a minister and teacher.
Thinking of this, the unbearable feeling in Zhu Yijun's heart faded a lot, and he continued to concentrate on doing things that followed his heart.
That night, Zhu Yijun slept relatively late, and did not let the queen come to the Qianqing Palace, because he read Zhang Juzheng's detailed rules very late, and he also noted a lot of thoughts.
So much so that he yawned when he gave a lecture in Wenhua Hall the next day.
Zhang Juzheng did not frown because of this, revealing his dissatisfaction.
He could guess why the emperor lacked sleep, and he even wanted to make a memorial to persuade the emperor not to rely on his youth to live like this, but to combine work and rest. Too much diligence is not good, don't be at his age, you have to drink Only medicine can reproduce offspring, and you have to stand a little bit apart when you relieve your hands, and your neck is slightly lowered for a while, and you are so tired that you want to break your head and neck.
"I agree with all the chapters drafted by Mr., but I also added some."
"That is, we should set up a research institution to analyze the feasibility of various projects and businesses that invest money to benefit the people, and let them check for the officials in charge of this aspect, and conduct research on whether various projects and industries that invest money are feasible or not. analysis."
"After all, the matter of Qian Fa Shi Yi needs someone with some expertise to do it well. Wang Anshi is not professional enough in this area, so something went wrong."
"This institution is called the Imperial Research Institute, which is the same as the Hanlin Academy. It belongs to the place where I store talents. The cabinet recommends some experts who understand the knowledge of economics and economics to the institution to study this kind of knowledge and check it for the court."
"As for the official office that is in charge of rejuvenating the country and enriching the people and asking for funds from the imperial court, it is set up as the Xingguo Fumin Duzhisi, which is usually called the Duzhisi."
"The Department of Duzhi is set up in the cabinet, and one cabinet minister will concurrently serve as the envoy of Duzhisi, and two deputy envoys will be set up, with the title of minister of the household department, and then set up each room, and each room will be headed by a Lang official."
"Let the local governor set up a branch in his official office, and a chief envoy will also serve as a branch envoy."
"By analogy, prefectures and counties should have them."
"As for the schools that cultivate talents of various specialties, they will be cultivated by the Xingming Academy run by the imperial court."
"Sir, let the decree be passed on to the world. Xingming Academy will carry out reforms, and select all kinds of talents from all over the world to teach in the school. The Ministry of Rites will also recommend them, and the clan and relatives can also recommend them."
"By the way, I found that Prince Zheng's son Huang Boqin is very good at arithmetic, calendar, and acoustics, so I immediately called him to Beijing."
"He and Xu Wei will be in charge of the Royal Research Institute and Xingming Academy, and let the emperor be in charge of arithmetic, calendar, astronomy, water conservancy, construction, etc., inferring and discovering knowledge that is found in nature even if no one exists;"
"Let Xu Wei be in charge of history, money law, education, etc., and the knowledge of phenomena related to human social activities in the world."
Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, told Zhang Juzheng in the west room of Wenhua Hall in the interval between lectures and readings. After reading Zhang Juzheng's memorial to the emperor and the imperial court to invest in the construction of relevant systems to benefit the people, he put forward his own decree.
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands and said yes.
"The internal treasury will temporarily take out 100 million taels of silver for the purpose of rejuvenating the country and enriching the people. How much the external treasury can take out will be discussed by the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Then you can make a decree to set up a Duzhi Division. You can first spread the news that the treasury and the internal treasury are going to spend money to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, so that some industrial and commercial gentry in the world can transfer their dissatisfaction with the government and gentry. So eager to share the great benefits of the imperial court."
"As for how much money to invest and how much to spend, we will discuss the details with Mr.
Zhu Yijun continued to speak at this time.
Zhang Juzheng is busy saying the order.
Zhu Yijun's doing this is equivalent to taking out part of the emperor, the imperial court, and the internal and external treasury goods accumulated over the years, and redistributing it. It is equivalent to taking the initiative to cut a piece of cake and let the people below share it. .
The reason for doing this is naturally not that Zhu Yijun thinks there is too much money, but that he knows that only when the capital flows can it stimulate productivity, increase social wealth, make the cake bigger, and then feed back internal and external treasuries, so that internal funds and national funds can be combined. Not only did it not take out money to invest, but it increased a lot. It is also a reason to take out technology.
After all, Zhu Yijun could not learn from many landlords. He only knew how to bury the collected goods on the ground or put them in the warehouse to prevent them from flowing, so that the productivity of the whole society could not be developed, and the goods kept flowing upwards. Sooner or later, it will cause the underlying goods to dry up and eventually something will happen.
Zhu Yijun needs to allow money to flow among domestic funds, national funds and the common people in order to create more wealth.
"One million taels?!"
The ministers of the cabinet and Zhang Xueyan, who was invited by Zhang Juzheng to the cabinet, and Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, decided to go out to the cabinet after hearing that Zhang Juzheng said that he had asked the emperor to support industry and commerce, achieve the purpose of rejuvenating the country and enriching the people, and solving the survival problems of the landless refugees. Both money and foreign money, that is, a deposit of state money for investment, and the emperor has promised to give 100 million taels, can't help but feel refreshed.
Wang Guoguang couldn't help standing up first, and asked again.
Zhang Juzheng nodded, and asked Zhang Xueyan: "Da Si Nong roughly estimates, how much money can the foreign treasury spend to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people?"
Zhang Xueyan pondered for a while, then got up and cupped his hands and replied: "To be cautious, you can take out 200 million taels to try first. If it can really rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, then let all the localities report some industrial and commercial matters that can rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, and then according to whether the reported It is safe and secure, and an additional 300 million taels can be added."
100 million taels of silver for internal money plus 200 million taels of silver for foreign money is already a big cake.
What's more, there will be an additional 300 million taels later.
You must know that the demand for cotton cloth in Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty is considered to be the largest in the domestic market of the Ming Dynasty. It is the largest demand for cotton cloth in this era, and it is only a cake worth 200 million taels.
But now, the imperial court wants to take out an investment worth 300 million taels, and let the people of the world share the 300 million taels and the benefits brought by the 300 million taels.
There will even be an additional 300 million taels.
Although only a few ministers in the cabinet and Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, know about it, they are all a little excited.
"Then tentatively set 300 million taels of funds for the prosperity of the country and the people, and the cabinet will issue a general order to the governors and inspectors, asking them to play a role in their respective jurisdictions. , play it all."
As Zhang Juzheng said, he looked at Wang Guoguang: "Ru Guan, come and draw up this Jun decree! Money, law and finance, you are the best at it. Ziwei and I, Tigan, and Ru Mo are all businessmen. Rich, but I was born as an imperial court official, so I am not as good as you in this aspect, so I can only draw it up."
"In addition, the servant has recommended you to be the head of the branch. In the future, you will have to spend this money for the prosperity of the country and the people for your majesty and the court."
After Zhang Juzheng said, Wang Guoguang hurriedly cupped his hands excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, Your Majesty and the court really want to take 300 million taels of silver to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, then I will give your Majesty and the court a more prosperous Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Guoguang is indeed one of the rare financiers among the officials of the Ming Dynasty in history.
That's why Zhang Juzheng said that he was more suitable than the others in developing the national economy.
Because of this, Zhang Siwei and others showed disappointment on their faces.
