Chapter 224 Wanli's New Harvest

"The reason why I asked you to find someone to impeach him, Yan Gongzhi, is also because he is not from Zhang Jiangling, but was supported by Zhao Neijiang in the past. I thought that Jiangling would crowd out dissidents and let Yan Gongzhi go to office. , and deliberately asked you to find someone to say the crime of impeaching him a little more serious, so that Jiang Ling could squeeze out Yan Gongzhi and at the same time show his favor with a light punishment. "

"As a result, the emperor was not furious because of this, nor did he ask Jiang Ling to deal with the matter. Instead, he directly questioned Yan Gongzhi face to face in the Zhengshitang, to show his trust and respect for Gongqing."

"And Jiangling actually spoke up for Duke Yan in front of the emperor, saying that he is a capable minister, and advised the emperor not to blame the prince for suspected crimes."

"In this way, without Zhao Neijiang, Yan Gongzhi, who needs a new backer, will be grateful when he sees that Jiang Ling didn't hurt him, and even took the initiative to back him up. He has figured out people's hearts a long time ago!"

"In addition, the Son of Heaven has long been taught by him in Jiangling to be cautious in his administration, not to act rashly, and only to make side-swipes, so that Duke Yan can understand that just because he believes in him today, does not mean that he will believe in the future. Everything depends on him. It was his performance that prevented Mr. Yan from being impeached."

"That's why I said that Jiangling is not as good as a brother in terms of methods of winning people's hearts."

"This person doesn't use conspiracy to crowd out dissidents, but he always makes people in the court his own."

Some jealousy flashed in Zhang Siwei's eyes, and he sighed again after speaking: "It's just a pity that he has such powerful powers in Jiangling, but he uses them all for the country, not for his life! If he uses it for his life, I'm afraid The emperor may not be able to liquidate him in the future!"

Zhang Sijiao was also quite depressed after hearing this, and then he became ruthless and asked: "Why don't you let someone kill him secretly?! Burn him to death, or bribe his servants and maidservants with a lot of money to poison him, anyway, there is nothing you can do with other means he!"

Zhang Siwei glanced at his younger brother: "Do you want my Zhang family to be exterminated?!"

Zhang Sijiao didn't speak any more after hearing this.

"He Jiangling will always die of old age. At that time, he will be able to wait until the day when the Son of Heaven will be in charge. When that day comes, everything will be easy to handle."

Zhang Siwei said another sentence after a long time.

Then, he just looked at the capital's official residence in the drizzle, and said nothing.

……

On this day, Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

The scorching sun in winter seems to have coated the room with a layer of gold powder, making it much more radiant, and even Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the couch, felt much brighter in his heart, and the gloom was swept away.

"Mr.'s method, I have learned it again."

"It's not as interesting to directly exclude dissidents as to make a lot of your own people."

Moreover, when Zhu Yijun saw the test book jointly signed by Yan Qing, Zhang Mengli, and Wang Ji, and saw that the content of the test book was that the three courts ruled that Lu Huo and others should be executed for treason, he also He laughed and slandered.

Then, Zhu Yijun handed the title book to Zhang Hong: "Direct approval and execution."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hong took the test book.

And then, Zhu Yijun looked at another urgent note.

This memorial was originally sent back from Nanzhixing by Shen Shixing, saying that the matter of rent reduction, interest rate reduction and processing money had been resolved. The farm cooperatives and labor cooperatives of the hired workers signed new lease and loan contracts together.

Shen Shixing also said that the market in Nanzhi has restored order.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yijun saw the memorandum handed back by Hai Rui, and also mentioned that the matter of reducing rent, interest and processing money had been resolved, and that the new policy of government and gentry paying food and errands together had also been thoroughly implemented in Nanzhi. A very small number of gentry chose to serve in the military to pay the tax and silver, and most of them paid all the tax and silver.

"Very well, let the Fa cabinet have a discussion, and the officers and soldiers in charge of the New Deal, such as Shen Shixing and Hai Rui, will be promoted and rewarded according to the system."

Zhu Yijun smiled happily after reading it, and issued a new decree.

After that, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling a lot more relaxed.

He knew that so far, the incident caused by the new policy of government and gentry paying food and errands together has calmed down, and finally achieved his goal, allowing Daming to take a bigger step on the road of reform.

During this period, Zhu Yijun approved Hai Rui's request on the abolition of cheap registration, reorganization of shantytowns, conversion of Danhu to the people, and cancellation of road guides.

It made the people of Ming Dynasty less oppressed.

Of course, for the people of Ming Dynasty, what is really important is that during the implementation of the New Deal, they can successfully reduce rent and interest, without increasing the burden due to the implementation of the New Deal.

Not long after Zhu Yijun knew that the campaign to reduce rent and interest had been successful.

Gu Xiancheng and other Nanzhi officials also learned through letters from their relatives and friends that the rent reduction and interest rate reduction campaign ended in the gentry's compromise and profit sharing. .

Therefore, after Gu Xiancheng knew the result, his face became very ugly.

Not only Gu Xiancheng, but also Li Zhi, Li Sancai, Jiang Dongzhi, Cheng Lai, Xie Yuanhua, etc. all looked extremely ugly.

They are all the sons of bureaucrats and Jinshi. They have always been arrogant and feel that they are not smarter than the rest of the world. They are the only ones who can play with others, and no one can play with them. Young is the age to despise others.

But now Shen Shixing put them together.

For them, this blow was not insignificant.

Keng!

Suddenly, there was only a sound of broken porcelain, which made the beautiful face of a young woman who accompanied Gu Xiancheng and others turn pale, and the flowers in the porcelain were scattered all over the ground.

Red, yellow, white, blue, pink, very much like the mood of Gu Xiancheng and others at the moment.

"Why are the people of Nanzhi Shilin so inconsistent?!"

"Unfortunately, I thought he Shenwu County was willing to offend Jiangling for this! He will reciprocate, after all, I recommended him in front of the emperor!"

Gu Xiancheng leaned on the armrest of the chair precariously and said.

"what!"

Gu Xiancheng couldn't help roaring again for a moment.

He obviously couldn't accept the result, he stared angrily, as if he was about to go crazy and needed to cry out.

"Uncle, don't do this!"

"Thinking about it now, it can only show that in the eyes of people at his level in Shenwu County, the interests of the entire Nanzhi gentry are not as important as his personal career in Shenwu County, and the interests of his Shen family. He planned to take this opportunity to annex the properties of several big families. Anyway, no one blamed him for it, only Jiang Ling and Hai Rui. He could still annex the properties of several big criminals under the pretext of helping the villagers, so as to return his fame and fortune. Double income, the key is that he himself can continue to be in the cabinet."

Li Sancai began to persuade at this time.

Li Zhi got up at this time and said in a deep voice: "That can't be played by him in Shenwu County for nothing! No matter how you look at it, as far as my six subjects and thirteen disciplines are concerned, we don't want him to suffer from our speech officials in the future. I will not give up!"

"The official department will not really suffer from this dumbness. Just wait, after the examination method is abolished, the power will belong to the official department, and then we will take advantage of the opportunity of the Jingcha to settle the new and old grudges together!"

Gu Xiancheng also followed suit.

Jiang Dongzhi said: "This is a matter of the future. The problem now is that since the reduction of rent and interest is over, what about the previous patrol team?"

"In many new towns that were originally self-governed by my Jiangnan eunuchs, these patrol teams are still maintaining law and order and collecting taxes."

"If this continues, the new towns in Nanzhi, which are developed due to commerce and trade, will be controlled by the patrol team, and the imperial power will drop from the county to these places!"

"Of course the patrol team will be abolished!"

Li Zhi started talking, and said: "We have to go back to the book, and on the grounds that the civil unrest is over, please ask the imperial court to abolish the patrol team to save money!"

At this time, Wei Yunzhong came over, and said with a sullen face: "I just got the news, Mr. Yan went straight up and asked to change the patrol team into an inspection department, and add an inspection shop!"

"The reason is: I am afraid that there will be another civil uprising in Nanzhi in the future. The civil uprising that occurred during the Huizhou silk case and the recent civil uprising because of the integration of officials and gentry all show that the people's situation in Nanzhi is complicated and needs to be strengthened. This expense is to save a large amount of military pay for the Nanzhi chaos in the future and the need to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion."

"And the cabinet said that Hai Rui had already made this statement before, and now it happens that a deed tax is added every year in Nanzhi, so the bill intends to use this deed tax as the payment for the addition of the inspection department and inspection shop in Nanzhi, and approved the strict The question between Gongzhi and Hai Gangfeng."

After hearing this, Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi were both stunned.
