When Fang Fengshi said this, Xu Xuemo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a ceremony of respecting the emperor and being loyal to the country. I believe that the crimes of the three governors should be punished!"
"Which law stipulates that it is a crime for fuss to conduct practice in the name of the government?"
"On the contrary, His Majesty gave them the right to act cheaply! So, Your Majesty, they are not guilty of doing so."
At this moment, Hai Rui questioned Xu Xuemo and told Zhu Yijun.
Historically, literati and bureaucrats often said that Hai Jui was pedantic and rigid in chapters and documents. In fact, they looked at Hai Rui from the standpoint of a gentry and landlord. The requirements are too strict, but from the standpoint of the common people, Hai Rui is not rigid, but even more open-minded than other scholar-bureaucrats.
Not to mention that when he was the governor of Nanzhili, he boldly implemented the one-whip law in the whole province of Nanzhili, and became the first reformer to implement the one-whip law in the whole province.
Of course, Nanzhili is indeed very suitable for a whip because of its developed business and trade, which is conducive to business development.
Even for the Huizhou silk case that happened in history, after Shuai Jiamo, who was not a gentry, raised an objection to the silk tax and filed a letter to him, the governor of Yingtian, he did not ignore Shuai Jiamo because of his low status. Instead, he took it seriously and ordered Si Xiang to investigate.
It can be seen that whether Hai Rui is considered pedantic or not depends on the standpoint of the person who said it.
That's why at this time, Hai Rui didn't oppose the governors' establishment of local affairs like Fang Fengshi and Xu Xuemo, and even asked Xu Xuemo a question.
After Zhu Yijun nodded, he looked at Hai Rui curiously.
At this time, Hai Rui also bowed his hands to Zhu Yijun again: "Qizou Your Majesty, the governor of Fengyang, Lu Qianxian, once wrote a letter to his ministers, talking about this idea. He said that there are too many homeless people in the world. It is not enough to solve the livelihood problem of the landless people, the government has to take the initiative to set up practical solutions to solve it, and it needs to be used for both camp and relief!"
"In this way, not only increasing the court's money but also stabilizing people's livelihood, the minister supported him at the time to try to do so, and praised him for being better at general affairs than the minister; now that he is doing this, it is naturally a long-standing idea, not a whim, let alone a Want to seek their own rights!"
"Even if they don't mean it, it's hard to guarantee that they will become the most powerful in this place in the future, and let officials advance and the people retreat, so that all industries will be depressed."
"The salt industry is an example. Any industry that is run by the government will not only damage the prestige of the court, but also hinder the prosperity of the world."
University scholar Liu Yingjie also objected at this time.
But Zhang Xueyan said at this time: "Your Majesty! I don't agree with Mr. Liu Ge's words. Although the official camp will inevitably harm the interests of the people, the key is that private merchants make more profits than righteousness, and have no national righteousness. Once there are huge profits to be made, they will swarm As a result, they even borrowed countless loans, so that in the end, most of them went bankrupt due to changes in the situation; and for businesses that benefit the country and benefit the future, how much they are unwilling to operate at a loss, and are worried that they will lose their money. That's not enough."
"Your Majesty, the government can guide you, but it's really not easy to set up a practice on your own, and corruption will surely breed in this way!"
"Your Majesty, in order to facilitate disaster relief, the system of this dynasty set up a treasury. Even if it does not do practical work, corruption will still occur due to the excessive accumulation of silver in the treasury. It doesn't mean that it is easier to be corrupt if it is set up in practice."
"What if the vassal bank loses so much that the local government needs to allocate money?"
"Can't the court review it?"
……
Regarding whether to allow the local government to set up practical affairs, the ministers have been arguing for several days, but in the end they did not come to a conclusion.
In the end, there were even cases where one party demanded to kill the other.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to order to stop discussing the matter, and wait for a few days to discuss the matter again.
And a few days later, when discussing the matter again, they still couldn't reach an agreement because of it.
At the same time, the controversy extended from the ruling circle to the entire court. Almost 2000 Beijing officials began to discuss this matter, and gradually divided into different factions.
Such is the case with the bureaucracy.
Even though everyone is a civil servant and a scholar-bureaucrat, but because they come from different regions and backgrounds, some are from official families, some are from common people and landlords, some are from ordinary merchants, and all of them are too refined. It will be brilliant if you give them some light. As long as the emperor allows them to speak, and accepts a little bit of advice, they can each come up with a big truth, which leads to two people having three opinions.
Even if they all agreed to reform, some were radical and some were moderate.
"People like Lu, Jin, and Shen, why would they want to start a practical business? As governors, do they still have a salary? The reward is so high!"
Shen Yiguan, the academician in charge of the Imperial Academy, brought up this matter with Shi Xing, the Minister of Taipusi, during the court.
Shi Xing sneered and said: "It's not thanks to the court's admiration of Zhang Xue! Emphasizing meritorious deeds and reforming untimely policies, they naturally dare to be so bold! So much so that they find their own sources of wealth and take profits from business people! They should be arrested Go to Beijing and deal with it strictly!"
Shen Yiguan glanced at Shi Xing after hearing this, but just smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.
……
"Qizou Your Majesty, please arrest the Governor of Fengyang, Lu Kun, the Governor of Yingtian, Shen Li, and the Governor of Fujian, Jin Xuezeng, and bring them to Beijing!"
On this day, inside the Xuanzhi gate.
As soon as Zhu Yijun came here to visit the court, there was a direct suggestion from Han Qushan, a minister of civil affairs and household affairs, to arrest Lu Kun, Shen Li, and Jin Xuezeng and take them to Beijing.
"Dare to ask Han Bulang, what crimes did these three governors commit, and they want to be arrested and sent to Beijing, so they are so slanderous, are they trying to trap the emperor's father in the unknown?!"
At this time, Gao Qiyu, the Minister of Rites, questioned Han Qushan.
At this moment, Han Qushan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Young Master Gao Qiyu is his accomplice, and he has always been in close contact with Shen Li and others."
"Retreat!"
"All the ministers in power went to the Political Hall to discuss this matter!"
After seeing the attitudes of many officials, Zhu Yijun didn't intend to procrastinate any longer, but announced the end of the early court, and called the ruling ministers to the political affairs hall.
As soon as he arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, Zhu Yijun first asked Shen Shixing: "What is Master Shen's opinion on this matter?"
Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, I think you can observe first to see whether the pros and cons are bigger or smaller. As the grand master said, it is better to seek truth from facts, because the minister has done something that he has not done before, and he is in a hurry Crying, beating and killing is not the way to employ people."
"Your Majesty, it's too late to deal with it when something goes wrong. Govern the country and plan ahead!"
Fang Fengshi retorted at this time.
Hai Rui said: "Your Majesty, at least for now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so the court should not stop it, so as not to be suspected of giving up food because of choking. It is also unrealistic!"
"Da Sinong, after all, he was born as a Juren, and his knowledge is still insufficient."
Fang Fengshi said something in a cold voice.
Hai Rui's face turned purple.
Don't tell me when you curse, Fang Fengshi clearly hit Hai Rui's sore spot.
And Fang Fengshi also instantly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly turned around and cupped his hands at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, I made a slip of the tongue!"
"Your Majesty, I don't think the Prime Minister has lost his word. After all, Duke Hai is narrow-minded. He values the people and not the business, but he doesn't know that if the business is invaded by the government, it will hurt the people."
Xu Xuemo followed suit.
"Your Majesty, these are all treacherous words. Is it narrow-mindedness for the people and the country?!"
Zhang Xueyan, who had been the governor of Liaodong and killed the Tartars in battle, was furious. He clenched his fists and glared, as if he wanted to beat Xu Xuemo and staged a full-scale martial arts.
Seeing Zhang Xueyan's thick eyebrows stood on end, Xu Xuemo became a little panicked.
At this time, Shen Shixing hurriedly cupped his hands to Zhu Yijun and said, "The ministers and others cannot agree on each other, so I ask your majesty to judge!"
The rest of the ministers also cupped their hands: "Your Majesty, please make an order!"
Zhu Yijun stood up at this moment:
"Decree to summon the three governors to go to Beijing immediately to report on their duties, and the governors will be represented by Zuo Buzhengshi!"
"If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. You can't judge the pros and cons of new things based on your own understanding. Don't you let me accept people's opinions? Then let the person who presides over this matter come to Beijing and ask them why they do this! Don't Hurry to behead and ask for guilt!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Before the other ministers could react, Shen Shixing hurriedly knelt down to accept the order on behalf of the bureaucracy.
