Chapter 1003: Helping others is the foundation of happiness
Since the Son of Heaven asked for countermeasures, Fang Jifan naturally did not dare to slack off.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the treasury is the treasury, and the internal treasury is the internal treasury, if the treasury and the internal treasury are not separated, and the treasury borrows from the internal treasury today, then tomorrow, the internal treasury is insufficient, is it not that Your Majesty can also embezzle the treasury money and grain?" β
"As soon as this case is opened, it will not be beneficial to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court."
Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head, it seemed that because Fang Jifan had answered the correct answer, he couldn't help but glance at Fang Jifan with appreciation: "I also have such worries. β
Fang Jifan said again: "So the opinion of the ministers is that Your Majesty doesn't need to pay attention to the requirements of the cabinet, over the years, the imperial court tax system has been disorderly, and Your Majesty intends to reform the tax system, but the hundred officials are perfunctory about it, okay, now there is no silver, and you come to ask Your Majesty for it, what is the reason?" β
"Your Majesty will only indulge them and make them not cherish the money and grain of the treasury, but it will also make them lose the incentive to collect taxes."
"Every time they mentioned the collection of taxes, they shouted loudly about the extortion. This is empty talk, what is expropriation? Have the people paid less for so many years of showdowns and taxes? There is no shortage at all, but the taxes just can't be collected, where does the money and food go? β
As soon as Fang Jifan thought of this, his teeth itched with hatred, and he said that our Jifan has no conscience, and compared with everyone here, you are lacking in virtue.
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and said, "So, I directly refuted them." β
"Not only do you want to refute it, but if Your Majesty nods, there are thousands of disciples and grandchildren under the sons, and the sons and daughters will let them all write articles and reprimand them fiercely."
Emperor Hongzhi made up his mind, what Fang Jifan said made sense, and if this is the case, then leave them alone.
However, he still has some hidden worries in his heart, for fear that the treasury is really insufficient and will harm the people.
"Your Majesty, only by breaking down can you stand greatly, otherwise Your Majesty will take out hundreds of thousands of taels today, and tomorrow there will be a shortage of silver, and they will still ask for it.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "I'm afraid, because of the inner court and the imperial court, and the military aircraft and disasters will be delayed...... Something happened, but I couldn't afford it. β
Fang Jifan can understand Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts, which is also the reason why the cabinet thinks that the ambition must be achieved.
The family is the world, the family is the world, I am the country, so on the other hand, the country eats your old Zhu family, there is nothing wrong, the world is your family, and you have to be responsible.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty has forgotten that Ouyang Zhi is in Dingxing County. β
"Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, and didn't understand the deep meaning of Fang Jifan's words for a while.
Fang Jifan said: "Erchen, a protΓ©gΓ©, although his IQ is not as good as that of Erchen, but since the new policy in Dingxing County, it is still quite effective, I don't know how much money and grain Dingxing County can pay this year, maybe it can make up for the deficit of the treasury." β
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "A county can make up for the deficit of the treasury?" β
He couldn't imagine it.
It seems that pinning the deficit of the national treasury on a small county is even more ridiculous.
Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you'll know when the time comes." β
Since Emperor Hongzhi had made up his mind, he would not give a tael of silver, so naturally, he didn't think about anything.
I'll talk about that later.
It's not easy for me to save this bit of silver.
Emperor Hongzhi simply stopped talking about this matter and said, "What has the crown prince been doing lately?" β
"I'm building a railway, and occasionally I go to Xishan Medical College to teach."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Building a railway is a serious matter, medical school...... Teaching...... What is taught? β
"Surgery, take the knife!" Fang Jifan gestured: "After the appearance of the theory of fine worms, a new theory has also appeared in this clinical operation...... It's a pity that most of the students in the medical school are useless, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very anxious about them, so ......"
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but wonder: "That's it." Let him be. β
Emperor Hongzhi's impression of the crown prince has changed a lot, and he used to worry that he would mess around, but now it seems that the prince is just interested in what he is interested in.
At least...... It's good that there's no messing around.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As soon as he heard that Fang Jifan had entered the palace, His Majesty personally summoned him.
Li Dongyang, who was originally holding Zhizhu, suddenly became scared.
This may be because of the internal affairs, His Majesty summoned Fang Jifan to ask about countermeasures.
Originally, it was okay for His Majesty to have an idea, but now Fang Jifan has inserted a bar, which is ......
Li Dongyang didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy pulling Xie Qian to Fengtian Hall to meet him.
Along the way, Xie Qian couldn't help but say: "Gong Li, why is your face bad, Your Majesty is the Lord of the Holy Ming after all, and the deficit of this treasury is ......"
"Let's see you first." Li Dongyang's face was gloomy, the two had just arrived outside the Fengtian Palace, and they happened to see Fang Jifan walking out.
Li Dongyang coughed and barely smiled: "Captain Fang, hello." β
Fang Jifan hurriedly stepped forward and said modestly: "I've seen Gong Li, I've seen Gong Xie." β
Xie Qian bowed his head and smiled at Fang Jifan.
Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty summoned Captain Fang, what is the matter?" β
Fang Jifan replied honestly: "Because of the deficit of the treasury. β
Li Dongyang knew that he was really afraid of something, and the smile on his face was a little unbearable: "Fang Duwei didn't say anything, right?" β
This is a very vague question, and it is already very tactful.
Fang Jifan said in a heartfelt manner: "How can Li Gong think of someone on our side like this, is someone on our side the kind of person who chews the root of his tongue?" β
Li Dongyang: "......"
This expression......
Fang Jifan said angrily: "Even if Duke Li can insult someone's personality on our side, he must not doubt that our Jifan loves the people like a son and takes his leave. β
Say it, clench your fists, and go.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked at each other.
Xie Qian said: "Looking at him like this, I want to come...... There should be no bad words. β
Li Dongyang didn't think as much as Xie Qian, and said with a calm face: "You'll know when you see the driver." β
After the two of them reported, they entered the temple and bowed.
Emperor Hongzhi sat on the throne, was holding a pen, bowing his head and writing something, his eyes did not lift, he said to the ticket on the case: "You are here, you came just right, I thought about it all night, I feel that the treasury and the internal treasury must not be confused, the so-called no rules are not a circle, the rules of the ancestors are on top, this treasury has a deficit, what does it have to do with the internal money?" Zhu Qing tried his best, because there was a shortfall, so he needed to open up sources and reduce expenditure. β
Li Dongyang: "......"
Xie Qian's heart was probably a groove, what the dog surnamed Fang said, he really couldn't believe a word, if this guy didn't say anything in front of the saint, how could His Majesty be so determined.
"Your Majesty, this deficit ......" Li Dongyang said miserably: "Wait...... Ten thousand deaths, just ......"
Only then did Emperor Hongzhi raise his head: "So opening up sources and reducing expenditure is the most important thing, then Ouyang Zhi is not innovating in Dingxing County, I see that the country continues like this, and it is not a way to lose money every year, and look at Dingxing County." β
"With him a Dingxing County?" Li Dongyang wrinkled his brows, and suddenly felt a little child's play.
Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew Li Dongyang's mentality, why wasn't he like this before? But......
Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to say with a straight face: "Okay, that's it, I have made up my mind, the money and grain from the inner money will go to the internal money, there is no son, I can't break the rules of the ancestors, so let's find a way by ourselves." β
"Your Majesty......"
In the Fengtian Temple, Li Dongyang's desperate wail was heard.
Li Dongyang has always been wise, and he couldn't know much about His Majesty's temperament.
It is precisely because of this that he thinks that the treasury is insufficient, and it is not only logical to withdraw the silver from the internal funds, but also to obtain it, so the expenditure of the past two years is indeed a little happier for the household department, after all...... In His Majesty's inner pocket, there are now more than 39,377,500 taels of silver, which is a dime.
But where did you think of it...... That's how it turned out......
Fang Jifan's dog thing...... It's really a lack of virtue, his house has been sold for so much money, have you ever thought about it? But he turned his hand and ran to trap people, is this dog still worthy of being a man?
But Emperor Hongzhi seems to have made up his mind.
There is no intention of relenting.
Your Majesty doesn't let go, what can you do?
As for the so-called Dingxing County, this is even more outrageous, pointing to a mere Dingxing County, isn't this a fool's dream?
National events, how can it be child's play!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Fang Jifan returned to Xishan, he couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
From Xishan to Xincheng, the railway here has begun to be prepared.
Once built, then the West Mountain, the old city and the new city will be completely connected.
Here in Xishan, there are not only the highest universities, but also a large number of workshops, as well as countless industries, once connected with the old city and the new city, it is almost conceivable that the combination of these three will have an impact on housing prices.
Now inside and outside the Manjing Division, it is like a huge construction site, hundreds of thousands of people are busy, countless raw materials, into the workshop, after the workshop output, and then transported everywhere, Fang Jifan even once wanted to change the name of this Xishan, called Xishan Industrial Park, but it seems that there is no hurry at the moment.
As soon as he landed, he saw Zhang Yong, the eunuch beside Zhu Houzhao, coming in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Fang Duwei, medical school...... Medical...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Waiting for the Lieutenant ......"
"What, what's wrong?" Fang Jifan said lightly, looking calm and relaxed.
Zhang Yongdao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a major operation, and he has to be done by Du Wei, Du Wei ...... Hurry, hurry, something big is going to happen, something big is going to happen........."
Go out...... Event......
Fang Jifan smiled in his heart, he always felt that these people liked to make a fuss, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the sky is falling, with me on top, even if you make the wrong knife and die...... Then bury it, anyway, His Highness is full of blood debts, and he doesn't have to worry if he has too many debts! β
