Since taking charge of Jinyiwei, Liu Chun has become more and more deaf and clear-sighted, and the files of court officials are all in their stomachs, and everything above the seventh grade knows everything, full of "three eyes".

This Yu Xin stood up, fought back against Xun Shunqing, and spoke for the grain chief's system. On the one hand, it is the book of the household, but on the other hand, Yu Xin is from the big family.

The Yu family was in Hongwu for eight years and was appointed as the grain chief.

The so-called grain chief is different from the inner chief, and the grain chief is successive generations.

The Yu family has done their best to deliver food over the years. Among them, there was a clan uncle of Yu Xin, who was appointed as the secretary of Taichang Temple, and several clansmen were able to enter the Guozijian.

Including Yu Xin, who was able to be promoted to the head of the household department quickly, it all has something to do with the good work of the grain chief.

As soon as Xun Shunqing came up, he attacked the system of the grain chief, where could Yu Xin agree!

"Junior ignorance!" Yu Xin gritted his teeth and said: "You just said that the gentry used their status as grain chiefs to bully the people, do all kinds of evil, and force people to go bankrupt!" But how did I hear that many gentry were enthusiastic about the ancient way, and did everything according to the rules of the imperial court, and went to Beijing every year to listen to the official edicts, receive official documents, and then return to their hometowns to collect grain. As the chief of grain, he has to hire servants, take out boats, vehicles, and horses to transport grain, and if there are people in the grain area who are poor and cannot pay the field tax, the grain chief must also pay on his behalf...... In the past 20 years, three members of my Yu family have died on the road of transporting grain to the capital, and they have become ghosts of foreign mourning! But my Yu family has never complained or regretted, this is the mission of His Majesty to my Yu family, my Yu family up and down, only do my best to repay the emperor's grace! I don't regret dying! ”

After Yu Xin's words were finished, many officials nodded frequently. I agree very much, some people even want to stand up and teach Xun Shunqing a few words, a little guy, who has not been an official for a few years, is so arrogant and ignorant, and the disciple is like this, isn't the master responsible?

They glared angrily, wanting to see how Yoo Chun responded.

And at this moment, Zhao Mian, the secretary of the ministry, smiled.

"What Yu Shangshu said, the official knows that the Yu family has done their best to transport grain for the imperial court over the years, which is also well known. But just like you accuse Xun Shunqing, saying that he is ignorant, but just one Yu family is like this, is it also a partial generalization? Ahh ”

is also a book of six books, Yu Xin is not afraid of Zhao Mian!

"Lord Zhao, my Yu family is like this, and most of the food chief's families are also like this! Even if there are some villains who have a bad conscience and exploit the people, it is a very small minority...... If you use this to deny the system of grain chiefs, I will not accept it! ”

Talking about this, it finally ignited the enthusiasm of Baiguan.

Many people stood up and spoke for Yu Xin.

The big guy's point of view is very simple to summarize, the system of grain chief was created by Lao Zhu, it is an act of loving the people, it is very convenient, and it cannot be abolished!

At this point of argument, Lao Zhu coughed, he looked at Liu Chun, "Xun Shunqing is your student, as a master, what do you think of his point of view?" ”

Liu Chun didn't want to speak, but there was no way to ask.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the two of them said is reasonable, but it is also unfair!"

Lao Zhu said angrily with a dark face: "Don't talk to the mud, say something useful!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Chun cleared his throat, "This lord, judging the system of the grain chief, whether it is convenient or not, must not be based on just one side, Xun Shunqing said, the grain chief followed the power, bullied the people, forced the people to die, and the wife was separated, this kind of thing, in the report of Jinyiwei, is not uncommon, as for whether it is more or less, it has not been decided for the time being." Of course, I believe that the Yu family is good, they did their best to transport grain for the imperial court, and some people even died on the way to transport grain. ”

Liu Chun said, and also bowed deeply to Yu Xin.

Then he said: "Yu Shangshu, I think you take the Yu family as an example and say that the grain chief will do his best and do whatever it takes." I think that's exactly why we want to change the grain chief system! ”

"Liu Chun, what do you mean?" Yu Xin roared angrily, "Is it still wrong to do a good job?" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Chun laughed loudly, "Yu Shangshu, have you thought about it, why did the Yu family send grain to the capital, and they would suffer heavy losses, and even some people died?" The reason is very simple, first, the road is too far, and second, there are too many accidents...... Although the Yu family is a big family, their human and financial resources are limited. In other words, it can't be compared with the imperial court. ”

Liu Chun smiled and said, "My lords, please think about it, if the government is in trouble in order to collect and transport grain, what can I do?" Build roads, build bridges, prepare fleets, and mobilize people! How much power does the imperial court have, and how much power does a family have? ”

"The essence of the imperial court's taxation is to supply the state. Therefore, the transportation of grain needs to be completed quickly, sufficiently and on time. I don't want to talk about the gains and losses of the quality of the grain chief's character, but I want to say that since the 15th year of Hongwu, there have been cases of arrears of money and grain over the years. In the most year, the grain in Taicang was only 60% and 5, and the most year was more than 80%. His Majesty was strictly frugal, and the imperial treasury was abundant. Even if the land is in arrears, the imperial court has not yet experienced a shortage of food. But the so-called planning for a rainy day is better than digging a well when you are thirsty. Regarding how to collect money and grain, should the court come up with a new charter, and the imperial court should be prepared! ”

……

Liu Chun talked a lot, and some people nodded frequently, but some people didn't think so.

Yu Xin was unconvinced and said: "Lord Liu, according to what you said, do you want to let the government collect grain, and give those little officials the opportunity to exploit the people?" ”

"Yu Shangshu is a little restless, I mean, can you first avoid the pain of the grain chief transporting grain to Taicang."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Mian hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, do you mean, so as not to kill and wound people on the road like the Yu family?" ”

"Hmmm! There is a purpose. Liu Chun said: "As far as I know, taking Nanzhili as an example, the field endowment in each county is mostly about tens of thousands of stones. According to the current method, there are ten grain chiefs in a county, and these ten grain chiefs will be transported to the capital separately and delivered to Taicang. If we first let the ten grain chiefs hand over the fields to Changping, and then arrange the manpower in a unified manner with one county or one prefecture to transport grain to Beijing, wouldn't it be more convenient? ”

Some people haven't turned the corner yet, but some people have already figured it out, such as Zhao Mian, who has worked in the household department, and is naturally very experienced.

I couldn't help but stroking my palms and laughing, "Wonderful, wonderful!" Lord Liu's move is really a stroke of genius, turning decay into magic! It's wonderful! ”

Yang Jing, the imperial history of Zuodu, said curiously: "Zhao Tianguan, what's the wonder?" ”

Zhao Mian smiled, "Lord Yang, please think, the grain chiefs from all over the country, is it easy to transport the fields to the capital, or is it easy to be local?" ”

Yang Jing laughed, "That's naturally local." ”

"Hmmm! From this point of view, the local government should be able to collect enough tax grain more than a month in advance! ”

Yang Jing bowed, "That's right, many grain chiefs deliver grain, and they are on the road for more than a month or two, Zhao Shangshu said a month in advance, which is still polite." ”

"In fact, the local government does not have to wait for all the grain to be collected, because the local Changping warehouse also has grain in stock. As long as the time comes, the local yamen will requisition the people, prepare the livestock and horses, and transport the grain that should be sent to the capital to Taicang on time. Isn't it beautiful that the localities can be allocated as appropriate, so that the upper level will not mislead the country and the lower level will not mislead the people, and each will get its own benefits? ”

Yang Jing thought for a while, and said: "Sure enough, Your Majesty, the minister has received a letter of complaint in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and in some places, there has been a disaster, and it may be that half of the county has been affected." At this time, the question arises, whether the grain areas that have not been affected by the disaster should send tax grain to the capital? Is it to pay the imperial court land tax first, or to give relief to the local government...... If you can summarize it to the local government first according to Liu-sama's idea, the grain chief will not have to be embarrassed. ”

It has the support of the official department and the imperial history of the left capital.

Gradually, more and more officials came forward.

Liu Chun's support is becoming more and more obvious, as for Yu Xin, although he is still unwilling to bow his head, he also knows that the benefits of unified collection and delivery by the local government are great.

But the biggest problem is not this, but stuck with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu has a deep-seated suspicion of hundreds of officials, and if he asks officials to collect grain, will there be a problem of filling his own pockets...... The childhood experience was too unfortunate, and in Lao Zhu's impression, there was no good thing in the official.

And there is a saying that Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult.

The local officials are all evil ghosts who eat human flesh, and they are the most hateful.

Unprecedentedly, the court meeting came down, and there was no discussion of the results.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang left Liu Chun behind.

The two of them arrived at the tea field again, needless to say, the weeds were quite high, Liu Chun took the initiative to pick up the hoe, hurry up and work!

Seeing Liu Chun busy with his work, his forehead was sweating, and Lao Zhu was in a better mood.

"You kid tell me the truth, am I wrong?"

"Hmmm! Your Majesty is indeed wrong! ”

Lao Zhu snorted, "You confess!" Hurry up and work for me! If there is a weed, I will turn back and cure you for the crime of deceit! ”

Liu Chun doesn't want to say anything, he is also unlucky to be a boss who is difficult to serve!

After working for an hour, Liu Chun got the three ridges of tea trees right.

As for Lao Zhu, he sat on the sidelines, watching him work, thinking about it in his heart.

"Liu Chun, you say, what's wrong with me?"

"Your Majesty, out of love for the people, you have set the system of grain chiefs. But you always ignore the risk and consumption of long-distance trafficking, a township in Nanzhili may be a grain area, and the grain chief needs to lead the servants, like ants, to send 10,000 stone of grain to the capital. On the road, how much do you have to lose? Should the grain chiefs make up for the shortfall, or should they let them collect more grain in advance? If someone dies, how will it be calculated? Is there any compensation? ”

"Then if you hand it over to the local yamen, will it be different?"

"The local yamen can organize fleets, use a large number of livestock, and even borrow soldiers and horses from the guards...... If something happens, the yamen can also compensate the people. Of course, the local yamen will also be corrupt and pervert the law, and His Majesty can just deal with it. ”

Lao Zhu took a heavy breath, "Well, I was indeed wrong!" Yoo Chun! ”

Lao Zhu suddenly became angry and pointed to a vegetable field not far away, "It's also yours there, before sunset, hoe me clean!" Otherwise, you will remain in the palace forever! ”
