Chapter 8: The New System

For our Emperor His Majesty Zhu Cihong, the money and grain allocated by the treasury to the inner treasury every year are enough for the Forbidden City, and there is still a surplus for the expenses of the Forbidden City. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As the proprietor of Hengxin Commercial Bank, Zhu Cihong has enough private wealth to give Emperor Taishang 500,000 taels to explore the North American continent with a wave of his hand.

You must know that for Zhu Youzhen, this amount of silver is likely to be the military expenditure of a 100,000-strong army for a year when he was in power.

But Zhu Cihong gave it casually.

Since Zhu Cihong is not short of money, he naturally does not need to expand his power to take money from the treasury. Without conflict, there will naturally be no struggle.

However, Zhu Cihong is going abroad.

That means that His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to handle state affairs in Beijing for a long time. The ministers obeyed the rules, so they naturally worked honestly, and no one approved those important political affairs, at most, they delayed things.

But the complexity of human nature made Zhu Cihong completely predict that once His Majesty the Emperor's prestige faded away from him for a long time and the distance was far away, someone would definitely make trouble.

Corruption, bribery......

For bureaucrats with enormous powers, it is too easy and simple to do bad things without doing them.

At this time, it was Zhu Cihong who replaced the emerging aristocracy and bourgeoisie in the course of history...... There is a need for checks and balances on government.

At this time, it is logical that Zhu Cihong, a particularly useful tool, will be taken out, and the effect will be outstanding.

Of course, for Zhu Cihong, he would not mention these things of the emperor's mind.

Zhu Cihong is simply talking about benefits. Order, openness, and efficiency.

For officials who have been immersed in the power field for decades, these points mentioned by Zhu Cihong can be described as a fresh spring breeze that purifies the Ming officialdom.

Although the officialdom has been reversed in recent years because of the accession to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor, a century-old stubborn disease cannot be changed overnight.

Examples of people dying are not uncommon.

However, the budget system can transcend the law of the death of people and the rest of the government. Because, this is the system. A proper system, like the six parts, is passed down from generation to generation.

First of all, the establishment of the budget system represents the value of order.

As mentioned above, Zhu Cihong used the budget system to control the government, but on the other hand, wouldn't the officials who were immersed in officialdom use the budget system to check and balance His Majesty the Emperor?

Now His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about money, it is His Majesty the Emperor who controls the court, but who knows what will happen next?

The establishment of the budget system represents a new order and the establishment of new rules. More importantly, because of His Majesty's approval, this means that such an order can obviously be restrained by His Majesty the Emperor. Although this order and rules were demarcated by Zhu Cihong, it must be beneficial to Zhu Cihong in every way. But since Zhu Cihong can be restrained, it is obvious that the next emperor can be restrained.

Moreover, since His Majesty the Emperor did not act arbitrarily and directly announced the operation of the budget system, he communicated with the ministers in advance. That obviously means they have a part to play.

In this way, it naturally makes everyone feel safe.

This means the solidity of order and the dignity of rules.

This is really advanced and progressive for the Chinese, who have too much respect for power.

As for the public effect, it was even more immediate.

Fear comes from the unknown, and misunderstandings mostly come from misunderstandings.

Once the budget system is established, it is clear that budget expenditures at all levels will also be made public. It's easier to be supervised.

As for efficiency, that's more straightforward. Not to mention anything else, the budget system cooperates with the clear definition of the country's rights, and internal friction such as prevarication can be greatly reduced, and the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

Understanding these benefits, Fu Shuxun's attitude quickly changed.

Soon, Fu Shuxun began to inquire in detail about the details of the construction of Zhu Cihong's budget system.

And Zhu Cihong is also very patient.

"I intend to convene a conference on the two major issues of the Ming Dingguo and the budget. In the future, I will still stay in the north and south of Beijing once every six months. During this time, the National Assembly will be held to approve state affairs. Similarly, a higher level of national state council is held every year. These important meetings, unless there are extreme circumstances, I will personally preside over them. Different levels of state affairs will be reviewed and approved at different levels. Among them, the budget will be reviewed and approved by me personally at the highest-level meeting held every year......" Zhu Cihong picked up a pen and paper and began to make a gesture.

Obviously, Zhu Cihong is putting on a layer of gold for the financial budget system, with high standards and naturally high-level legality.

Similarly, the budget is also an excellent way to promote the standardized management of the imperial court. The departments of the empire enjoyed their functions and powers in accordance with the laws of the country. In the same way, the division of authority between property and property can be perfected. Through the management and control of the budget, the blindness and arbitrariness of various departments are eliminated, and the management of the imperial court is more transparent, standardized and stable.

In this way, the division of budget resources according to the principle of "consistency between administrative power and financial power" will enable departments and bureaucrats at all levels to adapt to and match their own financial expenditures, division of responsibilities, and division of revenues, instead of acting arbitrarily and recklessly, leaving a huge deficit for the next person to either continue to conceal or fill the deficit that can hardly be completed.

"I also intend to establish a single account ...... the treasury"

"What Your Majesty said is that the financial revenue comes into his own door, and it is really too scattered."

"There is also the imperial court procurement system......"

"If this is the case, corruption and fraud can be greatly reduced, wonderful!"

"Improving the ...... of Budget Supervision"

"Of course, you can't set a budget arbitrarily. Inputs and outputs should also be considered, which is also to assess performance, and the rights and responsibilities are consistent......"

Zhu Cihong and Fu Shuxun come and go, most of the time it is Fu Shuxun who asks for advice, Zhu Cihong answers, and then Fu Shuxun or the rest of the officials praise one after another.

There are a few newly promoted newcomers who look at the white-haired Fu Shuxun and become more respectful the more they speak, but Zhu Cihong is chic and freehand, and they all feel that this world is really wonderful.

But in the same way, the more they heard Zhu Cihong talk about this, they were also emotional. In my mind, I thought of what Confucius said: "Those who are born to know ......"

Zhu Cihong is really a bit like the kind of person who was born to know.

Otherwise, how could there be such a whimsical idea, and more importantly, it still seems to be effective and powerful.

……

Zhu Cihong's explanation lasted until dusk, and everyone reluctantly left.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Zhu Cihong stood up and stretched. However, Zhu Cihong was very sharp-eyed to find that Li Banghua had been walking at the back of the crowd.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong understood something, walked over, and said side by side with Li Banghua: "Li Aiqing, it's so late now, let's have dinner with me." ”
