Chapter 786: The Dispute (I)

In fact, the profit of sea escort is not so high, according to the silent promise, about half will be paid to the royal family.

The reason why Silence has always been supported and admired by the unruly former pirates is that he can always come up with a plan that benefits everyone. He has always believed in one thing, everyone makes money, so that the trade can last. Otherwise, those whose interests are damaged will definitely jump out and cause trouble. So his offer to Longqing actually included money for the big eunuchs to embezzle...... For the sake of real money, I hope they can toss as little as possible.

But this seemingly simple methodology, others can't learn it, because they can't be like Shen Mo, who has more than five hundred years of insight and knows what the future trend is, their eyes only stay in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't know how to find a new cake, so they can only put their efforts to save the country on 'eliminating malpractices' - Zhang Juzheng's economic reform, Shen Mo studied it in his previous life, and he was naturally shocked at that time. But as my knowledge grows, I am not as blind as I was a child. He knew that if there was no external pressure, it would be extremely difficult to carry out economic reform within a closed system. Because within this system, there are so many benefits that can be distributed, and each has long been returned to its owner, and if you want to engage in redistribution, you will inevitably damage those with vested interests, and your extra share will inevitably mean that others will lose one more point.

In this case, everyone will inevitably fight to the death, and vested interest groups often have first-mover advantages, deep-rooted, and strong energy, even if they are suppressed for a while, they can often catch up and turn defeat into victory. Therefore, any economic reform in a closed environment often ends in failure, and even if it seems to be successful, it is only because the original stakeholders have changed their identities and continue to eat people.

The silent mind is sober, and he knows that behind everything, there are interests at work. Whoever touches my cake, I will fight with whomever I want, this is the common aspiration of any interest group. He didn't want to hit the stone with an egg, he didn't want to learn from Zhang Juzheng, and openly touched the interests of those big landlords and big families, which could only end in failure.

Of course, he must still be touched, not only to move, but also to move in a big way, and to move earth-shattering, but not by relying on administrative means to power and hegemony, but to use the invisible hand of economic laws to take away the wealth of some people and achieve more nouveau riche. Unconsciously, the strong and weak are translocated, and when the old forces react, they are no longer able to return to the sky...... At least the two sides are ready for a war before such a reform makes sense.

How can we delay the outbreak of contradictions and give the emerging forces time to develop, Shen Default believes that in addition to sparing no effort to protect and support the emerging forces, we must not forget to seek benefits for the old forces -- the essence of all politics is the distribution of interests, and a good distribution method is that interests are evenly distributed, everyone has benefits, contradictions are naturally eased, and the time for the outbreak is naturally postponed. And there is no need to worry about this raising tigers, because most of the wealth in the hands of the old forces is squandered and stored, and it does not make them stronger.

Of course, if in a closed country, even if he has the power to reach the sky, he can't satisfy all the interest groups, but the providence of heaven has put him in the early stage of the Age of Discovery, looking at the world, there are enough gold and silver mountains to distribute to various interest groups, so he has given him the capital to constantly compromise and buy time.

Yes, time is of the essence, and the unprecedented inflow of silver will change for the first time the vicious deflationary currency abundance in China since ancient times, and will greatly change the way of social transactions and production relations, liberate the productive forces, release the consumption power, and then people's values and ideal pursuits, will also undergo earth-shaking changes. The tide of change is about to rise inexorably, the era of wealth expansion and materialism is coming, and the Ming Dynasty will either indulge in pleasure like two teeth, degenerate hopelessly, and finally go to self-destruction; Either they can use the wealth of heaven to complete the transition from an agricultural country to an industrial country like Britain, and continue to lead the world for 500 years

To the left, there is a glorious heaven, and to the right, there is a fallen hell, which is called the turning point of the times. In the last time and space, Da Ming had already failed once in hedonism, and now he is stepping forward from the beginning, how can he go down the old path again?

The great forerunner, thinker, and politician was silent and clumsy, and on the way back to the cabinet from the Qianqing Palace, he thought so with great excitement.

But as soon as he entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he immediately suppressed those crazy things in his heart, and returned to a cautious and low-key smile on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Entering the main hall, everyone had already packed up their things, finished the morning's work, smiled silently and embarrassedly, and went to the 'cafeteria' with them to eat...... Don't laugh, it's the cafeteria. And it is the same as the canteen that Shen Mo used to eat in his previous life. The state provides working meals for officials, which has a long history that can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, and was popularized and promoted by Tang Taizong, so it was customized, and the Tang Dynasty wrote the cloud: "Jingbaisi as for the county government of the world, if there is a Cao Agency, there is a public chef", even if the officials are the most picky, this benefit has not been canceled.

In addition to the 'heavenly kitchen' where the Son of Heaven entertained guests, the number is the political affairs hall kitchen in the prime minister's office, referred to as the 'hall kitchen', which is of the highest grade. And its dining place is called the 'canteen'. In the "Tang Hui Yao", it is said that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the prime ministers held a meeting to discuss the issue of reducing the food standard with the title of "Serving Delicious Soup in the Political Affairs Hall", but some people objected: "This sumptuous public meal is an expression of the emperor's special attention to the central cardinal affairs." If we are incompetent, we should resign ourselves to make meritocracy, and we do not have to ask for fame on the basis of reduction. So they boycotted.

Although there is no longer a prime minister in this dynasty, since the cabinet has been promoted to the center, the 'hall kitchen' has reappeared, and it is specially managed by the Honglu Temple, which is responsible for the emperor's meals, and the standard is naturally high enough. Of course, there are only a few university scholars who are eligible to enjoy the hall kitchen, and as for those who are Si Naolang and the people of the middle school, they eat 'Sashi Kitchen', which is naturally not so rich.

The cabinet canteen was changed from the apse of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the outer room was where Si Zhilang and the people of the middle school were eating, and at this time it was already full of people, while eating, while laughing and talking, seeing the scholars passing by the door, it was only a little quieter, and did not stop, and no one came out to say hello. This is also a major feature of canteen meals, who can still guarantee the appearance of a serious child when eating a working meal? Therefore, this is also the place where the etiquette rules are the most loose in the yamen, and it is regarded as a rare relaxation from top to bottom.

Entering the inner room, it is the place where the cabinet members eat, and the spacious room is covered with jacquard carpets, hanging scrolls of the former Song Dynasty, and placing porcelain vases from official kilns, which are very elegant and high-end. But the main place is always the rectangular table of pineapple wood. Seven sets of utensils have been set up in front of the seat, Xu Jie sat down on the main seat, and the rest of the people sat in left and right rows. At this point, the waiter began to serve the food with a tray...... According to the standard, each cabinet member spends fifteen taels of silver per month for food. With so much money, even if I go to the big restaurant every day to set up a table, it is barely enough. Seven people get together, even if they don't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, they can't eat it, so most of the food money will be embezzled by Honglu Temple.

Of course, the elders of the pavilion are worried about the world's major affairs, and they will not pay attention to these 'details and ends'. Only at this time can the elders relax the nerves that have been tense and talk and laugh softly. During the banquet, Chen Yiqin told Shen Mo that Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to share a room with Li Chunfang, so they could only partner up. It doesn't matter who you share a room with, and it doesn't matter if you're silent, and it's not a bed anyway...... However, Zhang Juzheng's attitude shows that it is impossible for him to be the same as before.

But this was all expected, and Shen Mo didn't take it to heart, what he was more concerned about was the performance of Xu Jie and Gao Gong. The latter is there to talk about the economic situation this year, and from time to time to ask others what they think. In comparison, Xu Ge Lao was much more silent, just concentrating on eating and drinking soup, and after a while, he was full of food and drink, and left the table.

Looking at the back of Xu Jie's departure, a happy smile appeared on Gao Gong's face, although it was very light, who were the people present? How could it escape their eyes, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, now the elder Gao Ge was going to raise his eyebrows...... The news that the emperor gave words to the four Yudi teachers is already well known, and the political signals revealed in it could not be clearer - especially the four words given to Gao Gong 'Qihong Yuanshi', Shoufu is also called Yuanfu, and the emperor gave 'Yuan' to Gao Gong, so how should Shoufu deal with himself?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sure enough, in the next few days, Gao Gong didn't even have the politeness on the surface to Xu Jie. Of course, it can't be simply classified as 'rampant' or something, but the difference in the personality and style of the two is too great...... Just like the officialdom commented, Huating is dedicated to Ren En, Xin Zheng is good at resentment, the former is a long-term eunuch, steady and round, and thoughtful in everything; The latter is devoted to state affairs, regardless of reputation, contradictions, and everything must be just-hearted. These two methods of handling things will inevitably produce a large number of contradictions, and once one of them no longer tolerates, the conflict will inevitably become public......

One of the most intense was the dispute over the Pang Shangpeng incident. On this day, the cabinet received a recital from the General Political Envoy, and it was the impeachment of Pang Shangpeng, the governor of Guangdong, Li Chunfang, who was in charge of reading such a recital, felt that the situation was serious, so he reported to Xu Jie: "Yuan Weng, all the elders, these days, the cabinet has received seven recitals, all of which were impeached by the imperial history of the governor of Guangzhou, Pang Shangpeng. ”

When Shen Mo three first entered the cabinet, they didn't have any specific tasks, and Xu Jie's request to them was to get rid of the original specific ministry affairs as soon as possible and establish an overall concept of dealing with problems, so what they had to do now was to observe and study. Hearing the words 'Pang Shangpeng', Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng raised their heads almost at the same time, because he was one of the two officials who piloted the 'One Whip Law'.

"What are they all charged with?" Xu Jie took off his glasses and did not answer the music in Li Chunfang's hand.

"Mainly because he forcibly cleared the acres of fields in various counties in Guangzhou, causing panic among the people, and the local gentry united to resist, and as a result, there was a conflict, and more than a dozen lives were lost, and the impact was very bad" Li Chunfang has summarized these songs, and said: "It is no wonder that the Cantonese imperial historians have all spoken a word, and they all impeached him......

Gao Gong interjected when he heard this: "You mean that the people who impeached him are all Cantonese imperial historians?" ”

"Yes." Li Chunfang nodded and said: "If this kind of thing happens in my hometown, there must be fathers and villagers who write to them to complain, and it is understandable that they are angry and write a letter for this." Li Chunfang has always been a group of harmony, but it doesn't mean that he has no opinions, he exonerates the Cantonese imperial history, and the words are his support for their impeachment of Pang Shangpeng.

"Didn't you say that Pang Shangpeng tried a whip method in Guangzhou?" Guo Pu looked strange and said, "Why did you start measuring the land again?" Did he generalize a whip? "How could he not know the reason, pretending to be ignorant just to connect the 'Qingzhang Tianmu' with the implementation of the 'One Whip Law', naturally someone followed his words. Sure enough, he listened to Gao Gong and said: "The so-called whip is to spread all taxes into the acres, if you want to implement a whip, of course, you must first measure the acres." ”

"......I see," Guo Pu said suddenly, "So, those gentry who oppose Qingzhang Tianmu are actually against a whip law?" ”

"Of course, they are afraid that once the tax is levied on the number of acres, many people will have to hemorrhage." Gao Gong mocked: "The family has thousands of acres of fertile land, but the tax paid by small farmers is less, this kind of good thing is going to be gone forever, and they naturally can't sit still." "No wonder the gentry objected. If according to the whip law, the land tax is levied according to the acreage, and the tax is no longer levied on the basis of households. All previous assessments, regardless of their name, were abolished. When this method is implemented, I am afraid that not only the big households will not be able to stand it, but even the officials of Guangdong Province will also hate this law very much. Because in this way, they can neither apportion, nor fill their pockets when they collect in kind.

Naturally, there is no shortage of grievances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After listening to the singing and harmony of the two generals, Xu Jie's face became gloomy, and he quickly coughed to cover up the past, and said in a calm voice: "Next year, the yuan will be changed, and the new dynasty will begin, we must spend it smoothly and make a good start to the new policy of Longqing." At this time, stability is overwhelming, the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals, thirteen provinces, hundreds of millions of people, we are still abiding by the constitution and incidents are occurring, and the situation is different? Said in a stern tone: "It's all like him, he doesn't abide by the constitution, he comes and goes, and the world is not in chaos" After a pause, he said: "I don't think this Pang Shangpeng has to do it, such a restless person is the seed of disaster for the country and the people, the old man suggested that he be dismissed on the spot, and he will never be used" Xu Ge's boss Dao Jinma showed his position, one is because he has no spokesperson, and the other is to suppress the back...... Of course, Gao Gong can't be suppressed, he just tells others to shut up.

As a result, not only did the rest of the people not object, but even Gao Gong took a few shots, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good"

"Gao Ge Lao also thinks that those imperial histories are impeached?" Li Chunfang looked at Gao Gong in surprise, and said in her heart, why did she suddenly change her sex?

He forgot the phrase 'the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change', and only heard Gao Gong sneer and say: "I didn't say that, I'm happy for those officials - if a whip law is implemented, they will have no chance to get up and down, and their financial routes will be cut off, so how can they spend all their days and wine to raise their little wives?" Now that we have removed Pang Shangpeng and restored the so-called 'Chengxian', I can feel how happy they should be, and I can't help but cheer for them. ”

"Hehe......" Li Chunfang was not angry, and said with a smile: "I see, but I will be wrong." But Gao Gong's spearhead pointed directly at Xu Jie, and he had to say two more words: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, too big a step is not good, and it is not good to be unconventional, then Pang Shangpeng is so impatient and willful, I am afraid that he is not a suitable candidate for the feudal official." ”

"What kind of person is suitable? Could it be those officials who do not want to make progress and blindly maintain themselves? Gao arched his neck and said sharply: "I have accumulated many evils, and the most acute contradiction is that the poor benefit the poor and the rich become rich, so that the people's grievances are boiling, and why is it so dangerous to the society?" It is because of the so-called constitution of the dynasty, full of loopholes, which makes it difficult for the small people to continue, and the gentry are greedy and excessive" paused: "Now that my Emperor Longqing is humble and ruling, he will entrust the state affairs to the government, which is a good opportunity for my generation to rejuvenate and reform and create a new situation."

Aren't you going to dismiss one? Then I will pay you back seven dismissals, this is called-for-tat, it depends on who is more ruthless.

"Seeing the wind and heard," Xu Jie frowned and said: "Even if it is not true, it should not be investigated, otherwise it will damage the righteousness of the imperial court."

Who knew that Gao Gong laughed and said: "Yuan Weng is really broad and gentle, and he is kind to both Chinese and foreign, why is he so tolerant of the officials, but he is particularly critical of those who are determined to reform?" ”——

There is a bridge section that should be used here, but I can't remember the details, and I can't find the book after checking it for a long time, so it's late, Sarui......
