Chapter 239 Give Li Zicheng a salary increase, set a fishery
Chapter 239: Pay Li Zicheng to make a fishery
May 16.
Early in the morning, Yang Jie got up and wrote down the information he found last night. He got a lot of information about the fishing industry yesterday. He had an understanding of the fishing industry and came up with a good idea.
Now, the ministers have long been used to the habits of the emperor today. They only go to court at the pm. This kind of life is really easy. It is far from the same as before. They have to get up from the warm bed just after midnight. When they encounter the cold winter month, they have to stay in the snow for a few hours. They are not as comfortable as they are now. They fall in love with this kind of work and rest time. Of course, some old antiques must mutter a few words, saying that the emperor is lazy and hates labor.
Today is the day of the morning court. The ministers came to Taihe Gate as usual and prepared to attend the morning court. However, the emperor temporarily postponed the morning court.
There is a row of corridors in the square on the west side of Taihe Gate. It was originally used for the "Da Ming Hui Dian", but now there are several remote rooms, as a place for court officials to organize their appearance before going to court, and it is also a place to rest temporarily.
In front of this corridor, there is a large mirror, which is specially designed for the ministers to organize their own appearance. It is considered to be a trendy person in the palace, and it is also the emperor's plan to promote the dressing mirror.
Guo Yunhou is the Minister of Revenue. However, he was a coward, and the emperor didn't know what he wanted to do. He didn't like him. He didn't discuss many things with him. Instead, he discussed with his subordinates. This made him very angry. He thought that the money he had obtained from the Ministry of Revenue was tens of millions of taels a year, but he was very unwilling to leave this position and was also very annoyed. However, if he was a minister for others and others didn't like him, there was nothing he could do.
Guo Yunhou was staring in front of the mirror, and a minister came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, the weather is good today!"
Guo Yunhou was worried and responded dryly: "Haha, that's good!"
"Haha, this mirror is good! It's big and bright, and the person is clearly visible. It's really a good baby." The official said casually.
"Yes! This big mirror is really a treasure. It is perfect to use it to organize its clothes and appearance." Guo Yunhou also sighed. This mirror is only a few hundred taels. In this capital, there are great officials and nobles. If anyone does not have such a big mirror, they will be embarrassed to go out. They will dress and look so grand that they will look grand.
The official who was talking said, "Haha, I heard that the quality of your Majesty's silver coins this time is quite high, and it is close to the quality of silver. Haha, Your Majesty is so kind that he makes coins with sterling silver really convenient for the people of the world! It is really a rare good policy to avoid the suffering of using scattered silver in the world!..." The official said this headlessly.
Guo Yunhou was thinking about his thoughts, but when he heard others say this, he casually said: "Haha, it all depends on His Majesty's wiseness..."
The official continued, "Haha, Lord Guo is also amazing! I think Lord Guo shouted in the court and called hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue. I really admire him!"
Guo Yunhou was trying hard to ease his relationship with the emperor. When he heard this guy reveal his scar, he was very angry. However, it was not wrong that others said nothing. It was indeed his shouting at that time that he called hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue. He was really annoyed that the emperor only treated his subordinates and discussed everything with his subordinates, but did not like him. At that time, it was just a fire that was inflicted on his name, and now he regretted it again.
Guo Yunhou couldn't understand why the emperor didn't like him. Guo Yunhou was ready to ease the relationship between the emperor and himself. This money was all over the Ministry of Revenue, and 200,000 taels, but he also knew that this effect was not great because the emperor didn't make much money, but the money was very large. Even the 200,000 taels he got with all his strength was a drop in the bucket for the money. Guo Yunhou looked in the mirror and stared at the mirror, not thinking about the guy who had just exposed his scars.
The official surnamed Zhao who was talking to Guo Yunhou had no reaction when he was ridiculed by Guo Yunhou, and felt it was boring. While he went there, everyone in the court knew that the emperor had something to discuss with the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he did not discuss it with the minister. However, when the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Guo Yunhou, shouted in the morning, and called hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue. Can such a person stay in the court? Everyone was guessing how long Guo Yunhou could do it? There is a powerful character below. The emperor above didn't like it and even destroyed the emperor's wealth. Such a person could not stay in the position of the Minister of Revenue for a few days.
The ministers only stayed here for a while, and then they received news that the emperor came to the morning court and lined up to go to the morning court.
Taihe Gate.
Everything was as usual, and after kowtow, formal discussions began.
There is really nothing big to discuss today. Nowadays, the big thing is disaster relief and the imperial envoy for disaster relief has been decided. Other small things do not need to be taken to the morning court to discuss.
Seeing that everyone was not speaking, Yang Jie said, "Can the Minister of War be there?"
"I'm here." Liu Yanyuan, Minister of War, stood up.
"I ask you, can the post station be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War?" Yang Jie asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, that's right." Liu Yanyuan was very surprised. The emperor asked what he did?
"Oh. I ask you, is it hard to be a postman?"
"Report to Your Majesty, it's really hard..." Liu Yanyuan didn't know what the emperor was going to do. Isn't this nonsense? Who is involved in the soldiers? Who is not hard? I didn't see anyone with the soldiers? It's so refreshing to see someone who is involved in the soldiers.
"Yes! I also feel it's hard. I have issued a lot of documents in the past few days, and I use 700 miles to speed up. I think, can this person stand it if he can run 700 miles a day?" Yang Jinge said.
The minister below almost laughed out loud. Others just ran away to death. What does it have to do with you, the emperor? Is it your Majesty that you are still going to try how these seven hundred miles came out?
Liu Yanyuan was so embarrassed. It was really a bit like discussing such things with the emperor - it felt like playing house with a child. Why was the emperor's idea so naive?
"Your Majesty, it is really tiring to run 700 miles. However, these 700 miles were not run by one person, but there were post stations to relay. Each post station had a distance of thirty miles, 100 miles, and 20 miles. In this way, the 700 miles were shared with dozens of people to run, and it was not so tiring." Liu Yanyuan couldn't say what happened to His Majesty the Emperor, so he had to hold back his smile and explain to the emperor.
"I know this, but I still feel it's not easy. Although everyone only runs dozens of miles at a time, if you need to run too many times, it will definitely be very hard! Liu Aiqing, do you think so?"
Liu Yanyuan couldn't understand why the emperor told him this, so he said, "Report to Your Majesty, this is the case."
"...I have sent hundreds of letters in the past few days, and I have to use seven hundred miles to speed up. I suddenly thought, these postmen must have worked very hard!"
"Your Majesty, that's right." Liu Yanyuan was no longer able to answer the emperor's words. What's the difference between this and a child playing house? How did the emperor think of one thing one thing? He usually looks at the emperor, and he is quite smart! Why do you think about the same problem as a child now?
Yang Jie paused and said, "Through this incident, I suddenly felt that our dynasty is now going to do relief and immigration far beyond the predecessors. Moreover, military wars are common in border areas. I think the amount of letters, government affairs and emergency military intelligence transmission will definitely increase dramatically. I wonder if you have to add some subsidies to the postmen at the post station? In this way, you can better convey the court's emergency government affairs and military affairs, and not mislead things?" Yang Jie decided to pay Li Zicheng.
Outsiders will never know what the emperor is thinking or what he wants to do. They just think that the emperor's idea is very naive, and they know that the emperor is interfering in history and saving his own life.
When everyone saw the emperor saying this, they felt that something was reasonable. Originally, some ministers were worried that the emperor would be in trouble for the post station, but now it seems that it should not be, but to increase the money. Many ministers thought it was very strange. The emperor did not say that the expenses of the post station were reduced, but instead said that the post station would be added. No, the post station would be added.
Liu Yanyuan was not smart enough. The post station was a dark hole. Everyone knew that the emperor had to add money to it. I have to say that the emperor was still a little tender and didn’t know what the emperor was thinking. However, the words were another: "Report to Your Majesty, this is true. Now the number of emergency government affairs and emergency military information transmission is increasing day by day. If Your Majesty wants to increase the salary to the post station, I agree." This kind of good thing of sharing money is for nothing. It can be kept a little. Liu Yanyuan immediately agreed to the emperor, although the emperor is very funny and naive on this issue.
"Then I ask you, how much does this station cost every year now?" Yang Jingwei asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, one million taels." Liu Yanyuan said.
"Well, then add 10%, mainly for express delivery at the post station. Don't use past receptions. Do you understand?" Yang Jing decided to add 10% of the fee to the post station on the basis of not eliminating the post station. He hopes that Li Zicheng will not lose his job and love the profession of postal staff more.
Liu Yanyuan felt that his head was short-circuited. After hearing what the emperor said, Liu Yanyuan felt that the emperor knew the tricks of the station in reception, and was not as naive as he understood. However, he still had to add money to the station. Isn’t this a fight with meat buns to beat the dog?
"I obey the order." Liu Yanyuan agreed.
Guo Yunhou's trouble came. The emperor wanted to add money to the post station, 100,000 taels. Now he went to find 100,000 taels from that place? The only 200,000 taels were all given to the emperor as a mint. He had to bite the bullet and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the court has launched a large-scale disaster relief, and the Ministry of Revenue has no money to allocate!" There is also a bigger problem. The emperor's meaning was to add money to the post station's post station. But the problem came, if the post station was added, the others would not add money? I don't know how many people in the world have the title of "pawn". Where does this money come from? Guo Yunhou felt that his plan to ease the conflict between the emperor was probably going to fail, because he had to pay from the emperor's wallet again, and the emperor would definitely not like him even more.
"I will pay this money. The money must be allocated immediately and not delayed." Yang Jie originally planned to pay this money himself, just to use this money to stabilize Li Zicheng, hoping that the small money can do big things.
"I obey the order." Guo Yunhou agreed, a little dejected.
The morning court of this day was basically over.
After leaving the court, Yang Jingxiang said to Wang Chengen: "Great companion, go and invite Master Xu and the two deputy officers to Wenhua Palace, and call Qin Yaozu on to the fishing industry. I want to do this fishing business and let Qin Yaozu take those boat samples." Yang Jingxiang wants to continue what he did not complete yesterday.
"I obey the order." Wang Chengen agreed and then went to find someone.
Yang Jiexing first came to Wenhua Palace and began to read his own information.
The first ones were Xu Guangqi and several other imperial envoys, and then Qin Yaozu, who also brought his ship samples of all sizes.
Said a ritual.
Yang Jingcai said: "I have summoned several people to discuss yesterday's affairs. Regarding fishing, I have already had a preliminary idea. Please listen."
No one said anything, but what the emperor said.
"I have combined the opinions put forward by several people and came up with such a way. The court invested in the construction of various fishing boats and recruited victims to fish and save themselves; one or several large and small fishing boats formed into a fishing team; local fishermen and disaster victims mixed together; disaster victims invested with their strength, and local fishermen also used their strength to invest with their fishing technology, each accounting for a certain proportion. The amount of force is determined by the amount and the fishing technology is determined by the court again. Each fishing boat and fishing team only needs to complete the quota of the court. The excess part will be punished by the fishermen and disaster victims according to the investment. What do you think?" Yang Jing briefly said his plan.
This plan has been thrown out, and several people have begun to ponder.
Xu Guangqi, a fishery expert among these people, first asked: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, the victims, the fishermen, and the court each own a certain share. How many shares do they own? How many are they payable to the court? It is easy to understand that there are many people in the countryside who invest with their own share, either farming or opening mountains. The income is based on the previous agreement. After each of them gets the income, he will become the boss, and he will work hard and gain more. This minister can understand. What I am not understanding is that Your Majesty seems to have intentionally allowed these victims to stay in the local area and become fishermen, and he does not want them to surround the lake to build fields!" Xu Guangqi asked all the core questions.
"Haha, it doesn't matter how many shares the court holds. What's important is that the court needs to catch fish to rescue disasters. This proportion needs to be determined after understanding the situation in the local area. It's not easy to make a conclusion now. There are more fishermen and disaster victims who suffer losses and no one goes fishing. If there is less, the court's relief cannot keep up, so much money is wasted. This, let's discuss this specifically when you arrive at the local area. I only give a bottom line. I hope the court's proportion will not exceed half. It's best to do so.
In less than 40%, haha, I really want those fishermen to stay in the local area. Master Xu thought that this natural disaster lasted for several years and finally let the victims learn to fish. Could it be that they would let them farm and find another group of novices to learn to fish? Isn’t this a waste? Therefore, my plan is to let the victims who learn to fish stay in the local area and continue to fish. In this way, there will be a relatively stable harvest. This disaster relief is more reliable." Yang Jing told his plan.
"I understand." Xu Guangqi replied.
"I'll say something more. The fish caught by fishing boats or fishing teams are paid to the court. The court is mainly used for disaster relief. It does not require fish with high economic value. It only needs to be able to fill its stomach. What it requires is weight. The victims have no right to be picky. If they have economic value, they can sell them on their own, such as shark fins. This must be explained to the fishermen and the victims." Yang Jing instructed that this was the fruit of Yang Jing's labor that he had done all night yesterday. The investment was to mobilize the victims.
After all, having your own boat is considered a proletariat. Allowing local fishermen to invest is to ease the confrontation between the victims and the local fishermen and obtain fishing skills. The court does not occupy the majority, for the fishermen. The victims have the spirit of ownership and motivation to catch more fish. After all, they are working for themselves. The more they get, the more they earn. The court does not have high economic value. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they are considered to be the need.
"Your Majesty's Holy Virtue." Xu Guangqi had to say good things about the emperor when facing such a noble and noble emperor. There is no more generous emperor than the current one.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty's wiseness."
The other people were not willing to be outdone and flattered them one after another.
"Haha, is Master Xu familiar with the cost of fishing boats?" Yang Jie asked.
"Your Majesty, you still know it, but it has not been involved in this matter for many years, and it is a bit vague. I vaguely remember that the sampan is usually about ten taels, and it is divided into sizes; yellow croaker boats are much more, and they are also divided into sizes, ranging from dozens to hundreds of taels. No matter how big it is, there are hundreds of cars." Xu Guangqi was not very clear about this data, so he could only say a rough idea.
Yang Jing thought about it and said, "In this way, take the yellow croaker boat as an example. According to the 100 taels, he will build two thousand ships first, which is only 200,000 taels of silver. Master Xu decided by himself. As for the big ship, Master Xu decided by himself. I would not interfere much. The money for the shipbuilding is considered an extra, not counting as a disaster relief fund. I will give you 300,000 taels first. If you have less, then ask me for it. I have only one requirement. To place more victims, catch more fish, and provide more food for more people. I hope my people will suffer less hunger. I have said that I will never abandon a person. I hope you can remember my words." Yang Jing checked the ancient shipbuilding records and found that this ancient shipbuilding, especially the imperial shipbuilding, was also very vigorous. He built thousands at a time without blinking an eye. Of course, the ship was not big, and it was still a canal ship on the inland river.
"Hiss..." Everyone was secretly talking when they heard the emperor's words. "It's only 200,000 taels of silver," and only 2,000 ships at one time. This courage is indeed great enough. The emperor is very refreshing and very consistent with the emperor's identity.
"Your Majesty's holy virtue..." Xu Guangqi was moved by the emperor and thought to himself that he would die to repay His Majesty's knowledge and trust.
"Your Majesty's Holy Virtue..."
"Your Majesty's holy virtue, never give up, never give up..." Zhou Yanru shouted.
Everyone was moved by the emperor's pleasure and by the emperor's attitude towards their own people.
