Chapter 296: Starting the Atomic Bomb

A lecture that originally brainwashed the emperor became a popular science class. It has to be said that Yang Jingwei was very good at wrong kung fu.

The ministers seriously discussed with the emperor how to promote this new weighing instrument. However, obviously, when they encountered a big problem, they determined the weighing instrument and promoted it. So, should this inventor be rewarded? Give it some treatment? Otherwise, it would be obvious that the court would not just give an explanation if it was taken by others.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to reward Sun Liniang, the shopkeeper of Liulizhai. Otherwise, this weighing instrument will be afraid that it will be unfair and unsatisfactory!" Shi Fenglai stood up first. Since he surrendered to the emperor, it would be very thorough. Everyone knows that Sun Liniang is the emperor's woman. Now that he has such great contributions, in the future, Sun Liniang may not be sure to enter the palace to be the queen. Shi Fenglai decided to consider the emperor and formally carry Sun Liniang to the front desk to find a good opportunity for the emperor to accept people.

Shi Fenglai was originally very serious, but when he said it, the ministers who were promoting the weighting equipment were ambiguous again.

The hot eyes of the ministers, like a laser, really made Yang Jing's face feel feverish. I was really embarrassed to be so embarrassed that I couldn't speak.

"I believe that this matter should be taken seriously. Since you have made contributions and the country and made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, you should be rewarded, no matter whether he is a man or a woman." Shi Fenglai once again supported the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be rewarded, and it should be rewarded greatly to reflect my wiseness!"

"Your Majesty, I think that since you have made merit, you will definitely be rewarded."

Shi Fenglai was finally the chief minister. There were still a few people in the emperor's imperial party. At least, there were many people standing up and shouting for the emperor, so that the atmosphere could not continue to be awkward.

"Your Majesty, I think that if you have any merits, you must reward him. However, how should Sun Liniang reward him? As a woman, she is not good at being an official, but she is also an unmarried person. If you are an imperial wife, wouldn't it be inappropriate?" He Rutong, the Minister of Rites, raised a specific question, that is, Sun Liniang is not married yet. According to the imperial court's reward, women are usually given to the wife, and the imperial wife usually follows his husband's official rank. Obviously, this is a contradiction.

After the ministers, He Ru Chong, said the Minister of Rites, immediately turned their eyes to the emperor. It was obvious that the emperor was responsible for this matter. Obviously, it was impossible to give Sun Liniang a title such as an imperial concubine. Where would the emperor be placed in that way? What are the guys they still want to have a meal?

Yang Jingqian felt that this matter was indeed a bit troublesome.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty likes Miss Sun, why don't you invite Miss Sun into the palace? In this way, isn't it a good idea?" Shi Fenglai continued to be the revolutionary brick, and he moved wherever the emperor needed it. When things got to this point, Shi Fenglai felt that it would be better to just say it, it's better to say that Sun Liniang has become a concubine, and the issue of reward is no longer a problem.

After the matter was revealed, the ministers laughed even more "unscrupulous" and "unscrupulous". Everyone understands that men ask for concubines.

"Oh... it's not that I don't want to invite Li Niang to the palace, it's that she refuses! I have no choice." Seeing that the matter had already started, Yang Jie was not so embarrassed, but talked about it openly.

"Your Majesty,... no, how could this happen? Your Majesty wants to coax you more, and women are the most happy to coax you. As long as your Majesty coaxes, I believe Miss Sun will obediently listen to Your Majesty's words."

"That's it! Your Majesty, what kind of morality is this? As Your Majesty's woman, how can she show up outside? Your Majesty should coax Miss Sun into the palace. It won't take long to give birth to a son and a half of his daughter for Your Majesty. Isn't it better to be a magnificent than a businessman?"

"Your Majesty, please invite Miss Sun into the palace as soon as possible. The palace is prosperous. I think Miss Sun will like life in the palace. Wouldn't it be a long way to open a shop?"

"Your Majesty, I'm right, this minister has experience..."

"Your Majesty, I think, why don't Your Majesty carry Miss Sun into the palace with a sedan chair? Once you enter the palace, it will be difficult to go out. Your Majesty loves you very well..."

Speaking of things that men like to hear, the ministers lost their appearance as ministers, and they gave advice to the "young" emperors, looking very experienced, ambiguous, and salivating.

Yang Jing looked at the old people with laughter and cry and gave him some advice. What the hell is this! He originally wanted to make trouble at the lecture and twist the building of the lecture, but unexpectedly, these old sluts actually turned their building.

Wang Chengen looked at the fact that all the ministers were no longer like that. Seeing the guards around and even the eunuchs were not in a good shape, the emperor looked even more embarrassed and embarrassed, and had to cough.

"Ahem..."

The scene finally calmed down, and Wenhua Palace was like a place to deal with political affairs. The ministers who were still playing with ambiguous things just now immediately changed their expressions and became extremely serious again.

"If Li Niang doesn't enter the palace, don't talk about this matter, think of other ways." Yang Jingwei said.

There is a big difference between the Ming Dynasty and other dynasties, that is, the emperor's wife, empress, or other concubines have always been small families, poor families, and very low-class backgrounds. Unlike many dynasties, emperors and princes, marriages are a political transaction.

For example, the empress of Chongzhen was born in a poor family, and her father was said to be a fortune teller; Concubine Tian’s father was a businessman, and her stepmother was a woman in the world; there was even an emperor marrying a divorced woman, and it was completely normal for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to marry a pig slayer's daughter. Therefore, this is a big weirdness of the Ming Dynasty and a strange thing. It is impossible to imagine that other dynasties will be left, so there is a saying that there will be no relatives in the Ming Dynasty.

The ministers had no choice but to be granted imperial edicts and the master refused to bring people into the palace. What should I do?

"Who said that the title cannot be granted? The wife of the imperial edict cannot be granted. Can't it be granted an imperial edict? The officers and soldiers of Qin Liangyu of our dynasty are just female generals, why can't Miss Sun be granted?" A minister suddenly revealed an unpopularity.

"This is different. The officers and soldiers of the Qin general led the army to attack the officials of his husband's family according to the local officials. Therefore, even if they were granted an official and became the imperial court official, there are traces to be found, which is an exception." A minister immediately refuted.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with it. It is true that the officers and soldiers of the Qin family attacked the official position of the husband family. However, the official position of the husband family is just a small local official and an envoy. Now, Qin Liangyu, the old lady of Qin, is a real power chief officer and soldier, the chief officer and the assistant chief officer, and even the second-rank official uniform. It has set a precedent for women to become officials. If this is the case, why is Miss Sun's reward? I think it is not necessary to get rid of the wife, just get rid of the wife and directly entrust it with the imperial edict. Why do you have to worry so much? As long as you have made contributions to our Ming Dynasty, the court, and the people, there are so many rules there? There has always been a saying that "women are not as good as men", and there are previous examples to follow, and rewards are fine."

This person said that Yang Jing's heart was in his heart.

"Yes, notes, I love to hear these words. I have heard of Mrs. Qin's deeds since I was a child and admire Mrs. Qin very much. As long as I have made contributions to my Ming Dynasty, my emperors of the Ming Dynasty will not be stingy, nor will they discriminate against women. Those who should be rewarded will be awarded, and those who should be promoted will be promoted."

The emperor's words involved several generations of emperors, which made the ministers who wanted to argue a few words shut up. It is an indisputable fact that Qin Liangyu was respected by three emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He has received rewards from the previous two emperors, and in the mind of the current emperor, he has a status. He specially recruited Beijing to defend the capital. It is not difficult to get an official position. Since she is the benchmark, it is better to accumulate some virtue to avoid the embarrassment of meeting officials in the future.

The ministers were no longer so opposed.

"I think it is better to grant a seventh-rank rank scattered official to the Chief Secretary. This not only reflects the magnanimity of Your Majesty and the court, but also has no conflict with the current official system. Miss Sun does not need to go out to be an official. Therefore, I think, Your Majesty, this scattered official is very suitable for Miss Sun." The chief minister Shi Fenglai tried every means to speak for the emperor and fight for the emperor to the end.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I also think it is more appropriate to grant a single official. Our dynasty is based on the official position, which may not be suitable for Miss Sun. Therefore, giving a single official without a specific official position is just in line with Miss Sun. It can not only reflect the magnanimity of the court and the wisdom of Your Majesty, but also enable Miss Sun to receive rewards, both." He Rutong, the Minister of Rites, also stood up and spoke for the emperor. This matter is from a fair perspective. A weight and measure weighing instrument was replaced by a seventh-rank scattered official. This can only be said that a woman was at a disadvantage. The weighing instrument was the past tripod! It is a heavy weapon associated with national destiny and legal principles. The ancient saying goes to the Central Plains of the Ding, and now it is the role of these weighing instruments at that time.

"Your Majesty, I agree..." Some ministers also agreed with this proposal. In the Ming Dynasty, the scattered officials were nothing, they were just a little honor, without any real power, and had no impact on the current system. It was indeed a good choice to use them to send people.

"Your Majesty, I agree, but I think that Miss Sun is a woman and has the merit of giving weight and weight. Therefore, I think that Your Majesty should give Miss Sun some privileges, such as those who meet officials do not need to kneel down and worship..." The people of the Imperial Party were not vegetarians, and immediately gained benefits for the emperor.

"Okay! Then do it like this. Give it a seventh-rank scattered official and don't accept it when he sees it." Yang Jing settled down with the trend.

Other ministers also thought that they had not heard of it. A dispersed official has no official position and has no interference or influence on the current official system. They do not kneel down. That is because she is the emperor's woman. If you ask her to kneel down, it is equivalent to asking the concubines in the palace to kneel down to you. What are your behaviors?

"My emperor is wise." All the ministers visited together. Only then did the wrong behavior of the sutras was curbed.

The thermometer and reward matter came to an end.

Yang Jing was thinking again that maybe it was time to start that matter. That matter would definitely be a nuclear explosion in the Ming Dynasty, and a major event that changed the direction of history in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, it would be the time.

"Everyone, today, I have something to say." Yang Jie cleared his throat and was about to start that matter.

When the ministers saw the emperor talking, they stood up immediately and ended the conversation.

"Recently, relief expenditures have been huge, and wars have occurred everywhere. Not to mention the distance, just a few days ago, I sent a brigade of elite troops to Shaanxi to suppress civil unrest. Today, I received news again. The joint agreement with Lin Danhan all requires military use. Once the military is used, you also know that expenditures are a bottomless pit, and I feel pressure! My treasury is gradually exhausted, so I want to tell you that I want to find a way to supplement some treasury. Otherwise, if you have no money in the war, wouldn't it be a disaster?" Yang Jingwei said.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed immediately. The treasury was exhausted. What did the emperor do? Obviously, they wanted to make extra money! There were not many places that the emperor could make, and the most common ones were tax increases. For example, mining tax, commercial tax, etc. These were the prohibited bans of the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, and no one could move them, and even the emperor was no exception.

This time, Shi Fenglai didn't dare to stand with the emperor anymore. This was an enemy of the entire officialdom! Shi Fenglai shrank his neck, and the summer was scorching, and he felt his neck was a little cold.

The ministers all shrank their heads and no one made a sound.

"You can tell me, what is the best deal that can increase my income from the treasury? I urgently need money to fight. If I don't have money, I'm afraid that this battle will not be achieved." Yang Jingwei said again.

Everyone never believed that the emperor would have no money to fight, but only believed that the emperor wanted to get some money from somewhere. The most likely thing was that the emperor wanted to collect taxes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Liulizhai is making money every day, how can you be short of money? Your Majesty is joking." A minister Qiqiai Ai said what everyone was thinking. The emperor would be short of money, that's really a ghost. Everyone is still counting on the emperor to send money to everyone. It is said that he had saved five or six million taels of silver in the bank. Is there no money? Go and cheat the ghost.

"Haha, although Liulizhai can make some money, it can't withstand wars everywhere! When fighting, it means burning money, no matter how much money you have, it's not enough to spend! Mao Wenlong wants silver, Yuan Chonghuan wants silver, and Lin Danhan also wants silver now. The soldiers in the border areas need silver, and military pay is needed. The capital needs protection, which also requires silver. Shaanxi wants to suppress civil unrest, and even more, and disaster relief. I won't talk about this... What I mean is that I want to charge a little commercial tax and rectify the commercial tax well to alleviate the pressure on my treasury. When the soldiers go to war, they won't be able to pay silver!" Yang Jingwei was ready to open up nuclear weapons in the late Ming Dynasty.

Although everyone knows the emperor's accounts, everyone still doesn't believe in the emperor. If you don't have money, you still fight everywhere? If you don't have money, who will believe it? You just want to find an excuse to collect taxes. To put it bluntly, you just want to find an excuse to scrape off us and look at the emperor with caution.

"Your Majesty, don't compete with the people for profit! If Your Majesty increases commercial tax, it will definitely lead to the prosperity of all things and will definitely hurt the people! The people are the foundation of our dynasty. Your Majesty, don't increase commercial tax!" A minister jumped out and wailed.

Yang Jing sneered in his heart, knowing that you would say this, you guys, can't you say anything else? A tax agency in the tea production place charges me a few taels of silver for tea tax a year. How can you fucking the worries of tea hurt the people? Can ordinary people afford tea?

"Hey..., why don't you collect taxes? The land tax cannot be increased anymore. The Ministry of Revenue is a poor person. My treasury is about to be exhausted. Can war be suspended? Can mining taxes be collected? Or other? The Maritime Bureau's Department can do it?" Yang Jing put forward several tax items. During the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor sent eunuchs to collect taxes, which eventually led to death. Because of this, Wanli was criticized by literati. In fact, on average, Wanli only collected more than 400,000 taels of tax per year, and it was not collected for a long time. For an empire with a population of over 100 million, it can only be said to be drizzling. Four hundred thousand taels of silver were spread to everyone. In fact, only a few cents were really hurt. Faced with huge commercial profits, this little money was not worth mentioning at all.

"Your Majesty, if there are many disasters today, the people in the world are already poor. It is time to nourish the vitality of the world. Your Majesty should not collect more taxes, because you should think of ways from other places."

"Since commercial tax is not good, it is for the people to compete for profit and harm the people, then I will be fine for the mining tax. In recent years, the mining tax has not been collected very seriously. Now, it is the time when the country urgently needs money. It can be collected to alleviate the tension in the court. The mining tax has nothing to do with the common people and will not hurt them. Just collect the mining tax. If the mining tax is collected, I can share it with the Ministry of Revenue. Haha, how about it?" Yang Jing said in a joke.

All the ministers were all bowing their heads. Is this pit class so easy to run? The one who opened a pit and mined, wasn’t the powerful? The one who had no background? The person who collected taxes was beaten to death did not know that the tax was beaten to death, and he still collected taxes? Besides, tax collection is to pluck our hair from us. The bureaucrats all kept silent and responded to the emperor in silence. This mining tax was not only unavailable, but also unavailable.

"Don't speak? That's not OK? Since the mining tax is not OK, then add the tariffs on the Maritime Bureau to rectify the tariffs. What about? This not only has nothing to do with the people, but also has nothing to do with the people under the Ming Dynasty. This should be fine this time, right?" Yang Jing asked with a slight smile. This is all preparing to start the atomic bomb.

The ministers were silent again. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, a large number of people made profits. The officials did not invest any money in it. They collected taxes from here, just to cut us off! Why did the ministers break the Maritime Warehouse Department? Isn’t it just to make more money? Reorganizing the Maritime Warehouse Department is definitely not OK.

"What's wrong? No one is talking about it? There is another saying in this commercial tax. It's not to compete with the people for profit. But in this mine tax, the tariffs of the Maritime Bureau have nothing to do with the people, right? Don't you say it?" Yang Jing said with a sneer, mocking his ministers in a mocking tone.
Chapter completed!
