Chapter 661 The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
The Censorate's responsibilities are the court supervision agency, mainly responsible for the supervision of officials and impeachment work. As the left censor, Shi Yizhi is the top leader of the Censorate. Zhu Yicheng urgently asked him to enter the palace to be the issue of administration. Thinking of what Shi Yizhi said just now, Liao Huanzhi suddenly felt that his left eyelid was twitching violently, and subconsciously felt that something big was going to happen.
At the same time, Liao Huanzhi even thought of himself. He was not only the Chief Minister of Military Affairs, but also the Minister of Personnel. As the Minister of Personnel, he had great power in the court. You should know that the Minister of Personnel has always been called the Heavenly Official and could almost determine the appointment of most middle and lower-level officials. In other words, it is equivalent to the Minister of the Central Organization Department in later generations.
Once there is a big problem in Fujian because of the administration, then he, as a heavenly official, will definitely be the first to hit him. Thinking of this, and thinking about the latter sentence Shi Yizhi reminded him, Liao Huanzhi's sleepiness disappeared instantly, and replaced by strong uneasiness.
Soon, everyone entered the hall and stood in their own position. At this time, many people also discovered Shi Yizhi who was in the hall in advance, but everyone did not speak, just used various different eyes to communicate secretly, trying to find out the reason.
With the shout from the little yellow gate, the hall was silent, and then the head of the meeting, Zhu Yicheng, walked out from behind the hall.
Today, Zhu Yicheng obviously did not have a good rest, and his face looked extremely ugly, but his expression was filled with a solemnity and seriousness that he had never been before. Liao Huanzhi, who was standing in front, could clearly feel the suppressed anger from Zhu Yicheng's black face, just like the brief tranquility before the volcano erupted, which made him feel a little breathless.
With heavy steps, Zhu Yicheng walked to the throne. He did not sit down immediately as before, but stood there and glanced at the people in the hall with a sharp gaze. The eyes were as cold as substance, and finally fell on the several military ministers standing in the front row.
After a while, Zhu Yicheng sat down, and then the court officials naturally bowed. After the ceremony, the court meeting officially began.
The rhythm at the beginning is no different from the usual ones. They are the memorials of each department, and then discuss and decide the matters of the memorials. If they cannot be handled for a while, there will naturally be a little yellow gate keeping the matters of the matters and waiting for Zhu Yicheng and the Minister of Military Affairs to discuss before coming up with the results.
Because of the situation in the Central Plains and the North these days, many political affairs are related to these, but the court has set a general direction. In addition, the previous methods discussed by Liao Huanzhi and the military and the Ministry of Revenue have been discussed, although there are still some shortcomings, they can barely be solved.
At least with the implementation of the imperial court, the situation in these places has improved a lot, which is very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and this is also the common understanding of most officials.
But at today's court meeting, Zhu Yicheng's mind was obviously not on this. He only listened to some issues he was more concerned about on weekdays, and then simply dealt with it or handed it over to a certain department to follow up. As time went by, the court meeting quickly lasted for more than half an hour, but at this time Liao Huanzhi did not dare to neglect at all and looked at Zhu Yicheng's expression secretly.
When the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue reported the income of various maritime departments this month, Zhu Yicheng, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
"In recent years, with the opening of our trade in the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of overseas trade, the revenue of various market authorities has been increasing steadily. Now the monthly income is almost equivalent to the first year. I am very relieved about this!"
"The emperor's reputation is that the emperor's foundation for the emperor's ten thousand years and plans for the emperor's plan for the generations!" At this time, the ministers naturally wanted to flatter, and everyone immediately praised.
But Liao Huanzhi found that although Zhu Yicheng said comfortingly, his face was still dark and there was no sign of happiness at all.
"I took the destiny of heaven to gather righteousness to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After nearly ten years, my Han family went on one after another to fight in order to restore our Shenzhou. Heaven will never let down our Ming Dynasty and restore your country. Now the Qing Dynasty has lost the Central Plains, and the restoration of China is just around the corner." Zhu Yicheng suddenly sighed in front of everyone, and everyone listened to him quietly.
"Looking at the historical books, all dynasties and dynasties have been farming and governing the country, but the times have been changing. Although farming conforms to the words of the saints, it needs to change. Not to mention the distant words, just talk about why I fell to that point before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, because my Ming Dynasty emperor was absurd and stupid? Of course not! In those days, the emperor of Yizong was diligent in history books, but he was still powerless to turn things around. Why is this?"
Zhu Yicheng looked at everyone coldly: "The key is money! The court has no money, can't afford the soldiers from the Nine Borders, and cannot provide money and food for disaster relief. In addition, the Qing Dynasty was eyeing outside the pass, lying on my Ming Dynasty and sucking blood, which eventually led to my Ming Dynasty losing the world."
Although Zhu Yicheng's words did not reveal the real reason for the demise of the previous Ming Dynasty, they at least pointed out an important issue at that time, that is, the financial issue. Research on the demise of the previous Ming Dynasty, finance was one of the important reasons. If the finance was not broken, there would not be the cancellation of the post station, which led to Li Zicheng's unemployment and becoming a bandit, and eventually destroyed the Ming Dynasty.
"No farming is not stable, no business is not rich!" Zhu Yicheng continued: "Since my heart has the heart to restore wisdom, I have always thought about the reason why the Ming Dynasty would perish. This is also the reason why I supported the rural business policy after the restoration of the country. Now that our business in the Ming Dynasty is booming, the profits we make can not only strengthen the army and enrich the country, but also allow the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. This means that my decision is right and there is no mistake!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yicheng suddenly stood up, with a hint of coldness in his expression, and said coldly: "I originally thought that this would make the people of the world praise him. At the same time, I established a system of maintenance of integrity and improved the treatment of officials, so that court officials could not only live a decent life, but also avoid corruption. But I never expected that my kindness would be used by some people! These people do not think about the kindness of the emperor, do not fear the king's laws, nor do they think about the responsibilities of the herdsmen. They do their best to embezzle them, collude with officials and businessmen, and swallow the wealth of the court under my nose!"
Zhu Yicheng stretched out his hand and said to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue who had just reported: "What is the income of Fujian Province in the figures you just reported just now?"
"Go back to the emperor, I will pay 830,000 silver dollars in more than a month..." the right assistant minister said with a tough forehead.
"Eighty-three thousand... OK! What an eight-thirty-three thousand!" Zhu Yicheng suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the empty hall, and it took a while before gradually stopping.
"The opening of Ningbo at that time, the number was not reached at the beginning. Now, Fujian Province can earn 830,000 yuan in a month, which is nearly 10 million yuan a year. This amount is really good, haha, it's not bad..."
