Chapter 431 I will give advice to the chief assistant

At this moment, the officials of the staff were discussing various situations in the land clearing in various places with Zhang Juzheng.

At the end, everyone began to explain the pressure and grievances in the farmland.

So the bowing meeting became a complaint meeting.

A courtier said: "Yuan Fu, last month, Xiaguan Shangben impeached Hao You, his hometown, to hide 300 acres of land, but Hao You angrily said that I don't miss the hometown, and spread rumors in his hometown to slander my reputation. He even used the excuse to slame my son on one leg."

One person said, "Yuanfu, I set an example and wrote a letter to Yu'er that he would not allow his relatives to send to the land in a strange way. However, when the relatives learned about it, they scolded me for forgetting my ancestors and were not worthy of being the descendants of the same clan again. They... they actually removed my grandfather's spirit card from the ancestral hall!"

Lin Yanchao also thought to himself that the pressure on clearing the land of Zhangzhang was really great. The royal family, honorary relatives, and officials opposed it. Even his hometown and the same clan were offended, and in the end he became a lonely man.

Faced with the grievances and complaints among the people, Zhang Juzheng said: "Everyone, I know your grievances. But today we are scolded for not being scolded by others for the sake of not being scolded by others for the rest of the world. You also know that there is land and wealth, and the taxes are from the fields. The imperial relatives, ministers, nobles rely on their favor to ask for land, officials and right-wing officials collude with the government to spread, flowers are divided, and the taxes are exempted from taxes. The taxes can only be distributed to the people, and the small households are weak and difficult to support, so the whole family flees. The uneven taxes and labor are spread all over the world. Since Hongwu to Hongzhi 140 years, the land in the world has been reduced by half. If the move of clearing the cemetery will not be used in ten years, the country will have no money available, and the country will be lost in ten years!"

Zhang Juzheng's words suppressed the audience, and everyone in charge calmed down.

Zhang Juzheng glanced across the audience and said, "The fact that the Qingzhang has been in his position for a hundred years. I must do it for a hundred years. I must take all the responsibility. But please think about the plan of the people of the country and the people of the country and do the Qingzhang to the end. I beg you here!"

After saying that, Zhang Juzheng bowed to the ministers in the hall.

Lin Yanchao was listening and couldn't help but be moved. Zhang Juzheng's incident of clearing the land of Zhang Juzheng was full of curses across the country. Didn't he know? Of course, Zhang Juzheng knew that with his current power and status, if he did not force this government, how comfortable it would be for him!

A three-foot-foot boy, with a haircut and a study, ten years of hard work, passed the Jinshi, was ranked first in the official position, and had the highest position as a minister. What else do you want?

In most people, living a lifetime like this is enough, but Zhang Juzheng did not.

When he was young, Zhang Juzheng became a Jinshi and became an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Whenever he met the salt officials, passers-by, and stationed horses, he returned to the court. Zhang Juzheng brought a pot of wine to ask questions, ask for benefits and disadvantages, and because of the profit and loss of the reform, the greed and integrity of the matter.

After returning home, Zhang Juzheng took a bonnet and studied it carefully, working hard. Today, when he was the most powerful minister, he manipulated power, suppressed dissent, and even had no personal morality, and almost had three sons and three tripods. However, Zhang Juzheng did not forget his ideals, and the scholars pursued governing the country and pacifying the world.

Clearing the land of Zhangzhang means governing the country and pacifying the world.

There was only one prime minister in Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng.

When the ministers in the hall saw Zhang Juzheng like this, they couldn't help but be moved by his awe-inspiring spirit, and stood up from the chair and bowed to Zhang Juzheng.

Even though Lin Yanchao gave up the record and couldn't help but leave his seat, he admired Zhang Juzheng from the bottom of his heart.

The atmosphere was solemn when I greeted the room.

At first, he complained to the minister and said, "Since Yuan Fu does not care about this, why should he be afraid of the officials?"

Another person said: "No, if you benefit the country, you will be able to live and die."

"A real man acts, but he wants to be proud of himself."

The officials made loud speeches, and some opportunistic officials took advantage of this occasion to express their loyalty to Zhang Juzheng, while Lin Yanchao sat down again without saying a word.

With so many people here, he doesn't need to express any opinions, he just needs to be an ordinary recorder.

Lin Yanchao wanted to write an article like "Salt and Iron Theory". Even if he could not be as famous as the Salt and Iron Theory forever, he would still make himself famous. He would walk on the road of Da Wenzong and Da Wenkui.

Before he knew it, the manuscripts under Lin Yanchao had already been built up in piles. On the other hand, Dong Zhongshu on the side did not remember the details as much as Lin Yanchao.

Finally, the meeting of the six departments of the cabinet ended.

The officials left one by one, and in the end, only Zhang Juzheng and Lin Yanchao, who organized the manuscripts, remained in the hall.

Lin Yanchao saw Zhang Juzheng sitting tiredly on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Lin Yanchao was still under pressure in the same room as the Imperial Prison, so he got a little faster and packed up his manuscript and left.

When passing by Zhang Juzheng, Lin Yanchao stopped bowing to Zhang Juzheng in the following manners, and then left lightly.

"Is it Zong Hai?"

Lin Yanchao was about to reach the door, but was stopped by Zhang Juzheng. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but complain, why did Zhang Juzheng close his eyes and hear from the sound of his footsteps that it was me.

Lin Yanchao could only stop and said, "It's the lower official, I don't know what instructions do the central government have?"

Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes, his eyes covered with blood, unlike his usual self-confidence. Lin Yanchao also knew what kind of pressure Zhang Juzheng was under now.

But when Zhang Juzheng was slapped, he said, "When I just bowed, everyone said that Qingzhang land was a good rule, why didn't you say Zonghai?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It is a responsibility to be the minister of the matter. The subordinates are just records and dare not speak indiscriminately."

Zhang Juzheng said again: "Why did Zong Hai leave the seat and bow to me when everyone bowed to the cabinet just now?"

Lin Yanchao said truthfully: "The lower officials are respectful to the actions of the Central Hall."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Your words seem to be heartfelt."

This is as if I had said lies before. Lin Yanchao could only say: "The lower official is in front of the central hall, and he dare not make lies."

Zhang Juzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Is that so? What do you think about Yu Qingzhang? By the way, you can't use it anymore. If you don't plan your position, you can swear to our cabinet."

Lin Yanchao was stunned and thought, he was trapped in Zhang Juzheng.

From the first sentence Zhang Juzheng asked himself, he unknowingly fell into Zhang Juzheng's language trap, which turned this question from an optional question to a must-answer question. It is really like accompanying the king, and he accidentally fell into Zhang Juzheng's words.

Lin Yanchao thought, this is a technical job for newcomers in the officialdom!

Zhang Juzheng looked at himself with an expression of seeing how you looked out of Wuzhishan. Lin Yanchao thought to himself, OK, since the soldiers came to block the water and soil, it was enough to cover it.

So Lin Yanchao said: "As Zhongtang said before, now the rich people have land but not tax, and the poor people lose money. If the method of clearing the land and acres of acres is not implemented, the country will be in danger. This policy cannot be shaken, but the officials feel that there is a discussion in the details."

Lin Yanchao’s response routine is to keep everyone in a consistent direction, so let’s sell some real information on details.

After hearing what Lin Yanchao said, Zhang Juzheng was really interested and said, "Let me say it!" (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
