132 A Huge Piece of Fat
In the Grand Court Meeting, the Grand Hall of Supreme Harmony, Bai Minghe was still standing in the corner. If a seventh-rank foreign official had not been given the official position of the seventh-rank official of the Ministry of War, he would not even be able to enter the main hall, let alone be qualified to listen.
Yizheng first tells about major events.
But this time, the first person to stand up was a military general, over fifty years old.
"Long live, I have something important to report!" The rest of the people could not interrupt whether they were giving face or not.
"Long live my life, I was ordered to be the left governor of the Later Army Governor's Office. But I was originally the commander of the Jinwu Left Guard of the Emperor to the Twelve Guards of the Emperor. It was related to the important case of the defense of the capital. I had to go beyond the authority to report the letter." With this self-introduction, Bai Minghe knew who this person was.
Wang Quan, Queen Wang's grandfather, and his son, Queen Wang's brother, is now the commander of the Jinwu Guard. He is on par with Hang Yu, but the Jinyiwei is much more glorious than the Jinwu Guard. During the Battle of the Capital, except for the Jinyiwei, all the twelve guards of the personal army were incorporated into the large army of the Beijing Guard, and there were heavy casualties.
Afterwards, except for the Jinyiwei who was also the personal army of the emperor, the other guards were under the management of the Ministry of War.
The Governor's Office of the Five Army has a higher status than the guards. It is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but in fact it has great power to do so.
"Long live, the Ministry of Revenue's granary has only 400,000 stones of grain. If there is a war in the capital, it will be a great disaster. I think the fault of no grain is not that the states and prefectures are powerless, but that the supervision is poor, and the Grand Canal does not have a unified management, and its transportation capacity is worse year by year. I will be able to open the position of governor, responsible for the transfer of grain from south to north, and in charge of all affairs of the Grand Canal throughout the journey."
Bai Minghe heard the taste, and it turned out that such a big man led to the topic of the Governor of the Canal Transportation.
It’s amazing! You need an identity and an excuse.
At that moment, another person stood up. Bai Minghe recognized this person as a minister of the Ministry of War.
"Long live. I have something to say."
After obtaining permission, the minister said: "Long live, there is not a lot of food in the capital now. There is three million stones of rice in the War Warehouse, so there is no need to add a governor to specialize in transporting grain from various prefectures and rivers."
"Bai Minghe, get out for me!" Wang Quan shouted angrily, scaring many young civil servants' legs to their weakness.
The white-famous He came out slowly: "Mr. Wang, as an official in the same dynasty, you should always respect more..."
"Don't you, you need respect for your kindness." After scolding Bai Minghe, Wang Quan bowed to Zhu Qiyu: "Long live, I have something to ask Bai Minghe, he is wrong."
"Accurate!" Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised. He didn't seem to have told him in advance. He didn't say hello to Bai Minghe in advance. What if something went wrong? But if things were forced to do so, it would be impossible not to be accurate.
Wang Quan glared at Bai Minghe: "Bai Minghe, why are you fat? You donated food, but it was a big mistake. I asked you, may you donate every year?" Wang Quan glared at Bai Minghe. Bai Minghe's answer was too important at this time, and it was related to whether his plan was completed.
Without prior discussion, it is impossible to have prior discussion. Once people know that they have had contact with Bai Minghe, anything will be suspected. Wang Quan believes that with the extraordinary wisdom of a person like Bai Minghe, you can definitely understand your own feelings.
Bai Minghe grinned: "Mr. Wang, I, Bai Minghe, respect the elderly. But you can't bully you like this. No family's food has fallen from the sky. What I donated is my heart. If I donate once, I will make my Bai Minghe lose food. If I donate every year, I will see how much my Bai Minghe's body is worth. I will take it all."
"You mean, it'll be gone next year!"
"No!" Bai Minghe replied stiffly.
Wang Quan turned around and said, "Long live, the food in the capital was a little nervous. Many soldiers in the garrison only had seven taels of grain every day during non-war periods, and the better ones were one pound and three taels. They were all strong men, and two pounds a day might not be enough. These foods could only be 70% full. But Bai Minghe's donation of grain was first given to the various guards under the Ministry of War of the Capital, the Jinyi Guards, and the garrisons under the Governor's Office of the Five Army, were all released. It has been a few days since."
"We have to have someone to eat!" Bai Minghe pretended to be confused.
"Long live. It's not wrong to eat full every day. But next year there will be no food, and the various guards in the capital do not have farming. It's easy to eat full, but it's not easy to be hungry. If there is not enough food, will these soldiers not mutiny?"
It's very hard to reason.
Wang Quan's few words attracted the support of dozens of generals, but these people's words were not so ugly.
"Long live, Lord Bai is good at donating grain. It is not wrong to have it because Lord Bai donated it. I support Lord Wang's statement. The fundamental solution is the real solution. The transfer of grain from the south to the north should be a national policy. The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou must be rectified. I think that many merchants are carrying a large amount of goods under the banner of juren, but do not pay the money for the money. This is stealing. They should be severely punished so that all the money in the river guards can be used to support soldiers and have money to repair the dike!"
One by one, the original arrangement was revealed layer by layer.
"My minister, I have a good reputation!" A heavyweight figure came out, Jin Lian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty. Although he went to see Bai Minghe and blocked Yu Qian, he had been paying attention to the large amount of money and grain pulled by Bai Minghe.
The original Grain Transport Department of the Ming Dynasty was the Grain Transport Department, and its biggest official was the Grain Transport Transport Commissioner, but it was just a fourth-rank official. In many cases, there was no weight to speak, and it was not advantageous to deal with the state prefectures. The ones that could be managed were the garrisons along the river, the waters of the Grain Transport, and more than 10,000 special canals on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
Add a second-rank governor, and then the power can be extremely great.
The personnel arranged downwards are indispensable for the supervisors of the Ministry of Industry who are in charge of rivers, and there are a large number of commanders alone. In this way, the positions of civil officials and military officers are vacant are twenty or thirty, and they are not counted as miscellaneous fish under the seventh rank.
The power of the wheel is much more powerful than that of the governor of a province.
The benefits of wheels, the benefits on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal can at least be favored by the benefits of any two or three provinces except the north and south Zhili.
"This, you wouldn't recommend your son to be the governor. He has a sufficient qualification, and now he is the second-rank left governor. In terms of identity, he is the uncle of the current dynasty, so this is naturally extremely reliable." Bai Minghe stood beside him and said this in a lukewarm manner.
Wang Quan was stunned at first, but immediately came to his senses. He secretly praised Bai Minghe as a kid who is really smart is not a normal person.
At that moment, Wang Quan picked up the Gui board in his hand and hit Bai Minghe: "Bastard, Bai Minghe, dare to slander me, I will kill you." Bai Minghe saw that his posture was wrong, so he turned around and ran away. Wang Quan chased him to the gate of the hall, snatched the long halberd from the imperial guards' hand and waved it. Bai Minghe felt a chill on his head and his hat was knocked away.
Even though I knew it was a show, I was still scared and sweating.
Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty was calm, and it would be fine if he just asked the imperial guards to hold Wang Quan. He comforted Bai Minghe with a few words and ordered a little eunuch to reorganize Bai Minghe's crown, and then stood in the corner and refused to speak again.
Wang Quan made a whistle and said: "Long live, I am loyal, only for the Ming Dynasty. Bai Minghe, a yellow-mouthed child, is full of nonsense. I only ask for Long live, choose a reliable person, be responsible for the inventory of grain in the capital, be responsible for the smooth canal, and be responsible for the various banknotes and garrisons along the river. I have no selfishness!"
After such a fuss, all the ministers began to calmly analyze the matter.
It seems that it is a good thing that is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the ministers, and this can be supported. What Wang Quan said is true. If there is no excess food next year, soldiers may really be mutiny if they are hungry. Moreover, if there is not enough military rations, the defense in the north is also a big problem.
Hu Yi opened his eyes and nodded to Yang Ning. This attitude was very obvious. He supported him first and then considered how to fight for this position as a new governor.
Before Yang Ning could make a statement, Gao Gu personally expressed his support.
Yu Qian also supported it. More military rations are very important for his Ministry of War, not to mention that Wang Quan is also a member of the Ministry of War.
However, Chen Xun looked at the corner where Bai Minghe was thoughtfully. Although someone blocked him and did not see Bai Minghe, this glance represented the suspicion in his heart.
Chen Xun didn't want this to be true or that it was false.
Just talk about interests.
The temptation of this governor of the canal transportation is many times greater than that of the governor of the Xuanfu.
So just talking about interests, Chen Xun suspected that this might still be a trap, but what this trap wanted was probably the person who was staring at the Governor of Xuanfu.
However, adding this Governor of the Grain Transportation Bureau was indeed beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and the transfer of grain from the south to the north was definitely a national policy-level government affairs.
but……
Chen Xun had another thought. Baiminghe could transport grain from the sea, so Jiangnan could also transport it from the sea. Next, we need to see if Baiminghe would find a way to destroy it. Just a saying that Wang Quan appointed a private person does not mean that Baiminghe was really destroying it. It can only be said that this is just the first scene.
Chen Xun was looking at the Bai Minghe, but although he couldn't see it, it represented his attitude.
What Chen Xun didn't know was that two pairs of eyes were also staring at him, one was the East Factory secret agent hidden in the dark, and the other was the Jinyiwei commander Hang Yu, who was in the hall. These two people already felt that Chen Xun might be suspicious. Whether he wanted to make some more plays depends on whether Chen Xun would stand up and object.
Suddenly, Chen Xun smiled and took the lead.
"Long live, I also think it is necessary to increase this governor. I just think that the candidates for this governor must be carefully selected. I suggest that the six ministries nominate the candidates for the governor, the officials nominate the candidates for the staff, and the cabinet will choose. Next time the Grand Court meeting discusses together, then decide on the candidates for the governor."
"What Mr. Chen said was deeply loved by me. Then the cabinet of the governor of the grain transport will discuss it first with the six ministries. The next small court meeting can be discussed. The next big court meeting will discuss the governor's authority before the meeting." Zhu Qiyu decided on the case.
What a big piece of fat meat.
All officials in the capital can already see the fat piece of meat hanging above their heads.
It can be said that no one is not moved. Whether for public or private purposes, several factions are moved, hoping to get the position of governor.
