155 Three Questions to Shi Heng
Yang Jun and Li Bing are both good ministers, and this was the conclusion given by Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, Shi Heng appeared.
His political outline is a management method for managing the transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, ensuring the supply of the grain bureau in the capital, and delivering grain to various prefectures.
If it were put in the past, his answer sheet was definitely a beautiful one, but now, with many gorgeous performances in the past, even if he can be as outstanding as the ones in front, he can be the finale. If he cannot be more outstanding, then his score will definitely be lower than that of the people in front of him at the same level.
After Shi Heng finished speaking, no one came out to ask questions.
The people in Gaogu will not ask questions because they did not prepare in advance. If they ask for childishness, they will be ridiculed by court officials.
The question was so great, but I was afraid that Shi Heng would not be able to answer.
Yu Qian, Shang Lu, Chen Xun, and Jin Ying, the four major forces joined forces. As long as Gao Gu people don’t ask questions, no one will speak up. They just want to throw a cold message, not to embarrass Shi Heng or to put pressure on him.
Shi Heng was already sweating.
He had never encountered such silent pressure before, and could not even guess the terribleness of it. The more invincible he was, the more scared he was.
At the instructions of Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty, Eunuch Cai stood up: "Long live waiting. No matter who it is, as long as the question is reasonable, you can ask it. This is a discussion of politics, and naturally it is a matter of public opinion!"
The meaning of this is not to be afraid of offending Shi Heng because of his high power. This is just for the sake of official business.
A figure shook and appeared in the hall. The color of the official uniform of this figure was different among the ministers. Among a group of officials above the fifth grade, a person wearing the seventh grade official uniform appeared. Naturally, it was very conspicuous.
White-famous crane!
Shi Heng felt a sudden tightening in his heart when he saw Bai Minghe. Bai Minghe has a good method, and it turned out that he was waiting here.
"Long live, I have three questions!" Bai Minghe gave a gift. After getting Zhu Qiyu's consent, he bowed to Shi Heng: "Master Shi, the first question of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is how to ensure transportation, how to maintain smooth flow. What should be the dry season and what should be the rainy season? The northern section of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal borders the tributaries of the Yellow River. How much silver is needed to control these, where does these silver come from, how much can the Governor's Office of the Grain Transportation be taken out, and how much should the Ministry of Revenue make up? This is the first question of the Xiaguan, to ensure transportation?"
Shi Heng really wanted to slap him on the face of Bai Minghe.
Face asked a lot of questions in a row, but said that this was just the first question.
Shi Heng didn't answer because he couldn't answer. His subordinates came out quickly: "Mr. Bai, this seems to be a lot of questions, not just a question!"
"Sir, who are you here to help the elected officials speak? Why don't you come and run for the election too!"
Bai Minghe choked the official's face pale with one sentence. He quickly kowtowed to the Ming Emperor, who had obviously lost his face, and knelt down and retreated.
No one asked whether it was a cold situation. Someone asked whether it was a cold situation, and Shi Heng was under great pressure.
Bai Minghe turned around: "Long live, low water level will affect transportation capacity, high water level will easily lead to waves and capsized ships. Much mud and sand will raise the riverbed and affect ship transportation. These are all parts that affect transportation, so I think this is a problem. Silver and money are also very important. Without silver, the river channel can be renovated, so silver is also to ensure transportation!"
Shi Heng gritted his teeth.
He is not a famous general or a wise minister. His military achievements are almost all mixed, which Yu Qian has explained. He is a military general. So he doesn't understand the management of the canal at all. He expects that after he takes office, Gao Gu will choose the right person to assist him.
So, this time he just asked many people to work together to prepare the political outline without considering the details.
He even said that he didn't know how long the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou is.
Seeing Shi Heng not speaking, Bai Minghe clasped his fists at all the ministers: "Everyone, the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou is 3,594 miles long, from north to south, passing through twenty-four prefectures, there are thirteen cash gates, seven large cash gates, and six small cash gates. The general commercial tax on the seven major cash gates was 310,000 taels last year."
The white-famous crane began to perform, and he did a lot of homework in the Grand Canal.
"It communicates with the sea, Huang, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, Qiantang River. The annual capacity is more than 30 million stones, and the total number of private ships in the Jinghang Canal is 37,000. Along the Jinghang Canal, there are twelve general officers, 127,600 soldiers, and 11,700 official ships."
What a cold data.
But as long as these data are thoughtful, it is not a secret. Any faction in the court can be sorted out casually.
But if Bai Minghe said it, it would be a little distorted.
Shi Heng's face was already extremely pale. He had no idea about this. Even if he knew it, he would not be so accurate.
"The Ministry of Revenue will add 1.24 million taels of silver to the Grand Canal every year, 70% of which are used for river construction. Another 30% is for military replenishment by the military forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and for ship repairs. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal has undergone four major renovations, but in the past 31 years, there has been no major renovations. There are many problems with river embankments and river channels. This year's transportation capacity has dropped by 7% compared with last year, 9% down from the previous year, and 13% down from the previous year."
Bai Minghe secretly gave Shi Heng a strange smile.
This smile really made Shi Heng want to kill. Bai Minghe was so poisonous that he actually came out to bite himself at this time, and the bite was really cruel and bloody.
"The salt tax in the Grand Canal was reduced by 10% last year. According to estimates by all parties, if the salt tax is evaded, there will be 1.5 million taels. If the salt tax is complete, will the Ministry of Revenue still need to supplement silver?"
The phrase "Bai Minghe" is really a killer move. Do you dare to accept it?
You said that if you don’t care about the salt tax, then how can you explain it to the emperor? But if you can’t collect so much salt tax, and the Ministry of Revenue will not give you silver, wouldn’t that kill the person?
Give up the governor of the canal transportation? This thought flashed through Shi Heng's head.
This thought flashed just a flash, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was fighting for the Governor of the Cao Transportation. Many people were fighting for the Governor of the Cao Transportation before. Mao Sheng also fought for the Governor of the Cao Transportation, but he did not see Bai Minghe coming out to ask questions. This was obviously a dilemma.
If he gave up the Governor of the Cao Transportation Army, he would probably have only one false post in the next three years.
"The Xiaguan is just a small seventh-rank official. I believe Lord Shi will have more clever ideas and plans!" Bai Minghe said another heart-wrenching sentence, thinking that I know so much about the seventh-rank official. You, Lord Shi, are you an idiot?
Another meaning is that my white name crane is only a seventh rank and is not qualified to compete for the position of governor. But you who are qualified to compete is really a waste.
Shi Heng was so angry that he shivered, but this was the Golden Palace. Can he fight the white-famous crane?
"This is just the first question. The servant still has two questions to ask. Please answer Lord Shi!"
Whoever dares to come out to speak for Shi Heng is not a question or a question or answer. Bai Minghe had already choked just now, and whoever jumped out was asking Bai Minghe to slap him in the face.
The little seventh-rank official is so powerful and scheming.
Yu Qian and Hu Yi looked at each other and laughed. Baiming He Guo is really a cruel person, and it is definitely not a false reputation in the capital.
"Long live back, I think. Because there has been no major repair in thirty-one years, the salt tax needs to be checked, and the funds of the Ministry of Revenue cannot be stopped. In addition, the transportation capacity has decreased, so it is just right for me to overhaul the river channel during my term of office. Building a river is not a short time. Even if I cannot repair it well, I can still provide some foundation for the next person."
Bai Minghe really wants to say, Shi Heng, you are a second-rank official in vain.
This answer is reasonable and well-founded, but it is definitely just a low score, and at most it is an answer that can save face for yourself.
"Mr. Bai just mentioned it well, but he just talked about the silt and sand of the Yellow River. I think it should start with the management of the Yellow River. From the upper reaches..."
You are so smart, you can get off the topic. Shi Heng's move is really a masterpiece at this time.
Bai Minghe learned another move. In the officialdom, you don’t have to face you in a tit-for-tat way. A good move is to play Tai Chi.
Zhu Qiyu was not interested in listening at all. He knew much trouble and evil diseases in the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou City and knew how troubles it would be to solve it. If it was really as easy as Shi Heng said, then the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou City would not have said that it had been a year-long evil diseases.
He secretly gave Eunuch Cai a wink.
Eunuch Cai gave a wink to a little eunuch next to him, and the winks were passed down one by one. Just as Shi Heng was answering, a small eunuch broke in at the door and knelt down: "Long live, something is wrong. The Queen fainted in the garden."
"What?" Zhu Qiyu stood up and left with the armrest of the chair. Eunuch Cai then shouted: "Retreat the court. Three days later, the grand court meeting will run for election and vote. The voting rules will be sent by the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow." After Eunuch Cai finished speaking, he hurriedly chased Zhu Qiyu, leaving only the civil and military officials in the morning dazed. Such a major event was to retreat to the court, and no one dared to leave easily.
Shi Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Bai Minghe with a sneer: "Mr. Bai, he is really a young hero!"
"Mr. Shi has been awarded too much, but Xiaguan has just read a little more books."
Shi Heng couldn't argue with Bai Minghe here. He felt a sense of gratitude in his heart that his luck was really good.
The white-known He did not stay in the hall and walked to the corner again. However, other officials were discussing government affairs in groups and topics that had no results in the debate just now.
About half an hour later, a eunuch ran in: "Long live the order, I will leave the palace. The empress has suffered some heat, and the imperial physician has no trouble after the diagnosis and treatment."
Heat stroke! This is not a strange thing. Many people think that Shi Heng's luck is really good.
Only Chen Xun felt vaguely that this might be a plan, and it was a plan played by Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty with Bai Minghe.
As soon as he heard about Leaving the Palace, Takaya pulled Shi Heng away quickly. They needed to plan their next actions well. This time they were almost dead after following the political outline. The queen suddenly fainted and saved Shi Heng and gave them a chance to turn the tables.
PS: I gave myself a day off today.
