Wang Yangming came to Zhu Houzhao to find money to build the Capital University.

When Zhu Houzhao found out, he decisively issued an order to summon Wang Hua.

After Wang Hua bowed to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao asked, "How did you become the Minister of Revenue? You don't even have the money to run a capital university, so how much money can you spend?"

"Your Majesty, I don't want to give it to you. I really don't have money! Since I started to repair the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Revenue has lost money," Wang Hua replied.

"It's because you don't have money, but you, the Minister of Revenue, won't be the one. I'll give you an idea and you can borrow money from the Royal Bank!"

Zhu Houzhao gave Wang Hua an idea.

Wang Hua nodded and said yes.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that scholars like Wang Hua were not suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but there was no way that they chose them through the so-called "democratic" method of selecting officials, which was the result of the balance between the forces within the civil servant group at that time.

Zhu Houzhao really cannot be dismissed easily, and it is also the most beneficial to him as the emperor. After all, the more balanced the power in the court, the better.

Fortunately, although Wang Hua is not good at managing the Ming Dynasty money law, he is not stubborn. He can tolerate new things and rebellious people. Otherwise, Wang Yangming would not have lived until now.

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao is willing to let Wang Hua take charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He cannot find a competent subordinate, and finding a subordinate who is not stubborn and not stubborn.

If you have been a tree for ten years and a hundred years, you will have to slowly cultivate talents who can truly become pillars of the empire.

Zhu Houzhao sometimes thought that maybe the Peking University was an opportunity, but what he didn’t know was that after the palace examination, how many literati and Jinshi were willing to go to Peking University for further studies first.

Xu Jing finally determined the final loan agreement with Wang Hua, the Minister of Revenue, and also obtained the approval of Jiao Fangzhao, the cabinet's proposed approval and Zhu Houzhao.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao did not ask the Ministry of Revenue to borrow money from establishing the Beijing University, and also borrowed a reserve for purchasing military rations.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao would not have to worry that the food would affect the price of food.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao also thought about how the Ministry of Revenue repays this loan for Wang Hua. Since the Hongzhi period, Ye Qi, the Minister of Revenue, changed the salt system and opened Chinese and French to increase the rice, the Ministry of Revenue has entered the Taicang warehouse every year with a sum of no less than one million taels of silver.

In theory, this money was purchased by the Ministry of Revenue to supply the military rations.

Of course, it is naturally not enough to supply military supplies alone, especially in such peaceful times, so many times the money will be saved.

It has become an important income for the central court.

In the future, the Ministry of Revenue will naturally use this silver to repay the loan, and now it can use the money loaned from the Royal Bank to purchase grain as military supplies when the grain prices are low, avoiding the increase in military supplies costs when the salt silver is raised by merchants at that time, and also balances the prices and avoiding excessive or low grain prices.

Zhu Houzhao's actions were equivalent to making the flow of funds of the central government of the Ming Dynasty more flexible.

...

After solving the problem of the lack of money in the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Houzhao went to the cabinet and the Silijian's office to prepare for a day of government affairs.

But as soon as Zhu Houzhao stepped into the cabinet and the Sili Supervision Office, Liu Jin walked to Zhu Houzhao and said with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty! Zuo Dongxiu, the official department's secretary, rejected the order issued by the cabinet to implement the central civil servant election examination, saying that it was contrary to the law of ancestors!"

"Your Majesty! The big thing is not good. The Beizhen Fushi just received the news that the Minister of Personnel was attacked by evil people on his way home!" At this time, Guo Rong, the assistant commander of the Jinyiwei, suddenly appeared outside the duty room and said in a panic look.

"Your Majesty! The cabinet just received a memorial, which was the impeachment of Zhao Botao, the doctor of the Wenxuan Department, to the imperial examination! In my opinion, this is their dissatisfaction with the central civil servant selection examination!"

Jiao Fang, the second assistant to the cabinet on duty, also walked to Zhu Houzhao to report the report.

After hearing these three news, Zhu Houzhao was a little dazed.

To be honest, he attaches great importance to the central civil servant selection examination, even more than the so-called Enko, because this was an attempt to reform the Ming Dynasty's official selection system and an important part of the reform of the official governance.

Although the Ministry of Personnel’s selection of officials to examinations is only aimed at officials with lower positions, it was these officials who formed the majority of imperial officials, which also determined the degree of corruption in the Ming Dynasty’s administration.

Changing the Ministry of Personnel’s official selection model to the examination and selection of officials will undoubtedly greatly curb the abdomen of grassroots officials in the imperialist areas.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the opportunity of a large number of officials in the court to vacancies after eliminating the rebellious party and implemented the system reform of the civil servant selection examination. He also considered that it might cause a rebound in the civil servant power, so he only carried out reforms at the central level.

But what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that she was still hindered!

First of all, it was actually rejected by the clerk!

Secondly, Wang Shugang, the Minister of Personnel, who supported the reform, escaped and died by luck. Now he is assassinated in the capital again, which shows how hard the officials in the court can tolerate him!

It has to be admitted that Emperor Hongzhi asked Wang Shu to retire and protected him.

As Jiao Fang said, Zhao Botao was expressed dissatisfaction with the imperial examination system of the imperial examination system, because once the imperial examination system was selected, he would seize the power of the imperial examination system!

Otherwise, Liao Yiming would be overwhelmed by his fullness, so why did he suddenly impeach the Wenxuansi's doctor to corrupt me?

Although the official position of Wenxuansi is prone to greed and has a lot of money, he has a lot of power, and generally he can become a Wenxuansi's doctor, and his backstage is also very strong.

The censor Liao Yiming must have received permission from Zhao Botao to impeach him, because once Zhao Botao is impeached, Zhao Botao can be suspended for questioning, and can go on strike legitimately, making the reform of the imperial examination for electing officials unable to continue.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao couldn't even get Zhao Botao's fault because he was impeached and was unable to work.

It is equivalent to, on the surface, Zhao Botao is the victim.

Not to mention Zuo Dongxiu, the clerk of the official department, rejected Zhu Houzhao and the cabinet's intention to reform the official selection system, because this was the power given to him by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the censors of the Six-Chiju have the power to refute.

But for this reason, it was useless even if Zhu Houzhao changed to a doctor in the Selected Department, because the order for reform was rejected by censors from other officials!

Wang Shu was assassinated undoubtedly warned some civil servants who wanted to change the official selection system.

"Very good, very good! Very good!"

Zhu Houzhao really felt the resistance to reform at this moment and was indeed very angry. He couldn't help but ask Guo Rong: "What's the situation in Wang Shu now? Is there a big problem?"

"It's not a big deal yet, I'm just hitting my right foot, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to court to participate in politics for a while," Guo Rong replied.

"What should I do? Once the prince recovers from illness, the reform of the official selection examination will have to be put on hold!" Jiao Fang said with some concern.

"Who said it would be put on hold! I didn't say it would be put on hold, so it would not be put on hold! I sent an order, and the officer Zuo Dongxiu and the censor Liao Yiming were put on the imperial prison and interrogated them strictly! The interrogation may be suspected of conspiracy and collusion. Do you intend to block the new court policy and disobey the imperial edict, deliberately make things difficult for officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and even assassinate the imperial chief!"
