Ma Wensheng originally thought that Emperor Zhu Houzhao would restrict the power of the cabinet after controlling the inner court and driving away the three cabinet ministers. However, he did not expect that Emperor Zhu Houzhao would increase the power of the cabinet, and let the cabinet ministers take charge of the ministry, and would have their own government offices. This would undoubtedly establish the central position of the cabinet in the outer court!

Once he enters the cabinet, he will naturally be the chief assistant with his qualifications, and he will naturally have greater power to implement reforms.

Therefore, Ma Wensheng is very excited now.

Now, because Zhu Houzhao mentioned that he would re-recommend the candidates of the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of War, the Left Minister of Personnel, Ma Wensheng no longer thought about promoting his own people, but said without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, I believe that if you really want to reform the administration and let all officials work diligently, you should restore the king and the king and the prince, and let him regain the cabinet!"

Wang Shu's prestige is no less than Ma Wensheng or even higher than Ma Wensheng. Once Wang Shu replied that the court would undoubtedly affect Ma Wensheng's status in the court. However, if Ma Wensheng could suggest reinstate Wang Shu, Zhu Houzhao could also see that he did not out of selfishness but really wanted to change the government.

Xu Jin, who was standing aside, immediately agreed: "As Otsukazu said, the rigorous assessment of all officials is the king and the king! Moreover, the king and the king are not pedantic and stubborn. The old emperor relied on the prince and the king and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to promote the emperor's business. Unfortunately, the prince was not tolerated by the cabinet ministers and officials, and he was old and retired!"

Jiao Fang even slapped his knees. He had always had prejudices against southern officials and smiled directly: "If the prince was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, it would undoubtedly be a blessing for my Ming Dynasty and a bad luck for all officials. Then, let's see how the group of officials in the south who only know how to deal with the tax reduction for Jiangnan!"

Zhu Houzhao also knew Wang Shu quite well, knowing that he was an old minister during the Chenghua period and was already famous all over the world as early as the Chenghua period. At that time, he had the reputation of "two capitals, only one Wang Shu". However, it is undeniable that Wang Shu is probably almost ninety years old now. I wonder if he is still very clear-headed and can still serve the court.

Lian Po is old, can he still eat?

But as Ma Wensheng and others said, if a famous official who was a disciple and an old official in the world and was eager to reform would undoubtedly be more helpful to the new policy. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate and said, "Then prepare to appoint Wang Shu as the Minister of Personnel! What about the Minister of War?"

"I recommend Yang Yiqing, this person is quite knowledgeable about military affairs! He is still young, and the six ministries of the cabinet cannot be all our old ministers!"

Minister of War Xu Jin laughed as he spoke.

Jiao Fang nodded: "I think it's very good. Yang Yiqing's Ministry of Personnel is excellent in all the inspections. It's a pity that they are not from Hanlin, otherwise they would have entered the cabinet directly that year!"

Ma Wensheng didn't say anything, Yang Yiqing was his disciple, so he had to avoid suspicion.

"The rule of not entering the cabinet unless Hanlin is a member of the cabinet will be changed. The ministers of the Ci don't know how to govern the people." Zhu Houzhao said, then nodded and said:

"The Minister of War will be temporarily planned to be Yang Yiqing, and the Left Minister of Personnel will talk about it when Wang Shu enters the capital;

The three dear ministers will go back to rest for the time being. At the same time, the Otsuka Jail must immediately draw up a memorial to implement the examination and implement the law. Write down the performance of all officials clearly, and then wait until the three ministers of the cabinet resign and you will immediately submit the reforms to begin!

Jiao Aiqing's cabinet system was also written in articles according to my intentions;

The Grand Sima is responsible for writing the assessment methods of military officers. Without further ado, hurry up and do it! Now I only hope that the three of them will resign soon! That way they will look better in their faces!"

"I'm going to leave!"

Ma Wensheng and others, who were filled with excitement on their faces, were also waiting for the three cabinet ministers to resign, and were looking forward to the day they would enter the cabinet.

It seems that from this moment on, the resignation of the three ministers of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian was no longer as simple as whether Ma Wensheng and others could enter the cabinet, but also as whether the new policy of the Zhengde Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty could begin immediately.

After Ma Wensheng and others left, Zhu Houzhao did not go to bed immediately, but thought about how to increase the income of the court.

The first thing Zhu Houzhao thought of was to confiscate the house. At present, Wang Yue and other eunuchs who were plotting against the inner court must have their own property outside the palace and should be able to confiscate a lot of wealth. In addition, the confiscation of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others in the future will definitely make him gain a lot of wealth.

But the question is, how to use the first amount of funds obtained from the house search to make himself, the emperor and his empire get more income? Zhu Houzhao needs to consider now.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Houzhao decided to open a bank. The first bank may not be a financial institution that must be a storing most of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty society.

However, before opening a bank, Zhu Houzhao had to transfer equity.

That is, the private shares of the Royal Taxation Administration except Emperor Zhu Houzhao were transferred to the bank to which it was about to be opened.

Because the Royal Taxation Administration, as the tax department, cannot directly borrow from the outside world, even if Zhu Houzhao raises commercial taxes in the future, he will not be able to control the distribution of most of the empire's wealth. Opening a bank can not only use its interests to win over some people to support their own reforms, but also directly manipulate social wealth.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly sent an order to Xu Jing to see him immediately tomorrow.

The next morning, Xu Jing came to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly told Xu Jing about equity transfer and bank opening, and told Xu Jing that the bank opening was called Royal Bank.

Xu Jing was born in a wealthy business family, and he was not stupid as a juren. After Zhu Houzhao explained to him the concept of banks and their operation methods, he almost understood it, just said:

"What Your Majesty said seems to be very similar to opening a money shop, but what I want to say is that the Ming Dynasty is now worthless, private money is flooded, and coins are already chaotic. If today, most of them are traded with gold and silver or physical goods. Your Majesty opens a money shop and mints coins may make the money law even more chaotic."

Xu Jing said this just now, which made Zhu Houzhao realize that the reform of the money law was imminent in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty's Taizu, who did not understand finance, made the financial market of the Ming Dynasty very chaotic, which seriously affected the development speed of the empire's commodity economy.

"My so-called bank does not exchange coins like money shops for the time being, but in the future, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to carry out the Money Law reform and prohibit private coins. But now we will only use gold, silver and other goods to store and lend money. The income from Wang Yue and other counterparty searches, as well as the income from the Royal Taxation Bureau and even the treasury income from the treasury will be stored in the Royal Bank, and the interest will be paid by the Royal Bank;

Of course, the Royal Bank's profit model is to lend, and I will prohibit private lending and fundraising at that time. Under such conditions, I believe that you, Xu Jing, can use the money you earned from the Royal Taxation Bureau to search your home and the money you earned from tax collection to generate more wealth."

After Zhu Houzhao said this, Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh. He could understand that as long as the emperor prohibited private fundraising and lending, the so-called Royal Bank would naturally make a fortune. He said, "Then I will transfer equity according to Your Majesty's will."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked Xu Jing to do it immediately.

He believed that Xu Jing could agree, and other officials involved in the investment of the Royal Taxation Administration would not disagree.

As Zhu Houzhao expected, Bahu and other officials also agreed to the transfer of equity.

First, Xu Jing submitted the emperor's will and they dared not disagree.

Second, they actually don’t understand the meaning of equity transfer and investment. They paid the money to Xu Jing to express their loyalty to Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and they didn’t intend to make money on this. Now they heard that the equity they invested with were theirs, so they didn’t care, so they naturally agreed in a confused manner.

Of course, they also knew that once Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to take out the income from the house search, they would not be able to share much of the actual income from the treasury.

On the contrary, just as Xu Jing could agree immediately, they would rather believe that if the emperor really wanted to use his own money to open an imperial shop, it would undoubtedly be more reliable to open a bank similar to a money shop, and maybe they could really make more money.

...

According to Zhu Houzhao's order, the Silijian officially moved to the Longzong Gate on this day. In this way, Zhu Houzhao could reach the Silijian by walking a few steps in the future, and the Silijian could only exercise the right to criticize the royal family under Zhu Houzhao's nose.

Zhu Houzhao also came to the Silijian this afternoon, and when he came to the Silijian, he asked Liu Jin: "Are there any memorials from the resignation of the three cabinet ministers in the cabinet?"

"Return to the emperor, there is no resignation memorial from the three cabinet ministers of the cabinet." Liu Jin also replied with some disappointment. He has been in the Sili Supervisor since yesterday, waiting for the resignation memorial from the three cabinet ministers of the cabinet, and waiting for his group to expel the three cabinet ministers of the cabinet whom he hated from the court. However, he did not expect that the three cabinet ministers of the cabinet seemed to be dependent on him and refused to submit the memorial.

After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao was also confused. She couldn't help but think that Liu Jian and others still wanted to occupy the position of the cabinet without leaving. Do they really want to wait until they dispatched officers and soldiers to confiscate him and exterminate the clan before they could give up?

However, at this moment, Chu Ke, the eunuch in the Sili District Hall, walked over with the memorial: "Old Master, two memorials have just been sent, which are the resignation memorials of Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet and Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge!"

"There are only two letters, why aren't three letters? Liu Jian and Xie Qian resigned, why did Li Dongyang refuse?"

The eunuch Liu Jin, the chief eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, looked at Zhu Houzhao with surprise and disappointment.

Zhu Houzhao was not that surprised, but couldn't help laughing. He couldn't help but think that Li Dongyang had not resigned from the official position, which was different from the history he knew.

But no matter what, Zhu Houzhao can be sure that the Ming Dynasty in this time and space is still the same as the original history, that is, Li Dongyang did not leave the court at this time.

However, Li Dongyang refused to resign, and Zhu Houzhao was still quite disappointed and angry. He had no intention of keeping Li Dongyang again. And there was no doubt that if Li Dongyang still relied on the cabinet, it would be of little significance to increase the cabinet's power to reform the government. Li Dongyang would even constrain his new policy because of his increase in cabinet power. After all, as usual, as soon as Liu Jian left, Li Dongyang would be the chief assistant!

"Immediately send me the Minister of Personnel Ma Wensheng, Minister of War Xu Jin, and Jiao Fang, Left Minister of Personnel Jiao Fang, enters the palace!"
Chapter completed!
