The rise of the poor

Chapter 715

The old story between Emperor Jiajing and Xu Jie reminded Zhu Ping'an of a modern joke. It said that if your name is XXX, your big boss wrote "XXX villain, never use it" and pressed it on the desk. Under the transparent glass, the boss can see these words as soon as he sits every day, and you can also see these words when you come to the boss’s office to report work every day.

Say, what about you?

If you insist on not resigning, you will be convinced.

However, as for Xu Jie, not only did Xu Jie not resign, he also worked step by step to become an executive and joined the board of directors.

When Zhu Pingan recovered from his distraction, the court discussion in the hall had already progressed in stages.

Watching the masters fight against each other, Zhu Pingan, the little Si Zhilang, can only listen and watch, not qualified to speak, and quietly waits for the outcome of the court discussion.

The arm cannot twist the thigh, this truth is the unbreakable truth.In the end, the cost of performing the ceremony of calming the gods at Jianyuan Mountain in Wudang Mountain was still paid from the national treasury.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing also passed several proposals from court ministers.

The first proposal to be passed was to send Beijing material silver.This is based on the suggestion of Sun Yingkui, Shangshu of the Ministry of household affairs, and after being revised by Yan Song and others, the first sufficient technique is synthesized.

Due to the urgent situation of border defense, the number of soldiers and horses recruited by the towns is increasing day by day, and the cost is too high, so the Beijing material bank is sent.Except for Northern Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Luzhou, Fengyang, Pizhou, and Xuzhou provinces and counties, if there is no recruitment of troops and no large-scale projects such as building city walls, Then you have to take Pai Jing material silver.

Zhu Pingan and Li Chunfang found out the records of recruiting soldiers and repairing the border wall archived by the cabinet. Those state capitals that did not recruit soldiers, repair the border wall, or hire people will be sent to Beijing to pay money.

At the court meeting, Yan Song and other big bosses roughly set the amount of Beijing material silver allocated to each prefecture: among them, Yingtian Prefecture allocated 3 taels of Beijing material silver, Huizhou government allocated 5000 taels of Beijing material silver, and Ningguo 5000 taels of Beijing material silver from the government, 5000 taels of Beijing material silver from the Chizhou government, 9000 taels of Beijing material silver from the Taiping government, 15 taels of Beijing material silver from the Anqing government, and 6000 taels from the Suzhou government. 12 taels, Guangde, Hezhou, and Chuzhou have a total of 14 taels of Beijing material silver, Zhejiang has the most, with a total of 15 taels of Beijing material silver, Jiangxi 14 taels, and Huguang 15 taels , Sichuan 340 taels, Fujian sitting pie [-] taels, Guangdong sitting pie [-] taels, and Yunnan sitting pie [-] taels.

The total of more than one million taels of Beijing material silver distributed by various places has to be handed over to the Taicang warehouse of the Ministry of Households before October this year.

Sitting Pai's Beijing material silver is close to half of the annual cash register in Taicang.

Emperor Jiajing, Hubu and others were all overjoyed.

It's just that the people of the world are pitiful.

After Zhu Pingan listened, he sighed in his heart. The wool still comes from the sheep, and it is impossible for the officials to pay the Beijing materials and money distributed by local officials.

Hey.
The second court item passed was Xu Jie's proposal to reduce expenditures. Xu Jie proposed that Emperor Jiajing order all ministries and government offices to check officials, cooks, government servants, and school soldiers on their own, and eliminate redundant officials and staff. The Ministry of Households is requested to publish a comprehensive outline of income, expenditure and surplus items in the Dibao, so that the whole court can understand the plight of my Ming Dynasty and cherish national property.

Emperor Jiajing nodded and approved Xu Jie's proposal on the spot, and then made arrangements.

Seeing this scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects, Zhu Ping'an felt a little strange. He didn't know that Emperor Jiajing still remembered the eight words "Xu Jie's villain, never use it" that he had engraved on the pillars of the main hall.
The third matter was directly arranged by Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing thought that the military pay, border repairs, relief and other expenses were too much. This year, it was almost 1000 million taels of silver, and the cost was too huge. Among them, there are fraudulent and intrusive parts, which are handed over to Shizhong and Yushi, who are ordered to investigate the relevant expenses in various places, and impeach the false and intrusive officials.

The fourth thing is that Emperor Jiajing decreed that "the storage in Taicang Zhongkuo is for urgent needs. In the future, unless there is an imperial decree, one or two cents of Taicang silver shall not be taken from Taicang", sealed up the Taicang silver, and then sold it on the spot. One took 20 taels of silver, which was used for the imperial decree of Jianyuan Yue in Wudang Mountain to perform the ceremony of calming the gods.

After the court meeting, Emperor Jiajing kept Yan Song, Xu Jie and Sun Yingkui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and made other arrangements, and the rest of the officials left in an orderly manner.

Zhu Pingan also followed the crowd out of the hall.

Of course, it's just out of the main hall, and I have to work overtime tonight. The matters discussed by the court today have to be written overnight and distributed to various places.

Zhu Ping'an didn't have much appetite because of the imperial court's decision to distribute Beijing's food and silver. He felt that today's imperial meal, which was delicious in color and fragrance, was tasteless and tasted like noble wax.

Soon, Zhu Ping'an and others were organized by Mr. Lu Ben and Lu Ge to draft official documents.

Zhu Ping'an was assigned to draft the documents for sending Beijing material silver in Anqing Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Hezhou Prefecture.

Lifting the brush, Zhu Ping'an was on the spot, feeling that the brush in his hand weighed a thousand catties, and it was hard to bear the weight, and he couldn't write a single stroke.
Just think of it.

The extra taxes that the common people increased were official documents drafted and issued by himself and others. Zhu Pingan couldn't help but shudder, and there were fine sweat stains on his forehead
Although he does not have a say in this kind of national affairs, even though he is only a person who is ordered to draft documents, Zhu Pingan also feels that

"Hey, so who, why don't you write?"

Everyone is racing against time for important military and state affairs. You, a young man, are distracted. Lu Ben Lu Ge always sees Zhu Ping'an's fuzzy appearance with a brush, and he is displeased. I couldn't remember Zhu Ping'an's name for a while, so I pointed at Zhu Ping'an, using "who" to represent it.

Zhu Ping was stunned for a moment before realizing that Lu Ge was talking about himself. He quickly got up and pleaded guilty to Lu Ge. Mistake, it's a bit late to write.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an sincerely admitting his mistake, and seeing Xu Jie's face, Lu Ben's displeasure eased a bit, and he waved his hand to let Zhu Pingan sit down. Not as an example, he ordered the officials on the side to give Zhu Pingan a sample document. Make Zhu Ping'an follow the scriptures.

Hey

The important affairs of the imperial court are not something that I, a little sixth rank, can control, and it is not my turn to dictate.

The imperial court is like a big stage, staged one after another, but I am not the protagonist, and I can't even take the role of a walk-on.I am just a melon-eating crowd off the stage, at best, a melon-eating crowd standing a little closer.

Zhu Pingan silently pleaded guilty to the people in Anqing, Suzhou, and Hezhou in his heart, then dipped his pen in ink, and honestly drafted official documents as required.

However, a certain melon eater who wrote official documents did not expect that a drama in the near future would lack a protagonist.
