I am the king of the dead

"If it goes on for a long time, the country will be destroyed." Yu Qian sighed, quite touched.

In this short period of one year, the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy has changed. This has a lot to do with His Majesty's continuous withdrawal of power, and then punching down.

His Majesty has always done things with a degree of relaxation, neither rush nor slow, but he has handled each matter, one by one, extremely safely.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Therefore, there must be some people shouting and yelling about the Jingcha matter, and I won't pay attention to it."

Yu Qian took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, how much is the heir of the emperor?"

"Six catties and six liang, full term." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

The outer court didn't know about the affairs of Tai'an Palace. Last time Wang Zhi asked to move to live in the palace, Zhu Qiyu reprimanded him. Since then, no one dared to ask about the many arrangements of Tai'an Palace.

Yu Qian said with a smile in the corner of his eyes when he heard it: "Six catties and six taels are good, very good, and full-term is also very good."

He was quite pleased that the Ming Emperor had only one child, Zhu Jianji, which was absolutely impossible, as there was only one child, and the country's position was unstable.

Your Majesty's two children, that is a very gratifying thing. It is better to have as many children as possible. At most, there will be some small disturbances such as the Hanwang Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion, and it is not a big deal.

In particular, His Majesty is promoting the tax payment of all kings and relatives.

With one more child, there will be more protection, and the minds of the courtiers will be more stable.

Chapter 218 I'd rather owe money

Yu Qian's sudden question about the child was not aimless. What he was going to say next involved the word country.

Your Majesty has children, so that everyone can be twisted together. This Ming Dynasty's New Deal is not a river without a source.

One child is still not stable, it is better to have a few more.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, please be in charge of the power alone, and beware of the party's disaster."

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is the power to govern officials, and it is one of the measures of the Ministry of Officials.

This is also an important part of imperial power.

Yu Qian continued: "It is a pity that the death of the former Song Dynasty is nothing more than the fact that there are many disasters in the court, from the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the dispute between the North and the South, to Wang Qinruo's struggle with Kou Zhun, to the appearance of the five ghosts, and then to Yuanfeng and Yuanyou Party members. , Nothing is better than agitating for power, foreign enemies are not as good as domestic thieves, political disagreements, and even the party that is at risk of life and death, wasting the country's strength."

The competition between Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun for the position of prime minister revolved around the Chanyuan alliance. The Chanyuan alliance was originally an alliance under the city.

The five ghosts came to the stage with the prime minister Wang Qinruo, the third envoy Ji Dingwei, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites Lin Te, the reviewer Chen Pengnian of the Chongwen Academy, and the eunuch Liu Chenggui. They fooled Song Zhenzong into creating Taishan Fengchan.

Since then, the emperor was ashamed of Mount Tai's enshrining Zen.

Members of Yuanyou Party and Yuanfeng Party are based on Wang Anshi's reform and Sima Guang's comprehensive opposition to the new law.

The party disaster in the Song Dynasty was severe and shocking.

Roughly like heretics are more damned than heretics.

Yu Qian looked at His Majesty's thoughtful appearance, and continued: "Is the party's imprisonment beneficial? There are all kinds of harm but no benefit. The government has never made a set policy, let alone a consistent policy. to the point of being criticized."

"Your Majesty holds the power, and the whole world speaks alone. Even if Your Majesty is wrong, so what?"

"The minister presumptuously."

What Yu Qian said even had the words of heaven's anger, saying that His Majesty is wrong.

Hu Wei was the first to object, who said His Majesty was wrong?

How could His Majesty be wrong!

But the emperor is also a human being, his idea may be wrong, but so what if he is wrong?

Above the court, as long as there is one voice, even if it is wrong, as long as the intention is good, it is better to keep it going than to be imprisoned by the party and cause disasters from the party.

The four disasters that endanger the country require vigilance.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in such matters as governing the country, these ministers who select the best from the best are indeed the best of the best.

The party ban and party disaster that Yu Qian said were not unique to the Song Dynasty.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, during the Wanli period, the courtiers engaged in party struggles through the Jingchao and grand schemes, and directly turned Daming into a semi-disabled state.

During the Battle of Saerhu, Yang Gao and Nurhachi set up a battle in Saerhu, preparing to fight.

At that time, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and Donglin Party were at the most vicious time of bite.

Sarhu returned after a big defeat, Xiong Tingbi managed Liaodong, and made a lot of achievements. He defeated Nurhachi, who was newly victorious and had high morale, defended Shenyang, and even fell into a tug-of-war in Kaiyuan, Tieling and Nurhachi.

Xiong Tingbi has done a lot in Liaodong. He wants to cultivate troops and accumulate strength. With the old line of Qi's army as the core, he will rebuild the military prestige of the Liaodong capital.

Xiong Tingbi is not a member of the party. If it is really counted strictly, he belongs to the Chu party. Qi, Chu and Zhejiang were defeated, and Donglin dominated.

Yuan Yingtai finally died in Shenyang, Shenyang fell, and Liaodong Dusi became the dust of history.

There was a lot of discussion among the court and the central government, and Xiong Tingbi was once again appointed Liaodong Economic Strategy before he even reached the capital.

Xiong Tingbi immediately used the strategy of three defenses, with Guangning, Denglai, and Shanhaiguan as his corners, and was ready to have a good touch with Nurhachi.

As a result, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, sent an army of 13 outside the city to confront the Jiannu Eight Banners with high morale, and was defeated.

Xiong Tingbi was rumored to be the first nine sides, but Wang Huazhen of the Donglin Party survived until Chongzhen five years before he was taken out of the imperial prison by Emperor Chongzhen, punished by the Ming Dynasty, and had his head beheaded.

The three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang were defeated, but they were not completely defeated. They gathered under Wei Zhongxian's party feathers and established the eunuch party.

The moment in the Song Dynasty is just like the moment in the Ming Dynasty.

The king's departure, the captive's entry, the relocation, and the disaster of the party are indeed the disasters of the four subjugation of the country.

Daming was indeed strong, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't bear the four disasters all at once, and finally tossed to the point of subjugation.

Zhu Qiyu thought so deeply and accepted his words.

The handle must be firmly held in the hands of the emperor. Regarding the affairs of the Jingchao, especially the key positions such as the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty and the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the emperor must personally ask the emperor to ensure the stability of the country.

"Yu Shaobao is a national scholar." Zhu Qiyu said with emotion.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, if there was a person as powerful as Yu Qian, would the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers hang upside down, and the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty be broken?

What is Yu Qian's attitude towards those who moved south?

Those who move south will be cut off.

Yu Qian is already gentle enough, but beheading is still a deterrent to party disasters and court disputes.

Zhu Qiyu was in place in one step. The fourteen gentlemen of Fengyang Poetry Society, who shook their lips, yelled and barked, and shook the morale of the army, were directly lifted out of the prison by Zhu Qiyu, and their heads were neatly chopped off.

He is not Yu Qian, who shakes the morale of the army during the war, not only courtiers, but also literati, scholars and poets, let alone.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is in charge of the six ministries of Minggong and the chief constitutional police, the Quan department is in charge of the Beijing officials, and the Beijing officials can control the localities. Otherwise, party disasters will inevitably occur everywhere, and orders will be changed day by day. The law does not restrict the people, and the people do not know the law."

Yu Qian's idea is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's reason for abolishing the prime minister. If you want to avoid the disaster of the party, you must monopolize the power.

Your Majesty is in charge of the Ministry of Quan, cut off the government, and the officials are responsible for their duties. The world will be safe and peaceful, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

It is not difficult to know, but difficult to do.

How difficult is it to avoid party disasters?

Making Daming great again is not an unattainable goal, as long as His Majesty does not slack off, it will definitely be achieved!

After Yu Qian finished talking about the meaning of Jingcha and Daji, he asked a little strangely: "Your Majesty pressed silver coins, why not gold coins? Gold is more expensive than silver. Since silver coins can be cast, why not gold coins?"

"I'm stupid."

In fact, Yu Qian wanted to mention this matter at the Salt and Iron Meeting just now, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally didn't say it.

Your Majesty is the Secretary of the Household Department of the Ming Dynasty. Does he not know that gold coins are more expensive than silver coins?But why not mint gold coins?

One tael of gold is approximately equal to 17 taels of silver, and one gold coin is approximately equivalent to seventeen silver coins.

It would be too easy to pay off the bill.

But His Majesty seems to prefer to risk the risk of debts, and still insist on minting silver coins instead of gold coins.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."

"Yu Shaobao really thinks that the powerful family will not be able to make this imperial silver coin?"

"On the contrary, if they really care about this matter, they can do it, but the investment is extremely high, but the effect is extremely low, especially when they just decided to give up four cents to the war."

"They want the silversmiths to follow them at the risk of losing their heads and steal the imperial silver coins. Naturally, there must be generous rewards."

"They don't steal silver coins, that's because the punishment is severe and the law hangs high, with a sword on top of their heads, so they don't dare."

"I said at the beginning that private coining of silver coins is tantamount to treason, and with a knife on their necks, they don't do it because there is no profit for them."

"But what about minting gold coins? It's very profitable."

"It's enough for them to face the severe punishment and law, and risk the big stakes to find enough people to corrupt the imperial silver coins of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu's worry was not unreasonable.

Only Great Britain has tried to issue gold coins as currency, and they were all on a very small scale, but they immediately brought a large number of stolen coins. After that, gold coins actually became investment objects rather than currency use.

Since ancient times, there has been a legend of turning stone into gold. Once the gold coins are released, or even issued, the powerful family will immediately start fighting with open flames.

Daming's new monetary policy will die before it sets sail.

That is not fishing, fishing, but poisoning the fish ponds, and it is not advisable to fish when the lake is exhausted.

Zhu Qiyu continued to explain: "Yu Shaobao didn't know the details. Now the money collected by Baoyuan Bureau has changed from broken silver to golden flower silver. Many powerful families have cast silver into gold flower silver, and then to Baoyuan The bureau changed the silver coins, why?"

"Because the Baoyuan Bureau has to charge [-]% of the fire consumption for variegated silver to golden flower silver."

"Now they use the copper coins wrapped in oil paper buried in the pigsty to exchange for scattered silver from the people, because there is profit in it. Although it is not rich, it is still an income."

"If gold coins are released, they don't even need to collect the scraps of silver or even silver materials in the market. It is extremely profitable to directly counterfeit gold coins."

Zhu Qiyu explained clearly the reason why gold coins cannot be used as currency, because the powerful families would risk huge ties to imitate and counterfeit, and the profits were too lucrative.

Yu Qian couldn't stop nodding and said: "I remember the sacred teachings."

At this point, Yu Qian knew it, and indeed His Majesty was always on guard against a group of people.

What he saw at the beginning was correct, one of the three tombstones of His Majesty has been buried now, and that is the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, although it seems that the earth has not yet been sealed.

There are still two tombstones, but no one has claimed them. Meat eaters are despicable, and His Majesty has always been very vigilant against them.

Yu Qian said in a daze: "According to what your majesty said, twice the amount will bring peace, four times will bring prosperity, and six times will lead to prosperity. However, your majesty, according to the farm law, the government only charges [-]% and a half. Isn't that too low?"

Grain rent, high tax, and the request of the township department.

Daming trained a lot of voluntary corpsmen, and these voluntary corpsmen resisted the demands of the township department, and the high taxes added up were only [-]%, which is already six times the prosperity.

Especially as refugees continued to join the farm, some iron materials from Shijing Factory were used as farm tools, which were quite wear-resistant, and Daming's grassroots productivity was recovering at a high speed.

Although it is only twice what Dingkou asked for now, it will be quadrupled in a few years, and it will be more than six times.

Now the atmosphere of land reclamation is extremely strong, if the commander hadn't ordered the Emperor Zhenwu not to burn the mountain, now Yanshan would be burned up.

"It's not too low." Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "That's the tax."

Zhu Qiyu confirmed again: "Enough is enough, greed is the beginning of all evil."

Yu Qian frowned, thought for a long time, and asked seriously: "I am taught."

Obviously, Yu Qian felt that the Farm Law and the monetary policy implemented by His Majesty are not the same thing at all, and even the Farm Law is more advanced in some respects.

But Yu Qian just felt it, but he couldn't taste it.

If His Majesty didn't say anything, Yu Qian could only regret and think about it by himself.

Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu chatted about important affairs in the court again, and Yu Qian just bowed his head and planned to leave.

"Your Majesty, on the side of the Jingcha, a fifth-rank inspector has been trained by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Lu Zhong walked in with an excited face. He has been really busy lately. .

Since last year, His Majesty has been baiting continuously in order to cut the title of the Supreme Emperor, but he has not caught any big fish. For Jin Yiwei, a year of singing and dancing, this day is simply too difficult.

Not long ago, thinking that there would be some movement in Prince Xiang's Mansion, Lu Zhong checked the Tiqi and was ready to leave Beijing at any time.

This time, Jingchao rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally caught one!

"Oh? Go and have a look!" Zhu Qiyu stood up and nodded in satisfaction.

The fisherman is finally out of the air force!

After the water is drained, the air force is no longer justified.

Chapter 219 Found One, Cut One

For the past year, Zhu Qiyu has been hanging on the harsh law, but it has not been able to fall. The group of fish in the court are too shrewd.
