Chapter nine hundred and ninety-ninth I am unwavering
Everyone was still listening to Sun Chuanting's series of words, and the last "Yu Dacheng" was thought about.
Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shaanxi and Xi in the early Chongzhen period, adhered to the principle of "pacifying" when suppressing bandits. In the end, he was impeached and dismissed from office. Later, Yang He was resurrected and he was recommended to be a minister in the Ministry of Works. Because of the corruption case within the Ministry of Works, he "resigned from office" and was considered to have taken the blame for Xu Dahua.
This person has no military ability or vision, but he has great achievements in civil affairs. People often recommend him in the court and the country, but he has never had a suitable position. Therefore, he is now the vice president of the Royal Court, teaching and educating people and training officials from all over the country.
Bi Ziyan thought about it and said for a moment: "This person... can."
Sun Chengzong said: "Yes."
Having been three to two, King Jing and Wang Qiaonian looked at each other and said, "Okay."
Seeing that this matter was settled, Bi Ziyan suddenly felt aura in his heart and said, "Okay, write the memorial and revise the big statement. We will go to see the emperor together in the evening. The big discussion will begin soon. Governors from all over the country and the governors must be ready at any time!"
At noon, Fu Mansion.
Zhu Xu, Fu Changzong, Fu Tao and others gathered around. The table was filled with steaming wine and food, and the people sitting on the table were smiling.
"Your Majesty, I have tasted the wine I brought from Shaanxi for sixty years." Fu Changzong poured wine for Zhu Xu and said with a smile.
"Oh, is that right? You have to try it." Zhu Xu picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
Suddenly, he smiled and said, "No, it's mellow, and the aftertaste is long. It's a good wine."
Fu Changzong and Fu Tao also smiled and accompanied Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu had just put down his wine glass and from outside the door, a little guy about three years old, leaned over his head and wanted to enter but didn't dare to enter.
Fu Changzong saw it and said, "Come in."
The little guy came in timidly, stood between Fu Changzong and Fu Tao, and looked up at Zhu Xu with his head and eyes.
Fu Changzong said: "Emperor, this is my eldest grandson, Fu Yunjing. Jing'er, come and see the emperor."
The little guy was so crazy that he looked a little dazed. He listened to Fu Changzong's words, took a step back and saluted seriously: "Fu Yunjing meets the emperor, long live the emperor."
This person looks very similar to Fu Changzong. Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Put a stool for Jing'er, let's eat together, the whole family, there is no need to be too polite."
Fu Yunjing looked up at Fu Changzong. Fu Changzong paused for a moment and nodded.
Fu Yunjing sat down next to Fu Tao slowly, sitting there. The little guy had no expression, either being restrained or pretending, and he felt like he was just stunned.
Zhu Xu reached out and touched the little guy's head, saying, "My eldest son is still a little younger. When you get older, Jing'er will go to the palace if you have nothing to do, so that the children can have fun together."
Fu Changzong's eyes flashed with joy, but his face remained motionless.
Fu Tao could also understand Zhu Xu's hidden meaning, and picked up the wine glass and said, "Yes. Your Majesty, I wish you a glass."
Zhu Xu smiled and cried with him, then said some gossip, and then turned back to the topic.
"Uncle, do you think there should be five prime ministers in the east, west, south, north and middle places?" Zhu Xu took a bite of the dish and said.
Fu Changzong put down his chopsticks after hearing this, and said, "The six provinces in Liaodong, Shaanxi and Gansu have their own characteristics, and there is no problem with having a prime minister. But the other three, in my opinion, are a means of strengthening local control in order to seize power. The "five prime ministers" can indeed further promote the development of the "new policy", but this "premier minister" has too much power and will inevitably continue to expand in the process of promoting the "new policy". The "new policy" cannot be completed in three or five years. If it lasts too long, I am worried that it will not be revoked so easily."
Zhu Xu looked as usual, nodded slightly, and said, "I have thought about this, are there anything else?"
Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu, pondered and said, "I... I am still worried about the cabinet. Although the cabinet adheres to the emperor's usual ideas and ideas, it does not have the emperor's prestige and means. If you blindly ignore the rules, there may be a big mess."
Zhu Xu picked up the dish and said, "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Fu Changzong felt more stressed when he listened to Zhu Xu's words, and then said: "Master, the local situation is more than ten times more complicated than we had expected before. If we rely solely on the strong pressure from the emperor and the court, from top to bottom, I am worried that it will backfire, so I still need to pay equal attention to both soft and hard, combine water and fire, and act calmly..."
These are all clichés, and Zhu Xu chewed the vegetables while thinking.
At this time, the situation was not only not clear, but became more and more complicated. It took Zhu Xu seven years to stabilize the court and created a court that supported the "new policy". The place was more complicated, how long would it take?
Is it possible that time always has to be wasted on these people, and when will the matter be delayed?
What Fu Changzong said was not his own idea. I am afraid that most of the governors outside the capital would be like this.
Zhu Xu put down his chopsticks, drank a sip of wine, and said lightly, "I am unwavering in the 'New Policy', and I will not change it if I collapse!"
Fu Changzong listened to Zhu Xu's plain voice like thunder, his eyes slightly condensed.
He had actually expected that he would lean slightly at this time. He knew that Zhu Xu's words were not for him to listen to, but he needed to pass them outside.
Zhu Xu's eyes were cold and sharp, and his voice was filled with a clanging voice, saying, "I don't care what you or what they think. These things can be argued and discussed by the senior officials of the court, but in actual operation, inside and outside the capital must be consistent with the cabinet! There must be no inconsistent actions, and words and deeds will appear!"
"The court and officials at all levels must look at the "New Deal" from the perspective of the country and history, and must form a unified and firm understanding of the "New Deal". Anyone or thing that appears against me, against the cabinet, or against the "New Deal" will never be compatible!"
"Last year, I didn't have time to sort out many things. I made it clear that although this year has improved a lot, I couldn't make any free moves. However, when I clean up Chahar, I will focus on the "new policy". I will sort out the things that I didn't care about, tell them to give up fantasies, abandon luck, abandon delusions, and honestly promote the "new policy". Those who have two minds can still escape unscathed now. Otherwise, when I free up my hands, they will have no chance to protect themselves!"
Fu Changzong's expression changed slightly, and there seemed to be a storm passing by in his ears.
Fu Tao was silent, and he seemed to hear the sound of the horse hooves of the long-lost tik horse in front of him.
But Fu Yunjing looked at Zhu Xu in a daze, then turned to his grandfather, with a ignorant expression.
After Zhu Xu said this, he picked up the chopsticks and said, "Uncle, I will transfer you into the cabinet in advance, you know what is going on."
Fu Changzong was stunned, and then he realized something and said, "Yes."
The authority of the cabinet is still not enough. Bi Ziyan and others have too shallow foundations, and even with Zhu Xu's support, it seems that they are not good enough. But Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu will enter the cabinet differently. These two are not only Zhu Xu's confidants, but also the leader of the "Imperial Party", but also in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Personnel has been able to greatly increase the authority of the cabinet for many years. At that time, the local governor will probably no longer have the ability to "bargain"!
The governors outside the capital, Li Banghua, Fang Kongzhao, Huang Chengyuan, Lu Daqi, Qian Longxi, Jiang Dejing, Zhao Pinglan and others gathered together, and their expressions were quite happy to drink tea and chat.
Although the cabinet has the intention to set up the "Prime Minister's Office" to control their local governors, with this buffer, they do not need to face the cabinet head-on, and the pressure from the cabinet will not be directly pressed on them. There is enough room for many things to deal with and do things calmly.
But I didn't know that a more powerful pressure was brewing and was about to sweep.
Zhu Xu stayed in the Fu Mansion for more than half an hour, and accompanied by Fu Changzong and his son, he walked out the door.
While walking, Fu Tao said: "Emperor, the royal bank now has more than 100 million taels of gold and silver, and the silver dollars, paper money and copper coins issued are also 30 million, but according to the statistics and observations of me, it is far from enough. I have submitted a report to the cabinet and this year I plan to issue 30 million again through exchanges, court procurement, expenditure and other means..."
Zhu Xu had no idea about the economic capacity of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Tibetan silver among the people. If the imperial court issued too much, it would expand and cause an impact on the money market. At this time, this kind of thing would never happen.
"Brother, this matter must be cautious. If the royal bank goes out, it must focus on 'exchange'. It must ensure that the value of the new currency is stable and that the people must trust it. Especially if there is no situation where the repayment cannot be done. Even if it is a large-scale run, even if I go out of the treasury or even the treasury, it must ensure that the repayment is normal..."
Zhu Xu seriously instructed, saying: "I will ask the cabinet to guarantee this matter, but the royal bank has no affiliation with the cabinet. Brother, you must remember this clearly!"
If the royal money house is handed over to the cabinet, not to mention the money inside, his plan alone will be destroyed.
Chapter completed!
