Bi Ziyan had the same concern and raised his hand to Zhu Xu, "Emperor, I need to discuss the matters of the cabinet again in detail. Other ministers will be suppressed and discuss it later."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and refused flatly, "No need, you have discussed it before, take out the controversial discussion, and everything else will follow the discussion, let's start!"

Bi Ziyan's expression moved and sighed in his heart that the emperor was still angry after all. If he had never acted so recklessly in the past, he would not have given court officials a chance to speak.

"Abide by the order." He had no choice but to raise his hand to respond.

The following is about the reform of the six ministries.

Bi Ziyan looked at the ministers and could clearly feel that the bodies of the ministers became more and more straight.

If the cabinet's overview of the government affairs in the world are county officials, then the six ministries are in charge of the current management, and everyone should pay attention to it!

Bi Ziyan gently cleared his throat and looked at the memorial saying, "The Ministry of Revenue, which controls the country's land, household registration, salary, money and money, Baoquan Bureau, etc., and manages the world's taxes, money and grain. After the memorial of the Minister of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue has complicated rights and responsibilities, and is overwhelmed, so I requested streamlining."

Bi Ziyan paused here and glanced at Fu Changzong.

The others also looked over without hesitation. Fu Changzong was also a sensitive figure, a real relative, the emperor's uncle, and countless uncles who usurped his nephew's kingdom in history.

The reduction of the power of the Ministry of Revenue also gave the court officials a space to think in their hearts. For example, did the emperor intend to suppress Fu Changzong and slowly make him fade out of the court and restore the ancestral system of "external relatives do not interfere in politics"?

Fu Changzong lowered his head slightly, as if he had not seen these gazes, and remained calm.

Zhu Xu's expression remained motionless, and he saw all the movements of his ministers. His fingers gently tapped the table, and his heart was not calm.

This court discussion also tests his ability to control his ministers.

"The Ministry of Revenue is no longer responsible for taxation," Bi Ziyan's voice was clear and echoed in the hall, saying: "The State Administration of Taxation will govern the world's taxation. The Ministry of Revenue is no longer responsible for minting coins, and his power will be transferred to the Royal Money House..."

Although all the ministers knew this for a long time, they were still shocked when they listened at this time. The two most important powers of the Ministry of Revenue were separated, and the weight of the Ministry of Revenue would be greatly reduced.

It has been drafted a long time ago, and the Ministry of Revenue has no objection, so other people naturally have no way to refute it.

Bi Ziyan wanted to end today's court discussion as soon as possible. After asking, he said: "Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel has the right to appoint, call, and remove officials, and the right to assess the authority to transfer the Supervisory Council. All officials' call and appointment and removal are required to be assessed by the Supervisory Council, and agree..."

The court officials listened and looked at Prince Jing in front of him without any hesitation and dismissal. The power of the Governor Yuan is now amazing. Although there is no right to appoint and remove officials, this "assessment" is even more terrifying than the six-year Beijing inspection!

Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Personnel, also had no objection. The ministers listened silently, and they were all waiting.

"Ministry of Justice," Bi Ziyan looked up and saw that the Minister of Justice Ni Wenhuan had been imprisoned last night. He immediately said: "Ministry of Justice is no longer responsible for trial cases, and has full-time criminal cases. Criminal prison departments are set up in various places..."

The Ministry of Justice has a very small position in the six ministries, and can be considered half transparent.

Bi Ziyan did not give the ministers a chance to speak. As soon as the Ministry of Justice ended, he said, "The Ministry of Works is no longer responsible for the repair of the palace, the construction of ships, and the establishment of a special department, and the cabinet..."

"Ministry of Rites..."

"Ministry of War..."

"The Supervisory Yuan has the responsibility to supervise the government affairs of the world, has the right to investigate the legality and compliance of all government affairs below the cabinet, and has the right to investigate all officials below the third rank..."

"Dali Temple is the highest case-trial yamen in the country. The three yamen in various places have been renamed Dali Temple, and are divided into three levels: provincial, prefecture, county and county..."

"Taipu Temple..."

"Honglu Temple..."

The ministers all listened quietly. The yamen in the capital are very different from before, and they also need to make changes in the opposite direction.

‘It’s really... different.’ This is the common voice of the ministers, and there is also a vague expectation. This is a sign of the center of the Ming Dynasty!

Bi Ziyan said the mouth was dry, but he had to continue. He looked at everyone and said, "The top ten granaries, the imperial court has ten granaries to store enough food to deal with possible disasters at any time. The war is expected to be 10 million stones..."

The ministers secretly looked up at Zhu Xu, and were amazed: The emperor's vision is always longer than they do. This top ten granaries will be an extremely huge source of confidence for the Ming Dynasty!

"Royal Money House," Bi Ziyan pursed his dry lips and said, "Responsible for evaluating the amount of silver coins in the Ming Dynasty, minting coins, issuing bank notes... The court will strictly prohibit the people from minting coins, issuing bank notes, and lending..."

These were originally the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue. To put it alone, the court officials were a little worried, afraid that the money shop would become the court and the emperor's wallet would not be restricted.

"State Taxation Administration..."

Before Bi Ziyan finished speaking, the ministers standing couldn't help but look up, look at Bi Ziyan, and then look at the high emperor.

The most touching thing about the Ming Dynasty today is nothing more than two things: money and grain. The State Administration of Taxation is in charge. It seems to be a "bureau" and its status is directly at the "ministerial department".

"The State Administration of Taxation is divided into national taxes, local taxes, and national taxes are responsible for grain taxes, commercial taxes, salt taxes, tea taxes, customs taxes... The local taxes are responsible for corvee, chariot and horse taxes, and silk taxes..." Bi Ziyan talked endlessly.

The ministers below were already frowning, and even though they had discussed it more than once, they still felt particularly uncomfortable.

The court took away all the big heads, what should we do in the local area? It was not that they were the governors and the governors concerned, but that all local officials and even the people would oppose it.

But the court obviously decided, and they could not object.

Bi Ziyan made a long speech, and the taxes involved were very complicated, and it was very troublesome to listen to them. If he hadn't read the documents before, he would have been like listening to the heavenly book at this moment.

"Food tax..." Bi Ziyan said this, paused, and looked up at the ministers below.

The ministers unconsciously straightened their backs, staring at Bi Ziyan, and anxiously waiting for his words below.

Bi Ziyan also knew in his heart that this was the most sensitive issue. He frowned, suppressing his bad premonition in his heart, and said, "Restore Taizu's tax and grain system, collect one bucket of a mu, and it is no exception if the court reduces the exemption..."

"I object!"

The first person who jumped out made the ministers in the court stunned. It was not the governors and governors from all over the country, but the left minister of the Ministry of Justice and Shen Xun!

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked unexpectedly interested.

Shen Xun came from the Shen family in Jiangnan. He was famous for several generations and had a very good reputation. He did a good job as the governor of Shandong and the Minister of Justice, and he was quite practical.

Bi Ziyan had expected it, put down the memorial, and said calmly, "What do you want to say to Lord Shen?"

Shen Xun was upright and determined, and was in his early forties. He was young and strong. He raised his hand to Bi Ziyan, and then said to Zhu Xu in a deep voice: "Emperor, I am not against restoring the Taizu grain system. But now my Ming Dynasty is full of disasters, and there are millions of victims. I rely on the gentry to survive. I think that I should not collect taxes from the gentry at this time. I am encouraging me to make more efforts to alleviate the court's worries..."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and looked at each other secretly. They had heard Chen Xun's statement before.

Chen Xun's words are upright and reasonable, and it is really hard to refute. If it is in normal times, such a way of dealing with them is also excellent.

However, the Ming Dynasty is not an ordinary period now, and no one except Zhu Xu truly realized how terrible this unsudden disaster was!

This is how the Ming Dynasty in history dealt with it. Each policy was as usual, following the rules and did not realize how deeply the disaster that had lasted for many years had hurt the Ming Dynasty.

Even though Zhu Xu had accumulated strength for the Ming Dynasty after years of reform, whether he could survive this "little glacier" safely in the end, the Ming Dynasty's vitality was still a bit unknown.

Therefore, in extraordinary times, we must do extraordinary methods!

"I agree with Lord Shen's words."

Zhang Wenda left the list and said calmly: "Emperor, Taizu's law has been abolished for nearly two hundred years, and it is no longer appropriate. Now taxes on gentry are not in line with the truth and reason. Please discuss it temporarily."

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Wenda and narrowed his eyes slightly. Especially the conspicuous ring of his finger, the Ming Dynasty did not promote this thing, and only he liked it.

Zhang Wenda has always been smooth. Sleek does not mean that he does not do things. On the contrary, he is very good at doing things and is even better than Bi Ziyan when dealing with government affairs. However, Zhu Xu doesn't like it, so he can't grasp this person and cannot judge whether it is beneficial or unfavorable to his political reform.

His words make sense, and few of his ministers can refute them.

But in Zhu Xu's view, his approach was not to save the Ming Dynasty, or even relieve or stop it, but to continue to accelerate the Ming Dynasty into the abyss!

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, his expression still.

"I also agree with Lord Shen's proposal."

"I agree."

Some people took the lead and agreed with Chen Xun. In fact, they could tell at a clear eye that this was Zhang Wenda's supporter.

Zhu Xu's face remained unchanged, his eyes searched among the court officials, and finally stopped at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting knew how to leave and raised his hand to Zhu Xu, "Emperor, last year, the silver pay for disaster relief in the six southwestern provinces exceeded 5 million, and the grain exceeded 8 million, while the imperial court tax was only 20 million, and the silver was 2 million. If the source was not opened, the court would not be able to make ends meet within two years, and the salaries of all officials would not be paid..."

As soon as Sun Chuanting finished speaking, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the hall, and the court officials all started to talk in a low voice, with a congestion on their faces.

In recent years, the imperial court has taken quite generous actions. Many people have forgotten this point. If you seriously investigate it, the imperial court's income is indeed very small, and the emperor's treasury was empty a few years ago!

Chen Xun had already stepped down and said no more. His words were out of public intention and did not want the emperor to think that he was "affiliated with the party".

The supporters of the two Zhang Wenda saw that they were the Liaodong Prime Minister and Zhang Wenda's boss changed slightly and they all retreated one after another.

Zhang Wenda looked hesitant when he listened to Sun Chuanting's words. It was not unreasonable that Sun Chuanting's words were just not acceptable, but he was not very able to accept taxes from gentry.

Zhu Xu would not give him a chance, and said with a final say, "Since the ministers have no objection, this article will be passed. The cabinet will issue a detailed constitution, and no one can delay, block responsibility, or slack off! This matter is related to the country. Those who dare to have two intentions will be executed immediately!"

Zhu Xu's words were as thunderous as the screams of Ruan Dacheng and others echoed in the hall again, which was chilling.

Zhang Wenda's mouth moved and he immediately stepped back silently.
Chapter completed!
