DAY 138 Bannerman's livelihood (1)
Chapter 138: Banner Livelihood (1)
Since the private memorial broke out in November of the previous year, I have been back in the Emperor's Que after half a year. Yi Zhen feels like a different life!
Even on New Year's Day (this refers to the first day of the Lunar New Year, not the public New Year), the Ministry of Rites regularly commemorated the list of princes and ministers who were in class for fun. The emperor even crossed out Yi's name himself. When the news came, Yi's mind was blank and his holy heart was angry. As for this, did he not even give himself the opportunity to celebrate New Year's Day?
When the incident in Liangjiang broke out, Yi probably understood one thing. The emperor was also afraid that after the monarch and ministers met, he would say something embarrassed. He was inappropriate to accept it and did not accept it, which was even more meaningless. Instead, it was better not to see him today than he was today.
If the emperor thought, it would take a long time after Guiliang's incident before it could be gradually activated. However, after he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, after a few days, Wuren submitted a memorial on the livelihood of the bannermen. This memorial was written by the absurd and unruly man of the bannermen who were living in Beijing, and the comments said: "The eight banner provinces stationed in defense and 500 miles from near Beijing were all stationed in Beijing. I also stayed in Beijing with the bannermen. The emperor was very aggrieved, but the bannermen were still poor, and they were still growing more and more. If they did not support themselves, they would often want to support them, but they would not be able to do anything."
"I said that it is necessary to farmland. Now there are no intermediary fields in the mainland, and the two capitals have flourished. The fertility has not been established. During the reign of Emperor Shizong, he wanted to order the Heilongjiang, Ningguta and other places to farm. There was a conclusion. It was not yet held. It was not early this year. Hundreds of years later, the bannermen were ten times more expensive than today. With a large amount of money and grain, they looked at the infinite teeth and asked to get the quota within the quota. The military and horsemen were not enough to provide idle food. In addition to the quota, the *** tax cannot be added, the national tax cannot be lacked, and the household registration is too numerous to be fed, and there are many people waiting for food to be given, and there is no spare money to give it. The capital also has no room for it. It can only send household registration and hash border garrisons to enjoy the benefits of farming and pastoralism in the world. It is also used to make a real border."
After the memorial was submitted, the emperor praised it greatly and personally Xuan Wuren and the Military Affairs Office. He praised it on the spot, "Did you see it? This is the loyal and upright statement of planning for the country! Wugenfeng regards Taoism as a master of Taoism, but does not regard his long-term study as his own responsibility. Instead, he can see the difficulties in the growth of the bannerman. Moreover, he also mentioned the matter in the previous chapter. It can be seen that his book was not in vain, which is much more brilliant than those false Taoism that has always praised the saints and wisdom but has no plan to offer to the king and father!"
"I dare not be wrongly advised by the emperor, and I am just a fool."
"I hope that the more 'fools' I dynasty' like you, Wugen Peak, the better!" He put the memorial aside and asked, "What do you think about the news that the Imperial Peak is about making a living for the bannermen?"
Wen Xiang smiled bitterly and refused to answer. He served in the Military Affairs Office and was in charge of the ministry under the orders, and was unable to connect with the livelihood of such a bannerman. This should have been Zaiyuan's serious job, but with his ability and character, how could he have a Chen Jue that satisfies the emperor? So he didn't speak, but just knelt on the side and cursed Wei Ren in his heart.
The emperor waited for a while, but no one answered, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong? Why didn't you talk anymore? Sun Ruizhen, Yan Jingming, what do you two say?"
Sun Ruizhen and Yan Jingming complained at the same time, and the emperor's temper was very clear. Since ascending the throne, any new policy has always been implemented with the power of Mount Tai to suppress the eggs and to resist the opposition. However, whether it is the grain, salt, railway, new army system, etc., it can be said to be a strong country and a prosperous people. There are some opposition voices below, which will not hinder the overall situation after all. This time it is different.
Apart from Jae Yuan, several people from the Military Affairs Office were all well-known to Dianzhang. They knew that the memorial of Waren was not considered a good idea. In the early years of Qianlong, they were also taken out by others. On the grounds that the Middle Emperor (referring to Yongzheng) had not been implemented, they asked the successor emperor to publish it separately, but because the opposition from the court and the public was too strong, they had to give up.
The emperor was not unaware of this story, and he was interested in praising Wo Ren from many sources, so the emperor's intention for this matter was very obvious. However, if such a law is implemented, no matter who handles it, it will be equivalent to offending all the bannermen in the world! Who dares to take such a big hot potato easily?
Seeing the two of them stammering and fearful expressions, the emperor was disappointed. Of course, he knew how difficult this job was, and he knew that no matter who took it, he would never have a good life in the future. However, when he just received the memorial from Waren the day before yesterday, he had already thought that whoever was willing to take on this important task would protect the member's health and prosperity for the rest of his life no matter when and where he arrived! Little did he know that there was no room for his words to say? He did not dare to answer correctly at all. He was all a group of unreliable bastards!
Thinking of this, the emperor's voice turned cold in vain, "Sun Ruizhen, are you deaf? What are you asking about?"
"Ah, yes!" Sun Ruizhen hurriedly met and answered while thinking about his mind. Finally, he was still a little anxious and said in a panic, "I think that the emperor's report, as long as the emperor clearly saw that the holy heart was also broken..."
"Of course I have some predictions. Now I'm asking you what you have to say about this matter?"
"I think, I think..." Sun Ruizhen thought for a long time, and suddenly a sentence came out, "I think this matter is very important, why don't the emperor hand it over to the cabinet? The six ministries and the former princes and ministers discuss together to determine the state affairs?"
"Well..." The emperor nodded, leaned back, leaned against the imperial throne, "Sun Ruizhen's words were not unreasonable. Let's settle this for the time being."
"The emperor is doing good deeds like a stream, and I am impressed by you."
The emperor was full of inappropriateness. He hummed coldly for a few times and turned around and went down.
Back in the warm pavilion, the emperor rested for a moment, and suddenly stood up, "Liu Fu? Issued the Imperial. The Hanlin Academy's bachelor, Wu Ren, is a master of the country, and is a model for the ministers. He is promoted to the first-class loyalty... I will reward a mansion in Sanzhuanqiao in the capital, and I personally wrote a plaque for him."
"Zhe." Liu Fu repeated it again, and seeing that the emperor had no more orders, he turned around and sent the order.
The emperor and Shuting discussed politics, and they parted with each other's bad life for the bannerman's livelihood. On the same day, they spread the good things, and at the same time, the memorials of Weiren were spread. Others who were in harmony and disagreement between the monarch and his subjects could not control them. Long lively Emperor was willing to imitate Emperor Shizong of the past and attacked his own people, and to drive all the descendants of the predecessors who conquered the world back then out of the pass, but it caused great panic in the capital!
It was helpless to say that the bannermen were no longer the brave iron cavalry that was "invincible if it was over ten thousand". They were replaced by a bunch of playboys like Zaiyuan and Duanhua, carrying cages and birds all day long, and laying dogs and eagles. It was okay if there were chores, but if there were no chores, they only relied on the few taels of silver paid by the official monthly. If they could not survive, they took out the goods in the mansion and went to the pawnshop like Zaiyuan and Duanhua. Over time, there was actually a house with a pile of tickets, which was empty.
Even so, I still don’t change the color of the wildness. Whenever I talk about it, I just shake my head and tail, and take my ancestors as my honor. "What are my ancestors..." It sounds like a pity and amusing.
This time, I heard that the court was interested in tampering with such old customs and habits, and I was suddenly panicked. If the court really had a conspiracy and wanted to turn the world back, I wouldn't say that the emperor was already happy to see it happening. Even if he did the opposite, it would be impossible. The first urgent task at the moment was to ask the princes and ministers, especially the relatives of the royal family, to find a way to suppress this matter before talking about it.
Therefore, starting from May 12, the residences of all ministers in the capital who could speak in front of the emperor became much more lively than during the Chinese New Year! Especially for Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Shiduo, Yiqiu, Yihua and others, the guests were like Yunlai. The subordinates got the order of the master to block the guests on the grounds of "daowei", but the visitors came in regardless of etiquette and had no way to stop them.
So many people were busy working back and forth, and they were just working behind closed doors. Thinking about the emperor's memorials for Wo Ren, which were awarded and given homes. This shows how satisfied his memorial was. Although there was a speech to the Ministry of Public Affairs, who knows what would happen in the future? Let's take one step at a time.
On May 19th, the ministers gathered in the cabinet lobby and discussed the fact that the proletarian and landless people under his jurisdiction went to Heilongjiang, Ningguta and other places to farm and herd farming. In addition to the officials of the Six Ministry, Yi Qiong, Yi Huafeng, Shi Duo, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and even Senggelinqin, who had been training outside, temporarily recruited the emperor and participated in it. "... hash the border garrison, so that the world can enjoy the benefits of farming and pastoralism, and talk about martial arts in the times, and also use the border." The highest-age middle-aged clan members were Mianyu, who was demoted to Prince Huimu, who was the emperor at that time. He was the fifth old man, and the people in the capital were commonly known as the "Fifth Grandpa" - in charge of the matter and read the copy of the manuscript of Weiren. He was a school of distraction. "The emperor ordered the cabinet and the nine ministers of the six ministries to discuss. Please express your views."
"I'll talk first." The person who spoke was Gushan Beizi Yigu, who was about 35 years old, and had a blue flag to support his rank in the Internal Affairs Office. He was also a little talented in Beijing, proficient in calligraphy and painting, especially the character of strictness. It is said that he was the second disciple of Liang Tongshu, a famous calligraphy master in Qianlong Dynasty. He was deeply impressed by his "having multiple people, entering and leaving Sumi, with a wide brushstroke, and his brushstrokes were as strong as a sky and a skylight". He was very talented in Beijing. He heard that he was the first to stand out, and everyone's attention attracted, "... In my opinion, Old Gen is this
The article is just a wise man. Not to mention Heilongjiang, Ningguta, the land of all the people are everywhere, and the barren area is the place where all the criminal officials in the Celestial Empire have been sent to the place where many people have been sent to the emperor. Why should our descendants send it there to work hard? Let’s talk about Heilongjiang, there are no fields around the capital, so is there any wasteland there? Besides, the bitter and cold land of Heilongjiang, and the people’s livelihood and conditions are very different from those in the capital. When the bannermen arrive, they will work hard for a year and the harvest will be difficult to maintain. How will they fill their stomachs at that time?"
"Yes! What Yi Beizi said is that! The bitter and cold land of Heilongjiang has always been sent to the place where officials have committed crimes. The children of the people under the Central Beijing have not committed any crimes. How can they be sent there?"
Seeing the crowd's affection, Zaiyuan rose up and shouted loudly, "Don't quarrel!" After a quiet moment, the crowd said, "This is the cabinet lobby, aren't you waiting for your own house! The emperor is asking us to discuss it together, are you going to quarrel here? Another person who dares to make noise and insults the court, I will strictly observe one by one!"
Give him a shout, everyone dared not make any noise, Zaiyuan bowed to the surroundings, "Everyone, the people of Beijing Central Banner have a difficult life. The emperor saw it and felt sad. This time, there was a memorial from Gen, and the heavens were ready for it. I originally wanted to find a foundation for the people of Beijing Central and other provinces to settle down, not intentionally mean to the descendants of this clan. You will become the first to be a master of heaven and a grand duke,..."
He talked for a long time, and the cabinet lobby was quiet, but each of them sat upright like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, calculating each other's small abacus.
************************************
The cabinet discussed that, based on three reasons, the "unnecessary people in the Eight Banners were divided into border areas, without any discussion" refuted. These three reasons were: Xing and Sheng Jing were rich in ginseng (that is, ginseng, which was used in the official documents of the Qing Dynasty). After the bannermen went north, they were afraid that some people would not do farming, so they instead went to dig ginseng. The water and soil of Heilongjiang were very different, and the bannermen in Beijing could not cultivate the same farming as the locals, and if the harvest was poor, it would be difficult to support them. Finally, there was no open land around Fengtian for farming.
The cabinet and the Military Affairs Office submitted the agreed manuscript to the imperial front, and the emperor was furious, "Is this the result of the joint discussion between the cabinet? Do you really think that I am a three-year-old child, or a son of a noble and noble family who has never taken a step forward in the capital? Well, there is no land for farming in Fengtian? You can also think of such a reason?"
Zaiyuan listened to the emperor's bad intentions and intended to excuse his colleagues. He replied, "The emperor calmed down his anger. The slave thought that the heaven and earth were in the north, the climate was cold, and the land should not be cultivated..."
"You think? When is it your turn?" the emperor cursed sternly, "I ask you, when have you been to the northern part of the Seita River? How did you know that it is not suitable for farming? Twelve years after the revelation of the sky, the Central Plains had been severe drought for many years, and hunger was everywhere. The people helped the elderly and young people out of seclusion to escape famine. Although the northern part of the Seita River was cold, the time for farming was shorter than that of the Central Plains, but the land was fertile and the resources were abundant. Even if the people felt that they could not leave their hometown, they were in the northern country and had no food and clothing. With each other's help, the refugees gained more every day. It was precisely for this that our ancestors of the heavenly dynasty had the basis for success - Sun Ruizhen, Yan Jingming, Wen Xiang, are I wrong?"
"The Emperor's words are nothing wrong."
"Then..." The emperor threw down the preface and scattered it on the ground with a loud bang. "When the Ministry of Interchange discussed it, why did anyone say that Fengtian had no words? You don't say a word?"
"this……"
"No need to say it, the left and right are still thinking about their own selfish interests. This is you, you, you!" The emperor pointed his fingers one by one on the ministers, "This is what you always say, is the true nature of a gentleman standing in the court?"
The emperor cursed, "No need to mention Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others. You are all well-read books of sages. You know that they are wrong, but you can't get rid of evil. It's shameful!"
A heart-killing remark made Yan Jingming, Weng Xincun, Xu Naizhao and others feel pain and regretful. They leaned down to the ground and met. The emperor took a breath and said coldly, "Aren't you all afraid of leaving behind a crooked reputation and offending the bannermen of the whole world. Will it be difficult for you to become an official in the future? I am not afraid! I have made up my mind to implement this matter thoroughly. No matter how difficult it is, I must continue to do it consistently!"
Although the emperor was angry for a moment and said that he wanted to personally handle the relocation of bannermen in various provinces as the emperor, it was just an angry sentence after all: How could the emperor personally do those chores and other chores, but instead let the ministers rest?
The Minister of the Military Affairs Office repeatedly appealed, and the emperor's face calmed down. He sent it back on the grounds that the comments were "very confusing, confusing, and complicated, and the reason why the proposal was not the truth of the place," and handed over to the cabinet for a second time to discuss and report it separately.
Turning back to Chenfu Hall from Zhengda Guangming Hall, the emperor pondered for a moment, letting the Liufu Zhuan Yan Jingming and Sun Ruizhen, Xu Naizhao, Wei Ren, Zuodu Censor Yuan Jiasan and others go to the Warehouse to see the carriage. After the salute, the emperor did not let them get up. He just asked, "The people in the royal family are inevitably protected by the scattered households of the Eight Banners. I have expected this level, but... Why do you gentlemen who set up a court have to join them? Or do you open your eyes blind and cannot see what kind of virtues are the bannermen around the capital? Except for a limited number of people such as Prince Gong, it is still called available; which one of them is not serious but just relying on a few taels of salary and silver to live absurdly? Does such a love affair need to be changed in your heart?"
"The emperor has no mistakes in the wise and wise men. There are many unworthy men. Not only are the emperor's clear views, but they are also the things that the people in the capital and even the bannermen know in their hearts. However, I think that the bannermen have a difficult life, but never think about farming. The origin is not a day. All the pilgrimage masters have been doing this..."
"You say whatever you think, no need to mess with it."
"Yes." Sun Ruizhen did not dare to say anything else, and replied, "I think that the emperor is working hard to govern, and I should serve the emperor with sincerity, work hard to help the master to comfort my heart. However, if the name is not upright, the words are not up to me. My identity is a bit embarrassing, and no one can serve the flag. It is better to ask the emperor to issue an order, choose a person with good moral character from the royal family, come out to handle the matter with full service."
The emperor thought and nodded. He also knew that the flag affairs were naturally the most appropriate to manage the flags, but who should we look for?
"Can anyone choose in your heart?"
"I used the *** handle to control it, but I didn't dare to make a recommendation lightly."
"Don't be afraid, just say whatever you think."
Weiren suddenly replied, "I thought that Prince Gong Yi entered the Qishu Court as the prince, and whether it was prestige or virtue, he was both good at both the best, and could do his job in making a living for the people of the restaurant."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and his face immediately turned cold. The first thing he thought of was that Wo Ren was not inspired by Lao Liu, and even this memorial that won the emperor's heart was also instructed by Lao Liu?
After thinking about it, I immediately realized that I was thinking about it. For the establishment of Tongwenguan, Yi and others put Wuren on the fire, and they deliberately helped the fire, which made Wuren suffer a lot. Although they were all for the sake of official business, the whole country knew about the feud between Wuren and Yi. In this way, Wuren seemed to be using this opportunity to take revenge on Lao Liu?
Weiren knelt on the ground, feeling the power of heaven. After a while, sweat wet the clothes on his back. He knew that he had answered the big taboos of doing things. He didn't mention Yi's previous year's affairs, but just said that Guiliang was killed. The emperor hated the rest of Xu. No one knew what he was thinking. He rashly advised, but he should not cause any trouble for himself!
The emperor said slowly, "Old Liu? Let me think about this matter and discuss it again."
Wu Ren breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly met, "Zhe."
Chapter completed!
