What are they afraid of!

Thinking of Shen Xingshi and others' bold actions, Zhu Yijun was stunned. Since those civil servants dared to act recklessly, let alone those military officers.

He asked after a long time.

"Mr. Zhang has any good ideas."

When he said this, he seemed a little disappointed. Once again, he discovered that many things were not as simple as he imagined.

"The reason why the officers of the garrison oppose the migration of military households is that many of the lost military households are their tenants, but the loss of military households is not unique to this dynasty. I think they are more worried about the abolition and merger of the garrison after the loss of military households. After all, whether the garrison is abolition or merger, their interests will definitely be lost. I believe Your Majesty also knows this. What I want to say here is how to deal with this matter."

Compared to the emperor, Zhang Juzheng seemed very cautious. Even though he had an idea in his mind, he still considered every word. After all, in the past two years, he had felt that the emperor was growing up day by day and his attitude towards him was also changing.

The emperor is always growing up and always has his own ideas. So it is better to be cautious.

"Since there are few people in this garrison, it is natural to lay off and merge. Besides, the court has trained a new army, and the number of military households in the garrison is decreasing, so what's wrong with laying off? As for the damage to interests, the land of the garrison was given to the military households at that time. Now they have embezzled them, and I have not pursued these things to be merciless to them. They are not greedy enough. Do you have to let me investigate thoroughly? Then I will check it out."

Zhu Yijun's words were neat and neat, and he thought they would win Zhang Juzheng's praise, but Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I am asking for my visit due to illness, and I am afraid of this is your treatment!"

"It's not inappropriate, it's wrong!"

Zhang Juzheng regained his stubborn nature as soon as he talked about government affairs. At this time, his eyebrows were raised and he said simply,

"If you investigate this matter thoroughly according to the emperor's will, it seems fair, but in fact it is insecure and will inevitably cause chaos."

“Is it that serious?”

Zhu Yijun asked in surprise.

"have,"

Although Zhang Juzheng was ill, he still had a grim expression that was enough to intimidate people. He said calmly,

"If you want to govern a big country, it is the time when my Ming Dynasty implemented the reforms such as the one-whip method. It is the most taboo to create troubles. Although those people are greedy, they still have the ancestral system and cannot be too hasty. If they are directly abolished, so many military officers in the garrison will be placed there and how to maintain them in the place. Therefore, I can't sleep all night."

"So what should be done in Mr. Zhang's opinion?"

Zhang Juzheng heard the unhappiness in Zhu Yijun's tone, so he said:

"Your Majesty, I insist on clearing the land of Zhangzhang across the country and implementing the "one-whip" law. The purpose is to manage finances for the court and increase income; the second is to punish the powerful and protect the common people. These reforms are all for the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. As for the military households of the garrison, I think it has reached a point where it must be changed, especially now, since the new army has been trained, the military system of the garrison is not enough to be used, so of course it must be changed!"

"Mr. Zhang said."

Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and said again.

"However, Zhang Wusheng just said that it is not appropriate to make big moves to avoid chaos. If the military system of the garrison is changed, wouldn't it be a big move?"

"His Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng said in response to the emperor's gaze.

"The restructuring that I am talking about is not a big fight, but a restructuring under the preservation of some of its interests/"

“Save its interests?”

"At least part of the interests, the officers of this garrison were hereditary and divorced with the country. This was the ancestral system set by Emperor Gao at that time and could not be abolished easily, so this part must be kept."

"What Yuan Fu said is very much." Zhu Yijun nodded and said,

"But since there is no garrison and the officers are retained, can the court raise these idle people?"

"That's the crux of the matter."

Zhang Juzheng looked at His Majesty and said directly,

"In fact, although this garrison system has its drawbacks, such as the training of soldiers is scattered and unusable, it always has some uses in the local area. It is still a deterrent for bandits and evildoers. After all, they are the official army of the court, so I think that the garrison system may be changed to a police officer."

"Change the army to police?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng in confusion and asked.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

She is not unfamiliar with the "police". After all, he saw this word in another post last year. He learned some ideas about this, but he did not take this matter to heart at that time. Now, after hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, he has some impression.

"The military soldiers in the garrison have been known to everyone. When they are used to fight against the Tartars, even the elites on the nine sides will win less and lose more. Now that the national dynasty has trained a new army, the mainland garrison may wish to change it to patrol stations, so that they can obey the orders of the local officials and exercise the responsibility of arrest, and avoid local bandits and thieves. And the officers of the garrison can be changed to police officers, which is also a matter of both officers and soldiers. In this way, officers can receive their salary on the spot. In the past, they only received their salary when they were in real positions. However, after changing the army to police, they will definitely have more shortcomings than in the army. I believe that most people's interests can be taken care of..."

Listening to Zhang Ju talking about the benefits of changing the army to police, Zhu Yijun was silent for a long time before speaking:

"This is also a well-established method. However, in this way, local expenses will inevitably increase. And since there is no fire and money spent in the local area, how can the cost of the patrol police be maintained?"

Fire consumption!

Two years ago, when the Ming Dynasty implemented the "One Whip Law", some disputes arose due to the physical collection of fire and silver. Faced with some officials saying "excuses on fire and exploitation", Zhang Juzheng could only defend himself by saying, "Reform is to seek prosperity and strength of the country, but he will never impose excessive taxes and get extra money for the court. Local officials collect taxes for the court, and act in accordance with the law, and no one lets them exploit the common people!"

Faced with this situation, Zhu Yijun finally proposed a solution - made one liang, five qian, two qian, and one silver dollar by the Ministry of Revenue. By promoting silver dollars, the local governments could avoid the consumption of fire and silver. Of course, after Tonghai, the imperial court had a large amount of "Japanese copper" that could be used to mint copper coins, and also solved the tax payment of less than one qian. The people could exchange enough money in the bank for one or two thousand documents, and the fractions of less than one qian could be paid directly at the price. Local governments could exchange money in the bank for silver dollars.

In this way, although the people are prevented from being exploited by the government, the income of local officials has dropped sharply. The final solution is that the court allows it to retain 10% of the land taxes and taxes for local expenses. Of course, this is also because the court's income has increased sharply in the past two years, otherwise the court would not be able to take out the silver. Things are always easier to handle when you have money. This is the case for the people to live at home, and the court is also the same.

"Your Majesty, this money can only be paid by the court. The salt law reform has begun to show results in the past two years. It is estimated that in two years, the court will be able to collect salt taxes of no less than 15 million taels per year. Since the court has sufficient expenses, it is better to reserve 30% of the land taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the local area..."

Zhang Juzheng expressed his idea that he had already thought of. The reason why he was so generous was because the court's income is sufficient now, and the tariffs alone exceeded 15 million taels. In contrast, the land tax and miscellaneous taxes were only 8 million taels. Zhu Yijun nodded and said yes.

"It is natural for the government to collect taxes, take them from the people and use them for the people. As long as there is no additional collection, the people can benefit from it. Since Mr. Zhang has already thought about it, then do it like this."

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhu Yijun said again:

"In addition, in order to reflect my care for the hereditary officials of the Wei Institute, I have also allocated one million taels of silver from the inner court's supply and use warehouse for the purpose of maintaining integrity."

Zhu Yijun took out his private money so generously to calm the matter because the palace could earn more than 15 million taels of income from tariffs every year. In addition, the income from the house search two years ago made the inner court even more money "can't spend it all", so naturally he became generous.

Even though he knew that the emperor was generous because there was money in the palace, Zhang Juzheng was still quite moved and couldn't help but burst out from his dry eyes, and he choked and said:

"Emperor, once the hereditary officers of the guards in the world know your generous actions, they will definitely run around and tell me, and long live the mountain."

Zhu Yijun pursed and muttered:

"I just hope that they can understand Mr. Zhang's painstaking efforts and not cause trouble for Mr. Zhang. In the past two years, Mr. Zhang has worked day and night for state affairs. I really can't bear to let them cause trouble for Mr. Zhang anymore."

Just not causing trouble for Zhang Juzheng, he also doesn't want those people to hold a grudge against him. This emperor will cause trouble at that time. Since that's the case, then spend more money to buy peace. Now there is too much money in the palace.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng was moved to support his body with both hands and wanted to stand up and thank him for his gratitude. However, because he could no longer hold on, when he supported his hands, he had no strength to relax and collapsed on the chair like a pile of mud. Zhu Yijun and Ke were both shocked. Seeing Zhang Juzheng's thin forehead sweating down, Zhu Yijun shouted in horror:

"Mr. Zhang, you, what's wrong with you..."

Zhang Juzheng, who was conscious, wanted to hold on tenaciously, but his whole body was as weak as cotton. He moved his eyelids and even lost the strength to speak.

"Mr. Zhang, hurry up, call the Imperial Doctor!"

The emperor's order made the six gods' unruly guest quickly stretch his head and shouted out the door:

"Imperial Doctor!"
Chapter completed!
