Chapter 1173: Inviolable Ancestral System
Thanks to the book friends: the reward of "Seven Vowels"!
…
Jin Zhong was standing under the eaves not far away, with only half of his body exposed, looking at Yuan Qijiang coldly.
The first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death, but Ma Su's establishment is not in the Ministry of War, so he is quite calm.
Yuan Qijiang snorted coldly: "Military households are the ancestral system. Bo Xinghe proposed to change the system out of nowhere. This is disrespectful to Emperor Gao!"
Ma Su smiled and said: "Master Yuan, do you have any objections to the family teacher? Then you can go to Fangjiazhuang to ask for an interview. The teacher must be very happy to discuss the pros and cons of military household registration with Master Yuan."
Lan Binglie came here in a hurry after hearing the news. He stood beside Ma Su and cupped his hands and said, "Ma Su came to the military department just to study. If Mr. Yuan has political affairs to discuss, why not make a memorial. Of course, go to Fangjiazhuang also."
Ma Su also saved some face for Yuan Qijiang, but Lan Binglie directly pierced Yuan Qijiang's true face.
What a shitty ancestral system, it's just that if the military households are restructured, some people in the local and military departments will lose those benefits.
As for finding Ma Su, it was nothing more than to vent his anger, and Yuan Qijiang didn't dare to tear his face, just making a fuss about the ancestral system.
What are you worried about?
Generous!
Yuan Qijiang's eyelids were twitching, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't be long-winded with you, it violates the ancestral system, everyone can discuss it, and now there are probably more than a thousand people who know about it, hmph!"
Since he mentioned Fang Xing, Ma Su, as a disciple, of course had to fight back.
Arching his hands, Ma Su said: "Master Yuan is an old householder. He must have a deep understanding of the shortcomings of the Ming army. Ma Su is not talented. May I ask Master Yuan, which is more important, the country or the family?"
Yuan Qijiang's face suddenly turned into a dye shop, colorful and extremely ugly. The chest rose and fell sharply, obviously wanting to vomit blood with anger.
It's just that he is indignant at the possibility of losing a source of income, but he wants to put on an appearance of defending the ancestral system, which can only be despised!
But most people would not slap their faces in public like this, at least they had to be more tactful.
This is another little 'magnanimity'!
But going on, if it doesn't work out, the censor will find out the root cause, and a piece of bullets will let him go to the prison to drink tea, so...
Yuan Qijiang snorted coldly, and walked away. Ma Su was not annoyed, and bowed his hands to Lan Binglie, and said in a low voice: "It's just selfishness, I know, there is no need to turn against him."
Lan Binglie smiled and said, "I'm in the Huitong Hall, and Yuan Qijiang won't be able to control me no matter what, so don't worry."
The ambassador of the Huitong Embassy is only a ninth-rank official, and there is a big gap with Yuan Qijiang's sixth-rank official. Lan Binglie can be considered to go all out.
Ma Su nodded and said, "If he dares to find fault, don't hold back and tell your mentor."
Lan Binglie said with a smile: "Why bother to ask for a mentor, Mr. Jin will take care of him."
Ma Su couldn't help laughing, "That's right, Mr. Jin, don't look foolish for a day, that's pretending to be foolish. If someone dares to touch the tiger's whiskers, it will be interesting."
Once Jin Zhong gets angry, the roar can be heard all over the Ministry of War.
Ma Su nodded, then walked towards the gate of the military department with his wooden box, while Sun Jun and Chen Jian were whispering.
"What does Master Yuan mean?"
"If military households are restructured,
He wants less benefits. "
"He is quite courageous! He dares to say this in public, isn't he afraid that Mr. Jin will get angry?"
"The law does not blame the public, and there are many people who benefit from it. As long as you don't strike too hard, no one can move."
Jin Zhong just stood there watching with cold eyes.
...
"Teacher, the apprentice's study in the Ministry of War is over."
When Ma Su got home, he went to find Fang Xing first.
"What do you understand?"
Fang Xing hugged Ping An and was putting on the padded coat for him. Ping An probably felt that the padded padded coat was clumsy, so he resisted a little, and kept resisting.
There is a small iron stove in the study, the smoke pipe protrudes from the glass window after turning, and the room is warm.
Fang Xing struggled to put on the padded coat for Ping An, then hugged him and stood bouncing on his knees, his eyes smiling.
Ma Su made a grimace at Ping An and said, "Teacher, although Mr. Jin is watching coldly and correcting him from time to time, the top and bottom of the military department are out of control after all. The people below have different ideas and have not formed a joint force."
"When the hearts of the people are scattered, the efficiency of doing things will not be high, and even internal strife is common."
"The military department is in charge of the transfer, but the disciples feel that their standards are not enough, and they are a bit rigid in doing things. In fact, they just don't have the confidence to raise objections."
"Then did you mention it?"
Fang Xing sat with Ping An on his lap, just as the water on the iron stove boiled, he signaled Ma Su to make tea.
Ma Su put the tea leaves, flushed the water, and then said embarrassingly: "The disciple didn't raise any opinions, just because he felt that he was here to learn, and if he raised it rashly, he would be breaking the rules of the Ministry of War. "
Fang Xing stared at the mist of water on the teacup in a daze, and murmured: "I used to regard such observations and situations as official articles, which I hated but had to follow. Now it seems that I still can't change these unspoken rules. "
Ma Su lowered his eyes and said: "Yes, teacher, the old rules have a large number of supporters and protectors. If you touch them easily, they will definitely attack you in groups."
"Teacher, I feel that the administration of officials still needs to be clarified, and supervision must be strengthened, otherwise the current good situation is just a passing cloud, and it will disappear after a while."
"Um!"
Ping An has always been very quiet, Fang Xing put his arms around him, leaned his head against his bosom, and said: "Sometimes I think, it would be great if the officials of Daming could get better overnight, but This is just dream talk. Taizu Gao’s methods are not unscrupulous, Jin Yiwei is everywhere, and when corruption is found, they will peel off the grass, but in the end they still keep killing them, and the government has declined so far.”
"But the salary at that time was too low..."
Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di felt that officials should be clean and honest, but they refused to increase their salaries. This is a bit difficult for the strong.
"Okay, you rest at home for three days, and then report to the household department."
...
The household department is not having a good life either, Xia Yuanji is ordering someone to calculate the expenses after the military system reform, but he himself feels distressed looking at the current balance of the household department.
"My lord, the main expenses are when recruiting soldiers and retiring from the army. Another thing is to prepare food and grass, and these were provided by the military households themselves in the past."
Zhao Yuanzhen is now in charge of the issuance and management of banknotes, which is similar to the duties of the governor of the central bank.
Xia Yuanji put down the account book, and said: "The key is that it will become a rule from now on. My household department has to pay close attention to expanding financial resources every year. Huh... that Fang Dehua is really cunning! He does things in a circle!"
Zhao Yuanzhen has recently devoted himself to studying the situation of Baochao and the economy of Ming Dynasty, and he smiled wryly when he heard the words: "My lord, is Xing and Bo Mofei still using this matter to force us to collect business taxes?"
Xia Yuanji tilted his head and thought for a while, then sighed: "I don't know either! But the possibility is very high. After all, that guy knows that the progress of commercial taxation is slow. Sometimes I think, if he comes to sit in my office In this position, it may be better to be able to do it, no, it must be better to be able to do it better.”
Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "My lord, Xing He Bo is a famous general, he is also the head of the Zhixing Academy, and his business skills are also enviable, so he will not come to compete with you."
Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "That's right, he doesn't like to be detained in one place and has to work with paperwork every day, that's all, I have to think about it."
...
The fact that the DPRK and China were negotiating to cancel the military household registration was soon exposed, and the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei were very annoyed by this. It's just that Zhu Di didn't say anything, so it's hard to investigate.
Unsurprisingly, many memorials flew into the imperial city, and the contents were all the same.
"It is said that the ancestral system cannot be violated, and the military household system is the legacy of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor. It cannot be changed! Hahahaha! It must not be changed!"
Zhu Di put the memorial on the ground, got up and laughed loudly: "My great Ming has come a long way, if my father sees the present Daming, he should praise me a few words. But some people like to talk about the ancestral system. You are trapping me in injustice!"
Yang Rong hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, those people may be a little pedantic, but they dare not take such a serious offense."
Zhu Di waved his hand, and after Yang Rong and the others retreated, he sneered and said, "What ancestral system? What is good for you is the ancestral system, and what is not good for you is not the ancestral system. It looks disgusting!"
