Chapter 455 Interviewer! Zhou Xunru Is Determined!
Latest website:
The next day, there will be a court meeting.
Zhu Di quietly listened to the reports of the ministers and gained an overall understanding of the major affairs of the government.
Although His Majesty, the Emperor, knows most of what happens in the capital.
But there is a delay in delivering the news, so it is naturally necessary to listen to the reports from the officials now.
Generally speaking, the court's current new policies are being implemented well.
Xie Jin, the Minister of Academic Affairs, Wang Ji, the Minister of Academic Affairs, Wang Jing, the Minister of Rites, Zou Ji, Zeng Qi, the Minister of Rites, etc. are still running around to promote the new learning, and even use the Jin Yiwei to arrest people!
Under the suppression of absolute force, the new learning finally began to be implemented smoothly, and the response from various places was pretty good.
The affairs of sending the kings abroad are also proceeding step by step.
Now Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is fighting fiercely in Nanyang. The Chief Secretary of Dongkun has been set up in the East China Sea to directly manage Jilong Mountain in Penghu. The three Ryukyu Islands have also sent three vassal kings to garrison. The Japanese Kingdom is about to be defeated by Ning Wang Zhu Quan. …
The key is that now that the court has money, it can implement various new policies and no longer have to be as stretched as before.
For national affairs, money and food are the two words, which are the basis of the court's governance.
After learning about the major new policies, Zhu Di was the first to speak.
"The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel will prepare the rewards for this great victory in the Northern Expedition. Rewards for the meritorious soldiers are indispensable."
Hearing this, Xue Lu and others looked ecstatic.
Done!
The emperor agreed to reward me!
One Duke, Five Marquises and Three Uncles!
There will soon be a group of honorable ministers in the court!
When the civil servant Jin Shen heard the news, his face looked a little unhappy.
However, today's emperor is a horse-riding emperor. Like Taizu Gao Emperor Xiang, he is a little more military than literary.
The military power is getting stronger and stronger, which is not good news for the Wenchen Group!
After all, when a warrior is in charge of the country and upholds the government's policies, it will only lead to the collapse of rituals and music, and the current situation will be turbulent.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the country was ruled by warriors and in chaos!
Warlords fight in melee, warriors disrupt the government, kings kill ministers, ministers kill kings, killings come and go, you sing and I come on stage, changing emperors like a revolving lantern.
To put it bluntly, these warriors have no respect for etiquette and law. As long as they have an army in their hands, they dare to commit rebellion and arrogantly declare themselves emperors!
The lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are so vivid in our minds that it is impossible for a group of civil servants and gentry not to worry.
Once rules and order are broken, it will be difficult to re-establish them!
Zhu Di had a panoramic view of Baiguan's performance, and then dropped another bombshell news.
"I heard that the people in Jiangnan, a land of heavy taxation, are miserable, but the imperial court cannot collect taxes. The official land tax arrears are serious, and the Su and Song Dynasties have the name of heavy taxation, but they have no actual practice!"
"Today, Zhou Chen, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, is the interview envoy, patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, and supervising the taxation and grain matters. The Ministry of Revenue and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will fully cooperate with each other to make sure there is no mistake!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar!
All the civil and military officials looked at Zhou Chen. Some were envious and some were jealous, but most of their eyes were filled with pity.
Yes, mercy.
The content of His Majesty’s order is really interesting!
Zhou Chen was only the head of the household department of the district, but he became an interview envoy, patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, and the governor of taxation and grain matters!
Although this situation has happened once before, His Majesty the Emperor sent twenty-six court officials including Shangshu Jian Yi to "tour the country to appease the army and the people."
However, the purpose of this patrol was to appease the army and the people, and the courtiers sent were all high-ranking civilian officials and important officials in the court.
But this time Zhou Chen is just the head of the Household Department, and his rank is only the sixth grade. How can he be compared with important officials like Jian Yi?
As for the so-called "interview envoy", it is only occasionally seen in historical records and has no established official rank. In other words, it is just a job!
A low-ranking clerk with a pen and a pen was assigned a temporary assignment without real power. What was he doing in Jiangnan?
Call for tax arrears from Jiangnan powerful men?
Does he, Zhou Chen, dare?
It’s really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Not to mention that a young boy like Zhou Chen didn't dare, but if it were him, he wouldn't necessarily dare!
The powerful gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were all well-known wealthy families. They had intricate local connections and had close contacts with many courtiers and officials in the court.
If he, Zhou Chen, really dares to attack these Jiangnan wealthy families rashly, it will be tantamount to destroying his own future and he will definitely die!
However, Zhou Chen didn't seem to know it. He knelt down in line to express his gratitude and accepted the job directly.
Despite that malicious look, Zhou Chen resolutely accepted the hard job.
He was also a little scared and uneasy, and also a little unhappy.
However, he still took it bravely.
After all, he believed in Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han.
At the same time, Zhou Chen was unwilling to give up and spent his whole life on wool.
As His Highness the King of Han said, selling wool can only increase income for the court, but it has no benefit at all to Zhou Chen himself.
If the Beijing police came, how would the Ministry of Personnel evaluate him, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Is it possible to write a sentence that sells wool well?
After selling wool all his life, Zhou Chen is still the head of the household department!
Without the "Shepherd Plan", Zhou Chen would have lost his great contribution to destroying the country!
So, he should get out of the wool in time.
Going to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect official fields and collect taxes is destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles.
However, once the matter is completed and His Majesty the Emperor is satisfied, it will be a great achievement and a bright future is just around the corner!
Moreover, the King of Han also forcibly equipped himself with royal guards, and he personally took charge of the capital to relieve himself of worries!
In this way, if you still can't achieve anything, you can't blame others, just find a piece of tofu and kill yourself!
When Zhu Gaoxu saw Zhou Chen accepting the order, his heart immediately returned to his stomach.
This was his suggestion yesterday. He announced in public that Zhou Chen had been ordered to go to Jiangnan to inspect the official fields. UU Reading www. uukｎｓｈ． net Let those Jiangnan powerful men be prepared and take it lightly.
After all, Zhou Chen is not very old, does not have a high official position, and does not have a high rank.
Those Jiangnan powerful men all have high self-esteem. Naturally, they would not take a mere head of the household department seriously. This gave Zhou Chen a chance to break the situation!
As long as Zhou Chen does well in Jiangnan, it will be a great achievement and it will be clearly written on his resume.
When Zhu Di, a thief, saw his financial and taxation skills, he would truly recognize Zhou Chen and let him succeed Xia Yuanji in the future and take charge of the Ming Dynasty's treasury!
An inventory of official land in Jiangnan is the first step in land reform and the first step in declaring war on the gentry!
As long as this step is taken steadily, Zhu Gaoxu will immediately take the second and third steps until he completely knocks these gentry off their horses!
After all, this was the Yongle Dynasty, and the court system that valued military affairs over literature ensured that these civil servants and gentry could not make any trouble!
No matter how unwilling they are, they can only endure it honestly!
Zhu Di was also observing everyone's expressions and thinking about whether his actions would have any impact.
The official fields in Jiangnan must be investigated.
The "vicious cycle" mentioned by the second child must be completely broken!
Emperor, this is the master of Ming Dynasty, not the gentry!
If we continue to allow these gentry to do evil, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will fall into such a terrible vicious cycle!
The inventory of official fields in Jiangnan also sends a signal to the entire world.
I hope Zhou Chen can make great achievements and shock the gentry all over the world!
But why did the second child do all this?
This rebellious son chose to stay in the capital. Could it be that he was really stimulated by Zhang Fu's death and started to fight for the throne again?
That’s really dumbfounding!
