"As long as the superiors reach a tacit understanding on this matter, even if the censors below shout out, it will be harmless.
Liu Jian has finally made the final decision.
He has enough reputation among the officials that everyone has reached a tacit understanding.
But at this time, Li Dongyang, who was sitting aside, still frowned and pursed his lips, showing a bit of worry.
Liu Jian looked around, his eyes fell on him, and he couldn't help but said: "Binzhi, do you have any different opinions?"
Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Liu, what I am worried about is not these thingsbut"
He said and sighed.
He concurrently served as the Minister of Household Affairs.
This responsibility is really important. The whole court is asking him for money, and everyone is like a ghost.
He paused and then said: "The amount of money and food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been roughly reported."
""
After a while, everyone fell silent and raised their ears.
Money and food are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and are a matter of the world.
This year¡¯s income is related to next year¡¯s expenditure. Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, is waiting for the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate money and food to pay back Liaodong¡¯s arrears. Several projects of the Ministry of Works also owe wages, especially now that workers are being recruited everywhere in the new city. The recruited craftsmen have no intention of completing the projects of the Ministry of Works, because the income between the two is really very different.
"It's a pity that this is a levy, so they can't help but go."
But the Ministry of Works barely gave them two meals. Even if it was two meals, they were often in arrears. Everyone was in trouble, so how could they do a good job?
There are also fabrications in various places, which are even more bleak.
The annual annual sacrifices and various sacrificial ceremonies required by the Ministry of Rites also cost a lot of money.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment are not much better.
Even the Hanlin Academy needs to repair books recently. This repair is actually very expensive.
When the Yongle Dadian was originally compiled, it was the cabinet bachelor who served as the chief editor and compiled it regardless of cost. The book was finally completed and became a grand event in the literary world of the country, but the cost was actually no less than an expedition.
Although the books we are currently cultivating are not as good as those of the Yongle Dadian, they still rely on the money and food from the Ministry of Revenue.
As for the river embankments everywhere, there are countless disasters that may occur next year. These are all inseparable from money and food.
Liu Jian became cautious about this.
A few days ago, he took a leave of absence for many days due to illness, but it was not like he was unaware of what was happening in the court.
He knew that Li Dongyang had not withdrawn any money from the internal funds, and the treasury had to bear all the expenses, and he couldn't help but feel worried about it.
He then asked Li Dongyang: "How much money and food is there in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Li Dongyang paused, and in front of everyone's attention, he said slowly: "Although Hangzhou Prefecture has not been affected by the disaster, the silver tax it can pay is only 43,000 taels, which is 20% less than last year. The grain taxes paid, For 130,000 loads, there are also clothraw silk"
Hangzhou is a big city. Why is the money and food supply decreasing instead of increasing?
"I heard it was because of the increase in the number of refugees." Li Dongyang said: "There is also the Chief Envoy of Jiangxi Province. Because of King Ning's rebellion, the court sympathized with them and suffered exploitation by King Ning. They exempted them from some taxes in the past few years, but now ¡¡±
He shook his head and sighed: "This year's money and food I'm afraid it's not very optimistic, plus the deficit in the past two years"
"What should we do?" Ma Wensheng couldn't help complaining: "Liaodong's military pay has been owed for two months. Will it continue to be owed next year? If this continues, the towns in Liaodong will have to mutiny. In the year of Zichenghua, the imperial court swept away the Jurchen tribes and made them cohesively docile. However, over the years, the Jurchen tribes have shown a tendency to recover and grow If this continues, what should we do?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked aggrieved and said: "Nowadays, the craftsmen are very perfunctory. In the final analysis, it is because in the Zaozuo Bureau, a craftsman's money and food are basically a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to support his family. But in other places, The craftsmen have no worries about food and clothing. Compared with the two, who is willing to work with peace of mind? Even if it is whipped with a whip, it will not help. Now they still owe them money and food. They have no rice to cook, and they will starve to death. Li Sirthis is no joke."
Li Dongyang¡¯s head sounded heavy and he couldn¡¯t help stroking his forehead.
Seeing that everyone was still noisy, he said in a dumbfounded voice: "I don't know about your difficultiesit's just"
"How about" Wang Ao's eyes darkened and he said, "I still have to ask His Majesty to make the decision, no matter what.It has been found that not many people start to accept new knowledge from a young age. This is because more people hope to gain fame through elementary education. Once they are enlightened, they will have the opportunity to participate in county examinations, government examinations and college examinations. Only those who are really hopeless in the imperial examination Under the circumstances, everyone began to try to develop into new disciplines.
Nowadays, preparations for the construction of a new elementary school have begun. In the future, the talents needed by Xishan will be continuously supplied.
Studying itself requires taking advantage of the situation. Among these four words, the word "profit" occupies a huge part. If there are no benefits or insufficient benefits, you have to make people stay poor and maintain their inner feelings. Except for Fang Jifan I truly care about my country and my country, and have the world in my heart. Even if I suffer from brain disease, I still sell my house to save the country unremittingly, for ten years, no matter what the weather. There are a few such people in the world.
Therefore, Fang Jifan never forces his disciples and grandchildren to have feelings. As a person, you should have high standards for yourself and low standards for consideration for others.
This is a quality that a gentleman must abide by.
Yes, Fang Jifan is such a person.
