Chapter 1754 Wang Shouren¡¯s Thoughts

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At Beijing Railway Station, Wang Shouren walked out of the VIP aisle.

    Looking at the capital in front of me, I feel that it is very strange. It has only been two years since I have been to the capital, and I feel that the capital has changed a lot.

    There are rickshaw masters waiting for customers on both sides of the road, as well as an endless stream of bicycles, luxurious four-wheel carriages, and occasionally Mercedes-Benz cars whizzing by.

    Pedestrians were rushing around and seemed very busy. The square outside was still bustling with people, and all kinds of shouts came one after another.

    "Lord Wang!"

    At this time, there was a call for business, and Wang Shouren quickly looked over and saw that the other party was dressed as a third-grade official, with several fourth- and fifth-grade officials, who seemed to be coming to greet him.

    "Master Liang!"

    Wang Shouren looked at the leader and quickly returned the gift.

    The person who came here is called Liang Chu. He is an official at the level of Minister of Household Affairs. He is in charge of commercial taxation and is responsible for overseeing the taxation offices all over the world.

    In this regard, the Ministry of Household Affairs is different from the other Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of War.

    Because Liu Jin established a tax yamen, levied commercial taxes, and separated commercial taxes for collection, and established a tax yamen, there were actually three more ministers under the Minister of Household Affairs. In the past, there were only left ministers and right ministers.  Now, together with those in charge of the tax yamen, there are three ministers.

    The Minister of Household Affairs, who is in charge of the tax yamen all over the world and is responsible for collecting commercial taxes, is now generally called the Grand Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, because he is in charge of the tax yamen and collects commercial taxes. He has very great power and involves a huge amount of money.

    And this position was established by Liu Jin, the current chief minister of the cabinet. Liu Jin also did this when he was in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    Now commercial tax is the main source of tax revenue for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty collects more than one billion taels of silver tax in a year, which is basically commercial tax. There is only agricultural tax. Now the proportion is very small. Some of the millet and cloth collected  They are no longer valuable now.

    In addition, if there is a promotion in the Ministry of Hubu, the promotion starts from the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu. For example, Liu Jin was directly promoted from the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then entered the cabinet from the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

    There is also Hanwen, who was originally in charge of the commercial and tax yamen. Later he was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and now he has become the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, taking over the position of Zhong Zhong.

    However, when it came to Liang Chu, it was logical that Liang Chu should be promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs to take over Han Wen's position. However, the emperor and the cabinet directly transferred Wang Shouren, who was the chief envoy in Southern Zhili, back to the capital, and directly  It was arranged at the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

    This also made Liang Chu very depressed. He was obviously older and more senior, and he was also the Minister of Household Affairs. It was logical that he should go up by himself, but he didn't want to be taken over by Wang Shouren.

    Of course, from a level perspective, this is no problem at all.

    Liang Chu, the chief minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is a third-rank official, and Wang Shouren, the chief envoy of the Southern Zhili Province, is an official of the second rank. If he is now the minister of the household department, he will be promoted to a second-rank official. If he becomes the minister of the household department himself,  , that is to upgrade two levels, unless you are promoted to the second level first, go up in level first, and then become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

    No matter how you put it, things have become settled now, and there is no use thinking about it anymore.

    In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Wang Shouren was able to rise to prominence was not only because of his own talent, but more importantly because of his good relationship with Liu Jin, the chief minister of the cabinet. In addition, the emperor also valued and appreciated Wang Shouren, so he was able to  Like Liu Jin, he was promoted like a rocket.

    In just fourteen years, he went from a junior Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy to the current Minister of Household Affairs, and it is very likely that Wang Shouren will be the next one to join the cabinet.

    24378  Wang Hua was born as a scholar and had been an official for a long time, but he was still a third-rank official. Wang Shouren was now a second-rank minister of household affairs.

    This is a topic that everyone often talks about now. Wang Shouren is better than his predecessor. He is a higher official than his father, and he is promoted faster.

    "My lord, you have had a hard time traveling!"

    This time z.com Zhang Si.  Liang Chu looked at Wang Shouren in front of him. He was as young as Liu Jin. He was only in his forties and not yet fifty. Liu Jin was already the chief minister of the cabinet before he was forty.

    Wang Shouren was already a member of the household department before he was fifty years old.?The people of Ming Dynasty were richer than ever before, and the exchanges and contacts between Ming Dynasty people and the outside world were unprecedentedly intensive and frequent.

    There are also thousands of tribes within the Ming Dynasty, as well as large and small vassal states and colonies outside the Ming Dynasty.

    There are too many things that need to be thought about carefully, and these are things and phenomena that have never happened before.

    Facing this complicated new situation and new contradictions, the older generation of civil servants always seem at a loss and cannot find a good solution.

    Just like in the past, everyone clearly knew that the national treasury was empty. They should raise commercial taxes, re-measure the land across the country, and restrict landowners and gentry from annexing land. However, every time they failed, the commercial taxes could not be raised, and the court kept trying.  poverty.

    We all know that the border defenses are empty and difficult, the armaments are depleted, and the military household system is rotten. However, we just can't think of a good way to solve this problem. As a result, the Tatars withhold customs every year and the Japanese pirates are raging along the southeast coast.

    Everyone knows that the Southwest Chieftains are capricious and can never be completely suppressed or destroyed. They often rebel against the Ming Dynasty and seek benefits, but everyone has never been able to think of a good way to solve this problem.

    After the army suppressed the rebellion of the chieftains, they continued to make these chieftains local emperors. Over time, they became erratic. No one thought of returning to their native land and appointing exiled officials to solve this problem.

    ?? These traditional civil servants either know that there is a problem and know what to do, but they do not do it because of interest issues, and they also strongly oppose the court to do it.

    ?????????????????????????????? Or these civil servants, they always only have a little bit of Confucianism in their heads, such as benevolence, righteousness, morality, and governing the country with filial piety, which is empty and empty, and they cannot keep up with the development trend of the times.

    ¡°I simply don¡¯t understand what is most important in interactions between countries, and I can always think of a thousand ways to deal with the common people, but I can¡¯t think of any good way to deal with foreign enemies.

    They are immersed in the ideal of kings and scholar-bureaucrats co-ruling the world advocated by Confucianism, but they often do not understand the true meaning of family, country and world.

    Therefore, Liu Jin¡¯s performance was so dazzling in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi. A series of things Liu Jin did gradually brought the Ming Empire from a situation of internal and external troubles to its current prosperous situation of sweeping the world, invincible, rich and prosperous.

    So Liu Jin¡¯s promotion was very fast.  At this time bao*l aixsw.co*m Zhang Si

    Basically, one or two years in a position will lead to promotion, sometimes even several levels directly. In just fourteen years, Liu Jin has become the chief minister of the cabinet.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#98&#97&#111&#108&#97&#105&#120&#115&#119&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#29306

    ??????????? It also reflects that sentence, in the morning I am a farmer, and in the evening I ascend to the emperor¡¯s hall.  Zhida z.com Zhixiao

    As the Mercedes-Benz drove through the streets of Beijing, Wang Shouren had a lot of thoughts.

    As a person who pursues the study of things to gain knowledge, as a great thinker, philosopher, and a master of mind science, Wang Shouren is a great man who is extremely good at thinking.
