Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly while looking at it.
"Compared with the previous ministers, Liu Jin is still more comfortable with his work, and he is more planned and forward-looking in his work.
If Liu Jian were the chief minister of the cabinet, then he would basically not even think about building any infrastructure. He would just build embankments to prevent the Yellow River from flooding.
There is no way to say that from the perspective and level of the long-term development of the entire country, we can make full use of the current favorable situation in Ming Dynasty to plan the development of the entire country.
Their ideas and concepts still remain in the previous concepts and worries of the emperor ruling from the top down, governing by inaction, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and governing the country with filial piety. They are just empty talk. As for specifically how to govern a country, they are It is difficult to come up with a good method and method.
Just like before, they knew that the national treasury was empty, but they still couldn't come up with a good way to solve the problem, because in their ideological concept, besides taxing more, they meant reducing expenditure, and taxing was in their impression Among them, the people often have a hard time making a living. As for cutting expenditures, that is the emperor's cutting expenditures, and it has nothing to do with ministers like them.
Therefore, if there is a problem, they cannot solve it, or they simply cannot think of ways to solve the problem from a higher level and a longer-term perspective.
"What they can do is ancestral system, ancestral system, or just like the eight-part essay, looking for the way to govern the country in the Four Books and Five Classics.
Liu Jin is different. He can always think of good ways to solve immediate problems, and he can also think and solve problems from the perspective of long-term development and the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty. At this time suyi ngwang.net Zhang Si
Liu Jin would never advise Emperor Hongzhi to be diligent and thrifty. He even thought that Emperor Hongzhi should pay attention to rest, so he had to postpone the morning court, only work five days a week, and take more holidays on holidays. 强牺 suyingwang.net 读牺
Not only the emperor, but also the entire Ming Dynasty should be like this. Everyone should pay attention to rest and combine work with rest. That's why the Ming Dynasty's sleep and sleep code was created.
At the same time, Liu Jin also knew that the emperor had many things to do, so during the review of the memorials, the cabinet rejected all the memorials that flattered and said hello, and demoted such officials to remote areas to serve as officials, saying hello and flattering every day. , you are not tired, the emperor is tired.
There are also those who show off their talents. What can be done in a hundred words, they have to write thousands of words. It is long and smelly, like a lazy woman's foot wrap. It is just a waste of cabinet ministers and emperors.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Ru Taisu, an official in charge of the Ministry of Justice, wrote a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to read the memorial. It took three hours and less than half of it. The key is that he has not gotten to the main topic yet. You should be said to have good literary talent. Well, let¡¯s talk about your Wencai account.
This type of officials must also be denounced. If they should be demoted, they should be demoted. If they should be scolded, they should be scolded. It is a waste of the time of cabinet ministers and the emperor. This is not a waste of the precious wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, after Liu Jin entered the cabinet, the number of memorials in the imperial court dropped sharply at a terrifying speed. In the past, Emperor Hongzhi had to approve thousands of memorials a day, sometimes even thousands.
These memorials are basically rubbish. Officials flatter and greet each other, report each other and snitch, impeach officials, ask Emperor Hongzhi to be diligent and frugal, remind Emperor Hongzhi to accept concubines, and write poems for the emperor to appreciate. Among those who were promoted, there were also those who had to come to the emperor to check in even if they had nothing to do. For example, some officials who really had nothing to report would write that there was a woman under their jurisdiction who had lost money, or there was a centenarian, and so on.
This may be relatively better in the Ming Dynasty, because the literati of the Ming Dynasty sometimes pay attention to the word "character", and some flattering memorials cannot be written too much, otherwise they will be laughed at by other officials.
But it was different during the Qing Dynasty. Especially during the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, there were so many flattering memorials that Emperor Yongzheng had to read more than 7,000 memorials every day, and the number of words he reviewed exceeded the starting point. The most awesome reader.
??In our opinion, something as important as memorials must be designed to deal with national affairs, and the discussion should also be about major matters such as military, state and government affairs.
But in fact, memorials often turned into flattering, greeting, reporting each other and snitching, and became a way for officials to check in with the emperor.
There are many smart people who pay attention to writing memorials and other things every day to make their presence felt with the emperor. When there is an opportunity, they will naturally think of themselves, so that they can get promoted and make a fortune faster.uewenyuan.com 读牺This time yuewenyuan.com Zhang Si
¡°Obviously, this is what Liu Jin did and planned.
It has not been long since he became the chief minister of the cabinet, and now he has begun to plan the long-term development direction of the entire Ming Dynasty. After Liu Jin's hands, Emperor Hongzhi would not be able to see all kinds of trivial matters, nor would he. Ministers need to come every day to say hello and so on, Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
What Emperor Hongzhi needs is to think about the future of the Ming Dynasty and the long-term development and planning of the Ming Dynasty.
The same is true for this memorial and plan for major infrastructure construction. The infrastructure construction plan is formulated based on the national plan. At the same time, it adjusts the balanced development of various regions in the Ming Dynasty, consolidates the border areas of the Ming Dynasty, and makes plans and arrangements for the long-term development of the Ming Dynasty.
