During the morning court, the faces of all the ministers were very ugly. Otherwise, everyone had been forced to donate money and food. Especially those in front who were pitiful and pityful, who kept saying that the disaster was extremely urgent, were all named by Emperor Hongzhi one by one. , each one of them bled violently.
This time, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty donated more than 500,000 taels of silver and more than 30,000 dans of grain. In addition, Emperor Hongzhi decided to use 500,000 taels of silver from the internal funds to purchase grain for relief. Disaster victims, this is more than one million taels of silver alone.
"Humph~"
Zhou Jing was as if his parents were dead at this time, with a dark face. When he saw the British Duke Zhang Mao, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, blaming all this on Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao touched his nose, feeling helpless and helpless. Now he has become a public enemy of the entire dynasty. Even Duke Cheng Zhu Fu and Duke Ding Xu Yongning, who have always had a good relationship with him, don't look good at this time. .
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These nobles are actually all of the same nature, they can only go in but not out.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, these generals and nobles did not have any say. The literati had the final say in the court, so they cared more about their own industry. There were often shameless nobles, relatives of the emperor and the like. Ask for rewards from above.
The most shameless people in the Hongzhi Dynasty were naturally the two brothers Zhang Yanling, the Bo of Jianchang, and Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning. They either asked for salt, land, or rewards from the Hongzhi Emperor. This was a typical Gelangtai style where they could only enter but not leave. people.
There is no political appeal, and it is impossible to have any appeal, so I attach great importance to the little things in my hands. Today's morning meeting, these are the first money and food, each one is as uncomfortable as cutting meat. , Naturally, Zhang Mao wouldn¡¯t look good on him.
Just when Zhang Mao was about to leave, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly came over and called out to Zhang Mao, conveying the emperor Hongzhi's will and asking him to go to discuss matters with the three ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers and other important officials in the court.
"There are no good days now."
Zhang Mao was complaining in his heart. In the past, military commanders and nobles had never been involved in such discussions. Now he was called over. Wasn¡¯t he roasting himself on the fire? But it was impossible not to go. Soon, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Ma Wensheng, Zhang Mao and others came to the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Hongzhi.
In the past, after the morning dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi would leave his ministers to discuss national affairs. Everyone is used to it and is not unfamiliar at all.
But this time, Zhang Mao, a high-ranking military commander, was added to the list. Everyone felt very uncomfortable and felt that something was wrong. Especially Zhou Jing did not have a good look at Zhang Mao and stayed far away from Zhang Mao. The look of great bitterness and deep hatred.
As for Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others, they were thinking deeply. Emperor Hongzhi would not call Zhang Mao to discuss matters for no reason. If it was just this time, it would not matter.
However, such a routine has gradually formed, which means that the status of military commanders and nobles has begun to rise sharply. The power in the hands of civilian officials is threatened. If the military commanders and nobles who were suppressed with great difficulty at the beginning rise again, This is not in the interests of civil servants.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Emperor Hongzhi came over and motioned to everyone not to be polite, sit down and speak slowly.
"Zhou Jing, today we raised 1.5 million taels of silver, plus 30,000 dans of grain, should it be enough for this disaster relief, right?"
As expected, the first thing Emperor Hongzhi talked about was disaster relief in the three northern provinces. This matter is indeed urgent now, and the victims are in urgent need of relief.
"Your Majesty has shown great kindness and the whole government has worked together to raise enough money and food. This disaster relief will definitely be enough."
Zhou Jing immediately stood up and replied, although it was very painful when he donated money and food, he felt that he, the housekeeper of the Ming Dynasty, had suddenly become richer. He had never been able to hold 1.5 million in his hands like today. Two pieces of silver.
This is a very huge amount of money.
You must know that in the past, even if there was a famine, the imperial court's allocation of two to three hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief was already overwhelming. How could one million taels of silver be used for disaster relief like now?
He has already made a plan in his mind. He will use almost 500,000 taels of silver to buy food and provide relief to the victims. The remaining 500,000 taels of silver can be used to replenish the national treasury, which is regarded as non-operating income.
¡°That¡¯s good, then I¡¯ll leave the matter of purchasing grain to your Ministry of Household Affairs. We must raise enough grain as soon as possible and send it to various regions, and provide food relief as soon as possible so thatThe people have overcome the difficulties. "
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction and was in a good mood.
Although he felt a little sad about the five hundred thousand taels of silver that he had donated, all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty had donated it. Naturally, he, the emperor, had to express his gratitude. In addition, with the dividends from Xishan Coal Industry, Xiao Xiao from Zhu Houzhao Glass Factory Respect, his pockets are also bulging.
If it were in the past, he would never be able to generously take out half a million silver in one go. Being able to take out more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver would be incredible. After all, this silver is really hard-earned. The emperor was also poor.
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi thought of Liu Jin and this young man. Now that Emperor Hongzhi's pockets were bulging, his waist was naturally stiffer, and he felt confident to do something. All of this was because of that young man.
In my heart, I am also thinking about when I must find an opportunity to give a good reward.
Since the matter of money and food has been resolved, there are not many things that need to be discussed next. It is nothing more than how to use the money and food for disaster relief, prevent corruption and deprivation from below, etc.
During the discussion, Emperor Hongzhi also named Zhang Mao again and asked him to express his opinions. At the same time, he also praised Zhang Mao a lot.
Soon, the discussion was over, and everyone went back to do their own business according to Emperor Hongzhi's instructions.
"Father, are you convinced by what I said?"
Zhu Houzhao, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately found Emperor Hongzhi and said proudly as soon as the ministers left.
"That's right, it's exactly what you said."
When the father and son were together, Emperor Hongzhi also put away the smile on his face, said very solemnly, and then told Zhu Houzhao everything that happened in the morning.
¡°Tsk, tsk, I didn¡¯t expect this old man from England to be so smart.¡±
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words, Zhu Houzhao¡¯s impression of Zhang Mao suddenly changed. In the past, Zhang Mao felt like an old man with no sense of existence. Unexpectedly, this time it would play a big role. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
