Chapter 556 The North-South Balance
Qin Dewei is also very helpless, it's just good things, what else can an emperor who likes to engage in political struggles do?
It can only use the routine of political struggle to seduce the emperor's immersion.

Otherwise, if the emperor doesn't like to listen or can't listen to it, no matter how reasonable it is, it will be in vain.

However, there is a rule in the Ming Dynasty. Those who are ministers generally do not openly and directly criticize the emperors of the past dynasties, let alone the former emperors of this dynasty. This is the courtesy of monarchs and ministers.

As an emperor, Emperor Jiajing, of course, also maintained this kind of etiquette, and Emperor Jiajing was an emperor who was particularly sensitive to etiquette.

Therefore, even Emperor Jiajing could not publicly criticize the first two emperors, Ming Xiaozong and Ming Wuzong, nor would he allow ministers to criticize Xiaozong and Wuzong.

As a time traveler, it is impossible for Qin Dewei to please Jinshang by directly criticizing Xiaozong and Wuzong, but it is enough to present the facts and reason.

Seeing that the emperor was interested, he said a few more words in detail: "During the time of the Temple of Filial Piety and the Temple of Martial Arts, middle-ranking officials and honorable relatives ran amok. In addition to occupying the fields, they also made a large number of petitions for salt!
This led to the excessive use of salt in the two dynasties, and it was difficult to support salt. As a result, the salt law was severely damaged, which was one of the reasons why the opening of the Chinese law was difficult to maintain.

And since His Majesty's imperial visit, he has worked hard to govern, strictly restrained middle officials and relatives, and swept away the old customs!
That's why I dare to say that there is a basis for restoring the Chinese law. "

All the civil servants could find no faults after hearing it, what Qin Dewei said were all clear facts.

The Zhang family, the relatives of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and the Eight Tigers, the eunuchs of Zhengde, are typical bad representatives who can be listed in history books. No matter how bad things are today, at least they have not condoned such people.

Emperor Jiajing recognized the truth for the first time today, and secretly thought about it.

As a person, he was once forced by ministers to recognize Xiaozong as his father, so his attitude towards Xiaozong was very sensitive and twisted.

After successfully refusing to accept Xiaozong as his father, Emperor Jiajing had a persistent pursuit of the orthodoxy of his own lineage, always eager to prove something.

But there must be opponents, Cai Angcai again remonstrated: "Opening the Chinese law has long-standing disadvantages, and it is difficult to implement, and it has been abolished for 40 years!
Now Zheshi method has no accumulated disadvantages, if you want to go against the trend and restore the old method, it will be a waste of people and money, it is really not worth it! "

Immediately, some people agreed, and now the salt law system can get by, so there is no need to go back and make a fuss.

Qin Dewei sighed, and said casually: "Your Majesty has been here for more than ten years, seeking treatment all night long, but so far has not achieved great success.

Originally, I didn't quite understand what the problem was, but when I saw Cai Xueshi and others today, I suddenly understood.

With such short-sighted people flooding the court, how could the world be brought into order? "

Emperor Jiajing, who was very particular about etiquette, felt that Qin Dewei was outrageous at this time, and shouted: "There are no rules! If you can't make sense, hit forty court sticks!"

Qin Dewei quickly restrained his posture, and said cautiously, "It's not that my subordinates are presumptuous, but I just feel that Xueshi Cai and others are in vain as lecturers, but they don't understand the true meaning of opening up China and France. I feel that I am deeply disappointed because of the lack of talents in Ming Dynasty!"

Taking advantage of the emperor's absence, Qin Dewei hastened to speak: "When Emperor Taizu was Emperor Gao, there was a North-South case.

Because all the scholars selected by the examiners were from the south, and none from the north made it to the list, Emperor Gao killed all the examiners.

Then Emperor Gao set the ratio of the north-south rankings to ensure that all the candidates for the imperial examination would not be concentrated in the southeast.

With the great talent and general plan of Emperor Taizu Gao, he naturally understood the principle of balance between the north and the south.Why did people like Cai Xueshi deliberately pretend not to know that the ancestors have taught them before? "

Most of the people were scholars, so they didn't turn around for a moment, wondering why Qin Dewei suddenly brought up this old matter.

I heard Qin Dewei continue to say: "Half of the world's salt production is Huai salt. In short, the development of China and France is to transport grain to the northern border towns, and then branch salt in the southeast.

Is such a trouble spanning thousands of miles just for the border town to have enough supplies?
Its fundamental meaning is to use the wealth of the southeast salt industry to subsidize the northern border towns!
The ancestors had to pay attention to the balance between the north and the south even in the imperial examination ceremony. Isn't it necessary for economic wealth? "

This angle is quite novel, and everyone in the hall fell into deep thought for a while.

Qin Dewei stared at Cai Ang, and said aggressively: "Senior Cai, do you still want to ask, what does the poverty in the northern border town have to do with the southeast?"

Cai Xueshi wanted to refute, but he didn't think so!

But Qin Dewei just asked and answered himself, and did not give Cai Xueshi a chance to speak:

"Preventing the Tartars in the north is a matter for the whole country of Ming Dynasty, not a matter for a few border towns in the north!
Could it be that the towns in the north are fighting the Tartars every year, and the southeast half only needs to enjoy peace?
Therefore, the ancestors had a long-term vision and took the trouble to use the Chinese method to transfer material resources from the southeast to support the northern border towns.

After changing to the color folding method, it is actually cutting off the southeast from the border town!It is the imperial court and the southeast salt merchants uniting to squeeze the northern salt merchants!
If the color-folding method is continued, the salt merchants in Huaihe River and Huaihe River will be merchants from the southeast who are closer to the salt fields in the future, and all their wealth will stay in the southeast!
The poor will become poorer, the richer will become richer, and the northern border towns are also the people of Ming Dynasty. If the people's livelihood is declining, what will they use to fight against the Tartars?

So, has Your Majesty ever realized the deep meaning of Emperor Taizu Gao? "

Everyone: "."

You, Qin Dewei, can move out of Emperor Taizu Gao, and you are also a talent.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is giving the emperor a righteous name.

Cai Ang finally found a chance to retort: ​​"The color folding method charges silver taels, and the same can be transferred to the border town!"

Qin Dewei asked back: "Can silver be eaten? Can silver be worn? What is lacking in Bianzhen is supplies, so what's the use of only giving silver?
Didn't you hear that when it was the most expensive, the price of grain in the northwest border town soared to five taels a stone, ten times that of the mainland!How much money can be paid to fill the stomach of the frontier army? "

Qin Dewei didn't bother to continue to refute Cai Xueshi, and said to Emperor Jiajing: "Cai Ang's empty talk is harmful to the country, please be aware of it.

The minister now has a guess that Cai Ang came from Huai'an Mansion, and there must be someone who trafficked Huai salt among his relatives, friends or servants.If it is true, please expel people like Cai Ang who are selfish and wrong for the country. "

Then Qin Dewei kindly added: "If the guess is wrong, I am willing to fine you half a year!"

Emperor Jiajing still didn't express his position, he was thinking about something.

Qin Dewei also secretly sighed, the Emperor Jiajing at this time can still be saved, although his character is not good, but he proves that he still has his own thoughts.

It's just that no one can see the general trend of history clearly, and Emperor Jiajing has always been at a loss for what to do.

If time travels to 21 years after Jiajing, then only gods can save him.

Because you can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, the emperor after 21 years of Jiajing is a person who pretends to be asleep.

Emperor Jiajing's personality has extreme factors. When his emotions are up, he will be on the top, and when his emotions are down, he will be very sad, and then he will become the emperor of cultivating immortals.

After much deliberation, Qin Dewei planned to add some more serious medicine, so he said seriously:

"Your Majesty, do you remember the changes in the number of days mentioned by the minister? If there is a time of coldness in a hundred years, the border town will be worse. How will we maintain it?"

In the name of "ancestral righteousness", let's fool around with "the number of days", if you don't believe the emperor, you will not follow!
　I found that writing political affairs is really too boring. I really don’t know how those fellow writers who write a lot of political affairs persisted.Ask for the last monthly pass!
