I'm really not doing business

Chapter 71 It's easy to change the color and get benefits
Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a drizzle, and the spring rain was as expensive as oil. This spring rain came in a timely manner, which saved the people from watering and irrigating once, saving energy and disputes over water.

Inspecting the frontiers and watching Dingjian re-extended the supervision responsibility into the core of the Jin Party, the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong.

The court meeting has already started, the little emperor is listening to the government and studying on the platform, while the courtiers are noisy below.

Siamese King Huazhao Song sent barbarian envoys to pay tribute to Fangwu (native products). The barbarian envoys said that the original seal and letter was reconciled, but it was burned down because the city of Dongniu Kingdom broke through.

The envoy from North Korea came to thank you, and the Ministry of Rites invited a feast.

A censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate asked Wang Shouren to offer sacrifices to the Confucian Temple, but Wang Xijue refuted it. It wasn’t that Wang Shouren’s knowledge was bad. To be precise, many scholar-bureaucrats had lost the major premise of the unity of knowledge and action in conscience, and the unity of knowledge and action. Only conscience remains.

In this way, Wang Shouren's mentality seems to be that as long as he has a conscience, everything can be successful, and if Wang Shouren is worshiped, he may be harmed by the morals of the world.

After a short debate, Wang Xijue won a great victory in the debate. Knowing is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge. Cognition and practice are complementary. The unity of knowledge and action can lead to conscience. Isn't this the heresy of Zoroastrianism and Nestorianism?
If they want to bring Wang Shouren to the Confucian Temple, Confucian scholars can't just talk about conscience, they must talk about the unity of knowledge and action, and talk about practice, instead of high-spirited talk and high-mindedness.

The courtiers suddenly started to make noise, Zhu Yijun raised his head, and looked at Wang Guoguang, Minister of the Household Department, who caused the court debate.

Wang Guoguang said quite solemnly: "Soldiers' food and salaries are easy to lose if they are paid, but they can get benefits if they are given. In the matter of calculating the redundant expenses of the nine towns, it was found that the food and salaries were not paid to the sergeants. In the hands of the soldiers, instead of giving them in kind, the sergeants can get some benefits."

"In the entire Nine Sides, except for the three towns of Jizhou, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan, half of the salary can be paid, and the other six towns, the sergeants can't get half of their salary."

Wang Guoguang is cutting off people and money.

Distributing real objects may also be embezzled by people, but these real objects need to be sold when they are discounted, which requires manpower and material resources to sell. The more people involved, the greater the possibility of things being exposed.

Once military items flow out of the market in a certain place, the supervisory censors in various places can still monitor one or two, and the error correction mechanism of Ming Dynasty can still play some role, but there is no need to even hand out the money, and the money flows from the court to the government. In the process of soldiers, they will be stripped layer by layer, and in the hands of the sergeants, there will be a few cents of silver left.

"Silver is expensive and the valley is cheap, and the silver is cheap and the valley is expensive, this kind of complete conflict phenomenon has repeatedly appeared in the hinterland of Daming and the border." Wang Guoguang said quite accurately: "Most of the border is soldiers, and there are very few farmers. When there is less grain, more grain is consumed, and when there is more silver, the grain becomes more and more expensive, making silver cheap and grain expensive.”

"In the hinterland, because of the implementation of the one whip method, there are more farmers, more grain and less silver, and the grain is getting cheaper and cheaper. In the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, silver is expensive and grain is cheap."

"The border defense is restless, and the people are restless."

"It's still too troublesome to say so. I drew a picture myself, and everyone will know it at a glance."

According to the assumption, the imperial court collected silver taels from the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, and then the imperial court distributed the silver taels to the border in the form of military pay. Merchants transported grain from the hinterland to the border, traded for silver, and brought the silver back to the hinterland.

In terms of system design, this is a complete inner loop.

But in the implementation, there are many problems.

The imperial court collected money from the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, which produced another terrible institutional corruption - fire loss.

What the imperial court wants is golden flower silver, which has less impurities, and most of the folks who can get it are variegated silver, which has more impurities.People pay taxes with variegated silver, so they have to pay an extra part of the fire consumption tax. Two dollars or more. (1% to 2%).

However, when the imperial court distributed military salaries to Bianfang, the golden flower silver was sent from the imperial court to Bianfang, and it became mottled silver, which was nothing more than mottled silver. Not to mention full pay for sergeants, even half pay would be as difficult as climbing the sky.

Qi Jiguang commanded the land of the three towns, and the only thing he could guarantee was that the Zhejiang soldiers who followed him to the north would receive full pay. As for the sergeants in the original guards, Qi Jiguang could let them receive half pay, because Qi Jiguang's knife was sharp.

The merchants transported grain from the hinterland to the frontier, and the loss was huge, but the price difference could not make up for the loss along the road, so the merchants were too lazy to transport grain.

Merchants will not bring silver back to the hinterland, but buy goods from the nearby side, transport them back to the hinterland, and earn the difference.

This led to more and more silver in the frontier, soaring grain prices, making silver cheap and grain expensive;
In the hinterland, because of the high concentration of wealth, silver is concentrated in the hands of a few people. If the people want to pay taxes, they have to exchange grain for silver, which makes silver expensive and grain cheap.

The internal loop design of Nayin Kaizhongfa seems to be logically self-consistent and successful, but in the process of implementation, it failed extremely.

Daming originally had a set of effective solutions to solve the problem of food and grass in the frontier by using the internal circulation, that is, the method of accepting salt to open up the middle, that is, salt introduction.

Merchants had to bring salt from the frontier and bring it back to the Jiangnan area of ​​the Ming Dynasty in order to obtain salt and make a profit.

To obtain salt, merchants had to transport grain to the frontier, or in the border business village, where merchants hired hard labor to farm in the border area, and put it into warehouses on the spot in exchange for salt.

On the other hand, in the border area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, soldiers were paid in kind, such as rice, grain, salt, oil jackets, etc., and they would also be embezzled, but the difficulty was much more troublesome than embezzling money.

This method of accepting salt and opening Chinese medicine was completely destroyed. During the Hongzhi period of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Qi was the Minister of the Ministry of Households. When it came to Yanyin, the Shangtun Yanyin method was completely destroyed in an instant.

There is a lot of money in Taicang, but the side is restless.

The salt method has been completely corrupted, and now, Wang Guoguang just wants the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to have enough to eat, not enough to eat, so he started a round of historical reversal, and the military pay is not paid in kind, but in kind.

This is not advocated by Wang Guoguang. There is a sentence in Hai Rui's "Public Security": Restore the true nature of salt to enrich the border, turn back the history, and the border should restore the method of farming and salt, and save more grain to make money. border.

"I remind everyone that the soldiers are going to mutiny Xiaoying if they don't have enough to eat." After listening to Wang Guoguang's statement, Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth to stand for Wang Guoguang.

Once it is no longer converted into silver, but changed to the previous physical food and payment, it will cause the frontier to have to farm, and the imperial court does not have so much food, so it has to rely on local border towns to farm.

"It's more appropriate to discuss this matter at a later stage. If this silver is moved from the Hongzhi period to today, if it is lightly moved, it will be uneasy with the country." Wang Chonggu frowned.

Once Wang Guoguang's court proposal is passed, it means that the imperial court's supervisory power in the frontier will be extended from inspecting the construction of the Great Wall to supervising food and payment, which is an extension of the supervisory power.

Once the imperial court has the right to supervise the food and pay of the frontier, the generals from all over the country will not be willing to join the evil with the Ming Gongs of the Jin Party, and they will be reprimanded. It would be strange if Wang Chonggu could agree.

Tan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, immediately said: "Then should I ask Qi Shuai? Qi Shuai controls the three towns of Jizhou, Yongping, and Shanhai, which is one more town than Xuanfu and Datong. Let's see if Qi Shuai is the same. agree to this?"

"They are all frontier generals. If Qian'an Bo is willing, why should the two towns of Xuanda oppose it?"

"Qi Shuai is under Yuan Fu's sect, Yuan Fu agreed, how can Qi Shuai refuse!" Wang Chonggu said very dissatisfied, the people who supervised were members of the Zhang Party!Of course Qi Jiguang would agree, and it didn't affect Qi Jiguang's continued drinking of soldiers' blood at all!

Wang Chonggu firmly believes that Qi Jiguang is the same person as them, and everyone is drinking blood!

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Governor Wang said carefully, Qi Shuai returned the badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall to me outside the Xuanwu Gate. This matter has been spread throughout the capital, and everyone knows it. I, Zhang Juzheng, are unpopular, and even Qi Shuai is unwilling to continue to associate with me, and I am like a dog."

"Governor Wang, Qi Shuai is now Qian'an Bo and Wu Xun. As a civil servant, I don't want to get too involved with a Wu Xun."

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Chonggu with a smile on his face. He dared to cut off with the general. Qi Jiguang dared to return the badge to Zhang Juzheng. , dare not give filial piety?Do Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei dare to cut off with the side generals?
Zhang Juzheng was swearing, his civil servants were no longer involved with military generals, Wang Chonggu was also a civil servant, he was deeply involved with military generals, Zhang Juzheng scolded Wang Chonggu, he couldn't speak at all.

"Recently, various items of money and food have been discussed and changed to save convenience. But the original intention of the ancestors' legislation was not to be inconvenient to the people. Now it is only appropriate to correct the disadvantages and make up for it. Let's settle this matter." Yang Bo He suddenly opened his mouth to express his position on Wang Guoguang's proposal. He agreed to the local government's move to convert silver into real objects, that is, to agree to the imperial court's supervisory power, and to extend it further to the local area.

Yang Bo's statement seemed extremely sudden. Wang Guoguang was a little surprised, Wang Chonggu frowned, and Ge Shouli's pimple on his forehead unfurled.

This is the benefit that Zhang Juzheng obtained yesterday, he will not excessively pursue the ten generals, and Yang Bo agrees to the extension of the Ming court's supervisory power.

If Yang Bo didn't agree, he had to agree. Ma Gui, Ma Jin and others were held by Zhang Juzheng. If they refused to let go, Zhang Juzheng pursued them, and the Jin Party would definitely suffer even more losses.

Yang Bo knew Zhang Juzheng's character too well, when he was still willing to discuss, he had better agree, in this way, hello, hello, hello everyone.

If he refuses to agree, Zhang Juzheng will definitely do it.

"That's it?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Chonggu and asked Wang Chonggu's opinion.

Wang Chonggu thought over and over again, and finally said rather unwillingly: "That's how it is."

Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, bowed his head to the little emperor on the platform and said: "Your Majesty, I have an instruction."

He is just a ten-year-old, sunny and cheerful kid.
