Chapter 255 Zhu Yijun's Combined Fist

All the officials were dumbfounded, and those who had received Zhu Yijun's orders in one day were all dumbfounded.

After Zhu Yijun punched this series of combinations, the officials who hit him were stunned and unresponsive. They didn't know whether they should be happy that Daming had gained tens of millions of taels of silver or should be puzzled and angry that the emperor didn't play cards according to common sense. Surrounding the hearts of every minister, they said that the imperial decree came too fast like a tornado, and they couldn't react at all.

Yes, Ming won a great victory, killed 20 Japanese people, and beheaded tens of thousands of people. The Japanese chief Toyotomi Hideyoshi was beheaded. Not to mention that Japan has to pay 800 million taels of silver to Daming, and even hand over a mountain of silver with an annual output of one million taels to Daming for 50 years of mining, that is 5000 million taels of silver!That is pure fiscal revenue!

That is to say, Daming can get two years of tax revenue in the next year, and the situation of financial waste and money tightening will be greatly improved in Daming. Things that I wanted to do but couldn’t do before, and cities that I wanted to build but couldn’t, I want to build. The roads that cannot be repaired, the disasters that I want to relieve but have no money to relieve, the goods that I want to buy but cannot buy, all are in place, and everything can be easily solved. The fiscal revenue of nearly 500 million taels of silver a year is equivalent to a record high.

All this was brought by the general.

The civil servants were silent for a while, and the generals and military officers rejoiced. They were keenly aware that this general must get what he deserves, otherwise, the generals of Ming Dynasty will collectively feel chilled—our generals will give you Civil officials have solved things that you can't solve, why, are you still reasonable?Still want to bully us?

Regarding Xiao Ruxun's issue, first of all, the officials of the Ministry of Households can't talk nonsense, because the biggest problem that Xiao Ruxun solves is the problem of the Ministry of Households. With these millions of taels pouring in, the Minister of the Household Department dared not go home during the Chinese New Year. The embarrassing things will never happen again. As the saying goes, taking advantage of others’ shortcomings is the shortest. If you spend the money they have earned so hard, how dare you scold them?If this is done, it is estimated that even some civil servants will be impeached.

Next, the Ministry of Industry can’t say anything more. It is the Ministry of Industry that spends most of the money. There are many places in the country where water conservancy projects are in disrepair. There are so many places that need money. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is the one who has the least right to speak among Lu's six departments, so he can only swallow his anger. Now that he has money, the happiest person is the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry has taken so many benefits from Xiao Ruxun, what else do you want?
As for the second thing, it is the Ministry of War. War requires money, making ordnance requires money, repairing ordnance requires money, and providing comfort to soldiers requires money, and everything needs money. Most of these millions of taels of silver will enter the accounts of the Ministry of War. People in the Ministry of War They can't gossip anymore, and when it comes to Xiao Ruxun's issue, they have to keep silent, otherwise, it will really embarrass them.

Of course, the Ministry of War will not say anything, and it’s too late for them to be happy with the correct selection——Xiao Ruxun was selected by the Ministry of War as the chief general candidate. On Xiao Ruxun's issue, the Ministry of War definitely supports it.

Three of the six departments have benefited, so they can't make a fuss about Xiao Ruxun's issues, otherwise, if it spreads out, the reputation will be bad, not to mention the turbulent tide of generals. Xiao Ruxun has fought many iron-blooded warriors in this battle. Everyone wants to be rewarded one by one, seeing their prestige soaring, and the crowd is furious. At this moment, the civil servants have to stay away. If there is a civil servant suppressing military generals at this juncture, it is estimated that the military generals in the entire Ming Dynasty will make trouble.

The troubles between the emperor and the civil servants are already annoying enough. They managed to tame the generals so that the generals could not support the emperor. Now it is definitely not a wise choice to make the generals and the civil officials fall out because of Xiao Ruxun, so that the civil servants will be attacked by the generals and the emperor.

Therefore, they made preparations for Xiao Ruxun to be a marquis, and they planned to give in. Even if the emperor wanted Xiao Ruxun to be a marquis, they would agree that they should be rewarded and bestowed. Anyway, regarding Xiao Ruxun's reward, the Ministry of Households did not intend to refute what the emperor said. , The Ministry of Rites didn't intend to disturb shit, and the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War also sat obediently waiting for the emperor's will.

However, Xiao Ruxun's decree of conferring the title of Marquis did not come. They waited for the decree that the conferment of the three kings was held on the same day as the ceremony of the army's triumphant return. Daming congratulations.

The emperor's combo punch came very suddenly, and directly stunned the unprepared officials, but soon someone with a discerning eye saw that the emperor had bad intentions and came to gain popularity, and he wanted to use Xiao Ruxun to become a The civil servants collectively shunned the prestige of the object, and engaged in a wave of things with a wave of enthusiasm, which made the civil servants helpless, disgusted and forced to do it.

The sinister behavior and ulterior motives are unbelievable.

Such a scoundrel is actually the Emperor of Ming Dynasty——Your Majesty, as the Supreme Being, how can you do things according to your own will like ordinary people?Can the sages from ancient times do such a thing?How can you do this?How can you use such means to achieve your goals?

The civil servants were also puzzled.

The emperor forcibly involved the ceremony of the triumphant return of the army and the etiquette of conferring the three kings together. The general's attention and honor favor, publicize the country's prestige, and promote the military's prestige.

Is this statement wrong?

No.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to greet the triumphant general in person, and it is not uncommon for the prince to greet him on behalf of the prince. Press down the dispute, your intentions are too unpredictable, you are simply playing the civil servants like monkeys, and you are very unskilled, which is very disgusting.

You are the emperor, you must do things aboveboard, you can't play with your mind!

The civil servants felt wounded and humiliated.

But they can't directly deny this matter, because the financial problem they haven't been able to solve has been alleviated by a general with a war. At least in the next few years, Ming Dynasty will not be short of money, which will relieve the civil servants. No matter how much pressure they put on, they all wanted to express their gratitude to Xiao Ruxun and shy away from them, whether they were emotional, rational, public or private, but the way the emperor rubbed their hearts was so disgusting that they were unwilling to obey the imperial edict no matter what.

For a while, the ruling and opposition parties lost their voices, and the situation was very strange.
