The severe drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi should have exempted the people from tax to support the people, and in giving great relief to reassure the people, so that the two-pronged approach could quickly resume production, but now Yuan Chonghuan is reaching out for silver in Guan Chaotang every day, just a thistle Liao Guanning, and the annual military expenditure has grown from Sun Chuanting's annual 2 million to 5 million, which has not only greatly squeezed out the military salaries and domestic finances of other border armies, but also become a big bottomless pit.
For Yuan Chonghuan's request, both the household department Donglin and the internal Chongzhen were given absolute tolerance.
Donglin is tolerant because Yuan Chonghuan was recommended by Donglin, at that time, Qian Longxi and Donglin party leaders discussed, in order to grasp the military power of civilian officials, they launched Yuan Chonghuan, who had "fought before", to replace Sun Chuanting, the teacher of the previous Dynasty, and then after Yuan Da's mouth flickered for a while, I hope that Yuan Chonghuan can make achievements, so as to block Lu Hanqiang and other criticism that Donglin will only talk about misleading the country.
Chongzhen's bottomless support for Yuan Chonghuan was because he was anxious to seek treatment in his heart, and under Yuan Chonghuan's big mouth, he got the promise of five years of recovering Liao that he wanted, so he didn't give Yuan Chonghuan a chance to be "discouraged".
Therefore, both sides have unlimited support for Yuan Chonghuan's request.
However, the hole of five million silver a year is far greater than the revenue of the fiscal department in a year, therefore, although there is a great drought in Shanxi, it is necessary to pay taxes to feed Jiliao, not only to increase taxes, but also to clear the original arrears, the south is easy to say, commerce is developed, there are many handicraft workshops, the peasants either do business, or work for the factory, it can be coped, and the north is completely finished.
Now it is a top priority to urge the arrears, and everyone is waiting for the silver to buy rice and put it in the pot.
It is impossible to reduce taxes.
Originally, in Shaanxi Province, which was assessed by Zhang Juzheng in the harvest year as the income per mu could reach four or five coins of silver, the total amount of taxes per mu set by the Son of Heaven and the Donglin Party for the local peasants in the first year of Chongzhen was as high as two taels of silver.
Since it is impossible to reduce or exempt, then we must give relief to reassure the people, but as mentioned above, it is not enough to supply Yuan Chonghuan with all the silver in the country, so what kind of silver relief is there, and even this face project cannot be done.
Chongzhen asked Lu Hanqiang to go to Shanxi for relief, but he was also forced to do so, because both the governor of Shaanxi and the local officials were writing letters to ask for relief, so he still had to do it, so he had the simple task he said to Lu Hanqiang.
And it was this money, Chongzhen didn't want to take all of it out of his own pockets, and the household department couldn't count on it at all, so he encouraged Lu Hanqiang to use the newspaper to make trouble.
"There is still a great drought in Shanxi, and those displaced people still need relief, so I decided that we monarchs and ministers will go to the national disaster together, and I will give 100,000 silver from the inner treasury, and all of you Aiqing are enthusiastically donating some, and then make up 500,000 or 600,000 silver, so that it will be handed over to Lu Hanqiang and Lu Aiqing to escort the relief of the victims in Shanxi."
As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, there was an immediate uproar at the bottom.
Why do you give relief to Shanshan and Shaanxi to be a good person, but the silver wants us to give this is not right, the original world famine, that is all your internal money out of the silver relief, why this time but we want to pay for it, this is not in harmony with the courtesy, we resolutely want to oppose this chaotic government.
Then a minister will stride out and oppose it.
At this time, he was a step slower, because a minister had already been the first to come out of the crowd and exclaimed: "Long live is really a moral gentleman, a model for the ages."
The minister also noticed that the victims of the Shanxi disaster have appeared on the streets of Beijing, and if they do not give relief, there will be a menacing trend, which must be relieved, and the minister seconded the long live move, and also hoped that Lord Lu could do a good job of the emperor's dispatch, share the worries for the emperor, and save the people of Shanxi and the water and fire. ” The minister who was the first to stand up against it was in a big rage, who are you, how can you tell the truth like this, do you want to take us all into the ditch When I looked closely, it was Wen Tiren, the big man of Donglin, who was talking about righteousness and awe-inspiring eloquence.
At that time, this move baffled the minister who had just come out for impeachment.
According to the general principle of Donglin's opposition for the sake of opposition, according to the two rules, everything proposed by other groups of people, including the emperor, we must oppose it, and everything we put forward by ourselves, we must support.
But today, the emperor proposed the evil policy of ministers donating money for disaster relief, and you Wen Tiren want to support it, so whether you want us to oppose it or support it, isn't it very confusing?
In a trance, I felt that the corner of my clothes was gently pulled, and I quietly turned my head to look, but it was the second assistant Qian Long.
This makes this even more confused, because although Qian Longxi and Wen Tiren are the same party, they are not in harmony, the reason has been for a long time, when the party Chongzhen pushed the cabinet ministers in the first year, the lottery system adopted was adopted, and the first one to draw out was Qian Longxi, and then Qian Qianyi, and then Qian Qianyi even signed out a leopard in the third place, Wen Tiren grabbed the impossible leopard and made a big fuss, turned up Qian Qianyi's old account, and finally kicked Qian Qianyi out of the position of the first shop, as a result, everyone did not get benefits, and finally compromised with each other, let Huang Yi pick up a big bargain, and this Qian Xilong also followed the meal and became a second shop, the resentment in his heart can be imagined, but how can he help Wen Tiren speak today Qian Xilong smiled at Wen Tiren Nunu, and then stopped silent.
The big guy hurriedly took the reminder and gathered his mind to listen carefully to Wen Tiren's play.
"The magistrate may exaggerate for the sake of arrears, or conceal and fail to report his achievements, but the emperor is wise, the candle shines for thousands of miles, he has insight into the heart of the traitor, and he has a great compassion, and he sent 100,000 yuan to send Lu Hanqiang and Lord Lu to help Shanxi, and Lu Hanqiang and Lord Lu are capable and decisive, and have the courage to do things, long live the discernment, I think that Lu Hanqiang will definitely be able to do the disaster relief work flawlessly, for the emperor to spread kindness in Shanxi, relieve the disaster victims in fire and water, and the minister seconded the decision of long live."
Ah, now I understand it, the feeling is that the emperor wants to send Lu Hanqiang to Shanxi for disaster relief, and he is just taking a mere 100,000 silver, that is to say, Lord Wen Tiren is knocking his heels to death, this is Wen Tiren kicking Lu Hanqiang's ass hard, so that Lu Hanqiang can fight the fire pit, no, that's not a fire pit, that's a volcano, this time Lu Hanqiang is dead.
For this appointment and dismissal, Lu Hanqiang and Wang Shilang and others did not come out to object, yesterday when Lu Hanqiang and Wang Shilang discussed, it has been explained that this is an irreversible decision, and it is useless to oppose it, and there is, Shanxi disaster relief, Lu Hanqiang is also happy to see, and this work can only be done by himself, in order to reap some results, of course, Lu Hanqiang also knows that the front is the crater, and those Donglin will definitely kick themselves in the back, but the biggest danger also exists in the biggest opportunity, After a night of thinking about it last night, he now has the confidence to do things as perfectly as he can.
Chongzhen was very surprised in his heart, according to the original card theory, the things he proposed were all to be opposed, especially the ones he proposed were to take part of it, and the ministers wanted to donate a part, which directly involved the interests of the courtiers So, Chongzhen gently tapped the dragon case and kindly reminded Wen Tiren: "Aiqing, what do you think about my proposal to invite all the ministers to go to the national disaster and donate money for disaster relief?"
