With such a cut, Bi Ziyan couldn't be the master alone, and Sun Chengzong also nodded, which formed a cabinet resolution and 'deducted' the money and grain for North Annan.
At this time, King Ping wrote to ask for money and food, whether it was really not enough or not, the book came up.
Sun Chuanting had just entered the cabinet for a few days, and many things had not been sorted out, and at this time, looking at the expressions of the two cabinet elders, he said thoughtfully: "Could it be that there are any twists and turns here?"
” Bi Ziyan looked up at Sun Chuanting, pondered for a while, and said: "Liaodong immigrants are saturated, and it is difficult to accommodate too much in a short period of time......
These Sun Chuanting naturally knew that he had been in Liaodong for many years, and one of his main tasks was to reclaim wasteland and accept the victims.
But what does this have to do with Bi Ziyan's 'deduction' of money and food for the victims of the disaster in North Annan?
Don't you have to support it strongly?
Bi Ziyan saw Sun Chuanting's doubts, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said: "In the middle of the year, the emperor used more than 100,000 troops to conquer Annan, which was something that had been prepared for a long time, and Annan was divided, but it didn't take much effort, so it successfully shocked the various vassal states in the southeast.
Jian, Liangguang, and the rest were given to Bei Annan, which is supposed to be enough until the middle of next year, plus the imperial court also transferred 500,000 stone rice grains and 200,000 stone sweet potatoes from Yunnan Dacang......"
Sun Chuanting understood, and said thoughtfully: "My lord is worried that King Ping will divert these money and grain for other purposes?"
Have you ever sent someone to check?
Didn't King Ping have a detailed report on the use of degrees?
” Bi Ziyan glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "Yes, it's very complete, there is no flaw, the gap is very big, the people sent are already on the way, and it is expected to arrive on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month." ” Sun Chuanting looked at Bi Ziyan and then at Sun Chengzong, knowing what they meant.
The more King Ping did not leak, the more uneasy it made them, the emperor of Bei'an and Nan Tiangao was far away, there was enough money and food, and there were clouds.
The military power of the south and the north of Annan, when necessary, can even mobilize Dolgon and others with the king's command arrows, and there are 160,000 troops, how much strength is this?
Sun Chengzong seemed to see what Sun Chuanting was thinking, shook his head and said, "We are not worried about King Ping, this person is not a heroic figure, but we are worried that he will be confused, controlled, and involuntarily, if a feudal town is formed in the south, the consequences will be unimaginable." ” Sun Chuanting understood, but disagreed, and said: "Two adults, King Ping has a great responsibility in Bei'annan, just like Xiaguan was in Liaodong a few years ago, and he must not be hindered.
In addition, the emperor is afraid that he already knows. ” Bi Ziyan's face was calm, and he said: "Although my Daming's finances are facing the danger of decreasing, on the whole, they are far beyond the apocalypse, and they have been directly following the Jiajing period, plus the ten major warehouses established by the emperor over the years, if it is not for the use of large sums of money, even if the disaster is another three or five years, a little saving can survive."
Although the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War have been strivatively reduced, there will be no significant reduction in a year or two, so the only thing that can be saved is North Annan. ” Sun Chuanting said: "But Shaanxi, West, Gan.
The disaster situation in the six provinces of Su is like fire, and the victims must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise the civil unrest will break out again, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent to calm down, and the emperor's immigration policy should not be interrupted, even if it is restricted. ” "I know that," Bi Ziyan explained to Sun Chuanting very patiently, and said: "The ten warehouses can't be moved lightly, that's our foundation, life-saving food, but the taxes of the imperial court are decreasing, and we must go through the buffer period of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. ” Sun Chuanting can understand Bi Ziyan's difficulties, although the Ming Dynasty has no threat from Liaodong, but it is difficult to return internally, and it takes enough patience and enough stable taxes to reverse the situation, both of which are indispensable.
Although the Ming Dynasty's taxes have been strictly rectified by the emperor, salt tax, tea tax, mining tax and commercial tax have been taken to the imperial court, but the disaster situation is changing drastically, after experiencing the peak, the imperial court's taxes, money and grain are declining sharply, next year may be less than 16 million, tax exemption, disaster relief, everywhere use, are a huge astronomical amount, the imperial court simply can't afford it, and it needs to be throttled!
If it were other places, Sun Chuanting would not object, but if he withheld the money and grain from North Annan, he, the former prime minister of Liaodong, was uncomfortable.
Sun Chuanting's eyes moved slightly, looked straight at Bi Ziyan, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the officials think this matter is inappropriate, no matter what the specific situation of Bei Annan is, it is not appropriate to reduce it when it is not investigated, and I am afraid that the emperor will have other ideas." ” Sun Chuanting has not been in the cabinet for a long time, but he also vaguely feels that there is a rift between the emperor and the cabinet, and the trust between each other is very fragile.
Bi Ziyan naturally knew this, looked at him and said: "This matter is the official's own plan, you don't need to worry, wait for the emperor to wake up later, let's go together." ” Bi Ziyan obviously had made up his mind, Sun Chuanting didn't persuade much, and said: "Okay, by the way, Zhang Bingwen is in the mountain.
Dong wrote several letters to the lower officials in a row, accusing some local yamen of deceiving their superiors and subordinates, maliciously defrauding the imperial court of disaster relief money and grain.
The Eastern Governor Yamen was suspected of not reporting it. ” "This is not only in Shandong, but also in the whole country," This time it was Sun Chengzong who spoke, and said: "I have long noticed that the governor's yamen needs more money and food from the imperial court to do things, and he will turn a blind eye to the disaster reported below, which is already their tacit understanding." ” Sun Chuanting looked surprised, looking at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, his expression was not moving, but his heart was moved.
The water in this cabinet was much deeper than he expected, and how many things did he not know?
Zhu Xu slept until it was dark, then he woke up refreshed, freshened up, ordered something to eat, sat on the desk, and picked up the notebook.
Zhu Xu was holding tea and snacks, Cao Huachun waited for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, King Jing asked to see you while you were asleep." ” Zhu Xu flipped through the notebook in his hand, and said without raising his head: "What's the matter?"
” "I didn't say it."
Cao Huachun said.
"Tell him to come to me."
Zhu Xu reviewed the manuscript and said.
"Yes."
Cao Huachun responded, and was just about to turn around, when an internal supervisor outside the door walked in and said, "Emperor Qiqi, Elder Bige, Elder Sun Pavilion ask to see." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Please, if there is nothing important in the future, the elder only needs to knock on the door when he enters here, and there is no need to report it." ” Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting listened, and they were comforted in their hearts.
Although the emperor was 'willful', he respected them in the end and did not reprimand them harshly.
