Zhu Xu looked at this brand-new conference room, and he could already see the pictures of officials making proposals, debating, fierce quarrels, voting, and so on here in the future.
Thinking about it, he was a little excited, Zhu Xu turned his head, looked at the people behind him, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
” The group of people behind Zhu Xu were either high-level officials in the imperial court or feudal officials, and listening to Zhu Xu's words, they were all a little confused.
It was really difficult for them to understand such an arrangement, although they already had a premonition that the emperor was brewing something.
A group of people were silent.
Bi Ziyan glanced at the others, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have discussed with the ministers many times, and there have been many differences, and the emperor still needs to decide. ” Zhu Xu glanced at Bi Ziyan, and then swept over the faces of Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Fang Kongzhi, Li Banghua and others, the expressions of these people were solemn at first, and then bowed their heads slightly.
Zhu Xu smiled, turned to Sun Chengzong and said, "Elder Sun Ge, how are the preparations for the big martial arts, has the day been set?"
” Sun Chengzong's expression moved slightly, reacted for a while, and said: "Back to the emperor, everything has been moved to Jingdong Daying, which is set for five days later, on the twenty-fifth." ” Zhu Xu patted the chair with his left hand, thought a little in his heart, and said: "Then twenty-five, in these few days, the cabinet will discuss and discuss with the adults again, and report to me for major differences." ” "Yes."
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong responded, and their expressions were a little strange.
The majesty in front of them is really different today, and he is too talkative, which makes them feel uneasy.
Judging from past experience, every time there is a major event, the emperor will be unusually calm, like a beast quietly waiting for its prey, and now the emperor is too calm, which makes them nervous, after all, it is now all kinds of big things coming!
Zhu Xu looked at the conference room again and said with a smile: "Well, you can."
Let's disperse today, my uncle will come with me, by the way, Zhou Aiqing will also come. ” "Yes."
Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu responded, followed behind Zhu Xu, and walked outside.
Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others looked at each other, today's events, no matter how you look at them, are a little weird.
Fang Kongzhi, Li Banghua and others frowned, and the pressure in their hearts was extremely great.
The so-called 'differences' come from them.
In their view, there are many problems with the reform strategy drawn up by the Cabinet, and they are arguing with reason.
But judging from the emperor's indifferent attitude, most of them are still on the side of the cabinet, and all the pressure will be on them.
Bi Ziyan pondered in his heart, glanced at Sun Chengzong, looked at Li Banghua and the others, and said, "You don't need to worry, let's discuss it again, there are still some days to discuss it, we will try our best to bridge the differences, be inclusive, and then ask the emperor to make a holy decision." ” Li Banghua and the others nodded slightly, bowed down and signaled, "The lower official obeys the order." ” Zhu Xu took Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu back to the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace, sat down on the soft collapse, looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Sit down, tell me, do you have another feeling in the place." ” The two of them sat down, Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, local affairs are indeed very complicated, some of the minister's previous ideas, and some of the government's government affairs may need to be adjusted according to the times. ” Zhu Xu reclined and said, "Say." ” Fu Changzong looked cautious, leaned over and said, "The ministers are in the cabinet, and they have briefly discussed with the governors of various places, and found that the number of acres of land submitted by various places is less than 60,000 mu, and according to the estimates of the ministers when they were in Beijing, there are at least 80,000 mu, which does not include Liaodong and some wasteland that escaped famine, floods, etc. ” Zhu Xu looked as usual, and said, "How many acres do you think I have in the Ming Dynasty?"
It's okay, talk about what you think from the bottom of your heart. ” Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu, was silent for a moment, and said, "The minister thinks that it is more than 120,000 mu. ” Zhu Xu bowed his head slightly, his heart turned slightly, looked at him and said: "I didn't just say it now, nor once or twice, do you think there is a good way?"
” Fu Changzong paused and said: "Back to the emperor, the ministers have discussed with the cabinet, the governors, etc., locally, especially in the counties and towns, the influence of the imperial court is quite weak, and if you want to measure the acres of land in depth, even if the cabinet puts down everything to do, it will not be effective in three or five years."
Once the 'New Deal' is perfected, the imperial court's control over the localities will be greatly strengthened, and it will be logical to get twice the result with half the effort by measuring the acres ......of land and re-registering the household register."
Zhu Xu sat up, looked at Fu Changzong and said: "It's equivalent to half gone, promoting the 'New Deal', well, this is a top priority." ” Fu Changzong heard Zhu Xu say this, looked up at him, and his eyes showed a strange color.
Today's emperor is a little strange.
Zhu Xu ignored him, looked at Zhou Yingqiu, and said with a smile: "Zhou Aiqing, tell me about your experience." ” Zhou Yingqiu was different from Fu Changzong, sitting straight, with a restrained face, and said calmly: "Back to the emperor, the ministers have also explored a lot in Liaodong, and they are deeply touched.
One of them is that the people are tired.
No matter where they migrated from, the people were extremely tired, not high-spirited, and excited.
The savings of the people are almost none, and if it were not for the relief of the imperial court, most of them would have been difficult to survive, and the situation of the people is afraid that it will far exceed what the imperial court thinks......"
"The people are tired ......"
Zhu Xu looked at Zhou Yingqiu, nodded and said, "This word is good and ironic.
These adults in the court are passionate, and this music book is eager for twenty copies a day, but the situation in the world has not changed at all, but they have added their reputation one by one and won the world's reputation!
” Zhou Yingqiu didn't talk, and the situation in the imperial court was not a day or two.
Zhu Xu thought for a moment, and then said, "What do you think you want the people to revive?"
” Zhou Yingqiu obviously came prepared, and said: "The minister believes that the 'New Deal' is one method, and the other is to start from the two directions of 'money and food' and hope. ” "Go on."
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and said.
Zhou Yingqiu leaned over again and said, "The minister believes that money and grain are the foundation of the people's survival, and they cannot be lost."
Only with hope can the people feel excited, have strength, have morale, be loyal to my Ming, and work hard to move forward for 'no cold people in the world'......"
Zhu Xu took a cup of tea from Cao Huachun's hand and said, "You're right.
It boils down to two aspects, one is material and the other is spiritual.
Materially, it's good to say, it's nothing more than money and food, another spirit, I have been letting the four or five halls repair books, this 'no cold man in the world' is the goal of me, the imperial court, civil and military officials, and all the people in the world, for this goal, we must do our best, little by little progress to let the world see, so that we can have the motivation to support, continue to move forward, specific ways and methods, I will let the four or five halls ponder, when the time comes, I will study well for the governors at the big discussion......"
Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu are both the same, and they both secretly feel the incisiveness of Zhu Xu's summary, and they can't help but secretly admire.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put it down again, and said, "I know what you are talking about, tell me why the adults outside Beijing have differences with the cabinet?"
” Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu looked at each other, Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Back to the emperor, the governors think that the cabinet's 'New Deal' plan is too eager to promote and will backfire.
Just after a year, many things have not been perfected, and now it needs to be carefully crafted, taoguang and obscure, and slowly drawn.

The cabinet members believed that the natural disasters were unbearable, and the treasury expenditure was huge, and it was necessary to accelerate the implementation of the 'new policy'.
Governor Li of the West, Fu.
Governor Xu and others all mean this, and Bi Ge Lao's attitude is more tough......"
Zhu Xu leaned on the table, his fingers flexed, and he tapped slowly, looking thoughtful.
What these local feudal officials said is right, the 'New Deal' has just passed a year, and many things are still very rough, and we need to spend time refining and deepening.
Whether they are confined to a province or talk about it from experience, it is correct and defensible.
Zhu Xu can understand the idea of the cabinet better, now everyone has realized the difficulties faced by the Ming Dynasty, the urgency of the cabinet can be said to be a last resort, such a big disaster will destroy the country, how can they not be in a hurry!
For the cabinet's plan, Zhu Xu is completely in control, Bi Ziyan and others and the six ministries have formulated a 'four-year strategy', which lists in detail the goals that need to be completed each year, including sorting out the tax burden, acres, household registration, etc., these are very difficult things, not to mention so many in one breath, even if one of them, the Ming Dynasty works together, and there is no ten or eight years to succeed!
Although the cabinet was too eager, Zhu Xu was not in a hurry, or worried, the cabinet plan was one thing, and he had to decide the specific speed and risk gains and losses.
Listening to the words of Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong, Zhu Xu had a deeper understanding of the outside of the capital.
This Ming Dynasty has indeed entered its twilight years in history, natural disasters and people's grievances, the people's hearts are tired, the national strength is deteriorating, and the local people don't even have the ability to 'protect themselves'.
Especially Shaanxi.
In the west and other places, dozens of rebellious people can capture the county seat, and one county is owed wages all year round.
Even if the imperial army came and exterminated the chaotic people, as soon as the official army left, the chaotic people rose again, and the local government was still powerless to stop it, and the result was that the officials and troops came and went, and the chaotic people went back and forth, endlessly, exhausting the only little vitality left in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xu thought about it in his heart, and looked at the two of them quietly and said, "Well, do you have any other thoughts or opinions?"
” Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu, not knowing if he had been away for a month, or if the emperor in front of him had really changed somewhat, he thought about it in his heart, and said cautiously: "The ministers are not there for the time being, many things are still being discussed by the cabinet, and the ministers hope that the cabinet will summarize and submit them to the emperor." ” Zhou Yingqiu leaned over, obviously the same meaning.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and took out an account book from under the table, handed it to Fu Changzong, and said, "This is the account book handed to me by the Royal Money Bank, you can take a look." ” Fu Changzong took it with a puzzled face, and when he opened the first page, his face changed slightly, and when he turned it slowly, his face gradually became solemn.
He handed it to Zhou Yingqiu without finishing it.
Zhou Yingqiu had a bad guess in his heart, so he took it, and after turning over a few photos, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were angry.
This is the account book of the royal bank, the loan account book, and the borrowers are all officials at all levels of the imperial court, from the capital to the localities, large and small officials, with the yamen or other materials as guarantees, have borrowed more than 10 million taels of silver!
Naturally, the royal money bank does not have the ability to really seize the things of the government, which has become a bad debt, and now it is in front of the palace!
