As soon as Zhu Xu entered the cabinet hall, the news spread throughout the cabinet, and some people waited in some places and bowed down.
Zhu Xu ignored it and walked directly to the third floor.
At this time, in the side hall of the cabinet, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting, and Fu Changzong were discussing things.
Bi Ziyan said: "Dali Temple, don't talk about it for the time being, Wang Qiaonian, King Jing will find an opportunity for them to report alone."
Now let's talk about the family registration and what progress has been made. ” Sun Chuanting didn't speak, and looked at Fu Changzong.
The household department is Fu Changzong's territory, and it is not just as simple as his contact.
Fu Changzong is very familiar with these things, he has been in the household department for many years, Zhang Bingwen is also his deputy for many years, and he opened his mouth and said: "At present, it is registered in several northern provinces, including Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces, and the population is 14 million, nearly 3 million more than the statistics of the first year of Jingzheng, which is still preliminary, and then from north to south, other provinces will also start one after another, and the newly designed ID card household department is stepping up the replacement, concealment and other behaviors ......"
The disaster situation in the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years is quite serious, especially in the north, the population is impossible to grow, and the increase in this count is obviously the previous hidden households.
Bi Ziyan frowned, he didn't expect that there would be such a big difference.
Sun Chuanting continued: "Jiangsu is playing, they have found out the situation, and there are a lot more than expected, most of these people are used to do illegal things, more is tax evasion, according to the estimation of the ministers, the population of my Ming Dynasty may be as high as 20 million, and the tax burden escaped every year is more than 5 million taels......
Bi Ziyan listened, his expression was calm, and said: "The emperor told me about this in the third year of Chongzhen, and we didn't think so at the time, but now it seems that we are still slow to do some things." ” Fu Changzong knew Zhu Xu's policy the best, and then said: "Synchronized with the household registration, there is also the measurement of acres of land, the land of Shaanxi and Sichuan is quite smooth, and the resistance is not very big, but the south has encountered a lot ......of trouble, and the lower officials plan to find an opportunity in the middle of the year to take a trip in person."
Re-registering the household registration and measuring the acres of land is already a direct impact on the deep-rooted and solidified landlord class of the Ming Dynasty, and they want to resist the influence below the county level and the weak control of the imperial court, there are too many methods, especially the procrastination technique, which is simply perfect.
Bi Ziyan was just about to speak, Zheng Youyuan hurriedly came in and said, "My lord, the emperor invites you to go there." ” Bi Ziyan's face moved, and he said, "Who else did the emperor call?"
” Zheng Youyuan said, "There is also Sun Ge Lao, but Sun Ge Lao went to the Weapons Bureau outside the city early in the morning and was not in the city." ” Bi Ziyan nodded, he knew something, and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." ” "Yes."
Zheng Youyuan said.
Bi Ziyan looked at Zheng Youyuan's back, turned to Fu Changzong, and Sun Chuanting said: "You guys will sum it up again, make a statistic, and hold an enlarged meeting of the cabinet and the six ministries in the evening, make a final decision on these matters, and solve the problems at one time." ” Sun Chuanting and Fu Changzong nodded in unison and didn't say much.
Bi Ziyan got up and turned back to his class room, and then went up to the third floor.
Cao Huachun greeted him at the door, and Bi Ziyan had always despised the eunuchs, but nodded indifferently and imperceptibly.
In the class room, Zhu Xu was looking at Cao Bianjiao's notebook.
Cao Bianjiao had no superfluous words, no suggestions, and no attitude, everything was a declarative sentence, and everything that happened in the Wa Kingdom was written in the notebook.
The situation of the Wa Kingdom gradually appeared very clearly in Zhu Xu's mind, making him groan constantly.
Tokugawa Iemitsu is not such an easy person to bow his head, no matter whether this peace agreement is true or not, the Wa State will inevitably redeem its troops and continue to confront the Ming Dynasty, and may even have another Korean War.
Zhu Xu watched silently, and Bi Ziyan didn't notice when he walked in.
"See the emperor."
Bi Ziyan walked to the imperial table, looked at Zhu Xu who bowed his head and pondered, and raised his hand.
Zhu Xu looked up at him and said with a smile: "Sit down, I didn't delay your business, right?"
” Bi Ziyan raised his hand, he was used to Zhu Xu's politeness, thanked him and sat down, and then said: "Your Majesty, this year's plan has been deliberated by the parliament, there is no big problem, and it will be sent to the emperor soon." ” Zhu Xu closed Cao Bianjiao's recital and said: "Liu Shimin went to listen to it and told me about it, and I just said one sentence: more than safe, not enough enterprising."
We must speed up further, don't over-seek stability and perfection, we are now racing against time, hurry up, even if there is a small problem, it doesn't matter, you can make up for it later......"
Although Bi Ziyan had accelerated, he obviously couldn't meet Zhu Xu's request, he didn't defend himself, and said, "Yes."
The minister planned to go to Shaanxi in May to see Li Banghua's 'farm strategy' with his own eyes. ” The 'farm policy' has basically spread all over Shaanxi, and the chaos caused is getting bigger and bigger, and the cabinet is almost a little overwhelmed.
Wen Tiren went, although it eased somewhat, but Sichuan, Guizhou and other countries are planning to increase the intensity of implementation, and the movement caused by it is only afraid that it is no less than a big civil unrest, and the pressure of the imperial court is even more majestic and difficult to sustain.
Zhu Xu had no opinion on this, and said, "Well, you can do this."
By the way, what is the cabinet planning for the affairs of the Wa Kingdom?
” Bi Ziyan knew that this was the point that Zhu Xu called him to come, so he didn't detour and said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be discussed by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the ministers should control it, and finally report it to the emperor for approval." ” Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his hand and said: "This matter should indeed be handed over to the Foreign Affairs Bureau to deal with, but this battle is led by the Shuai Mansion, and the war has not stopped. ” Bi Ziyan's brows furrowed, Sun Chengzong wants to think about it, so he won't think about it?
Bi Ziyan knew that Zhu Xu was euphemistically expressing his attitude, but Bi Ziyan was still deeply worried about the expanding power and influence of the Shuai Mansion, and insisted: "The powers and responsibilities of the Emperor, the Shuai Mansion, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau are clear, and the Shuai Mansion should not overstep its authority excessively, causing chaos in the power and duties of the imperial court, and the minister insists that this matter should be led by the cabinet." ” Zhu Xu had a headache, holding his forehead with one hand, he could still press on other things, but now Bi Ziyan was quite insistent on the reason, which made him embarrassed.
Bi Ziyan looked up at Zhu Xu and said decisively: "The minister can allow the Shuai Mansion to send people to participate in the negotiations, but this matter is led by the cabinet, and the emperor decides." ” Bi Ziyan also figured out Zhu Xu's routine, for fear that he would come up with other ideas and use this to block Zhu Xu's mouth.
Zhu Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth, slapped the table and straightened up, and said, "Okay, this matter has been decided."
By the way, Sun Ge is always the second assistant of the cabinet, and he can't be excluded just because he is the marshal of the Marshal's Mansion, and he needs to be consulted more about the affairs of the cabinet. ” Bi Ziyan had a rare hint of self-deprecation on his face, and smiled bitterly in his heart, Rao was scheming, and he couldn't compare to the person in front of him after all.
What he lost was not in the small means at hand, but in a big strategy, this matter, after all, could not bypass Sun Chengzong, that is, the Generalissimo's Mansion.
