Chapter 390: You don't have to be a civil official, our family can also take on big responsibilities (supplement)
Zhu Youxiao looked at the cabinet ministers sitting in front of him through the bead curtain, his eyes showing scrutiny.
Zhu Youxiao is not very clear who can become the chief assistant who can follow Fang Congzhe, understand the sacred intentions, and help the common people, avoid intensifying party struggles, maintain his power, and coordinate internal affairs properly, have both skills and means, and pay more attention to methods.
But as a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao knew the characteristics of these cabinet ministers in front of him.
After all, these people have very detailed records in history.
The first ability is naturally Yuan Keli.
However, since he entered the officialdom, he has loved to fight against powerful and powerful gentry, which led to Yuan Keli, whose career was not very smooth before the Tianqi Dynasty, was obviously not suitable to be the leader of all officials.
Han Du said that he was very selfish and lacked in ability.
Wei Guangwei was extremely tragic and was by no means a good person, nor had the ideal and ambition to improve the country, and only valued personal power.
Xu Guangqi, a technical official, was able to distinguish the situation and was a little noble. Because he was rebellious, he was not tolerated by most scholars and officials.
Bi Ziyan is a technical official and is a good at making money and food, but he is relatively insufficient to play with power and understanding people's hearts.
It is obvious that if the above-mentioned people are in charge, it is appropriate, but they are still a bit short of what they are doing as the prime minister.
But when I think that no one is born to be the prime minister, just like Zhu Youxiao never thought that he could be a good emperor.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to give these people a chance.
Because Fang Congzhe recommended Yuan Keli before his death, Zhu Youxiao decided to give Yuan Keli this opportunity first.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao did not want Han Yu to be similar to Xu Jie. He only wanted to get involved in official positions but did not think about the reform of the country. He was only suitable for being a mascot. The old man who was a peacekeeper was the chief assistant, so he planned to use this reason to bring Yuan Keli forward.
"It is rare that Fang Aiqing must prepare a slander for himself before his death, so that he can fulfill his own emperor's goal. How can I waste it?"
After thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao said, "Yuan Aiqing, since Fang Aiqing was the first to be praised by you when he was dying, you were promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace, as the Chief Auxiliary Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and was awarded the title of Young Master. The other ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were all advanced to the Grand Secretary."
After hearing this, Han Yu wanted to crush Fang Congzhe's bones and ashes, but when he thought that no matter whether Fang Congzhe was a god or a ghost now, he could not provoke him, so he did not dare to think so in his heart, so he had to force his anger to hold back.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Yuan Keli with quite sympathy. He didn't know whether Fang Congzhe did this to help Yuan Keli or deliberately put Yuan Keli on the fire, but he had to admit that old foxes like Fang Congzhe sometimes feel uncomfortable even when they die.
Wei Guangwei also glanced at Yuan Keli, feeling mixed in his heart. He considered himself the second-ranking party figure now. After all, Li Ruhua, Sun Ruyou, and Wang Yingjiao, the former bigwigs of the party, have retired or retired to the second line. However, what he did not expect was that Fang Congzhe would recommend Yuan Keli, but he can only accept this fact now.
Bi Ziyan was very happy to see Yuan Keli become the chief assistant. He knew that Yuan Keli was smart and capable, and with Yuan Keli as the chief assistant, the court would be more energetic.
Yuan Keli gave Zhu Youxiao a grand ceremony with a serious expression at this time: "I obey the order, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"After the new chief minister has been decided, I will discuss several important things at the moment. First, the rule of Goa. Goa is different from Haojing and is far away from Middle Earth. It is inconvenient for the mainland to set up a Governor-General Office. In the first order, Chen Xin should be appointed as the governor-general of Goa, leading the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy envoy of the Censorate, and assigned a battalion of troops to establish a navy system;
As for the specific arrangements, I will first plow the local indigenous people once. There are three types of people who need to be cleaned: one is those who do not have hair and change clothes, two is those who are unwilling to learn Chinese characters and Chinese pronunciations, and three is those who have cultural influence in the local indigenous people, first clean it, and then ask the criminals to be transferred to their land to plant cotton and rice; in addition, local trade will be restored as soon as possible, and the tariffs will be subject to new commercial taxes."
Zhu Youxiao said, "At this point, how to implement the new commercial tax, the whole country should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. At present, Tianjin, Haojing and Goa have been piloted. Next, it will be implemented nationwide."
"What Your Majesty said is that the commercial taxation matter cannot be delayed anymore. A severe drought at the beginning of the year consumed a lot of national treasury. It can be seen that the increase and decrease of agricultural taxes are indeed too affected by the will of heaven. If commercial taxes can be made the main tax source of the national treasury as soon as possible, even if there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, the national treasury revenue will not be affected too much."
Yuan Keli said, "I will obey Your Majesty's will and discuss the implementation of the tax as soon as possible."
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan are activists who advocate reform of commercial taxes.
Because both of them are civil gentry, they are unwilling to let the landlords whose agriculture is the main industry bear the main income of the treasury.
What's more, after the two are at high positions for a long time, especially after participating in the official trade, they also know that the commodity economy now has much more money and is more stable than the agricultural economy.
Whether based on justice or selfishness, the two and the gang of officials behind them stared at the cake of New Trade Tax with bright eyes.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that this might be the reason why Fang Congzhe recommended Yuan Keli first before his death. It was clearly aligned with his emperor's desire to change commercial taxes. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to let Yuan Keli, a guy who was not afraid of offending the powerful and powerful, carry out commercial tax reform.
"Very good!"
Zhu Youxiao replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "A Bukui also bought my Ming officials and attempted to interfere in the affairs of our Ming Dynasty. Such things cannot be tolerated! I sent an order to search the houses of Fang Yizao and other officials involved, and then exiled them to Goa, Taiwan, Haojing, Nagasaki and other newly opened territory! Although A Bukui himself is the governor of the Netherlands, as long as he commits a crime in our Ming Dynasty, no matter how Chinese and foreigners are, he should be punished and executed by storm! I believe that the Netherlands will not be willing to trade with our Ming Dynasty for a governor!"
"yes!"
Yuan Keli continued to reply.
"Just end here, let's go back, and the commercial tax will discuss the charter as soon as possible," said Zhu Youxiao.
...
"I understand! Why did the Fang surnamed Fang recommend Yuan Keli at that time? It turned out that he was reforming the commercial tax layout for His Majesty. He was really scheming!"
After returning home, a big boss from the red robe who was still worried about the other party's first referral of Yuan Keli continued to talk about this to his confidant disciple.
"In this way, this person named Fang is indeed terrifying, but it is better not to change the business tax reform if you can."
"You and I have the final say. Now I can only hope that Yuan Keli will be disappointed and then end up in a bleak situation! You must know that once this commercial tax reform begins to be implemented nationwide, the people who offend not only literati."
...
"Mo Yu! Remember, if we ask you today, don't let anyone know. It's related to your future! After you return to Fang Mansion, don't tell Fang Shihong this, do you understand?"
Wei Zhongxian personally ordered Xi Zuo Mo Yu who had entered the East Factory.
Mo Yu nodded: "I understand!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and nodded: "Get out."
Mo Yu retreated.
Chapter completed!
