Chapter 227 Ouyang Lun's death(1/4)
Fang Shiyu entered the study room, looked at the memorial that had been delivered, and said with a serious expression: "Fortunately I didn't have dinner with them, otherwise I would have been busy today!"
While biting the steamed bun, Fang Shiyu rushed into the pile of memorials.
As Fang Shiyu handled more and more government affairs, writing brushes became more and more convenient, and he no longer needed to think too much about the opinions on many things.
Practice makes perfect, just squeeze it with your own hands.
From Chen time to You time, Fang Shiyu barely approved all the memorials for two days, twisted his neck and stretched his waist.
Alas, I’m going to have a court meeting again, this day is really busy!
With a faint voice sighing, Fang Shiyu walked out of the study room, Zhu Ziyi looked at Fang Shiyu and said, "Your Highness is finished?"
"You can still get up, I thought you could sleep until tomorrow's Mao hour!" Fang Shiyu smiled, got up at Mao hour, ate and sang, and went to the study to handle government affairs.
You can handle the accumulated government affairs without using Western times, and then take a break and prepare for daily meetings. This has become customized.
"That's not your highness, forget it, let's not talk about it. The Ganqing Palace sent someone to come and ask me to see what rewards should be given to Beauty Zhang."
Zhu Ziyi shook her head. It was indeed not a good thing to say that shy thing in public.
Fang Shiyu glanced at him and said, "The will of the Ganqing Palace was for you, not for me. Just make your own decision. I don't know what you women like!"
As he said that, Fang Shiyu was about to cross Zhu Ziyi, and the time of the daily meeting was getting closer and closer. Zhu Ziyi grabbed Fang Shiyu and said, "Then are you going to let me do it yourself?"
"What about it? The phoenix seal is in your hands, not in my hands. Just give me some. Beauty Zhang is not old and is pregnant. The palace is waiting for her to give birth to a child and a half of her daughter so that she can give birth to an uncle and an aunt for me!"
Fang Shiyu said impatiently, and walked over Zhu Ziyi in just a few steps and walked towards the distance.
Zhu Ziyi stamped her feet in anger.
......
Eastern Palace, Zhan Shi Mansion.
When Fang Shiyu appeared in Zhan Shi Mansion in a dusty manner, the tail officials at all levels were almost all tied up.
Fang Shiyu said: "Time is tight. Today I will talk about three things, about my government affairs consultant, and about the laying of town and sanitation administrative agencies! There are also issues of popularizing education!"
"I think your opinions are very important. There are still too few scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and even fewer scholars."
"Since you need to be selected locally, you will naturally be the locals, otherwise how can the people feel at ease?"
"So, I mean, the re-election system is temporarily allowed, once every three years, and every time the term is changed, we must check whether the village is clean."
"In addition, I think the promotion of education is also extremely important. From the first year of Hongwu to today, there are more than 730 social schools across the country and more than 30,000 privately familiar with them. However, social schools and private schools all have to contribute money and work. They belong to the private industry. Xingran teaches and educates people, but more of the Master earns tuition."
"I mean, the first task of establishing towns and wards in various places is to build a public social school and a private school in each town and ward." Fang Shiyu looked confident, and education was indeed a big problem.
Whether the Ming Dynasty can last longer? Talent, patriotism, and nation are indispensable. National unity and people love the country, all of which mark the prosperity of a country.
The Ming Dynasty is indeed strong now, leading all countries around the world. Zhu Yuanzhang is also vigorously promoting education, but relatively speaking, the strength is still a little worse.
The education funds provided by the court were not enough to support them.
"Your Highness, wouldn't you emptiate the treasury? The treasury has a surplus of only 5.8 million taels in Hongwu's 25th year. Yesterday, a big wedding cost 3 million taels. If there is still a increase in fiscal expenditure..." Zhao Mian was the first to stand up and rebel.
The Ming Dynasty lacks silver, and it is very short of money.
Zhao Mian was slightly stunned. This was the first time he saw Fang Shiyu so angry. He looked at Fang Shiyu in a daze, and didn't know how to tell for a moment.
"Also, after the Tai'an Prefecture palace was repaired, Lao Zhutou moved the capital to Tai'an, the imperial court lifted the maritime ban, and various places built the Maritime Warehouse Department to trade with overseas countries!"
"You don't know about the items of the Ming Dynasty. You can sell them at a sky-high price. Money is not the most important thing. If you make money, let the money cultivate talents for the country, pillars of the country, and mainstay for the country."
"Another, I just give my advice. I want to build official schools, private schools and free education in various towns and towns. This matter can only be used as a plan. It's not that I touch my upper lip and my lower lip. The teachers are all ready to wait for the start of work in this club to start!"
"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of teaching and educating people. The Ministry of Rites has come up with a charter. I want to see effective, opinions and guidance plans."
"The popularization of education costs the country's money, and the country's money is also taken from the people. It is understandable to take it from the people and use it for the people."
"Why does the Ministry of Revenue spend every year regarding education investment?" Fang Shiyu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Mian lowered his head and hesitated for a moment. Then he remembered how the people from the Zhu family took the interests of civil servants to heart. Fang Shiyu was basically half of the Zhu family, and he became the son-in-law of the Zhu family, and now he has the power to take over.
From Zhu Yuanzhang to Fang Shiyu, they only focused on the interests of the army and the interests of the people of the country, and only Zhu Biao would care about the interests of civil servants.
But it does not mean that Zhu Biao will favor the interests of civil servants when the interests of the army, the country, and the people conflict with the interests of civil servants.
The army and the people are the foundation of Emperor Zhu, and the army is the basic foundation. As long as there is no problem with the army, there are more civil servants who want to be officials.
There are countless literati who have sharpened their heads and tried to work hard for Emperor Zhu.
Learn civil and military skills and sell goods to the imperial family.
"Education accounts for one percent of the expenditure." Zhao Mian said awkwardly.
"Then I'm not much different. This table divides the income and expenditure of the imperial court in the 25th year of Hongwu."
"One of the military expenditure accounts for 37% of the total annual tax revenue, which is the most invested by the imperial court. It requires an investment of 15 million taels per year."
"The salary of officials, the salary of royal families, and the salary of nobles account for three percent of the annual tax revenue."
"The remaining 60% of the tax revenue is used for local financial support, which also saves the trouble of transportation."
"Official shipyards invest 8% of the taxes every year, and the investment in firearm procurement is 13%. In fact, the military alone accounts for 50% of the taxes for the whole year."
"Less than one percent is placed on education, and the remaining 11% taxes will be saved by the Ministry of Households to store them in the warehouse to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters."
"This book is understandable, but I think it's enough to save food. There is no need for the court to spend more than 5% of the money every year to use it for education and education!"
"Only when everyone in the Ming Dynasty was a scholar, the gentry families in local villages would not be so easy to appear! Because everyone can run for the village chief!"
"The popularization of education is crucial and must not be careless. I have asked His Majesty for decree. I should increase my investment in education this year!"
Fang Shiyu's voice fell.
Zhao Mian said, "Your Highness, if you increase your investment in education by 5%, the annual settlement of the imperial treasury will not reach 500,000 taels of silver."
"Three years later, Tai'an Prefecture needs to settle the project funds on schedule. How can the court give out four million taels of silver!"
Zhao Mian looked at Fang Shiyu with a tangled look on his face and said
Zhan Hui nodded slightly, and Li Yuanming, who was beside him, sighed.
"The first thing to be built is the palace. All the construction costs of the palace should be paid by the treasury. The construction of the inner city and the outer city is where the treasury pays for it."
"So, Xindu Royal Palace does not belong to the country, but to the royal family. Can Lord Zhao understand this?"
Fang Shiyu also gave up. Construction of the imperial palace in Tai'an Prefecture has begun. The court has no money, so there is really no way. Zhu Yuanzhang had to pay from Nennu.
Fortunately, the treasury has saved a lot of money, and even if we build the entire Tai'an Prefecture, the thirteen years of investment have stabilized, let alone build a palace.
As soon as Fang Shiyu finished speaking, Zhan Hui, who was standing beside him, said, "Your Highness, if you do this, it's not impossible. It's just that after a long time, it will be the turn of the court to pay sooner or later."
Nodding slightly, Fang Shiyu said: "This is not an urgent matter now. Regarding the issue of how the imperial court and the treasury invest, I have time to talk about it in the future. Today I will talk about the increase in education investment."
"The court has a surplus of 800,000 taels and tens of millions of stones of grain every year. Maintaining the stability of the world is not difficult. If it really becomes chaotic, food is the most important thing!"
"You all know this better than me. Many of you have come from the Blast!
Fang Shiyu said calmly.
Nodding his head, Zhan Hui continued, "That's the case, but what if you fight?"
"If you are so serious, there will be no Northern Expedition within three years, and there will be no major battles. In addition, I have also said that if the sea ban is lifted, wealth will naturally come!"
Fang Shiyu admitted frankly.
The maritime ban must be lifted. Whether it is to strengthen maritime power, overseas influence, or make money, the existence of the maritime ban has little meaning.
Fang Shiyu didn't want to learn from Zhu Laosi, so she only engaged in royal trade and ate meat by herself, so that others would not even have the chance to drink soup. It would be strange if such trade could last for a long time.
Zhan Hui said, "Well, since the imperial edict has been requested, then just do as your highness wishes!"
All the ministers agreed.
Fang Shiyu said: "The first two things have been finished. The last thing I have prepared a list, selected seven people, and worked in the East Palace to help me handle government affairs."
"Since His Majesty's decree of the Prime Minister, my father, I have replaced the Prime Minister's work, but when the Prime Minister was there, there were a large number of personal assistants, and I also need it! Although I had established a cabinet before, I went to sea for the past few years, due to the loss of personnel, I didn't have time to replenish these seven people."
Fang Shiyu sighed.
When Zhu Yuanzhang handled government affairs himself, he also had a personal assistant, and Zhu Biao also had it. However, the personal assistant must be chosen as a confidant.
"The people who read the names above are Bao Zhao, Hou Tai, Jing Qing, Lian Zining, Xia Yuanji, Zheng Ci, and Sai Yi!"
"The above list is seven people. Those with positions have resignations and those without positions have been promoted. If there are vacant departments, the departments will start to replenish them!"
After saying that, Fang Shiyu stood up and said, "These seven people, at three o'clock every day, will be handed over government affairs at the Zhanshi Mansion, attach suggestions and transfer to the study room."
"The value is lower than the hour of You!"
"In addition, the future will be reduced, every three days!" Fang Shiyu was really a little crazy. It was too fulfilling for this fulfilling life.
I woke up in the morning and was busy until dark. I finally finished my government affairs. I had a meeting here, and after dinner, and I had time to go around Lao Zhu. In fact, most of the time, after the meeting, I was almost done to sleep after the meeting, and I had no time to run around.
Everyone looked at each other. Fang Shiyu Nian's names were the highest, and the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and more were the nameless new members.
Appearing on Fang Shiyu's list really makes people feel surprised. But at this time, no one will think about these things. What they think is that when they can retire and return home and retire after success.
The youngest was thinking about how he could keep his official position and not be snatched away by these seven people.
After all, in the East Palace, in the Zhanshi Mansion, they helped Fang Shiyu to handle government affairs. In the future, Zhu Biao ascended the throne and would take over the positions of senior officials in other departments at any time.
To be continued...
