The Ming Dynasty was deeply influenced by the atmosphere of party struggle, so that whenever there was any disturbance in the country, it tended to move towards a complicated situation. This was what Emperor Chongzhen disliked the most.

If everyone's attention is focused on intrigues and power schemes, then who should shoulder the burden of governing the world and handling government affairs?

Those who are close to vermilion are red; those who are close to ink are black.

If the atmosphere in the court cannot be curbed, let alone the local officialdom. If we want to solve the chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty and reverse the rotten trend, we must make changes from the source.

"Li Qing, I have something here that I have been thinking about for a long time." After sending Wang Zaijin and others away, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Li Banghua to express his views on the post delivery rectification matter.

"After Liu Mao from the military department took charge of the post office affairs, I found that many of the things he did were totally different from the previous memorials submitted.

During these years in the Ministry of War, Li Qing also knew the importance of Yi Di to the country. Originally, I wanted to ask Liu Mao to clean up Yi Di for me, eliminate some of the bloated vassals, and streamline the post stations.

But what Liu Mao did was a pure one-size-fits-all approach, cutting through the mess with a sharp knife and destroying the entire courier system."

Li Banghua, who was still secretly wondering why he was summoned by the emperor at this time, immediately understood what happened after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, many ministers in the court have previously raised various questions about Liu Mao's actions." Li Banghua said to Emperor Chongzhen with a serious expression.

"Specializing in rectifying postal services does not mean abolishing the entire postal system. This would have a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it was the submission of urgent military affairs from various places or the transmission of various official documents, it was inseparable from the support of the post station. However, for the sake of his own career, Liu Mao misinterpreted His Majesty's intentions and even put forward some fallacies to get His Majesty to trust what he was doing.

However, since Liu Mao rectified the post delivery affairs, it has brought a lot of trouble to the country. Even in Shanxi and Shaanxi, many postmen who were laid off and lost their livelihood became angry and defected to the rebels.

According to what I learned, many official documents from the imperial court that need to be distributed to places cannot be delivered in time..."

Listening to what Li Banghua said, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but let out a sigh. For only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, he cut off the tentacles where the Ming Dynasty extended. The key is that this stupid thing really went ahead. It has to be said that the Ming Dynasty was demolishing

In terms of complementing the east wall to the west wall, the work is really thorough.

Although he had not yet come to this world at that time, now that things had happened, he had to bear the blame, but solving the problem now was the fundamental thing.

"Since the matter has already happened, there is no point in talking about it. What we need to do now is to make corresponding remedies." Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and looked at Li Banghua and said.

"The post office matter is very important to me in the Ming Dynasty. It is the foundation for stabilizing the dynasty. We cannot cut it across the board and abolish the entire post office. Liu Mao went too far in this matter.

I plan to ask Li Qing to take charge of the restructuring of Yi Chuan. Li Qing will come forward to stop the unreliable things Liu Mao has done. This is what I have been thinking about in the past few days regarding the restructuring of Yi Chuan. Li Qing, you can

Let’s take a look first.”

It is absolutely forbidden to admit mistakes to ministers, even if the previous abolition of the post station caused considerable harm and hidden dangers to the Ming Dynasty.

But now that it has happened, what we can do at this stage is to actively make amends and try to minimize this harm.

Speaking of which, Emperor Chongzhen was really impressed by the ability of certain civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to deceive people and to figure out the holy will.

No matter what harm he did to the future of tomorrow, he should first solve the immediate problem and gain the trust of the emperor. The key is to advance his official career.

As for any problems that arise in the future, just think of ways to shift the blame. Officials like this who are pragmatic, talkative, and do not consider reality can be said to be everywhere in the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.

"Reorganization of Yi Chuan?"

Li Banghua, who had received the document, looked through it under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen. He originally thought that the emperor's proposal to reform the post office system was essentially the same as Liu Mao's rectification of the post office system. After reading it,

No matter how careful the warning is, we really can't do such a thing as abolishing the inn.

But after seeing the contents of the document, the expression on Li Banghua's face began to change slightly, from solemnity, to shock, to surprise...

Emperor Chongzhen saw all the changes in Li Banghua's demeanor. It seemed that Li Banghua did not directly object to the Yi Chuan restructuring he proposed.

"Li Qing, do you have any opinions or thoughts on these plans that I have conceived?" After seeing Li Banghua read the documents on Yi Chuan's restructuring, Emperor Chongzhen lifted up his robe sleeves and said, "If you think there is anything wrong with it,

We, the monarchs and ministers, can discuss it first, and then Li Qing will make detailed revisions and promote the reform of Yi Chuan."

Important channels related to the extension of the Ming Dynasty must be left to pragmatic officials like Li Banghua to handle and take charge. Otherwise, if you want to do a good job in this matter, I am afraid that the progress will not be too significant.

Previously, Liu Mao, a talkative guy, made a bad start and ruined the Ming Dynasty's relay system, especially the northern provinces adjacent to Gyeonggi. In order to win their own trust, they even

All of them have been eliminated, and the degree of promotion in the south is uncertain due to the distance between them.

Now Li Banghua is asked to take over the restructuring of Yichuan. If the mess that Yichuan has suffered can be restored in the shortest possible time, the situation will be much better.

"Your Majesty... will make the Ming Dynasty's post offices in various places completely independent, and establish the post offices at all levels. Wouldn't this pressure be transferred to the Ministry of War?"

Li Banghua thought for a while and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "It's not that I mean to shirk, it's just that I don't understand how to manage the independent profit and loss of Yi Chuan Bureau.

What exactly are the so-called "stamps" used for?

Also, if we really want to make the relay station independent from the local level, how will the levels of the relay station bureaus be determined at all levels?"

Different from what Emperor Chongzhen had in mind, Li Banghua did not directly object to this matter, but only put forward some of his own opinions. After all, this was fundamentally different from the Ming Dynasty's previous relay system.

If I can answer these questions one by one with Li Banghua and truly promote the Ming Dynasty e-mail system in the direction of independent operation, then in a few years, the e-mail field will not only be able to get rid of the deficit, but even earn corresponding profits.
