In the silence, just as the ministers were watching Li Xiuzhi, who was standing at the head of all officials, the civil servants were lined up, and Li Banghua, the Minister of Works, suddenly stood up.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of the civil and military ministers of the court, and many civil officials even lit up their eyes, obviously they were looking forward to it.
now,
"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the ward has been decaying for a long time and has been useless. Qin Gong has great courage to conduct investigations and rectification... Looking at the past dynasties and reforms, all the things that have been carried out have been boiling and turning around..."
"It's just because reforms touch their interests!"
"Now, this is exactly what it means to do for your own interests, to change the country, and to use any means, without a king or a father, such a thief, the court must not retreat at all..."
"Under such a situation, slandering Qin Gong and disrupting the court can be said to be someone with ulterior motives, maybe..."
As for this, Li Banghua paused for a moment, slowly looked up, looked at the empress dowager and the emperor behind the gauze tent, with a firm look and said slowly: "I have to tell you that you have to cheat the thief and sell the country, and you have to kill me!"
The voice was calm and firm, word by word, and in the silence, it was clearly heard to every courtier in the hall.
After the words came to the court, the silence returned to silence again. Obviously, few people could have thought that the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and a Minister of State would stand on the side of their opponents at this time.
But this silence lasted for only a moment, and soon, several civil officials jumped out without any concern about the face of the Shangshu Pavilion, or in other words, they directly tear their faces apart!
"All nonsense! A minister of the ministry, just based on his imagination, he...
"I think Lord Li's behavior..."
The noise started again, but this time, the spearhead turned from outside to inside, and seemed to have turned into a storm among civil servants.
"Shut up!"
The noise had just spread, and with a shout, the whole court instantly returned to silence again, and gazes gathered again at the source of the shout, the Duke of Qin, the head of all officials.
At this moment, Li Xiu scolded, then bowed to the Empress Dowager, then slowly turned around and looked at the ministers.
The cold eyes were like a cold front, scanning the ministers. None of the court officials who jumped happily dared to look at each other at this moment, and they showed their fear and bowed their heads without saying a word.
"I have said a long time ago that if you don't dare to care about things, I will take care of you. If you don't dare to kill someone, I will take care of you!"
"Since you don't have the courage, just stay there!"
"I fan the flames and keep jumping, is it because this governor does not exist?"
"Or, do you think the so-called chaos at the moment give you confidence?"
With a cold look around the audience, the atmosphere of the entire Huangji Palace suddenly solidified.
But this time, in the midst of depression, he jumped out without fear of death. In the surprised eyes of the officials, he directly confronted Li Xiu.
"Why would you like to ask Duke Qin, now that the grain of grain is completely destroyed, all parts of Jiangnan are too busy to take care of themselves, and all taxes, money and grain are delayed. How can this be solved?"
"If there is chaos today and mutiny continues, what should I do?"
"The Liao thieves are eyeing the Jin Dynasty, so what should I do?"
Asking questions were full of enthusiasm, in the end, the censor seemed to be infected by his righteousness and shouted directly:
"Internal and external troubles are coming, the country is in a turbulent state, and the mountains and rivers are about to fall. Isn't this because of you?"
"absurd!"
Before Li Xiu could speak out, Sun Chuanting, Minister of War, shouted violently.
"Since ancient times, no new policy has been smooth. As I said, is it a crime to do things, and if you do nothing, it is glorious?"
"At this critical moment of reform, I don't want to relieve my worries and unite my heart, but instead fan the flames. What is your intention?"
"Taizu's system, censors are not guilty of words..."
The censor was very determined and did not show any weakness.
"What is the blame for censors who are not guilty of words but do not agree with each other?"
This time, before Sun Chuanting could scold him, Li Xiu said something quietly.
After saying this, the faces of those officials who were still righteous suddenly changed. Just as someone wanted to argue, Li Xiu did not give them any opportunity to argue. He called out outside the hall. Outside the hall, several great Han generals walked into the hall with a wooden box, and then handed the files to the officials one by one.
Then, Li Xiu waved his hand, and a team of Jinyiwei rushed into the hall, like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, directly holding down more than a dozen officials, unloading their heads, and escorting them to the center of the hall.
Li Xiu ignored the fright of all officials. He spoke slowly as if he was expounding a fact: "If you eat the king's fortune, you will not do anything loyal to the king. Instead, you will collude with foreign thieves, fan the flames, and disrupt the court. The evidence is conclusive. How to deal with it should be done without the need for this governor to say more!"
After saying that, Li Xiu waved his hand and the dozen officials had no chance to speak, so they were dragged out of the court. The consequences were clear.
This sudden change undoubtedly made all the officials in the court unresponsive. What Sun Chuanting wanted to say, but looking at the extremely conclusive evidence in the file, he finally suppressed the idea of ​​stopping.
In extraordinary times, he cannot be pedantic in doing extraordinary things!
"In the mutiny, this governor has sent troops to suppress..."
"Tongzhou Dacang has opened warehouses to transport grain to the capital, which is enough to maintain the needs of the capital for more than half a year..."
"This governor has ordered the Denglai Navy to go to Jiangnan. A large number of sea ships have been recruited. The grain transportation will be temporarily changed to sea transportation. The problem of food, grass and materials has been solved. The Ministry of Revenue has presided over the implementation as soon as possible."
After cleaning up the person who was supposed to clean up, Li Xiu changed his mind and pointed to the issues that the court officials were most concerned about.
As soon as these words were said, all officials were surprised that they knew that the canal transport was changed to sea transport. After all, the Denglai Navy had been mobilized long before the reform. Judging from the current situation, the mobilization of this navy can be easily analyzed.
But the problem of food and grass is obviously not so easy to solve, although everyone knows that there are food stocks in the capital, and the amount is extremely large.
But sustainability is undoubtedly two different concepts.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Now, in the tax-tax place in Jiangnan, there are mutinies and rebellions, and the water transportation is cut off. It is still difficult to protect yourself in various places, let alone those with ulterior motives make trouble. It is undoubtedly a huge problem to raise food, grass and supplies.
Such a difficult thing was solved quietly?
Unlike the surprise and doubts of all officials, Liu Qiyuan had obviously known the inside story, so he bowed his hand and did not ask any more questions.
After all, as the Minister of Revenue, how could he not see the huge existence that could already be called the number one money house in the Ming Dynasty?
At first, I thought that the Duke of Qin was involved in business and personally promoted it. I was not willing to be criticized for this, but I simply did not be subject to the jurisdiction of these civil officials for food, grass, and money, so that these troops could complete the cycle of self-sufficiency.
But now, after this chaos, Liu Qiyuan suddenly understood the true meaning of such a layout!
If mutinies were endless, the grain transportation was cut off, taxes were delayed, and the gentry in various places was disrupted, just an imbalance in supply and demand would be enough to easily subvert the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, in the past, major frontier towns were all maintained by merchants' transportation of grain, and the imperial court's grain storage system was almost false. Most of them used money to buy food and grass, and taxes were used to collect money. For the people, market transactions were indispensable, and grain was exchanged for money...
There is no doubt that any imbalance in this link is a huge disaster!
But now, there is a huge money house, and all the supply and demand are in the hands of the Duke of Qin. Even if gentry and merchants in various places make trouble, they cannot damage the deepest foundation. Even the supply and demand controlled by the Duke of Qin can quickly spread and expand through this storm, thus making this foundation more stable.
But now, although this thing that worries him the most, although it happened briefly, it was soon calmed down. Obviously, the Duke of Qin must have direct intervention in the market with the help of money merchants.
The news he has received recently also clearly proves that the Duke of Qin has not appeared during this period, and is obviously busy with this.
Of course, what Liu Qiyuan cares most was the terrifying role played by the merchant power that was fundamentally controlled by the money house...
Everyone thinks that mutiny and rebellion are a terror, but only when he is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and knows the specific inside story, he truly understands that the confrontation in the dark, or the battle for economic dominance as Qin Gong said, is the most terrifying thing...
However, even though he is familiar with the inside story, Liu Qiyuan still has too many confusions in the twists and turns.
These……
