Twenty. The New Year celebration has eliminated the fatigue after the end, and it has been on the right track.

However, the cabinet's daily discussions are extremely quiet. Anyone with a certain identity in the capital knows that although the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng is diligent in government affairs, he is also a hobby for banquets and beauty. The first month of the year has always been the time for him to have fun. However, last year, Mr. Zhang's father died of illness, and his children should be filial and stricter, so he cannot even touch wine, meat, meat, and fish, let alone indulge in love.

So since he went to court for the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zhang Juzheng has always had a gloomy face and is not in a good mood.

Last year, a large number of hidden land were found, and the tax base of the imperial court increased sharply. Officials from various departments of the Ministry of Revenue, to the ministers and ministers above. From the twelfth lunar month last year to the present, the smile on their faces has never stopped.

Nearly thirty years of hardship have finally passed. The treasury began to have a surplus last year, and this year I can even hope that the treasury will be full.

There are small-scale rebellions all around. Each province can evaluate by mobilizing troops and horses on its own, and there are no famines. There are not many places to spend money, and it will be much easier if you calculate it next year.

No wonder the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were happy. In the past, every year, the army had already racked their brains to the officials in the palace for the sake of the local government. From the Shangshu to the subordinates, they did not use it from now on. How could they not be happy easily?

With a wealth of finances, everyone is in a good mood, but no one can reflect this joy on his face because Mr. Zhang is in a bad mood.

Zhang Juzheng, the assistant of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War Zhang Siweishen, was respectful and diligent. He himself was also respectful and diligent, and Zhang Juzheng explained things. He never stayed overnight here, and he must do it thoroughly and was very capable. He always did it properly, and his status and power grew higher.

Now, Zhang Siwei is nominally ranked under Zhang Juzheng, Lu Diaoyang, and Grand Secretary Ma Ziqiang, but his actual power is already ranked second.

This was just a change of more than two months. Everyone in the world lamented that there were many capable people. You should know that the second position was the second place. It turned out that the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng was the Minister of Personnel Zhang Han. Unexpectedly, Zhang Han could not see the situation clearly.

Early in the morning, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice and the corresponding important officials entered Wenyuan Pavilion one after another. After coming in, nodded and greeted him, then sat upright and waited for Zhang Juzheng to arrive.

Zhang Siwei, who has always been kind and greeted everyone with a smile, looked a little cautious when entering the house this time, and didn't know what was wrong.

Seeing Zhang Siwei look like this, some ministers with great thoughts were worried, thinking that something was wrong. Zhang Siwei is a close friend of Mr. Zhang!

Soon, Zhang Juzheng also came to the house. Everyone in the house stood up to pay homage and greet him. Zhang Juzheng nodded calmly and sat there and opened a few folds to look.

Master Pavilion is in a bad mood. If everyone smiles, it would be disrespectful to Master Fu. So let’s not talk to him.

According to the rules of these days, the old master of the Pavilion has arrived. There is almost a stick of incense in the Wenyuan Pavilion. The old ministers who are older this year have to be energetic. Otherwise, they may have gone to bed for a while. When the emperor comes, it will be a great sin in front of the king.

"Gei Master, the lower official learned a news from the Ministry of War last night, saying that Li Chengliang, the general of Liao Town, led a large army to go out to the frontier and attack Bahai of Taining's army. This time, he was 100% sure. The time was calculated that there was a news of a great victory in three or five days." "He, Li Chengliang, is really a famous general."

"Bahai, the thief chief, has been in trouble for more than ten years, and I don't know if he can kill this person this time..."

Hearing Zhang Siwei's words, the ministers buzzed and discussed. Li Youzi, Minister of Personnel, and Shen Shixing, Minister of Rites, looked at each other. This was clearly good news. Why did Zhang Siwei look so discouraged? There was something strange about it. Both of them were silent and silent.

Zhang Juzheng coughed lightly, and the room suddenly became quiet. Zhang Juzheng said in a deep thought:

"Li Chengliang is good at attacking, and his subordinates have many powerful generals and powerful soldiers; it is reasonable to win, but Bahai of Taining tribe won three times in three years, but Bahai is still a disaster outside the pass. If there is a big victory this time, the praise will be given to him, and the joints must also be explained to him."

When everyone was happy, Zhang Juzheng said this. Although this is the case, he poured a basin of cold water on the atmosphere.

Zhang Siwei Lishang stood up, and he bowed and said, "No disappointment on his face, without any disappointment."

,just

"When Mr. Ran saw Ming, Xiaguan's vision was narrow. When the military newspaper over there came, he would definitely plan to apply for the ticket."

With such a low posture, Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction. Everyone looked at each other but didn't say anything. He thought that Zhang Siwei, who was clear-minded, wasn't it to make it uncomfortable to say this? Zhang Siwei sat down, took out a note and said loudly:

"I have a note here, which is the Tianjin Bingdao Pandayan Liqin, and he can't make up his mind. So I asked me to see if I hand it over to Jinshuang and call Chuanbian?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng frowned again and said coldly:

"I have already achieved military preparation. Haven't the Censorate and the Ministry of War taught him the rules? I have also made so many weird things about memorials."

"The Master of the Pavilion is forgiven. The military pay, food and grass in Jizhen were raised and distributed by Pan Da, but after Wang Tong, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, went to take office, he had a conflict with him."

Zhang Siwei said it very slowly, but the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng's face darkened. The ministers can still roughly judge the likes and dislikes of Zhang Ge Lao. Wang Tong's name obviously won't make Zhang Ge Lao happy, but what Zhang Juzheng said shows that he made a clear judgment:

"Then why did Panda offend Wang Tong for nothing?"

"It's a good idea that the old master of the Pavilion knew that Panda gave Wang Tong a 20% discount on the military pay he sent as usual, and then he made 6 yuan and four yuan. This is also the rule of the main army's guest army, but Wang Tong was furious and said that he could not be discounted, and he insisted on not having treasure money. Panda was also in a dilemma. This rule is done in the whole world. Wang Qianhu gave the rice pay he didn't have to discount. What if other camps in Ji Town cause trouble?"

After he finished speaking, all the ministers in the room could not sit still. Yue Min, the Minister of Revenue, stood up excitedly, and first bowed to Zhang Juzheng. The voice was a little trembling:

"The military pay will inevitably be depleted. If it is not broken, wouldn't this beggars bleed and cut off the body of the Ming Dynasty? Besides, the discount on the rice banknote is also determined based on the situation in various places. How can it be changed? Master, the national treasury has just recovered. If there is a storm in this matter, there are so many soldiers and horses in the nine border areas of the Ming Dynasty, and in the mainland provinces, something may happen again."

"The martial artists are vulgar. If they are hungry, they can prevent them from getting into trouble. When General Qi of Ji Town was in Xijiang, the soldiers below were not hungry. The food and wages were all owed for half a year, and they were defeated and made great contributions. This means that the people who are in the army have nothing to do with the victory or defeat. As long as we choose the right general and the commander, we can win the battle."

"Li Chengliang from Liaodong is said to have been deducted by him for nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. He has won the long victory over so many years, and he has been rewarded with these soldiers and generals. This is a discount. If he had the full salary, what would he do? What if he had any other thoughts?"

The court officials started to talk about it with one word. No one thought that the full salary was a good thing. The Minister of Rites Shen Shixing didn't say anything, but he kept nodding there, looking like he agreed. He knew very well that the discount on the salary and the proportion of the rice bills, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the relevant officials below did not know how much money it was divided from it. Moreover, this was related to all aspects, including local prefectures, counties, provinces, and courts. It is no exaggeration to say that if this part is moved, 60% of civil servants in the world will suffer. Who dares to touch it?

, Wanbi

If the civil servant agrees, he will inevitably be attacked by everyone, and all kinds of crimes are hit on the head, and it will be completely doomed. Therefore, when this matter is said in this Wenyuan Pavilion, everyone must express their attitude, otherwise they will not be able to sit firmly in this position.

Lu Diaoyang, the second assistant to the cabinet, rarely expressed any opinions. His family is a large family in Jiangxi, and there is no shortage of money and land, so he never has any stain on money. Moreover, Lu Diaoyang is old. Even if he doesn't express his opinion, no one will target him.

However, the old minister pondered for a while and stood up from his seat. After all, his identity and qualifications were placed there. Zhang Juzheng raised his head for Lu Tiyang's action. The others also calmed down.

"Gei Master, my colleagues, when our Ming Dynasty Master Cheng Zu, we started to mix grain, rice, money and money in the army, and there were discounts. Until today, what is the purpose of this warrior? It is not to restrain this martial artist, and the warrior dances with swords and guns, and does not read the principles of sages, and if he indulges, he will do lawless behavior."

Everyone nodded, Lu Diaoyang's white beard floated with a righteous expression on his face, and continued to say loudly:

"The rule set by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Cheng is that we civil officials are the first to assist the emperor in commanding the world. This is also the rule of ancestors. But now the military generals everywhere are arrogant and domineering. If there is no military pay control, I don't know what kind of chaos will be caused since the founding of the country. There is no military chaos, which is the benefit of this rule. How can such a thousand-year-old rule be used to serve a treacherous and slandered accountant, who is trusted by His Majesty, be filled with tears and is so excited that he cannot control himself.
