Volume 1 Chapter 448: Asking for Salary

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This case seemed very simple on the surface. Wu Jie only thought for a moment before he figured out the key points.

    In the past two years, the Southeast Military has avoided a large amount of military expenditures due to the Lijin system.  Ordinarily, the national finances should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

    But because the Ministry of Revenue has accumulated too much debt in previous years, once money is loose, officials naturally want to make up for the shortfall left over from their tenure as soon as possible.

    ¡°The previous fiscal deficit was too large to be replenished, and the remaining savings were scattered and disappeared without even making a ripple, and had no effect at all.

    In ancient times when the paper currency system was not implemented, once the country's finances deteriorated, there was no way to print a large amount of banknotes and issue national bonds to tide over the crisis.  Moreover, ancient people were not accustomed to living with large amounts of debt.

    As soon as you get rich, you immediately think about repaying your debts, but you never thought that in modern society, which country does not owe debts?

    The United States may be powerful. It is the largest economy in the world, but the debt it owes is spread equally on everyone's head, reaching a huge amount of 30,000 US dollars.  When people live a good life, when they encounter difficulties, they can just borrow money as soon as the money printing machine turns on.  If you eat a lot of grain, it will roll down like a snowball.

    Japan¡¯s economy is developed, the third largest economy in the world.  However, the national debt owed is twice the GDP, and they have not collapsed.

    As for China¡¯s four trillion Haha, the weather is good today!

    After reducing a large amount of military expenditure, in fact, the Ming Dynasty's finances could not breathe a sigh of relief.

    ???????????????????????????? In the past, the military expenditures of several million taels per year were mostly derived from shortfalls and borrowing.  Without this expenditure, it would just be less borrowing.

    But the emperor didn¡¯t know that, but he was thinking in his heart that if I miss this military expenditure today, I will suddenly have five million taels of silver available.  Well, let's just start two national projects and build palaces and temples.  Hubu, bring me the money.

    So, the national treasury was suddenly emptied.

    And there is no money to pay the salaries of officials in Beijing.

    ???????????????????????????????? As soon as Hai Rui submitted the letter, it was all right, and someone with good intentions was used to connect him. For a while, Shang Zhezi¡¯s voice could not stop scolding the emperor, and shouted that he should become the emperor.

    This is clearly the fault of King Jing and his family.

    You must know that emperors from ancient times took power very seriously. There is no father-son relationship in front of imperial power, as long as someone challenges his position as emperor.  If gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if they stand in the way of Buddha, they will kill Buddha.

    "If this matter is not handled properly, given Jiajing's temper, King Yu may be in trouble.

    This incident also happened in real history. Hai Rui¡¯s letter was a famous event in the history of the Ming Dynasty.  However, this was just Master Hai's personal behavior. He offended the emperor and was imprisoned in the sky prison. He was only released after Jiajing's death.

    But this time, because King Jing was in Beijing, it turned out to be something else.

    It became a slogan to ask Jiajing to abdicate.

    When Huang Jin heard what Wu Jie said, he nodded: "That's right. It's precisely because this situation is so chaotic and makes people wary that I couldn't help but say a few good words to Hai Rui and try my best to turn this important matter into a good one."  Small, but I didn¡¯t want to offend Banzai and be taken down.¡±

    There was a trace of anxiety on his face: "Shizhen, the matter is urgent, I just want to ask you, are you from Prince Yu's palace?"

    Wu Jie was shocked and remained silent for a long time.

    Huang Jin shook his head: "I'm really stupid, I shouldn't have asked this kind of question For the sake of the country, Shi Zhen, can you find a way to calm this matter?"

    Wu Jie smiled bitterly: "Huang Gong, Wu Jie has been away from the capital for more than half a year and has only been back for less than a day. Now his eyes are completely black. What can he do?"

    After saying a few more words, Wu Jie suddenly remembered something: "Huang Gong, what's going on with this Chen Hong? Speaking of which, Wu Jie had a good relationship with him back then. Why did he suddenly kill you, Mr. Huang?"  , Also, when I returned to Xiyuan this time, he was replaced by his people inside and outside, and he was also very rude to Wu Jie."

    Huang Jin's face changed color slightly: "I suspect that this Huang Jin is colluding with King Jing."

    Wu Jie: "No way, Chen Hong is doing a good job as the governor of Dongchang. And King Yu will take over the throne in the future, which is expected by everyone. Why should he burn up the cold stove of King Jing? Isn't this thankless? He is still young.  , it is best to do nothing. Mr. Huang, you are old, will the eunuch who will be your palm print in the future not be his?"

    Huang Jin shook his head: "He will never be able to become a palm eunuch in this life, and this person has a great desire for power, so he might take risks."

    Wu Jie was surprised: "Wu Jie doesn't understand."

    "From ancient times to the present, has the governor of Dongchang finally become a eunuch with a palm print?" Huang Jin smiled softly.

      Wu Jie immediately understood that Dongchang's power was astonishing, but he handled so many cases on weekdays that he had enemies all over the world.

    ??????????????????????? As a eunuch who holds the seal, he holds the power of approving the red people. It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people, similar to a prime minister.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To be able to hold a boat does not require you to have great talents. The key is to have charisma, to be able to connect the past and the next, and to communicate and coordinate the left and right.

    ¡°Besides, after being a spy chief for a long time, I know too many secrets, let alone putting them in key positions.

    This is also an unspoken rule in officialdom.

    Wu Jie slapped his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.  At the beginning, he had thought about asking the wealthy king to win over Chen Hong with the position of eunuch, but it seemed that this was not realistic at all.

    Fortunately, I didn¡¯t have time to see the wealthy king, otherwise it would really be a joke.

    Huang Jin: "Just a while ago, there was a snowstorm in Wanping, and more than a dozen people froze to death. A few days ago, refugees entered the city of Beijing. An official wrote a letter to insult His Majesty, and Long Live was not polite, and directly asked Chen Hong to kill him with a royal staff.  Beat him to death. His Majesty said at that time, "It would be most appropriate for Chen Hong to handle this matter." It was probably this sentence that stopped Chen Hong from waiting to take over as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch of the Palm Print. Haha, the eunuch of the Palm Print is not available at hand.  The blood of scholars and civil servants then he colluded with King Jing. The only one in the world who can give him this position is the ambitious King Jing."

    Wu Nod nodded: "It should be like this. Chen Hong has a motive for this matter, and he also has the ability."

    I felt a little nervous. Since Chen Hong controlled the palace and had taken refuge with King Jing, if Jiajing died in the future, this matter would be troublesome.

    Just as he was talking, suddenly, a eunuch ran over from a distance and shouted to the other eunuchs who were guarding here: "Come on, come on, my godfather is famous and he takes his guys to Xinhua Gate. There are a hundred  Many officials came came to make a collective appeal saying they wanted to ask for salary from the court and begging Long Live to release Hai Rui."

    Wu Jie and Huang Jin changed their minds at the same time, and the incident became more and more serious.

    ¡° I have only heard of migrant workers asking for unpaid wages, but I never expected that so many officials would come to ask for their salaries.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Looking?being called injustice for Hai Rui?

    ??If things continue to develop, I'm afraid that I might even be able to say something about asking the emperor to abdicate.
