Obviously, once Zhang Xiu is dealt with, the Hangzhou New Learning that he brought with him will also begin to be sorted out, especially the various published texts that were treasonous.
Who among the orthodox scholars would want to travel through time? Even traveling through time would kill Saint Kong. All this is naturally the result of the clamor of new learning and the lack of popular support.
For King Yu, he was initially a little distanced from the new content, but later he found it strange. I've been reading a lot of storybooks lately, and I've discovered that there's some truth in them.
It’s just that it’s different from Confucianism. If you want to save someone, you can’t open your mouth.
The second concern is the salary arrears of court officials. Now basically Beijing-based officials have been owed their salaries many times.
In the past, there were still pepper discounts, but this winter it has developed to the point where almost all pepper discounts are gone.
Although the salary arrears are only for one or two months, it is extremely harmful to morale. Especially those who are honest and self-reliant. On the contrary, it doesn't matter if he is corrupt, and he can even gain the reputation of being loyal and understanding of the court's difficulties.
How to make money is difficult.
The commercial taxes Zhejiang paid to the capital this year have increased tenfold. But it doesn't have much effect because the base number is too low. That's just an increase from 2,000 taels to 30,000 taels. Moreover, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, most commercial taxes were withheld from local taxes and fees, and even less were paid to the capital.
If other provinces could follow Zhejiang's example and get two to thirty thousand taels from each province, a total of three hundred thousand taels would be able to meet their urgent needs. However, this is a good thing, just think about it. As long as some business taxes can be deducted, King Yu does not think that his father Huang Jiajing can be so charitable that he does not squeeze anything out of these places.
Of course, I have also heard about the recent large sum of silver brought into the palace from Hangzhou. But in this matter, it is basically impossible for him to take the initiative to request an order to use internal funds to support the household department.
After all, we have just restored the good father-son relationship with Jiajing. It would be too dangerous if we fall out because of this.
The final worry is that Jiajing has recently become more and more separated from the court and engaged in various solo operations.
Previously, the military expenses for the 500-person young army in Hangzhou were basically funded by internal funds. As a result, it is now clear that in addition to the 500 regular soldiers, there are also 500 reserve soldiers. These reserve soldiers are not considered young soldiers, but they receive the same training and treatment as young soldiers. However, their status is temporarily as captains or strongmen of the Qianhu Institute in Dongcheng, Fusi, Beizhen.
Not to mention this, almost all Qi Jiguang's troops who moved to Ji Town recruited soldiers. A considerable part of its military expenditures and guardsmen were allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the excess was directly paid out of internal funds.
There is basically no need to pay military expenditures for the guards. If you don't have a regular soldier for a year, there is basically no need for military expenditures. Military tasks only cost about ten taels of silver a year, which is far worse than working as a long-term worker for a gentry's family.
The Qi Army’s recruitment and auxiliary troops are more than just this treatment. The annual salary for serious soldiers and cane players, such as spearmen, basically starts at forty taels.
In addition to Qi Jiajun, the craftsmen’s office in Nanzhen Fusi also increased their benefits. It is said that the master craftsman can wear silk. Dongcheng Qianhu Institute also established a new garrison Qianhu Institute of the medical school.
These wages or increments are generated by companies using internal funds.
After looking back, King Yu discovered something. Emperor Jiajing was completely planning to break away from the court and work alone.
Fortunately, I feel that Jiajing will not start his own rebellion. But if he changed his identity, let alone doing these things, even if he wrote them down, he would be punished by the Nine Clans.
But this also fully exposed Jiajing's distrust of officials and even other generals.
This kind of distrust can be seen by officials without being a fool. Therefore, in this twelfth lunar month, various documents of advice arrived like snowflakes in the palace of Prince Yu, who had just come into contact with power.
It’s hard to be small between the two. King Yu really realized this for once. The key is that King Yu, who sympathized with the officials but did not dare to offend his father, could not find his rightful place.
Other than writing letters of relief over and over again, King Yu could not think of any good solution. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
