First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 310

Li Shanchang was full of opinions, but in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, he really didn't dare to say more, for fear that he would cut himself off when he mentioned the sword.

For the sake of his old life, Li Shanchang hugged his head and fled.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang's back and snorted heavily.

The anger in my heart is overwhelming, and there is a strong sense of being deceived.

Lao Zhu belongs to a very strong and stubborn temper. At the beginning, Zhang Ximeng listed so many books for him, but he couldn't read and write completely, so he just gnawed it down.

He is not afraid of enduring hardships, not afraid of getting up early and going to bed late, he is conscientious and conscientious, like an old farmer, taking care of his foundation.

He thinks that no matter how small or small, he should be involved. Changchang fights with Li Shanchang for a trivial matter.

A heart is thrown on it, there is nothing bad!

But today, Zhu Yuanzhang realizes that he may have made a mistake.

Governing a country really isn't about putting your life and effort into it, and you can get a return.

This industry is very evil. If you can't master the tricks, the more effort you put into it, the less you will gain, or even the exact opposite.

That is, Xi Ti worked hard in the morning, worked diligently, and made himself the king of the subjugated country.

Take this official system design as an example, it seems that who should be the minister, who will be the servant, who will be responsible for execution, who will be responsible for supervising... These must be big things, at least much more important than the official salary.

But that's not the case at all.

After thousands of years of development, the bureaucratic system has evolved to a very mature stage, with a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, checking and balancing each other, and vigorously supervising.

All these things are there.

It's nothing more than whether it's suitable or not, whether it can perform duties smoothly... These things are very complicated, and it doesn't mean that choosing a capable and worthy minister can solve the problem.

Basically, it is necessary to make adjustments after encountering problems during the implementation process.

In other words, this is a problem that needs to be solved after normal operation.

In contrast, the initial setting of official salary is much more important.

After all, it is hard to say who is virtuous or not, but who is worth how much is clear at a glance!

Still want us to give you up?

That's a dream!

We'd rather take money to do things for the people than feed you bastards!

Also, Li Shanchang, please remember it for us.

You put the most important things last and try to get away with it, that is wishful thinking.

Lao Zhu recalled what Zhang Ximeng told him, and Lao Zhu completely understood.

A person's energy is limited, no matter how hard he tries, there is always something he can't take care of.

If that's the case, then it's better to focus on some important things. As for other government affairs, just leave it to Li Shanchang, and find him to settle accounts if something goes wrong.

This will also facilitate the division of responsibilities, otherwise everything will be on our shoulders, and we will be responsible for any incidents, and it will not be easy to pursue them.

Sure enough, when the King of Wu, the angle of thinking about the problem is different.

Mr. Zhang's point is timely!

Zhu Yuanzhang reflected deeply here, and suddenly felt that he had gained a lot. Zhang Ximeng saw that he had nothing to do with him, so he cut in his hands and wandered off to see Li Shanchang.

Today, I have helped Lao Li a big favor, so I have to get something in return.

Zhang Ximeng entered Li Shanchang's duty room, and found that old Li was holding his head in pain, with cold sweat on his forehead, obviously frightened.

Are you afraid?

what are you thinking?

He even brought things like job fields and job money to the table. It's no wonder that Lao Zhu didn't get angry!

"I said Brother Li, what are you thinking about?"

Li Shanchang looked up at Zhang Ximeng, and he was about to cry.

"Zhang Xiang, the grace of saving my life, I have engraved it in my heart. Naturally, I dare not hide it from you... But if I don't set up these names, the amount of the salary will be, and it will scare the superior."

Zhang Ximeng was suddenly speechless, so there was still such a thing to say!

Also, if Li Shanchang didn't divide the salary and pay them all together, it would be huge and amazing, and Zhu Yuanzhang might be even more angry.

It's just that you, Lao Li, didn't scare Zhu Yuanzhang, but instead tricked yourself.

"Brother Li, the lord is wise and wise, this trick can't be concealed from him. Although I also want to earn more salary, but I also have to spend my life. You should think about it, how to deal with the lord! If the next time the lord Still not satisfied, I can't help much!"

Zhang Ximeng glanced around and found that on Li Shanchang's table, there was a bag of tea leaves, just wrapped in ordinary paper, but Zhang Ximeng could smell a faint fragrance, which, in his judgment, should be of the highest quality.

Li Shanchang is so deceitful, seeing Zhang Ximeng staring at the tea leaves, he quickly said: "Zhang Xiang, I am a layman, and I don't know much about tea, and I can't drink it, so take it, and when I write an article at night, borrow it. With the fragrance of tea, you can create a flower with a wonderful pen, and write a masterpiece!"

Li Shanchang stuffed the tea leaves to Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Ximeng was slightly startled, he could even hear his own heartbeat!

That's right!

We finally got bribed!

Many years ago, in addition to getting a reward from Zhu Yuanzhang, he only took a gold ingot from Lu Qiuyun. This was the first time he officially accepted a bribe. Although there was only one packet of tea, it was of extraordinary significance and extraordinary!

This is his first step towards becoming rich and improving his quality of life.

Don't look too greedy, but it's a good start anyway!

Zhang Ximeng took the tea leaves from Li Shanchang and hurriedly put them away. Then he paused and lowered his voice, "Brother Li, the matter of official salary is not that simple. Counting it up, there is no limit, no amount is too much. But it must not be too low, otherwise it will encourage officials to embezzle money and bend the law. After all, they hold great power and can be suffocated by urine? All in all, it can be different from ordinary people, but it cannot be too outrageous. You have to grasp this degree. , I'll help you speak to the lord later."

When Li Shanchang heard this, he nodded again and again, and he felt like he was crying with joy!

This packet of tea is so worth it!

It's just two jins of West Lake's top-quality Longjing, but Zhang Ximeng's guarantee was exchanged. If he had known this earlier, it would be great to visit Zhang Ximeng in advance, and why would he annoy the superior?

Damn it!

"Thank you for Zhang Xiang's help, I will definitely accompany Zhang Xiang to drink tea when I look back."

Li Shanchang thanked him again and again, and he had to formulate detailed regulations. Zhang Ximeng didn't stop, so he took the initiative to leave and returned to his residence.

There was an unstoppable smile on his face. After returning home, he quickly boiled water and greedy tea, but he had to taste it well.

As a result, the moment Zhang Ximeng opened the paper package, he was stunned.

Why is something wrong?

How come there is still a piece of paper in this paper bag, and there are writings on it. When I unfold it, it turns out to be a **** ticket.

Who would enclose a **** ticket in a tea bag?

The pawned thing turned out to be a box, which was always worth the money.

Tea, **** tickets, boxes...the subway, the elderly, mobile phones...

Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a while. He didn't ask Li Shanchang, but silently took out the consistent treasure money, and then went straight to the pawnshop. He wanted to see, what's the mystery of this box?

Was it simply careless and mistaken, or did someone give Li Shanchang a gift? Or, is Lao Li giving him a gift?

After finally accepting a bribe once, there is still a story, Zhang Ximeng doesn't know whether to cry or laugh...

Not to mention Zhang Ximeng's investigation of the pawnshop, let's talk about Li Shanchang, after a lot of work, he stayed up all night for two nights, and everyone lost a lot of weight and was much haggard. Only then did he get a new salary.

He thought about it carefully, and there was no doubt that the ministers were definitely not satisfied with this thing.

But there is nothing he can do. If you are satisfied, I will die for the superior.

Li Shanchang handed over his plan, and he was going from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rank officials. The annual salary was from a thousand shi to 300 shi, and each step decreased by 100 shi, and all of them were paid 300 yuan of banknotes.

The positive five grades are two hundred and twenty shi, and the banknotes are all one hundred and fifty. It is a hundred and twenty stones of the sixth grade, minus ten stones, and the banknotes are all ninety. From the seventh rank to the sixth rank, the ten stone is decreasing, and the banknotes are all sixty.

The eighth grade is seventy-five stones, minus five stones, and the banknotes are all forty-five. From the ninth rank to the eighth rank, the banknotes are reduced by five stone, and the banknotes are all thirty.

After Li Shanchang's proposal was handed in, before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything, officials from Zhongshu Province, as well as officials from Yingtian, Hangzhou, and other places turned their heads.

What's the meaning?

Prime Minister Li, are you going too far?

With such a small salary, one eagle and one tiger are not enough to eat!

Wasn't it a good idea originally, to refer to the salary of the Song Dynasty, although we have to cut a lot, we all know it in our hearts, but we always have meaning!

We don't ask for the water of the Yellow River, it's rolling in, but we can't take such a thing and fool things!

no!

We are looking for a superior judge!

Li Shanchang has been prime minister for so long, and this is the first time he has encountered collective opposition from his subordinates. With his respect as the prime minister of the left, he can't hold back.

The big guys were full of anger and righteous indignation. They first contacted each other, and then a few ministers came to Li Shanchang.

In the entire Zhongshu Province, except for Jia Lu and Zhu Sheng, the two more aloof political affairs officials, everyone else moved.

Li Shanchang's duty room is like the six factions besieging the Guangming Ding. That's a lot of fun!

Prime Minister Li, who is long-sleeved and good at dancing, finally realized the feeling of being left and right.

This group of things that usually don't speak well, finally tore off their disguise!

"Okay, let's go to see the superior now and let the superior decide!" Li Shanchang had no choice but to hurriedly go to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other officials followed, and he must have an explanation for his own value.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the whole thing with a cold eye. The more violent the reaction of the officials, the more he showed that he had grasped the point. He was happy that he was not deceived, but it was the greed of the officials who was angry.

Even the lowest-ranking officials have an annual salary of 70 shi and 30 treasures.

Enough to eat, drink and spend, but a first-rank official can get a thousand stone years salary, why are you still not satisfied?

Lao Zhu only felt a surge of anger, UU reading www. uukanshu.com went straight to the forehead, and Li Shanchang couldn't bear it anymore. Perhaps a direct conflict between the ruler and the minister was right in front of him.

And at this time, Zhang Ximeng came, "My colleagues... Let me say a few words, based on the situation in Hangzhou, after the land is equalized, each person can get 15 mu of land, but in some places, it is far from enough. To produce two shi, two crops a year is calculated, that is, 60 shi of grain, which also has to be paid for the field tax, and the seed irrigation is also deducted... An ordinary person only has 30 to 40 shi of grain in his hand, and he encounters a famine year. , maybe there are so many. The lowest level officials take twice as much as ordinary people, how many times do you think it is appropriate?"

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking lightly, the officials who were still aggressive just now calmed down in an instant, and the embarrassed Li Shanchang also had a chance to breathe. what!"
