In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on the eleventh day of the first month, the household department discussed ten things about water regulations: First, in August each year, the nature and discount of accounting should be fixed, that is, the bank has strict restrictions on the collection, and the nature is only November, so that it can be exchanged during the year, and the discount is only December, so it must be paid in lump sum. Second, repair the ship in time and look around for materials and wages. We must be able to work hard and last for a long time. Three, before the arrival of the ship, instructed the water conservancy river management officer to work and eat, dredge the river. Fourth, pay attention to the overall choice. Anyone who pushes for promotion must be interviewed, tested and recruited. All transport officials who have accumulated malpractices, such as helping money, running long distances, poisonous bait, paper, and excessive money, are prohibited. Five, command the ship officer to record the number of each ship, first sent to the branch to test the actual situation, and those who escape, the seal officer shall not take care of them. Six, leather yamen book money, every year, every time the shipment, you should remember Li Yan's deadline, three days, five days, each according to the original monthly grain of one hundred and twenty-six money eight sticks, don't be late, so high. Seven, although the consumption of rice, light Zhai silver still solution Huai. According to the ten-point system, three points are given to the shipping officer to apply with the ship, and the rest are returned. In case of occasional support, we must close Cao Siyi one by one and do nothing. Eight, stop Beijing health service, such as urging storage, ticket sales, lottery, patrol, rice, etc. When shipping to the bay, the foreign minister of Tongzhou warehouse and the headmaster of Datong Bridge will strip the ship naked within a time limit to avoid harassment. Nine, the warehouse to collect food, reported to the sun to receive, recruit lots of department. Officials of the warehouse Committee should abide by the law, be honest and honest, and not delay to create rape. Offenders listen to patrol warehouses and participate in illegal activities. Ten, since this year, all departments must supervise the empty ship back to the south for repair, in order to prepare for the new goods in the coming year, complete the report in August, the situation in the first month, and cross the Huaihe River in March, without losing its true colors, giving priority to meeting the needs and implementing it to the letter.
Ordered Henan and other places to help buy imperial wood.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on the 28th day of the first month, due to the disasters in Shuntian and Yongping, Sejong ordered the purchase of 102,000 pieces of imperial wood at the request of Governor Ma Pei, all of which were sent to a certain province in Henan and Baoding and Zhi Ding in North Zhili.
Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces are required to pay money to help Guizhou collect wood.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on February 9, Guizhou paid tribute to Guan Gaochun and others, claiming that the cost of wood mining in this province was more than 1.382 million silver, which was too big and complicated for a province to handle alone. Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Yunnan and Shaanxi provinces are invited to accommodate and provide silver support. To sum up, the Ministry of Industry believes that salt courses in Guangdong, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Shanxi and other places are difficult to fund because of many disasters. The civil and military officials who still stay in this province should give money, trust, press, company, road and official, take the crime of solving stolen goods as an example, and listen to the trust and act according to the official. Besides, there is no expedient measure to make many plans. Sejong complied with the proposal of the Ministry of Industry.
In quasi-Jiangxi, the price of wood is the discount price of grain.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on February 13th, due to the shortage of timber for large-scale construction in Jiangxi, the governor granted Jiajing sixty-six thousand stones of Nanjing grain to be converted into silver to compensate for the wood price. Each stone is worth 0.82 taels of silver, including 0.52 taels for the army and 0.32 taels of wood. Never again.
The Ministry of Industry proposed to recruit 100,000 people from the Beijing Army to build the Chaomen.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on February 13th, Hou Guhuan of Zhenyuan said: Chaomen was a great worker, but the Beijing camp was short of troops. Please measure the official flags of health centers in Beijing to support their husbands with silver, depending on their salaries, so as to help workers and Soviet troops. According to the Ministry of Industry, every year, when workers are promoted, more officers in charge of the camp get food, and no one reports illness. Being a doorman is very important. The Ministry will discuss 100,000 generals, divide them into four classes, and take turns to serve, and employ 46,000 civil servants to help them. Can be said to be a combination of work and rest, public and private interests. Why do you have to get tired of loyalists and use silver instead of serving? What Gu Huan demands is appeasement, which is not feasible. If there are old and weak people in the army who can't afford to go to work, let them hire their own employees, and some departments don't ask. Sejong discussed from the Ministry of Industry.
The family department discusses financial problems.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on February 20, the minister of the Ministry of Housing bluntly said: It is normal that the world's wealth tax is paid to Taicang every year, and the old system is divided into seven parts, leaving three parts for military affairs and famine. Twenty-eight years ago, Jiajing spent two million and two thousand dollars at the most and seven hundred and two thousand dollars at the least. In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, after the "Change of Gengxu", every year, troops were dispatched, military forces were increased, and salaries were doubled. During the thirty-four and thirty-five years of Jiajing, the propaganda and frontier defense affairs were urgent, and all the expenses such as raising soldiers and providing relief were taken from the internal library, which was extremely undisciplined. In the thirty years of Jiajing, the amount of silver used in Beijing and Biannian reached 5.95 million taels. Jiajing thirty-one years, 5.32 million; In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, it was 5.772 million; Thirty-three years, 4.52 million; In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, it was 4.922 million; Jiajing thirty-five years, 3.862 million; Jiajing thirty-six years, 3.022 million. Taicang's revenue is two million and two thousand, which can't be half of the revenue. Therefore, accepting bribes and increasing topics, including the redemption of stolen goods, the calculation of tax contracts, the reduction of people's strength, and the promotion of cases, have greatly promoted. When something goes wrong in a place, some companies often stay, such as Zhejiang and Zhili, which were attacked by the Japanese, Sichuan and Guizhou, which collect firewood, and Shanxi, Shaanxi, Fu Xuan and Datong, which are short of soldiers, with a revenue of 2 million and a loss of one third. The reward of the imperial palace and the management of Zhai Dian were taken away by the emperor from time to time. At the beginning of the year, Datong Youwei was in an emergency. Since the beginning of spring, he has issued a proclamation with a silver of 202,000 yuan. However, the world's silver shipped to Taicang is only 72,000 taels, and the storage of silver in the treasury is less than102,000 taels. Moreover, there are more and more courtiers, which leads to internal emptiness, the official search has been exhausted, and the folk sects have become extremely good. In order to solve the financial crisis, seven measures were put forward: 1. Introduce the salt accumulated in Jiajing thirty-four years, invite businessmen to buy silver in Taicang, and add three points to the original price of silver. Two, thirty-three years to send salt to attract nano-grass, one stone per meter MINUS one bucket, fifty kilograms of straw bundles MINUS one kilogram and eight ounces. Three, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Nanzhizhou five counties, temporarily borrowed the original grain from Nanjing for three years, changed to half, and sent it to Taicang Treasury. Four, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang provinces and South Zhili Prefecture County from Jiajing thirty-one to thirty-five years in arrears of the original color of the tax grain, changed to fold color, limited to one year to complete the solution of the treasury silver. If you can't complete the violation, you will still be real. Five, around the arrears of money and food, from the thirty-first year of Jiajing, limited to one year later. Six, all salt, salt tax has been issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, shall not engage in a lawsuit or use without authorization. Seven, discuss the stolen money, cases, tax deeds, militia and other silver, due to the huge border defense fees levied, recently because of the construction of the city gate to help work costs. The Ministry of Industry has enough money and food today, and half of it should go to the Ministry of Industry. The party called a spade a spade and presented it. Sejong issued a decree to blame his country for its insufficient efforts and let it reconsider. The next day, the headquarters issued 52,000 silver, 20,000 meters and 10,000 beans in Taicang to support Datong Youwei.
Wu Shilai impeached the Minister of Border Affairs.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on the eighth day of March, according to the suggestion and the history of the Ministry of War, the Criminal Division made a statement to Warrior Lai, the viceroy Yang Shun and the inspector. Remarks: Yang Shun has demanded more than 300,000 yuan of silver since he became the protector of Xuanda. The soldiers and food in the town are becoming more and more empty, the situation is rampant, and the castle is in ruins. Yang obeyed not to serve the purpose of size, lost his body and prestige, and was willing to be insulted by the enemy. Lu Kai, who accepted a bribe of 7,200 yuan, kept this secret. Last winter, Kou entered Yingzhou, killing 70 people, with 3,000 men and women. Moreover, the investigation was carried out as ordered, while Lu Kai shirked the responsibility of the town, patrol, government, road, state and county, pretending that the frontier people he killed were Yang Shun's exploits. Make a promise, echo, and draw nothing. This trio is like farting. Why share your worries for your majesty? Please stop these three people and don't choose loyal ministers to save them. Yang Shun and others are Yan Song's henchmen. This letter was sent to Sejong, who asked Yan Song, and Yan Song was very helpless. Sejong ordered the Royal Guards Academy to capture Yang Shun and Lu Kai and promised to be demoted. He ordered the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Jiangdong, to announce his temporary appointment as governor.
Ruane was arrested for bribing Japan.
Ruan E (1509- 1567), whose name is to be recommended, is from Tongcheng County, South Zhili (now Tongcheng, Anhui). In the twenty-third year of Jiajing (1544), he was a scholar, an official of Nanjing Criminal Department, and an assistant ambassador of Zhejiang Province. When the enemy surrounded Hangzhou, a company refused to let the villagers take refuge in the city. Ruane personally opened the city gate and saved tens of thousands of residents. Later, due to his attachment to Yan Song's cronies Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian, he was promoted to the right capital suggestion and the governor of Zhejiang. In the first month of Jiajing thirty-six years, it was changed to an ad hoc Fujian governor. At first, Ruan E advocated anti-Japanese. Since Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province was besieged by the Japanese army, Ruane was overwhelmed by the strength of the Japanese army and turned to peace. When the enemy invaded Fuzhou, Ruan E used tens of thousands of taels of silver and various kinds of cloth to fight against the enemy and sent the enemy out to sea with six huge ships. At the same time, he was extravagant, corrupt and greedy, and accumulated the wealth of tens of millions of people. So people have suggested that Song impeach Ruane. On March 16th, the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Ruane was arrested in Beijing. Because he bribed Yan Song to intercede in advance, he didn't rehabilitate himself, but only did harm for the people. Ruane paid a higher price for stealing than Hu Zongxian, so he always paid back the money to the court. In the first year of Qin Long (1567), Ruan E died at the age of 59.
Wu Jiahui will go to jail.
Wu Jiahui (15 12- 1588) was born in Xiangyin County, Huguang County (now Xiangyin County, Hunan Province). In the 14th year of Jiajing (1535), he was a scholar and taught pedestrians. Calendar right vice capital suggestion, governor Jizhou town. In the end, Jiajing, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was ordered to keep twelve things on March 11, 37, focusing on how to send troops to rescue the right-back of Datong and how to manage Datong in the future. If you submit, you will be allowed to do so. On March 20, when Yushi took people back to Beijing to visit the town, he embezzled public funds and cut corners when impeaching Governor Jizhen, and the built side wall collapsed with the construction, giving Kou an opportunity. So, I sent a letter to the Royal Guards, asking them to put Wu Jiahui into prison first, and then sent officials to strictly check the amount of money and food, and then punished them after they found it. On the third day of July of the same year, Wu Jiahui was dismissed from office and died in the 16th year of Wanli (1588) at the age of 77.
Liu Tigan asked for layoffs and expenses.
Sejong was troubled by the border emergency and the shortage of funds, and asked the cabinet to record Yan Song. Yan Song said: Today, the state treasury is empty, mainly because the wealth managers are helpless and can't make plans. As long as we cut down the redundant expenses and recover the land, we can immediately get millions of public funds and food, enough for the country to use. Please order the courtiers to discuss financial management. Sejong thinks so. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on March 25th, Wu Peng, a senior official of the official department, and others should make a letter to discuss financial matters. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's resumption of the 29th activity is trivial and non-state-owned, so please recover the old money and increase the amount of money, which is a great difficulty for the people. At that time, only the Ministry of Military Science gave Liu Tigan a hand in opposing the practice of collecting old money and increasing the amount of money. He said: Su Shi once said, "The way to make money is to eliminate pests." The biggest harm today is redundant staff, officials and expenses. Officials of past dynasties, 7,500 in Han Dynasty, 0.8 million in Tang Dynasty and 34,000 in Song Dynasty. Five years after the founding of North Korea (1469), the number of military commanders exceeded 80,000, including more than100000 civilian officers. Today, the frontier defense work is promoted, and organizations are added. The minister is kind, and there are factory guards, supervision bureaus, warriors, craftsmen and so on. , all added, the benefits of that year are not much to say. The more officials there are, the more expenses there will be. Please strictly order all ministries to hire redundant staff and reduce salaries countless times. It is also said that the treasury of Guanglu Temple accumulated to 802,000 from the first year of Jiajing to the fifteenth year. Since the twenty-first year of Jiajing, the supply has been increasing day by day, and I am exhausted. Other yamen, especially trespassing. It should be clearly stipulated that by the end of the year, departments and road officials should check and understand and clean up the excess expenses. Second, redundancy is revolutionary and self-sufficient in the national economy. Chasing old debts, without this, the amount will increase, which is nothing more than stopping boiling. Therefore, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development discussed and invited craftsmen from various supervision bureaus to eliminate them. Sejong agreed.
Show sympathy for businessmen in Shi Jing.
At that time, the national treasury was exhausted, and the two households owed five or six hundred and two thousand silver. As soon as Fangfang's citizens were accused of commercial services, that is, Wanjin's property, all of them were broken. The strong among the people are salty and treacherous, and they are free from the camp. Some people try their best to escape from other counties. Over time, there are fewer and fewer upper-class households, and then middle-class households and lower-middle-class households are once again affected by the depression in urban lanes. Even the output of several thousand dollars is frightening. So Wei Yuanji said that the banker was sleepy, so please make up the unpaid business price for Taicang Silver. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on March 27th, Sejong attached great importance to Wei Yuanji's words and sent a letter of condolence to the businessmen in Shi Jing. However, due to the urgent need for border wages, Taicang silver is often difficult to supply, so although there are letters to save shirts, business is still in trouble.
The samurai came to impeach Yan Song for taking bribes.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on March 28th, the Criminal Division bribed Yan Song to Wu Shilai. He said: Yan Song has been in power for 20 years, and all civil and military officials have been promoted to stay and learn. He also secretly ordered his son Yan Shifan to enter and leave the forbidden area, give lectures, call for demonstrations, order officials to treat generals like slaves, accept bribes, and accumulate wealth and goods. Appointing people by nepotism, acting in their own way, and promoting an official must first report to Yan Shifan, and then play. However, your majesty knows that ministers have made suggestions. I'm afraid it's all Yan Song and his son's private interests! Many honest courtiers resent Yan Song. I believe that the task of eliminating evil is to make every effort. Today, things are depressed because the army is in trouble, the army is in trouble because of the evil officials, and the evil officials are because of the good goods of Yan Song and his son. If we don't find Yan Song and his son soon, things will be hopeless. On the same day, Zhang Xian and Dong Chuance, the chiefs of punishments, also went to Yan Song separately. Zhang Yi said that since Yan Song came to power, the state has given four tenths of the money and grain to border workers and six tenths of the bribes to Yan Song. Yan Song's wealth has already exceeded several hundred thousand, and Yan Song's wealth is clear. Dong Chuance said: Yan Songtian doesn't know how to quit. Every day he is in power, the world will suffer. He has done bad things, selling officials and titles, wasting the country's use, using sinners, harassing mail and harming talents, and must be removed immediately. After Wu Shilai arrived at the company, Yan Song suspected that he was behind the scenes (Wu and Zhang were Xu Jie's proteges and Dong was Xu Jie's son) and secretly played Sejong. Sejong believed his words and immediately sent three people to prison to investigate the mastermind. These three people refused to admit it until they died, saying that they belonged to Mao Gao's religion. It was announced that all people in remote areas were expelled from the army. However, Yan Song invited him to be an official, and Sejong "comforted him and was naturally tired of Yan Song."
The Ministry of War played the role of a post station in all provinces of Cai Chen.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), on the ninth day of April, the Ministry of War ordered the provincial postal delivery: at the beginning of the country, postal delivery was used to publicize the king's orders and report the military situation. Up to now, it has cost ten times to make the law more perfect, not only standing on the red boat, but also adding official boats and civilian boats; Not only have rated horses and donkeys, but also help horses; There are positive responses, negative responses, and threats to seal cards, which are particularly demanding. According to the example of "Hui Dian", the official and civilian ships are destroyed as much as possible and charged into the official. Except for the two pavilions in Beijing, the dry posts of horses and donkeys are reduced by three tenths, and the places that don't need to be washed are reduced by five tenths. Official undertakings must be properly investigated, and job titles, places and the number of husbands and horses must be allocated before handling them. All other customs clearance, customs clearance, borrowing customs clearance, customs clearance reform, extra stalls, feeding, sun drying, etc. are handled by the Ministry of Science and Technology at home, handled by officials outside, and half of the money and food saved by the local government is used to solve it. A letter of approval was granted.
The Ministry of Housing plays the role of money and money.
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1588), on April 11th, the Ministry of Housing invited Zhong Yi from Shi Yu to use both silver and grain: in addition to light grain and silver, all the money left by the palace officials, such as salary discount, money, internal strife and redemption papers, could be used in silver. Its folk trade, many generations of old money and Hongwu, Jiajing system are exercised at the same time, if the rich stop the destruction and melt the money, the law will hell to pay.
Zheng Xiao, please forbid all government agencies to accept written lawsuits.
First of all, Yue Feng, the minister of Nanjing Criminal Department, said: Recently, there were many prisoners in Fuzhou County, because the yamen insulted the people and did not send them to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, which led to a long period of flooding and imprisonment until the prison break in Shangyuan County, Nanjing. Please strictly prohibit you from violating official laws. On the third day of June in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), Zheng Xiao, the minister of punishments, said: According to regulations, all military and civilian lawsuits in Beijing should be appealed to the General Political Department and sent to the Legal Department for interrogation. Any questions from the yamen should be sent to the legal department, and no one is allowed to make their own decisions. Recently, different forces and departments have been criticized and stopped running for election. Some people even use private paper to redeem profits, arbitrarily interrogate, detain and torture, and reverse laws and regulations, resulting in controversy over good deeds, while stubborn traitors prefer fraud. Please declare the provisions of the Code, so that all government agencies can abide by it, so that powers can be unified and corruption will not occur. In fact, Sejong ordered the Beijing military and civilians to file a lawsuit, and the yamen patrolled the city empire, so they had to accept it, and the offenders were punished.
Mei Sen invited Jiangxi to resume eating Huai salt.
First, a province in Jiangxi sent 390,000 yuan of Huai salt. Later, Nan 'an, Ganzhou and Ji 'an provinces switched to Guangdong salt, but Nanchang and other provinces still used 270,000 yuan Huai salt. As a result, private businessmen prevailed. Yuanzhou, Linjiang and Ruizhou ate Guangdong salt privately, while Fuzhou, Jianchang and Guangxin ate Fujian salt privately, resulting in only160,000 yuan of Huai salt, and the country suffered a great deficit. On the seventh day of June in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), Mei Sen, the governor of Jiangxi Province, said that it was extremely harmful. Please build a bridge in Xiajiang County, ban smuggling routes in Guangzhou and Fujian, restore the old amount of Huai salt, and increase it to 470,000, collect its tax, and trade with the whole country at normal prices. A letter can be typed.
Zeng jun Shi e
Zeng Jun, born in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province, is unknown. In the 11th year of Jiajing (1532), he was promoted to Nanjing Ritual Department to give lectures. And Zeng Jun was poor and vulgar. He successively disintegrated counselors Liu Long, Yi Guoxun, Yan Song, the minister of does, and so on. Later, he was the deputy envoy of Yunnan, moved to Sichuan to participate in politics, pacified the Miao people in Guizhou and went to Zuobuzheng, Henan. In the thirty-first year of Jiajing, the right deputy served as an imperial advisor and the river chief, and built the Caowan River to alleviate the floods in Xu and Pi.
