If you set up such a yamen and only own these two positions, Zhu Youxiao would not be willing to do so.

Because the Ming Dynasty's problem is very clear, it is not a problem such as land annexation. Perhaps this is also a big problem, but the most important issue in the Ming Dynasty is taxation.

If the imperial court has no money, it cannot do anything.

On the contrary, the people have a large amount of capital, and they will use capital to force the government. This is not a new thing, either in the Ming Dynasty or in the later generations.

Only when the imperial court has money can it do what it wants to do and solve other problems.

So it would be a pity to establish such a yamen without having the function of taxation.

But I have to do it little by little. If I go down to collect taxes now, I will probably cause trouble.

Just like the mining tax brought out by Emperor Wanli back then, it directly led to the fight between Emperor Wanli and his ministers. On the surface, it seemed to be because of this or that, but in fact it was because of money.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to make such a mistake.

If you don’t move, you will be thunderous.

After looking at Chen Hong standing beside him, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "When you go to the cabinet to pass the imperial edict, you will say that there are many discussions inside and outside the court now. Some say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did the right thing, and some say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did the wrong thing. Let the officials discuss it and put more questions. Let the cabinet state that I am good at accepting opinions. As long as what they say makes sense, I will definitely do it. So let them boldly say, don't have any scruples."

Chen Hong quickly said respectfully: "Yes, emperor, I will go now."

When Chen Hong walked out, Zhu Youxiao's face slowly showed a smile.

The words he said just now, or the purpose of his purpose, have, and only one, that is, to gain reputation for himself.

As for what those people want to do or the opinions they put forward, Zhu Youxiao would not accept them at all because they were meaningless.

Even if it has any meaning, Zhu Youxiao would not let them do it.

Although there were many public opinion outside, everything was going on as usual on the Office of the Interior and there was no intention of stopping.

Office of the Interior, the head of the minister on duty room.

Zhang Guoji sat on the chair, his face looked very ugly.

He was in a bad mood these days. He originally thought that he would make great achievements after he arrived at the Office of the Internal Affairs and give in to both public and private affairs.

But who would have thought that after arriving at the Office of the Interior, things were not what he thought. Now there are more and more discussions outside, and his reputation is getting worse and worse.

Especially after the cooperation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the merchants came out, Zhang Guoji's reputation fell sharply. The reason was very simple, that is, it was rumored outside that he did this.

At this time, Zhang Guoji couldn't stand it anymore. Although he was the nominal foreman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did not do the work, and he didn't even participate.

Zhang Guoji didn't know what was going on in the whole matter, but he also knew that what the audit department did was definitely a big deal.

Once this matter is done, how much benefits are there?

Let’s not talk about whether it is corruption. How much does it cost to pay for the filial piety given by those merchants every year?

Of course, it’s not for money. What we are talking about is that I didn’t do this, and I didn’t even participate. Why do I just rely on me for everything?

Zhang Guoji felt wronged.

At this time, a man walked in from outside.

The person who came here had a little thin figure and was in his thirties. Unlike the others here, the others were wearing official uniforms, but this person was wearing a Confucian shirt, which looked more like a teacher than a person who was mingling in the officialdom.

After seeing this person, Zhang Guoji raised his head, forced a smile and said, "Sir, are you here?"

This person who was called Mr. Zhang Guoji by Zhang Guoji was named Qin Bing, and his identity was very simple. He was Zhang Guoji's aide, that is, the one who gave him advice.

Hearing Zhang Guoji greeted him, Qin Bing smiled and bowed and said, "I have met an adult."

"Okay, you don't have to be polite between you and me." Zhang Guoji's displeasure was swept away, and he said with a gentle smile.

This is a way for superiors to show their proxies to be close to each other, and Zhang Guoji feels that he uses it very well.

In such a close situation, your subordinates will definitely do their best to assist you.

This is not his own conjecture, but the truth obtained by combining theory with practice. For example, Qin Bing in front of him is the talented people he respects and respects.

After Qin Bing sat down, Zhang Guoji said: "Sir, what should you do now?"

Without answering Zhang Guoji's words, Qin Bing just smiled and said, "The student just came back from outside and heard some news. I think the adults should be very interested."

After hearing Qin Bing's words, Zhang Guoji's face indeed showed an expression of interest.

This is not because he cooperates with the acting, but because every time Mr. Qin says this, he must be sure of being sure.

Zhang Guoji has experienced this kind of thing several times, so he is very confident.

"Now your Majesty has issued an order, let the court officials discuss whether our Ministry of Internal Affairs should do this." Qin Bing said with a smile: "Students think this is an opportunity."

"How do you say this?" Zhang Guoji said with a frown.

He didn't think this was an opportunity, he just felt that the court now has been paying attention to this matter, and something would happen if he was not careful.

It is not a wise choice to trek in at this time. Whether things are successful or not, this is not a good choice.

"What does this mean by sir?" Zhang Guoji looked at Qin Bing and asked again.

"It's our opportunity," Qin Bing repeated the words just now, but this time he explained, "Now all officials of the court are watching this matter, so the adults need to get things done as soon as possible."

Zhang Guoji said hesitantly: "I didn't do this, why did I do it? Isn't it the credit of Hu Fei if I do it? I think I should make this matter a mess, and Hu Fei will definitely not be able to take it."

"When Hu Fei can't afford to leave, I will take over the matter and get things done at that time, and all the credit and benefits will come."

Qin Bing glanced at Zhang Guoji, and the expression on his face did not change at all, but he felt helpless.

This father-in-law is really stupid. At this time, he is still dreaming of such a beautiful dream.

However, he did not show any impatience, but continued to explain: "If things cannot be done, the palace will definitely be unhappy."

Zhang Guoji nodded.

He also knew this, because Hu Fei was brought from the palace, so this matter is probably what the palace means. If it is really messed up, then Hu Fei will definitely be in trouble.

So Zhang Guoji said excitedly: "It is precisely because of this that we have to push Hu Fei out and make things bad."

Qin Bing couldn't help but said, "Sir, things are far from that simple. This matter was proposed by our Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone is talking about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if the Lord pushes Hu Fei, what can it do? Those people will still chase the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pursue it relentlessly."

"What they want is not a person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hu Fei can't do this now. When the adults do it, they will use the same reason to make the adults unable to do it. How can the adults explain to His Majesty at that time?"

"So if this matter is ruined, that is the worst. We cannot do this no matter what. Not only can the adults not put in the wrong, but they also need to help them in time and get this done so that His Majesty can be happy."

"The student also heard about one thing, that is, His Majesty sent an order to the cabinet, and asked the ministers to discuss the matter to see if it could continue. This is the opportunity for the adults. The adults can go to Hu Fei and ask him to give up the dominance of the matter; otherwise, the adults would not support him."

"As long as Hu Fei is willing to give up his dominance, the lord can go to the palace to find the empress. At that time, the whole thing will be the lord's credit, and the lord will hold all of this in his hand."

"In this way, the reputation of the Lord in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will inevitably rise instantly. He not only proved his ability to do things to the emperor, but also conquered Hu Fei and asked him to follow the Lord, and also held the auditing department in his own hands. This is a good thing that can be achieved by one shot."

"That's why I said this is a good opportunity. As long as the adults seize it, everything will be easy. From now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be the adults. Why not get rid of the current situation?"

Listening to Qin Bing's words, Zhang Guoji's eyes became brighter and brighter. After a while, he nodded slowly and said, "What the sir said makes sense and his plan is very comprehensive. That's true."

Hearing Zhang Guoji say this, Qin Ling's face did not show a smug expression, but still looked calm and gentle.

"But I have another question." Zhang Guoji said again: "If this is the case, then those opposing ministers will not be optimistic about me? Isn't my reputation worse?"

"Sir, this officialdom has always been intrigue. Today he supports you, tomorrow you support him. What does it matter if those people don't support him? As long as His Majesty supports him."

"Besides, people outside nowadays not only oppose it, but some people agree. For example, Xu Guangqi, the cabinet, Xu Pavilion Master, is very much, so some people support the adults."

"It is impossible for both sides to be unofficial when they are both parties. Because they are unofficial to fences, fences will never end well. Adults are familiar with all kinds of allusions, so they should understand this truth, right?"

Zhang Guoji pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Sir, it makes sense. Since that's the case, I will go to Hu Fei immediately to ask him to agree."

When he said this, Zhang Guoji hesitated again and asked with a dark face: "What should he do if he doesn't agree?"

"Sir, please rest assured. Hu Fei dare not refuse to agree." Qin Bing said with a smile: "Since he entered the Interior Office, Hu Fei has been very high-profile and has offended many people. Think about it, how many merchants he caught last time? If you go out from here, what good end do you think he will have?"

"He dares not take such a risk. He just listens to the adults. What's there to refuse? Besides, the adults are the foreman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is your subordinate. Isn't it natural for him to listen to you? This does not damage his face, so he will definitely agree."

"But the court hasn't said that this matter is not OK yet?" Zhang Guoji asked again.

"Sir, no one can afford to delay this matter now, but Hu Fei can't. He has already discussed with the merchants outside, but if the court has refused to repent, how can he explain to those merchants?"

"Those businessmen dare not agree to him at this time. As long as the situation is unstable, the businessmen will not agree, otherwise they may lose both their lives and their wealth. The ones who don't want to argue about things the most are no one except Hu Fei."

"Now that the adults have given him such a chance, this is his last life-saving straw. He will definitely agree, so he can go there with confidence."
