Chapter 51 Northwest Tea Horse

As for the second question, this is the system issue.

Obviously, the policies of the early days of the country were no longer suitable for modern times, and Zhou Chen's comprehensive reform of the silver-saving reform had a counterproductive effect on this matter.

Therefore, this system must be reformed. Zhu Qizhen didn't care about how to change it. After all, if Liu Dingzhi dared to propose it, he would definitely have a draft.

Zhu Qizhen only needs to listen to what Liu Dingzhi said, and discussing with the ministers in the court will naturally lead to a result.

Zhu Qizhen has always known that in terms of guiding ideology, Zhu Qizhen's ideas may have an advanced side, but if these ideas are summarized into specific charters, the ten Zhu Qizhens are not as good as those of the cabinet bureaucrats.

Zhu Qizhen’s biggest concern is the third problem, that is, smuggling.

First of all, Zhu Qizhen was worried about the ban on smuggling. Smuggling has not been banned for so many years, and obviously a group has been formed at the border. Zhu Qizhen was very worried that the local defenders were involved.

This worry is not redundant at all, just like the situation of smuggling on the Nine Territory. Even if Zhu Qizhen severely investigated and dealt with, some people still took risks, and most of them were garrisons in various places.

Secondly, it is that it can form such a large scale. If they don’t have one or two aid aids in the court, Zhu Qizhen wouldn’t believe it very much, but who is this aids?

Is it military or civilian?

If you can't find this thread, it will be difficult for Zhu Qizhen to deal with it.

Zhu Qizhen didn't really want to divide this backstage with a penalty. After all, the love affair over the years is not a mistake between one person and two, but passed down from generation to generation.

Zhu Qizhen's main purpose is to correct mistakes, not to kill people. Of course, if the power of the behind-the-scenes aid is insufficient to reach a balance with Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen would not mind killing people and raiding the house.

It was just that Zhu Qizhen was in the capital, so he found this person, either incorporated or killed. However, the matter in Yanbian, Shaanxi was not something that Zhu Qizhen could do. He had to be a minister who was respected, tough and could get Zhu Qizhen's trust.

Who should this person be?

Zhu Qizhen silently considered his entrainment in his mind. Unlike when he first ascended the throne, there were enough people in Zhu Qizhen's entrainment at this moment.

There were countless thoughts flashing through Zhu Qizhen's mind, and he stood up and walked, saying, "If this happens, the Tea and Horses will probably be useless. This method is about to change. Do you have any ideas?"

Liu Dingzhi said: "It is Zhou Wenzhong's legacy to do government affairs. I think that since the official tea in Sichuan and Shaanxi has been paid, it is better to put tea households and return to the people. I have seen the pain of stove tops in Fujian and the suffering of craftsmen in the capital. I think that one can relieve the amount of one point."

Zhu Qizhen sighed softly and said, "I know. You just want to use the Southeast method of Sichuan and Shaanxi official tea?"

Although Emperor Taizu was good for the people in the Ming Dynasty, he wanted the people to inherit their father's business from generation to generation and present a stable small peasant economic system.

But the problem is impossible.

The stove, craftsmen, mines, tea houses, other household registration restrictions, and even the untouchables were really a major drawback in the Ming system.

However, due to the reputation of Emperor Taizu, Zhu Qizhen did not dare to say anything publicly, but just quietly released all these messy household registrations for the private households every day.

Zhu Qizhen hopes that one day the people of the Ming Dynasty can be better than the household registration. There is only the difference between military households and civilian households, and there will be no other differences.

After all, the ward system is in the frontier and still has positive significance. It is impossible to completely abolish it.

Liu Dingzhi said: "Businessmen pursue profits, just like water drops. The tea-horse trade is really a source of profit. I want to use the customs system to switch between the northwest, and no matter what the people can come, as long as they pay taxes, the court can also use the tariffs to directly purchase horses and transfer them to the capital for use by the court."

"There are only two problems, and I still have doubts."

"The Tea Horse Censor's grade is too low, which is not enough to shock the little ones. I think it should be like the salt law, and I send the Tea Horse Censor to supervise the governments and do not have an affair with foreign people. But I am in the capital, and I cannot control the situation thousands of miles away. This Tea Censor cannot use it if he is not a smart and capable person."

"Secondly, I am worried about the situation of the Western Paradise. Now the gold medal is no longer enough. The departments may not be in a wait-and-see manner about our Ming Dynasty, and they are related to Wass. The consequences of this are difficult for me to understand for a while."

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while and said, "The Tea and Horse Censors naturally have to consider the candidates carefully. But the second worry is not necessary. If Xifan and Watts are connected, and now our court opens the market, what is the best way for them?"

Liu Dingzhi's eyes lit up and he said, "What does Your Majesty mean? Instead, they will be neutral between Wats and the court and transport supplies."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Not bad."

Liu Dingzhi said: "If this is the case, wouldn't the imperial court's intention to block the tile thorns be vain?"

Zhu Qizhen sighed and reflected: "From the current situation, I am too naive. Trade with Watanabe, both pros and cons. I will never allow trade with Watanabe on the nine borders, but if I am in Xining, Watanabe will be transferred to thousands of miles, I have no objection."

Zhu Qizhen would not agree to make a hole in any of the nine sides.

After all, he may have been accustomed to selling weapons produced by his country to the other party while fighting to kill him. Therefore, if he cannot sell weapons to the enemy of his motherland, he is not a good arms dealer.

But it is difficult to explain to the soldiers below.

It is a matter of causing the Ming soldiers to die at the hands of the weapons made by the Ming Dynasty to hurt morale and the morale of the army.

But Zhu Qizhen had to admit that the Ming Dynasty needed the war horses of the thorns.

This is exempted from trade in Xining. After all, this is not sold to Watsai. Secondly, it is necessary to extend the Watsai logistics line. Even if the Watsai buys the court's supplies, it will first transport it to Hami, bypass Gansu, and then transport it to the north of Mobei.

Such a long road limits the number of thorn transactions.

Moreover, the trading items here are mainly tea, horse, salt and grain, and not even iron. All the Ming Dynasty needs is war horses. If these things are used, they can be exchanged for war horses.

It's simply better or worse.

When you hit it, it is still necessary to leave a breathable hole.

Liu Dingzhi said: "Your Majesty is not better than the wise."

Zhu Qizhen didn't know whether Liu Dingzhi really didn't understand these paths or was flattering. Or he was not easy to persuade these things, so he could only beat Zhu Qizhen around the bush to understand them.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care much about this. He said: "After you go down, you should carefully consider this matter, discuss it within the cabinet, and then submit it to me."

Liu Dingzhi said: "I understand."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Remember, Chen Xun is the chief assistant after all."

Liu Dingzhi felt a little sweat on his forehead and said, "I understand, I understand."

Although Chen Xun was the chief minister of the cabinet, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty was not the prime minister after all. Many times, their control of power was based on prestige, not political status.

The Secretary of the Six Ministry of the Ming Dynasty, Minister of the Cabinet, Minister of the Governor of the Five Army, Governors of the Provinces, Governors, Censorate, Local General Officer, and Even Eunuchs in the Governors of the Governors of the Crowns.

The memorials of these people usually go directly to Zhu Qizhen without going through the cabinet. After Zhu Qizhen reads them, he then goes to the cabinet.

Especially the cabinet ministers have the power to report secretly and can go directly to Zhu Qizhen without going through the Secretariat.

Therefore, if some cabinet ministers have close relationships with the emperor, they can bypass the chief minister. They can put the chief minister into a trash basket. However, it is OK.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know if Liu Dingzhi had this idea, but he wanted to remind Liu Dingzhi.

The reason is very simple. There was a normal order above the Ming Dynasty court, which itself was the authority of Zhu Qizhen.

If Chen Xunzhen is not competent, Zhu Qizhen would not stay with Chen Xun for long, but before that, the cabinet chief should have the authority of the cabinet chief chief.

This is given by the Ming system established by Zhu Qizhen.

But Chen Xun's ability to get involved has already shown that he is not capable enough. It is just that changing faces is a big deal, and Zhu Qizhen is unwilling to change it easily, especially during the war.

Zhu Qizhen said, "It's good to understand." Then Zhu Qizhen asked Liu Dingzhi to leave.

At this moment, he was silently thinking about someone in his heart, not someone else. It was Yu Qian, the governor of the River.
