Chapter 221: The First Assistant of Volume B! (The third asks for a monthly pass!)

"Your Majesty, the minister has played." At this moment, some people still dare to speak.

Emperor Yonglong stared at the person who stood up with cold eyes, suppressed his inner anger, and said softly: "Qi Qing, please speak."

"Although the recent embarrassment in the capital city has something to do with the dereliction of duty of the court and local government, it is not the main cause." Qi Yongtai's words seemed so inappropriate at this time, everyone's heart trembled.

Didn't this minister who had just been promoted by Emperor Yonglong really think that he had a strong character and wanted to be a courtier for a while?

Emperor Yonglong narrowed his eyes, stared at Qi Yongtai, and did not speak for a while.

He has known for a long time that Qi Yongtai is different from Zhang Jingqiu. Zhang Jingqiu will raise different opinions, but he may not raise them face to face in the court hall, but may seek some private occasions for advice, while this Qi Yongtai does not Same, very a little bit of the taste of unevenness.

Emperor Yonglong naturally knew that it was a blessing to have such admonishing ministers in the court, which was also a sign of the emperor's clarity, but he still didn't like such ministers in his heart.

Couldn't you, Qi Yongtai, be more tactful like Zhang Jingqiu?Could it be that I can't listen to people so much, do you have to use this gesture to show your attitude?

Anger welled up, but was suppressed by Emperor Yonglong again, he needed to show his magnanimity and tolerance as a superior.

"I'm also very interested in Qi Qing's statement. Come on, I and all the gentlemen are all listening." Emperor Yonglong's cheeks twitched, and he smiled.

Qi Yongtai also knew that the emperor was not a big-hearted person, but sitting in this position had to show his side to his ministers, but he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, since the capital was moved to Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi City has only briefly experienced more than ten years of the dynasty's Yingtian Mansion as the capital, and then re-established the imperial capital. It has been 200 years since then. In the past 200 years, the size and population of Jingshi City have not only increased. Ten times? Even after this dynasty established the capital, the population should have tripled, but the management system of this dynasty for the capital city has continued from the previous Ming Dynasty, basically without much change,..."

Emperor Yonglong's expression gradually eased, and he had to admit that what Qi Yongtai said was reasonable.

When the foundation of this dynasty was laid, it also followed the unification process from south to north in the previous Ming Dynasty. Yingtianfu became the capital of the dynasty for a short time, but Emperor Guangyuan soon realized the disadvantages of Yingtianfu as the capital, and the power of the northern Tatars rose. If the situation in the north cannot be stabilized, it is very likely that it will evolve into an embarrassing situation like that of the former Song Dynasty. That's why Emperor Guangyuan moved his capital to Shuntianfu, which is now the capital city, as soon as he ascended the throne.

At that time, Shuntian Prefecture was only used as the northern capital for more than ten years, and its population dropped rapidly from nearly one million people in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty to only about 30 people. It soared again.

In particular, Emperor Guangyuan and the subsequent Emperor Tianping both migrated a large number of craftsmen, merchants, and military households from the south, and these populations reproduced after staying in the capital.

Coupled with the fact that there has been no major war, the population inside and outside the Jingshi City exceeded one million as early as the 30th year of Yuanxi, and the scale of the Jingshi City has also continued to expand, from only nine squares in the inner city to the current 36 squares in the inner and outer city. It is estimated that there should be around 110 million people.

"I believe that some of the management strategies of the capital city following the previous Ming Dynasty are no longer suitable for the size and population of the current capital city, and some management strategies of the previous Ming Dynasty are not reasonable. Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County, and Daxing County can manage everything theoretically, but in fact they can't control anything. The Xuncheng Censor has the greatest power and responsibility, but it is limited to his own power, responsibility and manpower. They can't control it at all, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry only care about their own affairs, and they can push or push when they encounter others involved. Even Long Jinwei can intervene. How can this make the capital city Antaeus?"

Not to be polite, almost everyone involved was brought in to talk about it, especially the faces of several big bosses from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were not good-looking, but Emperor Yonglong's face became more and more good-looking.

"Even in Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County, and Daxing County, how many households are there in the inner and outer cities? Among them, what kind of each one belongs to has never been really clarified, so how can it be really controlled?"

It's not that this kind of cleaning has never been done, but the expansion of the capital city is too fast, and there is no time to verify it before it encounters changes.

Almost every year of famine and disaster, there will be a large influx of refugees, and in the past 20 years of famine, there will be a wave almost every two or three years, either from the local area of ​​Beizhili, Shandong or Henan, or from Shanxi The number is huge, but it is difficult to exhaust those who are often ordered to return.

Many of them became hidden household registrations. These people either became beggars, thieves, or possessed wealthy families or even changed their names in the army to become hidden slaves. Even these hidden slaves gave birth to children and adopted daughters and became new hidden populations. It can be said that The population of this group is quite large.

According to Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying's discussion, over the past few decades, the number of such people may not be less than [-].

Emperor Yonglong's face finally became clear, "Qi Qing, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Your Majesty, there is no good way for the current ministers. The most urgent thing is to put people's minds at ease. How to do it, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households should have a strategy." Qi Yongtai said coldly: "As for what to do in the future To make the management of the capital city more reasonable and safe, that is something to do later. The most important thing at the moment is to relieve the victims, and the second is to prevent the post-disaster epidemic. We must come up with a strategy as soon as possible and implement personnel. Distribute it, and once the flood subsides, it will be purchased."

Emperor Yonglong heaved a sigh of relief, but felt a little regretful.

He originally thought that Qi Yongtai would take advantage of the situation to put forward some suggestions, including the appointment and dismissal of officials, but Qi Yongtai didn't.

This person is also a loyal minister and can be of great use, but Emperor Yonglong finds it difficult to get close to him in his heart.

"Well, what Qi Qing said is true, but there are other things?"

"Also, after the disaster, the Patrol Battalion, Wucheng Bingmasi, Long Jinwei and Shuntianfu counties must pay close attention to the inside and outside of the city to prevent the spread of rumors, especially the disaster in Beizhili this time. Strictly prevent refugees from entering Beijing, the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect are also spreading in Beizhili, we must prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to revolt."

Emperor Yonglong was also surprised by Qi Yongtai's suggestion. Before he could speak, Xiao Daheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, couldn't help interjecting: "Lord Qi, the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect have always been spread in Shandong. Is it spreading here?"

"Lord Xiao, the White Lotus Sect is capable of changing its face. It is not uncommon to use a pseudonym to win over the people in Beizhili. Baoding Mansion has already discovered it. The Ministry of Criminal Justice might as well investigate it. Don't wait until the incident of the Shandong civil change is in Beizhili. Let's do it again!"

Qi Yongtai didn't have much affection for this old slippery man who was eating and waiting to die, and retorted unceremoniously: "If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can also ask Captain Long, I believe you will get something."

Xiao Daheng didn't care about Qi Yongtai's attitude, this guy had the same attitude towards everyone, and he wouldn't sell anyone's face, but if the White Lotus Sect had penetrated into Beizhili, it would be a big deal.

The victims of this flood disaster are not only the capital city, but also the Shuntian mansions and Baoding mansions outside the capital city. These monsters are used to taking advantage of such natural disasters, either to confuse people's hearts, to attract people to religion, or to instigate Dissatisfaction with the government, if it is said that the local disaster relief and tax reduction is poor, it will lead to a civil uprising.

Seeing that Daheng Xiao didn't dare to say anything, Emperor Yonglong reckoned that this guy must also be unsure in his heart, and he was even more disdainful towards these old officials in his heart, but he could only bear with many things, and he had to take it step by step.

This Qi Yongtai is an excellent cabinet minister, but he is not a suitable candidate for the chief assistant, and he has just served as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and it is impossible to join the cabinet in a short time.

Emperor Yonglong also sighed in his heart. Zhang Jingqiu's qualifications were too low, and he stayed in Nanjing for too long, so that many people in the capital were not familiar with him, and he encountered a lot of resistance to connect with Ren Xiao Daheng's Minister of the Ministry of War.

After all, my foundation is still a little too shallow, and Emperor Yonglong couldn't help gritting his teeth when he thought of this, and he will have to survive these two or three years, so I want to show you my methods.

How Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao choose is also a problem.

From the bottom of his heart, Emperor Yonglong didn't like the two of them very much, they were both important ministers and elders promoted by his father, but he couldn't admit that both of them had some skills.

If Shen always leaves, the chief assistant can only be selected from these two people, but who will be the chief assistant, on the one hand, Emperor Yonglong himself has not made up his mind, on the other hand, he still needs to find out what his father thinks.

After calming down, Emperor Yonglong stopped thinking about it, and cast his eyes on Shen Yiguan, "Shen Qing, what do you mean by Qi Qing's words?"

Shen Yiguan secretly sighed in his heart, he knew that he was no longer trusted by the new emperor, maybe it was just because he was not ready to choose who to replace him from Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, or he was still scruples The feeling of the Supreme Emperor is why he procrastinates like this, but he knows that he should leave after the spring of next year at the latest.

But to Shen Yiguan, it doesn't matter anymore, after serving as the chief assistant for so many years, he hasn't seen anything in the world, even the Supreme Emperor, who wants to compete with himself?

The emperor wanted to choose an obedient shoufu, but he didn't want to think about it, how could he be obedient in everything when he was sitting in the position of shoufu?Then the cabinet ministers and the six ministries below will rebel against him. If the chief assistant cannot represent the scholars, he is not qualified to be the chief assistant!

The courtiers who were obedient before taking the position of chief assistant will no longer be able to bow their heads to your emperor after taking the position of chief assistant. This is the first assistant!

　There will be 500 changes today, brothers, can you use the monthly pass to stimulate Lao Rui?Ask for [-]!
