1/46 - Ming Dynasty 1566 大明王朝1566 - Eng Subs 英文字幕 - Super HD 超高清

Let me ask you one last time. Why isn't it snowing this month? The government's expenses are unbearable. The officials are greedy for money. There's no way to make a living. Heaven is angry. Who taught you to say these things to His Majesty? The officials of the Ming Dynasty did their duty. There's no need for others to teach me. Let's hear it. Wan Fang is guilty. Guilty in my palace. From the first day of the new year to the fifteenth, I was alone in Yixi Palace, picking snow. It's not snowing. And it's freezing. Shut up. If it doesn't snow today, you'll be punished. Snow! It's snowing! Stop shouting! Who dares to shout? Heaven is great. It's snowing. I'll go to His Majesty and meet him in private. Get out of the way. You servants, listen to me. Before I tell His Majesty it's snowing, whoever dares to shout again, I'll beat him to death. Yes. Congratulations, ancestors. It's snowing. It's snowing heavily. His Majesty is benevolent. His Majesty should be meditating in his room. I think so. It's almost time for the ceremony. It's time for us to give His Majesty a good news. Yes. Ancestors, I heard that Feng Bao's servants are not allowed to shout. How dare they shout to His Majesty? Is that true? Fine. His Majesty will be happy to have Feng Bao replace us. Let's wait and see. Godfather! Congratulations, Godfather! With this heavy snow, His Majesty will be happy. Godfather's task will be done better. Did His Majesty know about the heavy snow? Godfather, I have reported to His Majesty for you. What did His Majesty say after hearing the good news? I knelt outside the hall and didn't even see His Majesty. I only heard the sound of the bell inside. That means His Majesty already knew about it. I thought His Majesty would be happy and let you see him in the hall. Yes. We should leave now. Godfather! I deserve to die! I just want to report to His Majesty for you as soon as possible. Even if I die, I have no other thoughts, Godfather! Godfather! Let's leave first. Tell them this snow is the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. Let everyone get up and report for prosperity. The louder the better. Yes. Eunuch Lu said this snow is the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. You all get up and report for prosperity. The louder the better. Report! It's snowing! Godfather, it's snowing! It's snowing! After Zhou Yun's death, the heavy snow has finally subsided. But the huge national treasury is empty. Who will save it? At today's pre-trial financial meeting, a life-and-death struggle will continue. Yan Song and Si Li Jian, will welcome their families and kill some officials. Head Secretary, you are here. Congratulations! Head Secretary, after this snow, you are 80 years old. You should be 79 years old this year. Eunuch Lu really thinks I'm old. Snow is good snow. Head Secretary, if it's all about money, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I can report to the Emperor and return to my hometown. Don't do that. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Head Secretary. You have to serve the Emperor for 20 years. If I work for another 20 years, I will be hated. You won't. Officials, everyone knows about Zhou Yunyi's death on the 29th of August. From the 1st to today, the Emperor has been cultivating the snow here. Today, although it's snowing, the Emperor's mood can't get any better. We should try our best to get over Let's think of other ways this year. I'll say it again. It's a big deal. We have to work together. Let's try it. As usual, the Cabinet will report the actual use of the last year's expenses according to each department and the 13 provinces of the two provinces. Today, we have to say which departments should pay and which departments should not pay. The Cabinet has voted. We should pay as much as we can. What do you think, Head Secretary? It's all thanks to the Emperor's kindness and everyone's hard work. The most difficult days are finally over. Last year, the drought in two provinces and floods in three provinces and the war in the South East Airport and the fire in the Palace. To be honest, I don't even know how I got through. The Emperor is filial. We should all do our best. Coincidentally, it didn't snow in La Yue last year. Some people used this slander to slander the North. If it hadn't snowed today, we would all have to resign. From the first day to now, the Emperor has been sitting here alone. The snow was brought down by the Emperor. As long as we, the ministers, work hard to make the Ming Dynasty as good as before, in the past few months, we have finally calculated all the expenses of last year. The Inner Council has also drawn up the votes. The Court of Judicial Review has approved it. Last year's accounts have also been settled. Then we will discuss the expenses for this year. Secretary Xu, the Inner Council's votes are with you. You tell us and hand them over to Eunuch Lü. The Inner Council's votes were given to us by Brother Sifan yesterday. I checked with Secretary Xu last night. We signed some of the votes. Some of the votes we did not dare to sign. What? Which votes did you not sign? We signed the accounts of the Ministry of War. The accounts of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works are too large. We did not dare to sign. The accounts of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works were not signed by your Ministry of Revenue. You were all present when the Inner Council's votes were drawn. But now you are signing without signing. What does your Ministry of Revenue want to do? Try your best, try your best, Princess. The Ministry of Revenue belongs to the Ming Dynasty. Not our Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works is the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty. Not yours. Everything in your Ministry of Revenue will be done by the Ministry of Revenue. Do you actually want to be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue's tasks? We will not discuss this anymore. You are the Minister of Revenue One is the Minister of Finance, and the other is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If I stay in this position, what's wrong with calling you the Ministry of Revenue? Of course, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Industry are not under Yan Shifan's control. But both ministries are funded by the cabinet. You can either do it or not. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Industry personally threaten the imperial court and delay the affairs of the imperial court. You should know what the consequences are. It doesn't matter if you withdraw from office or dismiss from office. Yan Shifan. I saw the votes you sent in yesterday. Secretary Xu and I already have this idea. We can't do this job anymore. Secretary. You see who dares to fit in. Then ask someone else to do it. You. Yan Shifan. Father. There is no father here. Only the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The affairs of the imperial court need to be discussed. Secretary. Tell us if you have any difficulties. I also want to remind you. The affairs of the imperial court are the affairs of the imperial court. Don't always talk about dismissing from office or dismissing from office. Who should do what. Who shouldn't do what. This is in the hands of the emperor. I hope everyone understands. God bless. Ancestors bless. It will be safe. Princess. Take a break and come again. Put down your strength. Put down your strength, Princess. Put down your strength. Prince. The princess gave birth last night. The mother and child will be safe. You don't have to worry too much. Zhou Yunyi's death is my fault. God wants to punish. He should punish me alone. Zhou Yunyi died in a strange way. God will not be unfaithful to the prince. Nor will he be unfaithful to the princess and the child. I'm still worried about Gao Guo and Zhang Juzheng. Last year, there were 13 provinces. The total tax revenue was 45,367,000 taels. At the beginning of last year, the budget was 39,800,000 taels. But yesterday, the accounts reported by the ministries were 53,800,000 taels. Last year, the deficit was 8,433,000 taels. If we compare it with the budget at the beginning of last year, the total tax revenue last year was 14,000,000 taels or more. Let's talk about the 3 million taels of deficit on the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War did not spend this 3 million taels. It was the Ministry of Works that spent it. In other words, the 14 million taels of deficit last year were the deficit of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works did not spend it. Instead, they asked us to draw up the votes from other ministries. Head Secretary, how are we going to sign this? When the Cabinet was drawing up the votes, both you and the Ministry of Finance were present. You saw this ballot at the time. At that time, you had nothing to say. Now, you are pretending to be innocent in front of the Chamber of Deputies. Old Xu, what are you trying to do? If you've seen it, it doesn't mean you've verified it. Last night, when we asked the Ministry of War to verify it, we found that there was a deficit. Taiyue, you tell us about this. Yes. Last year, the Ministry of War's deficit was verified on the 27th of June and submitted to the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, our deficit was completely in line with the budget at the beginning of the year. It was not exceeded. But yesterday, the Ministry of Revenue notified me to verify the votes. It said that the Ministry of War had exceeded 3 million taels. I went to see it. This 3 million taels was recorded on the account of 30 warships of the Ministry of War. And it was clearly recorded that it was for Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to fight the pirates at sea. In fact, the Ministry of War did not see a single warship. Oh, no! Oh, no! Your Highness! Your Highness! Please call the imperial doctor! I'll go, Your Highness. Wait. You take two people and ask them to bring the imperial doctor here. You wait outside the palace. See if Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are all right. Yes. Eunuch Lu, there are indeed 30 warships. The budget is 3 million taels. It was built at the same time as the 2 factories in Zhejiang and Fujian. Originally, these warships were built for the Ministry of War to be used at sea. Later, several palaces in the palace were repaired and wood was transported. 10 ships were dispatched. The remaining 20 ships were borrowed by the Ministry of Justice. Eunuch Lu, the Ministry of Justice should report this matter to the palace. Is that so? Yes, it is. At that time, the Ministry of Justice was in exchange for silver for the transportation of silk, tea, and porcelain to Persia and India. Because the ship was not enough, they borrowed 20 ships. Later, because the pirates were in trouble at sea, these goods were transferred to Jinghang to be transported to the capital. Then, let's make it clear. 10 ships were sent to the palace to repair palaces and wood. 20 ships were sent by the Ministry of Justice to transport goods to the court. Although the account is in the hands of the Ministry of War, the money is still used for the government. Now, several palaces in the palace have been repaired. Lord Yan, you return those 10 ships to the Ministry of War. I will also inform the Ministry of Justice. You can build another ship. Don't use warships. 30 ships have been returned to the Ministry of War. The 3 million taels of silver will be deposited in the account of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Revenue can sign the 3 million taels. Sign it. Which other bills have not been signed by the Ministry of Revenue? One is for the repair of the palaces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. For the repair of Baimao River and Wusong River in Jiangsu, the Ministry of Works reported 2 million taels at the beginning of the year. This time, the account is 3.5 million taels. For the repair of Xin'an River in Zhejiang, the Ministry of Works reported 1 million taels at the beginning of the year. This time, the account is 2 million taels. The deficit is 2.5 million taels. Jiangsu and Zhejiang is heavily taxed by the Court. For the repair of many palaces, the Ministry of Revenue has detailed accounts. Besides, the Ministry of Revenue is overseen by the Palace. If you don't sign it, I'm afraid it's not just for the Ministry of Works. Secretary. Lord Gao. What else hasn't been signed? For the repair of the palaces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Ministry of Works reported 3 million taels at the beginning of the year. This time, the account is 7 million taels. The deficit is 4 million taels. I knew it. Your calculations would lead you to His Majesty. Who told you to say this to His Majesty? I said the Ministry of Works lost 4 million taels. I didn't say we shouldn't repair palaces. If you want to kill someone, just do it. You don't have to do this. Lord Gao. I'm an official of the Ming Dynasty. It's my duty to do my duty. This is a public service. No one has offended you. Not even His Majesty. If the Ministry of Revenue asks a question, the Ministry of Works can answer it. What's the problem? Secretary. The accounts and budgets of Zhao Lijie are inconsistent. The Ministry of Revenue can ask for it. There's no need to be angry. Secretary Xu is right. Lord Yan. Just tell us about the expenses. Chamberlain Lu. What's there to say about what everyone knows? The budget at the beginning of the year was to transport wood to Yungui Mountain. But later we found that there was no road and the mountains were too high. The material could not be transported down the mountain. So we had to transport wood from Nanyang. This year's budget suddenly increased so much. Our Ministry of Works worked day and night. We even turned over several big ships. But we still managed to repair a few palaces before the end of the year. For His Majesty. We can suffer any hardship. But I just don't understand. It's all about the court. Why is it that the more we do, the more we suffer? The more money we spend. Why can't you just let it go? The doctor will fall. He will fall. Zhang Jicheng will be fine. No one will be fine. Take a deep breath. Give His Majesty a grandson. Then everything will be fine. If this is the case, the Ministry of Revenue seems to be short of funds. According to the Liaodong military intelligence, the Ministry of Security will have more funds this year. And the Great Wall in the northeast must be repaired. This alone is more than 2 million taels more than last year's budget. There is also the defense of the southeast coast. Such as Minzhe. Last year, it was all thanks to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. Less than 20,000 troops resisted the pirates on the road. But our merchant ships, our silk tea and porcelain can't leave the sea. With this alone, the annual loss will be more than 10 million taels. To ensure that the goods in the southeast coast are in good order, this year's Minzhe and Guangdong army is a must. And this alone is more than 2 million taels more than last year's budget. If the Ministry of Revenue runs out of funds within a year like last year, this year the government will have to increase the taxes. Before I came here, I heard that some provinces have increased their taxes to 45 years. If this continues, how will the Ministry of Revenue survive? I don't think this is something that Secretary Xu and Lord Gao can handle. Then who do you think should handle it? I didn't say who should handle it. If we don't meet the budget, we'll lose. If we don't meet the budget like last year, we'll lose money and food. I really don't know what else the Ming Dynasty has to eat. According to what you said, last year we built the riverbed for Jiang Zhe. We built the palace for the Emperor. We have built the Ming Dynasty to the brim. I didn't say that. Then what do you mean by that? Do you mean that this year will be like last year? Chamberlain Yu. The treacherous officials have already come forward. Gao Gong is one of them. And Zhang Juzheng. How can a treacherous official be trusted? A woman marries a scoundrel. I, Gao Gong, am still a lowly official. Secretary Xu, just yesterday, you already married the 9th wife. I'm afraid I can't marry this scoundrel. Don't pull the strings. I think it's not just you. There are some people who were behind Zhou Yunyi's slander last year. Zhou Yunyi. An official in charge of the world. Why was he able to slander the court and explain the use of the court so clearly last year? At that time, I was puzzled. Now I finally understand. It was some of us here who told him the details in advance. Who instigated him? What? Do you dare to do it or not? God bless the son and grandson. Congratulations, Your Highness. Go to the palace and report to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor. You are beautiful like a crane. Your face is like a pine tree. Your eyes are like a mirror. I'm here to ask you, Wu Yushuo. Clouds in the sky, water in the bottle. Head Secretary Yan. Yes, Your Majesty. Yan Shifan said that Zhou Yunyi, who slandered the court, had a backer. And the backer is in your cabinet. Tell me, who is Zhou Yunyi's backer? Your Majesty, there is no Zhou Yunyi's backer here. Then why did Zhou Yunyi make it so clear about the use of the court last year? The court has no private accounts. Last year, the north built Baimao River and Wuzong River in Jiangsu. Zhejiang built Xi'an River. Shaanxi, Henan and Dahan were all paid by Shang Yubo. How did he know the cost of building several palaces in the palace? This means that the Ministry of Works has a clear account. Get up, all of you. Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't look at your father like that. You have to study hard. Yes, Your Majesty. What I just recited is the Taoism of Tang Dynasty Li Yao. My favorite is the last sentence. Clouds in the sky, water in the bottle. Some of you are clouds, some are water. You just do things differently. You are all loyal subjects, not treacherous subjects. Your Majesty, the speech of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng and the speech of Zhou Yunyi on the 29th of this month are exactly the same. Exactly the same. There is nothing wrong with it. As soon as I think of the death of Zhou Yunyi, I still feel sorry. He didn't miss her. It's just that his words have disturbed the Court. I told him to stop the war on the 20th. But I didn't expect him to... Lu Fang. Yes, Your Majesty. You should take care of the people in the Eastern Depot. Find out who killed Zhou Yunyi on the 29th of this month. Yes, Your Majesty. I'll do it as soon as I get there. Yan Shifan. Yes, Your Majesty. I just heard from Gao Gong that you married the 9th wife yesterday. Yes, Your Majesty. After I go back, I will send the 7th wife back to my mother's house. Only good men marry the 9th wife. If you send her back, what about the rest? You'd better stay. As long as you spend more time on the Court. Yes, Your Majesty. Do you want to fight or not? Good. Head Secretary. You are the head of the Inner Council. What are your plans? The chief's duty is to save the country. Zhang Juzheng was right. If you want something, you get it. If you don't want it, you lose it. For example, the Ministry of Works. They are building a dam for the Palace. Head Secretary. Why don't you go to Yungui to get wood? Why do you have to go so far away from the sea to get wood from Nanyang? It's because the wood in Yungui Mountain can't be transported. I remember that in the 36th year of Jiajing, the Court agreed to build a road in Yungui. If I had implemented this at that time, I could have saved more than 3 million taels of silver last year. The Ministry of Works is responsible for this. I am responsible for this. This year's expenses should be discussed with the Inner Council. Zhang Juzheng. Yes, Your Majesty. You just said If you want something, you get it. If you don't want it, you lose it. Is that what the head secretary meant? Yes, it is. But what the head secretary said was more thorough. I just heard you talk about how thorough it was. You said that as long as the trade routes on the sea are open, our ships can transport goods to Persia and India. Every year, we can open up more than 10 million taels of silver. In fact, this is not my idea. Since the 3rd year of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty ordered General Zheng He to lead a fleet to go to the west, and to transport goods to Persia. For more than 10 years, the trade routes on the sea were still open. Later, the pirates started to rebel, and the sea was in chaos. The trade routes were blocked. I was also in charge of the Ministry of War. I thought it was time to give more money to the people so that Qi Jiguang and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could take over the army and build warships, and then take the initiative to eliminate the pirates and reopen the trade routes on the sea. Zhang Juzheng and I have discussed this matter. I think that as long as the trade routes on the sea are open, the next step is to transport goods. For example, the silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a batch of superior silk can sell for 6 taels of silver in China. If it is exported to other countries in the West, it can sell for more than 10 taels of silver. Now, there are 10,000 batches of silk in Jiangsu, and 8,000 in Zhejiang. Can we increase the number of batches and produce more silk? Of course we can. The key is silk. How can we increase the number of batches and produce more silk? Your Majesty is wise. In the past, the silk produced in Jiangsu was supplied by Zhejiang. The weather was good. The Inner Council suggested that half of the farmland in Zhejiang should be turned into mulberry fields. In this way, more than 10 million taels of silk This way, we can produce 200,000 batches of silk. If all the farmland is turned into mulberry fields, what will the people of Zhejiang eat? It will be exported from other provinces. In the past year, 7 million tons of grain were exported from other provinces to Zhejiang. If mulberry fields are increased, more grain will be exported. The grain exported from other provinces must be more expensive than our own. Are the mulberry farmers in Zhejiang willing to do this? The silk produced in mulberry fields is more expensive than the grain produced in our own. Add one more thing. If the mulberry fields are changed, the tax on the farmland will still be the same. There will be no tax increase. Your Majesty is wise. In this way, the people of Zhejiang will continue to produce mulberry fields. With silk, Zhejiang and Jiangsu can increase their production by thousands. Good. Good, good, good. It's good to quarrel. Isn't this a good idea? This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Labor. Of course, there is also the Ministry of Revenue. The extra money will be deposited in the account of the Ministry of Revenue. How to do it? The Cabinet will go back and come up with a detailed plan. Then it will be sent to Hu Zongxian. This matter will still be handled by Hu Zongxian. Yes, yes. Lu Fang. I am here. I heard that Zhou Yunyi's family has a lot of children. There is also an old mother who needs to be comforted. Get some money. Send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will go and do it. Master, be careful not to catch a cold. I'm not like you. I'm not so delicate. I'm not.
