From History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 2 14, Biography 120.

Liu Tigan, Zi Ziyuan, is from Dong 'an. Jiajing was a scholar in the twenty-third year. Give it to pedestrians and change it to military affairs. Li Si eunuch Bao Zhong died, and his henchmen Li Qing begged his nephew Bao Wen and other eight people to move. The emperor has promised not to record three more people. Turn left to the middle. The emperor was short of money and called his courtiers to discuss. Please stay longer and increase the amount. "Su Shi said,' The only way to get rich is to get rid of the people who hurt it.' There are two things that are most harmful today, namely, redundancy and expenses. The official system of the past dynasties was 7500 in Han Dynasty, 8000 in Tang Dynasty and 34000 in Song Dynasty. Five years after the establishment of this dynasty, the number of Wu Zhi has exceeded 80,000. Civilians, covering more than 100 thousand. Today, the border affairs have been promoted, and the honor has been passed on to you. With the addition of Cao Bureau, the minister has been gracious and belongs to the factory guards, supervision bureaus, warriors and craftsmen. It's impossible to mention it One more official will cost one more official. Please be strict with Cao, clean up the redundant work, and the salary reduction will be even worse. Wen Guanglu Kujin, Jiajing fifteen years, accumulated 800,000. Since 2 1 year, the supply has been increasing and the surplus has been exhausted. There is no quota for entering the royal family's fruits and vegetables at first, and only the pieces of paper will be supervised and provided to the royal family. If you are not in a mess, you need to turn to the city. Other Cao, especially invasion and theft. It is appropriate to make the code. At the end of the year, I will let it do accounting and clean up the extra expenses. Second, redundancy is both revolutionary and self-sufficient in the national economy. Giving up is to supervise the tax increase, and it is to raise the soup to stop boiling. "So the ministry discussion please eliminate supervision bureau craftsman. From it. Tired of being an official and a political envoy, he became the left assistant minister of punishments. Left assistant minister of the household department, governor warehouse. At the beginning of Qin Long, he went to Nanjing to be an official. Nanji, Huguang and Jiangxi have accumulated more than 2.6 million pieces of silver and cloth, and Fengyang Garden and Mausoleum have 40,000 loyal ministers. There is no storage in January. If the body is dry again, please instruct the department to do it, and six things must be reported.

Mei Sen, notify the North. Take three hundred and two thousand pieces of silver from Taicang. The text says: "Taicang silver is 3.7 million ears, and the annual case of Jiubian is 2.76 million ears. In Jizhou, Datong and other towns, Beijing grain merchants worth more than one million are an exception. If the above donations are recovered, will the funds be guaranteed? " The emperor wouldn't listen. His body was shriveled, and he repeated, "All ministers and workers know that our country is short of plans. Even if the inventory number was searched by the recent empire, there will be nothing wrong next year. < Do your best for useless expenses > What if it becomes hasty, such as national plans? " So, Yang Yikui, Long Guang, Yu Shi, Su Shirun, He Zhigui and Fu Dizhang asked for help, and cabinet ministers also asked for help, but they all stopped at 100,000 yuan. It is also said that the rural tax in Taihe Mountain should set an example like Mount Tai, with a director, not a minister. I want to get half a year's salary.
