"Haven't delivered it yet?" It was rare for Emperor Yonglong to wait so urgently, and his fingers tapped lightly on the imperial case in the east study.

The two goldfish in the sauce-colored glass bowl next to him shook their bodies leisurely, dangling around, which could attract his attention in the past and let him rest, but today he was not interested.

"Back to Your Majesty, someone has been arranged to pick it up, and the Hanlin Academy said that because the number of printed copies is slightly more, it may be a little later, and it will be sent over as soon as it comes out." The chamberlain said softly.

"Hmm, how many copies did they say they would print this time?" Zhang Shen's facial expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously picked up the copy of "Internal Reference" with the code number 001.

The number is actually in two words, one is naturally zero zero one, and the other is actually 001, which surprised Emperor Yonglong at that time, and did not know what this symbol meant.

Later, after inquiring, I learned that this should be a text from Tianzhu and Tianfang dedicated to counting, and then Emperor Yonglong specially asked the chamberlain to go to the Hanlin Academy to find Feng Ziying to ask about the situation, and brought back a handwritten booklet.

Zhang Shen naturally didn't have much interest in learning arithmetic, and he didn't have that much energy to learn this thing, but the things in the handwritten booklet still made him very interested.

It seemed to him that it would be easier to implement some relatively simple calculations.

As the emperor, he also needs to deal with some numbers, such as population, financial income, disaster relief expenses, water conservancy and road consumption, military spending, and even internal treasury income and expenditure, which need to be compared with previous years, and balance other items, so this counting method seems to be really useful.

"It is said that about a hundred copies may be printed." The chamberlain has obviously made preparations in advance, in case the emperor asks, but he can't answer, maybe there won't be a chance for you next time.

"Oh? Doubled? Emperor Yonglong whispered in surprise.

"But I heard from the Hanlin Academy, it may not expand much, they mean that it will be controlled above the fourth-grade officials in Beijing for the time being, and we will look at it in the next step, but it may also be given to some famous scholars in Beijing." The chamberlain's meticulous and thoughtful answer finally made Emperor Yonglong look at him more, "Well, it's almost." ”

There are naturally a lot of four-grade officials in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, far more than a hundred, but in Beijing, they are almost the same, and some idle positions may not need to read these.

As for the Shilin celebrities mentioned, they generally refer to those Shilin celebrities who have served above the fourth rank but are temporarily in the opposition, such as Guan Yingzhen and Wang Yongguang.

It is said that the first "Internal Reference" caused a sensation among the officials, Xiao Daheng was furious and smashed a lot of things, Shen has always been even more exaggerated, and he actually had a stroke, Yonglong DìDū was a little pitiful to the other party, and he couldn't even withstand this little wind and rain, could it be said that the first assistant of the Great Zhou was fragile to such a point?

I have read those three articles several times, and I want to say that there are definitely new ideas, but I can't talk about how exciting they are.

The only thing that may be a bit exaggerated is the worry about the military situation in the northwest, that is, the chaos on the side of Ningxia Town, but Emperor Yonglong does not care.

The bad situation in Ningxia Town and Gansu Town has not been a year or two, and even the town guard general soldier of Ningxia Town was hand-picked by his father, and it is said that even Feng Tang had to bow to Wang Ziteng in order to seek the town guard of Yulin Town.

The northwest is not a quiet place, but the scenery of the Tatars has long passed, and they can bring trouble to the Great Zhou, but it is not fatal, at least not on the side of the three sides and four towns, but what about the left wing of Mongolia?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yonglong's face turned a little colder, and there were some things he tried not to think about, but he always stuck in his heart.

He is the emperor, why is he still not as good as a martial artist in deciding on many things? Of course, he also knew that behind these martial artists were their fathers.

If it is his father, it is nothing, Zhang Shen can accept it, but if this power and resources are to be handed over to someone other than himself, it will be unacceptable to him, and he hopes that his father will not be confused on this point.

Just as he was pondering, there was the sound of trotting footsteps outside the door, and a sweaty little waiter broke in with something in his hand.

"Your Majesty, it's here."

The close attendant turned the scroll and nodded, "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yonglong took it and looked at it without raising his head.

As soon as he started it, he knew that it was a lot thicker, at least more than half of the previous one.

As soon as he looked at the catalog, Emperor Yonglong was attracted by the title.

In addition to the three columns last time, there are also new columns of "Fengxian Warning" and "Extraterritorial Strange Tan", two columns, and one of these two articles was written anonymously, but Emperor Yonglong knew at a glance that this should be written by the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang He is the most likely, and one is written by Feng Ziying.

These two people are currently the figures that Emperor Yonglong is very concerned about.

Putting aside the first three articles, Emperor Yonglong first read Yang He's "Analysis of the Disadvantages of Salt Affairs in the Two Zhejiang"

What made Emperor Yonglong very interested was that Yang He did not write too many specific facts about the investigation and supervision of the case, but more from the cause and effect of several officials involved in the case and why they were found up and down and how to cover up each other's supervision.

Here are also mixed with some of Yang He's insights and suggestions in the process of handling the case, many of which cannot be written in the official documents and recitals of the imperial court, and even include some private discussions, and also involve the selection of officials in the Ministry of Officials and the salt system of the Ministry of Households, and even include the moral and political education of officials in the Ministry of Rites, which is very interesting.

This article alone took Emperor Yonglong half an hour and read it twice.

This kind of article is completely different from the official document of the chapter to read, it is not as much red tape as the chapter, nor is there a lot of politeness in official affairs, and it is not as arbitrary as the general article, but focuses on this one matter, there is something to say, the content is rich but the organization is clear, and people can find something of interest at once.

In the last paragraph, he even dissected the final psychological monologue of two of the criminal officials, there are not many words, but the words are thrilling, and Emperor Yonglong feels that this article is simply worth reading and feeling the prefects of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With an unfinished mentality, Emperor Yonglong flipped through the last column "Strange Tales of Extraterritoriality", written by Feng Ziying.

Emperor Yonglong knew that this guy was average, but he had something to say, but after reading this article, he really felt what it meant to be superficial in literature and science, but there was something in his words.

The article is very short, and it is described by some of what you have seen and heard, but it can make many people's hearts flutter.

The gold, silver and copper mines on Luzon Island, as well as spices and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty who went out to sea, Emperor Yonglong's heart was a little complicated, and the Franco-Rang people only used hundreds of people to occupy such a place equivalent to Fujian or even Nanzhili, and seized countless wealth, which made Emperor Yonglong even more difficult to accept.

Emperor Yonglong did not have the mentality of his father that he would not occupy any land and not conquer the state, he was facing the attack from the northern Jurchens and Tatars and could not hold on to it due to lack of money and food, if he could have a chance to provide gold, silver, bronze and food, it would not cost too much, of course he was willing to take risks.

Even the things that have offended countless people such as the mine supervisor and the tax supervisor dare to risk the world's condemnation to do it, as long as he can get back the silver to fill the needs of the nine sides in the north, let alone these?

Of course, Emperor Yonglong knew who was behind this article, Feng Ziying was a student, only fifteen years old, how could he know so much about Luzon overseas, even if it was hearsay, naturally someone was working hard here.

But it doesn't matter, Feng Ziying's willingness to write such an article represents a lot in itself, and this is also in line with her appetite, which is enough.

For Emperor Yonglong, he was willing to try anything that could bring silver benefits, and even could bear a certain amount of risk, because he firmly believed that any risk was not greater than the risk of invasion and army rebellion from the Tatars and Jurchens, just as he felt deeply now, the armies of the five towns of Jingying and Xuanda and Jiliao were all under the control of his father, so he could only endure it no matter what.

A Luzon can't represent anything, but Feng Ziying summed up one point in the final conclusion, if you don't dare to find and try new income, then you are destined to be trapped in these existing limited incomes, and it will be difficult for Da Zhou to get rid of this overstretched situation.

Emperor Yonglong felt that he had spoken his heart, without money and food, it would be difficult to support all this, and now it seems that all this has been reached to the extreme in the territory of the Great Zhou, he feels that he dreams every night with silver and grain, and without silver and grain, the army of the Nine Sides and the Tatar Jurchens can roar at any time, no matter which one is difficult for him to accept.

In comparison, the article that should be Xiao Daheng's defense is also of some value, and the advice and warning about the southwest to change the land and return to the river brought more sighs to Emperor Yonglong, why didn't he want to? He didn't know that there were hidden dangers in the southwest, but he had to eat one bite at a time, where could these things be done all at once?

"A Preliminary Study of People's Livelihood" focuses on the problems caused by the heavy taxation of several provinces in Nanzhili, whether Emperor Yonglong read it patiently, or that sentence, these are all problems, he knows them, but there is no way, don't you no longer increase the weight of these provinces in Nanzhili, go to Shaanxi, and increase taxes in the north? Do you really want another larger rebellion or a popular uprising?

Emperor Yonglong sneered, looked at the signature, the top three Jinshi Cai Maode, and the Guanzheng Household Department, they didn't need to look at it to know that it should be Jiangnan Shiren, and their buttocks were not crooked.
