Yu Xin's anger is indescribable, their Yu family in order to transport food to the capital on time, two people died, and they were all his closest relatives. Everyone has this problem, I always feel that I can't die on my head, although the Yu family also died before, but it was a partial house, and there were dead people, and the court also gave a reward, which was quite rich, and Yu Xin also felt good. Therefore, on the Golden Palace, it is a vibrating word.

But now he's stupid, it's his turn, and this taste is not good!

If that's all it takes, some people say that he cheats for personal gain, which is unbearable!

My Yu family has died, and I still eat human blood steamed buns, what about your conscience?

Anyway, it is also a book, after the abolition of the prime minister, the six books are the highest status civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the household department is still the top six departments, at least in the top three, Yu Xin wants to fight with others.

"Yu Shangshu, let's be calm for a while, I have some things I want to talk to Yu Shangshu."

Yu Xin suppressed his anger, "Lord Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it." This time Yu lost, and I will write to Your Majesty. ”

"Not busy."

Liu Chun waved his hand, "Yu Shangshu, the dispute between you and me is for official business, not a personal grudge...... I insisted on changing the law, in fact, the most important part is the household department, I don't know very well, why Yu Shangshu is very opposed. Can you take today's opportunity to talk openly and honestly? ”

Liu Chun turned around and took a piece of small dragon group for Yu Xin.

There are not many such good teas outside, but fortunately, there are too many officials inspected by Jinyiwei, and the inventory is rich enough, so it can be wasted by Liu Chun.

Yu Xin took two sips of tea and barely calmed down.

"Lord Liu, I can see that you have no intention of harming me, so I'll tell you the truth...... Since ancient times, they have paid attention to light and meager endowments, and cherished people's power. This has been particularly important since His Majesty's accession to the throne. The household department is in charge of the country's household registration, land endowment, taxation, salt tax, warehouse, as well as military salaries and salaries...... These are to be drawn from the household...... There are many things to do, and the task is extremely heavy...... You mentioned the issue of commercial tax, how to collect it? In the previous dynasty, the method of tax package was adopted, that is, the tax of a certain area was handed over to the merchants, especially the merchants of the color eye, and let them collect taxes! ”

"These businessmen, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, do everything they can, and the people are complaining and miserable. Now I want to collect taxes, or still let the businessmen do it, or what, I have to be responsible for the household department, but, but the household department is already overwhelmed, you, how can you let me be good? ”

After listening to Yu Xin's words, Liu Chun suddenly smiled.

Yu Xin widened his eyes, "Lord Liu, could it be that the official is wrong?" ”

"That's right, that's right!" Liu Chun chuckled, "Yu Shangshu, do you know how much commercial tax the three towns of Beiping contributed this time?" ”

Yu Xin said in a sullen voice: "More than five million guan, can I not know this?" But Beiping is the help of King Yan to collect taxes, and there is no one available in my household department! ”

"Then increase the number of people!"

"How?" Yu Xin was dumbfounded, "These six have been set up like this since ancient times, there are so many officials, I can't make something out of nothing!" ”

Liu Chun disagreed, "Yu Shangshu, speaking of which, I might as well say a few more words, there are many people who question it, Your Majesty is the master of the foundation, why do you want to change the law?" This change is the result of 2,000 years! What is reformed is the maladministration inherited by previous dynasties, not unique to this dynasty! There are not enough people in the household department, there are not enough officials, and what should be done cannot be done, which is unreasonable, and it must be changed! Yu Shangshu may also say that the burden on the common people should not be too heavy by lightly leviing the meager endowment and streamlining the officials...... But the problem is that the imperial court has too many things to do, such as the matter of requisitioning grain! ”

"It's obviously the responsibility of the imperial court, why should it be handed over to the grain chief? Can the grain chief afford it? I have an idea, that is, you can't lose food because of choking, and you can't lose big because of small things. Yu Shangshu, please think about it, Beiping has collected so many commercial taxes, if it is fully implemented, how much will this tax increase? How many more officials will be added to do this, can they bear it, and if so, why not increase the number of officials? ”

"Ahh

Yu Xin was shocked, "Lord Liu, you mean that you can increase the number of officials?" You, are you sure to convince Your Majesty? ”

Liu Chun chuckled, "Yu Shangshu, there was no Jinyi Wei in the previous dynasty!" Your Majesty is a generation of heroes, dedicated to creating an indestructible foundation, as long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty will humbly accept advice. I think you can prepare how many more people need to be added and where to start in order to fully promote the collection of commercial tax...... You have calculated and understood, I will go back and tell Your Majesty for you, what does Yu Shangshu think? ”

What else can Yu Xin say, he is the secretary of the household department, and he collects commercial taxes, which is to expand the power of the household department, can he still refuse?

"Lord Liu, in the past, I was confused for a while, and I couldn't make a friend like Lord Liu, I, I'm ashamed. I can't thank you enough that Lord Liu can ignore his past suspicions. ”

Yu Xin lowered his voice, "Lord Liu, can you help me again and tell me, who is that little man who chews the root of his tongue?" ”

Liu Chun waved his hand, "Lord Yu, Liu Chun is not a gossip, I just want to ask you now, ...... Is it clean? ”

Yu Xin took a deep breath and looked helpless.

"Lord Liu, maybe Yu has been negligent, but I, Yu, have definitely not been involved in this kind of thing. Just now I was thinking about it, I can tell Lord Liu that the so-called Taicang is nominally under the management of the household department, but in fact it is not under the household department! ”

Yu Xindao: "In the early years of Hongwu, His Majesty set up twenty military storage warehouses in Beijing and sent generals to take charge of them. Later, it was to be returned to the household, but Lord Yanagi may have heard of it...... It's all to blame for Guo Huan's case, Your Majesty is not worried about the household department, and these warehouses are still in charge of the army. Although the household department sends a squire to inspect every year, Lord Liu knows that how we, the literati, manage the proud soldiers and fierce generals in the army is just a false story. ”

"The army is in charge!" Liu Chun took a breath: "Then who is in the governor's twenty military storage warehouses at the moment?" ”

"It's Wang Bi! Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi. ”

"Oh!"

Liu Chun was taken aback, "Is that the famous Double Sword King?" ”

"Well, that's him." Yu Xin smiled bitterly, "Lord Liu, tell me, with Wang Bi's meritorious status, can you put the small household in your eyes?" ”

Liu Chun was shocked at this moment.

Wang Bi is impressed, and he is very impressed.

When Lan Yu led his troops to attack the Northern Yuan, Wang Bi listened to Lan Yu's orders, and he was still Lan Yu's right-hand man. Liu Chun and Wang Bi also have some friendship.

In Liu Chun's memory, Wang Bi is very capable of fighting, and when it comes to bravery, he is no less than Lan Yu. And he is good at making decisions and can grasp the fighter, which is a very rare general.

Not long ago, Lan Yu retreated bravely and went to Fengyang, and Wang Bi still stayed in Beijing.

As far as Liu Chun knows, this person is a tendon. He once received Zhu Biao's favor and was loyal to the prince, but later, when the old Zhu set up his grandson, Wang Bi transferred his heart to Zhu Biao to Zhu Yunwen.

He is a pure soldier, and he doesn't have much contact with Liu Chun, and the two sides can't talk about each other. So Wang Bi didn't know a lot of things, so he recognized that Zhu Yunwen was Zhu Biao's son, and he was loyal to the grandson, that is, loyal to the prince, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Hearing Yu Xin's words, Liu Chun suddenly chuckled in his heart.

If something happens to the warehouse, will Wang Bi be implicated?

Liu Chun couldn't say anything to Yu Xin, he could only send Yu Xin away first, and then invited Miss Lan over.

Lan Xinyue is slightly older than Liu Chun, she is almost twenty years old, and she is an out-and-out old girl. She was bent on Liu Chun, but Liu Chun, who had no conscience, didn't nod her head for a long time.

I really don't know how long I have to delay people?

Lan Xinyue complained to her maids, Mei Jian and Zhu Jian.

"I've thought about it now, what a man is, it's two shoulders and a head, who is not married, turn around and let my father find me a good family, let the surname Liu regret it!"

Mei Jian was still a little unconvinced, "Girl, I can tell you, such a good young talent as Lord Liu, don't say that Da Ming doesn't have it, even if you count hundreds of years forward, there may not be one." He is busy with things, there is always no leisure, wait a little longer, there will be a chance. ”

"No waiting!"

Lan Xinyue said angrily: "Why do you let this girl wait for him?" What kind of thing is he? ”

was cursing in the blue crescent, when someone suddenly ran in, "Girl, Lord Liu, please come over!" ”

"Willow? Liu Lang! ”

Lan Xinyue immediately changed her appearance, quickly grabbed her cloak, and ran outside happily, her face was filled with a happy smile, Zhu Jian looked at Mei Jian with white eyes, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, wait another ten years, our girls can wait!" One of her hearts has long been in Liu Lang. ”

Mei Jian was also relieved, and couldn't help but say: "What a good person, he has more than a girl's heart!"

……

The blue crescent moon rushed over, and when they met, they asked, "Something?" ”

Liu Chun smiled, and also poured tea for Lan Xinyue, it was not a precious product, just ordinary jasmine double smoke, Lan Xinyue liked flower tea, she drank it while staring at Liu Chun, for a long time, Liu Lang didn't look for her, didn't you forget?

"Are you familiar with Wang Bi?

"Who?" Lan Crescent said blankly.

"Marquis Dingyuan, Wang Bi!"

"Cooked, too familiar!" Lan Xinyue said: "He is a few years older than my father, and I still call him Uncle Boli!" He used to tell me that he wanted to teach me how to swordsmanship, but I haven't had time to learn it from him! ”

Liu Chun pondered for a moment, "I seem to have caused trouble for Yuanhou!" ”

Thinking of this, Liu Chun immediately picked up his pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to Lan Xinyue.

"You go and send it to Wang Bi and tell him that the twenty military storage warehouses in the capital must be cautious and not make any mistakes, especially when the new grain is in storage, and you can't be sloppy."

Lan Xinyue frowned, "Uncle Wang is very cautious, he won't make mistakes, right?" ”

Liu Chun said: "I also hope that the Marquis of Dingyuan will not fall into it!" But what happened to him this time was extraordinary! When Lan Xinyue saw Liu Chun spitting and spitting, she knew that things were not going to be easy...... She hurried to see Wang Bi to warn.

As for Liu Chun, he grinned bitterly...... Some people may be born pig teammates, Qi Tai probably wanted to let himself fight with the household, but Yu Xin turned his head and exposed Wang Bi.

You must know that Liu Chun saved Lan Yu's life, and Wang Bi was not implicated by Lan Yu as in history...... This is loyal to the grandson, if he lives, Zhu Laosi's chances of winning will not be great!
