Farewell to Nada Kagami.

Where did Lang Zhong Xia Bing dare to slacken.

Holding the book in his hand, what is this, 820,000 taels of silver.

is a county.

How much can be done with the arrears of the Ministry of War, the money and grain of the Ministry of Industry, the river embankment, and disaster relief?

He did not slack off, and hurried to enter the palace.

This matter must be reported as soon as possible.

He was excited.

It's already mushy in my head.

What a political achievement.

This Ouyang Zhi is really a little villain, how can he do things so beautifully?

…………

Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Hongzhi stretched his face, bowed his head, pretending that the old god was there, he spread out the paper, the imperial pen in his hand, dipped in ink, and then, his arm moved slightly, and the pen walked the dragon snake.

And under Jin Luan, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, was almost wailing: "The soldiers have been in arrears for three months, and if they continue to owe, the ministers are afraid that they will be in trouble, and the household department will not be able to take out money and food...... The Emperor ......"

Emperor Hongji turned a deaf ear to this.

Continue to practice his book of conduct.

Recently, the book has made considerable progress.

He writes freely and vividly.

Zhang Shengdao: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, the Ministry of Rites has suffered great losses from sacrificing heaven and earth, ancestors and ancestors, and the old minister begs to remove some sacrifices......"

"Your Majesty, old minister...... The old minister will say something fair, there is a difficulty now...... Wang Ao came out and coughed: "This country is the world...... Hmmm......"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't hear these words clearly, and he had entered the realm of selflessness.

Is 200,000 taels of silver enough?

may be given, and Emperor Hongzhi will be relieved.

But what about next time?

The treasury is empty, and it is not a matter of one year, two or three years.

Over the years, I have cut back on food and clothing, but have I ever embezzled money and food from the national treasury?

No!

touched his conscience and said that this palace was all built by Fang Jifan's child, and he didn't use the court at all.

Now it's okay, you don't have any money, look for me, I usually buckle the buckle and rope, and now I have saved it...... Four thousand one hundred and twenty-six thousand two thousand two hundred and twenty-one taels of silver, you will make up your mind, once the norm is formed in the future, then the internal money, will not become your thatched house, you can come if you want, you can leave if you want, then okay, I will not be the son of heaven, you go and move.

This kind of thing, as long as you breathe a sigh of relief, you will lose everything.

Emperor Hongzhi simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Your Majesty......" Xie Qian howled, "Your Majesty should be as good as a stream...... Now that silver is needed everywhere, and the treasury is insufficient, do you want the military horses in the border towns to drink the northwest wind? The people ......"

This sound, Your Majesty, almost didn't break Emperor Hongji's eardrums.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and stared at Zhongqing.

Which of these people is not my humerus, hey...... Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and then, he finally responded: "Dingxing County is not changing the tax system, following Dingxing County, it can make up for the lack of the treasury, if the new law is implemented everywhere in the world, I am thinking, the annual income of ten million taels of silver a year should not be a problem." ”

Ten million taels......

Dingxing County ......

"Your Majesty." Li Dongyang was cautious: "Your Majesty knows that the new policy implemented in Dingxing County vigorously advocates industry and commerce, Your Majesty, the minister said unceremoniously that this revitalization of industry and commerce is to hurt the peasants, hurt the peasants, this is to shake the country's foundation, Your Majesty should be cautious about this." ”

This made sense, and everyone nodded.

Everyone has gone to work, who will farm the land? What is the use of having more silver when there is not enough food? In this world, there are thousands of mouths, and if they have no food, they will be hungry and rebel.

"Yes, Your Majesty, look at how much land the industry and commerce have encroached upon, and how much manpower has been absorbed." Zhang Sheng was also worried.

They're here for money.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows.

Almost, a little shaken.

But immediately, he still had a stiff face: "I have made up my mind, Zhu Qing...... Internal affairs are my family affairs, and I don't need to worry about them. Okay, I'm tired, and Zhu Qing retreats. ”

Liu Jian and the others sank to the bottom.

Your Majesty has been influenced by some people recently, and has deviated more and more from the appearance of the Holy Monarch in everyone's imagination.

Some people sighed in their hearts and thought to themselves, it is always Dingxing County, Dingxing County...... What is the use of just one county?

But His Majesty's attitude was resolute, and Liu Jian didn't want His Majesty to be embarrassed, so he had to say: "Then, the ministers will retire." ”

In everyone's hearts, they retreated anxiously.

Out of the Fengtian Palace, everyone looked at Liu Jian.

"Liu Gong, now, what should I do?"

Liu Jian stroked his beard, looked into the distance, and shook his head: "Didn't Your Majesty open and close your mouth to Dingxing County, then wait for the money and grain books of Dingxing County to come, and then go to see the driver." ”

Everyone sighed: "It's just like this." ”

But at this time, I saw a person who hurriedly met him.

Person...... Some of them are raw.

But Li Dongyang recognized it.

Seeing that the man was panting, Li Dongyang stepped forward quickly: "Xia Langzhong, how did you enter the palace?" ”

"Something important, there is something important to see Gong Li, and seeing that Gong Li is not in the cabinet, so I dare to ...... Dare ...... "Xia Bing is out of breath."

Li Dongyang frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Dingxing County...... Dingxing County's money and grain books are here......"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Not to mention Cao Cao Cao arrived, just for the books of a county, he came in a hurry, is this a bit too much?

Xia Bing had already handed over the book.

Li Dongyang hurriedly took it and opened it to take a look.

Liu Jian said on the side: "Read it out." ”

"Yes, read it out, I'll wait to see what's so strange about this Dingxing County." Ma Wensheng agreed.

Li Dongyang said: "The population of the Yellow Book has increased by 78,000 households per year, and the number of people is 239,000......."

Liu Jian's face changed.

Population growth has always been a good thing.

Li Dongyang's face became more and more solemn: "The annual grain output has increased by three percent......"

"This ...... Really? Ma Wensheng was a little unconvinced: "It needs to be verified." ”

Everyone nodded secretly, this increase in grain production...... It is also good governance.

Li Dongyang read again and again.

Horses increased.

The cattle have more than doubled the ferocity.

Because the price of grain has risen, not only is the local supply in short supply, but also can supply the needs of the Beijing Division, but manpower is too expensive, in the past, many gentry were unwilling to raise cattle, not because they couldn't afford to raise them, but compared to cheap manpower, why do they need cattle to plow the fields? It's cheap.

However, because of a large amount of manpower, it attracted to the workshop, and the price of grain rose again, so the cultivation of cattle began to be popularized in large quantities.

At this moment, many people began to whisper: "It seems that Dingxing County is doing a good job." ”

"It is worthy of Ouyang Zhi, this person is a talented person."

But when he got here, Li Dongyang didn't read it anymore, his eyes were staring at the book, motionless.

"Read, read." Someone urged: "Why, the so-called people have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, think about it, there are good places, there must be bad places, is it this year's tax silver, also in deficit?" I heard that they Dingxing County in order to build roads, owed a debt to Xishan Qianzhuang, it was still too reckless at the beginning, that Fang Jifan eats people and does not spit out bones, and the loan with interest is more ruthless than the mortgage, when it comes to this mortgage, the old man hates that, this dog-like thing, why is it so lacking in morality, and he wants to make this move? ”

"Yes, yes, without a mortgage, none of his houses can be sold, who has so much cash in his hands." When Ma Wensheng heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and hated it.

These words resonated with many people, thinking that he was a dignified man, and he still owed a mortgage, and he had to give the silver every month to the building, which ......

Liu Jian pressed his hand: "Okay, the princes are angry, listen to the guests first." ”

Li Dongyang just said: "The annual income is 1.37 million taels of silver, and the treasury is 820,000!" ”

“……”

All of a sudden, the people who gritted their teeth suddenly quieted down.

Their expressions were surprisingly weird.

"How much?"

"One million three hundred and seventy thousand!"

"One million three hundred and seventy thousand gold?"

"Silver!"

When I heard that it was silver, I was even more confused.

If it's gold, it's fine, after all, it's copper.

But if it's silver......

So, many people pinched their fingers and began to calculate.

They, after all, are not very sensitive to numbers.

This is the disadvantage of not having a systematic arithmetic foundation.

Ma Wensheng took the lead and said: "Ah...... 820,000 taels, in this way, the deficit in these two years can be made up, even if it is this year, there may be a surplus, the sky ...... The old man read the book, and the tea tax of the imperial court for a year was only more than 3,200 taels. If it weren't for the official salt, the treasury would have been out of spending. ”

Li Dongyang looked deeply at the recorded number, his face was solemn, and he looked at Xia Bing: "Xia Langzhong, there will be no mistake in the number." ”

"You can't be wrong." Xia Bing said cautiously: "Xiaguan, I asked how many times I sent the books, he said it clearly, clearly, the tax silver is already on the way to be escorted, it is not far from Taiping, it can be delivered in three or five days, and these silvers, mostly silver tickets, can be exchanged for money and grain in Xishan in full at any time, and when they are transported, there will be no loss, but it is just the entanglement of dozens of sergeants." ”

"Dozens of sergeants transported? This is our lifeline, only these dozens of sergeants? Marven stomped his feet angrily, his eyes were red, and he, the secretary of the military department, couldn't wait to immediately transfer a battalion of men and horses to escort him.

Xia Bing smiled bitterly: "But...... They are just one county, one county, how many people can be deployed. ”

Just one county.

A word that woke up the people in their dreams, and the figures just reported, whether it was the increase in population, or grain production, or taxes and silver, all gave people the illusion that this was a political envoy and a province!

The question is, is this really a county?

Everyone was sleepwalking, confused.

Liu Jian immediately decided: "Take the old man in the book and take a look." ”

Seeing is believing.

After taking the book, Liu Jian looked at it intently, for fear that there would be a little mistake or omission here.

And everyone stared at Liu Jian.

After a long time, Liu Jian put down the book, raised his head, looked around, and said: "Outstanding political achievements, outstanding political achievements!" ”
