Imperial Palace

,, Your Majesty, last year's customs year has been counted and verified, totaling 3.7 million taels:" Chen Qing thought about the excerpt.

Wang Hongyi heard this and smiled: "Yes, with this money, you can basically add a hole, what about the field tax?"

,, because the emperor lightly levied a thin tax, now it is 1.2 million. ”

The field tax is only 1.2 million, if the field tax is collected alone, Feng Junzi is afraid that it will not even be enough to maintain military expenses, Yao Tong was stunned when he heard it, at this moment, Wang Hongyi turned his face to look at him, and asked: "What about the case of the monks' rebellion? How is it handled now?、,

,, Your Majesty, the thirteen divisions have come up, a total of 9,651 people have been punished, all of them on the list have been arrested, and some sporadic ones are being investigated. Yao Tong came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed back:

,,Almost, pass the decree, the case will be stopped, don't be further implicated. Wang Hongyi said.

Yao Tong hurriedly responded: "Yes!"

Wang Hongyi asked again: "How about the copper mine and the money?"

,, The emperor, Hongwu copper dollars and Hongwu silver dollars, have been flooded, first as officials and military and issued, so many have flowed into the people, the response is very good, whether it is money dollars or silver dollars, are in good condition. Zhao Yuanjing hurriedly bowed back.

,, The condition is good, there must be a private casting of copper, how is the situation?,,

In March, because of this matter, there were already 300 people, according to the emperor's will, all of them were dealt with on the spot, and the ministers wanted to be sporadic or have, but the scale was gone. ”

These three people are all cyan talents, Wang Hongyi smiled when he heard it, and said: "The scale is still there, but as long as the mine is improved and the cost of production is low, it will be cost-effective." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "Has Fusang traded with us?"

Suddenly, the three of them looked at each other, Yao Tong quickly thought for a while, and said, "There is indeed trade with Fusang, but the amount is not large. ”

Wang Hongyi said with a little interest: "What about Fusang?"

,,Your Majesty,This minister is not very clear.,But according to records,Now the king of Fusang has been hollowed out by his subordinates.,The general of Zhengyi controls the whole country.,But it is said that the generals have been hollowed out again.。 Yao Tong thought about it carefully, and only then did he get this:

Wang Hongyi didn't think it was strange, but he was thoughtful in his heart

It is normal that the king of Japan was overthrown by the shogunate, and the shogunate was overthrown by the daimyo, and the daimyo was overthrown by the samurai, which is normal, and it is not clear what era it is.

If the Daimyo division has already surfaced, it will be more advantageous.

Wang Hongyi did not mean to send troops to occupy it, at least for a short time, what he needed was trade, gold, silver and copper:

The Central Plains continent has always lacked gold, silver and copper, but Japan is different, there has always been a large amount of gold, silver and copper, and it is no wonder that it is not sucked dry through trade.

However, this matter is not in a hurry, Wang Hongyi casually ordered: "Order Yousi to send someone to touch the situation of this Fusang country, and come back to tell Yu I." ”

,, you are all meritorious, and I can't help but reward you. Wang Hongyi said in a calm tone: "Chen Qing, Yao Tong,,

,,Minister!"Both of them,,,,,,

,,You are all promoted to the seventh grade Xuande Lang, tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Officials, let the Ministry of Officials fill the vacancy for you as a county order, you are all talented people, but you can't go through local governance and assessment, you went to the county to study and do good things, I have expectations for you,

As soon as the two of them heard this, they left the center of the Secret Pavilion, which made both of them very disappointed, but they had to bow down: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Seeing that the two bowed down, Wang Hongyi said again: "Zhao Yuanjing, I will let you be the eight-grade undertaker, so let's do a good job here,,

Zhao Yuanjing was surprised and delighted, bowed and said, "Emperor Xie is on,

After settling his mind, Zhao Yuan said with a solemn statement: "Your Majesty, this time the show girl has been selected, the Queen Mother has sent a message, if the emperor is fine, please return to the palace." ”

In March, the cold is gone, the spring flowers are blooming, Dacheng's foundation is becoming more and more stable, this draft, many families are willing to choose the right girl to enter the palace.

,, Lian got it. Wang Hongyi didn't care and waved his hand.

At this time, the Royal Palace Garden

Several corridors, the white marble column zigzags straight through, at this time on both sides of the lake, a row of weeping willows has been green, and stone tables and bamboo chairs are placed along the river.

The breeze is blowing, the willows are swaying, and there is laughter and laughter here.

It turned out that the queen mother saw the bright spring and was in a good mood, and took the palace people to the imperial garden to enjoy the spring flowers.

Accompanied by the queen mother, there are queen Song Xinyou, concubine Zhao Wan, concubine Su'er, and a few more frightened, in the last year or two, new palace talents and nobles, including Xie Lurui.

They all got the news and had fun in the Imperial Garden.

There are even new girls, and it can even be said that it is Luo Fei

I saw that they were all between fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and orange teeth, and they were about to make a date, and at this time many women gathered, or charming, or coquettish, or beautiful, and in a variety of postures, which was really a bit of a fairy's charm.

Although the emperor is not very concerned about women, in order to balance, in the past few years, the palace has selected three batches of show girls, the oldest of these girls is only ten **, and the youngest is fourteen or fifteen years old, all of which have their own colors.

However, there are very few who can be loved by the emperor:

Seeing that the first queen and the second concubine are constantly favored, and Xie Lurui has a princess, these girls are looking forward to it, the queen mother is generous, and seeing that there is nothing to be done elsewhere, many people go to please the queen mother, and then approach the emperor.

There are many people who accompany the Queen Mother to talk funny, and the sitting queen, concubine, and concubine will also say a few flattering words from time to time to make fun, and it is very lively for a while?

It's just that these women still see the Queen Mother as too simple.

The Queen Mother was young and widowed, and lived a poor life with her only son, but she was still from a big family, and she lived a rich life over the years.

In this palace, although the queen is in charge of palace affairs, the queen mother's eyeliner cronies are not absent, but the queen mother is not greedy for power, and her son is extremely filial, so she is generous.

Song Xinyou's gaze swept over these newly entered the palace, her smile remained unchanged, and her onion and white jade fingers gently lifted the lid and savored the entrance.

She is the master of the harem, these concubines, she has to know in her heart, the concubine and the concubine are gentle, a catty, cold temperament is not greedy for power and no relatives of the woman, a few years, she is at ease with these two people, but other people ......

Some girls are so naïve that they have to find some opportunity to beat them.

,,Queen Mother,Queen Mother attached to let the minister come over to pass the word,Said that today's government affairs are busy,Can't come over to accompany the mother to enjoy the flowers,, At this time,A serving chamberlain hurriedly walked to say.

Hearing this, the women who were still looking forward to it were all looking at it with a look of loss.

They were originally drunkards who did not mean to drink, and they had long heard that every time the Queen Mother enjoyed the flowers, Her Majesty would come to accompany them, and today they specially dressed up and came over, but they couldn't even see anyone.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to see their expressions, and said happily: "Government affairs are important, government affairs are important, and the mourning family is just a casual look at where the emperor needs to come over, you go and talk back, let the emperor do things well, don't worry about the mourning family, the mourning family has these people here to accompany you, okay!"

,, No!" The waiter stepped back.

The Queen Mother admired the flowers in the imperial garden with a smile, but after a while, she said to the queen.

,,Things in the queen's palace,Presumably you know better than the mourning family,Originally, there were more idlers in this palace,There are more idle things,As the queen,In charge of the harem and some things,Don't relax.。 ”

,, what the Queen Mother said is. Song Xinyou hurriedly stood up and said:

The Queen Mother sat there, glanced at it, and knew that the daughter-in-law here understood what she meant, so she nodded, and then the conversation changed and talked about other things.

The harem undercurrent is surging, the palace affairs deal with this matter, no one will inform the emperor, at this time Wang Hongyi also has his own things to be busy with, and he also has no time to pay attention to this matter, and is listening to the officials below in the outer palace to return to Enke.

After retiring the officials who had done the work, Wang Hongyi sat behind the bookcase and looked through the roster of students who participated in Enke this time.

The roster placed on the table was thick, which made Wang Hongyi feel very pleased.

He remembers that when the first imperial examination was held, the number of students who participated was much smaller than he had hoped, not so much because of the size of the area, but because many people were still waiting.

Last year, the two states were pacified, and the Central Plains was in the hands, and the arrogance was different.

The imperial examination was gradually accepted, and whether it was a student from a family or a poor family, there were many more people participating in this Enke than the previous times, which was a symbol of the stability of the imperial court.

There is no need to rush this matter, but at present, it seems that the people in the entire territory have attracted the attention of this first Enke of the emperor

As Wang Hongyi expected, Enke, in the eyes of the world, is far more important than the Fa case.

However, here, there are already some signs, and some incumbent officials and families are paying attention to these students, and students also need to have a backstage.

Therefore, marriages, banquets, and learnings emerge in endlessly.

Some are tolerable, some are not. On the earth, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there was fraud, Shunzhi 14 years has occurred three cases of fraud, respectively, Ding Baishun Tianxiang trial, Ding Baijiangnan Township trial, Ding Baihenan Township trial, 18 examiners were all hanged.

But don't repeat it here, thinking of this, Wang Hongyi showed coldness.

Customs, Song House

In Song Han's courtyard, Song Heng, who was passing by on his way to Jinling, was discussing the imperial examination with his brother:

,,Eldest brother, what is the reaction of the other families?" Although the Song family is a descendant, they are also concerned about this matter.

Song Han had some family information in his hand, and when he saw the second brother asking, he didn't hide it: "There are no big moves in the few families at present, but they are still secretly moving, but they are still within the normal range." ，，

Your Majesty doesn't touch them, but he doesn't want to pay attention to them. Song Heng said with a sneer:

They already understood this emperor very well.

Song Han said: "Your Majesty has just ascended to the throne, although the country has stabilized, there is a threat from the Hu people in the north, and they are ready for war at any time, and now there is a sensational Dharma meeting case that has caused a sensation in the world, and if something happens, it will not be what Your Majesty wants to see.

,,Even if there is a little fraud,As long as the families and these students don't make too much trouble,His Majesty will not be guilty at this time,But not now,It doesn't mean that you won't settle accounts afterwards............"

,, According to the meaning of the eldest brother, the Song family is not involved in this matter?" Song Heng asked.

Song Han shook his head: "No, it's not a good thing for the Song family to be too lonely, it's best to grasp the balance and be low-key and not attract attention." The Song family only needs to have a certain amount of goodwill towards some promising students, and don't do anything else.

,, what the eldest brother said is, the younger brother understands. Song Heng immediately understood what his brother meant. (To be continued.)
