Zhang Zhaohua sat on the couch and looked at the newly sent report-which said the recent major events in the DPRK and China, one was that Annan Li Cang sent an envoy to pay tribute, and the other was that Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, was ordered to inspect western Zhejiang and control the floods in Susong and Jiahu.

She rubbed and held the jade paperweight and thought for a while, and said, "Take the Beiping Fish Scale Atlas and the Rich People's Book." ”

Zhang Zhaohua believes that it is preparing to implement the policy of "enriching the people and enriching Beijing", that is, the emperor is ready to migrate the rich people of Suzhou and Hangzhou to fill in Beijing, which is the same reason as Emperor Gao did that year.

There are about tens of thousands of people to be added to the rich people's register, and the settlement of these rich people is even more complicated than the homeless people from Shanxi.

All of Gao Chi's current recitals have to be sent out by Zhang Zhaohua here, and this time is no exception. But when Zhang Zhaohua opened it, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This one, just stay with me and don't send it." ”

What Gao Chi wrote, what he wrote was, please send a crime to reclaim the barren land in Beijing.

The population of Beiping Liufu is actually not much, and there are many barren fields waiting to be reclaimed around. The tens of thousands of people from Shanxi are not enough, and Gao Chi's performance seems to be fine.

However, now those who are sent to reclaim the fields are not displaced people and criminals, but the common people of Shandong, among whom Jinan is the most numerous.

These people are not guilty, they are all ordinary people, they are not the group of landless and jobless people in Shanxi, who settled in Beiping - each of them has a family and a family, and they came to serve in Beiping as a people's husband.

Zhang Zhaohua knew too well why, during the Battle of Jingjing, the emperor's troops were almost invincible. Only in Shandong, it was hit hard and almost died. With the blessing of God, the emperor took a shortcut, captured the capital of Nanjing, and became the emperor. He deeply hated the people of Shandong for refusing to attach themselves to him, and all the people were transferred from Shandong, and this year Beiping, Shandong, and Henan were all famine, Beiping had already been exempt from tax for five years, and Henan was also exempt from tax for one year, but Shandong did not exempt from taxes, but only sent people to help.

This is obviously the emperor venting his personal grievances, and this breath of anger held in Jinan, Shandong Province finally came out today. You said that Gao Chi is still so ignorant, and he actually dares to ask for the crime of flowing to reclaim the land, isn't it clearly dissatisfied with the emperor's decision-making and wants to do something against the emperor?

If this book hadn't been stopped in her hand, I don't know how the emperor would have been angry when he saw it! When is it now, lest he can't perform more brilliantly, Gao Chi's move is simply discrediting himself.

Sure enough, as Zhang Zhaohua expected, Xia Yuanji inspected western Zhejiang, but he returned in January. He reported to Emperor Yongle in the palace of his body what he had seen and heard in Susong, and said: "Not only the ten counties of Suzhou, but also the rich people of Zhili Prefecture and Zhejiang, all of them are registered in the register, please check it." ”

Emperor Yongle was very happy and said, "Lord Xia, thank you for your hard work!"

Xia Yuanji said: "I don't dare to be Your Majesty, it's all within the duty of a minister." The minister was in Susong in January, and because he was in a hurry to come back to resume his life, he didn't stay longer. Now the minister begs to return to Susong. ”

Emperor Yongle let out an "oh" and asked, "Why do you want to go to Susong again?"

Xia Yuanji said: "The minister went this time, and saw that although the water of Su and Song entered the sea from the old road, but the tributaries were not all drained, Baimaotang, Liujiahe, and Dahuangpu were all drained, and there was a lot of silt, and the minister consulted the local classics and found that in the former Yuan Dynasty, these places were not silted, and the Susong farmland was all irrigated by the river water in these places. ”

Emperor Yongle was very happy, nodded again and again, but said: "Aiqing, you have just come back, and you are going to Susong again without stopping, you are not tired, but I have to feel distressed! In this way, you will copy the number of farmland in Zhejiang from the register, compare it with the previous yuan, write a book, and after the court discussion, I will send you again." ”

After Xia Yuanji played right, he immediately came to Wenyuan Pavilion to check books, Wenyuan Pavilion now has seven attendants, working in the room, this is the emperor's secretarial organization, now in the pavilion, only Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi two people sit opposite each other.

After Xia Yuanji entered, the two greeted each other and greeted each other.

"Where did you come from?" Xie Jin asked.

Xia Yuanji wanted to find Su Song's book of books in the former Yuan Dynasty, and he was naturally not as familiar with this place as Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi, who were often in the pavilion, so the two of them helped him find it, and before he could say a few words, a eunuch hurriedly came outside, saying that the emperor had summoned Xia Yuanji.

"Three summons a day," Xie Jin watched Xia Yuanji walk away, and sighed: "The grace is grand." ”

Yang Shiqi smiled slightly.

If it is said that in the late Ming Dynasty, there were two ways for officials to be promoted: Beijing officials and foreign officials, and ordinary people would definitely choose Beijing officials. Xinke Jinshi was born, and he wanted to take the road of being selected for Hanlin and transferred to the Sixth Department, but he did not want to be a foreign official. Because once you leave Beijing and indulge in the state and county for decades, you will almost be just a prefect for the rest of your life, and a few people can survive to the prefect, but as for those who are promoted to governors and scholars, there are very few like morning stars.

But at this time, whether it is a jinshi or a prisoner, they are willing to choose the official position of being released. Before accompanying the emperor, there were actually not many people who were willing. In the final analysis, it is this Wenchen who is not easy to do, and he is like a tiger. Especially the scholars who were born in Hanlin and are now in the cabinet, they are not as good as the officials of the six ministries, and they still have the way to be promoted, although they are now involved in the secrets, they don't know where their future way out is, and their official position will always be just a six-grade official.

"Phew!" a small, bright yellow figure jumped in: "Look at you this time, you can't catch up!"

Xie Jin was knocked to the ground by him and took two steps back, but Yang Shiqi quickly lifted the person up: "His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun!"

The person who came was Brother Chun'er, since he came to Nanjing, no one could control it, and he was almost crazy - Yang Shiqi saw that he still had a yellow belt on his ear, and knew that he was playing hide and seek with the palace people, but he didn't know how to run from the harem to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Brother Chun'er was not afraid at all, his round face was steaming, and he actually pulled Yang Shiqi's sleeve and wiped the sweat on his head.

"Who are you?" Brother Tsubaki looked at them curiously, and then stretched out his head to look inside: "Where is this?"

Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi saluted him first, and said, "This is Wenyuan Pavilion, Weichen Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi have seen His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson." ”

"Books!" Brother Tsubaki scratched his head and said, "Picture books!

Xie Jin saw the painting painted by His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson on the emperor's desk, which was said to be a mouse, but Xie Jin was stunned and didn't see it, only saw a black graffiti, but the emperor was very precious about this painting.

It seems that the emperor's eldest grandson likes to paint, Xie Jin took a copy of the Xuanhe Painting Garden from the shelf, opened it and put it on the table, and invited him to look at it.

Brother Chun'er rejoiced, pulled Xie Jin, and motioned for him to carry himself onto the chair: "You can paint!

Xie Jin's heart moved, he also pulled a chair and sat next to him, then spread out the drawing paper and gently sketched two figures: "Your Royal Highness, look at what this is......"

Eunuch Haishou came in from outside: "Lord Xie, is Lord Xie here? Your Majesty summoned you over." ”

Xie Jin put down his paintbrush and hurried to the Jinshen Palace. After a while, there was a voice outside, it seemed that they were all looking for the emperor's eldest grandson, Yang Shiqi also heard it, he hugged Brother Chun'er, wiped his little hands stained with ink, and told him very solemnly: "Your Royal Highness, after you go back, you must not say that you came to Wenyuan Pavilion today." ”

Brother Tsubaki seemed to feel that this half day was very pleasant, he felt that this seemed to be a magical place that only he knew, and he wanted to come in the future, so he nodded and said, "Don't say it!
