The lack of fixed grain storage sites and the lack of records of collection and transportation have fuelled the trend of corruption. It is precisely because of the lack of clarity in management that the officials have taken advantage of the opportunity to engage in favoritism, corruption, and extortion, which has increased the suffering of the common people, and many of them are hungry and weaving, and they have toiled hard for a year, and in the end the income is not enough to pay taxes.

Zhu Zhanji has heard a lot of about these situations in Nanjing, but at that time he was the crown prince, and it was inconvenient to interfere in the government affairs, so he didn't pay attention to it, and now he has ascended the throne as the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, he can no longer sit idly by, these days he privately sent Dongchang to investigate the matter, and the results obtained are similar to what he thought, Suzhou is difficult to govern, in the final analysis, it is still those princes and grandsons who are making trouble......

After thinking for a moment, he glanced up at Wang Zhen, and he was extremely appreciative of Wang Zhen's words today that coincided with what he thought in his heart, and he only felt that this eunuch was easy to use.

"In Mr. Wang's opinion, how should I deal with this matter?" Zhu Zhanji asked with a smile, not like he was asking, but in a homely manner.

The emperor wanted to make a family routine, Wang Zhen didn't dare to really say it as a family, but fortunately, he listened to it back and forth in the cabinet, and he had already prepared in his heart, since Yongle in Suzhou, bureaucrats, landlords, and eunuchs took advantage of the time to shoot profits, wantonly plundered the fields of officials and people, and the wind of land annexation slowly prevailed, and a large number of peasants went bankrupt. As a result, in the early Ming Dynasty, a large number of fugitives in rural China had not yet returned to their hometowns and resumed work, and there was a new population movement, peasant uprisings one after another, and at the same time there was a large-scale movement of displaced people, so agricultural production was severely affected, and the state had no way to get out. So that agricultural production has gradually recovered, handicraft production has been developed rapidly, and at the same time to crack down on corrupt officials, only a two-pronged approach can see the effect, of course, this is not his opinion, is the person Xia Daren two days ago accidentally said the mouth, was listened to by him in his ears, at that time just listened to the ear, I didn't think that today actually came in handy, I have to say that God is good to himself, although there is an exclamation in his heart, but he does not dare to rush to answer, first, this method is not clear if he does not understand the mystery is categorically unspeakable, second, in this palace from the mouth of the matter, he needs to think twice, the three of them, pause for a while, it seems that his question to this emperor is well thought out, and he can lick himself a little bit of favor in front of the emperor.

After about half a pillar of incense, I explained the method I had heard in detail.

Zhu Zhanji said: "What Mr. Wang said, I also think, but this Suzhou city has been bad habits for many years, and I want to fundamentally solve the problem of only fear of suffering, and now I have just ascended the throne, the world has not yet been stable, and I can't be in a hurry with Suzhou, I really have a headache?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhen didn't know that the emperor had already made up his mind, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty is worried, but Suzhou is not rectified, and it is difficult for the imperial court to recover the taxes, which is greatly disadvantageous to the imperial court.......

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "This is exactly where my worries lie, the people of Suzhou are suffering, I am afraid that I am looking forward to me ascending the throne and burning three fires, if I ignore Suzhou, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts ......of the people of Suzhou?"

Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Zhanji just wanted to find someone to talk to, and his attention had already been set, and when he heard Wang Zhen say this, he didn't know why, and the mood that had been irritable in his heart calmed down, and he said to himself: "Who do you say I will send?"

Wang Zhen is extremely clever, looking at his nose and nose, and keeping his mouth shut.

Zhu Zhanji saw that Wang Zhen was speechless, glanced at him appreciatively, smiled, and said, "Mr. Wang, who should I send?" Wang Zhen didn't want to be charged with interfering in politics, he still had ambitions to achieve, where he just wanted to be a writing eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, his goal was the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, no, it should be a palm print eunuch who was one level higher than this, so he had to be cautious and thought about it: " I don't know this servant, but according to the ancestral system of our dynasty, whenever there is a serious political matter in the imperial court, or when there is a vacancy in the minister of civil and military affairs, the emperor will order a meeting of the courtiers to discuss and weigh it appropriately, and then report to the emperor to make a decision. The slave thinks that this official sent by His Majesty in Suzhou might as well use this method?"

"Court discussion", Mr. didn't remind me, but I forgot?" Zhu Zhanji seemed very satisfied with this method, and said with a sigh of relief: "Let's do this way, Mr. Lao Fu will send a letter to the cabinet, and I will discuss it in the palace early tomorrow morning?"

"Slave is going?" Wang Zhen responded, turned around and left, and after a while, the figure disappeared outside the palace gate.

Looking at Wang Zhenyuan's back, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "This eunuch is still good at literacy and hyphenation, and he can solve problems for me Baizac, but it will be important in the future?"

Zhu Zhanji in the Qianqing Palace was busy with state affairs, and the cabinet was not idle, and the affairs of the Ming Dynasty up and down were all running here, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Huang Huai were busy non-stop. He was recently pardoned and ordered to resume his business. All the accumulation, all the exemption, jubilant and far, all return. The minister saw that the people of Shanxi were depressed, and the reason for this was that when they first fled, they were afraid of crime and did not apply for the household department, so they could not avoid it. Now that I have returned to the field, there is still a division that still collects taxes. I am afraid that I will not be able to pay my taxes and will be a fugitive. In response to this incident, Xuanzong had to play a letter to Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Households: After the amnesty, if he does not get rid of it, how can it be said that he has not heard about it at the beginning, but he has to pay it! This is a breach of trust in the people. He is the next company and is exempt from tax. The Cabinet was responsible for issuing the Emperor's orders.

In the following June, it rained for a long time in Henan, and I heard that the Huang and Ru rivers overflowed, and the nine counties of Zhengzhou and Yangwu, Zhongmu, Xiangfu, Lanyang, Yingze, Chenliu, Fengqiu, Yanling, and Yuanwu in Kaifeng Prefecture, Ruzhou in Nanyang Prefecture, and Song County in Henan Prefecture were all drifting and flooding crops. Since the river rose sharply in June, half of the residents along the rivers in Xiangyang, Gucheng, Junzhou, and Yunxian counties were flooded, and the cabinet had to quickly draw up a charter so that the imperial court's various disaster relief funds could be put in place.

The last thing was for the emperor personally, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji took the good and evil deeds of the previous generations of relatives and subordinates recorded in the historical books as a warning, excerpted and edited into a book, compiled on April 15, and personally wrote a preface and awarded it to his relatives and ministers. Xuanzong admonished: I only rule the way of the world, I must start with my relatives, and the civil and military ministers also want to return to good. Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future. Therefore, in his spare time, he collected the traces of good and evil, and collected them into this book to show the precepts of the law. He chooses the good and follows it, in order to protect the blessings. This book still needs to be revised by the cabinet, the number of cabinet members is not enough, and Yang Shiqi has not returned, but Yang Rong and others are busy enough, and they almost have no chest and back.

Seeing that it was almost noon, everyone stopped to rest for a while, Yang Rong asked the eunuch on duty to send some food, a few people ate some millet porridge, and were about to work again, Haitao walked in at this time, and said the words of the emperor just now, Yang Rong heard that the fake prince had arrived at his conscience, and he was relieved, so that the news of the emperor's accession to the throne did not leak, so it is enough to show that the king of Han could not make any big moves in a short period of time, so that a few people were secretly relieved to face the state affairs that continued to recover in front of themUnder the supervision of the East Factory, you can't go anywhere, only in the office of your own class, in just one month, the effectiveness of the six departments has increased a lot, the political affairs that have been dragged out in the past, have not been dealt with in time, and even the things that have not been in place, in this more than a month, they have done a very good job, the household department began to count the taxes of the imperial court, and the military department began to rectify the soldiers and horses in the capital. The Ministry of Convenience also began to dredge the Grand Canal again, and in just over a month, it was worth more than half a year of Hongxi's dynasty, which made several ministers happy, and seemed to see the picture of the gradual recovery of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of Yongle.

"Someone?" Yang Rong retracted his thoughts, since the fake prince had arrived in Liangxiang, according to the imperial court system, he still needed to send officials to greet him, but who to send made him feel a little headache.

This matter was originally a matter of the Ministry of Rites, but those cowards of the Ministry of Rites, when they heard that they had passed through the fiefdom of the King of Han, did not dare to go, and finally sent a situation clock, and at this time they found a reason, and there was no one to go to kill them, Lu Zhen's old puppet was even more cunning, and he was sick at home at this time, everyone knew how this old puppet was sick, but it was also possible, after all, people were old, and some illnesses were normal, so they couldn't let people be sick in bed and drag a handful of old bones to greet the prince, that was not to greet, but to murder the ministers of the court, although he was a scholar, he also had a headache in the face of those imperial historians。

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The third change, that's all there is tonight, I really want to go out of the fourth watch, but Monday, too tired, I had to rest, unconsciously to the last three days at the end of the month, often these three days are the time to test whether a book is really good, because at this time there is a monthly pass, there is a ranking, if this one is powerful, I believe that the monthly pass will have a good position, so Xiaojing boldly asks for a monthly pass, begs for subscription, don't forget it!!
