Haitao waited carefully on the side, for the new emperor, he still knew a little bit, on the surface he looked good to speak, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, but in his heart he inherited a bit of coldness from the ancestors of the Zhu family, for fear that he would do something bad and make the new emperor unhappy, thus bringing unwarranted disasters to himself.

Zhu Zhanji's face, which had always been calm, suddenly changed at this moment, the two sharp sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and a pair of dark eyes under his brows flashed with a faint light, staring at the fold in his hand without a moment, and muttered a few times.

Haitao is good at observing words and emotions on weekdays, seeing the emperor like this, that is, the emperor has encountered something to think about, he is a eunuch, he dare not see more, the emperor did not ask, let alone say more, once the son of heaven and a courtier, although the Yongle Emperor reused the eunuch, may not be his grandson willing to reuse, the stone tablet that the eunuch can not interfere in politics is still there, before he finds out the character of the new emperor, he does not dare to be this bird.

glanced at Zhu Zhanji's slightly pale face, and quickly lowered his head.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Zhanji picked up the red pen in his hand and hesitated for a moment, wanting to put down the pen, but he didn't know what he thought, and finally brought it up again.

The entire Qianqing Palace was quiet, except for the occasional Yongle bell echoing outside the door from time to time, and everyone stopped moving, and even slowed down their breathing, for fear that their breathing would be too heavy, thus interfering with the emperor's contemplation.

Haitao overflowed with beads of sweat on his forehead, he is in his fifties this year, to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, in the early years, he was running around, he was not less busy, his body had already crossed, he had been dizzy all morning, especially his feet were sore, but he didn't dare to rub it, seeing that the emperor didn't mean to speak out at all, he only gritted his teeth and worked hard to support.

After about a cup of tea like this, Zhu Zhanji exhaled heavily, turned his head and said, "Is today's Suzhou tax delivered?" The voice was gentle and moving, but it quickly broke the suffocating silence.

Haitao felt that if the atmosphere just now was longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to support it, and couldn't help but sigh that he was old, listened to the emperor's question, and thought about it: "Back to the emperor, the slave heard that this year's Jiangnan has more earthquakes than Nanjing, and the rest of the places are smooth and rainy, and Suzhou is a bumper harvest, I heard that the harvest is 500,000 more stones than last year, and according to the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the production of 200,000 more silk horses this year than last year is good......?" But if today's tax delivery has not been delivered, the slave really doesn't know? “

Zhu Zhanji's face became more and more bad when he heard this, Haitao looked at him and was startled, and thought that he had said something wrong, to say what he said just now, he really didn't talk nonsense, when he went to the cabinet early this morning to pass the decree, after passing through the class room, I heard many officials saying that this year's bumper harvest in Suzhou, in fact, there is no bumper harvest, Suzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, in order to make the peasants' food and clothing self-sufficient, issued an order to plant mulberry and hemp cotton in addition to rice. As a result, the silk and cotton textile handicraft industry flourished rapidly, and the industry and commerce in Jiangnan also developed. The imperial court set up a weaving and dyeing bureau in Suzhou in the east of Tianxin Bridge, which was divided into six halls, 173 looms, and 667 craftsmen in the bureau, specializing in the production of high-grade silk for the royal family, roughly more than 1,500 horses per year. The east of Suzhou is a machine household, with silk weaving as its business. Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, and the gradual prosperity of overseas trade also stimulated the active commercial activities of Suzhou, and carried out trade with Funan (Cambodia) and Lim Yi (central Vietnam). Stimulated by the high profits of overseas trade, Suzhou silk weaving industry has a greater development, becoming the center of the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River, the economy is developed, in the early years by the Yongle Emperor moved the capital, dredged the canal, went to the West, five out of Mongolia and other feats, Suzhou has always been heavily taxed, so there is no such situation this year, so it is called a bumper harvest.

At this time, he said it casually, not wanting the emperor's face to be so ugly, so he knelt down in a frightened voice and whispered: "The slave should die, the slave should die, shouldn't he talk about state affairs and disturb the emperor's mind?" “

"What is the sin?" Zhu Zhanji was woken up, he was just a little shocked before, the fold in his hand was the fold on the prefect of Suzhou, this year is obviously a bumper harvest year, but the tax revenue is less than half, which makes him surprised and feel a little angry? I asked this question, but I didn't think that it scared Haitao, and I comforted him a few times, and said: "I still remember that Hongxi owed 3.92 million stone in grain in the first year, and how could it be that this year had a bumper harvest, and the tax was as high as 7.9 million stone. The father of Songjiang Mansion set aside 450,000 stone of rice at the time, but Shina only had 80,000 stone, and Changzhou, Huzhou and other prefectures owed taxes and grain -- just talking about grain was enough, why did the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau obviously produce amazing output, but less than half of the imperial court transported to the capital, where did all this grain and silk go, could it be that Chengdu could not fly? “

Haitao was originally just feeding horses for the imperial court, although he went to North Korea a few times in the early years, he only followed Huang Yan to make a big move, and did not gain any knowledge, and did not understand any economy at all, and when he heard the emperor's words, he didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Zhanji frowned and complained a few times, only then did he realize that Haitao was illiterate, and his complaint was unreasonable, so he waved his hand and said, "What news is there in Nanjing?" “

"No news yet?" As soon as Haitao heard that the emperor no longer asked those headache questions, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said carefully: "The cabinet hasn't sent someone to send news yet?" “

"Besides, Zhong has been going to Nanjing for some time, right?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and asked casually.

Haitao didn't dare to slack off at all, and said more and more carefully: "Back to the emperor, it has been forty days since Lord Guo left the capital?" ”

"It's been that long?" Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised, he was busy dealing with his father's funeral at this time, and then began to be busy dealing with various government affairs left by his father, he didn't realize the time, but he didn't expect that more than 40 days had passed, and then he remembered that those civil and military ministers were still under the supervision of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and he couldn't help but ask with some worry: "What is the movement of Wenchen?" ”

Haitao said: "Back to His Royal Highness, there is Lord Xia, Lord Yang dispatches from it, although you can't go back to the house, you can also work as usual, but there is no discomfort?" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "That's good?" As soon as the words fell, he said: "It's been more than forty days, and the bell hasn't come back yet, could it be that something happened?" “

Haitao shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, the Lord is shrewd, and besides, there is Lord Yang, I'm just afraid that I will rush to the capital at this time, if something happens, I would have sent someone to report to the imperial court?" “

Zhu Zhanji thought about it and felt that his words made some sense, but when he thought of the King of Han in Le'an Prefecture, he was a little uneasy, and said: "I am a little worried about this matter, you go and help me ask the cabinet, if there is any news, come to report to me immediately?" ”

Haitao glanced at the high recital beside Zhu Zhanji, and shuddered in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly responded: "The slave is going!" After speaking, he bowed and retreated, tidied up the red python clothes on his body, and hurried to the cabinet.

"Hey, Grandpa Hai, where are you going?" Wang Zhen walked over and said with a smile. Since I went to Jiangnan, followed the emperor to pretend to be back to the common people, after returning to the palace, Wang Zhen can be described as a spring breeze, a eunuch who has just entered the palace for less than three years, it is said that he can only be a pawn book, a long follower, and a royal service, if the table is good, he can be promoted to a prisoner, and then the eunuch is a young eunuch, and the top boss of the young eunuch is a well-known eunuch, but who makes the family literate, and entered Renzong's imperial study, and was favored by Yang Rong and others, and now he is a popular person around the emperor, obviously a eunuch, in the fall, so in just a few months, Wang Zhen's official position changed very quickly, first the salary, bells and drums, treasure money, mixed hall and other four divisions, and now it has entered the imperial horse prison, although it is only a clerk, but everyone knows that the Ming eunuchs have a total of twenty-four yamen in addition to the celebrant supervisor, the most powerful, the most promising is the imperial horse supervisor.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up an internal envoy in September of the first year of Wu, and divided the internal envoy into an internal envoy and a second eunuch, all of whom were of the third rank, and were divided into the name of the internal envoy and the royal degree; At the same time, there is a royal horse division, which is five products, and the horses in the stables are in charge. The Imperial Horse Division is the predecessor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, although its status is lower than that of the Inner Envoy and the Imperial Eunuch, but it is the third eunuch yamen set up before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and its setting is six years earlier than the predecessor of the Imperial Eunuch and the Chronicle Division, and so on after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the eunuchs, but the Imperial Horse Supervisor is still extremely important, in April of the 17th year of Hongwu, he set the rank of the officials of the Inner Palace, and changed the Imperial Horse Division to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Divine Palace, Shangbao, Si Li and other eunuchs are the same as the seven products. At this time, it was not long before the Ming Taizu killed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, abolished Zhongshu Province, and reformed the official system of the outer court, so although the setting of the entire inner court was becoming larger and more sound, the rank was generally reduced, and even the internal officials and supervisors of the "governor's various positions" were only set as the six products, but the real power was returned, and in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang killed and killed, and the imperial power was completely consolidated. In June of this year, the foreign court system was first stipulated: "I dismissed the prime minister, set up five governments, six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Department, Dali Temple and other yamen, divided the affairs of the world, each other, did not dare to press each other, everything is the court in short." In September, the inner court was established, and the original nine prisons were expanded to 11 prisons, all of which were designated as four products, and there were four departments and eight bureaus, and the regulation of the eunuchs and 24 yamen was basically formed.
