"No, you can't be so impulsive." After secretly calculating his hole cards, Zhu Youxiao shook his head, restrained the impulse in his heart, he couldn't be so reckless! With the level of communication in these years, I am afraid that his edict has just been issued, and it is estimated that some people will rebel before it has spread all over the place.

"No, there shouldn't be any rebellion, those gentry and bureaucrats are all big landlords, and they will benefit the most after the agricultural tax is exempted. Wait, why do I have the idea that they will rebel after the agricultural tax is exempted? Zhu Youxiao touched his head and said hello.

"By the way, forget about the gap between the times." After thinking about it for a long time, he finally realized that when the Celestial Empire was exempted from agricultural tax in the future, all land was nationalized, and he subconsciously substituted this into it, so he subconsciously felt that some people would rebel if he was exempted from agricultural tax.

"In that case, instead of nationalizing the land, it is simply exempt from agricultural taxes." Zhu Youxiao pondered deeply, to be honest, he really didn't care about the four million taels of silver that came up from the annual agricultural tax revenue, as long as he held the production and sales of salt in his hands, the situation would spread, and the profits generated by the entire thirteen provinces of the Central Plains would be at least more than 10 million taels a year, which was enough for him to support the country.

"No, no, it's not that simple." Zhu Youxiao denied his judgment again, because he remembered that there was another thing related to agricultural taxes, that is, grain. Every year, millions of stone of grain are transported to Jingshi through the canal, supplying the consumption of millions of people in the entire capital.

However, in this lifeline, like table salt, there is an astonishing amount of corruption, if it can be mastered.........

Salt, grain, agricultural taxes, three things kept churning in his mind, and a general framework gradually took shape in his mind, but it was only a frame, and the specific details of flesh and blood still needed to be filled in by the people of this era.

Under endless thoughts, Zhu Youxiao fell asleep very late, and the next day he got up from bed knowing that the sun was three poles, but fortunately, he didn't need to go to the morning court now, and other government affairs were also handled by Fang Congzhe for the time being, and there was nothing to do.

"It's so comfortable to sleep in! In order to sleep well in the future, the time of the morning pilgrimage must be deserved. Zhu Youxiao stretched his waist and climbed down, next to the bed was the palace maid with toiletries such as basins and towels, and under the service of the palace maid, he was lazily busy with everything.

The time of the early Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of later generations, was simply frenzied, and the early point and those vegetable sellers in the capital of the Later Celestial Dynasty had the first fight, they all got up at three or four o'clock, and then washed and changed clothes, and waited in front of the noon gate. Maybe people in this era are used to it, but Zhu Youxiao has never adapted to it.

Since I can't adapt myself, let the world adapt to me!

To be an emperor is to be so domineering.

Thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, there was a feeling of being able to reach his thoughts, there was really a feeling that the sea was wide and the sky was high and the birds were flying, he really felt a trace of being an emperor at the moment, scolding Fang Xuan, and the world bowed his head.

Zhu Youxiao, who was in a good mood, came to the study, summoned Wang Chengen, and continued to listen to his report on the situation in the palace. The detailed reports of carbon rice, spices, tribute, gold and silver utensils, the generals, the imperial village, and so on, continued until noon.

The entire Forbidden City is extremely large, including palace maids, eunuchs, concubines, there are 20,000 people living here, and there are countless palaces and pavilions.

After the Red Pill coup, the order of the entire palace was in chaos, and the former twenty-four yamen were scattered, collapsed, and messy. But this is also just right, if it is not broken, it will not be broken, and then it will be broken, and Zhu Youxiao will just rectify the inner court.

There are a total of 24 yamen in the inner court, as well as a number of other subsidiary small institutions, which basically have the functions of the outer court, and the inner court has them. Zhu Youxiao has seen a lot, and they all boasted about the incomparable awesomeness of the inner court led by these eunuchs, from the soldiers, horses, firearms, to the blowing, playing, and singing.

Zhu Youxiao's report from Wang Chengen and his own life for many years, the inner court is indeed fully functional, but just like a general with sparse martial arts, he can use all kinds of weapons, but he is not proficient in everything.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor has a branch of soldiers and horses, but it has long been decayed, and the battle can basically be enveloped by Xili, killed in a battle, and the rest are all like some goods, just like the Han general of the Jinyi Guard, standing on duty, on duty, if you talk about marching and fighting, escorting and killing the enemy, it is really not good, or the later Chongzhen will not do any internal eunuch army.

Fortunately, this is an ordinary and ordinary world, although there is a technique similar to the national art of killing the enemy, but still afraid of swords, guns, bows and arrows, relying on the huge number of people, the twelve guards and the imperial horse prison army can protect the safety of the Zhu Ming royal family, otherwise they would have been killed by the legendary Nie Yinniang, Jingjing'er and the like.

"Now that the personnel have been screened, then among the eunuchs, those who are extremely evil and involved in the rebellion will be handed over to Jinyi, and among the rest, select the clever and capable ones to teach the art of writing and arithmetic and accounting, and the rest will be sent to the Heavenly Palace Workshop except for a thousand strong people to maintain the operation of the palace."

Zhu You's school plan pulled a few times and made a decision to deal with the inner court, these measures have been in place for a long time, and Wang Chengen is also implementing them, and it is just a cliché at the moment. However, his next sentence shocked Wang Chengen. "From now on, the twenty-four yamen of the inner court will be abolished and the inner government will be established, and in the future, the court will not need to be supplied locally, and the inner government will come forward to buy it from the market."

"Holy!" Zhu Youxiao's decision made Wang Chengen's eyes widen in vain, and he couldn't help but scream.

"What? Do you have an opinion? Zhu Youxiao glanced sideways, his eyes were a little cold.

"Slaves don't dare." Wang Chengen shuddered, and didn't even dare to say it.

"As for the palace maids, except for some of the older ones who do not want to return home to serve, the guilty ones are sent to the hospital to serve as nurses."

"Hospital?" Although Wang Chengenyou's body was still trembling, he didn't come back from the surprise just now, but out of the instinct to do a good job, he still subconsciously asked.

"It's the former station, which was temporarily converted into a hospital, but this is not a long-term solution, you wait and ask Luo Sigong to see if there is any big mansion to be copied this time, and the hospital will be moved." Zhu Youxiao explained casually and gave another order.

Wang Chengen listened, and hurriedly took a small notebook and wrote it down, so as not to forget it.

"All the rest were given gold and silver and put back to their homes, and those who were homeless or unwilling to return were put away first, and I used them for the rest later. The craftsmen were all sent to the Tiangong workshop in the western suburbs for placement. ”

"The gold, silver, utensils, jewelry, cultural relics, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques in the palace are temporarily received from the treasure vault and left for disposal. The hospital in the barracks was moved as soon as possible, and then a vault was built based on the garrison to store gold and silver, and the palace was stored here. The inner carrier warehouse is dedicated to storing the materials purchased by the inner government to allocate the amount of money used in the palace. ”

Zhu Youxiao said one by one, each measure was very clear, not chaotic, obviously there was a draft, and Wang Chengen next to him was also using a pen to record quickly, ready to start implementing.

"In addition," after Wang Chengen finished remembering, Zhu Youxiao continued, "The documents about Huangzhuang are not detailed enough, so I went back and did it again." With that, he tossed a book from his desk.

"Yes, the slave will go back and do it again." Wang Chengen hurriedly grabbed the book, and the pen and notebook in his hand were dropped.

"By the way, isn't Zhou Quan from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he should be familiar with the Huangzhuang and the horse breeding, you will hand these over to him and let him count them." As if he remembered something, Zhu Youxiao ordered again.

"Yes, slave and maid." Wang Chengen bowed down, and then went out with the paperwork.

This is actually what it should mean, Zhou Quan has the merit of ventilating the news, no matter what, he should be rewarded one or two, and in this time of chaos in the inner court, the best reward is a send, for the eunuchs, as long as the emperor uses it, it is the best favor.

Holding a large stack of papers, Wang Chengen hurriedly walked to the imperial city, in order to show his hard work and diligence, he did not even bring the little eunuch who did miscellaneous work this time, all of them were done himself. Although Wang Chengen is not very young, since he followed Zhu Youxiao, although he has worked hard, he is also pampered, and his physical strength is not very good, and it is still a little difficult to hold so many documents.

"Princess!"

Just when Wang Chengen's arm was sore and his forehead was sweating, a familiar voice sounded, followed by the sound of a few quick steps, and a pair of thick arms stretched out and took the paperwork in his hand.

"Why is my father-in-law so tired, why don't you see your subordinates."

Wang Chengen looked up, heh, he was really an acquaintance, and it was no one else in front of him, it was the commanding envoy of the Jinyi Guard who had been imposing in recent days, Luo Sigong.

"It turned out to be Lord Luo, thank you Lord Luo for your help." After thanking him, Wang Chengen sighed with emotion, "The saint doesn't like the tired, let alone the mediocre, so he has to be like this." ”

"Oh, that's right." Luo Sigong agreed, nodded secretly, and wrote down this sentence.

"I don't know why Lord Luo entered the palace this time, if there is an emergency, I won't delay my lord." Wang Chengen shook his hand and moved his limbs.

"It's not a big deal, this time I entered the palace for my father-in-law, and I just wanted my father-in-law to ask for advice." Luo Sigong held the book and followed Wang Chengen step by step.

"Oh, looking for a miscellaneous family? Don't know what's going on? Wang Chengen glanced at it a little strangely.

"That's the case, yesterday His Majesty ordered to screen the size of the rebel's case and physical condition, these are easy to say, but when the table is made later, the official is a little confused, I don't know what the form is?" Luo Sigong smiled meaninglessly and said his own question.

"That's right, Lord Luo, please take a look." Wang Chengen smiled, took out a book from the book, flipped through it and showed it to Luo Sigong, and then pointed out the sample.

After arriving at the temporary office of Wang Chengen in the imperial city, he also explained almost everything, and the two said goodbye to each other, and left in a hurry, going on their own errands. Now that things are busy, and the emperor is urging him seriously, the two have no time to greet each other.
