In February of the third year of Hongzhi, many places in Henan were hit by heavy snowfalls, and there was no harvest of agricultural grains.

However, the world is not peaceful, so the autumn grain of Henan has been exempted, and the land of Nangi and Huguang has been subjected to continuous rain, and I am afraid that the agricultural products will still not have a good harvest.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yu whispered slightly, "Lord Shangshu Jia of the household department asks for a meeting." ”

Zhu Youzhu was a little impatient when he heard this, sighed lightly, put down the notebook in his hand and raised his head, and said, "Pass."

Zhang Yu obediently glanced at the guards guarding the gate of the palace, and then saw Jia Jun, the head of the household, approaching in a panic.

Just before he stepped to the bookcase, Jia Jun was already on the ground, and said quite worriedly: "Weichen Jia Jun, see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youzhu frowned deeply, and replied in a deep voice: "Jia Qing doesn't have to be polite, get up."

"Your Majesty," Jia Junshi was just standing up, and Zhu Youzhu took the lead and said, "Jia Qing is here for the tax and grain after the autumn in Nangi and Huguang?"

"Yes," Jia Jun was slightly surprised.

Zhu Youzhu breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, "Nangi, I have heard about the natural disasters in Huguang, since the people are suffering, then this tax and grain will be exempted."

Jia Jun was naturally overjoyed, his face was a little sad, and he was about to kneel down to thank the people on behalf of him, but he heard Zhang Yu say, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."

Zhu Youzhu was slightly stunned, frowned at Zhang Yu, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yu replied: "Two days ago, Henan's taxes and grain were exempted, and now if Nangi and Huguang are exempted again, I'm afraid it will be the end of the year." The treasury will be empty. It's empty. ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't think about this consequence, and as soon as the disaster in Nangi and Huguang reached his ears. He was already thinking about what to do, even if the treasury was empty. It is not more important than the food and clothing of the people of Li!

Moreover, if taxes and grain are not exempted, I am afraid that the people's grievances will not be settled, and this matter will be like a broken bamboo, and there is no room for delay.

"If you still have to collect the surplus, it will not be like the people getting sick."

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yu leaned forward slightly, glanced at Jia Jun, and then leaned closer to Zhu Youzhang's ear. He said in a low voice: "What if the treasury is empty?"

Zhu Youzhu didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "In the spring ploughing in March, I ordered the world to prepare warehouses to store grain, and the amount specified by the residents' organization was as much as it was, and if it was not enough, it would be punished for the crime of bullying the king!"

Zhang Yu stopped saying more and responded silently, and Jia Jun also retreated when he saw the situation.

Zhu Youzhu held his forehead with one hand, and seemed to be tired. only asked, "The queen didn't come over today?"

"Yes."

"Go to Kunning Palace!"

The sandalwood of Kunning Palace is full of incense, which makes people's hearts quite peaceful.

"The concubine thinks that what Zhang Yu said is not unreasonable," Zhang Junyu said here. Zhang Yu was naturally happy in his heart, and his eyes always looked at Zhang Junyu from time to time, and his eyes were slightly admiring.

"Now the world is peaceful. But this year, there will always be a few places that encounter natural disasters. Either a flood or a drought, it is really not prosperous. If the inside is empty at this time; Nothing, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to allocate money and food for disaster relief in the future," Zhang Junfang spoke, and the strength of pinching Zhu Youzhang's shoulders was consistent, neither light nor heavy, and it was the most fascinating.

Zhu Youzhu frowned, his eyes were fixed on one place, and he said very calmly: "I haven't thought about this matter, but the top priority at the moment is to comfort the people.

"Your Majesty inspected the interior a few days ago, and once told his concubines that the money and grain in the interior are not more than one-fifth of those in the time of the first emperor, and now they are exempted from taxes and grain in the land of large households. ”

Zhang Junfang didn't dare to speak out, because she was afraid that she would displease Zhu Youzhang, but now that she has said it, she really saw Zhu Youjiao's face displeased, and moved her body, obviously reminding her to keep her mouth shut.

Zhang Junfang naturally understood this move, and no longer talked about it, but said: "Your Majesty is tired?"

Zhu Youzhu responded lightly.

Sure enough, the companion is like a tiger.

"The concubine is waiting for Your Majesty to rest."

"No," Zhu Youjiao's words were slightly cold, "I have to go to the Fengtian Temple in the morning later." ”

Zhang Junyu then said: "If you don't have time to rest, you still need to take a break."

Zhu Youzhu didn't look back at her, he stood up directly, twisted his eyebrows and said, "No need."

Zhang Junyu's face was slightly worse, slightly aggrieved, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty is complaining about the concubines and concubines?"

Zhu Youzhu was stunned when he heard this, then turned back, took Zhang Junzhen's hand, frowned, and said, "No, how can I blame you."

Zhang Junzhu was silent, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her frowning, and hurriedly took her into his arms and comforted: "Recently, the state affairs have been busy, and I can't spare myself to accompany you, plus I am physically and mentally exhausted, and my mood is inevitably impetuous, so I didn't mean to be cold to you."

"Don't blame Your Majesty," Zhang Junyu also felt a little remorseful, and said, "The concubine is only able to speak...... There was also some collision. ”

Zhu Youzhu was relieved a little at this time, smiled happily, and said: "By the way, I know that you have been restless lately, I'm afraid it's caused by thinking about people, so I recalled the person you miss back to Beijing two days ago, I don't know if you will be satisfied by then?"

Zhang Junyu couldn't help but be puzzled for a while, and he was afraid that what Zhu Youzhu was referring to was talking about Yifeng, so he was shocked and suspicious, and was stunned before asking, "Who is it?"

Zhu Youzhu pretended to be profound, raised his lips and smiled, let go of his embrace and said, "You will know when the time comes."

As soon as Zhu Youzhu mentioned the person she missed, the first person Zhang Junyu thought of was Tan Yifeng, and she didn't know why, the person she missed the most, it should be the family who was still in Xingji, not Tan Yifeng.

But she just remembered to talk about Yifeng, could it be that the person who has been hiding in the depths of her heart all the time is really talking about Yifeng!

Back to Beijing...... Back to Beijing...... It's really him!

But what Zhu Youzhu said was the person she missed, if it was really about Yifeng, but there was another meaning beyond the words......

At that time, Zhang Junfang seemed extremely uncomfortable, she avoided Zhu Youjiao's gaze, turned around and sat down in front of the soft couch, and said angrily: "God is mysterious."

Zhu Youzhu also sat down with her, and said with a doting smile: "I want to surprise you."

"I'm afraid it's not frightening."

"Fright?" Zhu Youzhu sneered, "You think I'm you?"

"What's wrong with me!"

"You're always scaring me."

"I didn't learn from you, I didn't learn from you, I didn't enter a family."

(PS: For the matter of duty-free grain, please refer to the "History of the Ming Dynasty. A paragraph of "Filial Piety Sect", the original text is like this: "February Renchen, avoid Henan from being affected by the autumn grain." On the first day, the household department asked for exemption from the tax and grain of Nangi and Huguang. Shang said: 'The righteousness of the fierce year should be the loss of the upper and the lower. They will want to make a profit, like the sick. 'Obey it. On the occasion of March Bingchen, he ordered the world to prepare a warehouse for the accumulation of millet, and the number of miles was the difference, and those who did not meet the quota were guilty. ”

The approximate meaning is: February 10, Henan will be exempted from the disaster of autumn grain. On the 12th, the Ministry of Household requested a reduction or exemption of taxes and grains in Nangi and Huguang. Xiaozong said: "The evil year should be at the expense of the upper and lower levels." If the surplus must be collected, it will be like a people who are sick. "All agree to the reduction. On 4 March, he ordered the whole world to prepare warehouses to store grain, and sentenced the residents to the number of the prescribed amount, but not the amount. (To be continued.) )
