"If the country is not enough, it will be plundered by the people, and if the people are not there, it will be plundered by business, and this only dare not agree."

In the main hall, a person was talking, facing the saint present, full of Zhu Zi, although he was only wearing a scarlet robe, he was not cramped at all, and after a pause, he continued.

"Since the establishment of the Ming Division, the merchants who have been contracted are roughly Goryeo and Wa Kingdom, and in the fifth year of Xianchun, Goryeo was not captured in the north, and the country was cut off from tribute. In the next few years, the Yuan people attacked the Japanese, the sea was sealed, and the trade route was difficult. ”

"How much did the Mingzhou Division tax revenue last year?" Xie Shi behind the curtain waited for him to pause for a while and asked out loud.

"Hui Sheng, the tax revenue of Mingzhou in the tenth year of Xianchun is about 287,000 yuan, which is less than half of the peak time." Liumengyan has a very good memory, and he doesn't need to go through the account books of the household department, just come with one mouth.

"That's it, that's it." Xie nodded, I'm afraid that this year's situation is not as good as last year, and if the income is subtracted from the income of the officials in the department and various daily expenses, if it is already beyond the means, then it can only be a way to remove.

Because the Empress Dowager opened her mouth to consult, the question was interrupted, and the official who was doing the work saw that the hall suddenly became quiet, and he didn't know whether to continue for a while, so he turned his eyes to the Pingzhang military affairs Wang Entropy, who was sitting at the head, and the latter waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement coming from the curtain, and turned around and gestured to him.

"In the Baoyou years, he was in charge of the distant land, and he went to Qiongzhou in person, which was the throat of the east and west, and the north and south, and as far as the big food, Zhu Yuan and other countries. Every August and September, the merchant and passenger ships have to enter the port for repairs and transit, and now it has become a common practice. ”

"What's your name?" After a pause, another question came from behind the curtain, and the official who was performing the event was obviously unprepared, and was a little stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he get dressed and salute.

"The Ministry of Punishment has only seen the Empress Dowager in the matter." He said respectfully.

Today's deliberations were held in the Chongzheng Palace, and the participants were all high-ranking officials above the squire of various ministries, mainly to solicit opinions on national politics and build yì, Zeng Wei himself did not expect that a recital would be openly discussed in front of the sage, and it seemed that he still attached great importance to it.

He was born in Taixue, and like Chen Yizhong and Huang Yong, he was one of the "Six Gentlemen of Baoyou" back then, and when he was exiled, he was counted as the farthest away, and he was the only person in the palace who had been to Qiongzhou, so even those who wanted to refute this remark could not cite a more practical example than him.

Of course, his experience can't be hidden from others, Wang Entropy knows very well that this person has nothing to do with Chen Yizhong, this move should not be instructed by him, and he deliberately pointed it out, and it also implies that he is in financial distress, even if it is "a dead horse as a live horse doctor"?

"Zeng Wei, do you think that if the imperial court sets up a division in Qiongzhou, how much tax can be collected in a year?" Xie then asked.

"Hui Sheng, I said in the book that with the geographical advantages of Qiongzhou, the port was really opened, and the income in a year was not stingy with millions of Yao, and no matter how much, I would not dare to say anything." Zeng Wei was prepared for this problem.

This number caused a discussion in the hall, if you really cut a Mingzhou Division with an annual income of less than 300,000 yuan, and exchange it for a new division of about one million, no one will not understand such a simple conversion, but the question is where did he get such a big confidence?

The Xie family behind the curtain is indeed a little moved, the biggest benefit of this construction is not the increase in numbers, but that it does not disturb the people, so that the biggest obstacle can be eliminated in the first place, that is, public opinion.

Wang Entropy and the others did not agree or oppose, they understood the stakes better, the city and the division directly traded with Zhufan, and the interests between them were complicated, and the people involved behind it were even more unimaginable, and even whether they themselves had any clansmen involved in it, it was not clear whether they were involved, this was by no means a simple matter.

Seeing that the three ministers of the political hall all chose to be silent, the officials of the various ministries who had discussed it gradually quieted down, and in the face of the sudden silence on the main hall, where did the Xie family not understand, this was all waiting for her to make a decision.

"That's all for today." Xie Shi waved his hand, what was said in it She didn't know very well, how could she go to the light of yì to call the shots.

Liu Mengyan, who was about to walk out of the main hall, didn't expect that he would be stayed, the book was proposed by Wang Entropy, and he was the same year as Chen Yizhong, so he couldn't say anything about his turn, looking at the thoughtful eyes of the two, he really couldn't figure out why the saint was this?

"Is this possible, as far as you can see?" Xie Shi, who walked out from behind the curtain, did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

"It's feasible, it's not just feasible, it's going to be implemented immediately." Liu Mengyan said categorically, there was no impartiality and muddy appearance in the past.

"Why is that?" Xie Shi glanced at him in some surprise.

"Does the saint know that Akaji has been dismissed?" Liumengyan arched his hand.

"When did it happen, why did the old body have no impression?" Xie Shi was a little puzzled, although this kind of thing was not a big deal, it must have to go through his own hands.

"The minister also figured it out just now, does the sage still remember that when the Duke of Xin Guo took over the position of Hai Division, he attached a letter of resignation?" Liu Mengyan shook his head a little helplessly, Wang Entropy's actions today were also very strange at first, and then he suddenly thought of this layer.

The imperial court has approved Ye Mengding's invitation, that is to say, in terms of the system, the Qingyuanfu City Bo Division, which is commonly known as the Mingzhou Division, does not exist at all, and it is impossible for the imperial court to immediately restore it, so it is imperative to play the quasi-Zeng Wei.

Then, Liu Mengyan simply memorized Ye Mengding's diction, he is a prodigy, he has had the ability to never forget since he was a child, and after memorizing it, Xie Shi realized that his fellow played a word game, of course, she would not have thought that this was intentional.

"I see, then do you think that Zeng is the only person, can it be used?" Xie Shi nodded and continued to ask.

"Grace comes from above, and it is not for the minister to put his beak, but the minister thinks that if he is used, he must set a number, and it should be based on what he wrote, and if it cannot be reached next year, he should be punished for the crime of lying and speaking."

After being polite as usual, Liu Mengyan said an idea, he didn't want to be too involved, so he responded to the saint and cleared himself.

"Well, as you said, but the number of millions is too much, when the Mingzhou Division was at its peak, how many were it?" Xie Shi heard his little thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

"This minister remembers that it is 700,000 yuan." Liu Mengyan thought about it for a while and said.

"Let's just use this number, after you go down, you will draw up an edict, Zeng Wei will add the household servant, promote the secretary of Qiongzhou City, and go to the post immediately." Xie Shi took his words and said without question.

"Obey the parables." Liumengyan secretly smiled bitterly, so he couldn't get out of it, anyone would think that it was his recommendation, Zeng Weicai jumped into the purple suit.

Qiongzhou is a remote place, ordinary officials will not be willing to take up posts, although the city department is beneficial, but now it is newly established, who knows what the result will be. Therefore, this position is very suitable for Zeng Wei to do it by himself, if he can really open up the situation, there will naturally be a competition at that time, and that will be a later story.

"Peace talks with Yuanren are imminent, you say, where is that kid Liu Yu now?" Liu Mengyan was considering the wording of the edict, and he couldn't help but hear Xie Shi say this, "That kid Liu Yu", in the mind of the sage, is he already close to this? He couldn't help but be a little stunned.

In the new house in Zhonghu Village, Ninghai County, Liu Yu had just gotten up from the decadent feudal life, and he kissed his sleeping little wife on the face lovingly, twisted the quilt for her, and then resolutely got up.

"Gentle Township is a hero's mound", last night's toss, or because he was worried about his wife's young age, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, even so, he now feels a little sore, but seeing Jing Niang's sweet smile, it's okay to work hard, or how to say "Xiao Beisheng is newlywed"?

"Go and rest for yourselves." Tingchao, who was awakened by his movements, put down the feather fan in his hand, and was just about to come forward to wait, Liu Yu waved his hand and said.

There is no air conditioner and electric fan in this time and space, so the rich family came up with such a solution, and all night, four big girls came in turn to repel mosquitoes and cool off their husband and wife, and they had to respond quickly if there was any movement, which was really evil.

Liu Yu didn't want to popularize the great ideals of equality of all living beings, which would be difficult to achieve in later generations, if you didn't let them do it, they would think that they had been demoted, etc., of course, things like sleeping are forgotten, and now he has not fallen to that point.

"Xing Qian, it's hard for you to take the land route, if there is any change in the Jingshi, please contact at any time, and your family will set off in about two days, and we will see you in Lin'an Mansion then."

At breakfast, Liu Yu asked Yang Xingqian to take two personal soldiers first, and he himself wanted to go to Qingyuan Mansion with Ye Mengding, and then take a boat from there to Lin'an along the canal, which was also the most convenient and comfortable route.

Yang Xingqian nodded, if he wasn't worried about the safety of the owner, he would have returned to Beijing on his own, and after leaving for so long, he didn't know the situation over there. No one knew what the rules of the imperial court were for the peace talks, so he had some worried looks on his face.

"I've thought about it these days, Lao Taishan is right, anyway, it's going to be discussed, there is no more suitable person than so-and-so, since the Yuan people want to drag, so-and-so will play with them, but I want to see, what do they use to ransom people?"

The idea of his subordinates Liu Yu knew in his heart that this peace envoy was just a temporary mission, and once the peace talks were completed, it would be over, anyway, there was no other good choice, so let's do it first, at least the level has been raised.

"I understand, don't worry, the affairs of the Jingshi will be taken care of, but if the lady comes, do we want to buy another house?" Yang Xingqian arched his hand and prepared to say goodbye to him, it was still early, the sun had not yet risen, and it was a good time to hurry.

It was a very simple question, but Liu Yu was asked, his wife has a mansion in Lin'an, and she also mentioned that she might as well live there. But when I grow so big, I haven't tasted soft rice yet, from it or from it? Liu Yu was a little entangled. R1058
