Speaking of this, Jian Yong was a little speechless and said: "Those things in the household department are still the old yellow calendar at the beginning of the founding of the country. For more than 100 years, the household department has never really counted how many hectares of land has been reclaimed on the East and West Second Road in Guangnan, let alone how many paddy fields, how many dry fields, and how many sugarcane fields there are. ”

"Guangnan East and West 2nd Road is now taxed, and it is still according to the standards of the pre-Tang Dynasty. Unless the land is re-measured, it will always be a mystery how many hectares of arable land there is now on Quang Nam West Road. If the household department does not take the initiative to investigate, and the Guilin County Mansion is not a fool, will it take the initiative to report? Therefore, the number that Yonggang said can only be estimated, and it is still the lowest kind. ”

"I am afraid that no one except themselves knows how much the kings of Guilin get from the sugarcane fields, orchards, and water and drought fields in Liangguang every year. The household department is not clear, and the transfer division of Guangnan East and West Road is estimated to be a mess. When Yong was in the capital, he met the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road and asked him how the money and grain paid by the Guilin County Mansion every year came from. ”

"That guy told me that how much grain the Guilin County Mansion pays every year is according to the founding of the country. And that transfer envoy, dare to go to the Guilin County Mansion to check the accounts? Lord, how much wealth did the Guilin County Mansion have in the hands of the palace at the beginning of the founding of the country, and how much is it in the hands of the prince in more than a hundred years now? According to the custom at the beginning of the founding of the country, isn't it the same as confiscation? ”

"Originally, the imperial court was in the palace of Guilin County, and there were two divisions of the capital army and the degree branch. The envoy of the degree branch is used to control the royal palace of Guilin County, and the actual annual income is made in order to customize the amount of money and grain to be handed over. The United Army Division is to prevent Annan and Dali from entering Kouguangnan West Road, and it is equivalent to preparing the deputy envoy for the border. ”

"During the war, he led the imperial court seal to cooperate with the king of Guilin County, and led the guards of Qianzhong and Guangnan West Road, as well as the border army of the Second Road, but he was not in charge of the army on weekdays. These two envoys have always been appointed officials by the imperial court. However, when Emperor Gaozong abolished the original empress and crown prince, and changed the policy to establish Emperor Xuanzong as the crown prince, seventy percent of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it, and only the then king of Guilin in Beijing supported it. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the king of Guilin was in the Manchu Dynasty, especially the three ministers in the court, as well as the six ministries and the Imperial Procuratorate, all of whom were resolutely opposed, and the surviving founding nobles fully supported the situation of keeping silent for the sake of Mingzhe's protection, it would be with the strength of Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Xuanzong would almost pass by the position of the prince."

"When Emperor Gaozong was seriously ill, the king of Guilin galloped eight hundred miles and entered Beijing at the fastest speed. He was ordered to take over six of the eight armies of the Imperial Forest to intimidate the kings who were eyeing Beijing at that time, as well as those important ministers in the court. It ensured that after the death of Emperor Gaozong, Emperor Xuanzong could smoothly inherit the unification. ”

"After Emperor Xuanzong's throne is secured, in order to thank the King of Guilin for his support. Not only was the original Guilin County Royal Mansion permanently exempted from the taxes on the fields to which it belonged. It also revised the officials set up by the imperial court in the royal palace of Guilin County at the time of the founding of the country. Although the General Military Division was still appointed by the imperial court, the Duzhi Division was instead elected by the Guilin County Palace. ”

Moreover, the official positions of Changshi and Sima appointed by the original imperial court were revoked, which means that all the officials who were originally used to monitor the royal palace of Guilin County were removed. And clearly customized, no matter how much land is reclaimed on Guangnan West Road, the Guilin County Royal Mansion will never be levied. He also canonized the six daughters who were then the kings of Guilin County as imperial concubines, and allowed the Guilin County Royal Mansion to form a Guilin Wei with 3,000 people. ”

Therefore, since the beginning of the Xuanzong Dynasty, the imperial court has basically lost its restraint on the Guilin County Palace. It is the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road and the prefect of Guilin, if the Guilin County Prince's Mansion does not agree, the imperial court will not be able to appoint smoothly. The only difference between the current Guilin County Mansion and those vassal states is that it has no military power except for Guilinwei. ”

As for the rest of the roads, sixty percent of the tea farms on Fujian Road are controlled by the Guilin County Palace, especially the most expensive Tieguanyin tea producing area, which is in their hands. It is the rest of the tea farms, and the annual tea sales are also controlled by them. In addition to the tea field, Fujian Road also has the Longquan kiln belonging to the Guilin County Palace, and the celadon produced is worth thousands of gold in the east and west. ”

"Liangzhejiang East and West Road, Jiangnan East and West Road, because it has been a wealth since the former Tang Dynasty. In this dynasty, the control was strict, and the clan was strictly forbidden to occupy land there. The situation is slightly better. However, almost all the famous tea producing areas are equally controlled by the Guilin County Palace. The so-called scaring incense, the prince should already know. ”

However, although the Guilin County Royal Mansion does not occupy a large amount of land except for the tea plantations. But in the two Zhejiang have Deqing kiln, Hangzhou kiln, Jiangnan West Road has Jing kiln, the production of black porcelain, celadon, white porcelain, as well as blue and white porcelain, not only in the east and west of the two oceans are very popular, of which blue and white porcelain even in this dynasty also occupies half of the country. ”

"Jiangbei kilns, in addition to a few official kilns of the Ministry of Industry, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Hebei Zhulu kilns, it has been extremely difficult to survive by it. Jiangnan porcelain market is in the hands of the Guilin County Palace, and the porcelain merchants in Jiangbei have no way to intervene. And because the blue and white porcelain produced by it is extremely sought after, Jiangbei is also controlled by more than fifty percent. ”

In addition, the right to trade with foreign countries is in the hands of the Guilin County Palace, and their porcelain cannot be sold abroad at all. Although there were also smuggling from the coast of Shandong Road to Liao, Dongying, and Goryeo, both in terms of quantity and scale, they could not be compared with the two treaty ports of Guilin County in Guangzhou and Quanzhou. ”

"Even the Cizhou kilns of Minghe during the pre-Tang Dynasty can only fire some coarse porcelain used by ordinary people to make a living. Although our dynasty repelled the Tibetans, it was never able to recover the Western Regions. The entire Western Regions is now under the control of the Uighur Khanates, and the land Silk Road has never been opened. All the porcelain from the Jiangbei kilns could not be exported at all. ”

"In addition to porcelain and tea gardens, the two Zhejiang and Jiangnan have always been the main production areas for our dynasty to grow mulberry and silkworms, as well as silk. In addition to a large number of silk weaving workshops of its own, the Guilin County Royal Mansion also controlled the silk industry in the entire south of the Yangtze River. The king of Guilin has monopolized the right to trade for more than 100 years, and the silk weavers in the whole world dare not look at their faces? ”

"The royal mansion of Guilin County, the annual tax paid is equivalent to thirty percent of the income of the imperial court. It can be said that if the Guilin County Mansion sneezes, the court will catch a cold. If the Guilin County Mansion has a cold, the imperial court may be suffering from an incurable disease. Especially now, the annual income of the imperial court is decreasing, and the annual tax of the Guilin County Palace is particularly important. It can be said that the imperial court can't play without them now. ”

"Yong has already marked all the properties of the Guilin County Mansion that Yong knows on this map. However, this is also something that Yong knows and understands. Yong had been working in Fujian Road before, and he still had some understanding of the business situation of Guilin County Wangfu in Fujian and Guangnan East Road, but he only had a general understanding of his situation in Jiangnan East and West Road, Liangzhejiang and Lianghu. ”

After listening to Jian Yong's introduction, Huang Qiong turned the rosary in his hand, and muttered for a long time, but said, "When did your father give you the holy decree?" What else is required of the holy decree other than for you to tell the king about these things? Also, according to your statement, Guilin County Mansion is not only rich in the world, but also rich in the sea. ”

"These things, unless you have deliberately understood them, are difficult for ordinary people to grasp. It can even be said that you simply can't collect so much without your support. This king does not think that those documents of the household department can be read at will from the same knowledge of the four products. It's a fish scale book, that is, as a prince, this king has no right to look at it. ”

Regarding the question raised by Huang Qiong, Jian Yong did not hesitate to answer: "Back to the prince, Yong received a secret decree. It was on the same day that this large map was delivered. Along with the secret decree sent, there are also those things from the household. The reason why Yong was delayed for a few days was because he had to access the household documents sent to him, so he was delayed for a while. ”

"Yong has been working in Fujian Road for many years, and he has also served in the transfer department in charge of finance. During his tenure in Fujian, because of the tea plantation of the Guilin County Palace, Yong also deliberately learned about the situation of the Guilin County Palace's industry. It is precisely because of some understanding that it was discovered that the Guilin County Mansion has formed control over the entire merchants and even industries in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Yong is worried that in the long run, it will be extremely harmful to my Daqi. Therefore, when Yong was in office on Fujian Road, he once wrote a secret fold to the emperor specifically for the matter of the Guilin County Palace. Although Yong is only an ordinary civil official, he has the right to fold secrets. It's just that not long after the secret fold was folded, Yong didn't know for what reason, and was transferred to Zhengzhou Ren Tongzhi. ”

However, the emperor didn't say much in the secret decree, just let Yong tell the prince what he knew. As for any more, the emperor didn't say anything. The emperor did this, although Yong didn't know what the reason was, but Yong thought that the emperor also realized what Yong was worried about, and he was afraid that he would have to deal with the Guilin County Palace. ”

Looking at Jian Yong with a frank face, Huang Qiong understood something. This Jian Tongzhi was transferred from Fujian to Zhengzhou, and I am afraid that it was also a means for his emperor Lao Tzu to play. If it is according to what he said, the palace of Guilin County is on the East and West Road of Guangnan, and the Fujian Road is really such a big force. He went to secretly investigate someone's house as a Zhizhou, where can he really hide it?

His own emperor Lao Tzu transferred him to Zhengzhou, I am afraid that the first purpose was to protect him. If he was still working in Fujian Road, I am afraid that his head would have been gone long ago. The rich man in this world, is he really clean under his ass? And that rich man, really not afraid of checking? What's more, the royal mansion of Guilin County can almost be said to be a wealthy tycoon in the sea?

With their power, they quietly killed a Wupin Zhizhou, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to make a wave. It was precisely because the emperor knew this that he transferred this bold Zhizhou to the interior. It's just that his own emperor Lao Tzu didn't expect that this guy was not ordinary bad luck. It has only been three months since he took office, and he has been involved in such a rebellion.

The head that the emperor had painstakingly saved almost did not die at the hands of his own son. If it weren't for himself who quelled the rebellion this time, he would have taken over the puppet prefect of Zhengzhou at the last moment, and the dismissal of officials and the people would have been the lightest. Don't look at the officials who are really rebellious, they may not lose their heads after the rebellion is quelled.

But he, the acting prefect of Zhengzhou, saved the people of Zhengzhou, I'm afraid this head may not be able to keep it. It is good for others to rebel or coerce, but after all, they have not really openly participated in the rebellion. He took over as the prefect of Zhengzhou appointed by King Jing, although there was a reason for the incident, but he could just become the scapegoat for those officials who really rebelled. There is no better place to carry the black pot than him.

This guy should be glad that this counterinsurgency came on his own. If there is a second person, I'm afraid his head will have already moved. As for the second purpose, I am afraid that the emperor is determined to deal with the Guilin County Palace, and it is estimated that it will not be a day or two. How can others snore on the side of the couch, this is a common problem of emperors in previous dynasties, and his own emperor Lao Tzu may not be exempt from vulgarity.
