Yan Chengjin sat in the sedan chair of Emperor Hongzhi, so hot that he stuck out his tongue, and that's it when the dog was the hottest......

An hour later, I finally arrived in Liangxiang.

Yan Chengjin and Li Dongyang stood by the sedan chair, waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to get off the sedan chair.

Xiao Jing shouted three times, but there was no response.

Yan Chengjin hurriedly opened the car curtain.

I saw Emperor Hongzhi slumped in his seat like mud.

This can't be a death on the spot......

Xiao Jing was scared to pee, and Li Dongyang also panicked, and pushed Emperor Hongzhi without any reaction.

"You...... What kind of sedan chair are you! ”

"Call the Imperial Doctor!"

"Where did the imperial doctor come from in Liangxiang, called the doctor." Li Dongyang is relatively calm.

Yan Chengjin saw an open box on the side, which was a drug, and he was afraid that Hongzhi was curious and smelled it.

The minister has said it four times, you still have to touch it, the people of the Zhu family, they are really curious babies......

Xiao Jing asked the factory guards to invite all the doctors in Liangxiang.

After the doctor saw it, it didn't take long for Emperor Hongji to wake up.

"I'm asleep?"

Yan Chengjin and the others knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Ten thousand deaths!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was in high spirits: "I don't blame you, I haven't slept so deeply for a long time, where is this?" ”

"Liangxiang Yamen." Yan Chengjin Road.

Emperor Hongzhi walked outside the yamen.

The narrow streets, the bustling carriages and shops, and the many vendors on the ground are not as prosperous as the capital, but they are as lively as the capital.

Coming to Liangxiang again, in fact, Yan Chengjin was also taken aback.

On the last night tour of the capital, Emperor Hongzhi saw such a scene and was surprised: "Where have the displaced people gone?" ”

"A grass hut in the southwest of Liangxiang."

Yan Chengjin took Emperor Hongzhi and walked down the street to the end, and then went west, about a mile, and the boiling voices were left behind.

I saw that there are many workshops here.

The ragged homeless people, working hard, saw Zhang Zhixian and hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around: "These workshops can feed tens of thousands of displaced people?" ”

"The first emperor emphasized agriculture over commerce, thinking that farming could feed the people, and there was nothing wrong with this, but merchants could also feed the people, and the workshops paid the homeless people, and although the homeless people had no land, they could also use the labor money to buy grain."

"The workshop pays them seven cents a day, which is enough to feed a family."

The workshop in Liangxiang cannot provide a job for every homeless person.

But as long as one person in a household works in the workshop, the salary he receives is enough to support the family.

Yan Chengjin asked for a ban on relief, just to let Emperor Hongzhi come to Liangxiang.

He guessed that Emperor Hongzhi came this time to see how the displaced people in Shuntian Mansion were settled.

To implement the new commercial system, you must first convince Emperor Hongzhi, and the only way to convince him is to see it with your own eyes.

Today will surely leave a deep impression on his heart.

Li Dongyang asked: "Liangxiang pays new taxes and pays silver, why are there so many businessmen who come to Liangxiang to do business?" ”

"It's up to Master Zhang to talk about this." Yan Chengjin intended to let Zhang Xianlu show his face.

Zhang Xian bowed: "Although Liangxiang implements the new law, the silver received is not much, compared to the silver received, the merchants open shops here to do business, and earn more, so they are willing to come, and even the businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River will come to Liangxiang to procure." ”

The proportion of new tax silver in Liangxiang is low.

In this way, the merchant will not be rejected, and although the income is low, he can actually collect the money.

is an official in the court, and there are many people who do business at home.

If the interests of the gentry are moved, the interests of the ministers of the DPRK and China are moved.

Variations, but no markups.

Before Yan Chengjin implemented the new law in Liangxiang, after careful consideration, he ordered Zhang Xian to change the tax system.

Emperor Hongzhi just noticed Zhang Xian: "You are the parent official here?" ”

Zhang Xian was flattered, and said loudly: "Minister Zhang Xian, it is the parent official of Liangxiang County, Your Majesty is here, the minister wants to impeach two people, one is Ningshou Marquis Zhang Heling, and the other is Changning Bo Zhou Yu, the land of Liangxiang dedication, as many as nearly 10,000 acres, and please ask Your Majesty to call the shots and return these fertile fields to Liangxiang!" ”

Yan Chengjin was taken aback.

Zhang Xian is more reckless than he imagined!

Zhang Heling and Zhou Yu's fields, who approved them? Not yet Emperor Hongji.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and shouted: "You are so bold! ”

Li Dongyang knelt down with a puff.

Yan Chengjin also knelt down.

Zhang Xian's behavior is no different from the people going to Beijing to petition the imperial court.

Zhang Xian is different from him, he is the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, directly responsible for Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Xian is just a small county, under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu, the formal operation should be to report to Shuntianfu, Shuntianfu will then send the sparse performance to the cabinet to vote, and finally approved by Emperor Hongzhi or the celebrant supervisor.

Zhang Xian is good, he directly skips the level and admonishes, and even saves the cost of pen and ink.

""Da Ming Law", if you rush into the honor guard and say that the things are untrue, hang!" Xiao Jing said coldly.

In general, the most common Beijing lawsuit is cane punishment or imprisonment, and if you commit the above article, you will be hanged directly.

If there is indeed a grievance, you will have to serve a prison sentence and be put in prison for a month.

The minister does not like the people to stop the sedan chair to complain, even if the people are justified, they will be beaten to the point of being half paralyzed, and they will not easily choose to petition if they are not willing to risk their lives.

Zhang Xian knelt on the ground, not much panicked, obviously knowing the consequences.

At this moment, Yan Chengjin was serious: "The minister implores His Majesty to go to a place." ”

"Where are you taking me again?"

"Isn't it strange that Your Majesty has no displaced people in Liangxiang? The minister took His Majesty to see it. ”

Although Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled, he was willing to follow him.

Yan Chengjin took Emperor Hongzhi to the southwest corner of the workshop, which was two miles away from Liangxiang Street and was very secluded.

Dense grass huts appear in front of you.

There are many homeless people here, their clothes are not intact, their dirty faces and bright eyes look at them, and they are a little timid.

The unclothed child has a faint stench coming to him, which seems to smell like a courtesy room.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang were stunned.

They thought that with the workshop, the displaced people would live a decent life like the people in the capital, and they would not worry about their livelihood...... Don't eat minced meat?

"As Your Majesty can see, although there are strong men working in the workshop in each household, the wages are only enough to barely make ends meet, and it is Your Majesty who is responsible for all this."

Li Dongyang was shocked, and Xiao Jing almost didn't fall.

Emperor Hongzhi's voice was cold, and he said, "Do you know what you're talking about!" ”

"It's not enough for the homeless people to have workshops, they also need fields, and if they don't have a place to stand, they are still homeless."

"The minister is cautious, not conclusive, dare not admonish, and allow Chang Ningbo Bo and Ning Shouhou to beg, it is yesterday's Majesty, not today's Majesty, and please ask Your Majesty to correct the past mistakes and return the good land to the people of the good township."

These bastards were done by Emperor Hongzhi yesterday, not by Emperor Hongzhi today.

Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's heart suddenly felt a lot better.

Zhang Xian is too reckless, if he doesn't stand up, Emperor Hongzhi will dismiss him at the least, and at the worst he will be flogged with a hundred boards, and then dismissed.

However, I am afraid that this will stimulate the young mind of Emperor Hongzhi.

He was a little worried that Emperor Hongzhi would change into a gauze robe when he went back and start the night wave again......

"Your Majesty?" Yan Chengjin called lightly and asked tentatively.

Emperor Hongzhi was expressionless.

"The minister has a fish scale atlas as proof, and he will never dare to deceive." Zhang Xian said in shock.

Ning Shouhou and Chang Ningbo Bo are relatives, Zhang Xian knows that it will damage His Majesty's face, but he still has to admonish.

There is no chance to enter Beijing on weekdays.

Now that Emperor Hongzhi is in front of him, he doesn't dare to admonish, how can he afford the three words of his parents.

"What Zhang Xian said is true, as His Majesty saw when he came to Liangxiang, there are many fertile fields, and Liangxiang is not barren, but he can't pay enough food every year, just because these fertile fields are in the hands of ministers, and I ask Your Majesty to return them to the people."

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, after obtaining fame, you can be exempted from certain taxes, and exemption refers more to the exemption from miscellaneous labor, and taxes still have to be paid.

The rich man Tian Lianqian Mo is even poor, and the poor land has no cone, but there are many servitudes.

Chang Ningbo Bo and Ning Shouhou do not pay taxes, and Liangxiang is in arrears every year.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "I will investigate thoroughly!" ”

After saying this, Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang returned to the palace.

Zhang Xian knelt down a little ashamed: "The lower officials really have no other way to make this decision, if the good land can be returned today, it is all the credit of the adult, and the minister is for the people of the good township, thank the adult." ”

He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

When I first saw Yan Chengjin, I felt that he was a timid and fearful person, and he also stammered to be the prince of the court.

But when Liangxiang implemented a new tax and merchants gathered in Liangxiang, he found that Yan Chengjin was not an ordinary imperial history.

His Majesty was moved today, not because of his admonitions, but because Yan Chengjin's words hit His Majesty's heart, from strategy to speech, he was far inferior to Yan Chengjin.

"You don't have to be a sycophant, the official doesn't like to hear it."

Yan Chengjin doesn't blame him, he just needs a person with an iron head.
