Zhang Heling collapsed on the ground and threw away the book in his hand.

After escaping from the silver mine and returning to the house of Mishima Kiyo's right guard, he survived a dog's life with his ability to tell stories to the Japanese people.

Zhang Yanling washes and cooks for the people in the whole house.

"Brother, let's go back to Daming tonight."

"How do I get back?"

"Go to the silver mine to steal silver, and then take a big ship back, you will definitely bring the news back, and the island country also has a silver mountain!"

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling came to the mouth of the silver mine again.

The miners who came out of the mine were all dusty and unrecognizable.

The two brothers wiped mud on their faces and walked cautiously for fear of alarming others.

They waited for an opportunity to enter the mine.

"Brother, as long as we steal the silver, we can go back to Daming." Zhang Yanling said excitedly.

The echo was like a suona, in the hole, and it sounded again.

Well?

The miners around looked at them and walked towards the brothers with a fierce look, and their mouths were full of groaning.

Zhang Yanling was so frightened that he hugged Zhang Heling.

Zhang Heling kicked over, turned around and ran, and tried his best to sneak into the hole, but was messed up by his pig-like brother.

The two climbed out of the mine, a large hand on the ground.

Seeing that it was the two brothers of the Zhang family again, the right doorman slapped angrily.

"Drag it under the corner and cut off the head."

The two men were tightly tied up and pulled under an earthen wall, ready to be beheaded.

There was a lot of silver in the silver mines, and they were not the only ones who came to steal it, but there were three other thieves.

Knock,

Zhang Heling didn't dare to look at it, so let out a fart first to ease the tense atmosphere.

"We are the lords of the Ming Dynasty, we can't kill them!"

"Yes, you can't kill it, let us go back to Daming, just give silk and tea, not silver."

Zhang Yanling closed his eyes and tightened his face.

"The Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, except for the desperate homeless, which lord will go to sea, and he has not yet obeyed." The right doorman didn't believe it.

Zhang Heling hurriedly said: "Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty is my sister, and those cartoons of your island country were drawn by my nephew." ”

"Full of nonsense, kill them first."

Zhang Yanling's head buzzed.

"Brother, why did you reply to Daming?"

Zhang Heling ignored him and said to the right emon: "You can't buy silk and tea if you carry silver."

Tianjin Port is decided by Shou Ninghou and Chang Ningbo, and Songjiang Mansion is decided by King Ning.

His Majesty sent a guard to garrison it, and every horse boat was equipped with the six Hongyi generals, and if they went, they would destroy the ship.

Unless there is our brother. ”

"Right...... Yes, our brothers, in Daming, we cover the sky with one hand. ”

Uemon hesitated for a moment, then took the steel knife and put it on Zhang Heling's neck, "How to prove it?" ”

"I'll write a letter, you hand it over to the Yan Mansion in the capital, give it to Yan Chengjin, and I'll ask him to arrange 100,000 pieces of silk for you... Not a million horses. ”

Zhang Heling has a good time, anyway, he doesn't want silver to brag.

Brother is really smart, with Yan Chengjin's innocence and kindness, he will definitely come to save us, Zhang Yanling lowered his head and snickered.

……

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, and after reading the sparse performance of the household department, he asked: "The household department, how is the population and land clearing?" ”

Chen Qing looked sad and said, "Your Majesty, it has only been more than ten days, and I am afraid it will take a year to re-liquidate." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was serious, he put down his pen and looked directly at Chen Qing.

Li Dongyang and the others realized that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly lowered their heads.

"How can I wait a year?! One month to Yunnan is enough, two months of cultivated land in Qingzhang, counting the return trip, adding up to only April, how can Chen Qing's family take a year? ”

Chen Qing was speechless and speechless.

Qingzhang land, need to be taken by people to step rulers, one step is five feet, three hundred steps is one mile.

So liquidated.

After the liquidation, it is a great task to go through a lot of calculations and write the recorded data into the yellow book.

"Minister, as soon as possible!" Chen Qingdao.

The hundred officials lowered their heads, each worried.

Chen Qing returned to the duty room with a sad face, and the adjutant sent a yellow book: "My lord, the land of Fangshan and Liangxiang is clear." ”

"So fast?!"

"Yes, Xia Guan specially asked, the engineer of Liangxiang made a new object to clear the land."

Turning over the yellow book, the newly written population and the number of acres of land are as of November 20, the 15th year of Hongzhi.

Chen Qing's heart moved slightly, and he immediately got up from the official hat chair and left the palace to go to Liangxiang.

After the winter, there have always been few people on the official road in Liangxiang, and soon, they arrived at the Yamen of Liangxiang.

"Lord Zhang, this official heard that there is a thing in the Liangxiang Yamen, which can quickly measure the field."

Zhang Xian was puzzled: "If it is not owned by the Yamen of Liangxiang, Master Chen has to borrow it from the School of Science." ”

Chen Qing soon came to the Faculty of Science and found Wang Yue.

Wang Yue refused: "Don't borrow it, Brother Lian, please go back." ”

Even though Chen Qing's quality is higher than him, he is not promoted, nor does he get rich, and he is not afraid of offending people.

After Chen Qing left angrily, he said to Yan Chengjin: "Virtuous nephew, it's right not to borrow." ”

Baiguan is dealing with the hidden field in his hand, and it will take time.

If the time is too short and it is too late to make false accounts, the officials and gentry will definitely spill their anger on the good country.

At that time, Liangxiang College of Science will be targeted.

As the dean of Liangxiang College of Science, Wang Yue naturally has to be thoughtful.

Yan Chengjin looked at Wang Yue, and it was really Lao Jiang.

Even if he doesn't know how much arable land there is, there may be deviations, but it is generally not wrong.

I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to stand it.

"Let's see how Your Majesty is doing."

Chen Qing returned to the palace, held back his anger, and came to the Fengtian Palace: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Yan Chengjin." ”

He has worked with Wang Yue for many years, from the Tianshun Dynasty to the Hongzhi Dynasty, Wang Yue has always been bold.

It must be the cautious imperial history who obstructs it.

Emperor Hongzhi asked in surprise: "What measuring device?" ”

"Minister...... The minister didn't know, but the yellow book of Liangxiang was presented. Chen Qingdao.

Metropolitan Inspectorate, duty room.

Yan Chengjin drew a career plan on paper.

It took four years to rise to the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace.

In the crossing army of the torrent of history, it is extremely stable.

Ming officials have always been limited to three grades, and it is extremely difficult to promote three grades if recommended by the cabinet.

"Take advantage of the clear land, and I will rise by myself?"

While he was thinking, the little eunuch went to the room: "Lord Yan, Lord Chen impeached you, Your Majesty asked you to go to the Warm Pavilion." ”

Warm Pavilion, Yan Chengjin stepped into the hall, and he felt that his body was warm.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Liangxiang made a new device for Qingzhang land?" ”

"Exactly, with this tool, you can quickly calculate the size of the acre." Yan Chengjin is truthful.

"What's it called?"

"Rope ruler."

This thing was invented by Cheng Dawei, the master of abacus, and appeared about 70 years later, and was presented to Liangxiang by Yan Chengjin.

With it, the two quickly completed the measurement.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Ministry of Industry: "Let Yu Heng Qing Officials supervise the construction and send it to all states and counties, I want to see the yellow book soon." ”

The officials fell silent, and no one knew what the outcome would be.

I started to get a little worried.

Yan Chengjin's face was as usual, if the land was cleared, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty would rise, and His Majesty would not always stare at the good country for silver.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is in a hurry, and if he miscalculates in a hurry...... "The officials said half of the matter and didn't say half of it."

Emperor Hongji was also a little worried.

After the yellow books of land are transmitted back from various places, they have to be added up by the household departments, which is a huge project.

Yan Chengjin said: "There is a person in Liangxiang, named Xie Yu, this person is talented in arithmetic, and he has never made mistakes, if he is in charge of liquidation, perhaps, it can be completed in one day." ”
