Chapter 527: Eight Things in the Mansion

At this time, Kaicheng Bo Bian Xue walked into the Zhengde Hall from the outside, although Bian Xue was one of the elders of the Senate, but the senators did not have to participate in the early dynasty, so Bian Xue had been waiting outside the door, when he saw Zhang Kuan, Zhang Kuan also saw him, the two saluted, Zhang Kuan said: "In the future, the court needs to bear more than the Bian people, so as not to provoke the people's resentment boiling." ”

Seeing that the other party's words were provocative, Bian Wen also said unceremoniously: "I still need a lot of reminders from my uncle, the younger brother is only shallow in learning, embarrassed to be a big responsibility, embarrassed to be a big responsibility." ”

Zhang Kuan sneered: "I didn't expect that one day it would be you to be the left minister, I knew that today, I should have let you have more contact with some twists and turns." ”

Bian Wen asked, "Uncle is afraid that I won't be able to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Kuan said: "I'm not afraid, I'm sure." ”

Bian Wen said: "That's no way, after all, now I'm the left minister, and you're just an idle elder, don't you say?" ”

Zhang Kuan snorted coldly and turned to leave, while Bian Wen walked into the hall with a victor's smile and became the "head of a hundred officials". Of course, this head of the hundred officials is somewhat unworthy of the name, because everyone knows that the real head of the hundred officials is the young central commander.

Bian Xueshang came and said: "The minister has a request, Your Majesty was originally scheduled to canonize King Zhao as the crown prince on the second day of the first month of February, but suddenly encountered the rebellion of King Jin, there was a fire in the palace, and the losses were heavy, and even the queen mother was killed in the fire. The reason is that the King of Jin was angry when he saw His Majesty appointing King Zhao as the crown prince, and even made a crazy move of poisoning the King of Chu and entering the palace to rebel. The minister thought that the ceremony of canonizing King Zhao as the crown prince should be held immediately, and the principle of speed and simplicity should be followed to stabilize the national system. ”

Hu Ting, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "What day does the left minister think? ”

Bian Xuedao: "On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, the day when the people of the world are happy, it is the auspicious time of the prince's ceremony, and my saint and Han are happy, isn't it fast?" ”

Hu Ting said: "Although it was a little hasty, the Ministry of Rites did its best to complete it. He then turned around and asked, "Lord Central Order, do you have any other opinions?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "You lords, the junior ministers dare not make sense, Your Majesty has me as the central order, but because of my loyalty and bravery, not my ability to deal with the government." Therefore, in the future, when the government is handled, the younger generation still has to consult other central governors, and also ask all the seniors to discuss state affairs and wait for His Majesty to recover his health. ”

On the tenth day of the first month of the third year of Dade, the first newspaper of the imperial court spread all over the world, and about eight things were released:

The first thing, the king of Jin united with the ministers to rebel, killed into the palace, was resisted by the crown prince Shaobao Zhang Xiaowu, and then Zhang Xiaowu led the troops to quell the rebellion, killing most of the traitors, now issued a chase order, all the state capitals, counties and towns need to work together to track down the whereabouts of the Jin king's traitors.

The second thing is that Zhang Kuan, the left minister, told the old man to return to his hometown, and the open and honest Bobian learned to serve as the left minister, and he was the general leader of the world's hundred officials.

The third thing is that the imperial court set up a central government to assist the emperor in managing the military and political affairs of the empire, and Zhang Xiaowu served as the central commander.

The fourth thing is that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a ceremony will be held to canonize the crown prince, and King Xuanyuan Chenghua of Zhao will become the crown prince, that is, the crown prince.

The fifth thing is that the emperor was injured because of the thief, and he sought good doctors from all over the world to treat the emperor's illness, and if there was a doctor who treated the emperor's serious illness, a reward of 100,000 taels would be awarded to the marquis.

Sixth, due to the boiling of public discontent, the reform of the tax law was suspended, and the land that had been inventoried was registered, and the land that had not been inventoried was retained.

The seventh thing is to confiscate all the net worth of the traitors of the Jin Dynasty, including people, livestock, property, houses, mines, merchants, fields, etc., and all of them will be nationalized.

The eighth thing is that due to the impact of the plague, the grain harvest in various parts of the Shenghan Empire failed, so Dade exempted all field taxes and agricultural taxes in the world for three years, and restored taxes in four years of Dade.

These eight events affected the entire Shenghan Empire, and also gave hope to the people in their hard lives, especially in the severely affected areas in the north. For the people in Jiangnan, they are even more grateful, they are caught in the dire war, and when they learn the news of the lack of food next year, they have hope for life.

The reason why Zhang Xiaowu dared to be exempted from land tax and agricultural tax next year was because he had received a lot of goods in this operation to seize and oppose thieves. As a result of the supervision of the Yinyi Guard, there were more than 80 officials involved in the whole case, so the confiscated property was innumerable, but the amount of silver alone reached 7.3 million taels, the land reached 800,000 mu, and the rest of the gold, silver, treasures, antiques, and extravagant things were innumerable.

Zhang Xiaowu finally understood why the imperial court was so poor, it was because all the money was in the hands of the ministers, the officials were rich and the country was weak, how could the Holy Han Empire not be in trouble? He suddenly felt that this Holy Han Empire was a bit like the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, where the court officials had a lot of money, but they didn't want to take out a penny for the emperor's use, so that Emperor Chongzhen continued to raise salaries and taxes, and finally the world was in turmoil, which also led to the complete demise of the Ming Dynasty. In the north, there were only 800,000 people in the whole people, and all the men between the ages of 14 and 50 of the Manchurian, Meng, and Han Eight Banners were collected to gather the 180,000 Houjin army, and they destroyed the Ming Empire in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Emperor Dade is not Chongzhen, he was not stubborn, and he was not deceived by the civil officials below, he chose to believe in Zhang Xiaowu, and it was precisely because he believed in Zhang Xiaowu that he was lucky to survive. And Zhang Xiaowu is a resolute person, the reason why he persistently tracks down the anti-thieves is not that he really wants to find the murderer, he just wants to confiscate the family property of these 80 officials.

Seven million and 3,000 taels of silver is enough for the imperial court to use for three years.

Another reason why Zhang Xiaowu is confident that he does not need to collect land tax and agricultural tax is that he will encourage business and develop business in the future, and collecting commercial tax is far more lucrative than collecting agricultural tax.

The right minister Xiang Rui was disgusted by the scholars because he proposed the reform of the tax law on behalf of the Great Emperor, but fortunately, the reform was suspended, and his next task was to encourage merchants and introduce various policies that were conducive to merchants, and the right minister's mansion began to get busy again.

Although the emperor could not handle political affairs, the seven people of the central government maintained the political situation of the imperial court very well, and even their efficiency far exceeded that of Emperor Dade. The wisdom of the seven people naturally surpasses that of the Great Emperor alone, and these seven people are the seven smartest people in the world. Of course, among these seven people, Dushan Boye Xiangdong was still in Jiangnan, and Zhang Xiaowu also sent his henchman Ruan Qingwen as an envoy as soon as possible, and rushed to Yuezhou with his letter and a bounty of 500,000 taels of silver.

Finally, on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xiaowu left the palace for the first time and returned home to rest.

He was "rested", under the persuasion of Wang Yijin and others, Zhang Xiaowu had to go home to rest for the night, although he didn't want to go home to rest, but he also knew that everyone was advising him out of kindness, so he returned home in the evening, the Hou Mansion of Hejian.
