After repairing in Tianjin overnight, early the next morning, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao went directly to Beijing with more than 100 prefects.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that Yun Zhongwei was coming, so he had prepared wine and food in advance, and after they returned to Beijing, he went directly to the palace.

This banquet was originally a high-level celebration banquet, and naturally it was also attended by the chief officials of several important yamen in the DPRK and China.

Xie Zhi, as the first chief officer of Yun Zhongwei, was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies, and he was Yun Zhongwei's top boss, so he was naturally qualified to participate in this banquet.

"Yun Zhongwei can return victoriously, everyone is indispensable, come, hold a wine glass, I salute you."

Almost all of these people sitting in the Fengtian Temple were from exiles, and they fled to the clouds, and they were fortunate enough to be selected to Yunzhongwei, and they were fortunate to be promoted to hundreds of households, and they never thought that one day they would be toasted by the emperor in the Fengtian Palace.

Originally, he was already very proud when he returned victorious, and this time his pride has increased several times.

"Come on,!" Emperor Hongzhi drank all the wine in his cup.

Then the reward for meritorious deeds began.

Emperor Hongzhi then spoke: "All the soldiers of Yunzhongwei will be added to the three months, and all the chief officers will be promoted to one level, and the commander will be Qi Jingtong to seal the level of Haibo. ”

After Emperor Hongzhi's reward, Qi Jingtong led the chief officials of the Cloud Guard in the Fengtian Hall to stand up and thank him, shouting, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After the reward, it was time to relax and eat.

After pushing the cup and changing the banquet, Qi Jingtong and the others were about to leave.

Qi Jingtong was picked up by Xie Zhi, and he had to ask Xie Zhi if he needed to be advised.

Just when Xie Zhi and Qi Jingtong were saying this, Xiao Jing appeared beside Qi Jingtong and said with a smile: "Commander Qi, Your Majesty announced that you will go over." ”

Yun Zhongwei's strength is obvious, even if Emperor Hongzhi trusts Xie Zhi again, he still needs to firmly grasp the military power in his hands.

Qi Jingtong, as the commander of Yun Zhongwei, naturally needs to establish an absolute connection with Qi Jingtong.

Xie Zhi didn't say much, and directly ordered: "Go, you will be the commander of Yun Zhongwei in the future, how to train you to make your own decisions." ”

Xie Zhi also believed in Qi Jingtong, and it was impossible for him to take Yun Zhongwei with him.

After the banquet, Xie Zhi went directly back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies.

Now that he is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he naturally wants to focus all his attention on it.

In the following period of time, the men and horses sent out by Xie Zhi continued to transmit back the news of various guards.

No matter how big or small the situation is, Xie Zhi will report to all the departments, and as for how Emperor Hongzhi deals with it, it doesn't matter to him.

Emperor Hongzhi's trust is only one aspect, Xie Zhi also has to have self-knowledge and grasp the proportions that should be grasped.

Zhou Xian dealt with the funeral of the princess of Chongqing, and he also had to worry about it, and then the affairs of the Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate also fell on the shoulders of Xie Zhiyi.

Just as Xie Zhi was busy dealing with the affairs of the Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate, the autumn harvest was gradually about to begin.

Due to the mushrooming of workshops in various places, a large number of laborers have been attracted to the past, and many granges are facing the problem of lack in the eyes of labor.

At this time, the more people who own the Grange, the more anxious they become.

"Master, what can I do, those tenants have just run out in the summer, and now it looks like they are about to be harvested, if it goes on like this, the hundred or so acres of wheat in the field will be delayed."

"What to do? Increase the recruitment price, eight copper plates per day. ”

This kind of price is almost catching up with the previous month.

"Master, the Wang family next door has increased to thirteen copper plates a day, and still can't find anyone, the more later, the higher the price is afraid, and it is blamed on those workshops that have risen, where they are calculated by the piece, if you step up, you can earn fifty copper plates a day, even if you are slower, you can also earn more than twenty copper plates."

Not to mention the high price of those workshops, they can also build houses.

A house is a necessity for a person's long-term stability throughout his life, even if the price of these workshops is less, and he has a house, he is not willing to return to be a tenant.

The problems faced at this stage now, the factory guard naturally received some news.

Shortly after Xiao Jing and Mu Bin reported the news to Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Zhi was summoned.

No matter how it changes, food is the top priority.

Now that the grain is facing the problem of not being able to harvest, those nobles who have a large area of land are in a hurry, and Emperor Hongzhi, as the head of the world, is not in a hurry.

Xie Zhi entered the warm pavilion and took the lead in meeting Emperor Hongzhi.

"I don't know what happened to His Majesty's Xuanchen?" Xie Zhi took the initiative to ask.

Xie Zhi has too many things to be busy with, and he doesn't know what Emperor Hongzhi is doing to find him now.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a clear mouth: "The harvest is about to be harvested, and the gentry who own a large number of granges are facing a shortage of labor, do you have any good advice on this matter?" ”

Since it was Emperor Hongzhi who asked, Xie Zhi said bluntly: "This problem should be solved by the imperial court, although the grain is harvested and goes into the pockets of those gentry, but those who can't harvest the grain and can't eat will definitely not be those gentry, and the last person who will face the food problem will definitely be the ordinary people."

Once there is a shortage of food, it is inevitable that the matter of exposing the rod will be inevitable, once it is necessary to use the army, it will inevitably need the support of a large amount of money and grain, and the money and grain of the court will be used to calm the unveiling of the common people, and the money and grain can only be more scarce, the more it is, the more serious the unrest of the common people, the more money and food will be needed.

It's going to be a vicious circle, so in any case, even if all the workshops are shut down, it's important to make sure that the grain can be harvested.

It's just that it's easy to harvest these grains, and the imperial court has to think about how to get some of the established benefits from this aspect.

Another major problem facing the imperial court now is that a large amount of land is occupied by those who do not need to pay taxes, and the grain in the imperial granary is getting less and less.

If you want the court to have confidence, you have to ensure that the world's fertile land can harvest grain. ”

As soon as Xie Zhi introduced it, he chattered endlessly, and Emperor Hongzhi was also patient, Xie Zhi liked to say, so give him enough time.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi said: "The minister thinks so, the court can draw labor from various workshops to assist in the harvest, and at the time of harvesting, the court can pay for it, and the people who need to use these labor will have to pay back with food, and the court will be regarded as collecting taxes from it, which can be stored for emergencies."

In the spring ploughing of the next year, the shortage of labor will still exist, and then the court can fund the purchase of these fertile land, it is better to sell some silver than to waste it, after the court buys the fertile land, it can be planted by the imperial court, and all the harvest of these fertile fields will be in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court does not have to worry about taxes or anything. ”

Since Xie Zhi dared to give advice to Emperor Hongzhi, he had to take into account all the problems that might arise.

Otherwise, if you develop to one place, you can't solve the next problem, and you can't wait for it to fall, okay?

After Xie Zhi's thoughts came out, Emperor Hongzhi nodded and replied, "That's not bad." ”

After a while, Emperor Hongzhi spoke up again: "Just do as you say." ”

After Emperor Hongzhi agreed, there was no need for Xie Zhi to say more.

Xie Zhi retired directly, and now he is not responsible for the affairs of each workshop, what Emperor Hongzhi needs to do, he directly orders.

Besides, those workshops belonged to the imperial court from the beginning, and now that those workshops are on the right track, Xie Zhizi has nothing to help.

From the very beginning, Xie Zhi would not firmly grasp these things in his hands, and he was cultivating people in all aspects.

These hands were cultivated, and they belonged to the imperial court from beginning to end, and never belonged to Xie Zhi's private property.

Now Xie Zhi is too, he will definitely spare no effort to intervene in the things that need to be interfered, but if he doesn't need to worry about it, Xie Zhi will never mix a word more.

If you want prosperity and wealth to last for a long time, you must grasp the proportions of some things.
