Zichen Hall under the sun, the golden glazed tiles shine brightly, the vermilion doorpost is solemn, and the samurai with guns and swords are ten steps and one post, and their faces are solemn, like the pines on the left and right in front of the hall. The courtiers who entered the hall through the white jade bridge were steady and self-conscious, and it was the lifelong desire of many officials to enter the Zichen Hall and enter the pavilion.

Li Haogu, the secretary and the right supervisor, presented the four books of the music invited by Jiang Anyi, the assassin of Shanghua Prefecture, and Shi Fang Zhenluo looked through them, and he had already learned these contents from Jiang Anyi's secret performance.

Signaling Liu Weiguo to read the four seals, Shi Fangzhen asked: "Let's discuss one by one, reopen the Salesian orphanage, what is the opinion of the secretaries?" ”

This is a good thing to warm the world and win the hearts of the people, all the ministers agreed, Shi Fangzhen asked Yu Zhijie: "Yu Qing, do you estimate how many silver taels you need?" ”

Yu Zhijie quickly calculated in his heart and said: "I am in 1,939 counties in Dazheng, and most of the people live a stable life and are self-sufficient in food and clothing. ”

A smile appeared on Shi Fangzhen's face, Yu Zhijie is a direct minister, he said this shows that Liu Weiguo did not deceive me yesterday, most of the world is still stable, and my people are still living and working in peace and contentment, and living happily.

Liu Weiguo looked at Yu Zhijie with gratitude, and saw how much Master Yu could talk, how could he teach a "stunned" apprentice.

"Jiang Anyi's people are displaced, and the situation of selling children and daughters does exist, mainly after suffering from military rebellion or major drought and flood, there are no omissions in the court's disaster relief, and when the manpower is exhausted, it is also a helpless thing."

Shi Fangzhen nodded and said, "Yu Aiqing is right, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven, so I intend to allow Jiang Anyi to play and reopen the Salesian Orphanage." The treasury is empty, and there are many places to use silver, so Yu Aiqing has to bother. ”

Everyone cast envious eyes at Yu Zhijie, the Son of Heaven is hard, this is a saint who can't be bought with money.

"It is the duty of a minister to devote oneself to the king's affairs." Yu Zhijie bowed down and said: "Reopening the Salesian orphanage does not require too many silver taels. The people of the rich land do not need to be rescued, but the state and county can be used as a surplus of silver for backup, like the state and county that has just gone through the war, like Huazhou, with 800 wen per person a year as the base, it is only 10,000 taels of silver, and the whole world is at most 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Shi Fangzhen's spirits perked up, he originally thought that he would want one million taels of silver, if he could win the hearts of the people in the world by spending 200,000 taels of silver, this account would be cost-effective. Immediately issued an order: "The states and counties will reopen the Salesian orphanage, adopt the people who are single and orphaned and cannot survive on their own, provide food and clothing, and make every order sufficient, so that the old can die and the young can support themselves. ”

All the ministers bowed down in unison, praising long live benevolence, and the Son of Heaven had a smug look on his face.

Let's discuss "Playing Shi Yi's Director Shu". Lu Jialin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said with a smile: "Jiang Anyi was born in Zechang Academy, and the minister remembers that Yang Zhixi, the sage of Zechang Academy, has a wide theory of 'learning without getting tired of learning, and seeking four things', and Jiang Anyi is speaking for his ancestors." However, the minister thinks that those Hu people in the Western Regions have nothing to learn, I am a great Zheng people, and I have been learning inexhaustibly for thousands of years, so why should I learn from those barbarians. ”

Lu Jialin's words attracted many people to nod their heads in agreement, and even Shi Fangzhen felt the same way.

Chen Chengji had inquired about the situation in the Western Regions from the officials of Guanglu Temple in advance, and knew that the Western Regions produced fine horses, grapes and wine, gold and silver utensils, precious stones, pearls and jade, spices, and woolen fabrics, all of which were very expensive in the Eastern Market.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven intended to veto this omission, Chen Chengji bowed down and said: "The minister is very much in agreement with Master Yang's learning, he has an endless life to learn, I have a wide range of knowledge, but it does not prevent the integration of the strengths of all Yi, the minister thinks that this matter can make Jiang Anyi act cheaply, and it is gratifying to have gains, and there is no harm in gaining nothing." “

"Chen Xiang has become a ruler of the country, and this matter will be decreed by the Middle Academy to Huazhou according to Chen Xiang's intentions." Shi Fangzhen made the final decision.

The next thing to discuss was "Playing the Military Tun Yubian Shu", and the Son of Heaven ordered the generals of the Taiwei Mansion and the Zhuwei Mansion to be present. When the martial artist stood up in the court, he suddenly felt that the Zichen Hall was a little smaller, and the civil officials felt deep pressure.

The etiquette of the generals was a little lacking, and the sound above the hall was like a bell, which shook the newly pasted fine veil on the window lattice, and soon the approving and opposing quarreled together, and it was impossible to hear who was saying what at all.

Shi Fangzhen slapped the table, stopped the quarrel, and secretly thought in his heart that he had made a mistake, he knew that he shouldn't have called this group of martial artists to come, and what kind of mess would it become. Taiwei Zhu is very old, and he has rarely appeared in the court, and it was Zhu Zipu who was present, and Shi Fangzhen's eyes fell on him.

Zhu Zipu knew that the Son of Heaven had a bad impression of him, and he easily refused to speak up during the discussion, and when he saw the attention of the Son of Heaven, he had to respond: "Long live, the military tun has been there since the Warring States period, and the minister has been in the Anxi capital for nine years, in fact, it also makes the old and weak soldiers in the army self-sufficient, especially the lack of vegetables and vegetables in the army, if only the court supplies can not supply the whole army of 160,000 people." And the lack of vegetables, the soldiers are prone to illness and reduced combat effectiveness. Not only the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but in fact, the four major Metropolitan Protectorates are self-sufficient in Tuntian. ”

"How many people are in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?" Shi Fangzhen asked.

"There are about more than 10,000 people in the Anxi Prefecture who are farming, and some veterans are reluctant to return to their hometowns, so they simply settle on the spot and make a living by farming and trafficking." Zhu Zipu saw that the face of the Son of Heaven was not good-looking, so he replied stubbornly.

Shi Fangzhen had already known from the Longwei report that the four major protectors were growing vegetables in Tuntian, but he didn't expect that there were more than 10,000 people in the 160,000 army in Tuntian, and this was only played by Zhu Zipu, and the real number of people was probably doubled. The court spends nearly 10 million taels of silver every year to raise the army, and this group of soldiers actually planted the land, why should I recruit soldiers if I want to farm the land, and I can collect more taxes if I farm the land directly at home.

Holding back his anger, Shi Fangzhen glared at Zhu Zipu, and did not intend to dwell on the matter of Tuntian, so he directly ordered: "Huazhou is the power of many battles, and the military tun and the imperial border are the best policy, and the four major metropolitan protectors will hand over the old and weak soldiers to Huazhou, with a limit of 50,000 people, and it will be completed within five years, and the required travel expenses will be solved by Huazhou." The specific matters were drawn up by the Ministry of War and sent to the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Zhu Zhipu left with all the military generals, and calm was restored in the court, and there were still four chapters left in the "Song Invitation to Huazhou to Establish a Border City in the Western Regions". The trade of the Western Regions is the main trade of Dazheng to the outside world, and many princes and ministers in the court have business contacts with the Western Regions. Don't talk about others, they are the imperial relatives of the Son of Heaven, and they don't know how much benefit they get from the trade of the Western Regions every year.

If a border city is set up in the Western Regions, the goods entering the Western Regions will increase exponentially, and the scarcity will be expensive, and the profits of each family will be diluted a lot. Seeing the ministers oppose passionately one by one with full reason, blushing and spitting, leaving Sven behind for the sake of silver, Shi Fangzhen still despised the rudeness of the generals just now, and the scene at this moment made him laugh dumbly.

The court fell silent, and Shi Fangzhen's indulgent laughter wafted through the hall. The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what the Son of Heaven was laughing at. Liu Weiguo saw that Shi Fangzhen's face began to turn flushed, and knew that the Son of Heaven was angry. It was difficult to make a sound in the main hall, so I had to cough softly. Hearing Liu Weiguo's cough, Shi Fangzhen slowly stopped laughing, and at this time, the ministers also saw that something was wrong, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Jiang Anyi wrote in Fuluo County's "Songchang Lou Ji" Zhuqing have read it, the sentence in it, 'The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world' I don't know how Zhuqing feels, I don't dare to ask Zhuqing to worry about the country and the people and the world, but at least you must be worthy of the court's wealth."

After that, Shi Fangzhen rose up and retreated. Liu Weiguo hurriedly shouted "retreat from the dynasty", and hurriedly chased behind the Son of Heaven, and all the ministers in the hall bowed down to the empty tables and chairs, and the mountain shouted "Long live".
