Da Zheng stipulated that the tax and silver should go to Beijing in April, and it would be escorted by the government soldiers at that time. The tax money does not need to be solved immediately, but the documents reported to the household department still have to be sent. On December 24, the documents for filing tax returns in Huazhou were sent to the Ministry of Households.

Yu Zhijie is very busy during this time, and it is the end of the year, how many of this year's family members are the head of the household to know in their hearts, and the Son of Heaven is waiting for his own report. After the 15th Dynasty, the Son of Heaven asked how many taels of silver there was in the national inventory, and after most of the 27 states in the world implemented the combined taxation into one, the land tax increased significantly, and Yu Zhijie estimated that this year's tax could increase by four or five million compared with last year.

With the exception of the three remote prefectures of Huazhou, Qianzhou, and Shaozhou, the other 24 prefectures had a total of 28 million in taxes, an increase of 3 million over the previous year.

Huazhou, Qianzhou, Shaozhou are all Xiazhou, originally Huazhou was Zhongzhou, suffered a war and fell back to Huazhou, fortunately, Lizhou's population and taxes are growing fast, this year the official document said that the tax can be relieved of 1.1 million taels, it seems that Zhao Tingshi can be promoted to Zhongzhou Assassin History next year. According to the previous year's explanation, Huazhou is about 850,000, and Guizhou and Yun have about 1.2 million together, which should be able to exceed 30 million together.

After collecting an extra five million taels, Yu Zhijie's face did not have much joy, and there was not much left after the annual tax offset expenses, and there were no more than three million taels left in preparation for famines, wars, and unexpected needs. He took over as the head of the household department for more than six years, and worked diligently to sew and mend the seams, and originally accumulated nearly 10 million, but he didn't know that the invasion of Huazhou in the Western Regions shook this bit of family foundation.

This year is generally calm, except for the snow disaster in Huazhou, the places are relatively calm, but the turmoil in the Northern Desert is imminent, according to the Son of Heaven, the Great Khan of Wushi in the Northern Desert will soon pass away, and after his death, the two sons will fight for power, and the war is imminent. Yu Zhijie closed his eyes, and the excited expression of the Son of Heaven appeared in his mind, "...... I want to personally lead the male division, and the desert ...... in the north"

Yu Zhijie showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, Beiding Desert, what about the money and food for the soldiers, the treasury is empty, and he can't even take out the money to repair the inner palace, so what to use the soldiers. Once a war starts with the Northern Desert and goes deep into the desert, the money and grain spent will be a bottomless pit, and this battle will not be fought without 20 million deposits.

The Son of Heaven has always had the ambition to expand the territory, and finally waited for the opportunity, and it was impossible to persuade him to dispel his thoughts, Yu Zhijie felt that his head was tight, and he was about to lose his breath. There is not much time left for himself, only three or four years of preparation, how is it possible to accumulate 20 million taels of silver in such a short period of time? Once the Son of Heaven launches a war desperately, the national tax and no silver will inevitably be levied on the people, and even if the country is shaken even if he wins the Northern Desert War, Da Zheng will hurt his vitality, and he will become a sinner of Da Zheng's demise.

Zhang Zhicheng came in from outside the official office, holding a few official documents in his hand, and said respectfully: "My lord, the official documents for Huazhou, Qianzhou, and Yunzhou have arrived. "Zhang Zhicheng is already an official in charge of the world's farmland tax and the five products. Although he is Weng's son-in-law, he can't be vague in the yamen, and he is official.

Yu Zhijie is worried about Jiang Anyi, Huazhou was newly hit by a military disaster, and then there was a snow disaster, how many taxes can be solved, Yu Zhijie has no bottom in his heart. There are many people in the court who are holding back Jiang Anyi's jokes, when Jiang Anyi asked to open the border market, he boasted that he would increase the tax by 2 million, plus the original 1.2 million, that is, 3.2 million, reaching the level of Shangzhou.

Three million two million, divided into seven or three, should be dismissed from the court of two hundred

240,000, even if the court exempts Huazhou from this year's field tax, minus 300,000 yuan; subtract the 200,000 yuan for snow disaster relief and the 300,000 yuan for misappropriation; It has only been half a year since the new opening of the border city, and the increase of 2 million is only half, and the amount of 700,000 yuan can be subtracted, and Huazhou will have to raise at least 740,000 yuan this year to block the attack.

"You just tell me the number." Yu Zhijie motioned for Zhang Zhicheng to put the official document on the corner of the table and rubbed his temples.

Zhang Zhicheng could understand the pain of his father-in-law, and said softly: "Qianzhou has suffered a flood, and the tax on Shangzhou has been reduced, only 540,000 taels, and Yunzhou can solve 630,000 taels. ”

After a pause, Yu Zhijie's heart lifted, for fear of hearing bad news from Huazhou.

"Huazhou's communication said that it could solve 900,000 taels." Zhang Zhicheng smiled and said the numbers.

"How much?" Yu Zhijie's eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Zhicheng in surprise.

"Nine hundred thousand taels, it is not easy for Brother Jiang Xian to still solve so many taxes after the war disaster and snow disaster. It seems that An Yi is not only a talented learner, but also has a stronger ability to govern the place than others, seeing that he is in Fuluo County, and now he is doing well in Huazhou, which really makes me envious and admire. ”

Yu Zhijie knew that his son-in-law had moved the heart of a foreign appointment, but his two sons were not successful, only this son-in-law was satisfactory and could pass on the mantle, especially as he got older, how could he let Zhang Zhicheng take up the foreign appointment. However, he knew that Zhang Zhicheng was an understanding person and would understand his good intentions, so he didn't persuade him, stood up and pointed to the pile of official documents at the corner of the table, and said: "Zhicheng, the official documents for the tax declaration of the twenty-seven states have arrived, and the Son of Heaven ordered me to report immediately if I have news, and you take the official documents and follow me into the palace to see the Son of Heaven." ”

In the imperial study, Shi Fang really wrote the word "Fu" in ink, and it was a big year, so he wanted to send the word "Fu" written by himself to the emperor's relatives and princes before the year to show the favor of the Son of Heaven. Liu Weiguo waited beside him, he picked it up after the Son of Heaven wrote a sheet, handed it to the little eunuch next to him to dry, he had been writing for more than an hour, and with more than 200 words of blessing, Liu Weiguo calculated that the number was almost over, and it was time to remind the Son of Heaven to rest.

A little eunuch entered the hall and said, "Lord Hubu Shangshuyu and Lord Hubu Langzhong Zhang ask to see him." ”

Shi Fang was really in a good mood, put down his pen, shook his somewhat sour wrist, and said with a smile: "This pair of Weng sons-in-law should be here to report the tax situation, let them come in." ”

Yu Zhijie and Zhang Zhicheng stepped forward to salute, Shi Fangzhen turned his wrist and sat down on the chair, ordered the seat, and the palace maid offered tea, Yu Zhijie and Zhang Zhicheng inevitably flattered the house full of blessings, making the Son of Heaven more and more happy.

"Long live, this year the states can go to the court to solve the tax of 30.12 million taels." Yu Zhijie explained his intentions, and then signaled Zhang Zhicheng to give the tax situation of each state one by one. Shi Fangzhen heard that the tax had exceeded 30 million, and he was in a good mood, and listened carefully to Zhang Zhicheng's report on the tax situation in various states. Zhang Zhicheng knew that the opportunity was rare, not only explained the taxes of various states clearly, but also explained the reasons for the increase and decrease, and the expected situation next year.

"Huazhou is relieved of taxes of 900,000 taels", when he heard the taxes of Huazhou, Shi Fangzhen interrupted Zhang Zhicheng's words and asked Yu Zhijie: "How much is the tax of Huazhou, I remember that the year before last was 840,000 taels, and last year the war disaster was not solved by a penny, this year I exempted Huazhou's field tax, and Huazhou was hit by a snowstorm that has not been encountered in a century, and I was able to solve 900,000 taels of taxes, I heard it right." ”

Yu Zhijie said with a smile: "Long live, the minister didn't believe it when he first heard it, but the source of the tax from Huazhou was listed in detail, mainly from the border city

The growth of commercial tax is huge, in previous years, the commercial tax of Huazhou was about 800,000, and this year it has increased to 1.8 million. ”

At the beginning, Jiang Anyi promised to increase the commercial tax by 2 million when he set up the border city of Huazhou, and all the ministers in the court did not believe it, even Yu Zhijie felt that the disciple's steps were too fast and too fast, and he was afraid that he would fall on his heels, only the Son of Heaven overrode the public opinion and finalized the establishment of a border city in Huazhou, and later Zhang Wenjin and the squire and businessmen of Huazhou impeached Jiang Anyi, and now Jiang Anyi responded to everyone's doubts with real taxes.

"Bring the official document from Huazhou, I want to see it." Shi Fangzhen took the official document and quickly glanced at it, his face flushed with excitement, and laughed loudly: "Sure enough, the business tax is 1.8 million, then it will be at least three million next year, and maybe it will grow in the future, yes, Jiang Anyi, the history of Huazhou Thorn, is really good, I didn't mistake him." Seventy-three points, Huazhou can leave nearly 400,000 taels of silver this year, and I knew that I would not be allowed to borrow those thirty taels of silver. Hahaha, I'm really short of money to spend. ”

Hearing the cheerful laughter of the Son of Heaven, Yu Zhijie stretched out his hand to pinch his beard, happy for his disciple, Zhang Zhicheng sighed in his heart, An Yi's position in the heart of the Son of Heaven became more and more important.

"I want to reward him heavily", Shi Fangzhen put the official document on the table, stood up excitedly, took two steps in the study, and said: "I remember that Jiang Anyi's appointment to Huazhou to temporarily manage the assassin history is an official rank under the fifth grade, and the official department is promoted to the fifth grade, if Jiang Anyi can give me 2.6 million taels of silver next year, I will let him be worthy of the name of the Huazhou assassin history." ”

Yu Zhijie was taken aback, stood up and saluted: "Long live, Jiang Anyi is only twenty-four years old this year, and he is already an official under the rank of Zhengwupin, and he is also temporarily managing the history of the state assassination, although he has a slight political achievement, but it is not good for him to be promoted too quickly." Long live, leaving some room is love. ”

Shi Fangzhen paused and said with a smile: "Yu Aiqing, you have blocked me from being promoted to the top of Jiang Anyi several times, I don't know if Jiang Anyi will blame you when he learns about it." ”

"Long live, Jiang Anyi's private letters to his ministers often mention that the emperor's kindness is deep and cannot be repaid, only to do his best to be loyal to the king, he will definitely be grateful to the minister after knowing what the minister has done."

Shi Fangzhen said with emotion: "Yu Qing's master and apprentice, as well as Weng's son-in-law's loyalty and patriotism, I know very well. Yu Aiqing, what you said is right, the coming day is long, Jiang Aiqing and I still have to leave it to the prince for reuse, don't let him be promoted. ”

Looking at Zhang Zhicheng, Shi Fangzhen said again: "Zhang Qing, your talent is not under Jiang Qing, reluctantly." ”

Zhang Zhicheng bowed down with emotion and said: "The minister dares not to repay the grace of the saint by not doing the work of dogs and horses." ”

Shi Fangzhen thought for a while and said: "Meritorious service is not rewarded for not being done by Mingjun, so let's do it, Liu Weiguo, you pick a good one among the blessing characters, and give it to Jiang Anyi urgently for eight hundred miles, so that Jiang Qing can use it during the New Year." ”

Liu Weiguo's compliments should be, his heart is dark, don't look at a small blessing word, the book of the royal pen is more valuable than the reward of real money. There are hundreds of blessing characters in the house, and most of them are divided between the princes and nobles, and the members of the three grades in the court are also rewarded, so there are only a few left. There are few people who can be blessed in the history of the thorns of the twenty-seven states, they are all old ministers who are old and virtuous, how old is Jiang Anyi, he actually got the blessing of the Son of Heaven, and his future is limitless.

I only heard the Son of Heaven say again: "I also pick one for Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing should be full of enthusiasm, I am optimistic about you." ”

Yu Zhijie and Zhang Zhicheng bowed together and saluted: "Thank you, long live." ”(https:)
