"Look at the newspaper, today's special issue, look at it!"

Near the Sanli River, a young man with a newspaper in his hand ran and shouted wildly, his face full of surprise.

"Mongolia has surrendered!"

"It's the pseudo-yuan, they surrendered!"

"My Ming Dynasty has added thousands of miles of territory, and my emperor is mighty!"

"My emperor is mighty, Daming is mighty!"

The Royal Politics Academy in the south of the city, the Military Academy was boiling, countless people were shouting wildly, even doctors and professors couldn't help it, and some people ran to raise the national flag and sang loudly under the national flag.

Meng Yuan has always been a thorn in the Ming Dynasty, this thorn has never been pulled out in the change of Tumu Fort, and it is getting deeper and deeper, and now, it has been completely removed!

Even ordinary people know the battle of defense during the Yingzong period, which was a humiliating battle that completely wiped out the previous glory of the Ming Dynasty!

"Long live my emperor!"

In all directions, the southeast, northwest, and northwest are boiling like a tsunami, resounding through the sky and the earth, and roaring like a hurricane, sweeping the entire capital.

In the Ministry of Rites, a group of Langzhong, Wailang, and Waiters walked into Shangshu Shen Xun's class, each of them looked excited and couldn't help themselves.

"My lord, I'm thinking about giving it to the emperor...... Performance, this year to Mount Tai Feng Zen, I don't know what adults want? Yao Qizhi, the right attendant, stepped forward and said eagerly.

Mount Tai Feng Zen, this is not a trivial matter, the emperors of all dynasties went to Feng Zen, there are only two things, one is 'please sin', the other is 'invite merit'.

His Majesty the Emperor today's martial arts have far surpassed Taizu Taizong, naturally he will not go to 'ask for sin', at this time, he will naturally make a wish to heaven and earth to invite merit!

Shen Xun was reviewing the 'Jingzheng Grand Ceremony', looked up and saw a group of people crowding in, looked around, and said calmly: "You all have this idea? ”

He Zhizhou, the left waiter, raised his hand and said, "My lord, I have been suffering from disasters for more than ten years, and the morale of the people is low, so I can take advantage of this opportunity to boost people's hearts and boost morale, which is really a ...... with one stone."

"Yes, my lord, since the emperor ascended the throne, there has been no formal sacrifice to heaven and earth, and there is a lack of etiquette, and now it is just time to make up for it."

"My lord, the lower officials think it is very true. The emperor doesn't like fame and fortune, but there are some things that have to be done, and the emperor needs to be reluctant to do it......"

"Sun Ge will return to Beijing in the near future, if we take the opportunity to play together, please go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, but also pray to the heavens to hang the curtain of my Ming people, grace will rain and dew ......"

Shen Xun's expression was unmoved, and he was slandered in his heart. Where do you see that His Majesty the Emperor is not good for fame and fortune? Are you really not aware of the rumors out there? What is the reluctance?

Although he was slandered in his heart, Shen Xun did not speak, because he knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor of the Qianqing Palace stood taller than them, and his means were more clever, and he would not be as these people expected, so he couldn't wait to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

Too revealing traces, too rigid in form!

When the excitement of this group of people calmed down, Shen Xun said: "Well, you guys sign it together, this matter can't be a matter of my Ministry of Rites, I will go to the Ministry of Industry later." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to their senses, Shen Xun is a Shangshu, so naturally he wants to co-sign with the six Shangshu.

"Yes, I'll see." Yao Qizhi and the others raised their hands, all of them smiling tacitly.

Shen Xun watched the group of people leave, shook his head, and was a little speechless.

As more and more people are recognized for the 'New Deal', the situation in the government and the opposition has changed silently but quickly, and I don't know how many people are rushing to pat the court and the emperor's sycophants.

Shen Xun already has a bunch of recitals at hand, all of which are given to him by everyone in the opposition, famous Confucians and some former and current officials, all of which praise the emperor's merits and virtues, praise the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, and martial arts...... These beautiful words made him a little embarrassed to watch.

Shen Xun put these recitals aside, he believed that not only him, but also the six Shangshu, the cabinet, etc., were estimated to have received more, and then there were the most celebrants.

The cabinet is indeed as Shen Xun expected now, King Jing took more than a dozen playbooks, walked out of the class room, walked to Sun Chuanting's class, and said with a wry smile: "Bai Gu, do you guess whose playbooks I received?" ”

Sun Chuanting put down the pen, picked up a pile and put it on the table, and said: "The three pavilion elders in the Wanli period, the four Shangshu in the Apocalypse year, let's compare?" ”

King Jing laughed and said, "Mine is not bad, the joint recital of the sixteen princes of the clan, the joint recital of the thirteen princes, and the eldest uncle of the queen's mother, Li Niangniang's uncle......"

Sun Chuanting's eyebrows jumped, this is really better than him.

Wang Qiaonian appeared behind King Jing and said: "Baigu, Wangye, except for me, all the officials above the fourth grade in Dali Temple have jointly signed a request to the emperor to implement the 'new policy' and promote the reform and improvement of Dali Temple......"

Sun Chuanting was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "It's still your Dali Temple that is smart." ”

Wang Qiaonian smiled bitterly and shook his head, now all departments of the imperial court are overwhelmed by these similar scripts, so he doesn't know what to do.

King Jing smiled and said, "I don't care about it, the emperor must have known about it for a long time, let's pick a few better ones later, and send them to the celebrant supervisor, Gonggong Liu, Gonggong Cao naturally knows how to do it." ”

Sun Chuanting agreed, and said: "Let these things go first, the emperor will probably not go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and now it is still this year's summer grain." ”

Speaking of which, King Jing and Wang Qiaonian both looked slightly gloomy, this year is the first year of the implementation of the 'New Deal', 'the officials and gentry pay grain in one', this matter has caused chaos in the locality, and as the summer harvest approaches, it will become bigger and bigger.

Wang Qiaonian said: "I have received hundreds of letters, all of which are in charge of Dali Temples in various places, and they say that some landlords have used clever means to avoid taxes. Some tenants sued the landlords for grain arrears, some prefectures and counties used the pretext of grain arrears over the years, and some even set fire to the farmland...... This is still a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and in Shaanchuan and other prefectures and counties, the local government either asks for relief on the grounds of lack of youth and strength, or colludes with bandits and loots to ask the imperial court for disaster relief...... It's really full of tricks, and it's ...... do everything."

These are all various reasons to sue to Dali Temple, in a lawsuit, delayed, so they were collected and reported collectively.

King Jing looked solemn and said: "The Governor's Yuan is also there, and I don't know how many copies and letters have been received from all over the country, all of which say that this year's natural disasters are serious and the grain production has been seriously reduced, and I hope that the imperial court will not levy taxes for the time being. I sent some officials to check and report that they were all dried up for thousands of miles, and there was not a single seedling for a hundred miles, and there were even those ......who did not hesitate to harvest in advance and deceived the inspectors."

These Sun Chuanting naturally also received the report, his face was calm, and he said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, the number of prefectures and counties that have reduced or exempted grain taxes has been as high as hundreds, and the treasury of the imperial court has long been bottomed out. ”

At this time, Bi Ziyan walked out from behind King Jing and Wang Qiaonian, and said, "What do you say about the recitals of the governors of various places?" ”

When Sun Chuanting and the others saw that Bi Ziyan was coming, they all turned to him, and Sun Chuanting said: "Jiang. Su, Zhejiang. Jiang, Huguang and other places have already come up, but they are still a little powerless, and they have some control over the prefecture and county. A few senators also put on the motions, hoping that the imperial court would delay it for two or three years, and when the 'new policy' was implemented below, the control over the local government would be greatly increased, and then the taxation would be improved, and then it would be a matter of course, and it would be easy to ......."

Such a reason seems to be very right, how is it not another kind of procrastination, and there will inevitably be a new excuse in a few years!

Bi Ziyan's face was indifferent, and he said: "The emperor told me before that he was going to set up a law enforcement team under the Governor's Yuan, which was specially used to deal with taxes. Take a look first and then build, if necessary, assemble! ”

In recent years, natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty have continued, nothing can grow on the ground, and the people have resisted taxes quite a lot, so it can be said that most of the civil uprisings came from this. But now they are talking about the law enforcement team, but it is not, he is aimed at the 'gentry' class.

It is foreseeable that this body will attract a storm before and after its formation.

Sun Chuanting naturally realized the danger, thought about it, and said: "Then let's take a look first, Sun Ge Lao has already led troops into the customs, and the 'military reform' will inevitably advance rapidly, if someone makes a big move, you can use this to deter you fiercely!" ”

Bi Ziyan nodded, and then said, "You are staring at the State Administration of Taxation, they gave me a list, it is said that I can have an income of 50,000 silver this year, and there will be more in the next few years, do you think it is true or false?" ”

Sun Chuanting knew that Bi Ziyan did not like businessmen, in addition to his disgust for businessmen who 'bought low and sold high, and got something for nothing', he also believed that the relationship between the Donglin Party and these businessmen was inextricably linked, and the decay came from this, and he was deeply disgusted.

Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment and said, "This is outside the International Trade Temple, and judging from the taxes and silver paid by the International Trade Temple over the years, most of them are true. ”

The International Trade Temple, also known as the Huitong Commercial Bank, has now been severely suppressed and has been 'administrative', and its profitability has been greatly reduced.

Bi Ziyan nodded calmly and said: "The treasury is decreasing day by day, if there is a supplement, it is also a good thing to regulate the merchants, but you still have to watch, don't let them be too indulgent." ”

Sun Chuanting understood and said: "Now that there is a lot of excitement outside, to praise the emperor, does the cabinet want to say something?" ”

Bi Ziyan waved his hand decisively and said: "The emperor is not a person with a good name, you summarize the progress of the recent 'New Deal', and I will go to the Qianqing Palace to talk to the emperor in the evening." ”
