Chapter 143: Another Great Harvest! 2/3
"A good harvest, another great harvest, more than last year, oh my God, I have never seen a full foot of rice grains, this grain..."
"God bless Great Wei, God bless Great Wei!"
"Dawei has a bumper harvest, and it is getting better and better every year!"
"Haha, I've made a fortune, so much grain, I don't know how much it can be exchanged, and when this batch of grain is sold, I'm going to build a big house!"
"Haha, I have the same intention!"
With the 700% bonus of the system, the grain output of the entire Wei State is twice that of last year, and hundreds of people are excited about it, and they are full of strength when they work.
In a few days, the people of Wei State harvested the rice and began to dry the grain, dry the water, and wait for the imperial court to send someone down to buy the grain for money and build a big house!
Wei had another bumper harvest, which caused countless neighboring countries to be shocked, shocked and envious at the same time, and there were countless people with red eyes!
On October 20, the thirteenth year of Zhengyun, he was exiled from the city, the palace, and the Taizheng Palace!
Wei Li sat high on the royal chair, his face was calm, and the civil and military officials stood under His Royal Highness, with a hint of a smile on their faces, today's court meeting, Gongsun Xin and many other generals are also here!
"King Qiqi, this year is another bumper harvest, twice as much as last year, God bless Great Wei!" He Qiu bent over with a smile on his face.
"Yes, it's another bumper harvest, and the official doesn't know what to say!"
"Now I am a great Wei, with strong soldiers and horses, abundant grain and grass, and great national strength!"
"It's all the credit of the king, the king's mandate of heaven, descended to the Great Wei, and got the help of heaven!"
The civil and military officials said with a smile one after another.
"Okay, Meng Aiqing, report on your efforts in the past few months, and in addition, how much grain tax has been paid by each county!" Wei Li waved his hand and shouted softly, his expression unshocked.
When Meng Ge heard this, he immediately stood up from the civil official queue and bent down respectfully to make a compilation; "Your Majesty, in the past few months, the ministers have recruited a total of 180,000 hungry people, and now all of them are the people of Wei, and now there are a total of 660,000 people in Wei, of which the young and strong population accounts for 160,000!"
"This year, Qinghe County handed over 1.7 million stone grain, Nanyang County handed over 1.4 million stone grain, Nanjun handed over 1.26 million stone grain, Zhengnan County handed over 1.2 million stone grain, Xihe County handed over 1.27 million stone grain, and the five counties handed over a total of 683 stone grain, which is three times that of last year!"
When Wei Li heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, as he expected, he would be able to collect about five million stones this year, but he didn't expect to receive nearly seven million stones!
"Your Majesty, the treasury now has 930 stone of grain, 4.5 million taels of silver, and 86 million copper coins!"
After Meng Ge finished reporting, He Qiu also stood up to report.
Except for the 6,830,000 yuan collected in the grain tax, the rest of the grain was transported by the Wind Country and other countries to exchange for silver.
"Whew!" Wei Ya exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and was quite excited in his heart, with so much money and food, it was enough to support several big battles!
"King Qiqi, according to the regulations of Zhou Tianzi, the subordinate countries must pay tribute to the suzerain, I don't know how much grain the king is going to pay tribute to the Feng country?"
At this time, the pawn Tian Nan stood up and asked.
Wei Ya fell into deep thought and paid tribute.... To be honest, he didn't want to pay tribute, because paying tribute was a shame for him, but the form was different, plus the Feng State was friendly to the Wei State, although the Wei State was a subordinate country of the Wind State, but the Wind Country had never put on the shelf of the suzerain.
"Tribute 100,000 taels of silver, Tian Aiqing, I'll leave this matter to you!" Wei Yacai was arrogant.
"One hundred thousand taels? Your Majesty, is it too much? He Qiu said with a painful face.
Although Wei has money now, every penny is also money, not to mention 100,000 taels, 100,000 taels is almost the national grain production of a sub-male country compared to 340,000 stone of grain.
"Lonely this 100,000 taels, how can it be so easy to take, lonely desire to go east, once you go east, it is inevitable to destroy the Zhu Kingdom and the Min Kingdom, these two countries are subordinate countries of the Wind Country, these 100,000 taels can be regarded as a kind of compensation!" Wei Li said in a deep tone.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, if this time the tribute is only paid one hundred and two thousand taels, and then the Wei State destroys the two subordinate countries of the Wind Country, it is strange that the Wind King is not angry.
Hearing Wei Ya's explanation, He Qiu finally understood the deep meaning of the king, and then retreated to his place without saying a word.
At this time, a man at the end of the civil official was wearing a dark blue "??" The courtiers in the patterned court clothes walked out with a pleading expression, and bent down to Wei Ya to make a compilation: "Your Majesty, the ministers have the courage to speak out, begging the king not to make up murders!" ”
This person has reached the age of the sixtieth birthday, the temples are white, the back is hunched, the face is haggard, with a sad and pitiful artistic conception, this courtier, named Kong Ren, the official Taizhong doctor, the copper seal white ribbon, the age of one hundred and twenty taels!
"Presumptuous!"
Without waiting for Wei Ya to speak, Ting Wei Li immediately stood up and scolded, while Wei Li watched with interest.
"Kong Gong, you have been an official in the court for more than 40 years, this official respects the elders, and respectfully calls you Kong Gong, but you slander the king for making and killing in vain, forgive this official for being ashamed to call you Kong Pifu, you don't explain it clearly today, hum, you are not finished with you!" He snorted coldly, his face was quite unkind.
"Yes, it must be explained clearly, otherwise, this official will impeach you!" He Qiu also said coldly!
"Kong Gong, I don't know where the murder in your mouth came from? Since the king's accession to the throne, he regarded the people as his beloved sons, and often opened warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the people. Meng Ge also stood up and said, but compared to Qian Ling and He Qiu, his tone was calmer.
For Kong Ren, Meng Ge is more respectful, not because of Kong Ren's ability to respect, because of Kong Ren's character, worthy of Meng Ge's respect, Kong Ren, worthy of the name, very benevolent, usually as long as he sees the hungry and homeless, he will take out the money to help, without trying to reciprocate, and no matter what someone commits, he will not punish, will verbally educate, lead people to goodness.
The rest of the hundred officials also looked at Kong Ren, with unkindness in their eyes, now what they have is won by war, if they don't fight, what are they playing, especially the generals led by Gongsun Xin, they are even more unhappy.
Faced with the questioning of the court officials, Kong Ren did not panic at all, his face was calm, and then he said unhurriedly; "The king is a holy monarch, the old man admits it, but the holy monarch does not mean that he will not make mistakes, since the king ascended the throne, a total of five wars have been launched, the battle of destroying the south, the battle of exterminating Qing, the battle of Sheng, the battle of Weilu, the battle of Wei Yue, and the battle of destroying Zheng!"
PS: "Ladies and gentlemen, we also have diplomatic relations in Wei, can you help promote it, this king thanks you kings, support a little recommendation votes, and a little reward support, to ensure that my Great Wei dominates the world and opens up eternal peace!" ”
