Chapter 52: The Kuotian Office (II)

At this time, a servant walked in and said to Yang Jian, "Master, Duke Du only asked to see him." ”

Yang Jian squinted his eyes and thought for a while before he remembered, and said, "Is Ruzhou Du Gongcai?" Let him in. ”

Du Gongcai is a declining scholar who has repeatedly failed the imperial examination. He was cast to Yang Jian's door as a Xu official, who was originally a scholar, but now he has become a eunuch, so he is naturally unwilling to stop here, but is looking forward to an opportunity to take advantage of Yang Jian's step to the sky.

After a while, a middle-aged scribe walked in, only to see that this person was thin, with small eyes and thin lips, and after walking in, he bowed down and said, "Du Gong has only seen Enxiang." ”

Yang Jian nodded and said, "Du Gongcai, you came to see me late at night, what's the matter?" If there is nothing important, our family can spare you. ”

Du Gongcai smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "I'm here to relieve the worries of the benevolent official." ”

Yang Jian sighed and asked, "I am a great eunuch, and the official family is extremely favored, so why worry about it?" ”

Du Gongcai pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "The worry of the grace is in the Yanfu Palace!" ”

Yang Jian's brows furrowed, and he looked at Du Gongcai seriously and said, "Please speak up!" ”

Du Gongcai walked in front of Yang Jian and said slowly, "The reason why Enxiang is favored is because he presided over the construction of Yanfu Palace, but the original Taishi is in power, regardless of the treasury can be taken out, and now Zhang Xianggong is in power, the treasury is empty, and the construction period of Yanfu Palace has also been delayed. ”

Yang Jian patted the case and said, "That's right, our family is now a good woman and it is difficult to cook without rice, this picture is very good, but compared with the law of the country and the Taishi, it is too different, and now the inner treasury is exhausted, the treasury is empty, the official family is bored, and we are naturally bored as a subordinate." ”

Du Gongcai arched his hand and said, "Grace is loyal to the official family, it is really the sun and the moon can be seen, and the humble position has been locking his eyebrows every day in the past few days, and it is expected that it must be because of this matter, so he has thought hard about a method, and he has come to offer it." ”

Yang Jian sighed and said, "You can come." ”

Du Gongcai continued, "There are three policies for lowly positions, the upper middle and the lower, this policy is that the Grace Prime Minister can unite with foreign officials, and the above said that Zhang Xianggong is wrong, and the official family has long been dissatisfied with Zhang Xianggong, but there is a lack of an introduction, such as the official family withdrawing Zhang Xianggong, no matter who is enabled, will accept the favor of Xiang, so that the treasury can be used again for Yanfu Palace." ”

Yang Jian immediately shook his head and said, "It's not good, this method takes too long, and it's easy to leave people talking, and I am the most taboo to collude with inside and outside, it's not good." "Of course, the most important reason is that the treasury has no money, and Yang Jian is not easy to tell Du Gongcai about this.

Du Gongcai smiled and said, "Zhongce is a letter from Enxiang, sent to Hangzhou to seek rescue from the Taishi, the Taishi has been in power for many years, and there is a lot of money in the belly, and there is the help of the Zhu family, if the Taishi is willing to help, the difficulty of the Enxiang should also be solved." ”

Yang Jian thought about it, in fact, he also thought about asking Cai Jing for help, not to mention anything else, whether it was collecting money or figuring out the emperor's heart, Cai Jingjing didn't know how much higher than him, if Cai Jing was willing to make a move, he might indeed pass this level, but he used his toes to figure out what conditions Cai Jing would propose...

Du Gongcai saw that Yang Jian didn't speak, and continued: "The best strategy is to come up with a new way to collect money for the official family. ”

When Yang Jian heard this, he immediately looked at Du Gongcai and said, "Is there a strategy?" ”

Du Gongcai nodded, but didn't speak, Yang Jian smiled, touched his teacup and said, "Recently, many state capitals have been short of observers, and we look at you well." ”

Du Gongcai hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for Enxiang, Enxiang, since ancient times, the financial road is just agriculture and industry, my dynasty system is different from the ancient, most of the commerce and industry are supervised by the government, and Enxiang cannot issue new taxes, so our eyes should be on agriculture." ”

Yang Jian asked suspiciously, "Those mud legs?" However, the agricultural endowment is the most important to the court, and our family can't even increase the industrial and commercial tax, so how can we move the agricultural endowment? ”

Du Gongcai said with a smile, "We don't want to use agriculture, but to check the fields, which have been hidden by the powerful since ancient times, and these hidden fields are not owned by the public."

Even if there is a land deed, it can also be deduced from time to time, A is taken from B, B is taken from C, and finally there must be a deed to prove it, and this kind of land can also be referred to as public land.

In addition, a decree can be made to refer to public land as public land, where there is a famine, escaping land, abandoned embankments, abandoned weirs, beach retreats, silt land, lakes, etc.

In this way, the public land can be sold or rented to others for a profit. With this huge profit, isn't the money needed by Yanfu Palace easily solved? ”

Yang Jian heard that the case was shooting, and he said to Du Gongcai with great joy, "Good policy, good strategy, worthy of the best policy, Du Gongcai, we want you to come up with a perfect law within three days?" ”

Du Gongcai also knew that this was the last hurdle to test himself, he shook his clothes and said, "I will definitely not disappoint Eun Xiang." ”

Yang Jian snorted, helped Du Gongcai up with a smile and said, "The public has real talents, the official family will definitely not let Mingzhu leave the wilderness, do it well, our family is optimistic about you." ”

- Three days later

Zhao Ji listened to the song, slowly looked at the regulations sent by Yang Jian, and after a long time, he hummed, looked at Yang Jian and smiled, "You dog, you can't get something out if you don't force it, isn't it good?" First, you can thoroughly investigate those hidden fields and relieve the worries of the imperial court; Second, it can also make Yanfu Palace resume construction, I think this is the best method I have seen in the past few days. ”

Yang Jian heard Zhao Ji's praise, his smiling eyes were almost gone, and he said, "If the official family says it's good, it must be good, but this law is a good law, but it's an errand that offends people. ”

Zhao Ji snorted, nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is very true, in this way, I think a new department can be set up to deal with this matter, and this matter will be handled by you." ”

Yang Jian's eyes were almost red when he heard that this errand had fallen on his shoulders, he knew too well how much oil and water there was to be fished, and he said happily, "Please rest assured that the official family, the small one will definitely not disappoint the official family." ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down and do it." ”

Yang Jian slowly retreated, Zhao Ji sighed, stood up, looked at the palatial palaces around him, but felt extremely bored, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, stop, let's all retreat." ”

The band hidden behind the tent hurriedly retreated, Zhao Ji walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and wrote slowly, only to see the iron painting silver hook, and after a while, a song by Li Yu "The Fisherman, the Waves Intentionally Thousand Snows" was printed on the paper.

"A pot of wine, a pole body, a few people who are as happy as Nong.... Not happy, not happy. Zhao Ji lay on the ground with a bang, looked at the high ceiling, sat up for a long time and said to himself, "Hey, this day is really boring.... Everyone said that the emperor was good, but who knew how troubled the emperor was..."

Zhao Ji's eyes were full of loneliness, he did have political ambitions, but when he sat on the throne, survived the Empress Dowager Xiang, and controlled the court with Cai Jing, he found that he had no goal, maybe to destroy the Western Xia and annex the Liao State is a goal, but this goal has been several generations of emperors, and it has not been completed, and it has also fought with the Western Xia a few years ago, and it is easy to win and destroy, in this case, there is no hurry, according to Cai Jing, after several generations of official governance, the country has already been leveled up, so what should he do?

Zhao Ji looked at the ceiling and muttered, "What should I do today?" Is it Keju or painting? Why don't you gather a few people to compose a poem together..."
