It seems to have just passed.

On the morning of the next day, the holy decree was issued, Ge Shouli added the title of prince and young protector, showing that he had been an official in the court for decades, loyal to the monarch and the country, and another document was issued to all over the world, and the land of Shenzhou was aware of this, Ge Shouli showed indifference to this, neither showed any anger, but also did not see any happy look, it was completely calm.

Zhang Fan had already prepared for this, but Zhang Fan was prepared, which did not mean that the other ministers would agree with it like this, they were still extremely angry about what happened to Ge Shouli, after all, although the honor of Prince Shaobao was extremely glorious, but in the final analysis, there was nothing at all, and therefore, while they sympathized with Ge Shouli, they also hated Feng Bao and Zhang Ju.

But since even Ge Shouli, the person who was in it, didn't say anything, it was not easy for others to interfere anymore, after all, since Ge Shouli even said such excessive and slanderous things to Zhang Juzheng, he tolerated it, and it was not easy for others to meddle anymore.

But Zhang Fan knows something else, after the morning dynasty that day, he deliberately went to find Zhang Juzheng and talked about it, during the conversation, although Zhang Juzheng's performance was the same as before, and he didn't show anything, but Zhang Fan can always feel some guilt in it, it seems that although Zhang Juzheng said those words for many things, now this look is also the demerit he wants to get, but obviously, Zhang Juzheng is not a little guilty in his heart, and he got the news, To be honest, even Zhang Fan felt a lot better in his heart.

However, Zhang Fan also had a question in his heart, he talked to him at Ge Shouli's house yesterday, and at the end, he heard Ge Shouli spit out the word "but", he knew that Ge Shouli must have something else to say.

However, just when Zhang Fan wanted to ask, he saw the expression on Ge Shouli's face that he didn't want to talk about anymore, so Zhang Fan didn't ask why in the end, but he always had a question in his heart, feeling that Ge Shouli seemed to have something in mind, and it had something to do with the fact that he no longer wanted to step into any disputes.

From the next day onwards, Zhang Fan would sometimes go to Ge Shouli occasionally to talk, and in his conversations with him, Ge Shouli would always talk about his hometown, intentionally or unintentionally, and sometimes talk about the correspondence between him and his old friend Yang Bo.

At the beginning, Zhang Fan didn't feel anything wrong with these situations, plus the time has gradually passed for another three months, Ge Shouli has always been like this, Zhang Fan just didn't take it to heart, and now it's June, Luo Ling'er has been pregnant for eight months, plus she has been pregnant for eight months, plus she has made this pregnancy extremely difficult because of some previous things, although with the help of Wang Youcai, the imperial doctor who owes Zhang Fan a life, now it seems that Luo Linger wants to give birth to a child smoothly, And it is not a difficult thing for the mother and child to be protected, but this pregnancy still consumes too much of her vitality, Zhang Fan is very troubled by this, so recently he has returned home to accompany Luo Linger whenever he is free, so that she can relax her mind and not be too nervous.

Therefore, although Zhang Fan has always been very confused about Ge Shouli, he has not paid much attention to it, but he has gradually begun to have an idea in his heart.

Indeed, Ge Shouli during this period of time was a little unusual, often mentioning things in his hometown, and although his body was still good, the fatigue on his face was undoubtedly revealed, therefore, Zhang Fan also had some awareness, firstly, Ge Shouli's age was older after all, and secondly, maybe Ge Shouli had the intention of regressing.

Regarding the fact that Ge Shouli is likely to return to his hometown, although Zhang Fan is a little reluctant in his heart, he is not too entangled in this, in his opinion, it is better to let everything naturally be the best, and during this time, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are busy with other things, and they have not mentioned that they want to liquidate anyone in the court, or they want to find trouble with Ge Shouli, so Zhang Fan is relieved.

Speaking of Zhang Juzheng, he has been very busy recently, not that there has been anything in the DPRK and China recently, but Zhang Juzheng is busy with his ambitions, yes, it is a matter of the New Deal.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Fan has also paid a lot of attention, during this time, he has also met with Zhang Juzheng many times to discuss together, and now the political situation in the court is also stable, and the matter of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng in charge of the government has also become a fact, although the officials in the court still have a lot of things that they disagree with, but this fact has been accepted by everyone.

Now, the conditions are ripe, and Zhang Juzheng naturally has a plan.

But although there is a plan, but how it should be done, to be honest, there is no explanation.

Now the imperial court is stable, the people hesitate to open the sea ban, and now whether it is tax or life or something is also good, let Zhang Fan notice that with the opening of the sea ban, the Ming Dynasty has more and more people realize the huge benefits brought by going to sea to promote business and trade, and there are more and more people who have done this business, although no matter which line, once there are more people, everyone must get a lot less, and therefore, mutual means, suppressing opponents is also often happening.

This matter should not have been taken care of by the imperial court, but Zhang Juzheng still specially asked people to sort out some laws for this reason, and to be in charge of these things, Zhang Juzheng's move, to be honest, is mixed in the court, some people think that Zhang Juzheng's move is very good, so that those businessmen who do not know etiquette and religion and are led by profit-seeking have a law to follow, but some people feel bad, and feel that Zhang Juzheng is nosy, and those businessmen want to be more than the court to manage, which is really a bit of a loss of face, but no matter what, the situation is a lot better after all.

Although many people have started the business of going to sea, most of them are also people who live in the eastern coastal areas, and because of the opening of the sea ban, many people are no longer going to sea as previously stipulated, since the end of last year, many people are the same, no longer according to the time regulations, as long as the conditions are met, then sail to the sea, so by the middle of this year, there will always be one or two merchant ships in the east every day to go to sea or return.

In this way, more manpower is needed.

At the beginning of this situation, the price of those manpower rose sharply, after all, there are places everywhere that need manpower, although it is really tiring to go here and there to pick up the work after doing it, but many people are willing to pay one or two times more than before.

Yes, it didn't take long, and there were a lot of people in the interior who got the news and went to the coastal places to find a job.

This situation reminded Zhang Fan of the kind of situation he had seen in his previous life, where many people went to work in developed places just to make more money.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that people should not move at will, especially those who have their own land, although Zhang Fan is a little scoffy at this order, but now it seems that it is precisely because of this that the situation has eased a lot.

Not to mention that because of many problems, in this land, as long as there are more people, it is easy to make trouble, and the most important thing is that although they are working here as a heavy man, the wages they get are still a lot more than farming at home, if there is no restriction on the flow of population, Zhang Fan is sure that many people will definitely leave their fields and come here to earn money.

Now, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's "foresight", although many people are running to the east, those fields have not been abandoned, there are still people farming, and there will still be food.

This is what made Zhang Fan breathe a sigh of relief, so now he can only despise Emperor Taizu's measure, and thank him for his order to control the current situation.

It can be said that the current situation is just right, there are people farming in the back, and there are people making money over there. If there are more people over there, the merchants will inevitably pay much less, which will not benefit either side.

That's one thing.

Now Zhang Juzheng has encountered some difficulties again, and the matter is related to land.

I remember that in the past, when Gao Gong was in power, in order to take revenge on Xu Jie, who had returned to his hometown, he ordered Hai Rui, who was in Yingtian, to check the fields, although it was mainly to deal with Xu Jie, but Hai Rui was also conscientious, and found out a large number of nobles and large landlords The fields that were embezzled and concealed by the nobles and big landowners were distributed to the peasants, and tens of thousands of hectares of fields were found out that time, which can be described as a rich harvest.

But even so, it was only in Nanzhili, and there were countless lands in other parts of the Ming Dynasty that were hidden by the nobles and landlords, and did not pay taxes to the imperial court, but they were still producing crops.

Taxation has always been the most serious problem in the Ming Dynasty, and this situation is undoubtedly aggravated, although now because of the sea ban has been opened, there is no problem with the silver in the treasury, but without reporting the fields, the grain can not be harvested, it is still a big problem.

Zhang Juzheng is also working hard in this area now, and he also understands in his heart how difficult it is to get those royal nobles and landlords to spit out the hidden fields, but he still intends to do so.

But he encountered a lot of difficulties.

In the final analysis, this kind of thing is a private and economic matter, but Zhang Juzheng can't start with these things from the beginning, and he needs to make other preparations.

One of the most important points is the rule of officials, if the government is not clear and the government decrees are not understood, even if they come up with more methods, it will be in vain.

Therefore, the first thing Zhang Juzheng had to do was to reform the rule of officials in the court, but since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although there have been several major changes, some things have not changed, and it is so difficult to change.
