Yun Xi walked out of the household department, thought about it, and went to Ying Tianfuya. The www.biquge.info Ying Tianfu was far away from the imperial city, so he called a car to take it, and the guards followed on horseback.

In this grain exchange, the capital is the first priority. Suzhou and Hangzhou experienced large-scale wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Shicheng repeatedly fought for more than ten years in this generation, and the people were killed and wounded; Coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's strict ban on the sea, there is no business to do in the coastal areas, and businessmen do not come, and the Su and Hangzhou generations are not like the population that Zhu Yuanzhang migrated and settled here in the capital, so until the end of the Hongwu period, the population in Suzhou and Hangzhou is not large, and it is the land of fish and rice, so the total demand for grain will be much less than that of the capital; And the large number of people means that there is a high possibility of chaos, so it is necessary to send people from Tianfu to maintain order.

The current Yingtianfu Yin in the capital is Wang Xingfu, who once served as the secretary of the ministry, but was demoted to the prefect of Xi'an because he was implicated by others, and later promoted to the Yingtianfu Yin of the third grade because of his merits.

At this time, Wang Xingfu was also supervising the collection of autumn taxes. For a country like the Ming Dynasty, where agricultural taxes accounted for 80 percent of the total tax revenue, the collection of grain taxes twice a year was very important, and everyone from the central government to the counties did not dare to ignore it. There are eight counties in Tianfu, and the two counties of Shangyuan and Jiangning are the same counties as Guo County, and there are not many rural areas, let alone many cultivated land, so there is no need to pay more attention; However, the other six counties of Jurong, Liyang, Lishui (Qitai is from here), Gaochun, Jiangpu, Liuhe and other counties are no different from the counties of other state capitals, all of which are mainly rural areas and mainly agricultural taxes, and they are also very busy in this season.

Wang Xingfu is talking to the Liyang Zhixian of Zhengliupin. Wang Xingfu said: "You must pay attention to this year's autumn levy, the previous Liyang magistrate was removed from his post and investigated when the spring levy was levied this year. You must not make his mistake again. The magistrate agreed.

As he was talking, a servant with a mixture of surprise, fear and excitement on his face ran in, and without waiting for Wang Xingfu to scold, he bowed four times, knelt down and said: "Lord Fu Yin, outside, a group of people came outside, saying, saying, saying that the Third Highness has come down. The gatekeeper at the door did not dare to stop him, and he had already entered. ”

Wang Xingfu looked puzzled: Didn't you announce that the Third Highness was in charge of the treasure banknote? It should be rooted in the household department, what are you doing when I come to Tianfuya? But now there is no time to doubt, let the official get up first, and then say to the magistrate of Liyang: "I'll tell you later, you stay here for a while." "The magistrate of Liyang also knows the severity, and he bows twice, Wang Xingfu returns the salute, and the magistrate retreats.

Wang Xingfu hurriedly went out to greet him. But at this time, Yun Xi had already walked into the gate of the mansion. Wang Xingfu didn't take a few steps to meet Yun Xi in the courtyard, hurriedly bowed four times, and said, "I've seen the Third Highness." Your Highness is here today, is there anything you need to do to respond to the Heavenly Mansion? ”

Yun Xi returned the salute and said: "Regarding the treasure banknote, I have a way to deal with it, I need the assistance of Ying Tianfu, and I hope that Lord Yin of the Mansion will not shirk." ”

The courtyard was not the place to speak, Wang Xingfu led Yun Xi to the living room, and at the same time wondered: "How does this change in the banknote law have something to do with my Ying Tianfu?" ’

When they arrived at the living room, Yun Xi sat due north, Wang Xingfu sat due south, Yang Feng and Chen Xing stood aside, and the other guards guarded outside the house. Yun Xi said, "That's right, I proposed to maintain the value of the treasure money by allowing the treasure money to be exchanged for grain,...... (The omitted part is the introduction process) ......, so it needs the assistance of Ying Tianfu. ”

When Wang Xingfu first heard the method introduced by Yun Xi, he applauded in his heart, because this method is really good. However, with Yunxi's introduction, it gradually became clear that because the amount of treasure banknotes issued was too large, there were also risks. However, this risk has little to do with Ying Tianfu. Although Wang Xingfu is a scholar with the great ideal of 'helping the world and saving the people', he understands after experiencing the depreciation experience a few years ago that he still needs to do the work in front of him well, and then consider the matter of 'helping the world and saving the people' when he reaches the top.

He said: "Your Highness means that for almost the entire month of October, it is necessary to send officials from the Heavenly Mansion to the place where the grain is exchanged to maintain order and prevent civil disturbances?" ”

Yun Xi said: "That's probably it. From the beginning of next month. In order not to make a mess, I hope that Lord Yin will send a few more officials. ”

Wang Xingfu was flattered by Yun Xi's words. Yun Xi spoke too politely; Wang Xingfu also talked with Prince Yiwen, although Prince Yiwen is very modest, but he still speaks with a royal tone and is condescending; Yun Hee, on the other hand, is very close to the way ordinary people speak, and people don't feel any arrogance (this is of course the result of memories from later generations).

However, he still said: "Now it is the autumn tax collection season, and most of the officials are sent down to help the tax collectors collect the autumn taxes, and it is not easy to find dozens of officials to maintain the order." ”

Yun Xi said: "Jiangning and Shangyuan counties are both the same Guo County, how many field taxes can be collected?" Since there were not enough officials from the government office, the officials from Jiangning and Shangyuan counties were called. ”

Wang Xingfu wanted to say more, Yun Xi said again: "Now in the capital, in addition to the officials of your prefecture and county, the only soldiers who can be sent out are the soldiers of the forty-eight guards in the capital (there is no five-city soldiers and horses at this time). This maintenance of law and order in the capital itself is your errand in response to Tianfu County, if you can't send people to Tianfu, I told the emperor's grandfather to dispatch the soldiers of Jinwu's left and right guards, and your face in Tianfu is not good-looking. Yun Xi's words are actually a bit threatening.

But the threat still works. Wang Xingfu, who wanted to speak just now, immediately swallowed back what he was about to say, and after an awkward silence for a while, he replied: "Your Highness, rest assured, on the first day of the tenth lunar month, Ying Tianfu will definitely send enough officials to maintain order. ”

Yun Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since Lord Fu Yin has already agreed, and your mansion is busy, then I won't bother too much." ”

No matter how aggrieved Wang Xingfu was, he quickly got up and saluted Yun Xi to go out. After leaving the door of the backyard of the mansion, Yun Xi said: "There are many affairs in the Ying Tianfu, so Lord Yin of the mansion doesn't have to send me out of the mansion, let's stop here." ”

Wang Xingfu does have a lot of things, so he will say goodbye to Yun Xi here. Then Wang Xingfu returned to the backyard, where Liyang Zhixian was still waiting! Wang Xingfu beat his spirits, said a few more words to the county governor of Liyang, and sent the county of Liyang away. He wasn't in the mood for anything else, so he sat in his seat and figured out how to free up dozens of people in October.

And Yun Xi marched to the palace at this time. Yun Xi thought that in order to spread rumors and increase the people's confidence in the treasure banknote, the most suitable yamen was none other than Jinyiwei. But now, although Jinyiwei has been deprived of the right to arrest, interrogate, and detain prisoners, he is still an intelligence agency in Lao Zhu's hands. As the heir to the throne, it is not a good idea to rashly contact people from the intelligence agencies, so Yun Xi still decided to go back to the palace and report to Lao Zhu first.

On the way towards the Imperial City, Chen Xing and Yang Feng followed Yun Xi for a long time and didn't feel it, and the other guards were secretly thinking in their hearts. They waited outside and didn't hear the conversation of the household department, but they all heard the conversation between Yun Xi and Ying Tianfu Yin Wang Xingfu just now, and they all felt that Yun Xi was too polite to speak. As the grandson of the emperor, even if he is not the grandson, he can usually call the minister by his name, even if he shows respect, just call him Wang Fu Yin; Yun Xi actually called him Lord Fu Yin, which really did not conform to the etiquette at this time. But Yun Hee himself doesn't realize it yet.
