Bian Saisai came back from the queen, but saw that the palace maids in his palace were all sent away, and couldn't help but be a little strange, and came to the dormitory with the palace maids, and saw a pair of crystal small feet hanging in the air through the curtain, which made her face red.

Her sister is here, how can she not know that there is only one person who can pick freely in the palace.

Bian Saisai withdrew from the palace maid with a red face, stretched out his hand and plucked the jade hairpin at the back of his head, and her hair suddenly poured down, and the green silk like a waterfall suddenly added a bit more charm to her beautiful face.

With a hook of the clothes, a gorgeous hairpin shirt fell off the body, leaving only a crimson coat, and slowly approached the bed.

The cherries are returning in spring, and the butterflies are flying with light powder.

-----

The spring rain was like silk, sprinkled one by one, Hou Xuanyan stretched his waist, he slept beautifully this night, and his waist and hips were still a little floating when he woke up.

I exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the troubles I had just forgotten came back to my heart.

When it comes down to trouble, the problems mentioned by Chen Mingyu cannot but be solved.

Jinling has a population of nearly one million, and once there is a shortage of food, the consequences are unimaginable, and this is the heart of the empire.

Fortunately, the roads are now wide and smooth, and the transportation is convenient and fast, and it is not difficult to transport grain in time. The difficulty is where the food comes from...

Since Hou Xuanyan came to power, he has vigorously developed industry and commerce, and the upward and downward effects have led to the prosperity of commerce in the whole country, and merchant ships are all over the world, but these merchant ships generally do not like to transport grain directly, because no matter how expensive the grain is, it is not as good as selling silk and transporting spices.

At this time, the importance of Liaodong appeared, Liaodong has fertile farmland, it really does not have to be the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and hundreds of thousands of people have just poured into Liaodong, as long as the land in Liaodong is developed, it is a big granary.

At that time, the military rations will not have to rely on Jiangnan, and the food crisis in Jinling will be self-defeating, and the only thing to worry about is this year's problem.

Bian Saisai buried his head in Hou Xuanyan's arms, but his sister curled up to the side, with tears in the corners of her eyes, sleeping soundly.

Hou Xuanyan's big hand rubbed on the back of the jade, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with this thorny problem.

During this period, the heavens were not beautiful, there were natural disasters everywhere, and many places in the Central Plains had to rely on the imperial court to provide relief for food, not to mention taxing grain.

After pondering for a while, Hou Xuanyan finally got up, patted Bian Saisai beside him, and said, "Take a pen and paper." ”

When he was thinking about state affairs, Bian Yujing didn't dare to disturb, and now he put on a light veil, twisted Yingying's slender waist, and went to get the four treasures of the study.

In the concubine's boudoir, Bian Saisai poured the finest cinnabar tribute ink into water and studied it carefully, and then took a purple wolf hard hair, moistened it in the pen wash, and waited for Hou Xuanyan to give instructions with a brush in his hand.

Hou Xuanyan sat on the chair with a big grin, pinched his soft and elastic buttocks, and said casually: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:

I heard that the fields were barren and uncultivated, and there were many wanderers. There is a state of the department, suitable for the present, suitable for the next country. Today, there is chaos in Xirong, the border soldiers are repeatedly raised, Chen soldiers are million, Liaodong is pacified, the country is exhausted, and the people are empty.

Today, the land tax is exempted for three years, so as to benefit small farmers, so that they can work with peace of mind, and the public will not benefit from it.

The Imperial City diet, starting from me and the queen, was cut in half. The six ministries and nine secretaries, officials at all levels, should be frugal and serve as an example for the subjects of the world.

The treasure of March 10 of the first year of the Emperor's Hunting"

Hou Xuan made a speech, and Bian Saisai, who was standing aside, wrote a sentence, and after finishing speaking, the edict was completed.

Hou Xuanyan's edict is by no means groundless, with the prosperity of the economy, a wave of extravagance is rising from Jinling.

Extravagance and waste, comparison and boasting, are not uncommon.

If this unhealthy trend is not curbed in a timely manner, it will inevitably cause a regression in the building of Dahua's spiritual civilization, and the enterprising and upward trend at the beginning of the founding of the country will be suppressed.

The reason for the exemption from the land tax is to encourage people to farm with peace of mind, and although there are many factories now, they do not occupy much farmland, and as long as the policy is appropriate, there will definitely be people who will cultivate it.

What the court lacks is not money, but money can't buy grain, as long as someone farms.

The edict was sent to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Chen Mingyu was amazed, and even called the Son of Heaven Shengming. Soon this edict was sent to the whole country, and it is conceivable that in the future, the situation of no one cultivating the land will be improved.

Early the next morning, the British, who had been in Jinling for half a month, decided to return to China, and Hamilton met the emperor here, and this time Hou Xuanyan met him at the Nuanfang Pavilion.

In this half a month, a group of people's senses of the Hua Dynasty have completely changed, this is not an ignorant and backward Eastern country, from the emperor to the whole country, they are very enlightened and advanced.

In the Craftsman's Hall, they saw the steam loom that had come out in advance, and it was no wonder that Dahua's merchants could transport an endless supply of high-quality cotton cloth to sell around the world, and it turned out that their scale and technology were far behind other countries.

There was also the artillery of the martial arts, the terrifying barrel, which was eager to stab into the sky, and almost shattered their eardrums with one shot, and the great power made the British stunned.

Hamilton finally understood why Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands had lost so quickly, and all but the Dutch had the East Indies (Indonesia).

Such artillery is not something that Western warships can withstand, and Hamilton does not know the scale of the Hua Dynasty sailors, otherwise he would have shouted God a long time ago.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "After you return to China, remember to greet Cromwell on behalf of me, as well as the quality of our Dahua goods, you can spread the truth." ”

Hamilton bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured that the merchants of Dahua have achieved enough success in Europe, and I don't think I need to help them with good words." ”

"Haha" Hou Xuanyan was very happy, looking at this blonde and blue-eyed British, he was also a little cute, stood up and said: "We Han people have a saying, call and don't be rude, I plan to send a few ships to the UK, and I'll be with you." ”

Hamilton happily agreed, and Gu Yanwu next to him got up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who you are bringing with you?" ”

Hou Xuanyan groaned: "Who wants to go to the Zhongqing family? ”

Everyone looked at each other, the West is too far away, not very ambitious, who wants to go. At this time, the wild son came, and Wang Fuzhi came out and said: "The minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

"Okay, Wang Qing's family can select young people from the Craftsman Pavilion to go, and after they go, they will travel around the world to express my goodwill. In addition, bring the students of the lecture hall to draw a map of the travel and gather information to prepare for the expedition to Spain. ”

These words were not translated to Hamilton, and he craned his neck to understand why Wang Fuzhi had already received the order of thanksgiving.
