Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong walked back again and told what he had heard. Of course, he didn't say what he thought, he just stated what he heard.

The people in this cabinet, those are the people among the civil officials, how could they not know what Sun Chengzong could think of!

No, after hearing this, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, patted his head and said in a sudden realization: "Ah, there is still an unregistered one in the old man's mansion, I am really busy and forget!" Fortunately, the childish rope reminded him, otherwise he would have been reported back, and the cabinet would have no face to treat! “

He was a doorman, and he knew that the emperor said that to those people in the palace in the imperial garden, so why not give them the face of these foreign court officials. As the head of the cabinet, he naturally climbed along the pole. It's just a family with children, what's the matter! Besides, even if you register, you are not from your own house!

When the other ministers heard him, they didn't know what he was thinking. For these high-ranking civil officials, the idea is actually similar. They all smiled and said that they were busy, and like Shousuke, they delayed this matter.

Listening to his colleagues all expressing his position, Wen Tiren suddenly said again: "The old man thought about this for a while. Since the cabinet may forget about the hidden household because they are busy, then the other yamen, the old man believes that there is also this possibility! In this case, it is better to remind other yamen in the name of the cabinet that they should not delay registration because they are busy. What do you think, guys? ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Shoufu is worthy of being Shoufu, and he immediately thought of a remedy, and the holy grace is undiminished, so it's no wonder!" ”

In the matter of hidden household registration, the emperor obviously knew that there were hidden households in all provinces, and there were quite a few of them. But the emperor wanted these hermits to be registered, but he didn't want to be a villain. Therefore, in the palace, this wicked man was taken by Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang. And outside the palace, it is up to the cabinet to be the villain.

What are courtiers used for? It's used to carry the pot!

Although he has taken the blame, he can get the Sacred Heart, and the emperor is standing behind him, and there will be no problems with the future, even if there are twists and turns for a while, as long as the emperor remembers, there will be no problem after all.

The first assistant's proposal, coupled with the fact that the hidden household was originally illegal, these cabinet ministers all knew which was more important, so they did not resist, so they all agreed. Of course, if anyone resisted, they absolutely believed that the news would reach the emperor's ears immediately, which they did not want.

In this way, Jingshi quickly became a sensation.

"Hey, have you heard that the eunuch Cao Gonggong personally brought the son of his house to register?"

"What? Even Grandpa Cao's son went to register? ”

"That's right, I also saw it, it was very lively at the time, a group of people watched, I thought what was going on, I looked at it in the past, tsk, not only Gonggong Cao, but also Gonggong Gao, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm print, also went, all of them are big people in the palace!"

"Haha, that's good, that's fair! I've watched a drama these days! I don't know what to do with other houses? ”

“……”

The news spread quickly, and some people in the mansions of some wealthy families began to make trouble.

"Master, the villain has inquired, and those big people in the palace have indeed personally sent their children to register!"

"What are they going to do, is lard blinding? Want to go crazy if you want to invite credit? ”

"Master, should we ...... then?"

"No matter what, whatever, there is no precedent like this before!"

“……”

There are quite a few words like this, and of course, there are also wealthy families who smell something, are a little hesitant and a little uneasy. However, most wealthy families are still looking at the direction of the wind.

Soon, on the second day of the action of the big man in the palace, there was a new movement, which was spread by the idlers who had been paying attention for a long time.

"Did you see, the housekeeper in the Shoufu Mansion personally took a hidden household to register, and paid the money, saying that things were too busy and delayed the registration."

"It's not just the first auxiliary mansion, I have seen several assistant ministers in charge, and they have taken the sons of the mansion to register."

“……”

These bigwigs in the cabinet are not as bottomless as the eunuchs in the palace, they will personally put on a show, and they all sent housekeepers and the like to send their children to register.

But even so, with them as an example, and the cabinet also clearly reminded the yamen, this time, it was lively. In all the prefectures of Beijing, people have successively sent hidden households to register, and brought a large group of idlers to watch the lively spread of news.

In this way, those wealthy families can't sit still.

"Master, it's true, all the prefectures have sent their children to register."

"Master, the villain heard that if he doesn't register, after the time limit, he will be reported, and those who hide and hide will be guilty of the same crime and be assigned to a cold place!"

"Master, the villain heard the rumors outside, the court issued a notice, when there is a hidden household in the house that is found to be unregistered after the expiration date, those who have official positions are guilty of knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be increased by one degree!"

“……”

Most wealthy families saw that the wind was not in the right direction and did not dare to commit crimes against the wind, so they had to secretly scold the cabinet for being incompetent, and on the other hand, they could only register truthfully. These people dare to scold the cabinet, but they dare not scold the initiator Wang Chengen, for no other reason, because Wang Chengen is the governor of Dongchang, who knows if he is scolded, will he be known by the factory public!

Of course, there are some people who are not reconciled. These people are mainly those who have titles, especially those who have been around since the founding of the country. There are the most hidden households in their house, if it weren't for the fact that they were killed by Jianyu in order to make merit, there would be even more hidden households.

They are a little unwilling, because after registration, according to the Ming law, each province has a certain amount of tax-exempt and exempt people, if it is exceeded, it is necessary to pay taxes, which is equivalent to an additional expense. Therefore, someone secretly went to Jiading Bo Zhoukui, and wanted to instigate the queen's biological father, the prince's maternal grandfather, to hide and not register.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had long been worried about this unreliable father-in-law, and asked Empress Zhou to remind his father not to do stupid things!

When Zhou Kui was at the beginning of Chongzhen's third year, he had already seen Emperor Chongzhen's methods. In addition, in the past few years, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige has been increasing, but he is not the emperor who can fool in history, and he has the thousands of instructions of Empress Zhou, so this time, he reprimanded the person who came with righteous words and asked his son to personally take the hidden family in the house to register.

In this way, at least at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to hide the hidden household. Because of this kind of thing, there is no way to hide it, and if you go back to the factory and check it, you will definitely be exposed.

Then, what happened on the Jingshi side, there was a chat group spread, and it immediately spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty. This makes wealthy families all over the country scold their mothers, but they have to register their children and so on.

Of course, there are also some people who commit crimes against the wind, feeling that they are not in the Beijing Division, and there is nothing.

So, the day after the deadline for the registration of hidden households, the servant of the Ying Tianfu Ministry was reported to have a child who hid his family and did not register.

Originally, this official wanted to use his busyness and forgetfulness as an excuse, but it turned out to be very simple, not the household registration yamen, nor the local army, but the factory guard directly came to arrest him. It's so fast, it's as if you've been waiting there, waiting for the time to arrest someone.

As an official of the imperial court, knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime was added to the first degree, and the whole government was sent to Tianshan Mountain, and he did not take anyone who stayed overnight.

This incident shook the Ming officialdom, so that many officials or nobles reported themselves, this kind of thing, in the end, the emperor was gracious, and he was not to blame for the past.

After such an episode, the results of the registration of the hidden household once again exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's expectations. Originally, he thought that if the Ming Dynasty had 150 million people, it would be about the same. Who knows that although the results did not come out in the end, according to the latest estimates, the population of Daming is about 200 million.

Getting such a piece made Emperor Chongzhen very happy. Nowadays, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is too wide, and a large number of people are needed. And the more people who are registered, the more tax revenues there will be. The so-called strength of many people is not just a slogan in ancient times.

At the same time, on the surface of the Edo Sea of Wakoku, two ships appeared and were slowly approaching the port.

In the bow of one of them, several people stood there looking out over the shore. One of them had a melancholy face and muttered to himself, "I don't know how the war is going, I hope the general has suppressed those rebellions!" ”

Hearing his words, the people next to him naturally understood his thoughts, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, my lordship, the general is wise and powerful, and he must have suppressed those barbarians!" ”

"Yes, there are only a few of them, and they will definitely not be able to defeat our general!"

“……”

Listening to the comfort of his subordinates, the leader was silent, his face did not change, and it was obvious that his opinion should be a little pessimistic. But he didn't say anything to deny it, as if he hoped that the truth would be as his men said.

After a while, when we were getting closer and closer to Edo, I saw two warships coming up, still the kind that were flanking from the left and right, and when we got closer, I saw that the warships were waiting for battle.

Seeing this, on the bow of the ship, someone waved his hand and shouted: "We are our own people, we are the envoys sent by the general to the Ming Kingdom, and now that we are back, Lord Meichuan Shangyi is on the ship!" ”

When the two warships that came over heard this, all the Japanese people inside showed happy expressions. Soon, I heard someone on a ship shouting to this side: "It's great that you have come back, I don't know when the Heavenly Empire will be able to send troops to exterminate those prisoners?" ”

Hearing this, Umegawa Shangyi, who was silent, sank his heart. Obviously, since they are still looking forward to the Ming State sending troops, it means that the situation has not improved.

But...... But this trip is completely messed up!

His men probably understood, but they were not reconciled, and shouted again, "How is the war going now?" ”

At this time, the ships of the two sides were getting closer and closer, and there was no need to speak so hard, and someone on the warship replied loudly: "The situation is very bad, Jian Yu and those anti-thieves want to capture Iwami Silver Mountain, and the general has sent heavy troops over, and the two sides are in a stalemate!" ”

Hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so the situation has not deteriorated much? But even so, the general should be hoping that the Ming Kingdom at this time can send troops to attack Jianyu and those rebels, right?

Who knew that he was thinking about this, and the person on the other side of the warship continued: "The general sent troops to attack the rear of Jianyu, killed many rebels, and even hit Kyushu Island. Now the rebellion on Kyushu Island has almost been killed, but there are still several cities that have not been defeated, and those rebellions are still resisting. ”

When Umegawa Shangyi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this is good news, worthy of the general.

But he didn't know that the people on these ships knew only a limited amount of information.

On the island of Kyushu, at first, the situation was exactly as they said it was. After the Tokugawa shogunate's army attacked, because there was no main force, only those Catholic troops, which were actually peasants, could not resist at all. He was killed a lot by the army of the Tokugawa shogunate, and anyway, Kyushu Island was full of corpses, and only a few castles could not be defeated.

However, after a long stalemate, the army of the Tokugawa shogunate could not supply food and supplies. Originally, they planned to eat the enemy, but anyway, they were all rebelliously controlled territory, and killing, burning, and robbing them were their favorite things to do. However, on the island of Kyushu, it was not rich in the first place, and the continuous war had long since exhausted the supplies. When Kenyu attacked Honshu Island, he took with him all the supplies he could, and even if the Tokugawa shogunate's army repeated the policy, they could not collect much food, and it was difficult to continue relying on the supplies from the Honshu side.

The people on the warship continued to tell what they knew: "Those prisoners are very cruel, and they have also sent troops around the rear of our army, like demons, burning and looting everywhere, and the situation is very bad. The general has been telling you to come back and put down the rebellion as soon as possible! ”

As soon as he heard this, Umegawa Shangyi was a little relieved just now, and suddenly his heart died. Because he knows that the real situation must be worse than this statement. Or it can be said that if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to hide it, then the news would not have come out at all.

Think about it, I heard that when those Jianyu rose in Liaodong, they were very good at burning, killing and looting, and now they are doing this here in Benzhou, and it is estimated that I don't know how many people have died in their hands. The general, I am definitely very hopeful that I can move the Ming Kingdom and send troops to suppress these rebellions as soon as possible.

But......

Umegawa Shangyi remembered what happened in the Jinluan Hall of the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, his face was pale, he didn't say a word, turned around and slowly got off the bow of the boat, and walked towards the cabin.

His men looked at him and understood that he could not bring good news, and that he must be in a bad mood, and no one dared to disturb him. They can imagine that when the time comes, the general will know about the situation in the Ming Kingdom, and he doesn't know how he will get angry!

The ship and the ship of the envoy staggered by, and they could all see the people on board celebrating. Obviously, they all thought that this trip to Mingguo would bring them good news! I guess the Shogun's side thinks so!

Aoge-sama Umegawa, what should you do?
