"Your Majesty, the five provinces outside the Guanxi, the new cultivated land is 36,000 hectares, and the new grain is about 75 million stones, of which Liaoning Province has added 33,000 hectares of new cultivated land and 68 million stones of new grain, although all the cultivated land in Liaoning Province today is exempt from tax, but the new grain is in the country, especially in the province, which can initially solve the grain problem of all people in Liaoning Province, and there is no longer a need to transfer grain from the Guannei, and the grain reserves of Liaoning Province can also be increased. ¥°F Top Novel,"

Bi Ziyan's words, Zhu Youzhen is not surprised, the black soil of Liaoning Province is very suitable for growing rice, wheat, soybeans, etc., the Northeast rice in later generations was once famous throughout the country, and the Northeast has also become the country's largest grain producing area.

Now that Liaoning Province has returned to the Ming Dynasty, it is normal to increase so much arable land and grain at once.

First, most of the land in Liaoning Province is cultivated and cooked, but the rise of Jiannu was destroyed in the war, and there is harassment of Jiannu cavalry, who dares to farm with peace of mind? The crops that were finally planted could be destroyed in a sudden war before they were harvested, and the time of that year was in vain.

Second, almost all of Liaoning Province was ruled by Jiannu, and the Ming army once retreated to the first line of Shanhaiguan, even if there were people farming, the harvested grain was not Ming's, but to be handed over to Jiannu.

"So much? It's only been less than two years! Zhu Youzhen made an exaggerated expression.

In addition, 20,000 hectares of newly added cultivated land in Liaoning Province were sold to large grain growers, and a total of 29.2 million taels of silver were sold. Bi Ziyan said, exaggerated, I'll give you an even more exaggerated reason.

"Nine million two thousand taels?" Zhu Youzhen was really surprised, the people of the Ming Dynasty had so much money in their hands?

The ministers were so shocked that their mouths opened wide, and even their eyeballs were about to leave their sockets, and they didn't dare to blink, for fear that their eyes would disappear in a blink.

Nine ,200,000 taels is indeed a staggering figure, the Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue is only 2,300,000 or 4,000,000 taels, and Liaoning Province has sold 9,200,000 taels at one time, close to 40 percent of the national tax revenue.

The 9,200,000 taels are not tax income, but additional income.

Hearing that so much silver had been sold, Zhu Youzhen was not worried about the phenomenon of land annexation, on the contrary, he would develop industry and commerce through guò, so that the super-stable dìng-type farming structure that had been established over thousands of years would gradually disintegrate, and in the future, the landless people could enter the factories in large numbers and become industrial workers.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty is practicing expansionism, the new land needs to be relocated to the Han people to live, if the people in the interior lose their land, they can go to the new areas to live, only the Han people gradually occupy the majority, the new land will establish a stable social structure, the future is not afraid of a referendum.

Taking advantage of the moment when the ministers were surprised, Zhu Youzhen threw out the question that he had prepared a long time ago: "Zhong Aiqing, do you know where all this arable land, grain, and silver come from?" What he meant, these are the blood and sweat of the Ming soldiers, and even their lives in exchange, not only have income today, but also the land of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and continue to bring tax income to the Ming Dynasty.

"Naturally, under the wise leadership of His Majesty, the army of the Ming Dynasty established an immortal feat." Cao Wenzhao is not completely sycophant, there is no strong army, not to mention land, grain, and silver, and the Ming Dynasty may be wiped out by Jiannu's cavalry one day.

Seeing that the civilian officials didn't react, Zhu Youzhen "chuckled" in his heart, these civilian officials obviously deliberately ignored the merits of the soldiers, if the soldiers lost the battle, would they collectively ignore it?

Naked civil bureaucracy, naked interest groups.

Zhu Youzhen estimated that it had no effect, but he also said what he should say: "Since the soldiers have made such a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, then they should enjoy a little economic benefit and political honor, and now, who else is opposed to awarding knighthoods to the Ming soldiers?" ”

Huang Liji and others were not very opposed to it, but when they saw that Zhu Youzhen had come to the fore in person, they no longer insisted on opposing opinions, and of course, they did not speak out to support them.

But Shi Fenglai still strongly objected: "Your Majesty, it is good for soldiers to defend the territory and open up the territory, but the imperial court has already given them the rewards they deserve, and even the wounded and disabled soldiers have appropriate pensions. ”

"Civil officer? Then you go to defend the territory and open up the territory, and I will give you the same treatment. Zhu Youzhen was angry, but the civilian officials obviously wouldn't help him, except for those from the National Defense Yuan.

"Your Majesty, we are learned people who have read the poetry and books of the saints, how can we compare with those soldiers? We can defend the territory and open up the territory, but can those soldiers who can't read a single word come to govern the court? "Shi Fenglai doesn't know which tendon is wrong, today he is on the bar with Zhu Youzhen.

"Your Majesty, you can't give special treatment to soldiers!"

"The minister is against!"

"How can the status of a soldier be compared to the pillars of the Ming Dynasty such as us?"

……

Shi Fenglai is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who is in charge of the promotion and fate of many people, and these people have spoken out in support, and they knelt down in front of the court.

Although the positions of these people are generally not high, they cannot stand up to the large number of people.

Zhu Youzhen smiled angrily: "Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, without them to defend the frontier and stabilize the country, you can talk about it here - since there are so many people who oppose it, then the matter of the title, we will discuss it another day, and disperse the dynasty!" ”

"Scattered...... ...... to the court" Zhang Yixian's sharp voice dragged out a long tail, and the voice of the only one in the court echoed.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen's anger had not completely subsided.

"Your Majesty, don't be like these selfish literati, it's important to take care of the dragon's body!" Zhang Yixian held the Buddha dust in his hand, bent over and leaned against Zhu Youzhen's chair, "Your Majesty has been debating with these villains until now, you must be thirsty, and the slave maid will go and pour a cup of warm water for Your Majesty." ”

"No need, Yi Xian, you go down first, I want to be quiet for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhang Yixian's body bowed even more, but he didn't move, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, do you want to have lunch first?" ”

"Lunch? Well, I happen to be hungry too. ”

"Hey, hey, the slave will go and prepare, and it will be fine right away." Hearing that Zhu Youzhen had an appetite, Zhang Yixian made a series of sounds, and then walked out of the Qianqing Palace quickly.

After lunch, Zhu Youzhen quietly leaned on the dragon bed, anyway, he couldn't sleep now, just think about the reform of the army, he always liked to lie on the bed, thinking about his thoughts, great feelings, almost all remembered in bed.

It's really a little hot today, and when Zhu Youzhen leaned on the dragon bed, his back was sweating.

He called two palace maids to fan him, and took off his thick dragon robe, wearing only a placket gown, which was a little more comfortable.

Under the light of the natural wind, Zhu Youzhen's heart gradually calmed down.

He closed his eyes and began to think about today's meeting.

Those who only know their own selfish interests and completely ignore the interests of the Ming Dynasty must be severely cracked down, whether they do so out of ignorance or deliberately.

In the history of later generations, the most important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was these bureaucrats. They usually use the privileges in their hands to seek improper interests for themselves, and when the Ming Dynasty encounters difficulties and is threatened, they just pat their butts and leave, in their hearts, there is no country, court, people and emperor at all, only their own interests, political, economic, and reputational.

However, these scholars are good at using the rich Chinese language, and they speak in a high-sounding manner every time, as if they are the indispensable pillars of the country, and they are dedicated to the country and the people and the emperor, and they have no one in their hearts.

Zhu Youzhen thought, Jinyiwei should also be used, don't think that I have weakened Jinyiwei's authority, you can do whatever you want.

A complete plan quickly appeared in Zhu Youzhen's mind.

There was nothing to do in his heart, and Zhu Youzhen fell asleep in a daze.

Not long after Zhu Youzhen was like a dream, a heavy object pressed against Zhu Youzhen's body, waking him up.

He thought he had some nightmare, but when he opened his eyes, something was wrong, and it turned out that a palace maid was pressing on him.

"You ......"

"Your Majesty, slave maid should die, slave maid should die." The palace maid made a stack of sounds, her eyes were red, I don't know if she was going to cry, it turned out that she saw that Zhu Youzhen was already asleep, and her heart was a little paralyzed, just a little sleepy, she dozed off, and accidentally fell on Zhu Youzhen's body.

The palace maid was just about to get up, but she was afraid of pressing Zhu Youzhen, so she moved a little slowly.

Zhu Youzhen pressed her tender shoulders and made her unable to get up, "What's wrong?" Isn't it too much work? ”

"The slave didn't dare, because the weather was too hot, and the slave and maid were a little sleepy for a while...... Slaves and maids should be damned, slaves and maids will not dare anymore! ”

"Heat? Sleepy? Zhu Youzhen thought about it, he let them fan the wind because it was too hot, the palace maid stuck to his body, and he suddenly found that he had an erection at noon, "Since you are sleepy, you should go to rest, and now I am startled by me-no, no, you are shocked, should you be sleepy now?" ”

"Slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should die......" The palace maid seemed to be stupid, and she would only say this one sentence when she came and went.

"Don't give a damn, I'll make you sleepy a little more and get some good sleep." Zhu Youzhen's big hand was already on the mulberry on the palace maid's chest, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave is called Yun'er......"

"Yun'er? Good name," Zhu Youzhen said, climbing down with his big hands, he felt that this palace maid named Yun'er was at least a C cup and a D cup.

Except for Zhang Yan and his first queen and three concubines, he has never been fortunate to be a palace maid, and it is really rare for Yun'er to grow into a D cup without external stimulation.

"Your Majesty xià......" Yun'er neither dared to resist, but also had to resist.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the other palace maid was still there, she lowered her head and blushed, looking like she wanted to retreat, "You go out first, I will call you if there is something." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid got the pardon, and went away, and when she came to the door, she secretly looked back, closed the door, and retreated outside the door to wait.
