The news that Yang Fan had been harvesting millions of stone wheat in autumn shocked the entire government and the opposition at once. We all know that in the past few days, the saint is distressed by another poor harvest in Shaanxi, and the peasant uprising is about to move, and a great news has spread to the palace, which makes Zhu Youzhen, who can't eat, addicted.

drank six cups of hero's tears in a row before putting down the cup. "Timely rain, this Yang Fan is really timely rain!" Zhu You looked at the dripping autumn rain in the imperial city, and turned the wrench in his hand with some excitement. even wanted to go to Yang Fan immediately and praise him well. Millions of stone wheat grain, that is half of the annual tax of the national treasury can only buy grain, he Yang Fan with 30,000 people, went out to sea, and transported it back?

Zhu Youzhen took the fold and looked at it, and finally locked his eyes on the three words "grain people return". Wen Tiren waited behind Zhu Youjian and couldn't stop congratulating. As soon as he took office, this Lord Yang helped him solve such a big problem, and his chair as the head of the cabinet was more or less stable.

He was able to ascend to the throne, and there was also Zhu Youzhen's intention to check and balance the Donglin Party in the outer court. Zhu Youzhen appointed the Donglin Party, but he was extremely disgusted with his friends, so it was impossible to hand over all the important tasks to the Donglin Qunchen, but the appointment and dismissal were still repeated back and forth, and the most important thing was distrust.

"Elder Wen Ge, you say, what should I reward him?"

Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "The bounty of gold and silver treasures is too vulgar, and besides, the lord's strange things do not seem to lack these yellow and white things; If you add an official to a knight...... A few years ago, I just made an earl, and I was the ancestor of the dynasty, and those who were knighted were not allowed to pre-empt nine affairs, not to divide the city, and only to receive the title of Yulu. If you go out, you can lead the general seal as the commander and governor, and govern the Caogang. At the beginning, Ling Hebo was reluctant to enter the office, so the saint was knighted, which shows that Ling Hebo is particularly valued. ”

"Elder Wen still didn't seem to say that it was better for me to reward anything."

Wen Tiren pondered for a moment and said, "If you really want to be rewarded, why don't you change this first-class lord to a hereditary title and add an iron coupon, what do you think?" ”

Although this is not a substantial reward, if it is considered to be rare, it is definitely a rare reward, and the credit is great. Zhu Youzhen instructed: "Just according to what you said, in addition, assign that fief to Yang Fan, this is the promise I made at the beginning." ”

Wen Tiren froze for a moment and said, "No, Holy Lord." Not to mention the meritorious heroes with foreign surnames, even the royal family surnamed Zhu should not be divided according to the ancestral system, and the saints must not risk the disapproval of the world to do such things that tear the ground. He felt that his scalp was numb, when the ministers died, he blew up the fief, and now the old things of the saint are brought up again, isn't this tantamount to embarrassing the ministers?

"If you follow the old rules, you can calm the troubled times in the northwest, and you can solve the famine caused by natural disasters, I, are you still worried? The cabinet's tax reform has been refuted, and I have this will, do you say that it can be done, or that it cannot be done? "It's not easy to be an emperor, who doesn't want a holy decree, and the world shouts the wisdom of the saint. Just like when he produced a eunuch, there were as many people who sang the praises of his sanctity. But now, the tax reform has just shown some signs, and thousands of twists and turns have been submitted, and the people are full of complaints. He Chongzhen also took care of face, and it was also a helpless move to withdraw Zhou Yanru a few months ago.

In fact, it is still Donglin's gang that controls Yiqiē. The common people do not understand the benefits brought by the tax reform, and when they hear that they are going to increase taxes, they see that they have now shrunk their clothes and diet, and they really can't survive with tax increases, so they complain. As everyone knows, this tax reform has not increased but decreased agricultural taxes, but these are still plans made by the cabinet, and only overseas trade taxes, mining taxes, salt taxes, and tea taxes have been promulgated, and the original ancestral system of 30 draws has been adjusted to 1 out of ten. Not only that, but they also spread the word that once this tax is added, how will the common people live.

So the neighborhood spread. With public opinion, the headache is Zhu Youzhen. Which dynasty and which generation, the excessively levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which dynasty and which generation, the emperor is mediocre, are all things that poke at the backbone, so just erase an official and hastily delay the tax reform, neither veto nor implement.

The profiteers, corrupt officials, and corrupt officials below are very clear in their hearts, this is the meaning of giving up from above, and they will no longer make trouble, and there are policies and countermeasures, even if they really eat the scales and have an iron heart, they want to reform the tax. These people also have a way, but it's best not to change, if you're comfortable, I'm comfortable. Confucianism pays attention to moderation, hello, I am good, everyone is good. In this way, another thought can be maintained, and that is order. Monarchs and ministers, father and son, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Zhu Youzhen said: "The matter of the fiefdom will be discussed when Ling Hebo comes back." The rest is up to you. He still compromised, and really gave the fief, and it is estimated that the next day there will be a bunch of folds.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was relieved, Wen Tiren was also a little relieved, and said, "Minister, obey the order." ”

However, even before this decree could be drafted, another shocking news once again shocked the entire imperial court. Ling Hebo Yang Fan, who had just arrived in Dengzhou, Shandong, was assassinated! After it was transmitted to the palace, Zhu Youzhen was furious and almost wanted to remove the newly appointed governor of Denglai.

Who's doing it?

Jingshi has hatred, but there is no hatred. Those who have mustard and those who don't have mustard are all thinking about who is so bold that they dare to blatantly do something to Yang Fan. Zhu Youzhen looked at the twists and turns that had just been sent to the palace, the man in black, Shundao, and the missing, and the news sent by Jinyiwei and several Jinyi Wei's thousands of flying pigeons, even more clearly said that a thorough investigation had begun in the area of Dengzhou Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen spread the fold on the table, rubbed his astringent eyes, and muttered: "Who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard!" ”

Somewhere in the capital division, the windows of the private room were closed, and several people frowned.

"Who's doing it?"

"I don't know, it's not a lion's man."

"It's better to tell the lion head to be careful, the Holy Lord has sent a messenger, these days, tell them to converge." Several of them were wearing masks, and they couldn't see their true faces.

"You say, could it be him......"

"Quite possibly, that madman would have done anything. He turned his head and asked us to wipe his ass. That's it, whether it's him or not, let's do a good job of my own business first. How is the salt tax in Lianghuai this year? ”

"Except for the silver taels in May, which were eaten by some people, the silver taels before the autumn harvest, and the salt envoys of the two Huai have sent someone to send them. However, Ling Hebo's reason, it is better not to move now, lest something go wrong when the time comes. Now they are all on the Shanxi side, and after preparing for the winter solstice, they will be transported to Beijing together with the southern grain. ”

"Yes." The voice was low, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, the Ministry of Industry last year was an example." Fortunately, Lao Yanxi started quickly, and as soon as he heard that Du Ruhai had an accident, the account book of Jin Shang was immediately written off. Otherwise, where did the fine iron and fire bolts go, and there would be something to say, and then it would not be a Du Ruhai who could do anything. ”

There are some things, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, don't be afraid, I'm afraid that there is a bigger pit under the radish, and in the end even your own foundation will be sunk into it, then it will be a big game. But a pit is a pit after all, and one day, if it collapses, it will be a nightmare.
