"Back to the words of the father, the child said before, the official position is fat and thin, and this is the policy of raising incorruptible silver, it is the policy of equal fat and shortage, and the fire consumption is not all into the treasury, but according to the official position fat and thin will be divided into this fire consumption, after all officials have gained, if there is greed, you can kill a few, in order to set an example, in this way, you may be able to get more than ten years of Qingming."

Slander is slander, the third master's question, Hongqing still didn't dare not answer, so he quickly gathered his mind and briefly described the source and usage of the incorruptible silver.

"Well, if that's the case, it's feasible, but how to divide this official position into fat and thin, it must be fair in the end."

The third master has been trained in government affairs over the years, and his political experience is quite rich, just listening, he has already understood the truth of what Hongqing said, although he applauded in his heart, but he did not bring it to his face, but after muttering for a while, he cautiously asked.

"Father is too worried, how fat and thin the official position is, the officials in the ministry all know it, why do we need to come up with the charter, but the emperor has approved this policy, and there are people in the ministry who are busy, so there is no need for us to worry about it."

Hongqing has long known that the third master has a perseverance, and he always likes to be perfect in everything, which can be said to be an advantage, but Ying Jinger is too trivial, not the way of Ming Jun's governance, after all, a person's energy is limited, if he doesn't know how to divide the right, he will be tired to death, and he may not be able to do things well. As for whether the third master can comprehend the deep meaning behind these slightly plain words, it depends on the third master's own understanding.

"Well, it's okay, let's just leave it at that, go back to Ama and go to this chapter to see what Huang Ama has in mind."

The third master obviously didn't hear the true meaning of Hongqing's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he just felt that Hongqing's words were not unreasonable, so he didn't think about it at all.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the child thinks that this matter must not be rushed, and it is not too late to mention it after returning to Beijing."

Hearing that the third master planned to move the book immediately, Hongqing was really a little crying and laughing, not for anything else, but because of this, he moved the book, and the credit would be there, but it obviously couldn't achieve miraculous results, and he failed Hongqing's hard work in many ways, and in desperation, Hongqing had to quickly dissuade him.

"Well, it's okay, it's just according to what Qing'er said, what about the fourth strategy?"

The third master was not stupid in the end, he was only stunned for a moment, and soon came to his senses, he would no longer stick to his opinion, but he didn't want to admit his mistake, so he said vaguely, and then changed the topic.

"So that my father will know that the fourth policy is that the officials and gentry pay grain in one piece, and the root of it is in the apportionment of the acres, and now the wind of land annexation is gradually rising, and the gentry have gradually become a big tail, and there are countless retail investors in order to evade taxes, and hang the acres of land in their hands under the name of the gentry, and the officials and gentry collude and commit lawlessness, so that the taxes that should be paid to the treasury are all swallowed up by these rats, if there is no change, the country will be shaken."

Speaking of the policy of apportioning the land into the mu and paying the grain with the official gentry, Hongqing's expression was obviously much more solemn, and his words were much more cautious, even so, he was still shocked that the third master was full of cold sweat.

"This, this ......"

When the main body of the day is the official gentry, if you really want to do what Hongqing said, the treasury can certainly be abundant, but his third master completely stood on the opposite side of the official gentry, and the consequences are not fun, the third master was shocked, his eyes were round, and he almost didn't reprimand Hongqing on the spot.

Alas, Daddy really can't take on enough!

Seeing the third master's frightened appearance, Hongqing couldn't help but sigh secretly, but he didn't care very much, and he didn't expect the third master to have the courage to act like this, and it was not bad to retreat and take the fourth master.

"Father is not in a hurry, although this policy is beneficial to the country, it is difficult to do, according to the child's opinion, Huang Mafa is determined, but it may be difficult to persevere to the end, if you really want to force it, it must be a bamboo basket to draw water, an empty ear, the father can propose, but there is no need to do it, if you want to come to the next year, the fourth uncle will be willing to do it."

Hongqing sighed in her heart, but she didn't dare to really let the third master start a surge, so she hurriedly explained.

"Fourth? Qing'er is saying ......, okay, it's decided! Hmm, does Mr. Lee think it's possible? ”

The third master is a shrewd person, after listening to Hongqing's explanation, he was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he already completely understood Hongqing's calculations, and under the overjoy, he slapped his hands with a high-five, and he had already made a decision, but the voice had not yet landed, and suddenly there were some doubts, so he hurriedly threw the question to Li Minquan, who was always sitting quietly on the side.

"Back to the words of the prince, my subordinates thought that what the little prince said, every word was beautiful, and it was really the way to govern the world.

Li Minquan is a smart person, and he has been trained over the years, so he can understand the foundation of the four strategies that Hongqing said, and the person he is really loyal to is Hongqing, how can he contradict Hongqing in such a major matter, and answer the words of the third master, and he will be very neat.

"Well, okay, then act according to Qing'er's charter, Mr. Li will work hard, first sort out a statement with Qing'er, and then go back to the king's own opinions."

Seeing that Li Minquan also agreed with Hongqing's four strategies, the third master no longer hesitated, and readily agreed.

"Father Wang Shengming, it's just that the child still has a love to show."

Seeing that the third master was in good spirits, Hongqing refused to let go of such a great opportunity for deliberations, so he bowed down and said a word earnestly.

"Oh? Qing'er has something to say, and Amma just listens. ”

With the four strategies offered by Hongqing, the third master saw the glory after returning to Beijing, and he was in a good mood, and he was very talkative.

"Father Mingjian, what the child wants to say is the matter of governing the river, the overall situation of disaster relief is now rough, and the matter of governing the river is urgent.

Hongqing got up from his seat, shook his hand, took out a document from his wide sleeve, held it in both hands, and respectfully handed it to the copywriter in front of the third master.

"Well, that's important, let Amma take a look first."

When it comes to governing the river, the third master's brows are furrowed, because the third master is extremely short of money, in addition to the 1.2 million taels of disaster relief expenses he brought from the household department, there is only one million taels of Hongqing from the river Cao Yamen, adding up to 2.2 million taels of silver, which seems to be not old or young, but the disaster relief needs silver, and the river governance also needs silver, and the two ends are not enough, and the third master is also worried about this matter these days.

"Qing'er, this Chen Ama looks good, but the amount of silver to be used is as much as 2.8 million taels, which is ......."

The third master actually didn't know how to govern the river, but he was still extremely attentive, and after reading it, he was not in a hurry to make a decision, but frowned and muttered for a long time, and then opened his mouth with a look of embarrassment.

"Father, the child thinks that the control of the river is an important task for the benefit of all people, and he should strive for perfection, although the cost is much, but it is worth it, as for the difference in silver, the child also has a method of co-ordination, and asks his father to look at it."

While explaining, Hongqing took out a document from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands and handed it to the third master.

"Cash-for-work, tax deduction for work? This one is feasible, well, release water around the lake, more canals can also be built, so that not only can get ten thousand hectares of land, but also can raise fish and lotus root in the lake, and sell it, it is indeed possible to fill the shortage of silver, feasible is feasible, but the Yellow River water is less, the canal water transfer is insufficient, and the water transportation will be hindered, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass the court meeting. ”

The third master carefully passed the supplementary materials handed over by Hongqing, and he already understood Hongqing's calculations, and he was quite moved, but when he thought of the impact of the Yellow River's lack of water on Caoyun, he didn't dare to make a decision.

"The father is worried, however, the child has no other plans, now the Cao Yun is all dependent on the canal, a stone of rice in the south of the Yangtze River is only two dollars of silver, can be transported to the Beijing Division, a stone of rice is already one or two or three dollars of silver, a trip down, the price difference is more than six times, the grain cost of the Beijing Division is 1.8 million stones per year, the difference is large, if it is changed to shipping, a stone of rice to Beijing, the need is less than five dollars, a year is enough to save as much as one million taels of silver, not to mention the elimination of redundant personnel, the province of soldiers, one come and go, It can save a huge amount of 1.5 million taels, and you can't say it. ”

Regarding the third master's worries, Hongqing had already made a plan, and when he answered at this time, he was full of confidence.

"Sea freight? Where did the ship come from? ”

The third master is a person who is as careful as a hair, although Hongqing said it wildly, but he was not confused, and pointed out the key to the problem straightforwardly.

"Back to his father's words, the child has purchased a Portuguese shipyard in Canton in May this year, and intends to invest 400,000 taels of silver to build huge ships, each ship can carry about 10,000 stones, originally for overseas trade, if it is transferred to the transport of water, in addition, the child also asked to set up a naval school in Canton, for the purpose of training sailors, after two years, there will be a number of huge ships enough to be used."

Although the third master's question was tricky, Hongqing had already prepared, and he did not panic at all, and slowly and methodically said the "Kirin Firm" investment in the shipyard, and his words were full of confidence.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hmmm......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing say so surely, the third master couldn't help but feel a little moved, you must know that it is a lot of credit to save 1.5 million taels of silver for the imperial court every year, and the third master has no reason not to be moved, but when he thinks of this chapter, the voice of opposition must be paused, and the third master can't help but hesitate a little, and he muttered for a long time, and did not give a clear answer.
