Chapter 239 Give Li Zicheng a salary increase and set a fishery

May 16.

Early in the morning, Yang Gai got up and silently wrote down the information he found last night. Yesterday, I got a lot of information about this fishing industry, and I have an understanding of this fishing industry, and I have come up with a good solution.

The ministers are now, have long been accustomed to the habits of today's emperor, ** o'clock to the court, this kind of say, is really better, far from the past, just after the middle of the night to get up from the warm quilt, in the cold winter wax moon, but also to stay in the snow for a few hours, not at all comfortable now, have fallen in love with this kind of work and rest time, of course, there are some old antiques muttering a few words, saying that the emperor is good and evil.

Today is the day of the early dynasty, and the ministers came to Taihemen as usual, ready to participate in the early dynasty, but the emperor temporarily postponed the time of the early dynasty.

There is a row of corridors in the square on the west side of Taihe Gate, which was originally used for the "Daming Huidian", but now there are a few secluded rooms, as a place for the courtiers to tidy up their appearance before going to the court, and it is also a place to rest temporarily.

In front of this corridor, there is a large mirror, which is specially used for the ministers to tidy up their own appearance, which is considered to be fashionable in the palace, and it is also the emperor's plan to promote the dressing mirror.

Guo Yunhou is the head of the household department, but he is the nest of the head of the household department, the emperor doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't want to see him, he doesn't discuss many things, but discusses with his subordinates, which makes him very annoyed, thinking that the money that the household department has handed over now, ten million taels a year, but he sees that he is leaving this position, he is very unwilling and annoyed, but he is not a courtier for others, and others do not treat him, and there is no way.

Guo Yunhou was in a daze in front of the mirror, and a minister came over and said with a smile: "Lord Guo, the weather is good today!" ”

Guo Yunhou was troubled in his heart, and responded dryly: "Hehe, it's good!" ”

"Hehe, this mirror is good! It's big, it's bright, and it's clear to the people, so it's a good baby. The official said casually.

"Yes! This big mirror is really a treasure, and it is really suitable to use it to tidy up your clothes and grooming. Guo Yunhou also sighed, this mirror is hundreds of taels, in this capital, dignitaries, if anyone does not have this kind of big mirror, they are embarrassed to go out, in front of this kind of big mirror to tidy up their clothes, grooming, only to look magnificent.

The official who talked to him said: "Hehe, I heard that Your Majesty minted silver coins this time, and the fineness is quite high, close to the fineness of silver, hehe, Your Majesty is so virtuous, and it is really convenient for the people of the world to mint coins with pure silver!" Saving the people of the world from the pain of using scattered silver is really a rare good government! ......" the official said this without a head.

Guo Yunhou was thinking about something, and when he heard others say this, he said casually: "Hehe, thanks to Your Majesty Shengming......

The official continued: "Hehe, Master Guo is also powerful! Thinking that Lord Guo shouted above the court, he shouted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the household, and I really admired it! ”

Guo Yunhou was trying his best to ease the relationship between himself and the emperor, and when he heard this guy reveal his scars, he was very angry, but he didn't have a seizure, others were not wrong, it was indeed he who shouted at the time, and called hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the household, and he was really annoyed that the emperor only waited to see his subordinates, and discussed everything with his subordinates, but he didn't wait to see himself.

Guo Yunhou couldn't understand why the emperor didn't treat him, Guo Yunhou was ready to ease the relationship between the emperor and himself, this casting was all owned by the household, 200,000 taels, but he also knew that this kind of effect was not big because the emperor didn't make much money, but the casting was very large, even if he tried his best to get the 200,000 taels, it was a drop in the bucket for the casting, Guo Yunhou looked in the mirror in a daze, and didn't bother to pay attention to the guy who exposed his scars just now.

This official surnamed Zhao, who talked to Guo Yunhou, saw that Guo Yunhou did not react to his ridicule, so he felt bored, and went aside, and everyone in the court knew that the emperor had something to discuss with the servant of the household department, not with Shangshu, and Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, shouted in the early dynasty, and called hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the household department, and called the emperor's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the household department. Can this kind of person stay in the court? Everyone is speculating, how long can this Guo Yunhou work? There is a powerful character below, the emperor above is not waiting to be seen, and he also broke the emperor's wealth, this kind of person, in the position of this Shangshu, can not stay for a few days.

The ministers only stayed here for a while, and then they received the news that the emperor had come to the early dynasty, and they lined up one after another to go to the early dynasty.

Taihe Gate.

Everything is as usual, and after the prostration, the formal deliberations begin.

There is really no major matter worth discussing today, and the major event today is disaster relief, and the mission for disaster relief has been decided, and other small things do not need to be discussed in the morning.

Yang Gengai saw that everyone didn't speak, so he spoke: "Is the military department still available?" ”

"The minister is here." Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, stood up.

"I ask you, can the post station be under the management of the military department?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Liu Yanyuan was very strange, why did the emperor ask this?

"Oh. I ask you, is it hard to be a post officer? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's really hard......" Liu Yanyuan didn't know what the emperor was going to do, isn't this nonsense? Involved with the pawn, which one is not hard? I didn't see a thing stained with a "pawn", and it was called refreshing.

"Yes! I also feel hard, I have sent a lot of documents in the past few days, and they are all 700 miles of urgency, I think, I will fly 700 miles in a day, can this person stand it? Yang Gai said.

The ministers below almost laughed out loud, others just ran to death, what do you have to do with you, the emperor, is it possible that Your Majesty, are you still going to try how to run out of these seven hundred miles?

Liu Yanyuan is so embarrassed, discussing this kind of thing with the emperor is really a bit - it feels like playing with a child, why is the emperor's idea so naïve?

"Your Majesty, running out of 700 miles is really tiring, but these 700 miles are not run out by one person, there is a relay of post stations, each post station runs a certain distance, there are 30 miles, there are 120 miles, in this way, 700 miles are shared with dozens of people to run, and it is not so tired." Liu Yanyuan couldn't say anything about His Majesty the Emperor, so he had to hold back the smile in his heart and explain to the emperor.

"This, I know, but I still don't feel easy, although everyone only runs a few dozen miles at a time, but in case this needs to run too many times, it must be very hard! Liu Aiqing, did you say? ”

Liu Yanyuan couldn't understand why the emperor said this to him, so he said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's like this." ”

“…… In the past few days, I have sent hundreds of letters out at once, using 700 miles to expedit, I suddenly thought, these post guards, must be very hard!"

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Liu Yanyuan is no longer able to answer the emperor's words, what is the difference between this and a child's play? How did the emperor think that a play is a play! Usually look at the emperor, quite a shrewd person! Why do you think like a child now?

Yang Gai paused and said: "Through this matter, I suddenly feel that I am going to do far more relief and immigration than my predecessors, which can be described as a huge project, and besides, border passes, military wars are also common, I think that the volume of letters, government affairs, and emergency military intelligence will definitely increase dramatically, I think, do I have to add some subsidies to the post guards?" In this way, can we better convey the urgent government and military affairs of the imperial court, and avoid mistakes? "Yang decided to give Li Zicheng a salary increase.

Outsiders will never know what the emperor thinks or what he wants to do, they only think that the emperor's thoughts are very naïve, and they know that the emperor is interfering in history and saving his own life.

Everyone saw the emperor say this, but also felt a little reasonable, originally some ministers were worried that the emperor was going to find trouble with the post station, now it seems that it should not be, but to add money, many ministers think it is very strange, the emperor does not say to reduce the cost of the post station, but said to add money to the post station, no, add money to the post guards.

Liu Yanyuan's brain is not enough, this post station is a black hole, everyone knows it, the emperor still has to add money to it, I have to say, the emperor is still a little tender, and I don't know what the emperor thinks. However, the words that came out were of another kind: "Your Majesty, it is true, now the number of urgent government affairs and the transmission of emergency military information is indeed increasing, if Your Majesty wants to increase the salary of the post station, the minister agrees." "This kind of good thing of sharing money, don't do it in vain, you can keep some of it, Liu Yanyuan immediately agreed with the emperor, although the emperor was very funny and naïve on this issue.

"Then I ask you, how much is the annual expenditure of this post station now?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, a million taels." Liu Yanyuan said.

"Well, let's add a percent, mainly for the post station fast horse flying, don't use it for the past reception, understand?" Yang decided to add another 10% of the cost to the post station on the basis of not removing the post station, hoping that Li Zicheng would not be unemployed and would love the postman profession even more.

Liu Yanyuan felt that his head was short-circuited, listening to what the emperor said, Liu Yanyuan felt that the emperor knew that this post station was greasy in receiving this aspect of the station, and it was not as naïve as he understood, but he still had to add money to the post station, isn't this beating a dog with meat buns?

"Obey." Liu Yanyuan agreed.

Guo Yunhou's trouble came, the emperor wanted to add money to the post station, 100,000 taels, and now he is looking for 100,000 taels from that place? The only 200,000 taels were all given to the emperor as a casting. I had to come out hard and said: "Your Majesty, now that the imperial court is carrying out disaster relief, the household department has no money to allocate it!" "There is even more trouble, listening to the meaning of the emperor's words, it is to add money to the post guards, but the problem is, if you add money to the post guards, others will not add it? I don't know how many people in the world have the title of "pawn". Where does this money come from? Guo Yunhou felt that his plan to ease the contradictions between the emperors was about to fail, because he had to take money from the emperor's money bag, and the emperor would definitely not treat him even more.

"This money, I will come out. The money must be disbursed immediately, without delay. "This money, Yang Reform originally planned to pay out by himself, but he planned to use this money to stabilize Li Zicheng, hoping that small money can do big things.

"Obey." Guo Yunhou agreed, a little depressed.

…… The early pilgrimage of this day is basically over.

After going down to the court, Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, go and invite Master Xu and the two deputy messengers to the Wenhua Palace, and call Qin Yaozu, I want to do this fishing business, and let Qin Yaozu bring those boat samples." "Yang Reform wants to continue what was not done yesterday.

"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen agreed to come down, and then went to find someone.

Yang Gengai came to the Wenhua Hall first and began to look at his own information.

The first to arrive was Xu Guangqi and a few other messengers, and then Qin Yaozu, who also brought his large and small ship samples.

Salute.

Yang Gaicai said: "I summoned a few people here today to discuss yesterday's matter, I already have a preliminary idea about fishing, and a few of you will listen to it." ”

Several people were silent, listening to what the emperor had to say.

"I synthesized the opinions put forward by several people and came up with such a method, the imperial court funded the construction of various fishing boats, and recruited the victims to fish to save themselves; One or more large and small fishing vessels are organized into a fishing fleet; local fishermen, disaster victims mix and match; The victims of the disaster are invested in the shares, and the local fishermen are also invested in the fishing technology with their strength, each accounting for a certain proportion, and the amount depends on the strength and the fishing technology; The imperial court then took a certain proportion of the shares of the boats, and the fishing boats and fishing teams only needed to complete the quota of the imperial court, and the excess part was disposed of by the fishermen and the victims according to the shares. How do you think? Yang Gai roughly said his plan.

The plan had been thrown, and several of them began to ponder.

Xu Guangqi, a fishery expert among these people, was the first to ask: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, the disaster victims, fishermen, and the imperial court each have a certain share, and what is the share of each of them?" How much does it need to be paid to the imperial court? This is easy to understand by force, between the countryside, there are also many people who invest in the force, or farming, or opening mountains, income, according to the previous agreement, each takes the income, and becomes a shareholder, he is the owner, and he is willing to work hard, and the harvest is more, this minister can understand, and the minister is puzzled that His Majesty seems to intend to let these victims stay in the local area and become fishermen, and do not want them to go to the lake to make fields! Xu Guangqi asked all the core questions.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter how many shares the imperial court occupies, the important thing is that the imperial court needs to catch fish for disaster relief, this ratio, you need to make a conclusion after understanding the situation in the local area, I am here, it's not good to make a conclusion now, it's too much, fishermen, disaster victims suffer, no one goes to fish, less, the imperial court relief can't keep up, so much money is wasted, this, let's discuss it specifically when I get to the place, I only give a bottom line, I hope that the proportion of the imperial court will not exceed half, it is best to be less than forty percent, hehe, I really wanted those fishermen to stay in the local area, Master Xu thought, this natural disaster has lasted for several years, and it is not easy for those victims to learn to fish, should I put them back and let them farm, and find a group of new people to learn fishing? Isn't that a waste? Therefore, my plan is to let the victims who have learned to fish stay in the local area and continue to fish, so that there will be a more stable harvest and this disaster relief will be more reliable. Yang said his plan.

"I understand." Xu Guangqi replied.

"I will say a little more, the fish caught by fishing boats or fishing teams are paid to the imperial court, and the imperial court is mainly used for disaster relief, and does not need fish with high economic value, it only needs to be able to fill the stomach, what is needed is the weight, the victims have no right to be picky, and those with economic value can be sold by themselves, such as shark fins, this must be made clear to the fishermen and the victims." Yang Gengai also instructed that this was the result of Yang Gengai's work that he had worked overnight yesterday. Allowing local fishermen to take shares is to ease the antagonism between the victims and the local fishermen, and to obtain fishing technology, the imperial court does not occupy the majority, for the fishermen, the victims have the spirit of ownership, have the motivation, and can catch more fish, after all, it is to work for themselves, the more they get, the more they earn, the court does not want high economic value, as long as it is more, as long as it can fill the stomach, it is considered to take what they need.

"Your Majesty's Holiness." Xu Guangqi faced such a high-spirited emperor, and he had to say good things about the emperor. There is no more generous emperor than today.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty."

Not to be outdone, several others patted their ass.

"Hehe, Master Xu is familiar with the cost of fishing boats?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, I still know it, but I haven't been involved in this matter for many years, and it's a little vague, and I vaguely remember that the sampan is generally about ten taels, divided into sizes; There are many more yellow croaker boats, and they are also divided into sizes, ranging from dozens to 100 taels, and no matter how large they are, there are hundreds of them. Xu Guangqi doesn't know much about this data, so he can only give a rough idea.

Yang Gai thought about it for a while, and said: "In this way, take the yellow croaker boat as an example, according to one hundred taels, build him two thousand ships first, and it will only be 200,000 taels of silver, and the sampan is this, Master Xu decides by himself, as for the big ship, this Master Xu will decide it himself, and I will not interfere much, the money for this shipbuilding is extra, not included in the disaster relief funds, I will give 300,000 taels first, and then ask for it if it is less, I only have one request, resettle more disaster victims, catch more fish, and provide more people with food, I hope that my people can suffer less hunger, I said." I will never abandon a people, and I hope you will remember my words. "Yang Reform checked the ancient shipbuilding records, and found that this ancient shipbuilding, especially the imperial court shipbuilding, is also very violent, building thousands of ships at a time, without blinking, of course, the ships are not big, or inland river boats.

"Hiss......" Everyone listened to the emperor's words, and their hearts were secretly tongued. It's only 200,000 taels of silver", the surname is 2,000 ships at a time, this courage is indeed big enough, the emperor is very refreshing, and it is very in line with the identity of the emperor.

"Your Majesty's Holy Virtue ......" Xu Guangqi was moved by the emperor in a mess, and what he thought about was to die to repay His Majesty's knowledge and trust.

"Your Majesty's Sacred ......"

"Your Majesty, don't give up, don't abandon ......," Zhou Yanru shouted.

Everyone was also moved by the emperor's cheerfulness and the emperor's attitude towards his own people.
