Chapter 91 Non-interference

Liu Mingguo had been waiting outside, and when he heard the emperor's shout, he hurriedly ran in. He knelt on the ground and said, "The slave and maid knock on Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty say?" ”

"Liu Mingguo takes the order!" Carpenter Zhu shouted loudly.

"The slave and the maid take the order."

"I have decided that from now on, the Royal Engineering Team will be renamed the West Factory, on the one hand, it will still be acting for the projects assigned by me, and on the other hand, it will assist the East Factory in supervising the world. Liu Mingguo continued to take care of the West Factory and was promoted to the Governor and Eunuch of the West Factory. ”

"Slave and maid, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Hearing the emperor's knighthood, Liu Mingguo was so excited that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. You must know that the original official of the imperial engineering team to supervise the eunuch was only set up for a while, and he had no name and no share, but now this eunuch of the West Factory is famous and shared, and he can even compete with the Duke of Wei.

"You will do a good job in the future, and don't let me down what I have done to you." Carpenter Zhu instructed.

"The slave and maid will do their best to share the worries of Your Majesty, and they will never dare to be ashamed of the emperor's dignity." Liu Mingguo kowtowed.

"That's good, alright, you go down first. Let's start preparing now, the West Factory is still located in Xihuamen, what is needed, and I will know it when the time comes. Zhu Carpenter said.

"Yes, yes......" Liu Mingguo kowtowed three more times, and then withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace. This guy is not confused, he knows why happiness came so suddenly, it is all because of Lord Yue's support. Otherwise, how can the emperor have nothing to do to set up a west factory.

became the governor of the West Factory, which was worth a hundred times in one day, and Liu Mingguo even walked in a way that was a little inconsistent with the past. Although the news spread quickly, the eunuchs who don't pay much attention to Liu Mingguo on weekdays are also coming to meet the horses, and some people are rushing to recognize him as a godfather.

The West Factory is known as a temporary product, but whenever it is presented, the governor of the West Factory must be a figure who is greatly favored by the emperor, just like Wang Zhi and Liu Jin in the past.

However, in the Forbidden City, the most popular person is of course Wei Zhongxian, and Father-in-law Wei has the support of the Hakka family, and everyone knows that although Liu Mingguo is popular now, he still can't compete with Father-in-law Wei. Liu Mingguo also understands this matter, and after the holy decree was issued, he went to see Gonggong Wei, and hinted in a very low-key way that he wanted to learn from Gonggong Wei.

On the other side, Yue Su and Zhu Carpenter in the Yangxin Palace were still chatting, and the content of the two of them was still the issue of the imperial court's income. Land revenue, so much in a year, there is still a place to collect in the commercial tax, the result of three taxes and one, a year for three months, can complete the quota. Yue Su made two suggestions at the moment. First, the tax quota system will be abolished, and Luoyang, Hejian Fu, and the two places will be used as pilots to collect three taxes and one commercial tax throughout the year.

For this reason, Yue Su also recommended two officials to the emperor and transferred them there as local officials, which were specially implemented. Luoyang prefect, Yue Su is Lu Xiangsheng, Hejian prefect, Yue Su is Yang Yishan. went to these two places to be the prefect, one is to experience, and the other is to promote the two of them. The emperor also felt that the annual tax was really insufficient, and it was indeed not very appropriate to cancel the quota all of a sudden, and Yue Su's step-by-step method was not bad, and it was approved immediately.

The second point raised by Yue Su is about the salt tax, the two Huai salt taxes are the foundation of the country, the lifeblood of the imperial court, if it can be kept here, the imperial court can at least two million taels of silver a year. As soon as he heard that there was so much extra silver, Carpenter Zhu's eyes lit up and asked Yue Su what to do. Yue Suma made a suggestion and sent a credible person to Lianghuai to manage the salt affairs. Yue Su suggested that Fu Guan be promoted to the two Huai salt patrol envoys, Ni Yuanlu should be the two Huai salt transport envoys, and the east and west factories should send personnel to supervise the dark. Carpenter Zhu also followed the instructions and asked the celebrant to draft the decree.

When the business was over, Yue Su and the emperor started carpentry together, and did not leave until lunch.

On this day, the emperor issued several holy decrees in a row, and all the officials of the court understood that this was Lord Yue's idea. The emperor really trusts Lord Yue, and he can listen to Lord Yue's words the most, so there are more and more officials who have voted for Lord Yue.

But Yue Su is not as good as Wei Zhongxian, he is not anyone who comes to the city to accept it, he doesn't do it, the younger brother he recruits is either honest or skilled, like those who have no skills, only thinking about drilling camps, he is a don't.

A few days later, the emperor's will came to Kaifeng, and the king of Zhou received the decree tremblingly, and when he heard that the emperor invited him to enter Beijing to face the saint, he was extremely puzzled, but he immediately obeyed the order and rushed to Beijing. King Zhou is not a fool, and before entering Beijing, he must not give some points to the celebrities in the capital. The most popular person in Beijing was Yue Su, but he didn't dare to touch this brow, so he had to find two other people who were more popular. These two are eunuchs, one is naturally Wei Zhongxian, and the other eunuch must belong to Liu Mingguo, the new governor of Xichang.

From Wei Zhongxian, he didn't get any accurate news, but from Liu Mingguo, he got accurate news. Liu Mingguo's points are obscure, but a fool can also hear the meaning, the emperor is now immersed in designing the garden, and wants to build it according to his own design. However, the money on hand was limited, and there were many gardens designed, so I had to build every one of them. So after thinking about it, I decided to find Uncle Wang's assistance and build one. Of course, the garden was built in Luoyang, and after it was built, it belonged to the prince, and the emperor went to see the efficacy of his design after it was built. The money for repairing the garden, planning to invite the prince to come out, I don't know if the prince is willing or not, if the prince is unwilling, the emperor will be furious, and the prince's life will definitely not be easy. Therefore, please also ask the prince to be conscious, according to the emperor's wishes, it can cost a lot of money to build a garden, but it is only one or two million taels, which is not a big deal for the prince. If you are reluctant to spend this money, you will be cut by the emperor in the future, and you can't complain about others. This time to repair the garden, the first thing the emperor thought of was you, the prince, it can be seen that the emperor is important to the prince, and the prince must not let the emperor down.

Liu Mingguo's words were all told to him by Yue Su in advance, and Yue Su knew that before King Zhou entered Beijing, he must have inquired about the situation in Beijing and made fun of some powerful eunuchs. Liu Mingguo is the new governor of Xichang, and he must be among the fun.

When King Zhou learned the secret, he put his heart at ease, isn't it just spending money to buy peace, it's not a big deal. He is a hereditary prince for nearly 300 years, and he has some money in his family, but he is still short of this. As long as you don't provoke the Fire Emperor and are cut down and removed from the domain, anything is fine.

After entering Beijing, entering the palace to face the saint, Carpenter Zhu and Uncle Wang first gossiped about homely things, and then talked about the problem of repairing the courtyard for King Zhou. Carpenter Zhu's euphemism, "Uncle Wang, according to common sense, I should have repaired the garden for you, but the imperial court is now unable to make ends meet, and there is really not so much silver. ”

King Zhou hurriedly patted his chest and said: "The emperor, you have seen the outside world like this, you are a piece of love for the king, how can you still let the emperor give this money." The king's design for the emperor has long been in his mind, in fact, he has already planned to ask the emperor to design a garden for the king, but he is embarrassed to speak, today the emperor is like this, the king is flattered, the silver thing, the emperor admonished. ”

"So much for the best. Then I'll let the Ministry of Industry and the internal officials discuss the cost, and now it's almost lunch time, so Uncle Wang will stay and eat with me. ”

"The king thanks the lord Longen."

As expected, King Zhou happily promised to pay for the garden, and then, the other princes were also summoned to the capital to discuss the matter of repairing the garden with money. There can be two vassal kings left by Emperor Taizu Hongwu, not counting the vassal kings of previous emperors, if they are added together, the prince can have hundred. Which of these vassal kings is not a big family, buying and selling land does not cost paying taxes, and there are not many people in the premises who dare to compete, so if they do not make money, they can blame themselves for being mentally retarded.

After the vassal kings entered Beijing, they were willingly squeezed out by the emperor to give out a million taels of silver to keep them safe, and the West Factory also began to get busy, taking the design drawings issued by the emperor separately, and going to various places to recruit people and prepare for construction. For a time, the panache of the West Factory completely overshadowed the East Factory. Liu Mingguo is also the master of the draught and does not forget to dig wells, and he repaid Li for the first time, and was promoted to Li Haoran to sentence thousands of households in the West Factory.

The alliance between him and Yue Su was tacitly understood, and the hundreds of officials in the court knew it. There are many people in the market, and the current Yue Su is Zhang Juzheng in the past, with the support of the emperor and the alliance with the eunuchs, it is really powerful in the world. And there is another more important point, that is, the disagreement between Yue Su and Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng always suppresses the emperor as a teacher, but he and Yue Su advise the emperor as a playmate. Therefore, today is more trusting and reusing Yue Su.

In a blink of an eye, at the end of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Gu Bingqian, the first assistant to the cabinet, was completely hollowed out, and he was bored in this position, so he invited himself. When the cabinet members of the eunuch party saw him leave, they all followed him away, and Fang Congzhe took the position smoothly and became the first assistant again, and according to the ranking, Yue Su was the second assistant. The veteran officials who were put into Yue Su's banner were all called into the cabinet.

Although Fang Congzhe's name is Shoufu, he is also very obedient, knowing that in the temple, he is just an arrangement, and the real thing is the second assistant behind him.

Wei Zhongxian also had no news, and he ran the East Factory every day, quietly looking forward to it. He originally thought that after Yue Su gained power, he would raise matters to him, and he was ready to fight to the death at any time. But what he didn't expect was that Lord Yue had no news all the time, and he was busy for the country and the people all day long. At this time, Gonggong Wei also understood a matter, Yue Su did not fit in with the Donglin Party, and would kill all the non-my race, Lord Yue just wanted to take greater rights, share worries for the emperor, and realize his ideals, he and Zhang Ju are the same kind of people.

As a result, Gonggong Wei no longer went to Yue Su's troubles, and the entire city of Beijing finally calmed down, and everyone did not interfere with each other, and everyone was busy with their own things.

It's really a cup, today I originally wanted to make up for the chapter that was missing yesterday, but it turned out to be a power outage. My full attendance is gone, 5555555555555555555. Tomorrow you must work hard and write more. Come on, Phoenix Wings! Good!
