Palace! There is no secret at all" The news that the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Admiral and the Eunuch Sun Hai scraped and cut the Che Emperor to visit the West Garden, spread throughout the Forbidden City that night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The West Garden is no different from a wasteland in everyone's hearts. didn't expect to be used by Sun Hai, and many people secretly admired Sun Hai's wonderful techniques.

After all, everyone still knows that Emperor Wanli was in high spirits that night, and after returning to the palace, he rarely gave the queen a smile.

Sun Hai was originally one of the great eunuchs, and the place was there, and it was not a big deal for the Son of Heaven to go to Xiyuan to play, it was just a part of the palace over there, so everyone was happy, and no one wanted to say anything.

Now the first priority inside and outside the palace is to write off the income and expenditure, if you don't do this well, the palace doesn't even dare to set the amount of money for the New Year, since the Son of Heaven has this preference, it is up to him.

After Wanli's wedding, the time spent with the Empress Dowager Cisheng was greatly reduced, and the Wanli Emperor, who had long been tired of the Empress Dowager's admonitions, was reluctant to come over at all except for routine greetings.

Empress Dowager Li was reluctant to give up her son, but she also knew that after the wedding. Wanli is already regarded as a *person, at least in form, it should be treated as a *person.

The palace was lonely, and the Wang family couldn't come and go every day, and the Empress Dowager Li and King Lu got along longer and longer, and King Lu mentioned moving out to live several times. were all vetoed by Empress Dowager Li.

"You are just a doll, accompanying the mourning family, who can say anything, stay is, watch you study and learn skills, and the mourning family is also happy to watch.

Wanli just wants his family to come less, and he doesn't care whether the child of King Lu is a vassal or not, and he even feels that there is someone with the queen mother to attract the attention of the queen mother, which is a good thing that he can't be happy about.

The Tianjin Acropolis has begun to close the river and the sea. There were no ships, Wang Tong's mind was all on buying horses and training troops, and in addition to the routine greetings, the letter said that the Tianjin Wei Jinyi Guard and the Huwei Army had arranged various plans step by step, and some interesting anecdotes.

What Tianjin Wei and the surrounding counties, the bones after slaughtering cattle and sheep were all collected by Jinyiwei. Boil a large pot of bone broth by the sea river. Throw in the fish and shrimp, and there is no shortage of salt.

Because of the grain cantonment that relied on the grain for grain transshipment, some of the obsolete old grain was bought at a low price, and although there were many laborers, there was no shortage of food supply.

As a result, now by the Weihai River in Tianjin, because the laborers eat enough food every day and drink bone broth and fish soup with oil and water, they are envied by everyone.

There are even rumors that these chaotic people eat better than good people, so everyone will go to make trouble, and when the time comes, come to Lord Wang's side to eat cakes and drink bone broth.

Good people are like this, and many poor families also come here to beg for a living, and if they want to find an introduction or do errands, they don't go when they are full, but they can stutter.

At the suggestion of Wang Tong, Tianjin Acropolis took advantage of the relatively loose hand this year and was led by Bingbeidao. With the assistance of the Household Department and the Qing Military Administration, the food funds were allocated and the Dingkou who came to the Tianjin Acropolis were hired to clear the river and repair the wharves and roads in preparation for the coming year.

After all, this year's canal and Haihe River will be taxed, and as usual, some will be left for the Liujinwei area, which is also the rule of distribution.

Tianjin Wei went through a civil unrest this year. At this time, it is a thriving momentum, which is different from the situation in other places where there is chaos and it will take a few years to be rebuilt. Wang Tong also said in the secret letter that several sea ships had been confiscated, and that there would be more time to use ships in the future. I'm thinking about building my own ship, etc., etc.

In addition to the fact that the chaotic people ate better, which made many people envy this incident, Wanli couldn't be interested in the rest of the things, especially the naval battle that Wang Tong took great pains to describe, Wanli felt really boring.

Fighting at sea is nothing more than a ship approaching and firing cannons, or jumping onto the opponent's ship to fight. There is a land battle so Jin Ge Iron Horse, blood boiling, I really don't know why Wang Tong is like this

Look.

In addition to Tianjin. In addition to watching other things, the bigwigs didn't let him stretch out his hand at all, and in such a boring life, the more Emperor Wanli felt that Xiyuan was a good place.

There, in addition to the gorgeous scenery of Qionglou Yuyu, that kind of quietness, the feeling of completely belonging to him, made Wanli very comfortable.

After all, the imperial study is too cramped, and there can be such a world that makes him completely relaxed and completely belongs. The little emperor was very infatuated, Xiyuan was a complete palace, he let people vacate the room there, arranged for the palace maids and eunuchs to be on duty to take care of it, and went over to play whenever he had time.

Sun Hai, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, will naturally not be idle, as long as Emperor Wanli passes, he must be by his side.

Even Sun Hai's experience of following is different from others, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng are like elders with different relationships in Wanli, and the two of them may admonish. or suggestion, or persuasion, everywhere in charge of the Wanli Emperor's actions, Zhang Juzheng of the foreign dynasty is a strict teacher, not at all.

The rest of the eunuchs, ministers, Emperor Wanli could feel that they all had a kind of estrangement behind the respect, and these people knew that their own master was not Wanli, but

Sun Hai is different, Sun Hai's words and actions are all to make Wanli happy. flattering horses everywhere, so that Emperor Wanli felt that there was nothing unpleasant, and it was comfortable to be with him.

It seems that it is very sudden, in the month of the sixth year of Wanli, Sun Hai, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, suddenly became a popular person next to the emperor, not to mention what the other eunuchs think, the two queen mothers acquiesced to the closeness of the imperial horse eunuch and the emperor, after all, it is not a bad thing to let the emperor seize military power.

At this time, the north-south travel is between January. A boat set off from Jiangnan and traveled along the canal to the north. Then return, counting the assignments from various places, two months is also required, and some ships come to the north to do business, and often stay in the north to run a few more places. It's going to take longer.

The news of the tax draw on the Wei Canal in Tianjin really spread in Jiangnan, that is, during September and October, and then the people in Jiangnan calculated how much silver they had been siphoned off. Write to the people of the north, and it's almost November and December.

The family of Jingguan Duonan wrote to complain. There are also people who say that the family pays for your education. It's hard to earn a reputation but can't maintain the family or something.

However, some time ago, Tianjin Weixiang was in turmoil, and the officials of the Beijing Division suffered a loss, although there were bigwigs above to maintain it, and there was no punishment, but the commandment also made people discouraged.

What's more, now that the New Year is approaching, everyone is busy with the New Year, it is better to be quiet, don't make too much noise to have a bad year, everything will be talked about after the year.

However, in the halls of various guilds in Beijing, in the homes of relatively wealthy officials, many scholars and civil officials gathered every day, and everyone discussed and discussed with each other. It's all about the tax customs of Tianjin."

"Mr. Chen, when Hongwu was in the ninth year. Shanxi Pingyao chief book Cheng Le's term of office expired, and the assessment results of the state government were based on the results of his "ability to restore commercial taxes, and praise him for entering Beijing to see the emperor, but he was Taizu" tax has a fixed amount. If it is possible to restore it, it is to record and cut down the people. Dereliction of duty, the state examination is not "but an order to reprimand and demote, why is this!" small

In the study of King Lu Zhu Hualdehyde, opposite the small sat the prince of the country, the priest of the wine Chen Ge, who was the great Confucian of the world. It is also the teacher that Empress Dowager Li invited for King You.

Hearing King Lu ask this catty, question. whitish whittle. Chen Ge, who was tall and thin, nodded slightly, got up and said:

"Your Highness, when the great grandfather founded the country, he saw the people recorded the people with heavy taxes, so that the people were not able to make a living. The world is in turmoil, with this as a reference, the grandfather promulgated in Hongwu Ershru, "All commercial taxes, thirty and take one, those who pass the order will be violated." of the Law

King Lu nodded as if he didn't understand, turned the page again and continued to read, Guozi Priest Chen Ge sat back, exchanged glances with a civil official beside him, and all of them showed approval.

After reading the book over there, King Lu's childish face had a contemplative expression like an adult, and he looked up and asked:

"Mr. Mu, in the thirty-ninth year of Emperor Shizongsu, Yang Shiqiao taxed the Hangzhou Mansion, and he asked the wood merchants to write down their own income and then collect taxes. A total of fifteen taels of silver in taxes a year, but the world is really praised, called Mingchen, and from Hangzhou Mansion to Xijiang's participation in politics "can be a courtier." Shouldn't you collect more money for the court? ”

The civil official next to Chen Ge also got up. He is in good shape, he is only as tall as Chen Ge's shoulders, and his age is not that he is Mu Naiben, a review of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also a very famous person, so he replied:

"Your Highness, the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and how much the people earn is actually how much the Heavenly Family earns. The left and right are the same, do not compete with the people, the people are rich and the country is strong, and govern with the way of the sage, which is the foundation of the peace in the world. ”

Both of them are old masters. When the world-famous Confucian, well-read and strong, the actual records of the past dynasties, others want to turn the book to inquire, but they come casually, without effort.

King Lu nodded again and again, his face was full of curiosity, and after listening, he suddenly shook his head and said

"I want to give the emperor's brother a warning

Look at the child's innocent look. Chen Ge and Mu Naiben both sighed, bowed down together with their fists, and pleaded:

"Your Highness, please do not go to Your Majesty's side to say this. It is useless for the ministers to wait for mustard, Your Highness must not spoil the brotherhood with Your Majesty, then the ministers will die and cannot be redeemed. ”

"Hurry up, two gentlemen, don't say anything, you guys hurry up"

King Lu's pink carved face was full of anxiety.

Zhu Linggong, the king of Lu, did not ask Emperor Wanli these words, but this question and answer spread outside the palace. The literati all praised each other privately. King Lu is really a virtuous king."

Thank you
