"The ministers knock before the king." In the Xia Wangxing, which was changed from the former governor of Huguang, a group of ministers were bowing to Zheng Kezang, who had just returned from victory. "The king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"Flat." Zheng Kezhang waved his hand, so the courtiers dressed in vermilion 6 continued to get up, and then they listened to Zheng Kezang say. "I heard that some people do not approve of moving the shogunate to Kohiro, and think that the foundation of the domain is on the coast, which is basically good, but in the future, most of the major wars will be in the west and north, and the Qing and others will say that it is convenient to send troops from Kohiro or Jiangbei." The ministers did not meet Zheng Kezang as soon as he came up, and he was silent, but fortunately, Zheng Kezhang only collected and released it and did not go deeper, but changed his words. "Lone also knows that Qing and others are hard, and Qing and others are lonely Xiao He, little achievements, all kinds of hard work, lonely eyes in the eyes and heart, will not forget, and there will be rewards in the future."

"Don't dare!" The courtiers knelt down again and sang under the leadership of Prime Minister and Cabinet Minister Chung Young-pyeong. "Loyalty to the king is the duty of the minister"

"It's good to do your part!" Zheng Kezhang chuckled. "Let's all get up and talk about the feudal government in the past six months"

In fact, although Zheng Kezhang is leading the army outside, the feudal government is under his control all the time, and now this statement shows that he is not biased towards the military and the government, and he also respects the civil ministers.

Deng Lincai, a cabinet minister and secretary of the Ministry of Water, was the first to report on the latest situation of land inspection in Zhejiang and Fujian: "The two prefectures of Shaoxing and Taizhou have completed the clearing of all the acres of land, and a total of 16,427 acres and four acres and two cents of hidden fields have been clarified; Ningbo and Jinhua have completed seventy percent of the acres of land, and have cleared out 7,988 acres and five acres of hidden fields; Yanzhou and Chuzhou have not yet begun to clear their feet, so there is no report for the time being; As for Fujian, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, and Xinghua have completed the clearing of 80 acres of fields, and a total of 18,100 hidden fields have been cleared. In addition, the three prefectures of Zhangzhou, Jianning, and Yanping have completed the clearing of four acres of fields, and clarified the hidden fields."

Deng Lincai reported in detail the results of the Qingzhang of the two provinces, and then reported some situations in the process of Qingzhang: "The gentry and villagers of the two provinces have many conflicts with the Qingzhang, and the local government has also many non-cooperation.

When Deng Lincai said this, Hong Gongzhu, who had just returned to serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, also stepped forward and reported: "The minister checked the file, and at the request of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Water, the town armies of the two provinces dispatched a total of 147 times, successively beheaded 321 mobs, arrested more than 5,720 people, and seized a number of weapons such as birds, earthen cannons, bows and arrows, swords, and a large number of agricultural tools such as hoes and nail rakes. ”

Lin Liangrui, the chief secretary of the Grand Trial Court, then issued a report: "The branch of the Zhejiang and Fujian Grand Trial Court reported to the office that Zhejiang and Fujian fought against the Qing Zhang, and according to the legal register, there are 527 households, a total of 4,729 acres and three acres of land, and a number of floating wealth such as gold, silver, silk and jade, as well as a number of houses and villages, which have been transferred to the state treasury and the provincial treasury, and the people involved will go to Qiongzhou, Jinlan, Xiboni, Minna and other places respectively according to the severity of the punishment involved."

The so-called exile to Qiongzhou and other places is not a simple exile, but the relocation of the whole family to the penal colony, which can reduce the number of death sentences and enrich the remote prefectures and counties and colonies, which is the so-called killing two birds with one stone. Of course, the common people who were forced to drive away from the countryside would not say yes, and those squires who instigated and organized rebellion would also become an unstable factor in the colony, but Zheng Kezhang had a way to deal with it, and he would not particularly care about it.

In fact, Zheng Kezhang is more concerned about whether Zheng Jun's military discipline and the people who handle it in the process of suppression are corrupt: "Send the confiscated details and the treasury and the treasury and the warehousing documents of the feudal treasury to the audit yamen for review." ”

Zheng Kezhang said that because he has always distrusted the integrity of officials, he has to find ways to establish a set of relatively perfect rules and regulations to restrain them: "If there is any such thing in the future, the audit yamen should go to the audit together, and the supervision yuan should also send personnel to supervise, and the tripartite contract may not make the cunning officials profit from it." I think that this can always be the law. ”

The three people who came out of the column were a little embarrassed, but at this moment, they could only bow down with the ministers and say, "The king is sage." ”

Zheng Kezhang asked the three of them to retreat, and then Zhang Riyao, the prime minister, reported in the column: "This year's national revenue is 20% less than last year, totaling 28,134,127 guan and 47 wen, about 14,077,070 taels of Hekuping, and 1,910,000 stones, four buckets and three liters of grain. The reason for the decrease in national revenue was the decrease in salt tax revenue, the abolition of local customs duties, and the decrease in Jiangnan tribute after the adoption of the tax-sharing method in Jiangnan and northern Zhejiang. ”

The amount of money collected is not counted, and the expenditure is still very large, which cannot but make the finance and taxation department feel uneasy: "This year, the expenses of this domain have reached 29,475,525,155,150,000 yuan, about 19,737,700 taels for Hekuping, 1,341,098 for 1,003 Wen, and 670,000 for Hekuping and another 500,000. ”

"There are two reasons why the expenses are so huge. First, after the implementation of the government in Jiangnan and northern Zhejiang, the expenditure increased sharply, and the revenue and expenditure at the prefecture and county levels were unbalanced, so that the provincial and feudal levels needed a large amount of subsidies. "Speaking of which, the deficit part is actually allocated by Zheng Kezhang from the inner treasury, but because the original exclusive industry of the Internal Affairs Department has been opened for 6 consecutive years, the era of profiteering has ended, and the inner treasury is less in and more out, and Zheng Kezhang can't bear it if it goes on like this, so Zhang Riyao, who knows part of the truth, commented." This is still in the richest Jiangnan and northern Zhejiang, and if the government goes to the countryside to fully implement it, with the current financial resources of this domain, it is really not enough. Moreover, the salaries of officials crowded out a large amount of local expenditure, so that the king's idea of using local financial resources to carry out local construction was completely frustrated, so the ministers may have thought that it was not appropriate to immediately promote the government to the countryside. ”

"The overhead sounds a little bigger." Zheng Kezhang also admitted that there was a financial problem, but he thought that this was a problem in the exhibition and could be solved. "But as far as I know, there is still a little benefit for the government to go to the countryside, at least the government decree can let the villagers smell it, and the local big households cannot be deceived from it, and because of the implementation of tax distribution, the tax income is related to the salaries and evaluations of local officials, so the local government has also increased the intensity of commercial tax collection."

Zheng Kezhang was talking, and Cai Hanxiang, the head of the Supervision Yuan, said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the local governments and counties need more financial resources to ensure the salaries of officials after the tax distribution, or because of this, the exploitation of the people has been increased, so that the people talk about their own feudal domain and the people to take profits. ”

"That's the responsibility of your Supervisory Yuan." Zheng Kezhang looked at Cai Hanxiang unhappily. "Otherwise, what use do you want?" Zheng Kezhang hates the saying that he is fighting for profit with the people, how did the former Ming end up, isn't it caused by those guys who shouted not to fight for profit with the people and desperately dug into the corners of the country, so Zheng Kezhang scolded very unceremoniously. "Lone remembers that Qing is the head of the Supervision Yuan of this domain, not the imperial history of the Ming Metropolitan Inspectorate, and Lone did not invite Qing to comment on the gains and losses of political affairs, Cai Qing, you are a little arrogant."

Zheng Kezhang is a dictator, and he has just come down from the battlefield, and his face is immediately angry, this reprimand not only made Cai Hanxiang kneel to the ground, but the other courtiers were also a little disdainful, so the Counselor Cabinet Minister Ke Ping said: "Please also ask the king to calm his anger, Lord Cai's words are out of the public heart." ”

"Lone knows that his words come from the public heart, so it must be right if it comes from the public heart. The so-called each has its own responsibilities, and he can't let him pick up the gaps. Zheng Kezhang looked at Ke Ping and swept Cai Hanxiang who was kneeling on the ground, and lifted it up lightly. Forget it, you are also an old man of this domain, this time you will be punished for half a month for misconduct, and you will be listed as a light punishment. After Cai Hanxiang thanked him, he returned to the queue with a miserable white face, and Zheng Kezhang asked Ke Ping to step back, and then pointed to Lu Xuefang, who had returned from the post of governor of Hunan to serve as the secretary of the ministry. Lu Qing, Cai Qing transgressed his duties, but Qing was in charge of the heavenly officials but turned a blind eye to the officials, so he was also punished for half a month. ”

Lu Xuefang was punished for half a month inexplicably, which can be described as extremely wronged, but Zheng Kezhang is the sovereign, and he is not good at Zheng Kezang, so he pressed the grievances of his belly and went out of the column to admit his mistake and thank him, and the eyes that looked at Cai Hanxiang after returning to the column were wrong.

But Zheng Kezhang didn't care about the contradictions between the courtiers that he single-handedly provoked, and just asked Zhang Riyao: "Qing just said only one reason, what about that reason?" ”

Zhang Riyao saw Zheng Kezhang beating his courtiers repeatedly, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he replied truthfully: "Another reason is that the king won too quickly this time. ”

Of course, winning quickly is not the reason for the fiscal deficit, the key is that after Zheng Jun took Huguang, he took the situation north to Henan, and the millions of people who plundered back were the real culprits. Although Henan is very close to Huguang, it can be gradually settled down as soon as it passes the three passes of Yiyang, although the Zheng army attacked quickly and saved a large amount of military rations, although it took advantage of the autumn harvest to replenish grain from Henan on the spot, but this only made the Yumin die fewer people when they went south, and the division of land, building houses, and public security, which did not require money, suddenly turned the original surplus treasury into a place where rats could starve to death.

Of course, in this way, there is no need for Qingzhang in Hubei, Hunan and even Guizhou, and even the government can go to the countryside to promote it together. However, this is only to dig a bigger bottomless pit, and you must know that in order to appease the people of Shitun in various places, Zheng Fan has a policy of three exemptions and two reductions, which is equivalent to saying that the burden of Huguang and Guizhou officials going to the countryside will have to be borne by the central finance, and the time will not be less than three years.

Because this issue is related to Zheng Kezang's decision-making, Zhang Riyao, who had just witnessed Zheng Kezang's performance, naturally did not dare to continue to dwell on this issue, so he just changed his words and reported as the secretary of his own Quanzhi (Duzhi) department: "Quanbu thinks that the current situation will not be able to continue to use troops within three years. ”

Zheng Kezhang immediately asked rhetorically: "Can't you be in Yunguichuan?" ”

"If you can rely on the local financial resources of Yunnan and Guangxi, you may be able to fight a dozen."

Guangxi has historically been a financial aid recipient province, and the situation in Yunnan is a little better, but the long-term war has also made its economy withered and the people suffered, so that the Qing army could not take advantage of this large province instead of relying on Sichuan's aid, and finally Sichuan lost and had to give up to Zheng Fang.

"Then put aside the plan to continue the expansion for the time being," Zheng Kezhang had to disappoint the military department. "Let's recuperate with the people for a while."
