Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair of the Nuanxiang Pavilion, on his left sat the current Fu Wen Tiren, and on the right sat Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, Hou Sui, the secretary of the household department, Li Changgeng, the secretary of the ministry, Chen Xinjia, the imperial history of the right and a man who was about thirty years old and had a resolute face.

Except for Chen Xinjia, these people are all two-grade court clothes made of red ramie silk and silk, with a large placket and a slanted collar, large sleeves and loose sleeves, and a pattern of cranes soaring in the clouds on their chests. And Wen Tiren even wore a nine-python five-clawed python robe, with a jade belt around his waist.

Wen Tiren's python suit is somewhat similar to the dragon gon suit worn by Emperor Chongzhen, but it is not among the official uniforms, but a kind of gift from Zaifu to receive a special reward, and it is considered a great honor to obtain this kind of gift, and Wen Tiren was also given this python robe in the fifth year of Chongzhen.

At first glance, seeing the emperor and the surrounding group of people who can be said to be the most powerful in the Ming Dynasty now, Rao is 6 Quanyou, who is also a second-grade commander, can't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.

At this time, Chongzhen's flat voice sounded: "6 are all there, let's be flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" 6 Quan You kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen again, and then slowly stood up.

Seeing 6 Quanyou stand up, a smile appeared in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes: "6 Quanyou, how did I do what I asked you to do a few days ago?" ”

After listening to the emperor's words, 6 all had a handle and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister has already found out clearly, that Yingzhou Wulizhai has indeed obtained a bumper harvest this year, and a total of one million quintals of grain." Its Yingzhou garrison Yueyang is indeed a talent, not only in the year before last with 500 foot soldiers to break more than 10,000 bandits, but after serving as the Yingzhou garrison, it is even more vigorously recruited troops to clear out bandits, and at present, the bandits within a radius of 100 miles from the Yingzhou capital have been extinct. After the news of the bumper harvest of grain in Wulizhai came out, it is now a gathering of businessmen, which can be described as a peaceful and prosperous place. ”

"Hmm......" Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "It seems that what Xu Dingchen and Wei Tonghe said in the song is true." ”

Closing his eyes slightly, Chongzhen said softly: "Ladies Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

At this time, the Hou Sui of the Household Department Shangshu said: "6 Commander." The officer was a little curious. It stands to reason that the land of Sanjin is a land of bitter cold, why can the grain be so abundant? This is obviously unreasonable, can you give this official an explanation? ”

The words of the Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui can be said to represent the general voice in the court at this time, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar after Xu Dingchen and Wei Tonghe's recital was sent to the court almost at the same time. The ministers' first reaction was that Xu Dingchen and Wei Tonghe were lying.

As a result, overnight, the imperial historians and officials were gearing up to prepare to impeach Xu Dingchen, Wei Tonghe and Yue Yang, and the three of them. But it is written that everyone has come back to the taste.

This thing is not right, if this thing was made by the guy named Yueyang, maybe it is still possible, but what kind of people are Xu Dingchen and Wei Tonghe, one of them is the governor of a province, and the other is a eunuch guarding the town of Shanxi Zhonggong, if the governor of a province is at this level, wouldn't it be slapping them in the face of these scholars?

As a result, the half-written recitals were thrown into the waste paper basket, and the court was eerily quiet these days. As if it had never happened. But secretly, the matter about Wulizhai and Yingzhou's garrison Yueyang has become a hot topic in the mouths of the people in the capital, and even the favorite mouthpieces of the Jingshi Yanguan and ministers on weekdays have stopped, and everyone has asked people to ask what happened to Wulizhai.

As the eyes and ears of the emperor, the Jinyi Guards of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, naturally did their best to do their best, and with the order of 6 Quan, the Jinyi Guards lurking in the Yingzhou Mansion immediately sent a steady stream of information they had collected into the capital.

After getting a positive answer from 6 of all. An inexplicable joy rose in the young Chongzhen wasteland's heart, and while he listened to the report of the 6 Quanyou, he looked at the faces of the ministers around him, especially the Hou Sui of the Household Department.

Aren't you people always shouting poor? Don't you always say it's difficult? Why can you get a bumper harvest in the bitter cold land on the border of Shanxi, but other rich places, even the land of fish and rice, still frequently shout that there is no harvest, what does this mean? This shows that these people are a group of corpse vegetarians. It is no longer enough to describe them as incompetent, it should be said that they are dereliction of duty.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen, who had not been in a good mood for a few days since he ascended the throne, smiled very happily. He smiled and said, "6 Quanyou, tell me how that Yueyang managed his Wuli Village, making it turn from a bitter cold land into a land of fish and rice?" ”

"This ......"

6 Quan You hesitated for a moment and replied: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen is just a rough man, and he is not good at how to govern one side, this should be what ministers should do." But since the emperor asked, Weichen told him some things he knew, Yue Yang was originally just a showman, although there was a good land in the family, but it could only be said to be a small rich family, but since he was ...... two years ago"

6 Quan You is worthy of being the head of the Ming Jinyi Guard, and in a short period of time, he investigated most of the things in Yueyang. He brought out the things that Yue Yang and the people fought with people on the Sanggan River, dominated the Shanxi salt market, drove the Wang family out of Yingzhou Mansion, and even went out of the customs to marry a Mongolian woman.

Chongzhen listened to the report of 6 Quanyou, his face was silent, but he secretly set off a storm in his heart. This Yue Yang's courage is really not small, and it is okay to sell illicit salt, after all, if he doesn't do this now, someone else will do it. But he dared to marry a Mongolian woman, and this Mongolian woman was also the daughter of the Horqin tribal leader allied with the Houjin, this is not ordinary boldness, isn't he afraid of punishing him himself?

Seeing that Chongzhen was just silent, Wen Tiren on the side rolled his eyes, stood up and saluted Chongzhen and said loudly: "Qi Song Majesty, although Yueyang is a little famous and quite good at Tuntian, but this person married a Mongolian woman without authorization, and married the daughter of an enemy chieftain, the old minister thought that this person may have a little talent, but it is not enough for the court to entrust him to use, even if he does not cure his crime of fornicating with thieves and chieftains, he cannot promote him, otherwise where is my Ming law?" ”

"Tut-tut......"

As soon as Wen Tiren's words came out, everyone present groaned. Wen Tiren's words can't be said to be unreasonable, but it always makes people feel that something is wrong.

Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui stood up and bowed his hand to Wen Tiren: "Elder Wen Ge, the lower officials think that although Yue Yang is a good man marrying a Mongolian woman, it is not a big deal, and it cannot be said that he fornicated with the enemy chieftain. If you don't reward him, won't it chill the hearts of those who have made meritorious contributions? ”

Speaking of this, Hou Sui turned to Chongzhen again and said: "Your Majesty, if there is a big drought today, the grain harvest in various places fails. Only Wulizhai has a bumper harvest, and the imperial court should praise it. In addition, there were no grains of grain in the household department of the imperial court for a long time, and it was time to send people to the state capital to escort and collect grain taxes into Beijing to supplement the needs of the imperial court. ”

Hou Sui is forty-four years old this year, and he is a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli Bingchenke (1616), and the 31st in the top three. He successively served as the imperial history of Shanxi Province, the imperial history of Henan Province, the imperial servant Shaoqing, and the secretary of the household department. It can be said that he walked to the position of the head of the household book step by step.

Moreover, Hou Sui has always admired simplicity, and several times proposed to Chongzhen to reduce the expenses of the imperial court and the feudal kings in various places, but he was opposed by the civil servants with Wen Tiren as the man, and in the end he had no choice but to give up.

According to the function, the Ming Dynasty's household department Shangshu and the later finance ministers are somewhat similar, he has long been so poor that he saw that Wulizhai actually got a bumper harvest, and his heart immediately moved the idea of collecting taxes. Although the grain tax that Wuli Village can collect is not much compared to the entire Ming Dynasty, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and how much can it collect.

But Hou Sui's mention was opposed by Yang Sichang, only to see Yang Sichang stand up and say: "Lord Hou's words are wrong, although Wulizhai has obtained a bumper harvest, but Taizu has already instructed that the land to be cultivated is exempt from grain tax for three years, and now Yueyang has just been cultivated for the first year, and the court is running to collect the cash, doesn't it make the place chill, so who else dares to open up the wasteland to grow grain in the future?"

And this official heard that Yue Yang still has 8,000 soldiers under him, and a lot of food will be consumed every year, if there is too much collection, there will be no food to raise soldiers, who can be responsible for the mutiny? ”

Yang Sichang was born in a famous family, his grandfather Yang Shifang was a famous scholar in Wuling, and his father Yang He was known as a military overseer. Yang Sichang was a jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli (161o). He has successively served as a professor in Hangzhou, a doctor in Nanjing Guozijian, and a doctor in Hebu Langzhong. During the apocalypse, because he was excluded by the eunuchs, he said that he was sick and returned to the country. In the first year of Chongzhen, he became the deputy envoy of Henan and joined the right to participate in politics. Promoted to the right of the capital of the imperial history, governor Yongping. Chongzhen served as Shanshidao (Shanhai Road and Shimen Road in Funing) for three years, Chongzhen was promoted to the governor of Shanhai for six years, and the official was appointed to the military department for seven years.

Yang Sichang and Hou Sui were contradictory, Yang Sichang, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, encouraged the vigorous recruitment of troops and asked the imperial court to allocate grain and silver, but Hou Sui always opposed Yang Sichang's mention on the grounds that the treasury was empty. After all, the Ran family is in charge of the money bag, and Yang Sichang can only give up. Now hearing Hou Sui's proposal to levy grain, Yang Sichang immediately jumped out without thinking.

Hou Sui immediately retorted: "But the treasury of the endless imperial court is empty, if there is no tax, the old man dares to ask Lord Yang, how to maintain the expenses of the imperial court?" ”

Yang Sichang said with a smile: "That's your household business, why did Lord Hou ask about this official?" ”

Hou Sui sneered: "Yes, you didn't say this when Lord Yang stretched out his hand and asked the official for silver?" What's good, as long as Lord Yang promises not to let the household department allocate money from now on, then the official will promise to exempt the grain tax of the Wuli Village! ”

"These are two different things."

"No...... It's one thing......"

The two of you quarreled with me word by word...... (To be continued......)
