For this question, Hou Sui didn't know how many times he had already calculated it in his heart, and he immediately replied without thinking: "Back to the emperor, if the normal tax is paid according to the imperial court, Wulizhai should pay 300,000 quintals of grain, or equivalent to 290,000 taels of silver. ”

"300,000 quintals? Isn't it too little? After a few slurps in Chongzhen's mouth, he seemed to have some unfinished words.

"Your Majesty, 300,000 taels or 290,000 taels of silver is already a lot."

Hou Sui was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, originally according to the ancestral system, there were 300,000 acres of land in Wulizhai that were only opened up this year, and they should not be taxed. ”

"Alas...... I don't know that. Chongzhen sighed and looked at the sunset outside the hall with a lonely expression, "Hou Aiqing, you said that a barren Wuli village, with a land of only hundreds of thousands of acres, can hand over 300,000 quintals of autumn grain, but Jiangnan, which is known as the land of fish and rice, has thousands of miles of land, and the grain paid all year round is only millions of quintals, why is this, can Aiqing tell me?" ”

At this time, Chongzhen's words were full of lonely melancholy, and he seemed so lonely.

Looking at the lonely figure of Chongzhen standing in front of the door, Hou Xun's eyes turned red. His lips moved a few times, and he originally wanted to say something, but in the end he endured it, after all, this topic is too sensitive, not to mention his small Hubu Shangshu, even Chongzhen, who is the Son of Heaven, can't touch this forbidden area.

"That's it......" Chongzhen turned his head and smiled: "In short, the grain harvest is a good thing, so that the imperial court can have surplus grain to send to the front line in Liaodong." By the way, I also have a note here, which was sent by Lu Xiangsheng, he said that he planned to transfer Yueyang to Hunyuan Prefecture as a garrison, and the garrison of the state capital should be replaced by Yue Shunbao, Yueyang's old department, what does Aiqing think? ”

Hou Sui agrees with this: "This matter can be agreed." Yueyang is not only good at military affairs, but also good at Tuntian, if he can expand the Hunyuan Prefecture into a land of fish and rice like Wuli Village. It's also a great thing for Daming! ”

"Well, that's what I thought, too." Chongzhen nodded, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yue Yang is indeed a cadre, and he has paid hundreds of thousands of taels of grain for the imperial court in just one year, and he has made great contributions. If he can build Hunyuan Prefecture into another Wuli Village, what does it matter if I give him a position as a chief soldier? ”

"It seems that the emperor really attaches great importance to this Yueyang, that's it. Add fire to him now! Hou Sui thought to himself for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Yueyang is indeed a talented person, and Weichen thinks that the emperor might as well promote Yueyang to command Tongzhi, and take charge of the tuntian and military affairs of Hunyuan Prefecture and Yingzhou Prefecture, what do you think?" ”

"Promote Yue Yang to commander Tongzhi? I heard that Yue Yang has a reputation for talent. Will he be willing? ”

Chongzhen was stunned, Yue Yang's previous official position was a guerrilla general and a garrison of the state capital, which belonged to the fourth grade, and this official position belonged to the liuguan, that is to say, it still belonged to the civil official system, but if he was promoted to the commander and the same knowledge, it would be hereditary, that is to say, from now on, Yueyang's family will only have the share of being a military general. Although the commander is an official from the third grade, I'm afraid that people are really not very happy.

Hou Sui smiled, "Your Majesty, there is a way that thunder, rain and dew are all monarchs' graces, and the emperor looks down on him, and it is his blessing to reward him with an official position, how can he be unconvinced." ”

Chongzhen thought about it, he was right, he was the emperor. What official position he is given is just a matter of his own words, if Yue Yang doesn't like to be a hereditary military attache in the future, he will change it back for him.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen agreed to Hou Sui's suggestion: "Okay, just do what Aiqing wants and pass on my will." Yueyang was crowned as the commander of Shanxi, the captain of the light car, and was responsible for the military preparation of the Tuntian in Yingzhou and Hunyuan Prefecture. He was ordered to take office in Hunyuan Prefecture immediately. By the way, don't forget to hand over the autumn grain before letting Yue Yang take office! ”

"Uh......"

…………………………………………

"Commandment...... There is now a garrison of Yueyang in Yingzhou, loyal to the country, and hoarding grain and training for the country...... Zi appointed him as the commander of Shanxi Province and the commander of the Qingche Commander. I hope that he will live up to my expectations and hoard grain for the country............ Chin this! ”

An official of the Ministry of Officials stood in the lobby of Yue's mansion, holding a bright yellow edict in his hand and reading it aloud, kneeling in front of him Yue Yang, behind Yue Yang was the old lady of the family, several of his daughters-in-law and a large group of subordinates.

"Lord Yue, hurry up and receive the order to thank you!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked at Yue Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, and gently walked over to remind him in his ear.

"This ......"

Yue Yang only felt that his brain was a little insufficient, what was going on, Lu Xiangsheng just wanted to transfer himself to Hunyuan Prefecture, how could the imperial court turn himself into hereditary?

Seeing Yue Yang kneeling on the ground stunned, the official of the Ministry of Officials pulled his sleeve and said, "Lord Yue, thank you quickly!" ”

It was only at this time that Yue Yang came back to his senses and bowed down with a wry smile: "Minister Yueyang is grateful!" ”

"Lord Yue, congratulations!"

The officials smiled and arched their hands at him, and shoved the decree into his hand.

Yue Yang took the holy decree, and there was a wry smile in his heart, from now on he will also become a member of the hereditary generals, but what is this, the Ming Dynasty has not had a few good days, and the generals will be generals.

Handing over the holy decree to Yuling behind him, Yue Yang glanced at Cao Youqian, the housekeeper standing behind him, and Cao Youqian hurriedly walked up to the official and quietly stuffed two silver tickets to him.

The official was also not polite, stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said to Yue Yang with a smile: "Lord Yue, the lower official still has official business, so I will leave first." ”

"Slow down, adults!"

Yue Yang didn't leave him behind, and sent him to the gate of the mansion, and then came back.

At this time, everyone in the hall gathered, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Yue Yang walked up to the old lady and bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "Grandma, you see this is a trouble, and my grandson doesn't know that things will turn out like this." ”

When he said this, Yue Yang was still quite worried that the old lady would be angry, the old man was originally a person who valued literature over martial arts, but now he has become a hereditary martial artist, I am afraid that his old man will not be able to figure it out for a while.

The old lady looked at Yue Yang kindly, but she was not angry, but comforted: "Grandson, as the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, since the emperor has made you a commander and a fellow knowledge, then there must be his reason, and you will be next." ”

"Yes, big brother, aren't you promoted, this is a good thing, it doesn't matter what official he is, as long as he is promoted, why are you unhappy?" Yue Yang's sister Yue Ying didn't understand the difference between a hereditary official and a rogue official, and looked at Yue Yang with wide eyes and curiosity.

"You!" Seeing Yue Yang's innocent face, Yue Yang's originally depressed heart was also a lot easier. It has been more than two years since Yue Yang came to this time and space, Yue Yang, who was originally a yellow-haired girl, is now fifteen years old, her body has grown, and her whole person has become more and more beautiful, Yue Yang stretched out her hand and knocked on his head affectionately.

However, seeing that the old lady didn't blame herself for her abruptness, Yue Yang was also a lot more relieved. But the next thing everyone is thinking about how to go to Hunyuan Prefecture to take up their posts. Yue Yang is not a person who feeds the whole family without being hungry now, he is now a big family, and he can't just leave.

Seeing Yueyang's embarrassment, the old lady smiled and said, "What are you worried about, grandson, Hunyuan Prefecture is not Taiyuan from Yingzhou Capital, that is, it is only a day or two away." Since Sun Er has served as the commander and Tongzhi, he will have to live in Hunyuan Prefecture in the future, and Hai Lanzhu, this girl is pregnant, and she can't do without you. That's fine, let's all move in as a family, so that you don't have to worry when you get there. ”

"Grandma, would you like to move in with your grandchildren?" Yue Yang was overjoyed. What he was most worried about was that the old lady was used to living in Hunyuan Prefecture with him in Yingzhou, but he didn't expect her to be so open-minded, so that the family affairs that plagued him were solved.
