After disturbing and discussing for half an hour, there was no accurate statement, and finally Zhu Xu said that he was off topic, and what he discussed today was how to reply to the other party's request for compensation, rather than discussing whether the sea ban was open or not.

Fortunately, this time, the vast majority of people reached an agreement and did not agree to compensation, and a small number of people proposed that they could properly compensate the other party, such as providing the other party with some trade convenience or inconsequential technology, and then it was Da Zhou's crop seeds, after all, Da Zhou would also purchase some crop seeds from them that were not available locally.

After the end of this topic, it was the military department Shangshu who stood up, saying that it was about to enter winter, and that it was time to prepare cotton jackets and quilts for the army for the winter, which was a big expense, but the household department said that the bank treasury was tight, saying that this year's agricultural tax reduction, handicraft industry and commercial development were affected by the increase in taxes and showed a downward trend, and the taxes collected were the same as in previous years.

However, this year's annual situation is not good, as there is a rare drought in the north and west of the country, and a locust plague has occurred in the southwest.

However, the head of the household department also mentioned that it was a marriage fee reserved for the second prince and the third prince at the beginning of the year, and if the two have no marriage plan this year, they can consider embezzling this fee first.

As soon as this matter was raised, some people opposed it and some people agreed, and there were cabinet members and officials of the Ministry of Rites, as well as some household officials and military generals, and there were two reasons for opposition: first, once this fund was misappropriated, I was afraid that it would be difficult to raise this fee before this year or even next June. Second, military supplies are an indispensable expenditure item every year, and this year's embezzlement of the two princes' marriage expenses, what about next year?

There are also many people who agree, there are also cabinet members and household departments, military officials and some military generals, these people mean that things are prioritized, at present, it is obvious that the supply of the army is more important, as for the cost of the two princes and next year's supply, then wait until next year, maybe next year's commercial tax can be increased, as well as overseas trade, this year is just launched, the effect is not very obvious, maybe next year is mature, the input will also increase.

This issue quarreled for another half an hour, and in the end it was decided by Zhu Xu, first embezzling half of the cost, and the other half of the cost was squeezed from the various celebrations at the end of the year and the maintenance costs of various palaces and palaces.

The next few topics were relatively peaceful, one was about the prevention and control of the locust plague, although the court meeting also expressed their opinions, but there was no dispute; the second is about the list of autumn festivals reported from various places and the preparation for the next spring season; the third is the celebration arrangement of the emperor's birthday next month; Fourth, it is about the rule of officials.

Originally, after the arrest of the officials involved in the case of reselling military rations in the five northern cities in the old year, there had been a marked improvement in the administration of officials, but this time there were signs of tax reform in the Jiangnan region, and some people had omitted and concealed reports in order to hijack handicraft and commercial taxes, and some officials were involved in the reselling of salt.

Next, he discussed two cases recently broken in Dali Temple, one is the murder case of the local official Cao Kanren, the bitter lord traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to sue the imperial court, and Zhu Xu was transferred to Dali Temple, and the other is a case of scientific research fraud in the northwest region, in which local officials were also involved.

The two cases were read out by Dali Siqing and the facts and results of the cases were reported, and officials from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also went out to explain the trial process and the application for closing the case.

In the end, Jing Zhaoyin stood up and said that there were two homicides in the capital, the identity of the deceased had been identified, and the perpetrator was still inconclusive.

This court meeting was noisy and noisy until the beginning of the year, and it lasted for an hour and a half, which was relatively long, and there was almost no worry about the things discussed, so it was no wonder that the emperor took Chang Dezi to the imperial garden alone after dinner last year.

After the court meeting, Zeng Rong followed the emperor back to Qianning Palace, and the emperor announced the audience of three members of the cabinet, one of whom was Xu Fushan, and the other two were Wang Yong and Tang Qinglin, who represented the three factions at the court meeting.

However, Zeng Rong did not participate in this meeting, but Chang Dezi did not let her leave, but ordered someone to clean up a room for her in the side hall, and Zeng Rong stayed here to sort out the documents of the court meeting.

I don't know how long it took, Zeng Rong felt hungry in his stomach, and just got up to pack his things and prepare to go to the catering bureau to receive food, only to see Xiao Quanzi come in with a food box, Zeng Rong took it and opened it himself, although there were only two dishes and one soup in it, but Zeng Rong also saw that this was not her share of dishes, and it must have been sent by the emperor.

Zeng Rong asked, only to know that it was almost noon, the emperor had already eaten, and he would meet with two officials of the Ministry of Industry next.

When Zeng Rong heard it, she guessed that it was related to the maintenance project of the Ministry of Engineering, if she remembered correctly, it seemed that the Ministry of Household would allocate a large sum of silver taels every year to repair the palace and various palace courtyards, and this year it must be to cut down a lot of projects.

But that's not something she can worry about.

After finishing the meal for a while, Zeng Rong began to sit on the desk and sort out his manuscript again, and there were so many speeches at the morning court meeting, some officials listened to it for the first time and were not familiar with it, so her work was much harder than that of the female historian of the inner court.

Fortunately, Zeng Rong has been a female historian for a year, and she has a bit of a foundation, and she has mastered some tricks, so she finished sorting out the manuscript before the time came.

It's just that this point is the point where the emperor rests in the morning, she didn't dare to disturb, but she didn't dare to leave, but it happened that there was a kang in the room, and Zeng Rong climbed up and lay down without even a moment of hesitation.

She didn't sleep well last night, for fear of falling asleep, she got up three times to look at the hourglass, and besides, her body was still small, it was the age of Jueduo, and she soon squinted when she lay down.

When she woke up again, someone came to bring her dinner to wake her up, this time she was replaced by a little palace maid named Ah Chun, Zeng Rong realized that she had slept for more than an hour, and then looked at it, she had an extra palace maid's cotton jacket, and the kang under her body was also hot, and she couldn't help but look at each other.

Zeng Rong then knew that Emperor Fang Cai woke up in the morning, ordered Chang Dezi to come and see what she was doing, and saw that she was asleep, after Chang Dezi asked the emperor, he ordered someone to heat the kang, and ordered Ah Chun to find her a cotton jacket to cover it.
