Chapter 375: Look, the rivers and mountains under my rule

Li Guangchen said: "But I don't count others, only the income of the Guogong family's sub-grain field is set, and it is more than this amount a year." ”

Shen Tianlan nodded in agreement and said: "Since I revised the tax law of Zili Field, only a small amount of five percent is charged, and the income of the Dingguo family will be reduced by more than 80,000 taels a year, so he hates me to death!"

But what about Emperor Sejong? The lord of the world, sitting on the country, he is also thrifty on weekdays, he does not spoil the concubine, does not deduct the eunuchs, but has a hobby of cultivating and spends some money, but he can't even afford to repair a house of 300,000 taels, isn't it a little sad? ! ”

Emperor Sejong was almost strangled to death by the palace ladies while sleeping, and since then he has not been close to women, and indeed has no other hobbies except for cultivation.

Li Guangchen nodded and said: "Ordinary idlers can spend a lot of money on a cricket, so it seems that the old emperor is indeed quite pitiful!"

But Lord Shen, you can't say that, don't talk about others, just say Yu Niang, she doesn't need hundreds of thousands of taels at all, she only needs two hundred taels to live a small rich life, but in the end it flows into the dust, compared with them, the old emperor is much luckier, and he can pursue his own preferences!

And everyone knows that the old emperor raised a huge greed, how could he be such a smart person who doesn't know who is traitorous and who is loyal?! Speaking of which, it may be the result of his connivance, and he may pay off the account! ”

Shen Tianlan didn't care about Li Guangchen's name for Shizong, he nodded and continued: "What you said is half right, and half is wrong.

At that time, the imperial court divided the turbidity stream, Taicang had no silver, Emperor Sejong once sent Qingliu to collect taxes, walked around, a tael of silver were confiscated, the emperor was furious, let the traitor find a way to take the silver, the adulterous person went to Fujian once, only a month of effort, he collected 700,000 taels of tax silver, not that he must use, is that the other party has formed a climate, no need to no. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Shen Tianlan continued: "This incident touched me deeply.

Miss Li, can you say that the emperor can not use traitorous ministers? Yes, but you can't collect the money.

If you use it, the state will take three, those interest groups will take seven, and Taicang still has no money.

Gansu, Shanxi, Shandong and other places are in arrears of taxes and silver all the year round, Jiangxi and other places are also prone to bandit disasters, as soon as the country uses money, it has to find rich places such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang to urgently dispatch silver two, the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are overwhelmed, and they are also miserable! ”

There is no such thing as a good place!

Li Guangchen followed Shen Tianlan's words and said: "Listening to my lord's words, it seems that our country is poor and can't open the pot, and we can't collect tax silver everywhere, but in fact, I also know that the chief secretary can collect nearly 10 million taels of silver just by selling silk, tea and other items to Nanyang every year, and Nanyang produces silver, and people won't ask for the silver back, so where has the silver gone all these years?!" ”

Shen Tianlan became excited and said: "Miss asked a good question, I got to the point, although the surrounding sea is banned, but the chief secretary still opens three ports, and tens of millions of silver flows in Nanyang and Dongyang every year, but Taicang is still so poor?"

Where did all this silver go?!

I don't need to say it, Miss also knows the result, since the founding of the country, not counting the hereditary official positions such as the prince and the prince, there are more than 2,000 princes alone, and the prince attacks the prince and the prince, and then there is the king, these people are no less than 30,000, all of them have fiefs, it is the country to make fertile land, everyone has a grain field, and they can collect a lot of taxes without labor, these people need millions of taels of silver a year to support, this is all money! ”

Li Minghyuk and Shen Xiuwen were secretly shocked, the country was full of holes, but why couldn't they feel it at all?

Li Minghyuk thought to himself, how did Xiaoguang know so clearly, much more than I thought about it.

The eldest lady interjected at this time: "There are high and low lives, shouldn't they feed the nobles with their cheap lives?!" ”

Shen Tianlan frowned slightly when she heard this!

Li Guangchen looked at Shen Tianlan and said: "What do you mean by your second daughter-in-law, everyone in the world is cheap, because everyone in the world is raising their families, and their lives are expensive!?" ”

These people Shen Tianlan said are the Qi family, because the Qi family has opened an ancestor to have a meal, in order to ensure that the children and grandchildren can be fed, he stipulated at the beginning of the opening that the descendants of the Qi family will not be demoted to inherit the title, everyone has a fief, is not allowed to participate in political affairs, and can be a rice worm with peace of mind.

Shen Tianlan's expression changed, and he coughed willingly, he said these words to make Li Guangchen feel that it was not easy for him, but he didn't want to invite death.

Li Minghe reacted and gave Li Guangchen a look, how can this kid dare to discuss the affairs of the royal family?!

Li Guangchen said with a smile: "Anyway, I heard it, can your Shen family still marry and sue the emperor?" If you are not afraid of death, go away! ”

No one dared to sue for that.

The Shen family wants to speak and stop, no one will sue, you can't say it, right?!

Shen Tianlan thought to herself that this woman was really not afraid of heaven and earth, why did I think she was just an ordinary demon back then?!

Unable to persuade him, he changed the subject and said, "I also said my goal!"

Since then, I have vowed that if I have the opportunity, I will change the status quo, get rid of the evils, and restore the state affairs to the way they were when they were the beginning, so that the treasury is full and the people live and work in peace and contentment! ”

Speaking of this, he excitedly pointed to the little guy and said, "Take out the last account book!" ”

The little guy took it out and handed it to Shen Xiuwen, Shen Xiuwen held it, Shen Tianlan asked him to turn to the next few pages, Shen Xiuwen did so, and there was a rustle in the room.

When it came to the page number specified by Shen Tianlan, Shen Tianlan pointed it to Li Guangchen and said, "Miss Li, have you seen it?" Now Taicang has 15 million taels of silver, and we no longer have to worry about insufficient military salaries, insufficient disaster relief, and no more repairing the river embankment, and even the emperor now says that he wants to take 30,000 taels to repair the palace, which is enough! ”

Speaking of this, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is the result of my efforts, and the household department no longer has to be scolded for being poor!" ”

Look, this is the ability of Zhongxing Zhichen, this is the country he spends his heart and soul to protect for everyone!

Shen Xiuwen and Li Minghe both nodded deeply when they heard this, and there was even a sense of admiration on their faces, they were both court officials!

Li Guangchen had a smile on his face that was neither hot nor cold, and said in a light tone; "So what?!"

What do you think?!

This is an achievement, a powerful and powerful proof that only capable people can do this!

Shen Tianlan pushed away the support of Shen Xiuwen and his daughter-in-law, straightened his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The country is rich and the army is strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can this be erased by Miss Li's words?"

In the end, it is a girl in the back house, and she doesn't understand the way to govern the country!

How many people do you know come and go just to show their ambitions?! How many people have exhausted all their lives and have not been able to achieve what I am today!

So what?!

Hehe, it can't be anything, it's just that it can be passed down through the ages.

With me, you can have a stable life, let you ask me unashamedly, what about this! ”
