But since Xu Da's eldest daughter has decided to marry Zhu Di, the only choice is Tang He and Chang Yuchun.

Between the two of them, Tang He's current behavior is really a little inappropriate.

Moreover, Chang Yuchun is his favorite general of Zhu Yuanzhang.

can't help but Zhu Yuanzhang is more inclined to Chang Yuchun's daughter for Zhu Biao's future crown princess.

However, this matter is not in a hurry, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying beside him and said: "Sister's brain is aura, but now it's getting late, good girl, hurry up and sleep." ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's persuasion, Ma Xiuying didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the bed.

Early the next morning.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's study.

Just as things were arranged in advance yesterday, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, Song Lian, Lu Chang and others all gathered here.

We are going to discuss the matter of the National Reform Ordinance in earnest.

As everyone waited, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came to the study from the backyard.

After finishing the matter of awarding the title last night, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a particularly happy mood.

Not only that, but he unexpectedly got the idea given to him by Ma Xiuying, which gave him a way to win over many generals.

Many of the problems that have plagued him in the past have been solved recently.

Naturally, there is irrepressible joy in my heart.

In the study at this time, after everyone saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, and with a smile on their faces, they got up one after another, and shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang's place: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them with a smile, waved his hand casually, and said, "Get up." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang sat in his main seat in the study, he looked up at everyone present.

He looked left and right, only to see that there was one person missing.

couldn't help but wonder: "What about Jun Tao?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Shanchang again.

He explained this matter to Li Shanchang, and now that Qi Heng is missing, he naturally wants to ask him.

Li Shanchang, who was sitting on the side, heard Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, and immediately got up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister sent someone to the General's Mansion yesterday and informed His Majesty of today's arrangements in advance, but the subordinate who went to report said that he had not seen the general. Early this morning, the minister sent someone to invite him, but he still didn't see anyone from the general. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, couldn't help frowning: "You didn't tell him, did we talk to him?" ”

Li Shanchang said: "Naturally, I said it, but I heard from the people in the general's mansion that they haven't seen the general for a while, and it seems that the general is not in Jinling." ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows couldn't help frowning.

"Not in Jinling? Where can he go? ”

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Li Shanchang could only say: "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Li Shanchang couldn't be asked about this matter, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it if he's not there, let's continue to discuss our affairs." ”

However, thinking that there was something missing from Qi Heng in today's discussion, Zhu Yuanzhang still shouted at the two tigers outside the door: "Two tigers! ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's shout, Erhu hurriedly entered the door and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Go, you go to the General's Mansion and tell them that the General will come to see us as soon as he returns, and say that we have something to discuss with him." ”

When Erhu heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

After this matter was settled, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to the people present and asked, "How is it, I asked you to discuss yesterday, but what was the result of the discussion?" ”

The matter of governing all parts of the country and restoring vitality to all parts of the country is the most important thing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang today.

So after mentioning this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang's face also became solemn.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang mention this matter, everyone present couldn't help but look at Li Shanchang on the side.

Whether it was before or yesterday, when this matter was discussed, it was all presided over by Li Shanchang.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang asked, it was naturally up to him to be the first to deal with it.

And Li Shanchang was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Back to Your Majesty." ”

"Yesterday, when I waited together to discuss, I also discussed some countermeasures, but because the situation is relatively serious all over the country, and many places are seriously damaged by the war, it is too difficult to recover, and the imperial court needs to provide a lot of tax reduction orders."

"But Your Majesty also knows that now all walks of life in the whole country are in ruins, and many places need to spend money. If the tax reduction policy is implemented on a large scale, it is inevitable that there will be a fiscal deficit. ”

"Therefore, now the issue we are discussing is focused on this point, if we want to recover their vitality as soon as possible and make the people live a good life, the court must give money, but the court is really powerless."

Listening to Li Shanchang's narration, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly.

It's not that he can't understand this.

As the saying goes, as much ability as you have, you can do as much as you want.

But the court was different.

The imperial court governed the entire country.

I can't say that I only have a hundred taels and only do a hundred taels of things.

The rest of the people were left to starve to death and freeze to death.

But how to make up for this hole in the middle is a problem.

Therefore, the main issue of today's deliberations is focused on how to fill this hole.

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Then you can talk about it, what can you do to fill this hole?" ”

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang hit the nail on the head, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Li Shanchang.

This time it's not because of Li Shanchang's identity.

But when they discussed it yesterday, Hu Weiyong had already put forward an idea.

It's just that whether Li Shanchang wants to bring it up in front of Zhu Yuanzhang or not, that's his business.

Therefore, everyone can only look at Li Shanchang's attitude.

And among these people, Hu Weiyong is particularly concerned.

After everyone left yesterday, he patiently admonished for a while, but he didn't know what to do with Li Shanchang.

Just after Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, the whole scene fell silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and didn't speak, and couldn't help but speak again: "Why, why don't you speak?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask again, Li Shanchang knew that he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang might be angry.

Couldn't help it, Li Shanchang got up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, there is a way, but it is not easy to do." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"What's the matter, you talk about it first, if it's okay or not, tell it first and let us hear it."

After Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Shanchang no longer hesitated, and said directly: "Your Majesty, you also know the situation in the whole country now, the entire Central Plains is in a mess in the war. And the originally rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, this time you also saw some on your northern tour. ”

"It's a blessing to be able to protect yourself, and it's impossible to make up for the deficit on the side."

"Now looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, only Shanxi has not been affected too deeply by the war because of its special geographical situation, and self-sufficiency can be done. But now that Shanxi has just been recovered, the court officials have not yet entered in time, and they want to rely on Shanxi to fill the deficit in the surrounding areas, but they are afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the local people, and then carry out other changes. ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks day and night, discusses with all the adults, thinks about it, and wants to make up for this shortfall, there is only one place."

Speaking of this, Li Shanchang stopped for a while, also to give Zhu Yuanzhang some time to understand and think.

And Zhu Yuanzhang is also very smart.

Soon I heard some signs in Li Shanchang's words.

"You mean, let the people and finances of Anfeng Road fill all this shortfall?"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang take the initiative to ask this, Li Shanchang hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

After getting Li Shanchang's approval, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression this time was really difficult.

What is Anfeng Road?

That's where their rebels began.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is their hometown.

Emotionally, he didn't want the local people and villagers to pay too much for the rest of the country.

can think about it, Li Shanchang's words are not unreasonable.

What to do.

Nowadays, money and food are needed everywhere.

Who's coming out?

They just went to Yangzhou, and they know what the situation is.

Could it be that they want to pick up more than 20 trees at the door to fill the deficit elsewhere?

When Yang Xian was in Yangzhou, he also promised to provide them with cattle for farming.

But where do you get these things?

The imperial court now seems to be quite a shelf.

The territory is not small.

Especially after the victory of Xu Da's Northern Expedition this time, the territory area has expanded countless times.

But these lands have not yet been governed.

I didn't take a penny.

The palace was rebuilt before, which was another big expense.

Therefore, the poorest person in the entire Ming Dynasty is Zhu Yuanzhang.

And that's not all.

Anfeng Lu had always been under Qi Heng's governance, even if he, Zhu Yuanzhang, agreed to take Anfeng Lu and fill in everywhere, his order would be useless to put it bluntly.

All of this needs Qi Heng to speak.

These things can only be done if he speaks.

couldn't help it, Zhu Yuanzhang was also silent.

The others on the side, after hearing the conversation between Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang, were thinking about other things in their hearts.

Because, they all understand.

This time, Li Shanchang mentioned An Fenglu in front of everyone, which means that Li Xiangguo, who rose after Qi Heng lost power, is going to make a move.

Hu Weiyong, who was sitting on a chair on the side, was also full of excitement in his heart.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head, he looked at the ministers in front of him, and asked, "Is there only one way?" There is no other way? ”

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Li Shanchang didn't know how to answer for a while, while Liu Bowen spoke.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, there must still be a way." Now that the north has just been pacified, everything is closed, but as long as it takes some time, the imperial court will send hundreds of officials to distribute all over the country. ”

"As the connection between the localities and the imperial court deepens, the imperial court can make reasonable distributions according to the specific conditions of the locality."

"At that time, no matter how you govern, if you have a penny, you will do a penny of things, and you will not be unable to live a life. However, this is the case, and if this law is followed, the reform in all parts of the country will need to be postponed for some time, and it will not be implemented on a large scale, and it will need to be resumed little by little. ”

Listening to Liu Bowen's words, the solemnity on Zhu Yuanzhang's face did not disappear.

Everyone understands that Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously reluctant to use this method.

Now the whole country of Daming is poor.

On this northern tour, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the originally rich Yangzhou had become like this, let alone other places.

This revolution is a must.

And fast, and the action has to be bigger!

If you continue to grind and chirp, ten years later, the entire Ming Dynasty is still as poor as it is now.

This is definitely not what Emperor Zhu, who has just swept Liuhe and unified the world, wants to see.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, Hu Weiyong, who had never spoken on the side, suddenly got up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Ascend." ”

"There is a sentence that the minister does not know whether to say or not."

Looking at Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Say." ”

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Superior, the whole country is a big banner, and if you move a chess piece on Anfeng Road, you can live the whole country, and what we have to do this time is only to increase the taxes of the people of Anfeng Road, and we don't really want to kill them, the people of Anfeng Road have become rich over the years, and they can actually afford this expenditure." ”

"With Anfeng Road, the whole country will come back to life, it's worth it!"

Hu Weiyong is very smart.

He knows very well that it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to understand the truth in the middle.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking about it now is that he is hesitating to do so.

And all he has to do is to give Zhu Yuanzhang firm confidence!

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang's will is given, they can do it.

No matter what force dares to stop them from making a move on An Fenglu at this time, it is in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's new policy.

That's going to be crushed to death!

And with the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang's new policy, they can attack Anfeng Road unscrupulously.

The trump card in Qi Heng's hand was completely strangled to death!

At that time, with Li Shanchang's current influence in the court and his influence in officialdom all over the country, it will be enough to compete with Qi Heng's frontal board wrist!

On the contrary, Anfeng Road is now the economic lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Anfeng Road is in Qi Heng's hands for a day, then the entire imperial court will be under Qi Heng's control.

Because whatever you do, you have to use money.

It costs money to send troops, and money to manage government.

Grants cost money, and disaster relief costs money.

As long as Qi Heng doesn't give it, then everyone has to look at his face.

This is also why after Zhu Yuanzhang came back from Xuanjiaoling, he resolutely excluded Qi Heng from the center of power.

Because what he's holding in his hand is so crucial.

is even more important than the jade seal in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

That's the most important weapon of the country!

How can it be in the hands of others?

What's more, if Anfeng Road has money, he can develop weapons and an army.

Think of the barracks of God, think of hot air balloons, think of muskets.

Which emerges is not based on a strong economy.

At this moment, the whole study became silent.

Everyone is waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to make a final decision.
