"No wonder.. No wonder.. No wonder Lao Zhang had to ask me to go to the street to ask, the imperial court actually subsidized the grain, three stones and one stone of grain from Yunfu Firm, one price per stone."

"Quick! Lao Zhang, don't fall for it! ”

The distance between the Yunfu business and the rice shop of the imperial court was quite close, and in a short time, the young man rushed back to the Yunfu business, entered the gate and said to the man: "Where is the old Zhang just now?" ”

The guy didn't notice the young man behind Lao Zhang.

Seeing that his face was unfamiliar, he said suspiciously: "What, what are you looking for him?" ”

"Of course there is something in a hurry, I came from Mangui Village with him!"

"Oops! So that's the case, Master Zhang is talking about business with our shopkeeper in the back, why don't you wait here first, and I'll pour you some tea? ”

The man's eyes rolled as if he had thought of something, trying to stop the young man from disturbing the business that was about to be negotiated.

After all, the business never opens again.

I'm afraid that I am not far from being unemployed, and the master above me will definitely throw myself out.

However, he was anxious to find Lao Zhang's young descendant, where could he take care of what the guy said, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Take me to him, hurry up!" ”

His eyes widened, and his tanned face in the crop field took on a bit of a fierce look in an instant.

The guy shrunk his neck and said, "That.. Then come in with me."

And the young posterity did not feel embarrassed anymore, but followed into the back hall, the back hall was empty, and at a glance, he found that the old Zhang Zheng in the village and the shopkeeper of the rice shop were talking and laughing there.

But Hou Sheng didn't say much, but did as Lao Zhang agreed with him in advance.

Sitting on the sidelines, he glanced at Lao Zhang... Seeing that Lao Zhang had seen it, he stopped talking, but sat aside.

Zhou Yunhai saw that the person who came did not disturb his business.

And he didn't say anything more.

And Lao Zhang, who already knew it, was not in a hurry, after all, this tea is a precious thing, and he can't drink a few more sips no matter how he comes..

After grinding back and forth for a long time, Lao Zhang finally got up and said: "That week's shopkeeper, the matter of buying food was settled..."

"Good, good!"

Zhou Yunhai is very happy, it is really not easy for this fool to come to the door, after all, no matter how he looks at it, he knows that the old Zhang in front of him may not have been to the county for too long.

Otherwise, with this person's poor appearance every year, how could he not buy the grain of the imperial court, and turn his head to buy the fine grain in his own business.

However, as soon as the group walked to the door of the business, Zhou Yunhai seemed to want to signal Lao Zhang to pay the money first... However, Lao Zhang waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't have to worry, you first move grain out of the backyard, my mule cart has not repaired its hooves for a long time, and when I want to pull grain, I will find a place to repair the hooves of this mule." ”

Zhou Yunhai didn't say anything when he saw this.

He let the two of them out of the business, and when they left, they politely beckoned the men to help untie the leash of the mule cart.

"Master Zhang, we'll see you later!"

"Okay, okay, see you later, see you later."

Seeing that Lao Zhang did not go towards the imperial court, but left in the opposite direction on the other side, Zhou Yunhai touched his beard with a smile, and entered the business without looking back.

It was finally opened, although the number was not large, but it finally gave the main family a little explanation.

However, the old man and the young man walking on the road had a smile on their faces, "Come on, tell me what the price of the grain outside is." ”

Hou Sheng didn't grind, and said directly: "On the streets in this county now, few people will come to Yunfu to buy rice, and I'm afraid this is the reason why this shopkeeper is so attentive today... Since a few months ago, the imperial court has set up a royal subsidy grain in the county seat, one stone of rice from the Yunfu firm, and three stones of broken rice subsidized by the imperial court..."

Lao Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "You kid, seriously? ”

"Seriously!"

"Hurry! Let's go around and have a look, and when we get out of the city, the shopkeeper is probably still waiting for us to load the rice."

"Hahaha! Lao Zhang! You're still holding a grudge against last year! ”

...

The royal subsidy grain is a grain subsidy plan proposed by Zhu Youzhen, which is implemented by the household department, after all, the household department is still in charge of the imperial court grain now.

The nation's agricultural tax revenue is also collected by the household department.

Since the reform of the national official income system, more and more officials have taken the initiative to give up the part of the grain they receive, and have instead adopted the method of directly converting it into dragon yuan.

As a result, the amount of grain in the household treasury has also been accumulating.

And in the granary of gradual abundance, it is still growing.

Zhu Youzhen also set up a number of royal grain depots belonging to Xu Guangqi of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the main source of grain depots was naturally according to the survey data of grain prices across the country by the Royal Bureau of Statistics.

Grain is collected from some areas with relatively convenient transportation, and then find ways to transport it to those areas where transportation is not so developed, and it is stored as a grain reserve.

The amount of grain imported into the Ming Dynasty by the Dutch was also extremely large, and the Ming Dynasty, which could not be consumed for a while and a half, naturally allocated a large amount of it to the royal grain depot of the Ministry of Agriculture.

There is food in the hands.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen dare to start subsidizing the price of grain in various grain-deficient provinces.

Of course, this kind of royal subsidized grain is not unprofitable at all, after all, the people of the Ming Dynasty have not yet had difficulties to that extent.

If it really has a total collapse, it is not a question of whether it is difficult or not.

That was when Zhu Youzhen was already thinking about how to provide disaster relief, how to save the local displaced people, and how to fill his stomach.

Today, the Ming dynasty's tax reform has been quite effective.

A sound tax grid has been established throughout the country, and in the process of cooperation with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, we have firmly grasped the business situation and data of the whole country.

And Zhu Youzhen also received another good news in the palace...

That is, with the gradual development of the situation, the central court finally completed the restructuring of the local prefectures and counties of several surrounding provincial capitals, and the imperial court finally did not have to worry about the local area as a father and a mother.

In fact, this is also another reform system of Zhu Youzhen.

It is also an important part of Zhu Youzhen's huge innovation.

Because in Zhu Youzhen's view, the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty can be said to have been in a kind of local area, regardless of what should be managed, and everything that should not be managed is not managed.

I didn't see any benefit, but I carried a lot of pots.

How can this make the shrewd Zhu Youzhen accept...

Therefore, how to collect the power to the central court, but give the local responsibility back to the local government, and at the same time to control and supervise.
