Chapter 462: Zhang Taiyue's Ambition
"Old man, what else do you want to do?"
Not to mention Zhao Yu, even Erha on the side was aroused by Zhang Wei's curiosity.
In a gesture, millions of guards dissipated like smoke, but looking at the old man's posture, he didn't seem to have the idea of stopping at all.
"Emperor Taizu of the previous dynasty opened the country and exempted the world's meritorious and famous people and the taxes of the emperor's relatives and nobles, which was not visible during the period of Emperor Taizu.
However, after hundreds of years of reproduction, the number of these people has far exceeded the range that the people of the Central Plains can bear.
And after so many years, a large amount of land is in the hands of these people, and the common people have no land to cultivate, so they can only become tenants and displaced people! ”
"You...... You're really crazy! ”
This time, even Ah Fa's eyes widened in surprise by these words.
He was born in the Baolong clan, after all, he is not comparable to mud legs like Zhao Yu and Erha.
The taxation and acre system of the world's nobles is not only established by the previous dynasty or the new dynasty, but since the three emperors and five emperors, there have been such rules.
The nobles of the world are naturally supported by the people of the world, this is the truth!
But now the old man in front of him, who saw the soil buried in his neck, actually threatened to break this truth!
"The vassal kings, the nobles, and the scholars all have a certain amount of tax-free acres, but in the past hundreds of years, it has been common to avoid taxes by hanging fields, which makes the world's acres of land gradually gather in the hands of the nobles......"
Zhang Wei talked eloquently, and a sickly flush appeared on his face.
"You want to re-measure the acres?"
Zhao Yu didn't wait for Zhang Wei to finish speaking, his eyebrows raised slightly, and then said: "Then do you still want to implement the provincial inspection and evaluation system for officials in the two capitals and thirteen provinces after measuring the acres of land?" Do you still want to carry out the practice of returning mulberry fields to farming? ”
"Huh?!"
This time, it was Zhang Wei's turn to be shocked.
He has thought about all these things that Zhao Yu said, and some of them are just vague concepts, and no one should know about them except himself!
"It's no wonder that Lord Zhao has been able to come to this point in just one year with the position of a hundred households in the inspection department!!"
After Zhang Wei was shocked, he bowed heartily to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu's words can no longer be described as Dongruo watching the fire, and even he knows that he just has an idea, and the people of Jinyiwei ...... Are they all so fierce?
Seeing Zhang Wei admit it, Zhao Yu scratched his head, looked at Zhang Wei again and asked, "Boy, do you really want to ask, is your name really Zhang Wei?" No other name? ”
"No?"
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Since the old decay was born in his mother's womb, he has been called by this name, but when he was in the palace examination that year, Enshi took a word and called it 'Taiyue'. ”
"Zhang Taiyue?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Wei and nodded. Isn't that right......
"Please also ask Lord Zhao and the chief manager to help the old people in the new dynasty!"
After speaking, Zhang Wei got up and bowed to Zhao Yu and Ah Fa and made a deep bow.
……
"Master, the new emperor has issued a decree to summon you to enter the palace immediately!"
Just when a few people were planning the follow-up, the middle-aged man who brought Zhao Yu here knocked on the door of the inner hall.
"Did you say anything?"
Zhang Wei glanced at his entourage and asked softly.
"The father-in-law didn't say anything, only that the new emperor summoned you to the palace as soon as possible!"
The attendant bent down slightly and whispered back.
At this time, a brocade guard wearing a new-style embroidered spring knife walked in.
"My lord, Commander An received the order to enter the palace to face the saint, and sent his subordinates to invite Lord Zhao to go with him!"
Jin Yiwei came to Zhao Yu and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Wei and Zhao Yu glanced at each other, and then they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Got it!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand, then got up and looked at Ah Fa.
"I still have something to do with the Soldiers!"
Ah Fa got up and left the courtyard without looking back.
……
After two incense sticks, Zhao Yu and Zhang Wei came to Chengtianmen together, and from a distance, they saw An Jianqing had been waiting for a long time.
"Commander An, do you know why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace to face the saint?"
Zhang Wei took a step forward and asked An Jianqing.
"Looking back at Lord Fu's words, it seems that a few foreign businessmen have come, and His Majesty is receiving them in Fengtian Palace!"
Foreigners?
When Zhao Yu heard An Jianqing's words, he was interested.
The three of them entered the Chengtian Gate and followed the Zhenlong Road all the way to the outside of the Fengtian Temple.
And at this moment, in the Fengtian Temple, in addition to a few directors of the Ministry of Rites, there are also four blonde and blue-eyed foreign merchants.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Wei, the first assistant of the cabinet, and An Jianqing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Lord Zhao are already waiting outside the palace."
The eunuch walked quickly past the crowd, came to the foot of the Nine Dragon Steps, and said softly.
"Xuan!"
Jiang Yuyan raised her hand slightly, and the eunuch immediately bowed down and retreated.
A moment later, Zhao Yu and the three of them walked into the Fengtian Palace.
"Hello, &%%¥#......"
In the main hall, the foreign businessmen were muttering something, and the head of the Ministry of Rites on the side was sweating.
But the two sides are talking to each other, and they don't know what the other party is talking about.
Although some of the people in the Ministry of Rites knew some foreign languages, the people in front of them spoke differently from the Nanyang merchants they had come into contact with before.
"Back to Your Majesty, they may have come to the Central Plains to do business, which means that they should have brought their local products......"
Seven or eight directors of the Ministry of Rites studied for a long time before they came up with an idea.
Zhao Yu stood aside and looked at these foreign businessmen.
Don't be obsessed, he can only hear the meaning of a few words. For him, who graduated from college in the fourth level and was only able to pass by cheating, it was worse than the two knives of the Ministry of Rites.
"Souvenirs? Let them take it up to the temple and see ......"
Zhao Yu was obviously also interested, and then commanded a few people from the Ministry of Rites.
Several people were stunned for a moment, then looked up at His Majesty the new emperor, and saw Jiang Yuyan nodding, and one of them even explained with a jump.
The foreigners glanced at each other, and then ordered their retinue to bring the things into the Fengtian Temple.
The foreign merchant, who was standing in the first position, walked up to a tray and lifted the red silk to show the contents of the tray.
"Chili?!"
Zhao Yu was stunned when he saw the objects in the tray.
No wonder I have been in this world for more than a year, and I always feel that something is missing......
Now when I see the chili peppers brought by the foreign merchants, I understand.
"Since Lord Zhao knows this thing, I think I can understand the function of this thing, right?"
Zhang Wei looked at Zhao Yu, he was really a little shocked, there seemed to be no things in the world that the young man in front of him didn't know.
"I know a little ......"
Unlike others who face these, when Zhao Yu saw this, he remembered a talent that he ignored!
