And Zhu Zhanji, who had just run out of the Fengtian Temple, bumped into a person head-on.

"Stinky boy, why are you panicking?"

Zhu Zhanji looked up.

It's his father, Zhu Gaochi.

Daddy Zhu Gaochi frowned and asked, "I heard that your grandfather is making trouble again?" What the hell is going on? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji, who was afraid of being arrested by the old man, had the kung fu to talk nonsense with his father, so he hurriedly said: "Nothing is going on, the old man is there to talk to the second uncle and the third uncle, and I just talked about you, saying that I owe you too much and am tired, so go in and take a look." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Daddy Zhu Gaochi suddenly smiled and said, "Your grandfather really said that? ”

"No, my son Jinyiwei still has something to do, so I'll leave first, Dad, go quickly."

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Looking at the back of Zhu Zhanji's departure, Zhu Gao muttered happily: "It's really not easy to say this from the old man's mouth. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the gate of the Fengtian Temple.

But the fat leg had only taken a step forward, and Zhu Gaochi immediately saw the old man next to the dragon chair who was holding a sword in his hand and reprimanding King Han and King Zhao.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and the foot didn't hit the ground, so he hurriedly took it back again.

But in such a short period of less than three seconds, he was still seen by the old man on the dragon platform.

"Boss!"

"Come here!"

Just half of his leg was raised, and Zhu Gaochi fell down again.

squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and walked towards the old man step by step.

While walking, he cursed the little bastard in his heart.

It's a loss of conscience, and even his own father is pitted.

At the same time, he also secretly scolded himself for having nothing to worry about, the two of them just lifted the roof of the Fengtian Temple, and what did they care about him.

came to the front, and didn't wait for Zhu Gaochi to say anything.

The old man shouted, "Kneel! ”

Zhu Gaochi, who heard this, hurriedly knelt down in fright.

But when he looked up, he found that the old man was scolding his two younger brothers.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi kneeling, the old man frowned and said, "I didn't let you kneel, what are you kneeling for?" ”

I was thinking about it, but I still didn't get up after thinking about it: "Dad, I'm still kneeling." ”

Obviously, according to the experience of the past, there is nothing wrong with kneeling in this, save a while to get up and kneel down again, tossing.

"Just above the court, what are your uncles and nephews quietly muttering there? Doing business? Is this Fengtian Temple a place for your uncles and nephews to do business? The old man was half angry with Zhu Zhanji, and he wanted to spread fire but found that people had run away.

Now he can only sprinkle his anger on these two brothers.

And Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, the two brothers, were reprimanded without a trace, and they were also confused for a while.

"Okay, that's good! He was a prisoner for two days, and now he has learned to talk back in the court, and he has learned to cut off his head, and he has to behead all over the house, okay, wow! is worthy of being a member of my Zhu family, and casually opening his mouth is to cut off his head. ”

"Wow!"

Seeing that the old man was still angry because his eldest nephew insisted on cutting off his head because he didn't listen to the old man's words in the court, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were extremely wronged in their hearts.

Your eldest grandson is disobedient and wants to be beheaded, what are you angry with us?

But I dare to say this in my heart.

And the old man vented a few words, but he couldn't find the culprit, where could he really be angry.

He looked left and right, and saw Zhu Gaochi kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and suddenly crossed his waist with one hand, pointed at Zhu Gaochi with the other, and scolded: "Look at the good son you gave birth to, talk back to the court, let him work for two more days, old man, do I have to stand on the edge of this dragon chair and serve him!" ”

Zhu Gaochi, who heard this, was even more wronged.

Didn't you say that you didn't give me an education, and you taught it yourself?

Now he is my good son again?

Zhu Gaochi, who didn't even know what happened from beginning to end, was scolded by the old man when he first came.

In his heart, he was like the old man, cursing the little bastard son.

"And you three bastards, none of them make me worry! Get lost! Get out of here! ”

The old man threw his sword to the ground.

Watching the brothers leave, the old man scolded angrily: "Let you entrap the ministers, if you don't entrap the ministers, even if you don't entrap them, you will have to cut off your head." Little bastard......"

While cursing, the old man was also secretly thinking about how to clean up this kid.

Walking out of the gate of Fengtian Palace, the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui suddenly looked at the boss Zhu Gaochi next to him and said: "Boss, look at the good son you gave birth to, he the old man, let us suffer, what is this called?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "The old man also said that Zhu Zhanji's kid was taught by him, why don't you call the old man?" ”

But Zhu Gaoxu said: "You tell us this, that's your son, not my son, if this is my son, I have to break his leg." Or boss, you pass this kid on to my younger brother, and I'll help you clean it up. ”

Zhu Gaosui also echoed on the side: "Yes, boss, you also think about it, if it doesn't work, you can ask someone to tie it up and beat it, and let this kid have a long memory." ”

Listening to the cool words of the two brothers, Zhu Gaochi suddenly scolded: ", I think what the old man said is right, you two just don't clean up." I also passed it on to you, I don't know what virtue your second child has, I passed it on to you, do you call him dad, or he calls you dad. ”

“.........”

Just when the brothers were fighting with each other.

Zhu Zhanji, who ran away early, came to the study room.

Looking from afar, he saw his future concubine, Hu Shanxiang.

Although he still greeted the old man when he was in the villa on the outskirts of Beijing and explained that he wanted to marry Hu Shanxiang, the old man also said that he would not marry until he was officially canonized as the grandson.

So now Hu Shanxiang can't live in the prince's mansion.

If nothing else, it has nothing to do with the so-called etiquette, in the final analysis, it is for Hu Shanxiang's sake.

Before entering the prince's mansion, it is easy to fall into the mouth, after all, ancient women still regarded chastity as extremely important.

It doesn't matter if he lives for a day or two on weekdays, but his grandson doesn't know when he will be officially canonized, so he can only leave her in the palace for the time being and live with the female official Hu Shangyi.

However, most of the people in the palace know what Hu Shanxiang's identity will be in the future, and no one will really dare to embarrass her, or send her to serve people.

Now in this palace, when Zhu Zhanji's grandmother and queen died, after the new crown was not established, the female scrolls of the entire palace were Zhu Zhanji's mother who had the final say, and the female officials in the palace had to come to her in person to ask her for advice.

In this case, offending Hu Shanxiang, the future daughter-in-law of the crown princess, is almost like looking for death. And Hu Shanxiang now lives in the palace, which is no different from his own home.

Of course, nominally, Zhu Zhanji also arranged it before, so that she was only responsible for her own affairs.

"Good luck!"

As Zhu Zhanji shouted from afar, Hu Shanxiang and the palace maids who were whispering around him turned around one after another, and when they saw that it was Zhu Zhanji, they ran away one by one as if they had seen a ghost.

didn't even have time to say hello to Hu Shanxiang.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Zhanji slowly walked closer.

was about to say something, but found that Hu Shanxiang ignored him at all, pouted and walked to the side.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned: "What's the matter?" Why are you still throwing a tantrum? ”

Zhu Zhanji, who stepped forward and grabbed Hu Shanxiang's arm, reached out and pinched Hu Shanxiang's face: "What's the matter, who made you angry again." ”

Hearing that Zhu Zhanji actually asked who made her angry, she suddenly puffed out her cheeks, stared at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Don't you know how many days you haven't seen me?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized.

Hurriedly explained with a smile: "Recently, there have been a lot of things in the court, and it is a mess, and I don't even have the time to come to this study room a few times." Why, someone is guilty of lovesickness? ”

Hearing this, Hu Shanxiang's face turned red instantly, and his head drooped and said, "Who committed lovesickness.....

It's just that the more he says this, the more he has no confidence, and the lower his voice is.

Looking at Hu Shanxiang's cute little woman, Zhu Zhanji immediately rubbed her head and said, "Okay, then in this way, you will follow my ass every day in the future, how about it?" Don't be in the study room, where I go in the future, you can go, how about it? ”

Hearing this, although Hu Shanxiang's face was happy, he still said stubbornly: "Who is going to follow behind your ass....."

Seeing that Hu Shanxiang's little girl was in a better mood, Zhu Zhanji asked curiously: "By the way, why did the palace daughters who were around you just now see me running away?" I haven't seen them like this when I've seen them on weekdays. ”

Along the way, Zhu Zhanji has always had some doubts.

On weekdays, his reputation in this palace is quite good, and the daughters of the eunuch palace will greet them very warmly when they see them.

Although he still adhered to the etiquette, he had never seen a look of fear or anything like that on the faces of these people.

On the contrary, there are many good-looking palace maids who take the initiative to come to their side.

Moreover, although he is the eldest grandson, he has never punished any lowly people, after all, he is a person who has traveled through the later generations, even if many things and thinking about things are trying to integrate towards this era, but many habits and nature still can't be changed.

At least the quality of his previous life was not enough for him to lose his temper or punish those eunuchs and palace maids.

Even if you accidentally do something wrong in front of yourself, you have never had it.

But today is strange.

Along the way, the people who looked at the same road from a distance avoided them one after another.

Either turn around or simply turn around.

In addition, those palace maids, as the people around Hu Shanxiang just now, should not be afraid of themselves, but they avoided them one by one.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's question, Hu Shanxiang snorted, and then said, "It's not because of your affairs in Fengtian Temple. ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned: "Fengtian Palace? What did I do in Fengtian Temple? ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji still looked puzzled, Hu Shanxiang suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and muttered: "I don't know what I've done." ”

However, after dripping, he still explained carefully to Zhu Zhanji: "They, they all heard that you were going to behead those who sued you when you were in Fengtian Hall (those who didn't vote for the monthly ticket were cleaned), and some even had to behead the nine clans of Zhulian all over the house, so they didn't dare to approach you, afraid that you would cut off their heads if you were unhappy." ”

"You were still talking to me about this."

Knowing that it was because of this incident, Zhu Zhanji was suddenly a little speechless.

Although it doesn't affect him, it's a bit wrong.

I'm just selling my mouth, and I didn't really cut it, so I didn't expect there to be such a place.

However, these palace daughters and eunuchs are very well-informed.

It's only a lot of effort, I'm afraid that those Beijing officials outside don't know yet, and this is spreading in the palace?

"Then you have to make it clear to your little sisters in the palace, otherwise I will become the murderer in their mouths."

Hu Shanxiang pouted when he heard this: "I don't care about you." ”

"You don't care, if any palace maid and eunuch treat me as some tyrant and secretly poison me, you little girl will have no husband in the future, and you will have to stay alone in the empty room."

Regarding the first half of Zhu Zhanji's sentence, Hu Shanxiang didn't listen to it at all, and only said: "What husband, what is the empty house alone, I haven't married you yet, don't talk nonsense." ”

The blushing little face looks so cute, I can't wait to take a bite of it.

Just when Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang were teasing their stuffy sons.

Huang Yan, who saw Zhu Zhanji's figure in the distance, was the eunuch who held the seal and the prince of the Dongchang factory, and walked over quickly.

When he came closer, he immediately bowed to Zhu Zhanji and said, "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. ”

Zhu Zhanji, who was smiling and chatting with Hu Shanxiang, heard the voice behind him, immediately turned around, and when he saw that it was Huang Yan, he smiled and said, "It's Huang Gonggong, is there something wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Yan nodded, but before speaking, he still glanced at Hu Shanxiang beside Zhu Zhanji.

Huang Yan's meaning Zhu Zhanji couldn't understand it, so he said casually: "It's okay, this is the future eldest grandson concubine, what is there to say." ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji directly indicated Hu Shanxiang's future identity in front of him, the shrewd Huang Yan instantly understood the status of Hu Shanxiang in the heart of Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson is no joke.

Now she is the eldest grandson, and when she is canonized, she will be the princess, and after the prince ascends the throne, she will be the princess, and then she will be the queen, the mother of a country.

Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't care about a woman's origin since he was Taizu, he showed his identity so bluntly before he got married, which shows that in the heart of the eldest grandson, this woman is by no means ordinary.

Huang Yan, who knew the hearts of the people, immediately showed a surprised expression, and then saluted respectfully to Hu Shanxiang beside Zhu Zhanji, and said: "The ministers don't know the identity of the eldest grandson, but they are contemptuous, and they hope that the eldest grandson will forgive their sins." ”

Listening to Huang Yan's words of asking for mercy, he looked at this Dongchang factory company, who was famous in the palace in the past, and the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies held the seal, and respectfully saluted himself.

Where has Hu Shanxiang, the little girl, seen this kind of battle, and she was suddenly a little flustered and out of proportion.

I didn't know what to do, so I could only look at Zhu Zhanji beside me as if asking for help.

Looking at Hu Shanxiang's flustered appearance, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled, and then said to Huang Yan: "Huang Gonggong, don't be polite, get up quickly, now that she has not been officially canonized, it is reasonable for you not to know." Also, you just need to know the identity of this eldest grandson, and you don't need to call it that in front of outsiders, otherwise my grandfather will reprimand me again when he hears it. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's instructions, Huang Yan respectfully agreed.

Then he reopened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, the minister came here this time to ask His Highness for something." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"The people who His Highness ordered his ministers to arrest before are still in prison now, but many of these people have extraordinary identities, and they can't be kept in prison forever, there must always be an explanation. Just like Liu Boyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou who was arrested, whether to kill or release, he must give an explanation to the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Officials, otherwise it will be difficult for them to rearrange the position of the Hangzhou prefect. ”

Listening to Huang Yan's words, Zhu Zhanji nodded slowly, this matter really has to be decided earlier.

Otherwise, it's not the same thing to keep people locked up all the time.

At the very least, whatever the crime should be, and what the crime must be installed, so that the disposal arrangements can be made everywhere to see whether to redispatch or wait.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji frowned and asked, "How many people have been arrested this time?" ”

Huang Yan replied: "A total of 149 people have been arrested this time, all of whom are directly related to Na Ji Gang, and as for the joint relationship, they have not been moved. ”

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, he asked, "How many people are directly involved in leaking the national policy?" ”

"Forty-nine people, including Liu Boyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate, and said directly: "These people are all pulled outside the noon gate to be beheaded, no need to keep it secret, and they will be executed publicly." ”

Huang Yan was not too surprised by Zhu Zhanji's decision.

He has been by Zhu Di's side for so many years, and he can still stand such a trivial matter, but he still asked with some hesitation: "What about Liu Boyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou?" This person has some ability along the way since he participated in the imperial examination, and his identity is different, should he ask the meaning of the imperial court? ”

However, Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate at all, and said: "A person who divulges the national policy and puts the court in nothing must live, no matter what his identity is." As for the imperial court, there is no need to ask, His Royal Highness still has the power to supervise the country, and the Lord has done this, and I will personally inform the six ministries of the cabinet. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji say this, Huang Yan naturally had no opinions.

However, when Hu Shanxiang on the side heard that Zhu Zhanji was about to cut off the heads of dozens of people casually, his little face, which was still red just now, suddenly turned a little pale.

Thinking of what those palace ladies said in front of her just now, if she hadn't been with Zhu Zhanji for a long time, I was afraid that she would also regard him as some kind of murderous devil.

After all, that's dozens of people.

It's also a long time to line up.

But Zhu Zhanji and Huang Yan, who were discussing serious matters at this time, did not notice the change in Hu Shanxiang's face.

"Your Highness, the families of these people ........."

As Huang Yan, who is the owner of Dongchang, human life is worthless in his eyes at all, just some numbers and words.

And Dongchang has always done things to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and now since these people have to be cut to avoid future troubles, he has always had some way to deal with it.

Whether it is exile or selling the female roll into the Qinglou, at least think of where these people will go in the future, so that they don't know what to do.

However, after hearing Huang Yan's words, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel a little overflowing for a while.

Although he didn't know where it came from or when it came into his mind, it was clearly integrated into his values in later life.

Although he still understands some cruelty of the feudal dynasty, this disgust from instinct still makes him a little unable to do it.

"Now that the culprit has been removed, there is no need to implicate these people's family files, but in a short period of time, someone will be specially sent to keep an eye on them, and if there are any actions that they don't know what to do, they will be taken together."

"The minister commands." Huang Yan bowed and replied.

"What about the rest?"

"They all have more or less interests with Ji Gang, and there are not a few people who do some flies, deceive their superiors and subordinates, and fish the people."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "Transfer the people to Jinyiwei, and they will raid the house and investigate, and if there are many evils, they will deal with them according to the law of the Ming Dynasty." However, if it is only a normal exchange of interests and does not violate the law of the country, only the culprit will be imprisoned, and it will not be implicated. If there are innocent women in the family, old and young, according to the actual number of the house, a small amount of silver will be distributed and dismissed. ”

"Yes! So the minister withdrew and made arrangements. ”

"Hmm."

As Huang Yan left, Zhu Zhanji stood in place and pondered for a moment, making sure that nothing was missed or overlooked, and then turned his head to look at Hu Shanxiang beside him.

Looking at her pale little face, after thinking about it, she understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "What, I'm scared." ”

Hu Shanxiang nodded: "I cut off the heads of dozens of people with one sentence, can you not be scared." And that Huang Gonggong, you don't know what he looked like in the past, no one in the palace is not afraid of his face. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Shanxiang also sighed.

seemed to think of something again, and scolded Zhu Zhanji: "Also, what did you just say to that Huang Gonggong, what eldest grandson, the matter has not been decided yet, how can you let me walk around this palace when you say this." And that Huang Gonggong, just come over and perform that big salute, which scared me to death. ”

Hearing these words, Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Do you think that Huang Yan really doesn't know your identity?" Not to mention Huang Yan, who commands the East Factory, there are few people in the entire palace who don't know about it. He just asked that deliberately, just to hear what I mean, and to know how to deal with you when I see you in the future. ”

Zhu Zhanji's words, Hu Shanxiang heard it for the first time, and suddenly stared at him in surprise: "He knows? ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled and shook his head: "You really treat your title as the future eldest concubine as a bargain on the street." ”

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Hu Shanxiang's heart also dripped.

"I'm so good..... It seems that I can't talk nonsense with them in the future. ”

Looking at Hu Shanxiang's serious little appearance, Zhu Zhanji was amused and laughed again.

Households.

Zhu Zhanji walked in front, and Hu Shanxiang followed behind his buttocks.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, had a smug smile on his face.

"Lord Xia!"

"What are you so happy about?"

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's voice, Xia Yuanji turned his head to look.

Seeing that it was Zhu Zhanji, the smile on his face became even bigger.

He took a fold in his hand, walked quickly to Zhu Zhanji, and then handed the fold in his hand to Zhu Zhanji's hand, although he tried to suppress it, he still said excitedly: "Your Royal Highness, you see, it's just the accounts that the household officials have calculated overnight. The specific recipe for the division into the mu and the fire consumption to the public has come out. ”

Listening to Xia Yuanji's words, Zhu Zhanji was a little curious.

Of course, what is curious is not that the stall is into the mu and the fire consumption is returned to the public, but that this method is calculated and calculated, and he Xia Yuanji will not be so happy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji opened the fold and looked at it.

But after a cursory glance at a few pages, he didn't notice what was worthy of Xia Yuanji's happiness.

I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Calculate it and calculate it, why is Lord Xia so happy?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji tried hard to restrain the smile on his face, but he still couldn't: "Is Weichen's performance so obvious?" ”

Xia Yuanji's answer to Zhu Zhanji was really unexpected.

"What do you think?"

Faced with Zhu Zhanji's question, Xia Yuanji didn't answer, and after taking the fold directly from Zhu Zhanji's hand, he turned directly to the last page, and then said happily: "Your Highness, do you know how much silver the imperial court can increase in a year only when the fire consumption is returned to the public?" ”

"More than three hundred and sixty thousand taels!"

Without waiting for Zhu Zhanji to say anything, Xia Yuanji continued to exaggerate and said: "This is one-tenth of the annual tax paid by the imperial court in previous years!" ”

Looking at Xia Yuanji, who seemed to have made a windfall, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"What do I have for you, that's it."

When Zhu Zhanji said this, Xia Yuanji was immediately unhappy: "Your Highness, this is one-tenth of the tax, I don't know how many big things to do, if there is already this one-tenth of the tax, why would the imperial court still take treasure money and spices to make up the amount when distributing money to officials." ”

However, no matter how Xia Yuanji explained and refuted, Zhu Zhanji still didn't take it seriously.

More than 3.6 million taels .....

What big things can be done, it is enough for his eldest grandson to hold a big wedding, although his wedding in history in memory did not cost more than 3.6 million taels, but it also used 2.7 million taels, the difference is not big. (Here is the data of the Ming Dynasty, which cost 2.7 million silver, and the actual historical wedding cost 2.8 million stone grain and 2.8 million silk yarn)

On the contrary, this Xia Yuanji is holding a cornucopia in his hand, but he treats it as a trash can for throwing garbage.

The Ming treasure banknote was pioneered by his grandfather, this thing is played, can the Ming Dynasty be short of money?

I dare not say that the common people will not starve to death, but as long as the imperial court is willing, it is impossible to lack money.

But it's a pity that such a good thing was just thrown away by someone, and it didn't maintain its value in society at all.

This is the limitation of the times.....

If he can operate this Ming treasure banknote well by means of future financial means, it is impossible for him to lose the world because the money is not in his hands.

To put it bluntly, this is a sickle for cutting leeks, as long as you don't use it to dig roots, do the thing of killing chickens and eggs, and cut leeks from time to time, why is this the case.

Especially now that it is still in ancient times, the world of feudal dynasties, and there are no other financial forces outside to stir up.

And you have the right to mint money, the right to issue money, and all the other monetary powers, if you can play until the treasury is left without silver and the country is destroyed, then there is nothing to say.

Therefore, after knowing all this, how could Zhu Zhanji be as excited as Xia Yuanji for more than three million taels of silver.

"Okay, let's stop in moderation, you can't close your mouth when you're happy."

However, the more Zhu Zhanji said this, the happier Xia Yuanji became.

It's been a long time, every day is radish and green vegetables shabu tofu, this is finally enough to eat dumplings, he Xia Yuanji can not be happy.

"Your Royal Highness, you really don't care about the family, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, the emperor goes to the north every once in a while, and the finances of the imperial court are tight....... As a courtier, I can't help but share my worries for the emperor. ”

"But now the situation is slowly getting better, this is just a fire consumption to the public, and when the stall into the mu and the official gentry discuss the bulk of the grain to be collected, Weichen doesn't have to dream every day that the emperor will go to the north to fight again."

As soon as Xia Yuanji said this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly burst out laughing.

It seems that the war of my old man is not only my father's nightmare.

However, Zhu Zhanji still deliberately pretended to have a sinking face, and said: "Lord Xia, as a courtier, if you make fun of the emperor about state affairs, aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor?" ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Xia Yuanji's face also changed instantly.

The excited look just now is also gone.

said nervously: "It's Wei Chen's mouth, look at my broken mouth, Wei Chen was too excited just now, he forgot his sense of proportion for a while, and he hoped that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson would punish him!" ”

Looking at Xia Yuanji, whose face changed instantly, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you, don't be so serious." I think that if the old man knew that the finances had increased so much, he was afraid that it would not be your turn to say this, and he would say it himself. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, he understood that this was His Royal Highness the eldest grandson joking with him, and Xia Yuanji also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

But when he speaks again, he is very measured.

"This matter is also thanks to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, if there are no orders from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, not to mention that the imperial court's financial revenue has increased so much, even if Weichen is a hundred years later, he may also be pointed at and scolded for misleading the country and the people."

"I haven't thanked my eldest grandson in person for this."

However, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand indifferently and said, "Okay, it's all for the court, so there is no need to say more." ”

"By the way, now that the matter on your side has been completed, the implementation of the new deal should also be put on the agenda. And after such a fuss, the implementation of the new policy is not a secret, so there is no need for us to hide it anymore. Yang Shiqi Lord Yang, you and I should discuss it together, and it is best to finalize it at this time in a day or two. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji naturally had no opinion on Zhu Zhanji's words.

"Lord Yang should be in the cabinet at this time, Your Highness please go to the house and wait for a while, and Weichen will order someone to invite Lord Yang over."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Just when Xia Yuanji ordered someone to go to the Shang study room and invite Yang Shiqi to come over and discuss it together.

At this time, Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi.

Ji Gang, who is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is receiving the prisoners arrested this time with the people of Dongchang.

Most of these people are known to him.

However, now that he is still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect himself, so naturally he will not worry too much about saving these people.

In the yamen of Fusi in Nabei Town, the people of Dongchang were checking the number and identity of the prisoners while handling the documents for handing over the prisoners with Ji Gang.

It wasn't until all the formalities were completed that the people from the East Factory carefully repeated what Zhu Zhanji had told Huang Yan again.

Who should be dealt with and how to deal with it are explained in detail.

If it was the usual Ji Gang, he might still think about these things, but now he just listened quietly to the instructions.

It wasn't until the people from the East Factory left that Ji Gang took the list of personnel in his hand and pondered it.

"Is it because of the power of the East Factory that Jinyiwei was specially asked to do this errand?"

Ji Gang slapped the list fold in his hand on the table casually, while guessing Zhu Zhanji's purpose and intentions for doing this.

can think about it, now he can't do anything at all, the handle and the small life are in the hands of others, and he can only act according to orders.

As for whether His Royal Highness the eldest grandson wants to take this opportunity to test himself, or whether it is difficult to deal with these things because of the power of the East Factory, or whether he has any other purpose, he cannot change this established fact.

"Someone! Call Qi Cheng to me! ”

After a while, when Qi Cheng, the commander of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division, arrived, Ji Gang handed the fold in his hand directly to Qi Cheng without covering up or mixing any water, and said: "This is the list of a batch of prisoners sent by Dongchang, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has also explained the disposal of these people, this matter is a little sensitive to me, so I will hand it over to you." ”

After speaking, he also specially instructed: "This matter is very important, do what you have to do, if there is a little problem, before His Royal Highness the eldest grandson cuts off my head, I will cut yours first!" ”

I have to say that after all, Ji Gang has been the commander of this Jinyiwei for decades, although most of his affairs have now reached the ears of Jinyiwei everywhere, and rumors about him are also making a fuss.

But at this time, he is still the boss of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard,

Before this point changed, this brocade guard still had the final say.

At least this Qi Cheng in front of him is still shocked.

After hearing Ji Gang's words, Qi Cheng didn't have any nonsense, and said directly: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

After Qi Cheng left, Ji Gang pondered again.

Now that he has handed over the matter to his subordinates, even if he stays out of the matter, it also indirectly shows his attitude.

Since His Royal Highness the eldest grandson did not kill himself this time, he should not deliberately use this incident to embarrass him, and there should be no more changes in this matter itself.

However, this kind of day of being feared and vigilant from time to time is not what he Ji Gang wants.

And if you want to change all this, you must first gain the trust of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, so that the situation can be broken.

Thinking of this, Ji Gang, who had been sitting in the yamen for a while, got up directly and left the Jinyi Guard, heading towards the palace.

In a room in the compound of the household.

Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji, plus Hu Shanxiang, a hench hiding in the corner, are discussing the next implementation of the new policy.

"Then, according to Lord Yang's intentions, we will be able to directly distribute the standards for the implementation of the new policy to the yamen of various prefectures tomorrow."

Hearing Xia Yuanji's words, Yang Shiqi nodded and said, "Exactly, His Royal Highness also said just now, since there is no need to hide it, then implement it generously." Then, according to the problems reported by the prefectures, they will be solved step by step. After His Royal Highness took the opportunity to knock on all parties before, they didn't dare to openly resist the new policy of the imperial court again. ”

"However, what has to be guarded against is that they dare not come openly, and there will be no shortage of methods in secret."

"Compared with the policy of apportioning the land into the mu, it is easier for the officials and gentry to pay grain in one piece, and the imperial court directly canceled their tax-free powers, and only needed to send someone to check the amount of taxes they should pay. Needless to say, there are accounts of the household department here, but there will not be many. ”

"The key is how to account for the land under its name and the various businesses that need to pay taxes."

"However, although these are not so easy to do, the good thing is that the number of people who are exempt from tax is not too large. Just ........."

Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi suddenly hesitated.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji asked, "Does Lord Yang have any concerns?" ”

Yang Shiqi did not hide it, nodded straightforwardly, and said: "These people who have the right to tax exemption in the imperial court are either important ministers of the imperial court, or the relics of the previous dynasty, or royal relatives. If you want them to cooperate with the accounting, you have to hire a person of great prestige......."

When he said this, Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Zhanji meaningfully.

Obviously, Zhu Zhanji had to personally come forward to solve this matter. Of course, Zhu Zhanji does not want to come forward to account for it personally, after all, as the person who presided over the implementation of the new policy, his biggest role is to sit in the center and command the overall situation, rather than running to the front to be busy with these things.

And the reason why he looked at Zhu Zhanji was to say that this matter had to be solved by him, Zhu Zhanji.

As for the specific candidate......

Listening to Yang Shiqi's words and feeling his meaningful eyes, Zhu Zhanji knew it in his heart.

Because of the problems and difficulties that Yang Shiqi could think of, how could he Zhu Zhanji not think of them.

The reason why he Yang Shiqi had to look at himself was obviously because the person he was thinking about was not something that he Yang Shiqi could invite.

And Zhu Zhanji didn't expect this candidate.

Even the foreshadowing has been done in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji was not modest, and said directly: "Your Royal Highness understands what Lord Yang means, and I will handle this candidate." ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji understood his thoughts with just one look, Yang Shiqi also sighed ten thousand times in his heart.

Can this blame the emperor for shouting every day and thinking about the holy grandson?

Just being so smart and clever can outperform countless people in the world.

What's more, judging from the expression of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson just now, it was obvious that he had thought of all the problems and difficulties he had thought of, and even the solution to the problem.

But when listening to his own high-minded talk here, he can not show his expression, how many people can this city beat......
