These two people who walked into the main hall, one presided over the reform of Zhejiang Daotianmu, and the other was far away from the overseas Japanese country.

Unexpectedly, they returned to Beijing and entered the court. couldn't help but make the hundred officials in the hall feel curious, and looked at Xia Yuanji and Zhang Wen with some unusual meaning.

On the bodies of Xia Yuanji and Zhang Wen, there is a trace of dew in late autumn, especially on Zhang Wen's body.

He sailed all the way from the Yangtze River into the Qinhuai River and entered the city outside the Dongshui Pass. On the surface of the river, the water vapor is heaviest at this moment.

When the Manchu Dynasty was curious and wondered why the two of them would return to Beijing at this time. Xia Yuanji and Zhang Wen also looked at the position between the emperor, the crown prince, and the grandson on the majestic steps with puzzled faces.

The first to catch the eyes of the two was the imperial grandson sitting in the circle chair. Then there was His Majesty the Emperor, who stretched out his hand and pressed on the shoulders of the grandson, standing on the side with his hands on his waist.

In the end, the crown prince stood aside. Xia Yuanji and Zhang Wen didn't have time to think about it, and when they arrived in the hall, they shook their robes and knelt on the ground.

The two of them looked solemn.

"Ministers Xia Yuanji, Zhang Wen, see Your Majesty, see the crown prince, see the grandson." Zhu Yunxi was happy in his heart, and turned his head to look at the old man beside him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson and nodded slightly. Then, Zhu Yunxi faced Xia Yuanji and Zhang Wen and said, "With the emperor's order, return thousands of miles, get up." The two of them ordered Shane to get up.

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Count it out, you two have been away from Beijing for a year, what is the situation between Zhejiang and the Wa Kingdom now." The soldiers of the Zhenwei army have fought bravely. Xia Yuanji and Zhang Wen glanced at each other.

One of the two of them is to preside over the reform of Zhejiang's Daotian mu and commercial tax system. One is a general named the deputy general of the Zhenwei army, but he is actually responsible for the military operations of the Ming Dynasty in the territory of the Japanese state.

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhang Wen's eyes and smiled. Then, pride. He bowed down to the steps of his majesty.

"Minister Xia Yuanji, received the emperor's order, served as the deputy of Zhejiang Province disaster relief reform, since the winter of Hongwu 24 years into Zhejiang Road, counted the acres of land, implemented the apportionment into the mu, the integration of the official gentry, the collection of commercial taxes, the cold and summer, the more years old, now Zhejiang Road up and down, the appearance of the new, the initial results, then returned to Beijing with fruits, dedicated to the court, dedicated to Your Majesty." The restructuring of Zhejiang Road has borne fruit!

Although this result was expected by hundreds of officials, no one wanted to see this day with their own eyes in the face of the fact that the land was divided into acres and the officials and gentry were integrated.

However, the emperor spoke expectantly: "Oh? Xia Qing worked hard, quickly said the current situation of Zhejiang Province, how much is the amount of summer grain and autumn endowment in Zhejiang Province this year, how much is the commercial tax, and how is the livelihood of the local people, they may be well fed and clothed. This is also the question of everyone in the Middle Pole Hall at this moment.

If Zhejiang Dao has achieved remarkable results after the restructuring from last winter to the present, then there will be no obstacle to the comprehensive implementation of the restructuring by all the provinces in the world in the Ming Dynasty.

At the very least, the emperor would definitely force it. And in the face of Emperor Hongwu, who was standing on the throne right now, no one wanted to be an enemy with him.

No! Today's Ming Dynasty, today's world, no one is qualified to be an opponent with him! This is the majesty of the emperor since the founding of the Ming Dynasty 25 years ago, and the lives and heads of the emperor.

Xia Yuanji held his head high, took out the piece of music that had been arranged and written earlier from his sleeve, and held it in both hands, high above his head.

Sun Gou'er was sharp-eyed and quick-handed, hurriedly walked down the steps again, carefully took the chapter, trotted back to the steps, and presented it to the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang took over the chapter. Xia Yuanji had already spoken: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has led the ministers and others to work the restructuring of Zhejiang Dao, and the existing achievements are remarkable. This Xia Weizhe really admitted that the restructuring of Zhejiang Province has achieved remarkable results!

In the court, the hundred officials began to whisper. And Xia Yuanji's voice echoed in the hall for a long time.

"This year, Zhejiang Province has collected a total of 3,977,821 quintals of rice and wheat for summer grain and autumn grain." Bang.

The entire Middle Pole Hall was in an uproar, and the original whispers turned into thunder, directly covering up the words that Xia Yuanji prepared next.

"It can't be!"

"How can there be such a large amount!"

"It's appalling to have such results at just one year old......"

"Zhejiang Dao can have exploitation, why is it like this...... Such a harvest ...... "The entire Middle Temple, especially the civil officials, who served as household officials, have completely changed their color.

At this moment, even the supervising imperial historians on both sides of the main hall forgot to correct the discipline of the court, as if their jaws had been smashed on the ground.

On the steps, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the chapter was also trembling silently. Zhu Yunxi had already expected it in his heart, and when he saw such a scene, he was not anxious, but waited for a while before coughing lightly twice and said in a deep voice: "Silence!" After repeating this several times, the superintendents on both sides came to their senses and began to join the team to correct the discipline of the court.

After a while, the agitation in the Middle Pole Hall became smaller. Zhu Yunxi looked at Xia Yuanji, who was full of energy, and gestured, "Wei Zhe continued to speak." Xia Yuanji nodded, when he first saw this number, he was far more shocked and surprised than these officials in the court now.

Xia Yuanji continued: "This year, Zhejiang Province has collected taxes on merchants, stores, customs, merchants, and maritime merchants, totaling 770,000 taels of silver. ”

"The salt tax is levied 370,000 yuan."

"There are tea classes, weaving, pearl diving, charcoal, banknotes, etc., where there is an increase in ......" Xia Yuanji is still gushing about the harvest of Zhejiang Daohongwu 25 years one by one.

And in the Zhongji Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials, up to the emperor, have been completely numb.

"When did we become so rich?"

"So much money?"

"So much to hear......

"......" sighed one after another, blurting out uncontrollably in the mouths of hundreds of officials. Zhu Yunxi was also surprised.

Although he knew that the Zhejiang Provincial Reform would be fruitful, he never thought that there would be such a big benefit.

Just like the two taxes in summer and autumn, in recent years, Zhejiang Province has collected two taxes of more than 2.7 million quintals per year because of seven points of mountains and three points of land.

But this year, nearly 4 million quintals have been collected. That's an increase of about 1.3 million quintals! And the commercial tax is even more excessive, nearly 800,000 taels of taxation!

It's so rich! Even Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh viciously in his heart at this moment.

Like everyone in the hall, Prince Zhu Biao also had a surprised expression on his face at this moment, but he quickly reacted, then looked at Xia Yuanji, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Weizhe, can what Zhejiang Dao did be true?" "The summer and autumn taxes are 1.3 million taels more, and the commercial taxes are nearly 800,000 taels more.

Not to mention other levies such as salt classes and tea classes. These two things alone are enough to be called a great achievement. Xia Yuanji nodded solemnly: "Back to the prince, the sentences played by Zhejiang Dao are true." Nowadays, Taicang, Hangzhou Prefecture, has three million quintals of summer and autumn taxes in Zhejiang Province, 600,000 taels of tax silver, and countless other taxes are levied. The imperial court can send officials to Hangzhou at any time to count and calculate. This is the advantage of the central court directly grasping the tax, and the tax collected can be directly and clearly collected and released into the state capital Taicang, and there is no room for fraud.

The prince laughed and was delighted. Zhu Yunxi looked back at the old man, and his eyes were constantly shining at this moment.

Then, he looked at the hundred officials in the court, and these people all looked shocked. Zhu Yunxi immediately asked in a deep voice: "Wei Zhe, Zhejiang Province is levied on the two taxes, commercial taxes, and taxes this year, can there be exploitation, can the people have enough food and clothing, and whether the local government can live in peace and happiness." "This is also the most important question.

If you exploit it, don't give the people any surplus grain, and don't copy every businessman, you can get as much grain as you want.

And the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people are the most important things for the imperial court. Xia Yuanji raised his already high head higher, and erected his straight waist even more upright.

"Returning to the grandson, the people of Zhejiang Province live in peace, and their families have surplus grain and full warehouses, and they have enough food and clothing. The business is smooth and the economy is circulating. Zhejiang Dao has never been exploited and forcibly requisitioned this year. The imperial court can do this, and order the three divisions and Jinyi Wei to go to someone to verify, and Zhejiang Dao will never hide and deceive! "Throughout the year, Xia Yuanji traveled all over the eleven prefectures and counties of Zhejiang Province, and took people to verify the summer and autumn taxes, commercial taxes, and the collection of various taxes one by one.

"Zhejiang Dao has achieved brilliant results, and I am very happy!" Finally, after a long period of shock, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, personally affirmed Xia Yuanji's official report.

The emperor finished speaking. Countless people in the civilian train have taken steps. Zhan Hui, the secretary of the ministry, grabbed the first sequence, waved his sleeves, and stood in front of the court with a ruddy face.

"The Ministry of Ministers, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Shi Zhan Hui, please play Your Majesty, and issue an order to allow the Ming Jingshi and the remaining eleven provinces to implement the reform of Zhejiang Province this year, increase taxes for the country, increase food and clothing for the people, and open a peaceful and prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty!" Yu Xin, who was still thinking about the book of the household, was half a step slower after all.

had to be attached to Zhan Hui, bowed down and asked: "The minister seconded the proposal and asked Your Majesty to implement the reform of Zhejiang Dao." In the back, there were more officials from various ministries, departments, departments and yamen of the court.

"The ministers seconded the proposal, please ask Your Majesty to approve the reform." These people are either loyal to the court, or they are hardworking, or they are loyal people who are loyal to the name of the country.

The purpose is different, but the goal is the same. However, those local scholars were born, had countless fertile fields at home, and the officials attached to the merchants were like sitting on wax.

Seeing that one colleague after another completely abandoned their neutral or hesitant attitude towards the restructuring of Zhejiang Province, and comprehensively reversed themselves to promoting the restructuring, I was already panicked in my heart.

The wind direction has changed. Everyone knows that there is a lot of money in the world, but no one really thought that the imperial court could have so much money without affecting the people's peace of mind.

You must know that Zhejiang Road is a place where there are seven mountains and three parts. Even such a place can have nearly four million quintals of two taxes to be collected.

If it is exchanged for Zhili, Huguang, Jiangxi, Henan, and Shandong, which are important grain-producing areas, how much will the imperial court increase the two taxes?

If the commercial tax reform is carried out to Zhili, only Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, these places where merchants are developed, how much tax and silver can be collected for the imperial court.

Don't dare to think! Don't dare to think! No one dared to imagine what it would be like. Hubu Dacang, Taicang all over the imperial court, can it be fitted?

At this moment, almost most of the officials were already wondering whether the imperial court warehouse could hold the two taxes and tax silver.

Even Zhu Yunxi didn't expect that the change would come so quickly. But he didn't know that more than half of the officials who went out to work and invited to play not only saw the reality that the imperial court could increase their income, but also saw that this matter was completely decided by the emperor, so why not do it himself at this time.

And Zhu Yuanzhang swept over the officials in front of him and looked at Zhang Wen, the deputy general of the Zhenwei army and the Marquis of Huining, who was standing aside.

"Hou Ninghou, how is the affairs of the country?" The emperor did not rush to make a conclusion about the restructuring because of the achievements of Zhejiang Province, but asked about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom.

Huining Hou Zhang Wen's body was shocked. After hearing Xia Yuanji talk about the matter of Zhejiang Dao, Zhang Wen was already thinking about what these people were doing in the Wa Kingdom, and they couldn't enter the eyes of His Majesty and the officials of the imperial court.

Zhang Wen coughed lightly and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, I went out to the town of the Japanese army in the autumn of the year, arrived at the Wa Kingdom in early winter, gathered craftsmen, and collected the Li Joseon and the Japanese people, and when the ministers returned to Beijing in the early summer of this year, a total of 500,000 taels of silver were mined and smelted, and this time it was anchored outside the Dongshui Pass. In addition, copper and iron and other outputs could not be transferred back to Beijing this time, and were stored in the camp of the Zhenwei army. In addition, 3,000 Japanese people were released and transported to Shanxi and other coal mines. More than 2,000 Japanese are now imprisoned in Suzhou Prefecture and guarded by Zhenhaiwei. Zhang Wen said very clearly.

This time, 500,000 taels of silver were brought back just outside the Dongshui Pass, and another 3,000 Japanese were sent to Shanxi to dig coal mines, and more than 2,000 Japanese were imprisoned in Suzhou Prefecture.

500,000 taels compared to nearly 800,000 taels of tax silver in Zhejiang Province, it was not surprising at first hearing. However, just between the messages, someone calculated and woke up.

This damn thing, the Japanese army that arrived only last winter wanted to prospect, open, excavate, and smelt, and it was loaded back to Beijing in the early summer of this year, and it took less than half a year to bring back 500,000 taels of silver.

In the future, there will be less time to build mines in the early stage, and if the miners are increased, some people have already concluded that the imperial court on the side of the Wa Kingdom can get a minimum of two million taels of silver per year!

One of the head of the household department stretched his neck hard, burped heavily, and then his eyes went up, and the person fell straight back to the ground.

The entire Zhongji Hall has gone crazy, and at this moment, whether it is a civil official or a military general, they all began to talk to each other without scruples, whispering, and constantly talking about the extra money and food from the imperial court.

Yu Xin, who did not become the secretary of the household department, also opened his mouth stupidly and muttered: "I have never been such a wealthy household official......"

"Good!" This time, Zhu Yunxi was the first to speak, staring at Zhang Wen with a glittering gaze: "The army of Zhenwei has made great contributions to the country, and the imperial court will be rewarded, and the front-line soldiers will all have meritorious service!" The eldest grandson's shout woke up Zhu Yuanzhang, who had unconsciously fallen into a dream.

Looking at the Zhongji Hall in front of him, which had completely lost the appearance of the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have any intention of being angry.

He looked down at his eldest grandson, who was sitting in a circle chair. Looking at this lively court like the entrance of the city, the pride that was so happy that he almost had to shout to vent his pride was constantly breeding in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
