"Concrete roads have proven to be far more powerful than imagined in even harsher environments."

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin held a document in his hand, facing the six departments, the five temples, the three law divisions, the Shanglin Yuan supervisor, and the officials of the tax office, and made a loud noise.

At this time, the yamen of the various ministries and departments of the imperial court had been sealed, but the officials of the ministry still had to make a final year-end summary, and they had already made a work plan for the next year.

As Xie Jin opened his mouth to state the superiority of the cement road, several chamberlains sent documents with the same content to the hands of the more than ten officials in the Wenyuan Pavilion at this moment.

They were the people with the highest status and the heaviest authority in the entire Ming Dynasty official system.

Such as the newly promoted Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Zhai Shan, the Wenhuadian University Scholar, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Ren Hengtai and so on.

Everyone took the work summary and plan documents of the Wenhua Hall and began to read them.

Xie Jin continued: "Daming has an existing cement road, starting from Yingtiancheng, connecting to the Taipingfu mine. This winter, there is heavy snow in the south of the Yangtze River, and the official road is blocked and difficult to unblock.

Although the snow stopped later, and the court and the government cleared the roads, in the past few days, the snow has melted and the water has melted, and the official roads and countryside have become more and more muddy, and it is more difficult for the court to transport grain and grass materials and the travel of merchants and people.

However, the cement road from Yingtiancheng to Taipingfu Mine is still unimpeded and has not been troubled by melting snow and water, and the smooth flow of freight between the two places shows the convenience of the cement road."

Speaking of this, Xie Jin turned to look at the imperial grandson who was sitting above.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister asked Hongwu in the twenty-eighth year, the imperial court allocated grain and grass, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household cooperated to build a cement road between the eight counties of Yingtianfu. Construct cement roads from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou, Huai'an, and Fengyang."

Xie Jin This is the imperial court budget for the 28th year of Hongwu, and only the budget plan adopted today will be discussed and finalized at the imperial court budget meeting after the beginning of the year.

Zhu Yunxi leaned back in the circle chair, this was his first time participating in the financial resolution and budget meeting of the Ming Dynasty.

The emergence of administrative acts did not appear suddenly, and since the Central Plains had a complete political system, there have been many political acts that also existed in later generations.

Without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak, Yu Xin, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and a scholar of the household department, stood up.

He first bowed to Zhu Yunxi, and then looked at Xie Jin: "The household department does not agree."

Yu Xin didn't give Xie Jin a chance to refute the explanation.

Instead, he continued: "The convenience of the cement road is also obvious to all in the court these days, and the official has no intention of slandering the cement road. Bachelor Xie paved the way for more than a year last year, and worked hard.

On top of this document, regarding the construction of cement roads between the eight counties of Yingtianfu in the 28th year of Hongwu, the household department can also come up with money and grain, as long as the Ministry of Industry can organize enough paving people.

However, the cement road between Hangzhou Mansion, Huai'an Mansion and Fengyang Mansion should be connected in Tianfu, and the household department thought that the cement road had just come out and that Yingtianfu had never been connected. At this time, the imperial court spent money and grain to spread out this matter, and next year's world ditches, water transportation, sea transportation and other things, will the household department still give silver?"

Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up in response: "Your Highness, Bachelor Xie has the heart to communicate the way of the world, and the minister admires Scholar Xie for serving the country and the people. ….

However, if the cement road in the eight counties of Yingtianfu is to be built next year, the cement road from Yingtianfu to Sanfu will be built separately.

Not to mention how much it costs, it is difficult for the minister's Ministry of Industry to organize so many people for a while."

Not so much money, not so many people.

Yu Xin and Wang Jun directly threw the two questions to Xie Jin.

For a while, Xie Jin couldn't find a reason to refute it. I can't say in front of such a person that the imperial court only builds roads, and nothing else has to be done.

In the end, Xie Jin could only look at the imperial grandson above.

Zhu Yunxi kept gently patting the deputy of the circle chair with his palm, his eyes slid over the faces of Xie Jin, Yu Xin, and Wang Jun, and finally looked at Zhai Shan, the secretary of the ministry.

"What do the officials think should be done on this matter?"

Zhai Shan didn't expect such a matter that was only about the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, so he had to say it to the Ministry himself

What.

He could only stand up stubbornly, looked at the two Shangshu beside him, and then looked at Xie Jin who was standing aside.

Zhai Shan chuckled: "Your Highness, the minister just thought about it. In recent years, the restructuring or new things of our dynasty have been first implemented in Yingtianfu.

Therefore, Master Xie said that he wanted to build a cement road in the eight counties of Yingtianfu, and the minister and the household department had the same meaning, and this matter had to be done first.

As for connecting to other provinces...... Even if the cement road is to be built out of Yingtianfu, it should be connected to the surrounding prefectures and counties of Yingtianfu first. Therefore, the minister wants to hear the reason for the bachelor first."

Zhu Yunxi snorted and looked at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin nodded, and explained to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the cement road connecting Yingtianfu to Hangzhou Mansion was built so that the imperial court could transfer the money, grain, and materials of Hangzhou Mansion more quickly.

As you know, now that our dynasty has opened up two roads, Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, the general is still opening up a larger territory for our dynasty. The supplies of the entire south were sent to Hangzhou through Qinghua Port and Changhua Port.

The same is true of Huai'an Mansion. As for the construction of the cement road connecting Fengyang Mansion, it is because it is the ancestral land of my Ming Dynasty and the capital of my court."

After Xie Jin finished talking about the political and economic reasons for the construction of the cement road in Sanfudi, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he continued: "As for what Zhai Shangshu asked, why didn't you build the cement roads in the surrounding counties of Yingtianfu first. It is because in the plan of the lower officials, these three cement roads are used as the center, as long as these three roads are repaired, the imperial court can use them as the backbone in the future and extend to the prefectures and counties along the road. In this way, it is better to be more thorough in one go than to finish step by step, section by section."

Zhai Shan nodded, he understood the reason.

At that moment, I couldn't help but glance back at Yu Xin and Wang Jun, and then said softly, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Bachelor Jie's words are reasonable. It's just that...... It shows that the imperial court is making such a big fanfare, and the minister is worried about whether the imperial court's money and grain will be reserved for next year."

Yu Xin and Wang Jun, who were originally worried that Zhai Shan would fall to Xie Jin, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Zhai Shan's words, although he agreed with Xie Jin's explanation, also pointed out the difficulties of the imperial court's finances.

Xie Jin suddenly said angrily, "In the past two years, the imperial court's income has increased greatly. Zhejiang Province gives millions of taels of silver, millions of quintals of grain and grass every year, and countless lessons of various colors. ….

The army of Zhenwei has millions of taels of gold and silver every year, and countless grain and grass materials have been transported to Hangzhou Fucang, Huai'an Fucang and Yingtianhu Department in Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road.

How could the court have no silver, no food, and no supplies?"

Yu Xin pursed his lips and glanced at Xie Jin: "Does Master Xie think that every day in the world is a peaceful day?

This winter alone, in order to provide relief to the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yangtze River, our household department has allocated more than 2 million quintals of grain and grass and one million taels of snowflake silver, which is not counting the expenses for transporting grain seeds for the local people after the beginning of spring.

Moreover, His Royal Highness King Yan sent back to Beijing a few days ago, King Yan will personally lead the troops to the north next year, and the imperial court will have to leave a sum of silver, a batch of grain, grass and ordnance to send to Beiping City.

Bachelor Xie, open your mouth, there are so many roads, will my household department do anything else next year? Or did I go back and ask for money?"

Xie Jin's eyes widened, and his heart was depressed.

He felt that the life of the household department in the past two years was far better than in the past, and there were millions of taels of money and millions of taels of money every year, how could there be no money.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel.

Xia Yuanji, who was not qualified to participate in this Wenyuan Pavilion's decision, stood up at the back of everyone.

He was able to participate in it because he was also the reason why he was walking in the Wenhua Palace.

Xia Yuanji stood up, attracted everyone's turned gazes, and smiled slightly: "Ministry, if it's next year, the income of the household department will definitely be much more than this year."

Yu Xin's eyes widened when Xia Yuanji stood up

。

It turned out that he could only have one person to attend today's resolution on behalf of the household department, and because of Xia Yuanji's name of walking in the Wenhua Palace, he could also participate in it.

It's just that Xia Yuanji didn't give Yu Xin a chance to speak, he just glanced at Xie Jin calmly, and then looked at the imperial grandson above: "Your Royal Highness, in the past two years, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has supervised the tax envoys of the Six Dao Fields, and has been following the example of Zhejiang Dao for the imperial court and implementing the matter of apportioning the land into the mu.

Although the six difficulties far exceed those of Zhejiang Dao, it has lasted for two years. At the end of this year, the minister will read the documents related to the six provinces, and next year's six summer and autumn taxes will definitely increase by millions of taels compared with previous years, which can be used to build cement roads in the three provinces and support other affairs of the imperial court.

However, the minister thought that the three roads were built at the same time, even if the court did not lack money and food, but after all, it would be difficult for the people to be conscripted and served along the road.

It is better to build a cement road from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou Mansion first, so that the Hangzhou Mansion Warehouse and the Hubu Warehouse can be connected first, so that the imperial court can transfer grain and grass materials from the two places in the future."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xia Yuanji, who was standing at the back of everyone, and then glanced at Xie Jin.

Compared with Xie Jin's official, Xia Yuanji is undoubtedly sleek. It explains where the money and food come from, and also points out the most important choice that the court should make, and also explains the reasons.

Sure enough, after Xia Yuanji finished speaking, Yu Xin, who was originally annoyed that he had made a sum of money and food for the household department, was most of the dissatisfaction in his heart. ….

Yu Xin coughed lightly, and didn't look at Xie Jin's meaning, and said directly: "Your Highness, if you follow the meaning of Xia Xing, the household department can allocate money and grain next year, and Master Xie will build a cement road from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou Mansion."

Xie Jin's face was eager, and just as he was about to speak, Zhu Yunxi had already raised a hand.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xie Jin, and then said to Yu Xin, "In this way, after the beginning of the year, I will bring this matter to the court to talk about it. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry should negotiate in advance to see how much money and food will cost this road, and how much labor will need to be levied on the people."

Xie Jin couldn't help but feel depressed, and Yu Xin and Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the three people who don't wait for different tastes in their hearts think that this matter is over.

Zhu Yunxi had already spoken again: "Huai'an Mansion is responsible for the storage of money and grain in the Nine Sides, and Fengyang Mansion is the land of my Ming ancestors. These two cement roads should also be considered by the imperial court.

Next year, the cement road to Hangzhou will be built at the same time in sections, and it will probably be completed by the end of the year. I hope that by this time next year, I will be able to discuss the other two paths with you here."

Yu Xin and Wang Jun, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were short of breath again, and the two looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in their hearts.

It seems that sooner or later, road construction will become a national policy.

Yuan Sutai, who walked into Wenyuan Pavilion for the first time and participated in the political meeting at the top of the Ming Dynasty, was excited from the moment he walked here.

This time he was looking left and right, constantly learning the play of those people just now and the response of both sides.

At this moment, the matter of building the road is finally over.

Don't wait for the grandson to speak.

Yuan Sutai had already stood up suddenly.

Probably because Yuan Sutai was too excited, with a bang, the stool under his buttocks fell to the ground and pressed on the feet of Ma Quan, the Qing of Guanglu Temple behind him.

Ma Quan exclaimed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yuan Sutai, who had already stood up, looked at everyone's gaze with a flushed face, and nervously turned around and said sorry to Ma Quan.

Then under Ma Quan's resentful gaze, Yuan Sutai had already turned around.

"Your Highness, Shanglin Yuan has asked Hongwu to spend 300,000 taels in the 28th year, 300,000 quintals of grain and grass, and 30,000 taels of people's husbands."

Yuxin, the head of the Ministry of Households, who had just sat down, had not yet covered his buttocks, so he immediately stood up ahead of Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and pressed back Wang Jun who had just lifted his butt before he reached out.

Then, I saw Yu Xin say to Yuan Sutai with a smile on his face, "Yuan Jianzheng, are 300,000 taels and 300,000 taels enough? If it is not enough, the household department can pay 500,000 taels of money and 500,000 quintals of grain to the forest superintendent

Cao, I think the Ministry of Industry will definitely be able to levy 50,000 people for Yuan Jianzheng!"

Wang Jun opened his mouth, raised his head blankly and glared at Yu Xin, who was preempted and made the master for his own ministry.

This guy is really a son of man in vain!

On the side, Xie Jin, who had turned three roads into one road, was slightly relieved just now because his grandson said that he would plan to build the other two roads next year, and at this time, looking at Yu Xin's face, he began to be depressed again.

Co-authoring to build your own roads and annoy people?

Xia Yuanji looked at the depressed Xie Jin, smiled slightly, shook his head and sat on the stool. ….

This matter is obvious, Yuan Sutai is making money for the household department, not to mention the cotton in front, just say that this year's sweet potatoes are enough for Yu Xin to take out one million taels for them to go to Lin Yuan to supervise.

If someone goes to Lin Yuan to supervise one million taels, they can recover five million taels, what a cost-effective business, if Yu Xin doesn't calculate this account, he can jump into Xuanwu Lake and drown now.

You Xie Jin builds roads every day, spends money alone, and the income has to be measured through a long time to know whether it seems to be profitable or losing.

Which is more important, who people love at a glance.

Yuan Sutai swallowed his saliva, looked at Yu Xin with sincere eyes, and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you Yu Shangshu, but Shanglin Yuan only needs 300,000 taels of silver, 300,000 loads of grain and grass, and 10,000 people.

Next year, the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor will continue to improve the grain varieties of the Central Plains, try to carry out the concentrated breeding of livestock, and promote the planting of sweet potatoes. At the same time, the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor also gave the people some grain and silver first, so that they could choose to plant a crop of cotton in rotation and improve some of the fields that were too salty.

There are too many people in our Lin Yuan Prison to do things, and we can't use them up."

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yuan Sutai to be so unappreciative.

If you don't want to go to Lin Yuanjian, don't do it, and there is no need to refuse it in front of so many people, when you just said that you can give more budget.

After thinking about it, Yu Xin could only hum twice to express his unhappiness.

No way.

There are too many superintendents of Shanglin Yuan to the household department!

Zhu Yunxi felt a little funny, although the officialdom atmosphere in the imperial court was a little wrong recently, but this scene at this moment was particularly interesting.

"Since the household department has no opinion, this matter will be sorted out and the court will pass it after the beginning of the year."

Subsequently, the military department and other officials came together to play the relevant financial budgets of various ministries and departments in the 28th year of Hongwu.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, it was particularly 'lively' for a while, which made people feel that the colleagues of the Ming Dynasty were extraordinarily 'cordial,.

It wasn't until these ministers discussed all the way to a friendly discussion, and in the afternoon, after a meal in the Wenyuan Pavilion, did they end the last court meeting in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi made a concluding remarks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, our dynasty has implemented various reforms and restructurings for three years."

"At this age, the Ming Dynasty will receive four million stones in two taxes, six million ingots in banknotes, 800,000 horses of cloth, three million taels of gold and silver, and millions and hundreds of thousands of dollars in all kinds of classes."

"This is all the work of the Qings, and I hope that the Zhuqing will walk side by side in the coming year to recreate the prosperity of the Central Plains."

More than a dozen ministry officials bowed together: "This is the benevolence and benevolence of the heavenly family, and the ministers will do their best, and they will serve the society to the death."

Zhu Yunxi stood on the hall and watched the officials leave.

Zhu Gaochi, who deliberately stayed until the end and complained that the tax office did not get a satisfactory budget, has not yet spoken.

Outside Wenyuan Pavilion, Yutian had already rushed in in a hurry.

When Yutian entered the hall, he knelt on the ground with his legs weak, and he slipped and knelt in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes.

Zhu Yunxi looked puzzled, I don't know why this guy didn't stay in Taisun Mansion, why did he come here, his face was full of joy and worry, and he was sweating profusely.

Yutian was out of breath and gasped: "Temple...... Your Highness...... Pregnant...... Pregnant! Taisun Mansion is happy!"

Zhu Yunxi was still in a daze.

Zhu Gao

Chi had already walked to Yutian's side and grabbed the other party's collar: "Who is it?"

Yutian's face immediately showed bitterness: "It's the side concubine...... It's Concubine Mu's joy!"

Zhu Gaochi's face changed slightly, and when he turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, he still tried to squeeze out a bright smile.

Zhu Yunxi was already stunned and blank.

Are you going to be a father?

Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi and Yutian to speak, Zhu Yunxi had already jumped out a lot.

By the time the two of them came back to their senses, where could they still see Zhu Yunxi's figure, which had already disappeared outside Wenyuan Pavilion.

Yutian swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhu Gaochi with wide eyes: "Shizi, now this and this......

Zhu Gaochi stomped his feet, because Brother Xi was a new father, he had forgotten his identity as a royal son.

He lifted Yutian, who was still at a loss, and slapped the other party: "What are you doing standing! Don't go to Taisun Mansion with me!"

Yutian blinked.

I was pulled up by you~
