Three million three hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver.

And it's just a month for the fourth phase.

That's it...... You don't have to do anything, just print a few words in the newspaper and you're done?

How to think, how incredible!

And what is even more surprising is that this month is such an income, so a year, it is a terrifying 40 million taels of silver!

This amount has even surpassed many investments in the palace.

No wonder Zhu Di was dumbfounded at this time, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing that Zhu Di was silent, Zhang Anshi and Hu Mu didn't dare to speak.

As for the other scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, they were also stunned.

This Nexperia is simply a ruthless money-making machine, and the speed of making money is really beyond people's imagination.

"Your Majesty......"

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Anshicai explained on the side: "Three million and three hundred thousand taels is a lot, but it ...... Next, with the silver, the Post Office also plans to make some articles on printing and paper, ink! Only by printing quickly and at a low price, and by the fact that the Post Office has penetrated into every corner of the world to provide convenience for the military and civilians who order, and in addition to this, the number of newspaper kiosks in various places can we continue to increase the number of newspapers ordered. Naturally, the revision of the newspaper is also a top priority......"

When Zhu Di heard this, he slowly came to his senses.

He already understood the model of Zhang Anshi and the Post Department.

Speaking of which, 40 million taels of silver this year is as if it was picked up, but in the final analysis, it is the dividend of laying a post station and a newspaper kiosk.

If it weren't for the countless post guards who worked diligently to deliver the newspaper to thousands of households, it would have been difficult to do so, and the people who wanted to read the newspaper only had to sit at the door of their home and get the newspaper at their fingertips.

With these, it is the basis for the continuous spread of newspapers, and only when the newspapers are laid out more and more, the more people buy newspapers, can this income be more and more.

At this time, Zhu Di couldn't help but admire Zhang Anshi's foresight.

This postal department seemed to have spent a lot of money at the beginning. But in fact, the imperial court not only penetrated into the villages and prefectures of the world, but also strengthened the message of the soldiers and civilians of the world, and even earned a lot of silver from it.

This can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone, and it is considered light to say that it kills three birds with one stone.

So Zhu Di thought for a while, and then said: "Here in the postal department, we still need to do our best, if there are not enough personnel, we will recruit people again!" There are not enough kiosks and post stations, so they continue to add more! There is no need to report the matter, the post office can decide on its own. ”

With Zhu Di's words, Zhang Anshi knew that it would be more convenient to do things in the future.

So Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I have thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, even if there is an adult who reads the newspaper every day, this is tens of millions." What's more, the content in the newspaper, there are many contents in the newspaper, which are all decrees of the imperial court and current news! These news do not need to be passed on by others, and are directly conveyed to the ears of ordinary soldiers and civilians. In Chen's view, the significance is extraordinary. Therefore, the minister believes that the post office here really needs to work harder, and must not be complacent. ”

From Zhu Di's standpoint, it is very good that this newspaper can directly implement his words.

From Zhang Anshi's standpoint, the real terrible thing about this newspaper is that it completely eliminates middlemen from making the difference.

You must know that before the New Deal, almost all the decrees of the imperial court had to be interpreted through layers of officials, and even after arriving at the local level, they needed to be interpreted by local scholars, security chiefs and chiefs.

On the surface, it is the emperor's will, but in fact, how to interpret and interpret it is almost in the hands of the reader!

In this case, it is really difficult to say whose will it is.

The essence of the New Deal is actually to defeat the middlemen of the scholars, through the new land policy, so that they can not monopolize the economy, and then through the reform of the bureaucracy, the new tax law is adopted, so that the local tax contractors are completely cut off!

Nowadays, the promotion of postal departments and newspapers is essentially to dilute their right to speak.

Economy, personnel, and propaganda, these three points are completely cut off from the scholars, so ...... Over time, this rentier class, which had been entrenched for thousands of years, naturally and inevitably weakened.

Nature...... This is not an absolutely righteous thing.

Because in essence, the expropriation of the scholar class was accomplished by the nouveau riche and merchant class after the birth of the New Deal.

These merchants, who gradually took control of the promotion business through bidding, established workshops, controlled a large number of craftsmen and laborers, and owned a large number of sea vessels and controlled transportation, and the moral level of these people was not necessarily higher than that of the previous scholars.

Merely...... The reason why Zhang Anshi supports them, in addition to the fact that Zhang Anshi himself has unparalleled interests in them, is because...... The scholars are outdated, they cannot adapt to the new social structure, or there is no place for them in this new social structure.

However, the latter can continue to grow the wealth of the world and accumulate a huge amount of wealth, so that the entire Ming Dynasty began to gallop towards a new road.

In fact, such things have nothing to do with morality.

This is just like the inventory of the population, the essence of this hidden household is the cake of the scholar class, every time a household is hidden, they can profit from it, so even if it is found out today, as long as there is no new policy, then over time, there will be new households hidden by them, thus falling into a vicious circle.

But for the nouveau riche and merchants, the more hidden households, the more good manpower means that a large number of good manpower has been bound to their land by various means by the scholars.

This huge population has become a vassal of the scholars, and it is really a tyrannical thing to have to engage in that kind of production activities with low output value.

And if such a huge population can be released, then it will definitely be a great thing for the businessmen to celebrate.

So, as long as the New Deal is still in place, and the nouveau riche and merchant classes are slowly beginning to grasp a certain amount of authority, then ...... will inevitably do everything possible to check the hidden households.

It can be seen that the contradiction between the two is almost irreconcilable!

And this kind of situation, Zhang Anshi knows very well, in fact, in the history of later generations, it can be said that it is not uncommon, just like the Glorious Revolution in Britain, or the Civil War in the United States, on the surface under the banner of religion and black slaves, but in fact, it is just a duel between the emerging workshop owners and the manor owners. When the contradictions accumulate to a certain level, the two sides cannot reconcile and have to solve the problem through war.

Although there is an irreconcilable contradiction between him and the scholars, and over the years, there are not a few scholars who have died directly or indirectly in the hands of Zhang Anshi, but Zhang Anshi still hopes to gradually complete this transition through a more peaceful way.

If not, it may be a bloody drain, and the ground will be thousands of miles away.

This is the last thing Zhang Anshi wants to see!

And Zhu Di obviously didn't think so far-reaching, but at this time, the mood was already very good, and at this time he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, and said: "The postal department has found out more than 10 million hidden households, and it is really terrifying to get such a good result!" Hu Qingjia, you are a successor. ”

Zhu Di said this to Hu Guang.

In fact, when Hu Guang heard that more than three million taels of silver in a month, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and his heart could finally fall.

In fact, even if the hidden household was found out, and even worshiped as Jiuqing, Hu Guang was still worried.

After all, the investigation of so many hidden households is tantamount to offending everyone in the world to death, but the vast majority of this credit, in the mind of His Majesty, is still remembered on Zhang Anshi, his stupid son, who was used as a gunman.

But when he heard such benefits, Hu Guang finally felt relieved!

Now that he has landed safely, he has a net profit of tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and with this, he knows that no matter how many people in the world will hate his son, His Majesty will definitely try his best to protect it.

As long as the country is still there, his son will never suffer.

Now, there is a successor to His Majesty's sentence, which made Hu Guang's heart bloom, and suddenly, the haze on his face has long been swept away, replaced by a happy smile, but he tried hard to put on a modest appearance and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is very ashamed, the dog is ......."

It's just that he didn't say any more, and was interrupted by Zhu Di: "Look, a son shouldn't be a dog, but you, the father, are right." ”

Hu Guang: "......"

His pile of emotions that were about to burst out of his mouth were suddenly blocked in his throat!

Hu Guang opened his mouth, determined to remain silent.

Zhu Di continued: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to be purged, and Wenyuan Pavilion will handle this matter." There are many negligences among the officials in the world, they are in cahoots with the local gentry and friends, and they dare to hide so many hidden households, they really deserve death! The matter ...... It is also necessary to investigate to the end, Wenyuan Pavilion, the Ministry of Officials, Dali Temple and even the factory guard...... We must severely arrest a group of people who have committed the most heinous crimes, and they must not be spared. ”

Zhu Di's words came out.

Yang Rong, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Your Majesty, at this time, the minister thinks that it is better to pursue too much, if not...... Fear ...... It will cause trouble within the walls. You may wish to make a decree, and as for the rest, I will talk about it later. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Rong.

He knew very well that Yang Rong and the gentry were not in cahoots, but in the court, as early as a few years ago, Yang Rong was one of the few bachelors in the court who supported the new policy.

Therefore, he adopted a lenient attitude towards the officials and gentry who committed crimes, and others did not dare to say it, for fear of making Zhu Di suspect that this person was complicit in it, but Yang Rong said it, and it would never arouse Zhu Di's suspicion.

Zhu Di didn't mean to be angry with Yang Rong, but said: "If you don't punish it severely, it will be difficult to eliminate this hatred, what do they want to do with thousands of people?" ”

Zhu Di sank his eyebrows and said: "If I appease, they will only be more unscrupulous, Yang Qing doesn't need to say anything." ”

After hearing this, Yang Rong had no choice but to shut up, his eyes were full of worry, and he could only sigh silently in his heart.

It was long enough to come out, and Zhu Di immediately drove back to the palace satisfied.

The scholars also returned to Wenyuan Pavilion.

At this time, the scholars were already preparing to implement Zhu Di's dictation and prepare to settle accounts after the autumn.

Yang Rong was worried, but Hu Guang was full of red light.

Seeing that Yang Rong didn't come to congratulate him, Hu Guang noticed some hidden worries, so he privately looked for Yang Rong and said, "Does Yang Gong have any heart problems?" ”

Yang Rong didn't hide it from him, and sighed: "It's just a little worried." ”

"Worried?" Hu Guang said: "Worried about Wu'er? ”

Yang Rong was a little speechless, but he still said patiently: "The old man is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and what he cares about is the people of the world, so why should Lang worry about the old man?" ”

Hu Guang had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and then said, "But I don't know what I'm worried about?" ”

Yang Rong said: "The way of government, need to control people's hearts at any time, this time the post department, the results have been revealed, not only deprived of so many hidden households, so that many people suffer from it, at this time, if Your Majesty adopts a tolerant attitude, temporarily stabilize the hearts of the people, do not pursue this, then the world will be peaceful, as for the accounting, that is a matter of the future, there is an opportunity." ”

"But when many people have suffered great damage, they suddenly shout and shout to kill, and they want to investigate their crimes of bullying, which makes many people suffer a series of blows, making them lose all their thoughts, Hu Gong, the old man comes to ask you, when you know that you have no way out, and you are going to destroy your family, what choice will you make?"

Hu Guang was in a hurry, and said, "You just destroyed the family...... You ......"

Yang Rong's face came down coldly, and he couldn't help but say, "The old man is asking you." ”

Only then did Hu Guang realize that he had lost his words, and he thought about it carefully before he said, "What do you mean...... Broken jars are broken. ”

Yang Rong stroked his beard, the worry in his eyes became more and more intense, and he sighed: "This is very likely. ”

Hu Guang thought about it seriously, and said, "But...... The officials and soldiers of the imperial court, how can they be presumptuous? ”

Yang Rong shook his head faintly and said: "Although the official army is brave, once the rebellion is quelled and the army is opened, it means that a lot of money and food will be lost!" A thousand traitors need 10,000 military horses to surround them and exterminate them, and if the world is full of smoke, not only will hundreds of people suffer greatly, but the officers and soldiers will also be exhausted. Over time, how much money and food does the court need to pay? What are the common people who suffered from the military disaster? ”

As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "Hey, Your Majesty is angry, and you can bleed and drift, but we are scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, but we can't be rash in everything, after all, we have to be very cautious." ”

Hu Guang frowned, and subconsciously said: "What Yang Gong said is not unreasonable, but Your Majesty is angry...... In my opinion, it is better to wait for some time before we speak. ”

Yang Rong bowed his head, knowing that there was no good way now, but he said: "I'm afraid that time waits for no one!" ”

Time flies, but a few days later, a report was sent to the capital as soon as possible.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the scholars were dumbfounded.

However, it was the message of the rebellion of the Fujian Political Envoy and the Guangxi Cheng Diplomatic Envoy.

In particular, the situation in Fujian is the most serious, because although it is only a local clan in Fujian that raises the flag of rebellion, it is said in the report that the people are vying to cling to each other and gather thousands of people.

Even among the political envoys, there were many officials who attached themselves to it.

These 10,000 people quickly broke through, no, to be precise, almost where the rebels passed, invincible, through the nine counties, there were five counties without blood, the remaining four counties, the local parents and officials held on, but two county towns were breached, and the remaining two counties were already in danger.

All of a sudden, people's hearts fluctuated.

For Yang Rong, a Fujianese, he was certainly worried, and what he was even more worried about was that he had actually been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the reaction would be so fast.

It can be seen that the news channels of the scholars are far faster than he imagined.

Now, due to the huge losses after the inventory of the hidden households, coupled with the fear that the imperial court may have to investigate, many people simply broke the jar and broke it.

As for the others, I'm afraid they are also sitting on the wall, and there are many people who are looking forward to seeing the jokes!

The psychology of many people is not necessarily the hope that they can destroy the Ming Dynasty, but ...... The bigger the rebel army is and the more anxious the court becomes, and the more anxious it becomes, then under this urgent pressure, it is inevitable that it will not blame the past for the various phenomena that have been investigated before, otherwise it may provoke more popular uprisings.

And this is obviously an undesirable thing for all the divisions in the world and the state capitals.

Because of this, Yang Rong is more worried about the situation that Tianxia Prefecture and County may not be active in counterinsurgency, and then, in terms of requisitioning food, recruiting people, and even rewarding the counterinsurgency army, it will inevitably be contrary to the yang and yin, which will greatly slow down the speed of counterinsurgency, and the longer the rebellion lasts, it means suffering for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hey......" After reading the report, Yang Rongchang sighed and said, "Let's go see the driver immediately." ”

He didn't say anything other than this sentence, and the scholars were also speechless at this time.

Everyone came to see Zhu Di and ascended to the throne, in fact, Zhu Di also knew the news of the rebellion.

He didn't show any gaffe, and even looked as usual. At this point, Zhu Di is not boasting, as an ancestor of rebellion, he doesn't think much of these small fights.

Therefore, do not wait for the scholars to speak.

Zhu Di smiled: "These traitors are really ridiculous, they didn't take advantage of the chaos to attack Fuzhou immediately, but they traveled hundreds of miles and plundered the counties, and they really didn't distinguish the severity. In addition, recruiting the people and sealing the official and making a wish, but only taking the official position of Wen Crepe is really a monkey and crowned......"

"Your Majesty......" Yang Rong stood up and said, "The traitor is certainly ignorant, but Your Majesty still has to be cautious. This traitor is raiding everywhere, and the people are suffering greatly, and if the fighter plane is delayed, it will be thousands of miles of red land, and rivers of blood will flow. The minister thinks that the top priority at the moment is to implement three strategies. ”

Then, he said with a straight face: "First, the world will be amnesty quickly." ”

"Second, to the traitors...... It is necessary to immediately recruit elite soldiers and strong generals to exterminate them. ”

"The third ......"

Speaking of this, someone reluctantly interrupted: "The minister thinks that this first article, the world's amnesty, is very inappropriate. ”

After this voice came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.

The monarchs and ministers looked in the direction of the voice, but it was Zhang Anshi who spoke.
