Chengdu Mansion.

The construction of the Shu Wangfu has been completed, which took seven years.

Dacheng occupies the most prosperous part of the whole Chengdu city, including the ancient city of Chengdu in the Song Dynasty, its Wuer Temple is the most grand, the Confucian Temple is naturally a tribute courtyard, among which there is a Confucian Temple, the Wu Temple is a martial arts hall, which is about the emperor and the statue of Yue Wumu.

Fang Xiaoru, who has been here for five years, is teaching the children of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Zhu Chun.

The King of Shu is not only studious, but also extremely strict with Professor Shizi.

Even when Shizi was only three years old, he had already begun to learn enlightenment books.

After the lecture, Fang Xiaoru was called to the mansion by His Royal Highness the King of Shu to discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Shu the recent news from the Nanjing Imperial Court, His Royal Highness Zhu Biao, the son of the Great Tomorrow, was about to send lieutenants to participate in the verification of the accounts of the Ming Royal Bank in various places.

This account, in fact, is the tax revenue.

In recent years, although a whip law has not been proposed, but in fact the local is gradually promoting the function of the Ming Royal Bank to undertake the collection of taxes, the people can convert the physical taxes they want to pay into money and grain, or they can take it to the Ming Royal Bank to sell it to pay, because the Ming Royal Bank and the Ming Dynasty all over the world post station is one, and the post station business travel is endless, and the money, grain, rice, silk, etc., are transported to various places to sell.

This has greatly promoted the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty today.

After this period of time, dealing with the Qinghai-Tibetan Buddha heads everywhere in Shu, and preparing for the civil and military examinations, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, has grown a lot, he held the holy decree from Nanjing, paced back and forth in the mansion, and said: "Mr. Fang, in my opinion, the imperial court is going to attack the nobles." ”

There was a bit of gloom in his tone.

In fact, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the court wants to move the nobles.

As mentioned earlier, the Daming Royal Bank and the post station are one.

Eighty percent of the post station households were retired veterans from the hands of the leaders of the noble army, and the other 20 percent were hereditary station households before the Great Yuan.

So, the post station and the bank, these two places are easy for nobles to put their hands in.

This is no longer the case.

Fang Xiaoru already knew that there was today, and said: "Lord, this is the general trend, the Son of Heaven sent the lieutenant officials, the Taixue Guozi Supervisor, as well as the lecture hall, the household department, and the officials formed an investigation team to monitor each other and verify the tax bureau of the world, this is the Son of Heaven in the inventory of moths, and now the Ming Royal Bank is very corroded, take our Shu as an example, if the post stations, banks, and generals with troops around the country do not get up and down their hands, embezzle, it is difficult to raise soldiers. ”

"There is another one, a person who has won the Tao chicken dog ascends to heaven, such as Jingchuan Hou, he is a general, guarding one side, close relatives and distant neighbors have defected, either in the post station as a post officer, or in the bank to hold an important position, and they are all border guards, this is a helpless thing."

The King of Shu nodded.

In fact, the land of Sichuan and Shu is very "rich".

The definition of this wealth lies in the fact that a large amount of wealth is concentrated in the hands of the Buddha head in the surrounding Qinghai-Tibet region, in recent years, the king of Shu has made a lot of noise in this place, and there are many Sichuan-Tibetan Tusi heads and the sons of the Buddha in the Wutang and Gongyuan, at this time the living Buddha is not reincarnated in the golden bottle in Zhu Xiongying's time and space, some Buddha head families are hereditary, and under the influence of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the secret art of pushing butterflies is very popular, so there are many illegitimate children, and these people are naturally the Wenwu Temple here in Chengdu.

Interestingly, most of the children of the Tusi Tou people like to go to the Confucian Temple to learn literature.

And most of the disciples of the Buddha's head family like to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts.

This is because the Tusi head inherits the primogeniture, and in some places it is inherited by the female head, and they are very envious of the officials and civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, who have status and status, learn culture well, can hold money in the Ming Royal Bank, and have an entourage in and out, and their status has been improved.

The children of the Buddha head family have to do penance in the temple since they were young, and they admire the warriors very much, ride horses and gallop, and lead the army to make meritorious contributions in various places.

These large numbers of aristocratic children in the Sichuan-Tibet region entered the officialdom reserve talent base of the Ming Dynasty, which greatly promoted the development of the Ming Imperial Bank and maintained the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Some Buddha-headed disciples, walking around preaching, will deposit money in the Daming Royal Bank, only need to hold the flying ticket, that is, the passbook, you can be at will in the Daming Royal Bank at will.

In the Sichuan and Shu regions, after the slaughter of the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the population of 10 million was sharply reduced to less than 1 million, and it took only five years to burst out with great firepower.

You must know that at this time, the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Jiangxi were all major provinces with large population and taxation in the Ming Dynasty.

The land of abundance is worthy of its name.

"I'm worried that this matter will affect the return of Sichuan and Tibet, and the rest is good to say, mainly because there are many state-owned silver mines in Sichuan and Shu, and our Chengdu Mint Bureau has also begun to try to mint Daming silver coins, Mr. Fang, you also know that the state-owned silver mines and copper mines in various places have been extended into the nobles, the silver mines in Yunnan, eighty percent are in the hands of the Mu family, and the silver mines in Sichuan and Shu are sixty percent in the hands of the Tusi Buddha head, and three percent are in the hands of the nobles stationed in the guard, and the remaining one percent is the imperial court."

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, he was already a father, and he was no longer the Shu Xiucai who only knew how to read and be a corporal.

In particular, I was frightened by the affluence of the monks of Daci Temple in Chengdu Prefecture.

Daci Temple, a great temple that flourished in the Tang Dynasty, the monks in the temple were frightened by Zhu Xiongying's dispatch of Zheng Heyi five years ago, and actually bought six million taels of silver, that is, 12 million silver dollars in national bonds!

What kind of concept is that......

At that time, the entire Chengdu government collected less than three million taels of silver and less than six million silver dollars in a year.

He explored in detail later, which really opened his eyes.

During the Yuan Dynasty, monks could keep slaves, raise singers, troupes, and openly open pawnshops, grain villages, and cloth villages.

Daci Temple was the largest temple in Shu at that time, naturally it was very rich, and the repeated wars did not affect them, hundreds of years of accumulation, naturally rich.

Not only do they do this, the landlords of Zigong Yanjing, but also the temple monks in various places.

The more troubled the times, or the last days, the more wealthy the monks in these temples become, because there are many people who rely on compliments, and the wealth has been accumulated over hundreds of years, and the people who buy national bonds are still a dime, and there are many believers here.

For example, now, the Ming Dynasty will build Sichuan and Shu very well.

Those good men and women felt that it was the role of the Bodhisattva, and the incense of the Daci Temple was a lot more vigorous, which provoked Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to be a little unhappy, and began to rectify the temple monks to encroach on the property, knocking on this group of monks, these monks also knew the interest, and immediately ordered people to carry a lot of silver dollars to deposit in the Ming Royal Bank, and also bought more treasury bonds, expressing their love for Daming.

Fang Xiaoru said: "The matter of the state-owned silver mine, there are not many nests, what I am worried about is that our southwest tea and horse trading road camel team, here many guards thousands of households and noble generals, secretly set up a horse team to sell official salt, sell Shu embroidery, and formed an atmosphere, if it moves, will it cause turmoil in the local health center?" ”

The King of Shu shook his head and gritted his teeth to indicate that he didn't know.

At this time, Xu Qi, who came to Chengdu Mansion and served as the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily Chengdu, came to Shi Shi.

He saluted to the King of Shu, and saw Fang Xiaoru again, so he sat down and discussed together.

Xu Qi, as Zhang Shicheng's old people, has completely become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, and is still urging many of Zhang Shicheng's former staff officials to go out of the mountains, especially the literati in the reclusive Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, to come to Shuzhong to work for the Ming Dynasty.

Even Nanzhili Zuo Cheng Zhang Qi, that is, when the Ming Dynasty conquered Zhang Shicheng, opened the city gate and surrendered, Zhu Yuanzhang called the first hero of the Ming Dynasty, this old guy, also couldn't bear it, from Jiangyin with his wife and children, to Chengdu Mansion as an official, served as an edict here, taught and educated people, and lectured for the Chengdu Mansion Gongyuan and the martial arts hall, he can be literary and martial, and taught a large number of students here.

Hearing His Royal Highness's worries, Xu Qi touched his chin and beard, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu doesn't have to worry. ”

"It's not difficult to say this, it's easy to say."

"The local health offices can be transferred on a regular basis, once every three years, and the Nanjing Imperial Court also has an order to check the taxes of banks and local departments, not blindly and arbitrarily, to seek truth from facts and adapt measures to local conditions, we can seize the time to play."

"In addition, the military generals who have a relationship with them will be summoned to Chengdu to report on their work, waiting for the opportunity to take it, and my Ming officials will report on their work every year, why is it difficult?"

Xu Qi has 10,000 books in his house, and 10,000 scrolls are even more famous in ancient and modern times, and he himself has served as a general of the guard, so he knows these things.

Fang Xiaoru and King Shu were both a little bookish, and they didn't know how to start for a long time, and as soon as Xu Qi said, their eyes lit up.

That's right......
