Imperial City, Thousand Steps Corridor.

The six yamen are here.

At this time, within the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites gathered in the main hall of the Yamen, and everyone's faces looked ugly, as if they had eaten arsenic and were waiting for death.

The news of Zheng Yi's deposition by the emperor last night has spread.

According to Lao Zhu's habits, if the helm of a yamen is deposed, then there is a high probability that the other officials of this yamen will not have good fruit to eat, and they will be liquidated more or less.

Demotion and release, this is considered light, for fear that my life will be gone.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Guan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as for the left attendant, after hearing the news of Zheng Yi's dismissal last night, he complained of illness overnight, saying that both legs were lame.

Huang Guan, who was watched by everyone, looked calm and calm.

From the age of twenty-seven to the age of thirty-four, it has been seven years to become a high-ranking official in a scarlet robe.

Ordinary people will think that such a young person in a high position must be proud of the spring breeze and proud.

In fact, Huang Guan sat in his seat, always maintaining a humble smile on his face, but the depths of his eyes revealed firmness and rigor that ordinary people do not have.

He is rigorous in his studies, pays attention to current theories, and does not still have superficial texts, which is the evaluation given to him by history.

"When you are on duty, please abide by your duties."

Huang Guan said in a condensed voice.

He didn't gather these people, they all took the initiative to gather in the main hall of the yamen.

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch Xiaobao, who ran to the third place today, led the proclamation team into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites in the yamen were all stunned, their faces were like ashes, and they even thought about what to use for the coffin board and where to bury it.

"The prison decree has arrived."

As soon as Xiaobao's voice came out, all the officials knelt together, and Huang Guan was at the front.

"Promotion, Huang Guan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his wife Weng is the wife of the First Order."

"Chin this."

After the decree was announced, Xiaobao handed the decree to Huang Guan, who was kneeling on the ground, and without waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to react, he turned around and left in a hurry.

I thought I could finally go to Guozijian!

I love to learn, and learning makes me happy!

After the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette reacted, they found that they had not been affected, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Huang Guan and became hot.

The new boss naturally wanted to stutter, and someone hurriedly stepped forward to support Huang Guan, who was about to stand up.

And Huang Guan, who is the party concerned, frowned, and the future person gently pushed away, he was only thirty-four years old, and he still had to get up?

Moreover, the two hairs that came to help him were gray.

For the promotion, Huang Guan was naturally happy, but he still had no arrogance, and glanced at the officials behind him.

"Gentlemen, each according to his duties."

This time, the officials did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all said, 'The lower officials obey the order', and quickly returned to their respective classes.

Huang Guan returned to his class room, frowning slightly.

He frowned because of his wife.

Promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, then his official position is the second grade, but the lady is the first rank of the lady.

Such a thing has never been seen in eternity.

After thinking about it, Huang Guan wrote a thank-you table with a smile, and then got up and left the yamen.

According to the etiquette system, he had to go to the Taisun Mansion to thank him.

Meanwhile.

Inside the yamen of the household department.

Xia Yuanji, who didn't go home last night, was frowning and looking at the official documents with snowflakes on the table, these are the financial situation of the various political departments across the country.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

The political departments in various localities have financial losses to varying degrees.

In the past, Xia Yuanji was only responsible for Zhejiang's finances, but now he has been promoted to second-in-command, and Yu Xin has completely delegated power to him, so he can naturally see the financial situation of the whole country.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the war raged, the people were struggling to make a living, the displaced people fled everywhere, and the economy collapsed.

The Ming Dynasty was established on such a basis.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the heavy agricultural plot in Lao Zhu's bones, the tax on farmers was extremely low.

However, everything has changed since the fifteenth year of Hongwu.

Xia Yuanji looked at the finances over the years, and since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, various disasters have begun to occur frequently throughout the country, and the frequency has increased year by year, which has directly led to a sharp decrease in treasury revenue.

In the current thirty-first year of Hongwu, it is even more stretched.

And judging from the drought and heavy snow at the beginning of the year, this year should not be a good year.

Xia Yuanji frowned, as the chief steward of the Ming treasury, the core task is to increase revenue for the treasury.

Raising agricultural taxes?

This method is not advisable.

Natural disasters are frequent, and it is not easy for farmers to survive.

This practice is only self-severing, which can solve a temporary crisis, but cannot solve the sorrow of a lifetime.

Think for a moment.

Xia Yuanji mentioned the pen and ink before the case, and wrote a word on the blank fold.

'Shang'.

Lao Zhu's national policy was to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and suppressed businessmen very harshly, and the share of industrial and commercial taxes in the early Ming Dynasty was extremely low.

Xia Yuanji dared to think in this direction, and he was really bold.

If Old Zhu Nian knew that he dared to extend his thoughts in this direction when he was in his prime, there was a high probability that he would be dragged out and cut in half.

……………………

Taisun Mansion, in front of the house gate.

Two two-horse-drawn luxury carriages, one left and one right, arrived in front of the mansion gate, and even the royal sword guards guarding the mansion gate saw this carriage and stood up one after another.

Xu Huizu stepped down from the carriage on the left, and Li Jinglong stepped on the right.

The two got out of the car at the same time, looked at each other, and were slightly stunned, obviously not expecting to meet each other here.

Because of this army rectification, Li Jinglong was left aside, so the relationship between the two was a little stiff.

The main reason is that Li Jinglong is unhappy, Xu Huizu doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Li Jinglong, after all, both of them are the governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and they are both the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and they also robbed the bride of the old Wang family together when they were young.

Their father, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong under Lao Zhu back then, were all famous generals in the world, so Lao Zhu also placed great hopes on the two of them, and their official positions soared all the way.

"Why are you here?"

Li Jinglong was the first to ask.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has a summons, and he should ask me about the three major battalions of the entire army."

Xu Huizu said noncommittally, in fact, he wasn't sure what it was.

It may be a matter of the whole army, or it may be the marriage of a little sister.

"Hehe, then I have to congratulate Governor Xu in advance, now he is not only the head of the five military governors, but also the future uncle of His Royal Highness Taisun, I just don't know if when His Royal Highness Taisun ascends the throne, will the old system be restored to set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and directly give your eldest brother a metropolitan governor."

Li Jinglong's words were tingling, and Xu Huizu, who heard this, frowned, and subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand.

This action made Li Jinglong frown instantly.

He stared at the Yanling saber in Xu Huizu's hand, obviously this knife was deliberately brought.

Xu Huizu also looked at the knife in his hand and smiled coldly.

If he didn't know the reason why His Royal Highness Taisun asked him to bring a knife before, he may know now.

Hack you yin and yang lemon essence.
