Zhu Qiyu was still very proud in his heart, and the fields and ponds where grain and grass were collected not only recovered to the level of the Hongwu Dynasty, but also slightly exceeded a little bit. Moreover, the total amount of taxes paid to the two capitals and 13 provinces has also been reduced by 10%.

In this way, there are more fields to pay taxes, but the total amount of tax revenue is reduced, and the burden on ordinary people should be reduced a lot.

The people of the world, if they have a little conscience, they have to be more or less grateful.

However, Zhu Qiyu is just looking forward to it, not serious, and the people's heart is a very mysterious thing. The two sides have to look at each other, and if they don't see each other, they will hate each other.

As for how to look at the right eye, I don't know. Anyway, Renxuan is a prosperous age, the gentry and the people like this tune, Jingtai Dynasty, only suitable for lonely self-appreciation.

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more bored he became, and he was ready to get up and go home.

Shen Yi had just started and was talking energetically, when he saw that the emperor seemed to want to get up and leave, his face couldn't help but change.

Zhu Qiyu is not useless in playing with women every day, this ability to observe faces and looks is extremely strong, so that he felt Shen Yi's loss in an instant, and then immediately sat upright on the dragon chair and motioned for Shen Yi to continue.

Shen Yi continued: "In addition to the two capitals and 13 provinces, the provinces newly subjugated by the Jingtai Dynasty have 1.56 million hectares of grain fields in Japan, including 500,000 hectares of official fields.

The DPRK has 830,000 hectares of grain fields, including 210,000 hectares of official fields.

Annam and Champa have a total of 3.3 million hectares of grain fields, of which 670,000 hectares are official fields.

Myanmar has 2.4 million hectares of grain fields, including 400,000 hectares of official fields.

Siam's grain fields are 1.87 million hectares, of which 320,000 hectares are official fields.

The rest of the Lancang, Luzon, Taiwan and other places add up to more than 1.5 million hectares, most of which are official fields, about 1.15 million hectares. Places such as Luzon and Taiwan are far from being reclaimed, so the statistics are inaccurate.

The newly occupied territory of the Jingtai Dynasty totaled more than 11.48 million hectares of grain fields. ”

As soon as these words came out, the order in the hall could no longer be maintained, and the ministers discussed it enthusiastically. How did you get so much land out quietly.

Although the ministers are all extremely smart people, their knowledge cannot be compared with Zhu Qiyu after all. The Red River Delta and the Mekong River Delta in Annam and Champa are world-class granaries. With more than 3 million hectares of land, it is still far from being fully developed, and there is still huge potential in the future.

Myanmar and Siam also have huge plains, which require great effort.

In short, the newly occupied southern provinces of the Jingtai Dynasty must have more than 10 million hectares of land, and if they are well managed, they are not afraid of any Xiaoice River period at all.

The ministers did not have such a vision, and only felt that more than 10 million hectares was a bit scary: the original two capitals and 13 provinces had more than 8 million hectares; The newly occupied territory of the Jingtai Dynasty was more than 11 million hectares, and the sum of them was not 20 million hectares.

In this way, the arable land is doubled; doubling the amount of grain and grass collected each year; Combined with Japan's minerals, the imperial court's annual income was nearly tripled.

This merit is a bit too big, as long as the emperor is not like Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he has to give it to a Shizong.

What the ministers didn't know was that the emperor wanted to be the ancestor, which is a later story.

Shen Yi continued: "After this population inventory, the original two capitals and 13 provinces have a total population of more than 67.49 million; The newly occupied territory of the Jingtai Dynasty had a total population of more than 26.7 million.

The total population of the world is 94.2 million. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, because the poll tax has been exempted, and the conscription has also been exempted, and the gentry and powerful have no incentive to hide the population, so the population has increased.

The apportionment into the mu has been completed unconsciously, and in the future, it will be taxed according to the land. There are 100 acres of land here, and I will collect taxes on 100 acres. It doesn't matter whether the 100 acres of land are owned by 10 families or by 1 family.

Anyway, I'll collect taxes on this 100 acres of land.

Such good statistics, no matter what, people can run, but the ground can't.

As for conscription, it is no longer compulsory. Now that the imperial court has such a high income, it needs labor, so pay for the people.

Daming lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of labor. As long as they are willing to pay, some people are willing to work.

In this way, it can also take the opportunity to send the coins minted by the imperial court to the people.

After the silver coins and copper coins circulated throughout the country and the supply was sufficient, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were completely stabilized.

The reform of coinage, the abolition of treasure money, the minting of silver coins, and the issuance of copper coins are the first achievements of Jingtai Dynasty's internal affairs, and they must be written in the official history in the future.

Zhu Qiyu waited for Shen Yi to finish speaking, praised the cabinet and the six ministries from the beginning, and promised them up and down, and then prepared to leave: "There is nothing big going on next year, after fighting for several years, let's recuperate."

Take care of it, and let the people take care of it.

Next, you can talk to the prince, I have something to do when I go back. ”

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly blocked it. The emperor is so easy to participate in a court meeting, everyone is easy to meet, where can he let it go like this.

Zhu Qiyu was a little scared, and he didn't know what problems the ministers were going to give themselves. Fortunately, the ministers just stood up in turn and chatted with the emperor about the government affairs of the past year, and some of the meaning of debriefing and merit was in it.

Zhu Qiyu smiled, nodded and praised while listening.

After tossing for more than an hour, it was easy to finish serving these officials.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and smiled at Shen Yi: "I have been the emperor for ten years, it has not been easy for me in these ten years, and it is not easy for you either." Based on your salary this year, starting next year, all civil and military officials will have their salaries increased by 50%. ”

Hearing this, the officials were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Okay, you can talk to the prince, I'll go home and rest." ”

In the congratulatory voice of the hundred officials, Zhu Qiyu left the Qingyun Hall and returned to the Lingyu Palace.

As soon as he walked into the Hehuan Palace, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly fell down and fell on the couch on all fours.

Lin Xiangyu was also taken aback: "For the New Year, the ministers don't have their eyes open, right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "No, it's the New Year, hello, I'm good, everyone." I don't expose the shortcomings of the ministers, and the ministers don't expose my shortcomings, now there is really harmony between the monarchs and ministers, and they can't quarrel if they want to. ”

Lin Xiangyu praised when she heard this: "When my husband first ascended the throne ten years ago, I really didn't expect that there would be such a day, and I couldn't find an opponent if I wanted to fight, no wonder you didn't want to be the emperor anymore, it was really boring." ”

Zhu Qiyu echoed: "That's true. Whoever dares to rebel in the locality, I will send my own army to slaughter them, and those gentry and heroes also think that this rebellion is not interesting. The nationwide resistance cannot be organized, and the rebellion in one or two provinces will not be able to resist our pro-army at all.

Whoever dares to rebel, first raze the three clans, and then punish the nine clans, leaving only the young woman and sending it to the Jiaofang Division. Let the first evil watch him see his three clans being razed, the nine clans being destroyed, and the young woman being killed by that, and then he will be killed.

That's deterrence.

This is the end of local rebellion, and it is even better to rebel in the capital.

All the troops and factory guards in the capital are firmly under my control, and whoever is impatient will definitely give him a ride. ”

While the two were talking, Qianxue and Suxi walked in hand in hand.

Zhu Qiyu asked very gently, "Is His Royal Highness the King of Xiao Jin asleep?" ”

Su Xi said with a smile: "King Xiao Jin has just finished feeding and has fallen asleep, do you want to continue eating, he eats the left, you eat the right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu immediately came to his senses: "Okay, well, eat on both sides, so that one side will not be big and the other side small." Come, come, come, lie down beside me. ”

Su Xi obediently lay on the bed, with a posture of letting you pick up.

The original Taizu King of Jin has been abolished, Su Xi gave birth to a son, according to what he had said a long time ago, Zhu Qiyu immediately named the little prince as the King of Jin. Now it is the King of Wu who is shallow snow and the King of Chu who is condensing incense, and then it is complete.

sighed in his heart, but his hands were flowing smoothly, and the light yarn was peeling off layer by layer, and Zhu Qiyu checked it from head to toe again: "It's so good, there is no fat up and down, if you don't know, who can see that Xi'er has given birth."

And it's as white as pixel-fired porcelain, it's been ten years, and I don't get tired of playing with it. ”

Su Xi blushed and smiled: "With a child, the slave family is now a woman." ”

"Mmmmmmmmmm Hey, before I knew it, I had become a thief. Hating Cao Thief, understanding Cao Thief, appreciating Cao Thief, and becoming Cao Thief, this is my mental journey. ”

Several little women were happy when they heard this, it is a good thing to like little young women, and what they are most afraid of is that their husbands want to taste fresh little girls.

Qianxue also took the initiative to take off her clothes and lay down side by side with Su Xi: "Next year, it will be time for the slave family to give birth, and the husband has to give priority to Yu Xue'er today." ”

Zhu Qiyu is as good as flowing: "Okay, okay, no problem." One of you sisters has been born and the other has not been born, and now you are lying side by side and you are still exactly the same, so it's really hard to tell the difference. It's going to be a lot of action, so you have to remind me who is who, don't make a mistake. ”

……

After a few days of nothing, I came to the eleventh year of Jingtai, the first day of the first month.

In the Zhengdan Dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials came to Qingyun Hall early to congratulate the emperor and the crown prince.

Zhu Qiyu originally planned to sleep lazily and let the prince accept the court alone, but he didn't expect the ministers to be unrelenting, so he could only be forced to come out and show his face.

Then the wife congratulated the queen mother and the imperial concubine.

Although the Queen Mother had notified in advance to exempt the women from the court, all the women in Beijing still came.

After worshipping the Queen Mother, the wives insisted on congratulating the imperial concubines.

The five imperial concubines of Lingyu Palace had to dress neatly and come to Changle Palace together.

Lin Xiangyu teased as she walked: "These women, you have to congratulate us on what to do." It's been ten years, why did you suddenly remember that we are the imperial concubines this year, what did you do earlier. ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "Last year, the husband killed too ruthlessly, from the nobles to the gentry, and he was bloody." That's not all, the young women of their family were all sent to the Workshop Division.

If these women are no longer interested, it will be their turn to teach the workshop division this year.

So although they don't look down on us in their hearts, they still have to kowtow to our sisters obediently. ”

Lin Xiangyu shook her head: "These sisters are really dull enough, how many princes have our sisters had, and their status has long been so stable that they can't be more stable, it took them a whole decade to distinguish between big heads and small eyes, which is really weird." ”

The five of them came to Changle Palace, entered the main hall, asked the Queen Mother for peace, and sat down in turn.

The women stood according to their ranks, knelt down and kowtowed together.

One bow was not suitable, and the women bowed to the imperial concubines three times.

The five sisters Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang responded coldly, and after just a few words, they picked up the teacup.

The heart of the narrow heart protruded, and Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang touched each other with the teacup, looking like they wanted to toast.

Empress Dowager Wu sat on the top, her heart was like a mirror, but she didn't say a word.

Seeing that the imperial concubines had all picked up their teacups to send off the guests, it was not good to stay long, so she could only bow and withdraw.

When everyone left, Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang both stood up and asked the Queen Mother for the little willfulness just now.

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and waved her hand: "Forget it, these women don't say bad things about you, you are generous enough, what a crime."

When I was a concubine, I was really wronged, so I can understand you.

If it were to say that back then, I would have been scolded much worse than you.

At least you have a good husband, and someone dares to scold you, he really dares to kill for you, until everyone relents.

I am such a person as Xuanmiao, in his heart, I may not be comparable to a piece of golden lump. ”

When the women heard this, they hurriedly flattered.

Empress Dowager Wu laughed at herself before changing the subject: "You gave birth to several last year, do you want to give birth this year?" I'm so in a hurry, I don't even recognize these grandchildren. ”

Ning Xiang replied: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, this year, next year, our sisters' rebirth will be completely over." Now I haven't given birth to Xue'er yet, my husband said, Xue'er will be born this year, and I will be born next year.

After I give birth, even if it is over, all my sisters will not give birth in the future, and they will live in peace. ”

Empress Dowager Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and she was finally about to be relieved. Ordinary people's old ladies are looking forward to the more daughters-in-law they have, the better. But her own son and daughter-in-law are too capable of giving birth, and Empress Dowager Wu is really scared.

Not long after, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Wenfang also came to Changle Palace after accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials.

At noon, a large family and dozens of people gathered together for a reunion dinner.

In the main hall, five long tables were put together into one, and nearly fifty people sat full.

In this situation, Zhu Qiyu was also full of emotion. One is that people are thriving, and they are getting tougher and tougher. When he first ascended the throne, there was only one man in the family, and everything outside relied on one person to grit his teeth.

Now, there are many talents, and the princes born in the second year of Taitai can go out to top it.

The reason why the ministers and wives have become more humble than the other has a lot to do with the growth of these princes.

I can't imagine how powerful my Jingtai family will be when these princes come of age one after another.

Again, the family is really harmonious, fifteen concubines, little thirty children, no one fights among themselves. This level of governance really has a fight with Taizu.

Zhu Qiyu was proud in his heart, but he heard Han Wang suddenly ask: "Daddy, have you done anything lacking in virtue recently?" ”

Angry, Zhu Qiyu snatched a silk handkerchief from Lin Xiangyu's hand, grouped it, and smashed it on King Han: "You kid, how can you talk, it looks like I'm doing things that lack virtue all day long." ”

King Han smiled: "No, no, I mean, for the Chinese New Year, you won't let me go to Jingling again to ask the Emperor of the Wise Shenwu Xuanmiao to plead guilty, right?" If you have committed any new crimes, please tell me in advance, and I should be prepared, or I will arrange to play with my brothers. ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are talking about this, I am wrong to blame you, and you are right to take precautions." Feng'er, Ningxiang, I haven't committed any crimes recently, have I? ”

Lin Xiangyu pretended to be serious and replied: "Husband, it's not right for you to say that, the Emperor Xuanmiao is wise and martial, and the three Yang auxiliary political ministers are virtuous ministers, and they manage Shanxi as solid as a golden tree, and the government is harmonious.

Not only did you deny the achievements of Xuanmiao and Sanyang in governing Shanxi, but you also rushed up to kill them, and you dare to say that you are not guilty? ”

Without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to speak, King Han sighed: "Hey, what the mother concubine said is very true, the day after tomorrow, this king will go to Jingling to make amends to Xuanmiao." ”
