Chapter 175: The Prince's Southern Tour

"Mr. Jiyang, why haven't you even read the former Yuan Zhu Songting's "Four Yuan Jade Jian"?"

"What does Ji Xian say, Mr. Jiyang is a disciple of a saint, he only reads the classics, how can he read these miscellaneous books."

"Ji ......"

Before Ning Jue and Zou Wang's words fell, they found that He Qian had fainted.

"Forget it, let's take him down, why did Zou Yuanwai bring him here."

"I don't know, as soon as I arrived at the dock, the old man was waiting there, so I can't pretend I don't know."

Ning Jue casually threw He Qian's book aside.

"That's it, I summoned you here today, I still want to ask what kind of food price is in Xishan on weekdays, and I am ready to directly spread the land in Xishan."

Zou Wang was stunned when he heard this.

"Spread into acres? So fast? But those numbers ......"

"It is precisely because the price of food is not clear that I have brought you here."

"According to the price of grain this year, I have roughly calculated it, and six coins of silver is almost enough for the regular service in previous years."

Zou Wang and the others looked at each other, after all, these grain merchants themselves were also big landlords.

Whatever they add to it will be the money they will take out of their pockets in the future.

"Six coins of silver, whether it is enough or not, please dig out the bottom."

Zou Wang raised his head and looked at Ning Jue with a little embarrassment.

"Naturally, it's enough."

Hearing Zou Wang and the others' reply, Ning Jue was not in a hurry, and said casually: "Okay, then the acres of land in your family will be charged 12 yuan per mu. ”

"Don't!"

Zou Wang looked at Ning Jue with a wry smile.

"Yu Xian, what crime am I waiting for?!"

Ning Jue didn't bother to reason with Zou Wang.

"I'm happy without him."

"Say, don't you say?"

Zou Wang was a little flustered and said, "Bai Xian, what do you want us to say?!" ”

"Thirteen bucks."

"What do you mean?"

"Fourteen bucks."

"Can you still play like this? You're not fooling ......."

"One or two!"

"Don't add it! Why did this pay two dollars and two dollars to add. Zou Wang's tears were about to fall.

If others talked to him like this, Zou Wang would just smile casually and pass.

This is Ning Jue!

He will say that he will collect one or two acres of land, and tomorrow he will really take someone to raid the house.

When the time comes, I really asked the Zou family what to do if they wanted 300,000 taels of silver.

"Wise Advice! This autumn's grain price is indeed lower, but we are already trying our best to raise it, after the autumn harvest, the grain price directly from the township, at most, will rise to six coins of silver. ”

Ning Jue's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Zou Wang seriously.

"Is this true?"

"Seriously!"

"One acre and two taels!"

Zou Wang knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said continuously: "You Xian, you just asked ten times, he is this price, you want to see my family's accounts are completed, six dollars is six dollars, if you really follow two lessons per acre of land, our family can only hang ourselves at the gate of this county yamen!" ”

Seeing Zou Wang's appearance, Ning Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, that's the case, if you float up a little more, one ding and eight coins of silver should be enough, right?"

"Enough, absolutely enough!"

Zou Wang got up from the ground and sat on the chair that Ning Jue had prepared a long time ago.

"Then let's make an appointment according to this eight coins, Xishan has about 120,000 yuan, and the total is 960,000 yuan, that is, 60,000 taels of silver, and every two taels of fire consumption is 3,750 taels of silver, that is, a total of 63,750 taels of silver in Xishan."

"There are also 150,000 acres of land, and it is divided evenly regardless of whether it is good or bad, and every 100 acres of land is about 68 yuan of silver, that is, 4 taels and 4 yuan of silver."

Hearing this number, Rao is Zou Wang couldn't help but gasp.

One hundred acres of four taels and four dollars.

For the 300,000 mu of land alone, they need to pay 12,750 taels of silver this year, and even if they only pay for half a year, they will have to pay nearly 6,400 taels of silver.

"Zou Yuanwai's flesh hurts?"

"It's kind of ......"

"One out of every six acres of land in Xishan belongs to your family, and you still have a painful face?! Otherwise, don't pay this silver, I'll discuss it with Grandpa Mai. ”

Zou Wangdeng's eyes were anxious.

"Hello! It's a joke! I'm in pain, but I don't plan to rely on this money! ”

Ning Jue's words directly scared Zou Wang's cold sweat out.

These 300,000 acres of land, at least 270,000 mu, were all relied on by Zou Wang from those nobles.

McFuy if he blacks out Zou Wang.

Zou Wang could only chat with Lord Yama.

Ning Jue raised his head and looked at the grain merchants behind him and asked: "This number, I just roughly estimate it, and at that time, it will be determined according to the merits of the acres of land, there should still be some discrepancies, and I hope you Haihan." ”

"I'm waiting."

Everyone got up and gave up their hands, and the silver that Xishan spread into the acres was almost settled.

As these grain merchants returned to their homes, the news about Xishan's stalls also spread in this county.

Relying on those "nobles" and the grain merchants who have acres of land will naturally not have a second word.

But the gentlemen who "cultivated and read the heirloom" didn't think so, and as soon as they got the news, they began to show their magical powers across the sea with the eight immortals.

A letter to the family was sent to Jingshi at the fastest speed among the people, but all relatives and friends who could speak in the court were mobilized by these people.

——

Inside the West Garden.

There are already more than 20 account rooms and scribes in the palace.

The sound of the abacus beads coming and going.

Even Jiajing himself lay in front of the bookcase, frowning at the pages in front of him.

Behind Jiajing, Huang Jin was reading the transcript handed over by the Secretary of General Affairs.

“…… Jue, acting recklessly, did not ask the cabinet to implement the new law without permission, the crime is unforgivable, and he asked the Holy Son of Heaven to inquire. ”

Jiajing's mind didn't seem to be on those notebooks at all, and he just muttered in a low voice: "Is there anything else?" ”

"The emperor, they are all involved in Ning Ke's final unauthorized apportionment."

Huang Jin's voice fell.

Jiajing then lost his voice, and after muttering for a long time, Jiajing spoke: "Don't report it." ”

"Whoa."

"In addition, tell Xu Jie, Yan Song of the cabinet, that I am going to retreat for a while, and about the Xishan pilot, there is no need to report to me these days, and all of them will be sent to the prince for approval."

Huang Jin was stunned when he heard this.

"Huh? Here. ”

This is the first time Huang Jin has seen someone holding an abacus bead in retreat.

"Doesn't the prince have anything to say?"

Huang Jin lowered his head and said, "Emperor, it's gone." ”

"Oh, the prince wants to go to Nanjing, right?" Jiajing picked up a pair of abacus casually, and after a crisp sound, the abacus beads were all zeroed.

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head and said: "Yes, the prince has a performance, saying that he wants to go to Jinling to pay homage to the tomb of filial piety, but he forgot to take it." ”

"I'm thinking about his Ning Master."

"It's okay, since Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, there is no prince who has visited Xiaoling, and the prince is also old, and he has been crowned, so let Emperor Taizu Gao also take a look."

"Later, I will bring the prince's recital, and the honor guard will be as simple as possible, and ask Lu Binghu to protect the prince's southern tour, don't be the same as when I visited the south, there is no Tao Immortal Unknown Prophet by the prince's side."

For Zhu Zaili, Jiajing didn't have so many worries.

Lu Bing's support is only one of the reasons, the main reason is that Jiajing doesn't have to worry about someone supporting the crown prince at all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prince is much more radical than Jiajing, and Jiajing knows how to measure.

As for assassination.

Jiajing can protect it for a while, but it can't protect it for a lifetime after all.

There are some things that you can't learn to sit on this throne.

Huang Jin bowed slightly, and then said, "The minister can save it." ”

Jiajing sat on the dragon chair, his eyes closed slightly, and Huang Jin also withdrew from the palace with acquaintance.

Before Huang Jin withdrew from the palace, Jiajing's voice sounded again.

"By the way, what's the name of the two beside the prince?"

Huang Jin bowed his head and said: "Emperor, Zhang Juzheng Zhang waiter speaks, and Gao Gong Gao waiter speaks." ”

"Zhang Juzheng is acting Meng Lang, a little less polished, leave the high arch to listen to it, when you need to use people, I can't find no one."

"Whoa."

——

Qingning Palace.

Hearing the news from Huang Jin's mouth, Zhu Zaili couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Highness, it's okay to talk about it, Yuan Shi said that he was called by the minister to be the celebrant supervisor."

Only then did Zhu Zaili speak: "Does my father have a will?" Is it just a lonely southern tour? ”

Huang Jin bowed his head and said, "Not at the moment." ”

Zhang Juzhengjing bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty means to let Zhang accompany His Royal Highness on his southern tour, and Su Qing will stay in Beijing to listen to it?" ”

Gao Gong said a little indignantly: "I'm the only one who wants to go to Jiangnan, but I'm going to leave me?" ”

Huang Jin smiled awkwardly.

"It was the high waiter who was named by the emperor to speak, and the senior waiter said that he had a meritorious role in quelling the riots in Beijing, I think His Majesty remembered what the high waiter said, and after some time, His Majesty may also summon those businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River to the Beijing Division, and I am afraid that the high waiter will be busy before and after."

When Gao Gong heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

Huang Jin saw that he was in Qingning Palace, and it was not so convenient for the three of them to speak, so after respectfully taking the book from Zhu Zaili's hand, he bowed and said: "Yuan Shi said that he would not be able to come back for a while and a half, and asked His Royal Highness to be relieved, and the minister retired." ”

"Father-in-law Huang walks slowly."

After Zhang Juzheng sent Huang Jin away, he returned to the palace, and Zhu Zaili immediately asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, have you forgotten why Your Highness asked His Highness to preside over the change after the Temple of Heaven Mutiny that day?"

"It's time too."

Gao Gong also thought deeply, bowed his head and said: "The reason why Your Majesty has given power to Your Highness is to let Your Highness let go of his hands and feet and go to Jiangnan to do a big job, or that His Majesty feels that a Ning Ke finally made a disturbance is not enough, and he needs to send you to make a fuss with him, but it's a pity that Gao can't accompany His Highness on a southern tour." ”

"That's right!"

Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Zaili excitedly.

Obviously, the two young people are already full of expectations for this trip to Jiangnan.

"It's good to go to Jiangnan to have a look, some time ago, the master of ceremonies also sent a notebook, and Master Ning actually learned to do it."

"I heard that he is still beating a great Confucian, what kind of tiger's den Longtan is in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the polite and polite Ning Shi was forced to become like this."

It was also during this period when the transcript of the impeachment of Ning Jue was delivered to Jingshi.

The first time that Xishan was spread into acres was officially opened.

After all, the gentry who can get the news are a minority, and the vast majority of small and medium-sized landlords did not find out that they were going to be divided into acres this year until they came to the county government with their silver.
