The rise of the poor

Chapter 422
The ministers in the hall were still arguing about whether it should be more relaxed or stricter, but Emperor Jiajing, sitting on the dragon chair, turned a blind eye and flipped through the books in his hand, looking for the sentences quoted in the ministers' debate just now.

Huang Jin, who was waiting by the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the Holy Majesty's anger gradually dissipated.

Soon Emperor Jiajing read the passage that the ministers had just quoted. After reading it, he pursed his lips in disdain, then closed the book, and watched the ministers arguing with great interest.

It's good to fight, if you don't fight, how can I control you.

Under the watchful eyes of Emperor Jiajing, these ministers were even more bloody, blushing and thick-necked, citing various supporting materials for the strict prohibition or relaxation of the ban they advocated.

"Nowadays, whether we are troubled by the frontier or the Japanese rebellion, and recently the unruly people in Shandong and other places gathered together to rebel, the reason is actually related to the word "money". Without money, the frontier army's food and logistics are tight, and they cannot resist Mongolia. I answer: without money, the coastal defenses are tense, and the Japanese pirates cannot be wiped out; without money, in times of floods, droughts and locust disasters, there is no way to relieve disasters... If I have plenty of money and food in the dynasty, and suffer from Japanese rebellion and other minor diseases such as scabies, I am wise on the Holy One Under the leadership, the world will be peaceful." An official in Yan Song's camp said loudly.

"What do you think?" An official answered Li Mo's side.

"Reopening the city ship, the official tax system."

The official from Yan Song's camp said categorically, and then became more and more excited as he talked, "The tax system revenue is twice that of other systems. As far as the Southern Song Dynasty is concerned, the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner, and the fertile land in the north was occupied by Hulu. But why did the Southern Song Dynasty It can last for more than a hundred years, because the city ship created a lot of taxes and blood transfusions in the Southern Song Dynasty. As far as I know, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the two cities of Fujian and Guangzhou alone earned 200 million yuan in interest every year. If all The entry of Shibo will earn tens of millions of income per year. The entry of Shibo alone can double the taxation of our court."

"It's absurd. The Japanese pirates caused Shibo a disaster. There has been a public opinion for a long time. If you let your hype go, for the safety of our dynasty, Shibo must not be reopened." Li Mo flicked his sleeves and accused with a dark face.

When Li Mo got angry, some people on Yan Song's side couldn't help but feel a little scared. Li Mo is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he holds the power to promote officials. Old Yan Ge gave him three points of courtesy, let alone us.

"Market ships have the most benefits. If they are handled properly, the income will be in the millions. Wouldn't it be better for the people? The Southern Song Dynasty was weak, and the market ships did not harm the security of the country, not to mention the benefits of our dynasty's armored soldiers."

Others were afraid of Li Mo, but Yan Shifan was not afraid at all, and retorted with a sneer as soon as Li Mo finished speaking.

Emperor Jiajing listened seriously at this moment. Emperor Jiajing was very interested in what the courtier said just now about the income of the Song Dynasty. The annual income of the Ming Dynasty was only more than [-] million guan. He did not expect the Southern Dynasty, which only occupied the southern part of the Pian'an Dynasty. Well, the yearly income of the Shibo Department alone can reach tens of millions, which is almost equivalent to all the taxes of my Ming dynasty. What if I also opened a Shibo Department?

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but brighten his eyes. Let alone doubling the tax, it would increase it by half. It would be much easier to govern the country by himself.In addition, with the increase in taxes, there will be more money for alchemy.

Ever since, Emperor Jiajing's eyes became brighter the more he thought about it. In order to obtain more accurate data from the Southern Song Dynasty Shipbuilding Department, Emperor Jiajing wrote another small note and asked Huang Jin to send someone to the Imperial Academy, and asked the Imperial Academy to send the Southern Song Dynasty City Shipyard to the Imperial Academy. The relevant classics on the income of the shipping department and the annual revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty are ready to be presented.

It was the little Huangmen who had just delivered the note, and this time he rushed to the Imperial Academy again with the note written by Emperor Jiajing.

When Xiao Huangmen returned to the Imperial Academy with the note, Yuan Wei's eyes were crooked.

In Yuan Wei's opinion, this small note must be like the "sweet and sour fish is better with rice" written by Emperor Jiajing last time. It is natural for a book to be praised.

However, when Yuan Wei actually saw the words on the note, he couldn't help laughing.

Good

What was written on the note was, "Look up the information of the Southern Song Dynasty Shipping Department."

This is to find classics again.

Well, just now Zhu Pingan had the best luck, and happened to see the two books that the Holy Majesty was looking for. Not only did he escape, but he also made a great contribution.

Hmph, this time I'm looking for information about Shishi Shipsi in the Southern Song Dynasty.
What should I do to see you Zhu Pingan this time? !This time, the holy scriptures did not specify it. It depends on what you, Zhu Ping'an, can do.

Looking at the words on the small note, Yuan Wei finally felt relieved, the depression was swept away, replaced by a deep sense of relief.

Like last time, Yuan Wei once again followed Xiao Huangmen to Zangshu Pavilion where Zhu Ping'an was located, followed by many Hanlin officials, almost all the Hanlin officials who had done a good job last time came again this time.

"Shibosi, let me think about it. It seems that there is an ancient book called "Haitu Gemyu", but I don't know where this book is now in the corner of the library." After getting Zhu Ping'an's note, he suggested to Zhu Ping'an.

"I also remember that there is a bound edition of "Southern Song Dynasty Taxation" that seems to have a record of the taxation of the Shibo Division.."

"There is also a book called "Southern Song Dynasty Shihuo Zhi". I seem to have seen it on the second floor of Zangshu Pavilion in the early years, but it has been a long time. I don't remember which bookshelf it is in. I only remember that it is on the east side of the second floor."

From time to time, someone offered advice to Zhu Ping'an's ear, and after a while, more than N classics were recommended. However, although they recommended a lot of classics, they didn't know that the classics they recommended were lying in that corner of the library.

Yuan Wei watched this scene and smiled secretly, yes, that's right, that's it.

"Thank you, dear friends. If you don't mind, please sit in the pavilion and have a cup of thin tea." Zhu Pingan interrupted the voices of the Hanlin recommending books, and invited them to have a cup of tea in the library pavilion.

tea?

When we are stupid, you will invite us to drink tea, and you will definitely ask us to help you find books later, no, no.

As a result, Hanlins declined one after another.

Seeing this, the corners of Yuan Wei's raised lips blossomed brighter.

But before Yuan Wei's good mood lasted, he saw Zhu Ping'an repeating his words and actions from last time, bowed his hands and thanked him, and then went into the library again.

This time, I heard Zhu Ping'an's footsteps going upstairs.

"Ahem, guess what, Mr. Zhu has seen similar classics by chance?"

The Hanlin people looked at each other, and couldn't accept it for a while, and a Hanlin official couldn't help but said something with a red face.

Impossible, it won't be such a coincidence every time, **** luck is a fluke every time, how can it be **** lucky every time, everyone deeply agrees with this, think Zhu Ping'an this time Probably, probably, to be reasonable, probably not.

However, it didn't take long before Zhu Ping'an came out with a big thick book in his arms.

Crow mouth!
As a result, all the Hanlin officials turned their eyes to the Hanlin official who spoke just now. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan found the book so easily as he said.

"This Yongle Encyclopedia is the detailed information about the Southern Song Dynasty Shipping Department. I put a bookmark here, and the bookmark starts with the records of the Southern Song Dynasty Shipping Department. Thank you, Father-in-Law." Zhu Pingan handed the classic to the young man Huangmen pointed to a bookmark with Yingluo in this thick book and reminded Xiaohuangmen.

"Your Majesty Zhu is too polite, so our family will go back to life." Xiao Huangmen said politely after receiving the classics handed over by Zhu Ping'an, and then left with the thick classics carefully.

"Oh, I guessed that there must be a record of Shibosi in the Yongle Canon, so I tried to find out according to the Hongwu Zhengyun. Annual income is readily available.”

Zhu Pingan explained this to the curious Hanlin officials outside the door.

Uh, Yongle Grand Ceremony, yes, Yongle Grand Ceremony covers everything, so how could there be no Shibo Division?

All the imperial officials suddenly realized when they heard the words, it turned out that it could be like this, and they were a little convinced by Zhu Ping'an's quick response.

Yuan Wei's face was gloomy again, and he walked back to his position with strides, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out.Such a kid can no longer stay in the Hanlin Academy!
If Emperor Jiajing was a little surprised to find a book just now, then when Xiao Huangmen returned to the Xiyuan Hall with this volume of Yongle Canon to return to his life, Emperor Jiajing was very surprised. He did not expect the efficiency of the Imperial Academy to become so outstanding Yes, they are completely different from before.

If looking for a book last time just aroused Emperor Jiajing's heartstrings, then looking for a book this time is enough to arouse Emperor Jiajing's interest. Let Huang Jin call the little yellow gate to ask a few questions.

In the face of Emperor Jiajing's inquiry, Xiaohuangmen did not hide anything, and told Emperor Jiajing everything he had seen and heard from the Hanlin Academy, the Library Pavilion, and Zhu Ping'an.

"Interesting, interesting, he turned out to be my number one scholar. Huang Ban delivered the decree, ordering Zhu to meet Ping An, and I will reward him well." After hearing this, Emperor Jiajing opened his mouth with a smile.
