My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 410

"Hundreds of officials are listed."

A sharp voice sounded, breaking the greetings outside the gate of the imperial city.

Although they haven't seen each other for more than a month and they drink a lot in private, when they arrived at the city gate, three or five officials who knew each other inevitably gathered together to tease each other.

The eunuch's voice broke the hustle and bustle of the imperial city. Immediately, the gates of the city opened wide, and a group of civil and military officials began to line up consciously according to the color of their clothes.

Young Master Liu looked around and found that he was the last one. He couldn't help but sigh, the imperial palace is the imperial palace, and the Golden Luan Hall is worthy of the Golden Luan Hall. Officials below the fifth rank are not eligible to enter the palace except for the grand court meeting.

In ordinary court meetings, there are only officials with rank five and above
It is said that Beijing officials go out of Beijing to meet officials at a higher level. Who knows that Beijing officials are also divided into three, six, or nine grades.

A threshold and a moat have blocked the career dreams of many officials.

"Hey, Lao Jia, why are you guarding the gate again? I said that the imperial guards in the palace are not commanded by other guards besides you. Why did you guard the gate when they entered the palace?"

General Jia rolled his eyes helplessly: "Master Liu County, can you please pay attention to the occasion, this is the court time, if you go late, you will be punished for your misbehavior."

"Old Jia, how much is my annual salary?"

"One thousand taels of silver, one hundred grains of grain."

"Bye-Bye."

Young Master Liu waved goodbye to General Jia and hurriedly ran behind Qi Run.

1000 taels of silver is not a penny worth two pennies. If the fine is confiscated, there is no reason to go, and this salary is enough to support the family.

The whole family ate and drank, Lazard ran out of silver and drank the northwest wind, followed behind Qi Run sullenly, young master Liu looked at the scenery in the palace from time to time.

Although I have been here a few times, I am still shocked by the scale of the Imperial Palace. Young Master Liu has also been to the Forbidden City in his previous life, but compared to the Dragon Palace in front of him, the Forbidden City is just the difference between a child and an adult.

Taking a rough look, its area is probably more than double that of the Forbidden City. No wonder it is said that the Forbidden City is the most unworthy palace in the history of the imperial palace. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, Young Master Liu has [-]% believed it.

Civil and military officials slowly stepped into the Hall of Qinzheng and stood in order waiting for the emperor to arrive.

About half a cup of tea, Zhou Fei's voice came from the back of the hall.

"Your Majesty is here."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Zheng walked in wearing a dragon robe, slowly sat down on the dragon chair, and looked majesticly at the people below who lacked civil and military officials.

"My ministers see your Majesty, long live, long live, long live Your Majesty."

"Everyone loves to be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sit down."

Take a seat?Young Master Liu nodded when he heard the emperor's words. Can civil and military officials still sit?
It's Young Master Liu's best habit to read more and talk less if you don't understand. Although I don't know the rules, I can follow others.

Glancing quietly at the other officials, they stepped aside and knelt down one after another on blankets arranged in an orderly manner. Only then did Young Master Liu realize what the blanket on his left was for. The carpet was originally for officials to sit on their knees.

Gently knelt down and took his place, First Young Master Liu shook his body, not to mention, he was quite soft, really humane.

"It's the Spring Festival, I've spent more than a month of repairing, and there are a lot of memorials from various state capitals. The New Year is over, and the first court meeting, do you have any memorials?"

After Li Zheng saw all the officials entering the ranks one after another, he spoke softly to break the calm of the court meeting.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chentong Sansi has sorted out a total of 130 memorials from the state capitals in the southeast, southeast, southwest, among which [-] memorials are required for written instructions and [-] memorials for the six departments. The preparations have been completed, please Your Majesty to review."

Right Xiangtong Sansi took the lead and stood below respectfully holding a thick stack of memorials.

"Zhou Fei, present it."

"According to the order."

After Zhou Fei, the chief executive, took over the memorial from the right minister, Tong Sansi returned to his original position.

"Chen Zuoxiang Wei Yong sorted out a total of 110 memorials from various places in the northeast and northwest, and asked His Majesty to review them."

"Bring it up."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the taxation of gold and silver from the world's granaries, and various places have submitted tax and silver amounts. Among them, the 32 prefectures of the five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have collected a total of 700 million taels of silver, and the 27 prefectures of the four prefectures in the east of the Yangtze River have collected a total of 4101 million taels of silver. Taels, 700 million taels more than last year, and the treasury silver taels excluding the town treasury silver taels left by the state capitals are transported to the capital for a total of 900 million taels."

"Thirty-seven million taels? How could there be so much extra tax money?"

Li Zheng frowned, although there was some joy and more doubts.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also whispered to each other.

Jiang Yuanming glanced lightly at First Young Master Liu who was clacking his fingers.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, among the 900 million taels of tax silver, Zhu Run, the Marquis of Guannei, the Liuli mirror, the briquette business, and the business tax from northern Xinjiang leading to the border of the Kingdom of Jin totaled 600 million taels. More than enough."

Li Zheng took a deep look at First Young Master Liu, who was kneeling there: "Present."

"According to the order."

Li Zheng gave up the memorials of the two prime ministers and went to read the memorials of the Minister of the Ministry of Households first, which shows his fancy for the treasury.

After a while, Li Zheng put down the memorial in doubt: "Although Shu has the reputation of being a land of abundance, it has always paid a small amount of tax and silver, but it is unreasonable to suddenly have an extra 200 million taels. where?"

"Miao Ji, the left servant of the household department, reported back to His Majesty that the copy of the Duzhi Division is here, please Your Majesty to review it."

Li Zheng looked through the handouts presented carefully: "The Miao border has always been barren, so how can they pay so much tax? It's not much different from the normal tax in a central state."

"Your Majesty, three. His Royal Highness the King of Shu is stationed in the land of Shu. Perhaps it is because the King of Shu is good at herding the people. The people in the land of Shu can live and work in peace and prosperity, so the tax revenue will increase."

"maybe."

Li Zheng put down the memorial lightly. Although he said so, Li Zheng still had doubts on his brows.

"Your Majesty, Ye Kaiming, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, together with the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, have completed the trials of last year's cases and have handed them over to Dali Temple for review. Your Majesty, please have a look."

"Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, reported back to His Majesty, Minister of the Six Guards Generals of Northern Xinjiang, the horseshoe needs to be replaced, and the specific matters need to be replaced by Chen Ming, please have your Majesty look over it."

"Impeachment by the imperial envoy Xia Gongming."

All the ministers couldn't help sighing, as soon as Xia Gongming came out, the dudes in the capital would definitely be reprimanded.

"Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Defense, reported to His Majesty that the Turkic barbarians, ignorant of the destiny and ignorant of current affairs, rushed to invade our territory with unknown troops. The six guards of northern Xinjiang raised troops to meet the enemy. This battle beheaded 3000 of the enemy's heads and disturbed the total number of Turkic horses. 1 horses, [-] cattle and sheep, and more than [-] captives are already on their way to the capital."

"Okay." Even though he knew the news a long time ago, Li Zheng still couldn't help shouting hello.

Such a result has never been seen in nearly ten years, and it can be said to be a complete victory.
