please make me king

Chapter 1024 Shaanxi at a loss
"May I ask how the money and food in Shaanxi are?" When he learned that Shaanxi was in such a difficult situation, Zhang Shun hurriedly recruited Hong Chengchou, Ding Qirui, Zheng Chongjian, and his father-in-law Wang Shiqin and others.

Nahong Chengchou once served as the governor of the three sides, and he is very familiar with this.

So he quickly introduced: "The actual food amount of the Shaanxi Chief Envoy is [-] million shi, of which [-] shi is for Xi'an Prefecture and [-] shi for Yan'an Prefecture."

"Except for Hanzhong Mansion's [-] shi and Lintao Mansion's [-] shi, the rest of the prefectures range from more than [-] shi."

"Wait!" Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but turned to Lu Weiqi and asked, "Didn't you just say that Shaanxi's grain was only worth a million shi? How could it be doubled?"

"Prince Shun is gracious!" Lu Weiqi couldn't help explaining quickly when he heard the words, "This one million nine hundred and eighty-eight thousand stones is the true color."

"Among them, millions of stones were turned into dry materials such as silver, forage, and cloth, so the actual grain collection was only a million stones."

It turned out that when Lao Zhu started his army, he was no different from Zhang Shun now. Everything was based on having enough to eat, so taxes were based on food.

However, as the situation gradually stabilized later, and living materials such as silver, cloth, and fodder increased greatly, part of the grain tax was converted into other materials for collection.

"Let's not disrespect, just collect food and grass!" Zhang Shun couldn't help waving his hand when he heard that he didn't understand what was going on.

"Xu Quan has [-] men under his command, who can be used as soldiers with a little training. Just now that the army has returned, I will assign you to help collect food!"

Just kidding, I can't get enough to eat, so why bother with cloth and silver?
Xi'an Mansion has [-] shi that can be expropriated, accounting for almost half of Shaanxi's grain tax. How can Zhang Shun bear it?
"No, no!" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help dissuading him, "Although the quota is originally like this, it has never been fully collected for at least the past ten years."

"If the king of Qin really collects according to the number of times, it will definitely spark a civil uprising!"

"Why?" Zhang Shun was not annoyed, but asked strangely.

The chief official Zheng Chongjian took out the fish scale album with a wry smile, and said to Zhang Shun with a smile: "From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, this thing has been copied less and less, and the name has long been inconsistent with the reality!"

"After Mr. Zhang Ge's inventory, the situation is a little better, but it has been forty or fifty years since now. Is there any reason why it will not change?"

This is the advantage of being demoted, all the data can be clearly presented to you, and all problems can be clearly analyzed for you.

Isn't this stuff land annexation?

Zhang Shun's previous life textbook had already mentioned it a million times, why didn't he understand it?
Zhang Shun couldn't help but sneered and said, "It's so good, it just happens to be cleaned up in one shot!"

"Leaving aside the civilian land, it is advisable to start by cleaning up the land of the royal residence, the official land and the farmland of the guard."

"If anyone who dares to invade or treacherously send it back, if it is returned in full, the past will be ignored, let alone."

"If you evade in every possible way and resist forcefully, you will be punished with the law. If you dare to rebel, the leader will be punished, and men and women will be assigned to border towns and fields!"

"Okay, I will follow orders now!" In fact, Lu Weiqi was already full of anger during the grain collection process.

It's just that the rebel army was fighting tight at that time, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Now that it happened to be authorized by Zhang Shun, how can there be any reason to hold your eyebrows?

"This..." Hong Chengchou, Zhang Bojing, Ding Qirui and Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but look at me and I look at you.

Anyway, everyone is not from Xi'an, let him kill him, but it has nothing to do with himself and others.

Only Zhang Shun's father-in-law, Wang Shiqin, had his eyelids twitch twice, and was forced down again by himself.

In fact, Zhang Shun’s action was very similar to that of Sun Chuanting’s cleanup of the military settlements in the original history. He did not move the civilian fields, but first mobilized the fields of the prince’s mansion, official fields, and guards with less resistance, hoping to obtain certain supplies in a short time to relieve the urgent need.

It's just that Sun Chuanting could only move the five guards of Shaanxi at that time, and he was accused by the local gentry that he couldn't take care of himself.

But Zhang Shun is not the case. Except for the five guards in Shaanxi, he has to move the fields of Prince Qin's mansion and the official land of Daming.

Anyone who dares to do something in these fields must be a gentry, a big family, and a powerful man who is not easy to get along with. How could there be any mistake?
It just so happened that Zhang Shun had soldiers and generals under his command, and the Heluo clan represented by Lu Weiqi had nothing to do with Xi'an, so naturally there was no scruples in the investigation.

Well, well done!
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but looked at Zhang Shun in admiration, don't look at this guy who has always been cruel and merciless, in fact he is also a person who "bullys the weak and fears the hard".

Otherwise, in history, he would not leave the tough bone of cleaning up the farmland to Sun Chuanting to chew on.

Originally, Hong Chengchou thought Zhang Shun was too weak, but he never thought that this fellow is a tiger in sheep's clothing.

On the surface, he was laughing and joking, and made everyone happy with his good-natured appearance all day long, but suddenly he was about to pounce on him and "eat people".

"Okay, Mr. Hong, please continue!" Zhang Shun ordered tens of thousands of lives and deaths, and then ordered lightly.

"This..." Hong Chengchou was taken aback, I've finished talking, what else do you want me to continue?
However, fortunately, he has been in Shaanxi for so many years, and he is not living for nothing.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou continued: "There are more than [-] farmlands in Guyuan Town, which can harvest more than [-] stones of grain, more than [-] bundles of forage, and more than [-] taels of silver per mu."

"There are [-] guards in the town of Gansu, more than [-] farmlands, and [-] stones are enough for military supplies."

"Okay, this is good!" Zhang Shun couldn't help saying happily after finally hearing the good news.

I can support myself, Zhang Yingchen, I am very optimistic about you.

"Ningxia town has [-] farmland, [-] shi of grain and [-] taels per mu." Hong Chengchou wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, it was all about Zhang Yingchen's work , Why bother to talk too much.

"It's just that since Jiajing, the river has collapsed and the sand has been crushed, which is not as high as before."

"After the Qibai Rebellion, officers and soldiers diverted water to irrigate the city, and destroyed a lot of fertile land."

"Since then, Ningxia Town has not been as successful as before, so it needs to continue to increase."

"Okay!" Zhang Shun sighed when he heard the words, the officers and soldiers back then were really wicked.

But fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, how could there be a mutiny in Ningxia Town, and how could it be taken advantage of by him?
"At the beginning of the country in Yansui Town, there were more than [-] farmlands, more than [-] stones of grain, more than [-] bundles of forage, and more than [-] taels of silver per mu." Hong Chengchou glanced at Wang Shiqin and continued.

"It's just that all the fields are now abandoned, and all the grain is given to the hinterland!"

"What?" Zhang Shunzheng was delighted to hear it, and couldn't help standing up abruptly, "Everything is for nothing, let's go to the hinterland?"

The father-in-law, Wang Shiqin, quickly stood up and said, "In Yulin, the men don't farm and the women don't weave. All utensils depend on food and wages!"

No, isn’t it normal for men to farm and women to weave in an agricultural society?

And it's fine if you don't plow or weave, what is the meaning of that smug expression?
　Originally listening to everyone's opinions, the author prepared to publish a new volume after a few chapters, but it turned out that the publication was wrong, and all the first three chapters were published to the fifth volume.The author simply started counting the first three chapters together, and started the fifth volume directly from Chapter 4.
