Daxia Wensheng

It was a big event for Gu Jinnian to leave customs.

At least for Daxia Jingdu, it was a particularly happy event.

The only pity is that there is no vision.

Many people who come from thousands of miles away are for the purpose and vision.

However, after Gu Jinnian came out of customs, he immediately went to find Su Wenjing. This time when he realized the Tao, he settled down in his heart, but he also had many new thoughts.

So he wanted to go to Su Wenjing to talk about some things. After all, Su Wenjing was a semi-saint, so it would definitely be beneficial to talk to Su Wenjing by himself.

And in Kyoto.

With the end of the early court, all the officials walked out of the palace worried.

There is no other reason. In today's court meeting, everyone is still fighting. It's not just about money.

The Great Xia Dynasty needed silver more than ever.

And it's a lot of silver.

So in this court meeting, Emperor Yongsheng made a decree, which completely paralyzed all civil and military officials.

Salary cut in half.

For officials above the fifth rank, all salaries will be cut in half, including the support for officials who have been sent out, and each department will have some subsidy silver taels every year. Don't even think about it this year.

For the officials, this was like a thunderbolt, and it made the families who were not wealthy even worse.

The problem is that before the change, the officials could still find some reasons to refuse, but this time it is different.

The problem of the disaster area is here.

The matter of oasis migration has become a thorn in everyone's heart. With all the above problems added together, it is useless even if you want to refuse.

"Hey, internal and external troubles, internal and external troubles, this world is a blessing, I didn't expect it to become a disaster one day."

After walking out of the palace, Hubu Shangshu He Yan spoke, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Don't talk about it, Lord Shangshu. Your household department is okay, at least you have some money. Our criminal department is unlucky. This expenditure is reduced by half, and all the work has to be done. It's really troublesome."

"From now on, if you come to our Ministry of Punishment, if nothing else, the tea leaves will be gone."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice spoke, a little depressed.

"Why do you call the Ministry of Punishment so uncomfortable? It should be our Ministry of Rites who really suffers. How many foreign envoys does the Ministry of Rites entertain every year? There are still a lot of things that have been cut in half. Who can our Ministry of Rites turn to?"

"Don't even talk about it, do you think my bureaucracy is fine? I have been called poor for years, and this year is even poorer."

All the officials said to each other, they were very dissatisfied with this imperial decree, but no one dared to mention it, who would dare to mess around in a catastrophic year?
Unless you go against the people.

"Wang Shangshu, why haven't you said a word? Your Ministry of Industry is short of money, and this time it was cut in half. I feel like you didn't say a word? Why? The Ministry of Industry still has more money?"

At this moment, someone observed that Wang Qixin was silent and couldn't help but speak like this.

As soon as he said this, Wang Qixin frowned immediately.

"Stop slandering people here, the Ministry of Industry has no money, so don't even try to make ideas on the Ministry of Industry."

Wang Qixin spoke directly.

In fact, the Ministry of Industry is poorer than anyone else. In the eyes of outsiders, the Ministry of Industry can cut corners, but who would dare to do this?
Especially after the imperial court's project is completed, Emperor Yongsheng will not spoil him, and with the recent large-scale production of this and that, the Ministry of Industry can't wait to use one penny as two pennies.

If someone really came to give money, Wang Qixin immediately agreed, and then filled the big holes one by one.

"Oh, I really have to say, Yang Shangshu is probably the one who suffers the most. Counting the time, Yang Shangshu should have arrived in Jiangzhong County a long time ago. I guess he got the tax bill now?"

Someone made a sound and mentioned Yang Kai.

A few days ago, Yang Kai went to Jiangzhong County to collect grain tax with the people from the household department. Everyone disagreed with this matter.

I think it will lead to public resentment.

But I didn't expect that Emperor Yongsheng insisted on going his own way, even to collect grain tax, from the eyes of all officials, they could understand.

After all, Jiangzhong County’s grain accounted for one-third of the country’s grain tax, and it was inevitable that Emperor Yongsheng would not let it go. Although Jiangzhong County was hit by a disaster, but the government’s decree went down, at least two or 3000 million shi of grain could be collected, right?

Of course, the consequence of doing so is to arouse public resentment.

People are suffering from severe drought, and you still collect taxes. Isn't that unreasonable?

This is what bothers them the most.

Therefore, they thought that if Yang Kai went to Jiangzhong County, he would probably encounter all kinds of abuse, which is really a grievance.

"So what if I get the tax bill? Although I'm not from the Ministry of Household Affairs, I can still figure it out. In previous years, Jiangzhong County paid about 500 million shi in taxes. This year, it was about 3000 million shi. However, the tax bill is a tax bill."

"If you really want to collect it, it's a big problem. At most 2000 million shi of grain, which is still the most. In addition to the loss along the way, it will be almost 1000 million shi in Kyoto."

"But is the court short of 1000 million shi of grain? Without [-] million shi of grain, the problem cannot be solved at all."

The official from the Ministry of Officials spoke, and what he said made sense.

The current situation is rather simple. Ten million shi of grain cannot solve the fundamental problem, but at least it can solve many, many problems in front of it.

But it is difficult to collect [-] million shi of grain.

Very difficult.

"Forget it, let's wait a few days until Yang Shangshu comes back."

When He Yan opened his mouth, he understood better than anyone else that although the official's speech was a bit harsh, his words were true, and the actual situation was like this.

There is not much to say.

in this way.

Hundreds of officials left one after another.

And in Jiangnan County.

Among the Wu family.

Two figures are playing a game of chess.

They are Chang Yuntian and Wu Zhangyi.

"Mr. Chang is really clever. Knowing that the King of Qin will not agree, he resorted to this estrangement to separate father and son."

"If it weren't for this, King Qin would definitely not agree to our request."

Wu Zhangyi smiled slightly.

Earlier, Chang Yuntian went to look for the King of Qin and brought back bad news, which made the entire Jiangnan County merchants panic.

King Qin was their only life-saving straw, but they didn't expect that King Qin wouldn't even look at them.

Now, the king of Qin and the emperor had a estrangement, and the father and son were fighting, but they were given a chance.

How not to please them?

"King Qin's promise is not a plan. There are still two steps to confirm whether the plan has come true."

Changyun Tianluozi said so.

"The king of Qin has already agreed, and he is considered to be on our boat, so why not?"

"Could it be possible that Mr. Chang suspects that Emperor Yongsheng and the King of Qin conspired to act for me?"

Wu Zhangyi was a little surprised.

What the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River did was a serious crime of beheading. After the king of Qin knew about it, he agreed to cover it up. It stands to reason that we are all on the same boat, and there is no reason for other problems to happen.

"That's not it."

"If it's really an act, King Qin will not agree. Now King Qin's reputation has been completely ruined."

"Obviously fighting the fire in Donglin County, there is no credit but also hard work. Now that we have encountered injustice, no one can swallow this breath."

"King Qin pleaded guilty, which means that he has completely lost the fight for the crown prince. It is impossible for him to do so. It is extremely unfair to him."

"Even if Emperor Yongsheng asked him to do this, I'm afraid King Qin would not accept it. I have seen him. King Qin is not an idler. He has great ambitions and he has the heart of being an emperor."

"So acting is unlikely."

"I'm afraid that King Qin will wait for me to earn merit."

Chang Yuntian made a sound.

He didn't believe that this was acting. The price of acting in this scene was losing the throne. Who would want to change it?
At least King Qin would not agree.

He is an ambitious prince who wants to be the emperor, why would he play this scene with you for no reason?
Are you really full and have nothing to do?
Chang Yuntian's only worry was that King Qin wanted to use them as stepping stones to his position.

"Then if that's the case, what should we do?"

Wu Zhangyi frowned a little and couldn't help asking.

"Then you can only let him get deeper and deeper. You tell these businessmen that since King Qin supports them, they can do business without any scruples. Of course, it is similar to what happened before. Don't do it. This violates the bottom line, and King Qin is not stupid. .”

"But you can earn money as you want to earn money."

"Suppress the matter that spreads to the mother, and force Gu Jinnian to come forward."

Chang Yuntian opened his mouth and said so.

Instead of guarding against King Qin, it is better to drag King Qin deeper and deeper, he does not believe that so many things are involved, and when it comes out, King Qin will be fine?

The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the jade will be destroyed. He wants to see how the king of Qin will choose.

"Force Gu Jinnian to come forward?"

"If Gu Jinnian is here, wouldn't he be killing people?"

Wu Zhangyi frowned, his moves were a little random, obviously frightened by Gu Jinnian.

Gu Jinnian's prestige was not exaggerated, it was really killed, not to mention him, even those businessmen regarded Gu Jinnian as their enemy.

Anyway, I was afraid when I heard it. How could it be impossible for Gu Jinnian to be afraid of killing so many people?
"Don't worry, use Gu Jinnian to test King Qin, if Gu Jinnian really kills."

"That proves that King Qin doesn't have one heart with us at all."

"If Gu Jinnian doesn't kill a lot, although it can't prove that King Qin and I have one heart, at least it will be beneficial to us."

"This is just a temptation. If you open this mouth, King Qin will fall into the quagmire. I don't believe it. He will be destroyed."

Chang Yuntian made a faint sound.

When he said this, he said slowly.

"You have already lost."

On the chessboard, the sunspots formed a big dragon, and indeed won.

It's just that Wu Zhangyi didn't show any expression, it was just a game of chess, nothing more.

But flattery still has to say a few words.

"Mr. Chang's chess skills are really unparalleled in the world, and this made my third son."

"If I don't give in, I'm afraid I'll lose within fifty moves."

"Mr. Chang has such chess skills, why don't you go to Jixia Academy, and heard that there is no superior chess technique in Jixia Academy, if you can realize it suddenly, you can get destiny."

Wu Zhangyi asked, what he said was both a compliment and the truth.

"There is a specialization in art. What I am best at is not chess, but Confucianism. I have a younger brother who is unparalleled in chess. He made me the third son, and I can't beat him. He will go to Jixia Academy this time. Slaughter chess way big dragon."

Chang Yuntian made a sound and said so.

Praise your younger brother.

"I see."

Wu Zhangyi nodded.

At this moment, Chang Yuntian also slowly got up and said.

"After Gu Jin is forced out, I will become an official in the Great Xia Dynasty, and I will need to rely on you a lot."

Chang Yuntian said so.

The latter saluted immediately.

"Sir, you are polite. Sir, you saved my Wu family from fire and water. This matter, Mr. Wu, will never forget."

"As long as the gentleman speaks, the Wu family will definitely help him, and the businessmen in Jiangnan County will also fully support the gentleman."

Wu Zhangyi said.

But at this moment, Chang Yuntian didn't say anything, cupped his hands, and left this place.

the same moment.

Daxia Academy.

Gu Jinnian and Su Wenjing were also having a conversation.

Gu Jinnian told Su Wenjing one by one what he had felt during this period of time, and also fully explained his doubts.

"Sir, Consciousness, how should I deal with it?"

"If you suppress your intentions, you are not yourself."

"If you don't suppress your will, the movement of your will will produce good and evil. My goodness is not the goodness of the world, and my evil is not the evil of the world."

"Also ask sir to clear up your doubts."

Gu Jinnian spoke up, this was the issue he was most concerned about, and it was also the biggest issue stuck in front of him now.

intentional movement.

How to dispose of it.

Hearing Gu Jinnian speak, Su Wenjing didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while.

"Jinnian, you are familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, you should know what it means to be distracted, right?"

Su Wenjing spoke up and found the direction of explanation.

"clear."

"The mind beats like an ape's."

"Consciousness runs like a horse."

"This is a horse with a mind."

Gu Jinnian replied.

"En." Su Wenjing nodded, then got up and said: "Buddhism pays attention to calming the mind. This calming is to settle the ape in the heart. The question you asked is nothing more than the movement of the mind, which gave birth to my good and evil. It is also impossible to determine how good and evil this is in the world."

"But have you ever thought about why you want to change?"

"Why don't you let this intention move with you, with your heart?"

Su Wenjing smiled slightly, he pointed out a bright way for Gu Jinnian.

"Move with yourself?"

"Then how to distinguish between good and evil?"

Gu Jinnian was thoughtful, but also full of curiosity.

"Jin Nian."

"You care too much about good and evil."

"What is good?"

"How many scholars are there in the world? Is everyone good?"

"What is evil?"

"Sorcerer monks must be evil?"

"You are not me, how do you know if I do good or evil?"

"I am not you, how do I know whether you are doing good or evil?"

"Good and evil are like yin and yang in this world. If there is no light, who would know the darkness?"

"What troubles you is whether your good or evil is the good or evil of others?"

"This in itself is a nonsense. Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and there are so many living beings. It is difficult to find two people who are exactly the same."

"Not to mention the distinction between good and evil?"

"Jinnian, do you understand?"

Su Wenjing spoke out, explaining the origin of good and evil.

He described it with the Buddhist heart, ape, and horse, and explained it with Yin and Yang.

Gu Jinnian benefited a lot.

It has to be said that a half saint is a half saint.

"Students are enlightened."

"Thank you sir for your enlightenment."

Thanks Gu Jinnian.

Su Wenjing smiled slightly.

"Jinnian, you are already doing pretty well at this point, and you are almost close to the holy way."

"It can be seen that this enlightenment means a lot to you."

"It's pretty good."

"Jixia Academy will delay for another three months for you."

"In three months, you should be able to really touch the holy way. If you speak in the academy, you can directly step into the semi-holy realm. With the help of the road to become holy, you will become a saint for hundreds of years."

"Confucianism and Taoism are prosperous."

Su Wenjing smiled and said, he had high hopes for Gu Jinnian.

"You're welcome, sir. You can sanctify students ahead of time, there's no need to wait."

"After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. If there is any trouble again, I still need Mr. Wang."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

This holy way, to be honest, Gu Jinnian really can't guarantee that he will be able to become holy, the time and understanding needed are indispensable.

For his own sake, Su Wenjing forcibly delayed his sanctification. In Gu Jinnian's opinion, this should not be done.

As for these false names, it doesn't really matter. My own reputation is already big enough. It doesn't matter if it is more or less.

"No, no, no."

Su Wenjing shook his head, then looked at Gu Jinnian and spoke slowly.

"Jin Nian."

"You don't really think that the old man is letting you in, do you?"

Su Wenjing opened his mouth and told the truth.

Holy man.

This is the seventh realm, who wouldn't want to step into the seventh realm?
Although Su Wenjing is a gentleman.

But it can't be so great and selfless, right?

It is really difficult to go up, even if you get the Sacred Heart of Heaven and Earth, you need a certain amount of time to accumulate if you want to step into the holy way.

If you can't become a saint, it's reasonable to say a few beautiful words.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian froze for a moment.

But after all, he still didn't say anything, just got up and planned to go back to Wen Palace.

There are so many fruits growing in the tree of sentient beings. Now that I have cleared my mind, I should use the holy fruits of Confucianism and Taoism to complete the final transformation. I don’t mean stepping into the holy way, but at least grasp it.

"correct."

"Where is that Su Huaiyu who has been by your side?"

"Why does it feel like I haven't seen him for a long time?"

Right after Gu Jinnian got up, Su Wenjing couldn't help being curious and asked where Su Huaiyu had gone.

"Oh?"

"This guy should still be farming."

Mentioning Su Huaiyu, Gu Jinnian almost forgot about him. When Su Huaiyu was asked to grow food, Gu Jinnian's only impression was that Su Huaiyu left with a big bag of seeds.

Where exactly it went, I really don't know.

But it's very simple to summon Su Huaiyu, just do something illegal.

"Cultivation?"

"There is nothing to do when you are full."

"Jinnian, don't hang out with this kind of person in the future. It's this kind of person that keeps you from stepping into the holy realm."

Su Wenjing made a sound, a little annoyed.

"Understood, sir."

Gu Jinnian nodded, said something casually, and then walked out of the academy.

soon.

After Gu Jinnian walked out of the academy, a figure directly blocked the way forward.

It is Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"Master Hou."

"Report to Lord Hou."

"The first phase of the Great Xia Everbright City project has been completed."

The appearance of Wang Qixin surprised Gu Jinnian, but after hearing this, Gu Jinnian understood.

The work on the city that never sleeps has been completed.

For four or five months, the Ministry of Industry worked overtime to complete the first phase of the project.

"it is good."

Gu Jinnian nodded, and when he mentioned the city that never sleeps in Daxia, Gu Jinnian was still a little refreshed.

In the past, I was more worried that the common people were not rich, and it would be difficult to earn a lot of wealth in the Great Summer Night City, but now it is different. The dragon rice in the river, the five oasis, and other places grow different dragon rice.

It is difficult for the people of Great Xia not to be rich. The greater the income of the city that never sleeps in Kyoto, it will be replicated in other ancient cities in the future. Basically, the income of Kyoto will fluctuate by about [-]% in other ancient cities.

It's not bad, and it will even surpass the grand occasion of the capital of Daxia.

The Nightless City of Daxia is not just a place to make money, but the 72 counties of Daxia, including other countries.

Stabilize the status of Daxia Baochao.

"Master Hou, when will this city that never sleeps in Great Summer open?"

Seeing that Gu Jinnian only said one good word, Wang Qixin couldn't help asking about the opening.

"The preparation of the goods, plus the personnel matters, will open in fifteen days."

Gu Jinnian set a date. He told Wang Fugui to train a group of people, so there is no need to worry about the personnel, and the vacancies can be filled quickly.

And the shipment of goods takes time.

But this is easy to handle, using Daxia treasure ships and Daxia dragon boats for transportation.

"understood."

Wang Qixin nodded.

"What? What happened to the court?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qixin didn't hesitate, and directly told Gu Jinnian what happened during this period.

Hearing the estrangement between King Qin and Emperor Yongsheng, Gu Jinnian couldn't help frowning.

Coupled with all the following things, Gu Jinnian's face was solemn.

"King Qin did not harm the people."

In the end, Gu Jinnian said that he knew that the King of Qin did not harm the people, and he knew better than anyone else about the affairs of Donglin County.

"Master Hou."

"Now it's no longer a matter of whether King Qin made a mistake, but a matter of whether people in the world think it or not."

"Youyou's mouth has been decided, it's useless for the King of Qin not to harm the people."

"However, His Majesty has already dealt with this matter. At least King Qin did not continue to make trouble. After a while, no one will pay attention to this matter."

When Wang Qixin spoke, he was right.

But Gu Jinnian felt that it was still necessary to find King Qin.

"Wang Shangshu, this is the token of the commander of the Lantern Division. Send someone to ask the Lantern Division to post the notice."

"In other words, the Great Xia Nightless City will open in fifteen days, and the goods will be complete, and every citizen who goes to the Nightless City will be given a gift."

Gu Jinnian asked Wang Qixin to do this.

"Okay, don't worry, Lord Hou."

Wang Qixin nodded.

And Gu Jinnian went straight to Prince Qin's mansion.

He really didn't know about this matter, but now that he knows, he also wants to have a good chat with King Qin.

Just waiting for Gu Jinnian to arrive at Prince Qin's mansion.

King Qin seemed very calm, he was still watching the singer's performance in the mansion, drinking and eating, nothing unusual.

The only difference is that King Qin is clearly preoccupied.

"Brother Qin Wang."

Seeing King Qin, Gu Jinnian shouted, and King Qin was all smiles.

"Brother Jinnian."

"How is Wudao?"

"Is there any gain?"

"Do you need any help from my brother?"

Seeing Gu Jinnian, King Qin was very happy. This kind of happiness came from the heart without any affectation.

"Need not."

"Brother is coming back to report the good news to my brother."

"Our Great Summer Night City is about to open."

Gu Jinnian said with a smile.

Hearing this, King Qin was not particularly happy. He has never been very interested in this, and it's nothing else. He just thinks that his brother, Confucianism and Taoism, are definitely leveraged, and his business is probably not going to be much better.

However, in order to support his younger brother, he paid the money directly, without considering such things as getting back the money.

Anyway, as long as Jinnian is happy.

The two sat down, and after chatting for a few words, Gu Jinnian still brought up the matter of Donglin County intentionally or unintentionally.

But when Gu Jinnian proposed to help King Qin prove his innocence, King Qin refused.

"The wind critique has already formed."

"Go and explain to me, but it will hurt you. My brother is like this now, and there is nothing to hope for."

"Okay, brother Jinnian, you have the heart, being a big brother is very happy and touching, so don't get meddled in this matter."

King Qin patted Gu Jinnian on the shoulder, and said very directly.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian did not say anything more.

After all, this is indeed other people's family affairs, and it doesn't make sense to meddle in it yourself.

in this way.

About half an hour later, Gu Jinnian resigned, and he needed further enlightenment.

Pick all the fruits of Confucianism and Taoism from the tree of sentient beings, and complete the real transformation.

As Su Wenjing said, he can indeed achieve immortality and become a semi-saint in Jixia Academy.

As for sanctification, let’s see.

Gu Jinnian left.

And the same moment.

Great Xia Dynasty.

Jiangzhong County, in Fucheng.

Yang Kai and several officials from the household department were staring blankly at the tax bill in front of them.

They read the tax bill seven or eight times.

But still watching over and over again.

Zhou Man, the governor of Jiangzhong County, stood in front of Yang Kai, looking very respectful. Although he was a governor, he was still two levels lower than Yang Kai.

"Master Yang, is there anything wrong with this tax bill?"

Zhou Man's face was gentle.

After all, these people have been in a daze for a long time, and they always feel that there is something wrong.

Hear this.

Yang Kai woke up from the shock, but still couldn't help but take another look at the tax bill.

Jiangzhong County paid 450 shi, 210, [-] shi for grain tax this time.

Thirty million stones of grain.

At the peak of Jiangzhong County's tax payment, it was only 500 million shi for grain. Now that it is experiencing a severe drought, you tell me that there is [-] million shi for grain tax?
Are you bluffing me?

"Master Zhou, is there something wrong with this tax bill?"

"Is it 3000 million shi of grain?"

Yang Kai made a sound and asked Zhou Mandao.

The latter took the tax bill and shook his head directly.

"There is nothing wrong, it is [-] million shi grain tax, collected according to the new policy, ten out of ten, but didn't Jiangzhong County pay a tax less before? The people of Jiangzhong County have asked to make up for it."

"According to the new policy, it should be supplemented, otherwise, it should be 6000 million and [-] million shi of grain."

"That's right, my lord."

Zhou Man opened his mouth and looked at Yang Kai with some doubts.

hiss!
hiss!
hiss!
In an instant, three gasping voices sounded, Yang Kai, the right servant of the household department, and a member of the household department, Wailang, were completely paralyzed.

Is this fucking one out of ten?

"In other words, Jiangzhong County can now produce 16 million shi of grain at a time?"

The right servant of the household department directly grabbed Zhou Man and asked in astonishment.

Zhou Man, who was caught, suddenly felt a little helpless.

"My lord, my lord, don't get excited, didn't Master Hou tell you?"

Zhou Man was really helpless, he thought these people knew.

"Master Hou?"

"Wait, isn't Jiangzhong County experiencing a severe drought? Why is there so much food?"

"Zhou Man, won't you forcibly take away people's food for political achievements?"

"This is the crime of implicating the nine clans."

Yang Kai made a sound, subconsciously thinking that Zhou Man was messing around.

"My lord, if you don't believe me, you can drive directly to various places to check."

"Besides, Jiangzhong County suffered a severe drought, but it was solved directly by Lord Hou."

"Hou Ye took out a kind of dragon ear, which was planted in Jiangzhong County. Its output is twice that of ordinary grain, and one person can eat and drink enough to eat two or two meters a day, and it can also replenish energy and blood."

"A few days ago, didn't you have merit? If there is no accident, in two months, you can harvest some more, but at that time, you can only pay half of these at best."

"Oh, no, the golden light of merit has fallen on our Jiangzhong County, which has improved many good fields. Now Jiangzhong County has no ordinary cultivated land, and it is basically good fields. In addition, the speed of people's land reclamation is a bit fast."

"After two months, basically [-] million shi of grain can be handed over, and it will be stable in a few months. Anyway, if there are no major problems in the future, [-] million shi of grain will be handed in every four months."

"My lord, if you don't believe me, you can go and have a look, the lower officials will not follow, lest your lord misunderstand."

Zhou Man made a sound.

Anyway, if you don't believe me, go see for yourself.

Hearing this, Yang Kai immediately understood that what Zhou Man said was basically true. After all, most officials would be accompanied by local officials when they came to inspect, and the more officials accompanied them, there would actually be a lot of tricks.

But Zhou Man dared to speak like this, so he was not afraid at all.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Look at what you said, how can the old man not trust the governor."

Yang Kai smiled, then spoke.

"However, the old man has never been to Jiangzhong County, and I want to see the lives of the people, let's go!"

After saying this, Yang Kai led the people away directly.

After walking out of the private room.

Yang Kai waved his hand, and suddenly a horse appeared in front of him, and then he steered the Wenma, and disappeared in the Jiangzhong County mansion at the fastest speed.

Straight to somewhere else, and some backcountry at that.

He believes that Zhou Man is good.

But some things, seeing is believing.

in this way.

Five hours later.

Zhou Man and the people from the household department came back, and the eyes of the three of them were extremely astonished.

Because looking along the way, they found that the farmland was full of grain, and the people were very busy, and they were all very happy.

Basically, I didn't see people swearing at them. I finally found a place, but the people passed by.

But I found out that it was the old people in the village who were scolding.

The content of the scolding also made the three of them completely speechless.

Look at the village next door, this year's harvest is [-] shi, and then look at you, it's only [-] shi, what a shame.

For a small village with a population of several hundred households, a bumper harvest of [-] is considered a bumper harvest. There are [-] shi or [-] shi here, which shocked their three views.

And they asked all the way, not only found that what Zhou Man said was true, but more importantly, they found that the people actually wanted to pay more taxes.

Have no idea.

There is really too much food, whether it is stored in the cellar or in the granary, anyway, there is no place to store it, so I thought it would be better to pay more.

But the local government doesn't want it, for no other reason, it's really full.

And the rules are the rules, if you agree to take one out of ten, you will get one out of ten, so each village actually wants to donate to several surrounding counties. They feel that this time there is a severe drought in Jiangzhong County, and it is time for them to repay their kindness with support from all directions.

This matter has been recognized by many people. From the village to the prefecture, many people have this idea, discuss together, discuss how to transport it, and in whose name.

Damn it, Yang Kai and the others were completely convinced.

Really convinced.

"Master Yang, how is the inquiry going?"

In Fucheng.

Zhou Man opened his mouth and looked at Yang Kai with a smile.

"it is good."

"It's really good."

"This is a great achievement."

"Zhou Man, the old man will return to Beijing now, and inform His Majesty of the happy event."

"You will do a great job in this matter."

Yang Kai spoke excitedly, there was an uncontrollable joy in his heart.

The current Daxia Dynasty is full of wastes, and there is a shortage of money and food. In fact, the money is okay. If there is no money, the construction will not continue at worst.

But food is the most important thing.

What do the victims eat?
What do the migrants eat?
Didn't you count it before?How much food does the Ministry of Household need to solve the immediate problem?

Ten million stones of grain.

But now Jiangzhong County alone can hand in [-] million shi of grain, and if the transportation consumes [-] million shi of grain, this is also [-] million shi.

The issue is!
Zhou Man said that there will be more in two months.

Almost [-] million stone.

This shit.

Wuhu.

Take off.

"Thank you, Master Yang."

Zhou Man opened his mouth, but before he could say anything else, he saw Yang Kai and others riding back directly.

Especially Yang Kai, he is a great Confucian after all, his awe-inspiring righteousness turned into a fierce horse, the fastest, rushing to the capital, he must inform the officials of the capital of this good news.

"Gu Jinnian, Gu Jinnian."

"It turns out that you have already solved the troubles in Jiangzhong County."

"I just said, why is Jiangzhong County all right?"

"The army of 50 was originally used to seal the secrets, hahahahaha, this time I want to surprise the whole world."

"The Great Xia Dynasty has food and money!!!"

Yang Kai murmured to himself excitedly.

Although he is not the Minister of the Household Department, the operation of the entire dynasty, in fact, is not the two directions of the people's livelihood and the prosperity of the country?

And these two directions, around the core are two points.

Silver and food.

When the food is settled, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the money will come.

16 shi of grain for four months.

A year is close to 50 shi of grain.

Even if the population of the Great Xia Dynasty tripled, it wouldn't be enough.

No one will ever be short of food again.

Never again.

Thinking of this, Yang Kai laughed excitedly.

Just run and run.

Suddenly, Yang Kai thought of one thing.

"Dragon rice in the river."

"Big Xia Nightless City?"

Wang Qixin told himself about the completion of the Great Xia Nightless City a few days ago, but he didn't pay attention to it for the time being because many things were piled up in front of him.

But now that he learned about the Longmi in the Jiangzhong, he suddenly thought that Gu Jinnian's business map was over.

"The dragon rice in the river is sold for ten taels and one stone. For the common people, it is really worth the money."

"Just for selling rice, I'm afraid the income is astronomical."

"Fuck it."

"I'm going to send it."

"My Ministry of Rites is about to send out."

Yang Kai realized later, after awakening, he couldn't help but let out a ghostly cry.

How many years has the Ministry of Rites been poor?
This time it is really going to be posted.

As for Gu Jinnian's Daxia Everbright City, there are two reasons why he invested in it himself. One is that the crown prince said it himself, and the other is that Gu Jinnian's business plan is really good.

But whether it can make money is still unknown.

What if the plan is very good, but the effect is very impressive?

But now, Yang Kai fully understands how good this plan is.

This is simply giving money to myself for nothing.

Hahahahahaha!

Thinking of this, Yang Kai rode faster.

in this way.

Until Maoshi.

In Daxia Kyoto.

Palace Hall.

Baiguan held a court meeting as usual.

There are too many things going on recently, so I can only hold court meetings every day.

But the content of the court meeting is always inseparable from money and food.

"Your Majesty, the aftermath work in Longxi County has been arranged in an orderly manner."

"However, the people of Donglin County have been recalled, and the number of relocated people has also been determined. In the land of the two counties, 1000 million people can be gathered to go to the oasis, but there is an urgent need for food, one is for disaster relief, and the other is to stabilize people's hearts."

"Approximately 2000 million shi of grain is needed, Guanping County's grain tax revenue is 400 million shi, and Nanhe County's grain tax revenue is 100 million shi. Your Majesty, please allocate the grain of the two counties to Donglin County."

The left servant of the household department spoke, and was the first to play.

But it's not waiting for Emperor Yongsheng to speak.

Immediately, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War stood up and said roughly the same thing as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Accounting, but aimed at Nanyue County.

And it is also aimed at the grain of Guanping County and Nanhe County.

Because these two places are close to the disaster area, it is natural to compete.

Soon, the war of words began again.

Basically, there is no great nutrition, but each has its own suffering and its own reasons. Anyway, the food tax revenue of these two places wants to be used for disaster relief.

This is the recent state of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Going to court is a quarrel.

The content of the quarrel was about food or money.

One opening is bigger than the other, and the appetite is bigger than the other.

What silenced Emperor Yongsheng the most was.

Both sides were right.

Each has its own reasons.

It's all for disaster relief, it depends on how the emperor is chosen.

"enough."

Emperor Yongsheng yelled, and then reprimanded him.

The court was also completely quiet.

But quiet is quiet, unhappy or unhappy.

Anyway, it is to fight.

Everyone has to participate, and everyone is poor.

And right now.

A voice sounded outside.

"Report!"

"Qizou Your Majesty, Minister of Rites, Yang Kai, Lord Yang has a very urgent matter to see you."

With this voice sounded.

The hall was instantly quieter.

At this moment, the five great ministers couldn't help sighing.

Yang Kai is in a hurry?
It must be that something big happened in Jiangzhong County.

And it must be taxable.

"enter."

Emperor Yongsheng made a sound, sat on the dragon chair, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Yang Kai is back, this is a good thing, it can solve this urgent need.

soon.

A figure quickly entered the palace.

He ran so fast that he almost fell down.

"His Majesty!"

"Minister Yang Kai, there is a shocking and happy event to report."

Yang Kai was a little trembling when he spoke, his face flushed with excitement.

this moment.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

Happy event?
Are you sure you are right?
If you want to say that Jiangzhong County's people's change, I will believe it, but you tell me about the happy event?
Seeing Yang Kai's expression, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help frowning.

"In a panic."

"As a Shangshu, it's so inappropriate to speak."

"The grain tax in Jiangzhong County is amazing, isn't it?"

"Speak directly."

"Is it 5000 million or 8000 million stone?"

Emperor Yongsheng said that he had known the situation in Jiangzhong County for a long time, and now he was shocked to see the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

This is not to be missed.

You must put on a calm look and maintain the majesty of the emperor.

But hear this.

The officials were completely dumbfounded, they didn't understand what Emperor Yongsheng was saying?
Nonsense?
"No."

"Your Majesty, it's not 8000 million stones, nor 5000 million stones."

Yang Kai said, he didn't know why Emperor Yongsheng would say this number.

Hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was also stunned.

Not 5000 million stone?

Not 8000 million stone?
Could something be wrong?
This time, Emperor Yongsheng became a little nervous.

"How much is it, just say it directly."

Emperor Yongsheng asked Yang Kai to speak.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"The total tax revenue of Jiangzhong County is [-] million shi."

Yang Kai was a little confused, he looked down at the tax bill, and then answered seriously.

In an instant.

The court was quiet.

He Yan's eyes widened.

Looking at Yang Kai stubbornly.

The civil and military officials were also completely dumbfounded.

Looking at Yang Kai.

The entire hall was eerily quiet.

It can also be said that the needle can be heard.

Even Emperor Yongsheng.

This time also speechless.

hiss!
hiss!
hiss!
He Yan was the first to gasp.

What does the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs say?

He is naturally sensitive to the food tax, and the national tax is calculated by him, so how could he not be sensitive?

For the entire Great Xia Dynasty, after one year, it was almost [-] million shi of grain tax.

Now a Jiangzhong county can actually pay [-] million stone grain tax?
You fucking treat me like a three-year-old, are you bluffing me?
Then it was Baiguan who gasped.

Especially the left servant of the household department and the right servant of the military department.

The two brothers almost fought in this hall just now in order to compete for tens of millions of stones of grain.

As a result, after hearing it now, Jiangzhong County can pay [-] million shi for grain?
Didn't you make us two brothers look like clowns?

But the most shocking thing is Emperor Yongsheng.

He really didn't expect it to be thirty million stones?
Are you still conservative?
But right now.

Yang Kai spoke again silently.

"Uh, Your Majesty Qizuo, Zhou Man, the magistrate of Jiangzhong County, said that after two months, another grain tax of [-] million shi will be paid."

He opened his mouth.

The voice fell.

It was completely quiet.

This time there was no breathing.
