Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 521 Slap in the face on the spot, what is a pillar of a country! (lean back)
Anyway, this Chu Xingyu is a talent introduced by Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei.

Now, Zhou Jinyong has snatched all the limelight. Doesn't this make Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei very embarrassing?
Since it is a matter of discussion, it is a good discussion.

Both Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei held their breaths to let Chu Xingyu show off, and they are not unavailable.

Interior Office

Zhou Jinyong is already here.

He is no stranger to Zhu Youxiao, and even Zhou Jinyong promoted many of the gadgets that Zhu Youxiao created for him.

From the moment he served as the magistrate of Yongding County, Zhou Jinyong has shown his amazing ability to fool.

Zhu Youxiao is no stranger to Zhou Jinyong.

"Guanhou (Zhou Jinyong's character)"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I already know about your affairs in Henan. You have done a good job. You can kill those who should be killed. You are welcome!"

"With the emperor behind the subject, the subject is naturally fearless!" Zhou Jinyong also spoke very politely.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked casually, "Where is King Zhou?"

"It's in the side hall, only to be summoned by the emperor, so it's not easy to enter!" Eunuch Wei on the side said quickly.

"Then let him wait!" Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Let's talk about government affairs first!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao paused slightly again: "Have Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei come?"

"It's just outside the door!" Wei Zhongxian said quickly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Let them in!"

After a while, Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji came to the Internal Affairs Office, followed by Chu Xingyu.

"Chen, Chu Xingyu, kowtow to the emperor!"

When Chu Xingyu saw Zhu Youxiao, he immediately bowed respectfully, while Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chu Xingyu and said, "Pingshen!"

Chu Xingyu got up, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chu Xingyu for a long time, then smiled and said: "Your name is Chu Xingyu, I remember you, but you went to Hubei to serve as governor?"

"Exactly!" Huang Liji said quickly: "Your Majesty, Chu Xingyu has done a very good job in Hubei. He has made good friends with the gentry and has never done anything wrong with the common people. He is the pillar of the country, a loyal and virtuous minister!"

Chu Xingyu just lowered his head and didn't speak.

The feeling of being praised by such a person is quite good.

But Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Oh, you went to Hubei, but did you gain something?"

Huang Liji said: "This Chu Xingyu went to Hubei to promote the New Deal. Your Majesty, this year, Hubei's tax revenue is a full 27 billion!"

Zhu Youxiao became interested and nodded: "This is a bit interesting, Chu Xingyu, let me ask you, how many people, cultivated land, and hidden households are there in Hubei now? How many hidden fields are there? In addition, those who cannot engage in agriculture How many people are there? How many farms and granaries do you plan to build?"

Chu Xingyu was stunned. At this moment, he didn't know what to say, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, minister, minister..."

He really couldn't answer any of these questions.

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "Why, I'm asking you, how many people are there in Hubei now?"

"I'm terrified!" Chu Xingyu was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice: "This, this depends on the yellow book, minister, I didn't remember it for a while!"

"Your Majesty!" Huang Liji on one side said quickly: "Chu Xingyu has been in office for less than half a year, how can he remember that there are so many clues, and it always takes two or three years to know!
"Really?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Huang Liji, and said lightly, "I don't think so!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhou Jinyong: "Zhou Jinyong, I ask you, how many people are there in Henan?"

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 9306 million people!" Zhou Jinyong said quickly: "The population has been thoroughly investigated, and there were 2107 million people in hidden households before!"

"Besides, Henan has a total of 84 hectares of cultivated land. All the land has been thoroughly investigated. There are 24 hectares of land hidden before. Now, all these lands are under the control of the imperial court!"

"Currently there are 670 special farms in Henan!"

Zhang Haogu on the side also nodded slightly. Among other things, he still believed in the ability of the administrative staff, and he also believed in the ability of Zhou Jinyong.

However, the population of Henan is now about to exceed 1000 million. In the early Ming Dynasty, the population of Henan was about 200 million, which was less than a quarter of the population of Jiangxi at that time.

Now there are more than 900 million people. However, according to Zhang Haogu, this population can still continue to increase.In the late Qing Dynasty, the population of Henan reached more than 3600 million, the highest in the history of the feudal era. This is why, because there are sweet potatoes and potatoes, and now the Ming Dynasty is also promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes on a large scale. I am afraid that the population can reach this figure.

In modern times, the population of Henan has reached more than 9600 million, with a permanent population of [-] million. With chemical fertilizers and high-yield seeds, it is naturally possible to feed such a large population on a large scale.

However, in Daming, Zhang Haogu also encouraged childbearing. If there are so many continents outside the sea, if the people of Daming cannot occupy them, should they be left to the Angsa gang?
Zhu Youxiao then asked Zhou Jinyong about the construction plan of Henan. Now the merchants have arrived, but the road has not been repaired. Zhou Jinyong came here this time to arrange a group of blasting teams to repair the road.

This requires funding from the court.

Today, the imperial court and the local government still share taxes. The imperial court takes two-thirds, and the local governments can keep one-third.

However, it also depends on the situation. Rich places take more, and poor places take less.

One question and one answer, Zhou Jinyong is obviously proficient in government affairs, while Chu Xingyu just feels his face is burning and painful, and he doesn't know what to ask.

Zhou Jinyong, on the other hand, answered the questions fluently. He even planned the construction and development of Henan in the future. In comparison, he seemed like an idiot.

"Did you see it?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Liji and said, "This is the pillar of the country, and this is the talent I need!"

Huang Liji couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, even though this is the case, it can't be generalized. Zhou Jiangyong went to Henan to kill people. Such behavior is inhumane. In addition, Zhou Jinyong still forced the King of Zhou to donate land. Isn't that true?" Put the emperor in an unjust place?"

Zhu Youxiao groaned slightly, and then slowly said: "But, I heard that this king of Zhou is voluntary!"

Huang Liji couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid it was voluntary!"

"It's easy to do that, call King Zhou over and ask if he did it voluntarily!" Zhu Youxiao said lightly.
