The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 144

Suwang Mansion, His Royal Highness Su Wang seems to be obsessed with farming recently, and specially invited tenants who are good at planting from Wangfu Zhuangzi to tell him how to grow.

The large garden on Wangfu Middle Road has completely turned into a vegetable garden. Cabbage, leeks, amaranth, and pumpkins are planted on the ground, and peppers, eggplants, Chinese toon, and radishes are surrounded by a circle. Winter melon, lentils, sword beans, etc... After the arrangement of the royal family's order, they are scattered and interesting.

In the middle of the court, King Jing wrote several times asking to fight against Tatar. King Xin, who had been imprisoned in the clan mansion for more than a year and was released, tried every means to go to Zhejiang. On the sensitive point of the emperor's father, the emperor was furious in court, and he was so angry that he went back and fell ill with a headache.

King Shanjun and King Yu were two good-natured ones, they went to the emperor's Qianqing Palace to serve medicine and serve them.

It's not that King Su didn't go, but he didn't go so diligently.And every time he went to the palace, he was first recruited by his old concubine Shu, and then met the emperor's father on the way.

Every time I saw Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu always used those clichés, nothing more than asking him to help my uncle's family in Baoding Hou's mansion to find a position with real power.King Su knew that it must be his aunt, Mrs. Hou's Mansion, and Mrs. Shizi, his cousin, who had entered the palace again to cry and complain in front of his mother.

They knew that it was useless to come directly to Prince Su's mansion, so they went to the palace to look for Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu's short-tempered and confused temperament was not because the Hou Mansion believed whatever the Hou Mansion said. They always felt that their son was not dedicated enough and hardworking enough.

"Tell me about you. Both Lao Liu and Lao Jiu know to be more filial to your father. Why don't you know? At this critical moment, if you behave well, maybe your father can give your cousin Is it a good job?" Concubine Shu muttered with a very iron face, "Why don't you understand? The Meng family is good, only your mother and concubine can be good, and you can be good! What do you want from me? promise?!"

King Su dug his earwax with his little finger, and said with a careless expression, "I'm not ready yet. Whenever Father feels uncomfortable, his temper will be bad. It's not like you don't know that a few days ago, that Xu Zhaorong Because he accidentally knocked over a tea bowl in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was dismissed as a talented person. Does your son dare to mention it at this time?"

"I think you're just making excuses! You just want to break my heart, and you just don't want your uncle's family to be happy! You've grown up and your wings have hardened, don't want me as a mother! Woooooo!"

Concubine Shu was about to wipe her tears when she said that, but King Su clicked his tongue and had to agree wholeheartedly.

But he has been obsequious and contradictory too many times, Concubine Shu knew at a glance that he was fooling people, so she put down her veil and asked, "Then give me an accurate answer, when will you say it?"

Su Wang pondered, with a look of serious consideration, thought and thought again, and said: "How about this, mother concubine, when the father recovers, the son will go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to talk. It just so happens that the father is recently preparing for the construction of the Dongyang Navy. If I find an opportunity, I will say that my uncle wants to share the worries of His Majesty, and is willing to donate 8 taels of silver for the safety of the people in the Liangjiang area. At that time, are you still afraid that my cousin can find a good position in the Dongyang Navy?"

Concubine Meng Shu felt a little dazed when she heard this, what is Dongyang Navy?What 8 taels?

Wait, 8, [-] taels! ! !
"This..." she asked hesitantly, "Is it going to cost so much money?"

King Su said in a natural tone: "When the Nanyang Navy was formed, it cost nearly 200 million taels! What is 8 taels? My son estimates that 10 can only be used as a deputy captain. , if you want to be a captain, you should start with at least [-] taels."

Concubine Shu's eyes widened immediately: "Will the navy cost so much? I remember when my brother was in the Northeast, there were 20 troops, and the annual salary was only more than 50 taels!"

Su Wang laughed and said: "Mother, you still understand this! But the military salary is military salary. If you add food, horses and saddles, swords, bows and crossbows, the annual cost will not be less than one million taels! This is just the northern army. We still have 15 troops stationed in the Northwest, 10 in Liaodong, [-] in the Southwest, and [-] naval forces in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong combined. Our total military expenditure in one year will be...you wait for my son to calculate what!"

Concubine Shu panicked inexplicably, lowered her voice and asked quietly: "Son, how much money can our treasury collect in taxes a year?"

King Su thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Eight to nine million taels..."

"This..." Concubine Shu was so shocked that her hands were shaking, "If the tartar is really captured, can we live with it?"

King Su scratched his head: "I don't know, where do I, an idle prince at home, go to know so many things? The old man doesn't want to hand over the military power to me now, and this king doesn't care about that much."

Concubine Shu waved distractedly for King Su to go to his father and emperor to say hello.She seemed to be a bit out of touch with Baodinghou Mansion, she began to worry about whether the capital would be captured...

Eunuch Wang followed King Su wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

The specious words of Su Wang just now were completely used to mislead and fool Concubine Meng Shu.

The tax revenue of the Dazhou treasury is divided into two parts, silver tax and grain tax. The silver tax is indeed only 800 million to 900 million taels a year, but if all the grain tax is converted into silver taels at the current grain price, even if the harvest is not good There are almost 4000 million taels a year. If there is a good year with good weather and good weather, you can have an income of 6000 million to 7000 million taels a year.

In addition, Dazhou is a military settlement system, that is to say, more than half of the grain and grass in the border defense station are grown by military households themselves.

It's a pity that the climate in the north is cold, and the food production is seriously insufficient. Even the military settlement can only meet less than half of the food and grass requirements of the army. The self-sufficiency rate has been greatly improved.This is something that will benefit thousands of years, so Song Jianming was able to take the credit for being promoted from a fourth-rank magistrate to a second-rank Guangdong Provincial Chief Envoy.

In this way, even if Da Zhou really wants to go to war with the tribes on the northern grassland, he is not afraid, at most, everyone's life is more difficult.Besides, the interior of the northern grassland is not monolithic, and there are many ethnic groups and tribes. As long as the northern border of the Great Zhou is defended, they will fight with their own people.

Although Su Wang hadn't spent much time in the north, he had a close relationship with the Ning family of Zhenbei Houfu, and he knew some basic information quite well.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had a headache again today. He said that he drank the decoction to soothe the nerves and rested in bed.

King Su left Concubine Meng Shu and waited for two cups of tea in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He was a little impatient, and said to Eunuch Yin: "After the father wakes up, Eunuch Lao said that the king has come to greet you." Royal Father."

"Don't worry, my lord, our family will definitely convey your filial piety to His Majesty." Eunuch Yin didn't know whether it was because he was old or something, his mouth was crooked, and he smiled with a crooked mouth, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his respect. Take it for granted.Su Dynasty, he cupped his hands and left.

After going out of the palace gate and getting on the carriage of the palace, Eunuch Wang said rather annoyedly: "I think that Yin man is also an old fool. Just because he has some face in front of His Majesty, he will stop treating himself as a slave!"

King Su sighed helplessly, "Don't tell me, this king may not be able to see his father all the time, but he can. You said that if the old man deliberately stops this king from letting me see the old man, is this king Isn't it true that I can't see you?"

When Eunuch Wang heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back, and he immediately expressed his loyalty: "Not everyone is like Eunuch Yin. How Your Highness saved the servant back then, I always remember it in my heart. The slave is a dog. Even if it belongs to His Highness, I will never forget it in the future."

King Su sneered, and gave Eunuch Wang a look, "Wang Luen, why are you nervous? You have been with me since you were a child, so I can see what kind of temper you have. This king can see it."

Eunuch Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and laughed: "This servant will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

King Su shook his head, ignoring Eunuch Wang's timidity, tapped the gold-embroidered python pattern on the deep purple brocade robe twice with his fingertips on his knees, and suddenly said: "You Find a way to help me find out how the old guy surnamed Yin is in contact with the sixth and ninth sons, and Concubine Chen Gui and Concubine Xiao are also trying to keep an eye on them, this king always feels uneasy."

Su Wang remembered that Song Qingyue handed over the soap-making prescription to the Ministry of Internal Affairs through her father, and the Ministry of Households made concessions on the issue of profit distribution, which made the most numerous internal officials in the [-] prisons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now treat Su Wangfu's attitude is extremely friendly.

Things that used to take twelve minutes of effort can now be done with eight minutes of effort, which is really effortless.

King Su couldn't help feeling sorry for Li Zhao's good life.

How could Song Qingyue, such a spiritual girl, be married by that brat?

Gee.

I have to hurry up and let the little girl take care of her body so that she can give birth to a smart and fat grandson.
