Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 27 Zhu Yuanzhang: I don't believe it, I want to go on tour in subdued clothes!

Zhu Yuanzhang announced his withdrawal from the court.

However, He Gui and his son were left behind.

In addition, Xu Da was also retained by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly: "I ask you again, so much silver, is it really not the people's wealth and wealth that the King of Qin looted?"

"No!" He Gui replied firmly.

"How did you get so much money from a barren land in Lingnan?" Zhu Yuanzhang was almost crazy at this time.

First, it was distrust of his son.

After all, the misdeeds of the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty are too numerous to mention.

He Gui replied: "Since King Qin entered Lingnan, he built roads and bridges, and used thunderous means to quickly collect the people of various tribes. Then he vigorously built Panyu County and developed textiles. Therefore, the emperor can see that in Lingnan, the agricultural industry The tax is 38 taels, of which 28 taels are from silkworm households. In addition, when the King of Qin opened up maritime trade, three-tenths of the commercial tax was taken, [-]% of which was turned over to the state treasury, and [-]% went to the Qin Palace to continue to be used to build ports, docks, and expand trade. ."

Therefore, Zhu Ping really earned all this money based on his own ability!

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't tell whether he should be happy or surprised for a moment.

and many more……

"You just said that the commercial tax of these 92 taels of silver is only [-]%, and the other [-]% has entered the Qin Palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang grasped the key point.

"Yes!" He Gui said: "The King of Qin has ordered that if the emperor asks, answer truthfully."

"Bastard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry: "Then why doesn't he get [-]% and I get [-]%?"

In a hurry, he is in a hurry.

Because the current Daming is short of food and wages.

The war in the north is not over yet!

The national treasury is in deficit every year, and the money is used for war, and the rest is unknown where it has gone.

Now the hole is getting bigger and bigger, and I am worried about where to get money.

As a result, a chicken that can lay golden eggs suddenly appeared in my house!
Why don't you collect all the money?
However, since Zhu Xi asked He Gui to say this, he naturally had a way to deal with it.

He Gui replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin withheld taxes to build a port. Now it is just a Kowloon port, which is not enough. There are also shipyards that need to be built, and the money spent is probably tens of millions. So, these Money must be spent. Because in the future, His Highness the King of Qin estimates that Lingnan will receive more than [-] million taels in commercial taxes alone every year!"

"Thousand... ten thousand?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only so little tax revenue per year!
However, just one commercial tax in Lingnan can offset the entire country?

This is too exaggerated!

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, calmed down, and signaled He Zhen to take his son and leave quickly. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would run away... After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and asked Xu Da: "Tiande, what do you think about this matter?" Is it true or false?”

Xu Da shook his head and said: "I don't know. However, given the nature of King Qin, if he really has such talent, why bother... Oh, this is the emperor's family matter, so I can't say more. However, I feel that hearing it a hundred times is better than seeing it once."

"You mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

In the harem, a eunuch came to announce the good news: "Queen, great joy! Your Highness, King Qin, has ordered someone to send the Queen a birthday gift. 30 taels of silver are being put into the treasury! In addition, there is a treasure, which is with the emperor. Oh, this is King Qin. A letter from His Highness to the Queen.”

Another letter?

Counting the days, he should have received the reply to him last time.

Empress Ma accepted the letter in relief, suddenly remembered something, and asked the eunuch, "What did you just say? How much...how much silver?"

"The 30 taels of silver are a birthday gift from His Highness King Qin to the Queen. There are also 30 taels of silver that King Qin gave to the Emperor. King Qin is really filial!" the eunuch said with a smile.However, Queen Ma's expression changed. Holding the letter in her hand, she pulled Xu Miaoyun and said, "Let's go, follow me quickly."

"Queen, what's wrong?" Xu Miaoyun looked confused.

"This child actually gave so much money. With the Emperor's temper, he must have thought that this was what he obtained from plundering people's money. When the time comes for an imperial edict... I don't dare to think about the consequences! We must stop the Emperor." Empress Ma couldn't help but say, He took Xu Miaoyun directly to the door and met Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then it was discovered that Xu Da was also there.

The reaction of the monarch and his ministers did not seem to be as intense as imagined.

The blood coral is also placed next to it, so you can see it at a glance.

"Queen?" Zhu Yuanzhang wondered: "Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, the second child..." Queen Ma said hurriedly.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted her and said: "I know, queen, don't worry, I am not angry... Tiande, how are the account books?"

Xu Da shook his head and said: "There is no problem... Your Majesty, it seems that King Qin really worked hard to govern Lingnan before he achieved such results. It is unbelievable that in half a year, he actually increased Lingnan's tax revenue hundreds of times!"

"I don't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes!"

But Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Queen, I plan...to go on tour in micro-clothes and go to Lingnan!"

He really didn't believe it.

Unless I see it with my own eyes, I don’t dare to think that all this is true.

because……

It’s too shocking!

Things decided by Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be changed.

It's just this person...

Xu Da glanced at his daughter, and then frowned when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him and the queen to follow. The queen said that she needed someone to take care of her, meaning that she wanted to take Xu Miaoyun with her.

Is this a private visit in an incognito service, or is this a way of sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

"Queen!"

Xu Da hastily said: "My young daughter, you can go with me."

Then Xu Da signaled Xu Miaoyun with his eyes and told her not to go to Lingnan. Naturally, Xu Miaoyun could only listen to her father's words.

However, she felt like she had lost her soul.

Later, she walked out alone, holding a letter from Queen Ma in her hand. As soon as she opened it, her eyes lit up, and she directly found the cheat sheet without looking at the front.

It says: Thank you for your encouragement, I will also be diligent in government affairs.Since arriving in Lingnan, I have been alone. Every night, I miss my lady so much that I can only write "The Story of the Stone" to distract myself. When I think that you like to read it, I feel neither tired nor sleepy. Everything is worth it. Please wait patiently. Good news, my ambition and love have never changed.

Seeing this line of writing, Xu Miaoyun suddenly felt her heartstrings being plucked.

Although between the lines, Zhu Xi only briefly described his life and did not describe it in depth, but it is this faint feeling that makes people feel more empathetic and more aware of his determination.

It turned out that he wrote the book to distract himself from his thoughts.

And his love for this book is the motivation for his creation!
Everything makes sense.

It's natural and reasonable.

For the first time, Xu Miaoyun ran back and picked up paper and pen.

After thinking for a long time, I finally wrote a line on the paper: Please take care of yourself!
