Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1019: Congratulations

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Great achievements.

These four words cannot express Liu Jian's mood.

So, he used two great achievements.

But immediately, Liu Jian came back to his senses.

its not right……

He said sternly: "This is an important matter. Dozens of sergeants have escorted more than 800,000 taels of silver. What should we do if there is any loss? And what if... some sergeants are motivated by interests and flee with the money? What should we do? This is The lifeblood of the country is the foundation of the court."

Lifeblood and fundamentals, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

After all, this sum of wealth alone is enough to reverse the financial situation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

It's sad to say it, the rich folks are like crucian carp crossing the river, but the income of the national treasury is shabby.

This is also a persistent disease of Ming Dynasty.

Proprietary people hardly pay taxes, but the lowest level of civilians have to bear heavy taxes. When the country was founded, it was still able to maintain. After all, at that time, there were many small families and few gentry and big families.

But precisely because of such privileges, the gentry had more and more land, more and more concentrated wealth, and countless small farmers went bankrupt and became refugees. As a result, the country's tax revenue became less and less. level of maintenance.

Now, everyone is pointing to Dingxing County to celebrate the New Year.

Just thinking about a single county makes people feel terrible. If there are ten such counties in Ming Dynasty, the tax payment can reach tens of millions. What if there are a hundred of them? How about three hundred?

At this moment, Wang Ao's heart was shocked.

He followed Fang Jifan's "nonsense" in the past. He didn't take Fang Jifan's many absurd things seriously, but now looking back and thinking about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong.

Behind the seemingly absurdity, to some extent, is Fang Jifan really absurd? It's more like, there are too many absurd and bizarre things in this world, which set off Fang Jifan's normality.

Liu Jian said seriously: "Immediately hurry up and go to Dingxing County, so that Dingxing County will not escort the silver to Beijing for the time being, but nothing will happen. The imperial court should transfer a battalion of troops to go."

"Liu Gong, the deployment of troops...I'm afraid...you need His Majesty's will."

"Then please order." Liu Jian's eyes lit up.

The others were also beaming with joy, as if it had already been Chinese New Year.

For rich people, every day is Chinese New Year.

The poor only pointed to the full meal during the two days of the Spring Festival.

Look at that Fang Jifan, I heard that he wants a cow for a meal, isn't that just celebrating the New Year all day long?

But...why no matter what the happy event is, as soon as I think of Fang Jifan, I suddenly feel dull.

Liu Jian cheered up and waved his sleeves: "See you!"

"Let's go, see you."

Li Dongyang let go of his heart.

He, who also served as the Minister of the Household Department, suddenly had a terrible idea.

What if the new tax law is implemented everywhere in the world?

What if the whole world implements the new New Deal?

When this idea popped up, it was like Pandora's box, which couldn't be closed.

No way...too aggressive.

Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

Everyone returned to Fengtian Temple in a mighty manner.

...

Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his money was saved.

I almost let go.

I'm always soft-hearted.

But just when he breathed a sigh of relief, looking down at the running script on the case, Xiao Jing quickly raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty's running script is flamboyant, charming and not vulgar, and has profound attainments. It is really the true biography of Wang Youjun. This Wang style script The post is like the possession of Wang Youjun, and the slaves admire it, admire it!"

Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down.

"This is the thin gold body imitated by Song Huizong."

Xiao Jing: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing with a look of disgust: "Besides, I just ran calligraphy, and my heart was impetuous. How could I be flattering and not vulgar, and have profound attainments?"

Xiao Jing: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "You, learn from Fang Jifan."

Xiao Jing suddenly thought in his heart, it is time to learn, why does that kid always flatter his ideas?

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Learn from his loyalty, instead of being in front of me all day long, sycophanting non-stop!"

Xiao Jing: "..."

A terrible thought came to Xiao Jing's heart, has Fang Jifan's sycophantic flattery reached the point of being invisible, invisible and supernatural?

Your Majesty, this servant has something to say.

After all, he didn't dare to talk back, and said with a smile: "The crime of slaves is ten thousand deaths, I must learn from Fang Duwei in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

But the next moment.

Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed.

He saw outside the french windows, crowds of people coming towards Fengtian Temple.

"Here it goes again. Didn't I just say that I have no money? I'm very poor. I've done everything I can, and it's only 41.263221 taels of silver. What are they going to do? Is it? I am not easy to bully!"

Even though he said that, Emperor Hongzhi was a little flustered.

He couldn't stand the frowning looks of all the courtiers who spoke so earnestly.

Sure enough, the eunuch came in to report.

Emperor Hongzhi bit his lip: "Didn't you say I'm tired?"

"Yes, they said, there is something urgent to see."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed bitterly and put down the pen in his hand: "Let them come in."

…………

Liu Jian and others entered the hall, saluted, and shouted long live three times.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and looked at them with a livid face: "Why are you so hard to force each other? Let me say it again, I never got involved..."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Jian unexpectedly interrupted Emperor Hongzhi: "I am waiting for your Majesty to issue an order."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What purpose?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to dispatch an army horse to Dingxing County as soon as possible to escort the money and food to Beijing!"

Emperor Hongzhi was so surprised that he was almost speechless: "Why, the money and food books from Dingxing County have been delivered?"

"Exactly..." At this point, Li Dongyang couldn't help it, and was completely moved. Money, money... Ever since he concurrently served as the Minister of the Household Department, he has never had a good day. Today... he finally has enough money, he said: "This year, Dingxing County pays 820,000 taels of silver. This is an astronomical figure, Your Majesty, I congratulate Your Majesty, this Ouyang Zhi is truly a world-shocking talent, it can be said that there is no one in the past, no one in the future."

Everyone nodded with a smile on their faces.

Ouyang Zhi is really talented, stable, loyal, has the style of a general, and acts decisively. Unexpectedly, he has achieved such achievements in governing the country.

Such a shining pearl, even if it is covered with dust, cannot cover up its brilliance.

This person will definitely be famous in history in the future and become a famous minister of Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard...

He suddenly thought of what Fang Jifan had said to him back then.

Dingxing County...

All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi felt a sense of relief, and couldn't help the tears in his eyes. After all... he didn't worry about the thief.

Eight hundred and twenty thousand taels, just one county, this is definitely not a small amount.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, and said in surprise: "Oh? Is that so? Only the silver tax?" Subconsciously, he felt that this might not be a good thing. they..."

"Your Majesty." Li Dongyang shook his head: "The population of Dingxing County has increased by 80,000 households, more than 200,000 people. If it is extortionate, why do so many refugees settle down one after another? If the people can't survive, it's too late to escape. , Is there any reason for them to take effect one after another?"

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up.

Sure enough... as expected of Ouyang Zhi.

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "Only collect tax on silver. I'm afraid, as the Qing family said, this will promote industry and commerce, and the people will not be interested in farming. Will it hurt farmers?"

"Your Majesty..." Li Dongyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that his old face was very red because...he said this, and Emperor Hongzhi was just parroting his tongue: "This year, the grain production in Dingxing County has also increased greatly. Compared with other counties, it can be said to be the leader!"

Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

Perfect!

It's so beautifully done.

"Your Majesty, Ouyang Zhi has a talent for strategy and strategy. This person... can be used to great advantage!" Liu Jian was not stingy with his compliments.

He even thought that he was getting older and older, who would succeed him in three to five years, or ten years from now?

After thinking about it, Ouyang Zhi, a young man, is capable of taking on great responsibilities.

It is necessary for an excellent prime minister to assist the king in handling state affairs carefully, and it is only natural that he can recommend talents for the emperor.

In the past, I always felt that this son still needs to be tempered, but now it seems that the old man is not as good as him.

Wang Ao also said sternly: "Your Majesty, the younger generation is awesome. The old minister also thinks that Ouyang Zhi is a man of generosity, great wisdom and courage, and has become a pillar."

All the ministers nodded.

If there is one person above the temple who can get everyone's nod and approval, I think... Ouyang Zhi is the only one.

It's like, the aunts who dance in the square are not used to young people anyway, but there is a young man who is very good at disco dancing. An excellent song "The Most Dazzling National Style".

For such a young man, he can go on blind dates 1,095 times a year.

Liu Jian hurriedly presented the book.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and looked carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"This is the model of great rule of the world. I am afraid that Yao and Shun's rule will not be as good as Dingxing County when Yao and Shun are alive."

These words... are a bit insulting to the Holy Emperor.

But... what does it matter? To put it bluntly, no one has ever seen the world of Yao and Shun anyway.

In Fengtian Hall, all of a sudden cheered up.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "This is the credit of Fang Jifan. I think it was Fang Jifan who asked for the new policy. I was still vacillating at the beginning, so he proposed to let Ouyang Zhi go to try it. All the prefectures and counties in the world, If everything can be like Dingxing County, then Daming will not be far away from the great rule of the world."

It was Fang Jifan again.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Fang Jifan is my son-in-law and the captain-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. For such a great achievement, I will definitely reward him very much this time!"

………………
