Chapter 63 Hacking You Lemon Extract (Please follow up!)

Imperial City, Thousand Steps Corridor.

The six yamen are here.

At this time, within the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites gathered in the main hall of the yamen, and everyone looked ugly, as if they had eaten arsenic and were waiting to die.

The news that Zheng Yi was deposed by the emperor last night has spread.

According to Lao Zhu's habit, if the helm of a yamen is dismissed, there is a high probability that the other officials of this yamen will suffer, and they will be liquidated to some extent.

Demoting an official and releasing him to the outside world are all considered light, and I'm afraid that his life will be lost.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Guan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. As for the left servant, after hearing the news of Zheng Yi's dismissal last night, he reported illness overnight, saying that both legs were limping.

Huang Guan, who was watched by everyone, looked calm and composed.

Starting from the number one scholar at the age of 27, and now only 34 years old, it took seven years to become a third-rank high-ranking official in the scarlet robe.

Ordinary people would think that to occupy such a high position at such a young age, one must be proud and show pride in his gestures.

In fact, Huang Guanduan was sitting in his seat, with a humble smile on his face all the time, but deep in his eyes was firmness and rigor that ordinary people don't have.

He is rigorous in his studies, pays attention to the theory of the times, and does not pursue superficiality. This is the evaluation given to him by history.

"When you are on duty, please abide by your duties."

Huang Guanning said.

He didn't call these people together, they all took the initiative to gather in the main hall of the yamen.

As soon as the words were finished, eunuch Xiaobao, who ran to the third place today, led the proclaiming team into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the yamen were stunned, their faces ashen, and they had even thought about what to use for the coffin boards and where to bury them.

"The order to supervise the country has arrived."

As soon as Xiaobao's voice came out, all the officials knelt together, with Huang Guan at the front.

"Join, Huang Guan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his wife, Weng Shi, is named the first-rank wife."

"Chin this."

After announcing the decree, Xiaobao handed the decree to Huang Guan who was kneeling on the ground, turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to react.

I thought I could finally go to the Imperial College!
I love learning, learning makes me happy!
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites realized that they were not implicated, they all heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at Huang Guan, burning hot.

The new boss, naturally wanted to curry favor, and someone immediately stepped forward to help Huang Guan who was about to stand up.

Huang Guan, who is the person involved, frowned, and was gently pushed away by someone in the future. He is only 34 years old, and he needs help when he gets up?

What's more, the two hairs that came to help him are gray.

For the promotion, Huang Guan was naturally happy, but still not arrogant, he glanced at the officials behind him.

"My lords, each performs his duties."

This time, all the officials did not dare to slack off in the slightest, they all said, "I obey orders", and hurried back to their respective classrooms.

Huang Guan returned to his classroom, frowning slightly.

He frowned because of his wife.

If he is promoted to Minister of Rites, his official position will be the second rank, but his wife will be the first rank wife.

Such things have never been seen before.

After thinking about it, Huang Guan wrote a thank you form eloquently, then got up and left the yamen.

According to the etiquette, he had to go to Taisun's mansion to thank him.

at the same time.

Within the yamen of the household department.

Xia Yuanji, who didn't go home last night, was frowning and looking at the snowflake official documents on the table. These were the financial situation of the chief secretaries across the country.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The chief secretaries in various places have suffered financial losses to varying degrees.

In the past, Xia Yuanji was only in charge of Zhejiang's finances, but now he has been promoted to the second in command, and Yu Xin has completely delegated power to him, so he can naturally see the financial situation of the whole country.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wars raged, the people were in dire straits, refugees fled everywhere, and the economy collapsed.

The Ming Dynasty was established on this basis.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, because of the emphasis on agriculture in Lao Zhu's bones, the taxes on farmers were extremely low. Under such a powerful policy, the country quickly recuperated and its national strength gradually recovered.

However, everything started in the 15th year of Hongwu and changed.

Xia Yuanji looked at the finances over the years. Since the 15th year of Hongwu, various disasters have occurred frequently all over the country, and the frequency has increased year by year, which directly led to a sharp drop in tax revenue from the treasury.

In the 31st year of Hongwu today, it is even more stretched.

And judging from the drought and heavy snow at the beginning of the year, this year should not be a good year.

Xia Yuanji frowned. As the chief steward of the Ming treasury, his core task was to increase the treasury's income.

Raise agricultural taxes?
This method is not desirable.

Frequent natural disasters have made it difficult for farmers to survive.

This kind of practice is just to cut off one's own arm, which can solve the crisis of the moment, but not the worries of the whole life.

Think for a moment.

Xia Yuanji brought up the pen and ink before the case, and wrote a word on the blank notebook.

'business'.

Lao Zhu's national policy was to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and severely suppressed businessmen. In the early Ming Dynasty, the share of industrial and commercial tax in taxation was extremely low.

Xia Yuanji dared to think about this, it was really bold.

If Lao Zhu knew that he dared to extend his ideas in this direction when he was rich and vigorous, there was a high probability that he would be dragged out and cut in half.

........................

Taisun Mansion, in front of the mansion gate.

Two luxury carriages with two horses arrived at the front of the mansion, one on the left and the other on the right. Even the sword guards guarding the mansion stood at attention when they saw the carriage.

Xu Huizu stepped off from the carriage on the left, and Li Jinglong stepped off from the right.

The two got out of the car at the same time, looked at each other, and were slightly taken aback, obviously they didn't expect to meet each other here.

Because of the whole army this time, Li Jinglong was left alone, so the relationship between the two was a bit stiff.

The main reason was that Li Jinglong was unhappy. Xu Huizu didn't want to have a bad relationship with Li Jinglong. After all, both of them were the governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and they were both the second generation of the top nobles in Ming Dynasty. They even snatched the old Wang's bride together when they were young.

Their father, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong under the old Zhu's command, were both famous generals in the world, so Lao Zhu also placed great hopes on the two of them, and their official positions soared all the way.

"How did you come?"

Li Jinglong asked first.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has a call, and he should ask me about the three major battalions of the army."

Xu Huizu said noncommittally, in fact, he was not sure what it was.

It may be about the entire army, or it may be about my younger sister's marriage.

"Hehe, then I would like to congratulate Xu Dadu in advance. Now that he is the head of the five armies and the future brother-in-law of His Royal Highness, it is better to wait for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne and directly restore the old system to establish the Dadu Mansion. Your big brother-in-law is named a great governor, that's called prestige."

Li Jinglong's words were stinging, Xu Huizu frowned and subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand.

This action made Li Jinglong frowned instantly.

He stared at the Yanling saber in Xu Huizu's hand, it was obvious that the saber was carried on purpose.

Xu Huizu also looked at the knife in his hand and smiled coldly.

If he didn't know the reason why His Royal Highness asked him to carry the knife before, he might know now.
