In the East Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun and a group of pavilions were sitting upright, listening carefully to Yang Dawei, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the Wuzhai Fortress.

Compared with the previous few days, the cabinet ministers in the Dongnuan Pavilion have basically arrived, showing the importance of the emperor and ministers to this matter today. Among these people are the chief minister of the cabinet and the Minister of Personnel Shen Shixing, the Second assistant is the Minister of Rites Xu Guo, the Minister of Revenue Wang Lin, the Minister of War Shi Xing, and the Minister of Works Zeng Tongheng. They are all kilin robes made of big red ramie silk, first-class court robes, with large collars and slanted collars, loose sleeves, and a fancy crane soaring in the clouds on their chests.

In addition, the cabinet chief Shen Shixing wore a nine-python five-clawed python robe with a jade belt on his waist. This python robe is similar to the dragon robe worn by the emperor. It was not included in the official uniforms, but was given to the eunuchs and prime ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Obtaining such robes was considered a great honor. Shen Shixing was given to the python robe in the 13th year of Wanli.

Of course, in addition to these cabinet ministers, there was Liu Shouyou, the governor of the Jinyiwei in a flying fish suit, next to him. At this time, his face was full of joy. A few days ago, on September 1, the harvest of Wuzhai Fort caused controversy among the cabinet ministers in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and it also quickly spread to the outside world. In these days, it had already caused a lot of discussion among the officials in the capital.

Everyone's first reaction was incredible. In this year, the mainland prefectures and counties were in a bleak and cold military fort, and there was a great harvest. Everyone felt that they could not believe it. For a time, the matter of Huang Laifu, a thousand households of Wuzhai Fort and Wuzhai Fort, became a hot topic among the people. Even the censors and civil officials in the capital stopped attacking the natural disasters of Emperor Wanli. Everyone followed their own tricks and asked people to inquire about the direction of Wuzhai Fort to find out what was going on.

Liu Shouyou, the governor of the Jinyiwei, was naturally more concerned about the matter of the Five Village Fort, because a few days ago, several cabinet ministers openly questioned themselves in front of the emperor, which was already related to his future. Yesterday, as soon as Yang Dawei arrived in the capital, Liu Shouyou called him to question him. At this time, he knew it and his expression was very relaxed. He could not escape the comments of this subordinate who was able to do things well.

At this time, in the East Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun was in a very happy mood. While listening to Yang Dawei's statement, he looked at the expressions of the cabinet ministers from time to time. Seeing that everyone's faces were different, his heart was secretly happy.

After Huang Laifu's affairs were confirmed, if there were still censors and civil officials saying anything about natural disasters, he would not be polite and directly gave the civil officials a look with the excuse of incompetence and dereliction of duty. So, under the same natural disaster situation, Wuzhai Fort can have a great harvest, while the fertile land in the mainland has no harvest. What are their faces to call?

He looked at Yang Dawei who was talking at this time. This was a rough and honest middle-aged man. He was sitting on a small brocade bed and depicting everything in Wuzhai Fort in a very nervous tone. From Huang Laifu's land reclamation to a great harvest, all kinds of things, no matter how big or small, they were all about it. In addition, Yang Dawei also talked about the large animal farm of Wuzhai Fort. He said that at most, Wuzhai Fort would be full of pigs and sheep, and it would be another scene, which attracted the attention of everyone in the pavilion.

Yang Dawei's words were simple and had no gorgeous tone, but because of this, they were more convincing. For a while, the pastoral and hot scenery of Wuzhaibao made several cabinet ministers yearn for a while.

Finally, Yang Dawei said: "This is the situation of Wuzhaibao that we have seen. There is also a local song. I heard that it was written by Huang Laifu, a thousand households of Wuzhaibao, which appropriately depicts the local situation."

"Oh." Emperor Wanli was very interested and said, "Huang Laifu is a talented person. He can also write songs. What kind of song is it? Can you sing it?"

Yang Dawei said a little hesitantly: "When I am fine, I will hum a few lines, but... I don't sing well, I'm afraid that the emperor will laugh at the ministers."

Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "It's okay, just sing, no one will laugh at you."

Yang Dawei said with a blushing face: "Then the weal minister sang."

He stood up, imitated Liu Yumei's appearance, set off his pose, opened his mouth, widened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and sang loudly: "The fragrance of flowers in the flower basket, listen to me sing, sing. Come to Wuzhai Fort, a good place, a good place, a good scenery, crops everywhere, pigs and sheep everywhere... In the past, Wuzhai Fort was everywhere, there were barren mountains everywhere, and there were no people. Today, Wuzhai Fort is different from previous years, and today, Wuzhai Fort is different from previous years. It is no longer the same as before, but the good Jiangnan in northern Shanxi..."

Yang Dawei sang so hard that he screamed. With that look, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but laugh. Several cabinet ministers also looked at each other and smiled. Even the eunuchs on duty and the palace maids next to him secretly covered their mouths and laughed.

After Yang Dawei finished singing, he just stood awkwardly and said timidly: "I know that the emperor and the ministers will make jokes."

Emperor Wanli held back his laughter and said, "You sang well, sit down."

At the same time, he had an idea. From Yang Dawei's words and the strange song of Wuzhai Fort, it can be seen that the affairs of Wuzhai Fort are absolutely true. The proud and beautiful scenery in the song is also heartfelt intoxication. This made him wonder why Wuzhai Fort can produce so much food, and in the near future, there will be harvests all over the ground, and there will be countless silver and money.

The three palaces near the capital, Ciqing Palace, and Cining Palace, had a total of hundreds of hectares of land, and they were all fertile lands, but the grains of the year were arrears. Even when the weather was good in previous years, the annual silver and money inputs at the highest level of the three palaces were only 7,282 taels, one cent, eight cents, five cents, one tiny and two tiny, which was really far from the Wuzhai Fort.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun suddenly noticed whether he should send someone to Wuzhai Fort to check out and check the reason for the harvest of Wuzhai Fort. Also, I heard that the small thousand households in Wuzhai Fort would vigorously reclaim the wastelands of Wuzhai Fort and surrounding military forts this year. Maybe he could...

After Yang Dawei sat down respectfully, several cabinet ministers exchanged glances with each other. The chief minister of the cabinet Shen Shixing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the incident of the Five Villages Forts is true. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. The old minister here congratulates the emperor. Just wait for the memorial of the local Ministry of Revenue officials in Shanxi Town to come up. Huang Laifu, a thousand households of the Five Villages Forts, can be vigorously commended, and be an example for local garrisons and officials."

Emperor Wanli said lightly: "Of course."

Zeng Tongheng, the Minister of Works, who was nearly 60 years old, was very interested in the various flood trucks of Wuzhai Fort described by Yang Dawei.

The Minister of Works Zeng Tongxiang was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing. He served as the head of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel Wenxuan, the Ministry of Personnel Wenxuan, the Ministry of Personnel Wenxuan, the Ministry of Personnel Wenxuan, the Ministry of Personnel Wenxuan, the Ministry of Personnel Wenxuan, the Right Deputy Censor, the Taichang Lai, the Minister of Works, and the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel. Zeng Tongxiang was relatively honest and paid attention to saving expenses. When he was the Right Minister of Works, he supervised the construction of the Empress Dowager's Shou Palace, saving more than 300,000 taels of silver. When he was the Minister of Works, Zeng Tongheng managed finance, supervised construction, and tried his best to save funds. He refused to pay for all improper expenses. In the 33rd year of Wanli, Zeng Tongheng retired and returned home. He died two years later at the age of 75, and was given a young security guard, which was "congratulations".

At this time, he carefully interrogated Yang Dawei for a while, especially the flood trucks in Wuzhai Fort that Yang Dawei mentioned just now, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the reason why Wuzhai Fort has a good harvest is that it is because of these kinds of water trucks. He draws deep water from the ground, and even in the deserted years, he also irrigates the farmland. The old minister begs the emperor to issue an order to order Huang Laifu, a thousand households in Wuzhai Fort to pay tribute to various water trucks and drawings craftsmen, to promote the world and benefit the people of all over the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "Authentication!"

Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the cabinet, looked at each other. Wang Lin said: "Just just heard Yang Qianhu say that the Wuzhai Fort has 430,000 shi of grain this year. It just so happened that the military towns of the military towns near the Wuzhai Fort are not collected. I asked the emperor to collect the grain of the Wuzhai Fort to help the local military towns."

In recent years, the Ministry of Revenue has been in short supply. On June 14th this year, Wang Lin also requested: "Due to the severe famine last year, several shipments were exempted, and the annual income was only more than 339 taels. The number of outputs was more than 1 million taels higher than the number of income. Lai Laoku issued 1.8 million taels of silver. This year, the number of investments was no less than 4 million taels. In addition to the issue, the warehouse was only more than 400,000 taels and the old warehouse was only 1.7 million taels, so how can the expenses be paid? There is still more than 1 million taels less. Today, the sharp cave has been exhausted and there is no source of opening up. As the annual income is less and the annual income is increasing, the redundant staff should be severely severed and redundant staff should be eliminated and saved expenses..."

He believed that the need to remove redundant staff and save expenses, such as some officials with salary from Jinyiwei, the translator of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, the general affairs, and the preface class. The kitchen staff of Guanglu Temple, the craftsmen of various supervisory bureaus, the establishment of the leaders of the second party outside the nine borders and the supply and expenses of the host and guest market rewards, etc., should be regarded as their urgent and gradually eliminated, and save money as a way to make money.

However, his suggestions were strongly opposed by all parties, and they were finally left alone. Over the years, he had been very worried about the financial affairs. Seeing the harvest of Wuzhaibao, he naturally thought about the collection of grain. Although the harvest of Wuzhaibao is now undecisive, it still cannot have a decisive impact on the Ming Dynasty. If you want to collect grain, you can't collect much. However, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is still meat? For the money from the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Lin decided to sacrifice his life. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in to www.qidian.com.
