Wei Chijiang glanced at Sun Yue: "Otherwise, what about the same flower boat?"
”A few words, so that Sun Yue was completely in no mood to do anything else, he turned around and planned to tell Gui Gong that he was not coming, but he was pulled by Yu Chi Jiangwan's sleeve.Sun Yue turned his head and felt that there was something more in his hand, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a large piece of silver."
Since Brother Sun is not interested, let's go back first, I still plan to go shopping."
When the words fell, Sun Yue froze in place, watching Yu Chijiang open the curtain and walk into the cabin.Early the next morning, Tie Xi held a small court meeting in the palace.This was the first time that officials had seen the emperor in a formal setting after the Buddha worship.In the past, every time a hundred officials worshipped, Tie Xi would have a feeling of power, but today, he was not in the mood at all, and his eyes were a little strange.tired, so Tie Xi couldn't help but think of the scene he saw last night.After flattening, Wang Zhizhong and others began to play in turn, and Tie Xi listened silently.Most of the things that Wang Zhizhong played were trivial matters, and the only thing that made Tie Xi interested was the war on the Dayue side.Da Yue is not a weak country, so many years has been maintaining a strong posture towards the surrounding countries, this time the Great Song Dynasty destroyed Da Yue, so that many surrounding countries are afraid, have sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and now the envoys have arrived in Chengdu.Some of the countries that had been invaded and occupied by the Great Yue were even more concerned about whether the Great Song Dynasty could return their original territory to them.For this, they are willing to pay some price.After Tie Xi heard what Wang Zhizhong said, everyone was stunned.Is there still such a dreamer in the world?
”It's just nonsense, Your Majesty, like this lord of the country, my Great Song Dynasty should send heavenly soldiers over to teach a good lesson.Wei Chi Jiangwan was also amused by Wang Zhizhong's words, and said directly.Tie Xi also laughed, and only said after a while: "This kind of nonsense, you don't need to be in front of me in the future."
I don't have much interest in seeing these envoys, Lord Weichi, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you can arrange this matter, what do you say, I don't care, anyway, let them know that the land that the Great Song soldiers fought down has nothing to do with them, and if you have the courage, you will come and grab it, I will wait. ”Between the words of "the minister obeys the order...... he looks down on the surrounding small countries, and Wang Zhizhong is not surprised by Tie Xi's performance.Everyone in the Manchu Dynasty understands that it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to agree to this kind of request, if it was when the Great Song Dynasty attacked Dayue, they sent the letter of state in advance to help, but now they can talk about it, they don't do anything, they just want to take the land for nothing, this kind of dream talk is still left in the corner of the mouth when it is said.Today, His Majesty has inherited Tie Xinyuan's temperament that he only likes to take advantage and does not like to suffer, he doesn't care about any face and reputation, he just wants his heart.The reason why these small countries dare to make such a request is also because the central dynasties of all dynasties have given them too many good looks.It can be said that as long as the subject country gives face to the central dynasty, the central dynasty will definitely double the feedback to these small states.After this incident was over, other officials also began to play one by one, and it was all some unnutritious nonsense.After listening to it, Tie Xi found an opportunity to speak: "I came to Chengdu Mansion this time, one is to worship the Buddha, and the other is for the new tax system, now that the Buddha is completed, the new tax system should also be talked about, some time ago, the matter of Cangzhou, the reason why those people dared to assassinate the holy car is nothing more than because of the new tax system, they have determination, but they don't know, I also have." ”"The implementation of the new tax system is what I must do, who resists, hehe......
Lord Wang. ”Wang Zhizhong immediately came out: "The minister is in the ......"
"The Privy Council has verified the details of the taxes paid by the gentry of the scholars and gentry in various places in the past two years, and one tael of silver and one tael of silver will be given to me for inspection......
Kill when you deserve to. ”The new tax system of "Minister's Decree ......" is related to Tiexi's entire plan for the future.Benevolent government, sailor, fighting, everything costs money.In the entire Great Song Dynasty, a lot of wealth is in the hands of these wealthy families, if you don't attack them, all Tie Xi's words are empty words, and none of the things you want to do can be done.Tie Xi said these words in front of so many local officials today for a purpose.Many people think that the reason why the imperial court implemented the new tax system was because Wang Zhizhong, Wei Chijiangwan and Fu Ziying made it out, and today, Tie Xi clearly told people that he was the leader of this matter.Tie Xi also gave these people a chance, and if he didn't cherish it, he couldn't do anything.He didn't want to kill anyone, but there were always people who took the initiative to send their heads over, and they couldn't do it without killing.After the court meeting, Tie Xi returned to his palace.He sat in front of the Imperial Case, holding the booklet that Tobe had sorted out in his hand.It is recorded in detail that the tax revenue in Jiangnan will decline in a stepwise manner every year.Tie Xi sneered: "It's better for these people not to know each other so well, so that I can copy more people's homes." ”Tiexi knows very well that the new tax system is the real foundation for the Great Song Dynasty, and the essence is to liberate the ordinary people from taxes and make up for it by the family.This is the truth that Tie Xinyuan clearly told him in the letter.Whether a country is strong or not, the most important thing is to have money, and money never comes from the common people, but from those who lie on the court and the people to suck blood.Tiexi's southward journey this time is for the new tax system.The matter of Cangzhou City gave him a reason to do it, and in the next week, the household department gathered hundreds of people to carry out accounting, and soon, a very detailed piece of music arrived in the hands of Tie Xi.As Tie Xi expected, the gap in the accounts that did not match was very large, Tie Xi dropped the cup in front of the civil and military officials for the first time, and directly told all the civil officials headed by Wang Zhizhong that if they can't make up for it, one of you people will count it as one, and you can pack up your things and get out.The reason why Tie Xi was so angry was not because of the gap in the silver taels, but because he was frightened by the influence of the southern families in the local area, and they could manipulate officials to change the amount of land under their names.What does that mean?
Were these officials loyal to the emperor or to those families?
These officials and families are the main targets of Tie Xi's this time, and the reason why they are so angry this time is to tell Wang Zhizhong that as long as you still want to work in the position of prime minister, don't expect to please both sides.Wang Zhizhong also knew Tiexi's intentions, so the choice was very simple, the family in Jiangnan, he had to clean it up.In addition, he received Zhu Qiming and Hao Yunjie's concerts for Wajima and support for the Ryukyus, and the manpower and material resources required were all clearly written.The soldiers were divided into two routes, one under the banner of ronins to attack Kyushu Island, and the other was responsible for relieving the siege of the Ryukyus, and there was no doubt that they would all annihilate these Japanese people.The time of the operation was set for two months later, and during these two months, the officers and men of the naval division would conduct a concentrated training and survey of Wajima.The person who understands the topography and situation of Wa Island is a problem, Tie Xi thought about it, and thought that Xue Huaili, who had been to Wa Island once, was the most suitable person, and that night, Tie Xi summoned Xue Huaili to discuss, and immediately issued a holy decree to let Xue Huaili send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom.Of course, in the eyes of most people, Tie Xi is a typical grudge, and Xue Huaili was kicked out as soon as he came back.Wei Chijiang was a person who knew the inside story, so he was a little nervous.His Majesty the Emperor asked Xue Huaili to envoy to the Wa Kingdom, it could not be a simple grudge, he must have asked him to go to the Wa State to do some things.What is the matter, Wei Chi Jiangwan can also guess a rough idea.This made him feel a sense of crisis, because to put it bluntly, his original way to fortune started from the envoy to Goryeo, how Xue Huaili looked at it was so similar to his own.Moreover, this Xue Huaili is still a person who does not deal with him.Regardless of Wei Chi Jiangwan's heart, he was very busy thinking.On the second day, Xue Huaili left Chengdu Mansion with the imperial order and his entourage, went to the coast, and then went to Kyushu Island under the escort of the sailor.On the third day, the fleet arrived on the island of Kyushu.Xue Huaili's envoy this time was escorted by a sailor, so the specifications were very large, and the elite sergeants in armor, as well as the Great Song Dynasty flag flying high on the ship, made the Japanese people dare not have any extra thoughts.On the day that Xue Huaili stood on the land of the Wa Kingdom, he met Matsusaka Akiyoshi, the general of Kyushu.The latter is very short, but there is a shrewdness and ruthlessness in his eyes, after he saw Xue Huaili, he was very enthusiastic, like an old friend, and invited Xue Huaili to bring many civil officials into his mansion to live.As for the accompanying sailors, he was not so bold, so he set up camp at the port, and let the sergeants live in it, and provide good food and drink every day.The sailor sergeants who escorted Xue Huaili added up to nearly 1,500 people, and there were more than 700 muskets, such a powerful force, once it really attacked, Matsusaka Akiyoshi must also think about how he can resist it.Matsusaka Akiyoshi is very young, because his position as a general was obtained by rebellion, so the strength of the entire Kyushu is not small, so he continues to extend his power overseas, the purpose is to restore his strength as soon as possible.He also has an ambition that he has not told anyone, he wants to dominate Wajima and become the new emperor.The emperor took turns to do it, and when he came to my house this year, others didn't dare to do it, he didn't dare to think about it, but he wanted to try.In fact, he has been working towards this goal, but the arrival of the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty today gave him a sense of crisis.To be precise, when the Great Song Dynasty released the sea ban and began to build a water division, he had this feeling.The Great Song Dynasty was so powerful that even the incomparably powerful Liao State was almost wiped out by them, and the matter of Goryeo made all the generals on the entire Wa Island have a sense of crisis.
