Early the next morning, the sky in the capital was still foggy, with light rain, with the residual chill of deep winter.
I don't know how many people tossed and turned last night, and their eyes fell on the palace - even if they knew that the emperor was no longer there.
The sky gradually brightened, the Donghua Gate was wide open, and the carriages walked out and prepared on the cold avenue.
At the same time, all the vassal kings, officials and other people who wanted to accompany Zhu Xu to the south were preparing early and slowly gathered in the direction of the palace.
Those who don't know are full of expectations, and those who know are a little uncomfortable, the emperor has long left Beijing, and now it's just for show.
It is not only them who are uncomfortable, but the officials who originally wanted to see them off now do not know whether to go or not, because the smell of 'sycophancy' is too obvious, and it is easy to provoke criticism; if they do not go, it is even more obvious, and it is easy to be hated by others.
Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and a few Shangshu didn't sleep all night, gathering in the ministry, discussing some details of the new policy.
"'Gentry tax payment' still needs to be distinguished, especially tenants must be taken into account, otherwise these will be transferred to those poor people, and the reform of the imperial court not only did not work, but increased the burden on the people......"
"Indeed, the north and the south are particularly different, the yield, the barren acres of fields, all need to be taken seriously, or the local cooperation is needed to find out the situation of the country's acres of land."
"If the gentry are levied only according to last year's tax grain, it will be inappropriate, but eight or nine are not far from ten, it is better to directly let the gentry declare, and the imperial court will send and verify the ......."
"Xia Guan thinks that this policy still needs to have cooperative measures, including re-registering the household registration and measuring the acres of land, and it should be done slowly along with the time......
Everyone is discussing word by word, except for the obvious lack of implementation of the sect, everyone else wants to take it slowly, it takes time for everything to mature, and the so-called governing of a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong didn't speak, it wasn't that they were in a hurry, it was that the emperor couldn't wait, urging them behind with whips, and they couldn't help but slow down.
The emperor painted them an extremely bright future, a bright future that was also extremely feasible.
However, there are too many difficulties and obstacles on the road, which make them hesitate and doubt, and the inertia formed for more than 200 years also makes them not want to move and settle in the present.
After a long time, Bi Ziyan saw that the discussion was almost over, and said, "In this way, the household department will formulate a policy, regarding landlords and tenants, including rent, rights and obligations, as for the specific methods for the gentry to pay taxes, first come up with a framework, which will be implemented by the Shuntian government, we will carefully observe, and then come up with detailed measures." ” Everyone nodded silently, the reason why they are here today is actually to discuss by the way, the most important thing is that 'the emperor is going out of the palace today', no matter what, they have to watch it and show it to the world.
This is a very critical moment and they must be!
Time passed slowly, Cao Huachun slowly walked out of Donghua Gate in a carriage with the emperor's logo, the forbidden army, and the Shenji battalion were all lined up, and the vassal kings and officials who accompanied Zhu Xu to the south all gathered, adhering to the principle of 'not high-profile', the convoy slowly started and walked towards the east.
Cao Huachun sat in the carriage and staggered towards the sky.
Walk in the direction of Jinwei.
King Ping was in the following carriage, closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed softly: "Let's make trouble, this king doesn't care......"
The other accompanying people also had their own expressions, silently following the carriage and leaving the capital far away.
Bi Ziyan and the others stood at the door and watched the carriage leave.
At the same time, King Xin, Wei Zhongxian, and officials from all over the country were watching from afar, although there was no emperor in this carriage, everyone knew that Wei Zhongxian would only do it after the carriage left.
An unknown storm is coming!
At noon, the temporary yamen of Shuncheon Mansion.
Chen Qiyu was entertaining the patriarchs of the four major families of Beizhili, which were Zhao, Li, Zhang, and Thursday.
These four families have a profound heritage, the ancestors can be traced back to the Taizu years, each dynasty and each generation have people into the dynasty as officials, Xuan He for a while, the most important thing is that each of their families has thousands of acres of land, and has a huge influence among the gentry.
The atmosphere on the wine table was very warm, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, like an old friend for many years, each of them was very enthusiastic.
"Lord Chen, I salute you, in Beizhili, I still want you to take care of ......"
"Yes, Lord Chen, we don't understand what the imperial court is doing now, and we don't understand it at all, and I ask Lord Chen to think more about it for us......"
"Lord Chen, drink another drink, it's easy to say, of course we will support Lord Chen's government affairs......"
Chen Qiyu drank with a flushed face, listening to their words, his mood was also high, holding a wine glass, trying his best to keep calm and said: "Okay, your support is in the heart of this official, at most two days the tax law of the State Administration of Taxation will be promulgated, this official will definitely do his best for you, and will not be embarrassed......
"If there is Lord Chen, we will rest assured, and we will contact the adults when we go back, and we will definitely support the adults......"
"That's right, that's right, drink ...... drink" The dishes were served several times, and the wine was drunk several times, and the people at the wine table were very happy, and the scene was touching.
Chen Suowen was watching in the next room all the time, his brows furrowed, and his expression was solemn.
Chinese people do like to solve troubles at the wine table, but this trouble is extraordinary, can it really be solved by a meal of wine?
The 'emergency yamen' has already sent people to ask the Shuntian Prefecture to send people to participate in the exchange of what is available, so as not to hurt the peace.
Wei Zhongxian sharpened his knife, but there was no progress on the side of Shuntianfu, especially those prefects and counties, who blindly shirked and refused to execute, which was clearly giving Wei Zhongxian an excuse!
This meal lasted more than an hour, and several people were a little staggered, still snorting wine and talking drunk, calling them brothers, and the relationship was already very good.
Chen Suowen arranged for someone to send these people back, looked at Chen Qiyu, who was almost unconscious, and frowned and asked people to help them into the house to rest.
Then he straightened his clothes, and he was going to walk around again, and those prefects and counties were already dead and didn't know it, and they needed him to dial them.
At this time, the Royal Political Yuan was holding an internal assessment, Meng Zhaoxiang, Cao Dingjiao and others were all listed, as long as they passed the examination, they did not need the imperial examination, and directly served as officials.
The students of the first two classes had already been selected and screened by the Ministry of Officials a few years ago, and seventy or eighty people from all over the country were rushing to the capital to 'transfer them to other uses.'
With the departure of the emperor's car, an extremely strange scene appeared in the capital: the high-level was tense, and the feet did not touch the ground; The bottom layer suddenly loosened, and the sky was happy.

Sky.
Jinwei, coastal fortifications.
Zhu Xu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, observing.
Beneath his feet was a concrete road, similar to the Great Wall, that meandered and aimed at the harbor.
At every distance, there were black cannons, high on the turrets, and the artillery was in strict formation.
Zhu Xu is still 'high at eye and low at hand' for the military, and the theory is a set of theories, but when he arrived at the scene, he was blind, he didn't make comments on these, Jin Guoqi is good at guarding, he came here, and it is suitable to do it.
"Are there many fishermen here?"
Zhu Xu asked, he stood on a high place, looking at the somewhat turbulent sea, and beyond was the vast expanse.
Li Bangmei, who was behind him, turned his head and said: "Originally, there were not many, because there were more and more people affected by the disaster, and there was a shortage of food, so the number of fishers continued to increase, but the life has improved a lot, and many rich families in the capital have sent people to wait here, and whenever a boat goes to sea, they will buy a lot of food, and even exchange food directly." ” Zhu Xu nodded slightly, the instinct forced by life, and said: "You have to organize, don't fight alone, pay attention to the safety of the sea, the weather, pirates, and tides can't be underestimated......"
"Yes."
Li Bangmei's demeanor is more relaxed now, the emperor is actually relatively gentle, he is not arrogant, he does not lose his temper, and his face is completely different from what is rumored.
"Wait, the cabinet will soon be in the day.
Jinwei has a county, and someone will deal with these things, so you don't have to worry too much.
Zhu Xu looked at the sea level and said, he had the heart to shoot a few shots to see, and after thinking about it, he gave up.
Li Bangmei, Chen Huxiao and others all felt that today's emperor didn't seem to be in high spirits, and he didn't show much emotion when he walked everywhere.
Others don't know, but Cao Bianjiao knows it, today is the day of the 'emperor out of Beijing', as soon as today passes, the capital will be different, without the emperor sitting in the capital, there will be demons everywhere, bandits and bandits.
Boom, boom, boom After all, it is still necessary to open fire, Zhu Xu is coming to the sky this time.
Jinwei, mainly to see coastal defense.
It was two days later, and the fortifications, on the high grounds, were full of soldiers, and some people, looking up at the exploding sea.
"Fire!
Fire!
” On the fort, an order sounded, and one after another shells flew out, exploding on the distant sea, the waves were surging, and the explosions were like thunder.
"Good, good!"
A crowd of people in the stands shouted, excited.
This artillery is a sharp weapon, and with this thing, they are safe at sea or on the road.
Zhu Xu held the telescope in his hand, watched from afar, and calculated silently in his heart.
Sky.
Not all of the Jinwei's artillery pieces were the best and most advanced, only three of them had a relatively long range, most of them were within three kilometers, and only three were four kilometers away.
Got the news from Jinyiwei, Dutch.
The artillery range of the Lan people is about 3.5 kilometers, and the Spanish and Portuguese people are weaker, and the Ming Dynasty already has an advantage in terms of range alone.
Li Bangmei put down the binoculars in his hand, approached Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, if there is a sudden invasion by foreigners, mines can be arranged on the sea in half an hour, which can buy more time for the shore, but because there are big baskets and fishermen who want to go to sea, the mines have not been arranged for the time being." ” Zhu Xu nodded, and said with praise: "Well, God.
Jinwei's preparation was still good, and he didn't disappoint me......
Sky.
Jinwei is the gateway to the Jingshi Sea, and it must not be easily opened, and it must be built with an iron wall, and no one can get in, you know?
” Li Bangmei instantly felt that the burden on her body sank, and hurriedly said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will do his best!"
” Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, and picked up the binoculars to look around.
Sky.
Jinwei is now relatively shabby, whether it is artillery, or other fortifications, it is not the best.
This is because the military department does not pay attention to it, and secondly, it is also a financial constraint, and it has to be spent on the steel blade.
Jinwei was not so urgent.
Zhu Xu acquiesced to these things, pretending not to know, he couldn't intervene in everything, otherwise the ministers would be at a loss.
