Chapter 162 Jane is in the heart of the emperor (second update, please subscribe, please support)
20 shi of grain, is that much?
Not much to say.

In the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Caoliang had a quota of 400 million shi.

Beigang has to pay 20 shi of grain, which is equivalent to one-twentieth of the country's grain grain.

Not really much.

But let alone Feng Quan, or Emperor Tianqi, after hearing about this incident, his first reaction was unexpectedly.

"This kid is stupid."

It's not that I'm stupid.

There is only a quota of 400 million grains in the country, but if you look at the grains borne by each province in detail, the 20 shi is not much. Of course, it is not as good as Nanzhili, which has a particularly serious grain burden, and has to bear 1791430 shi , Accounting for 44% of the total grain grain in the country, while the grain grain in Shandong province is only 24 shi, which is not even comparable to the 697000 shi in Nanzhili, a prefecture in Suzhou.

In other words, Beigang, a place that doesn't shit, actually has to pay 20 shi of grain. Of course, it will be handed over ten years later.Five years later, only one hundred thousand stones will be handed over.

"This person is really a child!"

After discussing for a while, Emperor Tianqi said such a sentence.

He said so in his mouth, but he thought about it in his heart.

If there were more "children" like this in the world, it would be easier for him to be the emperor, and he wouldn't have to play tricks with them.

"Is that really what he said?"

Tian Qi was a little skeptical. These people must have deliberately deceived him because he just came back from overseas and didn’t understand anything. If so, it would be untrue.

"Returning to the words of the emperor, he said every sentence himself. On the way back to Shanxi this time, he saw many refugees who lost their homes due to disasters and were left in other places. He couldn't bear them to starve. So many, I thought of the old rules of farming in the early days of the country, and wanted the imperial court to allow farming in Beigang. If 10 people can farm, after ten years, they can pay 20 shi for grain..."

"This stupid boy..."

Before Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Tian Qi scolded.

"I really thought I didn't need to eat. I gave all the food to the court, and he went to drink the northwest wind by himself..."

When scolding that "foolish boy", Tian Qi couldn't help sighing again.

"If all the ministers of my Ming Dynasty were like him, why would the state affairs be like this?"

Thinking of the state affairs since he succeeded to the throne, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help shaking his head, how many fools like this in the Ming Dynasty really existed.

The Ming court couldn't tolerate such a person.Moreover, such a person is not suitable to stay in the Ming court.

Thinking to himself, Zhu Youxiao said again.

"Wei Zhongxian, I said I wanted to see him a while ago, just these two days, let's find a chance to meet him. After all, he always has to go back to Beigang, so it may be difficult to see him in the future."

Although he hasn't met Shi Yiwen yet, Zhu Youxiao has a good impression of that boy in his heart, not only because the food he donated made the imperial court win the battle in Liaodong, but more importantly, because Zhu Youxiao Since the school took over the throne, he has never encountered such a pure and kind minister.

Such ministers always have to see each other.

The emperor wants to see!
To Shi Yiwen, this was indeed a bit of a surprise, but although it was a bit of a surprise, he was too curious about the so-called "Carpenter Emperor".

After all, in history, the rhetoric about Emperor Tianqi is full of contradictions. Some people say that he is a "carpenter emperor" who does not care about political affairs, while others say that he is very intelligent, and that Governor Yuan boasted about "Seven Strategies for Ping and Liao Dynasty". "At that time, he used six rhetorical questions in succession, all of which proposed seven strategies aimed at Yuan Chonghuan. Facing Yuan Chonghuan's memorial, the questions he had were, if he really wanted to farm, how to distinguish the work of soldiers and farmers, how to do farming, How to train, how to save money and so on.

Faced with what Yuan Chonghuan said to promote farming, Houjin would surrender or be defeated by the Ming Dynasty, but Tianqi believed that Houjin could not surrender, and even if he surrendered, he could not believe it.Moreover, he himself believes that it is impossible to negotiate peace or allow Hou Jin to surrender, and the war will definitely be won, but victory should not be lightly talked about, and the implication is to be prepared for a hard fight.And point out, do things down-to-earth, and change according to the actual situation, you will receive miraculous results.

Is the emperor who is so clear-headed a "fool"?

It was with such curiosity that Shi Yiwen entered the palace under the guidance of the internal officials, no, he attended the Grand Court Meeting with other officials.

The court meeting was very early, and Shi Yiwen got up in the middle of the night yawning, and then rode a horse, led by a servant with a lantern, and walked towards the imperial city.

Along the way, I met many officials along the way, but there were no acquaintances, so naturally no one chatted, but some people looked at him curiously, and when they saw him riding a horse, their eyes were full of contempt. Civil officials looked down on generals, yes Daming followed the rules set by Yu Shaobao, how were these rules determined?It was set with the head of a general.

Well, by the way, historically, in a few years, Governor Yuan will still use Mao Wenlong's head as proof.

But right now, they just look down on it.

Of course, along the way, I also met many people sitting in sedan chairs, but they must all be senior members of the third rank or above.

In the early Ming Dynasty, officials were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs because Neo Confucianists believed that it was not good to use people as animals, so they established this rule.But once Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di died, no one cared about it, and more and more officials violated the system. Later, it was simply stipulated that those who were above the third rank could sit in sedan chairs for court meetings.

In fact, other officials still sit in sedan chairs now, but they don't sit in sedan chairs to go to court.

In fact, according to his rank, Shi Yiwen has the right to be a sedan chair, but...he is a military officer.

Military officers are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs. This is a rule. Why do military officers have to abide by this rule? Yes, this is a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Shi Yiwen rode the horse according to the rules.Therefore, as long as you watch him ride a horse, you will know his identity. In fact, under normal circumstances, generals would rather walk than ride a horse. Why?
It's too eye-catching.

Of course, this does not include the honored ministers, those honored ministers who have retired with the country, of course they are qualified to be sedan chairs.

When I came to the gate of the city to check the cards and enter the imperial city, although I bought a ticket to enter the Forbidden City in the past, but now the feeling is different, Shi Yiwen inevitably feels very fresh and excited.Although in his heart, the emperor is just the emperor.

But it is not easy to meet the famous "Emperor Carpenter".

While waiting for the court, Shi Yiwen met a few acquaintances, such as the assistant minister Feng Quan. Of course, they were of different ranks, and at most they just held hands and greeted each other.

There were not many people participating in the early court, and there were not many, there were almost a hundred people, but this was already a rare big scene. After all, since Hongwu, more and more officials were absent from work, and it became normal not to participate in the court meeting. Sometimes the emperor Come, not even a few ministers came.

However, unlike Wanli, who has not been in court for decades, Zhu Youxiao, the "carpenter emperor", has nine early morning courts every three or six nine times a month, and basically will not be left behind. The emperor is diligent, and the ministers naturally have to support him Bar.

Wearing the official uniform of a general from the third rank, Shi Yiwen stood silently among the officials, feeling his first court meeting. It was different from the TV series. There was no eunuch shouting "play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do".

Instead, the drum class played music, and the officials of Honglu Temple announced the entry into the class, and then proceeded to salute and play.

What did Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting in the dragon chair, do in the morning court?It is to listen to the affairs that have been handled by the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies yesterday - there is even a script in front of the emperor, and even the lines are prepared.

All the so-called major national affairs were mentioned by cabinet ministers and ministers in the court meeting. Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, only had to answer according to the script and express his position.As for officials like Shi Yiwen, they are nothing more than flattering themselves.Of course, for small officials and officials, this is also an opportunity for them to see the sky, and they can show off to future generations in the future. What to show off?Of course it's your grandfather. I discussed matters with the emperor's old man back then.

Of course, the more important thing is to tell the folks that he has met the emperor and discussed state affairs with the emperor.

He certainly wouldn't say that the so-called discussion of the country is just sticking there like a stake, listening to the results of the decision made by the bigwigs long ago.

To be honest, in such an early court, it's everyone's turn to want to go.

That's it?Is this the so-called court meeting?

Yiwen didn't know about its implementation. The court meeting two years ago was a lively event. The officials impeached Zhang San today and Li Si tomorrow, but now...it's finally quieter.

In fact, some people praise the eunuch party not because only the eunuch party works, but because in the era of the Donglin party, the party struggle between the Donglin party and the so-called "cliques" such as the Chu party and the Qi party made the Ming court unable to do anything. .why?I agree with what the enemy opposes, and I oppose what the enemy agrees with, regardless of right or wrong. In this case, what can be done?

Even the emperor Zhu Youxiao, a carpenter, said that "the affairs of Liaodong were destroyed by the imperial court", whether the eunuch party was corrupt or cruel, at least, after the Donglin party was overthrown, the people who did things would have no constraints.Just like the Chongzhen meeting, whether it was a peace negotiation or a southward relocation, there was no result after arguing and arguing, and what happened in the end?The Ming Dynasty was over in such a quarrel.

Pity……

But for Shi Yiwen who was going to court for the first time, he felt a little pity, why?Wouldn't it be a pity that I didn't have the chance to witness the majesty of Daming's mouthpiece.

But thinking about it, now that Wei Zhongxian is eyeing the "rebellion case" to deal with people, who would be so blind and come to his door to die?

But, it's actually boring.

Just when he was bored in every possible way, Zhu Youxiao asked suddenly.

"Where is Shi Yiwen?"

Hearing this, Shi Yiwen immediately stepped forward, bowed with a wat and said:

"The minister is here."

In order to go to the court, Shi Yiwen specifically asked if he wanted to kneel down, but the eunuch rolled his eyes, how could he kneel while holding an ivory wat board?Is it possible to insert the wat board into the ass?

The kneeling ceremony of three knocks and nine bows is only done when offering sacrifices to heaven.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile:
"Shi Yiwen, I heard that you brought a new gadget, please tell me about it in detail."

All the ministers reacted differently when they heard the words, some sighed inwardly, and some cast envious glances at Shi Yiwen, this... Jane is in the emperor's heart!
