my brother-in-law is the prince

Although there are reservations about the attitude of the New Deal.

But Xia Yuanji admired Taiping Mansion's accounting method very much.

Now, the amount of money and food from the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province has been sent.

Xia Yuanji and Hu Guang are both interested.

The two immediately began to watch. Hu Guang looked at the number with tears streaming down his face, and felt dizzy and didn't quite understand.

So he frowned and urged: "Duke Xia, Duke Xia... how much is it?"

"Don't worry." Xia Yuanji said, "I'll take a closer look."

After watching another stick of incense, Hu Guang stared straight at Xia Yuanji: "Is there any result?"

Xia Yuanji murmured: "Wait a little longer."

After another full cup of tea time, Xia Yuan Kichicai let out a long breath of foul air and beamed with joy: "The number is out."

"How?" Hu Guang stared at Xia Yuanji, looking extremely nervous.

"The effect is remarkable. The grain tax has increased by 17%, and the silver tax... last year was 31 taels, this year... a big increase, and now it is [-] taels, haha..."

Natsuhara Yoshiki smiled.

The silver tax has increased by nearly [-] to [-] percent. If this is the case in all eighteen provinces, then it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been very effective.

Although compared with last year's Taiping Mansion, it is still far behind, but this growth rate is appalling.

Hu Guang finally exhaled a foul breath, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "So... can I finally give an explanation to the world?"

Xia Yuanji said: "It is an explanation to Your Majesty. If the Zhejiang chief envoy is like this, other chief envoys don't know what to do. I firmly believe that parents and officials everywhere must be able to understand righteousness, and the gentry and scholars in the world can also understand Knowing the painstaking efforts of the old man, the so-called people gather firewood, and whether the seeds of reading can survive depends on today."

Hu Guangdao: "What Duke Xia said is very true. It is still Duke Xia's chess victory, which makes people admire."

Xia Yuanji smiled wryly and said, "Hey, if it weren't for being forced to this point, why would you have made such a bad move. Mr. Hu, I'll see you next."

"Look at me?" Hu Guang looked at Xia Yuanji with a puzzled expression.

Xia Yuanji Su Rong said: "As you said, if you don't create momentum, how can you let the world know that the gentry and scholars in these prefectures and counties are also sympathetic to the imperial court?"

After hearing this, Hu Guang understood it immediately, opened his eyes slightly, and said solemnly: "Understood, don't worry, Duke Xia, this matter is on me."

Hu Guang went back home and went to Wenyuan Pavilion the next day.

Excitedly, he went to find Yang Rong first.

"Mr. Yang, do you know..."

"You don't need to talk about it, I've heard a little bit about it." Yang Rong smiled.

Hu Guang beamed and said: "I didn't expect that your news is so well-informed! You see, this Zhejiang chief envoy has achieved such remarkable results, no less than the New Deal. In other words, the New Deal of the Taiping Mansion is nothing special to me. I, the chief political envoy of Zhejiang, can still bring forth the new through the old."

Yang Rong said: "Don't Mr. Hu think it's too much?"

"How can you call it too much? I don't think it's enough. With such outstanding political achievements, everyone in the world will pay attention to it. After all, Taiping Mansion is a small place. Adding some money and food, it looks really beautiful, but after all... it's just a corner of the land. Well. But the chief ministers of Zhejiang, or even the eighteen chief ministers of the world, are so huge, if they all grow like this. Yang Gong, let me ask you, isn’t this also a new deal?”

Yang Rong just smiled and said nothing.

Hu Guang sullenly said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, I still have important things to do."

Immediately, he went back to his room, writing vigorously, and in a short while, this eloquent memorial was completed in one go.

After that, he ordered people to be sent to the palace immediately.

Under normal circumstances, the Grand Scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion would not write a letter in person, after all, they could interview Tianzi Chen for anything.

And once the book is written, it will definitely attract the attention of people all over the world.

This memorandum on the achievements of the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province naturally caused an uproar in the government and the public.

As a result, more people couldn't help clapping their legs and applauding after reading the performance through the Dibao.

Within a few days, hundreds of officials came forward one after another, all of which praised the benevolent measures taken by the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province. Through enlightenment, not only increased the money and grain of the government, but also enabled the people in the prefecture and county to live and work in peace and contentment without any influence. .

This is nothing more than a relief to the officials who have been hit by the New Deal and are still extremely depressed.

Now, the current situation is very different from what it was before. The court and the central government have gradually realized the benefits of the New Deal. After all, they are all human beings. At this time, it is a bit insulting to their IQ to still cling to the old law.

The New Deal is good, it has become a consensus, the difference among everyone is...is there nothing wrong with it?
Yes, the radical ones, willing to accept the New Deal in its entirety.

But the vast majority of ministers, although they also verbally agree, are not reconciled.

After all... their family really has land.

So everyone had no choice but to keep silent. Anyway, if you say the New Deal is good, he will keep silent, and if you say you are against the New Deal, he will not say anything against it.

But now, the Zhejiang chief envoy has made remarkable achievements, and suddenly these people who are soft on weekdays have become fierce and vigorous.

So a snowflake-like memorial was sent up, all of which praised the chief envoy of Zhejiang.

Jiang Xiu, the chief political envoy of Zhejiang Province, became one of the most capable officials in the world all of a sudden.

Those who ask for credit for it are like the crucian carp crossing the river.

At the court meeting at the end of the month, the officials put on a posture.

Zhu Di was promoted to the seat, and the prince Zhu Gaochi sat sideways obediently and listened to the government.

Zhang Anshi is also here, but he is like a wandering spirit, thinking about his own thoughts.

Zhu Zhanji repaired the river very well, but Zhang Anshi was obviously not reconciled to this. How much work has he done? Next, where should he be put to hone?

In fact, Zhang Anshi most wanted to send Zhu Zhanji to the boat, and send him directly to the sea to have a glimpse of the world.

But...it was clear that the stakes were too high for him to take the responsibility.

Just when Zhang Anshi was full of entanglements, he lowered his head to think and ponder.

After all the ministers shouted long live, someone said impatiently: "Your Majesty, Jiang Xiu, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, has made outstanding achievements. I heard that he governed in Zhejiang Province, and the people in Zhejiang Province were all convinced. The characteristic of his administration is tolerance. The common people are all grateful to him, and the minister thinks that... for being so virtuous, he deserves a great merit, and I, Guan Zhong of the Ming Dynasty, should be promoted, so that the imperial court clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments."

The first to speak was a Hanlin attendant.

As soon as this remark came out, many people nodded in agreement.

Hu Guang's face was even more red, and he seemed to agree with this.

This Jiang Xiu, of course, should be praised well, after all... this is also a kind of ethos, once a person who can greatly increase his income like this can be promoted, then other people will naturally follow suit.

This is called standing wood for faith!

Zhu Di was quite relieved by this.

He has read the accounts, and it has indeed increased a lot. This is a [-]% increase, which is very rare.

After all, Zhu Di doesn't expect that everyone's parents are a guy like Zhang Anshi who can make money.

So Zhu Di said: "Then I will issue a decree."

At this time, Xia Yuanji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if it is just a letter, I think... it is really inappropriate. Why don't you...call back to the capital and commend him face to face...Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments. How can such a meritorious minister be underestimated?" I have heard about Jiang Xiu for a long time. He has a clean sleeve and was a Jinshi during the Hongwu period.

Zhu Di frowned: "Then according to Qing's words, I have paid less, so what reward should I give?"

Xia Yuanji thought for a while and said, "Now the chief envoy of Zhejiang can't do without him for the time being. Why don't your majesty give him the crown prince's junior teacher to add color to him?"

After hearing this, all the ministers nodded secretly.

The chief envoy is the third grade, but it is a real job.

But the prince's young teacher is a false job, but he is a second grade.

There is a lot of know-how here. Generally, adding a title of lesser teacher or lesser teacher after the actual position is equivalent to upgrading the chief envoy by a level. It seems that it is just an increase in salary, but at this time, Daming , There is no tradition of giving magistrates empty positions.

Only the capital officials, such as the Wenyuange Grand Bachelor, and various ministries and halls, would bestow such titles.

Obtaining this, not only raised the level of a false position, but also, the chief envoys of the world are all of the third rank.

But Jiangxiu, the chief political envoy of Zhejiang Province, is the second rank, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one political envoy in the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, the local government often announced the political envoys, and the punishment was assigned to the procuratorial envoys. Both commanded the envoys to divide powers and governed a province. The three are of equal grade.

And once the chief envoy is a second-rank official, it means that within Zhejiang, the position of this chief envoy is more "reckoned" than the other two.

This precedent was set, and the person who was the first to receive the favor would naturally benefit the most, and the future of Jiang Xiu would be even more in sight.

Maybe in a few years, it may not be impossible to transfer to a minister.

After Xia Yuanji said it, many people said: "Your Majesty, I also think that... it is very appropriate to do so. If everyone follows Jiang Xiu, why should I worry about not being able to prosper?"

"My minister agrees."

Hu Guang stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, bestowing Jiang Xiu with such honor is the imperial court's hope that the world's chief ministers can follow Jiang Xiu as an example. There is nothing wrong with it."

However, Zhu Di hesitated and said: "The increase in money and food is indeed quite a lot. It can be regarded as a reward. Is it against the ancestral system?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but want to curse.

You, Zhu Laosi, have the nerve to say that you violated the ancestral system?

Some people even subconsciously took a look at Zhang Anshi, the king of Wuhu County who was standing not far from the prince.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Zhu Di coughed and said, "However... it's really hard work to be able to collect so much money and food."

"Your Majesty." Xia Yuanji corrected Zhu Di: "It's not because money and food are collected, but because of hard work, it's a model not to harm the soldiers and civilians, but to increase the money and food every day."

Xia Yuanji felt that this matter still needs to be clarified, if not, everyone in the world will learn from Jiang Xiu in order to increase money, if he becomes a cruel official, then the sky will be angry and people will complain.

The distinction here must be made clear. Jiang Xiu's achievement lies in the premise that the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province has collected more money and food under the premise that it is still stable.

Zhu Di nodded his head and said, "Is there anyone who has any objections?"

Zhu Di looked at the ministers.

The ministers were silent.

Zhu Di smiled, glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing, why don't you say anything today, aren't you good at talking normally?"

Zhang Anshi smiled wryly. He is also cautious in his words and deeds on weekdays. When did he give His Majesty such an impression?
Zhang Anshi deliberated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, is it too heavy to give the crown prince a junior teacher just for a little more money? If in the future... the same is true for other people, wouldn't it be that the whole world is full of young teachers, young guarantees, and young teachers?" ? I think... it's better to be more cautious."

Zhu Di laughed.

However, Zhang Anshi's words caught everyone's attention.

Jealousy, this must be jealousy!
Xia Yuanji stood up very bluntly, and said with a red face, "His Royal Highness, today, isn't it also because of the success of the New Deal and his outstanding achievements?"

He bit the word king of the county very hard.

You, Zhang Anshi, are the first king with a different surname in the world. How did you become king? Do you want everyone to recall it?

Zhang Anshi couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't say no to Duke Xia."

So he begged for mercy, thinking it was boring.

Its turn is so fast that it can be called France.

Zhu Di blew his beard on Zhang Anshi, this guy Zhang Anshi...has no manliness!
Under the expectant eyes of the ministers.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and said: "What Zhu Qing said is not unreasonable, since that's the case...then... just follow Xia Qing's words."

Both Hu Guang and Xia Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief. Now... finally... there are measures against the New Deal.

Judging from His Majesty's attitude, it seems that he agrees with Jiang Xiu.

It can be seen that if there are other ways to satisfy His Majesty, the new policies of these eighteen provinces may be wiped out in the bud.

So everyone praised His Majesty's sage.

With a wave of Zhu Di's hand, the court was dismissed.

Zhang Anshi is very popular, and he gets along physically with the ministers on weekdays.

But today, his brother-in-law is here, so he has no time to talk to others.

As soon as the emperor Zhu Di left, he obediently stepped forward to help his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi out of the palace.

Zhu Gaochi is even fatter now, and he is out of breath after walking a few steps, and he doesn't look very good. At his age, plus obesity, it is conceivable how weak his body is.

Zhang Anshi has deep feelings for Zhu Gaochi, so he said with concern: "Brother-in-law... you have to pay attention to your body."

A look of grievance quickly flashed across Zhu Gaochi's face, and then he lamented: "This palace has already been humiliated, so don't add fuel to the flames."

Zhang Anshi was speechless, he was at a loss for words.

Zhu Gaochi complained: "Father ordered people to go to the East Palace to be the cook, and urged me to go on a diet. The meals I eat every day are not as good as children. Those eunuchs who are in charge of the kitchen are really meticulous. They stare at me all day long, and I am trying to survive No, I can’t ask for death.”

After all, I was dejected.

Zhang Anshi knew a little about this matter, and there was indeed such a record in history.

It is rumored that Zhu Gaochi in history became the emperor, and he did not hold grudges against others, even those who offended him, the prince, in the past, he still did not blame the past.

The only ones were the cooks in the East Palace, who should have been sent by Zhu Di to supervise Zhu Gaochi, but Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth with hatred, and took care of these cooks before he was enthroned.

Zhang Anshi could only show a wry smile, well, he can't do anything about it.

"Is there anything to eat?" Zhu Gaochi carefully looked left and right, and then whispered: "You have to find a way to send some, so that no one can see it."

Hearing his brother-in-law's pitiful voice, Zhang Anshi almost agreed, but he took a serious look at Zhu Gaochi's figure by mistake, and said: "Brother-in-law, if you become obese like this, you will get seriously ill, and I'm afraid you won't be able to recover by then. You'd better take it easy."

He knew that his prince brother-in-law didn't have a long lifespan, Zhu Gaochi died within a few months after Zhu Di passed away.

Zhang Anshi was quite worried. He hoped that his brother-in-law would live longer. After all, that kid Zhu Zhanji... might not seem very conscientious.

Zhu Gaochi sighed quietly: "I am born like this, what can I do? You don't know very well, I can only eat twice a day now, and each time I eat, it is no more than half a liter. Hey, I am so miserable."

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said: "Brother-in-law can grow flesh after drinking cold water?"

Zhu Gaochi said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Anshi kept his head silent, and began to think about something in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi was full of hunger now, so he said: "Tomorrow...you come to see me in the East Palace, remember to sneak me some food."

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't help but say, "Okay."

But I didn't expect it, after a pause, Zhu Gaochi seemed to remember something, but said again: "It's all right. I'm afraid it will be very hard for you to run back and forth. Ben Gong should bear it, you have a heavy responsibility now, Qi Xia It's not that close to the Eastern Palace..."

Hearing what his brother-in-law said, Zhang Anshi felt even more distressed, and said, "It's okay, anyway, I have nothing to do these few days."

Zhu Gaochi looked at him strangely and said, "Why is nothing wrong?"

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Let the people below do everything, and give them the opportunity to hone themselves."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

After a long time, Zhu Gaochi said: "No wonder Zhanji has lost weight. It is said that the affairs are complicated and there is a long way to go."

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Anshi, and he laughed dryly.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Anshi returned to his county palace.

In the mansion, Gao Xiang has been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Anshi took off his python robe, and his servants changed him into a Taoist robe that was as thin as a gauze, let out a comfortable breath, and then ordered herbal tea to be served, and said: "It's very hot, it's so hot! Lao Gao, why are you here again?"

Gao Xiang blushed, it sounded like he came here often?
But thinking about it carefully, on weekdays, he does move around more frequently.

At this time, he smiled and said: "Your Highness, the matter of Xia Tax..."

"Xia tax?" Zhang Anshi suddenly became more energetic, and said, "How much can it increase this year?"

Gao Xiang said: "It may be far beyond the expectations of His Highness and the officials."

Zhang Anshi became curious, raised his eyes and asked, "Why is this?"

Gao Xiang said: "After I got to know about it, I realized that the incident was very sudden... Your Highness, can I ask for a drink, alas, this terrible weather..."
