Domineering Daming

Li Bangmei, who was behind her, turned her head and glanced, and said: "It wasn't many at first, but because there are more and more disaster victims and food shortages, the number of people fishing keeps increasing, but life has improved a lot. Many wealthy people in the capital Every household sent people to wait here, and whenever a boat went to sea, they would buy a lot when they went ashore, and even exchanged it for grain directly.”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, with an instinct forced by life, and said: "Organize, don't fight alone, pay attention to the safety of the sea, weather, pirates, and tides can't be underestimated..."

"Yes." Li Bangmei's demeanor is more relaxed now, the emperor is actually quite gentle, not condescending, not losing his temper, showing a completely different expression from the rumors.

"Just wait, the cabinet will soon set up a county in Tianjin Wei, and someone will deal with these matters, so you don't have to worry too much." Zhu Xu looked at the sea level and said, intending to fire a few shots, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

Li Bangmei, Chen Huxiao and the others felt that the emperor seemed not in high spirits today, and he didn't show much emotion when he walked around.

Others don't know it, but Cao Bianjiao knows it well. Today is the day when the "emperor goes out of Beijing". Once today is over, the capital will be different. A capital without the emperor will surely be full of monsters and bandits.

Boom boom boom!

After all, the cannons were going to be fired. Zhu Xu came to Tianjin Wei this time mainly to see Haiphong.

It was two days later. Inside the fortifications, there were soldiers on the high ground, and some civilians looked up at the blasted sea.

"Fire! Fire!"

On the fort, an order sounded, and the shells flew out one by one, exploding in the distant sea, the waves were surging, and the explosion was like thunder.

"Good good!"

A group of people shouted in the stands, extremely excited.

This artillery is a sharp weapon. With this thing, they are safe no matter at sea or on the road.

Zhu Xu held the binoculars in his hand, watched from a distance, and silently calculated in his heart.

Tianjin Wei's artillery is not all the best and most advanced, only three have a relatively long range, most of them are within three kilometers, and only three are beyond four kilometers.

According to news from Jin Yiwei, the range of the Dutch's artillery is about 35 kilometers, while the Spaniards and Portuguese are weaker. In terms of range alone, the Ming Dynasty already has an advantage.

Li Bangmei put down the binoculars in her hand, approached Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, if there is a sudden invasion by foreigners, mines can be deployed on the sea within half an hour, which can buy more time on the shore, but because there are big baskets, there are also fishermen. To go into the sea, the mines have not been deployed for the time being."

Zhu Xu nodded, and said with some compliments: "Well, Tianjin Wei's preparations are pretty good, and I haven't been disappointed... Tianjin Wei is the gateway to the capital's sea, and it must not be opened easily. Can't get in, you know?"

Li Bangmei suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders had been lifted, and said quickly: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely do my best!"

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, and picked up the binoculars to look around.

Tianjin Wei is relatively shabby now, whether it is artillery or other fortifications, it is not the best.This is because the Ministry of War does not pay attention to it, and secondly, financial resources are tight. Tianjin Wei is not so urgent to spend on steel blades.

Zhu Xu acquiesced to these things and pretended not to know. He couldn't get involved in everything, otherwise the ministers would be at a loss.

Chapter 605

The next day, the General Administration of Taxation promulgated the simple rules for "gentlemen's taxation". At the same time, it also strictly stipulated the relationship between tenants and landlords, especially the rent, which was drawn out as a bottom line and a floating space.

At the same time, the cabinet and household department ordered Shuntian Mansion to take the lead in implementing the decree, and sent the decree directly to Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shuntian Mansion.

Chen Qiyu has carefully studied this policy of the imperial court, and knows the importance of it. In his heart, he really wants to complete it, but the difficulty is also proportional to it.

These days, in order to be able to implement this policy smoothly and collect taxes and grains smoothly, it can be said that he has worked hard, but with little effect.

He vomited from drinking the day before yesterday, but the patriarchs of those big families turned their backs in an instant. The people he sent were politely drunk and sent back, but they got nothing else.

Chen Qiyu and Chen Suowen sat opposite each other. On the table were the imperial edicts of the cabinet and the "Detailed Regulations on Taxation and Grain" of the General Administration of Taxation. Item, this item will definitely hurt those gentry and landlords.

"My lord, the lower officials have decided on some matters and regulations regarding this year's summer crops. Please take a look at them." Chen Suowen said, and handed over a text.

Chen Qiyu had been worrying about this matter for a month, so she glanced at Chen Suowen and took it over to look through it.

Looking at Chen Qiyu, he frowned. Chen Suowen's written statement was based on some plans of the "New Deal", such as surveying the number of acres, estimating taxes and food, secretly checking the population, etc. These are still preparations for summer food. In the future, it is planned to register household registration in Beizhili, measure land, and so on.

Xia Liang is imminent, and any action will irritate those big landlords and squires. Chen Qiyu looked at it for a long time, then pondered: "If you have half a year, your methods are still good, but now it is too late. The prefects, county magistrates and squires all over If you refuse to implement the new government policy, the means you and I can use are very limited..."

Chen Suowen naturally knew it too, but he said firmly on his face: "My lord, Wei Zhongxian has summoned enough cavalry, if we can't finish it ahead of time, to prevent Wei Zhongxian from messing around, once he intervenes, the consequences will be unpredictable, even the Shuntian Mansion may not be able to deal with it." Get that mess!"

Chen Qiyu's brows have not been loosened recently. He has a deep understanding of the so-called "the road is long and obstructed". There is no turning back when you open the bow. Neither the court nor the Shuntian Mansion can retreat in the slightest!

"If it is absolutely necessary, we can only..."

Before Chen Qiyu finished speaking, an officer hurried in, raised his hand to the two of them and said, "My lords, Young Master Chen please see me."

"Mr. Chen?" Chen Qiyu was slightly startled, he would not be able to think of the corresponding person for a while.

Chen Suowen was taken aback, and said, "You mean my son Renzhong?"

The officer said: "Yes, Mr. Chen is asking to see you outside."

Chen Qiyu would also agree, Chen Zilong, the son of Chen Suowen, is a famous person.

"Please come in." Chen Qiyu was more tolerant towards the juniors, and often supported them.

Chen Suowen looked down and didn't speak.

His son is excellent in both knowledge and character, but his personality is extremely stubborn, and no matter how much he believes, he will not bow his head no matter how much he persuades him.

At first they participated in Yingshe, then Fushe, and now they even set up a "non-official academy" to show their nobility and clean style to the world. This caused shock in the government and the public, and many adults were quite critical. Having offended Shihlin enough, Chen Zilong may not be safe until now.

Naturally, Chen Suowen's appointment as governor of Shuntian Mansion was also a kind of compromise from the imperial court as a gesture of favor.

Chen Zilong has a dignified appearance and elegant demeanor, and his every move is a model of a scholar.Coupled with his outstanding talent and learning, he is quite prestigious in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although he has experienced the blows of Fushe and suffered a little setback, he is still full of spirits now. He walked in, smiled and raised his hands freely and said, "Student Chen Zilong has met Mr. Chen and met his father."

Chen Suowen didn't know that Chen Zilong was coming today, so he raised his father's majesty and said with a calm face: "This is a government office, so you can come here casually. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we go back."

Chen Qiyu was curious and didn't stop him, just looked at Chen Zilong with a smile.

Chen Zilong got up and said loudly to Chen Suowen: "Father's words are wrong. The court's every move is related to the common people in the world. Even if the child can't make a contribution, he should have some qualifications to speak."

Chen Suowen felt bad when he heard the words, just about to reprimand, Chen Qiyu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about these things, it's very valuable to be in the world of Jianghu, you can tell me why you came here today?"

"Students come here to relieve adults' worries." Chen Zilong held a folding fan in his hand, patted it lightly on the palm, and smiled calmly.

Chen Suowen became more and more uneasy, and directly reprimanded: "Presumptuous! How can you let a child with a yellow mouth interrupt the important military affairs, go back immediately, and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Chen Zilong was unmoved, and looked at Chen Qiyu with a smile.

Chen Qiyu was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is this official worried about?"

Chen Zilong shook the fan with his right hand, and said decisively: "New Deal, Tax Reform, Grain Tax, 'Gentlemen Pay Grain'!"

With a sullen face, Chen Suowen kept signaling to Chen Zilong.

Chen Zilong kept looking at Chen Qiyu, turning a blind eye.
