The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"Master Zhou, why don't we cooperate this time?"

"Hmph, don't even think about it!"

"Don't refuse, listen to my analysis: I will meet your Majesty with you, and we will each have a half chance to report to His Majesty first. If I report first, then you will have no chance, and if we cooperate, we can completely share If you win, you don't have to fight to the death."

"Hmph, Yang Tinghe, don't forget, you just stole my plan!" Zhou Yongchun was a little furious when he mentioned this.

"Haha, it's up to you, who made you so careless." Yang Tinghe said unabashedly.

"Damn!" Zhou Yongchun was so excited by Yang Tinghe that his blood rolled.

The two did not reach a consensus.

Soon they came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the two waited for almost half an hour until they arrived in Jiajing.

"Tell me, two Aiqings, what do you have to do with me?" Jiajing was impatient.

"I have something to announce!"

Yang Ting and Zhou Yongchun spoke in unison and took a step forward at the same time.

Jiajing watched playfully, and finally pointed to Zhou Yongchun: "Zhou Aiqing, let's talk first."

This voice was like a fairy sound, and Zhou Yongchun bowed down excitedly: "I have come up with a good way to get 200 million taels of silver out of thin air, which is enough to add a lot of majesty to His Majesty's longevity banquet!"

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen's method lies in the outer city of the capital, where there are hundreds of thousands of people and merchants, and the economy is prosperous..."

Jiajing narrowed his eyes, a flash of anger flashed.

At this time, Zhou Yongchun was full of energy and spirit, and his words were impassioned: "When the emperor Taizu was in power, the treasury was in short supply, and the barbarians in the north were expelled to the far north... After Yingzong came to the throne, Jiang Wan, the Marquis of Dingxi, asked to build the outer city of Beijing. It is said that Emperor Taizu set up the base in Nanjing, and built an earthen city outside the capital to protect the residents, which is the foundation of eternal life. Today, Beijing only has an inner city and no outer city. Unfortunately, changes have taken place. Then the court discussed Chiang Kai-shek. When Wan played the book, he said that the battle of building the city should be held on the day when the soldiers and civilians leave their households. Therefore, the construction of the outer city was put on hold for more than 60 years..."

The more Jiajing listened, the more angry he became. Isn't this Yan Aiqing's remarks?Good you Zhou Yongchun, you dare to use Yan Aiqing's memorial, I want to see what kind of flowers you can play.

Zhou Yongchun didn't know Jiajing's anger yet, but seeing Emperor Jiajing listening carefully, he thought that Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied with his memorial.

So, his voice became more excited.

"My minister has a plan, which is to mobilize the officials of the staff department and the household department to clean up the people and merchants in the outer city one by one. All the people will pay 5 taels of silver per household, and all the merchants will pay 300 taels of silver per shop...WeChen Waicheng The population has been calculated... so... so... In the end, Your Majesty, you can get 200 million taels of silver!"

"The common people can get land and houses with land certificates, and don't have to worry about someone forcibly occupying them in the future, and His Majesty can get 200 million taels of silver out of thin air, a win-win situation!!"

After saying this sentence, Zhou Yongchun was about to be very excited.

What he didn't know was that ten thousand grass and mud horses rushed past in Jiajing's heart at this time.

Is this your good way?

Jiajing looked at Zhou Yongchun's appearance of asking for credit, his face was red, and then he thought about Yan Song's haggard appearance.

Moreover, the methods of the two are simply incomparable.

Zhou Yongchun's method is simple and crude - pushing it over and forcibly pressing for payment, which may arouse public anger at that time. Wouldn't the name of a 'tyrant' and 'dizzy monarch' fall on his Jiajing's head?How will future history books judge him?

As for Yan Song's method, although it has not been finished yet, Jiajing has already seen the benefits from it, and many parties have benefited from it. The common people and merchants have obtained a better environment, and they don't have to worry about the entry of Altan Khan; and Jiajing has obtained more money; as for the six departments The management of the outer city will be more standardized...

Comparing the two sides, Zhou Yongchun's method is rubbish!And Yan Aiqing's method is simply divine!

but……

"Haha~~ Okay, Zhou Aiqing is right." Jiajing laughed and praised Zhou Yongchun.

Zhou Yongchun was greeted with such a smile by Jiajing, and he was instantly refreshed as if drinking nectar!

Jiajing smiled and said, "Zhou Aiqing, tomorrow will be the first time to go to court in the new year. You will make the plan in detail and propose it at the court meeting tomorrow."

Zhou Yongchun was excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best!"

Jiajing laughed: "Zhou Aiqing, you did a good job, what I want is such a capable minister!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Yongchun was speechless, crying with excitement.

He didn't see the grimness that flashed in Jiajing's eyes.

Chapter 52 Surprises one after another [1]

Zhou Yongchun received the Jiajing Award, and he was naturally high-spirited and proud, and began to fantasize about the same treatment as Yan Song.

He glanced at Yang Tinghe coldly, his eyes full of provocation.

Yang Tinghe's heart was full of unwillingness. Zhou Yongchun really snatched this opportunity. Judging from Jiajing's happy appearance, it is estimated that Zhou Yongchun's position as the elder of the pavilion did not run away.

Yang Tinghe was full of jealousy, but on the surface he could only pretend to be smiling.

Jiajing looked at Yang Tinghe at this time: "Yang Aiqing, I don't know why you are looking for me?"

Yang Tinghe was a little unwilling at this time, gritted his teeth, and said directly: "I actually want to offer a method to Your Majesty, but I didn't expect it to be similar to Lord Zhou's method..."

Yang Tinghe pretended to be regretful, but in his heart he was just trying to grab credit.But... He didn't know what was in Jiajing's heart, so he slammed into Jiajing's trap instead.

Jiajing was even more angry in his heart, but on the surface he nodded with satisfaction: "Yang Aiqing is also good, both of you are good, so let's go to court tomorrow, and you two will state separately. Whoever's plan does well, whoever's plan is used, will be credited. Whoever it is."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Ting and Daxi were almost moved to tears.
