Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

Jia Wan's Ji Ji ceremony was held under such circumstances.

In addition to Mrs. Xing occasionally revealing her guilt towards Xing Xiuyan when she was behind her, even Jia Qi put this cousin who was like Zhaolu behind her.

Before Jia Qi cared about Xing Xiuyan, it was entirely for the sake of her mother, fearing that her mother would be criticized for her incomprehensible behavior, so she gave Xing Xiuyan clothes and accessories.In fact, Jia Qi and Xing Xiuyan haven't even met each other, and they don't know what this cousin looks like.

Of course, it is impossible for such a cousin to leave anything in Jia Qi's heart.

Compared with the dead Xing Xiuyan, Jia Qi cares more about Jia Wan's family rituals.

Jia Qi knew very well that last year when Jia Yue passed the Ji ceremony, he and his third elder brother Jia Cong hadn't yet participated in the scientific examination, and Jia Lian was only a co-prefect of Tongzhou. Apart from the face of his ancestors, the family had no say in the court at all, let alone No portion.Jia Yue's Jiji ceremony had so many guests, it was all because of the face of the ancestors and Lin Ruhai.In other words, last year Jia Yue's Jiji ceremony was nothing more than an empty shelf.

But today, with Jia Wan's Jiji ceremony, these guests are the future contacts of their family.

This is also the reason why Jia Cong and Jia Qi deliberately showed up at Jia Yue's Jiji Ceremony, firstly to prepare for the imperial examination, and secondly because of such a grand occasion, they don't know if there will be a second time.

This year is different.This is because Jia Lian has been promoted this year, and Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, as long as he does well, he will be promoted.As for the water conservancy project in Tongzhou, Jia Amnesty did not know how much effort was behind his back, and even Lin Daiyu's Lin family's power was tilted towards Tongzhou.

It can be said that Jia Lian completed in one year what others need two or three years to complete.And it cannot be copied by others.

Based on the water conservancy project in Tongzhou alone, Jia Qi can be sure that Jia Lian will be promoted.

Jia Qi also believed that many people in the court could tell.

Looking at today's guests, you can see that today, Jia Wan's Jiji ceremony, the four cabinet ministers and six ministers all came, and even the Privy Council, the left and right privy envoys did not come, and the left and right privy envoys came with their families .

There are six servants, all who can come.

These ministers secretly nodded at Jia Cong and Jia Qi's performance, but when they saw Jia Zheng, they wanted to leave in a huff.

It's not that they don't understand etiquette, but Jia Zheng's behavior is really ridiculous.You said that last year, Jia Cong and Jia Qi brothers were both young children, and they actually paved the way for their own future in the name of asking for advice. Although this behavior is very utilitarian in terms of later results, as parents Yes, who doesn't show off children?Not to mention that Jia Cong and Jia Qi were 12 and [-] years old last year. It is really human nature to show off.

However, this year, after the two candidates passed the examination, they immediately became more stable. Although the ministers' examinations, they all answered with their mouths open, but they never talked too much, and they did not show how good their knowledge was. The etiquette is all for the comfort of the guests.

In contrast, Jia Zheng's behavior of pulling people around to discuss poetry is annoying.

If Jia Zheng is not an official at the moment, or if it is Jia Baoyu who is pulling people to discuss poetry at the moment, maybe everyone will be more polite, but Jia Zheng is already an official, and he only knows how to discuss poetry with others. Nested in the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, unable to move.

If Jia Zheng was discussing official affairs with others, or not to mention such simple poems, maybe everyone would think highly of him.However, as an official, Jia Zheng never mentioned official duties. If he talked about learning, he didn't mention classics and history, but only mentioned poetry...

Poetry and prose may be a shortcut to becoming famous for the middle and lower class scholars, and a way to seek recommendations from officials, but for officials, poetry and prose are just a pastime in their spare time.Who knows that reciting poems and composing Fu doesn't care about official duties all day long?When the imperial court pays you a salary and a salary, it is for you to work and do practical things, not for you to sit in the yamen with money and recite two crooked poems every day.

Jia Zheng never received practical work, only received salary and did not work. The Ministry of Industry has long been dissatisfied, but the official next to him was given by the Supreme Emperor, so everyone can only ignore it.

Jia Zheng's behavior annoyed several ministers, even Jia Amnesty was very tired.Just when Jia Amnesty saw that he couldn't bear it any longer and was about to ask someone to drag Jia Zheng down, the emperor in civilian clothes and his two younger brothers came.

The emperor and these two princes really came in through the side door in casual clothes.In order not to reveal his identity, the emperor even used a pseudonym.

However, everyone in the Jia family has a pair of rich eyes, and the members of the Jia family have even cultivated a pair of piercing eyes. Judging the identity of someone from other people's clothes and accessories is the housekeeping skill of these members.

The clothes worn by the emperor are made of superior materials, and within the same regulations, the materials used in the upper class are indeed not as good as those used by officials.This is because a wise emperor would not deliberately ask for good things, because once the emperor asks for one, the officials below may ask the people for one hundred or even one thousand or ten thousand, just like "Zhizhi" said: this kind of thing.

Therefore, things that are used by officials are often inferior to those used by officials. This is an unspoken rule in officialdom.

Putting it in other people's homes, Menzi saw that the clothes of these guests were not made of official materials, and he was afraid that he would think that they were uninvited wealthy businessmen, and anyone with higher eyesight would drive them away.

But the members of the Jia family, especially the members of Jia She's family, don't know this unspoken rule.Looking at the demeanor of these people, as well as the followers who followed, these disciples immediately understood:

Hey, which prince is this here in person?

The Jia family and the family of the four princes and eight princes are all old relatives, like the prince of Beijing is already in it now, and these few don't look like kings with different surnames, but rather like serious royal family members!

Immediately, a servant hurried in to report, and Lin Zhixiao came trotting all the way, nodding and bowing to welcome these distinguished guests into a very clean side hall, and entertained them with good tea, wine and food. Coincidentally, Jia Qi After eating a lot of wine, he retired to change clothes, and Jia Qi came over immediately after Lin Zhixiao's notification.

Of course Jia Qi recognized the emperor.

Although five years had passed and the emperor had gray hair on his temples, his eyes were still bright, not much changed from five years ago.

Jia Qi neatly bowed down to the emperor three times and kowtowed nine times, and then met the two princes according to the ceremony.

In any case, although King Yi and King Hu are not brothers of the same mother and compatriots as the current emperor, their relationship with the current emperor is different from other princes. two.

Even if the relationship between these two is so-so with the current emperor, it is not something that Jia Qi can offend or be disrespectful. After all, these two are the sons of the Supreme Emperor.

Seeing Jia Qi saluting himself, the emperor also had a special feeling in his heart. After Jia Qi finished the salute, the emperor couldn't help sighing: "Little thing, after five years of separation, you will grow up better."

In the emperor's impression, Jia Qi was still that little doll who ate like a hamster.But who would have thought that this little doll, who was only ten years old this year, would pass the Juren examination?

From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the present, how many ten-year-old Juren have there been?

The emperor has a young son, who is about the same age as Jia Qi, but grows thin and tight.

The emperor's three eldest sons were all raised as heirs of the virtuous king's family, and they did not meet the standards of princes or even heirs to the throne. This little one looks smart, but who knows if he can grow up.

Therefore, when he saw Jia Qi for the first time, the emperor was attracted by this energetic little doll.

He is healthy and smart, and knows how to protect his parents and brothers.

It would be great if this were my child.

Even King Yi said: "Yeah, who would have thought that the little boy who sued the imperial court and asked Long Live to help clean up the slaves has now passed the exam?"

Jia Qi was in a hurry about getting married. Seeing this, he immediately climbed up: "Long live, I have no choice but to be forced. If I don't make progress, my good daughter-in-law will fly away."

"Oh?" The emperor immediately got excited, "Let's hear it."

Jia Qi said: "Long live, my daughter-in-law is the only flesh and blood of my aunt left in this world. When my aunt left, the court helped clean up the Lin family's belongings, and my wife's dowry shocked the government and the public a lot! If someone else, see The marriage between me and my daughter-in-law was signed before my aunt's sick bed, so I knew it should be stopped. But some people just think that if her daughter becomes a concubine, she can give her son and my wife a marriage. My daughter-in-law has not been able to sleep well in the past few years, and she has lost a lot of weight!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?" The emperor was stunned for a while, and then laughed, "You are talking about Fengzao Palace Shangshu? She is just a female official, but she is just a concubine. After the palace, the Empress and the Queen Only the empress can directly issue a decree. As for Fengzao Gong Shangshu, she can only issue decrees. Moreover, her decree must be reviewed by the Yeting Order before it can be issued. To Lin who is already engaged, another marriage, Such an absurd thing will definitely not work out in the end. What are you afraid of?"

Jia Qi said: "Even if this kind of thing can't be done in the end, as long as there is such a thing, my wife's reputation will not be good. My aunt is gone, and there is no one else in the Lin family. My wife can only count on me to protect her gone?"

The emperor was stunned.

That's right, Lin Ruhai is dead, and his posthumous title is Wenzheng.But the political assets left by Lin Ruhai and his shadow can benefit his daughter, son-in-law and even grandson.

To put it more clearly, the importance of sweet potatoes and other crops to the world alone is enough for Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu's sons and daughters to live in peace for the rest of their lives and no one dares to mess with them.

To put it more simply, no matter who is married to Lin Daiyu, not only can she get a large dowry from Lin Daiyu herself, but the political assets left by Lin Ruhai are also enough for Lin Ruhai's son-in-law to be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life, even if the family commits a crime of treason. For such a serious crime, the royal family had to grit their teeth and admit it.

That's the power of sweet potatoes.

This is the energy that solves the world's hunger and hunger.

As long as people in the world remember Lin Ruhai, it is impossible for the court to do anything to Lin Ruhai's daughter and grandson.

No one is more aware of the power of Lin Ruhai's contribution than the emperor, and the emperor is not surprised that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang dared to plot against Lin Daiyu.

As for Jia Qi, the emperor's evaluation is not bad.

Men, who doesn't want to think about their wives and children?I don't know the kind of irresponsible softies who protect their wives and children, the emperor dare not entrust them with important affairs of state.

Although Jia Qi is young, he is responsible. In the eyes of the emperor, he is much better than some people.As for other things, in the eyes of the emperor, no one is perfect, and it is not easy for Jia Qi to be able to achieve what he is now at such a young age.The rest, such as killing the little opera singer, are trivial and trivial, nothing at all.

Just when the emperor was about to open his mouth, Jia She rushed in scrambling and saluted the emperor as soon as he entered.

The emperor looked at Jia She, and suddenly said: "Jia Aiqing, it's really lively here. I heard that you're going to hold a running water banquet for three days and three nights?"

After the emperor came to power, he tried his best to be frugal. Hearing what the emperor said, Jia She knew that the emperor was unhappy.

Jia Amnesty was also a bachelor, and immediately replied: "Long live, yes. I intend to hold a three-day and three-night banquet."

Before the emperor could raise his eyebrows, Jia Amnesty said to the emperor like pouring beans, "Long live, you don't know, my younger brother is known for being smart and studious since he was a child. I went into the mud. When I was a child, I often suffered from my parents because of this. Long live! I am wronged! No one knows better than Chen what kind of thing this younger brother is! But every time I want to distinguish one from the other, They will all be sprayed with saliva by their mothers. Therefore, this year, Chen's two sons passed the exam, and I am very happy! I just want to show off! That younger brother of Chen has never passed the exam for a lifetime, and he still holds the supervisor at home. He was admitted to the Imperial College under the title of the head of the Ministry of Industry, which was his official position as the head of the Ministry of Industry. Before his death, his father gave up his old face to beg for him. As a result, he always put on airs in front of his ministers, as if he was so capable and smart! Look down on him The minister relied on his ancestors! Didn't he himself rely on his father's shadow and the book he wrote before he left to become the head of the Ministry of Industry?! If he is capable, he will take the test himself! Still stepping on the son of the minister! Said that the son of the minister is useless! Long live! The minister has been displeased with him for a long time! Now, the two sons of the minister, one is 13 years old and the other is ten years old, and they both passed the exam! The minister is happy! It is necessary to step on his face and make him sober! His son can read in the future? His eldest son, like him, failed to be a scholar, and he still entered with the qualifications originally belonged to the son of the minister, and was originally enshrined in the Rongguo Mansion. Otherwise, the second son of the minister would not have to donate to the Imperial College, and go to the Imperial College to be plated with a layer of gold, and he would still be able to enter the officialdom, and his reputation would be even better! And his youngest son, his youngest son is still playing in the back house In the last school, I went fishing for three days and posted the nets for two days! Chen is a dude who relies on his ancestral title. It’s too early for Chen’s eldest son! However, Chen’s second son is already Tongzhou Tongzhi and a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang! There is still a real shortage! The two youngest sons of the minister passed the Juren exam again with their own ability! The minister is happy!..."

The emperor was dumbfounded.

The emperor originally thought that it was too extravagant and wasteful for Jia She to set up a banquet for three days and three nights for an adopted daughter or second daughter Jiji, but in the end Jia She made such a big deal.

But thinking about Jia She's life, especially the 20 years since Jia Daishan didn't come, Jia She was really aggrieved, and now it's rare to be elated, and Jia She himself said that today's focus is not on adopting a daughter and Ji, but on celebrating Jia Lian's promotion and congratulations to Jia Cong and Jia Qi.When Jia Lian became an official, the Jia family did not hold a big banquet. Until today, the three happy events were celebrated together, so the scale seemed larger.

No matter what, Jia Amnesty spent his own money, unlike some people who don't feel bad about spending money that is not his own.

The current emperor is a very frugal emperor. You can tell by looking at the candles in the Hall of Qinzheng. It is said that after the emperor came to power, the candles in the Hall of Qinzheng were never fully lit.

To be honest, the emperor himself is so frugal, and looking at Jia She, celebrating his adopted daughter's 15th birthday with such a big ostentation, the emperor really feels uncomfortable.

However, the emperor did not come today to make himself uncomfortable.In other words, if it wasn't for special reasons, the emperor would rather stay in the Palace of Qinzheng to approve papers than go out.

The emperor will come today because of the new material Jia Lian used in the Tongzhou water conservancy project.

Before Jia Lian became a member of the Ministry of Industry, what was the standard of Tongzhou's water conservancy projects, and what was the standard of Tongzhou's water conservancy projects after Jia Lian became a member of the Ministry of Industry.The emperor not only knew clearly, but also took his two younger brothers to see it. It was because the emperor had seen it that the emperor came to Jia's house.

The emperor couldn't wait any longer.He must know how much the new material called cement costs, how much cheaper it is than stone, whether it is convenient to rush the project, and whether the Jia family can donate this cement recipe.

As soon as Jia She heard the emperor's intention, he immediately kicked Lin Zhixiao who was huddled in the corner waiting to be summoned: "Quickly, go and invite the second master, there is something urgent."

Jia Lian came to the side hall, and when he heard about the emperor's intentions, he immediately pointed to Jia Qi and said, "Long live, it's useless for you to ask me about this cement, you should ask me about this young brother."

The eyes of the emperor and the two princes went to Jia Qi.

King Yi pulled Jia Qi's chubby face and said, "Little thing, you know that Long Live wants to ask this question, but you pretend you don't know, huh?"

Jia Qi covered her face and said, "If I tell you, will you believe me? I'm only ten years old!"

King Yi said: "I remember that Lin Ruhai's contribution is half of yours."

"But crops are crops, and this is this. Farming and reading heirloom, these four words are heard by five or six-year-old children, but this cement is different."

Jia Qi is very clear that in ancient times, those who could afford "work" were also good at it. For example, Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty was born in a family of officials and was a prodigy since he was a child. Roll's big family.After the death of Shen Kuo's father, Enyin became an official, and then was transferred to the capital, where he was highly valued by Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, and rose all the way to the top; for example, Su Song, who invented the escapement and made the oldest astronomical clock, was even a Jinshi And the first cattle.

In a word, if you want to play "work" and become famous in this era, you must not only accumulate enough knowledge, but also have enough financial and material resources to give him a lot of trouble.

Just based on Jia Qi's status as the youngest son, he definitely doesn't have the capital to play this game, it's almost the same with Jia Lian.

King Yi said: "So, you really made this thing?"

Jia Qi nodded and said: "I did tell my aunt about this at the beginning, but at that time I was too young, my aunt was skeptical of what I said, and it needed iron slag to make this thing, so my aunt didn't do this in the end. Until After my aunt passed away, my daughter-in-law knew that I was always thinking about this, and she gave her full support. She spent more than [-] taels of silver back and forth, and it took three years to find the most suitable ratio. It was also my elder brother who became a member of the Ministry of Industry. Leading the water conservancy project in Tongzhou, this thing has a place to play. Otherwise, it will be shelved."

Although cement can be used to build a house or a textile workshop, the cement in this era, if there is no steel bar, the cement will be just like that.

To be honest, cement has advantages, but the advantages are not outstanding.

King Yi pointed to Jia Qi and said to the emperor: "Long live, this little thing is still like this, and any credit is given to others. This is the case with sweet potatoes, and the same is true with this cement. Good, Things that benefit the country and the people have nothing to do with him."

Hu Wang laughed and said: "I think this little thing is treacherous. He is afraid that he would not like the 20 taels of silver rewarded by the imperial court for the invention, so he changed Fang'er and asked Long Live for a reward!"

Jia Qi immediately jumped up: "That's not it! Wansui is the most frugal, if this prescription is in Wansui's hands, Wansui must hand it over to the Ministry of Industry of Xuanhui Mansion or Xuanhui Mansion, and let the people under these two yamen The workshop started. However, it would be great if the court could keep these workshops in a strict view. I am afraid that someone can squeeze oil out of the stone. In order to save costs, the formula was changed. Things that are good for the country and the people become a disaster that harms the country and the people! Rather than this, I might as well not take it out.”

Jia Qi believed that relying on the ability of the emperor's brothers, let alone things they couldn't do, they could handle things that would cause trouble for the emperor.

It's just that in that case, I can only take the blame.

Jia Qi didn't want to blame the emperor's political enemies.

no future.

King Yi and King Hu laughed and staggered, and said again and again: "Long live, let me tell you, this little thing is very clever! If you don't take it out, there must be another reason."

The emperor also raised the corners of his mouth.

Seeing the emperor's smile, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Lian finally found the opportunity and went back to bring the booklet he had prepared for a long time.

King Yi laughed and said, "It turns out that your brothers have already made preparations."

Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty, not only is this prescription belonged to my younger brother, but even this book was thought up by the lower official and my younger brother together. The lower official originally thought that when the water conservancy project in Tongzhou was almost completed in the next year, my younger brother would also enter it." After leaving the officialdom, the two brothers joined the book together.”

Hearing what Jia Lian said, the emperor paused when he opened the memorial, then lowered his head to look at the memorial.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he worked in the six departments for several years and was proficient in common affairs, so he naturally knew the deep meaning behind this memorial.

As Jia Qi said, it is indeed easy to cause troubles if the workshops affiliated to the Ministry of Industry are directly in charge of producing cement, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of cement production and cement quality control.

Taking the workshops of the Ministry of Industry that produce Sanhe clay as an example, the emperor knew very well that [-]% of the glutinous rice that the imperial court gave to these workshops was finally used for practical purposes. In fact, half of the glutinous rice that the imperial court gave to the Sanhe clay workshops was sold every year. .That is the best glutinous rice!

In fact, the emperor had long felt that the old quality monitoring methods could no longer meet the needs of the imperial court, especially those corrupt officials who had a growing appetite. However, the emperor was always benevolent and righteous, and as the emperor, he had the ability to think limited.

Although the quality inspection mechanism provided in this memorial is not the best method, it can also be used as a reference.

After reading the memorial, the emperor gave the memorial to his beloved brother Yi Wang according to the custom.King Yi was also taken aback, and quickly watched it with King Hu.

The emperor turned his head and asked Jia Qi: "I heard that before the construction of Tongzhou water conservancy this time, you also received project funds from the Tongzhou Yamen?"

What the emperor was talking about was the money that the imperial court encouraged water conservancy projects.In fact, the emperor also knew that the amount of money was too small compared to the amount of the project, only 2 taels, and Tongzhou was close to Gyeonggi, and most of the businessmen traveling from south to north stopped in Tongzhou. Easy to find work to do.This has also resulted in the wage level of the people in Tongzhou, which has always been among the top in the country. 2 taels of silver is indeed a lot in other places, but in Tongzhou, it is not enough to pay the river workers.

Jia Qi said: "Long live, Zigong's redemption is the teaching of the sages. Since I can pass the exam, how can I not know this? Although it is to build ponds and embankments for my own fields, I am the one who should get the money. You're welcome."

"My own field?"

"That's right, our Jia family's field, and my wife's dowry."

When Jia Min got married, Jia Daishan and Jia Mu accompanied her to a small village in Tongzhou.After so many years of operation, the small Zhuangzi has become the sixth largest Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, not only with a large land area, but also with one of the largest populations.

The emperor said: "Is there a workshop in Zhuangzi?"

"Yes! These farms are not mainly based on farming, but on breeding and textiles. There is no way, if I don't do something, I will know that the people drowned their daughters again and again. Baby. If things go on like this, sooner or later something will go wrong."

"Ok?"

The emperor paused again with the hand holding the tea bowl, and narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on."

"It's very simple. A man can't marry a wife." Jia Qi shrugged and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about these things for a long time. For example, I like to call marriage a 'redistribution of means of production'." important way."

"Production materials?"

"It's land, houses, even textile machines and other things that can bring in income."

The emperor nodded, expressing his understanding.

In fact, the emperor didn't understand it at all. He just thought that the seven words "redistribution of production means" were very grand and stylish. Only half understood.

Not only the emperor, but even King Jia She and Jia Lian, the king of Yi, were dumbfounded.

It was Jia She who reacted quickly, pushed his son, and said: "What the hell, put it simply, I don't understand your father."

Jia Qi said, "Then, let's start with land annexation."

Land merger?

As soon as these four words came out, Jia Amnesty was stunned.If the one sitting on it was not the emperor, Jia Amnesty would have rushed over to gag Jia Qi!

You little brat!Can these four words be exported casually?

If possible, Jia She really wanted to kick this little son down and cover his mouth, but in fact, Jia She was glared at by the emperor, and he only stepped out a toe before being pressed Living.

Seeing the guard holding him down, Jia Amnesty could only cry silently in his heart: Son, take it easy, your father and I can only do this for you.

On the other side, Jia Qi began to chat with the emperor about the mountains. Jia Qi took out his ability to talk about Confucianism in forums, and began to chat with the emperor about the land reform of the past dynasties. Well, the land policy of this dynasty follows that of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty was deeply influenced by the Mongols. There is no way to do it. Who made the founding emperor of the previous dynasty come from a cowherd boy who worked as a beggar and became a monk in order to evade taxes? ? Just look at his land policy. Those who are famous and famous don’t have to pay taxes? It turns out that the country’s most valuable land is used to buy people’s hearts! On the one hand, the gentry are allowed to be exempted from taxes. Naturally, the rations will rebel."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Sea transportation? But the previous dynasty spent too much on sea ships, and the court couldn't support it. That's why..."

"The expenses of the former dynasty were high? Could the expenditure of the former dynasty be greater than that of the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty was notorious for redundant officials, but the salaries of the officials of the Song Dynasty were much higher than those of the previous dynasty. Not only were there more names, but also more money How much does the Song Dynasty have to give out every year for the salaries of civil and military officials?" Jia Qi said bluntly: "If you want me to say, the one from the previous dynasty deserves to be born as a slave, and was filled with slave thoughts by the Mongols. , so after becoming an emperor, he also behaved like a slave owner. In name, he is an emperor, but in reality, he is no more than the second Mongol.”

"Brother Qi!" Jia Amnesty screamed.

This, this child is too messy, can you say such things casually?

The emperor glared at Jia She, watched Jia She shrink back, and then said: "You are so young, you have a big tone! How old are you, why are you thinking about these things?"

Jia Qi tilted his neck and said, "Long live, it's not that I'm loud, but, everyone knows, you can't take it anymore."

The emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"What did you say?" The emperor's face had already been lowered, and Jia Amnesty had already started to tremble.He felt that after the emperor left, it was necessary for him to beat up this brat.

"Officials and gentry pay food together," Jia Qi said, "I think, I guessed right."

If eyes could kill, Jia Qi would probably be executed by Ling Chi at this moment.

A row of names flashed through the emperor's mind.

Officials and gentlemen pay food as a whole, this is a policy that the emperor has been planning for several years, but it has not been implemented.

who is it?

Who leaked the wind?

Even such a little doll knows it!

The emperor was very angry.

He felt that it was necessary for him to clean up the entire Palace of Qinzheng.

Over there, King Yi and King Hu had already knelt down, and Jia Amnesty kowtowed on the ground.

He was too scared to speak,

At this moment, he only begged the emperor to let his son go, and he promised that after the emperor left, he would give this brat a good beating, so that he would never get up like Jia Baoyu.

Jia Qi still had that relaxed look: "Long live, with your temperament, it's not surprising that you would adopt such a thunderous method. Even if I say that this method will make you stand on the opposite side of the world's gentry, it will only make you Your belief is more and more firm. But, do you remember that even if the Southern Song Dynasty only had half of the country, relying on sea transportation, it still made tens of millions of dollars every year."

The emperor was startled, and after being silent for a while, he let Jia Amnesty get up, and then said in a low voice: "I didn't just decide to pay the officials and gentry together for the sake of insufficient taxes from the court."

"I know, it's because of land annexation. Because land annexation will make people unable to make a living, so they choose to take risks."

"Yes, that's it."

"But, who told you that without land, the people will definitely lose their livelihood?"

Please, if the loss of land means loss of livelihood, then what are so many migrant workers going to cities to do in future generations?

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Many things, the ancestors have already said it thoroughly, but the world is not aware of it.

"Long live, you really never thought that one day, the imperial court's income will no longer depend on agricultural taxes, and even, will the imperial court still have spare money to subsidize farmers?"

If I can really achieve this step, then I will be an emperor through the ages!An emperor through the ages who changed his name from the Supreme Emperor!

The emperor finally reacted.

The government and the gentry pay the food together, even this kid can guess, I'm afraid those people have guessed it too, they are waiting for me!

in case,

If there is another way...

After a long silence, I heard the emperor say: "However, the previous dynasty has already told us with historical facts that shipping by sea is too expensive..."

Jia Qi said: "Long live, the student has already said that the founding emperor of the previous dynasty regarded himself as a slave owner and the world as his own private property. Therefore, internally, he used the land to buy people's hearts. Externally, he regarded the ocean as a slave." For their own sake, the people are not allowed to set foot in the sea. Therefore, the previous dynasty could not benefit the people with the wealth brought by the sea like in the Song Dynasty. Only a few people were very rich, but the people could only starve to death."

The emperor murmured: "Since you can think of it, why didn't the ministers think of it in the previous dynasty?"

Jia Qi said: "The reason is very simple, because those ministers are big landlords. If the sea transport was opened in the previous dynasty, the people would find jobs in silk, tea, porcelain workshops and other workshops, or simply leave. The demand for land will be greatly reduced, as a result, the price of land will no longer rise, and naturally, they will reap the wealth brought about by the appreciation of land.”

The emperor said: "That is to say, if the sea is opened, the people will leave?"

Jia Qi said: "Then overseas countries will also know Long Live and the prosperity of the Central Plains, and even take pride in speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters."

I will cover the world!

The emperor stood up suddenly.

It was too tempting for him.

The emperor walked around the room almost uncontrollably.

With the emperor's IQ, he certainly knew how difficult it would be to implement the unified payment of government and gentry. He also knew that if he forcibly implemented the unified payment of government and gentry, after a hundred years, this policy may not be able to be implemented. void.

That would be tantamount to saying that he has done useless work.

If it is true as Jia Qi said, the people will leave and the domestic land price will drop, and it will be much easier to carry out land tax reform.

Looking at the excited emperor, Jia Qi smiled slightly.

He was not afraid that the emperor would not be moved.

The Great Wei Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty in another time and space.If it was the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu rulers, who accounted for less than [-]% of the total population, would certainly not want to open the sea ban, because it would be tantamount to helping the Han people flee, and by the way, it would give the Han people a chance to rebel and overthrow the Manchu rule.

If this was the Qing Dynasty, or any minority court, Jia Qi had no choice but to rebel.

Fortunately, the Great Wei Dynasty was the court of the Han people, and the surname of the country was Zhang.

That's right, it was Zhang Xianzhong who was ridiculed as a villain at the beginning, the Tai | Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty had no son and only one daughter in his life, and this was the regent princess who was later posthumously named Gaozu. Married, but raised several face heads, and gave birth to three sons, all of whom followed their mother's surname.

When Emperor Taizong was in power, he didn't feel power for a day, and could only have children with his concubines in the harem, so he became depressed and ill. The Emperor Taizong ascended the throne with the support of his grandmother.

Because it is the Han family, Jia Qi is sure that the emperor will not choose to close the country like the Qing Dynasty.Of course, if the emperor cannot be persuaded, Jia Qi can only choose to rebel.

There is no way out if the country is closed to the outside world.

The emperor wandered around the room excitedly for a long time, and suddenly became discouraged: "It's a pity that the court has no money."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Jia Qi was stunned.

Isn't it good?Why did you change your mind again?

"I mean, the court doesn't have that much money to build ships."

"If Long Live only refers to sea-going ships, then it's easy. It doesn't even require the court to spend money, as long as the relevant departments cooperate and issue two handouts."

"How to do it?"

"It's very simple. As far as I know, although North Korea regards our Great Wei as the suzerain, they have a heart of disobedience in private. They reported 21 warships to the court, but the actual
