Chapter 44: My daughter is worried and has no money to buy osmanthus oil

Yun Zhao is right. The imperial court did add "suppression rates" and "levy" to "Liao rates". Rates”.

These two assessments will raise a total of 2.8 million taels of silver.

The new national policy formulated by Yang Sichang, the new minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty - the "four righteousnesses, six corners and ten-sided nets" encirclement and suppression.

Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei are the four main forces, and the four governors attack separately and focus on defense.

With Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan as the six corners, the six governors divided their defenses and coordinated the suppression. This is called a ten-sided net.

Yang Sichang proposed adding 140,000 troops and increasing pay by 2.8 million taels. Xiong Wencan was appointed as the prime minister for military affairs in the five provinces, carrying out both suppression and appeasement.

It is said that there are four strategies for raising this money: food, overflow, examples, and delivery. For those who pay for grain, they will be given additional money for each acre of land, and a load of grain will be calculated at eight denarius.

For land overflow, the government is asked to find people whose land exceeds the designated amount and collect taxes again.

The example is to let wealthy people spend money to buy a supervisory student place. The advantage of being a supervisory student is that they do not have to pay taxes.

Courier delivery means abolition of inns and post offices. It is said that this can save 200,000 taels of silver.

In addition, there is the clan donation. It is said that the Qin Palace donated 600 taels of silver, which can be included in the top ten of the vassal kings' donation list.

Guanzhong naturally also has apportionment, but under Lao Ruyi's arrangement, Lantian County purchased a total of 71 supervisory places. At the same time, it also spent six to nine thousand taels of silver to purchase a post station from Guanzhong to the capital. , and retained the post.

Yun Zhao also wanted to buy the post station from Guanzhong to Nanjing, but he did not expect to do it too late. When Lao Ruyi went to ask the price, he was told that it had been bought by a southeastern salt merchant.

One prison student needs one hundred and sixty taels of silver, and Yunzhao, the seventy-one prison student, spent a total of eight thousand taels of silver.

After adding the two together, Lantian County has successfully completed the entire Guanzhong apportionment amount.

After the shopkeeper of the Yun family calculated the accounts, Yun Zhao found that not only did he not lose money, but he actually made more than three thousand taels of silver.

In the coming year, one hundred acres of land under the name of a supervisor will not have to pay taxes. In other words, as long as it is operated properly, the 7,100 acres of fertile land in Lantian County will not have to pay a penny to the Ming Dynasty. taxes.

It is more than two thousand miles from Xi'an to the capital. It was the Ming Dynasty's practice to provide a post station for fifty miles. Yun Zhao only spent 9,000 taels of silver to purchase nearly fifty fully functioning inns.

The shopkeepers decided to turn all the inns into inns...

"Why do you make money when you spend money for the country?"

Feng Ying recently She is very interested in everything, and in order to achieve some small goals, she even does not hesitate to use her beauty to seduce her.

“There is a problem of capital restructuring, and there is also a problem of officials selling off national industries at a low price.

After adding the two together, personal wealth is inevitable. "

Yun Zhao said cheerful words, but his voice was cold. Among the six post roads that were abolished this time, the road from Guanzhong to the capital was the worst.

"So, it is completely wrong for the emperor to do this, right? "

Feng Ying looked sideways at Yun Zhao, then quickly lowered her head.

"The person who made this suggestion should have the Ten Clan executed! In the past, the emperor made a mistake in executing the ten tribes of Fang Xiaoru. ”

“Who made this suggestion? "

" Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War! "

"This person should kill the ten tribes? ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said: “There is nothing wrong with the strategy he proposed that “to deal with foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs.” However, he should not allow his selfishness to come into play.

We bought one at Yilu. According to Lao Ruyi, a salt merchant related to him bought three.

This kind of person should not be an official. He is born to be a businessman. ”

“If military officers are not afraid of death, and civil servants are not greedy for money, why should there be injustice in the world?” "

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Yue Wumu's words are too natural. Although everyone knows this truth, it is really difficult to truly implement it. ”

“If the water is extremely clear, there will be no fish, and if people observe it carefully, there will be no disciples?” "

"You see, this is the trouble caused after reading. These two sentences are placed in two places, and they are both wise sayings. If they are put together, they will be contradictory.

These two sentences are also two attitudes towards life. It depends on how you choose. "

"I have prepared a batch of goods and want to follow the Yun's caravan to Zhangjiakou. What does Brother Yun think? ”

“You don’t have to go. "

"No, there are still some people in Shanxi that I want to see in person. ”

“The old Qi family army? ”

“It doesn’t count, it’s just old! "

Feng Ying didn't want to say it, so Yun Zhao couldn't continue talking. Looking back at Xiao Chu's wary eyes, Yun Zhao didn't want to rape Feng Ying, so he left Feng Ying to live there.

Most of the time, Yun Zhao feels a little lonely.

Especially after Qian Duoduo and Qian Shaoshao are gone, there are several martial artists around him. A strong guard.

Yun Yang would sometimes come to scold him for nothing. As for Yun Juan, Yun Shu and the others had already figured out their own roles and no longer played with Yun Zhao as they did when they were children.

Yunmeng is at Phoenix Mountain, Yunfu, Yunbao is at Wuguan, Yunjiao is guarding the Qinling Pass, and Yunxiao has not appeared in Yushan for a long time.

Everyone is busy. Everyone lives cautiously, not daring to slack off at all.

The climate in Guanzhong is gradually becoming humid, and there is more rain. Yun Zhao hopes that the damn Little Ice Age will pass quickly so that the world can survive. The people on earth can take a breather.

Yun Zhao has calculated that out of the eight years since he came to this world, there have been severe droughts for six of them...

Such a drought can actually be conquered, Lantian County is a good example.

The Guanzhong Plain has been cultivated by ancestors for thousands of years. It has encountered countless such disasters and used countless means to resist disasters, among which water conservancy projects are one of them.

As the area of ​​Lantian County continues to expand, the water conservancy project in Guanzhong is also gradually recovering.

The people in Guanzhong are very capable of learning. When they discovered that people in the original Lantian County could survive the drought by relying solely on water conservancy projects, they thought they could do the same.

Therefore, local people often repair water conservancy projects on their own initiative, which can easily turn Guanzhong's water conservancy into a complete network.

With water in the canals, drought will naturally not pose a threat to people.

Due to the long sunshine period, various fruits in Guanzhong have grown particularly sweet in recent years.

Yun Zhao knew that before the villagers did these things, they would first determine where the boundary markers of Lantian County were.

Under normal circumstances, only the land within the boundary monument will have complete water conservancy projects. As for the land outside the boundary monument, people are still waiting.

Guanzhong, which had been in decline, finally had a glimmer of life.

After the third rain in spring, sweet potato vines quickly climbed everywhere, wheat grew to two inches long, corn seedlings had already sprouted, and only potatoes had just poked their heads out of the soil.

"How did Yangzhou become like this?"

Qian Duoduo, who was riding a crane down to Yangzhou with a hundred thousand guan in his pocket, opened the carriage curtain and took a look at the tall Yangzhou city wall. of disappointment.

Yun Chun also took a look and said dejectedly: "It's not as good as home, look at such a big group of beggars."

Yun Hua also snorted and said : "I never thought, Duoduo, it was you who dragged me here."

Qian Duoduo said: "I hired you with money. You must be obedient from now on."

Yun Chun rolled his eyes and said, "If the young master hadn't asked us to come, do you think our sisters would care less about your money?"

Qian Duoduo's eyes narrowed as he smiled. Zhu Chunchun and Huahua said on their shoulders: "So, you have to take good care of me."

While the three of them were making a fuss in the carriage, they heard Liang San standing outside the carriage and saying: "Duoduo, we It's time to enter the city, where are you going to settle down?"

The smile on Qian Duoduo's face faded little by little, and he whispered: "Go to Dongguan, the old store of Fuliansheng."

Qian Duoduo closed his eyes and didn’t need to look at the road. He just silently counted the bluestone slabs that the wheels passed by to know where he was.

“Third Uncle, is there a fragrant restaurant here?Pink shop? ”

Liang San whispered: “Duo Duo has a good memory. There is indeed a Fuchun Fragrance Powder store here, and the doorman seems to be quite old.” "

" Could you please Third Uncle to buy me some osmanthus oil?" "

The carriage stopped, and after a while, Liang San handed in a small white porcelain bottle of osmanthus oil.

Qian Duoduo pulled out the cork, He took a deep breath of the scent of osmanthus oil and said to himself: "It doesn't smell as good as before. "

Yunchun said on the side: "Who would like this kind of strong-smelling hair oil. Orchid tastes so good, and the light flavor lingers for a long time. "

Qian Duoduo's face turned livid, he held the white porcelain bottle in his hand tightly and said: "The real osmanthus oil smells a hundred times better than this! ”
