The Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing!
Zhu Youxiao was sitting leisurely on the dragon chair, with Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, Zhang Weixian, Yang Lian, Xu Guangqi and other courtiers sitting below him!
The three of them were also a little curious about the fact that the little emperor was so happy today. However, life has been quite comfortable since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne. He is a rare civil servant nemesis. So obedient!
However, Zhu Youxiao, the little emperor, lived a comfortable life. It was just because of the hardships of the civil servants like them. They were busy all day long. Not only did they have to deal with the censure of scholars all over the world, but they also had to deal with the troubles caused by the little emperor from time to time. Quite anxious!
Fortunately, although the little emperor always made trouble, he never acted nonsense. Even though he took back a lot of rights from the civil servants, he also solved many practical problems. Lordship and land!
Although these two things are not related, the frontier army can be self-sufficient. The land recovered from the emperor's relatives and the salary reduction have relieved the court's huge financial pressure. This made the two cabinet ministers Fang and Liu finally heave a sigh of relief. !
"Xu Aiqing, how is the construction of the new gunpowder factory and gunpowder depot going?" Zhu Youxiao asked Xu Guangqi before the courtiers could talk about those troublesome things!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the new gunpowder factory and gunpowder warehouse have been built. The firearms workshop of the Manufacturing Office has sent people to inspect it. The firearms workshop and the craftsmen responsible for manufacturing gunpowder from the Ministry of Works will soon move there!" Xu Guangqi leaned forward in his seat. said.
Zhu Youxiao nodded. The new gunpowder factory and gunpowder depot he was talking about was a newly built gunpowder production and storage place near Xishan on the outskirts of Beijing, because the gunpowder is now stored in the Wang Gong Factory in Beijing!
According to historical records, an unexplained explosion occurred near Wang Gong Factory in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, causing more than 20,000 casualties. What is even more bizarre is that all the clothes of the survivors and the deceased were missing. After the disaster, on the West Mountain of Beijing But there was a lot of clothing.
Not only did this disaster cause serious losses, its cause has never been identified, and it has been regarded as a mystery by later generations. As for the cause of the explosion, there are earthquake theories, meteorite theories, and of course the Wanggong Factory gunpowder magazine explosion theory.
However, in Zhu Youxiao's view, whether it was an earthquake or a meteorite, placing a gunpowder magazine in Beijing was a very dangerous thing, so he asked the Ministry of Revenue to build a new gunpowder factory and gunpowder magazine in Xishan!
With sufficient money and the help of prisoners of war, Xu Guangqi quickly got the job done, and Wang Gongchang, the time bomb, could finally move!
"Old Duke, send someone from the Shenji Battalion to supervise the move of the gunpowder warehouse of Wang Gong Factory to Xishan. You must follow the arrangements of the master craftsman of the firearms workshop. In the future, the Xishan Gunpowder Factory and the gunpowder warehouse will also be guarded by the Shenji Battalion. , I have only one request, and that is to ensure that nothing goes wrong. The old prince must keep a close eye on this matter!" Zhu Youxiao gave Zhang Weixian another instruction.
"Old minister, I obey the order, but the Shenji Camp has not taken care of the gunpowder warehouse. I need to ask the Holy Father for instructions on what to do specifically!" Zhang Weixian also bowed and said.
"The specific matters will be handed over to the firearms workshop by the old prince. They have detailed rules. The soldiers of the Shenji Camp must learn them thoroughly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they won't even have the chance to behead!" Zhu In order to make Zhang Weixian take this matter seriously, the school reminded him again!
"Old minister, I understand, I will definitely live up to the trust of the Holy One!" Zhang Weixian responded and said no more!
At this time, Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe again, picked up a memorial at the same time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang Ge, there is a letter from Li Jinzhong. All the 730,000 acres of the land of Prince De's Mansion are designated as imperial estates. According to the imperial system, Pay taxes, and at the same time, the original business name of Prince De¡¯s Palace has also been taken back to the Royal Commercial Bank, and all taxes are paid at 30%. This time the court is going to get rich again!"
Fang Congzhe had known for a long time that the young emperor was going to deal with King De. When he heard about this result, his old face naturally smiled like a flower, clasped his fists and said: "These are all the wise and powerful saints. The Ming Dynasty has the Holy Lord coming to court, and ZTE is not far away!" "
The smile on Zhu Youxiao's face did not diminish and he said: "This is all a trivial matter. Duke Yansheng also sent a memorial, but it was sent together with Li Jinzhong's memorial, so he came directly to me. Mr. Fang Ge and all my dear friends Let's see!"
The little eunuch serving beside Zhu Youxiao handed the memorial to Fang Congzhe. The old man opened it with doubts and read it. The doubts on his face immediately turned into surprise. After reading it, Fang Congzhe immediately handed the memorial to Liu Yishui. Liu looked at it again and his face was full of shock!
After Liu Yishen read it, he closed the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, it is nothing for Kong Yinzhi to plead guilty in the name of Yanshenggong and to request the return of the land donated and occupied by the Kong family, but Kong Yinzhi?I asked all the fields and merchants to pay taxes, and even required the merchants of the Kong family to pay 50% of the tax. I am afraid this will cause an uproar! "
The other courtiers who had not read the memorial realized why Fang and Liu were surprised. They were also shocked when they heard the news!
What kind of medicine did the Kong family take wrongly?
It¡¯s obvious that such an incident is going to cut off the wealth of scholars all over the world!
¡°Aren¡¯t the Confucius family afraid of being cast aside by scholars all over the world?
Zhu Youxiao looked at the reaction of the ministers and said nonchalantly: "The uproar is just an uproar. What I want to control is the attitude of the Confucius family, and I have decided to set the Confucius Temple's sacrificial land at 100,000 acres, and this There is no need to pay taxes to show the court's respect for Master Confucius. As for the other fields of the Confucius family, in consideration of the Confucius family's service in serving the saint's tomb, the spring and autumn taxes are charged at half, and the commercial tax is charged at 10%. Yan Shenggong Kong Shangxian added the prince The Grand Tutor, Kong Yinzhi and the Prince's Young Master, will also be given twelve pairs of glazed lamps, ten glass mirrors, and one hundred pieces of glass utensils!"
Everyone here secretly curled their lips after hearing this. The Kong family suffered a lot this time. They handed over more than 500,000 acres of land and completely offended the scholars in the world. But this black-hearted little emperor only left 100,000 acres of land. Last spring and autumn taxes were reduced by half, two useless titles, and a bunch of sand products!
Yes!
When Zhu Youxiao took out the glass mirror and those beautiful glassware, the civil and military officials in the court were all surprised, thinking that the little emperor had got some great treasure.
But when they learned that these things were made from sand and could be fired in large quantities like bricks, these ministers always felt like they had eaten flies when they saw these exquisite utensils.
Nowadays, when the little emperor rewards his ministers, he rarely uses gold, silver, porcelain, and silk, but only uses glass mirrors and glass vessels.
¡°It¡¯s impossible for you to say that you don¡¯t like the minister who got these things. Those glass mirrors are so clear that the women in the family regard them as treasures!
Those glassware are even more beautiful, colorful and elegant in shape. Whether they are cups, pots, plates or toys, they are all addictive!
Fang Congzhe once got a set of writing brushes. The pen holder is a hollow glass column, with brightly colored and lifelike plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums drawn inside. Fang Congzhe feels itchy in his heart every day if he doesn¡¯t look at this set of writing brushes!
But when he thought that this set of beautiful brushes were actually made of sand, Lao Fang felt uncomfortable. Anyway, the tangle really made people feel like they were speechless!
But this time, Fang Congzhe was extremely grateful to the little emperor. Originally, it had been said that the gentry and the gentry would receive food from one person. Fang Congzhe even wanted to be the first person, but was stopped by the little emperor.
Now it seems that the little emperor has long planned to take action on the Kong family, and only if the Kong family does this, there will be no big problem. There is still a possibility that he, Fang Congzhe, the elder of the pavilion, will be stabbed, but the Kong family It¡¯s a saint¡¯s court that will last for thousands of years!
No matter how dissatisfied those scholars are, they can't dig up the grave of Master Kong, right?
So in Fang Congzhe¡¯s opinion, it was so smart for the little emperor to force the Kong family to become the leader!
"Your Majesty!" Fang Congzhe stood up and gave a deep salute, and said sadly: "I saw the memorial from Duke Yansheng today, and I know what the character of a scholar is. I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow my family's land to be taxed!"
Liu Yishen rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Fang Congzhe meant. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Old minister, I also ask for your majesty's permission to pay taxes on the fields at home!"
