First Section 345
First Section 345
As soon as the words were finished, Li Zheng walked in wearing a dragon robe, slowly sat down on the dragon chair, and looked majesticly at the people below who lacked civil and military officials.
"My ministers see your Majesty, long live, long live, long live Your Majesty."
"Everyone loves to be flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Sit down."
Take a seat?Young Master Liu nodded when he heard the emperor's words. Can civil and military officials still sit?
It's Young Master Liu's best habit to read more and talk less if you don't understand. Although I don't know the rules, I can follow others.
Glancing quietly at the other officials, they stepped aside and knelt down one after another on blankets arranged in an orderly manner. Only then did Young Master Liu realize what the blanket on his left was for. The carpet was originally for officials to sit on their knees.
Gently knelt down and took his place, First Young Master Liu shook his body, not to mention, he was quite soft, really humane.
"It's the Spring Festival, I've spent more than a month of repairing, and there are a lot of memorials from various state capitals. The New Year is over, and the first court meeting, do you have any memorials?"
After Li Zheng saw all the officials entering the ranks one after another, he spoke softly to break the calm of the court meeting.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chentong Sansi has sorted out a total of 130 memorials from the state capitals in the southeast, southeast, southwest, among which [-] memorials are required for written instructions and [-] memorials for the six departments. The preparations have been completed, please Your Majesty to review."
Right Xiangtong Sansi took the lead and stood below respectfully holding a thick stack of memorials.
"Zhou Fei, present it."
"According to the order."
After Zhou Fei, the chief executive, took over the memorial from the right minister, Tong Sansi returned to his original position.
"Chen Zuoxiang Wei Yong sorted out a total of 110 memorials from various places in the northeast and northwest, and asked His Majesty to review them."
"Bring it up."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households takes over the taxation of gold and silver from the world's granaries, and all places have submitted tax and silver amounts. Among them, the five prefectures and 32 states in the south of the Yangtze River have collected a total of 700 million taels of tax revenue, and the 27 prefectures in the four Jiangdong prefectures have collected a total of 4101 million taels of silver... .This year, the total tax revenue is 700 million taels, which is 900 million taels more than last year, and the treasury silver taels left behind by the state capitals are removed from the treasury banks and transported to the capital for a total of 700 million taels."
"Thirty-seven million taels? How could there be so much extra tax money?"
Li Zheng frowned, although there was some joy and more doubts.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also whispered to each other.
Jiang Yuanming glanced lightly at First Young Master Liu who was clacking his fingers.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, among the 900 million taels of tax silver, Zhu Run, the Marquis of Guannei, the Liuli mirror, the briquette business, and the business tax from northern Xinjiang leading to the border of the Kingdom of Jin totaled 600 million taels. More than enough."
Li Zheng took a deep look at First Young Master Liu, who was kneeling there: "Present."
"According to the order."
Li Zheng gave up the memorials of the two prime ministers and went to read the memorials of the Minister of the Ministry of Households first, which shows his fancy for the treasury.
After a while, Li Zheng put down the memorial in doubt: "Although Shu has the reputation of being a land of abundance, it has always paid a small amount of tax and silver, but it is unreasonable to suddenly have an extra 200 million taels. where?"
"Miao Ji, the left servant of the household department, reported back to His Majesty that the copy of the Duzhi Division is here, please Your Majesty to review it."
Li Zheng looked through the handouts presented carefully: "The Miao border has always been barren, so how can they pay so much tax? It's not much different from the normal tax in a central state."
"Your Majesty, three...His Royal Highness the King of Shu is stationed in the land of Shu. Perhaps it is because the King of Shu is good at herding the people. The people in the land of Shu can live and work in peace and prosperity, so the tax revenue will increase."
"maybe."
Li Zheng put down the memorial lightly. Although he said so, Li Zheng still had doubts on his brows.
"Your Majesty, Ye Kaiming, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, together with the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, have completed the trials of last year's cases and have handed them over to Dali Temple for review. Your Majesty, please have a look."
"Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, reported back to His Majesty, Minister of the Six Guards Generals of Northern Xinjiang, the horseshoe needs to be replaced, and the specific matters need to be replaced by Chen Ming, please have your Majesty look over it."
"Impeachment by the imperial envoy Xia Gongming......"
All the ministers couldn't help sighing, as soon as Xia Gongming came out, the dudes in the capital would definitely be reprimanded.
"Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Defense, reported to His Majesty that the Turkic barbarians, ignorant of the destiny and ignorant of current affairs, rushed to invade our territory with unknown troops. The six guards of northern Xinjiang raised troops to meet the enemy. This battle beheaded 3000 of the enemy's heads and disturbed the total number of Turkic horses. 1 horses, [-] cattle and sheep, and more than [-] captives are already on their way to the capital."
"Okay." Even though he knew the news a long time ago, Li Zheng still couldn't help shouting hello.
Such a result has never been seen in nearly ten years, and it can be said to be a complete victory.
4 Chapter [-] Business War Preparations
Young Master Liu, who was still very interested, couldn't help dozing off listening to the boring voice in the court.
The censor's yamen of six departments and nine temples, the princes and generals of all major states wrote letters one after another, pouring out all the memorials that had been accumulated for a month.
The originally dark hall gradually became brighter.
There are still some officials who are talking endlessly. Although Li Zheng hates the officials' sloppy tone, he still resists listening.
It can be seen that although Li Zheng is not perfect in some places, it can be seen from this aspect that he is a diligent emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic people were bewitched by the Kingdom of Jin and invaded our territory. They still haven't sent envoys to seek peace. It's obvious that their ambitions are still alive."
"Your Majesty, what the Minister of Honglu Temple said is true. The war has been over for so long, and Honglu Temple still hasn't seen the Turkic envoys. It must be a misfortune."
"What should I do in the opinion of all my lovers?"
Wu Guogong Wan Buhai came out and said, "Your Majesty's generals and soldiers are now in full swing. In my opinion, I should send troops to the north to conquer the Turks. Even if the Turks cannot be destroyed, I will beat them again so that they will move five thousand miles north and dare not go south to graze horses."
"Your Majesty, I agree with you that the Turkic wolf ambitions have repeatedly invaded our territory, and they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty, the subject also agrees. As long as Your Majesty makes an order, the subject is willing to be the vanguard officer of the Northern Expedition and will not return it to death."
"Old Mr. Xu, why do you want to be a vanguard officer? This general is the vanguard officer if you want to be a vanguard officer. This general's saber has not drunk blood for many years."
The generals began to fight meaninglessly again.
Song Yu stepped out gently: "Your Majesty!"
"Shut up for me."
A group of generals stopped arguing and kept silent.
Li Zheng looked at Song Yu: "What suggestion does Song Aiqing have?"
"Your Majesty, although I understand Duke Wu's feelings, it is definitely not a wise move to march north now. The remoteness of northern Xinjiang is not the same as that of the capital. Although the capital has gradually recovered, the grasslands in northern Xinjiang are still covered with deep snow. Let's not talk about it." Whether our war horses can adapt to the cold weather in the grassland like the Turkic war horses is a big problem just to transport food and grass, and the frozen snow is more difficult than mud."
"Your Majesty seconded the proposal. Although the national treasury is gradually being enriched, it is still not the best time to go north to fight. If you want to go north, you have to wait until April is the most suitable time."
