After inspecting the Wubei Department, Zhu Yijun left the Wubei Department with satisfaction. Except for one thing that made Zhu Yijun unhappy, it was burning money. Everything else was very satisfied, and burning money was impossible to avoid.

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "Go to Kunning Palace."

During this period, Zhu Yijun spent more time to visit his concubines, and most of them went to see the children. However, he stayed at Queen Wang's place more, so that he would not let Queen Wang feel lost.

Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with the situation in his harem, so he wanted to maintain this harmony.

Nanjing.

Since ancient times, Jinling has been a good place. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing has also been the capital of the state. Although it was later moved to Beijing, it still has a very important position here. Because without the weight of the capital, it seems more relaxed and prosperous.

Wang Yongji was also an official in Nanjing, so he was naturally familiar with it.

At that time, Wang Yongji was just a minister. He went to Nanjing to give birth to a doctor, and later promoted to the Minister of State. He was transferred to the Taxation Department as a minister. Every scene was like yesterday. Later, Wang Yongji also knew that he was promoted quickly because of the emperor's respect.

Since he arrived at the Taxation Department, Wang Yongji worked diligently and did not dare to make any mistakes. He also wanted to repay the emperor's kindness for his gratitude.

"What did Lord Wang remember?" Xu De smiled and came behind Wang Yongji and said, "In Nanjing City, Lord Wang is considered half a landlord. Why not take our house around to visit a post?"

Wang Yongji looked back at Xu De and said expressionlessly: "I am not in good health. Eunuch Xu wants to go, so please take care of yourself."

Xu De didn't care about Wang Yongji's attitude. This was not the first time along the way. In fact, only after getting along with people can we know whether they are in harmony. This is the case with Xu De and Wang Yongji.

Although when he was in Shandong, Wang Yongji's Xu De was brave and capable, when he really got along, Wang Yongji found that he and Eunuch Xu were really unable to get along. For example, he didn't understand. A eunuch wanted to go to the Qinhuai River to enjoy the wind and moon all day long, but I don't know what he thought.

"Mr. Wang, you are too nervous!" Xu De said with a smile: "It's not that Jiangnan has nothing wrong."

In fact, after the two arrived in Nanjing, they found that the officials and gentry here were doing a smooth job of paying food together, and all the fields on the fish scale book could be collected, and no gentry in any place made trouble and did not pay taxes.

Even some officials who sent scholars did not make a fuss, and they all obediently paid the money.

The tax replenishment was also going smoothly. Everyone came to pay the tax. Even if someone hid the land, there was not much. The local tax department could handle it quickly. Xu De and Wang Yongji could not use it at all. Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already reported that the officials and gentry had completed the food payment, and the local raising silver was being checked.

Seeing Wang Yongji frowning and looking worried, Xu De smiled and said, "Does Lord Wang think there is a conspiracy?"

"What are the great opinions of Eunuch Xu?" Wang Yongji turned his head and looked at Xu De and asked.

"Gao Jian is not a question, he knows something!" Xu De made a gesture of invitation to Wang Yongji, and then sat down: "In fact, there are several reasons for the matter."

"The first reason is that the blood in Yangzhou has not dried yet!" At this point, Xu De smiled first: "It's thanks to our Eunuch Zhang."

Of course, Wang Yongji knew what this said, and also knew that the Eunuch Zhang who Xu De mentioned was Zhang Jing. After arriving in Nanjing, Wang Yongji also felt the power of this Eunuch Zhang. It was not much worse to say that Zhi Xiaoer cried at night. Although his reputation was not good, the shock was real.

"The second is that people in Jiangnan are busy with another thing, that is, the Northwest Trade Road."

"Now there are people who are rumoring that they will be restored to the Silk Road. Does Lord Wang know how much money it is? The Internal Affairs Office purchased one million taels of goods here a few days ago, and now the fleet is back."

"One million taels, how long has it been!" Xu De said with some sigh: "I heard that a large number of craftsmen will be recruited this time."

"I heard from my family that the carpenters in Nanjing have good craftsmanship and the price has been 200 taels a year. Lord Wang, how much is your annual salary?"

Wang Yongji is now the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and receives a third-rank salary, 35 s of rice, and then it is gone. With some other income, if you don’t embezzle, one hundred taels a year will be a big mark, two hundred taels a year. For a carpenter, it is definitely a big money.

"This is too high, right?" Wang Yongji said with a little dumbfounded.

"This is not high at all!" Xu De said with a smile: "If you want to meet a textile factory in the northwest, you need a large number of looms and a large number of carpenters. Now everyone is snatching carpenters and snatching wind."

Wang Yongji Moran.

"For the gentry in Jiangnan, these are nothing at all, how much tax can the land be."

"Of course, there is another thing, that is, all the ministers in the court have written letters. Mr. Wang Guoguang, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Revenue, Mr. Zhang Xueyan, and several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Mr. Shen Ge, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, have all written letters."

"Strictly require the family to pay grain, and take the lead in paying grain."

Wang Yongji Moran, this would be a death-taking. Most of these people were from Jiangnan. When they wrote a letter, they were to express their attitude and ask their families, but they were also asking for local officials.

Wang Guoguang, Minister of Personnel, was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel for more than ten years. His disciples and old friends all over the world.

His words are definitely more effective than trying for a month.

"In addition, Lord Wang has shown his power in Shandong, and it is normal that no one in Jiangnan dares to act rashly!" Xu De said with a smile: "So Lord Wang, keep your heart in your stomach and accompany our family to the Qinhuai River for a walk. Our family has longed for the Qinhuai Fengyue."

Wang Yongji glanced at Xu De, then said, "Eunuch Xu has known this for a long time?"

Looking at Wang Yongji's expression, Xu De was a little embarrassed. He just watched Wang Yongji's joke and was a little proud. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be admitted. Xu De shook his head and said, "Of course not, why can't we just get the news."

Wang Yongji was not stupid, so of course he would not believe Xu De's words. He nodded and then turned and left calmly: "Eunuch Xu should go by himself! The half-official family has a bad wife, so it is not advisable to go to the Fengyue Scene. Besides, court officials are strictly prohibited from visiting brothels."

Looking at Wang Yongji's back, Xu De could only smile bitterly. These civil servants really scolded people without swearing.

I had a wife in the family, and it was obvious that I was a castrated man. In front of the castrated man, my wife was so vicious. I also mocked the eunuchs to go to the brothel. Later, I also said that I was walking around the Qinhuai River when I was doing the job, and I was very aggrieved by the combination of punches.

I want to refute it but I can’t help but say that I am talking about myself, but I can only recognize it.

However, thinking of Wang Yongji's appearance a few days ago, Xu De's face showed a smile again. This wave is not bad. Thinking of Wang Yongji's appearance along the way, Xu De smiled happier, all of which were the pleasure of revenge. In order to celebrate this grand event, the Qinhuai River began!

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun then put aside a memorial. The trend of the memorial was a little unfair recently. Many people began to post memorials to praise the coming of prosperity and the rejuvenation of the Lord, which made Zhu Yijun a lot more alert.

This kind of thing cannot be said yet. If someone submits memorials to flatter you, you can't issue an order to denounce it!

After looking at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun put down the memorial in his hand, and then said, "You don't need to send such memorials in the future. It's enough to listen to you, an old guy, flatter me every day."

Zhang Jing quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is recognized by the government and the public, but it is not what Lao Nu said alone."

After laughing and scolding, Zhu Yijun reached out and picked up a memorial again. After a glance, Zhu Yijun's face became serious. This memorial was from the inner factory and was handed over by Xu De from Nanjing.

The content of the memorial is similar to what Xu De said to Wang Yongji, and he describes the situation in Jiangnan in detail.

Zhu Yijun did not expect that officials and gentry could find a breakthrough here by paying food together. Those gentry who were doing business began to do business. No one was willing to cause trouble for tax payment at this time. After all, everyone now relies on the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

No one doesn’t know what kind of yamen the Ministry of Internal Affairs is. It is unwise to anger the emperor at this time.

Zhu Yijun also saw another point, that is, the intimidation of these ministers in the court. These people wrote a letter to the place, which was even easier to use than their own imperial edicts. It was still not prestige enough!

But this is not something that happens overnight, and prestige is not established in one day.

It will probably take a long time to reach the point of saying things and saying things. Perhaps it will be possible to clear the north of Mobei by yourself.

Perhaps the north has little interests, so it is far better to focus on the south and on the sea, but its political significance is different. The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties were considered to be strong was because they wiped out the grasslands and established their status as overlords.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was considered a weak gift was largely because they lost the overlord status of the Han people.

Only by sweeping away the northern part of the Mo can one achieve unprecedented reputation, far exceeding Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Taizu. At that time, his imperial edict will be a veritable imperial edict.

As for fighting south, it is probably to defeat India and expand its territory, and its significance is not as big as sweeping away the grassland.

In fact, after destroying the Ola, Zhu Yijun already had this feeling. Standing in the court, the attitude of the ministers towards him could be seen. They were more awe and respectful, and this was the power.
