Daming reckless man

Chapter 420 Returning to Beijing
Chapter 420

Yan Song is worried at home, and Xu Jie is also worried at home. He also has some disciples in the south. Those disciples have already heard the news, saying that they heard that Zhang Hao is going to the south to supervise the taxation. They wrote a letter. To Xu Jie, ask if this is true?

Xu Jie could only say in the letter that now the imperial decree has been withdrawn, let them rest assured, and also ask them to help inquire to see if there is someone who is unfavorable to his son-in-law, if so, let them write a letter immediately When I came back, I was very grateful on my side. After writing the letter, Xu Fan also went to Xu Jie's study and began to sit there and make tea.

"Has the spring sowing in Shuntian Mansion been completed?" Xu Jie asked.

"It's done, now we are just looking at those houses. Anyway, we in Shuntian Prefecture are rich, and now we are going to build roads. This is what my brother-in-law said. We plan to connect all the counties and major villages in Shuntian Prefecture with roads. Get up, you must be able to pass two carriages!" Xu Fan sat there and said.

"Building roads, and connecting them all? Nonsense, Shuntian Mansion is rich, so it's not like spending money like that?" Xu Jie said very unhappy when he heard it.

"What's wrong?" Xu Fan looked at his father incomprehensibly.

"Right now, Shuntian Mansion is rich in money. It builds houses for the common people and builds roads. Now that we have money, what will we do when we run out of money? On the Emperor's side, it is estimated that there will be tax exemption for a few more years. By then, Shuntian Mansion will have no money. Why don't you continue looking for Chaotang?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan and asked.

"Why can't we have it? Isn't our Shuntian Mansion not owned by Daming? If we can have it with other state capitals, why can't we have it?" Xu Fan immediately replied,
Xu Jie looked at him.

"Originally, we also spend money to do things for the people. You don't know how muddy the roads are now, and it's impossible to walk on rainy days. If the roads are repaired, businessmen from all over the world will also pass by. In our counties, they are top-notch, but those who need accommodation can also make our people earn money. Moreover, if the people have good things, they can also get them to sell in the capital, and they can also make money. Why can’t they repair Road?" Xu Fan immediately looked at Xu Jie and asked.

"You, you just learned from Zhang Hao day by day, how much does it cost to build roads? Don't you know how to save some money from Shuntian Mansion?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan, very helpless, this kid is now being held by Zhang Hao. It was broken.

"The budget is 80 taels. If we have money, we don't need to ask you for it. Anyway, most of the money will be given to the common people. When the time comes, we will call the common people to build roads!" Xu Fan said to Xu Jie,

When Xu Jie heard it, forget it, he still didn’t want to argue with Xu Fan, but Zhang Hao still needs to be reminded about this matter. He is now the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, but it doesn’t mean that he has always been, if he spends all the money , when the successor is impeached, it will be troublesome, and there is no need to spend this money like this!

"By the way, what news have you heard about Zhang Hao?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan and asked.

"No, we are busy. We are very busy every day. Tomorrow, I will go to Huairou to watch the construction of those houses. I will try to get the beams up quickly. Otherwise, when it rains, the people will have no place to live. If After the beam is erected, the people can still hide from the rain in their own homes, and when the time comes, they can also take advantage of the rain to do the work inside!" Xu Fan shook his head and said,
When Xu Jie heard it, he sighed, and didn't want to talk to his son. Now he was only thinking about their Shuntian Mansion, and he didn't care about other things, and you still couldn't understand him, so you might as well not talk about it.

In the morning of the next day, Zhang Hao set off at Xuanhua, and things here were pretty much busy. It wasn’t until evening that Zhang Hao returned to the capital. When he arrived in the capital, Zhang Hao didn’t go home, but went straight to Danfang. here.

"Your Majesty, hey, I'm back!" Zhang Hao went in with a smile, and said to Jiajing who was sitting there drinking tea and reading the memorial.

"You son of a bitch, why did you have a headache today? So it's you who came back?" Jiajing smiled and cursed immediately when he saw Zhang Hao.

"Damn, it must be because you didn't sleep well, what does it have to do with my coming back?" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Jiajing with contempt and said.

"Okay, after staying in Xuanhua for so many days, what are you busy with? Can you rest in Xuanhua now?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Who said I was resting there, I was there to investigate, and investigated a lot of things!" Zhang Hao took out a stack of papers, all of which were recorded by him, and handed them to Jiajing to look at.

"What?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao incomprehensibly and asked.

"I asked about those merchants. Take a look and see what can be improved!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing. Jiajing sat there with those papers and read them. As for those merchants, this is among the previous officials, but there is no such thing.

"Can you do something serious, kid?" Jiajing said disdainfully, and just flipped through Zhang Hao's records.

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. If we can solve the problems of the common people, and the common people can still rebel, I don't believe it. The common people have a good life, and who will kill their heads? Back then, Taizu was There is no way to live, and you are forced to rebel, isn't this something to be vigilant about?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and asked.

"But, the businessmen you targeted this time, the life of the businessmen is very easy! They are not ordinary people!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"They are better off, and the people are better off. Merchant goods don't come out of thin air. They need to hire people to work, and they need ordinary people to produce for them. When they make money, ordinary people can also make money. Moreover, it is recorded here , It’s not just a businessman’s problem, your majesty, you still have to look, is there any food? I’m starving to death!” Zhang Hao stood there and said to Jiajing.

"Didn't Lu Fang arrange it for you? Okay, let me take a look!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao, then took the records and looked at them,

And Zhang Hao just found a place to sit down and wait for the meal,
The more Jiajing looked at it, the more interested he was. Many things seemed to be small things that could be solved by the court, but they couldn't be solved, and a lot of time was wasted for no reason. Those businessmen also said that there was no problem in paying the money, but every Every time you go to a place, you have to pay. If you say that the money is collected uniformly, and after the money is collected, they can start transporting everywhere. Then the money will not be less, but the merchants will transport the goods faster.

In addition, there is the problem of roads. The roads in various places are very difficult to walk. Some businessmen donate money to let the people build roads. Originally, the repairs that arrived were the affairs of the court, but now no one cares about them. Complaining that those taxes have gone to no one knows where, the roads are not in charge, and the money is collected faster than anyone else!

Jiajing sat there and read it for a long time. After reading it, he thought for a while and said to Zhang Hao: "This record is very good, I want to take a closer look. In addition, let the new cabinet go to see it when the time comes. By the way, the cabinet I have already drawn up the list, and it is estimated that there will be objections from officials at that time, and you will be sitting in the capital for a few days!"

"I was originally in the capital, and my workshop is going to focus on work now!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said,

"That's good!" Jiajing nodded,
Soon, Lu Fang came over with food,
Zhang Hao sat there and started to eat immediately, while Jiajing took Zhang Hao’s record and continued to look at it. At the same time, he also took a cinnabar pen and began to write on it. For some important things, Jiajing also used a cinnabar pen to draw lines to distinguish the key points. Come.

"Lu Fang, you have to show these materials to the three princes tomorrow and let them study them carefully!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang after reading it carefully!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Fang immediately nodded with a smile and said, every time Zhang Hao went out, he could bring good news to Jiajing.

And Zhang Hao also finished eating, wiped his mouth, and stood up.

"Your Majesty, I'm going back!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said.

"You son of a bitch, you treat my place as a cafeteria, wipe your mouth and leave after eating?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao angrily and said.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just talk about it, and if you have nothing to do, I'll go back!" Zhang Hao said, looking at Zhang Hao incomprehensibly.

"Get off!" Jiajing immediately waved to Zhang Hao when he heard this!

"Hey, good!" Zhang Hao left immediately, Jiajing gritted his teeth in hatred,

Lu Fang stood there holding back her laughter, and only Zhang Hao could ignore Jiajing's anger.

"This bastard, look, he doesn't take me seriously at all!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.

"Your Majesty, he respects you the most in his heart!" Lu Fang immediately said to Jiajing.

"This bastard is much better than those people who can only be submissive. Just this character, hey, I want to change him!" Sitting there, Jiajing said with a smile and a sigh.

"Can it be changed? Usually it looks fine, but if you are in a hurry, something big will happen!" Lu Fang immediately said to Jiajing.

"Hey!" Jiajing sighed when he heard it.
As for the news of Zhang Hao’s return to Beijing, many ministers knew about it and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Hao’s return to Beijing meant that Zhang Hao hadn’t gone to the south. As long as he didn’t go to the south, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Now they just want to keep an eye on whether Zhang Hao will go to the south this year. If he does, they need to think of a countermeasure. Zhang Hao went straight to his home, went to the front yard to greet his mother, and then returned. own small courtyard.

"Husband is back, and the bath water is ready. Let Shu'er give you a good massage. You must be exhausted?" Xu Shiyun saw Zhang Hao's return, and immediately greeted him, smiling and said to Zhang Hao .
