A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 654 Fourth Girl Is Pregnant
The main hall of the Japanese Imperial Palace
Master Da Nayanyuan looked at the time, it was almost "noon (11 o'clock)", an hour had passed since the decree was issued, and he looked around the court, and the officials came here at random, so they took yellow Roll roll began.Usually, before the roll call, the internal officials need to come forward to calm down the bureaucrats. Today, each station is straight and honest, like a rabbit. After a while, the roll call is over, and 69 officials are summoned. In fact, there are 48, and there are 21 more. absent.

Wang Lidong took a look at the roster and found that there were officials at all levels, so he summoned the commander of the guard regiment, "These 21 companies have been confiscated! If you are not at home, post a notice and search for the whole city."

The commander of a regiment stood upright and said, "Yes, the commander-in-chief."

Wang Lidong said to Da Nayan Yuan Shifang, "Let's start the court meeting."

A group of officials saluted Emperor Goreizumi as usual, and shouted long live three times.

The officials were still alive, Wang Lidong pointed at Hou Lengquan angrily, "Bold! Japan is a small country with a population of only 600 million, and dare to call itself the emperor." Regardless of Hou Lengquan's reaction, Wang Lidong cupped his hands in the direction of Song Dynasty, "My big brother! His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, with the destiny of heaven, the people of Anli, the territory of tens of thousands of miles of people, and thousands of soldiers under his command, he only dares to call himself the emperor. Come on! Pull this rebellious and false emperor out, and kneel with that Fujiwara Yoritsu! "

Seeing two menacing men rushing to him, Hou Lengquan cried out, "Governor, this is a misunderstanding. Xiao Wang has always called himself the King of Japan, and this Emperor is... yes."

Seeing Japanese King JJYY muttering non-stop, a guard skillfully slapped him twice, and took out a black cloth to cover his mouth.

Seeing his own emperor being dragged out of the hall by the people of Song Dynasty like a defeated dog, the officials were terrified and fell silent, and regretted coming to the palace to wade into the muddy water
Wang Lidong did not disappoint the officials. With the information obtained earlier, the forces belonging to Fujiwara Yorimichi were named one by one, and then they were dragged out of the court. There were more than 30 people missing at once, and the entire hall was quite empty. .

"Origin Master Room."

The little old man said respectfully, "Great governor, the subordinate is here."

Wang Lidong Road,

"Hou Lengquan dared to call himself the emperor. He despised the imperial power. It is really treasonous. What crime do you think should be punished?"

Yuan Shifang's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After waiting for a while, seeing that this guy was still silent, Wang Lidong sneered, "It seems that Da Nayan is still a loyal minister? Come here."

Loyal minister a p!

Seeing two strong men heading straight towards him, Yuan Shifang hurriedly said, "According to the law of the Japanese country, this is a crime of treason!"

"Very good!" Wang Lidong turned around and said to the courtiers, "How should I be punished for plotting treason?" Seeing that everyone was silent, he called the names one by one, and those who refused to answer all went outside and knelt down.

"Slay the decision, the Yi tribe."

"Slay the decision, the Yi tribe."

"."

Except for the first one who had a hard scalp and was dragged out of the hall, the rest of the officials were still very knowledgeable. Wang Lidong said to Geng Jinbiao, the commander of the Fifth Regiment,

"Did you hear what all the adults said just now?"

Geng Jinbiao stood upright and said, "The humble official listens clearly, and the decision is made, the barbarians."

Wang Lidong said, "Except for the wives of the Japanese royal family, the Fujiwara Yorimichi family will also be executed as the crime of treason. First, all those who can be found in the palace will be executed under the eaves. If they are not in the palace, a warrant will be issued and the whole city will be searched."

Geng Jinbiao saluted with a 'snap', "Yes, the governor!"

After a quarter of an hour or so, the guards escorted a large group of men from the Japanese royal family and the Fujiwara family to the outside of the hall, "Boom, boom!"

A series of sounds of frying soybeans sounded, and the Fujiwara family that had ruled the Wa country for nearly 200 years disappeared in smoke.

"Genshibo, you will take over Fujiwara Yorimichi's position as the Minister of the Wa Kingdom (Prime Minister)"

The pale-faced Yuan Shifang 'Putong' knelt down and kowtowed, "Your servant accepts the decree! Thank you for your grace!"

If it had been before, he would have hesitated for a while. No official in the Wa Kingdom has surrendered to a foreign race for thousands of years.Now? I glanced at the emperor who was lying in a pool of blood. The Wa Kingdom has been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, so it is not considered a surrender!
Wang Lidong smiled and helped Yuan Yuan to the master's room, then looked at the officials in the hall, pointed to the middle-aged official who was the first to go to court and asked, "What's your name?"

Hongzong of Xiyuan Temple hurriedly came out and said, "My minister, Minshi Qing, Hongzong of Xiyuan Temple."

Wang Lidong said, "Ren Zuo Minister (Deputy Prime Minister)."

Hongzong of Xiyuan Temple knelt down and kowtowed with excitement on his face, "Your minister accepts the decree! Thank you for your grace!"

Jump 5 levels in one breath!What a nectar!Cang Jie is worthy of being the "No. [-] wise man in a thousand years" of the Xiyuan Temple family, and he really has nothing to omit.

Wang Lidong appointed three more officials who came earlier and were pleasing to the eye, and all of them were sealed as deputy prime ministers, and five people formed a cabinet, similar to the modern standing committee.

The rest of the official positions will be decided by the five people. If there is any dispute, it will be decided by voting!
Wang Lidong ordered an internal official, "Bring all the inner princes into the palace."

Inner Prince, the title of the princess of the Japanese royal family, the female heirs within three generations of the direct line are called "Inner Princes", and the female heirs beyond the third generation are called "Queen", which reflects the close relationship with the emperor, and the monthly living expenses are also different.Simply put, the inner prince is the princess, and the queen is the princess.

After a while, Hou Lengquan's four nieces (Hou Lengquan had no children) were brought into the hall.

Among the four, the eldest, Prince Atsuko, is ten years old this year, and the youngest, Prince Atsuko, is only 2 years old and has not yet been weaned. The three little girls are already sensible. Seeing Wang Lidong is like meeting a big devil. Couldn't help shivering.

After sizing up the three of them, Wang Lidong was a little disappointed. He looked at Prince Duzinei, who was being hugged by a thin woman. He looked kawaii.

Then it's so small.

After receiving the imperial decree prepared earlier from the chief of staff Gu Chengyi, he walked to the king's seat of the Japanese kingdom. After sitting down, he spread out the imperial decree in his hand and asked Yuan Shifang, "What is the name of Prince Duzinei?"

Yuan Shifang hurriedly replied, "Jinggong Duzi."

Wang Lidong took the writing brush on the case table, and filled in the words "Jinggong Duzi" in a blank space of the imperial decree. All the officials looked at Her Majesty the Queen who was spitting bubbles, but they also breathed a sigh of relief. , as long as the boss in name doesn’t change, I’m still a good courtier of the Wa Kingdom,
After blowing a few breaths, seeing that the ink was slightly dry, Wang Lidong asked the skinny woman to hold the queen of the Wa country on the throne and sit down, and motioned everyone to kneel down to accept the order.
"My heart is sympathetic to the death of Leng Quan after reading the performance of Er Zu.

Jinggong Duzi, smart since childhood, benevolent and filial in nature, has the virtue of a long-standing man. He was named the king of the Wa Kingdom and succeeded to the state affairs.

Qin Zai, don't take my life! Therefore, I will tell you. "

All the people kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, take the decree to thank you! Long live, long live, long live!"

The enthronement ceremony of the new king came to an end with the three shouts of long live from the courtiers. Although it was a bit simple, the queen seemed to be in a very good mood, crawling around on the throne, making babbling laughter from time to time.

Wang Lidong handed a prepared document to the new prime minister, Yuan Shifang took it carefully, opened it and read it carefully, greatly disappointed.

I thought that the governor would unify the Wa country, but I didn't expect to only occupy Kyoto and Osaka Castle and a few minerals, and the other places remained as they were, and the nobles and landlords ruled.

The only difference from before is that the tax collectors have changed from the Fujiwara family to the Song people.

After all the officials finished reading the document, they were all a little depressed, and it was the same as before for a long time. There was still nothing to gain, and the power was even smaller than before.

Seeing this, Wang Lidong threw out a carrot, "Reserve [-]% of all taxes received every year for the various expenses of the imperial court."

The officials immediately regained their spirits. These words were too straightforward. 26% was regarded as the fee to bribe them, and how to divide the spoils was their own internal matter.I looked around and counted the heads, there were only [-] people in total, and there were some heads.

Currently, there are 88 towns of arable land recorded in the country of Wa (1 town = 10 squares, about 9917 square meters, or about 1 hectare), which translates to 1300 million mu.

The agricultural tax is "six publics and four peoples", 60% of the grain output goes to the imperial court, and 40% goes to the farmers, of course, the landlord's rent is not counted.

If you encounter a black-hearted lord, on the land that can only produce [-] shi of grain, the tax + land rent, the tenant farmers have to pay [-] shi of grain, and there is an upside-down phenomenon, so peasant uprisings often occur everywhere.

Today, the output of one mu of land is 200 catties, which is equal to 0.77 shi, (one shi in the country of Wa is equal to 130 kilograms), and the agricultural tax of the whole country of Wa is 600 million shi of grain.

In recent years, the price of one stone of grain has been around 2.5 taels, and the agricultural tax alone can collect 1500 million taels of silver a year.

Holy crap, so many!

Wang Lidong was taken aback by this astonishing agricultural tax. The total tax revenue in Goryeo is only 400 million guan. The agricultural tax is 60%. The hearts, livers, spleens and lungs of Japanese nobles are all black
No wonder the little book is so short, it causes famine all day long, and when the gods come, they have to be as thin as hemp stalks!
"What's the tax situation of the lords and landlords in these years?" Wang Lidong asked the prime minister.

The Prime Minister Genshifang immediately called the former Dazang Daisuke (the Minister of the Household Department), and the middle-aged man with a square face saluted and then reported, "To the governor, the average annual tax revenue can only be 241 to [-]%. Last year, Adding all taxes together, we only received [-] million taels of silver."

Wang Lidong asked, "Does the Ministry of Finance have records of the details of tax arrears over the years?"

Daisuke Daizo replied, "Only in the last 20 years."

It's a pity!
Wang Lidong said to the prime minister, "In ten days, I want to see a list of all the taxes owed by all the lords and landlords in the country in the last 20 years."

Prime Minister Yuan Shifang asked uncertainly, "Grand Governor, are you planning to recover the tax owed in the past?"

Wang Lidong said, "Paying taxes is the obligation and responsibility of every Japanese citizen, and there is no less than a penny owed for so many years." After finishing speaking, he added a sentence, "Half of all the taxes recovered will go to the imperial court. .”

The prime minister looked puzzled, "Governor, not to mention the tax arrears in the past, even this year's tax, I only received more than 30 taels, just sort it out"

Wang Lidong patted the little old man on the shoulder, pointed to the guards beside him and said, "You guys just sort out the tax bills, and there will be a special person in charge of paying the tax debts!"

The governor sends troops, no matter how much money is owed, he can recover it!
The prime minister immediately calculated in his mind that if all the taxes owed are recovered, the court can get 3000 to 300 million taels, and he can get at least [-] million taels.
excitement!
Bet right!
Dazang Daisuke asked aloud, "Great Governor, what if there are lords or landlords who can't afford so much tax money?"

Wang Lidong sneered, "All the houses within the three clans were confiscated, and all the shop land was sold. If there is not enough, the three clans will work to pay off the debt!"

hiss!
Rebellion is also the Yi tribe, at most a neck pain, and it's over.
Too ruthless!

Still, it deserves it!
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Walking down the gangway, Wang Lidong looked at the noisy Bianjing West Wharf, and finally went home!
A heat wave hit, and I looked up at Brother Sun. I didn't expect to go out for such a long time this time, and it was already June.

Originally, it was planned that it could be done within 20 days at the most. Unexpectedly, when the tax arrears were being pursued, the lords from all over the country resisted fiercely and killed several officials who came to urge them to pay.

He could only stay and sit in the town in person, and the governor of the country in Japan personally led the troops to make an example to the monkeys, and killed dozens of the most popular noble lords, so that the small books everywhere would be honest.Before returning, it took another ten days to visit five gold and silver mines
Fugui and the eldest maid Chunlan who had been waiting at the pier for a long time trotted forward when they saw the young man, Chunlan said with a happy face, "My lord, you are finally back, the empress and the man are so worried! "

Wang Lidong was also very happy to see the two of them, and said with a smile, "Didn't I send a telegram the day before yesterday to report that they were safe. Is there nothing wrong at home?"

Chunlan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, but there have been several major incidents in the capital."

Wang Lidong and the senior manager of the Four Seas Trading Company who came to pick up the ship gave some instructions. Among the six merchant ships that came back with him this time, three of them were loaded with gold and silver.

When he left Kyoto, he ransacked his home and paid additional taxes, and received 1 million taels of silver and more than 5 million taels of gold.Among them, the Japanese royal family contributed more than 220 million silver, and the Fujiwara family is the most important one. It is worthy of being the family that has ruled the Japanese country for 1000 years. The found silver in the family has more than 200 million silver and 7000 million taels of gold.
I have worked hard for several years, and only saved tens of millions of coins. It only took me a month to travel to Japan, and I had dozens of times the income.

No wonder western white skins like to rob so much, the money comes so fast!

Now that East Asia has been fully patronized, the next target can only choose the south for the time being.
Leaving Fugui to stay at the pier to help take care of the spot, Wang Lidong got into the carriage, took a bamboo jar of 'grape juice', opened the stopper and drank a couple of sips, feeling comfortable!
"My lord, it's better to go back home now." Chunlan asked.

The three Korean flowers have not been watered for a month, Wang Lidong said, "Go to Haidongyuan first. What's the big deal in the capital?"

Chunlan whispered, "Gu Hou has passed away!"

Is Gu Yankai dead?

Is it still the same as in the TV series, Gu Tingye vomited blood in anger, and then died.

"How did you die?"

"I heard that Gu Erlang wanted to let the outer room come in as a concubine, but Gu Hou disagreed, Gu Erlang said some nasty things, Gu Hou was so angry that he vomited blood, and he couldn't save him in the end."

"When did you die?"

"Five days ago."

Wang Lidong sighed, "Gu Erlang is about to hang up!"

In the TV series, after Gu Yankai died, Gu Tingye seemed to be on the hook, his force value soared to MAX, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes bowed down. There are two emperors, who were finally promoted and raised, became the head of the security department, married a female pig's foot, and reached the pinnacle of life from then on.

"Hacking?" Chunlan couldn't understand.

Wang Lidong didn't explain, and continued to ask, "What else?"

"The top 5 clans ranked in the literary examination this time were made dukes by the old emperor. I heard that King Yan lost his temper that day and smashed the study."

"Which five clans are they?"

"Zhao Zonghong from Xiangzhou, Zongxia Zhao from Yanzhou, Shizhen Zhao from Yunzhou, Cesong Zhao from Xinzhou, Shikuo Zhao from Lanzhou."

"It's not a prince yet, this Yanwang"

Chunlan sized up Young Master Fan, hesitated for a while and finally said, "Something happened to the Sheng family."

Wang Lidong glanced at Chunlan and asked, "Isn't it Xiao Wu?"

"It's not the fifth girl, it's the fourth girl of the Sheng family."

"Sheng Molan? What happened? Engaged?"

Chunlan said, "The fourth girl is here!"

"Cough cough cough!" Wang Lidong was drinking grape juice and choked on the shocking news, "Sheng Molan is pregnant?!"
