Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 328 I am still a child

Zhu Qiyu took the notebook handed over by Lin Cunde and looked at it carefully!

He actually likes to read the things compiled by Lin Cunde. They are clear and organized, and he also does some analysis on those issues!

This allows Zhu Qiyu to quickly understand the following things!

It was already two quarters of an hour after Zhu Qiyu finished reading!

"Is this book for me too?" Zhu Qiyu took the book and asked Lin Cunde.

"Yes, these are all things written by me in the south, all for His Majesty!" Lin Cunde said, pointing to the package next to him.

"What else is there?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde very curiously and asked.

"Don't worry about this, we are still talking about how to use the treasury money!" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu with a sneer and said.

"Well, can you write a memorial? You said too much, and I'm worried that I won't remember it. I know that what you said is very beneficial to my Ming Dynasty. Since you don't agree with me, my Ming Dynasty is now open to the outside world. If we want to fight, then we won’t fight externally. As you said, we really need to let the people recuperate!" Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment and said to Lin Cunde!

In fact, he also wants to gain the support of the people, especially the hope that he can quickly promote the New Deal, fight corruption, and take back those lands!

When Lin Cunde heard this, he was also worried that Zhu Qiyu wouldn't remember it after saying so much, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will write the memorial in the next few days!"

"Don't worry, just write it before the new year begins!" Zhu Qiyu said immediately. He also hoped that Lin Cunde could have a good rest.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Cunde said, cupping his hands to Zhu Qiyu.

"Well, how should we tell the ministers about the land?" Zhu Qiyu stared at Lin Cunde and asked!

"It's very simple. The land will not be released now. If it is released, it will definitely impact the local land prices and cause harm to the people's land prices. Moreover, if the land is bought by those landlords, it will also increase the people's land rent. The national treasury now has If you don’t want money, we won’t deal with those lands. If the treasury is empty in the future, you can consider selling those lands!

Now, His Majesty just wants to let the people have land to farm, pay less land rent, and let the people have more food!

For such reasons, those ministers did not dare to object. They wanted to buy the land and also hoped to collect rent from the people. Now His Majesty directly waives the rent and only needs to pay the land tax! This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. I believe those civil servants dare not object! "Lin Cunde sat there and told Zhu Qiyu his reasons!

"Okay, now that the ministers really don't dare to say anything, it's settled!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and agreed with Lin Cunde's statement!

Lin Cunde thought for a moment and asked Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, do you know how much land the court controls now?"

"I know. I asked the Supervisor of Ceremonies to count it. The total is 9,271,3211 acres!" Zhu Qiyu said directly to Lin Cunde.

"How will your Majesty manage such a large amount of land?" Lin Cunde continued to ask.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde in confusion. Didn't he say before that he would leave it to the local county magistrate to manage? Why ask now.

"Those lands also need to be managed by people. It doesn't mean that they can be handed over to the local county magistrate. The local county magistrate can allocate the land to other people at will. Moreover, they may also slowly erode the land, and even say that it will be replaced by other people. After all, there is so much land, it is impossible for His Majesty to visit every acre! This will leave opportunities for those officials! Therefore, those lands still need to be inspected!" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu and said.

"Inspection?" Zhu Qiyu also began to think deeply.

After a while, he said: "You are right, I can't think too well of the county magistrates below. Although the land deed is in the palace, they will do whatever they want and they will find a way!

"Yes, so we need to send people to inspect and deal with disputes and problems caused by the land!" Lin Cunde said to Zhu Qiyu.

"Well, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Qiyu then asked.

"Yes, this is what I wrote about the land management methods for the control of the court. Those lands must not fall into the hands of those officials. They must be firmly controlled by His Majesty. Moreover, people must be sent to inspect from time to time. Once problems are discovered, they must be held accountable strictly, and officials must know that when dealing with land issues, they must be fair and just!" Lin Cunde said and took out a memorial from the package he brought. This was also written by Lin Cunde when he was in the south.

"Show me!" Zhu Qiyu immediately took it over and started looking through it. Lin Cunde sat there, waiting for Zhu Qiyu to finish reading.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhu Qiyu finished reading, and continued: "I will do as you say!" "Yes, there are also methods for evaluating the officials below, including several aspects. This memorial was discussed with Wang Zhi for a long time. , mutually agreed upon, so there are two of our names on it!" Lin Cunde said and took out another memorial, handed it to Zhu Qi and took it immediately!

Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance to any suggestions from Lin Cunde. He knows that although Lin Cunde doesn't like to talk, once he talks about it, he will be sure of it!

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu liked chatting with Lin Cunde, especially about the court affairs!

In Lin Cunde's package, there were seven or eight memorials, which were all things that Lin Cunde had been thinking about when he was on business in the south in the past few months, about the army, local officials, imperial examinations, salt and iron tea, etc.!

Lin Cunde did not directly send someone to deliver these memorials, but needed to deliver them in person. After all, the things he wrote could not be seen by the ministers, and most of them could not be known to the third party. Only Lin Cunde and Zhu Qiyu knew about them. .

When Zhu Qiyu finished reading those memorials, the sky was getting dark!

"Dong dong dong!" At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside!

Zhu Qiyu shouted, come in!

At this time, Cheng Jing came in, saluted Zhu Qiyu and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent several groups of people over to say that the Marquis of Luling is here. The Queen has already prepared meals and can deliver them to Qianqing Palace at any time. Besides, Your Majesty, it’s getting late and it’s time to turn on the lamp!”

"Well, Cunde will have dinner at Qianqing Palace in the evening!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

"Yes!" Cheng Jing stood up, started to light the candles, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily. When the Marquis of Luling returns later, he needs to arrange for more servants to accompany him!"

"Is it snowing heavily? Okay, okay, the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!" Lin Cunde also nodded and said. There is a little drought in the south this year, but after winter, it rains more in the south, which can be regarded as easing the drought. But after winter in the north, there is no rain or snow, although it is not serious. Drought will definitely have an impact on spring plowing and sowing next year!

It’s snowing heavily now, which is still good for the north!

"Okay, let's not talk about those official matters. When you come back this time, many ministers will probably visit you!" Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde with a smile.

"I closed the door to thank the guests. I want to rest for a while. I won't see anyone. Of course, I won't see anyone except His Majesty and Uncle Shi, but I'm exhausted this year!" Lin Cunde immediately waved his hand and said, he didn't want to see the guests, he was too tired!

"That's not possible. There are so many ministers who want to discuss things with you. It's just a matter of promotion. It's okay. Let's see you when you have time!" Zhu Qiyu reminded Lin Cunde with a smile.

"No matter, Your Majesty, my mission is completed anyway. How to promote it next is a matter for their civil servants. Everything still needs to be decided by Your Majesty. Anyway, I won't participate!" Lin Cunde shook his head and said, but he didn't want to went.

"No, you still need to participate in this matter. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. Since you don't want to see us, then we won't see you and take a rest first! In addition, Admiral of the Fifth Military Camp, you are not allowed to talk to me. Resign, when I ask you to resign, if you resign again, I know what you mean, but now, you are not allowed to resign!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde seriously and said.

"Your Majesty, brother-in-law, you can't do this. I'm only seventeen years old. I'm only eighteen after the Chinese New Year. Do you think that eighteen-year-old man is as busy as me? Besides, I'm still an unmarried person. My child!" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu and shouted with tears in his eyes.

When Zhu Qiyu heard what Lin Cunde said, he laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You give me a few more years and I will look for it carefully. You can rest assured that it will be three to five years at most, okay!"

"Hey, I'm just a child. I'm busy every day. When I was this old, I just listened to music. As for me, I was either going to kill people or on the way to kill people!" Lin Cunde said with a sigh.

"Okay, okay! It doesn't matter, just three to five years!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile and patted Lin Cunde's shoulder.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu led Lin Cunde to eat. After dinner, Zhu Qiyu asked Jin Yiwei to take Lin Cunde home!

By the time we got home, it was already very late, and Lin Cunyi and the others had also come over.

"Second brother, hang a sign at the door. I won't see guests before the Lantern Festival!" Lin Cunde said to Lin Cunyi behind him as he walked to the living room.

"Ah!" Lin Cunyi looked at Lin Cunde in surprise. Lin Cunde was not at home today, and someone came over to hand him the sign.

"Of course, except for Shibo and the two clan uncles, no one has met, including Yu Qian, Chen Xun and others, as well as those nobles. They just said that I am exhausted and need to rest now!" Lin Cunde continued.

"Yes, but what happened?" Lin Cunyi nodded and looked at Lin Cuunde worriedly and asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired, but exhausted!" Lin Cunde said and opened the door of the study. The stove has been burned in the study, which is very warm. In addition, the tea table is all cleaned up. These are all I made it after Qiu Shuang came back!

"Then you need to rest. You have a good rest. I will block the things happening outside. I won't go anywhere during this time!" Lin Cunyi heard this and nodded quickly.
