Huang Xiao's time and space gate is still a transfer mechanism.
Use modern Huang Xiao's courtyard as a transit point to travel between the two worlds!
Of course, you can choose to land in a small courtyard, or you can transfer directly without landing.
Huang Xiao took a few people back to the small courtyard, only stayed for a few minutes, and then took Li Zicheng and others directly back to Dahuang Village.
When they opened their eyes again, Li Zicheng and others found that they had returned to Dahuang Village.
This wonderful journey made several people very excited!
At the same time everyone checks each other.
Except for the five or six-year-old Qiu'er, who has not changed, everyone else has changed.
Huang Xiao was also observing.
Especially since it was his first time taking a child back and forth, he also wanted to know what changes would happen.
He went over and asked Qiu'er some questions, but didn't find any obvious changes.
He didn't pursue it anymore, as long as it wasn't anything bad.
Suddenly Li Guo shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, uncle, I think I may have received a gift from God!"
Like Wang Ergou, who returned from the fairy world and became extremely powerful, it was said by everyone that it was a gift from the gods.
After Li passed the test, he indeed gained the same ability!
This made Li Zicheng depressed and envious.
Huang Xiao had people arrange accommodation for Lin Jianhua and others.
Gave a teaching material to Li Zicheng.
"You take them there, and arrange their studies as well."
Several people went.
Huang Xiao went to Jinan Prefecture in Shandong Province without stopping.
Compared to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's side was much simpler. After he massacred the Confucius Mansion in Qufu, he marched towards Jinan Mansion with unstoppable momentum. After the Jurchen surrender, Yuan Keli had no worries and started his troops from Weihai Guard Point to push forward. , the two troops returned to the division under Jinan Prefecture.
Huang Hu naturally followed the good deeds and was recruited.
King Lu also surrendered in time.
Shandong was basically pacified, and what was left was governance. In this regard, Zhang Xianzhong was not enough.
After Huang Xiao passed by, he took Zhang Xianzhong directly back to Dahuang Village.
After Zhang Xianzhong learned that his sworn brother Li Zicheng had returned to Beijing in advance and that Li Guo had received a divine gift, he couldn't wait to see Li Zicheng after bidding farewell to Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao was also very tired and didn't want to move anymore.
However, the production of silver dollars still has to continue, and the banknotes are almost completed.
Huang Xiao went to Lublin again and sent Ergou and Tang Yu there.
Originally, Huang Xiao wanted to arrange for two people to replace him, but Tang Yu refused and Huang Xiao did not insist.
"Master, when should I go to Japan?" Ergou asked.
Huang Xiao shook his head: "This time, you won't go. After all, you have shown your face in China. There will be many opportunities in the future."
Ergou was slightly disappointed, and Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "This matter is not a trivial matter. Brother Wang, you have to follow the young master's arrangements, do you understand?"
Ergou smiled: "I know."
Huang Xiao smiled and nodded. He could see that after this period of time together, the relationship between the two had improved a lot, and Huang Xiao was happy to see it.
After returning to Dahuang Village, it was already dark.
Huang Ling had been waiting outside the room, and when she saw this, she quickly came over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come over and have dinner with me."
"good."
"I'll call Shang Yue'er."
Huang Ling said: "Young Mistress Yue'er has already passed over first. Seeing the prince working so hard, the empress and young mistress started preparing dinner in the afternoon."
Huang Xiao smiled. Huang Ling went.
The two courtyards were connected to each other. After Huang Xiao came back, Jinbao immediately reported it to Zhang Yan, and then Zhang Yan ordered the banquet to start and asked Huang Ling to come over and invite her.
It was just dark at this time, and Zhang Yan's small courtyard was already lit with lights.
When Huang Xiao entered, Zhang Yan stood at the door to greet him with a smile.
"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern."
Huang Xiao greeted with a smile.
Zhang Yan smiled: "Come in and have a meal. I have something to discuss with you later."
Huang Xiao sat down.
Yueniang brought Chen Xiujun, Jin Bao, and Yin Bao and served the dishes.
Zhang Yan sat opposite, with Yueniang beside her.
Huang Ling and others retreated.
Zhang Yan said softly: "The day after tomorrow is your big day, but you can't spare a moment, you are too busy. This is the ginseng and bird's nest soup specially stewed by my sister-in-law and Yue'er for you. You should drink it first."
"Um."
Huang Xiao is not polite either.
Not long after, the three of them had finished eating.
Huang Ling came over, cleared away the dishes, and served tea.
Yueniang stood up and said, "Your Majesty and the Young Master have something to discuss, I will go back first."
Zhang Yan nodded.
There were only two people left in the room.
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "Congratulations to my sister-in-law for being promoted to the general manager of Dahuang Village. People are really in high spirits when happy events happen. I see that my sister-in-law is in a very good mood today."
Zhang Yan smiled lightly.
After leaving the palace and returning to Dahuang Village for a long time, she felt like she had opened her prison and was free. After she felt relieved, her mood was naturally different.
"His Majesty asked me to take over Dahuang Village. I would like to discuss with you the manpower for management."
Huang Xiao waved his hand: "These sisters-in-law can make up their minds, I have no objection."
Zhang Yan agreed: "I will not make any changes to the rules and regulations you formulated. I am going to let Chen Xiujun and Huang Ling serve as deputy general managers, under the control of Sister Liu, and Liu Mei will be in charge of all farm affairs. What do you think?"
Huang Xiaodao: "These people are all well-informed people, and they are all women. They are easy to use. Let's do this for now. However, I suggest forming another women's army, led by the sister-in-law. After all, the sister-in-law is the queen and has to deal with the soldiers. , it’s always inappropriate.”
Zhang Yan nodded.
"Then let's do it. Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown to visit my family and preside over Zhen'er's wedding. I will announce the personnel changes after your wedding."
The two talked for a while, and Zhang Yan ended the conversation when she saw that Huang Xiao was tired.
…
In the Wenhua Hall, at this time, there were still many senior officials gathered. In addition to the five cabinet ministers, the imperial censor Gao Panlong, the left and right deputy imperial censors, Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, and other important ministers gathered together.
Opinions on the reform of commercial taxation have been discussed three times and there is still no agreement.
Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian advocated collecting the same as land tax, that is, one tax per ten.
And set a quota, and adopt low-tax or even tax-free measures for small traders in the market.
Strictly collect taxes from officials and gentry, and those who hide will be punished with death!
Gu Bingqian and Shao Fuzhong believed that the Hongwu Dynasty's thirty taxes should be collected.
And one size fits all, treating everyone equally.
Zuo Guangdou and the others naturally felt that it was too low and unfair to the common people and small traders.
This is just one aspect of disagreement.
In addition, disputes arose over the issue of the unified payment of grain by officials and gentry.
Zhang Ruitu, the Secretary of the Second Assistant Ministry of Rites, first proposed that this article should be reported to His Majesty, requesting that the officials and gentry should continue to be given exemptions and exemptions, but the amount could be appropriately reduced.
Yang Lian, on the other hand, argued hard. In his words, even the emperor stated that he wanted to pay taxes. Are the officials and gentry more powerful than the emperor?
Furthermore, now that salary reforms have been carried out, even if there are no exemptions and exemptions, everyone can live a good life, and we can't live in Longwangshu and don't know what is good or bad!
These words made Zhang Ruitu so angry that his nose twisted.
The last consultation meeting ended on bad terms again.
Everyone left the Wenhua Hall and dispersed.
