After returning home, Yu Qian stayed up all night. His Majesty saved 80,000 taels of silver. How can he spend every penny wisely? Qinyang Mansion's measures to suppress food prices also require Yu Qian to think carefully. .
As for the strategy he proposed to care for the elderly in two capitals and thirteen provinces, he also needs to sort it out.
He picked up a pen and wrote. In his opinion, in principle, regardless of whether they are Yao, Hui or other ethnic groups, as long as they have a household registration in the Ming Dynasty, they can enjoy the benevolent government of the court. However, on the issue of pork, they can be exchanged for grain of equivalent price.
However, Liaoping Prefecture, Hamiwei, Hetao, Annan and other areas that are not considered stable at this time are not included in this list.
At midnight, a little candlelight was still shining in the study.
Although it is not bright, it still guides the direction of Ming Dynasty...
And Li Xian and Xu Youzhen were not idle either.
Li Xian is a practical man who likes to use his brain. He has some ideas that are more forward-thinking than what Yu Qian thought. In his opinion, Ming Dynasty only needs to spread benevolent policies and budget 200,000 taels of silver. become.
To check the needs based on the number of people in each state capital, take the Yingtianfu area with the largest population as a comparison. If Yingtianfu only spent less than 10,000 taels of silver, and the number of elderly people over seventy years old was only 60,000 to 70,000, you alone The population of the state capital in a remote area is less than half of Yingtianfu.
If you need five thousand taels of silver, then you must have a problem, because the people in Yingtian Mansion are wealthy, the elderly are generally favored, and their life spans are relatively long. If your population is less than half, but your expenses are more than half, there will be no way to investigate. Lose.
As for how to investigate whether it was done or not, it is even simpler.
In the two capital areas, the imperial court has the ability to conduct self-examination.
The supervisory censors in remote areas must play a supervisory role, and officials must also supervise each other. If you report your boss, if the results are true, if he doesn't do it, you will.
Even if you peed in a pot and wore a pair of pants, with the blessing of the court's strategy, would you believe him?
However, this also has the disadvantage of putting officials at risk.
However, if an official does not have a sense of crisis, he will not have a sense of responsibility, and will neglect political affairs and people's livelihood, and will only harm the people of one side while in office.
By doing it year by year, the policy will be improved year by year. When His Majesty becomes an adult and takes charge, this set of graceful policies will accumulate experience and achieve great success. It can also be regarded as a wedding gift from Li Xian to His Majesty.
Xu Youzhen's study was also brightly lit.
He was crouching in front of the case, writing furiously, looking up at his wife from time to time.
"Madam, how about you go and rest first? My husband will be busy for a while."
"No, I have to go back with you as my wife, otherwise I won't know where you are going when I leave." ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Mrs. Wang no longer had any trust in Xu Youzhen. As long as she was not under her nose, she would run to Park Ningmei's room. This made Ms. Wang very scared and Xu Youzhen's body couldn't bear it.
And the most important thing is that the two have been married for more than 20 years and are an old couple. During sex a few days ago, Xu Youzhen bit her ear. This made Wang very frightened. He followed Park Ningmei to do what he did. What made Xu Youzhen learn so many strange and obscene skills?
"Madam, my husband is doing something important to benefit the country and the people. If you stay here, it will only distract me. Please go back quickly. I will never mess around."
The troubles of middle-aged Xu Youzhen: the younger wife is beautiful, but the older wife is strict with her...
Wang ignored Xu Youzhen and just sat there without speaking.
Xu Youzhen sighed and looked at the several strategies he had written down. His handling of this national policy was not as good as Yu Qian, Li Xian and others.
This is what Xu Youzhen discovered today.
It takes a lot of courage for an arrogant person to admit that he is inferior to others.
But Xu Youzhen is not afraid, he can learn, he is younger than Yu Qian, Li Xian and others, he has plenty of time to learn, and sooner or later he will surpass them two.
Fengtian Hall, the great court meeting.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair. He raised three fingers and shouted: "Today's court meeting, let's not talk about anything else. I am here today only to do three things..."
The officials looked at Your Majesty and couldn't help but look at me and you, King Ning's affairs, Liaodong's affairs, what three things...
Qinyang Mansion in the Ming Dynasty is backed by Taihang and Wangwu, with magnificent mountains and borders Shanxi.
Since the sixth year of Chenghua, Qinyang Prefecture has experienced extreme weather, heavy rains, and hail, which has led to a reduction in grain production. The people all feel that there is a lot of rain this year, and there is no rain during farming. The rain in the year seems to be in those three or four It's over under the moon.
The Qinhe River, a tributary of the Yellow River, has also dried up long ago.
Smoke curls from the kitchen.
In a small village at the foot of a mountain, a woman wearing coarse cloth walked out of the kitchen carrying a few steamed buns.
She couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her grandfather, husband and three children waiting for dinner in the main room.
Times are bad now, and I don’t know how long my family’s food reserves can last.
The head of the house is dark-skinned and in his prime, and the three children have grown to be half grown-ups. They don't have enough to eat every day. Grandpa is already seventy years old, so he can't be treated badly.
This makes the woman look sad every day.
She entered the main room with six steamed buns and handed one to her grandfather first: "Grandpa, eat it while it's hot. There's still noodle soup in the pot. My granddaughter-in-law will give you another bowl later."
The white-haired old man took the steamed bun and whispered: "How about I go into the mountain? After eating, I will let Tie Zhu carry me into the mountain, so that I won't be a burden to you..."
After speaking, the old man lowered his head.
He has passed the age of seventy and has lived enough. When the years are good, that's it. From the 13th year of Zhengtong to the first year of Chenghua, the harvests in the three years were not good. If it were not for the joy of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the world's taxes would They couldn't bear the exemption of 30% at that time. From the second year of Chenghua to the fifth year of Chenghua, it was considered a good three years, but this year it started again.
No one knows how many years this time will be.
The old man was holding the steamed buns, thinking that this was a chance for his great-grandchildren to survive.
His heart was like a knife.
Let your grandson carry you up the mountain, find a place with a good view, and settle down for the rest of your life. This should be your best destination.
After the old man finished speaking, the three great-grandchildren all lowered their heads, and the grandson's wife kept wiping away tears.
"How about that, grandpa? If your grandson has something to eat, you won't be hungry. You can eat with confidence. After eating, I will go to the city to have a look and buy some food back. Our family still has two taels of silver." Well, don't worry." The strong man who spoke was called Wang Tiezhu.
When he was young, his parents were swept away by a flash flood. If his grandfather hadn't raised him up, he would have died long ago. Even if he starved to death, he couldn't just carry the old man here on his back like some heartless people in the village. On Wangwu Mountain.
"Tie Zhu, just listen to grandpa's words, just die..."
"Sir, don't say any more. Tie Zhu is very capable. You don't know that our family really does have two taels of silver. After dinner, let Tie Zhu go to the city and exchange it all for food. Tonight, My daughter-in-law will cook rice porridge for you, you must not have this idea again, otherwise how will Zhuzi and I behave?"
"Reputation is more important or life is more important? Why are you two so ignorant? I don't know how long it will take to pass in this year of famine. The government will not distribute the disaster relief food. After eating this steamed bun, I will Go back to the house and put on the shroud, and at night, let the iron pillar carry me into the mountain, otherwise I will hang myself at home." The old man looked determined.
Children and grandchildren are filial, but he cannot be selfish.
"Master, you listen to my grandson. It's absolutely true. If the imperial court doesn't send relief food, we won't starve to death. We have money."
"It will take a year, Zhuzhu, please understand something. Everyone is fate. No one can change what is destined. Others can stay on the mountain, so can I. I know your filial piety. But I have to go up the mountain. If you don't carry me, I will go by myself." To be honest, he didn't want to die at home and smear the faces of his children.
The eldest of the three children put down the steamed bun in his hand again, stood up and said, "Grandpa, if you go into the mountain, I will carry you on my back. If you don't come down, I won't come down either. We will starve to death in the mountain together."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the main room, sitting outside the courtyard, tears streaming down his face.
"You, you kid..."
"Grandpa, you can't make us feel guilty. Grandpa, just be obedient and stay at home. Otherwise, you know the temper of the eldest son. Neither Tiezhu nor I can control him. He only follows Kiss me."
"This child, why is this child so disobedient and disobedient..." The old man kept sighing, his muddy eyes filled with tears.
Who doesn’t want to live a long life, but if you are dragging down future generations by living in this world, then even if you are still alive in this world, it will be extremely painful...
