Chapter 1589 The emperor wants to sell land(1/2)
In the past, Qian Dafu could never be so upright. He was very fat, like a small hill. Now he seems to have lost weight.
"Stay flat and sit down."
Qian Dafu was the first person to follow him.
At that time, he was still a middle-aged wealthy businessman, but now his temples have turned white.
"How old are you?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I am fifty-eight this year."
Qian Dafu sat down. Although he had lost weight, he was still much fatter than others. Sitting on a normal seat felt squeezing and looked uncomfortable.
"What's going on?"
"I didn't ask you to prepare special chairs earlier. Where did they go?"
Guan Ning frowned and scolded.
Cheng Jing hurriedly motioned to several small Huangmen to look for it.
"While you were away fighting, that seat was placed elsewhere..."
Cheng Jing bowed and explained.
"Move!"
A few eunuchs will be in trouble today because Cheng Daxuan was scolded like this.
Qian Dafu's figure was different from ordinary people, so Guan Ning ordered someone to build a special chair and quickly moved it over.
"Sit here."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qian Dafu was deeply moved. He was the only one with a special chair.
Looking back on those days, it was only on impulse that I followed Guan Ning, the heir apparent, but I didn't expect that my destiny would change in just a few years.
Guan Ning smiled and said: "It seems that life is really difficult. The people who are in charge of Daning's money bag and grain bag have all lost weight."
Fei Tian and others laughed. Your Majesty's metaphor was very appropriate and interesting.
"It's a little difficult."
Qian Dafu said: "But don't worry, your Majesty is wise and powerful. Now that the war is over, it won't be long before Daning's pockets are bulging again..."
"That's natural."
Guan Ning is very confident in this.
Various reforms in Daning have been implemented, and as long as stability is restored, things will get better.
The land occupied will not be obtained in vain.
There are too many things to do now. After a while, Guan Ning will prepare to arrange the development of the acquired land...
"Inspector Lu has already been to Daning Liangzhuang, and I have the full authority to cooperate with you."
Qian Dafu made his statement first.
As the largest grain bag in Daning, how could the Daning Bank be missing from the national granary inventory?
"I am still very relieved about you."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
Qian Dafu said: "With all due respect, even if there is a problem with the Daning Bank, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War, it should be a minor problem. If something really happens, it will still be with the Food Recruitment Department."
Guan Ning nodded.
During the war, all important tasks were to serve the war. The Food Collection Agency existed in this way, and the collected food was sent directly to the front line.
At that time, we were fighting in the southern border, and the direct delivery distance from Lin'an was closer, which also saved time.
Qian Dafu should know something, but he can't say it clearly.
Guan Ning said: "I believe Inspector Lu can get to the bottom of it."
"I called you here because I have something to ask of you."
"I am terrified."
Qian Dafu quickly stood up, bowed and said: "It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries. Please give me your instructions."
"There are still troops stationed on the front line, and a batch of supplies must be transported there immediately to meet winter needs."
It's June now, and it will be almost the end of the year by the time it's shipped, so I'm anxious.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs agreed 30%, the Ministry of War agreed 30%, and the remaining 40% is up to you..."
"Master Fei has already told me."
Qian Dafu said: "Daning Bank can give out at most 30%... I have tried my best."
He knows what the total is and doesn't lie.
During the war, Daning Bank's expenditures were unreserved, and it was difficult to receive food.
"Thirty percent...still less than 10%."
Guan Ning murmured.
It is really difficult to be an emperor!
"Let the powerful and powerful families come together..."
"His Majesty……"
Xue Qing said: "Isn't there something wrong with this... In the fourteenth year of Yuanwu, powerful families were allowed to give money, and the big families in the Jianghuai area also gave money. Now if we give away money again, I'm afraid...
"
He didn't say any more.
It has become a habit for Your Majesty to exploit the nobles.
If you have no money, you have to ask for it from the powerful family. He also understands His Majesty's difficulties and cannot ask for it from the common people.
It's just that it's not good if it happens too often. In the thirteenth year of Yuanwu, someone asked for a knighthood.
This is a new word.
Some people are promoted to official positions, while others are promoted to nobility.
That is to say, I don’t want the title or the nobility anymore, I really can’t do it, and the shedding of wool is one after another...
Xue Qing couldn't explain clearly.
Nowadays, there are rumors that His Majesty is going to be aggressive and aggressive, and there is also the implementation of the examination law, which has caused some turmoil in the people's hearts.
It's better to be steady at this time.
"It won't be in vain this time."
Guan Ning said: "You guys help me spread the word. Whoever can share my worries and solve the problems for the court will have a chance to get a fiefdom outside."
"Um?"
Xue Qing was slightly startled.
Your Majesty, are you serious?
Are you planning to sell the land?
"To be honest, the land we conquered is ready for sealing."
Guan Ning said: "Liang Kingdom has been desolate. It is difficult for me to move the people there. I have to send officials and government officials, and due to the distance limitation, it is really difficult to develop quickly..."
"But sealing it off can solve this problem. Who doesn't want to be a rich man with a fiefdom? Wouldn't they care about their own fiefdom?"
Xue Qing is convinced by His Majesty.
I always come up with such ingenious ideas.
This is not a bad idea.
Management according to Daning's current system is indeed too expensive. If they are all enfeoffed, we only need to control these nobles.
So His Majesty is really going to sell the land.
It’s just that this is a bit extreme!
Xue Qing thought to himself and said again: "Liang Kingdom is far away from Daning. I'm afraid no one would want to go to such a remote place."
"I'm afraid there will be competition to go."
Guan Ning said: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Is it better to be a noble, or to be exploited under the eyes of the police?"
"What your Majesty said is true."
Xue Qing hesitated again: "But do you really want to do this?"
"nature."
To be continued...
