Remarkable political achievements.

These four words cannot express Liu Jian’s mood.

So, he used two outstanding achievements.

But then, Liu Jian came back to his senses.

Not right...

He said seriously: "This is a major event. Dozens of soldiers escorted more than 800,000 two silver patterns. What should I do if there is any mistake? And if... if... the soldiers are blinded by the interests of the people and fled with the money, what should I do? This is the lifeline of the country and the foundation of the court."

Lifelines and fundamentals are not wrong at all.

After all, this wealth alone is enough to reverse the financial situation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

It’s sad to say that this rich man from the people is like a crucian carp crossing the river, but the income of the treasury is shabby.

This is also a chronic disease in the Ming Dynasty.

Proprietors almost never have to pay taxes, but the civilians at the bottom had to bear heavy taxes, and they could still maintain them when they founded the country. After all, at that time, there were many small households, few gentry and wealthy households.

But because of this privilege, the gentry's land was increasing and wealth was becoming increasingly concentrated, and countless small farmers went bankrupt and became refugees. As a result, the country's tax revenue was getting smaller and smaller, and now it has reached a point that is difficult to maintain.

Now, everyone is pointing at Dingxing County for the New Year.

It’s a mere county, and it’s scary to think about it. If there were ten such counties in the Ming Dynasty, the taxes and silver could reach tens of millions. What if there were one hundred? What about three hundred?

Wang Ao's heart was shocked at this time.

He followed Fang Jifan's "nonsense" and he disagreed with many absurd things about Fang Jifan, but now he looked back and thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong.

Behind the seemingly absurdity, is Fang Jifan really absurd? It is more like there are too many absurd and bizarre things in the world, which sets off the normality of Fang Jifan.

Liu Jian said seriously: "Immediately, go to Dingxing County and ask Dingxing County not to escort the money into Beijing for the time being, but nothing happens. The court should transfer a battalion of troops to go."

"Mr. Liu, I'm afraid... I need your Majesty's will."

"Then please give me an order." Liu Jian's eyes lit up.

The others were also full of elegance, as if the Chinese New Year was already here.

Rich people celebrate the New Year every day.

The pauper pointed to the two days of the Spring Festival.

Look at Fang Jifan. I heard that he wants a cow for a meal. Isn’t this just celebrating the New Year all day long?

But... why no matter what kind of happy events, whenever I think of Fang Jifan, I suddenly feel bored.

Liu Jian cheered up and waved his sleeves: "Meet!"

"Let's go, see you."

Li Dongyang let go of his heart.

He, the Minister of Revenue, suddenly had a terrible idea.

What if the whole world implements new tax laws?

What if the whole world implements new policies?

This thought came out like Pandora's box, which was a little too late to cover.

No...too aggressive.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food.

Everyone returned to Fengtian Palace in a mighty manner.

...

Emperor Hongzhi was relieved and thought that his money had been saved.

I almost let it go.

I'm always too soft-hearted.

But just when he was relieved, he looked down at the running script on the desk. Xiao Jing quickly raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty's running script is charming but not vulgar, and has a very profound attainment. He has really obtained the true teachings of Wang Youjun. This Wang style calligraphy is like Wang Youjun possessed. I admire him!"

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down.

"I am imitating Song Huizong's thin gold body."

Xiao Jing: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing with disgust: "What's more, I've just started writing and am impatient. How can I be so charming but not vulgar? I have a profound attainment?"

Xiao Jing: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "You, learn from Fang Jifan."

Xiao Jing suddenly thought to himself, it’s time to learn, why did that kid always flatter him?

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Learn his loyalty, rather than being in front of me all day long, flattering and slapping!"

Xiao Jing: “…”

A terrible thought came to Xiao Jing's mind. Has Fang Jifan's flattery reached the point of being invisible and superb?

Your Majesty, I have something to say.

He didn't dare to talk back after all, and said with a smile: "I will definitely learn from Guard Fang in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

But the next moment.

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed.

He saw a huge crowd of people coming to Fengtian Hall outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Here I'm here again. I'm not saying that I have no money. I'm very poor. I'm very determined. I'm only 41.263.221 taels of silver. What are they going to do? Are they going to force the palace? I'm not easy to bully!"

Even though he said so, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little panicked.

He couldn't stand the painstaking words of his ministers, and he looked frowning.

Sure enough, the eunuch came in and informed him.

Emperor Hongzhi bit his lip: "Didn't you say I'm tired?"

"I said it, they said that there is something important to see."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed bitterly and put the pen in his hand: "Let them come in."

…………

Liu Jian and others entered the hall, saluted and shouted long live.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at them with his hands behind his back, "Why are you trying hard to force each other? I've said it again, I haven't touched..."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Jian actually interrupted Emperor Hongzhi's words: "I am asking Your Majesty to issue an order."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What's the purpose?"

"Please send an order to transfer a military horse, go to Dingxing County quickly, and escort money and grain into the capital!"

Emperor Hongzhi was so surprised that he almost couldn't speak: "Why, the money and grain books from Dingxing County have been sent?"

"It's..." Speaking of this, Li Dongyang couldn't help it, and was so moved. Money, money... Since he served as the Minister of Revenue, he has not had a good life. Today... he finally has enough money. He said: "This year, Dingxing County will pay 820,000 taels of silver in the silver market. This is an astronomical number. Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. This Ouyang Zhi is really a stunning talent. He can be said to be a world-class person, unprecedented, and no one will come."

Everyone nodded with a smile.

Ouyang Zhi is really a talented person. He is steady and loyal, with the spirit of a general, and acts decisively. Unexpectedly, he achieved such achievements in governing the local area.

Such a shining pearl cannot cover his brilliance even if it is covered with dust.

This person will inevitably be famous in history in the future and become a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi heard this...

He suddenly thought of what Fang Jifan said to him.

Dingxing County...

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved and could not help but burst into tears in his eyes. After all,... he was not worried about the thief's concern.

Eighty-two thousand taels, a mere county, this is definitely not a small amount.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and said in surprise: "Oh? Is it? Only silver tax?" He subconsciously felt that this might not be a good thing. If he collected too much silver, wouldn't he be imposing a heavy tax on it: "I have collected so much silver, I'm afraid the people..."

"Your Majesty." Li Dongyang shook his head: "The population of Dingxing County has increased by 80,000 households and more than 200,000 people. If it is a levied, why are so many refugees settled down? If the people cannot survive and are too late to escape, how can they all follow them?"

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up.

Sure enough... it is Ouyang Zhi.

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "I only collect cash taxes, I am afraid that as the Qing family said, this will promote industry and commerce, and the people will not be interested in farming, so will they hurt the farmers?"

"Your Majesty..." Li Dongyang couldn't laugh or cry. He felt that his old face was blushing because... he said this. Emperor Hongzhi was just a parrot: "This year, the grain production in Dingxing County has also increased significantly. Compared with other counties, it is the only one who can be said to be the leader!"

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath.

Perfect!
