Chapter 376 The worries of the courtiers

Listening to Cai Yan's explanation, Han Yu reluctantly agreed with the boy. Even if he was angry that the official did not sell saltpeter, he could barely accept it. However, the latter words raised his heart that he let go.

"Prince Cai, you...you..."

Cai Wei waved his hand and didn't care much about the panicked Han Yu. He said casually: "It's enough to be miserable to Jiangnan by Fang La. How can the imperial soldiers cut the wounds on the people again?"

"snort!"

"I took it, I snatched the gold, silver and jewelry of the people. How can I take it? How can I snatch it? How can I return it to me! Otherwise, I will leave them all in Jiangnan!"

"snort!"

"Jiangnan has suffered a disaster and there is no investment in the sea of ​​gold and silver. How can people's livelihood be restored as soon as possible?"

...

"Okay!"

"Master Han, we are old friends. Don't worry about such bad things that offend people. All the nonsense is pushed to the Protector. The Protector will run away again!"

...

Han Yu was speechless and wanted to speak out, but he didn't know how to dissuade him?

You said that the guy in front of you rebels? He just came to Jiangning to raise food to help the famined people! He just wanted to force 200,000 soldiers to spit out dirty silver! He just wanted to throw gold and silver into Jiangnan again!

How to evaluate?

Han Yu has been an official for twenty years, so how can he not understand the principle that soldiers are more powerful than bandits? What kind of greed will the poor and jingling northern soldiers enter the wealthy Jiangnan?

The more you know, the less you can stop it!

"well……"

Looking at the half-best boy who was talking to the little princess in a low voice, watching the military soldiers escort the princess on the boat far away, and watching the muddy boy riding a war horse into Jiangning City and disappearing, Han Yu could only smile bitterly and shake his head...

Cai Yan didn't care much about Han Yu's attitude, and ignored Tong Guan, who had caused endless disasters. He directly asked San'er to take people to Tong Guan's temporary residence. He would snatch the official seal into his hands or not. Not only Tong Guan, but also the official seals of officials of all sizes in Jiangning City. Even Han Yu could only throw the official seal on the table and was invisible.

Liu Fang led dozens of large ships and ten thousand volunteers to guard Zhenjiang. Sun Hu led the princess with Tong Guan's "military order". Seven or eight hundred ships of all sizes went west along the Yangtze River, confiscating ships on both sides of the river. Even the small fish ships were confiscated. They still arrived in the river north of Muzhou in the future. Sun Hu was already the general of the navy with two or three thousand ships in his hand.

One is to guard the import and export of the Yangtze River, the other is to strictly control the river water flow, and countless soldiers also went to various prefectures and counties to confiscate seals of officials at all levels...

Cai Li did something wrong in Jiangning. Zhao Ji in Kaifeng City beat up several desks and once again brought the hostage Cai Jing to Yanfu Palace...

Cai Jing was like a confused old man who had not woken up. The officials asked questions for a quarter of an hour, but still lowered his head and said nothing...

Zhao Ji's expression became more and more gloomy. The left Pushe King Fu glanced around and leaned to Cai Jing's ears without any help.

"The old master cannot ignore it. It would be fine if the prince-consort Maode took in the Hangzhou rebels. If he dominates Jiangning again and blocks the Yangtze River... it would be inappropriate."

Seeing Wang Fu speak, Liang Shicheng, the head of the Privy Council, nodded quickly and said, "It is indeed inappropriate for the prince-consort Maode to occupy Jiangning..."

The old men in the imperial study nodded and whispered to worry...

Cai Jing was helpless. Since the stinky brat, Lao Cai, he knew that the fool could not control him anymore. He wanted to send him to the palace for discipline, but who would have thought that the government would make the stubborn boy angry?

Thinking about it, Cai Jing still smiled bitterly and said, "I saw some news from Jiangnan. I don't think that the bastard will cause trouble for Jiangnan..."

"Bang!"

Zhao Ji was furious and pointed at Cai Jing's nose and cursed.

"Isn't it just a rebellion if I seize Jiangning by force-"

"Closing the river water and cutting off the north and south is not a rebellion-"

"asshole……"

"You Cai family are all traitors--"

...

Zhao Ji almost poked his finger on Cai Jing's head. Old Master Cai didn't seem to hear it, and he swayed and looked like he was not awake, making everyone speechless...

There was another strange silence in the study room, and another quarter of an hour passed...

Wang Fu didn't mention the anger in his heart. He repeatedly signaled others to speak, but he all lowered his head and pretended to be dead. He had no choice but to slant his body and "whisper" to persuade him again.

"The old teacher, with Maode's son-in-law in Hangzhou and various prefectures and counties, it looks not much different from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce a few years ago. Wang didn't think that the son-in-law would rebel, it was just Jiangning..."

Cai Jing sighed helplessly: "Why didn't Wang Xiang understand yet? That guy who forced himself to seize official seals everywhere and strictly investigated the situation of various prefectures and counties taking the opportunity to embezzle the people's fields. How could he be rebelling?"

"well……"

"The Fang La demon rebelled, and Jing Zong was innumerable. Could it be that the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have become demons who eat vegetables?"

Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Wu does not want innocent people to be slaughtered by the devil of food and food. However, if they cannot be properly placed, the aggression of the people will be difficult to eliminate. One percent of the taxes and one percent of the tenant rent. When the people are rich, they are allowed to purchase and rent farmland from the chamber of commerce first. If they suffer from disasters, they may borrow at low interest rates. If the people have constant property, they will not cause trouble. This requires enough land."

"Too many people were killed and injured in the chaos, and there were countless lands without a master. If Wang Xiang was in Jiangnan, he would probably be moved by these lands without a master, right?"

Wang Fu opened his mouth to defend himself, but smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying a word...

"One percent taxes, one percent rent, if anyone else would not have done so. With my understanding of the bastard, even if 10 percent rent, the subsidy will eventually be returned to the tenant. If others are not, they will also embezzle the land and the land that was damaged by soldiers. This is no different from forcing a good person to become a prostitute, and should be severely punished."

Wang Fu smiled bitterly and said, "If the prince consort is really as the old teacher said, he has indeed made contributions to the country, but... But why did the prince consort block the river water?"

Cai Jing was silent for a moment and sighed: "Don't Wang Xiang really know that the soldiers are more powerful than bandits? Two hundred thousand soldiers rushed into the wealthy Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and hundreds of thousands of people died in Hangzhou alone. Does Wang Xiang really think that hundreds of thousands of people are all demons and bandits who eat vegetables?"

...

"The Jiangnan suffered a war disaster, and millions of people were killed and injured. The wealth accumulated by generations disappeared in one day. Countless people were extremely poor in one day. Without talking about taxes within three or two years, how could countless people live? Even if they work, farm, food, and utensils are sold to whom?"

Cai Jing sighed and said, "Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses have made contributions to the country to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan. Even if the soldiers plunder the wealth of the people, how can the court recover the wealth of the robbery of Jiangnan? Strict military laws? Wang Xiang would not believe it, right?"

"well……"

"The bastard robbed Lord Tong's seal and ordered the princess to lead his troops to Muzhou. The river water on the front was blocked, and the elite Nanyang navy forces were forced by the back. At this time, if the 200,000 army did not want to be trapped in Muzhou, they could only spit out what they got from Jiangnan. Only by investing this money back into Jiangnan can we restore the prosperity of our dynasty's tax land as soon as possible."

Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ji, who was still gloomy, and clasped his fists and smiled bitterly: "Although the old minister is a little bit foul, he can only do such offending things. No one in the court can do it. I would like to ask the official to understand it."

...

Zhao Ji stared at Cai Jing with a gloomy face and said nothing. After a long time, he snorted coldly: "Rampage... Humph! The prince-consor Maode blocked the river. Who can guarantee that he will not really stand on the south of the Yangtze River?"
