"My slave, I bow before you, Your Majesty." Zhou Quan came over very quickly. As soon as he came in, he knelt down with a bang and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.

"Okay, get up, stop pretending." Zhu Youxiao said angrily. It's strange to say that after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he was really more relaxed in front of these servants than in front of the courtiers.

He didn't feel this way when he was still the grandson and prince.

Maybe this is why the emperor likes to use eunuchs, Zhu Youxiao secretly laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged. I'm not pretending. Your Majesty is really wise and powerful. When I saw this, my knees went weak and I couldn't help but kneel down." Zhou Quan immediately cried out that he was wronged. After being accepted by Zhu Youxiao, he quickly

Become familiar with it.

However, Zhou Quan was very eye-catching. After saying a few words, he immediately stopped talking, got up and stood quietly aside, waiting for instructions.

"How is the arrangement of the Emperor's Palace Store in the Royal Horse Supervisor?" Zhu Youxiao asked relaxedly.

"Back to the emperor, the servants have sorted it out, all the fields have been re-measured, and all the tenants have been appeased. The servants also plan to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to send some new year's goods so that they can celebrate the new year in peace. The same is true for the imperial store.

, they were all cleaned up one by one, and all the moths and bugs inside were pulled out, and the experienced shopkeepers and accountants were also retained." Zhou Quan talked eloquently without looking at the accounts, and listed all the items under the Royal Horse Supervisor except the Forbidden Army.

The business was explained clearly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded while listening. Zhou Quan basically followed his instructions, and even did better in some places, making up for the things he didn't consider thoroughly.

"In this way, you list out the accounts of the Imperial Store and hand them over to Wang Wenyan. From now on, you will mainly manage the land of the Imperial Store. After the Jinyiwei sorts out the confiscated fields, you can hand them over and these will also be collected.

You manage.”

Having said this, Zhu Youxiao paused, took a breath and then continued, "When the time comes, you will put all the fields in a safe place and merge them together to form a large farm. Concentrate manpower and material resources and manage them in a unified way."

Farming, this also makes management easier."

"Slave province." Zhou Quan responded, then hesitated slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know about the rent for the coming year?"

"Rent..." After hearing this question, Zhu Youxiao pondered.

There are many palaces in the palace, and there are many kinds of them, including those of the empress dowager, the crown prince, the emperor, and those of unconfessed vassal kings. After Zhu Youxiao cleaned up the palace, these originally scattered Zhuangzi were integrated.

, came together, unified and Zhou Quan took charge.

After this comprehensive statistics, Zhu Youxiao was shocked. Among the capital and the various prefectures in Beizhili, the total number of imperial villages was more than 15,000, which was only 5,000 less than Prince Fu. And now,

These royal estates, plus the land confiscated from various houses, were more than those of King Fu.

This is a huge number.

Such a huge property must be carefully planned.

"Let's do this..." Zhu Youxiao suddenly raised his head and said with stern eyes, "All manors do not charge rent, and all the income from the tenants' farming belongs to them."

"Uh..." Zhou Quan stared at Zhu Youxiao with his eyes widened in shock and sluggishness.

"Haha, of course it's not for free. The prerequisite for not charging rent is that they must farm according to my arrangements, and the income from farming can only be sold to me, and I will sell it uniformly." Zhu Youxiao explained with a smile.

road.

"Huh... I'm scared to death. I thought your Majesty wanted to give all the land to them." Zhou Quan patted his chest, looking frightened.

After he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he suddenly discovered that if this happened, not only would the emperor not be able to obtain the income from the fields, but he would also have to pay a large sum of money to purchase the tenants' farming income.

"Your Majesty, this...servant really doesn't understand why we should waive all the rent and give them free land to plant." Zhou Quan asked with confusion on his face. If he didn't understand this, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the emperor in the future.

The pulse is not good.

"Haha, you don't understand, and you don't need to understand, just do as you do." Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, looking enigmatic.

This is actually a kind of his land reform, but it is not that drastic. His rent exemption has a premise. He has the final say on what to plant, and he can only buy the output. This means that he controls it from the source.

The output of raw materials has been controlled and the source of the production industry has been grasped.

Moreover, there is no need to pay taxes in Huangzhuang. You only need to pay rent to the emperor. Now the rent is waived, and everything that comes out is your own. This kind of temptation, in the agricultural dynasty of Ming Dynasty,

It is simply unimaginable. Although there are no homesteaders around the capital, there are in Beizhili. When the benefits here spread, are you still worried that no one will donate land?

As the top of the ruling class, once the land is dedicated to his name, it becomes his. Step by step, when the entire land in the world turns into such an imperial estate, the land will be completed naturally.

Has there been a revolution?

Now that the land belongs to the emperor, those elites will naturally turn their attention to other places and use them as the basis of family inheritance. This will naturally promote social transformation and progress.

Of course, these are all Zhu Youxiao's ideas, and whether they can be realized remains to be seen. The most important thing for him at the moment is to grasp his own lifeline, and not to put all his life on the grain.

Once times change, big problems will arise.

"Okay, don't think too hard here. Go and fix the imperial village and don't cause any problems for me." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked Zhou Quan to go down.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your trust. Of course, I will let more people know that Your Majesty is kind." Zhou Quan thought about it for a while, and finally thought of the donation. He thought that this was Zhu Youxiao's purpose, to get more

soil of.

"Well, let's do it." Zhu Youxiao nodded, sure that he guessed it right.

"Next...it's Wang Wenyan." Zhu Youxiao sent Zhou Quan away, and after resting for a while, he announced Wang Wenyan's entry into the palace. He had been waiting for a long time, and after about half an hour,

Wang Wenyan braved the cold wind and entered the palace.

"Ruoyu, get Mr. Wang a hand warmer." Looking at Wang Wenyan's trembling figure, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered.

With the heater in hand, Wang Wenyan's trembling body quickly calmed down. The warm environment of the heater made his face look rosier, no longer as pale as before.

"Sit down and talk." Zhu Youxiao held up the stool that Fang Congzhe had just made and motioned for the other party to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Wenyan saluted, and then he did it with his buttocks touching each other. This was the general way to deal with the emperor's request. No one really dared to sit down in front of the emperor.

"Now that the inner palace is being built, we need your help." Zhu Youxiao was not ambiguous and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions." Wang Wenyan sat upright, with a serious face, and listened carefully.

"The royal family itself has its own royal shop. Now Hongwan has stolen a large number of shops. I plan to give these shops to you to set up a business to sell the products of Tiangong Workshop." Principal Zhu You

Start talking.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I plan to abolish the salt transport envoys from various places. Following the precedent of Tianjin Saltworks, I will take the national salt industry into my hands. Only by holding this financial source can we support my reforms." He said with a burning gaze.

, the eyes were sparkling, almost radiating light.

Zhu Youxiao's first sentence made Wang Wenyan a little stunned, but the latter errand was exactly what he wanted. He came from Tianjin and brought a large amount of paperwork, most of which was accumulated over the years of managing the salt field.

The written information is available in all aspects and is comprehensive.

He had also heard about the emperor's ideas and ambitions, and to realize them, he could not do without the support of huge financial resources. Wang Wenyan, who had been in charge of Tianjin for five years, naturally understood how much profit was contained in these delicate and white particles.

It is no exaggeration to say that if all the salt in the world were collected, the income of 30 million taels of silver in a year would be absolute.

In the capital alone, the annual salt profit income is two to three million taels of silver, let alone the world. With this idea, Wang Wenyan went to Beijing ambitiously.

"Please give me your Majesty's instructions. In what capacity should I act?" Wang Wenyan did not agree with a smile on his face. Instead, he raised his own question first. He secretly changed his title in his words. The meaning was very obvious. Emperor, you are the boss.

Isn't it time to give us a background? After working for you for so many years, we can't always be in vain.

Wang Wenyan has spent the past three months in the capital in vain. The reason why he dared to mention it like this is because he donated his background as a prisoner in the Imperial College. With this layer of skin, there will be no obstacles for him to become an official.

"Hmm... As a replacement and change of the inner court, the inner palace is not yet complete, and the previous official position cannot be used," Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, "For the time being, let's use the name of the fifth-grade inner palace envoy.

." Zhu Youxiao originally thought that he was setting up an internal government system, but then he thought about it. Although the internal government is his private organization, in this era when I am the country, the internal government is also an integral part of the government, so it is still just

The ninth-grade official position is used, but the specific position name and operation method are to be determined. The superstructure will be determined after the lower organizations are operational.

Now he gave Zhou Quan, Wang Chengen, Wang Wenyan, and Xu Guangqi the same title. With this status, he was the chief envoy of the fifth rank of the inner palace and managed the affairs he had assigned.

After making the decision, Zhu Youxiao glanced at him again and said meaningfully, "I will never be stingy with fame, wealth, and fortune, but the premise is that things are done well. Do you understand, my dear?"

"Wei Chen understands that Wei Chen will live up to His Majesty's expectations and handle the matter properly." Wang Wenyan knelt down with a pop and made an impassioned speech with his head held high. He did not expect the emperor to see his little thoughts at all.

He didn't care, he just wanted to show his desire clearly and be a transparent person in front of the emperor, so that he could be reused.

It can be seen from Tianqi's actions after taking the throne that this person is a master who has a strong desire for control, and for such a person, he likes only those who have a thorough understanding of everything.

"Well, it's good to understand. You can go down first and go back and wait for my orders." Zhu Youxiao warned a few more words and asked Wang Wenyan to step back.

"Yes, I will take my leave." Wang Wenyan bowed and slowly retreated.

"It's been three months. It's time to go and have a look. That's the basis for my determination to move across the world and change my life." Zhu Youxiao glanced to the west, with some excitement and hope in his heart. He hadn't seen him for three months.
