Zhou Xian said: "In order to deal with possible future wars, I plan to repair, strengthen and increase the walls of some cities. Even key cities such as Tai'an, Dezhou and Ju County need to build some forts outside to protect the main city. Once the treacherous invades Shanxi and Hebei, a large number of disaster victims will inevitably enter Shandong. This will mainly bring two problems, one is the food problem and the other is the resettlement problem. Therefore, I plan to build a Da Ao Cang in Jinan, Zibo and Tai'an, which can store all kinds of military supplies for long-term combat. In addition, in Dezhou, where the military disaster was severe and the population was relatively small, the resettlement site could be resettled for more than 50,000 disaster victims."

Wang Zhang's eyes flashed and he asked in confusion: "Master General intends to let me take charge of these things?"

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "These are all major matters that are related to the future. If you handle it carefully, it may cause comprehensive chaos in Shandong. Moreover, everything is expensive. The thing I worry most is that someone embezzles and accepts bribes from it and cuts corners. Lord Wang is upright and everyone knows it. If you are the one who supervises this matter, I think no one dares to cheat and cheat."

Gao Mingheng looked at Zhou Xian and Wang Zhang, and seemed to understand something in his heart. Wang Zhang was straightforward and always regarded himself as a censor. He never made friends with officials from any aspect. He also always confronted the world and seized some small things to criticize everyone. No matter which force it was, he didn't like him. Especially Zhou Xian's actions often did not follow the rules, which attracted the most criticism from him. Although Zhou Xian didn't say anything on the surface, he was definitely dissatisfied with him. Whether it was repairing the city wall or other things, Wang Zhang could not stay in Jinan for a long time. This was probably because he was out of sight! Thinking of this, Gao Mingheng gently patted Wu Gan's arm who wanted to stand up, and told him not to speak.

Wang Zhang had a straight personality, but was not stupid. After hearing what Zhou Xian said, he came to the same conclusion as Gao Mingheng. But for him, when he was the censor of the capital, he wrote the most letters to criticize corrupt officials in the court, and also tried to completely change this situation. He pondered for a moment, stood up and bowed: "The Supervisor trusts the subordinates and gives me such heavy responsibilities. I will do my best to help the Supervisor complete these things. But if a corruption and bribery is discovered during the period, what should I do? Should I also ask the Supervisor to allow me to review and supervise the right to accept the administration?"

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "This is natural. I will send Yu Jackie Chan as your deputy and give you the power to call the yamen runners of Shandong prefectures. At the same time, the newly established police station responsible for the anti-theft is also under your command. Not only are the construction workers supervising these projects, but also supervising all officials in Shandong. As long as there is conclusive evidence that the officials have embezzled and accepted bribes, abused the people, you can deal with them directly. Look, is this good?"

A sudden burst of surprise broke out in the hall, and Zhou Xian gave Wang Zhang the power to supervise all officials.

Wang Zhang also looked at Zhou Xian, obviously a little unbelievable.

Gao Mingheng frowned slightly, and he couldn't figure out what Zhou Xian was going to do. Wang Zhang would not give anyone a face. Given such great power, he would definitely make Shandong turn upside down. At that time, it would not be one or two people who would suffer.

Zhou Xian saw Wang Zhang silently and asked, "Master Wang, are you willing? Or do you need me to do something else?"

Wang Zhang bowed and said, "I am willing to do so."

Zhou Xianxiao said, "That's good. After we go on, we will discuss how much labor service we need to be remitted, how much money we allocated and how long we can complete the construction."

Wang Zhang bowed his hand and sat back.

Zhou Xian turned to Gao Mingheng and said: "Gao Futai, you know the situation of each government. In addition to the sea trade, salt tax, and mining tax income, how much is the tax per year in Shandong except for the two Denglai governments?"

Gao Mingheng thought for a while and said, "There are about 800,000 taels of silver and 1.2 million stones of grain. But most of them have to be delivered to the court, and there are only about one-sixths left in Shandong."

Zhou Xian sighed, "This little money and grain is not much left except for the basic expenses of the government and the army. It is possible to be in peacetime, but it is far from enough during wartime, and I don't know how long the war will last. Although the sea trade and salt tax can add taxes, if Shandong itself cannot fill the treasury, it will inevitably cause trouble. Reforming the tax system is imperative."

Gao Mingheng's face changed, "The Supervisor, the tax system is stipulated by the court, and the reform must be subject to the court's consent. Otherwise, the tax system of a province is contrary to the tax system of the world. How can this be done? Once the censors in the court report impeachment, the Supervisor may be charged with attempting to cede the land and establish their own self-reliance."

Chen Mingxia jumped out and said, "Gao Futai's words are bad! At this time, the world was in chaos, and the thieves occupied Henan, and the Longwu rebels occupied Jianghuai, and each had their own policies. In Henan, Li Yan compiled a song about the King of Break, and I think everyone here has heard of one of them. "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and slurry, open the city gate to welcome the King of Break, and the King of Break will not pay grain when he comes." Although Li Zicheng could not do not pay grain at all, he mainly maintained the military's expenses by recovering stolen and rich households in Henan, and implemented a policy of light taxes and taxes for the common people. This move conquered the people's hearts, which is why he was able to grow stronger despite repeated defeats. In Jiang

Huai and Zhu Youjian adopted the reform of the camp system, and divided the land that lost its master due to war into imperial fields, with a thousand acres of ​​a camp and a Guanzhuang person. They organized refugees to farm, and all the food they received was returned to the army, and at the same time, the refugees were resettled so that they could survive. However, for landlords and gentry with masters, especially landlords and gentry with a large amount of fertile land, a profit-sharing strategy was implemented. After the autumn harvest, landlords and gentry accounted for 60% and Longwu Army accounted for 40%. This eliminated the resistance of landlords and gentry to the greatest extent, and also won the hearts of the poor. Although he occupied Huainan for not long, he seemed to have completely gained a foothold."

Wu Ganlai said dissatisfiedly: "They are all traitors. Do we still need to learn from them?"

Chen Mingxia said with a sarcastic smile on her face: "If they could win the hearts of the people and seize the world, will the people in the future still treat them as traitors? Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, which one was not called traitors at that time? But now! Will anyone think so?"

Wang Zhang was furious, "How can those thieves be compared with Emperor Yongle? How dare you speak so wildly here?"
