There is a rainbow after the storm, and the Forbidden City is still the same Forbidden City.

The golden tiles and red walls are still majestic and magnificent!

But looking closely, the Forbidden City does not seem to be the original Forbidden City.

The pavilions and towers are there one by one, and there is no old people coming.

The newcomer did not know the good of Spring and Autumn, but only saw the emperor sitting on the high platform.

The Forbidden City will not change, the emperor will not change, it is just a person!

Prince Liujin still studied in Wenhua Palace every day, and the eunuch around him was replaced by a stranger.

A person in his thirties, very burly, ugly, and disliked, always lowered his head and lowered his hands, and had expressionless expressions.

His name is not right!

It is said that he was the foreman of Jingshifang before, and it is said that he was personally selected by the Queen, and it is said that no one has ever seen him laugh.

There is also the old concubine Guo, who brought the concubines of the late emperor to live in Xiaoling. He said that he would guard the tomb for Emperor Taizu Gao, so the huge Forbidden City was even more empty.

Some people know the reason behind all this, some people are confused, some people are confused...

There are countless speculations outside, but as time goes by, this speculation is like the wind blowing through the Forbidden City, getting farther and farther away!

As the autumn tiger passes, winter comes suddenly.

This year's winter is not only early, but also particularly cold. Even the sky is gloomy. Occasionally, something cold falls, and it's not known whether it's rain or snow.

The emperor was afraid of people, but he also hated the coldness. So early on, eunuchs burned the earth dragons in Qianqing Palace, making the hall warm as spring.

In the hall, a pot of orchid bloomed silently on the windowsill.

Zhu Yunxiu stood in front of the window with kraft paper, looked at the gray sky outside, and said, "This winter came early and the frost was early, so it was probably going to affect farming!"

Behind him was Li Zhigang, who had just returned to the capital from Hebei and other places.

He hasn't seen him for nearly half a year, but he has lost a lot of weight, but his spirits are particularly high.

"The emperor is concerned about all people, and it is a blessing for the people in the world!" Li Zhigang said.

Zhu Yunxiu continued to look out the window, "The south is so cold, and the north is conceivable. Once it affects farming, the people's lives will be difficult! The Ministry of Revenue just wrote a memorandum saying that it is better to delay taxes from some prefectures!"

"I also said that the prefectures and prefectures should quickly count the grain reserves and report them in case of emergency needs!"

Li Zhigang was silent for a moment and glanced at the emperor's back, "Actually, in my opinion, there is no need to do this!" He paused, "My territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, and small disasters cannot be avoided. Whenever I encounter bad integrity, I have to make a big deal. In my opinion, it seems to be quite a bit of a gust and snake!"

"The so-called plan does not change quickly! If there is a disaster, the disaster situation in different places will be completely different. The priority is to deal with it. No matter how the center prepares, it depends on the actual situation in the local area. If you don't care about local affairs, you will act according to your own ideas!"

"Sometimes it may be counterproductive!" Li Zhigang said, and glanced at Zhu Yunxi's back again, "Besides, the granary storage in the prefectures of the Ming Dynasty is sufficient, and if there is disaster and food, there is no need to act nervously from top to bottom, which makes people panic!"

"If there is a disaster, it cannot be stopped. Just treat it! The disaster is so popular before it comes. If you have a false alarm, it will not only lose face but also delay other important affairs in the court!"

This is a point that Zhu Yunyu likes Li Zhigang. This person is not completely flattering, but has his own opinion on the court. His starting point is sometimes far more practical than others.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and still did not turn around, "Their hearts are good. After all, they have been causing trouble in recent years, so they are also afraid!"

"What the emperor said is that the hearts of the court are good!" Li Zhigang said again, "But in my opinion, it is inevitable that it is too superficial! The center moves its mouth and runs off its legs below. The court has face and a kind and loving people's livelihood, but the people below cannot help but complain!"

"Besides, disasters have always been the time when officials are working hard. Now there is no disaster, so we start preparing. Then someone will secretly extend his hand!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and curled his lips silently.

Li Zhigang is still the same Li Zhigang. While expressing his own opinions, he always never forgets to step on others.

"I said something wrong, the lords in the court should go to the place to check it out!" Li Zhigang said again, "In fact, the disaster is not that scary, and the people are not so easy to die of cold and hunger. When encountering small disasters, the people will always find ways to do it themselves! The court can take care of such a big world? Once the tax is delayed, it will be difficult to collect it again."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi frowned.

This is what he doesn't like Li Zhigang. He is too cold deep in his heart, and everything is based on the premise of interests.

"You did a good job in the north!" Zhu Yunxiu finally turned around, sat down casually, and held the warm warm stove in his hand. "After you have to make trouble, 20% of the land will be added to the yellow book of the Ministry of Revenue, and it will be severely suppressed the unhealthy trend of helping others to hang land and exempt from taxes. It will be of great contribution!"

Zhu Yunxi's praise made Li Zhigang's heart suddenly feel hot.

It's strange that he is not corrupt as an official, nor even a heavy enjoyment, but he just can't stop praising the emperor.

"If I give me some time, I will let them spit it out!" Li Zhigang said, "I actually calculated it privately. The taxes that the big landlords who were hanged on the gentry and had not paid over the years are astronomical!"

"They hang the fields on the gentry, which violates the national law, so they just report them to the ground truthfully and make them cheap! They should be held accountable, not only to make up for the taxes they have over the years, but also to add fines!"

"ruthless!"

Zhu Yunxiu thought to himself that Li Zhigang is even more cruel than him, the emperor!

The emperor just made the gentry class no longer rely on their privileges to help others exempt taxes. However, Li Zhigang wanted to directly confiscate other people's houses and punish them for their money.

It sounds like a relief, but Zhu Yunxiu can't do this, and he doesn't dare to do this at this stage.

That would mean that not only offends the gentry class, but also offends the landlord class. The wealth path of people is like killing their parents!

"There is priority!" Zhu Yunxiu crossed his legs and said, "Come step by step!" and said, "You should rest for a while, and then go to the southern provinces to continue investigating!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, "You are an official from the Jiangnan group. You should know that the real difficulty is still ahead!"

"In fact, it is not difficult to just investigate the tax evasion of land and taxes!" Li Zhigang said seriously, "After all, the state has national laws. Whether it is gentry or officials, they cannot deny the facts, and they can only admit it. So far, until the emperor ordered their privileges to be removed, they would not be so ignorant of the current affairs!"

"The most difficult part is that they have to be revoked and they have to pay grain and pay taxes!" Li Zhigang said again, "There must be chaos, but I will say something bad. It is nothing more than that I will sacrifice my reputation and kill a group of disobedient people. Could it be that they dare to rebel?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu suddenly realized that Li Zhigang was wrong today.

The words he reported seemed to focus not on the new policy that was about to be promoted, but deliberately led Zhu Yunyu's ideas and followed him.

If it were before, this guy would still have to take credit!

"What the hell do you want to say?" Zhu Yunxiu asked seriously.
