Chapter 819 Two Years Later



When Su Mingzhe arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he was too lazy to deal with government affairs. He chatted with Xu Weixiong for a few words and simply handed over all his work to Xu Weixiong.

As for himself, he came to the Golden Dragon Palace and began to guide Nangong Pushe in his cultivation.

Nangong Pushe has a mother named Jiaolong and a father named Xie Guanying. Their intelligence and talent are considered to be among the top few in the entire "The Fighting Swordsman in the Snow".

Li Yishan even commented on her: She has been practicing in the pavilion for ten years, but there are no living beings below her and no one above her!

In the novel, Nangong Pushe created the unique combat technique of "Nineteen Stops".

[Nineteen stops]: Six stops kill the second level, nine stops kill the Zhixuan, twelve stops kill the celestial phenomena, sixteen stops break the Buddhist Vajra, the celestial body is like a white paper. After the eighteen stops, there are no land gods in front of me.

.

Nangong Pushe can create such a unique skill that is so arrogant in the world. The charge shows how evil her talent is!

Anyway, Su Mingzhe thinks that he is far inferior to her!

In the following month, Nangong Pushe easily understood the "Tai Chi Sword Code", which also illustrates this point.

However, although Nangong Pushe has understood the [Tai Chi Sword Code], it will take more than ten or twenty years to master it, practice it to perfection, and reach the Golden Immortal realm.

During this period, Su Mingzhe was able to continue to maintain a detached posture in front of Nangong Pushe.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

The two-year 'clean-up' plan that Su Mingzhe originally showed to Yuan Benxi was finally overfulfilled.

Su Mingzhe teamed up with Zhao Dingxiu and Cao Changqing to wipe out all the moles planted by other forces in the court.

They also dug out all the former ‘Shu traitors’ in the Shu Kingdom.

The properties of these people were all confiscated and sent to the imperial estate controlled by Emperor Shu, and became part of the income of the household minister.

During this period, the Shu Kingdom also encouraged people to reclaim wasteland.

These wastelands are also owned by Huangzhuang, but the land of Huangzhuang is allocated to the common people once every five years, and each time the rent is paid at the rate of 15 to 1 tax.

Before the founding of the Shu Kingdom, Su Mingzhe once said that taxes would be exempted for ten years.

Nowadays, ordinary people can rent fields from Huangzhuang at extremely low rents.

The people's livelihood economy of Shu has returned to its peak level more than 20 years ago at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This day.

Autumn harvest.

In the imperial study room, six ministers, five ministers, and great scholars from various palaces gathered together.

Su Mingzhe has been preparing everyone for today's Umrah meeting for a long time.

It is not only necessary to summarize the work achievements of Shu in the past two years after the restoration of the country, but also to formulate a five-year "preparation" plan for the next five years, as well as a detailed plan for next year.

According to the original plan formulated by Su Mingzhe, in the next five years, the Shu Kingdom will continue to improve its overall national strength and make preparations for expansion.

Among the six ministers, Hu Yan Dashan, the minister in charge of the "money bag", took the lead in saying:

"Your Majesty, this year there are 40 million acres of fertile land in Huangzhuang, accounting for 80% of the total arable land in the country. With good weather and good weather, we have achieved bumper harvests in summer and autumn. Among them, the wheat harvest is 30 million dan, and the corn harvest is 50 million dan.

, the rice harvest is 60 million dan, plus other miscellaneous grains, the total is more than 220 million dan!"

"According to the standard of one tax per fifteen, the total grain tax collected this year is more than 14 million shi."

"In addition, the Shaofu coal mine, wood, bamboo, and mountain treasures earned 15 million taels of silver, the tax on salt and wine was 5 million taels, the tobacco revenue was 3 million taels, the tea and horse revenue was 12 million taels, and there were also cultural

The revenue of the army, treasury, and city totaled more than 23 million taels, and the city's shipping department received 15 million taels..."

"After deducting the salaries of civil and military officials, military expenditures, and the budgets submitted by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites and other departments, by the end of this year, there will probably be a balance of 15 million taels of silver and a surplus of more than 4 million shi of grain!"

Huyan Dashan’s voice when reporting on his work was high-pitched and full of passion.

It had only been two years since the restoration of Shu, and even though the people had been exempted from taxes for ten years, the revenue of the Ministry of Household Affairs could still be raised to such a high level.

This was certainly due to Su Mingzhe, the Emperor of Shu's far-sightedness, but the strong execution ability of the Ministry of Revenue was also indispensable.

Therefore, when Hu Yan Dashan, the Minister of Revenue, reported on his work, his tone and attitude were extremely proud!

Those who can come to the imperial study to perform affairs are all important officials of the imperial court.

After hearing Huyan Dashan's report, these people didn't care about his attitude, but began to be concerned that there was such a large balance in the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue.

These important officials in the court immediately began to make small calculations in their hearts.

The weather in the Great Shu Kingdom is going smoothly, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no interference from foreign enemies.

It can be said that the treasury expenditures mainly include royal salary and military expenditures, as well as expenditures such as research and development of the Ministry of Industry and local infrastructure expenditures made by Su Mingzhe.

Since the expenditure is small, everyone does not need to live frugally.

Many people are beginning to think about finding some reason to increase their department's budget for next year.

"Dear dear friends, I still say the same thing, money spent is money!"

Su Mingzhe was also very happy after hearing Huyan Dashan's return.

As soon as he was happy, he first set the tone for next year's budget, and then said with a smile:

"In addition to the research and development projects hosted by the Ministry of Industry, they must continue to expand! Infrastructure construction in various places must also be maintained!"

"..."

In fact, what Su Mingzhe said has been said countless times before.

Several ministers present also kept this in mind.

After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, the ministers began to compete for the silver balance in the household department.

Not long after, the more than 10 million taels of silver left by the household department and the remaining four million shi of grain were all divided up by everyone.

The affairs in the household department have come to an end for the time being.

Then came Bai Ke, Minister of the Ministry of War, who preached:

"Your Majesty, the 200,000 troops of the City Defense Army and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion have completed preliminary preparation and training. Their literacy rate of 1,000 characters has reached more than 80%, and their minimum cultivation level has reached the ninth level."

"There are still more than 10,000 people who have reached the eighth level, three thousand people who have reached the seventh level, five hundred people who have reached the sixth level, and one hundred people who have reached the fifth level!"

"..."

When Bai Ke reported, he was obviously not as arrogant as the Minister of Revenue.

It stands to reason that he has completed the minimum standards set for him by Su Mingzhe.

However, the Ministry of War only fulfilled the minimum standards.

Compared with the Ministry of Revenue's overfulfilled goal, the Ministry of War's work performance is really a bit unimpressive!

Su Mingzhe was also very dissatisfied, but remembering that it had only been more than two years since the restoration of Shu, he could not be too demanding and could only warn:

"The literacy rate of the military must be improved, which is related to the implementation of future expansion plans!"

"Now the Ministry of War is divided into three. The Habayashi Guards only have more than 5,000 people, but their combat effectiveness is the highest among the three armies!"

"Compared to the City Defense Army and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Yulin Guards are a bit slack!"

"..."

Su Mingzhe's words are somewhat unreasonable.

Yu Linwei was selected from the beginning, and that was the treatment of Emperor Shu's biological son.

Not only did his clone Ye Song use the method of initiation to directly transmit the internal energy to the Yulin Guards, he also taught them step by step how to practice various martial arts techniques.

In this case, two years have passed. Among the more than 5,000 people in the Yulin Guards, there are more than 2,000 people who have reached the first level (including Jin Yiwei and the first level hall), and the remaining 3,000 people are all the second level.

Little Grandmaster.

As for the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the City Defense Army, in addition to improving their living standards and giving them a few taels of silver every month, the most important thing they can do is to let the best of the Yulin Guards serve as instructors and provide various trainings.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that it is quite difficult for the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the city defense troops to complete their tasks.

Fortunately, the Minister of War did not know this. Faced with Su Mingzhe's accusation, he could only say that he would continue to work hard!

Subsequently, the four ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials also reported on their work.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is the most tired.

The ministers of other ministries all sit in the hall, and they can control them remotely.

However, the Minister of Industry needs to go to various cities in person to check the completion status of infrastructure projects.

Wait for the six ministers to report their work.

Plans for next year have also been finalized.

Everyone claimed the indicator.

Then the five ministers of Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple and Honglu Temple reported their work.

The six ministers are basically the old ministers of Western Shu.

The five ministers were former ministers of Western Chu.

Compared with the advantages of "local operations" of the old ministers of Western Shu, the work was carried out smoothly.

Wu Siqing is considered to be playing on the road, and whatever he does, there are all kinds of constraints.

In order to prevent the old officials of Western Shu from causing trouble, they should get along harmoniously with the old officials of Western Chu.

Su Mingzhe married Pei Nanwei into the palace in the third month after the rouge list came out two years ago, and she was canonized as 'Concubine Chen', with a status second only to the queen, noble concubine, bixue concubine, jade concubine, and fragrant concubine.

A few people are taller.

It's a pity that even though Su Mingzhe has made huge sacrifices for everyone, he still can't bridge the gap between Xi Shu and the old ministers of Xi Chu.

On weekdays, after the two parties place orders, there is basically little contact!

Just when Su Mingzhe led his ministers to formulate a plan for the next five years.

Xu Fengnian, the prince of Northern Liang, finally ended his three-year journey in the world!
