Chapter 2362

Hu Shanxiang recently fell in love with raising flowers and plants.

Raising flowers and plants seems simple, but it takes time to water and even fertilize every day, and pruning branches and leaves is even more common.

There are many flowers and plants in the Kunning palace. There are special eunuchs and maids waiting on them. It is also a formal profession.

There is nothing to do with flowers and plants in winter. Hu Shanxiang just makes an inspection.

The two children didn't have much patience, so they looked for small insects everywhere.

"Sister, there are insects here."

Corn squatted on the ground, excitedly picked up the body of a black bug and cheered at the end.

He frowned at the bug and said, "it's dead. Throw it away."

"No!"

Corn felt that the corpse of the insect was his booty, so he staggered to his feet and ran to Hu Shanxiang in front.

"Mother, worm!"

Hu Shanxiang was looking at a basin of dead flowers. His face was light and melancholy.

Hearing the happy voice of the child, she smiled and saw the bird's tail come in.

"Madam, your majesty wants the princess and the palace to go down. It seems that he is going out of the palace."

Hu Shanxiang smiled and asked, "where are you going?"

The question became more and more serious. The bird tail was embarrassed and said, "I don't know, but the maid asked them and said that Xinghe was also there."

Hu Shanxiang relieved himself, turned back and said to the two children, "your father will take you out of the palace to play."

Corn doesn't understand, but he's happy to hear play.

……

"The princess has the style of a eldest sister."

After seeing the emperor, the mammy holding corn put him down and led him to salute.

Fang Xing appreciated Duan Duan very much. Zhu Zhanji saw it in his eyes and had some ideas in his heart, but it was hard to say.

When the party left the palace, Yu Jia and Shen Shitou were already waiting.

A carriage that looks very ordinary is the travel tool for Duanduan's sister and brother, but corn is at a loss and wants to find Hu Shanxiang.

"My brother is good. Let's go hunting and hunt some good things for my mother."

There are more and more pedestrians on the street, mostly in and out of shops on both sides, and the voice of bargaining can be heard.

Pedestrians were on the left and right, cattle carts and carriages drove slowly in the middle in an orderly manner, and no one's car ran rampant.

Most of the people looked good. Although they saw people wearing patched clothes from time to time, they disappeared without covering their bodies. In cold winter, the people could wear cotton padded clothes and smile.

Zhu Zhanji looked at this scene and said with emotion: "I think of the riverside map on the Qingming Festival. It's so prosperous and fascinating. Now the Ming Dynasty is booming, but it still needs to benefit the people. Someone proposed to reduce grain tax next year. What do you think?"

"It's a good thing that there are mountains of grain in warehouses everywhere, but we should pay attention to the scale."

"What do you say?"

"Step by step or persevere. For example, it's better to reduce grain tax by 10% this year, half next year and 10% later."

Fang Xing's words were more obscure, but Zhu Zhanji understood them.

"Are you worried that the people expect it every year?"

"Yes."

Fang Xing's previous life is a standard citizen mentality, so he can know the thoughts of the people like the back of his hand.

"People have to live without benefits, but once they give benefits, give them for a few years, don't give them later, or reduce them a lot, they will be dissatisfied, even yell and scold. If someone incites them, they will even make trouble."

"But this benefit was not available before. Why should they be dissatisfied?"

When Zhu Zhanji spoke, he suddenly realized: "yes, Grandpa Huang used to take me out of the palace. Later, he didn't go out much for half a year. At that time, I complained."

This metaphor is inappropriate, but it also shows Zhu Zhanji's nostalgia for Zhu Di.

All the way to fangjiazhuang, an old man was on patrol. This was the work of those idle old men in the village. They patrolled in shifts. When they found strangers, they stopped them for questioning. It was regarded as a peripheral line of defense.

The old man had seen Zhu Zhanji, so he knelt down on the spot.

Yu Jia picked him up and whispered, "don't talk too much, or the whole family will be cut off!"

The emperor can't go out of the palace privately. At that time, all the ministers will give advice together. In the future, countless pairs of eyes will stare, and the palace will really become a cage.

Fang Xing said disapprovingly, "just don't talk nonsense at home, or you'll directly deduct the benefits of your family."

The farmers of fangjiazhuang will get some benefits every year. Most of them are all kinds of things issued by the owner.

Although they are not bad for money now, once others have their own family, they will lose their face.

The old man is not afraid of Jia Quan's threat at all. He has been pretending to be a fool. At the moment, he hurried to answer Fang Xing's words.

This is why it is better for the county magistrate to take charge now. The old man knows that Fang Xing can protect himself, so he is not afraid of Jia Quan.

"End to end!"

The unexpected arrival of Duanduan and corn made Zhang Shuhui a little nervous, but worry free was very happy.

"I'll take you to see the big dog."

Children always like to show off their family. Worry free now just wants to see if two big dogs can scare corn, so they are very enthusiastic.

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were walking on the village. Jia Quan took people to protect them on both sides in the distance, ready to separate the emerging village households at any time.

The ground was frozen and hard to walk on.

Zhu Zhanji walked slowly with his hands down and his eyes coagulated: "someone said it was time to fight Xun Qi."

Xun Qi is so illegal that he can find evidence by doing it. But unless the emperor doesn't like him, the evidence will be buried in the old pile of paper forever.

"Whose idea?"

Fang Xing felt that the timing of this proposal was too subtle and suspected of forcing the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji said faintly, "it's a big deal to move the gentry. Should the hoons and relatives who are fooling around and the illegal hoons and relatives move? This is to make me lose my car and guard the marshal. It's estimated that I still have some coquettish meaning. I think the gentry should find someone to accompany me to kill when they have suffered a great loss. It's a very interesting suggestion."

Xun Qi was the emperor's strongest supporter, so before Zhu Zhanji exposed his attitude, Fang Xing was not easy to speak and could only be silent.

Zhu Zhanji also knew this, so he said to himself: "Xun Qi used to be the pillar of the national Dynasty, at least Wu Xun was, but firearms gradually have the meaning of replacing knives and guns, but I dare not give these firearms to them. After all... Their family is in the front and the country is in the back, I'm afraid I can't sleep well!"

"The martial arts students are slowly controlling the Ming army. If they are decisive, I should clean up those martial heroes when there is no external threat, but they are all meritorious heroes or meritorious heroes. What can I do?"

Fang woke up and nodded in sympathy.

Many people in Xun Qi are eating and waiting to die, such as the two princes of the Xu family.

"But they're on the top. How can the bottom come up?"

Zhu Zhanji seemed a little embarrassed: "although Daming is not small, I don't want to see more and more honours and relatives. I have to seal some fields every year. It must be the best, otherwise someone will say I'm mean."

"This time, most of the honourable relatives took the initiative to hand over those fields, which left me speechless."

They had to take the initiative. Those relatives broke their teeth for this, but under the threat of the emperor, they could only swallow it with blood.

Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to know about it. He said quietly, "if Daming is a wooden tower, I will be the tip of the tower. Below are important officials and relatives. What can they do when there are fewer fields?"

"Do business."

Fang Xing's irresponsible suggestion.

Zhu Zhanji said unhappily, "which of those Xun Qi in the dark doesn't do business?"

"Then the rank and salary will decline. Unless later generations make meritorious contributions, it will slowly dissipate."

Fang Xing thinks that hereditary titles are the most bullshit. In real life, Laozi heroes are often Laozi heroes and bastards.

Therefore, the best way is to reduce the title and buffer it slowly. Several generations have enjoyed the support of Daming. No matter how much credit it takes, it should be enough.

Zhu Zhanji kicked a stone, and then his right foot couldn't help moving on the ground.

"This matter makes me in a dilemma, but compared with the whole Ming Dynasty, Xun Qi is only a corner. Alas! It's difficult!"
