Chapter 450 451 Thunder Means
Tang Nan and Zhou Jia bowed and said in unison: "Your Majesty calm down, this minister supports His Majesty in investigating and punishing these silverfish, and repaying Yong Taiping."
Chu Yuhao looked at the two of them and nodded with satisfaction, "As long as we monarchs and ministers are united, we will be able to create a peaceful and prosperous world together."
Chu Yuhao hurriedly left after handing over the task to the two of them. Zhou Jia and Tang Nan received orders from Chu Yuhao and went home to start their preparations.
Zhou Jia looked at the archives in his hand, thinking that when he first entered the household department, His Majesty ordered him to secretly check the income and expenditure reported by the Tea and Wine Company over the years. The method of increasing taxes to fill the treasury has long wanted to deal with these people. Your Majesty has even found evidence of their corruption and a place to hide their belongings. These days, you are still discussing with them in the courthouse. Your Majesty's thoughts are very deep Measurement.
Zhou Jia thought to himself that His Majesty was so majestic and arrogant, those people were probably just jumping clowns in his eyes. Thinking about the formulation of laws mentioned by Li Yu to constrain local officials, he also wrote a statement and submitted it together.
In the early morning of the next day, officials headed by the Shen family proposed to cancel the franchise of tea, wine, and silk, and proposed to abolish large and small officials in these departments.
The officials who took these interests immediately jumped out to oppose them. The Censor Office openly impeached these officials and showed evidence of their corruption.
The list includes the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Human Resources, who was holding a big banquet last night, the family of the Shilang who had a bad stomach, as well as his father-in-law, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the royal family, who even hid things in It's clearly written everywhere.
His Majesty was furious when he saw it, and sent the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Censor Desk, and officials to investigate and deal with it. Shen Zhong led the Royal Forest Army to assist the three divisions.
The gold, silver and jewelry were piled up in the confiscated mountains. The rare treasures were eye-opening. Everyone was amazed at the wealth of some officials. Some people started to talk quietly, is it the same for the Salt and Iron Division?
Chu Yuhao looked at the thick list on the table, his eyes darkened, he thought of the salt and iron division who was fatter than these departments, he suppressed his anger, and thought of taking his time, the treasury of these people was full. , I want to slowly pull out all these silverfish by the roots.
The officialdom in Kyoto experienced a major earthquake, and the vacant positions became the target of competition for officials. Half a month later, Chu Yuhao resolutely appointed officials to fill these vacancies. Promoted to Minister of the Ministry.
I don't know if it was Chu Yuhao's thunderous tactics that deterred those people, or what was the reason. Tea, wine, silk, and these departments were quickly abolished and dismissed. heavily taxed.
Zhou Jia was done with his work. It was mid-September, and the weather was slowly getting cooler. It was not two days before Li Qing got married. Zhou Jia went to Wangjiaao to pick up Li Yu and return to Kyoto to attend Li Qing's wedding.
When he arrived at Wangjiaao and saw that Li Yu's belly was bigger than it was during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Jia held back his worries and embraced Li Yu and asked, "How are you? Did the child make trouble with you?"
Li Yu smiled softly, "I'm fine, the two children are very naughty, one loves to kick me, the other doesn't bother to move for a long time, the two little villains have such different personalities, it seems that one is a daughter and the other is a son. ."
Zhou Jia put his hand on Li Yu's lower abdomen and stroked it gently, "Fish, you must eat according to the recipe, understand?"
"Got it," Li Yu patted him with a strange smile, and pulled him to see the sweet potatoes she planted, "Xiao Xi, look, this is the sweet potato my master said, and I found it."
What is a sweet potato? Zhou Jia had never heard of it. Looking at the dark green vine-like yam in front of him, he asked with a smile, "Is this a sweet potato? Is it the new food variety you were busy planting? The fruit grows on the ground like yam. in?"
"Yeah! Come with me." Li Yu nodded with a smile.
Li Yu took Zhou Jia to the backyard. Zhou Jia saw a few wooden boxes next to the flower garden, and the sweet potatoes that Li Yu said were planted in them.
After the couple returned to the house, Li Yu said to him: "Xiaoxi, the master said that sweet potatoes are well-planted, the yield is higher than that of corn, drought-resistant and waterlogging-resistant, they can be planted in any corner of the field, and the soil is loose and fertile, and the yield is also very high. Big, my master said that they can generally harvest several thousand catties."
Several thousand catties can really achieve this output, and the people of Dayong will not be short of food to eat.
Zhou Jia stood in front of the windowsill and looked at the sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket with glowing eyes, "Fish, how many months will it take to reap the harvest?"
Li Yu recalled the time when he planted and harvested sweet potatoes in his previous life, "It took about six months."
Zhou Jia nodded with a smile, "Well! Let's see when the time comes to see what it looks like to have such a high yield."
Li Yu remembered that Zhou Jia had brought a letter saying that he was promoted, took him to sit down and asked, "You brought a letter saying that you have been promoted again, and the tax issue has also been resolved, how come it is so fast?"
Zhou Jia looked in admiration, "Your Majesty is ambitious and strategized, and the secret guards from all over the world have already set a date to start. Your Majesty sent the Imperial Forest Army to assist the three divisions, and according to the information provided by the secret guards, copied and inspected the Minister of the Household... ...,
The secret guards from all over the world have already begun to control those officials, tea, wine, and silk officials. The property copied from those people has sent severance pay to those craftsmen. Who dares to change the way of your majesty? Yu'er, you have helped Chu Sihai several times, and you know the ability of the Secret Guard. "
Li Yu nodded, understanding what Zhou Jia said, thinking to himself: These secret guards are similar to the Jinyi guards of the Ming Dynasty. This is hidden in the dark, which is even more shocking. Chu Yuhao is still young and suspicious. When you get old, your personality becomes suspicious and suspicious. These secret guards are just knives hanging over the officials' heads. It's better to find a suitable time to quit as soon as possible.
"That's fine, Dayong is prosperous and we have a better life. You can quit when you find the time. Let's take the children to play in the mountains and water, and see the great rivers and mountains of Dayong."
Zhou Jia also looked at Li Yu, put her feet on his lap, and kneaded gently, "Yeah! I think so too, when Yang'er is older, she can help us take care of our younger brothers and sisters. Let's go out for a walk."
Li Yu laughed, "Okay, then hand them over to Yang'er, we've been to the two-person world."
"The world of two people! Hmm! This word is quite appropriate," Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and nodded with a smile, "Yu'er, Ah Qing's wedding is coming up, let me pack up and go back to Kyoto early in the morning."
"Okay, if you don't come, I'm going to go back early tomorrow morning, count the days, Ruyi and Zhou Bo should be there soon!"
"Qianzhuang brought their letter out, saying that they set off with Qianzhuang's motorcade in early July, and it's almost here."
The couple talked for a while. Zhou Jia saw that Li Yu was asleep and covered her with a thin quilt before going out to the front yard to find Mr. Wen who was playing chess with Han San.
