Chapter 88 Night, sleepless.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Juzheng immediately sent someone to investigate the matter about sweet potatoes and corn. In fact, it was not difficult to investigate. Zhu Yijun did not hide these things either, but he found someone in the imperial village to understand them.

Zhang Juzheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was settled.

The land sale and new seeds spread quickly, and the first auction naturally started from Shuntian Prefecture. There were no limits to gentry, royal family and nobles, and there were no interest in the people, so the capital became lively.

In this era, land is the most important means of production, and new seeds are attractive enough.

Some people also found that some people plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in other places, but they were not promoted, but the yield was indeed amazing. So when buying land, they were once again pushed to the forefront. Countless nobles and royal families wanted to buy their fields back.

Zhu Yijun told the Ministry of Revenue and Zhang Jing to handle this matter. After the news that someone had planted new seeds, Zhu Yijun never paid attention to this matter.

When the land sale was in full swing, the court began to discuss another thing, that is, the national land inventory.

Since the land inventory of nobles and royal families has been completed, everyone knows that the land inventory across the country has been unable to stop it. This matter was brought up again, and few people have opposed it by submitting memorials.

Zhang Juzheng believed that this matter should be done while the iron was hot, and while the temporary yamen was still there, he began to find a province to try it out.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Cabinet ministers and six ministers gathered together, this time they were to discuss the matter about the national land inventory. Whether there is any necessary question is not within today's topic at all. There is only one issue today, that is, which province to try it out.

"In this investigation, the military's military farming must also be included. The wastelands reclaimed by the army are not allowed to be mixed into the number of reclaimed companies to avoid disturbances, and they are separately booked." Zhang Juzheng glanced at Duke Ding and Duke of England and said first.

The military farming is also a big problem. This matter will be resolved sooner or later. Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "It's so good!"

"As for which province to start clearing the accounting and land, I think it is the most suitable in Jiangxi." Zhang Juzheng did not give others a chance to speak this time, and directly expressed what he thought, that was Jiangxi.

"I think it's a little thinner to omit it alone!" Shen Shixing thought for a while and spoke.

"It's OK to Jiangxi in the south. I think it's better to choose a province in the north and one province in the north and south. It's easier to do with a comparison."

Shen Shixing's words made many people nodded. It was indeed a good idea to join the two provinces.

Zhu Yijun turned his head and looked at Zhang Juzheng, and asked with a smile: "What do you think sir?"

"Return to the emperor, I think it is feasible!" Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I think this province in the north should be placed in Shanxi. Shanxi is a major province for military farming. The location is very important, and I think it is more appropriate to place it in Shanxi."

This time everyone looked at Zhang Siwei, Shanxi is his hometown!

Zhang Siwei's expression remained unchanged and said, "Then let's go to Shanxi! I also think Shanxi is suitable."

The first two provinces for the investigation were settled, and the court in Shanxi and Jiangxi were once again in a busy state.

By December of the ninth year of Wanli, the land clearance of the two provinces was also completed. Jiangxi reported that the 66 prefectures and counties in the province were originally an additional 61,459 hectares and 54 acres of land were released.

It was found that each of Nanfeng County rented 47,300 stones of land, and Wuning County did not sell 371 mu of land, and sold it with a price, and received 36,490 taels of silver.

After this report came out, the court officially began to carry out land clearance across the country.

The first province to complete was Shandong. Shandong Fuku He Qiming, Chen Gong first reported the results of the province's clearance: the province's military and civilians stationed grain land and civilians, with the original quota total of 763,858 hectares, and 363,487 hectares of land were released.

The original quota of the garrison was 36,915 hectares, and the land was 2,268 hectares.

When it arrived at Wanli 100,000, all the reports from various provinces were delivered to the capital.

On the sixth day of the third month of the tenth year of Wanli, the governor of Liaodong Zhou Yongtai went out to garrison more than 8,903 hectares and fifty mu of land, and more than 199,840 stones of grain; the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the tenth year of Wanli, the Ministry of Revenue resumed the Guangxi Inspector Guo applied for the job of the provincial government. In addition to the supplementary period of the country, there were 768 hectares of land and 87 mu of land in the official and civilians, and 3898 stones of grain.

Zhang Juzheng's mansion.

It was already late at night, and Zhang Juzheng was still sitting in the study, his expression on his face was sometimes relaxed and sometimes serious.

Zhang Jingxiu walked in from outside and lit up his father's lights. Seeing that his father looked up at him, he spoke and said, "Father, it's getting late, it's time to rest, and things are always endless."

He looked at his son lovingly, and Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "It's soon, it's soon, the land clearance of various provinces has been completed. This year's tax revenue will definitely be much better. With the promotion of new crops in the past two years, the imperial court's Taicang grain reserves are enough for fifteen years to spend."

"The national treasury has more than four million taels of silver, so the matter for my father is almost done."

Looking at his father's gray hair, Zhang Jingxiu's nose was sore and his voice trembled, "I wish my father to fulfill his wish as soon as possible!"

Zhang Jingxiu saw all the busy and hardworking fathers in recent years.

"I am writing a memorial for my father about reducing and exempting those who have been owed money and grain for years." Zhang Juzheng saw his son's appearance and said with a smile: "In the process of clearing the accounts, most of the people who deliberately owed money and grain have been recovered."

"The rest of those who really can't be recovered can't be paid."

"The court is now rich, so I want to ask the emperor to exempt these people from taxes. I can't force them to survive!" Zhang Juzheng said with a smile and said, "Forget it, then I'm going to write tomorrow. I'll take a break now, so you can go to bed too!"

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Although it was late at night, Zhu Yijun didn't sleep. He stood at the window and looked at the moon in the sky. Zhu Yijun thought without expression.

It has been ten years since Wanli, and he has been in the Ming Dynasty for ten years. From a ten-year-old young emperor to twenty years old, he has become the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After clenching his fists, Zhu Yijun smiled: "Zhang Jing, bring me a pot of wine. I can't sleep anymore. It's a good thing to drink for Yue. If you drink a little, you might be able to sleep."
