As soon as Zhu Xu entered the cabinet hall, news spread throughout the cabinet, and some people bowed to salute in certain places.

Zhu Xu ignored it and walked straight to the third floor.

At this time, in the side hall of the cabinet, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting and Fu Changzong were discussing the matter.

Bi Ziyan said: "Let's not talk about Dali Temple, the Governor's Office. Wang Qiaonian, I will find an opportunity to let them report separately. Now let's talk about the household registration matters, what's going on."

Sun Chuanting didn't say anything and looked at Fu Changzong.

The Ministry of Revenue is Fu Changzong's territory, and it is not just his contact.

Fu Changzong is very familiar with these things. He has been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and Zhang Bingwen is also his deputy for many years. He said: "At present, several northern provinces are registered, including the three provinces in Northern Zhili, Shanxi and Shandong. The population is 14 million, which is nearly three million more than the statistics in the first year of Jingzheng. This is still preliminary. Then from north to south, other provinces will also start one after another. The newly designed ID card Ministry of Revenue is stepping up replacement. Checkpoints, government agencies, and departments directly under the imperial court will strengthen verification to crack down on household registration hiding, concealment of resident registration and other behaviors..."

The disaster in the Ming Dynasty has been quite serious in the past decade, especially in the north, where the population cannot grow. The increase in this statistics is obviously the household residents who have been hiding before.

Bi Ziyan frowned, but he didn't expect that the entry and exit would be so big.

Sun Chuanting continued: "The report from Jiangsu Province, they found that the situation they found out was much more than expected. Most of these people were used to do illegal things, and more were tax evasion. According to the calculations of me and others, the population hidden in my Ming Dynasty may be as high as 20 million, and the tax burden of evasion every year is more than 5 million taels..."

Bi Ziyan listened, with a calm expression and said, "The emperor told me about this in the third year of Chongzhen. We didn't agree with it at that time. Now it seems that we are still doing some things slowly."

Fu Changzong knew Zhu Xu's policies best, and then said: "It is synchronized with the household registration and the measurement of land acres. The land of Shaanxi and Sichuan is quite smooth, and the resistance is not very large. However, the south has encountered a lot of trouble. The officials plan to find an opportunity in the middle of the year and take a trip in person..."

Re-registering the household registration and measuring the land acres has already had a direct impact on the Ming Dynasty and the solidified landlord class. They want to resist the court with weak control at the county level and weak control, especially the procrastination technique, which is simply perfect.

Bi Ziyan was about to speak, but Zheng Youyuan hurried in and said, "Sir, the emperor invites you to go there."

Bi Ziyan's face moved and said, "Who has the emperor called?"

Zheng Youyuan said, "There is also Mr. Sun Ge Lao, but Mr. Sun Ge Lao went to the Military Weapon Bureau outside the city early in the morning and was not in the city."

Bi Ziyan nodded. He knew something and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Yes." Zheng Youyuan said.

Bi Ziyan looked at Zheng Youyuan's back and turned to Fu Changzong. Sun Chuanting said, "You have a plan to do a statistic. In the evening, the cabinet and the six ministries held an enlarged meeting to make a final decision on these matters and solve the problems in one go."

Sun Chuanting and Fu Changzong nodded without saying much.

Bi Ziyan got up and turned back to his class room, and then went up to the third floor.

Cao Huachun greeted him at the door. Bi Ziyan had always despised the eunuchs, but he nodded indifferently and imperceptibly.

In the class room, Zhu Xu was watching the memorial from Cao Bianjiao. Cao Bianjiao had no extra words, no suggestions, and no attitude. Everything was a statement, and everything happened in Japan was written in the memorial.

The situation in Japan gradually appeared very clearly in Zhu Xu's mind, making him ponder.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is not that easy for him to bow his head. Regardless of the authenticity of this peace talk, Japan will inevitably redeem its military force, continue to confront the Ming Dynasty, and may even have another battle in Korea.

Zhu Xu looked at it silently, but Bi Ziyan walked in without even notice.

"I will meet the emperor." Bi Ziyan walked to the imperial table, looked at Zhu Xu who was thinking, and raised his hand and said.

Zhu Xu looked up at him and smiled and said, "Sit down, I haven't delayed your affairs?"

Bi Ziyan raised his hand and was used to Zhu Xu's politeness. He thanked him and sat down, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Parliament has already reviewed this year's plan. There is no big problem. It will be given to the Emperor's Royal View soon."

Zhu Xu closed Cao Bianjiao's memorial and said, "Liu Shimin went to listen and said roughly to me. I just said one thing: Be safe and have little progress. We must speed up further. Don't be too stable and complete. We are racing against time now. It's faster. Even if there is a small problem, it doesn't matter. We can make up for it later..."

Although Bi Ziyan has accelerated, he obviously cannot meet Zhu Xu's request. He did not defend himself and said, "Yes. I plan to go to Shaanxi in May to see Li Banghua's 'farm plan' with my own eyes."

The "farm farm strategy" has basically spread across Shaanxi, and the chaos caused is getting bigger and bigger, and the cabinet is almost unable to withstand it. Wen Tiren has gone. Although it has eased, Sichuan, Guizhou and others are planning to increase their implementation efforts. The noise caused is probably no less than a big chaos in the people, and the pressure from the court is even more tremendous and difficult to maintain.

Zhu Xu had no objection to this and said, "Well, you can do this. By the way, what was the cabinet planning for the matter in Japan?"

Bi Ziyan knew that this was the point that Zhu Xu asked him to come, and he said directly: "Emperor, I believe that this matter should be discussed by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and I will control it and finally submit it to the emperor for approval."

Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his hand and said, "This matter should indeed be left to the Foreign Affairs Bureau to handle, but this battle is led by the General Administration. The war has not stopped yet. If the General Administration is completely isolated, it is not appropriate. I still have to respect Master Sun's attitude."

Bi Ziyan frowned. Sun Chengzong wanted to consider it, but he wouldn't think about it?

Bi Ziyan knew that Zhu Xu was expressing his attitude in a tactful manner, but Bi Ziyan was still deeply worried about the expanding power and influence of the General Administration, and insisted: "The emperor, General Administration, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau have clear rights and responsibilities. The General Administration should not overestimate his power and cause chaos in the court's power. I insist that this matter is led by the cabinet."

Zhu Xu had a headache and held his forehead with one hand. He could still suppress other things. Now Bi Ziyan is taking the truth and insisting on it, which makes him embarrassed.

Bi Ziyan looked up at Zhu Xu and said decisively: "I can allow the General's Office to send people to participate in the negotiations, but this matter is led by the cabinet and the emperor decides."

Bi Ziyan also figured out Zhu Xu's routine, for fear that he would come up with other ideas and use this to block Zhu Xu's mouth.

Zhu Xu smiled, slapped the table and stood up, saying, "Okay, this matter is decided like this. By the way, Master Sun Ge is the second assistant to the cabinet. You can't exclude him just because he is the Marshal of the General's Office. You have to consult his ideas for the cabinet affairs."

Bi Ziyan rarely showed a hint of self-deprecating expression on his face and smiled bitterly in his heart. Even though he was scheming, he could not compare to the person in front of him.
