After a few days of busy schedule, I was resting in the yamen today. I was silent and I could finally rest and sleep in. I didn’t get up until the sun was midnight.

He stretched comfortably and felt the warm sunshine. He couldn't help but moaned: "What a great god..." After he woke up a little, he turned his face and said: "Why is it sunny again?"

He grew up in the south and liked the sun very much, but now he has become a parent all over the place. He hopes that it will be sunny and when it should be raining, even the wish for birthdays has changed from "promotion and wealth" to "good weather".

But if the wishes were made, the world would be harmonious long ago. So from the twelfth lunar month last year, there has not been a drop of rain for three months. All counties have started digging canals to divert water to ensure spring plowing. However, if this continues, the water level in the rivers and lakes will drop too much, and although there will be no drought, it is inevitable to reduce yields.

Thinking of this, the quiet good mood disappeared. I picked up a thick booklet from the pillow. It was Gui Youguang who "collected many years of hard work" and wrote the "Three Wu Water Conservancy Record" in seven days. In addition to his two water control plans, there is also the management process of each local official from the Yuan Dynasty and the Wusong River, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, which is indeed a work of hard work.

But Chen Si still couldn't make up his mind because Gui Youguang's so-called small governance also required a budget of at least 800,000 taels. Where did the money be paid? The treasury was less than 50,000 taels. Even if the official silver from the counties in Changzhou, Wu County, Changzhou, Kunshan, was not enough for 100,000 taels. Wouldn't it be useless to have no money?

Chen Si said to Gui Youguang: "When summer tax comes up, we will give priority to solving this matter."

Gui Youguang said depressedly: 'Apart from giving it to the treasury, vassal kings, and provinces, it would be good to have 300,000 taels left. Even if you tie your neck, you won't be able to make up half of it."

"This is the Suzhou Prefecture, the world's number one tax quota..." Silently put the book, closed his eyes depressedly and said, "There are many shops, workshops everywhere, and the world is prosperous, and there is no place to go. There is not even a money for building a dam. It's really ironic!" Who can blame this? Who made Lao Zhu set the commercial tax rate to thirty taxes back then, and he gave the officials and gentry no need to pay taxes? Seeing the merchants making money every day, the noble families were so rich that they couldn't collect taxes!

Five hundred thousand taels? Not enough for a big businessman to carry out a business operation, and the total amount of funds mobilized! Silence is really annoying, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, sooner or later, I will make you bleed a lot!"

After ejaculation, life still needs to continue. Lord Fu Zun got up and dressed in clothes and went to the front hall for dinner. While he was having breakfast, he saw Tiezhu hurried in and whispering to him.

"Well..." Nodded silently and said softly: "First find him a place to stay, and I will go there when I have time."

"Yes." Tiezhu left in a hurry without saying a word, and then continued to eat in silence, as if nothing had happened.

Tiezhu reported to him just now that Mao Haifeng was here! It is said that the task he assigned had been completed.

‘Why didn’t this guy go to Hu Zongxian?’ I couldn’t help but smile bitterly, thinking that I was not annoyed enough? I was just causing trouble for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast, he returned to the signing room and prepared to start the daily must-read reading.

His reading comes from three aspects. On the one hand, it is the court's report, which consists of the emperor's decree, court affairs, and memorials of officials. The second is the information sent by Zhu Shisan. There is no date for this. If there is nothing, it will be reported at any time if there is anything, but if there is nothing. There is another one, which is the price monitoring project that Gui Youguang is responsible for. It is reported every day, regardless of wind and rain. Although it is boring, it can allow silence to grasp the pulse of the city.

The guards responsible for the security of the signing house brought fragrant tea to the adults, took out three pieces of information from the confidential box and placed it on the major case.

Silence first dragged the information of Dibao and Jinyiwei to the front, and compared it to the two. The former involves much wider aspects than the latter. Basically, there are a few bigger things in the two capitals and 13 provinces. However, there is no insider, which is better for people to understand the details of the truth and the effectiveness is not enough, so no one can replace anyone.

While drinking tea and reading newspapers, I first browse the news in the capital. The entire first few pages are all about the beloved emperor, which is very comprehensive and detailed, so that even officials in the border areas can feel the absurdity of their beloved Your Majesty.

Yes, absurd. Look at what this is all about?

The first page is the decree of Emperor Jiajing from the Taoist name, saying that the emperor named himself "The Nine Heavens Hong Sect Puji Practice the Palm of the Palm of the Palm of the Palm of the Palm of the Palm of the Palm of the Palm of the Great Dao Siren Pulmonary Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhenren Yuanxuxuan Ying Huanhua and subdue the demons and the Zhongxiao Emperor". He counted silently, and there were thirty-seven words in total. He remembered that the emperor seemed to have a Taoist name, saying: "The Emperor Shangqing Tong Lei Yuanyang Miaoyifei Xuan Zhenjun". It seems that he thought that this Taoist name was not long enough and not grand enough.

Looking at the second page, it is the edict of "ordering all places to collect Ganoderma lucidum". It is said that the emperor heard that the ancients used Ganoderma lucidum as medicine. Eating it for a long time is beneficial to the body, which can prolong life and cure diseases and improve the body. He then issued an edict to the Ministry of Justice, Longhu, Sanmao, Qiyun and Wuyue to pick Ganoderma lucidum lucidum, and visited the people.

I was silently thinking, should I get a copy of it myself? I thought about it, let’s forget it, the reputation of the favourite minister is not good. So I looked to the third page, and it was sent to supervise the woods in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei and Guang; on the fourth page, the imperial edict was ordered by Shuntian and others to purchase pearls: on the fifth page, Fujian and Guangdong, ambergris...

All the news summarized, only gives people a clear impression. The emperor is arrogant and extravagant. At this time of national crisis, he wasted excessive money. He is really a fool!

But Chen Si had contacted Jiajing. He knew that the emperor was not so slutty. Although he did spend a lot of money on practicing Taoism, he still knew it very well in other aspects. For example, the bedroom in Xiyuan has collapsed for a year and a half, but because there are too many places to use money, the emperor kept holding on and living in a side hall. Even if Zhao Wenhua was destroyed, he didn't say that he would use the money from the house to build the palace for himself?

The edict of "sending officials to supervise the woods in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei and Guang" is obviously because the people below were afraid of repeating Zhao Wenhua's mistakes and took the initiative to handle them. Even silent can be guessed, and the suggestion must be Yan Shifan!

In addition to giving himself a name to the Tao and offering Ganoderma lucidum, it is hard to say whether the other edicts were the emperor's original intention or whether the people below were tying tiger skins to make big banners. But undoubtedly, these will be recorded in the emperor as evidence of his "extreme debauchery".

"Who is so unethical?" Silence couldn't help but smile. He found that these imperial edicts were not issued at once. In fact, it spanned three months before and after the New Year. However, the person who compiled the Di News concentrated them in the first issue and issued them, and the shocking effect naturally doubled. Although he didn't know who did it, the Di News was subject to the Ministry of Rites for review, and that old thing Zhao Zhenji must have no choice but to escape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After reading the mischievous spoof, Emperor Jiajing was in a good mood in silence. When he looked at the news from the local area, he was even more messy. The announcement was in a hurry, and Mr. Altan, who was as punctual as the tide, came to rob him again. Chen Yiming, a Yao native in Guangdong, led the people to stir up trouble, called "Chengtian Overlord". The robbery was high. Yangjiang and other places. The official army entered the mountains to fight for suppression, and they were defeated repeatedly. After the earthquake in Shaanxi and Henan, the reconstruction was slow, and the plague continued. A large number of refugees fled to famine, 20% of whom went to Beijing and Shandong, and the rest went to Jiangnan.

Generally, prefectures and counties regard refugees as floods. Once countless refugees come like tides, it will be a big problem for the officials and the black shiny will hang. A few days before the silence, I saw sporadic refugees outside Suzhou City. It seems that I must start planning how to deal with it.

Of course, in local news, the Southeast will always be the protagonist. When I was silently seeing Hu Zongxian’s “anti-Japanese strategy”, the focus was: First, select military generals, those who can be granted a meritorious service, and those who are not accustomed to water war should be dismissed. Second, serve as civil servants and coach soldiers. Third, select and train soldiers, and remove old and weak soldiers. Fourth, be clear-minded, command soldiers in different ways, and each bears their own responsibilities. Five, discuss extraordinary merits and promote rewards. Six, divide the trust land, and officials at all levels must stick to their respective territories. Seven, carry out tutors, and send officials to urge the Japanese king to ban the islands. The emperor is allowed to implement them.

He saw silently and happily that Hu Zongxian finally put water war first. Such a combination of water and land and water, and the combination of pacification and suppression was the correct way to curb Japanese pirates.

Zhuzhi's clear ideas and clear suggestions reflect that Hu Zongxian can finally speak freely and show his ambitions. Emperor Jiajing also gave the governor the greatest trust. Without anyone to restrain him, he silently believed that Hu Zongxian would turn the situation of resisting the Japanese dynasty little by little.

Then there was the war, and both sides had a victory or defeat, but the Japanese pirates who came and went smoothly took advantage. Silenced from Zhu Shisan's information, it was discovered that Xu Hai and Ye Ma were frequently active, and after the attack in Zhejiang was blocked, they tended to move towards Susong.

Zhu Shisan also specifically reminded him to keep silent and ask him to collect spies who spread rumors, saying that rumors of Japanese pirates fighting in April are now circulating in places such as Taicang, Changshu, and Taicang, and they must not cause unnecessary riots.

Silent frowned, picked up the third price monitoring, and spent a quarter of an hour to fill in the latest data in the price change curve chart he made. He found that the prices of fifteen local necessities have basically increased steadily, but there is little change.

However, when analyzing the prices of supply areas such as Taicang in Changshu, it was found that there was a clear upward trend, especially in the past half month, the price of rice has risen by 50%, from one liang, seven liang, and two liang. Although the green and yellow are not in line with the time when rice prices are rising, the same period last year was only one liang, eight liang, and in May and June, it only rose to two liang, one, two.

As for the price of flour, it is slightly cheaper than rice, but the increase is similar. The premium white flour has reached 2 taels and 40 stones.

If this method of increase would not exceed three or three stone this year? His silent brows were twisted into a knot. Suddenly, he remembered that he had a private visit in a restaurant. Master Wei Si said, "The harvest will be 30% bad this year. The price of new rice with shells in Changshu will rise to about three or three stones."

'Is this an accurate prophecy or a malicious fanning of the flames?' Chen Si couldn't help but nervously said: "Come Chen Hongchang for me!" Although there was no storm in Suzhou for a while, it would be too late to worry about the day of the surge!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Less than two quarters of an hour later, Chen Hongchang came panting and kowtowed to Chen Mo respectfully: "Uncle, are you having something to do with your nephew?"

Chen Si raised his hand and said, "Sit down and say." After Boss Shen sat down, he asked straightforwardly: "What's wrong with it recently?" Seeing Chen Hongchang's confused look on his face, he had to say, "Coupons, the issuance of those coupons!"

"Oh," Chen Hongchang nodded and said, "I've been urging there recently, and it's more than twice as many as last month."

"So much?" Chen Si frowned and said, "Why don't you report?"

"You always say that you will report to you when the price of cake fluctuates greatly." Chen Hongchang said little: "But the price of cakes has only increased by 10%, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

"Hmm..." Chen Si hugged his chest and said, "Have you bought too many cakes recently?"

"There is no change," Chen Hongchang said: "Even if it rises by 10%, it is also a matter of customary practice. It will definitely rise when the green and yellow are not connected."

"Where is the purchase price of grain?" Chen Silent said softly.

"Purchase price?" Chen Hongchang shook his head and said, "It's nothing unusual, it's more expensive than in previous years. However, the rainfall this year is less, and the failure is certain, and one or two liang and one stone is normal."

"One or seven?" Chen Shu laughed: "Which year of your almanac?"

"This year's?" Chen Hongchang said innocently: "I went to Changshu for a month to get flour, and the last time it was the price."

"Do you know how much it costs now?" Chen Si smiled and said, "Two two 4 twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twel

"Ah?" Chen Hongchang stood up and blurted out, "Isn't it possible?" After saying that, he remembered that Lord Manchu was so anxious to find him. He must have fallen down and said, "How could this happen?"

Silently said: "According to the current upward trend, it is very likely to break through the 'three two' that is circulating among the market by May and June."

Chen Hongchang sat there blankly, his face turned blue and red. He suddenly slapped his thighs hard and said, "I understand! Those bastards with the pawnshop ticket number must have known this news!" He said to the silent with red eyes: "They want to stockpile our various coupons and sell them to the outside world after the price rises, so that they will get rich!" As he said, gritting his teeth, "It's just the money of our merchants and the people!"

He is right. It is already difficult for merchants to issue so many coupons! Even if the purchase price rises, sales must be maintained, but many ordinary people will buy goods with the tickets they sold at the original price. Once the purchase price exceeds the original selling price, it means that the more they sell, the more they lose!

Ordinary people will not make any profit, because most of the coupons are in pawn shops, and they will definitely raise prices on the ground. As long as the actual price is a little cheaper than the actual price at that time, the people will also buy them all!

In the end, only those pawn shops and ticket numbers were fattened...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Chen Hongchang thought that the money he had earned in the past few years might flow out like flowing water, he felt like a knife cut and begged: "Sir, you can't let this happen, otherwise it will be all..."

"Calm down." Silently shouted: "You are not going to invite the pawnshop and the ticket owner to see us. Let's go now, which means that at noon, I will invite them to have dinner in the government office."

"Yes." Chen Hongchang got up and said, "I'll go to each house to notify you."

"Don't panic," he said slowly in silence, "The sky falls, I'll hold it!"

"Yes." Chen Hongchang took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Chen Si, turned around and raised his head and went out with his chest, but he tripped by the threshold, fell and went out.

Seeing his busy appearance, he couldn't help laughing silently, but his smile quickly solidified on his face and his eyes became heavy, because what he had to face would be a huge interest group!

Want to defeat them? It's difficult...

But if you don’t defeat them, Suzhou will never be his sloppy Suzhou. You will get half the result with twice the effort when doing anything!

"Do it! No matter how difficult it is, you must fuck them!" He hit the table hard and said in a quiet voice: "Come Gui Youguang!"

Lao Gui arrived soon, and saw the adult blowing the paper that was still dry on the table. When he heard him come in, he said without raising his head: "Hold this order and send someone to take over the grain warehouses and silver warehouses of Wuxian, Changzhou, Taicang, Wujiang, Changshu, and ordered all counties to obey my unified dispatch. Without my order, no grain of rice or one tael of silver is allowed!" As he said that, he picked up the seal and put it on the paper and said: "For a period of two months..."

I heard that it was only temporary, Gui Youguang sighed and said: "I will do my best to do it."

"It's not about doing your best," said silently, looking at him with a sword-like look: "But it must be done!"

"My dear master," Gui Youguang smiled bitterly, "Although the magistrates are your subordinates, the magistrates in Suzhou each have their own background and tasks, and may not be willing to buy the account of a low-ranking position." Fearing that they were silent and unbelievable, they also gave an example: "Ruan Zisong, the magistrate of Jiading, is the nephew of Ruan E of the governor of Zhejiang; Tang Di, the magistrate of Wujiang, is the cousin of Tang Ruji, the magistrate of Hangzhou..."

"I don't listen to who is who is," said silently: "Just take the orders and whether they listen or not."

Gui Youguang smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "My lord is really a personality..."
