    I nodded.  "Okay, let's do this. We'll first go to the Jiaozhi area and ask about the wind resistance of the local cement masonry houses. In addition, we can do a lot of publicity in the coastal areas of Lingnan first. We have good intentions, but we must not be overly arrogant.  , the most important thing is to guide them so that they understand the benefits and they will naturally do what we say. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of this as soon as possible," Ma Zhou said.  Ming replied.  "This year's grain production is already so high?" I saw a conspicuous and eye-catching number on the data table. After counting the digits, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.  More than 247 million stone, this number really shocked me.  But after a closer look, I realized that this was only the total grain output. In the seventh year of the great cause of the previous dynasty, the national grain output reached more than 622 million shi. Now, I have almost occupied nearly five years of the Sui Dynasty.  Three-thirds of the land, but only this amount of food was obtained.  It's really not that high to say.  Based on this calculation, our food income is only over 20 million dan.  In addition to ensuring the needs of the war, the daily food of the army, and the 15 million dan required for various other miscellaneous items, these grains also need to be consumed by officials, factories, construction workers, etc.  The amount of food used has reached 20 million dan.  ¡° Moreover, at least 10 million stones must be prepared to store food and leave it in various places to prepare for disasters.  Therefore, there is still a gap of at least 20 million dan in the grain gifts we have collected.  Fortunately, the economy has been booming in the past two years and tax revenue has been rising.  Coupled with social stability, people are also willing to sell their stored grain in exchange for corresponding daily necessities.  In addition, food is now collected by both the state and private individuals.  The purpose of state collection is to stabilize food prices.  The purpose of private expropriation is to introduce competition so that the national grain management will not be dominated by one company, thereby causing adverse reactions.  Of course, the prices levied by private and state levies are naturally the same. In addition, all measuring instruments must be produced by workshops designated by the state, and there will be no weird problems with big or small buckets.  Thinking about it, it shouldn¡¯t be a big problem to collect 45 million to 60 million dan of grain this year. As for what the extra grain collected will be used for?  It's very simple. Part of it can be sold to those families who are short of food. "Your Majesty, the main reason is that the fields in Lingnan have not been completely clarified, so this does not include the food income of most areas in Lingnan. In addition, there are also crops under Jianghuai's rule  "We haven't been able to fully start work yet, and the food income there has not been included," Fang Xuanling replied with a smile.  "Moreover, the population under our control is only about one-fifth of that of the previous dynasty, but we have already produced more than one-third of the food of the previous dynasty at its peak, which shows that our dynasty is prosperous and peaceful." "Well, I am a Chinese official.  We must pay attention to the simultaneous development of agriculture, industry and commerce, especially in the cultivation of grains. We must pay close attention to the training of personnel from various places. I don¡¯t want those officials who don¡¯t even understand farming to just sit there with a farming book in hand.  Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai.  "Your Majesty, rest assured that we are already working hard on this matter. However, at present, there are still too few officials who are familiar with farming. If we had not obtained a large number of manpower from veterans, I am afraid there would be even more  Scarcity." "It doesn't matter. Things are done step by step, but every step must be implemented." "Your Majesty, I just received this at noon today" Du Ruhui saw those people.  After finishing the report, he came up to me and carefully handed me a piece of information.  After opening it and taking a few glances, I couldn¡¯t help but frown.  The ministers' eyes were immediately attracted.  ¡°That¡¯s it, send someone to give this thing to Wei Shangshu, and ask him to send someone to find out the whole story, um, as soon as possible.¡± I sighed softly and handed the information back to Du Ruhui, saying with a sullen face.  Du Ruhui nodded and strode towards the layman, leaving behind several important ministers who looked at each other sideways.  "You should stop asking, I will let you know about this." I grinned.  After watching these ministers leave, I leaned on the couch tiredly. The end of autumn is always the most tiring time, because the autumn harvest is really a worry.  Fortunately, this year is another good harvest year.  Nowadays, both taxes and grain taxes have increased significantly, allowing me to calmly carry out economic and infrastructure construction.  With income, it must be invested, so that the brand-new chariot of the Chinese Empire can have sufficient power to continue moving forward.  This is a cycle, and it must continue like this, so that the Chinese Empire can move forward quickly on the highway.  Before, countless civil and military ministers expressed strong opposition to this.  They are not against me spending money, but they are against me spending money so generously.  In their eyes, money should be thrown awayInside the treasury, the hemp thread through which the money is threaded has all rotted away, that is the wealth of the country.  For this reason, I snorted. Even if I gave the example of Hancheng, I could not completely convince these guys. In the end, my patience impressed these people, and the return on investment made everyone happy.  Shut up.  More importantly, the benefits and benefits these investments have brought to the Chinese Empire have left everyone speechless.  In addition, for the rich, or in other words, taxes are no longer based on the head of the shop.  Instead, taxes are collected based on the value of the goods.  The tax revenue of the Chinese Empire has achieved rapid growth in a completely soaring manner.  Although many people have great complaints about this newspaper, they are not ordinary small businessmen and hawkers, but those from aristocratic families or wealthy businessmen.  But the problem is that after collecting the prescribed taxes, no officials will cause trouble to them, nor will they need to be ordered to plunder by the government in times of war or emergencies.  Gradually, the opposition from wealthy businessmen also weakened.  But now, the information that Du Ruhui just handed to me made me surprisingly angry.  The content written above is very simple and concise.  On June 17th, Hanzhong was hit by a heavy rain. The prefect ordered dozens of merchants from Hanzhong County to donate 50,000 yuan for disaster relief, which was suspected.  " Very simple and concise words, but they make me feel angry and incomprehensible.  Previously, I had strictly ordered all counties and counties not to impose any additional taxes on the people except for taxes expressly levied by the court.  Unexpectedly, the prefect of Hanzhong County actually came to do such a thing, causing the businessmen in the county to lose their help. Moreover, it was an order, such a means, and such an approach. It was the same as those government officials in later generations who required companies to come out to put up large floats and lanterns.  Come celebrate the New Year with different approaches but the same purpose.  The better part is doubt.  Suspicion means that it is very possible that this person is not only forcing businessmen to donate for disaster relief, but is even suspected of corruption.  Although Hanzhong County is not a wealthy county, it is definitely not far behind. What's more, it is located between Guanzhong and Bashu and is an important place for trade. Moreover, Hanzhong's tax revenue is on par with the counties in Guanzhong.  .  In addition, the disaster reduction and relief system in Hanzhong County is not much different from that in Guanzhong. However, Hanzhong County was hit by the heavy rain in mid-June, but it was not serious. The local disaster relief and relief system alone could handle it.  But I really didn¡¯t expect that something like this would happen at this time.  Two days later, more detailed information was passed to the palace and placed on my desk.  " It has been confirmed that the prefect Yu Wenjin did order the merchants to donate, and the amount was not 50,000 guan, but 57,000 guan. In addition, during the disaster relief, the prefect Yu Wenjin did publicize the enthusiasm of the merchants  Regarding donations. However, according to the audit results, less than 25,000 guan was spent on disaster relief and relief. "There were officials who went missing."  Questions were raised with the prefect, but this official failed to provide adequate disaster relief and later had a violent conflict with his superior and was imprisoned for wounding someone. It was this official who reported the clues to the prosecutor's office.  After more than ten days of covert reconnaissance, we got the previous information." Du Ruhui told the ins and outs of this matter with a stern face.  "Is this official's fault a fault?" I frowned and asked.  Du Ruhui nodded.  "It's true." I took a deep breath and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Okay, you go down first. In addition, Fang Qing, please start preparing the candidate to replace the prefect of Hanzhong County. In addition, you will conduct a strict investigation on the officials of Hanzhong County.  How many people know about this? Also, all the staff of the Hanzhong County ICAC who are responsible for official corruption have also resigned. In addition, the main person in charge of the Hanzhong County ICAC will be prosecuted for dereliction of duty. " "Your Majesty, is this the way to deal with it?  Too harsh?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be stunned.  I didn¡¯t look at the entrance hall, but looked at the big tree outside the house that had almost lost all its leaves.  "It is now the end of August. Nearly two and a half months have passed since mid-June. However, neither I nor the court have received any news about the incident that occurred in Hanzhong County."  My eyes fell on the important ministers in the room. Their expressions were still very calm, but the awe-inspiring look in their eyes made everyone lower their heads.  "Two and a half months is enough for more than thirty round trips from Chang'an to Hanzhong County, but I don't know what happened in Hanzhong. Do you think that if there was no report from this Hanzhong County official, we would have to wait until someone  One day, when I went to Hanzhong for a private visit, I happened to hear the rumors about this matter that were circulated privately by the people in Hanzhong. Now I want to play the role of a wise and powerful Chinese prince who makes decisions for the people again? " "Your Majesty, please calm down" Don't wait for me to say more.  When he went down, all the ministers bowed down in the hall with a look of shame on their faces.  "Calm down? How do you want me to calm down?" Seeing their performance, I was originally very calm and even?A fire suddenly arose in the cold heart.  "What does the Independent Commission Against Corruption do? They specialize in supervising whether officials are derelict in their duties and whether they are corrupt. And such a big thing happened in Hanzhong County. Those people in the Independent Commission Against Corruption are all blind and deaf. Even what happened close at hand  Can't you see or hear the big things? " "What's the use of such a person, and what's the use of the Independent Commission Against Corruption that I worked so hard to build? " Continuously shouting loudly seems to be the anger in my heart.  After I vented my anger and went out, I looked at the frightened civil and military ministers in the hall, and I sat back on the couch with some disappointment.
