Chapter five hundred and eleven: a letter from home

At the same time, in the imperial study room.

Zhang Fuling stood up and saluted the old emperor, his face feeling calm.

The more this looks, the more confident the old emperor has.

"Quick, let me see when it's done."

Zhang Fuling put an envelope into the mouth of the old emperor and then spoke.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, the rules are naturally established. Please check it out."

The old emperor didn't think much about it. After all, Zhang Fuling was such an upright person. He knew very well, so he quickly opened the envelope, pulled out the letter paper and shook it off. There were only four words on the letter paper.

Looking at these four words, the old emperor's face was quite complicated, angry, surprised, puzzled, and other emotions continued to expand, but Zhang Fuling still stood up so humbly.

It could be felt that the old emperor was suppressing his anger, putting down the piece of paper, and looking at Zhang Fuling.

"What is the solution to the treatment of inaction?"

Seeing that the old emperor was not angry, Zhang Fuling looked up at the old emperor and bowed to the old emperor in a regular manner. Then he quickly said:

"I have always believed that Your Majesty is a wise ruler. If it were an ordinary person, it would be absolutely anger to pass on the four words like this, but Your Majesty is not willing to listen to me, which really touched me."

The old emperor's fingers trembled. Zhang Fuling is not a person who can flatter him. He always goes straightforward. No matter who the other party is, as long as he gets to grab the braid, I'm sorry to turn against him.

This is really scary today, and something must be wrong.

"Sit down and say!"

Zhang Fuling pondered for a moment, oralized the plan that Zhou Heng said, and of course he also added his understanding.

"I think this matter is feasible. After all, there are several prepared response methods later, and those who need guidance have been selected. After that, as long as someone leads it, the promotion matter will not be difficult to solve. However, these things naturally cannot be written on paper, so the charter only has four words - to govern by doing nothing."

The old emperor understood it now. Thinking about their mysterious appearance, they were obviously afraid that this matter would be leaked, so the overall plan would be really disrupted.

This is not a quarrel in the court or impeachment of a censor. If there is any difference in this matter, then it will be comparable to a promotion in the future.

The old emperor looked at Zhang Fuling in front of him. It was obvious that he must have volunteered today. Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo would never put themselves in danger, and Zhang Fuling must have recommended himself.

This matter was proposed by itself, and the Ministry of Revenue also put forward an opinion. If this matter can be done, the Ministry of Revenue will naturally not push back and forth.

"Since you've ordered it, then go and do it. Don't make it public for the time being, but the sowing season 2 should still be expanded as much as possible, at least you can breed more."

Zhang Fuling nodded, and the old emperor said that it was the key point.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is the most critical. Liu Renli has ordered people to open up land and find thousands of acres of slopes to prepare for large-scale planting. Moreover, these slopes are relatively concentrated and easier to manage. Now I am just worried that someone will steal the area after all, and there will always be times when I can't take care of it."

The old emperor nodded. He had just thought of this. Many people would be jealous of such output. A hundred acres of land can be found to be guarded, but this thousand acres cannot be guarded.

"Don't worry about this. The three camps sent a team of people to guard the guards. If someone commits a crime of stealing, he will be punished once or twice to kill this wind."

Zhang Fuling quickly thanked him, "Your Majesty is still very careful, I will never imagine it."

The old emperor glanced at Zhang Fuling several times. He originally thought that Zhang Fuling was a very perverted person, but he didn't expect that he would learn so sloppy with Zhou Heng and others. He thought of everything, and he was waiting for him to say it, but it still sounded very comfortable.

"You have to worry about this. I think there is a surplus of yields of these 100 acres as seeds, right?"

Zhang Fuling nodded, "Yes, the seeds required for a thousand acres are less than half of the yield. Liu Renli suggested that half of these corn and potatoes be distributed to farmers participating in the planting, and the other half be sold to Beishan. In this way, there will be prices on the market, which is better than to compare later."

The old emperor became interested when he heard this. This means that corn and potatoes must be priced, and this level can determine the subsequent planting.

"Do you have to do something like Taohuazui?"

Zhang Fuling shook his head. They had a long argument last night.

"I thought the price should be higher at that time, so many people naturally sought to plant it, but Zhou Yuanzong said something, which made me realize suddenly.

He said that the corn and gold potatoes are cheap, so that many people can afford to eat and grow them, and they have to be cheaper than wheat, which will be more conducive to promotion. After all, the yield of these two crops is there. If the land tax is introduced in the future, it can be settled by this, which will make everyone willing to plant it."

The old emperor stopped. He didn't expect that Zhou Heng would think so long and indeed. If this thing is higher than wheat, although it started to grow in crowds, subsequent promotion and management would be difficult. Once the land tax was launched, it would save a lot of money on food and grass.

"It's so good, so let's follow what you discussed. I won't interfere. However, Tongzhou's planting next year will be well promoted, and I can't do anything if I can't do it!"

Zhang Fuling naturally understood the old emperor's implication. There is no reward for doing this well. If he doesn't do it well, he will take the blame. He has already expected such a result, so he was not surprised.

"I'm going to leave!"

The emperor waved his hand and didn't say much. Zhang Fuling turned around and left.

Fang Jizhong changed a cup of tea in front of the old emperor, and he picked it up and blew the foam on it.

"If Lu Shangshu personally arranges, there will be no fewer people asking for information. These people can watch, but they cannot throw away a seed, otherwise he will only ask."

Fang Jizhong said yes, and when he was about to leave, he seemed to have something to say when he saw the old emperor, he stopped and walked quickly.

"What else did your Majesty think of?"

The old emperor looked up at Fang Jizhong with a scrutiny in his eyes.

"The factory guards can find out whether there is any news coming back from Fujian. You know that I am not referring to official news."

Fang Jizhong quickly bowed and took a step closer to the old emperor, with hesitation on his face.

"It is said that after receiving the imperial edict, a fast horse came out of Fujian. Although he had transferred several post stations and changed into different outfits, the man still went back to the capital."

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Jizhong. He was not surprised at all about such news. After all, he had already known what these people looked like on weekdays, but he didn't want anyone to make trouble for this incident.

"Oh? I've returned to Beijing, it seems that I haven't gone directly to any one?"

Fang Jizhong nodded, "Yes, the sender went directly to a silk shop in the capital. The village was not sure what it had to do with the people in the court. However, this morning, the old housekeeper of the Wen family received a food box from Miaoyuelou, with a letter in it."

"What is written in the letter?"

Fang Jizhong quickly knelt down. At this moment, he was really embarrassed and kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

"Please punish your Majesty. The letter is just a sentence to greet the family. No matter whether it is reading it alone or hiding it vertically, it is also something that the old slave is puzzled. If he abandoned such a big Zhou Zhang, he would just pass on a letter to his family..."

The old emperor waved his hand, "Get up, why bother with such a big deal? Of course, he used the secret method, and then continued."

"After that, the person sent by Lao Nu saw that Wen Shangshu read the letter and burned it. Then he ordered the old housekeeper to stare at Beishan, as if he wanted to find out what Beishan was going to do and whether there was any secret method inside. The words said that someone had already mixed into Beishan."

The old emperor nodded, then took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and snorted coldly with disdain.
