Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether he should be disappointed or happy. This gentry, Kong Yansheng, the largest gentry in Shandong, was so popular with the people.

Coupled with the status of this Kong Yansheng Gongzi, Zhu Youxiao seemed to have felt the key to implementing the integrated food supply of officials and gentry in Shandong East. If this Kong Yansheng Gong took the lead in supporting him, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. But if he did not support him, it would take a lot of effort to move away from this stubborn stone blocking the way.

When Zhu Youxiao returned to his imperial boat, Sun Chengzong, Ma Shiying and Yuan Keli had already arrived at him.

In addition to Sun Chengzong, it was the first time that Zhu Youchao Ma Shiying and Yuan Keli met. These two figures who left a strong mark in the history of the late Ming Dynasty were also a little uneasy after saluting Zhu Youxiao like ordinary people.

"The three of you are tired of carriages along the way. Thank you for your hard work. Wang Chengen, give them seats!"

After Zhu Youxiao said this, he gave Wu Jin a wink. Wu Jin understood and walked over to whisper to his capable confidant. The Dongchang man came out of the cabin and shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, if someone trespasses within ten steps, he will kill him!"

Here, Zhu Youxiao asked Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen to find a seat for themselves, and six kings and ministers gathered around and started a secret conversation.

"You know the purpose of meeting you here. The people in the capital are so irritating. Only when we take advantage of this southern tour, we can talk about the next thing. We have been angry with you before. You can talk about your own ideas first."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he picked up a cup of hot tea and blew the boiling air: "Teacher, come first, start a good start."

Sun Chengzong blew the wind and sand in the northwest for several months, his skin became a little sallow. In addition, he was wearing a blue shirt and cloth, so he looked like an old farmer.

At this time, he stood up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and handed a volume to Wang Chengen:

"Your Majesty, Qin is not as good as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hu and Guang, and there are not many famous gentry and officials, and the good land is mostly concentrated in the hands of rich peasants and elderly families;

This book is the record of the court income of the old ministers based on the fish scale book and yellow book in previous years and on-site inspections on the court;

During the Wanli period, Zhang Jiangling was in charge of the cabinet and implemented it for a period of time. The Wei minister also compared the taxes of that year with the records of the 35th year of Wanli to the seventh year of Tianqi afterwards;

It was found that if taxes are levied based on the taxes being distributed to the acres, the taxes of the imperial court could increase by more than three times compared with the highest record since Wanli, and those who are exempt from taxes can also reach 50% of the total population in Qin."

After all, he was a capable minister and an official who did things in detail. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but affirm Sun Chengzong's words in his heart, and asked again: "Although Guanzhong is poor, there are many wealthy families, and many are related to border troops or in the court. You have to take on a lot of relationships. If you have any difficulties at that time, you can raise them at any time."

"yes!"

Sun Chengzong responded, and Yuan Keli also stood up.

Although Yuan Keli looked full of silver hair, his waist was standing straight. From the calluses at his tiger's mouth, he could tell that he had held a knife and went to the battlefield. He was obviously not a civil servant who only knew how to talk about war on paper.

"I am different from other places. I have also conducted investigations on the gentry in the eastern part of Shandong and found that because Shandong is fond of fame and fortune and is also a hometown of Confucius and Mencius, there are many people who have always won the titles, so most of the fields are concentrated in the hands of these gentry, especially the four families of Confucius, Lin, He and Meng.
