Chapter 318 West and all things (1)

Yang Yichuan, Xiao Muxue and Yang Ruxu stayed here for a long time, chatted for a while, and then put a few people back as soon as possible. I was really tired along the way. Looking at the time spent, thinking about the long journey, Yang Yichuan's mother still felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law.

"Go back, go back, you've all been cleaned up. You just need to clean up a little when you go back. I'll ask Xiao Miao to bring a few people to help you."

"Also, Yichuan, this year is almost over, and Muxue and Ru Xu have no movement yet. You have to work hard. I still want to hold my grandson earlier, and of course my granddaughter is also very good."

"Mother, this is not in a hurry."

"No hurry, why don't you worry? I'm all an old woman."

"Mother, look at what you said, you are still young. When you stand with us, others will think you are our sister. Moreover, I have told you before that we are not suitable for having children at our age."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go back early to rest."

Yang Yichuan left the palace and continued to ride the car and went back. Yan Yuzhang and his wife went back home in carriages. It has been several months since they left home, and it is time to go home.

After Yang Yichuan returned to the mansion, fortunately he could drive in, otherwise, if he didn't have a place to put him in the mansion, it would be very embarrassing.

After returning to the mansion, the mansion was indeed cleaned frequently and was very clean.

Yang Yichuan asked people to clean up, and at night, he would have a good sleep. The next day he would accompany Xiao Muxue and Yang Ruxu back to their respective homes and meet their two father-in-laws.

In addition to this matter, Yang Yichuan also went to Li Ru, took out the matter of Xihecheng, and talked about it. Who knew that Li Ru had already sorted out in the car? Yang Yichuan looked around and found that there was nothing missing. This indeed reduced a large part of the workload.

Next is the highlight. Yang Yichuan and Li Ru went to report on Xihecheng, not just private reports, but in front of all court officials. Yang Yichuan is going to court again, and Yang Yichuan doesn't know where to stand. Moreover, he went to court early, fortunately Yang Yichuan slept early.

When he came to the morning court, Yang Yichuan was arranged behind his two brothers, so there was no problem with his position. As for the morning court in this world, it was indeed much better than what Yang Yichuan knew about in ancient times. According to Yang Yichuan, in ancient times, it was a matter of garlic and garlic that could be discussed for a long time, and even for a long time, it was useless.

"Do you have something to report?"

These ministers also said a little, and some people said that Yang Yichuan's actions yesterday were too disturbing the people, and they were also preparing to impeach Yang Yichuan. This person is the Minister of Rites He Wangzhong. As for Yang Yichuan's affairs, it is definitely a trivial matter. He Wangzhong is just looking for trouble without any trouble.

"Ichichuan, do you have anything to refute?"

"According to Lord He, these ox, horses and carriages all mean to disturb the people? My car is not fast, and it only needs the people to give way in a short period of time. I wonder if this is considered disturbing the people?"

"Of course, Your Highness also said that you already need the people to give in. This is a symbol of disturbing the people."

"Well, that's right, will the people give way when Lord He is traveling and sitting in a sedan chair? If the people give way, is that considered disturbing the people?"

"How is this the same? How can the sedan chair be as big as what you made?"

"Is the judgment that disturbs the people big? Lord He? This is just a small matter. If Lord He is so idle that he can only pay attention to such things every day, then you might as well resign from his post and go home. What the people really pay attention to is nothing more than the food, rice, oil and salt. Lord He's focus is too biased."

"Yichuan, Lord He is also for your own good. If you have any mistakes, please correct them. Lord He is also a minister in the court. How can you say something about asking Lord He to resign and go home?" After Yang Yichuan finished speaking, Yang Yize next to him, who was Yang Yichuan's elder brother, immediately taught Yang Yichuan.

"Brother said, I did do this. In order to stop disturbing the people in the future, those who are officials should not go out to the streets. Whether they are sitting in a sedan chair or walking, they will always disturb the people."

Yang Yichuan's heart also broke out in a quarrel, and he couldn't help but say a few more words. It was also because this He Wangzhong really made Yang Yichuan a little angry. Just such a matter, He Wangzhong still had to sue or something, which made Yang Yichuan unhappy for you.

"Yichuan, enough. Seeing that you are doing well in Xihecheng, I didn't expect to contradict Lord He as soon as I returned to the capital and punish you for five days first. Let's forget about this matter, Yichuan, let's talk about Xihecheng."

Yang Yichuan also stood up and said, "Yes, Father."

"Xihecheng has done a lot this year, so I'll talk about it slowly. Let's talk about farming first. Potatoes and sweet potatoes have been promoted in Xihecheng, and the people's planting area is required to be about a quarter of the total arable land. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are not taxed this year, while the remaining arable land is taxed as usual. The harvest this year is very good. After paying the tax, the people also have enough food to spend next year."

"Secondly, in terms of commercial taxation, there are many taxes, and most of them are placed in the bank treasury of Xihe City. The bank treasury of Xihe City is almost full, and if the four granaries are counted, they can already fill two granaries. Once a disaster occurs or the people of Beiyuan are invaded, there will be enough food and silver in the city to deal with it."

"Secondly, in terms of military affairs, after discussing with Lord Li, I sent a team to various cities in Xihe Prefecture to train the city guards. At first, I found results, but I also discovered many problems hidden in other cities in Xihe Prefecture."

"Discover a problem? What's the problem?"

"In some cities, officials do not act and get very close to local wealthy businessmen, and often go to places that consume a lot of money. In other places, the city guards have become private soldiers of local wealthy people. However, when they discover these problems, they are already ready to return to Beijing, and there may be turmoil when they deal with them. Because, after discussing with Lord Li, they decided to return to Beijing to report to their father, and wait for the next year to send officials to investigate and clear, and then clear the officialdom and local wealthy businessmen who are unkind and violate the law. By the way, they will arrange the officials who have been taken over directly and take office directly."

"Well, you handled it well. These issues should be investigated carefully. This matter is accurate. At that time, I will send officials to investigate. Once it is found out, I will never be ruthless and then let the new official take office."

"What else is there, let's continue talking about it. I have a joint memorial between General He Chu and General Lin Tu, saying it is a major matter for the musket and musket battalion. Do you have anything to add to?"
