Nanjing City, Liang Palace.

Early in the morning, Gao Huan came out of the palace and prepared to go to Xuanwu Lake to check out more than 270 yellow books of the Ming Dynasty.

If the thing that gentry and wealthy people in the world want to destroy the most is the Huangcaiku on Xuanwu Lake in the Ming Dynasty.

Because here is the hard work left by Zhu Yuanzhang, a man from the sky, records the number of land in various prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the ownership of the land.

Recorded more than two hundred years ago, what is the use of it now?

It is of course useful because he records specific information about local fields.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruthless man, and the records he created were mostly accurate.

If the land in a county in the early years of Hongwu was 1 million mu, but now there are only 500,000 mu, or even less, then where will the other 500,000 mu go?

In the early years of Hongwu, the world had just experienced wars and the population and land had not been restored. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the land and population have not increased but decreased. Then it must be a collusion between officials and gentry, concealing the land and land, and evading the imperial court to collect taxes.

This set of yellow book can be said to be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of officials and gentry. With the yellow book, officials and gentry dare not act too chaotic.

As for why they dared to do something wrong, it was because of the yellow book system that was eventually corrupted.

Although the data counted by Zhu Yuanzhang is still there, land transactions have been underway for more than 270 years. At first, the yellow book was updated several years, and it was possible to track down the transactions of no land and know how each piece of land from the gentry's family came from.

But later, as the central authority gradually declined, some counties did not submit yellow books for more than ten years, or collected benefits, and recorded some fertile land that was originally cultivated by large households as being abandoned due to disasters, which gradually lost the land on the books.

The Ming Dynasty's national strength was weak, and in the face of this phenomenon, it was not able to organize personnel to re-survey. Moreover, the dynasty had more than 200 years, and the gentry class was strong and it was difficult for poor families to have noble children. Even if they were asked to re-survey, they were still own members of the gentry class, so they would definitely not be able to detect the reason.

However, this qualification is very important to the Liang State. The Ming Dynasty could not re-survey, but Gao Huan had to re-survey. With these information, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the cost of Liang State's implementation of the integrated food collection of officials and gentry.

At this time, Gao Huan was about to turn over the horse, but Yang Yan suddenly ran forward with some excitement, "King, that woman is here again!"

Gao Huan couldn't help but look back at the palace subconsciously, and then said seriously: "Let her go to the public room to wait, don't let the princess see it!"

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I'll do it now."

Gao Huan then returned to the mansion and came to the public room. Soon after, he saw a woman wearing a green skirt, beautiful face and unconventional temperament being led in by Yang Yan.

"I, Liu Rushi, pay homage to the king!"

Gao Huan smiled slightly, "Mrs. Qian doesn't have to be too polite."

Liu Rushi bowed slightly, "The king is responsible for everything he wants and can meet me every day. I will delay the king's military affairs. I only have one thing to ask for, and I hope the king can consider that my husband is old and allows him to go home. I am willing to take it on my behalf!"

Gao Huan smiled and said, "It is said that husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away from each other when the disaster comes. The wife can run for Muzhai Gong and is willing to receive it for her husband. I admire her. My wife, don't worry, Muzhai Gong performed very well in labor reform, and taught people to read and read, learn the booklets I wrote back then, and wrote several comments to me. Muzhai Gong has a deep understanding, and I have no intention of making things difficult for Muzhai Gong. This time, the official sected famous people in Jiangnan. I also asked specifically why I didn't add the name of Muzhai Gong and asked someone to add his name."

Liu Rushi was shocked when he heard the words, "Can the king take the words seriously?"

Gao Huan laughed and said, "How could I deceive you, a woman? Mrs. Qian, don't worry, Mrs. Muzhai should be on the way back now!"

...

Liu Rushi stayed in the Liang Palace for a long time and returned to his house in Nanjing. Sure enough, a servant came to report that Qian Qianyi was almost crossing the river.

Liu Rushi hurriedly went home to clean up, so he went to the wharf outside Nanjing to welcome Qian Qianyi.

At this time, a group of gentry in Nanjing had already been waiting at the wharf.

Soon, a ship docked, and Qian Qianyi, who had a lot of weight, got off the boat.

"Muzhai Gong!" A group of gentry immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Qian Qianyi looked at his comrades and couldn't help but shed turbid tears.

Jiang Yueguang couldn't help but step forward and said, "Mr. Muzhai, we have worked hard this time to convince the king to let you leave the farm."

Qian Qianyi was moved, "Everyone is helping me, I am very grateful!"

Gao Hongtu said: "Mr. Muzhai, I have to prepare a banquet for you. Let's talk about it later!"

"Okay!" Qian Qianyi nodded in emotion.

The group of people came to a restaurant in Nanjing.

The Donglin Party members in Nanjing and those who are close to Donglin gathered together.

Everyone invited the former leader Qian Qianyi and sat in the seat. Jiang Yueguang then raised his glass and said, "We gathered here today, first to welcome Muzhai Gong, secondly to discuss and enter Liang State to discuss the affairs of the government."

Everyone drank for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became warm. Jiang Yueguang said again: "This time, Li Yan and others instigated the king to state-owned salt and iron to compete with the people for profit. Fortunately, the king was wise and willing to listen to the voices of the people. Now the reform is suspended, and we must wait until the seven governments discuss the policy, and then discuss specific reform strategies."

Gao Hongtu said: "The king asked the official to recommend four people, and the judge Jiang Shen recommended four people, Muzhai Gong, Fang Ge Lao, Wu and Jiang Shen. If the four of us enter the government, we will stand four places in Donglin, which will prevent Li Yan and others from making random reforms!"

"Hmph, then Li Yan is just a juren on the North List. What do you know about governing the country?" Fang Fengnian sneered.

Many officials and gentry said that they were deeply convinced that Gao Huan wanted to collect business taxes and spread their taxes to earn acres, and they had already made huge concessions.

Now Liang State still wants to take over the mining and salt industry operations into the vassal state, which is too much.

Jiang Yueguang said: "This time Muzhai, Mr. Fang Ge, and Mr. Gaoge joined the Council, and he should be able to make trouble right!"

Qian Qianyi's face flushed and said hurriedly: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it, I will help you!"

It took everyone half a night to drink this wine before Qian Qianyi was sent back to the mansion.

Liu Rushi took Qian Qianyi off the carriage. Seeing Qian Qianyi slightly drunk, he couldn't help but blame him: "Why did your husband drink like this?"

Liu Rushi helped Qian Qianyi into the room, and Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "I offended the king, and the king resented me. Fortunately, many old friends ran around and rescued me from the farm and recommended me to discuss politics. I was happy!"

Liu Rushi frowned slightly, "I heard from the king that the king was not very angry, and he also praised his husband's letters and personally added his husband's name to the alternative quota for political discussions."

Qian Qianyi's expression changed when he heard the words.

...

The next day, Liang Palace.

Jiang Yueguang stood in front of Gao Huan and bowed, "Master!"

Gao Huan picked up the list and smiled and said, "I have read the list and I am very satisfied! However, Zhou Yanru said that he had to leave two places for Huguang and Jiangxi, so he could only choose two people now."

As he said that, Gao Huan handed him the quota, "Take it back, you can discuss and choose two more!"

When Jiang Yueguang heard the words, he was stunned.
