Chapter 27.

Xie Jin said: “Then I’ll ask you, today’s world, the yellow book in the register of people geometry?”

“In the fourteenth year of the Hongwu reign, the population on the Yellow Book was nine million and four hundred thousand households. And since the fourteenth year of the Hongwu period to date, the population on record has grown to twelve million three hundred and eleven thousand households.”

Xie Jin: “……”

Zhu Di at this time with his hands behind his back to get up, he has some feeling that this Yang Shiqi is not simple, get up the seat with his hands behind his back and paced for a few steps after saying, “Is this all?”

Yang Shiqi said, “I have compared the number on the books from the 14th year of Hongwu with the number in the first year of my Yongle, and found that there is a huge problem with the household register.”

“But there’s no harm in saying it.”

“That’s a drop in the north and a rise in the south, with the population north of the Huai River dropping by three hundred and seventy thousand households, while the population south of the Huai River has grown tremendously.”

These were obviously details that many people hadn’t noticed, and Zhu frowned, “What about this?”

“This is a huge concern for the court. Your Majesty, once the registered population in the north continues to decline like this, it will inevitably trigger the collapse of horse politics, and the population and supplies of the military cantons in the north will have huge problems, and in the long run, after a hundred years …… once the foreigners in the desert take advantage of the situation to rise, how can the court check it.”

“……”

A needle could be heard in the hall, and even Zhu Di held his breath.

Zhu Di said, “How can I get a solution?”

“Strengthening the Beiping Row and widening the North-South Canal. Promoting exchanges and migrating people’s households to the Beiping Row may be put on hold.”

Strengthening Beijing City ……

This is obviously the same as Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao’s conspiracy to set the capital in Beijing, only Yang Shiqi has not been so big as to set the capital directly, but only hope to strengthen the system of the two capitals.

Of course, with Yang Shiqi’s status, the strategy he could adopt could only be so, did he still dare to drive the emperor to Beijing?

At this time, Zhu Di’s expression became serious as he took a step towards Yang Shiqi.

All of them looked at Zhu.

Yang Shiqi was a bit terrified, “Your Majesty, this is just my delusion, please Your Majesty …….”

Zhu Di arrived in front of him, but all of a sudden held him up and said, “This is the words of planning for the country also, what does Master Yao think?”

Yao Guangxiao calmly stepped forward and said in a composed manner, “This person will be able to prosper the country.”

Yang Shiqi looked up at Yao Guangxiao in dismay.

Of course he is clear about the weight of this old monk who usually does not contact with the hundred officials, this person almost never praises others in the court, of course, will not arbitrarily reprimand others, and because of this, it has become the humerus of Zhu Di’s side.

Yancey didn’t know how to react for a moment.

Zhu Di, however, laughed loudly and said, “Master Yao said so, then …… Yang Qing is indeed a thousand mile horse, haha ……”

Zhu Di was full of red light, couldn’t help but say, “In this way, that Guo De Gan is really my Bole ah.”

Yang Shiqi was excited and amazed at this time.

Zhu Di said, “Is Yang Qing familiar with Guo De Gan?”

When these words came out, Yang Shiqi immediately understood something, could it be that a person named Guo Degan recommended him?

But he has never met this Guo Degan, why would he recommend him?

So Yang Shiqi’s heart unlimited gratitude up, to know, he would have been obscure, if there is no chance, may be this life, a glance can see the head.

For the readers, this kind of people who can selflessly recommend themselves, is tantamount to giving themselves the opportunity to realize their ambitions, it is not too much to say that it is a regenerative parent.

Yang Shiqi said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know Guo Degan.”

Zhu Di still laughing: “Is it? You do not know him, but he recognized you, said that you are a national scholar, today I this test, really Guo De Gan said is not false, this Guo De Gan …… is really very set.”

Xie Jin was at the side, his heart mixed feelings.

Zhu Di then added: “The world has such a young man, it is really jealous, but it is a pity ah …… son when the son is like Guo De Gan also.”

Zhu Gaoxu: “……”

Immediately afterward, Zhu Di looked at Yang Shiqi: “Are you still in charge of the Crown Prince’s Attendant Lectures at the Hanlin Academy lately?”

Yang Shiqi had some difficulty in speaking, but still said, “I have recently been entrusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to teach the scriptures for Zhang Anshi.”

Once Zhu Di heard Zhang Anshi, he couldn’t help but say, “How is this kid, has he grown?”

Yancey: “……”

“Say something.”

Yancey: “……”

Seeing Yang Shiqi’s silence, Zhu Di was on fire: “Why don’t you say anything?”

Yang Shiqi said, “I am not allowed to say anything.”

This means: don’t ask, don’t ask ……

Zhu Di instantly understood what was going on, so he burst into a rage and said, “It seems that kid, indeed, is rotten to the core.”

Yancey: “……”

Zhu Di sighed: “Hey …… this is a relative ah, the crown prince for people and indecisive, I hundred years later, with the weakness of the crown prince, like this person …… will not not be filled with the dynasty, I do not know how many woes to breed. ”

Yancey wanted to say something.

But it turns out that comforting people doesn’t seem to be something you’re good at.

At this time, King Han Zhu Gaoxu came into the spirit, with a look on his face that said: ‘Come, come, come, everyone look to me, I will announce a thing’.

“Father, don’t be angry, there’s still my son.”

Zhu Di but coldly said, “You are not good, you side of the vassal has a few virtuous, thanks to you grow so big, not as good as a Guo De Gan.”

Zhu Gaoxu: “……”

…………

Yancey didn’t get promoted.

But he thought it was getting close.

As a Hanlin, he knew that the size of the official position was not important, but the important thing was to be able to get the attention of the emperor.

And now by the grace of that benefactor Guo Degan, he not only got great attention, but also received unanimous praise from the emperor, even including that Yao Guangxiao, who was called the black-robed chancellor.

This means that …… a road of prosperity may have to appear under his feet, and in the future, the green clouds will fly up to the sky.

But he felt in his heart, if there is an opportunity, must go to visit that Guo Enkong, Guo Enkong so selfless recommendation, really let a person grateful.

But right now, he has a grave to visit …… No, he has to go to class.

When they arrived at the ‘graveyard’, they saw Zhang Anshi leading Deng Jian and Zhang San, who had happily set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, with an ‘iron pot’ set up on the table, and a small stove underneath the pot.

Zhang Anshi was eating ‘hot pot’ beautifully.

While directing the fumbling Zhang San to add water and ingredients to the pot, he glanced over and saw Yang Shiqi coming and said with gusto, “Has Master Yang eaten yet?”

Yancey: “……”

“Didn’t eat that couldn’t be better, hit the sidewalk together.”

Yang Shiqi had never seen anyone take a pot to the table, so he said, “Mr. Zhang, a gentleman is far from a cook.”

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s delicious, you’ll know it when you taste it later.”

This side Zhang San is cursing up: “Gongzi, this pot is not ah, this is burning red, later this pot will not rot ah, Gongzi, such a broken pot ……”

Yang Shiqi’s eyes suddenly widened as he bellowed, “Shut up.”

Zhang San looked at Yang Shiqi in surprise.

Yang Shiqi said coldly as if in frost, “I forbid you to scold the pot like this.”

Zhang San was anxious: “I scolded the pot but not you.”

Yang Shiqi calmed down a little and also felt that he had lost his mind a little.

“This is supposed to be a broken pot.” Zhang San felt that he had lost face.

In this Zhang family, I, Zhang San, am one person, ten thousand people, except for the Gongzi, I ga ga messy kill.

Yang Shiqi’s heart is an unknown and nameless karma fire: “In short, just can’t curse the pot, you curse again!”

“Okay, okay.” Zhang Anshi mediated, “Don’t clamor because of a pot, we need to make peace, and peace breeds wealth.”

The word “harmony” is acceptable to Yang Shiqi, but he can not understand how this harmony has been transferred to the head of the production of wealth.

Hey …… mistakenly entered the thief s den ah.
