The first thousand one hundred and seventy-two chapters
I have to say that Han Yi wants to play romance, which is really a killer of all men today, because he only knew how to play romance before. He once defined love as a firework in a moment, and it passed, but that moment must be exciting.
But now Han Yi’s understanding of love is eternal.
This is also the difference between Korean art and contemporary men.
Therefore, Xiao Wuyi never complained to Han Yi for a moment because the romance in this moment was better than countless people in the world. How could she experience such romance in Chang'an?
The two had a lot of fun at the ice rink. Soon, Xiao Wuyi understood the trick and had a more enjoyable time. It was not until Li Ji sent someone to urge him that the two of them reluctantly left the ice rink.
When Cheng Yaojin saw Han Yi, he immediately cursed. He had already woken up and fell into Han Yi's hard trick, but he didn't blame Han Yi in his heart. After all, Han Yi was still for his own good.
Han Yi discussed with Li Ji about the opening of the amusement park. The approximate date was decided because a round of security tests would have to be conducted, so it was impossible to make a specific decision.
In fact, this amusement park is also part of the Korean art plan. Don’t underestimate this amusement park. Human wisdom starts with children, because children are the most innocent and full of curiosity about everything. This kind of curiosity drives human progress. When they grow up, their thinking will be fixed, especially in ancient times, when they grow up, they are usually the ones, and it is difficult to change it again.
Han Yi hopes to use the amusement park to give today's children some different enlightenment, and cooperate with his educational plan to slowly change the traditional thinking of the Chinese nation, especially the importance of creation.
After spending two days with Xiao Wuyi at home, Han Yi devoted himself to work again. These two days of holidays are quite luxurious for him this year because he really has a lot to do.
Ministry of Revenue!
"Last year, all the people we sent to some areas of Helong to survey the barren land have returned!"
Han Yi had just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, and Zhang Daxiang told him good news.
"Yeah?"
Han Yixi said.
"Well, this is the survey information they submitted!"
Zhang Daxiang handed Han Yi a piece of information. Of course, this was written by a minor official, and the farmers who surveyed could not write.
The information is very simple, and I can't write any complicated information these days. More than 100,300 acres of land are suitable for planting mulberry trees, and the grain output of these lands is less than half of the average, but more than 30,000 acres of land belong to the unowned wasteland, which can also be said to belong to the imperial court.
Zhang Daxiang said: "With the help of local governments, our people have already planted some mulberry trees on these lands. As for whether they can succeed, they will have fruit in June and July."
Han Yi nodded, put down the information, and said, "If you publish some news in the name of the Ministry of Revenue, you will say that the court openly recruits contractors for the Sangshu. Those who are interested will come to the Ministry of Revenue for specific discussions."
Zhang Daxiang was stunned for a moment and said, "This is too simple!"
"It's simpler to have room for maneuver!" Han Yi said: "After all, the survey is just over, and we haven't talked to those farmers yet. In addition, I don't want to attract too much attention, especially how much farmland you need to convert, remember not to let the air flow out."
"That's true!" Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "The court has always been committed to reclaiming farmland, but we have done the opposite. This will definitely arouse many people's opposition. But these are not confirmed. When the merchants come to the door, what will we say to them."
"Of course it's the intention to cooperate!" Han Yi said: "First of all, how much land they plan to contract, their plans, uses, and how we contract."
Zhang Daxiang said curiously: "What contracting method?"
Han Yi said: "It's very simple. First, sign a contract with the Ministry of Revenue and rent the land to them by leasing."
"But a lot of land is not owned by the court."
"The Ministry of Revenue is just an intermediary. We will sign a contract with the farmers there and ask them to rent the land to the court. Because in terms of the morality of merchants, I guess farmers are unlikely to believe in merchants, and farmers cannot play with merchants. With the court here to guarantee the rights and interests of both parties."
"But if they have any trouble, they have to come to our Ministry of Revenue."
"What is this for the Ministry of Revenue, which manages the world's finances." Han Yi smiled lightly and said: "In addition, in terms of employment, we need to know how many people they plan to hire, whether they will recruit people from the outside, and at the same time listen to their requirements. This is just the first time to contact and will not constitute a substantial result. We will hold a meeting later, let's talk about it in detail."
Zhang Daxiang said: "But what should those farmers who are hired by us do?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "You ask them to ask if they are willing to go to the Sixth Academy of Sages to do things."
Zhang Daxiang was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "I don't think there is any need to ask."
Han Yi smiled and said, "But at the same time, we must negotiate with the farmers over there."
Zhang Daxiang said with a serious expression: "I guess this is more difficult than negotiating with a businessman. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. In other words, the people regard land as the most important thing. Those people in remote areas are different from those near us in Chang'an. At that time, those people were willing to rent out the land because they knew your name as Minister Han, so they were willing to go to your workshop to do things."
Han Yi smiled and said, "But as long as you use the right people and come up with appropriate policies, I believe that none of this is a problem."
Zhang Daxiang said curiously: "Who do you plan to send?"
"Zheng Shanxing!"
Han Yi smiled and said, "He is good at communicating with the people."
"Master Zheng is indeed a good candidate!" Zhang Daxiang nodded, and had no objection to this. Anyway, just don't send him there. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he doesn't like to do these trivial things and said, "What policy should I use?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Those people are definitely not doing well, so of course they are using poverty alleviation policies. This will also give a good explanation to the ministers in the court. We can rely on the labor bill to ensure the people's income and exempt them from taxes. Anyway, the tax is paid by merchants, so I believe this is not a problem." After a pause, he said, "In addition, I plan to rectify the internal situation this year."
"Reorganize the internal situation?"
Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "What does it mean?"
Han Yi said: "You know, our Ministry of Revenue intends to show its strength, so there will definitely be more talents. I hope that everyone in our Ministry of Revenue will not live in a daze, so I have to put some pressure on them. I will send them some books I have published, conduct internal exams at the end of the year, and report to the Ministry of Personnel for promotion. This score is very important."
Zhang Daxiang looked embarrassed and said, "But many officials from the Ministry of Revenue are from major families."
Han Yi asked back: "Don't people from the aristocratic families be smarter? I always thought it was like this."
This sentence made Zhang Daxiang speechless and said, "But go and say this yourself, I won't go."
Han Yi smiled and said, "I don't plan to let you say it either. I'm just asking for your consent. I told them when I was in the meeting."
"Seeking my consent?" Zhang Daxiang said: "If I don't know, I will take the exam, too!"
"Of course not."
"It's okay!"
Just then, one person walked in and said, "Report to Minister Han and Chief Censor Zhongcheng are looking for a visit outside."
Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "What are the Chief Censor here for?"
When the official heard about the Censorate, he was the plague god. No official was willing to deal with the Censorate.
"Hurry and invite him!" Han Yi said and said to Zhang Daxiang again: "Don't panic, I invited him."
As he said that, he also got up and came to the door. In less than a moment, he saw Wei Siqian walking in. Han Yi hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm sorry to bother Wei Zhongcheng to come here."
Wei Siqian smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I have to come to your Ministry of Revenue to pay some money for the inspection."
"Yes, yes, please come inside!"
"please!"
After some greetings, Han Yi said, "That's right. I heard that Wei Zhongcheng would have to go out for inspection in a few days. It happened that I also planned to send people to various prefectures and counties to check the financial situation of each prefecture and county. I saw if they could follow Wei Zhongcheng."
Zhang Daxiang felt confused when he heard it.
Wei Siqian was also puzzled and said, "Why is this? Your Ministry of Revenue often sends people to the prefectures and counties to check. Why do you want to be with our Censorate this time?"
Han Yi sighed and said, "First of all, our Gao Shangshu is still recuperating at home. I have just taken office in the Ministry of Revenue. Mr. Zhang will definitely not be able to leave. Therefore, if we send people out to inspect, we will lack a leader, but this is only second, and the most important thing is because of Wei Zhongcheng."
"Because of me?" Wei Siqian became more and more puzzled the more he heard it.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Everything related to money will always have some tricks. I am not someone who doesn't believe in our Ministry of Revenue, but I am afraid that they will not be able to resist those temptations. Wei Zhongcheng has always been honest and clear-headed. I hope Wei Zhongcheng can help watch a little."
Wei Siqian frowned and said, "This is inappropriate, Minister Han!"
Han Yi smiled and said, "But I think this is very appropriate. Isn't the Censorate just responsible for supervising officials? If you go with Wei Zhongcheng, Wei Zhongcheng can supervise it by the way. Therefore, I think this is also within the scope of the Censorate's responsibilities and is not considered an illegal system."
After saying this, Wei Siqian couldn't help but nodded and said, "You're not unreasonable." He knew that finance was the most likely to have problems. Now the Ministry of Revenue came to him, but there was no reason to refuse, and said, "Okay."
"Thank you very much for Wei Zhongcheng." Han Yi bowed repeatedly.
After seeing off Wei Siqian, Zhang Daxiang immediately said dissatisfied: "Mr. Han, why do you do this? Our Ministry of Revenue has always sent people by itself. Even if I can't go, I can send others. Didn't you explicitly let the Censorate interfere in our Ministry of Revenue?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Now the Ministry of Revenue is short of manpower, and you and I can't leave. Zheng Shanxing has to go and talk about mulberry trees with the people, so he can only send the people below."
"This has happened before!" Zhang Daxiang said.
Han Yi said: "The officials below are not very big, and they can still eat and live in small counties. When they go to those important prefectures and counties, they can't eat and live. However, the Censorate's inspection directly grants his majesty the commander, and the power is very great. If our people go with Wei Siqian, they will check something. Wei Siqian sits aside, no matter who dares not take it out. If they make fake accounts or hide them from reporting, then Wei Siqian will definitely impeach him when he comes back."
Zhang Daxiang's eyes lit up when he heard this and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are not asking the Censorate to interfere in our Ministry of Revenue, but you want to use the power of the Censorate to help us."
Han Yi nodded.
