Several people looked at each other.

They thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would make a summary at the end and then praise and express his merits.

This year is the year of revival.

The courtiers also recognized that the prince supervises the country, is pragmatic and prudent in using state weapons.

Especially after punishing Murong Sheng, he showed even more majesty.

In fact, all the courtiers knew that Murong Sheng might have been left by His Majesty to the Crown Prince to establish his authority.

His Royal Highness is kind and loving to the people, but there is something wrong with him... he has a strange yin and yang attitude.

Just like it is now.

This is what I said at the end.

The two prefectures of Jianghuai and Jianghuai in the Southern Dynasties are known to be developing very well, but they don't actually know to what extent.

Finance, taxation, and people’s livelihood.

These are the core of the Southern Dynasties, and it is impossible for them to detect them.

And His Highness got it!

"Everything I said is true, but it is definitely not nonsense. The fiscal revenue of the two states in the Southern Dynasty this year has been equal to that of the 11th year of Yuanwu."

Hear this.

Xue Qing frowned.

"Isn't this...possible?"

He is the Minister of Household Affairs and knows best.

The war broke out in the 11th year of Yuanwu, but it did not completely affect the country at that time. Even if it did, it would be limited.

After five years of war and rebellion, the Huaihe and Huaihe areas were also devastated.

If the fiscal revenue can equal that of the 11th year of Yuanwu, this will be a huge increase!

"Moreover... this does not increase taxes, and it is not only about people's livelihood, but also about public security, education, commerce and so on... it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming!"

Guan Hongzhao sighed: "It's unbelievable!"

He has detailed account books for the year-end settlement of the Southern Dynasty, which a man in black gave him two days ago.

He was able to freely enter and leave the palace, and he was holding a gold medal given by the emperor. Guan Hongzhao immediately recognized that it was given by his father, because there was a very special word engraved on it, a word that only his father knew.

Guan Hongzhao didn't even see this person's face, he just said that this was the account book of the Southern Dynasty, and then left...

He didn't ask who it was.

It's better not to know some things, and to pretend not to know if you know them.

Lu Zhengyuan was the Minister of Household Affairs in the Southern Dynasties. He was the one who made the detailed account books, but they were in his hands.

what does that mean?

It’s scary to think about it!

But soon he was shocked by this series of accounts.

Guan Hongzhao is not a novice who doesn’t understand anything.

He knows very well that national affairs lie in these seemingly boring accounts, and a lot can be discovered from them.

The two states of Jianghuai and Jianghuai have truly realized their revival, and it only took one year...

At that moment, Guan Hongzhao had an idea in his mind.

"Grandpa Xue, you have a rival."

He said it directly.

Guan Hongzhao is Guan Ning's son, so he should be called Grandpa Xue Qing.

Everyone looked at Xue Qing.

Especially Fei Tian almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This is a bit of a big blow.

Both were ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they were located in one south and one in the north. Why could the Southern Dynasty be like this?

Guan Hongzhao left a word and left directly.

He has written down a lot in his notebook, and he still has to go back and understand it.

"Let's go, it's quite late."

Meng Hong, the Minister of Rites, was very considerate and resolved the embarrassing situation.

"Let's go."

"Hey, I'm so tired!"

Several people reacted and agreed one after another.

Having been an official with Xue Qing for so many years, I always had to take care of my emotions.

"etc."

At this time, Xue Qing directly called out to them.

"Li Chengcheng!"

The right minister of Tobe responded subconsciously.

Rongsu, the left servant, went out with Guan Ning, and he was the only one following Xue Qing.

"Go and get the tax rolls from Jianghuai and Huaizhou in the 11th year of Yuanwu!"

"ah!"

Li Chengcheng didn't know why.

It's so late and His Highness is gone. What are you doing?

"Go quickly!"

"yes!"

As a subordinate, Li Chengcheng had to obey.

"Old Xue, what do you want to do?"

Fei Tian said: "It's so late. It takes three-quarters of an hour to get back from the Ministry of Household Affairs at the fastest. What are you doing looking at the tax rolls?"

"I want to find out the root cause!"

Xue Qing said in a deep voice: "I can recover to this point in just one year. I can't figure it out?"

"Can you guys figure it out?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Master Xue is really stimulated?

"It's not like that. Your Highness didn't say anything?"

"yes!"

"Deceive yourself!"

Xue Qing said: "Although His Highness didn't say anything, he actually said everything."

"The Southern Dynasty was better than the Southern Dynasty in terms of people's livelihood, education, and administration. Can you pretend not to know?"

"When it comes out later, where will your face be?"

Xue Qing said in a low voice: "We have to do deep research and find the root cause, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"

"I hope you guys can help me!"

Xue Qing bowed deeply.

Seeing this scene, everyone was startled. Mr. Xue was serious.

"Old Xue, there is nothing unfair."

Fei Tian said: "Although Lu Zhengyuan is more handsome and talented than you, and he went to the Southern Dynasty and became King Anping, there is one thing he can never compare to you!"

Lu Zhengyuan had an elegant temperament, an upright appearance, and a bit of a libertine. He was in his forties and at the peak of his temperament. When he came to Beijing, he attracted the pursuit of many women.

Xue Qing is indeed incomparable.

In addition, he is also a capable minister, which is exactly what Xue Qing is good at.

Moreover, he was still the King of Anping in the Southern Dynasties and had a distinguished status.

Xue Qing's face turned dark.

"You have seven daughters, he only has one!"

"By the way, you also have a son!"

Fei Tian smiled and said: "No matter what, Lu Zhengyuan can't compare to you!"
