Please ask me to be the emperor

Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.

Zhang Shun doesn't have a strong will to begin with. If he is seduced by someone, he will fall for it!

Just when he was immersed in beauty, he didn't know the time, and he had already become anxious to Ma Yingniang and other girls.

On this day, Ma Yingniang was leading Baoqin to play the piano in front of Zhang Shun's door. Wang Jinyi had already arrived in a hurry.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ma Yingniang couldn't help but jumped up and asked quickly.

"Hey, you went to the wrong place!" Wang Jinyi patted his head and said, "I have seen the princess, and General Zhang has sent a letter from Shangzhou. I want to send it to King Shun!"

"Shangzhou? Is there a letter from my brother?" Ma Yingniang's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"Oh, exactly!" Wang Jinyi responded casually when he saw that Ma Yingniang was not an outsider.

"Well, it just so happens that I have something to do with King Shun. Give it to me and I'll take it with you!" Ma Yingniang couldn't help but said seriously.

"Okay then!" Wang Jinyi hesitated for a moment and found that there seemed to be no problem with the letter changing hands to Ma Yingniang, so he quickly handed it to her.

It stands to reason that the harem cannot interfere in politics. It is just a primitive rebel system and there is no such rule at all.

"Let's go, hold Qin!" Ma Yingniang chuckled, now she had an excuse.

Bao Qin stupidly picked up the Gu Qin in front of him, and couldn't help but curled his lips in grievance.

What, playing the piano in front of someone's house early in the morning, besides disturbing people's dreams, what's the use?

It seems that my master is not very smart!

"Hey, who are you? Why did you come in!" Yuanyuan looked in disbelief as she watched Ma Yingniang swaggering in with Baoqin.

"Where's King Shun?" Ma Yingniang wrinkled her nose, looking at the innocent and pretty girl in front of her with a hint of flattery in her expression, and she became wary.

"Oh? Ying Niang, are you here to see Xiang'er? Come in and sit down!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but push the door open when he heard the familiar voice, and he was playing with a walnut-like object in his hand.

"Business!" Ma Yingniang shook the letter in her hand and said angrily.

What to sit in?

Want to see the master and servant show off their power?

Zhang Shun still understands the truth when it comes to business matters.

He smiled, took the letter, tore it open, and saw Zhang Sanbai's handwriting that looked like a dog gnawing at it.

Zhang Shun glanced at it twice, his eyes lit up and said: "Brother, you did a good job and solved one of my most troublesome problems!"

"What's wrong?" Ma Yingniang had nothing to say. Since she was here, she should take something back before leaving.

"Shaanxi is short of food!" Zhang Shun said with a bitter smile, "Although the summer harvest has just passed, there is actually a serious famine everywhere."

"Lu Weiqi told me a few days ago that although Xi'an Prefecture has been under the control of the rebels, the tax revenue is actually estimated to be only five or six hundred thousand dan."

"If the clearing of the farmland is completed, it is estimated that another 360,000 dan can be collected, and the number of acres of the royal palace is also 300,000. If it can be collected truthfully, the total should be about 1.2 million dan."

In fact, this amount is quite a lot. Even if the entire Shaanxi summer tax of the Ming Dynasty was collected in full, it would only be 690,000 shi.

Zhang Shun adopted three policies: physical expropriation, clearing of farmland, and confiscation of royal property, and he collected taxes that were nearly twice the original amount of the Ming Dynasty.

"This military salary is enough!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but continue to explain, "On the one hand, it is still not enough to help the victims, and on the other hand, the prices of salt and cloth have soared, and the supply exceeds demand!"

"According to my estimation, the gap in rice and wheat should be around 300,000 shi, and the gap in cloth should be around 100,000 pieces. If the rebel army wants to expand its army to prepare for war, clean up bandits and rebels, and recruit the Ming Dynasty's border troops, their number will not be small."

"Although Cheng Jia, a Huaiyang merchant, agreed to transport five million shi of grain, due to transportation constraints, importing 1 to 2 million shi per year was actually the limit. Moreover, grain could only be stored in Nanyang, Yuzhou and other places with smooth waterways. "

"Now my uncle has discovered in Shangzhou that elixir water can also be transported by water. God is really helping me!"

When talking about official business, Zhang Shun also talked endlessly.

Who wants to hear this from you?

Since your mouth is so sweet, can't you coax me?

Ma Yingniang pouted, but she didn't want to interrupt Zhang Shun's interest, so she could only agree: "The relationship is good, as long as the brother can help the husband!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Shun laughed a few times with a narrow look on his face, and then asked: "Why don't you come in and take a look? The baby is very cute!"

"No!" Ma Yingniang pouted so much that she could tie up a donkey. Why is this person so annoying!

"Okay, wait a minute!" Zhang Shun comforted her gently, then turned around and went into the room to give Li Xiang and Liu Rushi some instructions.

After a while, he came out again and said, "Okay, let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Ma Yingniang was a little confused.

"Where are you going, you jealous little person?" Zhang Shun scratched her small nose and couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, you've seen it already, haven't you? Really?" Ma Yingniang became angry and wanted to fight Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun relied on his stronger arms to quickly restrain Ma Yingniang, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go, Yuanyuan, let me play with this pocket watch for two days and then return it to you!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, just take it!" Yuanyuan responded helplessly.

Which boy is not passionate, and which girl is not pregnant!

Yuanyuan was young, and she had just had physical contact with him. Her whole heart was focused on him, and she couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.

Not to mention what happened to Zhang Shun and Ma Yingniang, but after Zhang Sanbai arrived in Shangzhou City, he made many inquiries and found out that Longju Village to the east of Shangzhou was a flood-drought dock. Huang Shoucai and others personally led hundreds of cavalry to rush out. Come here.

"What a place!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but praise it as he arrived.

It turns out that there is a mountain peak standing just north of Longju Village. If a camp can be established here, the entire city of Longju Village can be controlled.

Then Zhang Sanbai ordered his soldiers to find local merchants and tax collectors to inquire about water transportation.

It's just that although Zhang Sanbai is much more handsome than Zhang Shun, he still has a cold face. Who dares to talk to him?

After changing several people in a row, an old tax collector, under the coercion and inducement of the rebels, told: "The goods from Xi'an were exchanged for wormwood boats, and then went to Jingjing Pass in Xichuan County, Nanyang, and then changed to small loach boats to the mouth of the small river. Then again from the mouth of the small river. Change the sailboat and enter the Han River. From now on, the goods will go south and north, please do as you please!"

"What do you think?" Zhang Sanbai turned to Huang Shoucai and asked.

"Okay!" Huang Shoucai nodded and said, "I took a closer look just now. The wormwood boats here are no bigger than a five-stone boat, and are even better than an ox cart!"

"If this elixir water is divided into two streams, one goes down the river, and the other goes up the river, connected end to end, five hundred boats can be sailed every day, and 75,000 dan can be transported every month. By the end of the year, 300,000 dan will be lost. So worried!"

"Okay!" Seeing that there was hope of completing the task, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but smile, "But this is the key, there is no room for error."

"For one thing, I want to send the 'King of the World' Lin Lin to lead a group of troops to set up camp in this mountain and control Longju Village."

"Secondly, I plan to reorganize the tax department and use this income to support the army. I wonder what Mr. Huang thinks?"

"This is a taboo thing!" Huang Shoucai was stunned and couldn't help but quickly dissuade him.

Just kidding, you have both soldiers and food, and you still need to charge a fee. I don’t even dare to think about what you want to do in the future!

"My uncle is very afraid of birds!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but sneered after hearing this.

"Chen Changzhen is guarding Guyuan, Xiao Qinhu is guarding Nanyang, and the army, food, wealth and power are all in one body, what can I do?"

"Now that the world is in trouble and King Shun is in trouble, why can't I do it myself?"
