Chapter 9: The Wealthy Inner Library (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Collections)

Zhu Youjian knew that no amount of food and salary could satisfy the insatiable appetite of Liaodong Jiangmen, and the so-called iron-like Ningjin defense line could not prevent Houjin from going south, how could he continue to act as a wronged boss stupidly!

"If it is only to ensure the safety of the Gyeonggi region, then there is no need to spend five million food and salary every year, anyway, they don't dare to fight the Jurchens at all, they will only stick to the city.

I didn't ask them to recover the old land of Liaodong, just to stick to the city, why do they need five million food per year?

In my opinion, three million spirit stones are too much, but I can't rush too much, I have already taken a step back!"

Guo Yunhou said worriedly: "But if Liaodong will make trouble and deliberately let the Golden Demon Clan enter the customs, wouldn't it be a catastrophe?"

Zhu Youzhen said domineeringly: "My Da Ming is still angry, they dare! Who dares to do it, I will punish him for the nine clans!"

And I still don't believe it, they will put a good golden rice bowl and risk the world's disapproval to vote for the Golden Demon Clan!

It's not that I look down on them, they don't have the courage yet, and Houjin can't give Liaodong Jiangmen so many benefits now!"

Zhu Youzhen's words were like a slap in the face, and Guo Yunhou woke up in one fell swoop.

Yes, the Houjin Demon Clan is a poor mountain and bad water, and it has only been rising for ten years, and the total wealth of the whole country is not as much as that of Liaodong Jiangmen, so how much benefit can it give Liaodong Jiangmen?

And even if Daming reduces the two million spirit stones of Liaodong Jiangmen every year, there are still three million in their hands, and today, who can offer a more generous treatment than Daming?

After reducing the food and salary of two million taels, the Liaodong Army is only making a fuss at most, can they still break their iron rice bowl and let Jin enter the customs and knock on Beijing?

And didn't Daming have two capitals? Even if the northern capital was broken, wouldn't there still be Nanjing! It's a big deal that I ran to the south, Zhu Youzhen thought secretly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Guo Yunhou shouted this flattering sentence, but he was a little convinced, and Zhu Youzhen's words undoubtedly convinced him.

Of course, he didn't know what Zhu Youzhen was thinking at this time, otherwise it would definitely be something else.

......

After seeing Guo Yunhou, Zhu Youzhen wanted to know how many spirit stones there could be in the inner library, if there were no spirit stones in the inner library, Zhu Youzhen wanted to hang the southeast branch directly and save so many things.

Zhu Youzhen summoned Wang Chengen and asked, "Companion, I ask you, how much silver do I still have in my internal funds?"

Wang Chengen replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there are still 4 million spirit stones and 300,000 yuan stones in the inner body. ”

"There are so many?" Zhu Youzhen was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the inner money to give him such a big surprise.

There are four million spirit stones, and three hundred thousand yuan stones, all of which are converted into spirit stones, which is almost seven million, which is seven million taels of silver in history.

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, this is actually not much, if it weren't for the first emperor to build the three major halls, at least fifteen million spirit stones would be left inside." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that repairing the three major halls was also the biggest crime of Emperor Tianqi, and some people even compared the repair of the three major halls of Tianqi with the Empress Dowager Cixi's misappropriation of Beiyang military funds to repair the Summer Palace.

Of course, there is another point of the apocalypse that has also been scolded very badly, that is, the matter of the Hakka family, which will not be mentioned here.

However, those of us who know a little bit about the history of the Ming Dynasty know that the purpose of the three major halls of the Apocalypse is definitely not for our own enjoyment.

The so-called three major halls are the Fengtian Palace, the Middle Pole Palace, and the Jianji Palace, which are the palaces used by the emperor to exercise power or hold grand ceremonies.

This means that no matter which emperor is in power, these three major halls must be repaired!

For example, didn't Kang Mazi cultivate during his reign? And the self-proclaimed all-round civil and military emperor didn't cultivate?

Hehe, I think it's not so simple to repair, but a major repair!

It has to be repaired, and if it is not repaired, the officials will be exiled to Ningguta, and the whole family will become a slave to sin!

In other words, the three halls are the symbols of imperial power and the state, and the emperor will repair them.

And the emperor doesn't eat and sleep in it, no matter how good the cultivation is, he can't enjoy it, which has nothing to do with the emperor's personal luxury.

Getting back to the point, Zhu Youzhen asked again: "Big companion, where does the main income of this internal money come from?"

Wang Chengen replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the main source of internal income is the income of the Huangzhuang and the industrial and commercial tax, mine supervision tax, and maritime trade tax in various places, and the annual financial income is about six million spirit stones. ”

"How much income does the internal government have every year?" Zhu Youzhen felt a little incredulous, and said in shock: "If you talk about financial revenue, it is more than the household department!"

The financial revenue of the household department is only four million spirit stones, and it is not even comparable to the internal money, so it is no wonder that the civil officials will boycott the commercial tax, mining tax, and sea trade tax, and shout that the Son of Heaven will compete with the people for profit.

Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the reason why the internal treasury is so abundant is because the old emperor of Wanli has a good way of making money, and the old emperor Bintian left the first emperor with as much as fifteen million taels." ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe, although the history books described Wanli and Tianqi as heinous faint kings, but in terms of collecting wealth for the country, he did throw off Chongzhen for more than ten streets!

Thinking about the history of Chongzhen, his brain was really clipped, and he actually listened to the Donglin Party's foolery and canceled the industrial and commercial tax, mine supervision tax, and sea trade tax that should have been included in the internal payment.

As a result, the country was destroyed due to the failure to pay military spending, which now seems really stupid!

Now I won't follow his old path, hmph, what kind of industrial and commercial tax, mine supervision tax must not only be collected, but also collected ruthlessly! Zhu Youzhen thought viciously.

Next, Zhu Youzhen thought of military power again, no matter who is the emperor, military power must be in his own hands!

"Now that I have just ascended the throne, the factory guard is in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, the Beijing camp is in the hands of Zhang Weixian, and the Jiubian military town is listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement. ”

Zhu Youzhen quickly broke free from the virtual illusion of mastering the court, and he had realized that his greatest advantage was only the name of the Son of Heaven, but his military power was almost none.

Although Wei Zhongxian did not have the intention of plotting to usurp the throne, and Zhang Weixian has always been loyal to the imperial family, the emperor has always been a creature that has never been afraid to speculate on people's hearts with the worst malice, which no one will believe.

There are always people who want to harm me, this is just a joke in later generations, but in the hearts of ancient emperors, this sentence could not be more correct, otherwise how can it explain that so many founding emperors killed a large number of heroes after they ascended the throne?

In addition, the spirit stone is also the most scarce thing for Zhu Youzhen, without the spirit stone, he can't even feed the army, how can he continue to play?

Play with hair!

Zhu Youzhen roared loudly in his heart. I want a spirit stone, a spirit stone! Who dares to stop him, I will let his nine clans go to hell!
