As soon as the annual leave of the first month ended, at the court meeting, Zhao put forward the idea of choosing a teacher for Zhu Wenkui, but Zhu Yunwen rejected it.

"Wen Kui is stubborn, I will order the queen to discipline him strictly, and then choose a good teacher to teach after he has settled his mind in the future."

It is impossible for Zhu Yunwen to let his children receive traditional Confucianism education in the future, and there is no need for examples, it can be summarized in one sentence, none of the famous emperors in history were taught by traditional Confucianism.

Confucianism is just a tool used by the ruling class to fool the people, and the scholar class still wants to use it to fool the king.

"The commercial tax has only begun to be formally collected this year, and the income tax cannot be estimated for the time being, and the cabinet has reviewed the expenditure of the imperial court this year, and the deficit is about seven million taels."

Zhu Yunwen held a notebook and looked down at the full hall of Gong Gong.

"The main major expenditure is to expand the Fujian and Zhejiang water divisions, Nanjing to Henan, Beijing to build roads, the cabinet hopes to build one less road, wait for the end of the year to collect the tax and silver, and then next year."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen smiled, clicked Xia Yuanji's name, and asked.

"Doesn't the money stay in the treasury and wait for the cubs? If Qing is not willing to eat grain, I have a solution, I asked Uncle Liao to take out 10 million taels from the treasury of the imperial merchant mansion and lend it to the household department, how about the household department pay the profit? ”

The treasury borrows from the merchant treasury? The imperial court paid profits to merchants?

That's what the emperor could come up with!

Xia Yuanji's heart was as disgusting as eating a fly, the loan bank was engaged in construction, and when the household department was liquidated at the end of the year, there would be an additional expenditure, and if this extra amount of expenditure, the country's money would go into the pockets of the clan's relatives, and he would not want to say anything, so he could only say it head-on.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the household still has some savings for the cost of road repair, and it can be sustained."

Hongwu has not had much money saved by the state tax in the past 30 years, but last year it opened an extra 10 million taels, and this year it will open a few million more.

Xia Yuanji's constipated expression fell into Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and the latter was amused.

The ancients managed money, only knew how to throttle, and never thought about open source until they had to, and always controlled how much was on the plate in this small circle, and never thought about how much follow-up returns could be exchanged for the initial investment.

"I asked the Fifth Military Government to send the whole country to suppress bandits, and on the passage from Nanjing to Kaifeng, Beijing, Fujian and Zhejiang, the household department can cooperate with the local political envoys to set up road cards, and collect tolls according to the total amount of goods traded, only a few million taels, and it will be recovered in two or three years at most."

The imperial court collects tolls? What's the difference between this and banditry?

Xia Yuanji subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to advise, but saw Zhu Yunwen waving his hand: "This matter is so decided, the specific charter secretary will coordinate with the local government by himself, the next item." ”

Put down the book of the household department.,Follow it up with the military department.。

"Since the change of defense in Liaodong and Gansu, 18,000 veterans have been eliminated, and all the soldiers selected by the military department have been replenished, how should the veterans be placed?"

In the past, veterans in the army were discharged, and the method of the Hongwu Dynasty was to incorporate them into the military and return to their hometowns as military households, and the cabinet itself was also approved in this way, but the book was left in the middle of Zhu Yunwen, and it was not approved, but it was taken to the court meeting.

There are enough military households in the Ming Dynasty, and sooner or later the military registration will be cut and incorporated into the civilian registration, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, where needs to be done is so clear, Zhu Yunwen does not want to solidify the class.

When the imperial court is rich enough to afford the cash and military expenses of the regular army, the military membership system will be abolished, and the local government will directly go to the armed police system or production corps, and the provinces will set the upper limit of the number of soldiers according to the number of military fields, and the rest will be converted to ordinary people.

"The Ministry of War recorded that if there are imperial courts who are willing to return to their hometowns, they will be given grain seeds, and they will be exempted from grain taxes for two years, and each person will be limited to ten acres, and the local governments and counties should strictly audit and register them."

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a lot of unowned fields in the local wasteland, after all, there were only more than 60 million people, and now there were only more than 4 million hectares of land registered by the household department.

But how big is Daming?

The current Ming Dynasty does not include Xinjiang and Tibet, but Liaodong is larger than the Northeast of later generations, Yunnan includes most of half of Myanmar, the land area is more than one million square kilometers than the later generations, and the arable area is basically no difference, and because there is no industrialization and desertification in the northwest, in a sense, the arable area of the Ming Dynasty can be expanded by four to five times, just because the population is insufficient, there is no modern machinery, so there is no ability to reclaim.

Moreover, there is still a large piece of virgin land in Liaodong that can be desolate.

What is the arable area of the Liaodong Plain? At least a few million hectares, Zhu Yunwen remembered that he had read a report before, and the Northeast Plain accounted for more than one-third of the country's grain production in a year, and it was the largest rice bowl to feed our country.

In these years, no one went to cultivate the Liaodong Plain, and the main reason was the war disaster.

There is no Great Wall in Liaodong, it is easy to be attacked by the Tatars, and because it is too big, it is impossible for the imperial court to protect it, and the current household registration in Liaodong is only more than 30,000 households, more than 100,000 Dingkou.

"If you don't want to return to your hometown, you will move to Liaodong as a military household, and the cultivation of land is not restricted, and all of them are incorporated into the military field."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di again: "Fourth uncle, you are familiar with the military affairs in the north, go back to the General Staff Office to draw up a military order for Uncle Ning Wang, Song Sheng, Sheng Yong, and Ping'an, and let the four of them coordinate to control the enemy Ha people; The three Jurchens of Beishan, Savage, and Haixi all moved out and formed into the military households of my Ming Dynasty, scattered in the borders of Monan, Hebei, Shanxi and Liaodong, and those who did not want to be wiped out! ”

Zhu Di calculated in his heart that the four people in the north together had an army of more than 300,000 people, nearly ten times more than the total population of those tribes combined, which was simply a military feat given away for nothing.

In the Liaodong Plain, without the help of others, the tens of thousands of iron horsemen he left for Sheng Yong back then were enough to gallop thousands of miles and wipe out all these barbarians.

"The minister commands."

Let Liaodong stabilize first, as for how to resist the invasion of the Tatars in the future, Zhu Yunwen is still thinking about it, the invasion of nomadic civilization on agricultural civilization has lasted for more than 3,000 years, and no one has the ability to completely solve it, now if it is not for the grassland infighting, Arutai and Mahamu bite each other, Liaodong would not be so calm in recent years.

Tie Arutai to the mutual market, he doesn't dare to destroy the peace of the mutual market now, otherwise, if the mutual market is broken, he doesn't need to do anything with the Ming Dynasty, and after two years, Warat will eat his Tatar department.

After the affairs of the Ministry of War are handled, and then the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Yunwen has always attached great importance to the personnel issue of cadre appointment and dismissal, because he does not have a pair of perspective eyes and can directly see the ability and faction of an official, so in this regard, he has always been handed over to the cabinet to set his own decision, and he does not worry about this leisure and wastes unnecessary energy.

What he wants to do is to control the cabinet, and as long as he controls the cabinet, he will indirectly control the world.

The Ministry of Rites didn't have anything to do, it was nothing more than a few small surrounding countries, Warat and Tatar sent a few tributes, and then they hoped that Daming could pay back a copy, but they were directly rejected by Zhu Yunwen.

It's a fart!

"Tell their envoys, there is no return of courtesy, at most I will write them an edict of praise, it doesn't matter if you don't want to come to pay tribute in the future, my Ming Dynasty does not lack that little thing, and when I want it, I will send someone to get it."

The national custom of politeness and death to save face, Zhu Yunwen plans to dilute it from the bones of the Han people at this time and space, at this point in time, Lao Tzu is polite to you, your mother?

Do you think that if you make an offering every year and send a messenger to kowtow in this Fengtian Temple, Lao Tzu will treat you as a good buddy? Gives you the stinky problem you are used to!

Now it's not a global village, living between this world and the world, either you have the ability to destroy the Ming Dynasty, or you are waiting to accept the assimilation or destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and the debts you owe must be repaid!

The New Year's court meeting lasted for more than two hours, and finally all the to-do items were completed, and the big guys went back to the office to work, only Zhu Di was left by Zhu Yunwen.

Before the resumption of the sea ban, Taiwan must be brought back!
