Capital

The tide of national reform has been promoted, and the land has been divided into farms to build commercial taxes.

Although he encountered great resistance, he could not shake Zhu Youzhen in the slightest.

In order to let the people in the north solve the problem of food and clothing as soon as possible, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, unfortunately said that he tried his best.

More than 3 million taels of silver were allocated to the south of the Yangtze River, and grain was transported to the north through the canal in large ships to relieve the people.

I also exchanged a lot of high-yield crop seeds in the system mall.

Because they are systematically manufactured, these crops are not only highly yielding, but also mature in just two months.

In other words, two months later, the people of northern Daming will be able to be self-reliant.

In a short period of time, Zhu Youzhen consumed 30 million taels of silver.

This is absolutely impossible to do on Emperor Chongzhen, the predecessor of Zhu Youzhen.

At the richest time, the Ming treasury would not exceed five million taels of silver, let alone more than thirty million taels.

However, 30 million is still bearable for Zhu Youzhen.

In Beijing, he copied 70 million taels of silver.

Later, Qinglong copied more than 60 million taels of silver from the Eight Great Yellow Merchants and other Jin merchants.

Now because some wealthy businessmen and squires oppose the reform, all their homes have been raided, and Zhu Youzhen has made a fortune again.

Although because of the summoning of soldiers and horses, the exchange of firearms, the establishment of firearms research and development factories, the release of food for disaster relief, the repayment of military salaries, etc., a total of about 50 million taels were consumed.

But he still has more than 40 million taels of silver in the system warehouse, and these 40 million do not include the construction of the Ming Navy.

Zhu Youzhen estimated that the construction of the Ming Navy would cost about 10 million taels.

Zhu Youzhen seems to have seen the brilliant future of the Ming Dynasty, and he is naturally in a good mood.

Finally, with some free time, he went to Inshou Palace alone to see the poor princess.

Because Zhu Youzhen handed over the Royal Chamber of Commerce to the princess, the princess was also very busy during this time.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce not only has many shops in Beijing, but also a number of large hotels.

Of course, Yichun Building does not belong to the Royal Chamber of Commerce, it belongs to the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory.

Yichun Building, the place of Fengyue, is not only responsible for the salaries and expenses of the three major intelligence agencies.

At present, it has contributed nearly one million taels of silver to the national treasury.

After the people of the whole country have solved the problem of food and clothing, Yichun buildings will bloom everywhere.

At that time, its contribution to the Ming Dynasty would not be less than the agricultural tax.

Because most of the staff in Yichun Building are family members of repeat offenders, they do not need to be paid.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce operates a wide variety of products, including grains and oils, sea salt, tea, textiles and more.

If it is managed properly, the annual income of the Royal Chamber of Commerce will not be less than 10 million taels of silver.

Because most of them are monopoly industries, Haiyan alone has huge income.

The princess was looking down at the account book, and Wang Chengen was watching the things outside, and she didn't need to manage them all.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old palace maid was waiting for her, the little girl looked very pretty, although her skin was a little dark, but it did not affect her to become a great beauty in the future.

Seeing the emperor come in, the little palace maid was stunned for a moment, she had just entered the palace and didn't know the emperor.

However, out of politeness, I still gave Zhu Youjian a blessing, and then went to make tea for Zhu Youjian.

Hearing the footsteps, the princess raised her pretty face, and when she saw that it was her father, that delicate pretty face immediately bloomed with a bright smile.

got up and hugged Zhu Youzhen's arm and pulled him to the Taishi chair and sat down.

"Father, how can you have time to come and see your sons, sit down!"

Zhu Youzhen touched the princess's head and laughed:

"I heard that you have been working hard lately, my father has come to see you, don't exhaust my little baby, why don't you hand over the Royal Chamber of Commerce to someone else for the time being?"

"Don't, the sons are bored to death, finally there is something to do, rest assured, the sons will definitely run the Royal Chamber of Commerce well."

Zhu Youzhen lovingly pinched the princess's pretty face and smiled:

"Okay, since Wei Jiao is willing, of course my father will not refuse you, but you also have to pay attention to rest."

"Wow, it turned out that the emperor arrived, and Xiaowen kowtowed to the emperor."

The little palace maid next to her only reacted from the shock at this time, and it was actually the emperor who came.

Usually the county officials have never seen it, but today they actually saw the emperor with their own eyes, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to the little palace maid:

"No courtesy, I just came, I look like I have done farm work in the countryside."

Without waiting for the little palace maid to speak, the princess smiled and said:

"Father, he was rescued by General Qi at Shanhaiguan, and when he heard that his family was gone, the general gave her to his sons as a maid."

"Oh, I haven't heard of this, so let's do it, she will be your sister in the future, just play with you, don't let her do those things that people do."

Hearing that it was an orphan and that Qi Jiguang had sent it from Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt pity.

Seeing that the little girl was not only sensible, but also very cute, she simply accepted her as a daughter, so that the princess also had many relatives.

Xiaowen didn't understand what the emperor meant, but the princess was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Xiaowen:

"Xiaowen is about to thank you, my father has accepted you as a princess."

"Ah...... Probably not."

"Xiaowen, thank you, Your Majesty."

"No, silly boy, you should call your father."

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to pull up the little girl and reminded her casually.

"Yes, thank you, Father."

Xiaowen knelt down again to kowtow to his father, his eyes already soaked with tears.

An ordinary rural girl, but also an orphan.

Xiaowen would never have thought that because of Qi Jiguang's kind gesture, she would become a princess.

Zhu Youzhen touched Xiaowen's head lovingly:

"You will be called Princess Jianwen in the future, study hard with your sister, I hope you can help your sister share some pressure when you grow up."

"Thank you, father, my son will definitely live up to your expectations."

Seeing that Xiaowen was very sensible, Zhu Youzhen showed a satisfied smile, and said to Zhu Weijiao:

"Da Ming has just passed from extreme danger, no matter what you do, you must consider the overall situation, and you can't exploit and oppress the people for the profit of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will go against my original intention of establishing the Royal Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Jiao, who has always been naughty and well-behaved, immediately got up after hearing her father's meaningful words, and raised her right hand:

"Father and emperor rest assured, the sons have deeply experienced the suffering of the people, our Royal Chamber of Commerce has always been beneficial to the people, the price of goods is much lower than the same kind, I Zhu Weijiao swear, the Royal Chamber of Commerce will always serve the people, use it for the people, let the people benefit."

Daming was almost overthrown, his mother and others died tragically, and his brother and brother were nowhere to be found.

Zhu Weijiao vowed to be a good princess who loved the people.

Onishi Barracks

"Report to the general, someone outside the barracks asked to see you, and he specially asked his subordinates to convey that it was an interview with an old man."

In a military camp under the jurisdiction of the Onishi regime, Sun Kewang suddenly received a report from the soldiers, and some people asked to see him.

Sun Kewang was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"How many centaurs?"

"Report to the general, a total of 11 people."

"Bring them to General Ben"

"Yes"
