Zhu Yunwen was in a bad mood, which directly caused the entire imperial city to seem to be covered by thick clouds for several days.

Especially after the ceremony of sacrificing Confucius, Zhu Yunwen was in the harem, and this face never smiled.

Anger is anger, grievance is grievance, but Zhu Yunwen still passed on the message, asked the household department to pay money, and added a month's salary to the Beijing officials, Zhu Yunwen couldn't let outsiders know that he was angry.

Tie Xuan has been here once, and the new army has also been training for more than a year and a half, and this National Day, more than 10,000 of the most top-notch people have been selected to participate in the National Day military parade, which is also Zhu Yunwen's plan to show off his eyes to a few princes who have entered Beijing, and show off his muscles.

After the parade is over, part of the new army will be drawn to the nine sides, and the troops of Liaodong and Gansu will be withdrawn first.

In this process, the older ones in the army will be eliminated, and the military department will recruit new recruits throughout the country one after another, and the age red line will continue to decrease, and the current top grid line is 40, and the plan will gradually be lowered to 35 years old in five years, but this is a supplement involving the source of soldiers, and the so-called good men should not be soldiers.

Only those proletarians who have suffered disasters and have no property are willing to join the army, or some tenants of landlords' families and servants of families have escaped, and they choose to join the army only when they have no way out.

In the current Ming army system, the annual salary of the Southwest Mountain Army and the Minzhejiang Water Division is the highest, which is 20 taels of silver, followed by 10 taels in Jiubian, Jingying, Liaodong, Gansu, and Yunnan, and Mo Nanwei and Shandong Wei do not have to pay because they have military land to replace food and salary, even so, the annual expenditure of the Ming army accounts for nearly 8 million taels, reaching nearly a quarter of the treasury revenue.

Taking Hongwu's 30 years of household revenue as an example, the Ming Dynasty's in-kind tax accounted for more than eighty percent of the treasury revenue, about 36 million stones of grain, more than 600,000 horses of cloth, tea, salt, mercury, cinnabar, and a number of other things.

In the first year of Jianwen, the income of the household department, because of the opening of salt markets in many coastal areas, the tax and silver were only about 4.6 million taels, plus the trade income of the Liaodong border city, the Liaodong Weaving Bureau, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the tax income of the silver was still only about 10 million taels.

The total revenue of the national treasury is 38,900,000 taels when converted into silver coins, and the proportion is still only less than 30%.

Therefore, in terms of military expenditure, the Hongwu Dynasty generally used grain instead of silver, and transferred grain reserves from the south of the Yangtze River to Liaodong and Guangxi by water, and only the garrisons in Gansu and Guanxi Qiwei issued real silver or treasure money.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the Ming treasure banknotes were stopped and banned from circulation, and the private treasure banknotes were recovered by the local governments, and one or two denominations of the treasure banknotes were exchanged for half of the two patterns of silver or one stone of grain.

The main reason is that the quality of paper banknotes is too poor in these years, the counterfeiting is simple, and it is too easy to cause inflation, in fact, after Yongle, the purchasing power of Daming treasure banknotes is not even one-fifth of the Hongwu period, and the common people do not recognize this thing.

Since all military expenditures are replaced by grain, where are the non-governmental peasant households willing to enlist in the army, and it is not much safer to dig food in the field than on the battlefield, so how to increase the cash income of the state treasury has become the top priority at present.

Selling the imperial property and setting up the imperial merchant is the first step of Zhu Yunwen, every year the imperial property produces millions of stone grain, plus the gifts sent by the feudal kings in various places every festival, he Zhu Yunwen's internal money does not use so much money at all, Taizu is used to saving during his lifetime, have you ever seen the emperor who sometimes gets busy, and a few steamed buns and a stack of pickles can be dealt with?

Zhu Yuanzhang is such a master, so as soon as Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the family foundation is very thick, and there is currently a woman in the harem, and Zhu Wenkui is a child, Zhu Yunwen himself is not a poor and luxurious person, except for the rich table during the New Year's holidays, it is said that the entire forty or fifty dishes will be the sky, and on weekdays, it is eight dishes, two soups and two desserts, and the eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Bureau tastes more dishes every day than Zhu Yunwen.

What do you want so much money for an emperor who is an emperor? Although Zhu Yunwen has not made a specific accounting, he expects that he still has thirty or fifty million taels in his internal money, and sometimes Zhu Yunwen will think very badly about whether those predecessors who have crossed into Chongzhen will be very envious of themselves so rich.

Sell the imperial property and get a chamber of commerce with the money, if it weren't for Zhu Yunwen who wanted to collect money, if he wanted to make money, he wouldn't give seventy percent of the profit to his clan relatives, with the imperial property, those vassal kings took the money, and it was just right to do business honestly and enjoy the blessings, don't always worry about supporting the army and being an independent king.

As for why Zhu Yunwen still wants to keep Sancheng, it is for the sake of his children in the future.

No matter how bad he is in the future, he should not be on Zhu Wenkui's "biological" son, and when he has a few children, except for a prince, what else to do, he can't seal the domain, so he has to leave some inheritance.

Sometimes thinking about it, Zhu Yunwen also feels that he is too unfair like this, a few children and a good guy have become emperors, and the others can only be rich men, and this bowl of water is too slanted.

But there is no way, the long-term stability of the country sometimes requires a ruthless snack, he calmed his own affairs with a bowl of water today, and the people of the world will suffer in the future.

When the imperial merchants are sorted out in the future, Zhu Yunwen will not be polite to these clan relatives who should collect taxes, even including his own thirty percent, Zhu Yunwen will also take the lead in paying taxes, and the use of this cash is to go around the treasury and go directly to the General Logistics Department to keep it for military expenses.

As for encouraging the circulation of capital, we have to wait, the sea ban must be opened, the grasslands must be leveled, and the external enemy will not be dealt with, and it will not play much of a stimulating role by relying only on the circulation of those daily commodities among the domestic people.

Although the Song Dynasty did not fight well, but it was a good hand to do business, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong Province of the maritime trade developed, trade throughout Southeast Asia, that is a ship of real money, to put it mildly, the Song Dynasty a year to the gold tribute silver, silk is enough for the Ming Dynasty now a year of real silver tax!

300,000 taels of silver, 300,000 horses of silk, and 3 million taels of silver!

Don't laugh at the Tartars, in the matter of land cession and compensation, the Song Dynasty almost lost the backbone of our Han people. It can only be said that the Tartars are more generous, and those who commit the Qing Dynasty will pay even if they are far away.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming to cheer up the national self-esteem of the Han people, if it weren't for Zhu Di's Yongle year, all the countries came to the dynasty, and really let Mongolia and Jurchen take turns to be the king and hegemon in our land of Shenzhou, from the Southern Song Dynasty to the later generations, the nearly 1,000 years of hard work, the glory mark in the bones of the Han people is estimated to be almost wiped out.

The fourth day of the first month of the second year of Jianwen, National Day.

Zhu Yunwen got up early in the morning on this day, and even changed into his favorite gown, and then went to Fengtian Hall to be congratulated, today's military parade, in addition to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Lu, Zhu Lu, Zhu Bai, and Zhu Hu have all arrived.

Wu Xun of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Beijing, as well as the three pavilions, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, and the left and right attendants of the six Shangshu were all here to watch the ceremony at today's military parade.

"The ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After the ministers paid their respects, Zhu Yunwen sat down, "Let's be flat." ”

Shuangxi stood up, held the roster and began to roll call them one by one, and after the accounting was correct, he said to Zhu Yunwen, "Your Majesty, it's all here." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and got up, "Move." ”

The first big military parade of the Jianwen Dynasty, the Ming National Defense Army, which was pinned on by Zhu Yunwen, finally stepped on the stage of history.
