Chapter 126: City Patrol II

Zhu Qizhen turned out a number, all of which were about one million taels.

In the end, Zhu Qizhen overturned, just looking at the balance, it was as much as 32 million taels.

For a while, Zhu Qizhen was stunned.

Zhu Qizhen is not a person who is not familiar with current affairs, and the annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only 278 million stones, plus a few million taels of silver.

These 32 million taels are simply more than the taxes paid by the Ming court in a year.

Zhu Qizhen said: "This ------"

The Empress Dowager said, "This is the number of the inner treasury. ”

"In Taizong's later years, there was emptiness inside and outside, and the inner treasury was only millions of taels of silver, which was caused by Renzong, your father, and the savings of more than ten generations of generations."

Zhu Qizhen flipped through it carefully, and suddenly felt a little pantothenic, this is a general ledger, which records that at the peak of the cabinet during the Yongle period, there were more than 60 million taels

However, Taizong really didn't leave much money to his descendants.

At the time of Renzong's Xuanzong, they were also hovering between tens of millions of taels, and it was only after Xuande and after giving up Annan that a large amount of money was earned, but Xuande was only about fifteen million taels in ten years.

What really made the cabinet skyrocket, but it was the Empress Dowager's Xuande ten years of governance, and now it is now.

Zhu Qizhen was moved in his heart.

This is a special love for a grandmother. Let the Empress Dowager coincide with Zhu Qizhen's grandmother in later generations.

When he was a child, he heard his father talk about his grandmother.

At that time, everyone was living a very hard life, and there was no money left. But after really encountering something, grandma can still come up with hundreds of yuan, all of which are pieced together in a few corners.

Tide your home over the storm.

It's like the current Empress Dowager.

Although the Empress Dowager may have such and such drawbacks, I have to admit that although the military strength of the Ming Dynasty has weakened a lot, the national strength is still on the rise. Or the convalescence period.

And the Empress Dowager has been in power for a period of time, and she has recovered particularly quickly.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have enjoyed the honor of the famous generation.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Niangniang-------" Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to say for a while.

Of course, he knew what that meant.

The Empress Dowager handed over the inner library to Zhu Qizhen, which means handing over the power in the palace.

Wang Zhen has become the actual head of the inner department during this period of time, although Jin Ying can compete with Wang Zhen, but in fact, Wang Zhen can still suppress Jin Ying.

The personnel power is already in Zhu Qizhen's hands.

And if the inner treasury is handed over again, the financial power of the inner court will be in the hands of Zhu Qizhen, and it will not be easy for the empress dowager to balance Zhu Qizhen.

The Empress Dowager naturally knew the stakes, smiled faintly, and said: "My son has grown up, this was originally handed over to you, but you have to remember one thing." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Niangniang, please speak." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The number of the inner treasury is a secret, and it must not be known to the foreign ministers. Even if it's Yu Qian. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sun Er understands. ”

The Empress Dowager said, "Do you really understand? She was a little confused.

Zhu Qizhen said: "A penny is difficult to beat a hero, even if I am a royal employee, I can't do without a reward." As long as I have abundant financial resources, I can bypass the cabinet to do things, but if I don't have money, I can only consult with the cabinet on everything, and then the initiative will be in the hands of the cabinet. ”

"Oh," said the Empress Dowager, "so the inner treasury is abundant, why don't you let the courtiers know?" ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said: "The ministers of the world all think that the royal is the world's, but the world's is not the royal one, the world's floods, droughts and locust plagues are continuous, and the courtiers know that the royal family is rich, so they must first ask the inner treasury in case of trouble." But even if the inner treasury has money, how can it withstand consumption? ”

"And I don't know what the people below are like, who take collecting taxes as cool officials and not collecting taxes as clean officials. I have mountains of gold and silver, and can I withstand such a grind? ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't understand it too well.

Because after he became the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has been figuring out the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

I have to admit that the Ming Dynasty died of complications caused by blight. Finance is the lifeblood of a dynasty. Therefore, the more he understands the Ming system, and then compares it with the reality of the Ming Dynasty, the more he has a new understanding.

Why did Emperor Wanli be greedy for money, many times when he found that the power he controlled was closely related to financial resources.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she sighed, became more satisfied with Zhu Qizhen, and said: "You understand, it's not that my royal family doesn't have kindness, but there is time for this to be solved by the inner library." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sun Er understands that these 32 million taels, Sun Er will never move lightly. ”

"How you use it is your business." The Empress Dowager said: "In the future, you don't have to ask me about the affairs of the DPRK and China, you can take care of it yourself." ”

The Empress Dowager said with a chuckle: "I only care about one thing, that is, your family affairs, you always want me to hug my great-grandson before I go." "When Zhu Qizhen came out of Cining Palace, he still had a dreamy feeling.

Zhu Qizhen really didn't know that the inner court actually had so much money.

32 million taels is enough to do a lot of things.

Zhu Qizhen estimated that there were more than 10 million stone of grain in all the warehouses in Beijing, and a large amount of grain was not stored in Beijing, Huai'an, Nanjing, and many other places.

Plus warehouses in various prefectures.

Most of these warehouses are full.

How full it is.

In the Tumubao Change, Tongzhou may encounter enemies, but Tongzhou has a lot of grain, but some people suggest burning it, but some people propose to pay Jiubian in advance.

It took two years of grain to Jiubian in one breath before the Tongzhou warehouse was moved.

It's just that under the system of Emperor Taizu, the taxes paid by each county were not attributed to the imperial court, but were sent to various places according to the distance of the road, such as the north to the front of the army, the south to Nanjing, and so on.

In this way, the financial resources of the Ming Center are quite limited.

That is, the four million stone grains that were transported to Beijing.

Zhu Qizhen can't think about Daming's financial problems, and he will have a big head when he thinks about it.

It's a mess.

It involves the political system, financial thinking, transportation conditions, the executive power of officials, geographical reasons, etc., which is a series of problems, tangled problems.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do.

He simply didn't think about it.

Face what's in front of you first.

When Zhu Qizhen left the harem, Wang Zhen had already prepared the guard of honor, which could be regarded as a reduced version. However, it is no longer said that there are 3,000 soldiers fighting honor guards before and after, and there are 300 guards of the Qianqing Palace in Zhu Qizhen, and there are no less than one dispatch.

Zhu Qizhen is also used to such a situation.

Zhu Qizhen made a lot of efforts, but there was no one around him when he slept.

In addition, Zhu Qizhen has no less people around him at any time. Even if he secretly went out of the palace, the so-called micro-service private visit, there were no less than a hundred people around him.

These 100 people are still guarding in Zhu Qi Town, and there are more than 1,000 people waiting not far from Zhu Qi Town.

No matter what went wrong on Zhu Qizhen's side, a cloud-piercing arrow would immediately come out to protect it.

This kind of treatment that is more powerful than that of the Jingjie Tiger also made Zhu Qizhen also develop the habit of not running away unless necessary, usually listening to the guards and eunuchs around him.

Facts have proved that the so-called micro-service private interview is probably impossible.

After all, the white dragon fish suit, I am afraid of being played by shrimp.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at it, and the five members of the cabinet were ready.

Zhu Qizhen said to Zhang Fu: "British duke, you go back and rest, Brother Zhang is unfortunate, I am also very sad, I will allow you to take a month off." ”

The British Duke trembled and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After Zhu Qizhen persuaded the British public to retire, he turned over and let the cabinet bigwigs behind him take the car, after all, they were all old. However, Zhu Qizhen also let Yu Qian step forward and walked almost side by side with Zhu Qizhen, and Yu Qian was only half a horse behind Zhu Qizhen.

Both of them had umbrellas around them, and they were both wearing hats. It looks like there's a bit of charlatanism. ，

It seems that the sky is beautiful, and at this time, the heavy rain has stopped slightly for a while.

The first feeling when I left the palace in Zhu Qizhen was the water on the road.

In the palace, I don't know how many open channels and culverts there are, so no matter how heavy the rain is, most places in the palace still can't hold water.

But outside the palace is different.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the street in front of him, and didn't feel that this was a street at all, but that it was a river at all. Although it is somewhat shallow.
