A bunch of old fellows were all silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my uncle and I have only one request from beginning to end."

Yang Xin looked at them.

"Let Your Majesty, or rather, our court, have enough silver to use.

In times of war, we can pay our soldiers enough so that they can kill the enemy without distraction to serve Your Majesty, and in times of famine, we can give money and food to the victims, so that they will not starve all over the wilderness, so that those desperate hungry people choose to rebel.

That's as simple as that.

But in fact?

The money and food of the imperial court were never sufficient.

And the root cause is very clear to you, and you also know how to change it, but none of you dare, or you are not willing to do it at all, so don't blame us for thinking of other ways, if you can make the imperial court income reach the amount of the late Northern Song Dynasty, my uncle and I will definitely not toss again. That's not too much, right? The current territory of the Ming Dynasty is much larger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the population is also much larger, so it is not too much to reach the annual income of the Northern Song Dynasty, right?

Let's take the estimated figure of 80 million at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty has always had 770 texts.

80 million is currently nearly 50 million taels.

You can add up the income of the imperial court to this amount, and my uncle and I will not copy it from now on. ”

He said.

Of course, his comparison is not appropriate.

But even if the current income of the Ming Dynasty is completely converted into the standard of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is actually only about half of the income of the Northern Song Dynasty.

25 million stone grain is the largest, and the Northern Song Dynasty money is equivalent to 30 million yuan, and Akashi is much larger than Song Shi, but there are still 4 million wheat in these grains, and the Northern Song Dynasty wheat is dozens of dollars a bucket. The rest is 8 million taels even if the customs and other miscellaneous taxes are added, which is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the final income of the Ming Dynasty is still half of that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In terms of copper coins, the annual income of 80 million yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty is equivalent to nearly 50 million taels at this time, even if the Northern Song Dynasty has always been 707, and the Ming Dynasty at this time because of a large number of cannons, the copper coins have reached 1,200 for 1 tael of silver, and the Ming Dynasty is converted into silver at the current average grain price in various places, and the final sum is actually 25 million taels.

Or half.

No matter how you calculate it, the income of the Ming Dynasty is half of that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The area is much larger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, the population is much larger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, the grain yield per mu exceeds that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the final tax revenue is equivalent to half of that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

He also made himself collapse.

I have to say that the Ming Dynasty is also very strange.

But even if it reaches the number of the Northern Song Dynasty, these old guys don't dare to take it!

That is equivalent to doubling the current base, just like Yang Xin said, it is really necessary for the gentry to pay the grain as an errand, and then all the hidden fields are cleared, and even the silver and the silver of the slaves and maids of each family are also handed over......

Is that worth it?

Who of those top families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang doesn't have thousands of slaves?

This year alone, you have to pay a thousand taels, not to mention the gentry who pay the grain as an errand boy!

"If you can't do it, then my uncle and I won't stop, we can't let the court run out of money and eventually lead to the collapse of the army at the touch of a button, and the victims of disasters in various places will swarm, so we can only take out a fat pig from time to time to slaughter. They have the courage to resist even if they come, Yang has other skills that are not easy to say, that is, he has a strong ability to kill, I know very well what you want to say, don't you just want to say that you are forcing the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry to resist with arms?

Then let them be.

My reinforcement army will not go to North Korea until this case is concluded, if they dare to make trouble, then I will take the reinforcement army to the south of the Yangtze River, where there are still 10,000 loyal and brave soldiers, Zhaoyi City and Fengyang Tunken District can gather 100,000 troops at any time, and I can also transfer troops from Guizhou if needed.

I'm the best at killing people, and killing Jiangnan people can also solve the problem.

I just feel that the militia district in Zhaoyi City is not enough, and it is better to make the whole Susong and even Jiahuhang become such a militia district. ”

Yang Xin said arrogantly.

"Hejian Hou misunderstood, it's just a case, how can it be so serious."

Gu Bingqian said with an embarrassed face.

"Seriously
