The two people in the carriage fell into a long silence, and Zhu Youzhen took a breath and said, "I know you can't listen to what I say now, but what do you think about what I discussed with you a few days ago?" ”

Zhu Yousong was a little depressed, and asked weakly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "It's our way to make money!" Even if you're not interested in history as a liberal arts student, you should have something to add, right? ”

Zhu Yousong frowned and asked, "What is the way to get money?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "It's the eunuch party!" ”

Zhu Yousong half-squinted his eyes and asked, "You care so much about the silver?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened and he said loudly: "So some silver?" How big a heart do you have, I don't want to let go of even a penny now, of course I care! ”

Zhu Yousong said: "You have been dormant in the Xinwang Mansion for three years, and you haven't come up with any way to make money?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said: "I think a lot about developing industry and developing business, but without start-up capital, what can I do?" I've even taken out the money for my grave repair now, and it's not because I don't have any money! ”

"The money for the grave?" Zhu Yousong glanced at Zhu Youzhen and asked in surprise, "How much money do you have to repair the grave?" You took out all the money to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, if an emperor can be forced to embezzle the money he used to build a mausoleum, then this emperor can indeed be. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

What was the first thing most emperors in history did when they ascended the throne? It's the repair of the Emperor's Mausoleum! An emperor has been repairing the imperial mausoleum since he ascended the throne, and after the completion of the general process, he will continue to repair it, and generally repair it until he dies, of course, there are accidents, such as Zhu Youzhen's father, his time as the emperor is too short, and the foundation of the imperial mausoleum has not been completed, and he died...... This is also sad enough.

However, although Zhu Youzhen is young, he is an emperor after all, and it is also a necessary procedure to ascend the throne and repair the imperial mausoleum, but Zhu Youzhen is indeed short of money now, and his eyes are red, and the battlefield of Liaodong is like a bottomless pit, and all the silver in the treasury will not last for a few years, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is not only one Liaodong, and all kinds of expenses are like flowing water.

Zhu Youzhen has a lot of plans in his head, but what can he do without money? Although an emperor is the co-lord of the world, the money in the treasury and the money in the treasury are separated, and even in many cases, if the treasury cannot make ends meet, the wise emperor will take out the money in the inner treasury to subsidize some, and the emperor who picks the door is not to mention taking his own money out, it is very likely to use the money in the treasury to support his own private treasury.

Zhu Yousong lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and asked, "How much money can you save by repairing the imperial tomb?" ”

Zhu Youzhen stretched out four fingers and said, "Four hundred thousand taels." ”

"Holy!" Zhu Yousong's fingers holding the cigarette shook, and his voice became sharp: "How much do you say?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said again: "400,000 taels of silver." ”

Zhu Yousong asked dumbfounded: "You can spend 400,000 taels of silver to build a tomb?" ”

Zhu Youzhen explained: "Do you think this is all cash silver? All these expenses are converted, and now the Ming Dynasty is so short of silver, do you think this is the Qing Dynasty in the future? ”

Zhu Yousong asked: "When my father left Beijing to join the domain, he took two or three hundred thousand taels, why did he provoke the anger of the heavens?" ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and said: "One Fu King is 300,000 taels, Da Ming is not only one Fu King!" How many tens of thousands of dollars are raised by the Ming Dynasty's financial expenditures now, and the fat pigs of the clan who only take money and do nothing? Let me tell you the truth today, now the tax of the Ming Dynasty is only three million taels of silver a year! It makes me want to reopen the mine tax commissioner. ”

Zhu Yousong was puzzled: "Open, the most problematic thing in Daming is that the tax is too low, what is the thirty tax and what is it, isn't this a joke?" And those privileged classes who don't have to pay taxes, all of them are taxed. ”

Zhu Youzhen wanted to cry without tears and said: "Don't you want to?" But if we really do this, this Ming will really be over. ”

Zhu Yousong said: "The mining tax supervisor of that year provoked the opposition of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, because it touched their interests, and if they believed in the book, they would lose their judgment of the real history if they read too many history books, not to mention, didn't you also explain that the history was repaired by the group of Donglin Party members who defected to the enemy and treasoned the country?" If you look at their appearance, collecting taxes from them will kill them, but collecting taxes from the common people, I think they will definitely not object to any of them. “

Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know, sometimes I really think that I am not Chongzhen, but Li Zicheng, and all those officials who sit back and enjoy their achievements will be divided into five horses!" ”

Zhu Yousong glanced at him and said, "Come on, don't complain." I have always wondered, why did you save Yang Lian of the Donglin Party? ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "I only look at people, it is of great use to save him, he is a small official but he is not small, when you are done with this battle, I want him to take over the anti-corruption work." ”

Zhu Yousong nodded and said, "Don't say anything else at that time, it's necessary to raid the house!" ”

Zhu Yousong rolled his eyes as he spoke, and said: "Actually, sometimes it's okay for us to change our way of thinking, don't those officials pay taxes?" Well, let's do it ourselves, anyway, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, don't rush to get things like military schools and academies, let's start the enterprise first! ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned and asked, "What enterprise?" ”

Zhu Yousong smiled: "Do you know what a state-owned enterprise is?" Later generations also slowly adjusted the tax structure through transformation, and the big taxpayers before the reform were state-owned enterprises! ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Is this method you said feasible?" ”

Zhu Yousong said: "It's feasible, it's feasible, since these industrial and commercial owners don't pay taxes, let's do industry and commerce ourselves, and then you can find a way to monopolize it and take back all the important resources!" It is still very necessary to develop a monopoly in the early stage, and then talk about free competition when it grows stronger. Don't forget, the current Ming Dynasty is centralized, you have to reflect the advantages of this political system, how many years have you been shouting for years to concentrate on doing big things? ”

Zhu Youzhen touched his chin and nodded, Zhu Yousong asked, "Hey, I said that I had this idea, you didn't think about it?" What have you been thinking about in the palace for three years? ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "The direction is wrong, I thought about a lot of things, when I dreamed, the army of the Ming Dynasty drove to the Americas." ”

Zhu Yousong glanced at him and said, "It's beautiful to think about, you've only been daydreaming for three years, right?" As soon as you ascend the throne and find that you have no money, you can't do anything, right? ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, but it was difficult to refute, so he had to nod silently.

Zhu Yousong said again: "And the 'Americas' you just said, what are you talking about America?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned and said: "It's North America, but it's still the territory of the Indians, don't you know?" ”

Zhu Yousong's double eyelids were about to turn into three eyelids, he patted Zhu Youzhen's arm and said: "We are also a traverser, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and for those things and nouns that have not yet been circulated, you must be cautious before saying them!" ”

Zhu Youzhen asked, "What's wrong?" Where did I say it wrong? ”

Zhu Yousong said: "Let's not talk about this America, according to later generations, our continent should be called Asia, right?" The full name of this Asia is Asia Minor, which first originated from that base language, which is not Chinese anyway, which means "the place where the sun rises". What do you think of the implication? ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know why, and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhu Yousong said: "Why are you so unenlightened? It's all from outside, and now that we're here, we're going to have to rename it. ”

The corner of Zhu Youzhen's eyes twitched and said, "Is this necessary?" ”

Zhu Yousong coughed lightly and said: "Yes, it's really too much, and the A.D. era of later generations, every time I see that BC, I have a headache, China doesn't have its own era?" Do you have to use someone else's? A.D. is the West to commemorate that Jesus, let's not join in this fun, now this era name commemorates or something to change, we must show that our Chinese civilization has a long history! Push forward the first year of the calendar and get it to the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. ”

Zhu Youzhen stared at Zhu Yousong with a pair of eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Why didn't I think of it?" ”

Zhu Yousong also said to himself: "Let's not call it Asia, let's call it Shenzhou, what's the name?" Anyway, who has the strongest cultural output ability now, and which one has a market, let's fight for those people from this aspect first. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "China in later generations will always be sprayed by this person, isn't it because the center of the world has shifted?" Now that the two of us are here, let her stay in this Divine Continent at the center of this world, what kind of America, eh, let's call it Yin Yizhou......"
