Of course, Zhu Youxiao also understood this truth, so he said to Wei Zhongxian: "After the inner court is streamlined, aren't there still many internal officials and palace maids?" Last time I opened a mirror store, this time I opened a grain and oil store, and put this MSG in the grain and oil store to sell, only this one kind of product, if the market is good, then open branches in various places. ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded and asked, "Holy Lord, it seems that it is a bit wasteful to put only one commodity in the grain and oil store, why don't we also do other business?" It's better to subsidize the inner court. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "No, now while selling monosodium glutamate, you can add vermicelli, and the others can't be sold, otherwise the original grain and oil store may be affected, remember in the future, we only sell our unique things, don't compete with the people for profit." ”

The three ministers nodded secretly, having such a wise and reasonable emperor is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. Ye Xianggao thought of his fellow practitioners, especially Han Yi, who the emperor didn't want him to participate in the tasting at all, and he especially wanted to say to them: "This is the true meaning of not competing with the people, the emperor understands much better than you." ”

After the meal, everyone sat down in the living room to drink tea. Zhu Youxiao said: "I have an idea, I want to discuss it with a few Aiqing first. ”

The three of them listened quietly, and Zhu Youxiao said: "I think so, the establishment of incorruptible silver for officials is different from the last time when officials were added, it is extra." ”

The three of them had different expressions, and Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, the last time I added money to the officials, it is enough for the officials to live." ”

He originally had money in his family, and then the officials of the Ming Dynasty actually had some common filial piety every year, so he lived a very nourishing life, and he did not feel the need to give officials more money.

And Xu Guangqi is different, his family conditions are not good, and he thinks that most of the officials' salaries are a little embarrassed even if they are added by Zhu Youxiao, so he thinks that if he adds what the emperor said about raising incorruptible silver, it is actually a very good way, but he is a little worried about where the money comes from?

Ye Xianggao's family conditions are very good, but he has many disciples, and he also knows that there are many people who really can't support their families with a little money, because the so-called support of the family in the Ming Dynasty is not just for the wife and children to eat, and the relatives of the same clan in the hometown come to take refuge, which must be raised. What official doesn't have a few poor relatives? So he also thinks that if the emperor is rich, this method is good.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what these two were thinking, so he just smiled and said: "Shoufu, I heard that the officials still have some other income, such as the previous fire consumption, the surplus when collecting grain, and what kind of ice and charcoal respect, these are all ready to be canceled, so I have to raise Lianyin." ”

The three of them couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, these bad habits at the bottom are the most difficult to eradicate, and now the emperor wants to stop, I don't know what kind of resistance the officials below will become, besides, who knows if they will really do it?

Ye Xianggao asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, but you want to implement this matter throughout the country?" ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "No, I know that this is difficult, so I want to carry out a top-down change, starting with the Beijing officials." ”

Xu Guangqi asked, "Your Majesty, where does the money come from?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This is going to start with the matter of Japan, I am going to set up a separate account book for all the output of the territories outside the Ming Dynasty, and the income will be classified as Yanglian Yin." ”

The three of them understood what the emperor meant as soon as they heard it, and they wanted to get the officials to agree to attack Japan, which was indeed a solution, but in a barren land like Japan, what could it produce?

Xu Guangqi raised this question. Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile: "The three Aiqing are just afraid that they don't know, Japan has a lot of output that is very profitable, but the Japanese don't know how to use it." ”

"If nothing else, let's just say the same, there is a big fish in Japan, how big is it? A large one weighs seventy or eighty thousand catties, and of course this fish can be eaten, but in addition to eating, it can also be used for many other purposes, such as making candles. ”

Most people in the Ming Dynasty used oil lamps for lighting, and only wealthy families would use candles, so making candles was actually a very lucrative business, and Zhu Youxiao wanted to catch whales, which could be used to make food and candles.

"Even if a fish produces 10,000 catties of wax, think about how much it is? Not to mention that fish and meat can also solve our food shortage problem, not to mention that Japan also produces a lot of silver, copper, and sulfur, none of which is money. ”

These words made the thoughts of the three ministers come alive, and if there is such a good thing, then they can also consider attacking Japan. After all, this is good for the court, for the officials, and for the people.

Zhu Youxiao said: "If tomorrow I announce the matter of raising honest silver, do you think the officials will agree to occupy the Satsuma Domain, or let the Japanese cede other places?" ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, will this seem some, a little ......?"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Shoufu means that I deceive people too much? They are too deceitful to occupy our vassal country, and I am just a tooth for a tooth. ”

At the next day's court meeting, most of the officials already knew that today was going to discuss the issue of whether or not to agree to Japan's request for peace. When you learn from the sages, of course, you must pay attention to benevolence and forgiveness, and since the Japanese have realized their mistakes, they will still chase and fight hard, but they will lose the demeanor of a great country.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Youxiao said: "I have an idea, I want to issue a pension silver to officials above the fourth grade, and the specific method is going to let everyone discuss it, let the clerk read the draft first, and then everyone will express their opinions." ”

So the clerk with a loud voice began to read the manuscript: "The emperor reads that the ministers are hard, but their lives are in dire straits, so he specially distributes honest silver to officials above the fourth grade. The specific rules are as follows. ”

"1. The source of the incorruptible silver: In addition to the original land of the Ming Dynasty, all the output of the newly opened land is recorded in the incorruptible silver, which is distributed twice in the first month of each year and in July."

"2. Recipients: All officials with a fourth grade or above in office, and all officials with a grade seven or above in Beijing, shall be issued with the same amount."

At this time, a coaxing sounded below, which made Yushi angry, and Yushi on duty shouted: "Please be careful of the loss of honor in front of the king." ”

There are only more than 700 officials in the country who are in service with the fourth grade, and there are less than 300 officials with the fourth grade or above in Beijing. The point is that those who participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting now are the recipients of distribution.

If the money is 100,000 yuan, one person is 100 yuan, and even if Japan is poor, can it only produce 100,000 yuan a year? How is that possible, not to mention tens of millions, millions of them will never be able to run away, so how many are there for each person? It's terrifying to think about, how can you do it without talking about it at this time?
