The income of the Longwu Imperial Court, Jiangxi has just recovered, and it is in the front line of resisting the Qing Dynasty, unlike the imperial court, which is not bad; Hubei is facing greater pressure, not only to help refugees, but also to operate the north of the country, the east of the two defense lines, and still need Hunan to help, the imperial court can not get a copper plate, Hunan thanks to the trade with Guangnan, a large number of Hunan embroidery, tea, transported over, exchanged for a lot of silver, but in addition to supporting Hubei, dredging the Ling Canal, but also in Dongting Lake to build a ship, can transport over the tax is really limited.

After calculation, the finances of the Longwu Imperial Court are only Guangdong Province, and Wang Yan, as the governor of Liangguang, naturally has a clear idea of how much money the imperial court has.

In fact, according to the rules, after leaving some local taxes, all must be handed over to the household department first, and if there is anything to be done in the locality, then the governor will pay the capital, and after the approval of the imperial court, the household department will allocate silver.

In this way, it can achieve a strong central and weak locality, and avoid the formation of separation, but since the fall of the Hongguang court, the central court of the Ming Dynasty, the control of the local government, has been basically lost, the provincial governor strength has become bigger, and many of the original rules do not exist.

Su Guansheng naturally knew that Wang Yan was very clear about the situation of the household department, and when he saw that Wang Yan would not let him leave, he had to sit down from the new one, "Yes, there are still some silver taels in the treasury, but that is for emergency purposes, Shiheng can't let the household department, not even a copper coin~"

"Presumably, the cabinet also understands the reason why I want to fight Zhangzhou, if I don't pull out this nail, if something happens in the world, the imperial court wants to respond, and it will be pinned down by Zhangzhou, so that the army can't get out." Wang Yan saw Su Guansheng sitting down and explained: "At the end of last year, I recruited 50,000 soldiers, and now the equipment is not yet complete, and the cabinet department does not allocate some silver, so the soldiers can't take sticks to attack the Qing army's fortified city." ”

Su Guansheng was silent for a moment, "Shi Heng also said, the fight against Zhangzhou is worried about changes in the world, in this way, maybe after fighting Zhangzhou, you have to deal with Shuzhong, then you will need more money, and the little silver in the treasury will be even more insufficient, Shiheng will spend it now, and when you really want to use the silver, do you let the pavilion change?" ”

Wang Yan looked at Su Guansheng blowing his beard and glaring, and he also knew his difficulties, there was no silver in the household, it was indeed terrible, it can be said that Su Guansheng was worried every day, for fear that something would happen suddenly, let him take the silver but couldn't take it out, and finally broke the big thing.

"I know what Elder Ge thinks, but if the soldiers are not well equipped, it will inevitably affect their combat strength, and then at that time, I am afraid that the amount of money spent will be even more. In this case, I thought that I should strengthen myself first, and I could find a way to get it, but if I really want to fight with the Qing soldiers, and then I want to replenish the equipment, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

Su Guansheng felt helpless for a while, "One hundred thousand taels, it can't be more." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the production cost of the three-eyed gun was about seven yuan per rod, two yuan for a long axe, three yuan for a saber, three to five taels for a bird gun, and the budget for Xu Guangqi's fine armor was sixteen taels.

With the production capacity of the craftsmen near Guangjing at this time, this 100,000 taels of silver is enough to toss for a month, Wang Yan immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for being old." ”

Su Guansheng said angrily: "When you open your mouth, you will ask for 30% of the silver deposit in the household department and 300,000 taels of silver in the treasury, but this pavilion is deducted little by little, and for this reason, the group of clans almost blocked the door to scold this pavilion." His Majesty summoned me and asked if I could allocate 50,000 taels to the clan, and I persuaded me to dispel my thoughts.

But I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you Wang Shiheng would be cheaper. ”

The reform of the clan system, since the agreement was reached with the two envoys of Tang and Lu, the Longwu court began to implement it, and it has been two or three months since the reduction of the amount of money issued to the clan.

"Are the people of the clan making a lot of trouble?"

Su Guansheng complained: "The clans that escaped from all over the country, there are more than 3,000 people registered, from the prince to the lieutenant of Fengguo, a total of eight levels, all of them are emperors and nobles, the current situation of the imperial court, the clans with the title of county king and above, can still make do with the supply, but the clans below the general can only give basic guarantees, but according to the rules of the imperial court, they can't do anything, and they can't plan their livelihoods, the money issued by the imperial court was spent clean at the beginning of the month, and even at the end of the month, even survival problems appeared, one by one they were poor and destitute, and they often petitioned, Frequent troublemakers. ”

The problem of the Ming Dynasty's clans, several major relatives and county kings, is only the top two floors on the gold tower, and there are 200,000 registered during the Chongzhen period, including tens of thousands of generals and hundreds of thousands of lieutenants.

As early as the Jiajing period, the clan's Yulu accounted for thirty percent of the imperial court's taxes, becoming the heaviest burden of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yan straightened up and said: "Now the imperial court gives the clan a month, how much silver. ”

"An stipulates that the lowest level of Fengguo lieutenant will be paid 200 taels a year, and according to the price of rice, the monthly salary will be more than 30 taels, but the household department will only pay 3 taels, and the fifth-level Fengguo general will be converted into 100 taels per month, and only 10 taels will be issued at present." Su Guansheng said: "Except for the prince and the county king, only one percent of the original amount will be issued under the general. But even so, it consumes silver for a month, about 30,000 taels. ”

"So much?" Wang Yan was a little surprised, 30,000 taels of silver was enough to make seven or eight bird guns, or pay more than 20,000 people.

Su Guansheng shook his head, "Shi Heng thinks a lot, but it seems that the clan is forcing them to a dead end." The clan that escaped from the north is a little better, it has been chaotic for so many years before, and they fled to Guangnan, and they have endured all the hardships they can endure, the key is that the clans in Jiangnan and Zhejiang have no worries about food and clothing, but suddenly there is nothing, they are used to the days of delicacies and delicacies, and now they have so much money a month, and a few meals are spent. ”

"This matter, for a long time, is not a way, if the clan makes too much trouble, Your Majesty's face is ugly, if the clan puts pressure on Your Majesty, Your Majesty is afraid that in the end, your Majesty will have to take care of the interests of the clan, I think I will find a way to make the clan self-reliant."

"What Shi Heng said lightly, the ancestral system of the clan is not so flexible~" After Su Guansheng finished speaking, he immediately got up, "There are still some things in this pavilion, Shi Heng can do it himself." ”

In the south of Guangjing City, after Emperor Longwu placed his line in Guangjing, he immediately announced his abdication and returned to the domain, no longer participating in court politics, and was at ease in the middle of the mansion as an idle prince.

Zhu Yulu, as the younger brother of Longwu, was inevitably affected in this reform of the clan, and many indignant clans came to the palace to pay a visit, hoping that he would come forward and say a few words for the clans, but Zhu Yulu politely declined, which made many clans more disappointed, but no one hated him.

In the reform of the imperial court, the prince and the prince issued fifty percent of the salary, and under the county king, only one percent was directly issued, and Zhu Yulu's annual salary was 10,000 stones, and the five achievements were more than 800 taels of silver per month.

This silver could be said to allow him to live a luxurious life, but he received a fortune every month, but he only took five taels for his family's use, and the rest of the silver was piled up directly in the hall.
