Soon, Yuan Keli was also appointed by Zhu Youxiao as the governor of Denglai.

The fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang allowed Zhu Youxiao to obtain the right to appoint personnel for the first time, and at this time the emperor was very angry and appointed himself as a member of the imperial court, and the Donglin Party had no reason to stop it.

Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, one is a faction of the Donglin Party, the other is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, Zhu Youxiao appointed them as the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Denglai respectively, and the Donglin Party naturally could not oppose it.

The front-line officers have been appointed, but the issue of military spending is still a headache.

Fortunately, the two million taels of arrears in Jiangnan arrived, and Zhu Youxiao hurriedly sent the two million taels of silver directly to Sun Chengzong.

At this time, the military department issued military salaries was still relatively reliable, unlike the military salaries issued by the military department during the Chongzhen period, and the military department withheld three or five percent. In particular, Wang Xiangqian, an old minister, is currently acting as the secretary of the military department, and Wang Xiangqian is old and may not be very capable, but at least he will not withhold his military salary.

When Yuan Keli went to Denglai to take office, Zhu Youxiao took out one million taels of silver from the Daming Royal Bank and handed over all his family funds to Yuan Keli.

As for the deposits absorbed by the banks, they must not be moved, and if there is a problem on the front line, it may lead to a run on the bank and other problems.

Therefore, the funds collected by the Daming Royal Bank, unless it is an emergency, cannot be arbitrarily transferred to the needs of the national finance.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to open and collapse the bank.

After spending 1.4 million taels of silver to subsidize the state finance, Zhu Youxiao had little money in his hands. In terms of national taxation, we still have to wait for the summer harvest and autumn harvest, and there is no money for the time being.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Quansheng sent back the news that the glaze manufacturing factory in Nanzhili had started production, and in the first quarter of the first year of the Apocalypse, 1.2 million taels of silver glass products were sold. In the next period of time, the southern market can be completely opened.

After reading Zhang Quansheng's report, Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Okay, I finally have silver." passed the decree and crowned Zhang Quan to be promoted to 100 households in Jinyi and Wei, so that he could make persistent efforts. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Guang wrote down the will and then conveyed it to the celebrant of ceremonies.

After Zhu Youxiao was happy, he realized that the profiteering stage of glass products is estimated to not last too long, after all, the purchasing power group is limited, and glass products can also be said to be durable goods. As long as it is not broken, it will not be a big problem to use it for twenty or thirty years. When the price goes down the altar, the profit is not so high.

It seems that we still have to look for more open source projects.

So Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Li Jinzhong to send someone to inquire about the development of Cao Jinyu's grain store, and Cao Jinyu quickly reported the recent business situation.

Because he became a red-top businessman, Cao Jinyu had a holy purpose, and the grain business did well in just a few months.

The stores of the grain bank have been laid in large and medium-sized cities in the north, and the capital expenditure is also relatively huge, and the loan of 1.5 million taels of silver from the Daming Royal Bank has been completed.

The biggest expense is to buy grain, but the capital has begun to turnover, mainly Cao Jinyu bought grain, many of which have been transported to the nine border towns and border troops for trading, in three months, the scale has expanded fivefold, and the profit has reached 30,000 taels of silver.

The profit is not very high, mainly because the scale is not large, and at the same time, the period of purchasing grain at low prices has passed, and it is only after this year's summer harvest that a large amount of low-cost grain can be purchased in the north.

Zhu Youxiao immediately wrote two letters to Cao Jinyu, asking Cao Jinyu to go to Liaodong and Denglai, Shandong, to find Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli respectively.

As long as Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli needed to buy grain, all of them were supplied by Cao Jinyu.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youxiao issued another holy decree, the food procurement of the palace, as well as the food consumed by the Son of Heaven's army, were all designated to be supplied by the 'Jimin Grain Company'.

This Jimin grain store is the royal grain store secretly controlled by Zhu Youxiao. On the surface, it was run by Cao Jinyu, and Cao Jinyu's royal background was ostensibly Cao Jinyu's merit in buying horses and being appreciated by the emperor.

The main reason why Zhu Youxiao did not openly operate the grain store was because grain was a bulk trading commodity and was one of the more important business items for businessmen in this era. If the emperor openly interferes in the grain trade, I am afraid that there will be a backlash from the merchant forces, and a group of courtiers will inevitably shout something to compete with the people.

Officials need a large amount of food, first of all, the expenses of the royal family and clansmen. The number of royal relatives is increasing, and the annual expenses are huge. However, the royal family is scattered all over the country, and the current Jimin grain store cannot be completely covered, so for the time being, it is to supply the food needs of the palace and the army of the Son of Heaven.

The other is the Lu rice of the ministers, which is also not large. The number of officials in the Ming Dynasty is pitiful, and the number of officials is also very low, and when the Donglin Party is faced with the country's financial problems, the first thing it proposes is to 'throttle', and reason with the emperor, you have to be frugal or something. But on the 'open source', it is silent to talk about it, and it looks too vulgar to talk about money.

Under such an atmosphere, the places where the Ming Dynasty could throttle were basically saved to the point that they could no longer be saved, and the officials did not rely on that little money to live.

The largest food expenditure of the imperial court was still military, mainly in the border army and Liaodong.

Originally, the border army had military cantonments, but after so many years, most of them were invaded and occupied, and some of them were in disrepair, so that the border troops could not be self-sufficient, and they needed to transport a large amount of grain to the frontier. In Liaodong, because of the rise of wild boar skins, a large number of elite troops are gathered in Liaodong, and a large amount of grain needs to be consumed every year.

With Sun Chengzong's governor Liaodong and Yuan Keli's governor Denglai, the military rations needed by the various armies in Liaodong, as well as the military rations required by the Denglai Naval Division, will all be supplied by the Jimin Grain Bank, which is definitely a big order.

Although Cao Jinyu is doing the military grain transportation business on the nine sides, the scale is not large. The business of military rations was mainly operated by Jin merchants.

The Jimin Grain Bank contracted the supply of military rations to Liaodong, and it had already begun to threaten the interests of doing business. At this time, if an order was forcibly issued to supply the nine-sided military rations by the Jimin Grain Bank, it would cause a backlash from the Jin merchants.

As for the grain business in the south, it is mainly urban commodity grain. In the south, due to the flood of commodity economy, population growth and other factors, the urban population is very large. At present, Jimin Grain Bank is still operating in the northern market, and the southern market is not yet able to get involved.

After Cao Jinyu received the will, he immediately sent people to Liaodong and Denglai to contact Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli to negotiate the supply of military rations.

A month later, Cao Jinyu counted official grain orders, and the official grain demand in the north alone reached 3 million stone every year, and the profit was at least 1 million taels of silver.
