ps: I am distressed to death when the child cries after the injection, and I can't wait to replace her illness!

Who is Zhu Shangwu, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

I've never worried about the money, and to be honest, this time it's unprecedented.

He just thinks that borrowing money should give benefits, and he hasn't thought about how much the 30% profit is.

You must know that the current tax payment of the Ming Dynasty is only four or five million taels of silver a year, and even in the past ten years, it has reached five million taels.

Even if he can receive a tax of five million taels of silver a year, this amount of silver is not enough for the expenses of the imperial court at all.

Now the household department of the Ming Dynasty is living a life of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, but our Ming Emperor is not very clear.

The officials below couldn't tell Zhu Shangwu about some things, and he himself was not interested in it, so he was kept in the dark.

If he knew that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty was like this, he would not have any intention to seek any breakthroughs in the skills of spring painting.

But he just doesn't know what to do.

Therefore, after listening to Eunuch Xue's reminder, Zhu Shangwu was very disapproving.

Seeing this, Eunuch Xue had no choice but to say bluntly: "Your Majesty, thirty percent of the profit is one and a half million taels of silver, and we will have to pay back six and a half million taels of silver when the time comes." This is not a decimal number, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

Not!

That's how it looks.

Zhu Shangwu showed a look of sudden realization, but in fact, he still didn't understand anything at all, just to avoid losing face, he made such a clear expression after Eunuch Xue finished speaking.

If you want to ask Zhu Shangwu what he can do with a tael of silver, Zhu Shangwu must not know the way.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven, he doesn't need to know such a thing as Lu Dao at all.

At least, this is something he hasn't been exposed to since he was a child.

Therefore. He didn't know how much 1.5 million taels of silver was, and how much purchasing power these silver were.

"One and a half million taels of silver doesn't seem to be a lot, I don't think it's wrong. Could it be that this crown prince can still lie to me? Everyone is a royal family, and they have to be trustworthy when they speak. Or is the price he is offering too high? ”

Zhu Shangwu's thinking was very jumpy, and Eunuch Xue almost didn't keep up.

People told him to think twice, but Zhu Shangwu thought of other places.

To be honest, for the price offered by Zhao Hongyu, Eunuch Xue still thinks it is fair.

It's just a mere three-point profit, and this profit is really not high.

The ministers in the court. More or less there is such a livelihood, and even he, Eunuch Xue, will do this himself.

And as far as Eunuch Xue knows, the usurious livelihood made by those ministers is five cents of profit, and it is calculated as a profit in five days.

And this crown prince from the American continent only received three cents of interest, and borrowed it directly for a year, during which the donkey rolling interest will not be counted, which is already very conscientious.

If the five million taels of silver are put on the interest rate rolling, the interest rate rolls over the usury. In any case, the silver cannot be borrowed.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Xue whispered to Zhu Shangwu who asked him: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, the villain dares to use his head to guarantee the price offered by His Royal Highness the crown prince." That's pretty fair. The interest rate of our Ming people's lending is much higher than this, and the profit is still calculated every five days, and the profit is rolling. ”

Then. Eunuch Xue quickly calculated Zhu Shangwu, and what shocked Zhu Shangwu was completely dumbfounded.

My mother!

I really can't imagine that there is such a good business in this world.

As long as you have money in hand, put it outside. Then it's a sure bet.

I never thought of making a living before.

It's like such a profitable business, you should do it yourself.

If this transaction had been done by himself, would the court and himself still be short of silver?

Apparently impossible.

I regret it, how did I only know about this business today, it's a pity, it's a pity.

But it's not too late, as long as you wait until the siege of the capital is lifted, then you can start this business.

When the time comes, I will never worry about the silver again.

But now, he still has to know more about the money problem of the crown prince from the Americas.

"According to what you mean, in fact, the price offered by the other party is very fair, right?"

Eunuch Xue can't lie about this with a clear conscience, not to mention that he also accepted Zhao Hongyu's 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and at the same time, he has a good sense of Zhao Hongyu.

The reason why he wanted to remind Zhu Shangwu was just his duty.

Therefore, after facing Zhu Shangwu's questioning, he nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, this price is very fair." In the people, this is also an absolute conscience for money, which the old slave guarantees with his life. ”

Zhu Shangwu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since this was the case, what else was there to worry about.

Since the crown prince from the Americas is so fair, he can't be hesitant and let the family see himself clearly.

Immediately, Zhu Shangwu planned to draft a decree and write this matter in black and white, so that the other party could rest assured and at the same time reassure himself.

"Your Highness, our Ming Dynasty's taxes are only more than four million taels a year, and it is rare to be able to collect five million taels of silver. Therefore, if we borrow this silver, it will not be able to pay it next year, so Your Majesty must have a number in your heart. ”

Just when Zhu Shangwu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but be dashed by Eunuch Xue's next words.

What the!

Zhu Shangwu exclaimed.

It was the first time he had heard of this.

He hadn't noticed this problem before, but now that Eunuch Xue said that he could be regarded as a knowledgeable person.

How can it be!

Zhu Shangwu looked at Eunuch Xue in disbelief.

Where are the two muttering, they have been hanging Zhao Hongyu aside for a while.

However, Zhao Hongyu didn't care about this at all, he knew that Zhu Shangwu and Eunuch Xue were probably discussing borrowing money.

So, I can't be too anxious, as if I have to lend them money.

If that's the case, wouldn't it seem like I'm a little too cheap?

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu looked at the surrounding environment unhurriedly. Let Zhu Shangwu and Eunuch Xue say where they are.

At that time, Wang Fuzi, Rodelny, and Hattori Chizuru all sat there honestly and motionless, and their faces looked a little nervous and apprehensive.

Like Zhao Hongyuke, they always inevitably have such excitement when facing big shots.

What's more, they are still facing the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you've never cared about this, so of course you don't know much about it."

No one knew what Zhu Shangwu's mood was like now, but he saw that his eyes were a little dull, and the expression on his face was a little shocked and disbelieving.

I think I have tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty and a vast territory. Why do you collect such a small amount of money in taxes every year?

It doesn't make sense!

It doesn't make any sense!

Zhu Shangwu's heart was uncalm for a while, and he muttered to himself at the same time.

Of course, Eunuch Xue knew what this was for, but he couldn't say some things too clearly. Because there are too many interests involved, there are too many people.

Even if he is a close eunuch by Zhu Shangwu's side, if this lid is lifted, Zhu Shangwu will not be able to protect him.

Of course, there were many people in the Ming Dynasty, and one or two taels of silver per person was definitely more than more than four million taels of silver, not to mention that there were various commercial taxes, although the commercial tax was very low. But if you can really collect it, it's a lot of money.

Not to mention the salt tax, the iron tax and so on.

But in fact, this is the case, the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty is only more than 4 million taels of silver. It's really hard to believe it.

This is also the reason why Zhu Shangwu was shocked.

When he was in power, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty were as much as seven or eight million taels a year.

Why did he reign for eight years, and his taxes fell so much all of a sudden?

This question really made him think about it and couldn't think of it.

In fact, he knew the Tao there. It's not that the taxes of the Ming Dynasty can't be collected, but that these taxes are divided up by those officials, or they simply swallow them into their own pockets.

And. In order to evade taxes, many peasants took refuge in those who did not have to pay taxes, and how could the imperial court collect taxes under such circumstances.

Coupled with the serious land annexation, almost all the land of the Ming Dynasty was occupied by those who were rich and powerful, and these people had a lot of power in the court, so they had a way to avoid paying taxes.

In this way, under the cycle of disgust, the reduction of tax revenue has become inevitable.

The reason why they can still receive more than 4 million taels of taxes is because officials in various places are constantly knocking out the bones of those poor people for the sake of political achievements.

According to the development of such a situation, how could the Ming Dynasty not collapse.

It is impossible for Zhu Shangwu to understand these root problems, because no one will be so clear to him at all.

After all, the stakes are too great.

Eunuch Xue didn't dare to say it.

"Even so, we have to borrow, and without borrowing money, we will not be able to overcome this current difficulty. So I think it's up to the moment. ”

Zhu Shangwu came to the door once this time, and he knew that even if he thought so much, it would not help the current Jurchen siege.

Simply, simply don't think about this headache.

Anyway, he borrowed the silver first to solve the current problem and untie the siege of the capital.

When the time comes, let's think about how to repay the money.

And Eunuch Xue also said that the price given by the crown prince from the Americas was very fair, so what did he hesitate about. (To be continued......)
