Wang An was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, but you are asking about the silver in the inner treasury?" ”

Well? Silver in panties? Why did I put silver in my underwear? Why don't I know how to panic? Li Jiancheng subconsciously looked at his crotch, his action really made Wang An not know what to say, Li Jiancheng looked at his strange appearance and knew that he was mistaken, he was embarrassed: "Why is there any other division of my financial situation in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Wang An heard the words and explained: "Yes, Your Majesty, although the whole world is under Your Majesty, but your money is also divided into the treasury and the inner treasury, the silver in the treasury belongs to the household department to control the state expenditure, and the inner treasury is your own silver under Your Majesty, which is used for all the expenses of the court and your majesty!" ”

As soon as Wang An said this, Li Jiancheng understood, and he asked again: "How much silver is there in my inner treasury?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are 37 million taels of silver and 1 million taels of gold in the inner treasury." Wang An said.

Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard it, I damn it, so rich, 37 million taels of silver, 1 million taels of gold, 1 million taels of gold, using modern methods to calculate 50 tons of gold alone. How much does it cost to convert into RMB, first of all, 50 tons is 50 million grams, and even if modern gold is only 300 yuan a gram, it is 15 billion yuan. Li Jiancheng didn't expect that he would become a billionaire in the blink of an eye. But when I think about Li Jiancheng, he is decadent again, if it is said that a net worth of 15 billion is worth by the standards of modern society, what is it? I'm afraid that no matter which city is bigger, such a personal net worth will not rank in the top 10, not to mention compared with the trillions of national economies in the future, Li Jiancheng didn't expect that he would be an emperor and not as good as a personal boss before!

But then again, I have a country, and this is only in the 16th century, how can I look at it by the standards of the 21st century, in my case it is 50 tons of gold, and if it is well spent, it cannot be spent as 500 tons.

Mmmm, it's okay, apples will have it, and pears will have it. Li Jiancheng said in his heart, and he then said to Wang An: "I really didn't expect that there would be so much money, which greatly exceeded my expectations, then Wang An, you and I will tell me what the annual financial income of the treasury is!" ”

Wang An listened and said: "Your Majesty, there seems to be a lot of silver in this inner treasury, but in fact, this is all slowly accumulated in the past. The annual tax revenue of the treasury is about 8 million taels, but that was also last year, and this year because of the disasters in various places, the emperor reduced a lot of taxes, and it is expected that the treasury revenue may be about 5 million taels in the coming year! ”

Li Jiancheng frowned, has he lost so much? Almost 30 percent, is there such a tax cut? Damn, why hasn't Lao Tzu encountered such a thing in the 21st century. Li Jiancheng was very angry, this ancient man is really atmospheric!

But anger is anger, Li Jiancheng realized the crisis, the tax of the Ming Dynasty is basically the agricultural tax, the commercial tax with the idea of hiding the wealth and the people, it is not collected at all, and there is no tax except for tea and salt, etc., and there is no tax even for mining. Moreover, once agriculture is affected by disasters in this period, the government organs will reduce taxes and reduce the pressure on farmers, the country's financial situation will be even tighter, and the tightening of finances will be even more inexpensive for disaster relief, and the bad weather during the Xiaoice River period is not a day or two, it is a continuous disaster for decades, which also plunges the entire economy of the Ming Dynasty into a vicious circle, no wonder some people say that the Ming Dynasty died in natural disasters, and it is really not unreasonable.

In fact, throughout history, we can also know that the financial income of 8 million taels in the early years of the Apocalypse was less than 3 million taels a year in the Chongzhen period, and the silver left in the inner treasury of Chongzhen after the Apocalypse was only a few million taels of silver, which shows how much water has shrunk in it. But even if you give him 5 million taels, it won't help, because the tax of the Ming Dynasty is too strange, look at the Song Dynasty, not to mention anything else, just the salt tax has a tax income of tens of millions of taels every year, and the financial income of the Qing Dynasty people in a year is 30 million to 40 million taels, which is comparable to Li Jiancheng's accumulation in the inner treasury for many years. It can be seen that heaven, earth and people, the Ming Dynasty with three incompleteness, who will die!

It seems that the money in Li Jiancheng's hands seems to be a lot now, but it is used to run a country, or a country with many disasters and difficulties, so there is really not much, Li Jiancheng has made up his mind, it seems that he has returned to the old path of the traverser, and it is very important to make money!

After thinking twice, Li Jiancheng felt that the road was still very long, and now everything was in ruins, let's take it slowly, Li Jiancheng said to Wang An: "Are there any craftsmen in the palace?" ”

Craftsman? Why did the emperor ask about this, Wang An was surprised, could it be that this emperor still likes to do carpentry as much as when he was the prince, Wang An was a little confused, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, if you are looking for a craftsman, you can find it in the Ministry of Industry, there are all kinds of craftsmen there!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Well, wait a minute, you can find a few skilled workers to meet me, I want them to help me make something, by the way, masons and construction workers can also find some to come to me." By the way, what department is in charge of gunpowder! ”

Gunpowder? Didn't the emperor dare to be interested only in carpentry? Why did he suddenly become interested in flames again, Wang An was a little puzzled. He replied: "The gunpowder under the Imperial Court is under the management of the War Bureau of the Inner Court!" Your Majesty will summon them too! ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled: "Well, no, I want to go to the War Bureau in person to lie down, I want to see how powerful my Ming Fire Gun is!"

In this way, Li Jiancheng went out of the palace again, although the War Bureau was a eunuch organization subordinate to the inner court, but the weapons and gunpowder were naturally impossible to make in the palace, and came to the powder magazine of the War Bureau, Li Jiancheng did not dare to approach, joking Li Jiancheng remembered that the powder magazine of the Ming Dynasty was a time bomb, which had exploded many times in history, which was also a strange event in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng came here to the eunuch in charge of the War Bureau, the eunuch is called Fu Mingde, as soon as he heard that the emperor wanted to see the fire gun, he immediately ran to get the fire gun, Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows after seeing the real thing, just such a thing is the named bird gun in the Ming Dynasty! Not to mention that it really feels like a modern weapon, Li Jianchen gently picked it up.

Fu Mingde saw Li Jiancheng's appearance as if he was interested and flattered and explained: "Your Majesty, this is the bird gun, there is a crosshair at the front end, and there is a light door at the back, which is used for aiming, pouring gunpowder, compacting, and then loading the bullet, then loading the door medicine, then covering the fire door, and then loading the fire rope, so that it is ready to be completed, when it is time to shoot, open the fire door, pull the trigger to shoot, and let the fire rope ignite the flame projectile and launch it." ”

Li Jiancheng listened to Fu Mingde's explanation while looking at the bird gun seriously, the whole bird gun barrel is 1.2 meters long, the whole gun is 1.5 meters long, and the gun is not heavy, about 6 catties. The whole gun is made of wood except for some key parts such as the barrel, but Li Jiancheng is still satisfied with this gun, of course, it will not be the performance and power of this gun that he is satisfied, Li Jiancheng is only satisfied with the barrel, which is what Li Jiancheng cares about.
