No one in the cabinet is now slamming the door of their own emperor.

Every day, I see more and more savings in my own household deposited in the Daming Central Bank.

Liu Wanchun, the head of the household, now has only one feeling in his heart.

That is, Your Majesty is very wise!

"The household department has always spent money outside, and now since the money law has been changed, the household department can not only spend money outside, but also make money, and now it is not only by saving money to make a profit, but also by auctioning state-owned assets to make a profit."

Liu Wanchun now likes to put the words "state-owned assets" on his lips when he meets people, and he has become a real financial expert in the Ming Dynasty.

He admired that His Majesty the Emperor would invent the word.

In the end, it is not good to directly say that the minerals and mountains and forests in the world are His Majesty's assets and put them up for auction, but now they are replaced by "state-owned assets", and it is naturally a lot for the household department to come forward.

However, Liu Wanchun was also a little worried, he knew that his majesty the emperor would dare to do anything, so he was afraid that his majesty would sell everything at that time, and not even sell his palace city in the end, and even extend his hand from the vassal king to the entire gentry class.

Therefore, Liu Wanchun felt that since he was the head of the household, he still couldn't let His Majesty be too obsessed with business and trade, and he now said to Zhu Youzhen more than once:

"Your Majesty, now that the treasury has enough money to spend, don't think of ways to make money! Your empire is not poor! ”

But Zhu Youzhen is now addicted to making money, how can he say that he will stop when he stops.

After the vassal kings entered Beijing, Zhu Youzhen was not in a hurry to let Gao Hongtu, the first assistant of the cabinet, preside over the expansion of the feudal kings' fiefs.

Zhu Youzhen has been dragging it out on the grounds that the war in the southwest has been unresolved.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't let these vassal kings be idle.

Now Zhu Youzhen seems to be very keen on presiding over family entertainment activities, and from time to time he invites these vassal kings into the palace to attend banquets.

A banquet is held during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because of the moon viewing, there is another feast.

Because the lotus is rewarded again.

Because of the commemoration of a certain emperor, a certain noble held another banquet.

……

Every day or two is a feast.

Sometimes Zhu Youzhen was embarrassed to set up a banquet to summon the vassal kings, so he asked the queen Zhou to come forward to hold a family banquet.

However, the banquet is also simple, but there are a few ordinary dishes, and there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas.

But the vassal kings couldn't help but disobey.

Zhu Youzhen naturally did this for a reason.

The reason is that now the place where these vassal kings live is in Qixia Mountain, which is far away from the imperial city.

And although Zhu Youzhen said that he would mainly summon the vassal kings in the palace of Qixia Mountain in the future to deal with the internal affairs of the Zhu family, in order to make money from the vassal kings, he could only continue to be shameless.

Zhu Youzhen did not come to the palace on the grounds that he was busy with state affairs, and the vassal kings had no choice but to take Zhu Youzhen.

But Zhu Youzhen wanted to summon the vassal kings into the palace every once in a while, and the vassal kings were also very annoyed.

Because I had to travel so far so that I couldn't be late, I had to get up early in the morning before dawn to go to the banquet.

Then, Zhu Youzhen always found a few ministers with good alcohol to take turns to accompany these vassal kings to drink, and drank until the night, and these vassal kings basically had to smear in the middle of the night to rush back to Qixia Mountain.

The vassal kings had only one idea now, and that was that it was better to live in a place close to the imperial city.

At least it's convenient to enter the palace.

That way they can at least get a good night's sleep.

Sure enough, it lasted for two months, and Langzhong Nie Xiaowei of the State-owned Assets Management Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs came to the Qixia Mountain villa area again, and read out the notice of the Ministry of Household in the square.

Jun Xuan means that there are a number of mansions of the noble officials of the criminal vassal kings under the imperial city wall that need to be sold, in order to raise military expenses, but many mansions are too high-level and can only be lived in by the vassal kings, so Nie Xiaowei directly came to the vassal kings to buy them first.

The old mansions under the roots of the imperial city were packaged by Zhu Youzhen and sold to the household department at the market price, and then the household department came forward to prepare to auction these old mansions at a higher price.

These mansions are the residences of many Nanjing criminals and magnates in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Most of them are dilapidated, and although they are under the roots of the imperial city, they are still some distance from the outer city.

In addition to the great needs of the vassal officials of the previous dynasty, there is naturally no need for ordinary big families to come to the imperial city to settle down.

Therefore, now that the vassal kings are living in Beijing, Zhu Youzhen also happened to take advantage of this to sell these high-priced old mansions to these vassal kings at a higher price.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen frequently summons these vassal kings in the palace.

The purpose was to make these feudal lords realize how inconvenient it was to not have a house in the Imperial City.

"Your Royal Highnesses, the war in the southwest is tight, the military budget is insufficient, and now the household department and the cabinet have to think of such a way to sell some old mansions, all of which are left by the former feudal kings and noble eunuchs, with a large area and a good location, if your highnesses are interested, you can come to the state-owned assets management department of our household department to bid according to the address above."

Nie Xiaowei still had a harmless smile on his face, and said to the royal relatives of the entire Qixia Mountain villa area that it was good to live under the roots of the imperial city.

And these vassal kings also knew that this was the imperial court that made it clear that they wanted to earn money from their own hands, but in order to make their lives more convenient, they had to take out the money to buy it.

In this way, all the mansions were auctioned off, especially the palace of Zhu Changxun, the king of Zhao in the Yongle Dynasty, and the highest price was auctioned, directly reaching 300,000 silver dollars!

Although 300,000 silver dollars are lower than the previous Ming Dynasty currency silver 300,000, its value still represents a sky-high price in today's Ming Dynasty, you must know that Liu Kongzhao bought a world's top sail warship today is only 100,000 silver dollars.

But the vassal kings were still able to come up with so much money, and they did not hesitate to buy a house.

It can be seen how rich these vassal kings really are!

Many of these old mansions have long been covered with carved beams, the red doors are peeled off the paint, the tiles and black walls are crooked, and the furnishings are even more dusty and dirty, not to mention how many wild cats or rat holes there are between the beds.

Therefore, even if these feudal lords bought it at a high price, they had to pay someone to clean it, buy new furniture, and decorate the interior and exterior.

The residence of the prince of the dignified palace naturally cannot be too cold, and the purchase of things by craftsmen is naturally high-priced, and the economic recovery of Chongzhen in the first half of the twenty-first year is not unrelated to the consumption promotion of these feudal kings.

Liu Wanchun, the head of the household department, now admires the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is the five-body land, and his household department has not yet begun to collect summer taxes, and the income has completed the total income of last year's half a year.

Just counting the performance bounty, he, Liu Wanchun, can also get an income of two or three thousand silver dollars at the end of this year, which gives him the foundation to accept another concubine.

Of course, after the vassal kings entered the capital, Zhu Youzhen not only helped the household department increase the treasury income, but also helped him increase his own income.
