"Yan Song, you dare!" Li Min was escorted to Yan Song, still roaring.

"This official is ordered by the Son of Heaven to investigate the world's mineral deposits, doesn't Lord Hou know what the holy order is difficult to disobey?" Yan Song snorted coldly: "Why did the Son of Heaven allocate three hundred elite soldiers to this official, doesn't Hou Ye know the deep meaning?" If you want to settle the mineral deposits, you will inevitably be constrained by the wealthy family and nobles, and you will be forced to do so, won't the Son of Heaven make an example of you? Hou Ye is so stupid, he actually wants to be the chicken that is shown to the monkey, and the official can only do what Hou Ye wants. ”

Li Min was stunned, what Yan Song said was so reasonable!

Inventory of mineral deposits, all the nobles of the world will watch, if the Son of Heaven does not use thunderbolt-like means, how can he suppress the nobles of the world!

At this time, we must catch a few nobles to rectify them, and after dealing with these thorns, the nobles in the world will either unite to fight against each other, or they can only recognize the slaughter of the Son of Heaven.

But will the Son of Heaven back down?

Look at the methods of the Son of Heaven to deal with the salt administration, and then look at how he dealt with the clan vassal king, how likely is it to expect the Son of Heaven to back down?

The estimate is negligible......

So he, Li Min, became the chicken......

What happens if you become a chicken?

It is the most ruthless emperor family, all the kings have always been like this, and the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is even more so, this group of descendants of the Zhu family with the blood of Taizu in their bodies does not have a fuel-efficient lamp, relatively speaking, it seems that Renzong and Xiaozong are slightly better, as for today......

Hehe......

Counting on Zhu Houwei's soft-heartedness, Li Min felt that he might as well expect the old sow to go up to the tree.

But Li Min felt that Zhu Houwei would not be able to kill him, and as for the raid of his family and the removal of the knight, the reason was very simple, he did not rebel, let alone involved in the cruel political struggle, and there was no problem of standing on the wrong side.

But he is likely to be imprisoned, just like those vassal kings who were imprisoned in the capital.

Maybe the Son of Heaven will build him a Hou Mansion, of course, he has to pay for it with silver......

When today's son can be said to have shown the four words of excessive wealth to the extreme, he has been in charge of the country one after another, and one thing after another seems difficult to understand, but it is all taking precautions!

For example, when the people of Fangshan migrated to build mansions, they originally thought that the emperor wanted to buy a house to make a small amount of money, but in fact they did buy a house.

But who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would deceive the vassal king to the capital, and then sell the house that cost only a few thousand taels for hundreds of thousands of taels in an extremely shameless manner!

Throughout the ages, it was the norm for the Son of Heaven to give a house, not to mention the vassal king, even if it was a marquis or an earl, after the Son of Heaven ordered the Ministry of Engineering to build a mansion, it was also a gift, and it was good today, even if he didn't give it, he still had to dig a piece of flesh and blood on the clan's body.

Not only the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, in fact, the nobles have long seen that the Son of Heaven wants to carry out earth-shaking innovation in the Ming Dynasty, in order to complete the innovation plan, he reorganized the army with one hand, controlled the army, and used everything to collect money with the other hand.

The feudal kings, salt administrations, Tongzhou, and commercial taxes are all the same as today's mineral deposits.

Now in front of Li Min is a multiple-choice question, either admit instigation and give in, or resist to the end.

Obviously, Yan Song overestimated Xungui's discipline......

"Why should Lord Yan be like this, how could Ben Hou interfere with the Son of Heaven to check the mineral deposits, this is a good thing, it is a good thing to increase the endowment for the country, a good thing, Ben Hou is a nobleman, he is already proud of the royal family, and he should fully support it!"

Yan Song sneered: "In this way, Master Hou has figured it out?"

"Figured it out, figured it out." Li Min nodded busily, joking, he didn't want to be that chicken.

"It's a pity that these family members are gone." Yan Song sighed, there were more than a dozen family members who were hit by muskets, but none of them were fatal injuries, which was also a line that he deliberately left a line.

Li Min said: "They deserve it, they dare to try to resist the heavenly soldiers, do they want to rebel!" It's luck that he wasn't killed, and Ben Hou also heard that the Son of Heaven reorganized the new army and strictly ordered the generals not to raise family members, otherwise they would be punished for rebellion. ”

Yan Song looked sideways, he had never seen such a shameless goods, of course, it could be that this guy was a good man who didn't suffer the immediate loss and deliberately showed weakness.

"The Marquis of Fengcheng can support the great politics of the Son of Heaven, and this official admires it." Yan Song waved his hand, and the two soldiers who were escorting Li Min immediately released their restraints.

Li Min moved his wrist, which was slightly bruised, and arched his hand: "The great politics of the Son of Heaven, if no one supports it, how can Xunmen not stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, dare to ask Lord Yan, this contract system is as unique as the salt administration?"

"Not bad." Yan Song nodded.

"Then dare to ask Ben Hou if he wants to contract this Dexing copper mine, how much contract silver needs to be paid every year?"

Yan Song beckoned, and two young men who looked very handsome walked over.

"This is the account room arranged by the Son of Heaven to the officials, they will calculate the output of the Dexing copper mine over the years, and then take seventy percent of the average as the contracted silver, once the contracted silver is set for at least ten years, it will not change, before the change, no matter how much Dexing copper ore outputs, the amount of contracted silver remains the same.

As a simple example, assuming that the average annual output of Dexing Copper Mine is 500,000 taels, then Hou Ye, as a contractor, needs to pay 350,000 taels of silver to the imperial court every year.

During the contract period, if Hou Ye makes a profit of 600,000 taels from Dexing Copper Mine every year, he only needs to pay 350,000 taels, in case Hou Ye encounters natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the income of the copper mine is only 300,000 taels, then Hou Ye has to make up 350,000 taels even if he sticks silver. ”

Li Min knew about the contracting system, so even if Yan Song explained it in detail now, he still couldn't help but want to scold people, who to scold?

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houwei!

What is this? They worked tirelessly to mine, to smelt copper, and to take risks, and finally Zhu Houwei lay on the dragon bed and counted the silver.

And counting the silver in the world's mines, how much wealth will it be?

Zhu Houwei extorted more than 10,000,000 taels of silver from the vassal king, and Yanzheng's annual income was almost 25 million taels, as well as various commercial affairs, such as the money houses that are now open in most prefectures, as well as commercial taxes......

Of course, the silver of the commercial tax will eventually belong to the household department, and if Zhu Houwei wants to deprive him of this silver, the Manchu Dynasty will probably go crazy.

"Then will this contracted silver be handed over directly to the government or to the tax department?"

The question didn't seem to make much sense, but Li Min asked anyway, because he wanted to know if the silver from the mine would also fall into the hands of the royal family.

You must know that if all the mineral deposits in the world are expropriated, their income will definitely not be less than that of Yanzheng, so how much wealth will Zhu Houwei control every year?

Unlike the salt administration, the mines, the money estate, the merchants, and the blackmailing feudal kings who bought and sold with a hammer, this is a steady stream of wealth every year!

As the emperor, he Zhu Houwei has endless glory and wealth, what does he want so much silver!
