"Your Majesty wants to monopolize tobacco, thinking that it is determined that tobacco is quite profitable, and the minister dares to ask......"

Without waiting for Yang Yiqing to finish asking, Zhu Houwei directly cut off the conversation and said: "The first year or two is the stage of acceptance and recognition by the people, and the output of tobacco has not yet kept up, so there will not be much profit, it is estimated that three or four million taels a year will be about the same, and after five or six years, I need tobacco to generate 50 million taels of income for the inner treasury every year!"

Fifty million taels, several ministers were almost not frightened to faint, now the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 20 million taels, which is three times that of the Zhengde Dynasty, it can be said that the financial officials of the Jiajing Dynasty are as arrogant as they are, and they are as confident as they are!

But tobacco ...... Fifty million taels, one tobacco alone is more than two years of tax revenue from the state treasury?

How is it possible, the ministers almost subconsciously believe that the emperor is blowing the atmosphere, but ......

Just look back and think about it, when did Emperor Jiajing brag, it seems that no!

But what Emperor Fan Jiajing said and bragged about are almost all fulfilled one by one, except that steel can fly in the sky......

This means that the emperor wants tobacco to generate 50 million taels of income for the inner treasury every year, which is definitely not a casual talk, but there will be a great possibility to achieve it!

It's scary to think about!

Yang Yiqing's eyes involuntarily glanced at the cigarette case on the imperial case, and he couldn't figure out what the emperor's self-confidence was.

"Your Majesty......"

The conversation was once again ruthlessly interrupted by Zhu Houwei.

"Yang Aiqing is the first assistant of the cabinet and my finance minister, I know what you want to do, but don't say that I haven't made the money for tobacco yet, even if I do...... I'm poor, too. ”

I heard a lot of words, and the ministers didn't want to spit it out......

"Okay, I also know that you don't believe it, but you will believe it soon, and you Aiqing knows about the upcoming expedition of the War King."

"Your Majesty has heard of it in the Tiance Army camp."

"Well, Zhou Ning has already given me a reward, and all the 130,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army are willing to follow the King of War on an expedition overseas to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty!"

The ministers were very calm when they heard this, it seemed that this was a reasonable thing, after all, if a warrior wants to get ahead, the fastest way is the battlefield!

And now the ministers are much less prejudiced against the warriors, and the reason for this is the fearless performance of the soldiers of the new army in this catastrophe!

The ministers also had their own hometowns, and many of the ministers also suffered from floods in their hometowns this time, but fortunately, some soldiers of the New Army sacrificed their lives and died desperately to provide disaster relief, which minimized the disaster losses caused by the disaster.

If the courtiers are still hostile to the martial artists at this time, can they still be considered a person?

It is true that many scholars are lost in the desire for power, but to say that they have completely lost their conscience, it is not enough, after all, the elite class who grew up reading the books of sages and sages still know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are.

Because of this catastrophe, the incense of the Martyrs' Shrine has flourished many times compared to the past, and the front of the Martyrs' Shrine is no longer a forbidden place for ministers.

When today's son can no longer be said to be ambitious, it should be described as ambitious, he wants to lay a few huge territories for the Ming Dynasty that are no less than the Ming Dynasty, and the significance of this move can be called so big that it breaks through the sky.

This is not a grassland problem, the grassland can be defeated, but it is difficult to effectively occupy it, whether the grassland policy of the Son of Heaven can really be realized depends on time to verify, but the significance of opening up a territory like the Ming Dynasty is completely different.

The country of brothers, what is a brother, watching and helping each other is a brother, that is to say, even if the Ming Dynasty declines, as long as the country of brothers is strong, then you can still raise troops to kill back to the homeland and help the Zhu family restore the community, which can always protect the temple of the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the root of the decline of the dynasty lies in the land, which cannot support the growing population, and every time the last year of the dynasty will experience a great demographic decline, the new dynasty will be established on the ruins of the old dynasty, so as to achieve the great rule of the world with the chaos of the world.

To put it bluntly, the root cause of the new dynasty's great rule is that the population is small, the land is enough to be distributed, the old noble forces have been eradicated, and the new noble has just been born, and a large amount of land is waiting to be reclaimed, and it is naturally impossible to talk about annexing land.

In other words, as long as you have a large amount of land, you can feed a larger population, eliminate the huge hidden dangers caused by the lack of land, and completely solve the root cause of the contradiction without experiencing the chaos in the last years of the dynasty.

The cabinet once made statistics, based on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and if the speed of land annexation is also taken into account, the Ming Dynasty can feed no more than 30,000 people, according to the fate of the change of dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's national glory should not exceed 350 years, that is to say, there are almost 200 years from now.

It can be said that this conclusion is quite pertinent.

It's a pity that only Zhu Houwei is the only one in this world who has a front and back eye, they can't see the rise of the Tunguska boar skin, and they can't expect that the arrival of the Xiaoice River Century will completely push the already weakened Daming to the abyss of destruction.

Emperor Jiajing owes Zhengde a throne, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know that they have a deep brotherly relationship, regardless of you and me, you vote for me, and I return to Li, which is also the most normal thing.

"I heard that Your Majesty promised to give the war king 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack England and France on the other side of the ocean, I don't know how far these two countries are from Italy?"

Zhu Houwei looked at Yang Yiqing, and said in his heart, You actually know Italy, but then you know it when you think about it, because in history, that is, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Italian missionary Marco Polo once came to China and brought a lot of Western ideas.

However, with the barbarism of the Yuan court, they could not even accept the Han culture, and even the eloquent Kublai Khan wanted to learn from Qin Shi Huang to engage in the same book and the same track, and wanted to completely exterminate the traditional culture of China, not to mention that the Western culture wanted to take root during the reign of the Yuan court.

"It's not far, it's just more than 1,200 miles."

"And how big are these England and France?"

"Almost a quarter of a Da Ming."

In fact, the actual area of the Ming Dynasty cannot be accurately calculated, because the various periods are different, if you calculate it at present, at least the Nuer Gandu Division, the Wusi Zangdu Division, and the Kansai are still under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty, as for the grassland, it cannot be counted for the time being.

According to this calculation, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is now more than 9 million square kilometers, and it is said that the area of Britain and France is one-quarter of that of the Ming Dynasty, which is really lifting them, but in fact it is only about one-seventh or eighth.

However, Zhu Houzhao led his troops to land in Europe, and it was impossible to stare at Britain and France with a hammer, since it was to expand the territory, take into account the factors of actual domination and assimilation, occupy a quarter of the territory, and then realize the assimilation policy, then more than 2 million square kilometers is already the limit!
