"The household department now has a little surplus silver, if Your Majesty spends six or seven million taels a year, it will take three or five years, then the household department can undertake the construction!"

Yang Yiqing said this is actually a compromise, because he knows that the emperor is right, silver in the treasury is a dead thing after all, if it can't be embezzled, then those moths in the household department may have to add blockage.

Only by using the silver, making the people rich, and then returning it through taxes, can the silver live!

Emperor Jiajing doesn't like big personnel changes, for example, he Yang Yiqing has been sitting in the position of the head of the household for too many years, which is unimaginable in any other dynasty, but it is precisely because he has sat long enough that he can see more thoroughly!

Whether there will be another financial crisis in the Ming Dynasty in the future, Yang Yiqing does not dare to say, but he believes that at least in the Jiajing Dynasty, it is unlikely that there will be, with Emperor Jiajing's ability to accumulate wealth, if the Ming Dynasty falls into financial difficulties, it will be a big joke.

As the head of the household, Yang Yiqing is unwilling to spend a lot of silver to do things that are far away, and he is indeed a precautionary measure, no matter how much the former Ming can save, it is also beyond his means, but now he does not save, and the annual surplus of silver in the household department has increased from four or five million taels at the beginning to nearly ten million taels now!

This is the economic revitalization that the emperor said!

Build infrastructure, improve the business environment, formulate commercial tax standards, so that the world's businessmen can easily and confidently do business, so that it is difficult for business to prosper, business is prosperous, the state can collect more commercial taxes, and now the largest part of the household finance is commercial tax!

In just a few years, the balance of the household department has doubled, and you can imagine how prosperous the world's commerce has become.

With the silver, Yang Yiqing, who is the head of the household, has a straight waist and enough confidence, so naturally he no longer needs to be a miser.

But after experiencing bitterness, he knew that sweetness was not easy to come by, so Yang Yiqing didn't say anything to death, he regarded the balance of the treasury silver of the household department as a reserve, and he would never move lightly until he had to do so, and he didn't care whether the silver pile was dead or alive, and no matter what value was worthless, in short, as long as he was still a household secretary for a day, he would not allow the emperor to put his hand into the treasury and move the reserve capital of the treasury!

If you put it there, then there will be a surplus every year, and the surplus will be taken out to support the emperor's project construction, which is already the biggest concession he has made in Yang Yiqing's view.

In fact, for the current Zhu Houwei, even if he wants to carry out comprehensive and vigorous infrastructure construction, he is really not as short of money as he imagined.

For the current infrastructure, the cost is mainly labor and materials and food, and the materials are mainly steel and concrete, both of which are self-sufficient, and labor ......

Now Zhu Houwei recalls how stupid it was to let my brother go to Australia and the Americas, and now it's okay, my brother is going to scourge Europe, and Daming will continue to usher in a steady stream of free strong labor!

Compared with the infrastructure construction of later generations, the only thing that Zhu Houwei can surpass now is free manpower, and he is not worried about consumption......

So Zhu Houwei can not hesitate to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction, such as building bridges!

No technology is not afraid, any technology is slowly groped out, the Chinese craftsmen are not lacking is the spirit of exploration, as long as the ideas are provided, and then given enough resources to ensure that the craftsmen have no worries, willing to bear the failure again and again, then there is nothing that can not be done!

The Great Wall can be built, but you say the bridge can't be repaired? Joke, the bridge repair technology of the Chinese nation is thousands of years ahead of the world!

He asked Yang Yiqing not to be a miser, he really didn't want to focus on the treasury, he wanted to empty the treasury, it was meaningless, he just let Yang Yiqing and even the officials who took over as the head of the household department know how stupid it is to be a miser, and the importance of infrastructure!

Zhu Houwei spread out the map!

This is an incomparably detailed geographical map of the Daming Mountains and Rivers, on which the rivers, lakes, mountains, mountains, basins and plains are clear and clear at a glance!

Because this is a completely three-dimensional map, it is estimated that it is also the only map in the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world that is completely three-dimensional and can be detailed to this extent!

So much so that when several cabinet ministers saw such a map, their eyes almost didn't fall out!

"Breathtaking, breathtaking." The corners of Yang Yiqing's eyes were a little moist, and he sighed lightly: "As the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, it is the first time that I have seen such a beautiful map on a map that can depict the geography of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

The rest of the pavilion elders also stared at the map intently, as if they wanted to engrave this map into their eyes, but one by one, the qi cultivation kung fu was really good, even if the heart was shocked to the point of no return, there was no emotion on the surface after all, but Yang Yiqing seemed a little out of shape.

Zhu Houwei smiled, the territory depicted on this map is extremely vast, almost 12 million square kilometers!

Including Uszang (Tibet), Nuergandusi (Northeast Region), Hamiwei (Xinjiang), Grassland Cities (Inner Mongolia and most of Outer Mongolia) and more!

Later generations said that Xinjiang was not within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is wrong, because Hamiwei was not revoked until the Jiajing period in history, no matter how weak the Ming Dynasty's control in Xinjiang was, but at least nominally Xinjiang still belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Now Hamiwei is indeed gone, but it is replaced by a new military region that is countless times stronger than Hamiwei, and at this time in Xinjiang, Zhu Houwei has completed absolute rule!

This is the territory of China, the Han and Tang Dynasties are, naturally it is impossible to lose it in the hands of Zhu Houwei!

Of course, Zhu Houwei took out this map not to let several ministers have any intuitive feelings about the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but to let these important ministers know that there will be those great projects in the Ming Dynasty in the past ten or twenty years.

"This is Longyang Gorge, where engineers led by Shen Zhong will build the dam." Zhu Houwei planted a small red banner on the position of Longyang Gorge, and the ministers who watched it were dripping blood in their hearts.

How can such a perfect map be so desecrated!

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houwei planted a small flag in the position of Yichang, Hubei Province and said: "The first dam of the Yangtze River will be built here, that is, the Gezhouba Hydropower Station!" The person in charge is Mu Jing. ”

"The first dam of the Yangtze River...... Yang Yiqing muttered, just by hearing such a name, you know how majestic this Gezhou Dam will be, this is really a miracle that can be accomplished by manpower?

Zhu Houwei ignored Yang Yiqing's emotion, and immediately took out three small flags and planted them in Nanjing, Wuhan and Linzhou, Henan!
