Kyoshi, early in the morning.

On top of dozens of fast horses, Jinyiwei and Dongchang factory guards cooperated to handle the case.

Rush to Jiangnan.

The top priority of the Ming Dynasty is money, and where does this money come from, Zhu Youzhen has gradually figured out the answer, but at the moment, although he has copied the home of the Beijing official.

But this official must have a place to go after all, and it is impossible to blindly stay in the imperial city prison.

So after Zhu Youzhen discussed with Wei Zhongxian late at night, he still decided to reuse these officials of the common people, but in order to avoid returning to Jiangnan to make trouble.

Then you have to go to Jiangnan to build momentum first.

The previous 130 million taels of silver compared with the annual basic financial income of the Ming Dynasty was almost seven or eight years of fiscal revenue.

But after this leek is cut, it is impossible not to continue cutting.

Then we have to find a good place for them, so that they can continue to generate income for Daming.

Thereupon.

Zhu Youzhen thought of a key factor.

Salt tax.

As one of the most important strategic materials during the feudal farming dynasty, salt's status has always been extremely high, and all dynasties have been in the hands of the royal family.

After all, people always have to eat salt, and if a dish is without salt, no matter how skilled the chef is, diners will find it tasteless.

More importantly, salt, as one of the indispensable elements of the human body, is prone to diseases such as night blindness and big neck disease without salt intake for a long time.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen sent Dongchang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the salt production problem in Jiangnan and coastal areas.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the salt introduction system used by the original dynasties can be said to have collapsed directly.

Illegal salt has been repeatedly banned, and the inland use of salt wells and salt mines to boil illegal salt, if the crackdown is still traceable.

And this coastal area.

In the vast sea, you only need to find a beach with plenty of sunshine, and a steady stream of sea water will be drawn into the salt pans, and within a month, a large amount of illegal salt will be stolen.

Fujian Province.

"It's... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

A factory guard who came to inquire about the situation of illegal salt was shocked and speechless by the endless salt pans by the sea in front of him.

"No wonder this private salt has been banned repeatedly, I am waiting here to watch, the movements of these people do not mean to slow down in the slightest, this large area of salt fields may produce tens of thousands of stones at a time."

A brocade guard on the side is also angry, eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king.

But the situation of salt erosion along the coast shocked everyone.

"Record it! Time waits for no one! The emperor is still waiting for you and me in the capital, let's continue to go down! ”

"Yes!"

The fast horse is due to the fact that the post roads along the way have not collapsed, in fact, this is also because the Jiangnan has entered the richest area of the Ming Dynasty since it has beaten Nanjing and Zhejiang.

The local industry and commerce are extremely prosperous, and in this case, a large number of local businessmen are also willing to donate money to build roads for the local area, after all, this is also a good thing to make a name for themselves.

After all, after the road is completed, a stone monument will be erected on the side of the road, engraved on the year and month of this road, and under the donation of which lord, it will be built. Balabala's narration.

On the one hand, it is convenient for the carriage to do business, and on the other hand, this move is the same as donating money to study, which is considered by the gentry in Jiangnan to be an act of accumulating virtue and doing good.

However, this is only one of them.

Outside the city of Baoding, there is also a naval army, which goes down the coastal defense line from the coast, although there are many risks.

But Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait for this, so after a large number of people under the banner of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were sent out, the Ming Dynasty's investigation of Yu Yanwu officially kicked off.

It's just that it takes a lot of time in the middle, and at present, the Jingshi is the place where Zhu Youzhen needs to manage it well.

A succession of land, houses, and treasures were taken out for auction by the newly established Daming Royal Auction House, in order to prepare for such an auction.

Zhu Youzhen also intimately provided loan services for the people, wealthy households, businessmen and those large families who came to participate in the auction.

The minimum is a one-time down payment of 30% of the value of the lot.

You can get full ownership of the lot, but you are not allowed to resell the lot until the repayment is over.

This is also the opportunity for people who want to take this opportunity to resell, but as long as you have the money, you can pay the money directly in one lump sum, then sell it however you want.

What Zhu Youzhen avoided was just a trick of someone with a heart to take a small part of the funds and make a short glove white wolf in it.

After all, there are a lot of smart people in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the question of the origin of the lots, Zhu Youzhen thoughtfully prepared a special royal notice, and no one or the Yamen court was allowed to restrict the lots that were auctioned.

As long as the other party pays the money, once there is any dispute in the future, Dongchang will take care of it to the end.

This is the promise made by Wei Zhongxian to Zhu Youzhen.

Moreover, in order to expand the scope of influence of this auction, although there are many rich people in the north of the Ming Dynasty, it is still the south that is really rich and rich.

As a result, a large number of materials were also continuously transported to Nanjing for auction through waterways and post roads.

In this way, one north and one south, as well as the Guangdong auction houses and provincial branches in preparation, will be used as the best way to realize the family property of these corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty for a certain period of time.

Not only that, once these current Ming royal auction houses cover the whole of Daming, then a behemoth will have the basic conditions for its birth.

That's Daming Royal Bank.

As a later generation, Zhu Youzhen could not be clearer about the role of banks, and only when banks appeared could they closely link the monetary attributes with the royal family.

Right now, Zhu Youzhen is throwing a lot of silver.

Not only the Beijing camp of the Beijing Division, but also Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaodong, Jiangxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, except for a few provinces, have begun liquidation activities.

Whether it was the military salaries owed before, the food money for the relief of the victims, the salaries of hundreds of officials, the deficit in the construction of water conservancy, and the money and grain for the training of the new army, a large amount of silver was squandered.

As long as you can prove to the Daming Royal Tax Bureau that the royal family owes you money during the Great Ming Apocalypse, Wanli and the current Chongzhen period, then you can get a certificate.

It is impressively printed with the Ming royal bonds.

With this bond, it can be exchanged directly for cash or deducted from the lot at the Daming Royal Auction House.

All of this is the goodwill shown by Zhu Youzhen pulling down the belt of his trousers.

Only the royal family treats the people with integrity, and the royal family acknowledges everything in the past.

Zhu Youzhen was embarrassed to lift the whip and ask for silver from the gentry who owed the royal tax silver and lived in the courtyard of the deep mansion holding their concubines!

The layout of all this came too quickly, and even Wei Zhongxian was shocked by this dazzling operation.

And Zhu Youzhen was almost paralyzed in the imperial city.

And this tiredness will cause accidents.

"The Emperor.. The medicine sent by the hospital came.. Drink it while it's hot..."

A little eunuch who delivered medicine carried the medicine into Zhu Youzhen's house, but the smell of the black medicine and the classic scene of Da Lang drinking the medicine.

made Zhu Youzhen frown instantly.

This medicine.

It doesn't seem right...
