Solving hunger is a terrible thing, at least it is to make the people full, but once this magnitude changes, it becomes a big thing that the annual food production can feed the people of the whole world.

Zhu Youzhen changed his previous day to sit on the dragon chair and walked down slowly.

"There have been a lot of changes in less than a year since I first ascended to the throne, and I have seen all this in my eyes, and I have to say that you Aiqing have worked hard, and officials from all over the world have also made a lot of efforts in it... I'm very happy about that."

Seeing this, the officials above the court also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the officials above the court, thanks to the gradual development of the pro-imperial party formed by Wei Zhongxian in private, a large number of officials above the court have joined it.

Speaking of which.

The emergence of this pro-imperial party was also very turbulent, and the pro-imperial party, which was first called the eunuch party, changed such a name under the care of Zhu Youzhen.

Later, under the large-scale purge of the Donglin Party, more and more aspiring officials saw the characteristics of the pro-imperial party.

That is, not to look at the background, not to look at the fame, only to look at the ability and talent.

As long as you are willing to support His Majesty the Emperor, as long as you are willing to truly think about the people, then you have a ladder of success.

The so-called gold shines everywhere.

This is exactly the case within the pro-imperial party that Wei Zhongxian is in charge of, with a steady stream of new bureaus being established, and a large number of grassroots officials being enriched through various recruitment examinations.

And the vacancies that had been vacated by many officials due to various cases were also being replaced by officials from the pro-imperial party.

"I have decided to complete the income statistics of officials in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty within a month, and then carry out a large-scale plan to raise the income."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"This plan aims to increase the income of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty, I know that the income of officials today is really not high, even after the reform of the chaos that pervades it, such as folding colors, it is still a little backward..."

"As for the funding of this program..."

Zhu Youzhen looked at Guo Yunhou...

"The minister is here.."

"Is there a problem with the household?"

"Back to Your Majesty.. If the growth is not much... The Treasury of the Ministry of Household is sufficient to cover the expenses of this program..."

Zhu Youzhen's face was stunned, and then he said: "Whoever said that there is no money, don't tell me that there is no money, although there are a few provincial governments that have been reduced or exempted due to disasters after the agricultural tax came up last year. But the treasury has been replenished in full.."

Seeing that Long Yan was displeased, Guo Yunhou also had a bitter face, and retreated to his position and said, "Back to Your Majesty.. But now the number of people in the various departments and bureaus of the Ming New Deal is also surging.."

"If it's not enough, you can communicate with Bi Ziyan... For now, I'm just talking about plans for this growth. ”

Looking around, Zhu Youzhen slowly spoke again: "This time, the salary increase plan for officials will cover all Ming officials, what I said at the moment may be a bit one-sided, including officials in Beijing, local state and county officials, officials of the new political bureau, officials of various factories directly under the royal family, officials of the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park, etc., and this will also include relevant auxiliary personnel, and the perfect plan will be released after the survey and statistics!" ”

"Your Majesty..."

Next.

The "Jingshi Daily" published this news, the most important of which was to announce the detailed income figures of the Ming court to the outside world for the first time.

The source of this number is actually extremely difficult, after all, in such an era when the main arithmetic tool is still the abacus, every number has to be extremely accurate.

Then it will require a large number of people to repeatedly calculate.

The Royal Bureau of Statistics has also made a significant contribution to this.

As for why it should be made public?

At present, the war is tight, and Zhu Youzhen is always worried that the people within the Ming Empire will lose confidence in the war in Liaodong, because at this moment, although the Ministry of Agriculture of the Ming Dynasty has fully taken over the granaries set up by the Ministry of Households in various states and counties.

And Xu Guangqi also spent a lot of effort to inspect the problem of rats in the granary, and found out many shoddy officials who damaged the public and private interests.

But it is also the first time that Daming's current grain reserves are presented before Zhu You's case.

Not before it wasn't nothing..

Only this time it may be "real".

Jingshi Street..

"How can you give the officials a raise... Which of those officials is not wide and thick... All fat heads and big ears. Cadaver vegetarian meal." In a small alleyway shop with a shaved face.

There was a guest who was patronizing, enjoying the service of the shaver, while holding a newspaper and sipping tea, and talking...

"If you want me to say, this silver is meat buns and beating dogs. . . If you have this money, you might as well give it to us poor people."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice rang out.

"Boom!"

Blood suddenly flowed down the door of the brain..

The old master who shaved his head is skilled, and although the shop is old, it has also been open for decades.

The neighborhood loves to come here to shave their heads and gossip...

"Ahh A cry of pain!

"Old horse! What's the matter with you! You're an old craftsman, too! How can I still shave my head?! ”

"Lao Zhang! The old horse has never trembled his hands in his life, but you have to say that the officials and the old men are all fat heads and big ears, and the corpses are vegetarians... I can't bear it, old horse."

While apologizing, the old horse took a linen cloth from the other side and wiped the blood that was gradually flowing out.

"You old horse! What's wrong? What good did those officials give you, you said good things to them.."

"Alas. You don't know, my wife's health is not as good as day by day, if it weren't for the Holy Hand and the Imperial Doctor of the Tai Hospital, who was ordered to sit in Beijing for free day and night to see a doctor for the people..."

"My old woman really can't survive this winter... So you say those.."

While covering his forehead.. The guest with his shaved head seemed to realize that what he was saying was indeed a bit out of place. Especially when he said such a thing in front of this shaved old horse...

"Alright, alright! I won't talk about it in the future.. What a weird old horse you are! ”

.... The news that the imperial court intends to raise the salaries of all officials in the Ming Dynasty has spread all over the country, and many low-level state and county officials are the first to cheer!

"Your Majesty! The emperor is sage! ”

In a county yafang courtyard in Shandong Prefecture, it was difficult for the old Liu to hide the excitement in his eyes.

On the newspaper in my hand, I saw a line of words exposed between the ink printing...

"Speed up the determination of the identity of the county officials and other errand servants in the prefectures and counties of the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty and the more basic level, and list them as part of the Ming official system. Enjoy the minimum official salary..."
