Hanwen of the Ministry of Household Affairs took the "Comprehensive Budget Guide" and looked through it page by page, and the more he looked at it, the more he admired Hua Houwei, who was thousands of miles away. The small treasury is actually nothing, and the real headache is the undisciplined spending of various departments. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty was not good from the beginning of the founding of the country, and the expenditure of the imperial court was an indescribable bad account. Due to the tax in kind, there is no cash flow in the hands of the household department, coupled with the collapse of the treasure banknote, among the six departments, the saddest is the household department Shangshu.

"Old Han, what kind of charter is this comprehensive budget? Our household department seems to want to take advantage. ”

It was Han Wen's old partner Luo Wengang, the waiter of the Tobe, who didn't know the specific content of the comprehensive budget, but when he heard it, he felt that the Hubu must be the one who took advantage.

Han Wen put down the booklet in his hand, picked up the teacup and smiled slightly: "Lao Luo, I can tell you with certainty that the household department is the next golden nest!" Hehe, the threshold of your home needs to be renewed! ”

"Is that an exaggeration? Let's talk about it! ”

"Well, I heard that your kid has rock tea from Wuyi Mountain? Don't you want to soak Shangguan yet? ”

"Cut! You've been thinking about it for a long time, right? That's how you behaved Shangguan? Okay, I'm afraid of you, alas, the official level crushes people to death! ”

Changing to the rock tea of Wuyi Mountain, Han Wen nodded with satisfaction: "For the sake of your diligence, I'll talk about it." Once the full budget is rolled out, it will be much easier for our households. You don't have to be yelled at by those people anymore to drink behind your buttocks, and you can drink tea with peace of mind. Originally, there was no rest time for a year, but if it was promoted, it would be busy twice a year at the beginning and end of the year, don't you say? ”

"And! I don't believe that's all good! ”

"Huh? Is that too little? Yes! Count your eyes poisonous! And then there's the money! It seems that we have less rights, but in fact, where does the household appropriation come from? Pull a hair and move the whole body, and the treasury is no longer Chen sesame rotten grain, but white flowers and snowflakes and silver! ”

"You mean? Tax silver? ”

"Hmmm! In order to implement a comprehensive budget, it is necessary to have a large amount of cash. Over the years, Daming has earned a lot of silver, but he has spent more. Now the silver is much cheaper than it was in the Koji period, right? So the next step must be to convert into tax collection silver, so isn't the household really a golden nest? ”

Yes, Hangul is worthy of being the head of the household, and his sense of smell is extremely keen. Hua Houwei has already built a batch of stamping machines in Jiangnan, and the factory building of the first mint has been quietly erected.

Zhu Houzhao is looking at the map of the capital in the leopard room, where is the mint appropriate? Safety comes first, and it must be far away from the downtown area, not too far from the center.

Zhang Yong was waiting on the side, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly spoke: "Zhang Banban, where do you say the stamping machine is appropriate?" ”

Zhang Yong thought for a while, and pointed to the vicinity of the Trademark Office: "Long live Lord, the slave maid thinks this place is good!" First, it is close to the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and it is not afraid of a large number of gangsters attacking. Second, the distance is appropriate, and the transportation of raw materials and finished products is also convenient. ”

"Is that okay? Okay, Zhang Banban, you can go to this mint! This is the lifeblood of the imperial court, remember to be cautious! ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Zhang Yong was overjoyed, he was shouldering the imperial horse supervisor at this time, but the imperial horse supervisor is not what it used to be, Zhu Houzhao already has a wolf cooking army, and the imperial horse supervisor is already a chicken rib. I was thinking of hitting Liu Jin's wooden clock, but who knew that a big pie fell from the world, and I knelt on the ground at the moment: "The slave must be very careful, and never let down the long live master!" ”

"Alright, get up, follow me to see the press!"

There is a stamping machine in the leopard room, which is used for Zhu Houzhao's demonstration and training technicians. The leopard house occupies a large area, always one-third the size of the Forbidden City. When I walked to the northwest corner, I heard the sound of rumbling machines.

Tong Weiwen, who was sent by Huahou Wei, was checking the stamped silver dollar, when he saw Zhu Houzhao walking in, threw down the silver coin in his hand, and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty, the stamping machine is working well, please see, this is the new silver dollar." ”

Zhu Houzhao grabbed one and held it up to examine it carefully. The silver dollar is about two circles larger than the five-baht coin, the front is Zhengde one yuan four official books, and the back has a picture of a horse and a knife, and the protagonist is Zhu Houzhao. The edges are neat, with a circle of sun and moon figures recessed.

Tong Weiwen introduced with a smile: "Your Majesty, this silver dollar weighs about one tael, nine silver and one bronze, and fifty silver dollars can save one or two feet of silver." Joining copper not only makes money, but also strengthens it. In addition, there is a derivation of a method of identification, pinching with two fingers, blowing vigorously, and placing it in the ear, there will be a vibrato. Your Majesty, go out and try, it's noisy here, and you can't really hear it. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, grabbed a handful and put it in his sleeve pocket, and then asked, "How much can be produced in an hour?" ”

"Your Majesty, one thousand three hundred and eighty-one in half an hour. As long as the raw materials are available, 10,000 pieces per day is not a problem! ”

Zhu Houzhao walked out of the factory, his ears and eyes were relaxed, and the noise was too loud. He took out a silver dollar, pinched it with two fingers, and put it to his ear. Boom! The sound is long and very pleasant. He was in a very good mood and said to Zhang Yong: "It turns out that Qian really has a voice, which is much better than the sound of those Yueqin and pipa!" ”

Zhang Yong took the silver dollar, followed Zhu Houzhao's example, and blew it vigorously, revealing an intoxicated look. It seems that it is really the best sound, and that is the sound of money.

"Master Tong, in the future, you will listen to Zhang Yongzhang's companionship, train a group of technicians well, and ensure the normal operation of the mint! I will not be stingy with rewards! ”

Liu Jin hurriedly ran over at this time: "Long live the lord!" Hooray! There is military intelligence! ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and greeted him: "What's it called?" Let's go, said the house. ”

Before he could sit down, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to open the bamboo tube and watch it at a glance. Putting down the parchment, Zhu Houzhao raised his head to the sky, dumbfounded.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes shot a fine light: "Go!" Liu Companion, go back to the palace! This is not to be taken lightly! ”

Back in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, frowning for a while, and wandering on the ground for a while, obviously preoccupied.

Li Dongyang and the others entered the Wenhua Palace, and when they saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance, they glanced at each other, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts. This majesty is not the first emperor, he will have an idea for a while, and his personality is still very hard, and he is not easy to serve!

Zhu Houzhao raised his head, looked at Li Dongyang and said with a smile: "Master Li, come and see, this is a pattern coin!" ”

Li Dongyang took the silver dollar and looked back and forth. Zhu Houzhao also held one in his hand and showed off to Li Dongyang: "Master Li, there is a wonderful thing about this silver dollar, look, blow it and put it in your ear, you can identify the authenticity of the silver dollar!" ”

Li Dongyang drew the gourd in the same way and nodded: "Your Majesty, it's true." This silver dollar is so exquisite, I'm afraid the cost is not low, right? ”
