"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your doubts." The corners of Xu Jie's mouth gradually showed a relieved smile, he didn't know what he was pursuing, but he just asked it, and now he got such an answer, it seems that it is not bad.

"Okay, go back and prepare, learn more from your teacher, that guy is thoughtful, you are still very tender now, but I hope that you are still simple in front of me, although we are destined to be brothers in this life, but I don't want to send you to the guillotine with my own hands, do you understand, glory and wealth, what can't I give you? Don't do anything stupid. ”

Zhu Houxi squinted, this is his last warning, although coins have not been issued yet, but the implementation of the military merit system has made it clear that he has the ability to make money, and now he has five million military merits with a wave of his hand, and the black market can be counted as more than 20 million taels of silver.

In this case, Xu Jie must be able to recognize himself, after all, he can still carry it clearly, but Zhu Houxi is still a little uneasy, after all, the tax department has too much running water in his hand, and if he moves his mind, no one can save him.

"Please rest assured, your Majesty will do your best, the Weichen who shouldn't take it will not look at it, the Weichen will only take what His Majesty gives, if one day the Weichen violates his original intention, he doesn't need His Majesty to send it, and the Weichen will definitely go to the guillotine himself."

Xu Jie's eyes are still very open to this kind of thing, even Lord Yan is very taboo about money, which shows how disgusted His Majesty is for corruption, and he has also investigated many batches of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he doesn't want to be one of them.

"I hope so, all right, you can step aside, I'm tired." Now it must be a good word, but people are not easy to say, you say that hundreds of millions of turnover from your hands a year, casually do accounts and scrape down tens of millions may not be noticed, do you say you can stand such a temptation?

It's really hard to say, although Zhu Houxi believes in his own vision and Yan Song's vision, but people's hearts are fickle, huge interests are in front of him, who knows, he can only take one step at a time, he can only say that he is worthy of his heart, for a few people, whether it is material or spiritual, he is as satisfied as possible.

"No, Weichen retired." Xu Jie respectfully withdrew from the hall, he knew that his identity would be different from now on, but while accepting this identity, he also accepted a responsibility, a huge responsibility.

"Master, will you leave such an important matter to him?" Lu Fang changed a cup of tea for Zhu Houxi on the side, of course he didn't dare to question His Majesty's decision, but he felt that this decision was a little hasty.

"Who will you hand over to him if you don't hand it over, let Yan Song be personally responsible? Forget it, you spare his life, besides, whether it can be done or not depends on himself, let's just see, Daming is not what it was before, he can afford to fail, there is no need to be so cautious, let's try it boldly. ”

Zhu Houxi doesn't care very much, he doesn't care, just treat it as an attempt for young people, if it fails, it's not a lot of losses, but if it succeeds, isn't someone responsible for this matter, otherwise this important person in charge has to go to find it in person, how troublesome.

Of course, if possible, he naturally wanted to throw everything to Yan Song, but for the sake of his old life, forget it, he felt sorry for him for using it like this every day.

"It's also true, if the tax work can go smoothly, you don't need to do everything, even a small half is enough." There is really no way to pay taxes, the gentry do not pay grain, the country naturally has no money, and the peasants have less and less land, who do they find to collect taxes?

"A small half? I can't do it with one less, you think I'm really joking, if it's just those three melons and two dates, forget it, I don't care, but if I really collect it all, there is still a tax close to 100 million a year, I still believe it, and as a result, these people only pay how much a year, less than 10 million, you say how black these people's hearts are, I want to see, who wants to be this bird. ”

Now it's different from the past, and you had to be a little afraid before you didn't expand the army, but now you dare to try back, who is afraid of whom.

Now those people no longer have the ability to threaten Zhu Houxi, anyway, he doesn't care, it's just the painful period of reform, compared to other reforms, he feels that his bloody sacrifice is already very small, if someone wants to try his sword is not good, then he doesn't mind showing it.

The main reason is that there are so many good things in the exchange office, and everyone has no military merits in their hands, so it is regarded as a welfare, and everyone can try it.

Anyway, these things are used within the army, most of them are basically used to buy equipment, which is equivalent to changing equipment in disguise to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Anyway, Zhu Houxi thinks it's quite profitable, it's not very profitable, it's just blood, and all the equipment money in the future will be saved, as for those soldiers, it's actually not bad, there is a hope, those powerful equipment, if they want it, there is still a chance to work hard, how could this kind of thing have their share in the past, and military merit can also be exchanged for official positions and money, anyway, there are a lot of benefits, and I feel that the life of the army has suddenly become fun.

Soon Jinyiwei is going to move, and it will be able to be implemented in a new place, and the work efficiency will be higher, these things are military merits, what are military merits, it is linked to the economy, which is equivalent to printing money, and it is a huge profit.

About a million military equipment, the cost is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, the main reason is that the labor is too slow, there is no way, it is estimated that it will take some time to enter the mechanization era.

A spear has fifty military merits, and ten bullets and a military merit are definitely profitable, the key is that you can't buy them outside, and some things must have a certain degree of contribution.

As for the contribution, it depends on the cumulative contribution you get, which also prevents someone from exchanging a large number of items with the ability to banknote, how to say, this system is relatively mature.

The cost of a spear is only a few taels of silver, plus the labor is definitely not more than ten taels, which can leverage the economy of more than two hundred taels of silver, why not do it, sure enough, the arms trade is a huge profit, and this can only be used in the army, if it is sold, Zhu Houxi will have to sell it for hundreds or thousands of taels.

Of course, only fools sell, and the army uses that to enhance its own strength, and to sell it is called a capital enemy, can it be the same?

There are also good things on it, light machine gun binoculars, mortar cannons, it can be said that everything is available, but the price is easy to prohibit, these are easy to say, they can be made slowly, and there are a lot of accumulations, but the bullets are really hard wounds, they are all manually polished one by one, and what can I do if the efficiency is not up.

Now that some workshops have been moved to new places one after another, where Zhu Houxi is stationed in a military region, he has given a death order, but if there is a spy who sneaks in, he will be held accountable from top to bottom.

However, the advantage is that every person on duty can get a certain amount of military merit every month, which can be regarded as paid work, and this military merit is not sprinkled with water for Jinyiwei, just a little weapons and equipment.

"Yes, we are different now, who dares to despise us?" Lu Fang is definitely a witness to everything, when His Majesty first ascended to the throne, although he was not walking on thin ice, he was also frightened, but now it is different, who dares to despise the imperial court?

"It's all a trivial matter, by the way, Wang Yangming's appointment has been prepared, take a moment to send it down, pay a little attention, he just came back and still have to help." It feels a little redundant, but I would like to express my concern.

"It's all ready, don't worry, master, we will take care of Lord Wang." Lu Fang nodded slightly, these are trivial things, even if they don't say it, they will do a good job, after all, it is still the same external situation so far, and relatively speaking, the relationship within the team is still very harmonious.

"Well, although I don't think he needs to take care of it, but I still have to take care of it, and there is the matter of the Japanese country, starting to build a big ship, since Wang Yangming has occupied it for me, it is impossible for me not to want such a place, even if it is far away, it is also the territory of Daming, you let Yan Song handle this matter, originally the naval construction should have looked for Wang Yangming, after all, he also has experience, but in view of the fact that he has just come back and has a lot of things, you better let Yan Song worry more about it."

I don't know anything else, Zhu Houyu is interested in this thief, and only by opening up a way can he occupy it reasonably, right, see how Zhu Houyu cleans them up.

"No."

"Alright, that's pretty much it, you go down, I'll rest." Zhu Houxi felt that he had a whim, as if he had a new understanding, that glimmer of understanding disappeared in a flash, and he planned to explore it well, sometimes success or failure is just a thought.

After Lu Fang retreated, there was only Zhu Houyu here, and his true qi wandered around him, faintly exuding a luminous light, Zhu Houxi's internal cultivation had reached the realm of transformation, and it seemed that the entire heaven and earth were under his control, especially standing in the center of the entire capital formation, whether it was enlightenment or cultivation, it was the best choice here.

At his level, sometimes time really feels very worthless, and by the time Zhu Houxi opened his eyes again, a month had already passed.

"Alas, the flash of inspiration in this realm is really not so easy to grasp, it always feels a little worse, but the difference is a thousand miles, and the difference is much worse." Zhu Houxi sighed, I can't say that I have gained nothing this month, anyway, there is no big gain, except for a little increase in internal qi, there is nothing else.

"We want to see Your Majesty, get out of the way of me."

"Get out of the way, what I have in my hand is the Danshu iron coupon given by Taizu, if you see this volume, if you see Taizu, don't you let it go?"

Zhu Houxi didn't gain anything from this retreat, and when he was irritable, he heard the noisy sound outside, and was worried that there was no way to vent the resentment in his heart, but these guys jumped to the muzzle of the gun themselves.

Outside, Lu Fang was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he didn't speak with a bitter face, but he didn't let these people move forward half a step, if he had thrown these guys out earlier, His Majesty would never give them face, of course, he was the same.

It's just that today is different, these guys are holding things in their hands, what Taizu's Danshu iron coupon, the Shangfang sword given by the emperor, everything else is okay, Taizu's things have to be weighed, how can this thing still be there, it's really a headache.

"Lu Fang, don't hide inside and keep quiet, I want to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty was disturbed by the villain's slander, Lu Fang, you can't escape the blame, don't let me in, do you want to be disrespectful to Taizu?"

"British Duke, don't scare our family, our family naturally doesn't dare to slack off on the things of Taizu, but Your Majesty is concentrating on cultivating and not seeing guests, and our family can't let you in, if you don't bother you, just wait here, if Your Majesty wants to see you, you can naturally see Your Majesty, otherwise, you can't pass our family."

Although Lu Fang didn't dare to do anything to him, he still had the confidence not to let him in, so we just consumed it, anyway, if Your Majesty wants to see you, you will naturally be fine, if you don't want to see you, it is useless for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to come, and now the world of the Ming Dynasty is His Majesty's now, and it is useless for Taizu to come.

"Lu Fang, you dare, a rebel thief, a traitorous villain."

"Okay, okay, you can save your worries, Your Majesty will be the first to report when you come out, and you can stop during this time, even if Your Majesty really cures our family's crimes, it will be a matter of the future, a few of you will wait here." Lu Fang waved his hand, and turned against the sky, except for His Majesty, it is not easy for anyone to come, if it weren't for the scruples of the Danshu Iron Coupon, it would have been blasted out a long time ago.

"What's so noisy, can you save some snacks?" Zhu Houxi came out and frowned slightly when he saw the confrontation between the two sides, when was this last time, why did these guys come again, he didn't worry at all, did he really think he didn't dare to do it.

As for the Danshu Iron Coupon? What is that, shouldn't the right to interpret this thing belong to the royal family, not to mention holding the Danshu iron coupon, even if you carry Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin, it is not easy to do it, I really thought that he would be afraid of these, and he made him anxious and pouted the imperial tomb.

"The slave and maid knock on Your Majesty, disturb Your Majesty, and hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins." The dark clouds in Lu Fang's heart suddenly dispersed, and his heart suddenly became steady, as long as His Majesty came out, everything would be stable.

"What's going on with these guys?" Zhu Houyu glanced at these guys, they are all old and stubborn, relying on the merits of their ancestors, the scope of Zhu Houyu's attack last time was not in them, mainly in the clan, these guys escaped, now it's okay, they are sent to the door, and they are looking for them.

As for the purpose of their coming, isn't it obvious, it's not that they have moved their cake, and they can't sit still, anyway, the Danshu iron coupon that Lao Zhu gave out is still there, and it is not easy to spread it until now.
