Chapter 172: Let the silver flow between the treasury and the people

"The minister is terrified."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

At this time, Zhu Yijun glanced at the top of Zhang Juzheng's increasingly sparse and pale head.

He knew that by doing this, he had higher requirements for Zhang Juzheng and made him more tired.

After all, according to Zhang Juzheng's original choice, it was to kill these displaced people directly when they became chaotic people.

That is undoubtedly very simple, and there is no need to offend the gentry.

And now, just because we want to benefit these displaced shantytowns, to take precautions, and to treat these displaced people in a civilized manner, we have to use our brains to set up a new series of systems to guard against the selfish side of human nature, and at the same time to instigate the local gentry to be willing to do so, we must also supervise them, so as to prevent them from taking money and not doing things, and also to prevent them from not only being ungrateful but also eating the court after they are supported.

In this way, Zhang Juzheng will undoubtedly work harder than in history, and he will also have to bear greater mental pressure.

You must know that letting these displaced people live in peace means preventing the local gentry from exploiting them, increasing the workload of the local bureaucrats, and undoubtedly offending a large number of people.

How does this not make Zhang Juzheng more tired in this life?

Zhu Yijun instinctively felt a little unbearable in his heart.

But Zhu Yijun knew that if he didn't show such diligence and love for the people, it would not be what Zhang Juzheng was willing to see.

Therefore, it can be said that this is also Zhang Juzheng's own choice.

Zhu Yijun has also been respecting his choice as an assistant minister and teacher.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yijun felt a lot more unbearable in his heart, and continued to concentrate on following his heart.

That night, Zhu Yijun slept late and did not let the queen come to the Qianqing Palace, because he read Zhang Juzheng's detailed rules very late, and also remarked many ideas.

So much so that when he lectured in the Wenhua Hall the next day, he yawned.

Zhang Juzheng did not frown because of this, revealing his dissatisfaction.

He could guess why the emperor was suffering from lack of sleep, and he even wanted to persuade the emperor not to rely on his youth to stay up so hard, to combine work and rest, and it was not good to be too diligent in government, not to be at his age, he had to take drugs to reproduce children, and he had to stand on his feet a little longer to relieve his hands, and his neck was slightly lowered, and he was tired and wanted to break his head and neck.

"I agree with all the chapters proposed by the gentleman, but I also add some more."

"In other words, there should be another research institute to analyze the feasibility of various projects and businesses that have invested money to benefit the people, so that they can conduct a viable analysis of the feasibility of various projects and industries that have invested money for the benefit of the people."

"After all, this money law is easy to do, and it takes some expertise to do it well, and Wang Anshi is not good enough in this area, so something went wrong."

"This institution is called the Royal Academy, and it is the same as the Hanlin Academy, which belongs to the place where I am a reserve of talents, and the cabinet recommends some professionals who understand the knowledge of the world and the people to this institution to study this kind of knowledge and check for the imperial court."

"As for the official office responsible for rejuvenating the country and enriching the people, and asking for appropriations from the imperial court, it is set up as the branch of rejuvenating the country and enriching the people, and it is usually called the branch of the degree."

"The degree branch division is set up in the cabinet, and a cabinet minister concurrently serves as the degree branch secretary and the degree branch minister, and two deputy envoys are set up, and the rank of household minister is added, and then each room is set up, and each room is placed in charge of the Lang official."

….

"Let the local governors set up sub-divisions in their official offices, with a political envoy and a sub-sub-commission."

"By analogy, the prefecture and county should have it."

"As for the schools that cultivate all kinds of specialized talents, they will be cultivated by the Xingming Academy, which is run by the Inner Court."

"Sir, and the intention is to spread the word to the world, Xingming Academy will carry out reforms, select all kinds of talents from all over the world to teach in the school, and also let the Ministry of Rites recommend them, and the clan and relatives can also recommend them."

"By the way, I found that the prince of King Zheng, the emperor's uncle, was very good at arithmetic, almanacs, and acoustics, so I immediately summoned him to Beijing."

"He and Xu Wei are in charge of the Royal Academy and Xingming Academy, and the emperor is in charge of arithmetic, almanac, astronomy, water conservancy, and construction

and so on, the knowledge that is deduced and found in nature even if no one exists;

"Let Xu Wei be in charge of historiography, money law, education, etc., and the study of phenomena related to human social activities in the world."

Zhu Yijun talked to Zhang Juzheng in the west room of the Wenhua Hall during the lecture, and he put forward his edict after reading Zhang Juzheng's request on the construction of the relevant system for the emperor and the imperial court to invest in benefiting the people.

Zhang Juzheng said yes after hearing this.

"The inner treasury will temporarily take out one million taels of silver for the purpose of rejuvenating the country and enriching the people, and how much the outer treasury can take out will be discussed by the cabinet and the household department."

"Then he will issue an order to set up a branch department, and the gentleman can first spread the news that the treasury and the inner treasury are going to contribute money to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, so that some industrial and commercial gentry in the world will be dissatisfied with the official gentry's integrated payment of grain and errands to the desire to share the great benefits of the imperial court."

"As for how much money to invest and how much to spend, I will talk about it after Mr. and Yousi discuss it."

Zhu Yijun continued at this time.

Zhang Juzheng was busy praising the order.

Zhu Yijun did this, which is equivalent to taking out a part of the treasures and goods collected by himself, the emperor and the imperial court, and the internal and external treasury accumulated over the years, and redistributing them, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to cut off a piece of cake and let the people below share it.

The reason for this is naturally not that Zhu Yijun dislikes a lot of money, but that he knows that only when this capital is flowing, can it stimulate productivity, increase social wealth, make the cake bigger, and then feed back to the internal and external treasury, so that the domestic and national funds not only do not have to invest because of the money, but have increased a lot, and it is also a reason to come up with technology.

After all, Zhu Yijun could not learn from many landlords, but only knew that he buried the collected goods on the ground or put them in the warehouse, and did not let them flow, so that the entire social productive forces could not be developed, and caused the goods to flow upwards all the time, which would sooner or later cause the bottom goods to dry up and eventually cause accidents.

Zhu Yijun needs to let money flow between the interior, the state and the people in order to create more goods.

"A million taels?!"

The cabinet ministers, and Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household department who was invited to the cabinet by Zhang Juzheng, could not help but feel refreshed after hearing Zhang Juzheng say that he had asked the emperor for permission to support industry and commerce, to achieve the goal of rejuvenating the country and enriching the people, and to solve the problem of the survival of the landless and displaced people.

Wang Guoguang couldn't help but stand up first and asked again.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and asked Zhang Xueyan: "Dasi Nong roughly estimates, how much silver can be taken out from the outer treasury to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people?"

….

Zhang Xueyan pondered for a while, then got up and replied: "For the sake of prudence, you can first take out two million taels to try, if you can really rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, then let all localities report some industrial and commercial things that can rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, and then according to whether the report is profitable and safe, you can add another three million taels."

One million taels of silver plus two million taels of silver is already a big cake.

What's more, there will be an additional three million taels later.

You must know that the demand for cotton cloth in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty is the bulk of the domestic demand market in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the largest demand for cotton cloth in this era, and it is just a cake worth two million taels.

And now, the imperial court wants to come up with an investment worth three million taels, and let the people of the world share the three million taels and the benefits brought by the three million taels.

There will even be an additional three million taels.

Although only a few cabinet ministers and Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household department, know about it, they are also a little excited.

"Then first tentatively set up three million taels of funds for rejuvenating the country and enriching the people, and the cabinet will issue orders to the governors and governors, so that they can each play what can be done in their jurisdiction to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, and there are factories, workshops and industries to support, and all the factories and industries to be supported."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Guoguang as he spoke: "Ruguan, you come to draw up this order!" Money and finance, you are the best at it, although Ziwei and I, Ti Qian, and Ru Mo are all rich in business, but I am all from Hanlin Cichen, and I am inferior to you in this regard, so I can only be prepared by you."

"In addition, the servant has recommended you to be the head of the branch of Ruguan, and you will have to replace Your Majesty in the future

and the imperial court to spend this money to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people."

After Zhang Juzheng said, Wang Guoguang hurriedly threw his hand and said, "Don't worry, uncle, Your Majesty and the court really want to take three million taels of silver to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, and then the contemptible people will return Your Majesty and the court to a more prosperous Ming!"

Wang Guoguang is indeed one of the few financial figures in the Ming Dynasty officials in history.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng will say that he is more suitable for developing the national economy than a few of them.

Zhang Siwei and the others were all disappointed because of this.
