Wait for Zhu Daohua to sit down.

Luo Fangbo began to vomit bitterness, and counted his fingers on how much the Ming court could spend money now.

Truly.

Compared with the Qing Dynasty.

Although the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty was much higher, the expenditure was much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty.

The bulk of the year's expenditures have been made in several areas.

The first is military spending.

In the battle of Jiangxi with the Qing Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, and there was a lot of consumption for people to eat and chew.

At the same time, there are also allowances for wounded soldiers and pensions for fallen soldiers.

In addition to the consumption of guns, artillery, and ammunition for the war, and transportation costs, the employment of hundreds of thousands of civilian auxiliary troops was also pulled from the plate of military expenses.

In addition, the large-scale expansion of the army was completed last year, and the army expanded from 30,000 to 200,000 in one fell swoop.

In addition, there are many green battalion soldiers who have surrendered to Cheng also to be resettled.

In addition, the Ming Navy also has to carry out the reform of ironclad.

It is expected that 20 Wei-class ironclad ships will be built in the early stage.

Count it this way.

The Ming Dynasty's military budget of 6 million Ming Yuan was about to bottom out, and for this purpose it also issued 3 million special war bonds with a ten-year period.

Last year alone, almost 10 million yuan was spent on military spending, 6 million yuan was spent by the treasury, and 3 million yuan was issued by the treasury department.

Then there's the rebuilding of the place.

Jiangxi was basically broken, and within two or three years, every province in Jiangxi had to be financially subsidized by the Ming court, and it was unlikely that the tax collection would be collected.

Besides.

Within this year, it is necessary to take five and a half provinces: northern Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.

North Fujian and Zhejiang are fine.

The damage was not great, and the regimental exercises in these two places were contracted, and the Fujian regimental exercises were contracted to the city of Fuzhou, headed by the Hou Shijia of Jinghai in the Qing Dynasty, with a total number of more than 60,000 people.

Zhejiang's regimental training shrank to Hangzhou, headed by Sun Shiyi, the governor of Qing Tartar Zhejiang, with a total number of more than 80,000 people.

At present, these two cities are mainly besieged but not attacked, and are mainly political offensives.

However, the possibility of using force is not ruled out.

The two places of Yunnan and Guizhou are already poor, and they cannot be expected to get any oil and water from these two provinces.

Hubei and Sichuan were originally rich.

However, it was destroyed by the White Lotus Sect, and the Sichuan regiment training in Chengdu also had to be solved.

If these provinces want to be taken down and stabilized, they will cost at least two or three million Ming Yuan.

If the costs of military spending, local consolidation and reconstruction are compelled to be paid.

Another expense made many high-ranking officials in the Ming court feel that it was a little unnecessary.

These are the two policies that are now being tried by the Ming Dynasty.

One is the policy of "maintaining integrity" and the other is the policy of "showing off talents".

The so-called policy of maintaining honesty means that on the one hand, the Ming court has greatly increased the salary of officials, at least much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that the officials of the Qing Dynasty were greedy, but objectively speaking, if the officials of the Qing Dynasty were not greedy, I am afraid that even the basic life would be a problem.

However, the Qing Dynasty was originally a system in which the Eight Banners and the Han gentry sucked the blood on the ordinary Han people, and everyone happily shared the accounts together, so naturally it didn't matter whether they were corrupt or not.

Moreover, the fact that officials have so many ambiguous problems is also conducive to the imperial court.

But the current Ming court can't do this, because Zhu Daohua wants to develop workers, and what this businessman is most afraid of is bureaucrats.

The prefect who raided the house, and the prefect who destroyed the door.

The merchants of the Qing Dynasty were parasites clinging to the bureaucracy and imperial power, so even though the commodity economy of the Qing Dynasty was very prosperous, it did not develop any capitalism.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua must maintain the integrity of the bureaucracy—of course, it is impossible to completely eradicate it, but at least it is necessary to suppress the greed of the bureaucracy.

The method is also to learn from modern times, that is, to establish a supervision system, a high salary and a pension, and to establish a retirement pension.

The system of oversight includes incumbent oversight and post-departure accountability.

The pension is that if there is no corruption problem after the official retires, he can receive a sum of money every month and he will receive eighty percent of the money in the last official position as a "pension pension".

We will try to suppress corruption as much as possible through the system.

Of course, corruption cannot be eradicated, and human nature is greedy.

High salaries and strict rectification of corruption and corruption, these Luo Fangbo and others all agree.

What makes it quite difficult for them to accept is the policy of "showing talent as officials".

That is, as long as you pass the township test and get the fame of Xiucai, you can get an official.

It is to go to the township and town level to become a local petty official to replace the previous clan and gentry rule below the county level.

This policy was first tried out in Guangzhou.

The effect is not bad.

Corruption, bullying of civilians and the like cannot be said to be absent.

But it's always much better than using officials to govern the people before.

This is the case.

Zhu Daohua can be obtained through the secret agents of Jinyiwei, the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the interviews and reports of the reporters of "Ta Kung Pao" and "Sun and Moon Daily".

And this kind of bureaucracy is relatively incorruptible.

Zhu Daohua also expected it.

Because these people in Guangzhou who can pass the examination are the children of local landlords and businessmen in Guangzhou, who have just become officials, they still have some confidence in their future, and they all hope to be promoted in high school in three years.

If the case is found at this time because of greed for a little money, it will have no future for a lifetime.

In general.

Only when the future is bleak and there is no hope of promotion.

These officials will be ruthless and start to make a big profit.

For example, it illustrates the officials of the two generations of the Qing Dynasty.

These officials are actually part of the bureaucratic system, but they are the eternal bureaucratic bottom, and there is never room for growth.

Therefore, the means invented by these officials to exploit the people and make money are really varied.

Therefore, Zhu Ming's talented officials have just won the office, on the one hand, they have not learned how to make money, and on the other hand, they also cherish their feathers and dare not dare to make money.

In addition, Zhu Ming's system is also a multi-pronged supervision bureaucratic system.

Inside, there is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and outside there is public opinion supervision such as newspapers.

At the same time, there are two new institutions at the local level, the "Commercial Taxation Bureau" and the "Council of Rites".

The former is an organization for the Ming court to discuss commercial taxes with merchants from all over the country, and with this organization, merchants have dealings with the Ming court to some extent, and local officials and officials will weigh a little if they want to bully and exploit businessmen casually.

The latter is a civil discussion structure set up at the central and local levels after Zhu Daohua decided to make ceremonies.

The main members were influential local scholars, wealthy clans, and some Ming soldiers who had retired from their posts due to injuries (these nobles usually had a lowest-ranking gentleman).

This is actually the prototype of the central and local councils of the Ming Dynasty.

And now this agency is more of an opinion-gathering agency.

The gift of the Ming Dynasty is to solicit suggestions and opinions from all walks of life.

Finally, it was summarized to Zhu Daohua, and after Zhu Daohua and his ritual making association discussed, they were stamped with the treasure seal of the Ming King.

Now this agency has begun to operate in various parts of Guangdong.

In addition to the ceremony, it is also open to spectators, which is also a channel for the people at the bottom to speak directly to the heavens.

Unconsciously.

This Zhu Ming Dynasty.

There is even a danger of embarking on the evil road of "parliamentary constitutionalism"!

Under the superposition of these reasons.

Although the vast majority of the bureaucrats of the new Ming Dynasty came from the intellectuals of the Manchu era, the overall bureaucracy was not bad.

Compared to the Manchu Qing, it is clear, I don't know how many times.

It's a lot better than European countries.

The only downside though... It's just too expensive.

A high salary asks for money, and a show asks for money for officials.

This looks like it is about to follow in the footsteps of Zhao Song's redundant officials...,

Guangdong Province is so expensive, the next step is to implement this show in Hunan as an official, isn't it even more unbearable?

"Military spending costs money, raising officials requires money, and now the imperial court's budget for this year is basically going to be spent, and then this Anjing Jiangxi, northern Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces will cost money, and Hunan will also implement the policy of showing talents as officials, and it will cost more money, and this is a place where money is needed."

Luo Fangbo said with a sigh, and then looked at Zhu Daohua. 、

"Your Majesty, you are the richest man in our Ming Dynasty, or... Do you pay some money to fill this hole in the imperial court? ”

When Zhu Daohua heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, although the lonely king has money, but this money is my private, I have to strictly distinguish between public and private, how can I learn to extort money from businessmen at every turn?" ”

"This head can't be opened, and the money of the Ming Dynasty can only come from legal and compliant channels."

Luo Fangbo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

You said that this King Zhu Daming is really interesting.

Are you an ordinary businessman?

You're the King!

The entire Ming court is yours, what's wrong with giving some money?

Zhu Daohua seemed to see what Luo Fangbo was thinking.

He stood up and said, "Zuo Xiang, you must think that this Ming Dynasty is all lone king, so it is natural for me to contribute some money, right?" ”

Luo Fangbo and Ye Daoqi looked at each other and blinked.

Don't... Isn't it?

This is a fallacy, the world is the world of the people of the world, and the so-called world is public. The lone king system, the law, the establishment of order, everyone must respect the courtesy, act according to the etiquette, so that the world can be orderly. The most important aspect of the emperor's return to the emperor, the court's to the court, and the people's return to the people, and the lone king's system of ceremonies is to clarify public and private property rights and property rights. ”

Seeing Luo Fangbo and Ye Daoqi, they were still puzzled.

Zhu Daohua sighed in his heart.

"I see, Your Majesty, what you mean is that your treasury and the treasury of the imperial court are not the same thing, and they cannot be confused." Ye Daoqi said.

"yes, that's pretty much it."

"That's good, the imperial court can issue special treasury bonds, you can buy them with your capital, and you will first issue seven or eight million, the kind that will be repaid in a hundred years..."

Zhu Daohua glanced at Ye Daoqi with slanted eyes.

You're a genius....

This is to treat the lonely king as a sheep.

"Lone King doesn't do business like this, which obviously can't return to the capital." Zhu Daohua said, "However, it is not impossible to issue bonds. ”

Zhu Daohua paced back and forth a few steps.

"In this way, the cabinet first issued a ten-year treasury bond of six million Ming yuan in the name of the imperial court, and King Gu claimed three million, and the other three million were sent to the market in Guangdong.

This is true, who on the ground in Guangdong now doesn't know that King Ming is the god of wealth of the big guys.

Who doesn't make a lot of money if you follow King Ming to do business.

"Also..... Reduce the issuance of Ming Yuan silver coins and increase the issuance of Ming Yuan coupons, and the Lone King will enact a "Banking Law", and the imperial court authorized the Ming Royal Bank to have the right to issue Ming Yuan coupons. ”

"How is this licensing fee calculated?"

Luo Fangbo said immediately.

"According to the amount of banknotes, the imperial court collects the banknote tax on a proportional basis. The amount of banknotes issued should be linked to the amount of reserves absorbed. ”

Zhu Daohua said.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
