Chapter 265: Financial Crisis! Expedition to the Wa Kingdom!
"Your Highness, if Your Majesty knew about this matter, he would definitely be very happy."
The Imperial Study.
After the nations are scattered.
Zhu Yunxi returned to the imperial study and looked at the signatures in different handwriting on the Book of Wanmin and the handprints pressed because he couldn't write.
I was impressed.
Jiang Zhen said on the side: "All the people gather and bow down, this is a feat that countless emperors have not done. ”
"Even Your Majesty, I guess I will be envious."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and didn't say anything.
This is all because the ancient emperors had their limitations and did not really think about the people.
Go and help the people to do practical things!
If you have not gone deep into the people, how can you be admired by all the people?
But Zhu Yunxi will not be complacent about this.
Because all this he has done is nothing more than standing on the shoulders of giants and following behind the great men to do what he has done.
And compared with the great man, he did too little and too little......
If you want to really improve the current situation of the people of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many things to do.
Zhu Yunxi naturally will not be complacent and complacent because of this.
"Grandpa Huang has always been able to understand the essence of things, and I am afraid that I have different views on this matter."
"Ascend to Mien, fight Mi Qiu."
"Lone still has to grasp the amount of it, otherwise under the instigation of people with a heart, if something is wrong, this favor will also become hatred!"
Zhu Yunxi was not deceived by appearances.
Instead, I began to think about the pros and cons.
Naturally, there are benefits, and after this incident, no one can shake Zhu Yunxi's position as the prince.
If anyone dares to grab his position, I am afraid that they will be drowned by the people with a mouthful of spit!
But the downside, if the image of an emperor is too benevolent, it will become wrong!
Grace and power are the truth!
Only when people are grateful and afraid are they the real emperors!
Zhu Yunxi still has a long way to go......
"His Royal Highness is smart and self-taught, and Weichen is really ashamed of himself as ......"
"If Your Majesty knew that His Highness thought like this, he would definitely be more at ease."
Jiang Zhen said from the bottom of his heart.
His Royal Highness Taisun can be regarded as something he has watched grow up little by little, and he is naturally happy to have today.
"Okay, you go ahead and keep an eye on the hundred officials."
"If there's any news, report it immediately."
The biggest use of Jinyiwei now is to keep an eye on the ministers, although the matter of King Qi last time made Zhu Yunxi find out a large number of corrupt officials, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will continue to do it.
After sending Jiang Zhen away.
Zhu Yunxi ordered someone to recruit Yu Xin, the right attendant of the household department.
It is also because of the King of Qi that the previous Hubu Shangshu has been escorted to prison, resulting in the vacancy of the current Hubu Shangshu.
For the time being, it is in charge of the right attendant Lang Yuxin of the household department.
Yu Xin was not born as a Jinshi, but he was recruited as a cloth man, and since the twenty-first year of Hongwu, it has only been a few years, and he has already reached the position of the right attendant of the household department.
It can be seen that his ability is really outstanding.
"Minister, Yu Xin, the right attendant of the household department, has seen His Royal Highness Taisun!"
Soon, a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old walked in.
The body is thin, and the eyes are solid and powerful.
At first glance, it is a capable talent.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Get up." ”
Then he immediately asked: "How is the situation of land reform going in recent days, and there is no problem with the accounts, right?" ”
In the case of land reform, practical operation is very important.
But the above account management is also very important, if you make a mistake, you may end up with a confused account that no one can say.
It is impossible for Zhu Yunxi to let the people bear this loss.
At that time, it will inevitably be another deficit.
"Your Highness, every account is done clearly and clearly."
"The minister has set up a special wooden cabinet to keep the accounts and land deeds in separate categories."
"At the same time, it is also a good backup in case of accidents."
"The minister can guarantee that there will never be any accounts with unknown whereabouts in this land reform, nor will there be any land deeds of unknown origin!"
Yu Xin said solemnly.
The words were sincere and powerful, which made Zhu Yunxi feel more at ease.
"Your ability to get things done. Lonely is reassuring. ”
Yu Xin's ability is indeed undoubted, even Lao Zhu praised him, otherwise it would not be possible to be born in cloth, but he served as the right attendant of the household department in a few years.
This kind of promotion speed is like going to heaven!
"But what Gu is most worried about is the problem of silver two."
"Let's tell the truth, let's see, according to the current situation, can the silver in the treasury be supported until the land reform of Yingtianfu and Suzhou Mansion is completed?"
"If you want to complete the land reform of the entire Ming Dynasty, how much silver do you need?"
Zhu Yunxi asked with a worried expression.
Although he has a rough idea in his heart, Yu Xin is the squire of the household after all, and he must be more aware of the specific situation.
Yu Xin sorted out the wording.
said: "Your Highness. ”
"With the current silver taels of the national treasury, it is more than enough to support the land reform of Suzhou Mansion and Yingtian Mansion."
"Especially in Suzhou Prefecture, there are a lot of official fields, most of which come from family properties confiscated by previous criminal officials, as well as the fields of Zhang Shicheng and Mengyuan official mansions."
"The proportion of private land is not high, and the expenditure is not large."
"So the amount of money needed to be spent is much less than normal."
"The treasury is full, so there is no need to worry about it now."
"It's just...... With the current situation of the national treasury, if you want to really spread the land reform to the entire Ming Dynasty, the silver taels required are almost an unimaginable astronomical amount! ”
"It's hard to measure!"
"Even with the unprecedented abundance of the treasury, it can last for a month or two at most."
"It will be completely bottomed out, and it will not be able to support it."
Zhu Yunxi nodded silently, and roughly understood the current situation in his heart.
In the past, although the amount of silver obtained from printing treasury bonds was large, if it was said that according to the normal situation of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be used up for decades.
After all, Zhu Yunxi put 100 million taels of silver into the treasury just by issuing treasury bonds!
The tax revenue of Hongwu for the whole year of 25 years is only at the level of 10 million taels, of which nearly 9 million taels of taxes in kind are all in kind such as rice and wheat.
There are also several million taels of silver in commercial taxes, which add up to more than 10 million taels.
This is still because Zhu Yunxi reformed the commercial tax before!
So now the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is truly and unprecedentedly full! It is not an exaggeration to say that the treasury is piled up!
But land reform is a real big money consumer!
If you want to complete the land reform completely, you need more silver taels.
Unconsciously, Daming's financial crisis was faintly visible, although it was not obvious, but there were also hidden worries.
"That's a problem......"
Land reform must be carried out!
Can't delay! Otherwise, the more it drags on, the more accidents may occur!
It may even end up being a dead letter!
But land reform requires a large amount of silver, and it is a huge expenditure if it is not advanced for a day!
"At the end of the day, we have to continue to find ways to make money."
Zhu Yunxi grasped the core of the problem.
Lack of money is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing expenditure.
Don't think about throttling now, but you can think of a way to open source.
And the easiest way to get money is nothing more than to issue treasury bonds, and then use them as reserves to continue to print money vigorously.
In this way, won't the money come in an uproar?
But the problem is that Daming has already issued treasury bonds once, and if it continues to issue additional treasury bonds this time, the debt ratio will reach an extremely abnormal ratio.
And I'm afraid that the effect of issuing treasury bonds will not be particularly good......
Because anyone with a discerning eye knows that Da Ming is short of money now, and it is easy to borrow money now, can it be so easy to repay the money in the future?
I'm afraid that everyone will weigh it.
Don't look at Zhu Yunxi's tall image in the eyes of the people.
The image of the imperial court is also excellent.
But after all, it's about money! Ordinary people have always voted with their feet!
Daming doesn't look like he can repay the money, so the people will naturally not lend you money.
However, Zhu Yunxi has a way to solve this problem.
Because at the end of the day, it's just a matter of faith.
Since the people need confidence, then Zhu Yunxi will give them a confidence!
Next.
Morning.
Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yunxi abruptly announced: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore." ”
"The people of the Japanese kingdom have repeatedly invaded the territory of my Ming Dynasty and offended Tianwei! Gu has already decided to send Zheng He, the prefect of Songjiang, to lead the Ming Navy to attack the Wa Kingdom! ”
"One is to punish the Japanese and let them understand their status!"
"The second is the invasion of the Japanese invaders, which has caused a lot of losses to the Ming Dynasty, and I heard that there are many open-pit silver mines in the Japanese country, and I plan to ask them for an account!"
The ministers were stunned.
Land reform in the Ming Dynasty was in full swing.
It's the time when you can't tell the difference.
Everyone's focus is on the territory of Daming, but His Royal Highness Taisun turned his attention to the Wa Kingdom at this time.
It really surprised everyone.
Although the ministers of the Military Affairs Department have always been the main battle, they have urged Zhu Yunxi more than once to take advantage of the current abundant finances to send troops.
But they didn't expect that now was the time for land reform.
Taisun suddenly made the decision to conquer the Wa Kingdom!
"Lan Yu, where is Zheng He now?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Sapphire was named.
hurriedly walked out and replied, "Taisun, Zheng He has gone to sea half a month ago and headed towards Jilong Island. ”
"Now that we count the days, we should have arrived at the chicken coop, and we may even be on the way back."
A few days ago, the Military Affairs Department issued this order, which was personally led by the grandson.
However, Lan Yu, Xu Huizu and others didn't care at that time.
After all, it's just a small chicken coop, not a big target.
But I didn't expect that the chicken coop was just incidental.
The real purpose of the grandson is to conquer the kingdom of the Japanese!
"Well, the Military Affairs Department issued an order and sent it to Songjiang Mansion first."
"When Zheng He returns, he will immediately ask him to conquer the Japanese state."
Zhu Yunxi commanded, and he had no intention of discussing with the ministers at all.
Say one thing, domineering to the fullest!
Then he set his eyes on Yu Xin.
instructed: "Your household department also bothered more, and allocated another sum of money to Songjiang Mansion to purchase the required materials and send them to Zheng He." ”
"To ensure that this expedition to the Japanese country can be smooth!"
Tobe naturally nodded in agreement.
It's just that I am a little curious in my heart, and at this moment, the land reform in the Ming Dynasty is the time when there is a shortage of money.
Yesterday, the grandson was also very worried when he asked him.
But why did you spend such a large sum of money to conquer the Wa Kingdom at this juncture?
You know, when the cannon goes off, it's not bragging.
It's the facts!
The army goes on the expedition and costs the most money!
Even if the navy led by Zheng He is not large, it is the same!
After all...... The shells they need are really expensive!
Xu Huizu is straightforward and fast-talking.
He couldn't help but say, "Your Highness...... If you want to send troops to conquer, instead of crossing the ocean to conquer the Japanese country. ”
"If you send troops to the Northern Yuan, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it will not be a problem to destroy the Northern Yuan!"
Lan Yu couldn't help but nod his head, in his opinion.
The country of Wa is only suffering from ringworm scabies.
Beiyuan is the trouble in my heart!
