This kind of operation, which seems very absurd in the eyes of the ministers, is actually carefully considered by Zhu Qiyu.

The income from the internal treasury is allocated to the household department, one of which can play the role of erecting a person for the new monarch and establishing a letter for the new monarch. Let the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world see the emperor's public heart for the country and the people.

Second, we can strengthen the financial resources of the household department and prepare for the next tax reduction and disaster relief.

The war will be fought, and the land sent by Xuanzong and Sanyang will be recovered; But recuperation should also be carried out simultaneously.

If you want to grasp it with both hands, and both hands must be hard, then you must limit all kinds of extravagant behaviors of the royal family.

Touching his conscience, he said that in the years that Zhu Qizhen was in power, he did not do a good job in terms of daily expenses: neither overhauled the palace nor indiscriminately rewarded and sealed it. Whether it is the concubines in the palace or the family members of the concubines, compared with the previous dynasties, the treatment is relatively poor.

However, Zhu Qizhen was only thrifty, but he was completely conscious, and did not reform the system.

What Zhu Qiyu wanted to do was to completely separate the internal expenses from the imperial court, and greatly reduce the personnel of the inner court to reduce the expenses of the imperial family.

Then the money saved will be used to strengthen the country and support the people.

The ministers are very supportive of this, and even if the money does not go into their own pockets, the ministers can still get benefits.

After all, when you reach the level of the top Wenchen, it is not only about money, but also about power and fame.

If you can really work together, Zhongxing Daming. The ministers present can not only rely on their political achievements to firmly consolidate their current position, but also gain the reputation of Zhongxing famous ministers even after their deaths.

With so many benefits, why not.

After chatting about this, Zhu Qiyu planned to disperse and go back to the room to continue playing with women. Now a large number of his cronies have gone out on an expedition, and they have taken most of their guards with them.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu felt that it was better to stay in the house obediently, and only by waiting for the 20,000 battalion state guards guarding the Bauhinia Pass to complete the task of guarding the pass and enter Beijing to garrison him could he regain his sense of security.

Now there are only 5,000 guards in Zhao Xuan's Yingzhou in the capital, more than 5,000 soldiers left behind by Hao Yi's imperial horse guards, and a total of 10,000 troops in the emperor's descendants.

Fortunately, from Emperor Taizong to Emperor Chongzhen, the nobles and generals did not seem to have openly rebelled.

Moreover, the armies that were not descendants of the emperor were basically all incorporated into the eastern, western, and central armies, and they went thousands of miles to fight.

Once there is an abnormality in the capital, Hao Yi's four guards will immediately rush into the palace and imprison the queen mother, queen, crown prince, and prince all in one go.

So now the garrison in the capital is empty, the emperor is afraid, and the queen mother is also afraid. It's called a hemp stick beating a wolf, and both ends are afraid.

And Zhu Qiyu controls 10,000 regular troops, has a righteous name in hand, and has a huge prestige that has just been established, so he is obviously more advantageous.

This can be regarded as a small temptation and test for political enemies, if someone really dares to rebel, just take advantage of the situation to help Empress Dowager Sun get rid of dignity, it would be good if she was martyred in the rebellion.

Seeing that the emperor got up and was about to go back to the room, Chen Xun hurriedly asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, now that the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the Dongchang Admiral have gone to Wuqingbo to supervise the army, the Dongchang and Jinyi Guards are unsupervised, and there are fears that there are spies in the city. ”

This question is really a test, Zhu Qiyu sat back when he heard this.

The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is very strict, and the Wara spies may not have much energy to make trouble, Chen Xun's words are more to test the emperor's attitude towards Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

The ministers were especially afraid that the emperor would build a factory guard.

However, Zhu Qiyu really has no such plan, not only will he not reuse Dongchang and Jinyiwei now, but even if the throne is stable and powerful in the future, he does not plan to make the factory and Wei too prosperous.

The factory guards of the Ming Dynasty have three roles: defending the royal family, reconnoitring and arresting, and edicting and interrogating.

In terms of defending the emperor, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are a bunch of waste. Torture and torture of civil servants, Zhu Qiyu has no such plans.

For Zhu Qiyu, the role of the factory guard is one: reconnaissance and arrest, and monitoring the place.

Yes, it is to monitor the place, and the capital has other arrangements, so they don't need to monitor.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu replied: "Let Shuntianfu maintain law and order, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei should not move." After the war, I planned to gradually relocate some of the Jinyi guards to guard Nanjing, but there were too many officers and troops in Beijing, and the pressure on Caoyun was too great.

I also have to recast the Great Wall defense line in the north, which is quite expensive, so I can't waste all my money and food on feeding idlers. ”

Hearing the words 'idler', the ministers were relieved. The emperor originally looked at Dongchang and Jinyiwei like this, so everyone had a bottom in their hearts.

This is really Zhu Qiyu's heart, and the basis for Zhu Qiyu's doing this is: In the wonderful Ming Dynasty, if you are undecided, you have to learn Jiajing.

Jiajing and Wanli did not believe in heavy factory guards, but were the two longest-reigning emperors. It can be seen from this that the reuse of factory guards does not make the emperor safer.

Suppressing the factory guards did not make the emperor live a short life.

At this time, the Wenchen was not very successful, as long as he survived the change in the civil fort and kept the military power from falling into the hands of the military department. Zhu Qiyu had no intention of purging the Wenchen in the capital on a large scale, even if he wanted to start a war with the Wenchen, it would be a matter for the successor emperor.

A generation does a generation's thing, and Zhu Qiyu's task now is to wipe his ass clean for Xuande and orthodoxy.

This is the emperor's last resort, and he has to wipe it even if he endures nausea. Even if the predecessor is a bastard, the current emperor can't pick and choose.

Not only must you rub Xuande and orthodoxy, but even Taizu and Taizong's must also be rubbed.

So Zhu Qiyu instructed: "The cabinet has drafted an order, from now on, stop the printing and issuance of Daming treasure banknotes, and make a formal explanation to the provinces, vassal kings, and subject countries." ”

When Chen Xun heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, after the abolition of the Daming treasure banknotes, what should I do with the treasure banknotes that are now in circulation?" Although the treasure banknotes are basically no credit at all, and the transaction value is extremely low, it is still likely to cause turmoil if it is abolished.

After all, these treasure banknotes may not be nothing to the rich, but for the poor people, the sudden invalidation of the treasure money is also a big loss. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked inexplicably: "Who said that the treasure money will be invalidated?" I didn't know what I just said, but it was to stop the printing and issuance of new treasure banknotes.

Old banknotes can still be circulated. Since it is easy to cause misunderstanding, then you clearly write it in the edict, and the imperial court will spend ten years gradually recovering the treasure money.

When the people pay taxes, they can use treasure money to offset 20% of the tax amount every year. This policy will continue for ten years, after which it will be completely abolished. ”

Chen Xun asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't this a disguised tax cut for the people?" And it will last for ten years, will the court be able to eat it? ”

Zhu Qiyu teased: "Returning the benefits to the people, recuperating and recuperating, isn't this what Renxuan did in the prosperous world, I am just following in the footsteps of Emperor Xuanzong."

Go ahead and do it, I'll get you money from somewhere else, and it's without touching the interests of the majority. ”
