Even the emperor can't raid his house endlessly and indefinitely.

Zhu Qiyu's raiding of his own fortune has always revolved around Wang Zhen and his henchmen.

Wang Zhen is a national thief recognized by the government and the opposition, and the purge of Wang Zhen and his party is expected by everyone, without the pressure of public opinion, and will not cause panic among the courtiers.

In addition to the seizure of Wang Zhen's party, there is also the Great Purge in Shanxi. However, all the proceeds of this part of the house were returned to the imperial court, and Zhu Qiyu did not take even a penny of silver from it. The convictions against these people in Shanxi were collusion with Warat, smuggling and betraying the country, and the government and the opposition had nothing to say.

After copying Wang Zhen's last batch of remnants and getting an income of three or four million taels, Zhu Qiyu stopped in time.

It is indeed unseemly for a dignified emperor to always raid his house.

This is really forced to have no choice, Zhu Qiyu transferred the gold and silver to the household department. The largest amount of money in the interior, more than one million taels of gold and silver per year, is gone.

Although the income has been greatly reduced, the army to be supported by the internal treasury has changed from more than 20,000 people in the four guards of the imperial horse prison to the three guards of the Fengtian capital division and the imperial horse supervisor, close to 100,000 people.

So once the throne is a little more stable, Zhu Qiyu is ready to study some profitable deals.

Now the early Ming Dynasty is nearing the end and is about to enter the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The way to get money is just as follows: fields, tea, salt, horses, porcelain, cloth, and then there is foreign trade.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully, as if he only promised to attribute all the profits from Western trade and South Sea trade to the imperial court, and he did not make a promise about the profits of Oriental trade.

If you build an interest group in Shandong with Oriental trade as the core, just like Yuan Keli did in the late Ming Dynasty, you will earn one or two million taels a year, supplemented by the tuntian preparation in the coastal areas of Shandong.

In this way, not only can the family be subsidized, but also another 100,000 descendants can be raised in Shandong.

This is a successful experience, the real capable minister Yuan Keli in the late Ming Dynasty, commanded the chief military officers Shen Yourong and Mao Wenlong, played with this set of trade system, and was able to maintain the siege of Houjin under the condition that the imperial court's finances were stretched.

If Ming Jun is in power, it will be successful if he persists for ten more years.

It's just a pity that Ming Jun is on the opposite side, and the virtuous ministers are also on the other side, and Huang Taiji has the southern governor to fight against Jin and destroy the Ming Metropolitan under the command of Huang Taiji.

As soon as Mao Wenlong died, Yuan Keli's strategy finally collapsed, and it was really fateful.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu nodded vigorously, and said to himself: "The Emperor Taishang is right, if you choose a jinshi, you must choose someone who is majestic and dignified."

At first glance, the temperament is obscene, and it is resolutely not wanted. ”

When the concubines heard this, they cast inquiring glances.

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly waved his hand: "I thought of the things in the court, and sighed casually." You guys are busy, just come and two people to accompany me to the hot springs. ”

Qianxue smiled: "We can't be busy settling accounts, you are wronged, let Ning Xiang accompany her husband alone." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, family affairs are important, then you can be busy." ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu pulled Ning Xiang out.

……

The remaining three months of Jingtai's first year were peaceful.

Zhu Qiyu either takes his favorite concubines to tour the mountains and rivers every day, or sorts out the income from the house. The income from the seizure of more than 4 million taels made Zhu Qiyu's life much richer.

If you have money and leisure, you will naturally have a good life.

During this period, Zhu Qiyu successively sent two groups of envoys to Warat. The first batch was Li Xian and Li Shi, who had served as this drudgery many times, and the second group was a larger-scale welcoming mission led by Yue Zheng and Chen Jian.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second year of Jingtai, the first day of the first month.

The Zhengdan Dynasty was held for the second time.

The Fengtian Temple has burned down, and this court meeting must not be held in the Fengtian Temple. Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear the ministers' hard work, and went to the square of the Qi Palace's mansion to blow the wind and get cold.

Therefore, this court meeting was chosen in the Wenhua Palace.

Although the Wenhua Hall is a little smaller, it can be used for hard squeezing.

This court meeting was limited to civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above. Of course, the exception is the cabinet scholar of the five grades.

There are few officials who participate, so Zhu Qiyu does not insist on any etiquette rules, and people can enter the Wenhua Hall first and wait.

So early in the morning, the Wenhua Hall was crowded with people.

The ministers also cherished this opportunity, after all, in the past year, most people had the opportunity to meet the emperor, at most two or three times.

This is also the first time in a whole year that the emperor left the palace of the king of Qi in the western suburbs and returned to the capital.

While waiting for the emperor, the ministers gathered in groups to congratulate each other on the New Year.

Due to the first year of Jingtai in the past, except for some major events that shocked the government and the opposition at the beginning, everyone was very happy later, so the ministers showed joy and congratulated each other, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

At this time, Yang Shan, the right servant, stood up, drank as a stick, and poured a big scoop of cold water on everyone's heads.

Yang Shan's reason is very simple, the Emperor Taishang is alone at this time, suffering outside the Saiwai, everyone ignores the monarch's father, and is happy here one by one, is it the work of the ministers?

On the New Year's Day last year, Yang Shan had already scolded the civil and military officials once, and he was still the right deputy capital Yushi at that time. I scolded again this year, but now Yang Shan has been downgraded by one level, from the third grade to the right of the fourth grade.

Last year, the Emperor Taishang lacked nothing around him, so he didn't suffer any crimes. This year, there is nothing left by the emperor's side. All the maids, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs were also sent back in advance.

Therefore, the anxiety in Yang Shan's heart is even worse than last year.

The ministers were reluctant to be the boss in their hearts, and if the emperor didn't come back for a day, everyone didn't even have the right to celebrate the festival. But reluctance is reluctance, and everyone can't find a good reason to refute Yang Shan.

However, the ministers had no way to fight back against Yang Shan, but Zhu Qiyu did.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu entered the side hall, he heard Yang Shan shouting there, so he decided to give Yang Shan some color to take a look.

If you are really a loyal minister, then you will go to Wara to serve the emperor.

If you really want to travel thousands of miles to Warat, then I really respect you very much.

The light will be here with empty words of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and it is pure and disgusting.

Zhu Qiyu appeared in the main hall, and when the county officials saw the emperor coming out, they immediately stood in shifts, knelt down together, and shouted long live.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair and smiled at the ministers: "On such a festive day, all Aiqing don't have to be formal, get up quickly, sit down, sit down." ”

Today's court meeting is a bit long, and Zhu Qiyu wants to explain the arrangements for the next year, so he has prepared seats for all the ministers.

When everyone saw that the emperor insisted on doing so, they did not continue to prevaricate.

Hearing that the emperor said that today was a festive day as soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Shan was quite displeased, and was just about to stand up to refute the emperor, when he heard Zhu Qiyu take the lead in asking: "I ordered the rehabilitation of Jianwen's old ministers before, and the Hanlin Yuan Ji Shizhang Pu Ke is among the rehabilitation?" ”
