Moreover, business warfare is also about the speed of war. If the grain ships of the Ming maritime merchants poured into the ports of Japan, the household would have nothing to earn.

Sure enough, without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to finish thinking about it, Shen Yi proposed to maintain shipping control and temporarily monopolize the business of selling grain to Japan to the imperial court.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, this time the Great Warring States Treasury also consumed a lot, and now it is normal for the household to return to blood.

Without waiting for others to speak, Zhu Qiyu took the initiative to order: "Inventory the land population and update the yellow book, I have been pressing this matter for several years."

This year, Japan will be defeated, and next year the prefecture will be adjusted to complete the migration of the population.

The year after that, that is, the tenth year of Jingtai, the land population was inventoried and the yellow book was updated. ”

No one has an opinion on this, the Yellow Book is updated every ten years, and in recent years, because the territory has expanded too rapidly and the population has changed frequently, so it has been pressed for several years.

After the defeat of Japan, the densely populated places within a radius of thousands of miles basically belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

It's also time for a thorough population and land inventory.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zhu Qiyu added: "Didn't the three major halls of our Forbidden City burn down, and I don't want to rebuild it at the expense of the people."

Japan has an abundance of gold, silver, and copper mines, and I mean that they are shipped back to Kyoto, minted into silver coins, and circulated throughout the country.

As for the gold mines, I plan to mint them into gold coins and build a large vault on the site of the temple to store them.

These coins are called reserves, and they are easily unusable. When the imperial court encounters a major difficulty, it will be activated for emergency relief.

With the strength of the national strength of this dynasty, it should not be of much use. Think of it as a backup for your children and grandchildren. ”

Unexpectedly, the important ministers didn't think much about it, and shouted in unison.

Zhu Qiyu was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood: the benefits obtained from the capture of Japan were shared by the imperial court. The emperor just wants to dispose of the gold mines he obtains, and it would be too much for the minister to oppose it, so he can't let the emperor touch anything.

Besides, the emperor only wants to store this gold and leave it for future generations to use, which is also considered public, not that the emperor wants to squander it himself.

The important ministers touched their consciences, and they still felt a little sorry for the emperor, after all, they didn't even build a mausoleum, and it would be too obvious to be disloyal and unrighteous to block the emperor everywhere.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Qiyu gave specific instructions: "Then immediately start the construction of the warehouse, funded by the internal government, and jointly built by the internal government supervisor and the Ministry of Industry, using white marble for materials, not wood, to prevent fire."

After completion, one gate, six locks. The celebrant supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the internal official supervisor, the Ministry of Industry, the household department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate each hold a key.

The opening of the treasury requires the approval of the emperor or the crown prince himself, and the six prisons and courtyards jointly open the lock. ”

The ministers have no opinion, the emperor can do whatever he likes, and it is good to be solemn and cautious.

What people don't expect is that Japan's largest gold mine, the Ryokari Gold Mine, can produce 30,000 taels of gold every year. The second largest gold mine, Sado Gold Mountain, can produce about 10,000 taels of gold per year.

These two mines alone produce 40,000 or 50,000 taels of gold every year.

Daming now has about one tael of gold to fifteen taels of silver.

40,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for 600,000 taels of silver, and in just 20 years, the value of the gold in the reserve will exceed 10 million taels of silver.

And that's not even counting the production of other gold mines.

Silver and copper as circulating currency, and gold for children and grandchildren as strategic reserves, is a plan that Zhu Qiyu set from the beginning.

It's just a lack of information, and when the officials realize how huge Japan's gold reserves are, it's too late to regret it.

The ministers were no longer entangled in this question, and He Wenyuan stood up and asked: "Holy Lord, the palace examination has ended, how will the new science and technology scholars be awarded, and how will the subordinate officials of the Zhan Mansion be selected, please show the Holy Lord." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I mean, the subordinate officials of the Zhan Mansion in Nanjing are also the same as the Zhan Mansion in Beijing, which is completely matched." The two Zhan Mansions, one south and one north, are all subordinate officials of the prince, and they must assist the prince wholeheartedly. What do Zhong Aiqing think? ”

When everyone heard this, they all praised the saints. In this way, the number of princes' vassals has been doubled, and more people can benefit.

As long as the emperor is not afraid of the prince's power, the courtiers naturally have no opinion.

Next, Zhu Qiyu ordered Wang Wen to be the Zhan Shi of the Beijing Zhan Shifu and He Wenyuan to be the Shao Zhan Shi.

Zhou Chen went south and served as the Zhan Shi of the Nanjing Zhan Mansion; Zhou Xuan was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department and went to Nanjing to concurrently serve as the Shao Zhan of the Zhan Mansion.

Zhu Qiyu instructed: "In the past two years, there have been many things in the south, such as taking stock of land and population, and updating the yellow book; opening the sea ban and resuming trade between the East and the West; There is also the construction of water conservancy and the rectification of water transportation.

When you two important ministers go south, not only to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment that you are in charge of, but as scholars of Wuyingdian University and Dongge University, you have to take on all aspects of responsibility. ”

Zhou Chen and Zhou Xuan happily accepted the order.

The monarch and the ministers communicated with the military and political affairs again before disbanding the court meeting.

Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry to go home, but led Zhu Wenfang to visit his garden.

Zhu Wenfang said with a smile: "What is the strange thing in the Lingyu Palace, why does my father not go out for more than ten days, and his qi and blood seem to be getting better and better." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked: "I said that I am twenty years old this year, do you believe it?" ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded firmly: "Faith, Daddy looks really similar to Xinke Tanhualang Qiao Feng, he is not yet twenty years old."

If Daddy has a beard, he can look a little older.

Now like this, isn't he just a little monk of the fairy wind bone. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "There are hot springs in the Lingyu Palace, just soak in them every day." Didn't Ling Shi Niang let Pei Dang go to Wanshou Mountain to dig the pit, Wanshou Mountain and Yuquan Mountain are so close, it makes no sense that only Yuquan Mountain has hot springs, but there is no one on Wanshou Mountain.

Wait for Wanshou Mountain to dig out the hot springs and build you a house to live in. ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded.

Zhu Qiyu instructed again: "Recently, the Jingshi is also going to carry out some reforms, you have to pay more attention to it." Beijing Zhan Shifu, the top four people are there.

Zhan Shi is the first assistant Wang Wen, and the young Zhan Shi is the second assistant He Wenyuan.

Next, Huang Pu, a scholar from Chunfang University on the left, and your master from Chunfang University on the right.

After I ascended the throne, Xuanfu and Huailai were included in Beizhili, and Beizhili changed from the original eight prefectures to ten prefectures. I also set up Jing Zhaoyin to govern the ten prefectures of Beizhili, which is equivalent to the governor of Zhili.

But in the future, Jing Zhaoyin will be held by Zuo Chunfang University Scholar, or Zhengwupin, which is called a humble power.

The government affairs of Ganquan Palace are fixed to be held by the scholars of Youchunfang, which is also a lowly authority.

The scholars of Zuo Chunfang University and the scholar of Right Chunfang University are all the direct henchmen of your prince.

I've built the team for you, you study hard and work hard.

When you reach the age of fifteen, you will be officially the prince of the prison state, and I will not get together with these ministers if you have nothing to do. ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded, and asked again: "What reform does Daddy want to do in Beijing?" ”

Zhu Qiyu explained: "In the past few years, the number of craftsmen in Beijing will skyrocket. In the past, the capital and its surroundings were mostly engaged in trading and farming.

In the future, craftsmen will be in the majority. People have changed, and management ideas have to change with them.

You have to remember that managing a peasant is not the same as managing a worker.

There is a more important point, after you become an emperor and handle the military and politics alone, you can neither close yourself off from the country and rest on your laurels, nor can you pursue the development and expansion of the handicraft industry too much.

It is necessary to move forward little by little, and we must not only develop, but also not take too big steps.

Once the handicraft industry expands too quickly and has too much influence, people's thinking will change, and the social atmosphere will also change.

If we rashly allow technological progress to take too big a step and change our thinking too quickly, it will be extremely difficult for the people to rule, public opinion will become extremely unstable, and even great changes will occur. ”
