815 The Imperial Concubine Discusses the Wonders of Foot Binding The Ministry of Household Estimates Mining Revenues

Zhu Qiyu heard that Liaodong had killed 12,000 enemies and lost 6,000 himself, so he nodded noncommittally.

Assuri asked, "Isn't Daddy happy after winning the battle?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I only killed 10,000 people, what is there to be happy about." The enemy has a total of two or three hundred thousand cavalry, and when will this be a head?

I am also inexperienced as an emperor, and I really couldn't imagine that from the Jurchens in the east to the Timurid Empire in the west, the Hulu in the north have reached a consensus, and they have to destroy me.

If you want to become an emperor, it's really not easy.

If I had been given a few more years to prepare, it would have been much more relaxed than it is now. ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu sighed: "At this time, Hami should have been broken early, and Meng Yuan's Taishi Mao Lizi should have already joined forces with several khanates and went to Ningxia."

Then cross the Yellow River and enter the West Loop. The entire Hetao focuses on more than 200,000 enemy cavalry, how do you say this is fought?

It's not good, Agabarzi's grandsons are still thinking about spending the New Year in the Hetao. ”

Qianxue smiled: "That can't be, we will completely cut off the salt tea, what will they take to boil it for a year." ”

"yes, we won't let them eat salt, or it won't be long before they'll be honest.

But I have a hunch that Agabarzi's son is not a worrying man, and if he doesn't get it right, he will show me the whole job. ”

"Bah, crow's mouth, husband, don't say it, in the past ten years, you have been in the middle of what you say, and you want to do whatever you want."

Zhu Qiyu rubbed his arm: "Oh, I feel so cold." It is said that the emperor is so stoic, but in fact, my current mentality is also very fragile. ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "If it rains on a cloudy day, it will naturally be cold." Don't think about these worries, husband, let's eat some new honey this year. ”

"How do you eat it?"

Ning Xiang smiled and stretched out her jade feet.

Zhu Qiyu held the jade foot in his arms: "It won't be wiped on the feet, right?" I know, it will moisturize your skin, and when you're done, I'll lick it clean for you. ”

"That's Daddy Law. Please pick a little honey with your tongue and rub it on your feet. ”

"Okay, okay, whatever the concubine likes, I'll do it, and make sure that the middle palace lady is served comfortably."

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Daddy, Xigong Niangniang also needs to be served." ”

Zhu Qiyu showed a willing expression: "Okay, good, all of you are serving, I am the east, south, west, north, and middle, the queen licking dog of the five palaces."

Treat the emperor as me, there is no ancient, and there is no one after. ”

Zhu Qiyu grabbed ten little feet, and after they were all coated with honey, his tired tongue was numb.

Asa Yuki asked, "Whose feet are the best-looking?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Feng'er's feet are the best-looking, the powder is red, tender and fragrant, and thin and small, slender and graceful, it's really good."

Tianzu can grow like this, it's really the best. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Daddy is rich in five cars, and he claims to know everything, and there are also people who don't understand." This is not a natural foot, and there were also foot bindings when I was a child. ”

"Hey, where's the entanglement?"

Zhu Qiyu took a closer look.

Lin Xiangyu explained: "When I was a child, I wrapped my feet on my side, which made my feet slender, and when I was older, I didn't wrap them, so you couldn't see it."

The gentry who raised thin horses did not all have the same perception of beauty. Some like to wrap the broken bones and make them into three-inch golden lotus. There are also some side wraps, which do not hurt the bones, but this kind of wrapping is more conducive to dancing and riding.

Most of the women of our Ming Dynasty who bind their feet are side-wrapped. If you see a broken bone, it's almost a skinny horse or a prostitute. Serious people, who harmed their daughters so much. ”

"It's not good-looking to fold the bones, the three-inch golden lotus that is folded out is so ugly and terrifying, I really can't understand why they like this kind of thing?"

Lin Xiangyu patted her own and gestured: "A woman with broken bones and bound feet, walks with her heel, and then it will be very powerful here, which can greatly please men, and it will also make women especially fertile." ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "You know a lot, but no matter how good it is, I won't break my own woman's bones." ”

A few people chatted for a long time, and the lightning and thunder roared outside, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

Zhu Qiyu leaned against the window and lay down with several concubines.

The next day, it was still raining.

Zhu Qiyu stayed at home and refused to go out, and Zhu Wenfang was forced to come to Qingyun Hall to go to court.

The ministers went out early in the morning and easily entered the Qingyun Palace, but they saw the prince sitting on the dragon chair.

After saluting, Zhu Wenfang reluctantly smiled and said, "Father has been unwell recently, so tell me something." If there is a major event, you can play the father and emperor in the book. ”

Shen Yi said: "Your Highness, Nanzhili and Zhejiang want to promote the independent selection of gold, silver, copper, and grain to pay land tax this year. ”

Zhu Wenfang said with a smile: "No one should pay taxes with gold, okay, try mixed tax payment." However, it is still necessary to encourage the people to pay mainly in kind.

After all, national strength is determined by physical objects, and a bunch of silver and copper cannot be eaten.

Hey, the way of the economy is really complicated. ”

Shen Yi replied: "This year's gold, silver and copper mining, Japan estimates that it can get 30,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and 5 million taels of copper.

Jiangxi Dexing Copper Mine, about 9 million copper can be obtained. ”

As soon as these words came out, the temple was in an uproar.

The ministers exchanged their heads and ears, and the emperor blew it for many days before, but he didn't expect that now the household department really gave such a high estimate.

Shen Yi added: "This is still an estimate for this year, and Japan is still vigorously exploring new mines. The amount of mining will increase every year in the future.

In five years, we will mint silver and copper a year to the equivalent of 25 million taels of silver.

Silver is actually okay, the output of copper ore is really not small, far exceeding the expectations of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. ”

After receiving this news, the ministers in the palace were not calm at all.

His Majesty the Emperor's expectation of doubling his income seems to be about to come true. And that's not even counting the food revenues of the provinces that have been laid down.

Before, no one could have imagined that the magnates and people of Annan, Burma, Japan, and North Korea would all be obedient to the people.

No one made a fuss, which meant that these provinces could provide a large amount of land tax for the imperial court. Whatever you do the math, this is another additional income worth millions of taels of silver.

The emperor has already done the wealth, if the decisive battle of the Ming and Yuan Dynasty in front of him is completely victorious, then the eternal emperor will really be done.

Zhu Wenfang reminded: "Next year is the tenth year of Jingtai, and it is time to officially check the acres of land and update the yellow book."

During the Hongwu period, there were more than 8.4 million hectares of fields and ponds for grain and grass in the world. So recently, there were only more than 4.28 million hectares left.

I don't know where all the fields have gone, and my father can't figure it out.

In this round of land inventory, it is necessary to re-register the disappeared fields for taxation. ”
