"Another 2 million taels of domestic money will be allocated to the Ministry of Households for disaster relief!
Exempt Henan from this year's Liao's salary, and exempt Guangyuan from taxes for three years, I would rather be poor than suffer the people!
”Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and then replied."
Your Majesty's benevolence can show the sun and the moon!"
Wang Yingjiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said sincerely.He knew that letting the emperor pay for the silver would definitely make the emperor unhappy, but he couldn't help it, when he thought of the people affected by the disaster, and saw that His Majesty the current emperor was so generous, he couldn't help but want to ask for disaster relief silver for the people.So far.The four Shangshu, who originally wanted to show the emperor the financial difficulties of the imperial court, did not expect to receive a large amount of internal allocation, which greatly improved the financial predicament of their own departments.After Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, returned to the ministry, Xu Shilin hurriedly asked him: "How is it, Da Sima, the four Shangshu have successively talked about the lack of wealth in the imperial court, has Your Majesty given up the strategy of supporting Xiong Tingbi's Liao affairs?"
”Zhang Heming laughed: "No, Your Majesty directly allocated a large amount of money to the four ministries, and our military department will have nearly six million taels!"
”Xu Shilin was quite disappointed after hearing this, and said: "This didn't make the emperor give up supporting Xiong Tingbi!"
”"Who made Your Majesty quite generous now, he just copied some homes, and the foundation after the temple collected the mining tax is still there!
But it's hard to say in the future, the emperor should not have much money to train and raise too many factory guard eagle dogs, the old man is inconvenient to come forward directly and say clearly, you say hello to the bottom, the drifting drift, the emperor doesn't have much money now, he doesn't dare to break with our civil officials, naturally he won't let the factory guards investigate, otherwise, our civil officials will be forced to be anxious, and the world's grain will be given a card, what will he get to pay the military salary, can he still take out millions of internal funds?
!
”After Zhang Heming said with some negative anger, he secretly said to himself: "The emperor's silver is not earned, and it is not earned in vain!"
Anyway, the country is not mine!
Who made you, a tyrant, not take our civil officials seriously!
Do we need civil officials to govern the country, can we do it without giving some benefits, just by giving some money?
”"Late students understand!"
Xu Shilin replied and laughed.Neither of them took the ink greed too seriously.After all, corruption is already a common phenomenon for Ming officials.What's more, the Ministry of War is in charge of the promotion and selection of military ministers, and also manages the military salary, so even if the civilian officials of the military department are greedy for military salaries, the military attaches below do not dare to make trouble.......
"Emperor!
From the point of view of slaves and maids, the civil officials of foreign dynasties are ill-intentioned, obviously asking for silver for the people and the officers and soldiers, but in fact, they want to force the emperor to change his mind, so that the emperor will not be able to train as a soldier!
”Wei Zhongxian waited for these ministers to leave before he gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Youxiao as a sign of loyalty.Zhu Youxiao said with a serious face: "I heard that the rule of the Ming Dynasty is very bad now, the phenomenon of greed for ink is very serious, and the military salary will be reduced by two or three percent before it leaves the capital, or even directly reduced by half.When the time comes, they will be able to earn it back, even more, and they won't blame me for not teaching me when the time comes!
”"Slave obeys!"
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied immediately, he naturally knew what kind of goods the officials in the world were, and it was not difficult to find out.......
"The princes of the DPRK and the Central Committee have gone too far, and if they want so much internal money, it is inevitable that there will be major corruption cases in the future, and Your Majesty is not without a way to make money now, so he naturally dares to fight with the officials of the world!"
”After reading the Di newspaper here, Sun Chengzong immediately came to the yarn factory and asked his confidant Xu Yue: "What do you say about the Western Fan, how much cotton yarn can they swallow?"
”It was Xu Yue who set up a government-run cotton yarn factory in Songjiang and Shanghai for Sun Chengzong.It is impossible for Sun Chengzong to open a cotton yarn factory directly in Jiangnan.That will affect his official reputation, and it will be easy for people to be impeached for a crime of stealing profits from the people, and it will also easily arouse the vigilance and disgust of the local gentry.Therefore, Sun Chengzong only hired Xu Yue, a member of his clan, as his own staff through Xu Guangqi's recommendation, and then Xu Yue set up a government-run cotton yarn factory in Shanghai.It is claimed that the newly built yarn factory is the industry of the Xu family.The yarn factory is also called Xu's yarn shop.And because Xu Yue received Xu Guangqi's instructions, he also knew that this was a matter of bringing wealth to his Xu family, so he was naturally very positive.At this time, after Sun Chengzong asked, Xu Yue hurriedly replied: "They say that they will collect as much yarn as we spin. ”Sun Chengzong was quite surprised when he heard this: "Really?
”"That's right!
You don't know, these Westerners are all very generous, to my Ming cotton yarn, raw silk, porcelain, tea is to buy as much as you want, their silver seems to be inexhaustible, according to the students inquired about it, they are actually pirates, in these places in the Americas robbed a lot of gold and silver!
So there is so much money that I have to worry about how to spend it!
Last year, we only bought our yarn worth three million taels is still a small amount, these years they don't seem to be very peaceful, so there are fewer boats, a few years ago, our major gentry in Jiangnan did a bigger deal with them, otherwise there wouldn't be so much silver to make a whip for Zhang Wenzhenggong, right?
”After hearing this, Sun Chengzong said: "That is the case, your Xu family will recruit another group of yarn workers, you must be honest and not smart and have a reliable family background, it is best to be from your clan, do a good job of secrecy measures, in addition, don't tell them that they are making profits for the imperial court, just say that your Xu family wants to expand the industry, do you expect to increase the yarn profit?"
”"Although there are fewer ships to come recently than in previous years, students can personally take the boat to Batavia City (Jakarta) and Hao Jing (Macau), Hongmaofan and Furangji in these two places to build a city and trade, where there are many Western merchants, but most of our merchants are reluctant to go, they are waiting for them to come to receive the goods, mainly because of the large cost on the road, they also charge tariffs, but we can go, after all, a yarn worker in our yarn factory operates eight spindles at the same time, and the cost is much lower than that of other cotton yarn merchants.
If we bring goods here, we can make money even if we throw away the tariffs and expenses on the road, and when the time comes, we can increase the number of sari to the imperial court to six million!
However, if our Xu family does not accept native yarn, but only accepts the cotton yarn of the imperial court to go to sea, we can increase the profit of another two million taels, and if we reduce the price of yarn, we can let the Western Fan only accept our yarn, so that it will be more!
Fuchen, not a student vainly, our yarn factory is now one person can operate eight spindles at the same time, and the cost is one of the eight yarns produced by other yarn merchants. ”Xu Yue spoke, looking at the rapidly rotating row of spindles in front of him with excitement.Sun Chengzong knew that Xu Youming was saying that the price reduction could make the imperial court greatly profit, but in fact, he also wanted his Xu family to get more profits.But Sun Chengzong did not agree, only said: "Tu yarn, you have to continue to collect, so as not to bankrupt the small people who make a living from spinning, anyway, the West side doesn't collect as much as it takes, and don't talk about the price of yarn first, otherwise, although your Xu family is a local family, but if you really let other gentry have no money, they won't allow your Xu family!"
Don't kill them all unless you have to. ”Xu Yue nodded: "What Fuchen said is, students remember!"
”Then, Xu Yue asked: "Give the court that is your majesty's share of Lili, do you want the students to let people allocate a little more in the name of running a yarn factory to your name in Fuchen?"
