Chapter 334 Memorial from the Ministry of Revenue!

If the body temperature is too high, it cannot come down immediately. There is a process.

High fever does not come up all at once. The human body has an adjustment process, but after taking penicillin, the condition should be slowly brought under control.

Mr. Lu was extremely grateful.

"Go down and let the child have a good rest!" Queen Ma also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Zhu Jun is here today, otherwise, everyone would be in trouble.

Unknowingly, the crazy boy back then became more reliable now.

"You two, please rest for now while I go get the food!" Queen Ma said, and then she took Chang to cook.

The three of them got along well, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not bring up the old issues again.

"I saw the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Accounts. Fengyang's accounts lost hundreds of thousands of taels, but Fang Keqin made up for this loss in his accounts. What does that mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang took out a memorial, which was submitted by Zhou Bin.

, "While losing money, I also took out hundreds of thousands of taels. What do you mean by this?"

This is obviously a question for Zhu Jun. After all, Fang Keqin has only been there for two or three months, and Zhu Jun has been there for half a year.

Zhu Jun was in charge of everything in Fengyang, so he naturally wanted to ask questions.

"The losses have been there before. Needless to say, Xu An and his ilk have enriched their own pockets. In Fengyang, the imperial court has provided a lot of assistance, but the expenses have also been high.

In the early days of disaster relief, I opened Fengyang's granary and government treasury, and the expenditure was only tens of thousands of taels of silver, far less than the loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

In other words, the loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver occurred before Fang Keqin came." Zhu Jun said.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew the clues to this trick, so he was not angry at the first time. He thought of asking Zhu Jun, but Zhu Jun scolded him as soon as he entered the palace.

At the moment, he was calm and not angry, "Are you saying that there were errors in the court's reconciliation a few years ago?"

"Does that need to be said?" Zhu Jun said: "Fengyang's finances are in a mess. They need funding from the court year after year. They can't make ends meet. How can the financial balance be balanced?

If these allocations were really used on the people, the floods would not burst this year."

"Then what happened to the extra hundreds of thousands taels?"

"Borrowed it!"

"Who borrowed it from me?"

"Fine!" Zhu Jun said: "The yamen contacted Prince Wu's Mansion and signed an agreement to repay the debt in ten years. Otherwise, Fang Keqin would have no money or food, and he would not even be able to pay the yamen salary.

Not to mention the development of Fengyang, we can’t even summon people!”

"Asking you to borrow money?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply.

"Dad, let me tell you something from my heart. If you ask me to spend money to benefit the villagers, I won't even blink.

But no matter how capable I am, I can't revitalize the entire Fengyang Mansion by myself.

How many Fengyang mansions are there in this world?

How many places are in need of imperial assistance?

Local development cannot be separated from local efforts, let alone the policy support of the court.

If we want Fengyang to reverse its decline, we must vigorously develop the economy," Zhu Jun said.

Zhu Yu also interjected at the right time: "What Lao Liu said is right, the public is public and the private is private. He still has the Suzaku Army to support and no vassal land for him to collect taxes. It is impossible to invest money all the time.

Go down.

The Zhongdu is the Zhongdu of Daye, not the Zhongdu of Prince Wu’s Mansion!”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and nodded silently. It was good for Zhu Jun to say these words.

Although he would be happy if he took the money from Prince Wu's palace to revitalize Fengyang, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, he had gone to see the mess in Fengyang and reflected on it for a long time after returning.

I regret my hot-headed decision at that time.

Later, Fengyang fell into jail and he did not care about the constraints imposed by various forces.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but it's just a trap.

He wanted to see who was behind it.

Now, he could see clearly and truly.

Zhu Jun surrendered ten chapters with all his strength, and all the people behind him jumped out. Now they were all acting obediently, and he also dealt with them one by one.

But the price is very heavy.

It was just like Zhu Jun scolding him. Apart from being angry, he was also a little frightened deep inside.

I am terrified that I am a hypocritical and selfish emperor.

Zhu Jun's words completely tore off his disguise and exposed him to the sun. The feeling of exposure made him particularly tormented inside.

"What if it's not enough?"

"How come you can't pay it back? As long as Fengyang gets on the right track, he will definitely become the second Yingtian within ten years. It's just a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and he can pay it back casually.

We need more money to develop Fengyang. I just discussed it with my elder brother and asked the court to approve the issuance of Fengyang local debt and let the people buy it with interest.

Borrow the money in the future to help Fengyang develop!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and turned to look at Zhu Yu, "Boss, do you agree?"

Zhu Yu nodded, "This is a good idea. Although some people may impeach you, it is worth a try!"

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not understand the meaning behind this, "You have to think clearly. Once you open this opening, if you open it in other places, will you allow it or not?"

"Special matters are dealt with specially. The importance of Zhongdu cannot be compared with other places!" Zhu Yu said: "In these years, tens of millions of taels of silver have been spent in Fengyang. It would be a pity to end it hastily.

I can only move forward under pressure. If Father feels something is wrong, then let me do it!"

"The issuance of local debt by the imperial court is a helpless act. It should not open the door to convenience, and the amount must be strictly controlled. Otherwise, if debts are rampant and the debt is not repaid, it will severely damage the credibility of the imperial court." Zhu Jun said seriously: "

As for the benefits, I don’t need to say more, it can help the court and local governments save a lot of trouble."

Zhu Jun knew very well that Fengyang issued debt because of him.

Given the virtues of officials like Daye, it is very difficult to improve the local economic level.

For example, the land of Wu is the main source of finance for Daye. This is because the land of Wu is uniquely endowed with dense industries such as silk, tea, and porcelain all concentrated in this area.

And because the water system is developed, it is easy to operate.

But if you ask them to build infrastructure and develop the local economy, it really won’t work.

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. At its peak, the fiscal revenue was just over 20 million taels of silver. There were 100 to 200 million people in the country, and it was just such a small amount of income. Are you sorry?

The key point is that the taxes distributed to the people are still too high.

This is extremely nonsense.

Ming Dynasty had the germination of capital, and these capitals were linked together to shake the officialdom.

Daye is already showing signs of this.

Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent and expressed his acquiescence, "Since Fengyang local accounts and the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts do not match, this account cannot be written off, but the problem is not just this account.
