Chapter 429 Li Shanchang: I have good laws that can solve the problem of the national treasury
Mu Ying and Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty went to Yunnan to conquer Yunnan. During this battle, Mu Ying served as the vanguard and destroyed the Yuan Dynasty Liang Wang's camp Zala Walmi, surrendered to the Duan family in Dali, and pacified Wusha, Dongchuan, Jianchang, and Mangbu.
The barbarians and the chieftains.
The time it took to obtain so many military exploits was actually just a few months. When it comes to military exploits, they are many times better than those of Zhu Su and others who were struggling in Jizhen. At this time, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty was rising outside.
A new generation of generals.
Of course, Zhu Su is not just happy because his brother who did his best has achieved great success. What is more important is that there are many forests in Yunnan and Guizhou. If he wants to develop the shipbuilding industry in a short time, such a natural timber base is absolutely perfect.
Indispensable.
I want to know, before lighting up the technology tree of ironclad ships, if you want to build sea ships, you must have giant trees. With Yunnan, after acquiring Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty will have an almost inexhaustible supply of giant trees. With Yunnan,
It is equivalent to the first leg card that started the Ming Dynasty's Age of Discovery, and it is already ready.
Zhu Su couldn't wait to see the Ming Dynasty's loyal fleet taking the American continent to the east and the Australian continent to the south. Countless Ming caravans dumped countless tea and silk all over the world, making that planet stand out among all the
Humanity has all experienced the power of Chinese civilization...
Wow, Zhu Biao soon poured cold water on Zhu Su who was caught up in his imagination:
"Well, whether it is a great victory for both the north and the south is good or not, but whether to reward the three armies is also a big problem."
"It's not easy for me to be a father. If the army is about to return tomorrow, where can I raise enough silver..."
"...Is the hole in the treasury actually that big?" Zhu Su was stunned for a moment.
…
At this time, in Jinshen Hall, as Zhu Biao said, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing with several close ministers how to increase the state's use.
Logically speaking, although the imperial court in the early years of Hongwu was in dire straits, it was generally showing a trend of improvement. The taxes received by the country were increasing every year, so there should not be such a sudden change.
Only when insufficient application occurs.
But because of the appearance of Zhu Su, Lao Zhu, who was originally quite satisfied with the development of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly felt that no one was waiting for him. Once he learned that the Ming Dynasty had a life span of more than two hundred years, and his own
In the Hongwu Year, there were less than thirty years left in the East.
Erfou knew that many of his policies towards the East were of no use to the Ming Dynasty in the end. The national policies such as "military household" and "vassal king" that he personally formulated were several huge stones that crushed the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
Lao Zhu was a man who tried to do everything by himself. Unlike the European emperor who said, "After he dies, he will take care of the floods." He never left known problems to future generations.
You can’t relax! The Ming Dynasty sought death after more than two hundred years!
Therefore, he immediately began to find out and fill the gaps for future generations. He wanted to speed up the time to expand the territory and make the Ming Dynasty cake bigger. Even if his descendants failed in times of crisis, they would be able to defeat them in a few months.
.
I wish I could include all the lands in the Kunyu Wanguo Tu into the Ming Dynasty's Zhidong.
However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty did not even take back all the old mountains and rivers of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Northern Yuan Dynasty was watching covetously outside the Great Wall, and the northwest, southern Xinjiang and other places were still not under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Only Bu Nao took back Yunnan a few years earlier.
, Ming Dynasty’s finances were actually in trouble.
This made Lao Zhu suddenly realize: It turns out that our foundation in Ming Dynasty is so weak?
His heart was irritated and his face was not good-looking. At this time, Lao Zhu walked behind the imperial court with a frosty look on his face, bluffing all the civil servants who had originally wanted to impeach Zhu Su into silence.
"Last year, Lingbei suffered a defeat. There were many storms in various places, and the money was spent a lot, so we will not pursue it. Next year, the weather will be good, but no matter how much taxes are paid, it will not be used?"
"Don't tell us that the North and South military expenditures are too high. Let us do it, and don't listen to our excuses."
"Next to us, we have entrusted Nanuo Da's family fortune to us. No matter what, we have to come up with a feasible method! We must ask the court to smooth out the mess immediately.
!”
Seeing the emperor furious in his head, the ministers and ministers in Didong trembled, but no one dared to say a word. In those few months, they were worried because of the matter of wealth, although at the beginning they were really worried about all kinds of pursuits.
The reasons are evasive, but speaking of it, I have come up with several ideas.
However, the Hongwu Emperor beside him was not only powerful, but also a master who did not rub dirt in his eyes. Whether he wanted to increase taxes on the people or reduce military expenditures, he rejected all suggestions.
At this moment, the officials could just hang their heads and act like clay Buddhas in the temple, pretending that they could neither see nor hear.
Lao Zhu was even more angry when he saw the heads of the imperial officials hanging down. At this moment, he really missed Hu Weiyong. Although Hu Weiyong was deceiving others and was powerful and self-centered, he was not a person.
He is talented. During the period when he was prime minister, if the court encountered problems, there would always be a rule-based solution at the beginning.
Unlike those wine-skinned and well-educated poets who stopped the Zhu family from interfering in the Imperial Academy and impeached Luo Zhi on charges of impeachment, they struck hard; they immediately became obedient to solve the problem of the empty treasury of the imperial court.
As for the foreign cabinet officials who replaced the prime minister, most of them were young Hanlin at this time. It would be no problem to ask them to draft documents and convey them to the east. But if they are asked to worry about practical matters and give suggestions for governing the country, they are obviously not that good.
portion of heat...
Over there, Li Shanchang, who had been lowering his eyebrows in Didong, saw that Lao Zhu was on the verge of an explosion, and thought it was time.
If you come forward at this time, you can not only win the trust of the ruler, but also sell a favor to the officials...
If so, he stood up from the chair that Lao Zhu specially gave him to sit on, crossed his legs with Lao Zhu and said, "Since I am in power, I have just thought of a way, which may solve the crisis of the national treasury."
"Oh?" Lao Zhu perked up. Sure enough, when it comes to practical matters, he can't rely on the veterans who have followed him all the way. He went to ask Li Shanchang and said: "Korean Master is indeed worthy of our Xiao He! Say it quickly, say it quickly
.”
"No, I am in office." Li Shanchang said with his legs crossed. "I know that I cherish the people when I am in power and do not want to give more to them."
“But if this is not the case, how can we conjure money out of thin air to supplement national needs?”
"After much thought, there is only one method that was used in the Yuan Dynasty that can solve the shortage of the national treasury..."
"Okay, why beat around the bush, I, Li Shanchang, am very impatient, don't you know?" Lao Zhu laughed and scolded, interrupting Li Shanchang's words that showed off his knowledge. "I'll just say no! I beg you not to harm the people."
If you go against the government, we will definitely reward you!"
"Thank you, sir!" Li Shanchang's eyes flashed with joy, and then he said calmly: "The good method that the old minister mentioned is not the banknote method that was used in the Yuanting Dynasty!"
"Money method?" Lao Zhu was stunned.
"No." Li Shanchang nodded. "I think that if I just ask him to print his Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, I can permanently relieve the imperial treasury's difficulties!"
