The civil and military officials leaving the Ancestral Temple were suddenly attracted by a motorcade.
Good guy, mighty.
There were four or five large wooden boxes placed on each carriage, which looked extremely heavy. The horses pulling the carts were hechihechi, and the drivers were all soldiers of the East Palace Young Army. The one responsible for escorting the carriages was Zhao Er, the commander of the young army.
What needs a young army commander to serve as an escort?
The hearts of the masses are sharp.
There is only one thing that can move people like this.
money!
Watching the boxes of money being transported into the Forbidden City, the expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials were wonderful.
His Royal Highness is so shameless!
A rough estimate based on the number of these carriages indicates that the gold and silver transported must be at least 20 to 30 million taels.
It must be a victory in Taiwan.
But only 7 million taels were registered, and only 5 million taels filled the national treasury. His Royal Highness the Emotional Prince only took out a fraction, and the rest was all pocketed by him personally?
Just keep it private, you can cover it up at least.
It was transported into the East Palace in broad daylight, and I was afraid that no one would see it.
Having said that, the civil and military officials have nothing to do about it.
Impeach the prince?
It's not necessary. The prince is not using this money for personal enjoyment. It must still be spent on his series of reforms, and this money was saved by the Baozong.
The prince had a lot of reasons to excuse himself.
In fact, when things have developed to this point, almost all the officials can clearly see it.
Taiwan’s Baozong is real.
Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince deliberately let him go to Taiwan.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent the Bao Sect to Annan again...
It means that Annan will also end up with Taiwan!
Attacking Mobei in the north, Taiwan in the east, and Annan in the south. Based on the current trend, the Ming Dynasty is about to embark on the path of Han and Tang hegemony. All Ming officials who have a heart for their family, country, and the world are eager for His Highness the Crown Prince to make more money.
As for whether any generals will dare to imitate His Highness the Prince’s black money operation in the future...
No!
Who dares.
With tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, even the bravest general would not dare to think so.
And one thing is very crucial - after the opening of the sea, overseas smuggling was severely cracked down. Although the powerful nobles could not form monopoly profits, they could still trade normally and made real money with their abundant capital.
Who would be dissatisfied with the imperial power if they could make money?
Of course, after the opening of the sea, Ming Dynasty's tax revenue this year will achieve a qualitative leap. In the past, the tax revenue in the past year was about 20 million taels, and this year it is likely to exceed the 30 million taels mark.
In the Hall of Qianqing, Zhu Qiyu and his son took Yu Qian, Bai Gui, Hang Min, Lin Cong, and Chen Xun into the Dongnuang Pavilion. Zhu Jianji instinctively went to sit down and sat down. Zhu Qiyu coughed and said, "I have been feeling uncomfortable in my waist these past few days.
"
After saying that, he sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs.
The attitude is clear.
I'm lying down, little bastard, you go and sit on my throne. The next Ming Dynasty Hall is your stage.
All the ministers were secretly amused.
I have never seen such a monarch and his father and his son.
So damn harmonious!
How could Zhu Jianji be polite to Zhu Qiyu? He calmly sat down behind the royal desk, took off his sword, slapped it on the table, and said with a tired look: "You gentlemen, please tell me about the current situation."...
Learn about the results of various reform initiatives.
Let something go.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Liang hurriedly came in and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess wishes to see you."
Zhu Jianji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
He said to Shu Liang, "Please go to Shoukang Palace, Princess. While things are done here, I will go to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to the Imperial Grandmother. In addition, I will send someone to invite the Queen Mother to Shoukang Palace. Let's have dinner at Shoukang Palace tonight."
[By the way, it is currently the best for reading and listening to books,@
.
Probably the most humane Tian family royal family in history!
Shu Liang left in a hurry.
Yu Qian and others saw this and nodded secretly.
The prince, Zhu Jianji, was nineteen years old and had not yet reached the crown. He was decisive in his actions and bold in his policies. He had the demeanor of a wise king. What is commendable is that he had an innocent heart in his treatment of family ties.
He has both the thunder of the martial emperors of the past dynasties and the gentleness and kindness of the benevolent emperors of this dynasty.
Such kings...
There is no similarity in history!
Zhu Jianji looked at Lin Cong, Minister of Agriculture, "The Academy of Agricultural Sciences is related to the future of the country and is the top priority of all Gu's initiatives. Minister Lin, tell me, how is the sweet potato planting going?"
Lin Cong said this.
Zhu Jianji said: "Gu Ye believes that it is most appropriate to promote sweet potato cultivation in Sichuan, Henan and Guangxi, where the land is slightly drier. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences will continue to follow up on this matter and will turn sweet potatoes into rice within three years.
It is the third largest crop after wheat. In addition, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences needs to prepare some manpower to collect overseas.
High-yielding crops grown in a wide range of areas. This time in Taiwan, I heard from pirates that there is a kind of crop overseas called corn, tomatoes, and peppers. The Ministry of Agriculture is going to look for them. Well, as for peppers, it seems that they are already available along the coast, but
It is cultivated as an ornamental flower. The Ministry of Agriculture went to the coast to find it and brought it back to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other places to promote it."
A lot of food was introduced to China from South America.
South America……
Zhu Jianji suddenly had a thought in his heart. He had to let his firm conduct a round-the-world voyage. In line with the principle of first discovering first and possessing it first, wouldn't it be delicious to turn South America into the world it has been since ancient times?
Lin Cong immediately accepted the order.
Zhu Jianji said: "Lin Shangshu, hurry up and arrange it. I will see peppers in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences before the Lantern Festival next year!"
Lin Cong immediately resigned.
Zhu Jianji looked at Chen Xun again, "Chen Shangshu, I have something to tell you. During this coup, the puppet dynasty had a total of tens of millions of taels of wealth, but I only took 5 million taels to fill the national treasury. I was not alone.
The Ministry of Revenue will use special funds for special purposes. In addition to the necessary military expenditures, the Ministry of Revenue will spend money to build four vertical and four horizontal official roads. This will cost a lot of money and the national treasury will
It may not be affordable. The money from Daming Bank can be used. In addition, the Royal Bank will also lend money to the Ministry of Household Affairs for construction. Of course, in order to ease the financial pressure, the Ministry of Industry can contract the construction of official roads to private individuals. This matter
I will discuss it with all the ministers at the Umrah meeting. The top priority is that in order to ensure the military industry, the steelmaking industry needs to be vigorously developed, so the Ministry of Household Affairs must ensure the allocation to the Ministry of Industry."
Chen Xun took a deep breath and said, "I obey the order."
Zhu Jianji continued: "In addition, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development needs to set aside some money for water conservancy projects. The weather has been getting weirder and weirder recently. I think we are likely to enter a period of long-term cold Little Ice Age. We cannot let winter change."
It is warm, but we want to reduce droughts and floods in spring, summer and autumn as much as possible, so it is urgent to renovate water conservancy projects across the country."
The Ming Dynasty died during the Little Ice Age.
Zhu Jianji doesn't know whether this argument is true, but he must have a response to it.
Chen Xun sighed, "It's a pity that Xu Youzhen died."
In the field of water control, Xu Youzhen can be said to be the number one person in the past twenty years.
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "It's not like the earth would stop spinning without Xu Youzhen. We're recruiting ministers and craftsmen who are good at water conservancy from all over the country to join the Ministry of Industry and establish a water conservancy department!"
Everyone was stunned, what the hell is the earth?
I didn’t think much about it.
Anyway, His Highness the Crown Prince often comes out with some new words, which are incredible, and everyone is used to it. For example, the naming of Dongfeng mortar is unprecedented.
Hang Min immediately accepted the order.
Everyone felt comfortable watching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strategizing.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a bit interested in Zhang Guo.
The key point is that His Highness the Crown Prince is only nineteen years old, and there will still be plenty of time to govern the country in the future. Such a Crown Prince is a great blessing to the Ming Dynasty!
When is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan?
