The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 278 The Ever Stronger Zhu Ying

Although the internal funds and the national treasury belong to the royal family in name, they are actually used for completely different purposes.

In many cases, the treasury in charge of the household department would often compete with the emperor for annual revenue.

In terms of many taxes, the competition between civil servants and the emperor has never stopped, and even Zhu Yuanzhang cannot avoid this aspect.

Naturally, the emperor can use the money in the internal funds as he wants, but the money in the treasury must be discussed with the ministers.

Although the emperor can use power, there are really too many places where money is used in the treasury.

Such as official and military expenses, military expenditures, famine and disaster relief, Guanglu Temple banknotes, river repairs, tank ship repairs, salt merchant banknotes, and treasure banknotes, etc.

These are the major expenditures of the Ministry of Households every year.

There are also many items in the internal funds, such as rewards from the emperor, compradors in the internal government, the construction of palaces and tombs, assistance in weaving, and the salaries of vassal kings in various places, etc., all need to be spent in the internal funds.

If there is no money in the internal funds, Zhu Yuanzhang can only mobilize part of it from the national treasury, which is called borrowing.

Everyone knows that this borrowing should be regarded as a loan without repayment.

In many cases, due to financial constraints, even the ministers of the court will delay the payment of salaries.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a sensible person, especially for officials.

We have suffered for most of our lives, now that we are the emperor, how can we make ourselves suffer?

As far as the current situation is concerned, whether it is the national treasury or the internal funds, they are actually very tight. After experiencing the chaos of the conquest at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was waiting for prosperity.

That's why there are such heavy taxes for the extremely wealthy Jiangnan area, which was not affected by the war much.

"Da Sun, you won't lose our internal money, will you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and said with some worry.

Although he has never been a businessman, Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that in the business of buying and selling, there are losses and gains.

You may make a lot of money this year and lose a lot next year.

If the loss is too big, you can only lower your face and reach out to the treasury.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying sighed inwardly.

At least in terms of business, the old man is still relatively naive, not as cruel as usual.

So he explained: "Grandpa, do you know why some businessmen make so much money, like Shen Wansan, but in just a few years, they can earn tens of millions of taels of silver."

"There are ways to do these things. In fact, no matter what kind of business you do, as long as you go through officials, you can get a lot of money."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How do you say this? Could it be that we have to oppress those poor people like those profiteers?"

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Such a method is not acceptable, this is not poaching the corner of one's own house.

Zhu Ying said with a wry smile: "How could my grandson be like this? Of course it is to earn money from those rich families. What can the poor people earn? It's just that little thing."

"When my grandson was in the Western Regions, the main partners of my cooperation were the dignitaries of various forces. The bigger the dignitaries, the more in-depth the cooperation, that is, the more money they have."

"Based on the size of our Ming Dynasty, it is natural that the money is more abundant. While earning money from these rich people, it also gives some benefits to the poor."

"For example, we can set up more government-run schools and academies to provide enlightenment education for young children."

"Print ordinary books to spread Ming culture."

"Build roads, build bridges, fix houses and more."

"It can be said that it is taken from the people and used for the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, and said loudly: "Okay, it's better to take it from the people and use it for the people. With the words of Dasun, we believe that in the future, when the people of Ming Dynasty mention Dasun, they will definitely praise him."

"Coupled with the fact that high-yielding crops are about to spread across the country, Dasun will definitely be a generation of Mingjun."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the grandson's eyes, revealing brilliance.

Which father, which grandfather, is not looking forward to his son or Sun Chenglong.

Sometimes seeing the excellence of one's offspring, that feeling is more comfortable than oneself.

This kind of experience can only be felt when one is a father and a father.

"Grandpa is too modest. When my grandson was in the Western Regions, he was quite experienced in these matters. Our internally-funded Royal Chamber of Commerce must be unimpeded from the official point of view. With the support of the local government, we don't have to worry about business failure. "

"Many businesses need people to do it. If we don't do it, others will do it. After all, someone will earn the money."

"We do this business ourselves, at least we can guarantee the lives of the people. Some profiteers maliciously manipulate the market price to seek high profits. Their consciences are so dark that they can do anything."

"With our chamber of commerce taking the lead, we can also establish a good reputation in the business of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, merchants will be more or less scrupulous about doing things."

Zhu Ying said slowly.

In today's Ming Dynasty, any democracy is asking for trouble, and the germination of capitalism is inevitable after the industrialization slowly begins.

That being the case, why can't this biggest capital be done by yourself.

Besides, as far as it is now, there are so many business elites in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to discard them.

At present, there are many business constraints in Ming Dynasty, and businessmen are often underestimated. However, when the era of industrialization comes, this situation will change with economic development.

Such changes cannot be completely curbed even by scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

Money, whether it is an individual or a country, is unavoidable.

The literati disliked the smell of copper, because they could not eat grapes and said grapes were sour. How many emperors were guided by this idea, which led to low livelihood and economic decline.

Anything that doesn't compete with the common people is just a pretense made by the civil officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and finally said: "At present, the business tax of our Ming Dynasty is like this. It doesn't go up or down. Regardless of the former Yuan Dynasty, compared with the former Song Dynasty, the territory is not as large as ours, but the annual income is so high. many."

"Regarding the taxes and laws in this area, Dasun will re-determine them. Let's see when the time comes. If there is no problem, we will announce it to the world and act according to the new laws."

That is the eldest grandson, only Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang will seriously consider the feasibility of it.

If any civil servant dared to raise matters about commercial taxation in the court, even if it meant the same thing as Zhu Ying, he would inevitably have a feast at home.

Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion and suspicion.

If you are joking around, if you are joking around, I will give you a neat and tidy family.

With the old man's words, Zhu Ying became more motivated.

The degree of urbanization in Daming is very low now, and most of the people live outside the city. The key to this is naturally the important factor that cannot be separated from the fields.

In order to develop the principles of urbanization, the first thing is to have enough food.

It will take two to three years to implement it.

But Zhu Ying is very confident that within five years, he will make the whole of Daming look like a new one.

The day of the first day of October is getting closer and closer.

All the guards who are qualified to participate in the military parade are now really full of energy and training day and night.

Many guards are not professional arms, but mostly military households.

For example, the military households in the guards on the outskirts of the capital are inseparable from farming.

Now this period is the time for late rice sowing, which will obviously delay the training of soldiers.

Just when the soldiers were worried that there was not enough time for training, the tributary issued an order that a large number of civilians would become part-time laborers through wage employment, instead of the soldiers, to carry out double robbing.

So that the soldiers of the guard can conduct training with peace of mind, and the wages for these hires are all paid from the emperor's internal funds.

"Your Majesty treats us like this, what qualifications do you have to be lazy, and don't train well to repay His Majesty's grace."

"Today, if the general sees anyone who dares to be lazy, he will be expelled from the ranks of the military parade."

"Let me make it clear to you that now I don't know how many people are waiting behind you. They are looking forward to you. They can't even pass such a simple exercise, and then they will take your place."

"This morning, this general also received an order from the East Palace. It's so complicated that you can't understand it. To put it simply, His Royal Highness means that if you perform well enough this time."

"In the future, you will be able to get rid of your status as a military household and become a close army of His Royal Highness, and you will no longer have to go to the ground to plan food."

"And there is no need to worry about the future. Don't worry when everyone is old and can no longer mention swords. Everyone should know that now we have a new yamen in Daming, the Department of Public Security of Daming."

"The Department of Public Security is located in all prefectures and counties throughout Daming. When you reach your age, you don't need to return to the farm after removing your armor, so you can go directly to the Department of Public Security and continue to serve."

"If you can make a little contribution in the army, then it will be a disaster. If you go to a local county town, you can work as an official in the Public Security Department, and you will be free from worries for the rest of your life. Wouldn't it be great?"

The general who gave the lecture did not stand on the high platform, but was in the queue of soldiers, shouting at the top of his voice.

Hearing the general's words, the eyes of all the soldiers became brighter and brighter, and they were all full of energy, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

This is equivalent to saying that whether it is now or the way out, His Royal Highness has already made arrangements.

Just practice to the death.

The most important thing is that this is not a painting, this is witnessed by all the soldiers.

The simplest thing is the change of food in the army.

Usually, farming is busy, and farming is slack, even the capital guards have to be like this.

When practicing, only two meals a day, the intensity is average.

Now, not to mention three meals a day, there is also meat every meal, and the meals are full.

At the very beginning, there were quite a few soldiers who made jokes, and the greedy ones ate too much, and they were full.

Later, I realized that it was available every day, so I didn't dare to eat it to death.

Moreover, the food and the taste made all the soldiers unforgettable after taking a sip of wine.

I'm afraid that even the big restaurants in the capital don't have this taste.

This is the meal that soldiers can eat?
At the beginning, when the aroma wafted through the whole guard, the soldiers thought that they were hallucinating from hunger. Only when they really tasted it, did they realize that it was so delicious, and it would be a daily routine in the future.

This scene emerged in the minds of all the soldiers in the queue.

The next moment, a soldier with a loud voice couldn't help being excited, and shouted loudly: "Long live your majesty! Long live your highness grandson!"

After a moment of tranquility, the whole guardhouse roared earth-shatteringly: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Highness Grandson!"

Such a situation is just the epitome of a certain guard, and almost all guards are in the same situation.

Somewhere down the Qinhuai River,

On the upstairs boat, Pi'erma couldn't help shivering with his hand holding the teacup.

The huge roar just now frightened him.

Turning his head subconsciously, looking at the distance from where the sound came from, Pierma Heima couldn't help asking Zhu Yunqi who was opposite: "Yun Wen is fierce, are all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty so crazy when they practice?"

That energy and spirit, like thousands of horses, gallops forward.

How can someone who grew up in a military camp not be familiar with leather horses and black hemp?

That is definitely a first-class elite soldier.

But if you listen carefully, this kind of voice doesn't come from one place, it seems to be from many places.

And here, it's just a corner of the Great Ming capital.

Although Zhu Yunqi was also a little puzzled by this, but in front of Pi'erma Heima, of course he couldn't lose face of Daming.

He said calmly, "Brother Ma Hei is thinking too much. These are just the daily training of my Ming soldiers. The military parade on the first day of October is coming soon, so the soldiers must have trained more diligently recently."

Zhu Yunwen looked calm, but his heart was not calm.

From the place where the voice came from just now, Zhu Yunqi knew that it was just an inconspicuous one among the many guards in the capital.

But the temperament just now seemed to be incomparable even to the imperial guards in the palace.

After a little thought, Zhu Yunqi knew that this must be the elder brother's method.

Zhu Yunqi really couldn't understand the elder brother's military training.

I have also followed the training, but when my elder brother practiced the guards in the palace, he often did not see anyone for three or four days, and he would just show his head on weekdays, and he would disappear after less than half an hour.

But in the army, Zhu Yunxuan had not tried to pass the fanatical worship of the elder brother by those soldiers for so long.

Now it seems that the degree of fanaticism that the eldest brother is supported in the army is no longer limited to the Xuanjiawei and the imperial guards.

Instead, it radiated towards all guards in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunqi sighed slightly in his heart, my elder brother is my elder brother after all.

Hearing Zhu Yunxuan's indifferent tone opposite, as if it was commonplace, Pi'er Ma Heima felt a little jealous of Daming's army.

When he came to the capital, in Pi'erma Heima's heart, his grandfather's army was the strongest army in the world, none of them.

Even the strongest elites of Ming Dynasty are absolutely unable to resist in front of the grandfather's army.

This is the pride of being a descendant of Genghis Khan. The Mongolian cavalry is the strongest in the world. Even the Ming Dynasty can only rely on the defense of the city, and it is impossible to fight against the Mongolian army on the plain.

But now, this once firm idea has been shaken.
