lied to Kangxi

Chapter 582
Hero, what are you most afraid of?

The famous Emperor Dashun, after losing his wings, was actually murdered to death by the militia township Yong in Jiugong Mountain!

Han Xin leads the army, the more the better.

However, the lost Marquis of Huaiyin was tricked into the palace by Empress Lu and stabbed to death with random guns!

A hero must be most afraid of losing his wings!
The guards of the third son's palace were dismissed all at once, and he was ashamed to stay in the household department any longer, so he simply closed the door.

Yu Zhu blatantly wrestled with the third child, but won a complete victory.For a moment, the entire household department trembled.

Catch the thief first catch the king!
So, after the third child who was in the way was gone, Yuzhu easily obtained the complete power of the household department!
The Ministry of Households holds the power of fiscal revenue and expenditure throughout the world.

Yuzhu is the Minister of the Ministry of Households as a cabinet scholar. To put it bluntly, the financial power of the Qing Dynasty has been completely in the hands of Yuzhu.

Since troops are being used in the west, the old emperor has to meet with Yuzhu every day to discuss financial revenue and expenditure issues.

As the saying goes, when the cannon fires, there will be ten thousand taels of gold!

As the Northwest War continued, the treasury was also empty!
The old emperor asked Yuzhu: "Is there any way to increase the revenue of the treasury?"

Yuzhu really wanted to say, yes, the fourth child in your family has a stall that runs into the mu, it's great!
However, the painful lessons of Shang Yang being torn apart by a car and Zhang Juzheng's family members being starved to death have taught a truth: whoever dares to really carry out reforms before he has won the highest power will definitely end badly!

Snatch money from the pockets of the rich and powerful, and give it to the old emperor to fight, unless Yuzhu's head is flooded!
"Hui Khan Ama, I think that the financial problems of the imperial court are nothing more than four words of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure." Yu Zhu sighed softly and explained, "There are about 3000 million mu of arable land in the world. The arable land that can be taxed is pitifully small, less than [-]%. The reason is that, without it, princes and gentry occupy a large amount of arable land that is not taxed."

In private, even in front of the old emperor, Yuzhu has always dared to speak the truth.

The old emperor could hear what Yuzhu meant, as long as he dared to attack the powerful, the Qing Dynasty would never be short of money!

However, no matter how powerful the old emperor was, as he got older, his control over the entire empire was no longer as good as before.

The Eight Lords Party, despite being hammered so many times, is still loose and not loose, which is a good explanation for the problem.

Yuzhu deliberately brought up the total area of ​​arable land as an example. The purpose was not to collect taxes, but to tell the old emperor that he could no longer play tricks on the arable land.

The old emperor thought for a while and said, "It seems that the port will be opened again?"

It has to be admitted that the old emperor is not only not stupid, but also extremely smart. Just by being obedient and listening to the sound, he knows what Yuzhu is thinking.

Yu Zhu nodded and said: "Khan Ama Shengming. There is Guangdong Customs in Guangzhou, and Tianjin Customs in Dagu. It is impossible for the huge Qing Dynasty to have only these two trading ports."

"Let's go on, I'll make up my mind when everything is clear!" The old emperor liked to listen to Yu Zhu's reckoning.

The characteristics of Yuzhu's accounts are that they are well-organized and the source is clear.

Not only can the origin of the silver be clearly stated, but the accuracy of the estimated tariffs is astonishingly high.

"Khan Ama, I think that Dinghai County, Zhoushan, which is directly opposite Ningbo Mansion, can serve as a large trading port for increasing tax sources..." Yuzhu discussed the trade situation of this dynasty from the Mingzhou period, and the final conclusion is , Dinghai in Zhoushan is already suitable for port opening.

"Should the Ministry of Internal Affairs send someone to take care of it?" When the old emperor asked, Yuzhu understood instantly, obviously already moved.

"That's natural. Nanku has a lot of money, and the Ministry of Finance will ask you to borrow money to spend, instead of you asking the Ministry of Accounts to borrow money to spend." Yuzhu's position is very firm, always on the side of the old emperor.

The old emperor twitched his beard and smiled, and said jokingly: "That's true, it's been less than a month, and you've already borrowed money from me three times, so tell me, when do you plan to pay back the money?"

Yuzhu smiled shallowly and said: "In the current treasury of the household department, the poor are so poor that they can run away from mice. They must not be able to pay back the money. Alas, we can only wait for the year of the monkey."

"What a year of the monkey, haha, yes, I'm sure." The old emperor was very happy, and he approved Zhoushan's proposal to open a port.

The serious way of doing foreign trade must be that all coastal areas can do business!

However, the old emperor didn't think he was proficient in all kinds of Western ingenious silver skills. In his bones, he only agreed with the old-fashioned way of small-scale peasant economy.

why?
Firmly controlling the farmers on the land is the means of governance with the least cost and the greatest harvest.

Therefore, starting from Kangxi, through Yongzheng, and then to Qianlong, as long as there is no obvious external threat and the court is not short of money, the first thing to do is to ban the sea.

The three emperors, Kang, Yong, and Qian, all played the game of prohibiting overseas trade.

Yuzhu's port opening plan has been able to continue to receive strong support from the old emperor. To put it bluntly, the root problem is that the monopoly business run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all revenues are included in the emperor's Nanku.

The so-called Tianzi Nanku is also the little treasury of the old emperor himself!

Yuzhu is like a big spider, normally, he just spins a web very patiently.

When the old emperor was short of money to spend, Yuzhu was like a pawn crossing the river in chess, earning one move with one move, and one pair with two moves.

In any case, when the Manchus ruled China, they were full of self-confidence in their bones.When the environment is a little bit peaceful, I think about closing the door to the outside world.

With the country closed to the outside world, most of the grassroots have become frogs in the well, so they don't have so many flowery intestines.

As for Yuzhu, his purpose is actually very clear, to help the old emperor make money so that he can take the opportunity to expand the size of the sea-going ship.

The larger the ship, the more guns it has.

In the future, it will be extremely convenient and fast whether it is transporting troops and artillery to the capital, or attacking to the south.

To put it bluntly, Yu Zhu took advantage of the poor information caused by his different knowledge, and under the guise of making money for the old emperor, he was doing his own private affairs.

On the way out of the palace, Zhang Hongxu suddenly whispered: "Master Zhu, be careful, don't sprain your ankle!"

Yuzhu glanced at Zhang Hongxu calmly, and said to himself, the old emperor is getting old day by day, even Zhang Hongxu has to find a backer to save his life in advance.

Seeing that Yuzhu didn't seem to hear anything, Zhang Hongxu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

You know, under the eyes of the old emperor, it is a huge risk to inform Yuzhu!

On this day, Yuzhu was sitting in the yamen of the household department reviewing official documents, when He Daxing, the doctor of the Eight Banners Division of the household department, came to see him.

As soon as Yuzhu heard it, he knew that something difficult was coming.

Sure enough, after He Daxing came in, he reported a big event.

Hesheli Yongtai is the great-grandson of Hesheli Sony. This guy is useless, he just eats and waits to die all day long.

As a result, Yongtai sold Zutian privately.

The so-called ancestral land is actually the land of the Han people who scrambled to enclose the land after the Qing army entered the customs.

According to the rules of the imperial court, it is forbidden to sell the land of bannermen to Han people.

However, under normal circumstances, the people do not report and the officials do not correct.

However, Yongtai is a bad boy. After he spent all the money from selling the land, he falsely accused the Han people who bought the land.

Yuzhu understood that Yongtai was the son of Lunbu, and Lunbu was the son of Kabula.

Kabula is very unknown in history.However, Kabula was the orthodox Guo-Loma method for abolishing Prince Yinreng.

In Manchu, Guo Luomafa means grandfather.

In other words, Gabra is the biological father of Kangxi's first empress, Empress Xiaocheng Hesheli.

Yu Zhu was an old bureaucrat, and he knew as soon as he heard it that it must be Yongtai who wanted to play black and white tricks by relying on his status as a bannerman.

However, Kangxi hated Suo'etu, and even the entire Hesheli family was completely marginalized.

"Well, I took my name card and asked Changtai to come and lead him back in person!" Yuzhu thought for a while, his biological grandmother was a woman from the Hesheli family after all, no matter how you say it, you have to do it without looking at the monk's face. Look at the Buddha's face.

Changtai is the eldest son of Kabula.After Kabula died, he inherited the first-class title of Duke Cheng'en.

Unlike his younger brother Suo'etu, Gabra had no talent and died early.

Therefore, the old emperor only killed Suo'etu and his two sons, but did not anger the children of Kabula's lineage.

Changtai is just an idle first class gentleman with no money or power.

Yuzhu personally sent someone to say hello, Changtai hurried to the household department, and took Yongtai away in public.

Hearing that Changtai slapped Yongtai several times on the spot, Yuzhu couldn't help sighing secretly, the prodigal son killed people.

Originally, the Imperial Government's Mansion, which the old emperor bestowed on Yuzhu, was almost ready.

Who would have thought that Yuzhu would be reduced to Fuguogong.

There was no way, Lei Jinyu, the leader of the Lei family class who was in charge of the reconstruction, had to come to see Yuzhu in person.

Knowing Lei Jinyu's intentions, Yu Zhu ordered, "Everything can be done according to regulations."

Lei Jinyu couldn't figure it out, so she went to find Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Old Lei, you are also an old man who has served for many years, don't you understand our Zhongtang's temper?"

Lei Jinyu knew that Zhou Quan was Yu Zhu's confidant, so he bowed and said, "I also ask Mr. Zhou to give me some advice."

"Well, nothing else, but you must never violate the rules, understand?" Zhou Quan knew Lei Jinyu's thoughts, so he pointed out the mystery, "Be sure to check carefully, and you must not violate the rules."

Lei Jinyu understood, bowed her waist and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou for your guidance." Secretly handed over a thousand tael bank note.

Zhou Quan was not polite to Lei Jinyu, and just accepted it with a smile.

After Lei Jinyu left, Zhou Quan came to see Yuzhu with a bank note.

Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "Since he gave it to you, you can accept it, it's not a big deal."

Now that Yu Zhu had said so, Zhou Quan accepted Lei Jinyu's bribe without hesitation.

Wu Jiang on the side took a deep look at Zhou Quan, and said in his heart, Lao Zhou is really good, and every time he collects money, he has to tell Zhongtang clearly.

As a result, not only did the money fall into the bag, but Yu Zhu would not suspect Zhou Quan.

How amazing is this?
