Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 115

Jingshi
The tide of reform across the country has been promoted one after another, and the land is divided to build farms, certificates and merchants are taxed.

Although there was a lot of resistance, Zhu Youjian could not be shaken.

In order to let the people in the north solve their food and clothing earlier, Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty regrettably said that he had worked hard.

Allocated more than 300 million taels of silver to the south of the Yangtze River, and used large ships to transport grain through the canal to the north to relieve the people.

They also exchanged many high-yield crop seeds in the system mall.

Because of the systematic manufacturing, these crops are not only high-yield, but the maturity period is only two months.

In other words, after two months, the people in the north of Ming Dynasty will be able to support themselves.

In a short period of time, Zhu Youjian consumed 3000 million taels of silver.

This is absolutely impossible for Zhu Youjian's predecessor, Emperor Chongzhen.

At the time when it was the richest, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty would not exceed 500 million taels of silver, let alone more than 3000 million taels.

But 3000 million is still affordable for Zhu Youjian.

In the search of the house in the capital, 7000 million taels of silver were confiscated.

Later, Qinglong copied more than 6000 million taels of silver from the Eight Great Yellow Merchants and other Shanxi merchants.

Now because some wealthy businessmen and gentry opposed the reform, all their homes were ransacked, and Zhu Youjian once again made a fortune.

Although a total of about 5000 million taels was consumed due to the summoning of soldiers and horses, the exchange of firearms, the establishment of firearms research and development factories, the distribution of food for disaster relief, and the replacement of military pay, etc.

But there are more than 4000 million taels of silver in his system warehouse, and this 4000 million does not include the construction of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

Zhu Youjian estimated that the construction of the Ming Dynasty Navy will consume about 1000 million taels.

Zhu Youjian seems to have seen the bright future of Daming, so he is naturally in a good mood.

Finally, he had some free time, and he went to Renshou Palace alone, wanting to see the poor princess.

Because Zhu Youjian handed over the Royal Chamber of Commerce to the princess, the princess was also very busy during this time.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce not only has many shops in the capital, but also many large hotels.

Of course, Yichun Building does not belong to the Royal Chamber of Commerce, it is under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei and Dongxichang.

The Yichun Building, the romantic place, is not only responsible for the salaries and expenses of the three major intelligence agencies.

At present, nearly one million taels of silver has been contributed to the treasury.

After the people all over the country have solved their food and clothing problems, Yichun Towers will bloom everywhere.

At that time, its contribution to Ming Dynasty would not be lower than agricultural taxation.

Because most of the staff in Yichun Building are family members of repeat offenders, they do not need to pay wages.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce operates a wide range of products, including grain and oil, sea salt, tea, textiles and more.

If managed properly, the annual income of the Royal Chamber of Commerce will not be less than ten million taels of silver.

Because most of them are monopoly industries, sea salt alone has a huge income.

The princess was looking down at the ledger. Wang Chengen was watching the outside affairs, so she didn't need to manage everything.

A maid of fourteen or fifteen years old was waiting on her. The little girl looked very pretty. Although her skin was a bit dark, it did not affect her future beauty.

Seeing the emperor coming in, the little maid froze for a moment. She had just entered the palace not long ago and didn't know the emperor.

But out of politeness, I still gave Zhu Youjian a million blessings, and then went to make tea for Zhu Youjian.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the princess raised her pretty face, and when she saw that it was her father, that delicate pretty face burst into a bright smile.

He got up and hugged Zhu Youjian's arm, and pulled him to sit on the Taishi chair.

"Father, how do you have time to come and see Erchen with all your busy schedules? Sit down!"

Zhu Youjian touched the princess's head and laughed loudly:
"I heard that you have been working very hard recently. Father came to see you. Don't tire out my little baby. How about handing over the management of the Royal Chamber of Commerce to other people for the time being?"

"No, I'm bored to death. I finally have something to do. Don't worry, my father, I will definitely manage the Royal Chamber of Commerce well."

Zhu Youjian pinched the princess's pretty face lovingly and said with a smile:
"Okay, since Wei Xi is willing, of course Father will not refuse you, but you should also pay attention to rest."

"Wow, it turned out that the emperor arrived, and Xiaowen kowtowed to the emperor."

At this moment, the little maid next to her realized from her shock that it was actually the emperor who came.

The county magistrate had never seen him before, but today he actually saw the emperor with his own eyes, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Youjian waved to the little maid:
"Waiting, I'm just here. It looks like I have done farm work in the countryside."

Before the little maid could speak, the princess smiled and said:
"Father, he was rescued by General Qi in Shanhaiguan. Hearing that the family members were gone, the general gave her to his son as a maid."

"Oh, I haven't even heard of this matter. How about it, she will be your sister from now on, as long as she plays with you, don't let her do the things that servants do."

Hearing that it was an orphan and that it was sent by Qi Jiguang from Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youjian immediately felt compassion.

Seeing that the little girl is not only sensible, but also very cute, she simply accepts her as her daughter, so that the princess can have many relatives.

Xiaowen didn't understand what the emperor meant, but the princess was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Xiaowen:
"Thank you, Xiaowen, my father accepted you as a princess."

"Oh no"

"Xiaowen thank you, Your Majesty."

"No, silly boy, you should call him Emperor Father."

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to pick up the little girl, and reminded her casually.

"Yes, thank you, Father."

Xiaowen knelt down to kowtow to his father again, his eyes were already soaked with tears.

An ordinary rural girl and an orphan.

Xiaowen would never have imagined that because of Qi Jiguang's act of kindness, she would become a princess.

Zhu Youjian touched Xiaowen's head lovingly:
"You will be called Princess Jianwen from now on. Follow your sister to study hard. I hope you can help my sister share some of the pressure when you grow up."

"Thank you, Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Seeing that Xiaowen is very sensible, Zhu Youjian showed a satisfied smile, and said to Zhu Weixi:
"Da Ming has just passed from extreme danger. No matter what you do, you must consider the overall situation. You cannot exploit and oppress the people for the profit of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, it will violate the original intention of establishing the Royal Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Xi, who has always been mischievous and well-behaved, got up immediately after hearing her father's meaningful words, and raised her right hand:

"Father, don't worry, my son has deeply felt the sufferings of the people. Our Royal Chamber of Commerce has always been beneficial to the people, and the price of our products is far lower than similar products. I, Zhu Wei, swear that the Royal Chamber of Commerce will always serve the people, use it for the people, and benefit the people. "

Daming was almost overthrown, his mother, queen and others died tragically, and his brother and brother were missing.

Zhu Weixi vowed to be a good princess who loves the common people.

Great Western Barracks
"Report to the general, someone outside the barracks asked to see you, and he specially asked his subordinates to convey that it was an interview with an old friend."

In a military camp under the Daxi regime, Sun Kewang suddenly received a report from the soldiers that an old friend asked to see him.

Sun Kewang was taken aback for a moment, then asked:

"How many people are there?"

"Report to the general, there are 11 people in total."

"Bring them to General Ben"

"Yes"
