Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 293 The capital is going to change

Daming in the three years of Chongzhen seems to be developing in a good direction.

There is no major disturbance in Liaodong.

There is no major disturbance in Shanshan.

In other parts of the Ming Dynasty, there were no emergency memorials for disasters, civil uprisings, and military disturbances.

Although there are still some turmoil on the side of the court due to the influence of the responsibility system and the accountability system, the clarity of the cabinet has made all of this under control.

Because the cabinet, under the operation of Wen Tiren, is willing to implement the responsibility system and the accountability system. This also means that Emperor Chongzhen gave more power to the cabinet by default.

The current bad things about foreign courts are generally carried out by the cabinet.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, two machismo politicians, one was placed in the military aircraft department and the other was appointed in the cabinet. They did help Emperor Chongzhen a lot.

However, Emperor Chongzhen also knew it in his heart.

The current calm can only be regarded as the calm before the storm.

After March, many problems will erupt one after another.

The rogues moved to Shanxi in an all-round way.

The White Lotus Sect will emerge in Beizhili, Henan and other places.

Zhang Xianzhong will rise strongly.

Shandong Dashui.

Jinling Earthquake...

Against such a background, Emperor Chongzhen dared to relax in the slightest. There were still many things that needed him to do and plans that needed to be advanced.

"Huang...Young Master Huang, you shouldn't come out and walk around at will."

Sun Chuanting, who had changed into casual clothes, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a worried look on his brows and said, "Young Master Huang is needed in the house, now..."

Seeing Sun Chuanting admonishing him, and Emperor Chongzhen tightening his sable cloak, he said with a smile: "Bo Ya, I've heard what you've said before, and I'm about to get cocooned.

The ancients said, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

If you only stay in one place and don't go out much, how can you know what's going on outside?This young master heard that the current Chongwenmen tax customs has changed a lot? "

"Yes, it has indeed changed a lot."

Sun Chuanting sighed softly in his heart, glanced left and right, and said as he walked: "In the past two months alone, the Chongwenmen Tax Customs has collected a total of more than 37 taels of various taxes.

This does not include the private salt that was seized.

If the batch of private salt consigned at the convenience store can be sold at a low price, at least 10,000+ taels of silver can be obtained.

With the clarification of various systems, the tax collected by the Chongwenmen Tax Customs alone may exceed 150 million taels of silver a year. "

From less than 10 taels of silver to breaking through 150 million taels of silver, Emperor Chongzhen could imagine in his heart how serious the situation of tax evasion in various parts of the Ming Dynasty was.

"The change is really not small."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "If the imperial court can collect so much tax money every year, why does it always distribute Liao's salary to various places because of the turmoil in some border areas?
Everyone said it was for the country and the country, but when they were asked to share their worries, all they thought was to add burden to the people.

It's good to be an official in Daming.

If the various systems of the Chongwenmen tax customs can be implemented to the seven canals, and the imperial court can truly control it, how much more tax money can it collect?
Boya, why didn't you think about this on the court side?The duties and powers that should be fulfilled by the Ministry of Households and the powers and powers of the Governor of Water Transport are mixed together. "

Your Majesty wants to comprehensively rectify the seven big banknotes set up in the water transport.

But how can it be so easy to clarify the duties and powers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Governor of Water Transport.

However, if it can be implemented in one place and one place, more corresponding officials will be trained, a sound supervision system will be established, and at the same time, the length of time for Shaguan to stay in office will be clarified, and they can still be resolved one by one.

If the above can be implemented, Guochao can collect at least 500 million taels of silver in only one of the seven major banknotes, but it is also very difficult and will inevitably cause a lot of backlash.

Looking at Sun Chuanting who was deep in thought, Emperor Chongzhen smiled. It seems that what he said reminded Sun Chuanting of something.

"Bo Ya, after you go back, go to that mansion to have a chat."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled lightly and said, "Regarding what my young master mentioned, including what you think in your heart, let's get together and discuss it carefully.

You can't chew too much.

Settle your mind and get things done one by one. If you encounter difficult problems, you should solve them. If you need to reset the rules, you should boldly reset them. "

"Here!"

With Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Finance, who sits in the household department and presides over the affairs of the household department, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not let him idle. After all, the tax revenue of the treasury still needs to be increased a lot.

As for the matters of the market and customs, the state finances can be completely controlled, and there is absolutely no problem in collecting 800 million taels of silver for those taxes.

Emperor Chongzhen's requirements were not high, and it was enough to implement these during the three-year temporary stabilization period. When encountering corresponding problems during the period, it was enough to solve the corresponding problems.

When the ethos of scheming and partisanship against dissidents was no longer the only color of the state, Emperor Chongzhen felt that relying on the old-fashioned official team could still solve many problems.

When encountering resistance and obstruction, and encountering violations of law and discipline, the factory guards are not vegetarians.

Once the three-year temporary stabilization period is over, and the rotten situation of Ming Dynasty is initially contained and resolved, then the system involving more core interests can be implemented accordingly.

As long as you can grasp a large-scale new army in your hands and completely obey the mobilization of Emperor Chongzhen, even if there are those who openly oppose or simply cause trouble, then send troops to suppress them!
If the brave guard battalion led by Zhou Yuji can take advantage of the three-year temporary stability period to achieve success in suppressing the rogues, and prevent the rogues from rushing out of Shanshan and other places, then the new field army with [-] main soldiers and a few auxiliary troops will be the best in Chongzhen. The emperor is necessary to build up.

As for the senior generals who stayed in the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, during the three-year temporary stabilization period, they wanted to take control of the three battalions step by step and train them into a new army.

How much can the scale of the new army that is actually in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen break through?
When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was able to seize military power, possess good financial resources, and wrestle with a large group of civil officials, he would stand on the commanding heights.

"Bo Ya, how do you feel from the inner city all the way to the outer city?" Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to reality, looked at the dirty and messy market, and said to Sun Chuanting beside him.

"Do you feel that there is too much difference between the two cities inside and outside the capital? Especially the houses built at random, once there is water leakage, it will inevitably affect a large area."

The ideal is full, but the reality is very backbone.

Deep down in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen conceived a beautiful Ming Dynasty.

But to realize these blueprints, what needs to be done in reality is a daunting challenge. How to solve these problems and implement the changes in practice is what Emperor Chongzhen will do.
