Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 450 The treasury has no money
Emperor Chongzhen did have his own ideas about Tianjin Kaihai, but this idea involved many levels.

The imperial court, places, water transportation, new tax laws, inspections, ticket numbers...

To explain simply, through Tianjin's treaty port, initially revitalize the closer economic circulation between the north and the south, clarify the order of unified bank notes, absorb the silver hoarded by the people, gradually increase productivity, stabilize foreign trade, and gradually expand northern Xinjiang trade The port will lay a solid foundation for reorganizing the financial order, implementing the new tax law, and developing the Ming Dynasty.

However, in order to realize such a concept, the problems and barriers faced are also one after another, so the steps must be moved forward steadily, one step at a time, to restore and strengthen Daming's credibility and confidence.

"The only thing we can do now is to wait patiently."

Looking at the memorabilia in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting firmly on the dragon chair, said softly: "To realize this, the group of European countries going north is the key.

If there is no such premise, it is purely fantasy and empty talk to plan these arrangements.

I hope that Chen Yansheng can bring me more surprises, don't call this time too long. "

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Instead of thinking about it, it's better to deal with the government affairs in front of him first.

The idea is good.

Reality is bad.

If you don't straighten out these bad things in reality one by one, then no matter how good your ideas are in the future, it will be impossible to implement them one by one.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up a memorial, his relaxed face revealed a slightly dignified expression, and Liaodong allocated food and salaries, which brought him back to reality.

But after seeing more than a dozen memorials, Emperor Chongzhen's expression became more and more dignified.

Please reply to Nanjing New Factory to cast coins.

Jimiyong Sanxie food and payment.

Please exempt from the land tax of the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties in Shandong.

Liquidate the payment owed by the border town.

Please exempt Shaanxi land tax.

Henan...

When these memorials drafted by the inner court were piled up in front of Emperor Chongzhen, it reminded him that the civil servants were about to counterattack again.

"Wang Banban, check these memorials and the time they were submitted." Emperor Chongzhen frowned, pointed to the stack of memorials, and said to Wang Chengen: "All of them are important matters involving money and food. There was no word of mouth on the cabinet side before." , just submit it to the imperial court.”

"Here!"

Wang Chengen bowed immediately.

Looking at the memorials in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea. The civil officials in the court saw that he, the emperor, had done too many things, which often made them passive, so he changed his ways and tried to restrain himself.

"This is to use the real situation to create an atmosphere where the treasury has no money."

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned and said, "It's just that the traces behind this are too deep, and everyone is always so dishonest.

I want me to live in the Forbidden City, and I will listen to you and watch you do everything. If this financial crisis is not resolved, I am afraid that the follow-up counterattack will be even bigger. "

The above memorials and statements are all correct.

These are indeed things that need to be addressed.

But the only thing wrong must be the time difference.

There must be a part of the memorial, which was there before, but it was not submitted to the imperial court!
"My lord, I've found out everything."

Wang Chengen went back and forth, a little out of breath, held a memorial, and said: "These memorials that the emperor read, some of them have been delayed in the cabinet for a long time, and some are newly presented."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the memorial, looked at the wet ink on the paper, and knew that it was from the Supervisor of Rites, so he urgently checked the corresponding copy.

Daming is simply too huge.

The memorials submitted every day are extremely large in number.

Even if you want to do something about it, as long as you do it quietly, it's easy.

The energy of the emperor is limited, it is impossible to read all the memorials, and it is normal for the cabinet to share part of it.

"These memorials submitted to the imperial court have the biggest difference, and they can all be separated by a month." Looking at the contents of the memorials, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Wang Banban, what do you think this means?"

"I would like to report to the emperor, judging from the memorandum presented to the imperial court, the servant feels that someone did it on purpose."

Wang Chengen thought for a while, bowed and said, "Maybe it's a cabinet minister, maybe it's an official of the cabinet, maybe it's six departments, it's all possible.

What is the specific situation, the servant does not know. "

Without looking at the content of those memorials, Wang Chengen just submitted the proposal from the cabinet to the imperial court. In such a long time, Wang Chengen explained everything he knew.

"Not just."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the memorial and said with a chuckle: "From the Metropolitan Procuratorate, from the Ministry of Household Affairs, from the Ministry of War, from the Ministry of Industry, ministers of the third and fourth ranks, and officials of the sixth and seventh ranks.

The memorials submitted are all recent ones, and all of them belong to the authority. In addition to those delayed memorials, I roughly calculated them.

If you want to solve all these things, then the treasury will at least say that it will allocate more than 800 million taels of silver, food and other needs, and I haven't calculated it yet. "

Wang Chengen: "..."

"Yes, there is also this request to make money from the new Nanjing factory."

Emperor Chongzhen took out a memorial and continued: "Not long ago, I asked Bi Qing to also receive money for legal affairs. The adjustment and changes have just begun. The officials of Nanjing Yousi understand it with emotion and make a statement with reason. , What is the relationship between what he asked for and how important it is."

Without the convenient transportation environment of the later generations, Ming Ming was in a situation of postponing many things, but under the small peasant economy, everything was very reasonable.

Unless what is encountered is a very urgent rebellion that seriously endangers local stability, it will be presented layer by layer.

"The silver at the bottom of the treasury is definitely not enough."

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial and said with a smile: "Then Wang Banban thinks that if I summon the cabinet ministers to discuss this matter at this time, if it involves the allocation of money and food, will they ask for internal funds?"

"Yes Yes……"

Wang Chengen was a little nervous and didn't know how to answer.

As usual, it must be so.

But money alone is not enough, there is also food, and all kinds of needs, all of which are added together, at least you must take care of it.

"Then this time, most of the internal money will be settled. What about the next time? Next time?" Emperor Chongzhen continued to ask: "How much silver is there in the internal money? Including Huangzhuang, there are more than 2000 million taels in the convenience store."

Copying so many house thieves and corrupt officials, although Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot, he kept a lot of money in his internal funds.

"Slave..."

Wang Chengen, who was questioned one after another, fell to his knees on the ground, not knowing how to answer. If this is the case, the internal money will be emptied in a short time!
