Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 434

"My servant, please Your Highness... choose another capable person!"

Cao Huachun is really tired, the scale of the imperial store is too large, and the scale of the army's field is also too large.

More than [-] imperial stores, nearly a million employees and tens of thousands of factories behind them, millions of workers...

These are enough to make Cao Huachun very busy, and now he has to add the army to farm the fields, which is really beyond his control.

He said these words not to flatter Zhu Youjian, but he really wanted Zhu Youjian to take off the burden that outsiders envied in military farming from his shoulders.

His thoughts, when he said these words, Zhu Youjian became clear, but there was a tangled look on his face.

Cao Huachun did not have the ability to lead two yamen. If he had, Chongzhen would not have been confused about the financial situation of Yumajian in history.

The current Cao Huachun is the result of Zhu Youjian's repeated training, and his ability is much higher than that of Cao Huachun in history, otherwise he would not even be able to manage the Huangdian.

The reason why Zhu Youjian didn't choose others was because he really didn't have many available people.

This approach seemed extremely stupid to Zhu Youjian, not to mention the land they chose, Zhu Shuosin's move alone made him feel stupid.

"There are also six princes including Tang Fan, Ji Fan, and Huai Fan, and the [-] county princes who have not joined the clan."

He only needs to control the population growth and the inflow of gold and silver to release water.

If there are feudal lords all around, then what Daming has to do is to cut down the feudal lords, or fight among themselves.

It’s just that there is a lot of accumulation and a lot of consumption. Just to support the nearly [-] official farms and grasslands in the world, the Ming Dynasty needs more than [-] million stones of rice and wheat and tens of millions of stones of sweet potatoes and potatoes every year.

"Since you think there is no problem, you should start preparing for the new policy after the autumn harvest next year regarding the military farming."

"Naturally, it won't be digested only by the imperial shop." Zhu Youjian took a sip of tea:

Cao Huachun bowed in return, it was obvious that he was really tired.

After ten years of accumulation, the family wealth accumulated is enough for the Ming army to launch an expedition, and it is also enough to guarantee the meat of more than [-] soldiers.

Zhu Yujian's ability is not bad in the first place, and after being trained by the Yanshan Military Academy, he has basically reached the level of a general soldier.

The land tax has been reduced by more than 800 million shi, and after the color is folded, it is only more than 900 million taels.

However, with the war at this level, Zhu Yujian should lead people to withdraw from South Asia and be ready to surrender at any time.

After the two walked in, they bowed skillfully, and said one after the other:

As long as Daming can develop this territory to one-fifth of the level of future generations, it will really be able to achieve a period of "well-off".

What he is facing is reality, human beings, and as long as they are human, they have human nature, and human nature has shortcomings, and the shortcomings of most people are nothing more than four things: power, wealth, beauty, sex and reputation.

The number of people seems small, and the Ming army still has 22 military horses to equip 11 cavalry, but the problem is that all military horses are out of production, which puts too much pressure on Daming.

It's worth it, and it's worth it, and it's not worth it. In short, the abundant animal power gave the Ming army the capital to launch an expedition of thousands of miles, and the military horses allowed the Ming army's cavalry to quickly recover after being hit.

Zhu Youjian is about to start reducing the land tax, and the prerequisite for reducing the land tax is the issuance of new coins and the opening of banks.

"In the future, a thousand catties will be converted into a ton. This year's factory output value will not be reported. Next year, it will be calculated in tons, and grain will still be used in stone." Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial and interrupted while processing it.

"How much gold and silver have they saved?"

The current territory of the Ming Dynasty, including the suzerain-vassal system, is more than 2000 million square kilometers. With the help of industrial power, later generations have reclaimed 70 billion mu of arable land and nearly [-] billion mu of pasture on this large piece of land.

"It's already set off, and it's in the second batch of ships sailing to the West. He and Qinyang King Zhu Qixu brought three hundred palace guards, and two thousand men rushed to Jiufan." Wang Chengen responded:

"His Royal Highness didn't pay attention to his own wedding, but he is a busy man."

If there is no accident, ten years later, the cavalry of the Ming army can ride Arabian war horses whose shoulder height is two or three inches higher than the Hequ horse.

Eastern Europe will be the main battlefield for foreign countries in the future. As for Zhu Yujian, it is best to go to the Middle East.

Zhu Youjian really wants to know how much money he has now.

"According to the estimates of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, the Tang Fan has accumulated more than [-] taels, the Huai Fan has more than [-] taels, the Ji Fan has more than [-] taels, and the Ning Fan..."

"Li Changgeng has come to look for me, and the denomination of silver coins in the mint has reached more than 900 million taels."

"However, the old Tang King of Tang Fan seems to have no intention of going to the Tang Kingdom with Tang Fan's son and grandson, but is planning to go to himself..."

The Little Ice Age was not only aimed at Ming Dynasty. Europe has experienced a food shortage crisis for nearly 100 years, so it can only develop the American continent to feed back Europe.

A completely out-of-production military horse needs at least [-] acres of grassland plus three acres of bean fields every year, and captive military horses also need [-] acres of grassland and two acres of soybean fields.

Most of the people who could stand out in the late Ming Dynasty were generals, but only a few civil servants.

Zhu Youjian didn't feel much, after all, if it wasn't for him, Zhu Qiqi wouldn't be alive now.

Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Youjian remained silent for a long time, so he continued to talk about the results of the Yumajian, and finally explained:

The Ming army's less than 49 horses have already occupied more than 2000 million mu of grassland and millions of mu of bean fields.

A general of ten thousand people, although it is a bit worthless at the moment, but before the first year of Taichang, Daming would be able to find five or six such generals by digging and searching.

Zhu Youjian wants to solve the employment problem, not to create employment.

If Zhu Youjian remembers correctly, the current population of the world is between [-] and [-] million. Except for the people of Ming Dynasty who can have enough to eat because of his new policy, the people in other places have to endure inflation and the situation of not having enough to eat .

However, he still came back. If he wanted to reclaim the land and profit from the imperial store run by Nuer, he had to distribute enough agricultural tractors.

"In addition, he has discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs. After he succeeds in establishing the feudal domain, he will move [-] craftsmen and men to the Tang Dynasty, and he will rent a battalion of soldiers and horses from the Five Army Commander's Mansion."

Who are their people?Is it the gentleman's people or the people of all parties?
If the military farmland is handed over to them, I am afraid that it will be out of Zhu Youjian's control in a few years.

Zhu Youjian did not expect that Zhu Yujian could accumulate so much money in just three years, but all the money would eventually fall into Daming's hands.

From this point of view, his goal may be the Americas, but now America has become the vassal of Qi, so his goal can only turn to the central and western regions of Levia.

As early as the fourth year of the apocalypse, Zhu Youjian said that the Fu of the seven officials and three fields of the people in the army should be reduced, but it has not been implemented for six years.

"Your Highness, the layout of the palace is almost ready, now I have to tell you about the process."

If they are given a few more years, maybe a few talents can emerge, but there are not many at the moment.

Moving the population out will reduce the workload of local village officials and also reduce the volume of trade.

"I don't understand this, but if you want to take back the running silver from the imperial store and release the imperial court's own new coins, then this amount should be enough." Cao Huachun replied respectfully:
"Just relying on the imperial store to digest, it seems a bit slow..."

This was certainly due to the severe drought, but it was also because the Ming court's finances could not function properly.

However, in Eastern Europe, Zhu Youjian is not going to be crowned king, because he has to find an outlet for Daming to vent his anger.

The eliminated people have no food to eat and no jobs, which will always be a factor of unrest among the people.

"Huangdian currently has more than 19 stores, with 110 million employees."

As long as they can save money, Zhu Youjian doesn't need to worry about finances, because no matter how he embezzles it, the inflow of gold and silver from overseas will make up for the shortfall.

Cao Huachun had no reason to reject the imperial government's policy of lowering land taxes, because the reason why the army's farmland was difficult to manage was mainly because of the large amount of land taxes collected, the difficulty of transportation, and the need for more manpower.

If the land tax is reduced, the army can use animal power to garrison the land, making the transportation of land tax much easier.

Cooperating with the household registration system and passbook system, as well as the system of grain collection by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the imperial court can completely transfer coins to farmers' passbooks while buying grain.

In addition to other draft horses, cattle and sheep, each needs ten to twenty acres of pastures, if Zhu Youjian hadn't conquered the Hetao and Taining three prefectures, even if all these horses, cattle and sheep were raised in captivity, they would be enough to occupy the entire Ming Dynasty. one-third of the arable land.

But no matter what, if Daming wanted to export grain, the most important thing was to first develop the arable land in his hands.

Yang Yuanai explained in a soft voice, but Yang Rushi had Li Qingzhao's character, with thorns in her words, but also reminding her of concern.

"I know about this." Zhu Youjian interrupted him.

The old Tang king Zhu Shuoyu wanted to go to India with his youngest son Biyang Wang Zhu Qixu to serve as a servant in the south of the Kingdom of Mysore, and gave all his family property to his youngest son.

Yanshan has trained him a lot of talents, but those are only talents from one town, one county, and one prefecture, and the existence of military farms that involve a quarter of Ming's taxation is not something they can manage well.

But at this time, Yang Yuanai and Yang Rushi walked to the gate of the hall, and when Zhu Youjian saw the two of them, he raised his hand to signal them to come in.

After all, the only way to liberate the labor force is to rely on the power of the industrial revolution to relocate the people inside the customs to outside the customs and overseas.

The imperial store has a lot of expenses, a lot of income, and even more turnover. Otherwise, Zhu Youjian would not be afraid of the counterfeit money dealers in the market, and wanted to wait for Tianqi Tongbao to save enough before releasing it at once.

Cao Huachun didn't disappoint Zhu Youjian, he didn't intend to eliminate the redundant staff, because the redundant staff could be thrown to the slaves, and there were not enough people.

"Don't miss your homework, I hope you will become a poetess, and add another good story to this prosperous age of Ming Dynasty."

"Counting in the 50 taels of silver that I allowed Tang Fan to borrow before, Zhu Yujian has saved no less than a million taels for his father, which is a bit interesting..."

Zhu Youjian put the vermilion pen on the pen holder, and he finished processing the last memorial.

That is to say, if Zhu Yujian leads troops, his four younger brothers can command the four battalions very well, and Zhu Yujian will be a qualified general if he cooperates with his four younger brothers.

Zhu Youjian knew that Zhu Yujian's family hid and seized things on the battlefield, but he didn't expose them, but kept indulging them.

But on the whole, Huangdian is taking advantage.

Looking at Cao Huachun, Zhu Youjian, who had no one available, still chose the general Tuntian to be managed by Cao Huachun, but he also promised to pick him out.

After Jianlu was eliminated, his energy had to be put on the vassal land of the various vassals, as well as the vassal land of Qi State.

The following Uzang, Western Regions, and even Mobei don't need Zhu Youjian's energy, and the people below can clean them up.

"This amount is still too small. I want to wait until he has accumulated 9000 million taels before releasing it at once. What do you think?"

People such as Bi Ziyan, Li Changgeng, Shen Tingyang, Dong Yingju, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, etc. were all recruited by Zhu Youjian early on.

He Zhu Youjian also seeks fame and power, but what he seeks is the name of all generations and the power of a country.

"Now that the mint has added two hundred minting machines, it is estimated that by the end of next year, more than 5000 million new coins of two denominations should be produced."

The Shangzhi Four Cavalry Guards have three army horses plus one nanny horse per capita, and the cavalry in the Shangzhi Gongwei Battalion and the Ordinary Gongwei Battalion have two army horses and one nanny horse per capita. However, due to the rapid expansion of the army, many Gongwei camps have no cavalry.

Among other things, Nanzhou, which is the largest in Daming, currently has less than 40 people living on it, and the total area of ​​arable land and pastures is less than 200 million mu.

Zhu Yujian's four younger brothers, according to Zhu Youjian, have basically reached the level of a general.

Zhu Youjian has already prepared for the industrial affairs, and now the only thing left is to destroy the Jianlu, and then Daming can recuperate and reduce the intensity of the war.

His words instantly made the "ton" appear more than 200 years earlier. Although according to his words, one ton in Daming is equal to [-] kilograms. Although it is not an integer in later generations, it is an integer for Daming, and it has been simplified a lot.

After the run was over and the peasants believed that the court would not withhold the new currency, they would naturally deposit their silver in the bank.

"There are also more than 120 million sheep, more than [-] million pigs, [-] million head of cattle, more than [-] million poultry, and elephants..."

With less than 25 billion mu of arable land in the world, Daming has occupied nearly two-fifths of the developed land.

People need time to experience and improve their abilities. Yanshan students have only been in the officialdom for five or six years, the elders are only in their early thirties, and the young are only seventeen or eighteen years old.

In this way, Zhu Youjian can embezzle a small amount of deposits in the bank for disaster relief at certain times.

While Zhu Youjian circled red for the memorial in front of him, he told Cao Huachun:

As for the harvesting of grain, the grain can be transported slowly after harvesting, so there is no need to worry as much as the land tax.

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, there were only 3 Hequ army horses, and more than [-] cavalry were able to attack the grassland.

Counting Shangzhi, the total number of cavalry of the Ming army is 11. Of course, this is the branch in several major theaters of the Ming Dynasty and Xiaoxiyang, Jiugang, Yingzhou and other places.

"There are a total of 670 million employees in factories, imperial stores, officialdoms, and shipyards, with a total salary of more than 200 million taels a year, an annual turnover of more than [-] million taels, and a profit of about [-] million taels."

"I plan to implement the New Deal for the other Beijing and six provinces in the north at the same time as the success of the Sichuan New Deal next year, and implement the ten endowment and one policy for the nearly 7000 million mu of arable land in the Beijing and six provinces."

"The servants have learned about the situation of the slaves from Cheng En. I am afraid that not only do we not need to lay off redundant staff, but we also need to recruit experts."

On balance, Zhu Youjian hoped that he could take Tang Fan to Central Asia or Eastern Europe to become a fan.

There were more than 16 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and if each person saved one penny, he could save 600 taels. If each person saved one hundred cash, that would be [-] million taels.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Chengen, who had stood at the door for a long time, quickly walked into the hall, and responded with a bow:

In this way, farmers and workers may go to withdraw money in the early stage, causing the bank to run out of currency, but with the presence of the imperial store, a steady stream of new currency will flow into the bank, and the bank can survive.

According to Zhu Youjian, even if there are only 1 villages in Nuergan, 1 village officials are needed to manage them, and at least [-] towns and hundreds of counties are needed to manage these [-] villages.

It is very simple to deal with the Europeans. As long as Ming consolidates its internal forces and drives them back to Europe from the Americas, then release a large amount of grain to increase the population of Europe, and finally use grain trade to clean up Europe.

Hand over the nearly [-] million mu of military farmland of the Yumajian to them, and if they want to manage the military farmland well, they need to place their own people.

For the remaining Nan Juyi, Gu Bingqian, Zuo Guangdou, and Yuan Keli, Zhu Youjian knew that they were talented, but he didn't trust them.

But it's different now. The annual revenue of the Huangdian has reached 200 million taels, including the court's small tax and miscellaneous items, it has basically reached about 500 million taels.

If you meet someone who is short-tempered, you may be choked to death by Yang Rushi. Fortunately, Zhu Youjian is open-minded and doesn't care about her little woman's attitude, just smiled:

Wang Chengen told the report of Beizhen Fusi one by one, and Zhu Youjian was very interested after hearing it:

"Hubu estimates that next year's land tax will drop from the estimated 7000 million shi to 200 million shi."

"At present, there are more than 1 factories, more than 370 million employees, and an annual output of more than [-] million jin of steel and cement..."

The population can be relocated to open up new land, which is tantamount to making the cake bigger. With money in the hands of the people, the trade volume of the imperial store will continue to increase.

"Your Highness Ron..."

But America...

If the potential of Nanzhou can be unleashed, Daming can monopolize [-]% of the grain in this era. Counting the rest of Ming, Daming is qualified to monopolize the grain market in this era.

Captive military horses are different from military horses in the army. The Ming army still has 26 military horses in the army.

"The servant thinks this is a good thing."

You must know that when each Han dynasty was at its peak, the cavalry were basically Hequ horses and Yili horses, and when the dynasty began to weaken, the cavalry began to ride short Mongolian horses.

Without the Americas, coupled with the situation of many European countries, in the 90-year Little Ice Age, unless they are willing to suffer from famine, Ming's food will become the largest export commodity between the East and the West in the future.

There are six father and son Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian, and Zhu Youjian has been observing secretly.

"Yes..." Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment, and Zhu Youjian also wrote a ton of characters with a ink brush for Cao Huachun to read. After reading it, he agreed, and continued to bow:
"There are 52 official farms, 22 grasslands, more than 160 employees, [-] military horses in captivity, and [-] million cattle, draft horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock."

The population is dense, but the output per capita is not much, the value is low, and the people have no money in their hands, so the trade volume is also small.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian asked at the door:
"Cheng En, how many vassal kings in Beijing are not involved in the vassal right now?"

"How's the situation at the Horse Guard?"

Zhu Youjian walked back to his seat and sat down, Cao Huachun also took two steps forward when he heard the words, and continued to bow and reply:

Thinking of Yang Wenyue's letter, Zhu Youjian sneered in his heart.

At present, among the Ming army, there are only 150 guard battalions with cavalry, and each battalion has only one sentry.

He should go to a place that is conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty and far away from the struggle of the feudal clans.

The prosperity of the officialdom is also the reason why Zhu Youjian is most satisfied with Wang Chengen.

Right now, the imperial court is expanding its borders and conquering all directions, and there are plenty of jobs for this group of people.

Especially after taking down the three prefectures of Taining, Wang Chengen introduced a large number of Hequ horses and constantly changed the breeds of horses. This allowed the Ming army to ride Hequ horses with a shoulder height of four feet four, instead of riding Hequ horses with a shoulder height of less than four feet. Mongolian horse.

After Zhu Youjian listened to the summary of the Yumajian, he told Cao Huachun:

"Has Zhu Shuoshui already set off?"

"If you want to eliminate redundant staff during this process, you should also pay attention to it, don't eliminate too many staff, and arrange new places for those eliminated."

When it came to the end, Wang Chengen couldn't help but sigh at what happened to Zhu Qiqi.

"With these five sons, he can enjoy the late blessing."

"The slaves are going to send them to the land of Nu'ergan after His Royal Highness destroys the captives, and prepare for the relocation."

"He saved a lot of money, but it was a pity that it was spent by Biyang King Zhu Qixu. Tang Shizi Zhu Qiqi was really unlucky. Fortunately, he has five good sons."

Such a situation drove Europeans to live in the Americas, and the reduction in grain production brought about by the Little Glacier also caused the price of rice and wheat in various countries to soar.

With his ability, coupled with the eliminated equipment of the Ming army, and the support of Da Ming behind him, it is very possible that Da Ming can pose a threat to the countries of Eastern Europe without taking any action.

One hundred cash is nothing more than one-third of an mu of land for farmers, and less than half a month's wages for urban laborers.

Not to mention that the Ming army is now starting to use the Arabian horses and sweaty BMWs brought back by Xu Xiake to start breeding military horses.

But Zhu Yujian is not stupid, if he goes to the Middle East, he will become Daming's pawn, and in the future when Daming enters the middle of the Central Asian River, he will still need to be restrained by Daming.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were less than 13 million mu of arable land, and less than [-] million mu of grassland. Adding the Xiaoxiyang and suzerain-vassal systems, the cultivated land did not exceed [-] billion mu, and the grassland was basically [-] million mu.

Generally speaking, Zhu Qiqi is weak, but has a good heart, and his five sons are united by all, and Zhu Yujian is the leader.

What Zhu Youjian is facing is not a game, it is not just a click of the mouse that can make people 100% loyal to themselves, obedient like a robot, and execute their own instructions.

"Jun Tun Tian, ​​​​you take it temporarily, and if there is a suitable person, I will pick you out."

There are gold mines here, and there are traces of human-made rough development, and it is far enough away from Daming, and with the supervision of the South Kunlun Supervisory Commissioner, Daming will be at ease.

At present, the officialdom has bred nearly 49 Hequ army horses for the Ming army, and there is no dynasty that can compare with it.

The cavalry and military horses of the Ming army actually showed explosive growth only from the sixth year of Tianqi.

Zhu Yujian's goal is either the Middle East or western Leviathan.

"Your Highness, let's get married first and have a few kids." Yang Rushi said while stepping forward and hugging Zhu Youjian's finished memorabilia to the side, and finally turned around and said:
"The old Fu Wang of Fufan came before the fan, and whispered that our Qi Palace's population is dying."

"How many more sons do you have, you are angry with that fat man."

"Hahahahaha..." Hearing that Yang Rushi compared Zhu Changxun to a fat man, Zhu Youjian laughed heartily, stood up and nodded at the same time:
"Your Highness will work hard..."
