Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 849: The Ministry of Revenue calculates the profits of the war and pays tens of millions of dollars to the emperor and his ministers with laughter

Although Zhu Qiyu shouted arrogantly for a long time when facing Agabarji during today's prisoner presentation ceremony, he actually had no intention of killing anyone at all.

Regardless of whether the Agabarji family surrendered or not, they would not be killed easily. The most they could do was to put them under house arrest just like they did to his family.

The more advantageous the situation is, the more gentle one must be towards the enemy.

Zhu Qiyu took stock himself: "There are still two months left this year, and there is still time to resume mutual trade. Let the Mongolians buy supplies and do New Year's shopping, and spend the winter in peace this year.

As for the tens of thousands of prisoners, they cannot be released and are allowed to do hard work in building a straight road from Ganzhou to Hami.

When the straight road is repaired, ten years later, I will launch a war to destroy the country and capture Eastern Chagatai and part of Timur's empire.

Even if I completely complete my martial arts skills.

At that time, my career as emperor would be officially over. "

Qianxue teased: "Husband, have you been impatient for a long time? You are the only emperor in history who only wants to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "There is no way, people like Renmiao and Xuanmiao are very careless and never think that others dare to attack them.

"Are you still trying to divert misfortune?"

Zhu Qiyu was stunned and couldn't help but praise him sincerely: "You two are so united and decisive. Are you teaming up to bully honest people?"

Let’s celebrate well today, one person at a time, let the rain and dew fall on each other. "

When I can’t do anything anymore, we will grow vegetables and raise flowers in Lingyu Palace, and we will feel quite at ease. "

What do you think, husband? It is enough for a woman to give birth to three or four children, but any more will damage her body. "

I'm not interested in playing with power or being domineering. It's really no fun to be an emperor.

"What's wrong with being over forty? Wu Zetian is over seventy, so she still doesn't have to do what she should do.

Ningxiang smiled and said: "Xi'er will be born next year, and Xue'er will be born the year after that. The slave family will finish the work for the sisters. After giving birth to the last child, they will be left behind.

Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "It's almost time for us to have a baby. Who among you three is the husband?"

In the Hehuan Hall, it is as warm as spring.

Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly: "It's true, we have enough children. Next year, the year after, and the year after, these are the last three years.

Qianxue and Ningxiang reached out their hands in unison and pointed at Su Xi.

At that time, you sisters were all in your twenties, and we could still enjoy each other comfortably for twenty years.

When Ningxiang gives birth in the next year, none of you sisters will have another baby, so let’s end it completely.

Ningxiang was also surprised: "My husband will continue to work for another twenty years. By then, our sisters will be over forty. Don't you want to get a new batch of women?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "To be successful in life, you must have all the fun. We will talk about the future later. The hot spring has been soaked. Let's go to bed with one master and five slaves."

Besides, you have taken good care of yourself and are still the same as you were when you were fourteen or fifteen years old. Twenty years later, you will still look like a little girl in your twenties. "

I was scared to death every day, for fear that someone would kill me.

Leave early and leave early, let Zhu Wenfang suffer this serious crime. "

Lin Xiangyu teased: "At that time, we were still like little girls in their twenties, so we have become Xu Qing's younger sisters, right? It's time for her to scold us for being old and immortal."

Therefore, their emperor has no psychological pressure.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, the important ministers came to Ganquan Palace and asked for a court meeting.

Zhu Qiyu got up from the bed and wandered to Qingyun Palace.

The prince and his ministers have been waiting for a long time.

After everyone saluted, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Wenfang sat on the dragon throne together and waved their hands: "Let's start the work." According to Zhu Qiyu's plan, he planned the major military and political events for November and December. The mission can be ended. Let the prince and his officials take care of the specific matters.

Unexpectedly, the first thing I did when I came up was to ask for an official appointment from an important minister.

First of all, Luo Tong, Minister of the Ministry of War, is too old and can't continue to work.

Zhu Qiyu still wanted to persuade him to stay, but Luo Tong implored him very firmly: "Your Majesty, I am really old and have only a few years to live.

The affairs of the Ministry of War are complicated, and the minister is old and waning. Staying in this position will only delay the official business of the court. "

"Then if I don't love you, I'll be appointed as the Minister of Rites instead?"

Luo Tong shook his head: "I just want to idle at home for a few years, please ask the Holy Spirit for permission."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Since Aiqing insists on resigning and returning to his hometown, that's fine. I will promote Aiqing to the rank of bachelor or junior master of Jinshen Palace. He will serve as an official and return home by post."

As a result, only Xu Youzhen and Jiang Yuan are left as ministers of the Ministry of War, and Jiang Yuan is in charge of the overall situation in Japan and will not be back for a while.

Fortunately, Xu Youzhen was young and powerful, and he was able to withstand the Ministry of War by himself.

The two departments of Hu and Xing have enough ministers, and the Ministry of Rites has only one minister, but it doesn't matter, the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do.

However, the Ministry of Industry is still very short of ministers. Currently, Xu Youzhen is temporarily allowed to serve as minister of the Ministry of Industry, but this is not a long-term solution.

As for the Ministry of Personnel, Minister He Wenyuan is not young anymore, and he will retire in a few years.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know exactly when he would retire, and he didn't dare to ask.

After all, he was the hero of Conglong who followed him from the beginning. If you ask him, it means he was forced to become an official.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to ask Shen Yi: "Shen Aiqing, how much have we lost in this year's war?"

Chen Yi replied: "The Ministry of Household Affairs found that more than 5,630,000 taels of silver flowers have gone out, and the grain, grass, cotton, silk and other materials used are worth more than 4 million taels.

After the war is over, at least four to five million taels will be needed to reward those who participated in the war and to provide compensation to the fallen soldiers.

The people were mobilized to transport grain, grass and baggage, which delayed farming. They will also be given tax relief next year, which is also a lot of money.

But we won't gain much from this war. Only tens of thousands of war horses were captured, which were worth some money.

There are more than 100,000 prisoners who cannot be killed, and it is difficult to release them.

This year the Mongolians have also been delayed from grazing. If we ask them to compensate us for our cattle, sheep and horses, I'm afraid they won't have much to compensate. "

Zhu Qiyu and the ministers all understood that after a decisive battle, the net loss would be tens of millions of taels.

As for the benefits, they are not visible for the time being.

Pretending to be thoughtful, Zhu Qiyu asked after a moment: "I plan to completely abolish the position of the Mongolian Khan and enfeoff the princes to occupy Mongolia.

Then all the Mongolians were included in the Ming household registration and made them citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

When people farm land, they have to pay taxes and grain.

Later, when the Mongols became common people in the Ming Dynasty, they also had to pay taxes. They used cattle, sheep and horses to pay taxes.

In this way, we can recover some of the more than 10 million we lost. "

The ministers all laughed when they heard this.

Although more than 10 million yuan was lost, the courtiers of Jingtai's line were very happy.

As long as the threat of the Mongols can be completely eliminated, the money is well spent.
