My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

"The soldiers are well trained."

Standing on the school grounds, looking at the Longxiang guards standing in neat formation, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and praised Zhao Lute for his teachings.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Shujiao quickly thanked him.

"There are just too many mules."

But immediately after, Zhu Youxiao poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Lijiao.

"...I am guilty."

Hearing this, Zhao Shujiao blushed and quickly handed over his hand.

"It's not your fault that you can't sell the horse. What's your fault?"

Seeing Zhao Lingjiao like this, Zhu Youxiao shook his head helplessly.

Without continuing to say anything on this issue, Zhu Youxiao changed the topic and taught Zhao Lulu.

"Xiyuan is not a place for cavalry training. I feel sorry for you to lead the troops to guard here for a month."

"It is my duty to guard Your Majesty. How dare I express my grievances?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lijiao bowed his hand rather modestly.

"I am afraid that I will let down His Majesty's holy grace."

"You are a veteran general in the army, and you have a family tradition. I won't say anything about military training. If you need money and food, give money and food, and if you need people, give them to others."

After today's military parade was completed, Zhu Youxiao planned to go back, but before leaving, Zhu Youxiao asked Zhao Shu.

"I have only one request, that I must train my generals."

"I will definitely train a strong army for Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhijiao immediately raised his hands and said.

"I believe you."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao did not look back, just waved his hand and left far away.

Not to mention how Zhao Shujiao trained his soldiers, Zhu Youxiao walked on the road and said to the people around him.

"Let Wang Mo come to see me."

"Yes!"

After returning to the Imperial Study Room, he held a memorial in his hand and not long after reading it, he saw Wang Mo walking in in a hurry.

"I've asked people to come to Pan Palace to do an accounting. How's the investigation going on with the fodder farm under the Royal Horse Supervisor's jurisdiction?"

Wang Mo just came in and was noticed by Zhu Youxiao.

"Go back to your Majesty."

After hearing the emperor's question, Wang Mo did not dare to answer immediately. Instead, he came behind the emperor, knelt down and said.

"The slave and Yang Daxuan only inspected seven pastures and were assassinated four times."

"There are only 1,700 horses left on the racecourse, and the land on the racecourse has also been used to grow food."

With his head bowed on the ground, Wang Mo said honestly that the horse farm in the Royal Horse Supervisor was so bad that he could not lift the string.

The responsibilities of the Chaplain are divided into military and financial responsibilities.

His military responsibility was to command the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion. The Four Guards Battalion was now reorganized into the Pro-Army Four Guards, and the extra personnel were incorporated into the Inspectorate of Admiral Wei Zhongxian.

As for the financial responsibilities, one is to manage the Yuma Pasture, the Li Pasture in the Imperial City, the Zhongfu Pasture outside Dong'an Gate, the Tianshi'an Pasture in the northeast outside the Imperial City, etc.

Liu Shimin once worked as a bookkeeper in Licaochang.

The second is to manage grazing land, such as the more than 2,600 hectares of Shunyi County North Pasture, the 128 hectares of Anzhou Pasture, etc.

The Royal Horse Supervisor has more than 20 horse farms, also known as stables, in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Where's the hayyard?"

Rolling his eyes, Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.

Customized in the second year of Xuande, the Royal Horse Supervisor, Elephants, Horses, Cattle and Sheep fodder are all distributed among the households in Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili to collect the fodder. Each year, they collect more than 182,000 stones and 490 hay. More than sixty thousand bundles.

However, with the passage of time, population growth, and the gradual reclamation of northern wasteland, it has become increasingly difficult to collect acres of grass.

After the Longqing-Wanli Reform, the Zhese silver from Shandong and Henan Liangdao was transferred directly to Taichou, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then the Taikou silver taels were given to the Royal Horse Supervisor to purchase fodder from households.

"The accounts of the fodder farm have been checked and more than forty corrupt eunuchs have been found."

"After confiscating the family property, in addition to property and treasures, a total of 1,740,000 taels of silver were obtained."

Looking up at the emperor, Wang Mo answered honestly.

"Huangzhuang, Huangdian."

After closing the memorial and tapping it on his arm, Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and asked.

"The investigation of Huangzhuang Huangdian has been completed, and one hundred and sixty-nine corrupt eunuchs have been found."

"After confiscating the family property, in addition to property and treasures, a total of 3.64 million taels of silver were obtained."

"How much silver?"

Hearing Wang Mo's words, Zhu Youxiao instantly opened his eyes and looked at him.

"A total of 3,640,000 taels of silver were obtained."

Hearing the emperor's stern question, Wang Mo lowered his head even further, but he still spoke honestly.

"Three million six hundred and forty thousand taels, the income of the Royal Horse Superintendent for ten years!"

Sitting up suddenly from the chair, Zhu Youxiao felt a little unreal.

"How many years have those people been working for the palace?" "Back to the emperor, most of them have been working for more than fifteen years, and the most has been working for thirty years."

"Huh, that makes sense."

Hearing this, Principal Zhu You took a long breath and lay down again.

Thanks to Emperor Wanli, a wealthy man, for leaving him such a big mess.

Over the years, not only Wanli was greedy for money, but the eunuchs below him were even more greedy for money.

It's great now, everyone who copied it is getting richer than the last one.

The corruption problem in the palace is shocking.

"Liu Daban, I gave you, the palm seal of the Sifu Palace, the title of the second grade, and asked you, the ancestor in the palace, to re-define the title of the newly established Yamen of the Fourth Prefecture. How is the decision going?"

Turning to look at Liu Shimin standing beside him, Zhu Youxiao asked quietly.

"Go back to your Majesty."

Liu Shimin was a little surprised when the question suddenly came to his head, but then he spoke.

"The emperor presented gifts to the people in the palace, and the servants were very happy."

"But the affairs in the palace are a bit complicated, and I'm still studying it."

"How many people are there in the palace? Count the eunuchs and maids separately."

Moving his fingers, Zhu Youxiao asked again.

"There are currently more than 16,000 eunuchs and more than 5,400 maids in the palace."

"With more than 20,000 people serving me alone, I am truly the emperor."

Listening to Liu Shimin's words, Zhu Youxiao could not help but think with his eyes half empty.

These are all eunuchs who have been established in the palace.

Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were divided into official eunuchs and private eunuchs. Private eunuchs were punished.

Of course, this law has been abolished long ago.

Like other vassals in various places, at first only princes and princes were allowed to use eunuchs, but in recent years, some Fengguo lieutenants have used eunuchs.

"As soon as possible, get me a charter for the regulations of the four palaces."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and pointed at Wang Mo without saying anything else.

"A horse farm is a horse farm, and a pasture is a pasture. What kind of land do you want to farm?"

"Which racecourse is closest to the capital?"

"This is the stable of Zhuqi."

"Go and draw it for me on the map."

"My slave takes orders."

Hearing this, Wang Mo quickly stood up from the ground and marked out his position on the screen behind the emperor.

"This location is...the border between Haidian and Changping?"

Looking at the bunch of small dots marked by Wang Mo on the map, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think.

Suddenly, he remembered a record he made when he was bored and reading something online.

The villages in Changping such as Xisanqi, Xierqi, Dongsanqi and Dongerqi are named after the residences of various small flag officials who herded horses in the Ming Dynasty.

Co-authored This is true.

"No one was killed, right?"

After looking at the map for a while, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said something.

"Without the emperor, none of the slaves would dare to take action."

Upon hearing this senseless remark, before Wang Mo said anything, Liu Shimin came to Zhu Youxiao's side and knelt down.

"This servant also hopes that the emperor will spare their lives for the sake of these people who have been working for the palace for so many years."

"..."

Turning his head and looking at Liu Shimin, who kept looking at him with cold sweat on his head, Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed.

"I have made a lifetime of money for Grandpa Huang. Now that Grandpa Huang is gone, you have copied the money they were greedy for me. Why should I kill them?"

Sitting up from the chair, Zhu Youxiao twisted his neck and continued.

"Those who are greedy for money, take some time and the four of you can get together and discuss. If those people are useful, especially those who are good at doing business and settling accounts, just keep them and continue to use them."

"However, you can only stay outside the palace and are not allowed to enter the palace to serve you."

"As for those who are said to be unusable, considering that they have worked hard for the palace for decades, they can go to Yanggong Manor to take care of themselves and have someone take care of them."

"Those who enter the palace only want wealth or power."

"I asked Liu Shimin to order products for the eunuchs of the fourth house, just to give them more monthly money so that they don't have to be corrupt."

"As for the right to speak, then they have to show their talents."

"Slaves, thank you for your great kindness."

At this moment, everyone in the room became excited after hearing the emperor's words.

"You must remember that I can be stupid and greedy, but I will tolerate them and will not kill them."

"However, I will never tolerate infidelity."

"If I find out who dares to collude with outsiders, I will chop him alive!" (End of Chapter)
