Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that as he spent more time in charge of Ming Dynasty and did more things, his impact on this era would increase.

This is inevitable.

When the first domino is toppled, the resulting effect is that the second, third, and even more dominoes are toppled.

The general situation was affected by him.

Order was affected by him.

Chaotang was influenced by him.

Jianlu was influenced by him.

The thief was influenced by him...

If he wanted the influence of these to no longer affect Daming, then Emperor Chongzhen had to do more different things in order to achieve corresponding results.

"Many industries under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not only related to palace expenses, but also related to the national economy and people's livelihood."

Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon chair, looked at the items on the imperial case, and said to Qian Sule and other ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Don't look at the increase in tax money in the treasury, but there are many important military and government affairs involving money and food. In rare cases, domestic funds are needed to allocate food and salaries, otherwise it will not be able to be carried out very well.

Take a look at the current bureaucracy, what it looks like.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate under the leadership of Han Jisi, only conducted investigations in the central court, and found out so many deficits. I never expected to find out so many.

Many people in the government and the opposition say that I am greedy for money and that I take profits from the people, but why no one said that when the court encounters some problems, I am the only one who will use real money to solve these problems? "

Qian Sule, Li Changxiang and other ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you look at me, I look at you, with different expressions on their faces.

Although they sometimes did not understand or approve of the decisions and instructions made by the emperor, they did not have any objections to this matter.

Like maintaining the operation of disaster relief agencies in various places, this is an important way to solve disasters in various places.

Like supporting the operation of river governance governors in various places, this is an important guarantee for solving river politics in various places in Ming Dynasty.

Like the grand plan to ensure the pan-Liaodong strategy, this is an important suppression measure to solve the Jianku Eight Banners.

Similar to the above-mentioned situations, there are many, many more. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will solve part of it, the money and food provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are indelible.

If there is no money and food support from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is purely whimsical to think of such a stable maintenance of the above-mentioned clear planning and deployment.

Daming's serious financial problems have been resolved to a small extent, but this does not mean that hidden dangers and bad governance have been resolved so quickly.

With such an extremely fragile fiscal relief, if you dare to make some other fiscal expenditures and ask the treasury to bear it, it will collapse quickly, and then return to the old road of the past.

"To my Ming Dynasty, the tobacco industry is a very new industry."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up a cigarette and looked at Qian Sule and the others, "Although this is an imported product, in my opinion, if different varieties of tobacco can be cultivated, they can be mass-produced and sold through the cigarette factory planned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If it goes through a long period of development, the value it generates is far more than the silver earned from the monopoly of salt and iron."

"Your Majesty, although the tobacco industry has taken shape, I still have some concerns about tobacco."

Qian Sule stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "This thing was introduced into Ming Dynasty through Lu Song during the Wanli period. I also heard that people who smoke this substance for a long time are prone to addiction, and if they don't smoke it, they will experience fatigue and so on..."

"The Qing family is right."

Emperor Chongzhen took a cigarette and interrupted: "The symptoms you mentioned do exist, but this product can also relieve the mind. Although it is addictive, it is harmful to the body. There is no so-called 'fushou ointment'. produced large.

As far as my Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is necessary to crack down on the "fushou cream" which is very poisonous, but the development of the tobacco industry must be supported accordingly, which is one of the important components of increasing the tax revenue of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The tobacco industry at this stage is still a seedling in Daming, and few people know about it. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs gradually develops it, I will issue a corresponding order to prohibit the private sector from getting involved in the tobacco industry, and call the Ministry of Internal Affairs to specialize in tobacco , Actively generate income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "

No one knew better than Emperor Chongzhen the huge profits brought by the tobacco industry. It was precisely this huge profit that made Emperor Chongzhen decide to develop the industry.

no way.

Emperor Chongzhen needed silver.

A lot of silver.

Following the planning and deployment planned by Emperor Chongzhen, in the continuous progress in an orderly manner, many fields were involved, and more money needed to be poured in.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Armed Forces Institute, a gold-swallowing beast, spends a huge amount of money every year on investment in the field of military industry and research and development in the field of steam.

The former can also earn corresponding money back through the increase in holdings in arms transactions, but the latter is purely throwing money. When it will be effective, I don’t know. When it will work, I don’t know.

But no matter how much money was thrown in, no return could be seen in a short period of time, Emperor Chongzhen had to tighten his belt to support.

Faced with such a reality, if Emperor Chongzhen did not want to find ways to get money, once there was a shortage, he would be in big trouble.

"When it comes to the development of the tobacco industry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to submit memorials to the imperial court every month. I want to know about this situation." Looking at the crowd with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen put down his cigarette and said.

"The matched match industry can be established in various places in Beizhili. After all, this product can not only ignite cigarettes, but also facilitate the need for ignition.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs must dispatch a group of people as soon as possible to work with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to cultivate more types of tobacco. This is my will, not a negotiation. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone bowed to each other immediately.

Although Qian Sule and other ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a lot of worries about the tobacco industry, they dare not mention anything else in the face of the powerful Chongzhen Emperor.

After all, they are also aware of the situation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If there are not more new sources of income as soon as possible to supplement the funds under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, many things will be forced to stop. Emperor Chongzhen is good at making money, and spending money is like flowing water.

However, the money spent by Emperor Chongzhen was not used for pleasure.

'The present opportunity is not yet ripe, and when the time is right, this Fulu ointment will also be launched. 'Looking at Qian Sule and the others, Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, 'This kind of thing will be severely cracked down in Ming Dynasty, but the countries of Europe, we must do it for it. '

Thinking of the numerous blood debts committed by the European countries, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hide his inner anger. If it was not their fault, then so many tragic things would not have happened in China in the original timeline.

I didn't have the chance to kill them before, but now that I have the chance, I must try to kill them, so that the civilization of these bandits will be severely damaged one by one!
